WiP - Hallowe'en 2k16 (colours)

Aprina's got a sharper face than I gave her in the sketch/lineart, so during the colour process I ended up just changing almost completely.  Lifted her chin, gave a bit more of a powerful feel, methinks.  I'm unhappy with how I do skin in general, so I think I'd just leave it here where I can tolerate it before I ruin it and refuse to finish lol.

Time to start the clothes and maybe not fuck it up.  Hopefully this will be done by tomorrow!

Lineart - Hallowe'en 2k16

Aprina's first appearance in quite a while, it seems. Being a Real Life Witch™ as a witch for Hallowe'en. I'm pretty excited to get this coloured, because this doesn't really do it justice.  Especially the pumpkin.  Oh man.

WiP - Hallowe'en 2k16

Something really lit a fire under my ass when I woke up today, so I opened up an old, unfinished thing for a previous Halloween and decided to start it over and make it better. :B

Throwback - Ainé Sketch Dump

It's that time again!  Time to keep up appearances and toss up another throwback since I've been pretty lacking in the drawing department.  And I'm quickly coming to hate the plan with me challenge...I think I expect too much of myself. :I

So!  Have this here~  It's an old OC set in the Magic the Gathering setting.  Very short-lived and ultimately recycled a lot of concepts elsewhere, but I enjoyed her. :>

WiP - Operatorssssss

Proooooobably gonna redo this entire thing, because I hate it. :I

#planwithmechallenge - Days 14-17

I've skipped two days, Goals and Experiments.  I feel the images would just be repeats, but I don't really have individual spreads for things as specific.  I'm also not a very goal-oriented person, as I'm sure I've said before... all you'd really see are lists, like things I plan to draw and write.  Experiments...well, this whole thing is one big experiment, isn't it?



Day 14: Adventures
I don't have the resources to go on very many of them, nor the time or energy most of the time, but the ones I do have are always memorable.  I have another Finland trip coming up in January too, though I'm not sure what kind of a spread I'll be doing for it.  Would be a bit bland to just draw this again with slightly different layovers pft.



Day 15: Self-Care
The whole point of my bullet journal is self-care, so here's the half-year review I did.  Gotta say, though the challenges are nice in theory, I'm not sure how positively they impacting my process, because I either feel like I skip too many or I don't have the time/energy and have to catch up all of the time.  Ehhh...



Day 16: Planning Tips
Intense planning isn't really a focus for me at the moment, more of a long term goal. So, unfortunately I don't have much to advise on the matter. Just take baby steps, if you're anything like me. I tend to be more in the moment due to my BPD.  Planning week-to-week is the best for me at the moment.



Day 17: Colours
I'm pretty fond of colour, and it has always been a part of my system. It always will be too.

WiP - Warframe Operator

About as far as I managed to get before I got upset by something and couldn't continue bleh

Warframe Operator Sketch

Guess who likes their operator in Warframe a lot more than they thought they would...

#planwithmechallenge - Day 10 & Day 11

Day 10: Journaling
Fashionably late, as always. The reason behind why my dailies get chaotic is exactly this. I do a bit of traditional journaling there to dump and process mentally. This week didn't even manage to stay on these two pages. I usually get it to.



Day 11: Just4Fun
Aside from these challenges, this is probably my biggest and most involved "just4fun" ;P

#planwithmechallenge - Day 6, Day 7, & Day 8

Hustling to catch up on these.  I've been doing them as I should, the problem is I just haven't been posting them as I do them, pft.  It's alright, I guess.  I think I'd prefer not to have tons of consecutive posts in a row on it.  At least not here.




Day 6: My "Why"
Crudely scrawled, but pretty much self explanatory. I don't currently study and I'm not a hugely busy. I do this to minimize dissociative tendencies, to track my BPD cycles, and dispel my most problematic coping mechanism, memory loss.

 

Day 7: Favourite Tools
By far, the most commonly used tools are my Faber-Castell Pitt artist pens, my ruler, and my gel pens. Mildliners are starting to play a bigger role in my journal more recently.

  

Day 8: Sidekicks
I do a lot of messy note-taking in here (even though I showed a neat page lol). I get a bunch of thoughts at work too, so I needed something small that would fit in my pocket.

Commission - Birthday Mermaid

Been a while since I've had a proper commission. Even longer since I've painted! :D But I'm pretty pleased with it. ♥

WhattheFuckMe

 

I'm irritated

#planwithmechallenge - Day 5: Holiday Planning

 

I try to do a brief fact sheet for them with my personal plans for the day. Admittedly, I tend to celebrate alone and in smaller ways, eg. targeted tarot readings. I'm pretty solitary.

Throwback - Forget Me Not

Let's break up the bullet journal posts with another throwback.  It's among my favorite pieces I've done.  I wish I'd been a bit more inspired on the background, but the message it sends is already powerful enough for me.  Poor baby Kali. :c

#planwithmechallenge - Day 4: Routine

Nothing keeps me on track more than my weekly spread. My dailies can be very messy and chaotic, even. But my weeklies really pull me back together after I spew all over the next pages, lol.  This week has changed slightly with the divided note box. :B  We'll see how well that plays out for me.

#planwithmechallenge - Day 2 & Day 3

I skipped day 1 because the prompt was “Introduction” and I really couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do for it.  You guys don’t need me to introduce myself by now tho so, yea.

Day 2: Monthly Overview
I have surprisingly little planned for one of the most important month in my year lol.  But honestly, it's all revolved around planning for Samhain & Hallowe’en, so really that’s all that’s necessary for that page pft.

Day 3: Today
Lots of wiki work for today…and moonsickness is kicking my ass. :x  Funny how my hand smudged the red droplet and it reflects how bad the pain's been lol.

September Journal Calendar

I'm pretty pleased with how these pages look by the end of the month. :>  Let's hope I can keep this up.  Some of these are honestly kind of hard to do.  I have many days at a time where I just haven't done anything of note due to work or I've done the same things as another day.  Gotta get creative in those cases, clearly.
