Tigrin

The part that really sucks about ramping up on yet another preventative med for migraines is having all the debilitating side effects of the med AND a migraine. At this point I've had a migraine almost every day for two months? Three months? Nothing works.

There's going to be officially licensed costumes at Spirit Halloween, apparently. www.spirithalloween.com/category/kpo...

I remember this film inspiring me a lot when I was young and hoping to be an animator one day. 😊

If you're going to a major city, most signs have English, and most restaurants either have an English menu or pictures on the menu. Pointing and gesturing can get you pretty far. Odd note, bring a handkerchief. Some restrooms and restaurants don't have napkins or paper towels.

Star Trek, my dad watched it all the time when I was a kid and I thought it was the most boring thing. Later on we watched Stargate SG-1 together, those are nice memories for me. Funny enough, my daughter is really into The Octonauts, which is like Star Trek in the sea for kids.

Crossover Kingdom Hearts/Silent Hill creature

I also have some old art for it here: www.deviantart.com/tigrin/galle...

I'm always happy to talk about it, haha. It's up on Fanfiction and also on AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/125482... I'm a big fan of Kingdom Hearts and Silent Hill so I had fun imagining how elements of each might work together.

Oh, this is a poster I made for a fanfiction I wrote back in 2009 crossing over Kingdom Hearts 2 with Silent Hill, haha. It was popular enough it even has its own TV Tropes page which I think is pretty funny. I took it very seriously

A fake movie poster of Sora, Donald, and Goofy splattered with blood, flanked by two figures facing away from the camera. There are five Pyramid Head monsters above them. Text at the bottom says The Open Door with a blue sigil behind it.

Some Tigrins and a maneki neko drawn on the back of a school schedule, with some John Mayer lyrics ("My Stupid Mouth")

Tigrin with some flowers, marker and colored pencil

Tigrin with a previous version of himself with some Hoobastank lyrics ("Better")

Marker drawing of the name Tigrin heavily embellished similar to illuminated manuscripts

Here's some more Tigrins from the #sketchbooks pile.

A drawing of a cat wearing a witch hat sitting flanked by two pumpkins. The end of the witch hat is a vague blob, the cat's left rear foot looks oddly broken, and the cat's right rear foot appears to be a tail.

Highly detailed linework of a cat. The linework is vague in spots with stray lines, and there's a marking in the lower right that looks like a signature but is illegible. This is typical of AI art that has been trained on art with signatures.

We bought this "Cat Coloring" book for my daughter, but some of the artwork is kind of suspicious, looks potentially AI-generated. Disappointing to have to worry about this.

I had a dream this morning I started taking commissions again... this seems crazy considering I won't even draw for myself, but I've always found it easier when someone is telling me what to draw rather than just drawing whatever I want. 😩

Can I find a babysitter for both days is the only question let's fucking GO

This kind of haunts me to this day where I still feel reluctant to look up reference or even shoot my own reference photos or videos because it feels like "cheating" even though this is absurd.

My relationship with learning to draw and referencing is complicated. My early experiences on the Internet taught me that referencing = bad, and I was too young to understand the subtleties of it (that claiming others' work as your own is what's bad, not referencing)

Some anatomy drawings of backsides/legs

Some anatomy drawings of hands and arms, probably referenced, and a sketch of Tala Wolf with some bleeding cuts and Incubus lyrics

Some life drawing and a random Stitch

Probably referenced anatomy drawings of arms

While scanning my old #sketchbooks I've encountered a number of places where pages were torn out and it seems like in some cases those were places I had done some referenced anatomy drawings or life drawings that I later ripped out so no one would see them.

Haha, I'm just glad someone enjoys seeing them! They really are ancient, one of my cats was camped out nearby while I was scanning last night and he kept violently sneezing.

Sketch for a card I drew to send to victims of the Tohoku earthquake back in 2011

A china marker drawing of my character Nothing in full skeletal form

Mechanical pencil drawings of Simba, looks like maybe circa 2001/2002

Some sketches of a lion character and Pokemon from probably around 2001... I am impressed I apparently memorized the URL for my TLKFAA archive?

this batch is truly random

Some gesture drawings of furrecats

A ballpoint pen drawing of Silence next to some lyrics/random emo nonsense, and some misc. furrecat drawings and smudges of pen

Some lion cub characters, some sketches of Jim Hawkins and his father Leland... I have no idea what that is on the right side

Some miscellaneous scribbles, including some Tai wolves, and what looks like Lyle fronting for Shekina at the bottom

A random assortment mostly of furrecat drawings. It's always interesting to me to see sketches I recognize and then see what I drew around it

Tigrin and Edoras for St. Patrick's Day

Tigrin wearing a helmet

Tigrin and a random sketch from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac or something. I beg to differ with that "my worst drawing ever" note, I've done many worse

a very cute looking Tigrin from probably around 2002

Going to start a thread 🧵 for loose leaf sketches for the #sketchbooks project... here are some random Tigrins from various years from the pile

Some colored pencil drawings on cardboard of Invader Zim, Gir holding a Pocky stick, and Tigrin

Some ballpoint pen sketches on the back of a cardboard paint palette - A couple drawings of Tigrin with wings, Tigrin with his girlfriend Leucadia, a friend as a lion, a friend's dragon character, Ed from Cowboy Bebop, a phoenix, Stitch, and Jim from Treasure Planet - along with a bevy of song lyrics and quotes from films (Treasure Planet, The Time Machine) and poetry

Ballpoint pen sketches on the back of a disposable paint palette - Stitch, Angel, Tigrin, Pikachu, some miscellaneous characters

I often drew on the back of my #sketchbooks and disposable paint palettes, I'm sure I have more but here are a few.

Some sketches of Shekina, and a horse? on notes about Sylvia Plath

Some sketches of Tigrin on notes about William E. Barrett

Some sketches of Tai on some notes from my Economics class (eyeball the notes about tariffs at the bottom... cough)

Some random sketches of my fursona, Pikachu, and Nny on.. what I'm guessing are Economics class notes. I think I should have paid more attention here.

It's taking me a while to get through my boxes of loose drawings for my #sketchbooks project because I saved every scrap of paper I doodled on, so I am going backwards through time scanning stacks of school notes that I scribbled in the margins. I think these are all from Senior year.

Glad you like it! 💖 The round shapes are definitely very squishy

I had trouble drawing the middle toe which is why I think I gave everything three bulbous toes 😅 later I was just like "Oh yeah my furrecat species only has three toes in the front it's just a thing"

what's with the apple thing?

Absolutely begging Google Docs to add a "remember where I left off" feature... my novel is over 300 pages long, even with headings for each chapter I am just endlessly scrolling through thousands of words of text every single time I revisit the doc, it is getting old

This is most definitely how I'd choose to go out
