Banner Blockout

So as none of you noticed (or cares), I dropped all of the banners across all my social media pages. What banner, you ask? They looked/are a variation of this:

As you know, the characters in this banner are characters I've been developing for over 5 or 6+ years by now; they are always undergoing changes either in personality or appearances because I want these guys to be as organic as actual people. And as you know again, people in general always change over time.

Welp, it seems like I have finally achieved making these guys organic as possible because I'm revamping them again. It's not any changes appearances this time, but rather additions to their designs. I've realized that I wanted to design them more, so I'm going to try to do that as much as I can without making them visually complicated, but still in the ballpark of visually simplistic.

Here's a sneak peak of what I'm gonna try to achieve with every character

The look is not final, but you get the idea of what I'm planning to do.

Here we go again.

Back to the Future 30th Anniversary!

Thirty years ago, my all-time favorite movie was released.

Five years ago, I saw the movie on the big screen in theaters for the first time on its 25th Anniversary.

Today I bring you an unfinished piece I was gonna finish but I started it way too late to complete on time.

I'm not sure if I'll ever finish this since I'm too late, but I hope I do since I haven't done any BTTF fan art (or at least any good fan art) despite being a major nerd for this movie.

Ah well, looks like I was...

Also, this just so happens to be the 300th post on the blog! Weee!

Because Why Not

There was literally not a single downside to this decision.

What's a Art Amino?

Not too long ago, I joined a little place called "Art Amino." It's an app that's solely dedicated to the arts and users are able to post their own art works and such. I joined because I thought "Eh, I don't got much to lose." It's kind of like an Instagram sort of place, but only pictures of art works are posted.

It's a nice place; for now, I'm just using it casually and exploring this app's community .

You can only access it through the Art Amino app so if you have the app already, search me up! My username's, of course, Doji Pocket.

I'm not sure how long I'll be active since I'm just checking it out for now, so we'll see.

Cartoony Skelly

So we did a skeleton drawing project and

I got marked down for making it "too cartoony." It wasn't even on purpose.

Somebody kill me.

Caricature Drawing

For another quick assignment, we were told to draw a caricature of any person of our choice, so I went ahead and did one of Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Super Mario and the Legend of Zelda.

Here's the main piece of reference I used, which was a screenshot I took from a Ninten \do video

And here's the drawing I did of him

I did the whole body, but I decided to just show off the main part of the drawing.
Personally, I love how just everything about this cartoony style just fits Miyamoto.

New Pen Tips!

Part of the reason I haven't done anything digitally (besides school) is that the tip of my current pen has been scratched down to a weird slope that makes drawing very difficult that times.

Now that I've received new tips, drawing should be a bit more easier!

Do you see how worn down the white tip is? It's crazy.
Hopefully I'll be able to do a little more digital stuff with ease now.

Awww yissss
