Ancient person, fledgling artist. 30+ y/o but only drawing a few months.

Here to sit starry-eyed looking at everyone else's fantastic art. Maybe learn something along the way.

It lines up so perfect. Do I still have the story board I put together? I do. There are so many parallels! But it's also SO much work.

The 4 i shared have a bit more time invested. But they're still just proof of concept sketches.

i figured I should share this before I give up on it completely. Life is too rough and motivation is scarce. But this was the idea I had the moment I watched Episode 2 and saw the full context for the song

"Gravity" but make it an angsty Cat

digital fanart Catra (She-Ra2018) is crouching low with her guitar and belting out lyrics. She's wearing ripped jeans, calf boots with chains, and the sleeves of her battle jacket are rolled up. The perspective is pushed so that her feet and the guitar are close to the camera and her tail is even reaching out of the canvas towards the viewer. Colored similar to Spider Punk with bright Yellow and purples Lightning effocts for the sound of the guitar. I used the halftone for the shadows to mimic Spider Punk and general comic styles for shading. Her guitar is covered in stickers for BLM, Human Right's Campaign, the LGBTQIA+ progress flag, and the title card for the show. fully color, mostly in warm tones due to the Light+heat given off by the weapon. The background is the barren remains of the city in one of the Hollow Zones. Catra (from She-ra 2018) dressed up as Evelyn (from Zenless Zone Zero). She stands, leaning back slightly, with her hands pulling on the cord she uses for attacks. That cord is stretching out towards the screen and beyond. The typical attire for Evelyn includes her leather jacket draped across her shoulders. The white button down with suspicious sheer window. Many, many belts, and a tie. Catra's right ear is up and the other is neuatral. Smirking, she stares down at her victim. The text "Wipeout" is placed behind her. Catra sitting at her desk, drawing on a digital tablet.

Colored with an attempt at a background... I still prefer the lineart step but I tried really hard with the lighting/shading. Though I admit it was purely by vibes. Not my usual...

Which is better?
The full color or the wipeout style black and white?

In this version, only the Wipeout text and the heat cord are brightly colored in yellow and red-orange. Catra and the wasteland behind her are all washed out to greyscale - like the typical game Wipeout screens at the end of combat.

Working on clean line art and the tragedy that is drawing hands. I think it looks pretty good. Color is going to be so much fun /hj

considerably different approach for Catra as Evelyn. But I like it. The face is... temporary. but honestly, not bad for my usual first drafts.

so many belts -.-"

Line art mostly done? need to look more at my line weight but it's clean enough for color.

WIP sketch of my OC Kallen in the same pose as Manato of ZZZ. Sort of a cosplay. Kallen is sitting down, turned 3/4 to face the camera. her far leg is raised and knee bent. her wolf tail curls behind her while her ears stand tall. She has a high pony tail sweeping behind as she bites on the fighter's tape around her arm, pulling it tight. She's in Manato heavy leather coat, a tank top underneath, and a pair of plain jeans with a big belt.

This Manato I pulled is looking a little different...

This man is so Kallen coded it's not even funny. So I had to draw her is his pose and outfit. I was planning for her in Caesar for the same reason. Still might.

I need to draw Catra as Evelyn... Some other day.

I continue to exist. At least for now.

Brain said we need to doodle tonight. So... yeah. Monster Hunter. Still fun. As long as I stay away from Savage Omega.

Here's Kallen: MH Wilds edition.

Kallen, A shapeshifter/werewolf built like a tank. But she really is just a sweet lil' pup.
Kallen's bio and Ref sheet Kallen (OC) in her more traditional armor and weapons. Very Witcher inspired. Kallen just dressed up and looking flirty because I wanted to practice cell shading.

I did not succeed. I posted Book 2 Act 1 already. I'm too excited not to - I didn't even last a day after it was finished.

The war is over. The Horde is dismantled. But Prime is on the way. How does the Rebellion prepare?

trying not to get ahead of myself by posting Book 2. Let's advertise Book 1!

Lots of posts have come across lately about Catra again - if you want to see her journey to a healthier relationship, I might have something for you.

Well, I'm Rhodes. I'm just a little over a year into writing and drawing. Just casually when time allows. Mostly around She-Ra for my fic but I'm branching out. Including Artfight this year.

"Fire Resist" for their character Azrael

It took me an entire year, but I finally drew the Bar.

This was a project I wanted to do for myself to see the progress I had made.

🎉🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎉

Digital illustration Catra (She-Ra 2018) is sitting on the bar in her red button-down and slacks looking very confidently flirty. Her tail is wrapped around the neck of my OC Kallen that is leaning in close next to her. Kallen is in a halter dress and has a trans flag heart-sticker on her cheek. Both characters have their tails painted with the lesbian flag colors. The rest of the bar is filled with Pride, joy, and laughter. Glimmer is in the foreground laughing with a Bi flag heart-sticker on her cheek. Netossa and Spinnerella are in the middle ground snugged close, behind Catra and Kallen. and Sea Hawk is in the background, foot on a chair, waving a progress flag and wearing a rainbow cape. Adora is slumped over the table next to Sea Hawk, passed out from a bit too much party-ing. "In memery of Stonewall" is placed on the bar as a reminder of the history of Pride.

I have still been fighting with this one. I've been avoiding it, but I think it's close enough to where I want it before I line it again.

A three panel comic spread. Read from top left to bottom right. She-Ra is the first panel and she is glaring at the enemy. Her face is completely shadowed except for her glowing, rage filled, eyes and the corona of her magic behind her. Panel two has She-Ra stalking forward, her power overflowing and Kallen's (OC) terrified face. Kallen is begging "Don't do this... Adora" as tears stream down her face. The last panel is the sword of protection piercing Kallen through the heart.

hey look, I finished at least one of these...

I want to draw some jewelry but idk.

My OC Kallen standing in her usual sleeveless top and a split skirt showing off her legs. Kallen is a tall woman with a lot of muscles. She has long, white-gold, hair that trails behind her back. She has wolf ears and tail that are also a golden retriever kind of color. She's wearing a vanilla top that is high collard, sleeveless, and cropped. All to make sure to show off her big arms and fantastic abs. Her skirt is a plain dark gray and is split on the sides. She's pulled it in a way to show off her equally massive legs. Close up of Kallen's face to show off her molten gold eyes.

I'm going to get flak for this, I just know it. But I'm working on actually drawing what I think was the biggest scene of my fic.

This is "technically" page 1 of 2. But this one has already frustrated me to no end. I had to re-draw every panel already.
