#Yado's crap art

Sharing the Mimkyuu painting by itself.

As I sit here, sweating amidst this unseasonable heatwave, all I can say is spooky season is upon us.

I am very shy di about sharing this because I desperately want to do better with my art but haven't the resiliency to deal with criticism at the moment 🤡

ANYWAY IT'S JOY FROM PAYDAY FELLAS.

3rd artpiece made with Ohuhu markers (Xmas present from my partner)

I might add a background? Idk? Idk.

Aren't all the different kinds of Pikmin beautiful?

I did a very quick very speedrun portrait of Laika, who was and will always be a very good girl.

She did not know what was to happen to her. I am comforted to know her handlers broke protocol several times in the run-up to launch to make her more comfortable, to give her some love.

She was a stray street dog who they thought nobody would miss. She was born, lived and died well before I was born - indeed, I believe before both of my parents were born - but I truly love and miss her.

The patron saint of one-way trips and journeys from which you cannot return, indeed.

Good girl, Laika.

I follow someone on IG who made their own drawing prompts list for October (very original idea wow 10/10).

Anyway it was all witch-themed. Make a witch inspired by the word. Etc.

The prompt for day 5 was Frog.

Wow, I thought to myself. Frogs. What a cool idea! I'll make a little frog meditating with some incense and wearing a little witchy cape!

I spend a while~ researching frog anatomy and such.

I see the artist has uploaded their Day 5/Frog submission and...

... it's literally just a girl with a frog???

Anyway I ploughed bravely ahead because frog erasure is Not Cool.

I may have also made him a saint/angel/Profound Being of Your Choice

MY KEANU PORTRAIT IS DONE.

Sydney's team is a trollolololol team. The sort that on paper doesn't seem that bad - but get into battle and you'll realise her scrappy team has all sorts of moves that are (for want of a better word) annoying.

Think Swagger. Minimise. Double Team. Curse. Destiny Bond. Toxic. Spore. Sydney uses them all with a grin on her face matched by her long-term partner Pokémon, Mightyena.

When she's not battling or training her team, Sydney can be found helping Nurse Joy to rehabilitate abandoned and injured Pokémon.

Also uploading my other Mikikyu painting from the other day, because why not.

I wish I'd blended the paint a bit prettier, but other than that I like this. I had a lot of fun painting the squiggly bits!! Mimikyu is fun to paint. I've returned to adding random splashes of colour once finished painting the main piece because 1) it's hella fun & 2) it's my painting & I can do whatever I want.

I have been using a random number generator to give me a number between 1 and 1042, & whatever number it gives me I have to try to draw that Pokémon. However! The point is to practise drawing things as basic shapes FIRST instead of trying to make it perfect immediately.

Here is what I have done thus far:

... of course I rolled 199, a Yadoking, when I had barely any space left on my page.

It me.

My partner is away for a few days. So, aside from eating lamb that I ended up not enjoying, what have I done?

Paintings. I made paintings.

I paint whilst my partner is at home, of course, but usually I am confined to the spare bedroom, which is a mess of boxes and things and I cannot sit whilst I paint - so painting becomes less enjoyable and more frustrating, you see.

So I painted in the living room for the first time in ages, regretting the lamb (maybe I have gone so long without eating it that it's simply too greasy?), hoping the heat breaks soon. Wondering whether I can keep my hair in braids in perpetuity to avoid washing it (I am already on day 4 of not washing my hair. I am not especially depressed this time - it's simply too hot in the evenings to contemplate using the hairdrier).

Wanna see my life drawing pics? COURSE YER DO--

I know someone else in the Payday Tumblr community beat me to it already (but the post is avoiding me), but I actually saw the Hot Yaoi Base on CoD Twitter weeks ago &... here is the cursed result of that:

Excuse the random lines across Wolf's face - my nail polish scraped the paper surface and proved unremovable.

Based on the Hot Yaoi Base:

"Draw in pen," they said. "It will improve your anatomy and make you second-guess yourself less," they said. "Don't over-think," they said.

The way Pearl looks here = if David Bowie & the first Matrix film had a baby, aka a woman I'd like to FLICK hehehehehehhe

Okay - if we ignore the atrocious anatomy, dubious pose that makes it look like she's one of those Twister lollies, those blocky Minecraft travesties for hands AND the poorly drawn babbies first furry dot com, we can post - Punk Sydney and her Mightyena!

For some reason I envisage the Mightyena using Swagger. Dunno why. Just see it as a very Sydney thing to do.

Text says

Punk Sydney wants to fight!

Punk Sydney sent out MIGHTYENA.

MIGHTYENA used SWAGGER.

You've heard of WIP Wednesdays, now get ready for Spooky Season Sideas Sundays.

I wanna do more Pokémon paintings or drawings (haven't decided yet) of various Pokémon enjoying 'spooky season' activities. Pumpkaboo is at a pumpkin patch in a wheelbarrow - maaaaaybe. Two Gengars are enjoying some toasted marshmallows by a campfire.

Maybe I will have to have another 'mon enjoying a PSL? Or wearing uggs, beret and comically oversized scarf combo. Hmm.
