Doodle - *sigh* I miss my cat, Nyx

 The dad who said he didn't want a pet: 

The last sketch for May, probably. I've been on a roll. Based of course on the "I miss my wife, Tails" line from the Sonic fandub.

Sketch - Recycling Bin

 One must consider the climate crisis. What's the saying? All that is gold does not glitter, or one man's trash is another man's treasure? This doodle has been on my list for a while. Glad to get it done and work a little on the Piper's design.

Sketch - Callahan Mayden Outfit

 An unofficial PaperDemon challenge for UnknownSpy's Mayden event. We rolled a dice for a random outfit, and this was Callahan's. This came out surprisingly good for a one-off sketch. As we say, the ability to slay comes free with being gay.

Vine Animatic - Is that a WEED?!

 Managed to finish an entry for the PaperDemon vine event. Callahan catching flak from Magenta (he's innocent this time!). Magenta belongs to timefliesaway. I really need to finish some actual relevant art instead of playing on PaperDemon, though. 

 Finished 9/29/25, Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects.

Meme - The Color Wheel

 A BlueSky art trend that's going around that I thought looked fun. I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it and I had to dig into some older art for the warmer colors, but it turns out I've used more colors than I thought!

 Credit to zgymorph.bsky.social and hijennyt.bsky.social‬ for the template.

Art - Neighborhood Crime Watch

 Jumped ahead in the PaperDemon intro tasks to do the weekly character development prompt, drawing your character in a newspaper headline. I decided the boy-steals-flowers meme was fitting. Callahan doesn't understand private property. And with it posted, I finally have enough XP to put links in my profile. Now I can make it look pretty!

Art Fight - Kvern

 A silly in-between with another detective who is secretly a phantom thief, before I get to my main hit list for this year, Vogelfish's Kvern. It's friendly fire, but I had this idea last year and wanted to go ahead and do it now. Unfortunately, I start working again tomorrow and I will have less time for the rest of July. Goodbye, attack streak...

Doodle - Cartoon Network Challenge

 Just a warm-up before I get started on a new project. I've been relaxing too much and need to get back into the groove. Found this challenge on Pinterest while getting my reference photos, and ended up doing it instead.

Animation - He is (not) the Golden Phantom

 Finally sat down to do one of the many animatics from my list. Just a short one, no need for Krita. At least in grayscale I don't have to worry about the video player ruining the colors. Got to use Photoshop's layer comps seriously for the first time, but it's not exactly a perfect tool.

Drawn 8/5/24 - 8/11/24, Photoshop and Premiere.

Meme - Pride Month in the Campaign

 A pride meme I made for my D&D group. I am fighting tooth and nail against this art block.

Drawn 6/16/24, Photoshop.

D&D Sketch - POV: They Murdered Helis

 A funny little meme I did for my D&D party to get out of an art block. Falrin told them not to do it and they did it anyway, and then he was arrested, too. Poor Keyleth has never even been in a jail before. Slice knows the drill and will be a free rat by morning. Spork simply has no respect for cops or Helis (this is all her fault).

Art Meme - Age Your Character

 Decided to do another one of these while I was at it. Felt like drawing Ren, and I also got much-needed practice drawing babies and old people. What a shame that Ren is too silly to survive to middle age; the immortal wanderer would get along great with Old Ren and I spent a lot of time on their hairstyle. I suppose this is an alternate timeline where they survive and instead get a cool scar.

I've also realized that Ren's outfit needs a bit of an update, at least in the color department.

Art Meme - OC Challenge

 I wasn't feeling very inspired and the Oekaki isn't working again, so I picked something simple out of my challenge folder. Here's a fun sketch of a handful of my characters! 

Rico is honestly the hardest to draw because I struggle so much with his hair, but he already had a spot, so my immortal journalist earned "Hardest to Draw" simply because his outfit has so many pieces. Though Ren gave me quite a bit of trouble this time as well for some reason. And of course, I love any opportunity to draw Nyx. She's been the easiest OC for me to draw both before and after her redesign.

Thank you to Sharihsha for the template.

Mid-NaNo Break - Windows... Windows... Windows...

 A short sketch break from my November NaNoWriMo world-building. Yesterday's task was to research Paris architecture. I can't believe I skipped the chapters of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame that went into sloggingly unnecessary detail on this exact subject thinking it would never be important... Whatever was I thinking?

Sketch - Shipping

 Something of a theme going on with these last few posts... Sometimes I wish I had a popular art blog in a big fandom so that I would inevitably be asked this question, and I can give an annoying answer like this. I'm not super happy with this, though. I just want to move on to something else.

Sketches - Plagued by Problems of my own Creation

 Some recent sketches I did in place of actually drawing anything. Mostly because I had no inspiration once I sat down with my tablet. Even when I had time to kill, the canvas just sat there laughing at me.

Drawn 1/4/23, Photoshop.

Meme - The Angstmuffin

 Not me cramming tragedy into all of my characters' backstories. I finally redrew this meme I made years ago.

Drawn 4/20/22, Photoshop.

Art - Sus

There are two imposters among us... It's probably those shifty twins White and Cyan, but Black is definitely third imposter.

This has been on my art to-do list for a long time. I thought it would be on there forever. Some characters finally got designs, and others finally got redone!

Drawn 4/14/22, Photoshop.

Sketch - Arrow Ren Meme

 The epitome of the blog's namesake itself, it's Ren! Someone in The Phoenix Quill threatened to marry off Ren if I wasn't nicer to him. The horror! The audacity! Ren needed to be defended from such a terrible fate, so I defended him with this Brave-inspired doodle.

Drawn 3/30/22, Photoshop.

Doodle - Narrator Sense

 I started a new Photoshop file for sketches since my last one was getting slow to load with like 120 layers. I had to break it in, so I doodled some art for The Phoenix Quill.

 We recently had a conversation about how we would avoid letting our characters figure out we are the narrator if we were in our stories. I thought I would blend in well with my mysterious travelers, but someone told me Ren would have a Narrator Sense like Spider-Man because of how much trauma I have caused him. And they were right.
