old stuff I didn't like (May 2024)

getting ready to shoot my final photography assignment

you think I gave up on Arctober? wrong! I NEVER GIVE UP

Vi was done on my worst day (although the 'rivarly' one looks the worst), didn't even use a ref for her (sorry Vi fans, hope it's not that bad), but I tried to fixt it a bit later; the weird creature on the very left is from that chubby dog meme, but I didn't use a ref for it either

blue was obviously my best day - I'm not saying it's perfect, just that drawing finally didn't feel as unbelievably hard as with everything else I did before and it didn't take ages to make

'tell the council I sad fuck you' is a quote from some yt video I saw recently; the context was quite hilarious and it stuck in my head

[IMPORTANT] just wanted to say that I expected around 0 notes on my first Arctober post, but it getting much more than that really motivated me to keep trying, thanks a lot

Craft update #1: the cardboard dragon

started: Aug 2023 status: abandoned

last year I had this wonderful idea to make a big articulated dragon thing (a childhood dream come true) ideally it would be made out of thin wood sheets (balsa wood?) and have bolts for joints - I guess the plan was to make a cardboard and toothpicks sketch and then a pattern to have it all laser cut (if you can even order smth like that), but I stopped at the (unfinished) sketch

it took days to cut out the segments (with the hind legs being remade entirely at some point) and I wasn't satisfied how the limbs connect to the torso (because I didn't plan it) - it would probably have to be remade/fixed a lot more, but I simply got (very) tired of it

now, the wings were supposed to be the really cool part, with hinges to allow them to move up and down, inner bones made of wire and some fabric for the membrane.. this never went anywhere and stayed as an idea in my head (one shitty cardboard wing sketch was made)

as of now, the dragon has been taped together to prevent everything falling apart, and is hanging from the ceiling to watch over when I sleep (first pic)

>>english version<< soo.. there's a lot to explain about this if your'e not Polish please forgive me for the long post

it's a reference to a well-known series of Polish youth magazines "Victor Gimnazjalista" (Victor The Middle Schooler), that I made a very funny meme with more than a year ago > it's all there at the very bottom of the post

ENG Translation:

GOT DREAMS? NEVER LET GO OF THEM! Viktor The Middle Schooler A MAGAZINE FOR EVERY MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT price 0,00 PLN (0% VAT included) Day after day with Viktor: Transform your room! Psyche section: INTROVERT'S PORTRAIT PROBLEM: "I'm INVISIBLE, I mean nothing for my classmates" For school: Physics: Electric current Reading: Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist Writing: Essay on dreams EXTRA PAGES: BECOME AN INVENTOR! NEW! Russian language test! EXAM MATHS AND SCIENCE EXAM with difficult topics EXPLAINED and STUDY TIPS

the thing is they had a Victor for every stage of education (Junior for primary school, Gimnazjalista for middle school, and the high school one was called Cogito); I thought it matches Viktor just right and also it would be fun to draw and edit an actual cover (it was a pain to draw and even more pain to edit) when it comes to headlines, I took the ideas directly from actual covers of said magazines; just went through a bunch and copy-pasted some lines to make an inspo board; you can also see it down there (it's hilarious and you have to trust me, because I'm not translating all that) vv

please don't transform your room this way

miniature coffin I made as a birthday gift a year ago

and then filled it with tiny dismembered rubber elephants

[2022] 'tis but a scratch!

those are both redraws of smth I did for goretober back in 2019 (which I'm looking forward to redraw again, because it looks bad enough already)
