Drew some mc skins from the ydyd:obsidian server! Think they turned out alright. I particularly like how Dandy's turned out. It's me, then @thedeaddandy, @transandor, and @arintheman

A dry pastel drawing I'd been chipping away at for a couple months during some discord art chats.

A small 48 frame animation to practice squash and general movement. I did this end of 2022, just didn't get around to posting it till now. Figured I'd do it when I finished the colored animation I recently did.

A 'little' project I worked on February 2023. I like how it turned out, especially the big loop it does to transition to the purple.

One of my favorite places to visit on my 2022 road trip would have to be Petrified Forest National Park. The sheer amount of petrified logs is so cool, it really does look like a downed forest, the logs sawed into chunks. Strange and beautiful. The uniqueness of it all. The blue badlands too! the colors of those hills.. Purple, blue/teal, green, pinks!

After that I went to White sands National Park. Those sands can really white! Probably got a little heat-stroak-y, Drew a couple barn swallows and bats that were around the visitor center.

Image ID: The drawing done in watercolor is of some of the blue badlands within a wash of dark beige and brown pebbles. the bottom layer is a  light purple, above that a dark purple, above that a medium blue-teal, above that a sage green, and above that is a pink. Atop some of them is dark brown chunks of rock. a chunk of yellow and red petrified wood sits within the wash as well.    A pencil drawing of a chunked log of petrified wood.    A series of small drawings of standing barn swallows and huddling little brown bats.

It wasn’t my very next stop after Niagara, but the next time I’d draw what I saw was when I got to Indiana Dunes National Park. I quite enjoyed it, got to take a little impromptu trip to the top of Mount Baldy with a guide. Also got to see the bog they’re revitalizing. 

Image ID’s: Three traditional drawings done in mostly pencil with a couple bits in watercolor. The top image is at the foot of Mount Baldy as it swallows up a few trees, the sun shines down to throw their shadows on the dune.

The second image has an image of a blue dragonfly and flowering pitcher plant done in watercolor and pencil.

The third image has 3 dragonflies in various perspectives, a grass, and one of those small sticky red plants.

After visiting with my Grandma I left to take my meandering way to TX. Visited a few places, but didn’t draw till I got to Salk Lake City, UT. A place called Big Cottonwood. The various greens was weirdly striking here. Strange to see trees at the top of mountains rather then the foot of them.

Image ID: A watercolor of a mountainous landscape. A yellow grass at the foot, saturated green trees and blue bushes on brown ground as the land rises, and a green-blue mountain in the distance - the trees getting denser higher up the peak.

This page has 2 drawings from Capital Reef National Park and another drawing from Bryce Canyon. I did not know about the orchards of Capital Reef, I wish they’d been ready for pickin when I was going through.

Image ID: 3 traditional pencil drawings; the top piece is of a small low archway with a little color indicating how the light is coming through the holes that made up the arch. The second below that is a quick drawing (a little note nearby says “done in 8 min”) of Hickman’s Bridge - a large tall arch from a slight side-on view. The third is done sideways, it of a ‘cave’ with a section of wet moss done in color.

Road trip 2022 also included Arches National Park. This is probably one of my favorite pages. Spectacles Arches really does look like a face/eyes. Even has a nose... idk, but it now kinda reminds me of that old old “Kilroy was here” meme.

Image ID: A page of pencil drawings, a series of arches and rock formations from Arches National Park.    Clockwise from top right: Tower Arch - a beautiful arch with a mini-window next to it, The Fins - a rock formation that looks like a series of large flat stones standing upright, Landscape Arch - irl long arch that I drew the simplest and is quite skinny, Spectacles Arches - drawn sideways it is 2 almond eye shaped arches divided by a large rock that looks like a bulbous nose, Balancing Rock - a triangle shaped tower holding up a large boulder beside two other large rock formations.    In the top left is a little note that reads “looks like a dick + balls...and now all the pinnacles look like dick.”

Before getting to my Grandma’s in Tacoma I visited Snoqualmie Park. The trees growing atop the stumps of older, larger trees was interesting to look at.

Image ID: a pencil drawing of a tree growing atop the stump of a much larger tree. the roots snake over and cause the living tree to look like it stands the more the older stump decays.

This particular page has 3 different places being represented. Bisti/ De-na-zin wildlife area, White Sands, and Carlsbad Caverns.    Bisti was a very interesting place, challenged my navigating skills. Saw these really cool wind-weathered vaguely egg shaped stones of mid-thigh height. Some almost looked like stone boats. The rock formation I decided to draw though was a hoodoo that looked really cool.    The tree I drew at white sands was practically the only one I found with any significant height.    Carlsbad was a surprise as far as how much I enjoyed it. I liked being able to go at my own speed through the cave. When I went to Mammoth caves, you always have to have a guide and there’s just so many people along with.

Image ID: Traditional drawings done in pencil and some with watercolor. From the top: a flat hoodoo atop a skinny fin-like formation in a slight v shape (if viewed from above).    a tree with roots exposed and going fun directions, holding it above a pale sand. The canopy shading the viewer. Occasional grasses and bushes surrounding it.    A blue, gray, and black mess that looks vaguely like the entrance outside from inside a cavern.    A yellow and orange mess that looks like the deposits left behind from the dripping and flowing water inside caverns.    A dead cave swallow; it is laying on its side with wings folded, no visible decay.

After the Badlands was Yellowstone. I gotta say, I didn’t have a great time there. There just seemed to be a lot against me that day and it wasn’t fun. At least my drawings that day didn’t suck.

Image ID: Two traditional drawings, the top with a little watercolor for color and the bottom in only pencil.    The top is a series of drawings of various geysers. Clockwise from the top is Grotto geyser- a strangely shaped and somewhat large shaped geyser with active spray, Spasmodic geyser - a geyser with sporadic issue and turquoise to green color, Giant geyser - a large pleasant looking formation to this one with a smaller more active one next to it, Anemone geyser - a small geyser with brilliant red, orange, and yellows that’d fill and empty somewhat regularly.    The second image has a rough sketch of the main attraction of Yellowstone - Old Faithful, but with the familiar annoyance of people in front of it. and buffalo in various sizes and poses.

After the dunes I went up into Wisconsin and saw the beautiful little towns in the north of it and got a glimpse of the sea caves on a trail I went on. Very beautiful walk, the birch trees up there just really held my attention. But I decided that I wanted to get a painting of the sea caves more. The roar of the water going in and out was awesome!!- Like thunder!

Image ID: a small traditional watercolor painting done from the top of a cliff looking over to another tree topped orange cliff with a hollow carved into it by the brilliant turquoise-blue of Lake Superior.

On the 2022 Road trip the third place I went to was Niagara Falls since I had never been. Both of these were live drawings. The 180° one was a trial since I had to keep covering it when the wind changed and the spray’d get me.

Image ID: Two traditional drawing the top in watercolor and the bottom in pencil. The top is of a wide-ish river and short falls with trees surrounding it and two geese swimming about as geese do.

The bottom image is a 180° view of Niagara Falls, specifically from the top of American Falls. You see it as it comes in from the right and falls in the middle. A city is across the way with a bridge across the river. A viewing center is across the falls and a space-needle like observation point is all the way on the left.
