This isn’t how I normally post, but I wanted to share my old Red. A stray cat picked up off a farm who adored eating at the dinner table and long towel baths in desert summers. She passed at 15 in 2023 after a long life of infamy and good fortune and enamoring all who met her… I still miss her
An old phone photo of a fluffy-furred ginger cat seated neatly and looking like a loaf of bread on a heavy-duty mud room rug. In the fading light of a house at dusk, her eyes sparkle and she sits with her paws neatly and politely in front of her.

Things have been rough for what seems like a lot of folks lately. So here, have a guy who's proud of you and believes in you

#art #drawing #sketch #CharacterArt #OriginalCharacter #OCArt #OCSky #ClipStudioPaint #DigitalArt #ArtistsOnBsky #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
A sketch of a man. He has a heavy brow-line, droopy teardrop eyes, a large nose, a bushy mustache with curled ends, and thinned feathery hair on the back of his head. He’s smiling profusely, and you can tell because his cheeks are pressed up past his emoting mustache and his eyes are smiling as well. He's so joyous he's sparkling with it.

To combat the weariness of your scrolling, have some nice and fresh design sketches! What do you think of their outfits?

#art #drawing #sketch #CharacterArt #OriginalCharacter #OCArt #OCSky #ClipStudioPaint #DigitalArt #ArtistsOnBsky #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
Three digital sketch iterations of a character's haircut and evening wear. The subject is a fat bat femme lounging casually and looking over their left shoulder with a neutral but slightly disinterested expression. The sketches all have the same pose and expression, but each one has a different haircut and different clothes: the left shows hair and dress inspired by Dolly Parton in "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas", the middle shows hair and dress inspired by Dr Frank N Furter from "Rocky Horror Picture Show", and the right seems to be unclothed and has short, dark, close-cut hair. Four digital sketch iterations of a character's wardrobe. The subject is a little man who's bald on top but has wispy stringy shoulder-length hair, a thick curling mustache as opposed to any eyebrows, and teardrop-like eyes accentuated by large eyebags and dark circles scowling with a sternly furrowed naked brow and holding his left arm bowed at the chest to hold a towel nestled in the crook of his elbow. The sketches all have the same pose and expression, but each one has different clothes: the one on the furthest left is inspired by Riff Raff from "Rocky Horror Picture Show"; the one in the center-left is a more traditional suit and tailcoat with the shapes of the bowtie, collar, and vest inspired by bats; the one on the center-right mixes together the bat-inspired shapes of the center-left and exaggerates the collar to be more like horns, and the tie is now a flat ribbon tie; the one on the furthest right has the open-chested look of the furthest left mixed with the tailcoat and bat-inspired shapes of the center left.

A job interview that goes... unconventionally. I almost have this clean-up process figured out! (Both pages are included here.)

#art #comic #comics #comicoop #ComicArt #ComicPage #DigitalArt #ArtistsOnBsky #ClipStudioPaint
A digitally-drawn comic page. A little ghostly man with combed-up bat-wing hair, red cat's-eye glasses, and a mechanical crane-claw arm is seated in a green chair for a job interview with a nametag labeling him as "Dr V". He puts on the tag as one of the interviewers asks "Can y'explain these gaps in yer résumé, doctor?" He looks up with big eyes and asks "Hm?" as another interviewer asks "The gaps in your résumé, doctor... why are there so many?" The doctor freezes and his eyes shrink wildly as he clenches his hands and mumbles "Ah... Yes, well..." The doctor proceeds to elaborate, and none of it sounds promising. "My creations are... poorly-behaved..." he muses, as the first large panel shows a froggy homunculus having bitten off someone's hand. "So much so that I've pioneered at least two sciences about this," he muses, as the second large panel shows two little mouse pointer hands pointing to newspaper front pages with one having a headline about "Evil Science Destroys" with the headliner photo being a city engulfed in flames and the other having a headline about "Weird Science!" with the headliner photo being a severed hand being sewn onto an arm. "Whaaat elllsse..." he muses, continuing, "Because of said notorious scientific feats, I've been barred from ever visiting charnal vaults. One of my many nicknames just so happens to be 'Dr Sawbones'... but that was ONE! TIME!" The third panel shows several posters, which read "Boneyard Ahead", "NO ENTRY", and a poster with the doctor's face on it that says "Have you seen this man? Do not let him in!" A digitally-drawn comic page. Two men -one white with black hair and dressed a bit piratey with an open poet shirt and a red bandana and seated at a desk (that has a cup of tea, a manila folder, and a lamp on it) and the other a pale lilac-colored man with white hair and cut-off horns and in a plum suit seated in a green chair next to the desk- listen to the ramblings of a man they're interviewing to see if he'd be good to hire. The piratey man has his hands together and on the desk, and the lilac man has a hand to the side of his face and the other tucked under that arm with his legs crossed: both are in open-mouth shock. While the interviewee rambles, the lilac man looks curiously over at the piratey man, whose cat-like pupils have expanded and he starts squealing at an increasing volume. The piratey man launches up from his seat and shouts "You're hired!!!" while offering his large clawed hand to shake to a little ghostly man in a green chair seated in front of the desk: the objects on the desk all fly slightly at the vigor with which the large man has stood up, and the lilac man and little ghostly man jump in their seats and lean back.

