look past the mirror

I haven’t posted here in a while. I’ll try to change that.

Hey guys. It’s uhh.....been a while.

I’m so sorry for disappearing for like 8 months. Life got really busy and I barely had any time for my art. The school year has just begun, again, and I know that I won’t have that much free time. I feel so bad because I basically abandoned this account.

I was planning on coming back a while ago, but things got in the way. I’ll try to be a little more active on here, but I probably won’t be able to post that many finished pieces. For the next couple months, I’ll probably post sketches/doodles/random thoughts? 

I’ll admit, I also wanted to step away from PotO for a bit. I wanted to explore different fandoms and different kinds of media.

But I can assure you, I will continue to post here. In the mean time, I want to focus on my academics.

Sorry for being inactive for a little bit. I’ve been dealing with a lot of school work and I wasn’t able to get to a computer for Thanksgiving break. This year, my birthday (Nov. 26) landed on Thanksgiving, so that was fun :)

Day 12. Favorite Costume

Of course, I had to choose the iconic dressing gown with the slave girl bodice. It actually looks kind of comfortable. As always, I used bright red lighting and grossly overused the “Add” and “Gaussian Blur” filter. (*Cough cough* my pfp)

I love using really dark shadows but I’m hesitant because I feel like it makes it harder to see what’s going on and it can make the anatomy/face look funky. But I think I did well here. 

Day 11. Favorite Ballet Scene In a Musical

Day 7. Favorite Design From a Game

I know I already did Morga but I can’t help myself. I love her design and the design of her companion,  Jæger. I feel like they complement each other well and you can really see their personality’s shine through. 

Day 6. Favorite Game Character

Day 4. Favorite Character From a TV Show 

Callum from The Dragon Prince!

I love him so much because I feel like he is a pretty accurate representation of a young character with anxiety. But he also doesn’t let it define or control him. Even then, he still second guesses himself and his decisions. 

2019 vs 2020: Gleb Vaganov 

Behold, Erika!

I wanted her hat and veil to be the female equivalent to Erik’s fedora. 

The living bride...

A LOT of people have been making poto ocs and I decided to do so as well. Say hello to Odette! (I’m still deciding on what surname to give her)

She works in the costume department. More specifically, she designs and makes the jewelry used in the costumes (as seen in the bottom right drawing). She (sometimes) likes to try on the jewelry to see how it fits and also because it makes her feel pretty :)

Some Leroux!Christine because I haven't drawn her in literal years. 

Some Nadir sketches. I still don’t know if I’ll keep this design considering that it’s hard for me to get right. I like how the bottom right ones turned out.  

Some Raoul sketches.

Remind me to never draw the Hannibal dress ever again. It literally took me days to finish all the details on the dress but they’re so small :”)
