Day 12 - Space Skank

A looser piece for today as I was running out of time to fit more drawings in lol. I quite like how she turned out anyway!

A traditional art piece utilising a bright colourful palette, with a black patch of starry space behind the character. The character is a pink-skinned, green-haired alien woman wearing a skimpy white outfit riding a phallic rocket ship through space. She sits astride the rocket like it's a mechanical bull, with one fist raised above her head in a joyful pose. The rocket is ejecting flames and rainbow gradient smoke that surrounds the figure.

Had a disturbing dream last night, which was then soothed by the presence of Hank Green turning up at my house for dinner ((in the dream)). I have never felt such a calming and reassuring presence in a dream before, it was like being personally visited by the second coming of Christ.

Yeah absolutely. Person like that doesn't deserve to be let out, would never be safe around the public ever again.

Day 11 - Sea Scum

All of god's funny little creatures are precious to me 🦀🦞🐡🦑🐚🪸

A traditional art piece using a palette of deep yellows, oranges, and reds on a black background. The piece depicts a woman sitting on the ground with her legs crossed over, clutching to her chest starfishes and sea cucumbers of varying shades. Her face is covered with barnacles. Her skin is orangey yellow and her hair is dark red and flowing. Her eyes are sparkly and piercing blue.

I might not be around much, or be crap when I am.

I'm currently running round trying to sort scans and transport because my dog has a potentially life threatening illness. As in could get worse and die at any moment. Treatment could be thousands too.

I'm doing everything I can not to cry currently

Day 10 - X-Ray-Kid

Skeletal anatomy? I hardly know her!

A traditional art piece with a mainly teal and black palette. The piece shows a woman either kneeling or jumping in the air, looking like she's on her knees with her arms flung high in the air. She is fully formed but through her skin you can see bones, like she is being x-rayed. Surrounding her are the words "x-ray-kid" squished into the gaps between her arms and legs, and coloured the same as her body.

Day 9 - Grease Bag

I was trying to go for oil slick reflection brought to life, but idk, she didn't turn out exactly like I hoped. She's still colourful though :)

A traditional art piece with a rainbow gradient palette on a black background. The piece is of a woman sitting on the ground in a suggestive pose, in a pool of black oil. In the light reflected on the oil is written the words "grease bag", which reflects many rainbow colours. The skin and hair of the woman is also colourful, and her body is covered with thick drips.
