WIP jumpscare!!! blue ballpoint pen my beloved

#signalis #signalisfanart #arianeyeong #falke #falkesignalis #penandink #wip
A traditionally drawn bust of Ariane from Signalis drawn in blue ink pen. The work is an unfinished sketch and only her face, neck and chest are rendered with her hair still a bit under-detailed. She is in her night gown looking at the viewer with her head tilted to the right, resting on her right hand, which is in a fist. Her mouth is slightly open in a neutral expression. She is drawn in a fairly naturalistic style. To the right of her is a separate piece of paper laid on top of the drawing. It has the artist’s username written on it @category5queer with a doodle of a simplified, terrified looking cartoon demon below it. It lacks arms, a nose and mouth and is primarily a circle on top of a rectangle with two lines of legs and a spade tail. A traditionally drawn bust of Falke from Signalis drawn in blue pen ink. The work is close to completion with some unshaded areas along her neck and upper chest. Falke is at a rough 3/4th’s profile facing to the left of the picture plane. Her whole body is tilted to the left as well with her left shoulder more visible than her right, which is completely cut off by the edge of the paper. She looks to the upper right corner of the work with a neutral, slightly open-mouthed expression. The style is fairly naturalistic, but her eyes are more anime-esque. To the upper right of her is a separate piece of paper laid on top of the drawing. It has the artist’s username written on it @category5queer with a doodle of a simplified, terrified looking cartoon demon below it. It lacks arms, a nose and mouth and is primarily a circle on top of a rectangle with two lines of legs and a spade tail.

(unsure if i need to tag the last two but added them just in case!!)
A digitally drawn image featuring a fullbody of Token, the mascot of the band femtanyl, drawn with a black body and a purple outlines. Here, Token is drawn mid-run with their left leg outstretched towards the picture plane, exposing a heart-shaped paw pad, while right leg if foreshortened and bent behind them. They hold their right arm in a bent position, giving a thumbs up gesture while, similarly bent, they hold up their head in their left hand, blue blood dripping from it and covering both their claws. From their body’s neck erupts a fountain of blue blood. The background consists of various pixelated overlays but is primarily black with two overlapping blue and pink squares behind Token to help them stand out from the background. There is also a white outline behind them that does the same. To the viewer’s left is white bold text that reads head up in all capitals. It is written vertically.

going back to my roots doodling characters in my 3D class

#signalis #elstersignalis #signalisfanart #penandink #traditionalart
A traditional drawing of Elster from the game Signalis drawn with blue pen ink on lined paper. She is drawn as a halfbody, her right arm bent, resting on her hip and she lefts her left arm lay casually at her side. She is drawn at a 3/4th angle facing to the left. She holds a smug, confident smile as she looks to the upper right with her eyes. The entire work is shaded in a hatching and crosshatching manner. Along her left shoulder is the artist’s signature, CAT.5.

quick sketch made while my computer was having issues; not the best at drawing ship art so hopefully this is not as bad as i fear it may be 😭

#signalis #signalisfanart #elstersignalis #arianeyeong #traditionalart #sketch
A traditional sketch featuring Elster and Ariane from the video game Signalis. They are both drawn as slightly extended half-bodies, roughly cut off somewhere along their legs (Ariane at the shin and Elster at the thigh). Elster is closest to the picture plane, her back facing the viewer as she stands close to Ariane, situated between her legs, her left hand resting on her thigh. She extends her right hand out to lightly cup Ariane’s face. Ariane is sitting on her sleeping quarter’s ledge, leaning slightly backwards to balance herself as she lightly holds Elster’s left shoulder with her right hand. She has her left arm extended to gently play with Elster’s hair. Ariane smiles, eyes shut and mouth in a wide grin, head leaning into Elster’s touch. Behind her is a rough sketch of the sleeping quarters with two pillows visible to the viewer’s left of Ariane. The whole piece is shaded in a soft manner via graphite with lighting coming from somewhere to the upper right of the couple. Above both women’s heads are three hearts, one large one flanked by smaller ones on each side.

