Had this the other day where I tried doing some ribcage drawing practice and decided to post this.

I'm not really a good fan of drawing something that required circular shapes, but I guess if you want to improve, you got to get out of your comfort zone every once in a while.

I'll try following this up with more anatomy content, but for now, I gotta work on finishing the 15-day draws.

Alright guys, so I just wanted to let you know that I am ALMOST finished with the submission for madness day 2024. It took WAY MORE time than expected due to nagging things such as procrastination, personal things, and high school to top it off. (Ain't that a bitch...)

The good news is that it will be my greatest piece to date ever since I started at Newgrounds, mainly because it's a sort of a love letter for all the childhood memories the site gave me. :3 The bad news, however, is that there's a lot of things I have to add before submission. Mainly the terrain decorations and bodies and such. :P I also practically rushed with a few things so it may not look as good, but it is what it is. Luckily, I can try to crunch through it all for, perhaps the entirety of Saturday tomorrow.

Looking forward to the art submission and madness day 2024 with y'all soon! :D

Yeah, title says it all. I heard Madness Day is coming around the 22nd, so to prepare for that, I'll be planning to make a fanart piece in advance! This gives me at least 20 days (two more weeks) in the time I'm currently writing this, so I have enough time to practice, experiment, and draw in creative passion and love for the show! And hey, if I'm lucky and/or diligent enough, it could be an animated gif rather than a single painting!

It'll probably be based off of the final scene of MC 11: Expurgation which looks like this basically:

I really don't know why, but this scene in particular feels very powerful. Probably cuz of the banger music in the background, idk lol.

It's also quite appropriate to make considering the fact that Krinkles said himself that he'll probably upload MC 12 after madness day 2024! :D

TL; DR: Making fanart (animated gif) for Madness Day 2024. Gonna be based off of the final scene of MC 11. Experimenting with brushes. Doing this since MC 12 releases after Madness Day 2024, lol.

Alright so I practically finished the lineart as well as the colors for the ULTRAKILL piece. Now all I need to do is finish the shading which I am currently doing right now. Take a look:

I'm doing a bit of experimental shading this time for this piece which will come in three phases: the Dark Phase, the Light Phase, and the "whatever" Phase. As you can see, the first phase (dark phase) has been mostly completed. Now all that I need to do is fix a few errors with the dark phase and then finish the light and "whatever" phases to post mah masterpieces!

..oh and also color the flags and maybe figure out a few alts?.. idk

1) Ayy I'm back! :D/ Where I've been

Alright, I just got back from my break and now currently enduring the grueling agony that is the 7 hour fiasco that is high school! Even though I do fear that it will bring my creative passions a bit back, thus rendering me unable to make an art piece per month, I still won't give up trying to improve my strengths on drawing.

So far, the pen tablet mastering is going so good so far. I do need a bit of more practice with line art but Ill try to practice more as well as experimenting with different alternative brushes for line art. I've also decided to start learning how to use a video editor for some special effects™.

2) New potential ultrakill fanart piece

Also, starting from last Saturday, I was tinkering on what will be my very first ULTRAKILL fanart piece (See my blog post "Rambling Time #1" for callback) Here it is at it's current stage:

So far, the sketching phase is almost complete, for I just need to finish the Gutterman's (At the left) arm. After that will be the line art phase (wish me luck ;-;) and after THAT will be the coloring. I was thinking of maybe doing shading that's a bit more complex than my regular cel shading. It probably won't be soft shading, per se, but hey, who knows? Let's just see how it lays out!

I don't know how long all of this might take, but if I had to take a guess, I would probably expect it to be published around the weekend.

3) possible animation projects, and twitter and youtube, idk

Also thinking about going into animation for that matter and uploading them to Newgrounds. I did try on making some, but its quite bad looking back at it. Might try using all that I can learn about video editors, while I'm at it, for some special effects™.

Perhaps starting my twitter/youtube career later on..? Idrk at this point.

Aight, that's pretty much enough rambling for today. Goodbye, take care, and stay healthy™.

Alright, so I feel like I don't have enough working on art pieces for a while, so I'll be taking a break for a little while so I can get back to working art more energized from now!

I also got a new pen tablet for drawing, so I'll take some time during the break in order to get used to it.

A little sketch thing i did trying the new pen tablet out:

Alright! I've finally done it! Here it is the second page of the fan comic after a long time! :D

To be honest, though, I'm not proud on how this came out. The dialogue, the shading, the line-art that took WAY MORE longer than expected really doesn't vibe with me all of a sudden. It was the tiring line-art that caused me to rush a bit with the production of the page.

I'll probably take this newfound time to try to practice and improve on my line-art and shading techniques (this DOESN'T mean I'm cancelling the fan-comic indefinitely, I'll still work on the comic, it'll just take longer to post pages).

oh, and also I have a twitter now! hopefully I'll post art there aside from newgrounds. :P

Alright, I'm pleased to announce that I have officially completed the entire drawing of the second page of the TADC fan comic! Now all I just need to do is add the dialogue/text for the comic!

Expect it to be released this Sunday afternoon! :D

WE'RE GETTING OUT OF ART BLOCK WITH THIS ONE!! :D

THANK... GOODNESS. FINALLY!

After more than a frickin' month of constant re-draws, hyper fixation problems, and personal life stuff here and there, I have FINALLY finished the whole line art of the second page of the TADC comic.

Now it's onto coloring, effects, and text addition. Hopefully, it'll take way less time completing since it's more of my favorite thing when it comes to drawing art pieces and all that jazz. :P

Here's a sample of the page in general since the line art's finished:

..This should not have taken more than a month to complete a single page. :(

(UPDATE: I figured out that as long as I am careful with how I use the pen there won't be any problems for art production. The art hiatus has been lifted! :D)

The pen of my drawing tablet got busted, and I'll probably be busted after sometime, so I don't think I'll post art here for awhile. In the meantime, however, I'll see if I can fix it or try finding an alternative tablet online.

Tis' a scary time, indeed.
