Sure, brain. It's roasting, so NOW you want me to draw. *lol*

A four panel, digital comic page featuring the artist's avatar character, who is a dark teal creature with long, rabbit-like ears, large cyan eyes that have no pupils and small, claw-like fingers at the end of stubby arms. Their body has several cyan lines like a circuit pattern across it. Panel 1 features a view of the sky, which is cloudless, bright blue and has a bright sun shining down. The sound effect "Sizzle" is written in wavy white letters, indicating that it is very hot. Panel 2 features the avatar character, lying miserably on top of their bed as they sweat and whine with an "Uuuurgh…" about how hot it is. Panel 3 features a cartoony cut-away to look inside their head, showing a maniacal brain waving around a tablet stylus as it screams "AT LAST!! The conditions are correct!! Time!! FOR ART!!" Panel 4 depicts the character foolishly drawing on their tablet, which is blazing with fire from the heat and disintegrating them to ash as they work. The tablet has a disgusted face as it exclaims "WTF?! Why are you like this?!" In the background there is a loosely scribbled sound effect text saying "FWOOSH".

Speaking of old art, I was looking through some files and found THIS.

I have no idea where the original went to continue on it. Might have been lost to a flood or something. Honestly don't know. :(

I might have to see if I can motivate myself to redo it digitally at some point.

#Art #AzullaArt
An unfinished illustration of various characters from videogames, cartoons and comics all attending a fair or festival of some kind. There are tent-like stalls lining a path into the background, featuring fairground games or food on sale. High above is a line of fairy lights, and in the background there are trees. There is text in pale blue that reads "Still very much a WIP" scrawled across it, and most of the image is still in sketchy pencil format, with lots of detail being unclear as a result.

Found an old sketch and decided to ink and colour it. Then decided to go over it digitally because I need more practice using my tablet. I finally learned how to rotate the canvas with touch strips *lol*

Urban nature loving reptile/iguana/alligator skulled thingamibob. :D

#art #AzullaArt
An illustration of an anthropomorphic reptile of indeterminate species, created with alcohol markers and pigment inks. She is a dull green in colour with long golden spines running along her back and tail, and long, pale claws on her hands and feet. Her head is an alligator skull, with a long, wavy crest in purple and pink. She wears a punk-like outfit, consisting of a sleeveless, grey top that features a green silhouette of a mouse's head, and some torn and dirty jeans. She has various tattoos on her person; a rat on her left arm, a spider on her right wrist, and some dandelions on her right ankle. She also has various trinkets on her person, such as beads and charms. She is sitting, looking to the left. On her right knee resides a large wasp, and on her left leg sits a pigeon. The background is white, with some perforation marks and rings from the page it was drawn on visible on the far left. A digital illustration of an anthropomorphic reptile of indeterminate species.

There is also wobbly text that reads "Urban Nature". To the right, near the bottom, are three black crescents, with a splattering of what looks like black paint. The background is a solid, mid-tone grey.

It's been beautiful lately so I took a little trip over to Helensburgh with a friend to enjoy it.

We saw a ship from the naval base as we sat by the beach, collected some neat sea glass ( and a bit of sea pottery ), and then had some custard cream flavour ice cream, which was delicious. :D
A photograph looking out across the River Clyde from Helensburgh. It is a beautiful, sunny day, with bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds drifting by. The water is calm, and toward the horizon are rolling green hills. There are yachts, tug boats and a larger, grey naval boat drifting along the river. Two people at the coast shield their eyes as they watch the large ship pass by. Toward the foreground at the bottom of the image is a grey, concrete walkway overlooking a rocky beach. A collection of pieces of sea glass in varying hues of white, green and brown, arranged neatly on a piece of brown card. There is also a shard of ceramic, with stripes of light and dark brown running along it.

Another little Sonic on another bit of scrap. The ink bled a fair bit on this one. Tried to cover some of it up with thicker lines but I think that made it worse. Oh well!

What is he so shocked about? I'm not sure. I just wanted to draw a cartoony overreaction!

