I made my boys play the Pocky Game.

#OC #OriginalCharacter #OriginalArt #Illustration #Pocky #PockyDay #一次創作 #イラスト #ポッキー #ポッキーの日
Cortez and Manny have accidentally got themselves into playing the Pocky Game. Both are blushing and have surprised expressions on their faces. Cortez is holding the assumedly empty Pocky box. The scene takes places at a park bench in a sunset with a pink sky. Did it just get gay in here?

Unexpected Hangout

#OC #OriginalCharacter #Illustration #OriginalArt #一次創作 #イラスト
Manny on the right is in a living room relaxing on a purple couch with pillows. There’s a bowl of chips on his lap along with a bag of them beside him. Three soda cans are on the floor abd two of them are laying on their side. Next to Manny is a boy wearing round glasses (I haven’t figured out his name yet). He has platinum blond hair and is wearing a pink shirt along with blue jeans cuffed below his knees. He has an anxious expression on his face with a sweatdrop running down his cheek possibly because he’s terrified of Manny (he fears Nanny may try to beat him up). The boy with round glasses is holding a bag of veggie straws and there is a bottle of iced tea on the floor with a logo saying Crisp Iced Tea below him. Behind the two boys are paintings on the wall. One is in a golden frame and it depicts a blue ocean. Another one is in a wooden frame and depicts leaves in the autumn season.

What's your "artist red flag"? 🚩

- I take forever to finish an illustration unless I have a strict deadline to meet.

- I can very easily suffer from burnout.

- I’m a huge perfectionist.

- Perspective is super confusing to learn for me.

- A lot of my color choices are based on vibes.

What’s your “artist red flag” ? 🚩

I rely a lot on paper textures.

I don't name my layers, even use folders.

I get a burnout easily.

What’s your “artist red flag” ? 🚩

I REFUSE to learn color theory so i just abuse the multiply/add layer for shading and highlights

I also don't even name my layers for the most part. Hell, I DON'T NAME MY FILES!

Those are a few of the numerous artist red flags i got rn 🤣🤣🤣

This was a very hard lesson that I had to learn. The reason I was like that when I started out with art was due to a few art classes giving me a bad experience, very high standards, and bad mental health. It’s important to know that every artist with amazing art skills all started from square one.

A thing that fucks people up is the refusal to take babysteps in doing something they suck at.

Instead of starting where they can, and gradually improving, they just get frustrated that they're not already good at it and never even start.

Bad Boy

#OC #OriginalCharacter #OriginalArt #Illustration #一次創作 #イラスト #男子 #少年 #キャラクター
My OC Manny in a squatting pose holding his bat with an intimidating look on his face. The background is an old brick building that has graffiti tags shaped like ghosts with X marks on the eyes. There are two paint spray cans that say Spray: Acrylic Paint on them. One can on the left of Manny is lying on its side while the one on the tight is standing straight up. Both cans have their covers removed.

Hey! Sorry for the sudden absence on this account. I was working on a silent manga project alongside a fangame project and I got very exhausted from creating stuff. I think I’m now mostly recovered so I’ll be posting more art on here very soon.

I don’t normally post traditional art on here, but I did like these pen doodles of my OCs. I’m trying to see if I can make an interesting story with these two boys. They’re kind of like exact opposites of each other.

#OC #OriginalCharacter #OriginalArt #Doodles #Sketches #一次創作 #落書き #デッサン #オリジナル
Pen doodles of my OCs done in notebook paper. It feature two doodles of my delinquent boy alongside another character who happens to be more of a studious and timid boy. He is holding a book with a nervous look while the delinquent has a more fighting stance, which can show his more aggressive personality.

Ok fine I’ll give this OC stuff another try. Doodles of an original character I’ve been working on for quite a bit. Possibly for a one-shot. He doesn’t have a name yet.

#OriginalArt #OriginalCharacter #OC #Doodles #Sketches #一次創作 #落書き #デッサン #オリジナル
Digital sketches of an Original Character I’ve been drawing for quite a bit. He is supposed to be kind of like a delinquent character who uses a gray baseball bat as his main weapon. His clothing is a leather jacket with a red hoodie and blue jeans. He wears a bandana that has a blue and red stripe pattern with a star at the center. There’s also a small bandage covering his left cheek. He has a one side hairstyle going to the right side of his face and is colored brown like his eyes. Lastly, his skin tone is a light brown.

This is something I had to come to terms with.

Trying to land an art career is very difficult. I would often think my art was bad because it didn’t gain an audience within the 7 years I posted on social media. Add to the fact that I’m a socially awkward person so it gets even harder for me.

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it"

No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts.

there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

Post an old #illustration you still like. ✨

I still have a huge soft spot for this one even though this was created 4-5 years ago.
