Hi! Just a beginning digital artist thingymabob passing through!

I've been a silent member of the CC community, and I didn't know how to involve myself in it until recently.
Lately however I started doing some pixel art, I'm still amateur-ish so be as harsh as you want!

Here!

swords swords swords swords swords I <3 swords

when ever i see swords i think of bleach

ENGAGING OPERATION ladylike MORE ATTENTION

So hi guise, i've made a bunch of doodles since i last posted here. I shall be......... CATEGORIZING the stuff, because why not? :v

a shitload of doodles


a very long and dumb thing about art


painty things


AND THERE WE GO CHAPS. I've spared you some doodles that are entirely insignificant, so consider yourselves lucky. :U
Also, if you look really closely, you'll notice that i tried making a signature on two of these things. I need me a fast scribble of a signature so i don't have to meticulously write my entire name every time.

Your muse? I didn't know there was a muse involved.

Not so much an actual muse as a reason to justify my arting habits to myself. A combination of my own weirdness and a talking fish-hat (who is prone to violence when not acting as a hat) seems to explain everything that needs explaining. :U (it might also make a little bit more sense when you realize that i use a different avatar on every other site)

shameless repost it is art after all..


image tag isn't working wonderful.

Those are pretty cool, actually. You planning to make those as mods?

also in other news i painted a fish

spoiler because SIIIIIIIIIIIZE

I am actually pretty happy with this. I forgot lines on the lower fins, but eh, the eyebrows draw all your attention anyways. :U (also it is appropriately titled "horsing around")

Yes i'm trying to but if i'm being honest its not going to well as i haven't done spriting for a very long time and then of coruse i wasn't really that good at it, so if you've got nothing to do your welcome to jump in and sprite it because the conventionally the bulk of the script has already been written by someone else.

I am actually getting super jealous of your developing art skills, Shook. Everything you make has so much character and even your technical side is improving pretty steadily.

The only thing I notice about that fish is that the side and tail fins look like they're perpendicular to the eye, otherwise it's super cool

I see what you mean, those particular fins are ♥♥♥♥ annoying to try to give proper perspective. Thanks very much! c:


Oh man, all these feels. :I
But bro, i am not somebody to be jealous of, i learn artings ridiculously slowly because of my dumb and stubborn approach of refusing to take references and what have you. I am also pretty much useless outside of drawing fish, dinosaurs and cartoony faces. Realism is a concept that eludes me time and time again, although fortunately i actually prefer drawing in a cartoony style over realism. Still though, it wouldn't hurt to be ABLE to draw in a realistic manner, as opposed to the clay-like mutant figures that tend to emerge when i try to do that.

But, far be it from me to dismiss compliments.

You have no idea how glad i am to hear that. <3
Character and expression are the alpha and omega for me when it comes to art, and it is super nice to know that i am somewhat succeeding at it. Technicalities are of course nice as well, but a technically perfect drawing without character and/or expression probably isn't going to appeal to me all that much. As an example of one of my favourite art styles on deviantART, there's this thing by IsisMasshiro. Incredibly expressive overall, and an impressive technical skill to top it off. I WISH i could get anywhere near that level of ART POWER, but alas, i must power on with what i have at the moment. I remain confident, however, that if i just keep going and have fun, improvement will come all by itself. :v

and that was much more CHOO CHOO FEEL TRAIN than i had originally planned but oh well

being tired does that to me

:v

Shook, you're very deserving of the acclaim you get. The characters you can perfectly convey their expressions and you've got a good sense of humor to boot. Keep it up!

I drew James Randi

Fantastic work Emo! That must've taken a good deal of time :p

Contribooting, here are two studies and a mech sketch I did a while ago

I really like that train one, the colors really pop. I love the reflections on the rails.
