welcome to the compound
Not been able to draw as much as I’d wanted, been trying to get more exercise in and build up some leg strength since I lost a lot of mass post surgery last year. Doc said I don’t need any more follow ups as long as I stick to building strength since the grafts are solid so between that and work I’ve been just kinda crashing early a lot. Here’s a few things I did over the past few weeks in one handy posting!
Once again this year, I participated in a Slayers themed prompt list for October, and this time the prompts were all themed around emotions, which was an interesting round of them to work with. Some of them were harder than others or overlapped a bit, but I did my best to keep them distinct. I inadvertantly wound up adding the bonus challenge of making (nearly) all of them Lina doing different expressions for practice’s sake of focusing on one character doing different things. (I sort of expected certain characters to show up a lot for certain prompts and try to cover ground other artists in the challenge don’t take on.) Since Twitter sucks for being remotely orderly, here’s the whole lot of them in one convenient pile. Enjoy, or else I’ll really go on a rampage!
That is a Slayers joke, if I happen to be on any kind of watch list right now.
I sort of trailed off doing my recap sketch dump postings, huh? Let’s have ourselves a masterpost of my late 2020/early 2021 artwork!

As “essential” labor, I haven’t exactly had the full Quarantine Experience, but it’s been an incredibly tense and unpleasant month plagued with mental and physical health problems. Still, I mostly stuck to my daily drawings other than when I felt too sapped one evening and doubled down the following day. I’m finally on the up swing after getting in touch with my doctor and getting some actual help- seems like it was a combination of a viral nervous infection and day to day wear and tear on my neck adding up into one nasty package.
As such, there’s a lot of drawings in this batch I’m not especially happy with since I wasn’t able to focus or in a couple cases manage a straight line, but it felt like I was finishing on a good note when I ended on just a page of face practices. Hope you enjoy still, a lot of these are Critical Heaven design work as per usual since I’m really enjoying picking at this project.
The following are sketch posts through most of March. What a month and a half it’s been, holy crap. I did skip *one* evening due to an emergency room trip but doubled down the following day I took off to recuperate. Overall I feel like I should finding areas to push myself in more as Cute Anime Girls is kind of starting to stagnate as a subject for me at long last.
One more day of March technically remains so I’ll probably just append to this post tomorrow. I’m gonna try to get an earlier start on these while I’m off work for the week and hopefully have more nice stuff to show soon!