#Art #AzullaArt #SonicTheHedgehog
An illustration of Sonic the Hedgehog, created with alcohol ink markers, and pigment fineliners, with highlights done with a white posca paint marker. Sonic is screetching to a sudden halt, arms in the air and mouth wide open as he is looking in cartoonish shock at something unseen to the right. There is no background.

Here's a quick little Sonic I did on some scrap card as practice.

Casually collecting emblems and a random platform decided to turn into this nightmare *lol*

( I could probably fix all this, I know, but I find it funny )
A screenshot from the game Sonic Adventure 2. This screenshot features the Hidden Base level for Tails, which consists of sandy dunes, red rectangle platforms covered in yellow hieroglyphs and distant statues of ancient Echidnas. To the left of this image is a wall of black and grey glitchy lines stretching up toward the top of the screen. In the distance, there is a shadow where a platform should have loaded but has instead presumably become the glitch wall of nightmares.

Beat Hero story!

Moving onto Dark story and um... oh dear. XD;
A screenshot from the videogame Sonic Adventure 2. The image is from a cutscene early in the game, featuring an area aboard Space Colony ARK. To the left is what appears to be a futuristic console comprised of silver panels, screens and buttons, and in the background there is a view into space. The character Maria is the focus of the image who is leaning on the console with both hands. However, her texture files seem to have failed to load, and is instead a dark human-shaped silhouette with tiny white spots where her eyes are supposed to be. The effect is somewhat unnerving. There is text at the bottom that reads "For all the people... on that planet..."

Felt a little nostalgic earlier and booted up SA2, but forgot to set my refresh rate to 60hz beforehand.

Hilarity ensued. XD;

Also after I fixed that, I had a whole thing where Sonic was being haunted by a tram hovering over his head for half of City Escape hahaha.
A screenshot of the videogame Sonic Adventure 2. The image features the level City Escape, which is a mostly grey, concrete setting with occasional pops of greenery in the form of grass patches or leaves. Here, Sonic is standing with his back to the camera, on a platform overlooking a distant stairway. For reasons that defy all logic, above his head floats the underside of a tram comprised of metal sheets, rivets and wheels. Why is it there? Nobody knows. Maybe it also wants to escape from the city.

I've finally gotten around to giving Monster Hunter World a go, and instead of hunting said monsters I've spent most of my time so far just wandering about looking at things. XD

The first area is giving me such Jungle PSO vibes. I love it.
A screenshot from the video game Monster Hunter: World. The image is of a lush jungle area full of vines, roots and grasses with distant, thick foliage obscuring most of the sky. There is a shaft of bright sunlight beaming in from a patch above the canopy, creating spots of vibrant light amidst the dull, murky undergrowth. To the left sits the player's hunter character, glancing toward the camera.

It's time for that almost yearly tradition of mine to do a little drawing of Christmas NiGHTS.

This is on a tiny, postcard-sized piece of card so I couldn't fit too much detail in there, but it was fun!

#art #AzullaArt #NiGHTSintoDreams
A photograph of a small illustration of NiGHTS, created with pigment liners and alcohol markers. NiGHTS is wearing their Christmas themed outfit, comprising of a largely red, Santa-like ensemble, with fluffy white trim at the end of their jester hat, collar, cuffs and boots. They are floating calmly by the top of a tall fir or spruce tree, using their outstretched palms to create a golden, five-point star at its tip. In the background there are less defined silhouettes of more trees, some also with stars at the top, indicating NiGHTS is traveling around bringing a little sparkle to the woodlands. The sky is a deep blue, with a scattering of small, white stars across it.

Been playing a lot of Monster Hunter Rise with my friends lately and felt like doing a little quick doodle of this ludicrous kitten.

#Art #AzullaArt #MonsterHunter #Magnamalo
A digital illustration of a Magnamalo, an enemy creature from the Monster Hunter series of video games. Magnamalo is a large, mostly purple beast resembling a big cat. It is heavily armoured, with yellow antler-like decorations over its forehead, giving it the appearance of perhaps a monstrous samurai. In this drawing, Magnamalo is portrayed in a very cartoony and loose style, from the shoulders up. It is wearing a rather mischievous expression as it clutches its claws like clasped hands, jovially exclaiming via a hand-written speech bubble, "I feel like ruining someone's life, today!"

