wip, inks, alternating between playing and drawing #hades2

Sometimes you'll look back on your old art and think it's good, as good as what you could do today even, and be disheartened about lack of improvement. Don't be though! Often, improvement comes in the form of consistency. More successes and less struggle is very important :>

If the centre one ends up on a tee too rather than tank top I'm so getting it

I think often when learning early on we see an example where X looks like Y, and we're like okay, X always looks like Y. Then we have to unlearn because half of the time it doesn't, depending on the person or the angle etc.

Art is weird.

Had an anatomy breakthrough when I came to understand how long the forearm is. That thing just keeps going.

Awesome, it'll be a print by the time I'm finished with it 😄

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 3d

wip, inks. Recognize this pose?

I do think they got a little overexcited about how quickly stuff can kill you. But idk maybe I need to get good xP

Update on feelings toward Hades 2- I'm actually enjoying it more, I think it gets more fun in the later game. I've beaten below a few times but have only faced the guy up top once (and lost). I'm interested to see what's gonna happen.

Mokepon update! h0lyhandgrenade.co.uk/mokepon/

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 8d

Hell yeah man hope you'll like it 😄

Also I started it just after I finished high school and I don't like to think about how long ago that was either 🤣

I'm going to print physical copies to sell, but also post it online for free. It's my nature. Full respect to anyone who only sells their comics, but I make my money other ways. It's hard enough to get anyone to read a thing, so I'd rather they read mine and enjoy it even if it's for free 😊

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 8d

Been writing my new comic project, I'm so excited 👀This one's going to happen for REAL and it's gonna be GREAT ✨

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 9d

It really was, I frickin loved it 😊

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 10d

Oh I can definitely get like this about writing too for sure 😄 I guess I feel pretty lucky haha

Improv session for our DnD game hit hard last night, had to catch a couple of moments

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 10d

Fortunately I don't... or at least not 'adequately' seriously imo. I've got a long funny relationship with art (which I'm sure most of us also have in our own way) I guess I've got the capacity to get grandiose about it if I really wanted to, if half of what I was draw wasn't dumb shit 😂

Mokepon update! h0lyhandgrenade.co.uk/mokepon/

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 11d

He was like a genius so maybe it's not the worst approach...

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 11d

It really makes me think of this Milt Kahl quote, I'm not giving up on music too though, I need somethin' 😂

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 11d

I've been trying to be more 'mindful' while working on art lately. By which I mean, not watching shows and such while working and just listening to music instead. It's tougher cuz it makes work feel more like work, but I think I'm benefiting. I want to improve, not autopilot.

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 12d

Hey thanks so much 😄 Even if I don't like it as much as 1 I've still sure been enjoying it, so I'll definitely do something for it ✨

H0ly @h0lyhandgrenade.bsky.social · 12d

Hey that's good news! Congrats and I hope so too 😄 If my feelings change along the way I'll be sure to say so.
