1400s/medieval - a moment in the woods

some rp stuff, fishman & old colleagues back when they dove treasure for a job

that last old man but i turned the clock backwards some generous twentyfive years to his horrible knight days

WIP-- had to rewrite my old man's whole thing so he is getting a lil makeover

linework testing for the project bunch of men and one long-suffering woman, all staff at this very very gay castle

i have always had a specific dislike towards even glancing at past work. usually any which piece i make goes into that bin in about three days, month if i'm lucky, but having dug up this specific picture for this redraw, i was spurred to go back and look at more of the things i've made (the files on my external harddrive go as far back as 2018). and, well-- none of them were actually as bad as i remembered them being. my memory seems to fancy applying a 'patina' on things, usually formed by the feelings and thoughts i had when i filed any which one of them away. with art, for me, that feeling tended to be disappointment and shame about the mistakes i noticed or how i figured i'd 'fallen short'. while those didn't make me quit, as art has always been more exciting than it is actually painful, the consequence still was that all these years i didn't think i had improved at all. but then, when i did dare glance back and check, i found all that length of road left behind, the mileage (and suprisingly good things!) that i forgot about with how driven i was to just stare directly forward. none of that time was occupied with 'methodically practicing' art as the craft it is either. and yeah, maybe i would've improved faster, stumbled less, had i done it 'properly' like myriad websites with art bootcamps and other resources have told me to. i won't say i didn't try, because i did, but boy did it strike me with such overwhelming boredom, that the whole concept of drawing became unattractive. It's just been about the next exciting thing on every step, to which improvement is a byproduct. and that'll do for me, i think.

anyway here was my solution, wild linetool scribbling and i instantly feel better about the fact i can plop my little guys down anywhere the scene needs and know where the walls are.
