I love how your artwork has gotten more and more intricate over the past year. Looking at the bronchi weave in and out is kinda mesmerizing. :)

I’m glad you like it! I think I spent around 3 hours-ish from drawing the prompt cards to finish.

Thank you! I’m happy that you like it! :)

Yeah! You should go for it! We’d love to have you on !inktober@sh.itjust.works :)

Yes, that’s exactly what they are. I only got them recently, and this was my first time drawing with them :)

Thank you, and yeah - the cards are a lot of fun. I tend to struggle with drawing if the creative brief is to open-ended, so these cards add some helpful constraints. :)

Thank you for the kind words and detailed observations! Thoughtful reactions like yours are really gratifying, and make the effort and time spent thinking of those creative quirks all worth it. :)

All of this was done on Procreate, and were done with a few purchased brushes that mimic pencil grain. Coincidentally someone in the group I shared this with had asked me to upload a timelapse, so I have a short 30-second timelapse and a much longer 30-minute timelapse.

I understand, and thanks! :)

It isn’t - I drew it.

Edit: Ah - I can understand having to ask cuz of the way I worded the title though. I just used prompt cards from a deck.

oh yeah, that’s true! i only really keep up with the tcg lately, and i had made this so long ago that it had never really occurred to me. i appreciate you pointing that out, haha

🩷 I’m glad you like him! My favorite parts of that character are that ornamental tie/clasp and the way he and his partner are casually holding hands.

Thanks! :)

Looks great! Doesn’t seem like you have much rust to shake off, if any :)

Both of your posts are really cool! I dig your style. :)

Is this a joke riffing on the fact that May 9th is Go(5) Ku(9) day?

Me too! :)

I opened up the comments to say that it was reminiscent of Lane Smith artwork, particularly “The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Fairy Tales” but I can see how it would remind you of Scary Stories artwork, too. :)

Ooh! I really like how you played with the negative space in this one! The haziness of the background and the way it frames the subject in a hazy aura gives it a real ethereal quality. Our eyes are naturally drawn to faces, so the lack of facial features only accentuates the dream-like quality of the drawing. I like the creepy hands, too! :)

Thanks! The idea of a kelp forest seems so mysterious and pleasing to me.

Something about the combination of the way light refracts through the (relatively) shallow water, the dramatically reduced range of view due to the density of water, plus all the life that these forests can potentially harbor have really appealed to me lately. :)

Thanks! I’ve always been really partial to Tombow Fudenosuke felt tip pens, either the soft or hard tip. I don’t mind using other pens, but I always seem to circle back to those. I really like the resistance/feedback you get from the felt tip, and the fact that it’s water resistant makes it nice to use with watercolors or markers.

It also seems like it’s gotten pretty popular lately, so it’s nice to know that it’s probably not getting discontinued anytime soon. :)
