Hi, this is my art account!!! I draw 90% OC stuff so fair warning if you don't give a shit about that. The most updated high quality versions of my art, other socials I use, and everything else are all on my website. vaporluck.neocities.org

Was thinking about this again so I wanted to try actually making it. Looked pretty shitty with outlines so I decided to do a dropshadow instead which I quite like.

Just musing logo concepts

Could probably redo the 2x one quite a bit at some point but the 1x one looks pretty good imo

drew this as a joke for a thing and then i actually committed to it

I ended up overhauling my website's art gallery page! OC info is now separated from the art, with shortcuts to each section where it's relevant. This was fucking confusing to make but it was worth it!! vaporluck.neocities.org/changelog

Really, most of the difficulty came down to having changed a lot of URL paths, and having to stay consistent between links on either section. I hope it works... BTW, I removed a lot of things that are now irrelevant to the current stories/ideas of my projects. No need for them anymore.

here's a drawing of that dickhead because she guilt trips people for fanart >:P

It's genuinely so crazy to compare my art of the same character from only a couple years apart and see how much I've improved.

I'm also getting very slowly better at anatomy... it just feels really great to be able to see that. Even if my old art isn't obviously "bad", I can still see the difference and it's great. I draw faster too, now...

Art improvement takes awhile, but as long as you keep trying, you'll get there eventually. I wonder how my art will look in a few years time from now...?

It's not even like my old Aseprite art is bad, it's pretty good looking for a mostly beginner artist. It's just... wow, it feels a little more grounded now; Even for slightly glorified doodles.

I just wanted to try doodling her again, since my last attempt from a couple years ago looked absolutely atrocious. ...I think I did pretty good!

i don't wanna drawwwwwwwwww just take this weird creature i don't want it anymore it keeps staring at me in the doorway when i try to sleep its weirrrrrddd

I'm gonna be honest, I'm really starting to get fed up with my current artstyle. I feel like I can't really draw anything cool with it. At the same time, I'm worried about a few things...

I don't know, there's a lot of things I need to work on, you know? I have so many cool ideas, but my artstyle looks too... cartoony and simple. I love pixels but I think maybe I'm going in the wrong direction with how I'm using them. I'll have to figure this all out at some point.

Anyway, maybe I'll make some sprite art soon in the meantime or something. I'm too burnt out on regular drawing and I'm not happy with it right now.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm really starting to get fed up with my current artstyle. I feel like I can't really draw anything cool with it. At the same time, I'm worried about a few things...

So I'm at a bit of a roadblock... my current style isn't doing it for me anymore, but I don't want to drop Aseprite. Maybe it's just me, then? Maybe I could tone down the line thickness from 4 to 2 and draw to a slightly bigger scale?

Or maybe just draw bigger in general. Kinda hard when I don't have any big screens right now, but it could maybe work out. Honestly this kind of all stemmed from colors looking flat and boring... maybe I should actually learn how to shade. Or, uh, actually sketch for once...

I'm gonna be honest, I'm really starting to get fed up with my current artstyle. I feel like I can't really draw anything cool with it. At the same time, I'm worried about a few things...

If I use a different brush on Ibis, I have to drop Aseprite entirely, which I'm already used to and is my favorite art program ever because it has exactly what I like... plus no anti-aliasing which makes things way easier for me. Ibis isn't on PC and it's too simplistic (no animation stuff).

2. Editing existing art will be a pain I edit a lot of my art even after a long time just to fix issues I have with them or to update the character design. It's a lot easier to do this with aliased, small pixels, so the idea of doing this with an anti-aliased brush sounds like hell.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm really starting to get fed up with my current artstyle. I feel like I can't really draw anything cool with it. At the same time, I'm worried about a few things...

1. Incompatibilities between apps I use Aseprite on PC and Ibis on my phone interchangeably. The brush I use on Ibis is just regular pixels, and Aseprite is that by default, so I'm able to switch between them whenever I want and it won't change how the art looks.

It's going great so far

CRYSTALA is going through a MAJOR shift. I'm redoing practically the entire concept. I originally came up with Crystala basically as an excuse to "play dolls" with my characters with no real reason. Then it evolved DIRECTLY from itself and it became very hard to figure shit out.

TLDR; I need to ACTUALLY focus on worldbuilding instead of making characters interact "because". I'm finally trying to give these characters purpose and that might end up redoing their characterization pretty heavily. Here are my priorities for what I call "NEW CRYSTALA".

Maybe....finally.........there will again be a reason for why it's called CRYSTALA
