I never learned how to do art digitally, so I always work with traditional media, usually pencils (graphite and colored), pens, Sharpies, and alcohol markers.

Here’s a few pieces I’ve done over the past year, to give you an idea:

Pencil-only illustration of a rose bush. I did this to pass the time while on a flight from Atlanta to Seattle.

Illustration of Hololive English VTuber Nerissa Ravencroft, made in multiple steps with pencil, black Sharpie, gel pens, alcohol markers, and colored pencils for added texture.

Illustration of an original character, done with pencil, gel pens, and colored pencils.

Art of Seattle Sounders player Albert Rusnák, done on a flash card using only gel pens and Sharpies, aside from an initial pencil sketch.

I sat through all five and a half hours of it, and I am so full of adrenaline right now, that I could probably point at something and it would violently explode

This has been my first season paying proper attention to the M’s, and I’m fully convinced this game is where I realize that I have passed the point where I could have quit.

No, I have chosen to stay on this ship.

Extra innings with elimination on the line—anyone on the M’s, please just get a run

Practice rough for later.
Gonna do the full thing with alcohol markers, but for now, I’m just penciling out the basic idea and shaking off some rust.

Pencil and gel pen concept sketch of the character Seattle from Azur Lane, depicted in a Seattle Mariners uniform, removing and lifting up her batting helmet just off-frame. This user made this to be referenced for a more detailed and polished illustration at a later date.

Found out this morning that I have a bunch of cardstock that I don’t even remember getting.

And you know what, it’s good for alcohol markers, so that might just be an unexpected perk.

No more using printer paper that feathers and bleeds instead of blending.

Don't really have a good OC to suggest, so is it alright if I suggest Megu from Blue Archive instead?

I really think she'd be a natural fit for your art style!

Kraken season is back tonight, bay-bee

And once the Sounders and Mariners’ postseasons wrap up, I get to be back to that wonderful feeling of having hockey be the bulk of my personality for several months

It was basically a way for me to intertwine my interests in music and the city of Seattle (or the PNW in general) together while also having a fun bit of alliteration.

Explain your username:

When I ditched being a creator on YT, I wanted a fresh tagline.

Sherry's a nickname I picked up in college (but treat more like my name than my actual name), while "Soundside" is a play on "Southside" b/c I'm from the Deep South, and "by the sound" as in music & Puget Sound

Alfred Hitchcock's Kevin Newburn @kevinnewburn.bsky.social · 4d

Explain your user name:

When I was born my foster parents named me Robert (Robbie for short), but about 3 months later when my adoption became official, my parents named me Kevin Robert. My mom liked the name Kevin.

I did not learn this fact about my "first" name until I was like 43.

Tea’s so happy being Teddy Roosevelt @handle.invalid · 4d

Explain your user name:

Tea is my first (nick) name, I like Teaberry Gum and Berry-Blue Jell-o, and I have been using this as a handle since college, that’s really all there is to it.

It’s only my first season actively keeping up with the Mariners, and I still got goosebumps watching them win tonight—first postseason win at home in almost a quarter of a century

Incredible stuff, hopefully the momentum keeps going from here

Scary Arbour 👻 @soundsidesherry.bsky.social · 5d

Managed to spook myself with my own October icon this morning. Saw one of my posts and thought, "Who tf is this jester? 🤨"

It's me. I'm the harlequin now.

Scary Arbour 👻 @soundsidesherry.bsky.social · 6d

Was hoping to see two Seattle teams win tonight, but hey, the Sounders snapping out of their trophy hangover (and at the expense of the Timbs) is still good.

Bonfire Built 🔥

Scary Arbour 👻 @soundsidesherry.bsky.social · 6d

Don't know how much of a hot take this is, but I'm not worried about position so much as I'm hoping we don't end up with LAFC in the first round.

Scary Arbour 👻 @soundsidesherry.bsky.social · 6d

Hey hey, I’m just appreciative of the hard work you all do! 🙂‍↕️

Especially for someone like me on the other coast, who doesn’t get all the games.

Actively checking y’all for updates between plays in the Sounders game, got all the adrenaline I need from that. 😅

Trying to juggle watching both the Mariners and the Sounders tonight, first time watching playoff baseball and the vibes are incredible… I kinda don’t want to tune away, but it’s also Bonfire Night for the Sounders.

Argh

A friend suggested I do a Spooky Month icon of my ‘sona as Dimentio, and while I think I could have been a little more creative with adapting the design, I’m still pleased with how this turned out!

Wearing my influences on my sleeve, as it were. 🃏 🧙‍♂️

Sharpie and alcohol marker illustration of this user’s stand-in/persona character as Dimentio, a villain from the video game Super Paper Mario. Super Dimentio’s green cap has also been incorporated into the design to mimic the stand-in’s hat, while Dimension D is used for the background. Finer details were added with gel pens and colored pencil.
