Sorry for not being around to at least get something out and drawn for the Halloween holiday. I actually had a couple things drafted a while ago to go with the holiday, but I know I’ve already done missed the deadline.

Better to get those done late than never at all, right? (That’s been a tradition with me, too.)

Befitting with the spooky month by sheer coincidence, these past few weeks have reduced me to an utter wreck, from already having to deal with an impersonator (them being on a platform I myself no longer associate with, ever since August of this year) to generally being concerned about my own personal safety.

As such, I’m taking a bit of a break from these platforms to clear my head; taking a hiatus, basically.

It’s technically been around a week (more or less) in, and I’m already feeling somewhat better. I’ve been able to strictly focus on my Graphic Design degree a lot more (which is saying a ton, since full-time art college is no joke), and in a sense, this hiatus is prepping me more for real life out in the world.

This is just another update post to let you all know I’m doing fine, and am learning to live without many of the stresses of social media. I’ll be moving on from all of this eventually.

Happy Halloween!

And best wishes to you all,

— B-RY-N

If it ain't obvious, I've made it somewhat clear I'd never come back to DeviantART. Ever.

To no surprise, I'm being impersonated behind my back.

From what I could find, some rando is stealing my identity, using a very old name I never use at all anymore.

From first impressions, you might think it's just a low-quality archive page, but digging deeper, it gets worse from there. Not only are they acting very immaturely (they're of the "logo-remaking" kind, a community I've left FOREVER ago, thank christ), but are verbally threatening people (one of their comments was a death threat, something I never wish upon anybody).

Since I kept my "no more dA" promise, I'm without many ways to report them, so I leave it you all to bring justice and take this account down. If that's not possible, please spread the word on there to anyone oblivious.

Wish you all luck, – B-RY-N

made another weegee head drawing. done during art therapy.

using an image search worth of references, this took me (i think) around 15-20 minutes.

For the few people that cared about my TwentyPuff AU, I'm retiring it effective immediately.

It's already been mostly inactive (only 2–3 doodles for it in 2023; no one to blame but myself), so there's no point in me going back and forth between it being semi-active or inactive if I don't actively care to continue it anytime sooner or later.

Another factor as to why I gave up on it was its predominant design influence now leaving a very bitter taste in my mouth, the influencer of which (teacup) I have since cut all connection from, of my own free will. Her very-controversial AkuBloss ship and, more recently, her shamelessly advertising her 18+ alt (you can guess what AU of hers is in that without me mentioning it), have simultaneously haunted my daily conscience long enough. NO MORE OF IT!!!

It's yet another one of those things I blame my ignorant teenage-self on for stumbling upon that rabbit-hole to begin with. I'm in my twenties now. Things are gonna change for the better around here.

From here on out, it's pretty much gonna be how it already was for the past several months: drawing stuff in only the original PPG timeline. I've been having a lot more fun drawing normal Powerpuff stuff anyway. Hell, I've honestly surprised myself with my "Western Blossom" piece from this very year.

Hope I've explained enough, and I'll see y'all again whenever I can devote more time to art. — B-RY-N

did more of that ppg intro reanimation stuff, a personal project i had started around a year ago (more or less).

the last i did of this project is in this very sentence.

had this specific part left in dormancy (and/or development hell) for over six months. the poses for bubbles and buttercup were a pain to get right.

i plan to make more out of this specific scene, whether it be the outro variant or any episode-specific endcards. stay tuned for those.

two pibby doodles i made from all the way back in 2021, under an old moniker no less. both doodles went in very polarizing tonal directions by complete happenstance.

i'd redraw them (or at least the first one) if i could afford the time and motivation to.

[bryn-art-bin]

a traditional art piece of kirby i made during an art therapy session.

i felt like i went a little overboard on the backdrop colors once i got to that point.

[bryn-art-bin]

(all pictures succeeding the first one are their raw picture scans, which is to say they were before i made refinements in photopea during compiling.)

just a collection of small paper doodles i did for a graphic design college assignment. (yes, drawing is lumped in with the graphic design degree. it spans every facet, i guess.)

they didn't specify what types of things to draw, so i kinda went to town with the concept variety.

coming from someone who doesn't draw on paper often anymore, i kinda surprised myself with these.

Originally something I drafted over a year ago, and then scrapped for the past six months, this idea sort of just happened and circled around my head for a while that I titled "Nick-itis."

Simply just an ad parody (or another general PPG doodle idea if that doesn't necessarily fit the bill) where two of them exhibit one of their Nickelodeon roles.

Given I couldn't find a substantial amount of Nick roles to pick from Blossom's actress (Cathy Cavadini), she's the one who finds out about the accident (would've been in the lab) that made the orange goop go rogue.

Figured I'd finally draw a Scott Pilgrim character, given I actively got engrossed in the series recently.

I had read "Seconds" before, so it only seemed fair that the future would lead me to Scott one way or another.

I actually got a view of the anime's poster on a Universal studio wall during my one-week trip to California. I could never get a clear picture of it, though. Tour buses be on the move a lot.

it's about time i did this. i've killed off my deviantart account for the sake of my own well-being.

it's a new era for me. let's hope it goes smoothly.

i was just sitting with the drawing of deborah's head one day, and went...

"eff it, apocalypse version. sure."

and now we're here.

Powerpuff Girls in Real Life... where even criminals feel insecure to the point where a good hug is all they need... before the prison sentence.

Yeah, that last part's still a Powerpuff guarantee.

Did another parody re-draw for funs, having been well over a year since the last ones I did on the trio.

(Yes, this includes that YTP joke doodle.)

Parody source: Cartoons in Real Life (one minute, 52 seconds in)

Smosh ain't particularly my thing, but this is one of the very few videos that stuck with me.

for the last of my archiving whatever as of right now, here's all the fonts i've made throughout these past several years (starting from 2018), half of which look very tacky and are nothing more than logo-specific modifications of pre-existing fonts.

i left out CTW Busorama for the sake of the logo vector already being out there and i imagine people will just use normal Busorama anyways. they don't need my semi-scuffed edit of it to just match one logo... but then again, a few of these are kinda that anyway.

download for them is now being hosted under MediaFire.

some stuff i drew during art therapy.

for colors, i used oil pastel (which would explain why some of it is outside the lines) and colored pencils. the CN logo, though, was strictly colored pencil.

it ain’t terrible, but it turned out a lot better than i thought it would, especially since i haven't committed to several pencil-and-paper doodles in a long while.

UPDATE JUL. 23, 2024: added said day's Mandy doodle. again, it would've looked better if i wasn't under one-hour-per-appointment crunch time.

[bryn-art-bin]

several other drawings i still kinda like that personally didn't fit the bill with all my other "pre-dA-deactivation archiving" posts.

the first two pictures were actually for a bubsy reanimation collab (hold your mockery) that never ended up getting done. it would've been my excuse to try and experiment with animation more.

last image (titled "deborah v plastic") was a collab with block_618.

Long time, no see! Still the same Bella you know and love, but I'm sporting the ol' ponytail again, baby!

Unlike that lackey a' mine you know me for, I'm not afraid to live on the edge. I'll take the sky on in a pinch. Don't need to worry about injuries. I'm only a cartoon manifest after all.

Got my bread packs to snack on while I'm in the air, but a bona-fide risk-taker's gotta balance between thrills and distractions.

Catch ya on the flip-side!
