Inktober - Week 4

Yikes, can someone please tell me how four weeks past in flash? Seriously, this month is just rushing by.  >.<

I was worried I wouldn't know what to draw after Inktober, but thankfully, me and my sister, Lostfairy, have thought of tons of EXO drawing ideas to draw. (EXO as fairytale characters, anyone?) XDD So be prepared for an EXO overload next month. 

Day 21: drain

Gosh, Skyward Sword Link is probably one of my favorite Links ever. XD His character arc and personality and, not to mention, his design is incredible. If you haven't played SS yet, you should totally consider it. XD

I had so much fun drawing a silly, exaggerated expression on Link. One of the reasons why I like doing those kinds of faces is 'cause if you mess up a bit, no one can tell because the expression is so goofy anyway. XDD 

Day 22: expensive

METTATON!!!!!!! *does jazz hands* Don't you just love the new million dollar boots he bought? XD 

I had so much fun drawing this picture. The boots were a bit hard to draw, and I didn't get everything to look like I wanted it to, but I still like the way it looks. XD

Day 23: muddy

I love playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I have a neighbor in my town that I like to draw. I've come up with my own design based on his look in AC. So this drawing is of me and my neighbor, Julian the unicorn. 

The writing on the bottom of the picture means rain in Korean. XD

Day 24: chop

The Neighbor from Hello Neighbor never has an axe, but I wouldn't put it past him. 

His face was so hard to draw, and I'm still not happy with it. XD I wasn't really in a drawing mood that day, heh. 

Day 25: prickly

I'm happy with this drawing. Have I ever told you that I love drawing creepy things? XD Seriously, its so fun. 

Alice's dress took ages to fill in. XD But I think it was worth the time it took. And I like the dramatic solid black ink on her arms and neck. 

Day 26: stretch

Okay, yeah, no, I don't know how to draw someone stretching. 

This is the first time I've drawn a Splatoon Inkling. It was rather interesting to draw tentacles, instead of hair. 

Day 27: thunder 

I know thunder isn't lightning, but they go hand in hand, no? XD 

I love Pit's design, but I messed up a few details. XDD I also drew Pit looking a little older than thirteen.

So far, I think this is my favorite drawing. XD 

- - -

I can't believe I'm on the last week!!!!! It's crazy~!!!!!! (Also, do you like my new backdrop for my art pictures? My family got a new table so now I have to take pictures on there, instead of the old one.)

What are you going to be doing in November?

Formal Wear / 15 Minute Sketch / Casual Wear - 30 Drawings Challenge

Hello, hello! ;)

I thought, since I'm drawing so much lately, I should post more than one picture per post this month. So today's post has three pieces of art! 

The next prompt was to draw someone in formal wear. XD I chose to draw Mettaton (from Undertale). I had this model-ish pose in mind I wanted to draw and I could not, for the life of me, find a reference photo for how to draw the head and neck and shoulders the way I wanted it to be. XD So, eh, it turned out a little wonky. XDD I haven't drawn that many side profiles, so that was a challenge for me. And I have to work on shading people's limbs and stuff to give the picture depth. :P

I made up the outfit from what I have seen other anime guys wear and real people. But I didn't have a reference picture up while I was drawing. 

Then, the drawing prompt was to draw a 15 minute sketch. Now, that was an intense 15 minutes. XD The person I chose to draw was, of course, Draco. I've drawn him so many times that makes it easier to draw faster.

*laughs a little* There's so many things I didn't have time to do. XD Like, shading skin or signing my name on it.

Also, I feel like a lot of people I show this to mention that he looks so grumpy. XD *is protective* Draco's just had a hard life! Be nice! You'd be grumpy too if you were in his shoes! AND EVERYONE CALLS HIM STUPID. LIKE, HECK. NOW THAT'S ROOD.

Ahem. I'm not crazy.

Now, it's casual wear. XD 

Um, welp. I trieddddddd to draw a dog on his lap. And... um. It's looks like a brown colored lump, to be honest. XD

There was another little mishap. This was the first drawing in my new sketchbook. And the sketchbook doesn't work with colored pencils cuz it leaves little white dots EVERYWHERE. So. *frowns at sketchbook* Humph. (The next drawing I did in that sketchbook I colored it with markers and it works much better! XD)

Other than the mistakes, I think I like how this drawing turned out...? XD *looks at drawing again and nods head* Yup. I think I like it. XD (Although on this picture I took of the drawing you can barely tell I gave the guy stubble. XDD Oops. :P)

Okay, that's all I have for you shanks today.

Remember WICKED is good! (Not!) (Why am I using Maze Runner terms??)

Do you ever use random terms or references from books just because you like them? XD *whispers* I do. All the buggin' time.

