Fanart On Fanfic - First Time Ever.

Self promotion is the key...

I have started on the art, ages ago in fact, and then started writing the story.

The story has been finished now, and I just give up on the art.

If anyone is curious and haven't seen it yet, it leaves here.

Mind it is a smutty funfic and it has all the things you expect to find in the creation of this sorts.

So.. I have done a new art of really old character Ying the Red Crow. Last time I draw her was in 2016 years ago and she looked like this

Someone else might be drawing her right now *blush* and I realise she might be due some redesign. That what I done with arguable success.

Thing is I like a lot of details, but I HATE the overall outcome. Guess it is still done.

Still counts towards the new year resolution goal of 50 total art.

Funny thing, content of the book was kindly provided by my 6 years old daughter. She said: "Write there I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH and then cross everything as she is a witch and loves no one". And this weirdly strike a point, as the last time I touched the character she was recovering after her beloved one died.

Will attempt to maintain resemblance of activity. As you may noticed my account was dead for 7 years ---Tumblr notified me with 7 years anniversary LOL ----

However it is damn difficult to post regularly. Will try to stick to every Sunday schedule. Maybe more often, if this is actually becomes the place "where the light lives" :)

Posting a little work in progress. I normally don't do redraws, as my ego is too fragile. However I was browsing old scetchbook and found this... And it just felt like so much waisted potential, that I new I need to redraw it.

Moving it from traditional to digital. This is WIP that hopefully will be finished somewhere next week. Surprisingly, I feel like my skill have improved some how. So few character redesigns in plan after that.

I have to develop a habbitica of posting pictures here as well. - I think I like you to serious face even more than sweets!

Second day, second page. Because it’s weekend I had time to do something finished.

I need to do that now!!!!!

The best things to draw are great fights and good kisses. Here’s a kiss challenge for anybody with OC’s! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

What I can say….. the best present ever!!!!

We had a Valentine's themed art trade event over at the Forge of Wonders where I got to challenge my art skills by sending two characters on an outing!

Here's my take on a date between @annacory-blog's Twilight Caste Solar, Gale, and my Koh, the hotshot gunslinging male persona of my Eclipse Caste, Kalara.

Anna told me for a date, Gale would love a mischievous evening or reading quietly, so I thought "Why not both?" and sent them on a date to break into a dynast's heretical Scarlet Empress library for a picnic.

Meanwhile, Koh's bodyguard, Night Locust, watches on, despite being told to stay at home. He's glad the boss is having fun, but is secondhand embarrassed at the boss reading lines from "Scarlet Empress Unbound" a purportedly true account of the Empress' secret sexy adventures. 😆

Painted in Procreate with final touches in Photoshop. ---- Enjoy some detail shots of the heretical library:

And finally, a video so you can see how much of a disaster this image was at the start before I was able to salvage it.

@toxinfox Happy calibration!!! One more of your characters!!!! I love them all deeply, and would be happy to draw more.

As a parent I can confirm!!!

It’s their greatest invention as of yet

Thank you the Forge of wanders residents, because of all you people I was able to did the art summary first time in my life.

Yes some months were bare, like in December I had one art and one art only, but I did have it… no blanks

Last year resolutions were:

Total number of pieces: 50/55 (57 if to count two days of training sketching)

Pieces with multiple characters: 12/15 (have to admit at least third part is with animal as a second character, but I believe it counts if the animal is as big as a human, or as important.

Hope I can do the same next year
