Oscillating between 'I've got juice and might be able to do a thing w/ friends!' & 'if I don't lay down RIGHT NOW I'm gonna crash hard', but at least I've figured out the pattern & warning signs. Post-viral fatigue is kicking my ass lately but I'm thankful for my patient frands
Warmup with Akarrei, because goodness knows I need more practice with his color scheme. I can't paint horns, and purple is a hard color for me to wrap my head around, but all in good time - that and he's just fun to draw; Elf shapes good
Sometime this week I started sketching an Amalthea on a whim and went 'yknow, this could be an excuse to do delicate lines for once' and then regretted every minute of it
'I am no longer like the others, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I now I do. I regret.'

@MoxOpalBestMox made my boy some daisy dukes and we lost our minds and we just knew. We KNEW what must be done,,, Just #Elezen Things
Thought to finish this off as a warmup for other things; Drawing characters napping or otherwise just resting is one of the most relaxing things I can think of. It's pretty contagious and it was an excuse to draw Bapie(tm)

More WIP shots! Looking for constructive criticism on what's here, ignoring Akar's ears and both bg's for the moment.
Known problem spots:
-Lighting reflections on the skin/fangs
-Horns (god why. these are so hard)
-Stronger shadows
-Edges of the hair
Beyond that, hit me!
Executive dysfunction wrecked my ass today but at least I was able to play with colors some😔
A while back I updated Akar's tats in writing, but never got around to making a visual ref. Narrowed the big ones on his back down to an approximation of the Venthyr mark, and I dig it
Well that's rather enlightening, if unsurprising https://t.co/8wWf0MsHTR
Ope, time for greenbean! Using this to try and get my mojo going/any semblance of productivity, and so far, we're starting to get somewhere. Painting frightens me, that's why I'm doing it
Colors are a strong suit, but the process is not
It's a Hyperfixate On Warm Colors day, so here we go, flailing at the rendering little by little
(A good cure for a positively awful mood, tbh)
