And it's that time again, where I contemplate the state of my wallet and future bills and
sink into a deep start advertising my services once again! I'm available for short original fiction to your specifications, dragon rescuing a princess from an order of knights is fine, fanfiction with Bowser as the good guy is
kiiind of not so good. I'll of course freely accept any kind free donations as well, since I do like eating every day.
Or if you'd prefer, I'm also able to doodle things you might want to see scribbled somewhere, though I'm hesitant to call what comes out the other end 'art'. I do clearly need the practice though, and so that's still an option on the table.
Since I have something conveniently available, I'll throw up and example of Scribble Failure.
I happened to get a twitch in my brain that said 'Alice's shoulder-cape thing is kind of similar to part of the bloodborne doll's outfit. COMBINE THEM NOW.' So I scribbled some of it out, but unfortunately I proceeded with too much haste and just started putting detail in right away from the top down.
Because of that failure to start with a complete frame-work, proportions are visibly wonky and are already starting to look bad. Shoulders are there, hands are there, and
where are the rest of her arms, above the elbow? They don't exist, it seems, and that's disguised but not completely hidden by the cape thing. It's the sort of error that
might be salvaged with thought and effort, but is probably easier to just re-do from the start the right way this time.
It's one of the traps I keep falling into. I think 'Eh, I know how it should look in my
head and I'm good enough at doodling to just draw that' when.... I visibly prove myself shortly afterward to
not be that good at all.