#oc #ocart #digitalart #originalcharacter

(the way you can immediately see the Signalis inspo is sending me; ironically they were inspired by Ariane so idk how they ended up looking like Falke 😭)
A digitally drawn bust of a humanoid character. They have pale skin, long, messy black hair and bright gold eyes with red markings underneath them resembling eye bags and tears. Along the right side of their face is a large, perpendicular scar spanning from their right eye down to the corner of their mouth while another slash runs across the middle of their face, passing over their nose. On their head are golden horns that, to a degree, resemble a Greek laurel, although much more spiky and antler-esque. The character wears a white garment that resembles a straight jacket with a large collar and black belts that run through the collar and along the shoulders/torso of the character, each secured with a large, golden buckle. On top of this they wear a simple golden chain. Along their back they have large white angel-like wings. The entire piece is shaded in a cel-shading manner with very faint brush and splatter like texture applied to it. Behind the character is a simple, dark red background.

“You don’t belong here either, do you?”

another SIGNALIS redraw; having a lot of fun with these ^w^!!

#signalis #isaitou #signalisfanart #digitalart #fanart #signalisisa #cwblood #twblood
A digital redrawing of the first time Isa Itou is shown in a cutscene from the game SIGNALIS. It is a near fullbody, cut off roughly at the shins with her head and body positioned at a three fourths angle pointed towards the right side of the canvas. She stands in somewhat of a slouched contrapposto pose with her right shoulder raised higher than her left, her right knee straight and her left knee bent. She holds her right arm, slightly bent, across her hips leading to her hand near the middle of her body, pointed downwards as she grips a large kitchen knife. The knife crosses over the rest of her left leg to in front of her left hand, outstretched. Her left arm is held almost directly down to her hand here, with only a slight tilt to the right side of the canvas. Isa looks towards the viewer, somewhat side-eyeing them. She holds an anxious expression, eyes wide, eye brows raised, pupils small and teeth grit. Her hair is drawn messily with strands sticking out. She has a small bandage on her right cheek. Similarly, she has bandages on her right bicep (through which you can see a deep open cut as there are only two small bandages restraining the cut near the middle of the large slash), right forearm (covered), and both hands. Throughout the piece, shading and value is applied in a crosshatching manner with a few areas given very slight highlights using soft and cel-shading. This is most notably on the middle of her knife, her belt buckle and the left side of her face with the rest of these highlights working as rim lighting along the outer edges of her body. The background is a plane mid-tone gray and Isa herself is rendered entirely in grayscale. A zoomed-in screenshot of the drawing focusing on Isa’a face. A zoomed-in screenshot of the drawing focusing on Isa’a hand holding the knife. Here her bracelet is rendered to look a lot more like an ouroboros with a scaly texture applied to it.

a WIP of another redraw i’m doing featuring a heartfelt annotation from my brother

#signalis #signalisfanart #signalisisa #isaitou #fanart
A photograph of a computer screen with a digital drawing against a white and grey checkerboard pattern. The drawing is of Isa from SIGNALIS and is a near fullbody, cut off just below the knees with her head and body positioned at a 3/4ths angle pointed towards the right side of the canvas. She stands in somewhat of a slouched contrapposto pose with her right shoulder raised higher than her left, her right knee straight and her left knee bent. She holds her right arm slightly bent across her hips leading to her hand near the middle of her body, pointed downwards as she grips a large kitchen knife. The knife crosses over the rest of her left leg in front of her left hand, outstretched and unfinished with only the thumb and lower palm drawn out. Her left arm is otherwise held almost directly down to her hand here, with only a slight tilt to the right side of the canvas. Isa looks towards the viewer, somewhat side-eyeing them. She holds an anxious expression, eyes wide, eye brows raised, pupils small and teeth slightly grit. Her hair is drawn messily with strands sticking out. She has a small bandage on her right cheek. Similarly, she has bandages on her right bicep (through which you can see a deep open cut as there are only two small bandages restraining the cut near the middle of the large slash), right forearm (covered), and right hand (covered). The drawing is unfinished and some areas of it are just sketchy lineart and a very faint, blue sketch can be seen underneath the entire drawing. However, in the areas that are more rendered, mostly her face and upper torso with less but still noticeable rendering on her upper right arm, hand, the knife and her lower torso, shading and value it applied in a crosshatching manner. To the right of Isa, on the right side of the canvas is written, 67 Fortnite with the number underlined. It is also drawn vertically with the bottom of the letters and numbers facing to the left of the canvas.

