Omori | Basil

2017

Painting I made way back when. Got mad one day and stabbed a bunch of holes into it 💀. Talk about sublimation. I remember nothing about what led me to that decision. It's hard to see the stab marks because the painting's so busy, though.

Meant to be a tree that has all four seasons on it.

Hazbin Hotel | Alastor: Redesign, 2P!, Canon

~October 22, 2024 IbisPaintX

Made a little Alastor redesign/AU that sprouted from the thought of "what if Al actually had a poker face," since canon Al like actually doesn't have one at all. It turned into "Alastor that just doesn't emote with his face/is always expressionless."

Then drew this guy with Canon and @anic-mj 's 2P! Al, since they're both very emotive in very different ways).

I have a really hard time drawing Alastor. I'm finding that I really need to stray from drawing him like viv does for me to not see it as uncanny. I'm ok with this drawing, but it still feels semi-off.

This idea came from Halloween day 2020, and I brainstormed possible ideas Oct/Nov 2020. This whole endeavor was inspired by seeing articulated finger extensions on youtube.

This took a lot of time. There were quite a lot of lulls, but days upon days of work went into this. I didn't start taking progress pictures until ~October 2021, so a lot of the process just lives in my head.

By far the most difficult part of the project was figuring out the template for the crow mask itself. I knew of the whole wrap a body part in clingwrap and then duct tape to get a template, which I did around my head to get the inner headpiece, but that only works for fitted things.

I did a whole bunch of tomfoolery over gr10 winter break to get around this. I make like a paper mockup of my head, and then I built off of it with paper tubes to get general shape and structure of the crow mask down. This took so long omfg. I wish I'd taken a picture. I made a huge mess of the house for weeks over the break as I slaved over this stupid shite. Once i'd gotten it,,, it was just like,,,, kinda rudimentarily figuring out what size the foam pieces would be 😭

It worked out eventually, but man was it annoying 💀

I don't think I worked on it much after that until sept/oct 2021. Beginning of october was the final rush because I really wanted it done for the halloween.

When gluing together the pieces, I didn't have any barge contact cement so it was a struggle. Initially I was using a contact cement, but it didn't work well with the EVA foam, and I found that I was able to just pull the glue off once it'd become tacky (wouldn't even damage the foam - was just laying on top of it). So I used a lot of superglue and... other types of glue I can't remember to force em together.

Used a dremel tool and foam clay to smoothen the seams and add more details.

Magnets are embedded in the jaw for movement and to hold the jaw in place. Initially, I wanted the lower jaw to move up and down as I move my jaw, but I never figured out a way to get the torque to achieve that (and it was too late to go down that rabbit hole once i'd realised that the jaw wasn't working as I'd hoped).

Painting was a couple layers of mod podge followed by acrylic paint and then a couple sealing coats of varnish.

Teeth were made out of peachy-coloured polymer clay and glued into the mouth after it was painted. They were used to mould the foam clay gums prior to painting.

Then it was done!

Wanted to do all of them and then also the villains but I lost steam

Hellboy | Hellboy

January 12, 2024 - February 8, 2024

Hellboy posterish thing I wanted to make. Went with a mix of the comic hellboy and how he looks in the movies. I love Mike Mignola's art style, but I didn't want to rip it off completely. Especially since I'm most familiar with movie hb, so I wanted it to resemble Ron Perlman's hellboy,, (slightly, ok? 😭)

It's still not finished. Need to clean up the marker with some pencil crayons. This was my first time using some gifted ohuhu markers on a piece, and let me tell you markers are, like, the least forgiving medium. I'm predicting that's why they pair so well with pencil crayons (they be there to fix them mistakes 😭😏).

I learned that you have to be really purposeful with using the markers, cause a second pass will completely change the colour. This is what happened with his coat on the right and it bugs me everytime I look at it.

Some white acrylic paint was used to hide some leftover pencil marks in the bg.

I had had all of the weapons sketched in, but I changed it to be one big silhouette so it wouldn't compete with the piece's other details

The last picture is a little doodle of hb i did for fun. (I LOST THE FILE?!?? I hate my tablet's file system it's so badddd)

Edit** Finished it eventually (do not know the date xd) so I added it here instead of making another post 💔❤️💖

AAM Inktober Day 14: Mystic

October 20, 2024 India Ink on Paper

Worked on this one at the same time as the rest of the batch I completed on oct 19, but didn't complete it until the day after because the brush pen I was using was running out of ink!

I tried refilling it with the india ink I had, but it didn't work. The pen definitely uses some special kind of ink to let it flow through w/o clogging.

Anyways, I ended up just dipping my pen in the ink and using it as a brush. It worked, it just wasn't the same experience :(

This drawing was fun. The unicorn ended up pretty well. Think I messed up on its body's form, though.

Did this thing a lot in gr11 where I'd draw over photos of my friends. Here's one pseudo inspired by howl's moving castle