Promise

Hey faeries!

Made this little baby today. XD Didn't try hard. It was fun. ;)

I got inspired by Black Gryph0n's song called Promise. I listened to that song I don't know how many times today on repeat. XD It's so good! It's about a character in the game Undertale called Toriel. And the song fits her character so well. Ah! I just love ittttt. <3 

If you haven't heard the song yet, you totally should (especially if you like Undertale!). The song itself is wonderful even if you don't a thing about Undertale. Here's the link to the song if you want to here it!! Promise - Black Gryph0n

What songs inspire you?

My Wittle Crybaby

Hey faeries!

This week has been pretty crazy. I've been getting grad party stuff ready. And I'm almost done with all the decorations for it, but need to wrap up the last little details and whatnot. And there's be plumbing problems and that's kinda busy too. So yeah, life's a little full right now. XD

*takes a deep breath* All right! You remember that I've been drawing a series of Undertale characters, right? Well, I've drawn another one. This one is of a goat kid named Asriel Dreemurr. He's a really cute, little guy. Asriel's a bit of a crybaby, but he's still determined and has a big heart. XD 

I did Asriel in chibi style, of course, because I'm drawing a bunch of UT in chibi. It was interesting to draw a goat but as sorta a human as well. Human because he stands on two legs and I basically drew him as a chibi person, but he's a goat-ish because he has big ears and he's furry and he also has paws. Yes, yes, I know he's a goat but he has paws. I don't know why, but that's how all the rest of the goats in the game are, as well.

Here's a picture of how Asriel looks like in the game.

[source]

I didn't have a bright enough yellow in me and my sister's artist marker selection for Asriel's shirt. So I went into the old kiddie art supplies. I found a lovely yellow that worked perfectly. It wasn't the same quality, obviously, because it's just a regular ol' marker, but it did the trick nicely. I could use a darker yellow from artist markers for the shading.

Speaking of shading, I tried something I haven't done that much. XD It's a super simple technique and I should have thought of this a longggggg time ago, but... I did two levels of shading. The first level of shading I did was simply going back over what I colored with the same color. And then go over it again for the second level. But only go over key areas twice. It makes it look like there are deeper shadows and there are lighter shadows too. The deeper shadows are places where, let's say, the clothes wrinkle more. Or, for hair, color underneath the head or like behind the head, if that makes sense.

*light bulb goes off over my head*

*eyes light up in excitement*

*GASP*

I should do a step-by-step of how I color long girl hair! :O Maybe guy hair, too! What do you guys think about that!!?! *whispers* I think Sarah may already have suggested doing something like this. XD If you guys, like the idea, I'll do it sometime soon! I mean, I've got all summer to draw so sometime in there, I'll draw it for you. XD (This month is pretty busy for me, but next month is all clear! :D)

Eep, I'm actually getting excited about drawing something like for you guys. XD I think I'll have lot more time after grad to draw more. So excited, I just can't hide it! XDDD

What kinds of things make you super excited?

A Sense of Loss

Hey faeries! I'm done schooooooolllllllll!!!!! WOO. *dances* I. AM. DONE. GRADE. TWELVE. SCHOOL. YESH. XDDD

Ahem. That wasn't weird at all. 

Anyhoo! I drew Mettaton again. I drew him for my sis, Lostfariy, because she was feeling sick. And I wanted to draw her something that would cheer her up. :) I knew she really liked a scene in Undertale that had to do with Mettaton crying. (I don't think I can say why due to spoilers and snuff.) All I can say is... Mettaton made a choice and he regrets a sacrifice that he had to make when he made that decision. 

So that's why I named this art "A Sense of Loss," because when I looked up the meaning for regret one of the phrases in the description was that. 

Some people think Mettaton cries oil and others think it's regular tears and others still think it's oil and makeup. XDD I don't have a strong opinion about that. But I made Mettaton cry real tears in this artwork.

I colored faintly on Mettaton's eyelid to give him a bit of eye shadow. I like how it's noticeable but not in your face. :P

I also wanted to color in some pink in his hair because so many people do that and I thought it looked like fun. XD But it is not very visible, really. So. XD

I've been erasing lots more in my art to get lighter spots and I think it's been working out really well. XD As you can see, I did erasing in this artwork, too.

Wow, sorry, I've just haven't had a whole lot to say about art recently. And I didn't have the creative juices to write a post last Thursday; it was the last day of school, so yeah, I had a couple of draining tests. XD Sorry about not posting. :P

What are you going to do in the summer?

Napstablook

Hey faeries! 

