I'm the most indecisive bastard on the planet so it took me forever to choose these--and then I forgot I had them done bc life shit happened, BUT----pls enjoy my art faves from 2024!!!

(laughing bc this could really also be called "OOPS! All North Water!")

Wanted to make sure I posted them at least before the first month of the new year ends! Adding two more Bonus categories below.... .. 👁️👁️

Congratulations, your whalers are twice as stinky now

Totally forgot that @littledozerdraws and I made them sonas ages ago..... ....Got the urge to draw them nasty fuckers again, but nicer this time. Also--Adding the initial sketchbook versions of them below the cut for fun, jiji (and also an alt version)

So everyone in my Mexican friend group has a shit memory and they can't remember character names from the stuff I like, so whenever I talk about North Water I have to refer to these three like this.. 🧍

I have kind of.. a default setting for the way I draw hands, and it's been so funny to realize that setting is just Sam Spruell's hands lmao; it felt so wild to start drawing Ole and be like 👁️👄👁️ "Oh I was MEANT for this.." because it just felt so right jshdjs

Then, as I fell more into the NoWa hole--- I remember starting to draw Drax more and actively bitching about his hands "not looking strong enough" or "looking too much like Cav's".. so I just pushed the thought to the back of my head and keep going; but before I knew it I started to see his hands all of a sudden Look like Him and it was so cool???

TBH IT WAS THE BIG REASON I STARTED TO DO COLLAGES bc I wanted to see my consistency but..

I've never seen this kind of definition before in the way I draw my hands--(I guess too because I've mainly been working with creatures for the last X years and their hands are a lot more traditionally non-human)--so it's been a really nice process to prove myself wrong and be able to define a human character by their hands??

I love being able to see the difference between the lads now, it makes me happy..🧍