“…an Elster unit?”

quick style study/redraw of the first STAR unit met in SIGNALIS; i adore the style of this game so much GRAHHH

#signalis #signalisfanart #signalisstar #starreplika #fanart #digitalart
A digitally drawn headshot of a STAR replika unit from the game SIGNALIS, specifically the one the player first meets whom is injured and waiting on a repair patch to activate. She is drawn entirely in red and colored in and shaded in a hatching technique. The drawing is fairly similar to the inspiration, but here the artist has drawn Star with a more pronounced nose and detailed hair where the individual strands are now visible. Star wears a questioning look, her right brow slightly upturned and her left downturned with the corresponding eye slightly squinted. Her mouth is slightly open, with her teeth grit in somewhat of a frown. Along the lower portion of her left cheek is a cut with tiny flecks of blood nearby it, mostly on the right side of the canvas. There is a light source in the upper right side of the canvas, out of sight as the background is otherwise a blank sheet of a very light gray. Along her collar is the artist’s signature CAT. 5 in all capitals.

#tadc #tadczooble #tadcgangle #abstragedy
A digitally drawn re-draw of a screenshot from the Amazing Digital Circus. The image features busts of Zooble and Gangle rendered in a lineless style with a mixture of cel and soft shading. Zooble is on the left, looking down with a soft gaze to Gangle who is to the right of them. Gangle looks up to them with a soft smile as well. The entire image has a strong pink overlay and most of the character’s colors take on this hue. Behind them the background is make up of a vertical periwinkle to soft purple-pink color gradient. There are small glowing specs and hearts that make up texture in the background.

“You had apologized before, didn’t you?”

#femtanyl #femtanylfanart #manbitesdog #bodythepistol #eyestrain
A digitally drawn image composed of various overlays. In the center is drawn the upper and lower jaws of a canine, wide open in a snarl. In the middle of this is an entirely black cat head- the head of Token, femtanyl’s mascot- with an angered expression. It has no facial features other than red, yellow and white glowing eyes, brows furrowed and eyebags visible. In the top left and right corners are emerald green eyes, softly shaded but open wide as complete circles with tiny pupils. In the bottom left of the work is written body the pistol in all capitals in times new roman font. The word body is on top of the other two words, which are positioned tilted ninety degrees to the left. Pistol is typed in red. Similarly, in the bottom right section is typed man bites dog in a similar manner. However, the words are all written in a vertical column with the word bites actually written in scratchy handwriting behind the other two words. It is also red. Behind everything is a chaotic overlay of the lyrics of the song the piece is fanart for: Body the Pistol by femtanyl. Additionally, a horizontally stretched out, low opacity overlay of the jaws eyes and cat head add to the otherwise black background. Above the jaws is typed in smaller, times new roman font femtanyl in all lower case. It is reflected upside down again below this. Between the two versions of the text is written you had apologized before, didn’t you. The rest of the work has a strong grainy, pixelated and retro-style filter applied to it, giving it a rougher overall look.

