Art Fart Old School Edition
I don’t have the heart or wherewithal to post politics or apocalyptic climate news, though there is a lot of bad on both fronts.
I found an old USB with old art on it! The only thing I am doing is shitty left-handed watercolor cottages. They are NOT good. ONE was good, one was halfway decent. But the more I do them the worse they get.
Back when I was Deviant Art I tried to make “adopts” where people would pay money to adopt a character as their own. I didn’t do very well. Every time I try to make money with my art it fails spectacularly. This is a colored pencil Vanillite gijinka. I’m not a big fan of colored pencils. I don’t usually use them for finished art. Though they turn out better when I just don’t worry about and go nuts with them. Holy shit! Check that date! 2013!! I’m so fucking old! And you know what? My art is still shit! I haven’t gotten better at all! I will say though, I don’t practice like I should. I do best in a classroom environment and I don’t have the time or money for classes.
And look!! Old digital art! I used to color with Photoshop.
I wasn’t amazing with it. I never really learned how to do all the really good coloring. I am just mediocre down to my soul…
And speaking of failure! (I need to make more money but everyone is poor and its only getting worse so I don’t have high hopes. But anyway) I have two new games I’m going to be running! Humblewood: Slime Kingdom is ready to go! And, when the Vampire the Masquerade Sabbat game ends I will be running a VtM rock band Chronicle.
Failure 2- I need to get an old manuscript out of mini-storage. I am almost done with the Middle Grade novel I’m writing and I need another book to work on. I don’t have any new ideas but I have an old unfinished book that I figured out to fix a year or so ago. So I figured I’d take a crack at the old manuscript and fix it. BUT, the book isn’t in the house! So it has to be in storage. Poop. I hope I can find it… like I found my Photoshop 7 disc-NOT!! I never found it. It’s still in there along with some other items I would like to find but haven’t.
Oh, and another note on my failed digital art- one of the things wrong with it, is that it was hand inked art and therefore asymmetrical and wonky. Most modern digital artist sketch and ink on the computer to get ultra smooth and symmetrical results. I’ve never been able to get the faces I draw even close to symmetrical. That’s one of the reasons I need to keep writing. So I can leave my art and come back to it with fresh eyes. It may or may not help…



I bought the kitty goat adopts, but lost them along with the computer at the time. I'd love to buy them again if you still have them. Feel free to message me. I love your hand-inked artwork.
