The same ceramic sphinx in the last post now digitally illustrated. In the top panel it sits with a giant grin, speaking. The text reads "A man in a car saw a golden door, a silver door, and a bronze door. Which door did he open first? The car door!" Bottom left it goes flying through the air, mouth open in a snarl. The text reads "Riddle failed! (Mind you they are the size of a kitten, don't worry about it). Bottom right shows them curled up on their back, blissfully relaxed, eyes closed for a nap. The text reads "Two minutes later". Scattered throughout the illusration are three small, simple doodles, looking up in wonder at a flowering plant, on its back, legs sticking straight up with a frustrated expression, and the last one; tail high with a happy smile.

I've been so tickled after making the ceramic sphinx in my last post that I couldn't help but draw them for some fun this weekend :)

Multiple angles of a ceramic sculpture of a tiny sphinx against a white background, only a bit over an inch or 2.5 centimeters long. They're standing, head slightly raised. It has a silly, happy expression. Its brown body is densely packed with black stripes, contrasted by white wings, white tummy, and a white star on the nape of its neck.

a tiny sphinx with equally tiny riddles (sold)! #ceramics

Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a good one! 💕

Part of the influence to these sketch practices

So real! Once you try any other color, it's so hard to go back to white.

Cream-colored paper rules extra hard for printmaking and watercolors.

Sometimes I struggle with transferring the charm of my digital art to traditional work, but one small detail that helps is using cream paper. I just love how it makes things, especially colors, feel softer.

(Note: I do not purposefully try to make it any of those descriptors)

Having fellow art students describe my sketchbook as "pleasing, organized and scientific" is incredibly sweet.

The one thing I wasn't expecting when returning to school was the amount of compliments regarding my sketchbook I would get.

As someone who doesn't like change, having to trust the process doubly sucks in this instance.

I'm growing my hair out and having to trust the process suuuucks.

UPDATE: Benji is REALLY close to their goal now!

I really am thankful to all of the folks who have boosted and donated to them. I really do thank you for helping my friend stay safe during such a difficult time. Really hoping they can meet their goal this month!!

The character I'm referring to was originally meant to play a minor part in Dopp's story, but as I continue to work on her I've become obsessed.

I'm sssooo normal about Didi and Di. And Raichu in her work outfit. I can be trusted to act calm and collected around them.

(but fr LOVE these designs!!)

This post brought to you by me conjuring a woman for Dopp's story that reminds me slightly of the Antlered Woman.

Doppel has a track record of liking women who are more mulish than her. The problem would be that Antlered Woman wouldn't fuck with Dopp's meekness; she prefers someone who'd push back against her bullshit.

Someone once said that they shipped Doppel with the Antlered Woman and like... I kinda get it.

The Tower is the second album from German black metal / dungeon synth artist Knights of Rain.

Each song can be succinctly described as 'echoing keys against a thin layer of noise', which lends well to the album's themes.

You have such a good sense for character design!! They're always super creative and well thought out!

I don't want my only feedback to be "wowowowow" but that's exactly what I'm feeling here

I've come to prefer talking to people in-person rather than online. It used to be the opposite, but the latter has come to stress the fuck out of me way more.

🎉 It sounds like it's happening! 🎉
