yeeh the brush is pretty im def using it more HAHA. I've never used illustrator before, only photoshop ;;
Not sure if pen tool is the same tho, photoshop and illustrator have a ton of differences D:

and yea i have a work ipad because I was going to have to use it when travelling to one of the other factories to help with some stuff on the factory floor buuuut SARS-CoV-2 had other ideas D:
I'm a PC person too hehe, but I have a desktop compy so when im moving around campus n stuff normally i have a laptop but it's almost dead so im thinking about replacing it with an ipad hehe
 
ahhh tru tru i need to explore photoshop more hahahah
dayummmm that's so cool :eek: what do you work as if you don't mind me asking...
ahhhh sem sem!! I built a comp for design/gaming (cuz the specs are basically the same hehheh) but i have a smol macbook for university work I've had it since highschool so its pre old (wow everything i own is old LOL) but when i used my macbook to draw (cuz i couldn't bring my desktop for exchange) it kept overheating big fat f xC

ahhh yee im a chemical engineering student haha, im on internship rn.
so not art/creative at all xD

i don't do a lot of work on the laptop anyways, occasionally i'd do some programming on the go but I use matlab and there's ways you can run that on the ipad now haha, so i'll probably start doing that instead. :>

i guess my problem with procreate is sometimes it feels a lot more simple than photoshop or anything im used to using on the PC buuuut its still quite nice esp. if you also have the apple pencil hehe. and im sure its a lot more powerful than i'm using it (i literally just realized i could use selection tool to block out areas to color LOL) so theres def different things it can do that I sometimes have to google haha

quickie sketch, pass 2 of my new OC // Malencia Zhang.
This is her in the first part of the story, ie. before promotion, so she's still a student.

previous iteration was her in a later bit of the story. I'll probably redo her later outfit to be a blazer as well (likely with more medals/military decoration things) but she does cut her hair and put it up in a ponytail during combat.

the uniform is navy blue and gold, her buttons are on the wrong side because it's her brother's blazer altered to fit her.
her family/background is a bit poorer, so unlike the other students (wear ribbons) she wears a simple scarf. Even though she could buy a brand new uniform with the money that she's allotted by the school, she still chooses to be frugal about it.

some cuties I've been drawing haha

lil quickie I did for my sig. Might take requests for similar cheebs but no promisesss (i did that one p quick so quality may vary haha)
 
Since fair haikus have gotten me all inspired to write poetry again, I figured I might post some of my previous work:

prismatic.
beginning, in the heart of the jungle.
day after day, life passed automatically
until one day I did stumble
upon You, then saw the world prismatically.

continued, despite gnawing fear.
You took the seat next to me, silent
through danger, looming near,
yet We become fools, our colors ever vibrant.

fools we were, in the end.
they took, and slashed You open.
but whom did we offend?
I thought, as I stood there frozen.

leave a world for Queens and Kings,
renew passion with Our newfound wings.


author's commentary: old one I did for a final project in my Creative Writing seminar around 2? years ago now. Time flies.
Structure was inspired by a Shakespearean Sonnet, though I abandoned meter in the end, because I found it difficult to constrain the Rhyme, Story, and Meter in this one. Got a lot to learn, haha.

101.
it was one clear day
when i met you.

you asked to work,
to learn the mysteries
of the world.

conflicted,
i sent you away once
though next,
i came to retrieve you
once again.

author's commentary: just a small free verse on meeting someone and not knowing whether to welcome them or to turn them away

idk if anyone's interested in reading more, but I posted my haikus in the contest thread!

& as always, C&C very welcome & appreciated!

raindrops.
you sit behind a window, looking outside.
you walk in the rain, covered head to toe.

you see a man walking in the rain, holding a banana.

and you ask,
why?

hours and hours of endless thinking.
pondering. reasoning.
what do you do?
sit.
observe.
look at the pain of others,
unemotionally.
disjointedly.
as if you couldn’t give a single care about
why.

you’d care about him
about as much as you care
about the raindrops falling outside,
as much as you care about
anything:
only when it’s convenient.

then after that, swept up.
a whirlwind of tasks.
why care for anyone but yourself?

even when you see someone
stumbling staggeringly in the rain
alone,
while you are comfortable,
pristine and dry,


and you turn away,
passing by,
without a single care in the world.

Inside a spoiler because it is quite long.

author's commentary: longer poem I did awhile ago, part of a writing exercise. It was a poem that was supposed to be inspired by a man outside with a banana (creative writing profs are weird.... anyways...)
I have one more poem I did for that class but would like to revise it a bit before posting. And yes, I did revise this one slightly, the original was quite different~!
