Hey all! I've decided to make a new thread for my art. My old thread was a fork from an old account of mine from a time where I was an ignorant little pest. Since I haven't been active here for over 2 years, it seemed right to do this. With this new thread, I plan to post what I have made, and hopefully learn from what I make in order to improve my skills. You all are free to critique and give your free input. Any who, on with the art!















That's all I have for now. :P

cute girl and relaxing music. gj.

i have to say you've come a long way. i think the shading could be a little less scribbly, but the form is good, even if the pose is a bit generic.

i like the legs not in a pervy way but they're nicely drawn (i think)

I agree with rtil. well done!

It means a lot comin' from you :D . I've always liked having a more "scribbly" form of shading for some reason, like, when I'm drawing, it's an instinctive feeling I get. Maybe I'm just not yet good enough to pull it off though. Yeah, these generic poses are kinda my fallback when I force myself to draw something when I've gone without for months. More to come. Maybe I'll try to do less shading for the time being, and focus on anatomy and such, like drawing human hands and feet. Boots and gloves are my handicap @-@

Thanks, more to come :D

for the shading, try hatching in one direction, and lift your hand from the paper when you go back to start a new mark.

Thanks :D



Also sorry for not posting much. I assure you all though that I will post more. I have a few drawings that I will get to scanning and such within the next few days. Also new music and various other doodads to show off. :D

Longtime, no-see. I'll try to be more active here, and posting more works. Just can't seem to brake the hiatus.

legs are a bit stubby, and the profile of the head is not quite right. but other than that it's a fairly solid sketch

you're better than me

I'd have a problem if something wasn't wrong with what I draw :P . I hope to push out more works in the near future. I've been going through some of my older works, and it's inspiring me to get some more works done. Since I got my rig all situated for making more music and once I start using is for that, the want to draw and get stuff made and done will come back to me. Time will tell though :P

Keep telling that to yourself. I've learned early on that it's not about being better, though it's never an excuse to not strive to be better. Take your time and it'll all fall into place, so long as you don't give up like I tend to do. :)



I think I'm going to do some old and new meme for my next of works. Let's see how it goes!

woah terry i havent seen your art in about 50 years but this is a dramatic improvement!

Thanks person with name that does not ring any bells. (further information about who the heck you are is required. :P )


Also, more works soon. slowly but surely getting back into the flow.

Hello, been drawing a lot more, especially digitally. Here is a rework of an OC I have not drawn in about 4 to 5 years. Meet NET! :)

feels a bit unfinished, but anatomically it's more solid than your previous works

I like the robot. I must say that the hips are giant though.

As I look at it now, I can agree. At the time, I was still trying to find what kind of digital style that I was attracted to the most. That style at this point in time is one that I will not put much effort on expanding upon.

In any case, I am back with more art, and here to stay this time. Live gets in the way, but sometimes ya just gotta slap it around a bit.

What is going on with her arm, does she even have one?!?!?! or is it fishsticks rn

your work has gotten much stronger, there's a great sense of volume in that mermaid drawing.

i can just barely make out the arm that's tucked behind her head, but it doesn't read that way initially. like sam said, at first glance it looks like the arm is missing. colour might solve this problem but you might want to tweak the pose a little for more clarity.
