Bro I Am Still So Fucking Proud Of How My Bug Boy Turned Out, That Pose Was 100% Just My Brain Working

Bro I am still so fucking proud of how my bug boy turned out, that pose was 100% just my brain working overtime, underpaid, with not nearly enough resources lmfao

I looked at a picture of a stick insect to figure out the buggy ends of his limbs, but that's literally it

Sorry I just had to get that out of my system bahahaha, it was eating me alive TTvTT

Stickbug out ✌🪲

I have decided to give my good friend Pothead Larry (A plastic halloween candy container that once housed a singular hemp plant which I found had sprouted in the yard) a realistic make-over

Painting away those angry eyesockets is definetly a challenge lmao :']

Making said eyesockets - as well as the nasal cavity - look like they aren't just shallow indents has also been a journey to say the least, and why is the cheekbone so long???? And why are the teeth so small?????? 😭

Definetly turning this into a flower pot once again after this, gotta get me some plant lights though since my window doesn't get enough light TTvTT

Does it still count as shading if I'm just alpha-locking the line-art and "shading" that? Lmfao

Hello, friends! We've got more art!! Lmao

I've been in a painting mood recently, probably because I finally got more white paint after having been out of it for months TTvTT

I decided to let myself make something a little less demanding than the last painting, I only spent a few hours on this one ^-^

(Which is probably evident in the not-so-crisp lines of those not-so-consistent swirls at the top lmao)

Nonetheless, I had a lot of fun with this one!! I really like this more graphic style, and I always appreciate a good monochrome + accent colour situation 😌👌 (especially if it's blue and orange bahahaha, are we surprised at this point?)

I really just let myself paint without thinking too much about the outcome, it was really therapeutic to just *paint pretty colours* for once, rather than striving for absolute perfection, which is a bad habit I often find myself falling victim to

Pretty colours and Stick's favourite colour combo aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day ^-^ 🧡

Long time no see, friends!

Recently I've had an all-you-can-eat buffet worth of responsibilities and struggles on my plate, so I haven't been able to (or had the energy to) post or talk to anyone, let alone make art TTvTT

But with ArtFight came excitement, and with excitement came motivation! So I'll be posting everything I make for other participants on here, with their permission and credits of course ^-^

Starting right now!!

This, my friends, is my take on a human version of Grief (owned by 8atwix on ArtFight), who can be found through this ToyHouse link! :]

I had so much fun experimenting with the unusual skintone, and figuring out how I should render it! In the end, I think it turned out really good ^-^

Grief seemed like a really playful, miscievous character, so I hope I was able to portray that in my art as well!

I'm still not entirely sure of what I'm doing when I'm rendering people, but I definetly feel like I've made really good progress so far!

Awesome character #1 and art progress aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day ^-^ 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲
