Forgot to post this version of that art I received through Strawpage a week ago. I was shown this screencap of how it was originally meant to look. So if the missing top of Ari's head ever bothered you, here it is. Lol.

Screencap from friend of original Strawpage doodle:

"HBD!" is written in the top left corner, in red text.

Elster is sitting in a chair, happily posing as a model for Ari, who is painting a portrait of her. Except Ari is not painting Elster as herself, but as a seal.

Also spotted a seal on one of the random signs in the village. Obligatory that I screenshot and share it of course.

Cropped screenshot from Silent Hill: f. I have the camera pointed behind Hinako, looking right at a sign with a seal on it.

Got this in my Strawpage inbox the other day and wanted to post it here, but I forgot up 'til now. Anyway, it might be several days past my birthday, but I still love this! Thanks anon! Very cute art.

Strawpage gimmick drawing screencap:

"HBD!"

The drawing depicts Ariane Yeong using Elster as an art model, and painting her as a seal.

I was asked by my partner if I could do a simple drawing of their LSTR OC, Rue, and ended up going overboard with detail and coloring. At least it's finished and I made them happy, lol

Portrait art of an Elster replika OC, named Rue. He has magpie colors instead of the the common orange and black LSTR colors. Which include light blue/teal color strips on his shell, and extra white plating. LSTRs are from the game SIGNALIS.

Damn, I wish I was from California. Lol.

My dialect map apparently:
"Redder areas talk more like you; bluer areas least.

You talk most like someone from California - about 52% of your answers match a typical resident."

Full dialect map results from the quiz. Red is "most like you," blue is "least like you."

My dialect is "most similar" to West Coast dialects.

*Somebody* sent me this doodle yesterday. It's so cute...

Strawpage screencap of a doodle sent to me:

It shows a kakapo bird, with the word "kākāpō" written in red letters above it. There is also an Ara replika from SIGNALIS in the bottom right corner, labeled with the words "Fat Ara?" The Ara appears to be fat.

Just realized I *really* haven't posted anything here in a while, since I keep relegating WIPs to my personal Discord server. Here's (another) STAR portrait I did last night as a practice. I've been messing around with a thick, very pressure sensitive pen brush lately.

I wanna draw more of Isa. This may or may not be a WIP depending on how I feel later. I also got other ideas I want to get back to still... Along with new ones. What will win out? I'unno.

Short sketch of Isa from SIGNALIS. She's looking a bit mope-y.

Took this test I saw pop up on my timeline earlier. Lol. I kind of didn't expect this result.

Neon Genesis Evangelion Test screencap. It shows my results as being Rei by 90%, Asuka by 30%, Kaworu by 85%, Misato by 60%, Shinji by 80%, Gendo by 20%, and Ritsuko by 40%.

Screencap of a text box describing the character I'm most like from Evangelion:

"Rei Ayanami

Rei Ayanami is an enigmatic, dutiful observer who follows orders without ever questioning her own personal safety. Often described as emotionless, she moves through the world feeling disconnected from her own body, wondering if she is merely playing an assigned role. Her quiet obedience masks a profound isolation and a lingering belief that her individual life is entirely replaceable. Despite this profound detachment, a quiet warmth and a nascent capacity for deep care slowly awaken within her. Her story highlights the tension between being used as a tool and discovering the spark of one's own humanity. Rei embodies the search for identity, reminding us that even the most guarded hearts can learn to choose their own destiny."

I'd say WIP on this, but I'm not sure how much more I want to do with it. Ultimately just wanted to see if I could draw a chibi.

Uuugh, finally got most of the ink work on this Elster drawing done, or good enough at least. I need to change up my workflow in the future..

Ink version of the previous Elster sketch I did from last week. Still needs work.

You know, I've been sitting on this sketch since October. I kept forgetting to return to it, but now I'm not sure if I actually want to? Well, in any case, I figured I might as well share it. Thought it was a neat idea at the time for SIGNALIS fan art.

It's not that I couldn't use a screen, I could still get into my PC and see things, but only on 1 monitor cause of drivers being disabled. And by factory reset, I meant this option in AMD Adrenalin's install program. This is no worse than the time I used DDU to clean up duplicate gpu drivers before.

Some camera sketches I did for the past four hours. Extremely rough since this was just for practice (and I freehanded the perspective cause I'm stubborn). I'm drawing these cause something else I wanted to do involves old analog cameras, lol.

Sketches of various cameras from the 70s-90s -ish?
All are instant cameras from that one iconic company.

I've been working on this all night. Just another simple Elster illustration. Not finished with it, but I felt like posting a WIP before I head to bed.

I found this on my Strawpage recently. Thanks Anon! Love the goofy ass cone crusher (and general public menace), Neil the Seal.

Strawpage doodle of Neil the Seal. He is crushing orange cones, although not the striped red and white ones surrounding him.

The text above Neil says, from left to right, "Neil the seal", "AKA. The cone crusher."

I really like Mudrock from Arknights, so I decided to try drawing her and experiment more with painting + color. I can't be bothered to fully finish this though. Characters like these have way too many details, lol.

Experiment with digital painting/color, plus sketch, of Mudrock from Arknights. She wears a huge coat, mask, and tons of gear. She is standing around smudges, meant to imply rubble, and holds her hammer in a defensive posture.

Here, have a Storch sketch that I randomly started drawing tonight. Also, side note, but geeze, is it hard trying to distinguish Storch's hair from Elster's in visual design sometimes.

Here, quick grab of one of my old recordings. You can see the sword's shape clearly (or as clearly as the game allows anyway).

I did the 9 games trend as a distraction for a bit. It was hard to narrow things down, but I did.

I hadn't checked my strawpage in a while and found this from 2 days ago. It's so cute! I love these kinds of winter-y scenes, even if winter's almost over. Also, I want a mug (or cup?) like that.. Anyway, thank you anon! Very sweet drawing.

I ended up drawing Storch tonight, instead of getting to what I was meaning to get to. Pf. I'll likely color and adjust this drawing more later. Right now it's late.

Here's a cropped WIP I did tonight. To show that I'm not dead or anything. I have so many things I've worked on, but not shown. Maybe I should be working on them concurrently, treating them like oil paintings... (drying times incentivize it but obviously not in digital art)

Two sketches of Elster, one Isa sketch, and a Lilith sketch. All done with a paint brush in Clip Studio, cause I was playing around with one at the time.

You can ignore the reminder at the top and the little practice head, plus the brush strokes, lol.
