I keep forgetting I have a tumblr?? Here take this. Spot the reference, it's not subtle.

Ice cream break!! Never a day goes by where I am not thinking about that ice cream freezer you can find in the Resident Evil 2 Remake advertising Herb Ice Cream: Herbs Heal You.

Oh right I like, have a blog here, and can post. This is a deeply lazy sketch but I feel like you'll all appreciate it anyway.

[quantumvaudeville]

Yeah!! Thanks so much for commissioning me, you were a pleasure to work with and this was a blast to do!

An outfit reference for Vasilka's adventuring gear that I commissioned from @quantumvaudeville, thank you so much for your wonderful work! I wanted to give her the look of a ball-jointed doll with an outfit inspired by Gothic Lolita fashion - something soft, romantic, and demure. It's probably not the best-suited for hard travel, but she looks cute, right? The hooded cloak is a nod to the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood, from which I drew a great deal of inspiration for her character, as she is the textbook ingenue: an innocent young woman venturing into the world for the first time, ignorant of the many dangers lying in wait outside the protective walls of Kresk. Her clothes are an assortment of garments left by the villagers for her to mend. Sometimes, the original owners never return to claim them, so the Abbot permits her to keep the clothing for herself. The red hood is likely one that belongs to a hunter, as the bright color stands out against the drab backdrop of the forest. It helps to prevent hunting parties from accidentally shooting one of their own. The gold floral embroidery is of her own design, which she has worked on for several months during those periods when she has no other mending work to keep herself occupied. There are a lot of little nods to various fairy tales that I've worked into her design and backstory, which I'll discuss at length another time, but Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty (or Briar Rose), and Rapunzel are the three most prominent stories that I drew from to inform her character. What sort of fate awaits her outside the Abbey's sheltering walls?

This started out as an exercise in animating hair in motion and rapidly got way out of hand.

It was a pleasure working on this one!! Thanks for giving me the freedom to get experimental, and I'm so glad you like how it turned out!!

@quantumvaudeville drew me an Alloran inspired by those medieval tapestries of unicorn hunts. Gosh!

I do so love how varied Andalite redesigns can get, and the fact that at a few points humans in the series who half-glimpse one think they could be unicorns. In the first several books the Animorphs all describe Visser Three's host body as being dainty and delicate, too.

I'm love them.

Love and appreciate Leon's city boy inability to identify a wolf when he sees one.

help me finally get top surgery

i��ve a history of homelessness, and thus my referral was delayed for literal years and then my NHS surgeon refused to even speak to me and insisted on transferring my referral to somewhere with an 18 month waiting list.

i’m not too proud to beg: i’m already 32 and i can’t spend the next half-decade waiting on the NHS to benevolently grant me surgery — not to mention that i can’t afford travel to fucking Manchester with my disabilities or my tiny income from welfare benefits.

so my only real choice is to raise the money this way, as i’m estranged from family.

please, please donate; if 200 people donated £50 each, i’d make goal and then some. this is extremely important to me, and i’ve already got a consultation with a private surgeon coming up in early August: i’d love to have the money on hand when i go.

thank you for reading. please spread the word.

£1496/£9000

Man people really liked that last thing I did, by which I mean I really liked that last thing I did, so I expanded on it a bit!! Mostly I'm just goofing off here but this was some really good practice with Shapes (cont'd) and also trying to be relatively consistent with character design from multiple angles.

You'll probably be seeing more of this from me in the future, be it more characters done up in this style or just lil' sketches. It's too fun for me to say I'm done with it any time soon.

[quantumvaudeville]

More style experiments, more Resident Evil. This time the name of the game is: Shapes!! Silhouettes!!

I really like pushing my style in more cartoony directions sometimes!! I'm not the best at it, but it's a lot of fun, and that's what matters.

[quantumvaudeville]

I'm still in that Resident Evil hole I was falling down earlier. Here's a screenshot redraw for some painting practice by which I mean portrait practice and then I got extremely lazy with the background.

[quantumvaudeville]

I still exist!! Here's a shitpost I put way too much effort into for the sake of experimenting with new coloring techniques. I've been falling down a Resident Evil hole.

[quantumvaudeville]

Decided to take some time to do a little study of the view from my window. I like painting landscapes!! I don't do it often enough.

[quantumvaudeville]

I keep forgetting I should post stuff here!! This is a recent commission I finished for a friend of his Shadowrun character. My commissions are closed right now, but if you're interested in my work feel free to check back later!!

Hey sorry but this bird woman is everything to me please accept this. I hope she's staying entertained with her many apprentices.

dwarf fortress fucks so hard. my current fort has an occasional patron who is an 86 year old owl lady named 'the frozen one' who spent the first couple of years just perching in trees and watching my dwarves. a two headed fire breathing ettin came to lay siege to the place before I had a proper military established, and while I was freaking out trying to lock doors she just. floated down and tore him in half. when I checked her inventory, all she had was a plain brown dress, socks, shoes, and a pair of gloves. she just ripped him down the middle like a phonebook with her bare talons.

later while checking out other visitors I discovered that almost every bard in the fortress had been her apprentice at some point. eventually she came inside to check out the taverns, and now she just sits around watching performances and getting into arguments about them, feeling nothing. I love her so much.
