random doodle page part 3: I Used Ink and Alcohol Pens For This One #art #oc #fanart

Yet another assortment of illustrations, some mine, some Nintendo’s. From left to right, some cat with ice cream cones for ears saying “Pretend I put something here lmao,” referencing my inability to fill an image, two different shots of the star rabbits from Super Mario Galaxy, one posed funny and the other being grabbed from the back by a cursor, ass facing the camera, three bust shots of theee black haired girls (some girl of unknown origin, Ashley Graves from The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, and Ashley from the WarioWare series, wonder what they have in common), Wario and Waluigi doing their iconic poses I think, Susie from the Kirby series, Baby Rosalina pondering next to Rabbid Rosalina, a boy in pajamas with short rounded off hair and a sprout coming out of his cap, looking at you with a mischievous smile through his fully circular glasses (next to him is a two panel comic of him crushing grapes with his feet and tasting it, thinking “Funky…” to himself), and three girl Toads: Toadette, Jolene and Minh T. Some fatass Toad is there too, yay him.

caved and got a new pair since it’s cheaper than just replacing the old ones after repairing it

if you heard what I was hearing for the last couple of months you’d understand what I needed to do 🙂

I was outside today to get a diagnosis on my airpods (they are beyond fucked and I should probably get a new pair) (I cannot afford a new pair, at least not now)

random doodle page part 1: the one with Anya Forger #art #fanart #oc

A collection of illustrations of various characters, both original and from other works. From left to right, Anya Forger from SPY x FAMILY doing a cute pose, that one French girl I don’t draw much with the phrase “>L’ANGLAIS” above her head, a pair of characters from a project of mine recreating that one ONE PIECE meme from a while ago, Kirby looking at you with a judging expression, and lastly a cutie cat boy you are forbidden from asking me about saying “You’re making it weird, bro.”

I’m not that into this submission but it’s at least semi better than the last one :^)

if anyone knows any basic sketching apps for windows that aren’t mspaint then please shoot me some suggestions, I need a program so I can doodle more cute girls during my uni hours 😣

「Braketsu」 @brakworks.bsky.social · 5d

all I wanted to do was draw a snivelling tattletale brat but noooo, my first attempt doesn’t let me save and my next attempt (which I did in an online paint app) decided to shit the bed halfway through drawing it

it’s like some greater power was holding me back from creating this girl

The first attempt at drawing this girl, in the default Paint app on Windows. It actually went pretty well, until it decided to crash itself when I tried to save the image. Apparently the save pop up window crumbles under the pressure of creating a new folder inside of it instead of the file explorer, who knew.

the second attempt, done in a web app called jspaint. Again, went just fine, until this stage - then it threw up a million errors all stacked on top of each other, all being problems with JavaScript or something, might’ve been a memory issue, not sure. It also didn’t let me save, what you’re seeing is a screenshot of a PDF file containing the image. Pain. All I feel is pain.

god, this sucks ass #art #oc #doodle

An illustration of a bratty schoolgirl with huge front teeth with braces and way oversized glasses. She’s also got blonde hair with weird looking tied up hair buns and beautiful iridescent eyes with a permanent squint, just to make you hate her snitching ass even more. In terms of clothing, it’s a pretty standard schoolgirl fare, aside from the red arm band with “天 (ten)” written on it (this is actually an error on my part, it should say “大 (dai)” because of her superiority complex). There is a drawing on the top right showing her facing the front with a conniving look to the side, no doubt thinking about how to ruin your reputation in the easiest most terrifying way possible, and one on the bottom where she’s doing a weird pose, wearing a more casual dress outfit, and a flip flop in front of her. She’s saying “Y’know what they say, third time’s the charm or some bullshit like that,” which is in reference to the fact this is the third goddamn time I’m drawing this holier than thou teacher’s pet.

Also one thing you’ll notice is her front facing portrait gets progressively more smug the more it’s drawn, featuring a stronger squint too. She’s probably loving my suffering right now, too. What a big meanie.

like I’m not surprised, you hear what this bastard cat ingests and it would sound like a no brainer

I’m just shocked she was going through that during the full three weeks I had her, a shame

I was today years old when I found out cats could get diabetes

「Braketsu」 @brakworks.bsky.social · 19d

upon further discussion I have come to the discussion that this specific cat might actually be kinda unwell, and for that I must apologise

for me not being informed of this before I took on petsitting duties, what the FUCK

「Braketsu」 @brakworks.bsky.social · Sep 18

this other cat doing the exact same thing this time directly in front of my front door is forever proof to me there are no such thing as bad pets, just bad pet owners

yeah it was pikmin, they did a sneaky and uploaded a different version to nintendo today

「Braketsu」 @brakworks.bsky.social · 11d

nintendo just dropped an out of nowhere short on their channel that may or may not be pikmin related but I can’t prove it

all I know is that mother almost missed her child’s first steps and that will haunt her for the rest of her life

I mean I’m not surprised (nor would I be shocked if it sold like ass) but still, interesting to find out on a random thursday morning

「Braketsu」 @brakworks.bsky.social · 9d

I know it’s like fuckoff hours in the morning but it literally took me until right now in a nintendo switch online update tweet to find out fucking bubsy had an official release in japan, new title and cover art and all

also this shake up in konami management has strangely made the pop’n twitter account way more active, sound directors are cycling in and out providing insight into the game series and this shit too

I’m optimistic but also terrified 🙂

pour one out for the goober, my posts are gonna get more boring maybe so be prepared for that

she liked to do this thing where she lays on top of my medicine cupboard and sleeps for like a couple hours, terrified me at first because I couldn’t find her in her usual spaces but I got used to it

「Braketsu」 @brakworks.bsky.social · 11d

man, I finally caught her and I don’t think I’ve felt this much empathy for a cat that isn’t even mine

:(

「Braketsu」 @brakworks.bsky.social · 12d

nevermind, she’s right outside my room, loafing on the floor like nothing happened

…god I’m gonna miss this cat

「Braketsu」 @brakworks.bsky.social · 13d

update, the other bastard cat is out the house but after an altercation with trying to catch the pictured cat she has officially gone back into hiding, three weeks worth of progress down the drain because nobody thought to plan ahead

I’m assuming this munchkin’s trying to get some extra affection out of me because she realises she only has the weekend left in my house

「Braketsu」 @brakworks.bsky.social · 13d

I’m not even mad the cat’s gone into hiding and I have to put up with her for an extra day, I’m upset because nobody else was trying to help me do it and when they did she screamed like a banshee and refuses to leave her usual hiding spot

fuck me sideways