It's a long weekend for me, so I can post earlier than normal! XD The long weekend has been really relaxing for me, so that's nice. XD I think I can even finish a book I'm reading today. :P

Napstablook is a sad little ghost in Undertale. He likes to lie on the floor and feel like trash. :P XD And he listens to music a lot, too.

[source for in game picture] and [source for the fanart]

Here's the pictures I looked at while drawing Napstablook. :P The one on the left is what he looks like in the game; so I looked at that one the most when drawing. :P And the one on the right is some fanart I saw, and when I was unsure of how to draw something, I'd look at that for inspiration. Oops, didn't even realize that the fanart has music notes around it, too. XDDD I don't think I did that on purpose to kinda copy it. :P 

Napstablook wears headphones in the game, so I drew him wearing them, too. XDD

Uhm, there's really not a lot to say. Ummmm, well, I drew his basic shape really fast. XD And I had to try a number of times to get the bottom of his ghost form right. :P Soooo, yeah.

Welp, I think I'm done here! So toodles!!! 

What have you been up to this weekend?

Mettaton - Lostfairy's Request

Yessssssssssssssssssss! I'm done the second last art request! *feels happy about self and does a fist pump in the air* XDD

Lostfairy, thanks so much for being okay with all the persistent questions about how you wanted Mettaton to be drawn! 

For all you who don't know, Lost had originally asked for a different art request than this one; but since I hadn't started drawing it yet, she got to change it and instead asked me to draw Mettaton.

Mettaton is from the game called Undertale, which I mentioned in a recent post because I drew Undyne. XD Mettaton goes by the nickname MTT sometimes; hence the reason why I wrote MTT on the drawing. :P Mettaton is an awesome robot with a glamorous sense of humor. He owns a TV show in the game and it has cooking shows, dramatic musicals, and other news reports on there. XD It's hilarious! (Just so y'all know Mettaton is by no means gay or something. He's just glamorous. And I won't ever draw a gay person or something of that type. That is not something I support.) 

I had lots of fun coming up with how to draw his hair. And coloring it was a blast! XD I liked adding the lighter parts to it, which is something I don't do that often. 

The shoulder pads on his armor weren't meant to be so blue - I got mixed up with which marker colored which color... So I wanted to color it the same color as Mettaton's pants but I ended up coloring it navyish gray/black. :P I actually don't mind it! It looks better than I thought it would. ^.^

I used a very light pink when I shaded his face. I think the rest of the pink in his outfit fits nicely together with the shading. 

The pose is not something I made up by myself. Some else had drawn a chibi base and posted it online, and so I looked at that when I was drawing. It was a different angle in the drawing someone else did, but Lost wanted Mettaton to be drawn from a front view perspective. 

Mettaton doesn't actually have the heart in his eye but some fan art artists draw him that way, and I rather like it. ^.^ 

I added hands to MTT because I felt if I did blobby style of hands I had done for Undyne than it just wouldn't look right. Chibi hands are easier and harder than I thought. XD The hand on the left was quick to draw but the other hand took a few tries (like a lot of tries). :P

Thanks so much, sis, for requesting art from me! ^.^ I loved drawing MTT! I think I'll have to do it again soon! ;)

Do you have a favorite video game fandom?

Art Request Number Three Is Done!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! The weekend is coming!

And. That. Means. No. School! 

Hallelujah! XD  

My brother, Josiah, requested chibi artwork of one of his favorite characters in the game called Undertale. The character is called Undyne. She's pretty cool sounding to me! I haven't seen or played the whole game so I don't know everything about her character, but what I've heard or seen is neat. ^.^ 

Undyne, I believe is named after water spirits called undines. So that's the reason she has gills and blue skin. XD

I colored this picture with my artist markers and I messed it up a little. DX There isn't supposed to be the line connecting her eye and eye patch... That happened because I accidentally went over that place twice with my markers and doing so left a very clear mark. It's nice for shading when it shows up so vividly that you colored twice in an area; but it's not good if you color messily. Like, *cough, cough* I did. :P

Another little mishap was that one of my markers leaked on the white background of my drawing. So instead of having a just plain white background behind Undyne, I had to improvise and add a pattern of the turquoise dots in the background. :P Tracey gave me the idea to improvise. I think it ended up being better with the pattern than without, actually. c: 

I had quite a lot of fun drawing Undyne's hair, because I loving drawing blowing hair and bangs like that! XD And I don't think I've drawn gills on a person before so that was a lovely new concept for me. :)

Josiah, thanks so much for asking for this art request! Makes me want to draw more Undertale characters. ^.^ I hope I wasn't bothersome when I showed my drawing so many times to make sure I got it right. XDD

Welp, that's all I got for you faeries today! ^.^ So... yeah. :P 

Have you heard of Undertale before? If so, what do you think of it?
