I didn’t want to make a huge deal about it, since I haven’t drawn that many pages in the last year, and anything I would have said in a retrospective I already said in that only post I made a while back, but hey, a milestone’s a milestone!
Let’s get past this mental block and get back to working on awesome comic awesomeness in this upcoming year! Woohoo!
The best part about being home for a week is getting back on a (somewhat) normal sleeping schedule.
Also, finally seeing Wreck-It Ralph with my family tomorrow morning. I am ready.
Experimenting with single-stroke lines (unless it’s a sketch, I tend to do the combined-tiny-strokes thing) + imitation pencil brush and a (mostly) lack of drawing planning. Also, headcanoning.
The things I do while working on essays, wow.
So I made a rather decisive post about wanting to do more writing, and then proceeded to just draw stuff.
Hypocrisy Time, come on grab your friends
Well, time to go to Essay Land again.
It was fun being so active?
“You’ll all be one big, happy, frozen family!”
Finn’s expression, though?! I swear, if I drew characters with eyes that weren’t just elongated dots on a normal basis, they would totally be less manic versions of eyes like this.
… oh no no no nonono i’m not saying something bad about you and i’m bad at tagging and i uh um how do i say this…. I reblogged the first one because it was really nice art but even I thought it was kind of unrealistic??? Your design was the closest to what would probably be canon and ugh i’m really sorry aaah
Augh no it’s totally fine I was just in a crappy mood last night? Though I’ll admit I was wondering what that meant. But seriously it’s okay I’M GLAD YOU LIKED THE DESIGN? Now I feel like a major jerk, wow. Yeah.
FDHNJKGFNGKN THANK?
…I just get like that sometimes, especially when I’m up late and being all stressed and crap, and then it all kinda explodes out of me and I feel a million times better after sleeping?
I am serious about the writing thing, though - I just really like writing? A lot? And I really like drawing a lot, too, but it’s not my vocation of choice? I mean, I take writing classes, it’s my major (well, English with a writing focus, which is only slightly different); I am actively setting out to improve, and with drawing things it’s just…a thing I do? Not to undervalue it, let me reemphasize that I love drawing things, otherwise I just wouldn’t draw things in the first place XD But I’m not pursuing it in the same way - its a hobby, rather than a professional interest, a lifestyle.
Hell, I’m taking a poetry class right now, and I’d totally post some if it weren’t for that internet stigma of poetry=angsty waaah teenagers. …Though I’ll probably post some anyway, now that I’ve brought it up. They’re short, I swear.
And again, it’s not like I’d stop drawing things! I like it too much, and writing and drawing sort of go hand in hand in my head? Like with SaB, for instance - I can accomplish different things through a comic than I could with a fanfic. Specifically, a comic allows me to draw even more attention to parts where there is a LACK of noise? Like, all those times when the Commander is silent (read: most of the time) would have to handled differently in a fic, and greatly glossed over because otherwise I’d be writing “The Commander said nothing” over and over again. You know, stuff like that.
It must look weird, though? I mean, I’m basically known for drawing things, and here I am talking about writing stuff? I dunno. But that’s how I feel, either way.

But-but....I like how you drew Finn there. ;A;
Thanks! :,D (Wow, this is a really late response - this was for the SaB-style Finn, right?) Admittedly, AT’s style is (and completely by coincidence, mind you) structurally similar to mine, so it’s a bit easier to transition between them?
Headcanon keeps happening! Anyway, another quick doodle I did for Kuruk.
I’ve never drawn FP before, actually, hence the, um, lack of detail?
Can you tell I’m totally over all of last night’s crappiness? Feels great.
