Shitty Višnja Study Sketches

These are awful and the photo makes them even worse but heeey

Sketch Dump - Višnja Lusk

Recent conversations and a cool new website have led me to dig deep within my OC pit and pull out ancient dear ones.  For a while I was fixated on Nika, because she among my longest running and favourite OCs. ♥

But then there's the underappreciated Višnja Lusk~  I was still pretty terrible at art when I was drawing for her, so I'm rather happy with my recent throwback to her. :)  Her face looks much more like I imagined it initially, now that I have some ability to render it.

I plan to do much more of her, as this isn't her full/normal outfit. I just wanted to nail down her physique and whatnot. :P I'm really happy with her hair, I used to hate it because of how flat it always came out, bleh. Can't wait to put the big gun back in her hands too. ;)

Kindle is OFFENDED

Practice, practice~ Still trying to work through this funk I'm in :I  And I really like Kindle's design and colours, so he was a perfect victim! I hope Erpa doesn't mind o3o

This honestly wasn't even supposed to be as paint-y as it is XD It was supposed to just be a silly coloured sketch buuuuut I got pretty into it.

WiP - Calling Down the Moon

I fiiiiinally got around to this. Still not entirely the image I had in mind, had more dynamic aspirations, but for now it'll do. Maybe one day I'll even finish it. :B

I'm always torn between the Don't Starve style and my slightly more realistic one. :/  Woop

Ps, if anybody would like to entertain the idea of me streaming my work on this (or anything else really), let me know, because I decided to dust off my picarto and wanna maybe get back to that stuff :I). So yea. Show me some interest so I know.

Mister Max

This is the best birb reaction to an argument I’ve ever seen. Mr. Max is not my birb, but this art piece is © me.

Throwback - the Oro Girl

I found this old gem (lol) sitting at the bottom of my folder when I organised it to do the art summary.  I'm honestly pretty impressed with what I was up to on July 3rd of 2012.  This is an ancient Condemned OC that was a super self-insert for a long time.  I did a lot of my favourite writing for her, because I actually had someone drawing with me and interested in reading what I wrote for her.  Super motivating to have a friend enabling you, you know? Lol.

I keep meaning to step back to some of this, maybe clean up some of the things.  Then again, I have that in mind for most of my old stuff.  Wish I had more time and motivation for it all.

WiP - Hoodneck

Idk whatthefuck I'm doing here lol

WiP - Shameless Self-Portrait

Shameless self-portrait-in-progress to really drive home the point that I need to get my digital-painting shit together.

Lisi's Art Summary 2016

[view on DeviantArt]

Hello Don't Starve font lol
I didn't finish, like, anything this year hahaha I sketched and sketched, but it got me nowhere. Aahhhh whatever.
Technically the pencil drawings are finished. They were meant to be that way so :I Yep.

But I want to make that the first resolution I've ever taken on for the New Year: I want to get back into the painting I used to do. Essentially, "finish" more stuff. I tend to stick in the concept stage and lose interest. It's a pretty bad habit, but I'm willing to chalk it up to some really awful things that happened over the span of March 2015 to about mid-2016. A lot of stuff has changed in my head and it has very clearly effected the rest of my life.

I've officially started a new chapter of my life though...and I think things are going to be alright. Maybe.

Some of these haven't even been posted yet because they're wip still. :P Like November's. Also, at least two of those months didn't produce anything I was proud of, so I used work from the following month. Whatever, really.

Sketch Dump - Calling Down The Moon

Did a bunch of quick sketches of Wiebke and the moon dial, because I'm in love with this object and the moon, so...you know.  One of them is going to be a pose for my fancy final, but I'm undecided.  Honestly, I like all of them except for the top-right, but even that can be worked on.

Maybe I should just do them all lol.

Inked - Filofax Dashboard

Took a bit of willpower to get me there, but here's the finished physical piece!  I'm super fucking proud of it.  I'm pushing myself outside of my comfort zones by pursuing mediums I usually avoid, like lining anything with an actual pen, lol.  Also put that grey mildliner to work. ;)

I'm going to scan it eventually, and put it through some proper line-work in photoshop.  Then I'll figure out how to get it printed to some cardstock, maybe laminate it.  Just need it to divide properly as a binder insert, you know?  Not sure what I'm going to do with all the empty space too, hmmm...

November Journal Calendar

I've had this finished for a few days now, but forgot to get pictures. :x  My bad.

There were almost six days I really struggled with, because I just have "sleep days" where I really need to catch up on my rest due to being very unable to find a good routine in that regard.  I'm not really intending to change that, because it works for me, but it does make this a little hard when I've done nothing but that lol.

And then I'm really less inclined to write in negative days, even though I know I should.  The 1st and the 17th being big ones in this month.

The Best Thing I've Drawn All Year

Almost forgot about this gem right here...lmfao.  Done with DeviantArt's muro.  It's literally the second thing I've ever done using it.  hahahahaha

WiP - Filofax Dashboard

A wip of a dashboard design for my filofax binder-journal. :3  It’s far from complete, I plan to throw in a ton of mushrooms and flowers and junk too, but I really like where this went. ♥

Magda Stand Alone

It’s not one of the two things I’ve been meaning to do with Magda, but it is a stepping stone in getting them done. :B  I’ve been having difficulty getting her right, so here’s a piece of her sheet I’ve decided to do.  What better way to teach yourself to draw your own character than a study sheet? Lol

I mainly wanted to nail her “main” outfit with this.  Her style is like dark-mori-meets-business, if that makes any sense.  Lots of darks, neutrals, and earthy to contrast her albino-ness.

Speaking of albino, holy shit is it hard to really nail that down.  Practice practice~  Soon she will have a proper portrait, and I’ve got a special piece in mind for a friend ;)

I ended up re-doing her almost immediately after posting the left one, so she’s…either albino or a ghost, idk lol.  It definitely closer to the mark than before, however haha.  Also, hello more in-depth shading and highlights.
