Some bubbles I drew with colored pencils in my then-new black sketchbook :D

I may have a slight obsession LOL

(I’ve liked more posts since last December than the nearly 7 years I’ve had this account-)

So I have a theory as to why we enjoy angst and our favorite fictional characters getting hurt/sick/etc. Besides the relatability aspect to it, I think it has to do with getting an adrenaline rush without anyone being in actual danger, since we wouldn’t act like this with people we know irl if something happened to them—it’s much like rollercoasters and riding off of a high of thrill without you or your loved ones being in any real peril.

I initially drew this as just a sketch for fun without reference, so Viktor looks a bit janky lol

I used rustic paper overlays to make it look like one of those hundred year old notebooks :3

Back when I played The Wolf Among Us and got interested in werewolves for a period of time :3

Hey guys! I'll be at a booth at the El Paso Artspace Exhibition where I'll be selling prints, stickers, and you can even request custom sketches done by me! Hope to see you there :) • Missed it? Don't worry, I'll be there next month! (First Friday of every month from 5-9 PM) Update: I’ll be too busy to attend the May Exhibition, but I’ll likely be there in June! • I was debating whether or not to advertise this online, but hey, see what happens! • ▶For more info, here's the host's Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/artspace.ep

Expressions/poses of one of my troll OCs :D I don’t have a name pinned down for him yet, but he’s a bit like Branch personality wise 😉 more of this guy to come!

Some Vindicated AU // Tazzy Martin concepts from last December :D

(Oneshot of this scene^ below if you want to read)

TW: Knife/blood

After containment

A big inspiration for these was @yes-asil's Tazzy Martin comics! [And Reprogrammed AU ofc ;)]

I notice after drawing all the time for 1-2 months, I've gotten way more refined, since before I got into WIld Kratts I only did art sparingly since... maybe 2019? Dang Well, depends if I'm currently hyperfixated on something like I am now XD I love bringing my ideas to life and onto paper! (So if there's nothing that greatly interests me at the time, I'll only sketch stuff here and there, with the occasional finished illustration)

Tazzy Martin Oneshot/Idea (also from December):

Inspired by that one scene from The Long Dark story mode lol

(He’s fully aware but has zero control.)

At some point late into the captivity, Martin is in the Canadian wilderness finishing off a corpse, and there’s another victim who survived, who is trying to sneak away. Martin smells him and spots him, and the man panics and runs towards an abandoned dam.

The front area is barricaded off with eight foot tall wire fencing, and the man quickly ducks into the enclosure, turns around and hastily fiddles with the gate lock as Martin dashes straight towards him, aiming for the kill.

The man finishes locking the gate right before the furry devil pounces onto the wires with his long claws, making the structure shake. The man stumbles onto his back from the startle, and he rapidly pushes himself away with his feet, still on the ground, and cries, “M-monster!”

Martin can’t respond, but he understood it crystal clear. This is what he’s become. A vicious beast. A monster.

The man hurriedly gets up and trips towards the direction of the dam, correcting his footing and making a b-line to the front doors, which were constructed from thick concrete.

He looks over his shoulder only briefly before making a full sprint, not wanting to risk the snarls and claws ripping at the fence made from the beast to get anywhere near him again.

This scenario may or may not happen in the final fic, which is why I'm posting it here now 'cause why not 😚

last night i dreamt tumblr added like a billion buttons to the mobile app so instead of this

we got this

and everyone just rolled with it but sometimes the wide naruto got too wide and blocked off all the other buttons and people would just post "got naruto'd again :/" and the only way to reset him was to log out and log back in

FINALLY DONE!! Man that background took forever

So here is some art of @phibsies's Roleswap Branch singing to an offscreen Poppy in the forest :3

I used a FTU pic by @vampireflowerarts as reference for the background 😚

(Also, the top of the scanned picture was cutting off wonkily because marker "residue" was in the way on the top of the page, so I went into digital to try and make it look seamless)

Look what I saw on a road trip last year

Going through photos and thought to make this silly thing, lol

Snuggly trolls :3

I got so many more trolls sketches in my books (plural because I’m cooking so much they’re getting full) but I’m a busy bee without time to scan them all at once, so for now you get drip fed 😂

I dunno when/if I'll color these so!! Here are the brothers frolicking and having a fun time <3

Unfortunately, Martin being in the hyena suit while also having a good time is not a canon event in my fanfiction 😈

EEK I LOVE ITTTTT!!!!! AHH I’M SO GIDDY😍😍😍 give him all the hugs, he needs them 😢

[Context for followers] So this is a work in progress trolls OC I haven’t found a name or color palette for yet (or clothes LMAO), but I’m having a lot of fun with the concept art and ideas in my sketchbook which I’ll share on here once I have the lil guy fleshed out more! 😄

Request for @nixynebula of their OC I had fun drawing your traumatized boy, I just want to give him a hug TwT

Some trolls I drew in people's birthday cards 🎂

Rock on 😝

Did everything on paper except the eyes (did that in Krita).

Some stuff I came up with during one of my art group meetings last November, as per prompted by some of the members :3

If you use any of these ideas, please credit me!

The Pug-a-Pillar wants a treat!

