flipped a switch in our head recently and realized we might enjoy skirts now. of relevance: Halloween outfit ready for this Friday!

candle-inspired, but ended up taking a more subtle fashion-esque approach with the fit ^^"

Screenshot of CLIP STUDIO PAINT featuring SOOTBONNIE's current PNGtuber model with a new outfit. Bonnie is wearing a white capelet with gold trim over a black dress shirt with white lace cuffs. Along with that is a knee-length white pleated skirt over black sheer socks and magenta sneakers.

second attempt went much better on this character design >:~)

[ #art ]
Screenshot of CLIP STUDIO PAINT [in light mode]. On the canvas are a few conceptual sketches of BONNIE's angelsona that existed on the previous iteration of the canvas. On the right is a revamp of the character design, a refined sketch with a greyscale collage of photos (thread bobbins, a burning rose, a person opening a door, scissors, and the tapestry "The Triumph of Death"). Next to the refined sketch is the following text... BELLE they/them ANGEL OF LIMINALITY • Master of ceremonies • Supervises transitions of all sorts • Morally ambiguous at best • Appears when you least expect them • Enjoys public transit over flying

some concept stuff that i've been working on since July 🙂

[ #art ]
Digital canvas of human-made sketches. At the top are two rows of playing card suits, one typed out as typographical symbols and another as custom-colored symbols with hand-drawn ornamentation. Taking up most of the canvas space are four loosely drawn figures representing BONNIE's OCs (left to right: Bonnie, Chanrith, Weiss, Gingham), with clean sketches of color-coordinated outfits drawn on top. In the upper-right corner is a hand holding an orb of dark spiraling energy, with a smaller version of it to the left. To the right is a rectangle with a muti-axis symmetrical pattern of black warped lines.

cake redacted this year :~(

Screenshot of CLIP STUDIO PAINT [in light mode]. On the canvas are a few conceptual sketches of BONNIE's angelsona — a full-body, a headshot that shows what the design looks like if the character was missing their brain, and a rear-view that ideates on cricket wings for the character.

while Yuna and Rikku lay dead for the entirety of the battle 🥲

apples to apples 🍎🍎

did a color theory + stylization study last night on stream! we've been wanting to move toward more iridescent / impressionism-inspired coloring, so studying how other artists do their stuff was helpful! ^^

[ #art #BonnieDoodles ]
Digital handmade illustrations of four different apples, all rendered/painted with different coloring methods. Apple 1 is labeled "Bonnie's usual render style"; the other three are labeled "Exercises". The four apples are laid in a row, with the apples duplicated below but in grayscale to show the contrast of values. Apple 1 is duplicated and set off to the side, with the notes "w/ sepia filters" and "*Blending modes + clipped layers!" Apple 2 has the note "Experimental hue shifting" Apple 3 has the note "More controlled color change + super high saturation". Between Apples 3 and 4 is "*Use the Hue and/or Color blending modes!" Apple 4 in grayscale has the note "Using hues as shading; very low value changes!" At the bottom is a reference photo of an apple next to a contour sketch of it. There is also a low-detailed doodle of Bonnie saying, "I don't like eating apples..."

happy birthday to @vaporskull.bsky.social! B)

[ #art #BonnieDoodles ]
Digital handmade illustration of VaporSkull's skeleton sona, standing on a sunset-gradient checkerboard background. He is wearing a purple pullover hoodie with the hood on, with black pants, Converse-esque shoes with a red-orange gradient, and a black fingerless glove. The illustration is framed such that the camera is looking down at Vapor, with his body warped from the foreshortening and perspective. He's raising his hand outward.

Digital handmade illustration of chibi Bonnie and White holding hands while running around on the top of the One Ring (from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings). Bonnie and White are wearing cloaks with leaf-shaped brooches and sweater vests, reminiscent of the outfits of the Hobbits from Tolkien's work. Ari, White's sun conure bird, is flying near them above two hearts (the left heart is magenta, while the right heart is red).

Digital hand-drawn illustration of Citrona's human/VTuber sona, though with a small sprout-and-puffball on their head. They're standing in front of a vaguely painted grass field. Citrona is wearing a yellow-green varsity jacket over a white shirt and white baseball pants. They're looking cheekily at something outside of the frame while gripping a baseball bat, on which are two small decals of Citrona's other two OCs/sonas.

dance pose studies using STAYC, from stream

[ #art #BonnieDoodles ]
Digital lineart sketches of Bonnie's OCs. On the left is Bonnie's sona, posed standing with their hips tilted to their right as they hold out an index finger to side. A reference image from STAYC's dance practice of "BEBE" is situated next to said sketch. On the right is Bonnie's OC Weiss, posed with a wide stance with her left knee bent toward her left. Her head is thrown back as she looks forward; her left hand is on her chest while her right hand is out at at angle almost as if on a distant wall. A reference image from STAYC's dance practice of "SO BAD" is situated next to said sketch.
