One Way Apocalypse
I’m still on that tentative work hiatus, but I’ll just drop off a thing I did over a few breaks from schoolwork.
Hiatus.
Just dropping a note I’ll be on a general/tentative hiatus for a month or so. Review session is just around the corner and I can’t work on much more than this term’s assignments right now. I will hopefully have an artsy rebound and be able to post much more often after this hiatus, when I begin summer break.
See you lovelies in a bit-!
A belated birthday picture for Cara of her character Lieutenant!
Lieutenant is from Cara’s story in development, Lords and Lays.
Sorry it took so long, Cara! Happy (belated) birthday!!
Mmmmmatiana.
Got hit with an art block for a few days, but I finally managed to fight my way out of it.
Anonymous asked: This is probably a stupid question, but could you try to give a brief explanation of what clipping masks are and how you use them when you're shading? I understand if you don't want to, haha. Thanks, though!
Ah man, I am really, REALLY bad at explaining things, so I think it would be best for all parties involved if you googled clipping masks and checked out some basic tutorials on them. They’re real easy to get a hang of, and I think if you learn how they work, the shading process in the video should be easier to understand.

While we agree all the Strip Search competitors are magical and amazing people, I asked Alex and Uvnote who would be their favourites, added mine to the mix and drew ‘em up.
From left to right we have: Lexxy, Erika, Monica and Maki
If you don’t know what Strip Search is, it’s a reality show for cartoonists created by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade fame. You can watch it HERE! I highly recommend it, it’s pretty darn great!
Somewhere along the line when developing this character’s design I decided the pompous little douche look is the best way to go.
PS to the overwhelming majority of people who follow me for Homestuck art: I occasionally remember I have OCs and an original story in the process of writing and sometimes I draw things for it. Behold.
Anonymous asked: what art program do you use? and does it cost money?
Currently I use Adobe Photoshop CS5. It costs money.
A transparent, casually classy Kanaya.
I was requested to capture footage of how I draw and this picture was made for that request. You can see the video HERE.
I was asked to record how I make digital art, so here’s footage of my drawing process on a casually classy version of Kanaya. The entire drawing time of this picture took about 2.5 to 3 hours, I believe.
Made in Adobe Photoshop CS5 with a Wacom Intuos 5 tablet.
