For a while now I've been wanting to try painting over the Pillars of Creation photo taken by the Webb telescope.

When I was a kid I thought the earlier version looked like a bunch of dragons racing to the sky, and I think the new pic looks even more like it, so, here they are~

For reference, same crop of the photo down here:

Artfight 2023 Collection

This year’s Artfight has come and gone, and it was a pretty active year all things considered. Sent out a lot of attacks, and even got a lot of defenses, especially for Kilua this year. Since a lot of work went into the pieces I did this month, here’s each of the pieces I did for people.

Keep in mind that I was on Team Vampire, so next to the title of the piece, i’ll have a number that corresponds to the person it was for, attributed to near the bottom of the post, and in parentheses, a indicator on which type of piece it was, friendly fire, attack, revenge, etc. Without further ado... here’s what I did this year!

#Piece 1 - 20th Century Boys (Attack) Ft. Clarenze and Liam Signhson

#Piece 2 - Sweeping Blade of Grass (Attack) Ft. Parsley

#Piece 3 - Ballin’ (Attack) Ft. Slim Ridland (Ft. Daily Pyoro)

#Piece 4 - An Unlikely Trio (Attack) Ft. Ivy, Josie, and Wynne

#Piece 5 - Reaper in the Rain (Revenge) Ft. Drizzle

#Piece 6 - Salty Vaporwave (Revenge) Ft. Jewel

#Piece 7 - Hat Trick (Friendly Fire) Ft. Ferris and Mochi

#Piece 8 - Flower-Tailed Forest Dweller (Attack) Ft. Matcha

#Piece 9 - Sunflower Chu (Attack) Ft. Poppet (PMD ver.)

#Final Piece - Fluffy Aeromancer Dragon (With a Battleax) Ft. Aero

Last Thoughts of the Event:

This year’s artfight I think was one of my favorites i’ve had so far (and i’ve only been around since 2021), but not without some added anxiety.

Some of that anxiety was expected stuff from artfight, like not being able to hit a couple people because I ran out of time and energy, and also dealing with artist burnout a couple time. But some other stuff was personal life stuff, and well... twitter becoming more and more of a trashfire.

That all being said, this year was also really fun. One of my favorite things to do over an artfight is find some way to improve on or just experiment with my art since I don’t really do “big colored pieces” very often, and this year certainly helped push that a little further. I experiment a lot with shading and backgrounds, and I think in hindsight, things like Pieces 2, 5, 6, 8, and Final ended up being my favorites to look at just because the colors and background all just work.

Some of them also allowed me to think up a couple ideas of scenarios to put the characters in that added to how I went about the piece. Pictures 4 and 7 especially clarify that, considering they depict a scenario or even a potential group dynamic that’s pretty fun to think on. 

Though what also was crazy was that I got attacked a lot more than I was expecting to going into this year. Like I expected at least a couple if I was actively participating, but I got hit with... well 7 technically, but one was a mass attack Volt was included in, not directed at me, so 6 officially. It was a neat surprise to keep waking up to a few of them, and a lot of them focused on Kilua, she got a lot of love this year. (dw, Volt got a couple too actually). I’m really happy about that, and I love all the drawings people did, they all capture something about the original designs that I love, while translated into their own styles. Dibnibs in specific went and even added backgrounds to them after the event passed, and they (not just mine but a couple of the others I saw) look awesome.

Whatever the case though, the event went really well. I got quite a few pieces sent my way, and I was able to put out a lot of pieces, and a lot of those pieces I really like how they came out. I was on Team Vampire this year, but I think I can say i’ll win either way because I only was on there because a lot of my mutuals were going werewolf, and I wanted to have opposition. That and, I just like Werewolves more. 

If anyone has questions for me about anything related to their art, my dms are open. And with that, thanks for a really fun year to everyone who participated.

More Malevolent fanfic art! These were very productive vacations~

This one goes to @organchordsandlightning for the fic whimsy and dearth (or, A Lighthouse Refuge), part 1 of 3 in a series.

The whole series was an absolutely fantastic ride in its entirety, but I chose the first one to work on cause Innsmouth holds a special place in my heart (and the jarthur dynamic Is kajshdgdjfdf :chef's kiss:)

Also, have a lil John portrait from when I was trying to figure out what he'd look like

The Crystal Glaze Saga (Part 1)

Ceramics. Stoneware. 2023 FALL

Glaze: NR Crystal glaze-Blank Slate (glazy) by Nick

Cone 6 Oxidation

I struggled a lot using this glaze. The swatches turned out so pretty but they wouldn't turn out well. I think I needed to adjust the firing schedule a bit more to match the one listed on Glazy. There was also the problem of the weird clay I was using leading to the brown streaks while firing. My first attempts used a regular schedule that led to little to no crystals forming.

It even led to the bottom of a really nice bowl I made exploding or something?

Then I used a different firing schedule (for crystal glazes specifically) and created this cup. The design was meant to emulate a cracked fermentation pot. The crystals turned out really well for this one! I would have preferred it if the clay was normal or porcelain but it has its own aesthetic.

I tried using this firing schedule with some other combination glazes but the glaze just mixed with the other glazes or something and vanished. The first rice bowl has an interesting cracked design in the closeup and vestigial blue streaks. But the cup proceeded to Houdini.

I hypothesize I didn't apply the glaze thickly enough or it just doesn't play well with other glazes. Nonetheless, I want to experiment with this glaze more in the future.

Behind the Orchestration of "Vigorous"

Just in case you still haven't understood how I came up with this particular song, here's the rest.

The pandemic and the quarantine in 2020, from the door, had me all depressed and hostile again. But then the middle or end of spring didn't even stop right there; coming out of self-negativity and watching KHORnime reactions on YouTube, I hear one of the old intros, and it was mentally like "Yo, I wonder how this person included this song on the intro of every video? This joint sounds good on my plate." I surfed/Shazam'd Happiness' joint, found it, heard that one breakdown part. It was so good that I opened Reason and flipped the joint afterwards. Pitched that bad boy up to two semitones, edited the swing of the audio cause I want that joint to really fit my imagination, and even made chords out of the joint. It's mind-blowing too, because reflecting on this whole session [fasting-forward to now], I always dreamed to be Q-Tip so bad that I imagined myself DJ'ing/orchestrating at some sort of a medium or giant venue to where Happiness' joint come on first, and then Vivrant Thing Remix (with Tip, Missy and Busta) comes in after that joint. Pigs will start flying over there at their spaces, but for me being a fan of these guys, it would've been really dope still.
