I've been struggling a lot with a weird kind of burn out lately. I have the drive to draw, I have so many ideas that I desperately want to put on paper, but I just don't have it in me to draw.

For some reason it's taking so much out of me that even thinking about picking up a pen to doodle sounds so draining that I struggle to make any attempt at it at all. Experiencing executive dysfunction with art is rough.

I don't really know what to do to get out of this rut other than just waiting and hoping it goes away on its own 😭

#samael ramble #It's really difficult I won't lie #I WANT to practice and improve #I want to draw my OCs for fun #I want to draw new tattoo flash and post it on insta #Get that engagement moving again and get new clients #I want to further my career and enjoy doing it #But holy fuck man I am so tired all of the time #When the thought of even trying to draw anything feels like a difficult task to get through #It's hard to not be sad #Idk what to do other than wait and hope tbh #Vent #I guess?#I'm just tired man

winter assassin outfit

#zeno's art #ocs #reassassination #octavia krankenstein #oh i got a LOT to say about this one #in the comic octavia starts wearing this outfit after a certain event i think n its very symbolic #it represents mainly how her personality has changed as well as her relationship with kranken and humanity as a whole #lets do it top to bottom. FIRSTLY the mask that replaces her goggles that she wore in the “summer” outfit #the mask represents several things. firstly that octavia's relationship with kranken improved #i think the mask itself is probably kranken's and octavia uses it. showing that they've become closer #and ALSO even using a mask to hide her identity while working is in line with kranken's ideas of clothing being practical rather than flashy #(see her first outfit was originally really frumpy and practical before she DIY'd it into the minidress type thing)#anyway. the hoodie is supposed to harken more to an executioner showing octavia is more used to her job #the hoodie has eyelets which are circles. the fact that there are way more circles in the design shows that she becomes less cold #and more assimilated into human society #the gloves however are a sign of her persistent rebellion as they're fingerless and impractical lol #the pants are based off of tripp nyc's design. which was popular with mallgoths in the 90s/00s #it shows octavia's own personality and interests and of course has two hidden sets of 6's through the eyelets #lastly her shoes resemble skulls. that one's just for fun #while her first outfit completely represented rebellion i like to think this one bridges the gap between rebellion and octavia settling down #and becoming more familiar with those around her #this is only the first pass so i'll prob incorporate more red into the outfit before it's finalised #octavia isn't the only one who changes either! i want like ~3 changes for almost everyone

i won't lie to you, making this drawing distracted me from making the comic AND IT WAS because i just wanted to practice making a quick background, but uhh i think i took it more seriously lol

although i have been advancing :D/ i have not shown more progress cuz i do not want to spoiled everything hehe i want it to be a surprise 😌 anyway, i hope you like it and here's a close up shot( °∇^)］

#now that i think about it i have two sides #i am in love with everything that has to do with the nature of the movie #but also with the onceler factory and it was not very kind to nature yk #i need to learn to draw more complex structures AAAAAH #i want to take advantage of this inspiration to make backgrounds #to practice and improve i really LOOOVE drawing them :“>>#i was also inspired by the animatic i made a while ago of The Oncelers song Traveling Madness hehehe #onceler #the onceler #art #onceler fandom #the lorax #lorax 2012 #the lorax fandom

day 129

so was anybody going to tell me @adorkastock had their own random pose generator now or was i just supposed to find that out on my own

#day 129 #year 5 #aradia megido #homestuck #so hey genuinely i think adorkastock taught me to draw???#well among other things obviously. BUT.#in high school when i was just starting to like. understand anatomy as skill that i could Actively Practice #instead of just drawing whatever the hell i wanted and hoping it looked okay #i spent entire art classes just TEARING thru their deviantart page and drawing my blorbos in the poses i found #because my art teacher didnt know what to do with me since i was blowing through all the regular assignments WAY too fast #so she really just let me go nuts #and this was still homestuck mind you. like. it was 2013-2014 i was very much in the rabbit hole already #so fundamentally i have changed as a person in the last decade but also no i havent #ANYWAY it was adorkastock and line of action that basically got me Actually Improving at art at that point. cant recommend them enough trul

[Damian in the Minecraft server excitedly showing Jon his extensive (and ethical) farms that he made while Jon was banned from Minecraft to focus on studying for tests at school]

Jon: ... yeah, you're so shit at Minecraft. Looks nice though!

Damian: ?! what do you mean? I worked hard on these????

Jon: *sigh* I'll show you what a real Minecraft farm looks like!

[Jon brings him to his "farm" and proudly shows off the fact you cannot tell the pixels apart as there are so many animals in one spot]

Damian: I....... have no words for this. Our friendship is about to end over this. Think of their feelings.

Jon: but this is how you play Minecraft 😭😭 next you're going to tell me you don't even eat the animals at your farm and they're just decorative 😭

Damian: I'M A VEGETARIAN. 😡😡😡😡 I MAKE BREAD. 😡😡😡😡😡😡 LOG BACK OUT. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

#hi I'm obsessed with thinking about them having an mc server but it's just the two of them #in my head Jon is 100000% the type of kid who watched people playing mc all the time but never found #fun in playing by himself so he forced Dami to play it with him #so he theoretically knows how to do a lot of stuff but practically is kind of unskilled #like he knows how to enchant his stuff he knows redstone contraptions he can do anything but he CANNOT avoid creepers or endermen #and dami is like 'i'm living my domestic dreams here'#dami would stumble across a bunch of diamonds and then try to get them with a wood pickaxe and then Jon would scream #once he understands how to mine diamonds correctly he doesn't even use them he just puts them in a chest for Jon to use #jon is like 'i want to fight the enderdragon plz come with me' and dami is like 'im busy building a railway system so I can easily #go between our house and the local villages #he probably likes to rebuild/fix up/improve the villages too #jon comes back from a long trip to the nether and Damian is halfway through building his own server batcave #jon kent #damian wayne #damijon #jondami #sorry I'm not gonna shut up about this for a minute I need to heal my inner child

I wanted to have a crack at lineless so ofc I used the bb gurl as my model to do so- I'm quite happy with how this came out as lineless got me to think more about colors!

I found either using a gradient map helps a lot just to even out the colors at the end or to make a palette (which was just me grabbing Suns colors and adding tints n what not to make my half tones)

I might have another crack in the future since I do want to improve my color choices when I do fuller pieces with shading <3
