cryptid arts

this is a blog dedicated to my art! as such, I will not be reblogging or liking other people's posts from here, and my text posts will only be stuff related to the art I post here! (these posts will be tagged as "#text post") if you want to see what I have to say about my interests or various other things, go check out my personal blog @drudeger!

what kind of art do I post here?

illustrations, comics, animation, writing, videos; I'll post whatever it is I happen to feel like making! generally speaking, though, I'm a fan artist as well as a furry artist, so expect to see art related to media I enjoy as well as funny animal related things. wips will be tagged as "#wip"!

im trying to practice skipping the refined sketch and going straight from the under drawing to the inks. I like how it came out for the most part, but I think im still being too conservative with my mark making. enjoy!

so. new post after one million billion years. sorry for pulling a disappearing act on everyone. now where the fuck have i been

for the most part, ive been in a love hate relationship with school where we take turns absolutely destroying each other, just fucking wrecking each other's shit. so theres that!

i jest (but not really) ive made new friends and its mostly been a good time. ive improved a ton at art and yet I havent posted any of my art. whoops!

basically, posting to social media feels mostly like a massive chore to me and id rather do literally anything else most of the time. but! my audience will inevitably have to be primarily on the webs, so alas, we cringe on! I wholeheartedly appreciate the support of those of you who care about my work 🙏

so on the agenda now as the school year closes out. summer's coming up and my plan is to get #employed. my plan is to ALSO continue working on my art. artfight js coming up and maybe I'll even do a little bit of that

here's a sneak peak for some refs I'm working on, if I can get one done before artfight starts then it may just be in the cards for me yippeeeeeeee♡

please go download the zine and appreciate everyone's hard work, I hope you enjoy!!!

I'M FUCKING FINALLY OUT OF THE SH*D*WB*N MINES SO ITS TIME TO POST THIS HERE

(completed june 13)

after one krillion years, I've finally completed a new art piece.......

I've been drawing nothing but boxes, character portraits, and proko hw for the last century so I decided to treat myself and do something fun and out of my wheelhouse. for the bit.

I said I've been working on head construction and aside from a prolonged break a couple months ago due to health and school stuff, I haven't stopped working on it. so here's a bunch of character portraits I did a while ago. all of em r for the big multiverse au comic project I'm working on. more to come.

I drew my dog!

new post sent directly from the hands of god (me). if you couldn't already tell, I live my life in a perpetual mental fugue state,. so while I've actually been drawing a lot these past several months, I haven't posted any of it because 1. most of it has been uninteresting drawing of boxes and B. posting art on social media drains all of my life force.

anyway, drawabox is a thing I've been hyperfocusing on. and at the end of the year, they do this big thing called promptathon where you postpone all of ur hw to draw at least one thing a day for one week using their drawing prompts. and I did that. and these are that. I can't remember the exact prompts for any of these because all of them are from december.

made myself some fan merch of darbi!!! (NOTE: this is NOT for sale, it's a design I made exclusively for myself)

and here are the plain designs! I had a few variations, but I ended up going with the first one for the shirt

the road is lit blinding white, like sunlight reflected off the snow in winter. it's cold. a glance behind him reveals vacant space where his team should be. illuminated from behind, his face is cast in shadow. he turns to the light. continues forward. the space where he once was, now empty. the road is lit blinding white.

ok ngl, when I first conceived of this analysis, it was way more direct. like “the first panel establishes the mood of the page, with the lighting almost feeling overblown like when snow reflects the sunlight in winter” kind of thing. but at some point it just sort of became an ekphrastic poem. oops! but then again, ekphrastic poetry is its own sort of implicit, abstract analysis.

HOLY SHIT, A POST?????

ok so I've been working on head construction!!! I've got tons of unfinished underdrawings that I'm not going to post, but I did do some character portraits so here!!!!

from oldest to newest: hinata, atsumu, free, and then shu. I've only had time to line the hinata one </3

here's a fucked up shu drawing
