They were all in the same room so I HAD TO DO THIS

[beetlb]

Couldn’t stop thinking about casual!Nat yesterday. Literally looked away from my screen, blinked, then looked back and got this…

[o-wyrmlight]

Me when I’m writing out the timeline of my fic because I’m very bad with timeline stuff. Me when I get distracted and do this.

Gesture practice turned into Cloriva workout sketches.

This is probably the sketchiest-sketch i've ever posted but gosh this design makes me so happy lol,

[moggettt]

Pardon the sketchiest sketch ever, but idk when I'll get a chance to finish and season 2 has me HYPE

EDIT hey it's done!

[eyeonyou]

I got stuck on the idea of March Equius. Homestuck, even. Unfortunately my finger is currently infected so it is the sketchiest sketch ever to sketch. Frankly, I think it adds to the overall impression.

(Not pictured: EQ trying to walk in chunky emo boots, slipping on own sweat, and fleeing back hive in moist despair.)

Credit to @yamman225 for the idea :]

*sigh*…. It happened again. I read a really good story and then I had to sketch something. At this point it’s turning into a vice.

I think this is the sketchiest I’ve ever posted, and I spent a lot more time looking for blackjack dealer poses as a reference then I care to admit. But, I finally got one I liked, so now I can work on the main one. Can you guess which?

Anyways, go read this amazing story by @certified-handler, it is sooooo good! I have literally been unable to finish the 20-something drawings I have going on cuz I can’t stop reading. *cries*

This is the messiest sketchiest sketch to ever sketch, but when I get this cleaned and spiced up on the iPad it's over for you griddlehark girlies

Sketch of the day part 15: Griddlehark

this is THE sketchiest sketch to ever sketch, but todays episode meant SO MUCH to me. although i dont use the label anymore, i used to identify as genderfluid so seeing a beloved character of mine come out as a genderfluid person in a beloved show?? dopamine!!!!!! :))

(click for quality!! i should hopefully finalize this over the weekend, but i just really wanted to post abt it while the news' fresh :DDD)

I think the date at the park is so cute! Gabby and Lara have teamed up against Krow. They both believe that he is sketchy. This is how I imagined it.

“Again?” Lara asked exasperated. “Yes. I really like him! He’s really sweet and talented!” Mara said. Her twin sighed. “Mara, he's got to be the sketchiest guy I've ever met,” Lara said. “Ooh! You're right! I can confirm that when he sketches, it still looks so good!” Mara said. “I'm not talking about art, dimwit!” Lara said. “You should listen to me and Gabrielle. Sweetie, he's a weirdo. I mean WHY is he always calling you Dove?” Lara asked. “Because they're cute and I'm cute!” Mara said. Lara rolled her eyes. “We're here,” she said. She stopped the car. “Thanks, sis. I'll call you!” Mara said as she got out of the car. “Bye Mara!” Her sister yelled. “Remember no kissing, or hugging, and stay six feet apart!” Lara screeched. Mara cringed Everyone was staring. “And absolutely no se-” Mara cut Lara off. “Shush, I'm 23 and I know how to behave!” she said. She was blushing in embarrassment. Lara snorted then she drove away. Mara met up with Krow. “Hi!” she said giving him a shy smile. 

On the drive to the cafe, Lara called Gabby. “Hey gabs, guess what? She actually did it. She is on a date with that weird guy!” Lara said “What? Why?” Gabby asked. “She wouldn't listen. She thinks he's sweet and so talented.” Lara said. “Oh, my God,” Gabby said. “You want to know what really ticks me off?” That she invited him over. He's going to be at our house.” Lara said. “Again,” she added, delighted with Gabby's frustrated noises. When she got to the cafe, Lara and Gabby sat in a booth in the back. They needed privacy to discuss how dumb Mara’s actions were. “And when she brought him over I was pissed! They were on the couch cuddling! Ew.” Lara said. “I am done with this s***. If I had proof he was sketchy she would believe me.” Gabby said. Gabby and Laura continued to trash-talk Krow. When they ran out of steam, they started talking about fashion. Gabby was working on something new. “Gabs, I should bring that mannequin over for you. It would be perfect!” Lara said. 

 Mara was having a great time! Once the awkwardness of her sister's outburst went away, she and Krow’s picnic went a lot better. He was like a dream! The food was good. They got up to stretch their legs and Mara made sure to grab his hand. I'm breaking the rules already. She thought. Krow brought Mara to a peaceful spot with lots of birds. They had fun feeding them. Krow was also telling her about them. “Krow, you know a lot! Have you ever been pooped on?” Mara asked giggling. “Hehe, no I h-have not,” he said. When their date was over Mara and Krow were saying bye. “Oh and before you leave, give me your number!” Mara said. She and Krow exchanged numbers. As he was handing her phone back their fingers touched. Mara blushed. She wanted to find another reason to hold his hand. This was the second date but she already felt like he could be the one. Mara was a firm believer in finding the one, her love for life. She wanted a relationship like both her mom's. Ever since she had seen Krow around at the coffee shop, they have talked a lot and she found him really funny and charming.

