Just breathe in
Prime shitposting hours.
Finally, an original artpiece for the first time in a long while!
I had an idea roaming in my head for a while about wanting to paint a mystic creature in an ambiguous setting. As a kid, I always drew (or rather doodled) monsters without any motive than just "I just think they're cool :)". This painting is partially in homage to those times. I also wanted to fulfill a personal wish from all those years to make a full on illustration when my skills were ripe and capable to render such a feat.
Personal. Ignore my signature on the shadow, it's only there to prevent art theft.
Update Mar. 12, 2024: Holy fuck does this word have a different meaning now. I named it in reference to the character being a little mischevious hooligan, not that ._.

Personal vent on having insecurities as a trans dude. It's not only an "insecurity" but thoughts that after thinking for a while, can eat me away.
I may not sound like a "man", I may not dress in anything but a loose shirt, or use much else like a tank top from not having to expose feminine parts of my body. I sometimes even feel afraid of speaking on women's issues as many think you must be a cis woman or appear as one to speak on it (this erases the existence of transmasculine/nonbinary individuals).
"You don't know what it's like to be a (cis) woman" Jokes on you, especially those that use their platform for reproductive or women's rights but only focus on letting one group of people born with ovaries speak on it.
I do not want to speak upon any medical plans about my transition either after realizing it's just about how "Okay, so how will you change as a woman to a man?". I do not want to talk or bring up how I was born a woman. This is about a personal journey into becoming who I really identify as and I no longer want to remember who I was born as.
I do not want to feel insecure. And what I only ask from people is to allow me to feel comfortable to speak without worrying I sound feminine and speak on anything that isn't on answering basic or very personal transgender-related questions.

This was originally a parody submission to Meat Canyon's parody contest... to which I liked way too much and thought to release it online for everyone to take a look at :,)
It was out of ridiculous luck but I even managed to get this wonderfully narrated by iTomFoolery on YouTube to bring this mess to life. Please do not hesitate to check his YouTube channel out for many other great narration videos he's done, he deserves every attention he can get!

Ayyyy, this is my first ever art trade! I got the rad @buckle.queen on board to choose and recreate an art piece I've made/ vice versa. For my part of the trade, I got to recreate her illustration depicting her character, Birdman. I don't know if you can tell but drawing monsters butter my croissant (it was a personal past time for me as a kid) šš©.
Thanks Spook for this opportunity! I enjoyed the process and being able to work with a wicked OC!! ^^

(Something I had in mind for 3 years before I actually painted it).
(After note) Fun fact: This painting is actually unfinished and simply due to me being so insistient to post something as soon as possible on my Instagram page. Therefore, there's going to be parts of the painting which looks blotchy, off lighting/shadow-wise, and other fun stuff.
Apple my beloved. š
@eeorks created a wholesome being and I give back unsettling fanart (by the way, I love their art and wholeheartedly enjoy their own illustrations and creations overthere! :) ).
(Caption from Instagram):
Skwidwah fanart again. But this time itās recreating that one drawing as a chiaroscuro style painting. Havenāt painted in a long time so I needed something to practice with shadow and lighting. Also just wanted to try something with a Renaissance influence because Iām unapologetically fond of the Renaissance era art.
I honestly don't remember why I drew these

āEmo Spongebobā Blender, 2020.
Ever since I saw the original 2000s image on the internet as a kid, Iāve never forgot about it since.
Additional words about it:
I gave 3D modeling a try and this is the first thing Iāve ever made. There wasnāt much difficulty other than the fact that my laptop was very slow at rendering it due to it not being built for this sort of use, causing it to take 1 hour to render it and almost crashing and dying in the process.

I only drew this because I wanted to make a sticker design (although I'm not planning on producing stickers myself anytime soon)

Back with another painting, this time with Gudetama. š„ As with any project I do, they come with a challenge. And with this case, it was tackling glossy texture. I cheated a bit and used references of glass figurines and fried eggs for this but overall it taught me a lot about how lighting affects gloss.
Made this somewhere in March 2020 when quarentine was the daily norm and I couldn't help but feel anger at how many people COVID was hitting and killing within a day

āThe Renaissance Artistā, 2019
There's two things that were new to me while making this: Anime and Historical time period (1550s). While successfully illustrating both those things in the end, I really wasn't ready to search up the exact time era with how easels, self portraits and even clothing looked at the time along with trying a whole different style (*cough* *cough* anime). The way anime illustrations are done was the most interesting experience to learn. Not only that but the hardest thing out of all of this was creating the sea water. I don't know how I did it but it was a lot of trial and error with this one."

āIT WAS BIG! SCARY! AND PINK!!!!ā (Long description ahead)
So I did a mini project with trying to imagine an Alaskan Bull Worm in real life. :)
The process with designing the Alaskan Bull Worm wasn't as difficult but I did had to learn a little bit about worms and their physiology. So after getting some references, I got into work with interpreting the iconic worm. Honestly the hardest part about this painting was trying to create the sandy aquascape. I tried making the sand texture as objective as well as adding some aqua stuff seen in Spongebob (blue rocks, the corals, etc.)

Iāve collaborated with @chubtoy to create this chubtoy! Other artists are welcome to join in this project as well. Just leave them a dm about it and you can create your very own chubtoy! :)

Having a fascination with geometry, I once came across "sacred geometry" which brought me into a rabbit hole for these beautiful and intricate patterns. And then on, decided to make my own "sacred" design using a large canvas and a makeshift-giant compass for the volume (using two yard rulers as the compass'"legs" and a pencil taped onto one of them).
Finished this during June 2019 for an art showcase and as an "end off" for being a graduating senior at an art-focused highschool (where the exhibition took place).
Some drawing of a friend's OC from highschool. One of the rare times I've ever drawn something animal related

My sense of humor has gotten so random to the point where I thought painting this was the funniest thing Iāve ever thought for an art piece. (Also confession: up to this point Iāve never had Jollibee but Iāve really wanted to try it. Can anyone give me recommendations on what to get from there?)
(After note) I still for the life of me cannot spell his name right without having to look it up.

Squidward stares at me with an energetic wave of romance. He gives a smirk and kneels down on his tentacles. āWould you be my bride?ā asks Squidward. He reveals an engagement ring heās been hiding beneath his clothes. I tear up, unable to process what just happened right in front of me. But without thinking about it, I stutter āY-y-yes, I-I do....ā. And so he starts to cry after hearing those words. Itās the beginning of a new family. ā¤ļø

Did some digital collage for fun. I really liked how this turned out.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what my art has come to. Thanks for stoping by.
