Sup deviants!

So, I decided to try this thing where every month, on my website, I do a little summary of all the things I worked on, and I decided to also copy that same post here as my journal, but I just decided this now, so it's late compared to the one on my website.. oh well... Also, Most of the drawings are posted here, so I'll just put the images of my WIPs. For August, I'm starting with a summary of the whole summer.

This summer is kind of a weird phase for me because I'm in a sort of testing phase. I'm trying things out. I've finally found a way of organising my things that sort of agrees with my brain, and I'm starting to be a little more consistent in my things. I'm still in a testing period, not just with my art and projects, but also in my personal mental health. some days I'm super productive and focused, but still eat and sleep... other days, I get sucked in one project and work on it till I'm physically unable to continue, and still other days, I'm just completely unable to work on anything at all for no apparent reason.

So anyway, This summer I mostly focused on my comic and on improving my productivity and stuff.

In May I did this piece for a contest by Jazza on youtube, maybe you know him, if not check him out, he's got awesome stuff. The contest theme was traditional vs digital art. This theme sparked this image of Da Vinci really enjoying modern technology. He was an inventor, so I think he'd really like digital painting. Of course, I had to shoehorn the Doctor in there, how else would Da Vinci get his hands on some modern tech? Plus I bet they're great friends eheh.

On the 18th of May 2017, Jacques Fresco died at 101 years old. The man was a big inspiration for my webcomic, and so I did this small water colour portrait, slightly stylized. His project (the Venus project, look it up) really inspired my world building in my webcomic. I even decided to add a "in memory of" page in my webcomic.

In June, I did the re-release of my webcomic, with the first page and I also made this little phone case for my friend.

In July, I Finished this piece in time for my mother's birthday. That's her as a proud Hufflepuff with her dolphin Patronus.

And for my own birthday, I did a cute little poster, and kimmykunkun drew a little something for my birthday, so go check it out on her page :)

And that's about it. I haven't finished anything in August. I mostly worked on the script for my webcomic, the drawings etc. Here are a few little previews of the things I've been working on.

Hey everyone!
So I recently realized that there was a lot of my stuff I wasn't posting here. Sorry onion head 'sigh'.
So I've uploaded a whole bunch of things, and I'll be uploading more in the coming week I've got too much work to do. .
Thank you for understanding!LEI

Weird phase

1 min read

Hello Internets!


So, I've been going through this weird phase. It's not quite an art block... more like a digital art block. 

Basically I can draw fine with traditional media (except paint.. I'm blocking on this one too), but as soon as I try to do something digital... It's just not working. 

And it's a big problem for my webcomic, since it's all digital. I don't really want to do it traditional until i get out of my funk, because I already started it digital and to have a weird part with traditional pages and then go back to digital... I'm just not okay with that. 

So I'm unfortunately sitting it out until I can draw digital again. And it's not like I haven't been doing anything. I've been trying again and again to draw the same page... with no success. I'll keep trying though. 

In the meantime, I'll still be releasing some of my other stuff I've been doing (Tumblr, Deviantart and my blogsite) and I'll try to be less picky about my art and post even some of the ugly sketches that shouldn't see the light.


Anyway, Ciao!

Hey everyone,
I've been stuck in a stupid art block for like ever. It's so frustrating. I've been posting little things I'm doing to try and get the creative juices flowing again... mainly on Tumblr though, and I haven't posted anything on here in a while. So I guess I'll post a few of the things i've been doing lately? Anyway, my art block seems to unfortunately be concentrated on a specific page of my comic, as I'm having less trouble with other projects. Which is pretty much why there's been a hiatus on my comic since April. (I'm so angry with myself srsly.) I'm trying to get over it, but every time i work on said page, I don't seem to make any progress... I tweak and re-tweak everything and I never seem to satisfied with the result *sighs*

Hopefully it's all resolved soon enough... in the mean time.. I'll try to post as many other things as possible...

I've read lots of comments about Deviantart's new logo, lots of negative and lots of positive.
A lot of people are gonna play the :"You shouldn't NOT like it, because it's about creativity and newness and blah di blah blah" but tend to forget that when it comes to art... some people like it, some people don't. And I'm not talking about ART with the BIG A.. I mean that different people like different things and styles of art. Some prefer classic paintings, other have a thing for abstract etc. 
Now... in my own PERSONAL opinion.. I find the new logo.... meh? I dunno, I'd like it for a math website... you know.. all about numbers and them sexy equations? 'Cause honestly that's what I think about every time I see it now. In fact, the 1st day it changed, I though I'd mistakenly ended up on a mathematician's website. It seriously looks like a "not equal to" sign :|
I mean it's a GREAT logo for math stuff... awesome even... but for art? It just confuses me. So by comparison, YES I like the old one better :P... because old is all I have to compare with.

Anyway, that was my 2 cents...

 Oh and btw merry winter stuff!