A portrait of a dead man... and not an emotionally supportive dead man, either.

#art #drawing #illustration #CharacterArt #OriginalCharacter #OCArt #OCSky #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
A digital illustration of a funeral portrait. The portrait depicts an old white man with graying- to stark-white hair, high cheekbones, a chiseled jaw, and a cleft chin in a deliberately ambiguous green hunting fatigue with a rifle strapped to his back. Matching buttons on his collar depict eerie eyes, and the frame the portrait is in has the same eyes at each cardinal point. The background of the painting looks like slow-burning flames, and he's silhouetted by burning light.

There’s a second page to this, but this is all that’s presentable from that page yet

#art
A rough sketch of a long-faced older man with a pouty lower lip, two horns cut and capped, and sharp, defined cheekbones in a state of wide-eyed and open-mouthed disbelief. He’s staring forward and has his hand pointed and resting against his face as he processes shock and awe.

Trying to make more finished work, so here’s a peek of what I’m going to have ready this week for y’all! He might be blowing this job interview…

#art #drawing #comics #CharacterArt #ComicArt #ComicPanel #WIPArt
A full-color comic panel of a ghostly older white man with a prosthetic claw arm in a lab coat and red cat’s-eye glasses sweating and eyes beady as he dodges a question while mumbling “Ah… Yes, well…”.

No thoughts today, have this tired lil old butler in some pajamas

#art #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #CharacterArt #OriginalCharacter #OCArt #OCSky #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
A sketchbook drawing. It’s of an aged old man who’s bald on top but has a scruffy head of hair, a thick curling mustache as opposed to any eyebrows, and drooping eye-bags. He’s wearing flannel pajamas and a stocking cap with a fuzzy pom on the end, and his brow is furrowed tightly with his eyes still closed like he’s just woken up.

A page of sketchbook drawings. They’re mostly of an aged old man who’s bald on top but has a scruffy head of hair, a thick curling mustache as opposed to any eyebrows, and drooped eyes. His drawn faces on the page range primarily from stern to concerned, and smaller rough sketches show drafts of a suit that will fit his small stature.

#art #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #CharacterArt #CharacterDesign #OCArt #OCSky #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
A page of sketchbook drawings. They’re all of an older large fat man with long, dark, and greased-back hair and muttonchops with an eyepatch and facial scars. The expressions range from pleased to surprised and surly to dismissive. The drawing in the bottom-right corner shows part of his torso and arms as he’s scowling, and he’s wearing a scoop-neck tank top.

Behold the christening art of a new sketchbook. I found a LOT of comfort zones with this one… haven’t had this much fun in ages!

#art #drawing #sketchbook #CharacterArt #PinupArt #beefcake #BearPinup #QueerOC #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
A sketchbook drawing of a broad, hairy musclefat bear of a hypermasc trans man. He has long and dark grayed hair in the form of a mane of hair and a beard and copious wavy curls of fur-like hair across his body, and eye’s like a serpent’s. In this drawing, he’s reclined: he has no shirt, his pants are kept on mostly by his own weight, and a long length of fabric that was being used for a belt is cast aside. His nipples and navel are pierced with large crooked rings that look like the ones put in cattle’s noses to lead them about. He has an impressive set of horns on his head, and he’s ogling the camera with hooded eyes and a bitten lip: a speech bubble shaped like a puff of air has a dark heart in it. There’s a healed-over skin transplant scar on his left forearm, and he has what appears to be an erection.

#art #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #CharacterArt #OCSky #TransOC #QueerArt #PinupArt #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
A sketchbook drawing of a broad, hairy muscle-fat bear of a hypermasc trans man. He has long and dark grayed hair, and eyes like a serpent’s. In this drawing, he has no shirt and his loose pants are only barely secured by a wrapped fabric belt. He has nipple rings and a navel ring reminiscent of the rings put in cattle’s noses, a well-moisturized and flowing beard that cascades down to his broad chest, and a bandana tied around the top of his head: he’s got a little knowing smile, like he knows what he’s doing with himself.

