i noticed today while doing some personal project scribbles in procreate that my whole understanding of lines and shapes has somehow shifted since i’ve started drawing with lasso brush in heavypaint and have stopped doing lineart. in a good way, i might add! but maybe that’s just some flu talk, idk

if you see this, post your bird art!

“marktplatz deity“, april 2023. i still remember someone replying “actually that’s Mother Mary” under this picture. i meant the pigeon, folks.
digital painting of the statue of Mother Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms with stars around them. a grey pigeon is sitting on the baby’s head.

ya-ha-ha
sketch-like digital painting made in heavypaint with lasso brush. it depicts the korok forest in mostly brown and yellow colours, highly inspired by how it looks in tloz botw. there are some korok shadows, the glowing pea plants pods decorations, glowing fireflies and a lot of greenery. there’s the master sword on its pedestal in the middle of the picture, also glowing, and link himself standing close to it, like he didn’t expect to stumble upon it.

here’s a hare, stuck in the middle of changing its fur for a new season. it reminded me of myself. happy birthday to me!

today is my 28th birthday! as we all know, sharing artists’ work makes them very happy.

thank you for all your continuing support and newfound friendships this year, it means the world to me.
one very green painting of my OC, mysterious skeleton girl, posing down on her knee. she has unnaturally long limbs. she’s holding a fossilised ichthyosaur skull sword on her shoulder and is wearing weird clothes that make her skeleton visible like on an x-ray. there’s a spirit of a hare in the background, running around with its eye gleaming red. a digital painting with three characters from kingdom come deliverance games standing one before the other: lady jitka, hans and henry. first comes lady jitka of kunstadt standing with her back to us. she is dressed in a dark reddish dress with white rim that slightly opens her shoulders, and a white waistband. she has black hair and warm skin and looks very delicate. next, standing face to face with her but looking sideways, is hand capon, her almost husband. he’s highest of the three of them, dressed is almost all white, with yellow hues. there’s somewhat lost look on his face. he holds jitka’s right hand in his left one up, but it doesn’t look like he’s doing it willingly. behind him, almost lost to the background and to the figures before him, stands henry. he’s holding his sword in his left hand, wearing a red glove. the blade of the sword stays between hans’ and jitka’s shoulders, not letting them come closer to each other. henry’s face is barely visible behind hans’ shoulder but he’s looking at jitka. not with hate, not with jealousy, more with acceptance and awareness. henry’s holding a wreath full of flowers and a red ribbon in his right hand. hans’ right one, instead of holding jitka’s, has found the wreath without having to look, and his and henry’s finger are touching. jitka knows. she’s looking down, trying to reach them with her fingers, but alas. that heart is already full. there are herbs’ silhouettes in the background. according to the list of plants with symbolism on wiki, here’s their meaning. astragalus for hans (your presence softens my pain), heliotrope for henry (emblem of faithfully devoted love), and rue for jitka (regret, sorrow, repentance, grace, clear vision , disdain). three sketches of my beagle, Bucky. he’s posing, asking for snacks, eyes wide and begging; he is lying curled into a ball, eyes sad like no one loves him (LIES); and he is lying on his side, stretched out, his ear thrown back. digital drawing made in heavypaint. it’s a simple bright and sunny mountain landscape, with white clouds and greenery and flowers. a girl is standing in the grass, turned to us. she has long golden blonde hair, is dressed in a white shirt and red shorts and is holding a hat with a white ribbon on it in her left hand and a yellow flower in her right. she’s smiling, happy and calm, her eyes closed. two birds are flying in the distance. this is a portrait of my friend. i haven’t visited her in a couple years.

my friend Vlad (single) and his cat Tosik
a close up portrait of a tabby cat with impressive whiskers, and her (very small) human lying under her chin like the cat is a giant pillow. the human is typing a message on his phone. he’s a black haired (very handsome) man wearing a red shirt and black cargo pants. the cat’s full name is Antonina.

The Awakening
painting based on the “final” boss fight of the game Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hornet vs. Grand Mother Silk. there’s a lot of silk, GMS is very big and bright, and Hornet is very small but brave and her cloak is the only bright spot of the painting.

rebelle is a hard program to get used to after heavypaint, and my back pain is killing me lately; everything takes longer than it should :( hope to finish this one soon, i like it so much

is this green enough or
part of a wip screenshot i took in rebelle 7 with the colour circle and the brush settings on the right. the painting depicts my still unnamed OC lady who’s dressed in see-through-skeleton-clothes and is holding a fossil sword. everything is very green and i apologise

i’m regretting only starting this tradition last year, i’ve missed so many years of possibilities to make her smile. this is the one i made last year!
drawing of a girl with her arms outstretched like a bird’s wings. flying castle laputa’s towers and greenery is in the background, with the red winged crane-like birds flying by. the girl is wearing a red t-shirt and jeans.

this year’s birthday gift for my friend’s kid 🙂 happy birthday, pumpkin!
drawing of a girl wearing a crown, an armor and a red cape, holding a sword up high and sitting in a saddle on a back of a cockatiel gryphon who’s wearing a big red bow on its neck. they’re flying above the clouds, both are very happy. there’s a big speech bubble coming from the gryphon, saying “Happy Birthday, Sophie!”

days 27-30: seasons of the year

#swordtember
drawing of a wide sword with some bright images symbolising the seasons of the year. there’s a snowflake, a flower, the sun and waves, and a mushroom with a leaf on top of it.

day 26: harpy

#swordtember
drawing of a sword which design resembles a figure of a harpy (a bird with a woman’s face, duh). the foot with the claw clenching a big pearl is the handle of the sword, and the body of the harpy is where the guard normally is. the left side of her face is depicted on the blade with her long hair going up to the tip of the sword. she’s hiding behind one of her wings, anger on her face. she’s wearing a pearl necklace and a pearl earring.

day 25: bubble (wrap)

#swordtember
drawing of a sword which blade is fully wrapped in bubble wrap. i’d like to think that it’s unclear if the sword is just protected by it for the transportation or the bubble wrap is the sword itself somehow.

killing two outfits with one OC #martyfiveocs
two drawings of my OC, Chelsea, sporting two cool outfits. Chelsea is a short, black-haired asian trans woman, very conventionally attractive and endlessly charming. she likes pink and red and black colours, and her outfits are almost always very feminine and elegant. here she’s wearing two outfits i recently saw on my feed.

day 23: owl

#swordtember
drawing of a decorative dagger (allegedly carved out of stone or wood and then painted in white, brick red and greenish yellow) in a shape of an owl spreading its wing while sitting on a tree branch in profile. the wing is actually singular because it’s playing the role of the dagger’s blade. there’s a small crescent moon on a branch before the owl’s claws and a star behind them.
