I love this so much! ๐Ÿคฉ Love the idea of having some tbt collectibles inside the charm not to mention having some art merch from you :D. I definitely will be trying to get one of these.

I hope you get some time to relax and enjoy what bit of the fair youโ€™re here ๐Ÿ™‚.
 
h...hello everyone!! (ยฐใƒผยฐใ€ƒ)
i'm trying to will myself to be functional and Do The Things I'm Supposed To. and that means trying to post in places so im forced to be perceived.
i have a very bad habit of just dropping off the face of the planet for a few months because i socially withdraw when i burn myself out.

on the off chance anyone's been wondering where i've been! i was in europe for the entirety of august, came back home, and got thrown into work immediately.
because lol i didnt realize they'd move everything scheduled early by 1 week. so what was going to be my "1 week buffer to ease back into work" turned into 1 day.

... and also mushroom season and tbt halloween stuff. but you all saw that. o(๏ฟฃโ”ฐ๏ฟฃ*)ใ‚ž

.... buuuuuuuuut i also just sort of. got really absorbed in drawing ocs. or, rather, one oc 439058403 times.

here they are with a dove on their head and bird poop.

also i saw the national theater of korea's macbeth posters on tumblr and i was like. That's Genius. my child is an actor. I Must.

... also happy halloween they're watching ringu.
they have so much in common with sadako they could be like besties โญ
1729819971602.png


regretfully this is not even half the art i've done of them. there's like. 30 sketch canvases and also an animatic. i'm learning to animate for them. i have no control over my life.
in my defense, most of them were from before august. except the animatic and the illustrations above, aside from the macbeth one.

also have a doodle because i made another oc for the sake of their Backstory in an AU. their first relationship. it's very cute and also doomed, everything involving verti is doomed

what else, what else... i've also been playing with polymer clay more lately!
1729820394865.png

oc belongs to a friend of mine! i mostly needed things to do that don't involve screens. making characters is hard. but... first attempt, so it's okay! i think she came out a bit charming.

aaaand on a very loosely related note, i'm considering making a fun sort of commission in the summer. after i get through all the shakers and other art that i owe.
1729820636608.png

it's... a YCH game!! limited to a small room. but i also might not do this because 1) i don't know if i want to do That Much Pixel Art (or i could do not pixel art...) and 2) it would probably be Stupid Expensive (like.... $200+)

i don't know yet! i might do something else entirely! or not at all! i'll have to figure out how i feel when i'm through with my ever growing backlog

ANYWAYS, WITH THAT SAID! i would like to promise i'll post more but i don't know if i can keep that! theoretically, my workload should drop a bit in november, but... i'm also taking the JLPT N5 exam in december, and i'm like. trying to cram really hard right now because i slacked for so long. ๏ผˆ๏ผ›ยดะด๏ฝ€๏ผ‰ใ‚ž i can do the listening and kanji parts decently, but longer reading is... hard. and grammar. im very bad with grammar rules.

i hope you've all been doing well!! ๐Ÿซถ
 
ive been trying to organize my art and stuff and post to social medias again

i. have done a total of 79 chibi commissions/gifts this year (for tbt, mabinogi, and friends)

c2f5a4fb-3ec8-4f44-b44a-f6cc1507bf6a_commission_batches_full.png

.... i did not know i drew that many. hm.
 
between finishing work and my dedicated Studying Time i had 3.5 hours
"can i get this idea out within that time period?" the answer is Yes.

febb4b39b58a53b0f52bbf890a288629bb68ac1c.gifv

au version of my oc... again.
theyre an actor and sometimes they use their tablet as a makeshift mask. one of the faces is my friend's oc. my child commits identity fraud (jk but not really)

also yes i still have art i need to do like the shakers but i refuse to do them when i dont have... the capacity to put in proper effort. and it requires more braincells than i have available.
 
i am in a constant state of "trying to draw whatever i can in the 3 hours between finishing work and studying (or after studying)." the jlpt N5 exam is in a week and i've been studying for a few hours every day so เฎ‡เฏฐเฎ‡)... test anxiety be real but also i like learning and school. i missed studying, just a bit.

it's all just the same ocs over and over again because 1) verti is really easy to draw, and 2) ive been fixated on them for like the past whatever months so. yknow.

i needed to give them casual clothes/pajamas and so i decided to make memey shakespeare shirts. there was nothing good enough for me to rip off so. i had to come up with jokes myself. i may be a genius.

verti_shakespeare_drip_small.png

the one on the left is a reference to a quote that the character Bottom says in a midsummer night's dream... and also bottom text meme. the one on the right is a reference to the "Press (x) to doubt" meme, the I โ™ฅ NY/whatever shirts, and "never doubt I love" from hamlet.

i am heavily tempted to just make these irl for myself.

aaaaand then feo and verti dancing a pas de deux (manon's bedroom pas de deux)
they do be theatre kids.
verti_feo_pasdedeux_smaller.png


also it took me 3 hours to draw the left reference for feo because i am. still struggling with characters that are not cute and small. or girls. but we persist!!
feo_reference_merged_small.png


also not my art, but my friend's! i commissioned him to draw verti and it was finished on my birthday!! yaaaay!!
lorna_verti_socmed.png

my child. so squishable.
pls commission him he's on that vgen verified grind and just need 1-2 more commissions i think.




speaking of vgen -- i got artist access on it! so i gotta work on getting verified there... eventually. i plan to open commissions there in december and then closing until may (because working 2 jobs in jan-april always has me dead)

i'm like.. trying to sort out my art schedule because if i dont i just wont do anything so my plans are:
  • December 1st (after my exam): open up 2 slots on ko-fi for chibis (25USD) -- priced a bit higher than it'll be on vgen but... earlier access? vgen just gets a discount for december. price will go up to match ko-fi after lmao
  • December 2nd:
    • Open 1 slot (first come first serve) on vgen for chibis (20USD). this is.. so i can figure out how vgen works on the artist side....
    • Open 1 slot for something that's not a chibi (and not fcfs, not set price) -- illustration or something. also so i can see what the proposal system is like...
  • December 7th:
    • I'll have presumably finished the first chibi by now (also fcfs), so probably opening more chibi slots.. 4? or 5... and then work on these throughout december!
... and hopefully that'll put me in a state where i'm comfortable doing chibis again for the shaker keychains and i can work on those throughout december too! mentally im just like. i refuse to do them without getting more practice from chibis again and being in that groove.

hopefully i can also do some other personal art stuff i wanted to get done. i have an animatic wip and want to draw a comic and-- a lot of things. i have a lot of things i want to do.

maybe i'll do more, maybe i'll do less... but i'm dedicated to trying to do something! i have roughly 1 month of sort-of-freedom before i'm thrown into work hell again, sooo... i will make the most of it o(๏ฟฃโ”ฐ๏ฟฃ*)ใ‚ž

... i wrote a lot! and that is probably because i'm trying to put off studying. and so i return to my study cave. regrettably.

ok i hope you guys have been doing well!! (ยดโ–ฝ`สƒโ™กฦช) i'll see you around more in december i promise!!
more acnh sessions in december!! also holiday event! and i get to do secret santa art yippee!!
