Skettchyartendevours - Skettchy The Manic Creative - Tumblr Blog

New guy in the works :]

I've done some more scribbling today!

Despite the recent slowdown in creative activity, I found a moment to draw some Gobots and Rock Lords while I was sitting on this neat little tree platform I came across during a walk (Which should explain why all the drawings are tree themed, lol)

Additionally, I've got some non-tree themed sketches from last night as well

A bit of context for that weird-lookin' ice cream cone: It's a sculpture by the artist Claes Oldenburg! I was using his works as a model/point of reference in art class a few years ago, but I haven't really been using this particular sketchbook for school things since then so I decided to try drawing over the pictures in an attempt to fight off the artblock

(Bonus under cut: The inspo pic for that final sketch)

I made this hoodie a good while ago (well over a year I reckon) and just

Never posted it

So... Tah-Dah!!

I made a Clyde hoodie :]

(Also, bonus "model" pic under cut because I couldn't decide which one I liked better)

Back at it again with the cherry blossom photography!

We ended up going to the garden a little later than the previous times, but that just meant that I got to capture all the cool lighting they set up around the place ^v^

And of course, I brought Fitor with me It seems like he also enjoyed his time in the garden

(Bonus pics under the cut)

Cow spotted! They had cows nearby and I managed to capture a photo of one in the dark

Om i n o u s p a s s a g e . . . .

And finally, an impromptu photo of Fitor sat atop my hoodie after we were done walking around the garden

Bionicle's been briefly back on my radar in recent times, so I decided to take this fella with me on an evening walk

New OC just dropped!!

Their name is Umber :]

Crasher at the waterfront!

(and some other miscellaneous photos from that same night)

It seems like whenever I'm not doing toy photography, my pictures consist mostly of funky structures and liminal spaces

Here, have some silly little doodles of a few of the Funko FNAF plushies own

I've been chipping away at this drawing for a while (by that I mean a little over a year) and I've recently managed to finish it!

It's a wonder I've gotten this drawing done at all, lol At least it hasn't gotten stuck in "WIP Purgatory" like so many others

I've been neglecting to share these for a while now, but I have some pictures from a semi-recent daytrip of Fitor while we were on a gondola

Also, a few bonuses:

I took some pictures of the big machinery at the bottom of the gondola line because I found it incredibly fascinating

I discovered the Starflesh aesthetic the other night, which in turn inspired me to draw a few Gobots in a more animalistic form

Hell, this isn't even the first time I've done this! I've also drawn Scooter in this way before

(I didn't realise I neglected to share creaturified Scooter until now, but oh well)

Hey, dude! I’ve just redesigned Bluster and Robbie! I was wondering if you’d do some cool pose arts with them? And what do think about it?

Heyyyyy, sorry it took me so long to answer this ^^"

I will say that it's been a while since I've drawn these guys, so having a reason to draw them again was a welcome surprise

As for what I think about the designs: I think the're relatively simple as far as redesigns go, but the additions you made still work well for them.

Also, thanks for the ask! :D

Edit: I've just been informed that these designs in the ask do not belong to the asker, they were in fact stolen from the user @zip-toonz. Anyone caught stealing art or designs on this blog without properly crediting the original creator will be blocked.

I apologise for this oversight of mine, and I'd recommend checking out Zip's art if you have a spare moment

Yippeee!! Look who's finally done! :D

Despite the fact that she's caused me more trouble than I was anticipating (mostly because I needed to re-cut multiple pieces due to the initial proportions being completely and utterly wrong -_-) I'm quite happy with how she came out ^v^

In terms of plush features, you can remove her brain! I decided it would be fun if you could take her brain out because I just generally like the concept of plushies having pockets containing removable organs. I've also decided to put a rattle in the brain! Since I like when plushies rattle but I'd sometimes rather they be quiet, I figured it'd be convenient to make the portion with the rattle removable so that you could have a smaller object to fidget with and have a plushie that doesn't have to make noise all the time.

I think it's also worth mentioning that I put more beans in her hands and feet than I normally would, which is my attempt at giving a subtle nod to her unique seismic-stomp attack.

(Bonus infodump below cut for anyone wondering why I gave a robot a normal-looking brain)

So! For anyone unfamiliar with the Gobots, they aren't actually fully robotic like you may be expecting. In the lore of the show "Challenge Of The Gobots", they were originally organic beings who had to transfer their brains into robotic bodies due to a cataclysmic event as a result of the raging war threatening to wipe them out.

In the episode "Sentinel", we get to see an x-ray shot directly showing the fact that they have organic brains (Screenshots shown below, I apologise for the nightmare fuel)

As for why I decided to only apply the removable brain idea to Crasher... She just kinda seemed the most fitting. And also design wise, it's far easier to hide the zipper on her than it is on anyone else.

[Slight tangent, but Crasher having her brain fill up that much space in her head just can't be good for her. I understand that the artists doing these drawings probably didn't put too much thought into it, but she seems much more at risk of getting a concussion, especially with how many head-on collisions she gets into]

The posting's been a bit slow lately, so have this picture I took a little while ago of Megatron tucked into bed

So I found this guy in a local shop the other day and decided to buy him on a whim

He's definitely a knockoff transformer of sorts. But despite the fact that he feels pretty cheap, he's pretty decent in terms of quality for what I paid ($10 for me, or roughly $6 in USD) The articulation is surprisingly diverse, the wheels have rubber tires, and the truck cab is even made of diecast metal!

