However, here's a little something, so subscribers on here won't be without updates for months! :D

Last year I bought some acrylic markers to try, and ended up liking this material a lot, so I've been filling a tiny sketchbook with stuff. Haven't shown them earlier, because I was too lazy to scan or photograph them.

I can't really call these "sketches", it's more like...tiny low-effort paintings)
Lanyard for testing out the colors:

Uuuuh...life update, I guess
I'm kind of in a roller-coaster state rn, because when I'm busy with something- I feel alright, but as soon as my thoughts are unfocused- it all gets back in the pit of despair again.
I think I must accept that I won't be fully ok for a long time ;_;

Buuuut at least now I've got a real diagnosis, and a confirmation that I am on autistic spectrum, so I might gaslight myself about "not feeling bad enough" less... And I've got some strength and desire to socialize and/or look at social medias...and I'm a more pleasant person to be around... That's some slow but positive change🫠👍

(Ideally it would be great to get a couple of big commissions (or a bunch of small ones), so I can keep my brain busy from grim thoughts, not feel bad for spending my savings on meds/appointments AND keep my art skill from completely rotting away, but it's something from realms of wishful thinking. alas! no one asked for anything for a long long time. And unfortunately I still feel very displeased with everything I do to draw personal things)

I must shout out about it here as well, because hey, I did some work too😌

My friend is writing a novel, which I love and characters from which I love.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/64722655/chapters/166291243
It's about a necromancer, who resurrected his girlfriend, transforming her into an unprecedented creature. And now they placed before many new paths- should they run away and hide forever? Or avenge girlfriend's death? Or try and make the lives of the city better?
Questionable decisions, mysteries, bloody fights, romance, and mayhaps some rich-assholes-butt-kicking ensue!

I witnessed this story develop from the very concept, and I genuinely want more people to know these characters and their lore, that's why I'm trying to translate it!

For now I've done only two chapters (so it's not super long read), so I encourage you to read it and give some love to Necro!

Because if there will be interest and love from the readers- then I'll get to translate the next chapters, and I WANT to translate the next chapters! Because I know there's mysteries, adventures and cool scenes ahead!

(and if there are big mistakes in translation- send them to me, not to Necro)

(main characters by me from artfight)

Deleted Dar support group tier because there's no Dar to support anymore

18y/o Izák turned out so well on the first mirror picture that I made a little detour to sketch one more

(i also blame a particular hue of old school russian rock i have on repeat rn)

Ok artistic pit of despair is postponed for now- I've got many horrible tiles to draw :D

_____________________________________________________________

Me: Alright I need to add a tiny bit more depression to the second pic.
*adds a fuckton of depression*
Me:....oops
the contrast will be devastating though. i guess.

Also I think there's a lot of empty space on the right, and even though I'd love to flex my broken-tiles-artin' skills, I gotta add a hand
(normally I would just cut unwanted parts, but I want both pictures to have the same format...)

oh wow it's almost a year, and it finally got progress? wild

zero logic in starting to add colors before, say, normal lineart, but at least it vibin' now
Also i love how grimy the mirror turned out

And even though I kinda like the liminal-spacey mood going on rn I think I'll cover everything as much as compositionally possible with tags/stickers/ads and all that stuff

Now all of them together!

Starting sketching for the oc kiss week early was definitely a good idea.
I'm not stressed, and having a lot of fun actually. Here are the proofs!

The no-kiss-art curse is lifted for now! So if the only thing that stopped you from asking for a sketch is shyness- shove it aside and gib me your OC while there's still time!!!! >:)
