Back again! ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ ♪♬ With yet another illustration of my V. I really had fun drawing the pose & painting the background. Still exploring how I want to render things digitally & just getting a feel for it. I didn't successfully capture the leather texture I was going for. Texture is such a hard thing for me to capture at times, especially with fabrics. But I'll get there. Eventually, lol. ヽ(•‿•)ノ It's definitely fun to look back & see some of the small bits of progress I made from piece to piece. It's been quite the adventure.

Yay! Finally posting some art backlog! lol. ٩(◕‿◕)۶ Here's an illustration of my V from Cyberpunk 2077. I decided to use him as a way to experiment with some brushes as well as perspectives & angles. I feel like the experiment was somewhat successful here. It definitely evolved into something I'm more proud of now. (I'll eventually get to posting those OTL) The perspective shot with the sword was sooo hard to draw even with a reference. Especially the arms & the hands. I feel like I only somewhat pulled it off, it's not 100% what I had in my head. Perhaps I'll have to revisit that and try again. I also played with the city brushes & that needs more work as well. Cityscapes are also a challenge for me. One step at a time, I'll eventually figure it out. ✌.|•͡˘‿•͡˘|.✌

I hope I'll be able to play & commit to the game a bit more during break. I'm just always torn between resting & going out. Going out tends to win though, lmao. And when I am home, I usually prefer to draw or write. I will finish the game, eventually. ᕕ (ᐛ) ᕗ

Here's an illustration of Virgil I made a few weeks back lol. Trying to work on drawing gestures. It was fun to do but I need to work on types of fabrics and folds as well. I want my drawings to look tactile. But that will come in due time. I just gotta be patient with myself. ⸂⸂⸜(രᴗര๑)⸝⸃⸃ The pose still feels a little stiff to me but I feel like that's slowly improving lol. Just gotta keep at it.

I also recently completed this week's submission so I feel pretty accomplished. Haza! And this week it's my turn to select a song, "Holographic Heart" by Gunship got picked. So yeah, I have ideas on what I want to write there. Probably a Johnny/ Rogue piece. I'm also slowly wrapping up chapter eight, the end of high speed motorcycle chase scene is near and I'm drawing closer to the conclusion. I hope I can have it ready by the end of the week. (ง'̀-'́)ง

I recently got Obsidian for note taking, still learning how to use it. ಠ_ರೃ But essentially I want to create a file of notes that has all the random stuff I researched so I don't have to go looking for it again. Such as reviews of what certain alcoholic beverages taste/smell like, sword fighting techniques, etc. Create my own database of references, I guess. ┐(´•_•`)┌

And I started playing Wuthering Waves, so far I've really been enjoying it. The combat system is so flashy & fun. I also really love the character designs. They look so cool. I love Scar soooo much! (๑♡3♡๑) I hope to eventually do some fanart. Add that to my never-ending list of things to draw lol. ໒(⊙ᴗ⊙)७✎▤

The cp2077 brain rot continues lol. I drew my V. Wanted to experiment with rendering and played around with a few brushes. Gotta refine the process, it's not quite as to how I envisioned it but I'm happy with how it turned out. I really enjoyed the process overall. I want to experiment with rendering more and see if there's a style I like more. (Granted that changes every few months for me, lol.)

I finished The Artist's Way , I just gotta repeat/ review some of the exercises as the book prescribed but I had a deadline to meet, lol. I would say overall, I liked the introspective and goal planning stuff. I also liked the stuff with changing your views or adjusting them if there's a misalignment. I found that interesting.

I'm almost done with the next drawing like 90% done technically, but it's always the small details that take me a while lol. Kerry's tattoos are the bane of my existence, I think they look sooo good on him but they're a pain to draw. I've redrawn that tattoo like five times and I'm not satisfied. Gahhhhh. ⁽⁽(੭ꐦ •̀Д•́ )੭*⁾⁾

Yes, more cyberpunk because I'm obsessed. lol. I really love how Rogue turned out, her hair was really fun to draw but I also have a thing for mohawks so yeah. I also really enjoyed painting Misty's make-up. Might want to do more pieces centered on these two. Their fashion styles are so iconic. Gotta work on Jackie though, he didn't turn out exactly how I wanted him to but I'm pretty proud of the progress I did make. Art is just a never-ending journey, which I'm really grateful to be on.

Also made some progress with the fic, I think I'm about to wrap up chapter three (like maybe a few pages away). I'm actually surprised I was able to write that much for it. Two more chapters to go before I can start posting it. Hope everyone has a fun New Year's Eve!

Drew my V (Virgil) lol. Wanted to get familiar drawing him while experimenting a bit. Kinda played around with how I do the eyes and nose. Wanted to make them more distinct. Idk, if I actually accomplished that but an attempt was made. Regardless, I had fun with the whole process and hope to make progress with what I want to convey.

I've also been really enjoying the game despite it not being not my usual play style. Like I really enjoy the setting (not that I want to live in it lol) and the characters, which are an absolute hoot to interact with. They feel really distinct from one another. Like with their tones, word choice, fashion sense, etc. I freakin' love it.

And I've also made progress with the Silverdyne fic I'm writing. I'm almost done with chapter two. It's been super fun writing it. Just gotta wrap it up and keep pushing onward.
