Hands hands hands hands han--
Was away for the weekend but found the time to do some sketching! Found some ref images I wanted to use and I'm really pleased with how they came out! Fat Fin hands and the hand of a nameless figure for scale!
Get ready to S.M.A.S.H!
Im doing a little project on my Tides blog in the form of a tournament which is called Shattered Mast's Amphitheater for Scrappers of Hyrule (aka SMASH). I loved hosting "events" on the old CDN forums but doing one is a little trickier on tumblr so Im trying to keep it as easy going as p...
Comics - Xander and Famke
Continuing with showing some older art. This one featuring two FF12 OCs, Xander and Famke. I dont think I've uploaded this before, and probably because I was too shy at the time. This was done for a friend who created Famke, and the scene was taken from a page of an X-men comic which was provide...
New Month, New Goals
IT'S OCTOBER WOOO!!!Things may not be suddenly better, but I'll take in the little joys, and I hope you all can too!Kicking this off with a new goal chart because I liked how the first one helped me keep on task. I'm happy I did most of them! So now for this month's goals! We have a ...
Turak the Bone Collector
Those who know my mass effect OCs might recognize Turak's name. I've been wanting to design my krogan into various races in the zelda universe and I thought a rito would suit Turak well. I went with a bearded vulture because it went with some themes I had for him. He's an anthropologist,...
Baby's first role play chat
I met a friend via Yahoo! Clubs back when that still existed which at the time were basically mini forums and a chat room. I just got my own computer and internet access and Ive been reading every single dbz fanfic I could get my hands on and I wanted to talk with other fans.Fearlessly dove into a c...
Wanna see some old stuff?
When Im in an art funk I look through old works. Years ago it used to make me cringe with the whole "oh god it was awful" but now it makes me happy. There was a degree of "devil may care" attitude that I lost in recent years. There was an old tumblr post that went something like "...
Overload
A little bit of vent art but, I dont know how to explain it other than it's just something that needs to happenI've been feeling overwhelmed, and it's been slowly piling up. The state of the world, worrying about my friends' safety and their well being, and trying to remind myself th...
Birthday wishes from two meaty men
Today was the birthday of a buddy, Bec-son/Becquerelsplash! Featuring their character Becquerel getting love from their other character, Saphirion, and Fat Fin >:3Bec you've been such a positive presence and I appreciate you so much! It's always a joy to chat and yell about our favorite char...
Cat Shenanigans
Last week I was making lunch after doing some work, and one of my cats was at my feet begging for some treats. I wasnt watching where he was exactly, but as soon as my foot stepped on a cat toy my brain thought "THATS HIS TAIL/PAW" and I jumped so high to avoid hurting him. I turn around and...
A few goals met, and some rambles
Let's get the rambling out!There's so many things happening in my personal life, but thankfully nothing really horrible (they do suck), just small things that seem like they're piling up. And then GESTURES AT EVERYTHING has me frazzled because I want to find joy but I secretly worry I co...
September here we go!
This month started a little rough for me. My partner and I had to take a trip with his family to see more family and it was a stressful time for all, but we pulled through together ✊then when we got home I ended up getting sick so spent most of the week resting and getting back into my old routine...
Tales of Hyrule - Chapters 7 and 8
With both chapters out now it felt like a good time to post my pieces done for our chapters along with the sketches! These last two chapters have been awesome because Werewolfsister joined Dwickery and I in the shenanigans :D I can't post their work here as it's not mine but for anyone who h...
The shenanigans continue!
More drawings I did for my zorca blog, having fun with story threads and spoiling myself by drawing my characters. Doing story/RP threads on my blog was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Which is funny because another friend once said that my account gave them the impression of an RP blog (affect...
Paprika - Seismic Activity
We're working on the next chapter of our Tales of Hyrule series and the next chapter focuses on Sardon and Sona. This particular piece doesn't happen in the chapter but it came about from some jokes Dwickery, Werewolfsister and I were tossing around. I asked if I could draw something with So...
Potential ship shenanigans
With permission I drew these pictures which feature a character named Nerissa who belongs to Myz-Wykkyd. A previous post showed Fat Fin was looking to court her. They haven't had a chance to really get to know one another besides the initial back and forth flirty banter, but I wanted to doodle s...