Yesterday was a rare Nice Day around these parts, so I decided to spend it in the park and fruit orchard. I got to see baby ducks :D
A photograph taken during a walk through a local fruit tree orchard. It is a beautiful summer's day, with a bright blue sky and numerous white fluffy clouds drifting by. The orchard itself is vibrant and green, with a tall treeline in the distance. The ground is thickly grassy and has been allowed to grow wild, with young fruit trees and bramble bushes scattered amidst. A photograph looking down toward a body of water. The water is rippling and reflecting the blues and dull greens of the sky and plants around it. The focus of the photograph is a mother Mallard duck swimming by, with eight fluffy ducklings trailing behind her. The ducks are all varying shades of mottled light to dark brown.

A doodle of BIG FISH, one of my current mains on PSO. My friends keep calling him a Garanz. So mean. XD

...Why did I decide to try and draw a robot *lol*

#art #AzullaArt #PhantasyStarOnline #PSOBB
A digital illustration of a RAcast, a type of player character from the retro sci-fi video game Phantasy Star Online. He is a bulky robot who's most prominent features are wide, amoured shoulders and a tall fin-like protrusion from his head. He has no visible mouth, yet appears to give the impression of smiling. He is depicted from the chest up, with his left arm bent, and hand forming a finger pistol, referencing the idea that he is a ranged attack character who specialises in guns. His other arm is obscured behind a blocky, cartoony hand-written text that displays his name: BIG FISH. His primary colourscheme is largely teal and orange, with some spots of light grey and a dark grey camo print. His eyes are yellow. Behind him is a green hexagon with the words Big Fish repeated across it in the Phantasy Star Online font.

Nooooo these things are why I hate the Mines XD;
A screenshot from the retro sci-fi online game, Phantasy Star Online. The image takes place in the Mines 2 area of the game, which is a dilapidated factory-like setting full of rooms with an industrial feel to them, with metal panels, pipes and grates. Everything is cracked or otherwise looking to have been damaged at some point in time, with the odd flickering light source here and there. The overall colour scheme is that of a dull green to teal gradient with pops of bright blue. The focus of this screenshot is of the player character, a humanoid wearing a purple outfit. They are fleeing toward the camera from a Garanz, which is a large, almost rectangular and heavily armoured combat robot. The robot is right behind the fleeing character, chasing them down with murderous intent.

I felt inspired, so have a quick doodle.

#art #AzullaArt #PSOBB #PhantasyStarOnline
A digital illustration of a Pal Shark, an enemy from the videogame Phantasy Star Online. The Pal Shark is a brownish purple creature with scaly skin and a large, wedge-shaped head that sports a teal-coloured dorsal fin atop. It has three circular, yellow eyes in a row, a horn on its nose and pointed spikes roughly where its shoulders should be. It's arms are long and thin, and end in a glowing magenta sickle instead of hands or claws. This Pal Shark is drawn in a cartoonish style, and from the waist up. It has an angry frowny face, and there is hand written text that reads "I'm not your pal. (shark)" The illustration and text have a thick, magenta border around it, and the background is a flat dark grey.

It's been actual decades since I first played PSO, but I still get that giddy little 'Yay! :D' feeling when a red item drops.

( It's like my fifth Blade Dance but I'm not letting that spoil the moment *lol* )
A screenshot of the retro sci-fi online videogame, Phantasy Star Online. The image is of the Forest 2 area of the game, with a dull, overcast sky overlooking a place of dirt, grass and the reddened stains of fallen enemies, with cracked and peeling grey walls and a distant, angular building in a state of disrepair in the background. It is raining lightly, adding to the moody atmosphere. The player character stands near the center of the image, back to the viewer as they look to a little red box in front of them, signifying that one of the enemies has dropped a mysterious rare item upon its defeat.

Since I feel like I've been kicked in the shin after my fall, I decided to give that random old comic page a lick of colour over the past few nights to pass the time/ignore the pain.

