i should look at a tutorial on how to get more popular and get more people to look at my stuff

anyways

i'm gonna draw my persona as a yu-gi-oh character cause i thought it would be funny, what with all of their belt straps and unrealistic hair styles

i'd say he looks pretty overqualified

why is it that almost every time i join a discord server, it's either

1. dead as hell with little to no activity
2. the people in it are these snowflakes (who are usually queer activists) who take everything i say that deviates even SLIGHTLY from what they're used to hearing from their little circlejerk hugboxes as a threat along the lines of something as bad as school shooting or bomb threats
3. egotistical power-hungry moderators with their head way up their ass who ruin the server experience and will ban/ridicule you for doing something as simple as asking a damn question

for once i'd like to be in a good server

and yeah i would make my own but i only have like.. one friend (two if you count my brother), and i don't want to advertise it constantly cause that'll get really annoying

sometimes i wonder why i even bother drawing if nobody is going to see it

-redesign itanji/kaishin and give NEXUS a proper design

-give my persona a new human redesign along the lines of that one digimon tamer thing i made a while ago because i work better with humanoid characters and i'm fucking tired of people calling me a furry

don't lump me in with those weirdos (yes i know not all of them are sexual degenerates that live in ways regular people like me wouldn't understand but still)

-make my art look as anime as possible. like, so much so they look like a clip out of an actual anime—something along the lines of yu-gi-oh or the newer digimon series (like, fusion/xros wars and onwards)

im still working on the thing from a few days ago, it's just that it's taking longer than i thought because i have to draw and color in two characters instead of my usual one

(digimon frontier, episode 7: island of misfit boys, 3:17)

since i haven't posted anything in 2 days i feel like i should post a couple of updates on my last post

i had loosely referenced tyrranux's refurbished megaman design because i liked it and it fit the bill for what i had in mind for the character i'm trying to create

i didn't copy it 100% because

1. i'm not good with that kind of detail
2. that'd be cheap

and i ended up with:

it's pretty solid, i'd say. kinda looks like a kamen rider/ultraman character but it's pretty solid nontheless. it definitely needs some lineart to touch up on some details though

when drawing the lineart i felt as if it were pretty lackluster, the lines were flimsy, crooked and weird with dips in them so i looked for some lineart tutorials

i found this video and this very helpful comment:

and when i put all of this together i got this (this is just a w.i.p):

the lines look sharp, i like it

still looks crooked but i don't think it's THAT bad. i could see the comic having this artstyle

(the Mesh refers to a device that functions similarly to Biometals from Mega Man ZX in the sense that it's a device that turns the user into a super-self with a powered exoskeleton, minus the souls and essences of dead robots)

(the triforce is there because not only does he possess a piece of it, he also possesses the spirit of the hero (despite being neutral due to his biased views on heroes and villains) and is an (unorthodox) incarnation of link)

i scrapped this drawing cus he looked stupid

anyways i figured that since i can't think of anything else to draw right now i might as well start making progress on that comic of mine by making a finalized design of the main character.. again

i think i have a good thing going

i opted to have his hair look similar to yugi's cause his hair looks kinda cool, it isn't an exact replica because i wanted him to be somewhat distinct

one small problem.. remember this post i made (you probably don't but still)?: https://tengukuru.newgrounds.com/news/post/1473799

that's why there's a blank character on the right: because this guy has a robot suit

but that's the thing though, i've never drawn a mech before so it might look like ass. i'll try my best tho

was gonna make a post for the beginning of october but i procrastinated on it too long

anyways i've got all this energy inside me right now

like i feel really pumped and i just wanna run around and shit and im listening to metal(?)(i think it's metal, i don't care about genres, i only care about what im feeling)

so im gonna blow it on drawing since i haven't done that in a while

and my submission didn't get even one notice

not one

not

a

damn

thing

absolutely nothing

i don't care about the money i just wanted SOMEBODY to notice my art

..this might be the last time i draw for somebody

no use in drawing for somebody or something if nobody's gonna see it 😤

ok so first off,

bridget's a guy and him being trans in guilty gear strive is one shitty, poorly thought out retcon. don't try and gaslight me i know the truth

..hell i'm not sure if he is trans because he only said "i'm a girl" once out of the thousands of times he's said "i'm a boy". and even then, that line was poorly translated

you can try and argue against me if you'd like, but i'd imagine it'd be so tiring and sad being wrong all the time :((((

femboys =/= trans people

no i dont play guilty gear

..but i might. for bridget

anyways earlier yesterday i decided to start drawing with intent to make a finished drawing rather than a scrapped shitty one that will never see the light of day outside of my mega folder

..but who to draw, i wonder

i did stumble upon a few twitter posts relating to bridget so i decided to draw him (based off of his guilty gear xx design because it looks simple enough) because he's pretty cute (no homo)

but it's getting pretty late for me right now (4:54 AM) so have this unfinished sketch for the meanwhile

i'm using a brush with static line weight this time around because a mutual of mine in a discord gc suggested it

i thought it was retarded cause i bought a drawing tablet FOR line weight but i decided to do it anyways cause... fuck it, it might work
