HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This year, Iโ€™m going to try to post my art at least once a month and interact more with other artists. Iโ€™ve often felt like my art isnโ€™t good enough to post, but Iโ€™m going to try to let go of that this year. January art post coming soon!

a screenshot of text from a website. it reads: 

The History of the January 1 Birthday
The tradition dates back to the early days of organized horse racing, long before electronic timing and online records. Race organizers needed a simple way to group horses by age since a horseโ€™s age often determines what races they can enter. Instead of tracking every horseโ€™s exact birth date (which would have been a logistical nightmare), they decided that all thoroughbreds would share one official birthday: January 1.

A cloak design I drew for my Shakespeare English class. Made for King Oberon in A Midsummer Nightโ€™s Dream and based on things I found outside.

Havenโ€™t been drawing much because school is killing me so have something I drew for my Shakespeare class. Might make a full Oberon design eventually.

Ignore the fact that the last wip I posted is not finished. I changed his design and lore so it will be a while before I come back to it. Anyway I just saw Devin Lewis as JD in Heathers and I NEEDED to draw it so have the wip

Not an art post but I just found out I got a 5 (highest score) on my AP Art History test! That class was such a struggle but Iโ€™m so proud of myself. Congratulations to anyone else who did well on their APs! Yโ€™all deserve it.

Yโ€™all I was drawing my friend @chromechaaa (follow her on insta sheโ€™s amazing) as a Pokรฉmon gym leader/e4 member and the pose progression from the first sketch to the most recent is crazy. Itโ€™s not perfect, but Iโ€™m proud of myself for improving it so much

Cropped for a better thumbnail. Vilmos being awkward with a painted sun behind him.

Vilmos and the people of his world are of tarot card-inspired subspecies, but a lucky 22 have the power of major arcana cards. Vil isโ€ฆ awkward and confused for now, but heโ€™ll meet someone soon who can help, so look out for the next one!

Original design of Vilmos. Portrait done with a multicolored pencil and a glitter pen. Face was boxier and I wasnโ€™t thinking too hard about lore โ€” just doodling.

Second design of Vilmos. Thought this was going to be the final so I added more to the sheet like colors, the arm details, and another expression. Then I came up with the idea of the magic ink in his missing eye spreading to create full body tattoos eventually and had to change it. I also fleshed out his species a little more and thus had to change the ear shape and coloring.

Third and final-ish design of Vilmos. Hair is pointy for style points, and the purple streak only appears once he gets to a more urban area in my world.

Final-ish design of Vilmos without the hair so you can see the eye.

Evolution of Vilmos! Really liked the second design, but the lore changed so he had to as well :(

Bonus buzz cut so yโ€™all can see the other eye.

Figured out how to quickly make OCs using friends withโ€ฆ interesting results. Let me know if yโ€™all want the method and who you want to see more of! Might make a series with the winners, or at least clean up their designs.

Havenโ€™t posted in a hot minute because school is school, but I made an alternate cover for โ€œA Streetcar Named Desireโ€ for an English project (complete with new title because my English teacher said we had to make one). What do yโ€™all think?

Second Quickdraw NPC! His name is Johnathanโ€”affectionately nicknamed โ€œCrop Johnโ€ because he accidentally blew off the bottom of his jacketโ€”and he works for Solon as part of Team Phoenix. Dramatic and normal versions below! (please pretend I understand lighting)

First NPC from my TTRPG system Quickdraw (working title)! Her name is Solon Holt, and sheโ€™s the leader of Team Phoenix, a pyromaniac gang on the planet Hrethin. Sheโ€™s trying really hard to seem tough and mafia boss-esque, but sheโ€™s really just an explosives nerd.
