iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Trying to stay motivated. Logging some studies, trying to use less lines and more thought.

Low energy day today - I consider my illustration yesterday as my day 5 Inktober piece - it technically contains a 'smack'.

This was my palette cleanser, sometimes you just gotta draw what your heart wants. Mini projects like this remind me I can still draw fun stuff.

Maybe I just need to study faces again. Eyes always feel off.

Day 4 of #INKTOBER Today’s words were cactus and sextoy I kind of went off the concept halfway through but felt compelled to finish it.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I am happy I have found the time to work on it, but I find myself too distracted, pulled away from my art for entertainment and responsibilities. That isn't bad, it just is what it is.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I started this page to catalogue my progress, and I have progressed, I've gotten better, learnt enough now to know how little I know. That this hobby for me is a career for others, a skill that constantly grows and evolves.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Maybe it's the fact that my skills still feel crude, that I can't realize some vision. I don't suffer from imposter syndrome, but I do get.. envious of how good others art is, not because I think they are naturally skilled, but that they have spent the time to hone their craft and I haven't yet.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Had a moment today where I had to stop and ask myself 'what the fuck am I drawing'. Obviously drawings are expressions of ideas but it just sat weird with me, almost like a guilt. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood or something.

This is so good, the shading on the cactus, to the subtle shadows of the rocks in the background.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Wanted to practice my looking up perspective, definitely needs some more work, but happy I did my piece for today.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

New sketchbook, new studies.

010

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Did this piece with colour highlights. I think I did an okay job with the ropes and caught the form well. I still have a lot to learn and practice when it comes to markers.

Day 2 of #INKTOBER #kinktober is “relic” and “shibari” The result is a cursed shibari mask!

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Back to my roots. Mech doodles. #sketch

Wait you were serious LOL! Amazing.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Day 1 of #INKTOBER and #kinktober Apple & Riding Didn’t spend that long on this one. Day 2 will be more a labor of love.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This is a good idea, I'll try to do the same! Looking forward to seeing yours too, your apple one has to be the apple pokemon naturally :P

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

smart thinking! My main worry these things is start, have one bad day then fall off after a week... :( We aiming for the full month this time!

110

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

And yes, this is my first foray into drawing anything p*rnographic really, which is exciting and sort of daunting.

001

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

So I might have already started my #inktober predicting that I would have days I won't be able to do them. I have my day 1 prepared. However I will be combining two prompts - Inktober and kinktober together, see how challenging it will be.

Pretty happy with this original piece wanted a somewhat dynamic pose. The leg placement feels a little off so might do some anatomy learning on the pelvis but I think I can see my face studies have paid off a bit

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Weapon studies. Had a lot of fun with these. Followed it up with an original piece without reference.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Some quicker studies from last night.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

This is so good Snoots. I love your pencilwork!

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Back to full body studies. But going to try my hand with timed gesture studies again starting tomorrow.

Drawing from imagination this evening.

Maybe a bit ambitious but might have a go at this!

Having a lot of fun just studying faces. Eye placements are getting better I think.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Enjoying these studies, faces are interesting as hell and the smallest details can change so much.

020

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I feel like I have gotten good with bodies, but faces less so. Time to do face studies for awhile. Learnt a lot about eyebrows today.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I'm so sorry this happened to you Mandy. Your support has been invaluable to me, and I can only imagine how awful it is to be constantly needled instead of praised! Good job on enforcing your boundaries.

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Had a vision for this one but noticed the proportions could do with some work. That being said I am happyish with this.

Quick sketch of Morgan in a friendly disagreement with a gang member. #ofthedevil

Should I use ink again as part of my studies, I definitely like it for parts of the rendering

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Trying to put what I learnt into practice. The cowardly knight.

010

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I also very tried to focus a little on backgrounds - even in low fidelity, gesturing to the scene or setting adds so much, doesn't it?

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Today is the day I started locking in on my studies. Focussing on overlapping forms and just learning from cool references. #sketch

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Today’s studies especially proud of the one on the right #sketch

Strifers @strifepunk.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Today’s studies. Starting to enjoy the rendering of the shadows the small details which give the form. The nose is subtle and sometimes less is more.
