Time passes so fast once you remove the markers of productivity. Ah well, trying to get better at beating myself up less. There was still work afterall, just none of it ready to show (yet) 😂 At least this model is probably as done as it will ever get. All that's left is the rigging...and, afterwards, the huge looming question of wtf will I even do with it 🤣

On to the next

 

Kinda ridic how much of a struggle this was for a portrait. Or is that...every time? 😂

Line art test

 Well ummm, another first for everything? 😂 For a first shot at making comics (or sequential art of any kind for that matter, besides the one equally amateur shot at storyboarding almost 10 years ago), I think the panel logic most definitely needs a tender edit. But whatever man, the test was for line art. Let's see if this goes anywhere 🤣

Can you hear me?

 It's strange because it feels I work super slowly, super inefficiently, make tons of mistakes, could have streamlined everything so much better overall, and yet...somehow I'm still finding more free time than before? What is constant, though, is the frustration.

More. I need...more.

Romeo, King of Puppets

 "Pity we have to meet like this, though."

This game's aesthetic hits me in the spot so hard 😭😭😭

Avatar Academy

Art test for Nickelodeon's trainee program. Possibly another turning point if this flies 😂

Shadow

 

I'm not actually interested in Marika that much. All along it was just an excuse to draw more of this guy *-*

Update: Got removed from the official ER subreddit because mods marked this (and the last one with Marika) as AI. Guess it's another backhand-compliment-signifier that I've made it??? But if so, where are all my follows? :( :( :( Here's to hoping the appeal goes through and that FromSoft (if they ever actually look) dun also think am just a sham 😭😭😭

 

Update update: omg LOL 

There I have it, the reality check I needed to keep my head out of the clouds. Keep at it Jing, you ain't there yet, just as you always knew 💪
