Thank you 😊

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 2d

np, glad I could help!

… welp. We’re not gonna talk about how I didn’t work on my thing and instead drew what I’ll post on Halloween so I had to, yet again, panic sketch for a picture to post today. 😅

I got the urge to draw a random pumpkin and it turned into a still life I'm still working on.... <.<

Which is to say, I totally get where you're coming from. Draw what brings you joy to draw! Art is for the artist, first and foremost. If you love it, we'll love it, too :)

I get both sides of this. I always want to know if I've done something to offend someone, but also I've definitely muted a few people here on bsky because their politics made me feel unsafe :/ One of them I tried to talk about their posts being problematic but I never received a reply so 🤷

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 9d

I think I remember this one :)

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 9d

I believe in you! XD 🎃

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 9d

Oh that's a shame >< It seems like even more of a bad faith argument because Owl House had Raine, a canonically nb (therefore trans) character.

And I should also point out that butch cis ladies deserve rep, too. Most media has a pathological need to feminize all female characters, which sucks.

Thanks! That was the pose that inspired me to do the expressions XD saw a similar one in my pose reference folder and was like "must. make. angry. face."

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 9d

Scams like these are pretty common, unfortunately. Years ago I had one try a similar thing on Discord re: my Steam account. I talked to them enough to get a screenshot so I could get them banned from the mutual server and also reported them to Discord abuse.

I dunno if I ever mentioned, but I love the way you draw group shots. They're always so expressive and I can *feel* the way the characters see and think about each other :)

Omg this comment XD I love it and how right it is

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 9d

*checks comments here and on artfol* You think you miiiiiight have happened to draw something super adorable? XD

Personally, I'm always stoked for spoopy pics and Chippy checks all of those boxes XD Happy beginning of Halloween month!

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 9d

Right? Such a smug lil shit and I love him for it (not as much as April does, tho, lol) XD

Thanks! I hardcore struggled with that pose, but it a major learning piece and I had a lot of fun drawing it :) 💜💛💜

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 9d

She decided kicking him under the table was more dignified XD

And ty! I spent so long on that picture and I still think it's one of the best things I've ever drawn. I am glad that I captured a sweet moment between them 💜💛💜

Week two of: whoops I didn’t finish what i was working on so did a sketch instead! This time I tried to do my sona as a pumpkin witch. I think it’s cute, but it’s super off model…

oooh yesss bring on the spoops!!!🖤

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 15d

Clearly there's no ace one so you can make an ace one next year!!

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 15d

I'll do you one better: MAKE bad art! All art is valuable, but I feel like "bad" art is especially so, because it's where we as artists are free to play with new ideas, grow our skills, and just enjoy the act of making art. Bad art should be celebrated!!

Cthonyxa @cthonyxa.bsky.social · 15d

Thank you! 💜💛💜 Doing art for the fic is what got me back into doing art after a long hiatus, so I guess I have a lot to thank apritello for XD
