week one: Metal

turns out all you need to be good at art is free brush pack from itch.io

a digital drawing of three steel-type Pokemon. on the left is Meltan, a Pokemon made up of a blob of liquid metal as its body, and a golden hex nut as its head. it has a small red electrical wire sticking out from behind that looks like a tail. in the center is Honedge, a Pokemon that looks like a sword in a brown sheath with intricate curving patterns across it. there are three circles at the top that appear to be eyes, the one in the center is bright blue, and the others are white. there is a long, dark blue ribbon attached to the pommel that hangs down beside it, and ends in a bright blue swirling pattern. on the right is Bronzor, a Pokemon that appears as a disc of dark blue metal with six orbs equally spaced around the perimeter of the disc. there is a smaller orb in the middle that appears like a nose, and sits right between its two yellow eyes.

a silly purple cat named Mak

Various drawings of a purple cat with solid white eyes and yellow ears. On the top left, the cat is stretching out its front legs. On the top right, the cat is in a defensive posture. On the bottom left, the cat is sitting awkwardly with a confused look on its face. On the bottom right, the cat has one eye squinted and its mouth stretched open on one side, with its tongue sticking out. In the center, the cat is looking upwards with its eyes closed and mouth half open.

another little space doodle

a white-on-black drawing with a small planet, with a crashed spaceship on the left with smoke billowing out, a lake on the right, mountains in the distance. an astronaut stands in the center holding a flagpole in one hand and the other raised up to his helmet as he looks up at the night sky. the sky is full of stars, and has a small ringed planet with moons in the distance, a cratered moon with a spaceship flying around it, and a large gas giant with stripes and thin rings.

so wplace happened... and i guess i'm a pixel artist now. trying to think of some semi-niche things to rep on there, because i don't want to be the millionth person drawing deltarune art. my fave music artist (femtanyl) came to mind first :)
