i promised better photos of the jacket i sewed recently... finally had time to sit down and grab some! they're still not great buuut probably the best i'll get!
u u uwah uwah
testing an animation program bc i'd like to do some bigger projects eventuallyyy... the program is animeeffects and it's free!!
armor design done!! aaand they are absolutely never getting chosen in art trades ever again lmfao
redesign some armor, they said. it'll be fun, they said.
also known as: how to never get your character drawn in draw the person above you threads EVER again
i was never quiiite happy with eris's armor originally, so... i'm making some tweaks now. currently in the first phase of just trying to figure out the shapes + vague details. it's supposed to be very angelic looking, with wings and bright colors, but also some scary and/or grotesque detailing. they're an oath of conquest paladin that loves to inspire terror and awe just by setting foot on the battlefield!
originally, their armor had wings on the shoulders, a bunch of eyes embossed all over + a grinning mouth centerpiece, but i wasn't quite happy with that, so i'm messing around! some of these keep the eyes motif, but the third one i'm thinking about going more... akhnaten baby doll head dress (aka one of my favorite opera costumes ever). i'm also considering skulls, other sorts of masks, or maybe even just replacing it w/ a lot of eyes! should be a bit more clear when i go and clean up the forms or add color. and all the vague swoopy shapes are gonna get turned into wings Eventually btw
sooo yeah- also putting a poll on this baby, but no guarantees i'll follow it. just trying to get a Feel! also would appreciate comments on what aspects u like best or if you like some elements from one and others from another. or general ideas!

oh boo hoo did someone get sent to walmart purgatory for his crimes
did a sketch swap with my bf! he doesn't have a waterfall, but his toyhouse is condensedmilk. his original sketch under the cut
sooo this is my 3rd (or 4th?) year in a row of an annual tradition of painting self portraits on the 1st of every year! this one is definitely my proudest yet, but i've included the others (+ a few bonus ones from in between, normally done as part of school projects or art challenges!) under the cut
september 2020- something speedpainty. i think this is one of the closer ones i've gotten to my actual face up until now! it was late at night, i'd just gotten done sewing, but the way the lights and mirror are set up in the attic makes my face look super skeletal and gaunt when it's like 2 AM and i'm still up there trying things on. i came downstairs and in a tired fervor wanted to capture a bit of that and then pass out.
february 2020- part of an art challenge. honestly kinda hate it now, there's not enough contrast and the colors are a bit wack and idk what's happening with that nose lol
january 2020- i'd been testing out some new art techniques but also my face is far too wide here. some of the shading is still cool ig and i have cycled back to some of these techniques more recently!
november 2019- i was in a class abt meditation and self-reflection and some other shit. one project was doin an art project based on personal symbolism, meditation, dreams, etc. this is what mine ended up as.
january 2019- uhh yea this was from when i still didnt paint that much and was testing new stuff idk why i made myself so shiny i think i was compensating for not knowing how to do a lot of other things