Making this was fun! I recently got more copic marker colors so I made this with them. I haven't done marker art in a while and there's definitely a learning curve with the alcohol based ones 😆

(It's unrelated but, made on Valentine's Day 🩷)

I'm having way too much fun with these post-edit overlays

Here is tazzy Martin with wings just for fun, and another on a moon (probably the Dreamworks one)

Tools of Destruction: In-Game Screenshots

Pictures I took of my TV with my camera (because I don't have a capture card on my PS3) of in-game Tools of Destruction during my-- oh, who am I kidding, I never left my R&C phase. (<- I wrote that before Wild Kratts took over 😮 but dw Ratchet, you'll always be my og)

"If you're simpin' and you know it, clap your hands! 👏👏"

I have a bunch of photographs I took in 2023 lying around on my SD card, so I'll post more of this stuff in the future!

Feel free to use these 😄 you don't have to credit me, but it would be greatly appreciated! tag me too if you want, so I can see what you use it for! =D

You know what I’ve realized? I’ve been having this trend of getting back into movies/shows/etc. that I watched as a kid. Wild Kratts, Trolls-

I guess whatever you’re influenced by in your childhood will stick with you forever, eh? 😆

Ouu fun!

🎧Last Song: Sweet Dreams are Made of This

🎨Favorite Color: Pink, Purple, and Icy Blue!

📖Last Book: Do fanfictions count?

🎥Last Movie: Dreamworks Trolls lol

🍬Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Sweet. I can’t handle spicy, but surprisingly, I’m a sucker for sour candies (no pun intended) if I get my hands on it.

⏰Relationship Status: I second Hecklefreckled’s answer lol

🌐Last Thing You Googled: Uhh it was probably something Trolls related, or troubleshooting something.

🤔Looking Forward To: Continuing work on my fan novel! (It’s Wild Kratts if you’re curious)

Thank you @thesem for the tag! <3

Last Song: That's a really hard one to answer at Christmas. Honestly I've had the theme song from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians stuck in my head for three days now.

Favorite Color: Changes frequently, but I like purple and deep greens!

Last Book: Joy in the Morning by PG Wodehouse

Last Movie: The Alistair Sim 'Scrooge' - which is my absolute favourtie Christmas Carol adaptation

Last TV Show: All Creatures Great and Small (the new one)

Sweet/spicy/savory: Sweet, alas.

Relationship Status: giant snowman pattern minecraft

Last Thing I Googled: giant snowman pattern minecraft

Current Obsession: I've kind of got two at the moment that I guess are linked? I've been trying to read/watch my way through the complete works of Shakespeare, and I've been researching the backstage side of how theatres work and theatre history, ostensibly for a future project.

Looking Forward To: My game The Beekeeper's Picnic is coming out in a few months! I have so much work left to do on it, but I'm also excited about entering the final stretch!

I will tag @fruitviking, @jeremys-come-to-bed-eyes @sandygarnelle @geeoharee and anyone else who would like to do it <3

I knew something looked familiar Their animations even share a resemblance :0

(Left is Ericka from Hotel Transylvania 3, right is Velvet from Trolls 3)

He's going through it, guys

I love putting beloved characters through the wringer

So, here's another one from December! I was looking at it and wanted to add some pizzazz... so I went crazy with my photoshopping skills

And I discovered this new technique for scanned pencil art- if you add a new layer, paint it black, then set the blend mode to "overlay", it will increase contrast without losing fidelity or making the entire picture too bright/too dark. Play around with this yourself!

Without the filters and overlays:

It makes a mega difference!

I also scanned it before deciding I wanted to put more detail onto it, so here's a bonus pic:

-Insert transition here-

I was thinking about coloring this, but ehhhh. Need to draw fandom art >:)

So here it is, before I forget about it! Naughty kangaroo 🦘

Been meaning to post this. I drew so much Wild Kratts in December 😆

Me and my lil bro used to go outside into the woods all the time as kids, which is what inspired the second and third picture 🥰

The Wild Kratts meet... a troll?! XD

(They canonically don't have tails but it's fun to draw them with one)

First Wild Kratts x Trolls crossover art in existence (probably) lmao

So the other day I watched Trolls 3 for the first time, and I thought it was the best out of the trilogy :D [more mentioned in prev post]

And tbh, I need a break from my super angsty WK fic and drawings sometimes so here's some cute wholesome stuff 😂

I wanna hold a troll in my hand they're so teensy weensy

Look how tiny they are 🥺🥺 they remind me a lot of smurfs lol

Trolls :D

(^I like drawing them with tails teehee)

I watched Trolls 3: Band Together the other day and I liked it! Then I rewatched the previous two (I remember when the first one came out... I was only 12 then), and I think 3 is the strongest movie out of the trilogy. 😚

I love sibling dynamics ARURHGH

They're so fun to draw too, with their shapes and all.

Bonus sketches:

Gahh this is so true. It's so easy to fall into that trap, first you start drawing fandom art because it's fun, then you start gaining followers and you fear that you'll lose them if you don't keep posting what's "expected" of you. But never forget what made you start doing it in the first place <3

are you done with mcsm? say it aint so 🥲

done is a bit harsh, taking a step back perhaps. i don’t usually fully leave a fandom, they just go dormant until motivation strikes again.

plus, i really want to focus on making art i personally enjoy in the moment rather than feeling obligated to draw for a certain fandom— which has happened before and i could see the quality deteriorate from the artblocks that come with, it’s not fun for anyone honestly :,]

but don’t worry, mcsm will always have a special place in my heart. coincidentally i also got a post on it coming up soon, soo stay tuned!

I had the urge to hug the bros so I drew it ^w^

(Idk if this counts as self inserting because I never braid my hair like that, but hey)