a handful of doodles from vastly different medias

#ultrakill #infinitytrain #crk #cookierunkingdom

(sorry i forgot SMC’s soul jam; i drew these from memory and severely sleep deprived 😭)
A traditionally drawn half body of Shadow Milk Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom rendered entirely in pinkish-red pen ink with value and light shading applied in a hatching manner. He is at a three fourths angle, head and body with his head slightly tilted upward. He looks down towards the viewer’s left, eyes wide and brow slightly furrowed with a large, sharp-toothed grin. He is caught is motion with his hair twisting behind him and his pelerine lifted upwards. He holds his arms out, his right one foreshortened and his left larger, hands open-palmed and tilting down in a grand sort of presentative way. He is missing his soul jam that is usually on his collar (I forgot oops). A traditionally drawn bust of Ryan Akagi from Infinity Train, rendered entirely in pinkish-red pen ink with value and light shading applied in a hatching and crosshatching manner. His design is mostly the same excluding his hair being drawn a bit more messy. He is positioned in a three-fourths manner and looks upwards to the viewer’s right. His eyebrows are raised slightly and he has a soft smile. To the right of the image is a small doodle and illegible writing of another drawing, cut off when the image was cropped. A traditionally drawn bust of Gabriel from Ultrakill, rendered entirely in pinkish-red pen ink with value and light shading applied in a hatching and crosshatching manner. He is drawn at a three fourths angle from slightly above him. He has one eyebrow line tilted down and another raised on his mask, giving him a judgmental look. The cross on his mask is replaced with a star and the golden lining on his mask is drawn in a much sharper manner. His halo like inlay is also drawn as horns here.

sent them to the bisexual lighting dimension

#ultrakill #ultrakillfanart #v1ultrakill #digitalart
A digitally drawn bust of V1 from Ultrakill. They are rendered in a very geometric style with varying width of line art that ranges from thin to thick and some areas have the line art broken or are completely lineless in areas of intense light. The art is very textured with lots of crosshatching and geometric highlights, shadows and arbitrary color. V1 is doused in pink, blue and purple lighting with some values of their wings becoming orange. The drawing is overall very sketchy and impressionistic. Behind V1 the background is also a chaotic mass of pink, blue and purple brushstrokes with texture creates by a crosshatching brush.

#isat #isatsiffrin #siffrin #isatfanart #instarsandtime
A fullbody, traditional pen sketch of Siffrin from In Stars and Time drawn in a semi-realistic style. Their face is half obscured by their cloak, the neck of which covers just above his nose, but still completely below his eyes. He looks over to the left of the paper with a neutral expression. He stands with his arms covered by his cloak while they otherwise stand in a neutral position. They also wear combat boots because slay. A traditional bust drawing of Siffrin drawn in ink. The drawing is in a semi-realistic style. Siffrin looks off to the side with a worried expression. He eye slightly squints, looking off to the left with his face at a 3/4ths angle. His mouth forms a small frown. A traditional half body sketch of Siffrin drawn with ink. He is drawn in a more cartoony style and holds an anxious expression, eye wide and mouth wobbly. They face to the right but they look behind them to the left.

#v2 #v2ultrakill #ultrakill #ultrakillfanart
A traditionally drawn bust of V2 from Ultrakill. The image shows her from her head to just below her shoulder, body tilted slightly to the viewer's right. V2 looks adjacent to the viewer, looking annoyed, her head slightly tilted to the viewer's left. Her head is slightly modified to give her the appearance of horns and she has a black iris outline and pupil. She is colored in with marker close to her in-game colors and there is light crosshatching applied throughout the doodle giving it value. The work is overall sketchy and around V2 is a sketchy red outline. To the left of V2 her name is written in scratchy handwriting. The piece has a yellow background and lines like that of notebook paper.

