Forgot it was October already so 2 in 1 on ISAT-tober

But mixed with the way Inktober works with ink and stuff

Really inspired by my own (almost) month old screenshots of my first playthrough, looking at my old reactions was so much fun

Mira's friendquest still has a special place in my heart, it was nice.

So I just made the most half-assed, spur of the moment notebook, and I think it looks pretty cute 🥹

Disclaimer: I've done much better binding before, this was a very last minute, let's just have fun, quick thing, so don't judge it too hard 🥺

So! I was sorting through some papers and such, and I found these loose signatures I had taken out of an old notebook and never did anything with. Figured I could turn them into a cute lil sketchbook!

I ended up using just the three bigger stacks (the smaller I'll do later), and some used watercolour paper to make the inner case a bit sturdier.

Took out the fraying old threads, bound the three signatures together, and then stitched the harder paper cover.

Then I used an old sketch painting (I have LOADS of discarded paintings just laying around), and glued it to the cover (with just good ol' glue stick).

The painting is just acrylic on sketch paper (thinner than watercolour), so the cover is quite floppy and has a nice plastic finish. The paint was layed quite thick in some areas and textured, which makes it super nice to touch.

Size is slightly smaller and thinner than a B6, but bigger than A6. Here's a comparison with my A5 journal:

Okay that's it! Bye! 💙

yeah, I think neither of them planned it through

(I always feel hesitant when drawing fanart on paper, but I've been feeling such a strong pull towards traditional art lately (as you can guess, I tried and couldn't bring myself to work on this comic digitally), so I want to see if a switch from digital fanart to traditional is possible and worth if for me).

some of my favourite hunger games pages from my sketchbook, mostly from 2023 and also Annie Cresta centred, bc I was doing a comic about her at the time

[shrimp-moment]

Had to pull out the old alcohol markers for this one

First page of my new sketchbook!!

fun fact!! this is the first time I've ever done a Fandom char for my opening page

my Xmen fixation has me by the throat- I've never drawn this much fanart in my life 😭

[razak-69]

Now that my laptop is fucking dead I have more time for traditional art, so here's what I drew on the first page of my [relatively]new sketch book

[Sorry for the bad lighting]

Ink only version

Prism's concept art has been. Deeply on my mind. They had some killer ideas for her and ummm.....sobs in my hands. I love her?

"You wanna die, and yet you can't - so why Don't you just feed on me so you can stay alive?" The both of us are the only sane ones here, Although your voice is heard by people far and near I wanna hurt myself and ask you how I breathe in happiness and breathe out poison clouds A perfect junkie hooked on big ideals Isn't it great that we're the only sane ones here?

got so fucking pissed off trying to clear low hacks eight's palette in side order that i went and drew my favorite wet cat and their fucked up codependent manipulator. also AGH just realized the stripy texture layer is too opaque but it's too late to go back and change it now WHY DID I FLATTEN THE IMAGE

oh well. the over-texturing kind of fits. i guess.

*the song linked (rachie's english cover of undead alice) is a romantic song but i do wanna note that i don't ship these two together. in my headcanon they have something extremely fucked up, but strictly platonic, going on. it's just that the first two verses (and some other parts tbh) of the song really do fit whatever the hell is going on with these two, to me.

bonus (mostly) raw photo of it in my sketchbook before all the editing:
