First day of the #penstore :3 got sennelier acrylic paint. I think it’s cadmium red. They don’t seem to have this size on the site so I’m presuming that this tube cost around $1.
Two photos the top one is an open lid of an advent calendar with a tube of paint under it. The other photo is of the same tube and a painted red apple with black line art and a with dot to make the apple look glossy.

Woop! Will be opening up an art tool advent calendar from #penstore this year too! Hoping to have more time this year to actually do more than just an eye each day but we’ll see. I’m studying right now so won’t know until then how much time I will have. Am also working on a comic right now. :3

Y'all want to support trans rights *and* ride a dragon?
wiswell.bsky.social John Wiswell @wiswell.bsky.social · May 7
My next novel is about a grumpy dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon riding academy.

So here is my auction item: I'll tuckerize the winning bidder as a dragon rider in the book.

I love my trans siblings.

Second night of insomnia. Spent this one with my brain writing a key scene in, not my current MS, not the next book I have to write after that, but the third one in the queue.

OH MY GOD there were two foxes shagging in the garden and they're stuck. They keep fighting in a effort to get apart and then just standing there like "oh shit".
Two foxes facing away from one another but basically stuck groin to groin with legs and tails crossing. As ridiculous as it sounds

I haven’t been posting here much lately. ^^;; been busy with work and my class (and the weather). The class ends in March so I will have more time then. :3 Have decided to name Rou and Zalt’s comic “Frostholt Mysteries”. The first “case” is called “Mantle of Snow”. :3

my goal for 2025 is to level up my pixel art skills and build my up my portfolio!

oh, meet Jim.

Jim's going to serve as a base template I can use to experiment with characters and learning animation :D

👀 what's your art goal this year?

#PixelArt #Aseprite #DigitalArt
Pixel art body shape studies showing four sets of masculine and feminine humanoid forms in a standing neutral pose, with one singular skeleton form in the centre of the image. Top left: "Trim Jim" - bodies with an average healthy shape. Top right: "Gym Jim" - very muscular bodies with little body fat. Bottom left: "Slim Jim" - slender bodies with little fat or muscle. Bottom right: "Chin Jim" - large, chubby, overweight bodies. Middle: "Grim Jim" - a skeleton. Each are around 16 pixels wide and 48 pixels tall, and there are only 5 colours used in total (walnut brown, warm brown, ochre, sepia, and cream).

Woop! The #penstore advent calendar also had a 20% coupon that I took advantage off and bought Xmas gifts for me and my sibling. XD; This is my gift to myself. It arrived today. :) (ordered on the 23rd) hoho, I’m gonna paint the characters from my comics when the programming classes are finished. :)

Did a quick sketch of Rou’s cottage. One of the main characters in one of the comics that I’m working on. :3
A cottage with a secret room, lots of book cases and the kitchen is used to cook food and for potion making. It’s a pretty fancy cottage as it has a water closet which is a bit uncommon in this world but it’s getting more common with indoor plumbing, at least for the rich people.

The last day of the #Penstore advent calendar! Happy Holidays everyone! …if I remember next year (or can afford it, I will hopefully be studying full time next year) I will be getting this advent calendar again. I thought it was worth it. :3
Four photos, the first is the lid of day 24 of the calendar, the second is the opened lid and three tubes of acrylic paint inside (blue, red & yellow). The third is the tubes on a white table, the last photo is of an eye (blue iris, blue eyeliner, orange eyeliner and yellow eyeliner on the outside and brown purpleish eyebrow) and 4 hearts and a couple of green leaves and purple berries with the brush hovering over the painting. All “24” items (did get 3 paint tubes on the 24th) from the calendar laying on the back of the cardboard box that the calendar came in.

Wooop! After today it’s only one more day left of the #Penstore advent calendar. …Today it’s a brush. Would’ve been nice to get that before all the water and acrylic paints…well. Sure I have brushes. But not everyone do. Used the cobalt blue paint from Zig Kuretake again. :3
Four photos, the first is the lid of day 23 of the calendar, the second is the opened lid and the brush inside. The third is the brush on a white table, the last photo is of an eye and 23 hearts with the brush hovering over the painting.
