OUTCAST CITY

PROOF: Outcast City stash (you might have to sign in as a guest)

making an indie series is so hard especially bc i am so ambitious but i lack the will to actually make it

also i have no sense of time so when something takes morew than a few minutes i get frustrated

which is bad cuz figuring out things like drawing, writing (well), and animating

then there's how to get people to notice it, consistent uploading, funding, the time i have to do this

representation, good story, the mini arg i wanna put in it, AUGH

and before y'all ask where the proof this is a real thing i'm working on is: i'll put it in here later i'm at school rn

Made this while my hand is currently cramping 🤪🤪🤪

God help I have so many art ideas

Listen I gotta entertain myself somehow whilst sick okay?

I'm not making this shit up either, some examples are:

"Dark Light Blue" being the name for a LAVENDAR marker

"Milky White" being the name for what is basically yellow ochre/mustard yellow

"Purple Grey" being the most neon shade of hot pink I have ever seen.

I don't know the exact colour order of the markers when I first got them because tbh the first thing I did when I got them was reorder them, but presumably they were in chronological number order so it'd be something close to maroon, pastel pink, a random green marker, red, dark blue, brown, etc.

Speaking of chronological colour order, I'm not even joking the first 5 markers' numbers discounting the colourless blender (0) are:

2 - Old Red

11 (?? Did you just. Not like 1 or any numbers from 3 - 10??) - Carmine

16 - Coral Pink (again, where are 12 - 15? Having a BBQ?) (Also I should note that this is literally neon red)

17 - Pastel Pink (finally, some consistency)

23 - Orange (oh for FUCK'S SA-)

Despite this they're actually really good markers, but it was probably pretty surreal for my dad to just hear an angry garbled mix of English and French being spoken in an Irish accent on the other side of the wall.

So I have like 3 mini-comic ideas (two fluff, one angst, all fanart) as well as a few other small drawings I wanna make (OC and fanart) and I just. Can't get the poses right?? Gonna start chewing my bedposts in a minute istg

Quick update on the August Wheel - today's art should be coming out relatively soon (colouring is simple, lineart not so much), however there might be a delay for tomorrow's piece as every single one of my lineart pens is borked and I'm not sure how long delivery for more will take.

If you noticed scruffy/messy lineart in yesterday's piece (noticeably around the writing on the left side) - I'm literally having to blow the remaining ink onto a plastic sheet and draw using that. Luckily it somewhat fits today's character since he usually has chonky lineart, but still frustrating nonetheless 😔

Today's August Wheel drawing may need to be lumped in with tomorrow's - I can't get it to look right and my eraser is chewing up the page, so I've decided to glue the pages and start fresh.

HOWEVER the glue takes a while to dry, and I can't draw whilst it's still drying because it will fuck up at least 3 pages of the sketchbook, and since it's 6:25pm already and these drawings take at least 2 hours, it'll either be released at 10 - 11 pm, or tomorrow (and since I don't want my sleep schedule destroyed even more, I'm likely going to just delay it.)

Sorry for the delay, but hopefully with some sleep and time to clear my head, both drawings will come out good!
