carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Not sure that I'll use this soft-brush line art style again. One of my friends seems to rock with it, but man, I don't have a feel for it. Colouring is so much more difficult when the line art has transparency. I do think it looks cool, though 010
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Been a rough month. Still keeping up with my unhealthy obsession with improving my art, don't worry. Hoping things calm down soon, but I suppose that's a lot to ask. Have this in the meantime. A janitor on e621 removed one of my drawings (after it was approved), so I made this: youtu.be/wP4FUahoKt0youtu.beDenver Incineroar's Law Firm | e621 Janitors | Television Commercial | 1991YouTube video by carnaltwin 110

carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I'm going to find a way out. Don't care how long it takes. 110
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I'm sick to death of this lateral violence in my family, but what else do I have? No one else has been threatened by him. No one else has had to repeatedly leave the house to escape his drunken outbursts. No one else seems to care about themselves enough to admit he's a problem. 110
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 07/05/2026This dance is getting real old, man. I hate being the victim but treated as the perpetrator. I recognize that, objectively, I have a pretty good life, but I wonder how much more mentally stable I'd be if I could've somehow avoided him, how much more I could've accomplished with my time. 100
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 07/05/2026My patience has been exercised for far too long. Yes, I'm going to be resentful towards the people that have brought this man into my life. And me, being conditioned to feel guilt for having my own aspirations and feelings, is of course gaslit into thinking my anger isn't justified. 100
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Being compared to my lazy, alcoholic, transphobic stepfather just now has got to be the most insulting thing I've ever experienced. I've been forced to live around him for over a decade, and people act surprised when they see my temper's been frayed? Do you expect me to bite my tongue for ten years? 210
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Still experimenting with different brushes. Mostly happy with how the Lucario looks here, but I think the Greninja should've been smoother, colour-wise. I'd likely have to adjust the charcoal I used for colouring and/or use a different brush entirely to colour him. I do think the line art is rad 000
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 03/05/2026If Cairo and the @shoomka.bsky.social Greninja ever met up, this is probably how it would go 15714
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 29/04/2026This is my first time using anything other than the basic GIMP pencil pixel tool to do lineart. Not sure how I feel about it, but I think it looks semi-cool. Also forced myself not to use the paint bucket for colouring and instead use more wacky brushes. I will keep practicing 010
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Say happy birthday to carnaltwin, everyone 260
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Been sitting on this set of messages for a few days. Guess I'm feeling expendable more than anything. Bud and I are still friends, but it does ache a little to know they so easily give their affection to other people. We weren't all that special after all 000
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Surprisingly, I don't hate these either. Glad they're fuckwithable! 010
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Couldn't post all the drawings on one post, so here's the rest 020
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 21/04/2026So, here's a funny story. The day after posting the Lucario tutorial, my laptop stops turning on. I then spent the next two weeks waiting for it to be fixed in Toronto. Instead of terrorizing some other creative medium like I intended, I made a bunch of pencil drawings. mfw forced drawing practice 🤠 130
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Gonna take a break from drawing after that ridiculously-long undertaking (seriously, why does it always take me so long to make such simple projects?). Guess I'll find some other creative medium to terrorize in the meantime 020
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Yeah, I was a few days late to April Fools. Now I'm just gonna seem insane. As if I didn't already. 010

carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 28/02/2026People at my university dorm casually mentioned wanting to curb-stomp furries during a floor meeting a few years back. They also mockingly suggested installing a fake bush for them to piss in. I quietly excused myself a few minutes later from that meeting and didn't attend any future meetings 100

carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this video gets taken down at some point for me showing some pretty poorly-censored NSFW images I've made. Oh well. We'll see 010
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Managed to finish this up before the new year (in my timezone, anyway). Here's a half-hour video of me overthinking the drawings I've made.

carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 24/12/2025I should learn how to escape the asocial kennel, too 010
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 24/12/2025I knew Bird Alone was going to end how it did, but here I am, sitting alone in my room on Christmas Eve, tearing up over losing a fictional parrot. Don't squander the time you have with friends. That shit doesn't grow on trees. 000
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Your scribbles are one of the reasons I started drawing myself. Say what you want, but your stuff had the power to get me doing something, and I think that's pretty neat 010
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Okay, they're off my chest. You can leave me alone now, Chronic Self-Deprecation Demon 000
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Posted the line art for this one in case someone more competent wants to give colouring it a go 000
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Here's the most recent thing I've finished. After watching Zootopia 2, I got a little inspired and drew these two goobers. I mean, with how hard the movie pushes their relationship, it only makes sense to take it to its extreme, right? Attempted some more complex colouring again. Still needs work 120
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Drew this one at the end of November. Got super lazy with the colouring, but this one was only meant to be practice for the pose. I originally wanted to draw another one to go along with this, but I got lazy. Will probably return to the idea at some point next year. Hi, Sonar! 041
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Made this one for @ircluzar.bsky.social. 'Twas my first time drawing a feminine body type. Definitely more happy with how Violet looks than Cairo. He looks like a frigging rat, and I didn't quite get the pose how I wanted. Still better than I expected it to turn out 010
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Made these in October to practice doing non-flat colouring. I basically just took an airbrush and scribbled until it looked okay. Not the worst things I've drawn, but I'm not sure I like this way of colouring. Will keep experimenting 020
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Two nights in a row without sleep. My brain is hazy enough right now to drop the ego, so I'm gonna post some drawings I've been sitting on 000
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Super happy to hear that! Sometimes we all need to take a breather and watch a Zangoose fall down some stairs 010

carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 04/12/2025My insecurities have been creeping up on me again. I've also noticed that I've been evading social interaction a bit more than usual. Almost makes you think the two are related, huh? 000
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 23/11/2025Been sitting on a few short stories/novellas for a while now. Decided to finally make one public tonight.

carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Also gotta keep character sketches simpler, too. Even just stick people would've been better, I reckon. Most importantly, though, I think trying to "smooth" some of Trudeau's movements (particularly of the hand) would be of benefit in the future. Here, Allen's hands are a bit jerky 000
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Definitely learned a lot through this little project. When animating 3D things that change angle, I gotta start out way simpler with the sketch than I did. I ended up having to redraw the stairs completely as I wasn't happy with them (and I'm still not, truthfully) 100
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Yes, this is the stupid animatic/animation thing I've been working on since July. Embarrassing, I know, but at least I finally got it done. Here's the original video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRHN...youtube.comCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau falling down stairsYouTube video by jvalicen 100
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Took a few days' break from the animation/animatic to draw this. Weird to think it's been exactly six months since I last spoke with J. I wish I had thought of a better conversation topic. I miss you, man. 000
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 04/09/2025Past-self owes current-self an apology for making me commit to this animation/animatic. Current-self owes future-self an apology for being stubborn and sticking with it. Future-self is deaf and will commit to another project. I am in debt to myself and inept to everyone else 010
carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 03/09/2025No rainbows allowed on the site. Got it. I will mark this down for future reference 000