Windows and doors! …at least, rough designs for them. I’m thinking of having the arches being above some of the doorframes instead, but what do you think?

#art #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #SetDesign #ArchitectureDesign #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
A sketchbook page of rough window designs. Many of the windows are rectangles that vary in height and width and have segments of long panes offset by a section of small panes. A sketchbook page of rough door designs. They are all rectangles of varying height and width, but they have small differences in the sizes and arrangements of panels on them.

Finally relocated safely, but my permanent place isn’t ready so it’s still sketchbook drawings for y’all for a few weeks. Have this lovely fat bat!

#art #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #CharacterArt #OCSky #QueerOC #TransOC #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
A page of sketchbook drawings of a fat bat he/him femme. He has large, slightly off-kilter eyes, lips that seem to naturally pout, and a copious amount of hair. In the topmost drawing, he’s smiling and winking towards the viewer. The middle-left drawing shows him from the bust up wearing a tank top and looks indifferent about something. The middle-right drawing, which is incomplete, has his eyes wide open and he shows wordless yet obvious curiosity about something invisible to us. The drawing on bottom has his brows bent and smile shaped like he’s about to be a menace with no regrets.

#art #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #CharacterArt #OCSky #HowToGetOverYourSexondExHusband
A sketchbook drawing of a fat hairy older man from almost the waist-up. He’s absolutely covered in thick, dark, wavy body hair; has long greasy dark hair; large graying muttonchops; and an an eyepatch over his right eye and a tired dark ring under his one good eye. On his left bicep is a large scar of some sort, and over said scar is a pinup tattoo of a fat femme.

A screenshot of the memories page from the Undertale website. It’s a black website page with white accents and text. The text box shows Mettaton EX as the speaker, and the caption is labelled as “buddyfromearth”. The text in the text box is a testament as to how Undertale impacted the writer’s life, and reads as follows: “Undertale was the first place I saw queerness handled with kindness, and the visuals remain as inspiring now as they was/were then. I wouldn’t be who I am today without Undertale.”

Of course I'm using my artistic powers for good. Sure, it's hand-crafted shitposts to try and get people invested in my projects, but it's better than not drawing anything at all!

A digital illustration of a broad, hairy musclefat bear of a hypermasc trans man with long dark grayed hair and eyes with the color of embers in a fire posing in the nude with his back facing the viewer and his head turned to face his right side. He is silhouetted with dramatic lighting, and the way it all falls highlights his rather shapely ass: said ass's left cheek has a tattoo of an anatomically correct heart in grayscale with an "x" across its form.

A pencil drawing of a fat, hairy he/him bat femme. He has thick curling hair on his head, and it cascades down his chest and shoulders. He has a dark mustache and a small beard, both patchy, and pince nez glasses. He’s looking over his shoulder with a slightly pouting lip, and he’s propping himself up with the arm closest to us.

#art #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband #TransOC #OC #OCSky #CharacterArt
A blue pencil bust drawing of a fat hairy he/him bat femme. He has thick curling hair on his head and face that goes down his neck and chest, and smiles softly and knowingly at the viewer with half-lidded eyes. A set of blue-pencil waist-up sketchbook drawings of a hypermasculine trans man. He's got long and billowing curly hair that cascades down his neck and chest in the form of a long mane and a bear, a curled mustache, eyebrows fluffed and combed up for dramatic effect, serpent-like eyes, and a very broad bearish torso. One drawing in profile shows he has fawn-like ears; another shows multiple scars across his chest (two for top surgery and one for a ceremonial carving); one shows him hissing and donning black lipstick.

A very droll and very dead man, and the big old house he left his spouse. The estate is appreciated by the spouse: the dead husband, not so much.

#art #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #OriginalArt #SetDesign #ComicDevelopment #HowToGetOverYourSecondExHusband
A digital sketch of a portrait in a frame decorated with wide-open unsettling snake eyes. The portrait's subject is an older man with bushy white hair in late-Victorian explorer's clothing who appears a bit too confident and cocky to be posing with no mischievous intent, with an eyebrow raised and the flash of a toothy smile visible underneath a thick mustache with the tips curled upward. He has a hunting rifle strapped to his back, and the edge of the stock is engraved with monster teeth. Next to the frame is a note about who this is: Colonel Lawrence Collingworth, who died in a hunting accident and left everything to his spouse Cameron. A digital drawing of a building blueprint. It's the front-facing side of a creepy cowboy mansion: the windows and doors are all coffin-shaped, the stained glass above the door has a winged skull, and the weathervane decoration is a horned demon head. The house has 4 above-ground floors, with three primary house floors and one attic level for each part of the house. There's a wraparound porch at the front door that goes left from it, and a balcony on the second floor on that same side
