Just in time for Hallowe'en, a "quick" (read: two hour) sketch based on comments in this journal. I'd debated throwing this into scraps, but the shading, while simple, turned out rather well.
God, it feels good to draw again.

@Camazotz: The one thing you'll learn about me really fast is that self-undervaluation is a reflex. As I've said to plenty of others, "Your Hardest Critic Is Yourself (And If It Isn't, You May Be A Narcissist)." Well, I can safely say that's a homily I take to heart. :P
Reply glitch may be related to a problem with the main forum page producing 500 Errors; I've sent a letter to BK.
@Thorvald: i completely understand that part about hating your own art or just seeing all the mistakes, yea i've noticed you're pretty harsh on yourself, it's a goid thing in a way because it makes you want to get better and improve, but too much can be harmful- i think you should also focus on the things you do right, for example, your characters expressions, the anatomy proportions and your writing man, how do you do thaat. your art has got some charm that i've neever seen from anyone else- lately i've been going through a phase of hating my art, specially my older drawing, but that also means something - i am getting better and that's why i can see the mistakes now, so that's something xD
i was gonna ask you about the forum error too, that one started failing today, i tried to reply to your comment yesterday and i couldn't since then- i just hope it's not something that cause MORE errors on the servers- i read in a post that he is busy till sunday- btw i wonder how he'll react when he comes back and sees all these bew faces
@Camazotz: Big thank (*ﾉ▽ﾉ) "Fortunately" the slough-off in later years was down to time management rather than lack of motivation. As I've said several times, DYOS would be done by now if I was writing it as a book. :^) I know I'll jinx myself by saying so, but things have stabilized such that I'm cautiously optimistic I can get back into the groove this summer: I turned this out in basically a day, so it's not actually a skill issue.
Once the forums are back up, I've been meaning to post a list of little gripes, and editing comments is a top priority. ;p
CASE IN POINT: THIS TOOK ME FIVE TRIES
@Camazotz: Twice the pride, double the fall!
I'll let you in on a secret: One reason I've staggered my uploads is because credits cap at 5 per category per day—likely an anti-spam measure so newbies can't Mobius sweep on Day 1. :P
@Thorvald: makes sense now, hopefully side7 will not go through the INKBLOT USER WHO UPLOADED THEIR ENTIRE GALLERY AT ONCE WHICH MADE INKBLOT'S HOSTING COSTS SO EXPENSIVE THAT THEY HAD TO ADD A 10 POSTS LIMIT PER DAY situation :) (THE USER JUST ARCHIVED ALL THEIR ART AND LEFT THE SITE)
@Camazotz: InkBlot is... ugh. If you hadn't given me the advance invite I would've bailed as soon as I realized it was a Twitter/Tumblr mashup. I sympathize with the struggle of keeping a website solvent, but they went public when the architecture was still effectively in beta, and it hasn't really improved (and in some cases has become worse: what genius decided to put the side tabs over the scrollbar?). It's not an outright scam like Buzzly—the devs definitely had their heart in the right place—but I get the feeling they put the cart before the horse, and if they're struggling just to stay break-even, there's a high likelihood it'll become trapped in a state of permanent beta. And if my story's any indication, that'll turn people off.
@Thorvald: and yknow just after giving you that code i was going to mention side7 too but idk what stopped me from that - but ey you found out about it anyways XD
i still have hopes for inkblot but the fact they keep adding features before fixing the bugs and lag is frustrating- it’s sill in beta, but open beta 0-0
@Camazotz: THE INKBLOT RUSE WAS A
DISTACTION 8^y
@Warehouse_Rabbit: "I have the power of God and anime on my side."
WHY WOULD YOU THROW THIS INTO SCRAPS it's GOOD i like the pose that dude looks like a badass and that spaceship in the background is cute XD btw i read your comment on my journal about toyhouse and i can't reply to it for some reason- anyways - THE USERS KEEP COMING🤛 hopefully they keep uploading more, i've seen many already uploading a bunch of their older art at once and i don't think it's bad if you upload more of your old gallery each day too-