Old art is old and I'm out of practice, but it was fun!
Still no idea what happened to the other pages. XD;
A digital art comic with 5 panels featuring 2 characters, Martin and Kail. Kail is describing the pair's jobs in response to an unseen incident that took place shortly before this image's events. She's being obnoxious about it, whilst Martin mostly looks on in varying levels of annoyance. The background in all panels is of a night time, snowy landscape, with soft aurora and sparkling stars in the deep blue sky. Panel dialogue: 1: Kail: "You. Are the Observer." 2: Kail: "Your job is to blend into the background, avoid human detection and report any unusual activity in their mindscape. Kinda creepy, really!" 3: Kail: "I. Am the illustrious Engager." 4: Kail: "My job is to establish contact with the source of that activity and stab it in the face. Or closest approximation..." 5: Martin: "But that creature is native to this mindscape!" Kail: "Then I guess ONE of us isn't doing their job! Tut tut!"

Found this old, unfinished page of what was going to be a character introduction comic for my dudes. This was page 4 or 5 if I recall but I haven't found the rest. It's from early 2019, and it shows!

...Alt text for comic pages is hard with the character limit. I tried!

Decided to finally try a PSOBB private server, and giving Ephinea a go.

Was a bit fiddly getting it to run at first, but seems to work pretty well, now. :D
A screenshot from the game Phantasy Star Online. It features a purple-clad elf-like character standing in an opening, with grass, trees and dirt paths surrounding them. The sky is bright and blue, giving the appearance of a warm, sunny day. The character is holding a photon saber in one hand as they face the camera. Above, to the top left, is a blue panel containing information such as their name - Wister -, as well as their current level, HP and TP status. To the top right is a simple area map comprised of a featureless grey shape, with green indicators for doors, and a red indicator for player position. To the bottom of the screen is a row of hexagons to place actions into, as well as a group of hexagons to the bottom right featuring actions mapped to the game controller.

A little drawing I did of Christmas NiGHTS that I didn't get finished til a few moments ago. I wish I could have got a better photo but it's already dark out so the lighting in here is crap. XD;

Enjoy!

NiGHTS is in their Christmas garb, which is red and pink with white, fluffy trim at the end of their hat, collar, boots and cuffs. They are floating with their arms spread, and gazing happily toward the viewer with an open mouthed smile. Behind them are simple stars and circles in orange, green, blue and pink like an explosion of confetti.

Doodled this pic of Metal Sonic whilst my friends and I were having Very Serious Discussions about D&D, Final Fantasy and bands we liked in the early 2000s.

I used an entire gel pen on this and didn't get home til after 7am. XD;

#art #SonicTheHedgehog
A photograph of an ink illustration of Metal Sonic done on a scrap of pale green, lined card. Metal Sonic is depicted floating toward the left between a group of vertical metal bars. The bars closest to the viewer appear to have been broken, with parts missing, perhaps sliced by Metal himself. The image has no colour, being a purely black ink illustration. Behind the image are several other cards of lined paper in green and yellow, and the wooden surface of the table, which itself is covered in stickers depicting various cakes and flowers.

I tried doing a comic once, just to see if I could. This was my favourite panel to draw. Needly teefs!

I'd have posted the full page, but try as I might I couldn't condense a description of it enough to fit into the alt text character limit ( I am bad at describing things, but I'm trying *lol* )
A panel from a comic page depicting the main character, a humanoid individual known as Kail who wears blue and silver modern-looking armour and a glowing green halo across her eyes. She is looking up uncertainly into the terrifying, needly toothed maw of a creature in shadow as it threatens with its long, coiling tongue that drips with a glowing yellow slime. There is a small speech bubble that says "Uh..."

There are some pale blue sparkles floating near their hands. The background is solid white.

I made a 'draw a horrible creature' text generator on perchance years ago to give myself prompts when I was feeling art blocky. This is probably my favourite thing I drew using it. Spooky moth!

#art
A digital drawing of a creepy, moth-like entity hovering in a spooky forest. The moth is a wispy black sillhouette in the centre of the image, with two dangling, spindly limbs hanging down. Near its rear hangs several chains ending in cogs. It is staring at the viewer with glowing blue eyes and a jagged pink smile. Behind the moth's wings is a soft purple glow. The moth is surrounded by black tree trunks of varying thickness, and behind everything is a simple gradient of deep red to dusty purple.
