Commission For A Friend-

Merry christmas everyone

For the longest time, I wanted Michael to blow up NotShasha like Dr Manhattan. A couple seasons later I kinda got my wish

What a great end to Art Fight 2024 (although I am late on the uptake to post).

I got to make 20 pieces of art, which is a significant improvement from my previous experiences, where I posted like 4-5 instead. I had a lot of motivation and good (?) work ethic / process to do that much, so I'm pleasantly surprised by the results!

Additionally, I was experimenting more to see how to streamline my work process, so there is a lot of experimentation regarding lineart, coloring, screentones, and compositions!

So here, I'll be showcasing all 20 of them, with credit to the characters' owners at the end of the post.

My own rendition of Ink5oul.

Look, I understand the ever-present fear that you're not good enough or that you haven't done enough with your time, but can we PLEASE not feel discouraged when seeing amazing work made by young people? Can we please stop seeing art in general and thinking "I'll never make something that good"? Beyond even art, whatever it is- looking at something and saying "I'll never be that good"? I decided I wanted to do art because because I was inspired by media I love- and I want to make things that do that for others- that drives them to pick up a pencil and start sketching OCs or writing a story that brings them joy and makes them feel proud of themselves. If someone genuinely felt bad seeing my work because "I'll never make something as good as that," I'd be DEVASTATED. That is the OPPOSITE OF WHAT I WANT. Please! Go, Make Something! Join in this thing I love! I want you to love it too! I want you to make things you love! Make characters you love! Make stories you love! Join in the joy of creation! Because it's fun! It's wonderful! It's expressive! And what you make, no one else will! It is yours! Love yourself! Love your work! Make things you love! Tell the stories you want to hear! Because if it's something you want, others will want it too.

I procrastinated on this for ages

New Epithet Erased song just dropped. "An Itty Bitty Evil Little Lullaby".

Giovanni sings a song to help Molly sleep! Or, tries to, anyways.

Get the song here. The name is currently under revision, so this link might break later. If it does, within a week "Itty Bitty Evil Little Lullaby" should be the correct title!
