Christmas Rebirth

 Hah. Well, how are you lot doing? I've been quite busy this week... Family coming over to visit, cousins to entertain, Christmas shenanigans to do...
Not to mention getting baptized with my sister. That took a little bit of my time. :)

Because of the mayhem of everything, I wasn't sure if I was going to draw something special for it or not. But an entire afternoon before the event and a brand new toy for me to draw on found me itching to at least try.

So here's what I've done!

 First time drawing with my new Christmas Gift! It was a little weird, but I think I'm warming up to it quite quickly.
In a week's time I'll be wondering how I managed to draw for so long with my old tablet, I bet. XD

Anyway! Suffice to say I've had a pretty special Christmas this year!

And I'll be... *checks calendar* seeing you lot next year!
Dang.
This year is almost over.

Y'know, despite 2020 being horrible in a lot of ways, I think this was one of my best years so far? Sure, I've been stressed, but I've been learning how to deal with it, and I know I'm coping a lot better than 17 year old me did. Burnouts? Yeah, I've had a few. But I've also had so many drawing highs it's been kinda ridiculous? I've made almost twice as many comics as I did last year? That's pretty cool. (It's still not a lot, but it's a step in the right direction!)

And I'm just... Frankly, I'm content. I'm content with myself at the moment.
It's not always I can say that truthfully.

*huff*
*raises a hand in salute*

I'll be seeing you dorks on the other side!
Have a great new year.
Here's expecting the next 12 months to be slightly better than the low bar of the last 12! *pfft*
Ah we're probably jinxing ourselves...
Well. We'll give it a good go, anyway! >:)

Death and a Snake

If I could think of anything witty or nonsensical to say, I would. As it is, I'm still feeling like I've got too much going on in my head to bother with such things. Plus, I wish to get this over with so I can go and read something.

Also my brain is still being annoying, so we'll have to settle with a sketchy post instead of what I was originally hoping for tonight. But that's fine; pretty sure none of us care that much anyway. Plus, it's OverKill related! :)

Mortality is pretty fun to draw. Hard, but fun. I like drawing old patchy sweaters and big round glasses...
Definitely contrasts to Dr. Antidote's more formal appearance, anyway.

Also weird colourful eyes.

*Hmmm*

Yup. Guess it's just one of those days again.
I'll be catching you guys later! Gonna just quit for the day and try to relax.
*waves*

Hope you all have a nice week! <3

The Personification of the Will to Live and an Old Retired Detective

Hhmmkay just type out words to form a sentence, comeonyoucandoit, it's not rocket science..
Wordswordswords...

Introduction.
Introduction...

*slams sketch onto table and takes a step back*

.....

 Head filled with cotton. Too much traffic going through my fuzzy brain...

Enjoy a ridiculously tall grumpy being of pure spite with his favorite human companion.

*huffs out*

Making Better Life Choices is something Other People do. I shall instead Look Out of the Window with my Murderous Pokemon and Plot how Best to Ruin the Entire Ocean.

 Ah, December. Season of heat waves, mangoes, and ginger bread cookies. Of staying up late playing video games, reading or chatting until the wee hours of the morning. And chocolate.

As well as kicking back in my favorite chair so I can work harder and longer for days on end, because the School Routine has been dismissed until January. There is still an outside structure dictating when I must stop, but that is necessary, because otherwise I doubt I would stop. If only out of principle.
And my principles demand to be heeded.

But anyway. I didn't post last week because a) didn't have any prepared, b) I was on a brief seaside holiday and had no internet, and c) didn't have the emotional energy to care.

But I'm here this week. And it's something fanart (and fanfiction) related!

This picture is based on a fic me and my elder sister have been working on since last year. We've just gotten to the point where the main antagonist(?)  is properly introduced, as well as her Beheeyem.  

Beheeyem would have to be one of my favorite Psychic type Pokemon ever. Hypno is a close second, but it's not nearly as fun to draw. And the Gothitelle line is fun to use in game (especially if I get a male Gothita), but trench coats trump ribbons any day. Also cool flashing finger lights.

Dark types are more my flavor, but I can respect Psychic types for what they are.

Heh. I think I also spent more time on the background then I did on the characters. WELL.. okay, maybe 50/50. Drawing someone from behind is never easy, and the amount of good references you need in order to be confident to even START drawing deserves it's own little time table, but I'm digressing.
Rain is a pain. Especially moody rain with lightning. But I think it turned out cool, so I'll say no more on the subject.

Hm. Well, I've had enough of this. I wish to do something else now.
*Salutes myself out* Have a good one, folks!