Lara's car drove up. She beeped and rolled the window down. “That doesn't look like six feet, Mara!” she yelled. Mara and Krow were standing really close to each other and they had yet to let go of each other's hand. Lara gave Krow a disgusted glare. “You know Mara, you really shouldn't date down. It's not a good look for you. You deserve better. Plus you chose the sketchiest guy I have ever seen! He looks like he came from the back alley of a bar!” Lara yelled. Mara gasped. She and Krow were both offended. “Lara! You're my sister, you have to be nice. That's disrespectful!” Mara said, disapprovingly. “That's just what I'm going for!” Lara said. “Now get your ass in the car!” she yelled. Mara turned to Krow. “Bye Krow! I'll text you.” Mara said. Then she hugged him, knowing it would piss her sister off. It was the most contact they had all day besides holding hands. She would rather NOT recall the time today when she accidentally fell on him and just lay there because she liked being close to him. Or the fact that the only reason she got off was because she didn't want to sit on top of him too long. Mara left with Lara. As the car drove off, she thought she saw a green glow coming from Krow’s direction. What was that? She wondered.

Eeeeeee I love this! The difference between Lara and Mara, Lara and Gabby being sassy bitches together, the sweetness of Krow and Mara's date. All so cute!

Krow would certainly try his best to be polite and get along well with Lara. He doesn't necessarily WANT to infringe on Dove's family if he can help it.

Gabby sympathizes with Lara though. u_u

Krow would love to take Mara out to one of his favorite bird watching spot in the forest!

FEARNOT

Nostalgia cycles—that is, the timespan that it takes for something to become “nostalgic” for a group of people—seem to be getting less and less with every year that passes by, and 2019 was no exception to this. By 2019, it had turned to the early internet, or rather, the early internet fandom days of 2009-2012. FEARNOT was born out of this desire for the early internet, and it is quite possibly one of the most interesting things on MSPFA, for a variety of reasons.

First, each of the main characters in it take after internet archetypes, but they specifically take after the archetypes of that early internet; specifically, the kinds of drawings you might see in the early internet. The main protagonist has literally every disease, and this manifests in him crying blood all the time, much like old Edgy OCs from that time period. His best friend is based more off of the troll comics (you know, those old exploitable memes that used to be posted?) of that period, and the third of our trio is a dashing young woman who is based off of scene kids and the “Random RAWR XD Lol” humor that was seen at that time. So, it’s not really types of *people* you might find on the internet that they are based off of, but rather the remnants those people might have left behind.

Already that might be fascinating to look at in terms of how it expresses nostalgia for that time period, but there is more interesting things than just character construction. For one, its main art style sees a kind of…harkening back to DeviantArt comics of the time, you know, obviously sketched in Microsoft Paint, and with—gasp, can it really be true—TRADITIONAL COMIC BOOK PANELING.

YES! The typical singular unit for MSPFA, the PANEL, has become it’s more traditionalist format of several panels arranged deliberately juxtaposed in sequence, complete with comic book’s typical “Desperation Devices,” the speech bubble. It is an effect that is very rare (up to this point in my journey that I can remember, anyways, besides that one time somebody made a Problem Sleuth Newspaper Comic) on MSPFA, and honestly makes the story flow in a surprisingly satisfying way. Actually, do you know Sparkle on Raven? It reminds me of that, which makes sense since both are taking their influences from amateur creations at that time period.

There are other art styles to the comic, however, and the way it starts is absolutely INSANE in terms of art stylization. Okay, so the two characters in the opening scene are sketched out with the MSPFA line weight ratio that everybody knows and loves, but on top of what looks to be a low-poly 3d model of a mattress, on top of a zoomed-in texture of some carpet, with text floating above in the sketchiest font I’ve ever seen, all topped off with it being flooded in this sort of pinkish-purpleish lighting. It is certainly a mood and panel that gets one’s attention.

The story itself is very good and funny as well, and I would highly recommend anybody who has NOT read FEARNOT to go check it out and the many twists and turns it has to its story. AND, Fun Fact, it’s still upd8ing to this very day! So, there is really no reason not to check it out.

WIP Wednesday!

Folks! I was tagged by the wonderful @greypetrel last week!! I didn’t have much to show then, but I do now!!

Updates on that Solas sketch I teased a while back! I just slapped some colors on this thing and I’m not the most happy with them right now, but I never am to start with lmao. It’ll get better as I goooo

Aaannndd here’s the sketchiest sketchy sketch that you ever did see that I just started working on. This one is mostly just an excuse to paint foliage and fun lighting (all those scribbles will be plants soon, I promise)

This week I’ll be tagging @greypetrel back as well as @plisuu, @rosieofcorona, @inquisimer, @broodwolf221, and @dreadfutures! No pressure to participate as always 💖💞