Due to the lack of any proper name as far as I could tell, I've decided to nickname him Din :] (derived from "Hero dinba" written on the left side of the truck hood)

Bonus pics:

I've also decided to include some pictures of the packaging

By the looks of it, this guy's part of a combiner team (Presumably the "Rakers" if we're still counting the words on his paint job)

Actually, “The Quest for the Rainbow Stone” was the first Care Bears: Unlock the Magic special to be produced.

Oh huh, interesting, I didn't know about that (I think the first one I saw was Grumpy's Ginormous adventure, and I was somehow under the impression that that was the first one)

Oh hey, thanks for the tag! I'm quite flattered ^v^

Now let's see here, some things I like about myself....

My artistic abilities I guess it's a bit of a no-brainer considering my blog's main subject matter, lol. I think it's just pretty cool that I have the ability to think of a thing and make it tangibly exist, weather that be on paper or in cuddly 3D form.

My creative mind Yes I'm counting this as a separate point, mainly because I'm specifically referring to all the little stories and scenarios I create i my head with all the characters I hyperfixate on. Seriously, I've practically fleshed out an entire world in my brain and I'm highly considering rambling about it on my blog sometime.

My empathy (mostly) Despite the fact that I'm hyper-empathetic and my empathy often works to my detriment, I'm still glad that I have the ability to care for others. I know for a fact that there's at least one person in existence who's expressed directly to me that they feel like I care about them in a tangible way, and that feels quite rewarding in it's own right.

My singing voice While I wouldn't consider it a proper hobby of mine (I'd say it falls into more of a "vocal stim" category) I think my singing voice is quite pleasant.

My scars This may be a bit strange paired with the other things in this list, but I like the odd few scars on my skin. In this case, specifically the stretch marks across my hips. I just think they're pretty neat. Kinda like battle scars from merely existing.

Sorry this got a bit long and rambly, I hope you guys don't mind too much ^^"

Anyway, here are the people I've decided to tag! (But no pressure if you don't feel like responding!)

Hmmmmmmm ok. I'll tag em. And thank u :3

I like my ability to win every single time in every single way because I'm spiteful. ❤️

I like my pookie @blitzedwing3576 (not about me, but still UwU)

I like the little beauty marks on my body. They look like inverted stars :)

I like my face because I'm an unsettling amount of perfect blend of features from my parents, like, upper face is dad, lower face is mom.

I like the fact that I'm a bit batshit. It spices my head up UwU

Did you see those new half hour specials of Care Bears: Unlock the Magic?

I know I've seen the first one, but I couldn't really find a good place to view the others online ^^"

(and then the transforming vehicle robots kinda too over my brain so I haven't gotten around to watching the rest)

I'm sorry you're going through such an awful situation, I hope you can get the help you need in time

Hello, I hope you're doing well! My name is Mahmoud Abu Swierh, and I'm a 17-year-old from Gaza. The ongoing war has devastated my city, destroyed my school, and made daily life incredibly challenging. Despite these hardships, I'm determined to continue my education and build a better future. I've been given a chance to study abroad, but I need help to cover the costs of leaving Gaza, as well as living expenses and other essentials abroad once the crossing opens. If you can, please consider donating or sharing, your kindness can truly make a difference. Thank you. https://gofund.me/bd3ccf0b

Hello there! I'm doing pretty well, and I hope you're doing as well as you can in your given circumstances right now.

While I'm not sure how much I'll be able to give you myself (with my parents being hyper-aware of online scammers taking advantage of the war) I sincerely hope that this post at least gets the attention of anyone able and willing to donate to you. I wish you luck, and I hope your education continues smoothly despite the state of the world.

[For anyone who wants to donate to others as well, I've found two lists compiling other verified donation links (here and here) on Mahmoud's posts]

As you can see, I've decided to give my take on another drawing meme that's been going around lately

(and for once I'm not unreasonably late for the trend, yippeeeeee!)

I made a model sheet of myself! What do ya think?

I think it's looking pretty good! It's especially useful to see a character at multiple angles when you're assembling a reference sheet, and you've done quite well with that.

One thing I will add is that it'd be a good idea to draw an angle where we can see your character's back, as well as some colour swatches on the side to make colour selection easier when doing digital art of your character.

(Also since you've got a pretty symmetrical design, you could cut out one of the side and 1/4 turn profiles to save some space on the page, along with a note stating that your character looks the same from both sides)

In any case, keep up the good work! I wish you luck on your future artistic endeavours ^v^

I was clearing out my phone's camera roll last night and happened upon some art from around 3ish years ago that seemed worth sharing

(I've decided to stick the rest under the cut because there's quite a few pics)

So in terms of drawings, we have: Some Trevor Henderson creatures wearing dresses and/or cutesy accessories, some Smliler sketches that I think turned out quite well (especially that second one), and Stringbean who's an oc of mine :]

I also have this Gay Bat plush that I made around that time, alongside some impromptu photography on a rainbow dockside tethering post while I was on a night-walk with some friends
