Watering Daff-A-Bills

Just a little something I wanted to help promote the recent Looney Tunes movie. I've heard amazing things about, and it's had a very rocky history of being produced. It's quite a miracle that even came out in the first place. Please go out and watch it in theaters if you can, as a way support the Looney Tunes and 2D animation in theaters.

Dog Man Vs. Petey

I finally got my big February art project done, and this painting is a celebration for the release of the Dog Man movie.

Artist's Block

Sorry I haven't posted much art for this month, life is keeping me busy as usual. And I'm currently working on a special art project that I'm hoping to finish by the end of the month.

But to make up for lost time, here's a painting that I made last year during my break, and that I recently displayed at a local art exhibit. It's basically my own visual depiction of what it feels like to go through an art block. I had a nice time working on it and I'm happy that I got to share it for the public to see.

Quite a Curious Catch

"Just because you see a smile, don't think you know what's going on underneath" -(Alastor, 2024)

Here's a simple drawing of an Alice and the Cheshire Cat interaction. I had this idea based off this scene from Hazbin Hotel: https://youtu.be/01ZZ_Zzffx8?t=66

Playing with Demons

I finally got my (belated)Halloween art project of the year done. And for this one, I decided to make an art piece based on the recent installation of Spooky Month: Hollow Sorrows, which was a fantastic episode! This picture took a little bit longer than anticipated, but I'm overall happy of how it turned out!

Happy Birthday Pomni!

Happy one year anniversary for the day a panicky multicolored jester entered a magical digital world of crazy, random proportions, and birthed herself a brand-new identity!

Kinger's Fortress of Solitude

I've always considered Kinger to be one of my favorites from TADC, with his forgetful but kindhearted personality. And now I have a bigger appreciation for his character thanks to the recent episode.

Indie Animated Shows

I decided to make a color penciled art gallery of characters from 6 different indie animated series that I'm most acquainted with.

Joy

Here's a painting of Joy from Inside Out. I've been thinking about doing a series of paintings of each different emotion, and I wanted to start if with a personal favorite of mine.

Joy has possibly the strongest character arc in a pixar film since Woody from Toy Story. Her learning the importance of all the other emotions feeds into the original film's message beautifully, and I'm so glad that the sequel allows Joy to grow upon this moral rather than rehashing it.

The background was inspired by the starry night painting by Vincent Van Gogh, and I thought it would be a nice fit to Joy's personality.

Bake-Believe Bungle

Here's a fanmade Cuphead poster I've cooked up!

The scenario is that the cup trio signed up for a summer job to be Chef Saltbaker's assistants, and have been put in charge to bake pastries. But they eventually discovered the vast variety of fun things they can use the dough for that doesn't involve creating food dishes. Being the mischievous, fun-thirsty kids they are, they proceed to create a bunch of unique ways to play with their food to their heart's content, much to the chef's dismay.

I was originally planning to release this around the time the "The Delicious Last Course" reached it's 2nd year anniversary. However, this project that originally started off relatively simple turned into something bigger than I intended; adding some extra details to make it feel more complete. And I'm pretty proud of the final result, it may have taken about two months to complete it, but I say it was worth the extra effort.

Name Appreciation

I haven't been posting anything in a hot minute, as I've either been busy with other things in life, or working on some bigger art projects. To make up for some lost time I came up with this simple art piece based off of the Indie animated mini series: "Alphabet Lore".

It's a surprisingly well-done show based on what it had going for. And all the letter designs and worldbuilding are very fun to watch. So I thought I'd show it some appreciation as much as the letters do with the art of spelling.
