You Cry Too Much.

#art #selfportrait

A person that kind of looks like me, with long brown locs, having flowers and green grow all over them as they cry in the darkness, trying to illuminate it.

Recently drew & designed my university comic club's zine cover <3 #photoshoot #outfitswap #zinecover #digitalart #characterdesign

The university club name, "GNCS UCL" is written at the top of the image.
In the middle of the image, a white-haired white young man dressed in a black cat oufit is sitting next to a black cat wearing an oversized magenta puffer jacket.
Below is the title of the Zine issue ("Reversal"). The subheading says "the 2024/25 issue".

final thoughts on my first artfight ✨

it can be time-consuming, but the focus on fun and good vibes takes a lot of pressure away.
Imo, the best part is getting attacked by a total stranger - it’s great seeing how others choose to interpret your OCs! definitely recommend!

aww thank you!!💕 Yeah I was trying to figure out how to properly convey intense emotion with more "cartoon"-esque characters - glad it came across!!

MCM London N03 | Arlo 🦦🌱 @arlochessbury.bsky.social · Jul 26

AA ur welcome!!!

I love when artfight OCs have descriptions of interactions with each other, gives me so many ideas to work with ☺️

Plus ur character designs are super hype, I showed this drawing to my friends and they thought it was an official new Sonic character!!

[ATTACK!] Meet cute 💕

Had a go at anthropomorphic characters, with here being Sonic OCs! The stylistic shapes make a lot of the lineart and coloring very fun! 🌱

Two Sonic OCs interacting. One has their hand on the other's shoulder, with the other clearly having a big crush on them.