Shrimp Heaven
This was a little unhinged story Dwickery came up with and I wanted to illustrate it and make a post on my tides blog. He and I were talking over dinner one time about a completely unrelated topic regarding someone Cironus dated, who was a blue ringed octopus. He made the joke that "what if Ciro...
Paprika - Spicy and Sweet
Maybe a little nsfw cuz of the pick up line but other than that >> <<More self indulgent stuff. I told Chaotic that originally I was planning to draw one piece and call it a day, but now I'm locked in. I'm lost in the sauce. We're both screaming and throwing ideas at each other about the...
Stuff in the works
Here are a few things I'm working on regarding my Tide's blog. Some of these will pop up or already have appeared on the queue I set up there. I mentioned in a previous post about doing things for fun and catering to myself but I still have that battle with myself that I gotta do my best for...
Gift hunting with Fat Fin
As previously mentioned, Fat Fin is looking for gifts to send to Nerissa, you know, just doing basic courtship stuff :> He went diving for sunken treasure to pay for some deliveries (featuring werewolfsister's Xochitl) then ran off to collect other things such as dragon scales, precious stones a...
Receiving Letters
This picture was inspired by an interaction between Fat Fin and a lovely narwhal OC named Nerissa who belongs to Myz-Wykkyd! It started out as an ask meme prompt of Fat Fin sending her a love letter. Then she sent him a gift so Fat Fin has been going across Hyrule collecting gifts for her. I found o...
More zorca shenanigans
Im slowly working on character bios to post on my Tides blog. It's slow going because writing takes me a long time to do, and I get hung up with wanting to make new art for information posts like that. I gotta remind myself I'm not on a deadline! 👍This is for fun and that fun is specifica...
Paprika - The Shark and the Wolf
Sharing these with Chaotic-Zora's permission! A while ago I came to them with the idea that their OC, Thresh, and my Finn could be Exes-turned-friends for the human AU we've been working on. Then it turned out they had the exact same thought so we started bouncing ideas back and forth and I ...
Paprika (sorta?) - If looks could kill
I'D BE DEAAAAAAADThis started out as sketch practice with Fat Fin and doing expressions for fun. I liked one of them a lot and decided to ink it digitally and it came out way better than I expected and more suggestive than I expected so I added some little extra details and HERE WE GO 👌👀...
Paprika - More pin ups!
In between everything, I was taking time to indulge myself with more Fat Fin pieces. A friend also suggested Lurona pinups! I want to do more pencil sketches because I like the texture of it but I HATE how easily it smudges haha which is why I doodle with pen way more. The undressing one of Fat Fin ...
Tales from Hyrule: Chapters 5 & 6
Been busy the last few days drawing and personal life wise. The month is coming to a close and despite doing my fair share of doodles Im feeling a little scatter brained! Last week my partner and I did two chapters for our story and had a small hiatus while we ran a poll for the next part of the sto...
Tales from Hyrule - Chapters 3 & 4
Semirampant-Dwickery and I have been chugging along on our project and it's been tons of fun! We both miss writing on CDN so this has been a nice way to get back into it and get those creative zoomies out. We have a basic outline of what we wanna do with this particular story but we're hopin...
Sketches - tumblr shenanigans
When receiving asks on tumblr its fun to answer with drawings. There were a few times when I opened requests and I was pleased with the response! I want to try that here as well. Have a set time when requests are open and see if anyone would like to ask for something C:In the meantime here are all t...
Sketches and small updates
Happy July...or as happy as you can be. The beginning started off really rough, and I kind of crashed out after a weekend outing with family. While it was a nice distraction from everything, it was a LOT of socializing that I wasn't ready to handle so when we came back home I was totally fried. ...
Help Im obsessed with this human AU
Ive been exchanging ideas with a friend every so often and my brain has been zooming with the scenarios that have been spilling forth. And I also colored that sketchy piece of Thresh and Finn at the Waffle House ✊ Chaotic-zora brought up that human!Thresh was once a cage match fighter, so we discu...