💰LOTTERY 💵

#femtanyl #femtanylfanart #token #eyestrain
A digital drawing of musician femtanyl’s mascot Token. It is drawn in a way heavily referencing the LOTTERY single cover. Token is in the center of the image and, armless like the cover, they stand on their two legs facing the right and lean over backwards in an arc. Their body is at a more 3/4th angle reversed but their face is dead-on with the viewer, smiling with exposed teeth and gums with their eyes shut. Their body is colored in black with white lineart but there are red squares along their body-most notably on the right side of their face, by their left ear, a cluster of three along their torso, and one on their right foot- that invert this coloration making their body white and the lineart black. There is very light hatching used to shade their body. The background consists of much grunge and noise. It’s mostly black and white but has some slight technicolor-like hues visible in it. The lyrics of LOTTERY are also sewn into this collage, but are very illegible and serve more as noise. The whole piece has a lot of noise, pixelization, chromatic abbreviations and unsharp mask effects applied to it.

#femtanyl #token #femtanylfanart #eyestrain #cwcartoonblood #twcartoonblood
A digital drawing featuring musican femtanyl's mascot Token on the right of the screen. They're in a contrapposto-like pose with their head tilted to the left and their body to the right. Their eyes are closed, mouth open in a wide smile with blood over their right eye and left ear/cheek. They have two small earrings on their right ear and their left ear is torn. They hold their arms up to their sides, the back of their hands making contact with their waist. Both of their paws are bloody; their right arm has a bandage, a silver wrist cuff and another bandage on their paw. Their left arm only has a silver wrist cuff and a scratch on the connected paw. Token wears a studded black collar and two black, studded belts. There is some blood on the left of their torso. Their legs are pointed outwards from their body, their right leg has a large gauze bandage wrap that's bloodied while their left has two bloodied bandages and a scrape. Behind them is written push ur temper in all capitals, it is white text outlined in light blue. The background consists of a chaotic mixture of overlays containing repeating copies of the Token drawing at various opacities and the lyrics to push ur temper on the left and the title of the album chaser on the right. The whole image has a blue overlay and is very pixilated with layers of noise and chromatic aberrations.

A digital drawing of Token, the mascot of the artist femtanyl. It's a halfbody shot where Token is drawn without arms and has various kitchen knives sticking out of their head, resulting in blood erupting from the wound. Token's other eye is hid behind the knives, but their left eye is wide open as is their mouth in a shocked smile. Token is covered in splotches of blood on their face, body, and spiked collar. The image is heavily compressed with lots of digital artifacts and overlays of unreadable text and barely visible Token heads. To the left of token is written femtanyl in white outline-only text.

Traditional, red pen ink, humanoid drawing of Fire Spirit Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom. He is drawn in the Wings of Fire outfit in a near full body cut off by the shins/ankles. He's drawn in a confident pose: he looks towards the viewer with a confident look in his eyes, mouth open in a smile. His body is in a contrapaso with his body facing mostly to the left at a 3/4ths tilt. He has his right arm bent closer to his body, hand in a fist while he holds his staff on the same level in his left hand. His legs are slightly bent beneath his skirt. To the right of the work is a large black circle that cuts slightly into his left wing and upper part of his staff, where the covered objects are drawn in a white outline. In the circle, written along the curve is the cookie's name Fire Spirit in all capitals with a scribbled line below it. Along his wings and hair are flames broken off from the source. The whole drawing is drawn and shaded in a crosshatching manner. The same piece on the left but colored in with reds, oranges and yellows on top of the lineart. The background is yellow and the writing/drawings in the black circle are now written in orange. The piece is now outline in relatively thick black pen.

Traditional pen drawing of White Lily Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom. She is drawn in a humanoid form from approximately the thigh up or in an extended half body pose. She looks reserved, holding her staff to the right and clutching onto it with her left hand while her right arm is draped over across the staff. Despite facing towards the right, she glances up left with a slight frown. The work is entirely colored in pen and marker with heavy shadows on the right side of the piece. Above her head is a lecture note I was unfortunately unable to cut out of the work; it says TT due by end of week. It has nothing to do with the piece otherwise.
