ARCANE | 1/6 Dolls, Customization

fought hard not to delete this post will never finish it because I stopped caring, so here's the full sketch (remember, workplace is your second home)

based on this poster

up drawing everyone's favorite character (work in progress)

the idea is based on a Polish socialist realism poster thing - for now it only says 'REMEMBER' with the rest cut out, but I'll obviously translate the slogan if I finish the drawing (then you'll find out what it is that you shouldn't forget about) I wanted to do this for a very long time, because I can't get over how Jayce looks exactly like the type of idealized men that the socialist propaganda posters would depict, and I find it extremely funny not only that, but also the slogans that were used back when Polish People's Republic was a thing are now hilarious

I also can't unsee how he kinda looks like or has the same weird, kinda cursed(?) energy as Alex the Lion from Madagascar, so that's what I used for his head for now (it is also great at conveying all of the feelings I was feeling when spending hours on the drawing) I've had a 4 months break from art and (as always) ended up setting the bar way too high, so this will most likely take forever I hate how I have no idea what I'm doing, but instead of actually learning I'll be wasting hours trying to figure things out on my own and getting angry with myself, because everything takes so much time and still doesn't look any good - I really wish I could work on my skill consistently and learn like a normal person, maybe then I wouldn't be so far behind despite (theoretically) doing digital art for half of my life

anyway, that's probably how my posts are going to look like for the most part, because I need a place to ramble (I have no one to talk to), which I used to do a lot on insta story; still figuring out how to do this on Tumblr without scaring people off with walls of text

not me desperately editing this, because #art is trending and I hope to get more than 4 followers // character heavily inspired Felix Colgarve's work, precisely by the creature riding a dragon in SOURCE by Fever The Ghost music video

2023

I was really really hoping I would do arctober, but I can't do much, so here's the shittiest and most out of focus (just like how I'm feeling) proof that I tried (Piltover and Zaun)

had many ideas, but it turns out I'm suddenly not able to draw the simplest thing (I will keep trying, because I also wanted to make some crafts)

this is fine, regress is fine

>>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

infinity repeating - a draft

getting ready to shoot my final photography assignment

hey, I may be a few days behind (on Arctober), but I've finally finished my chomper grenade for the Jinx prompt (well, at least as much as I'm willing to, because there are a few details missing and the bottom part is not painted)

it's entirely out of paper, work in progress pics below edit: here's a post explaining how I made it

love the firts paintjob (I forgot I could mix colours instead of only using black and white 👍🏻)

anyways, it's not as small as it seems to be in the pic where I hold it - it's about 12 cm tall

it's rather cute and was fun to make (not so much to paint), would recommend

long time no update, because I didn't have time to work on it and then had to redo a lot, but it's getting somewhere
