I can't believe...

...that this is the last post of 2019.

The entire decade is ending, we're being flung into 2020...

And this is what I come up with for a post.

Narrator: "Unfortunately, her boobs were that big."
 A sexy Sarah.

...

This is why people are usually disappointed in me, I think.





You know, it's been a great year.
I'm being honest.

I mean, everything's come so far.

From the first few posts of this blog, aaalll the way back in January, to now, I think my art's changed a decent bit.

Of course, that means I've changed quite a bit as well.

But I don't think I'll get into all of that here.


I honestly didn't expect the planet to even survive, with all the shit happening to it.
Like, legit, once everyone realized that "oh shit global warming/climate change/whatever-the-hell-else-it's-being-called is a bigger deal than we thought", and when anti-vax became even hotter of a trend than it was last year, I gave it about... maybe half the year, generously.
But, here we are, December 31st of 2019, and the earth hasn't been totally vapourized like I expected, so hey. Maybe we are fixing the planet, and just not telling everyone about it.


I also didn't expect to actually turn Emmasworld into this whole, like, thing.
I just thought it'd be one of those "hey look, I drew some characters" sorts of things, but here we are, and I've got Slime Climb in the works (and if Sarah's voice actor would finish the recordings for their lines, then I could maybe have a release date of sometime in 2020 or something like that.).



I guess I should show the sketch of the drawing, hm?

Just like the last one, I sketched it out, traced it in pen, took a picture with my iPad, sent it to myself with a messaging app, then saved it to my MacBook.
If you look up at the very top of the notebook page, if you can actually tell, I was trying to draw an Emmasworld logo-y thing.

I failed.

And so I tried to erase it but I didn't wanna accidentally crumple the page or something.



But yeah. This year's been wild, hell, the entirety of the 2010s has been wild as fuck.

One of the most fun things though, in my opinion, was Inktober.
I think I said a lot more about it in the actual Inktober posts though, so ya know.

Well, anyways, I guess I'll see you all next decade. [ba-dum-tssh]

Really though, when the next post comes up, regardless of what it is, it'll be in 2020, so I'll see you there!

Bye for now!

Ayy, more shit

I think the best part of this is the boobs. Butt... then again, I think the best part of life in general is boobs.
Yes, I do actually art, I swear.
Just takes two-thousand-and-thirty-two years.


Fun fact: I actually had to draw this in Krita rather than my totally legit copy of ToonBoom Harmony because I'm using my MacBook, so that's why the lines aren't as... I guess smooth and vector-y...? as the other post.

Also, I dug out the Intuos tablet after like, forever, because the MacBook I got for Christmas this year is actually the one without the ports to plug shit into. (I mean, at least it has a headphone jack.)

So I had to kinda sorta figure out the Intuos again.

...I kinda miss using my Cintiq, now that I think about it.


You know, as an artist, one of the tips that everyone, and I mean everyone swears by is "shade in purple and set the layer with the purple to 'multiply' because it looks better", and for years I just shaded with black, or went through the effort of making layers for each colour of the drawing and then shading in a darker version of the colour that the layer I was on was for.
You might be wondering why.
The answer is because, well, I tried this once in Photoshop, and it didn't work as well as I hoped, so I had deleted the entire shading layer and vowed to never shade my art with that specific tip again.
Apparently it's a different layer blending mode for each program, as I've learned today by accidentally setting it to the "Luminosity" setting/mode/whatever the hell rather than the "Multiply" one, and it looks better than I expected it to.


And yes, my artstyle is, in fact, slowly starting to lose the whole "No noses but a giant lip because that happened sometimes in Eddsworld and I thought it looked super cool but I wanted to draw it all the time for some reason" thing that I did.

The nose, despite not being the whacky lip thing, still looks like you could shank a bitch with it, though.

I'll have to fix that shit later, lol.



This image was taken on an iPad. Then I sent it to myself over a message app, then downloaded it onto my MacBook.
Really not much to say about this besides "it is the sketch".

The sketch sucks, my handwriting is weird as fuck, that's all you need to know about this image.

And yes, I really did sketch this out on the 27th. It just took me a while to actually finish the full drawing because, well, ya know. It's art. And that shit takes forever.

Snow

Look. Snow. It's December. I have also completely forgotten how to do backgrounds (but at least the people look sorta okay)
The title says everything. It's snow. And there's people in it.

I actually did the sketch to this at like two in the morning, and then had to take a picture of the sketch, then import that image into my totally legit install of ToonBoom Harmony 17.

And then I did the whole drawing in one day because it's December 11th and I have to make something winter themed before the month is over and then everyone's focused on spring and shit again.

Man, it feels great to finally draw humans again.

After a very long sort of pause in my art, then Inktober, then another long pause because I was glad to procrastinate again, and then a bit where I only drew humans that one time, I have finally drawn a human again!

she attac, her arm cracc, but most importantly, she bacc.
And yeah, I know I completely fucked up the arms and the tail, lol.
Probably the shadin' too.
It's hard to draw humans when you're just now getting back to doin' that, ya know!
