6 panel inked comic of the girl rolling over and spotting a person dead in a pool of blood on the edge of the circle who looks suspiciously similar to herself. she stands up and walks over to the dead person and as she's looking at them we can see that she has cat-like eyes and then she kicks the dead person rolling them over

experimenting with paneling

got tired of every character I draw without reference looking like asuka so I'm going to keep trying to branch out with studies and start filling in the gaps in my knowledge that put so much bias into my work

4 gesture drawing 30 second sketches

4 more 30 second sketches, one pose has a person with crossed swords

4 60 second gesture drawing sketches, one has two people so I gave myself 2 minutes for it

4 two minute gesture drawing sketches

having a lot of fun with gesture drawing
I might even consider modeling for a pack one day
marked as sensitive just because I tried to draw the genitals on one of them

4 simple pencil sketches of people in various poses that try to capture the line of action

trying to practice gesture drawing and 60s sketches are really fun

"fragments and feelings"

#art #AcrylicPainting #StainedGlass

just learned gouache exists and it looks so cool TwT
awa I wish I could just go buy everything I would need to start but like its probably expensive and learning a new medium takes time

a foggy green painting of a protestor being strangled by a riot police officer with several other officers fading into the distance

"green smoke"

not really sure how they saw a heart in it but that's not too far off from the vibe I guess
I'd always love to know what folks think because one can never see their own work with fresh eyes

RE: https://wetdry.world/@ivy_gay/115376581379670160

showed this to a couple friends and I had originally thought it read very clearly but they didn't actually interpret it as I had originally planned
one thought it was a heart and the other felt it was pretty abstract uncomfortable

picture of my previous sketch of ayre transferred onto canvas with the original sketch in behind its far from perfect but its usable

first time not sketching directly on canvas but actually trying to use transfer paper to move it from my sketchbook
I just coated a piece of paper with a pencil so it didn't work very well and I had to touch it up a lot but it worked out alright I think

sketch of what I picture ayre from armored core 6 looking like she has a hand outstretched to the viewer and is wearing a suit that has the face of her mech on the chest she has long hair that drifts in all directions and the little ear things from her mech on her head

"raven, our shared potential... its not too late"
