Early 2022


2022 was the year of remembering how to draw...


Unserious. Low-pressure. Re-learning.

This isn't everything, just the highlights of this period of time.

Some doodles at the start of Season of Abyss. My friend dressed up as a tiny pirate. I was a turtle.

This was my return to drawing and even a pencil sketch felt reallly difficult after such a long break.

The rough color sketch I did on my phone taught me that I had forgotten an awful lot about digital art programs and color (in general) work.

(It took me a while to come back to color)

Days of Fortune is also the Days of Giving your Friends Lots of Hearts.

Nice to be hard carried sometimes.

The dragon focuses only on the friend, instead of the bird-mask player.

Don't Go spirit. ...Yeah.

The Season of Performance mask shapes were tricky but I enjoyed taking my time with the textures.

Krill.

Season of Shattering and Days of Rainbow items.

At the time I said that this joke was not worth the effort to draw it.
Looking back... maybe it was worth it after all.

Absolutely you should give a Moth a Spear.

(And honestly I still think the Eva light panel wings are a plausible design for Sky even if the crossover idea is ridiculous.)

Various Sketches, 2022

Not sure when these happened.
The last one has a version of the Mindful Miner's mask from Beta spoilers so it was probably before the Season of Aurora.
