June-July art post :)
at this point it's pointless to say i have to get to my messages because everyone knows by now. ;-; i will. get to them though.
My mom recently put a curfew on her computer, so I can't use it so much haha ive been writing more than drawing
I need to get it straight and get my new one already
also it's been raining so much our internet keeps going for half a day or more at a stretch sometimes so
this month (june) has been so dang busy, it's exhausting. also my uncle (ex-boxer) said he'd teach me boxing and i want to learn so badly lol. so far he taught me simple basic arm movements but he said he'll eventually build up to teach me the "dance" as he puts it (when boxers taunt-dance and get reading to get punchin, as in. xD fun.)
I'm writing the little mermaid-pirate story thing back on Scratch to get back to writing. ;-; idk im not supposed to be on there anymore, but It's better than excerpts here and spam so whatever. small story.
this writing thing had got me not drawing very often so art posts may be smaller 3:
oh well
there may also be sketches of the characters here in this art post too, though i wouldn't normally post human/etc. with horse posts. xD but ye anyway
After a 2-3 month hiatus SotS will be back to weekly updates on the first week of August! Took a good break but now it's time to get back to work
also SotS changed a lot, so I'm excited to show you guys! Also, I need to get back and re-do the older pages once I'm done. they're so ugly. tons of work, but it'll be worth it. I love this story.
stupid sketches of Hilt. i love her.
i need to finish sots already so i can make a story bout her, man
also i updated the blog with two page that have been sitting in my drafts for like a month ;-;
Arrow for junicorn! (I think FaithandFreedom one of my idols on dA started it? Idk they made some awesome art and I was inspired so.) I don't have any unicorn characters so I borrowed Glider's for the occasion before june ends xD
ugly sketch
dont be consumed by yourself
i miss him so much
Hilt had a bad dream
run away len! D: he destroyer.
:( </3
Just come home.
captain bess is making her second appearance yay ;-;
sputnik sketch sheet
used references for these because i cant draw anymore man
since i haven't drawn any comic pages in ages look how terrible i am getting in general at them
this is scrapped because i hate how they look. i'm redoing it.
sahail is going to give me nightmares.
random sister sketch
sketch - to heal a void
yeah, i'm sorry arawn.
eh guy
I had a theory about SotS, putting it here so I won't forget. The Ashk herd have forbidden themselves over time from practicing magic (even though it was an Ashk lead mare who created the light belts in the first place), because they were scared of the void and they wanted to follow the prophecy word-for-word, which meant that only the blue/red guards had to wield magic to protect the Ashk. So maybe overtime the Ashk lost their spiritual connection, so if you give them a belt they won't be able to use it. This is why Lenore is so different, because she can use powerful magic, and not just because she practices. I have something in the epilogue about that, and it's kinda bittersweet. <:')
pretty bones
sketch sheet
aw :( </3
len
I'll pay my weight in blood... touch me someone, I'm too young to feel so numb numb numb numb.
improving this poor dude.
idk
ugly thing
like the golden goose, this unicorn oozes of molten gold, but if you kill it, that gold turns to tar.
idk im finding excuses to practice spits for sots so sorry for the recent ickiness and all. ;-; because it's gonna get ugly and gory. kinda, in a way. idk
caption spells "unicorn" :)
a quote from my script on chapter x (idk where yet exactly)
im slowly putting arawn in a decent role :) yee
it ain't a happy one though, sadly. but maybe it was meant for the poor guy
i like how helm is more dad-ish in the new script lol
sput is the mean one. ;-;
they're both dads in a way. helm not literally, but he the um void dad, so ya
the arawn migration
i've got like a page left to finish chapter 3 idk if its boring till now i don't think i made a very good hook. :/ hm
it will pick up in ch 4 i think though. i just wish i was better at background and had more creative poses to make it a good comic, it's so sloppy rn lol
keep practicin comics eh
sahail honey dont take it personally man
yeee cute lenore. :') at least she's getting more scenes in the reboot - no, most of the comic features her so far. more than arawn. idk aint this wrong
2 minute dion sketch
idk if i want to redesign him...
----
lol idk i found this on the usb from the stuff on my old computer, no context lol
pain :( or something. probably from school and family drama, which is still going on.
banner for the writing blog i haven't used since like last year
ravens are awesome.
--------
found Fluffy dead today :( quick sketch for her. sweet baby, really liked her. she liked sitting on your shoulder in that snug place near the neck. hah all my favorite chickens been dying (we lost like 11 so far, so now there's only four :( it's sad.) couple of days ago one of the younger chickens died for no stinkin reason, and today it was fluffy. idk why she died. but she was so sweet. when she hatched (mom's homemade incubator, so something special xD) she couldn't open her eyes for a couple of days and y'know, chickens can't live without sight so my mom thought she was going to die so she wanted us to put her down. but i didn't want to give up on her so i tried cleaning out her crusty eyes, they had some kind of liquid pus on them i think? idk. she cried because it hurt but she opened her eyes two days later and was totally fine. she had such pretty eyes, they were so beautiful. she was beautiful :( RIP fluff. </3 lol sorry if im being that overdramatic chicken lady, i just cant help it its too sad. idk why they keep dying idkkk it might be the heat or mosquitoes. idk. idk florida sucks man. ignore this please, i just want to remember this.
ugly new id thing lol
i wish my hair would look as good in rl though xD working on it
joggers and chickens, ye love
lol hi
sorry but im a married man now
yeee
the little cover thing for my story on scratch
idk man
7/20/17: so we're down to the last chicken (baby chicken really), this punk must have killed at least 13 chickens if not more over three months. We captured two raccoons during this period, a fat one and a small one, but neither turned out to be the killers. Or maybe they worked together. idk this dont make sense. I've tried every cage and every shelter we have for those birds, nothing worked, he's too smart. He broke the roof off our baby hut, somehow, I have no idea how, and got in and took the white baby. Now we're left with only a brown baby, and that's it, no more hens. RIP all chickens are roosters who died over these past few months, and hopefully this monster will get shot or trapped and killed or something, I'm so tired.
You're doing something on scratch? What account are you using?
ReplyDeleteYup it's a little writing :) I'm using my writing account https://scratch.mit.edu/users/BlackRaven-RedRobin/
DeleteI was writing a comment for this but my tablet charger stopped working and my battery ran out! D: I have the comment saved on notepad but welp I'll have to wait until the charger is fixed - eep I'm so sorry for being years late on this post!! ;-;
ReplyDelete[okay my tablet charger finally works wooot! But back when my tablet automatically shut down (low battery) I must have forgotten to save at that moment so I lost about three comments from after 34 which means I'll have to rewrite them ;-; ... and finish commenting of course! :D]
Deletegoodness I'm half a year late on this or something *sob* ;-; welp that also means that the updates are older I guess? Aww curfews are a nuisance, my mum has also given me them quite a lot haha. xD (all sorts of random curfews lol) Do you write on paper too then? Ouch I hope your internet is working better now! <:) Oooh, boxing!! That's awesoome! How's it going? :D (I've always wanted to practice sports like that ;-;) Wait hold on whoa you're back on Scratch? Oh the irony! xD I haven't been on for over a year welp (even though I keep meaning to get back on there after I catch up with all these social media sites lol). Anyway is that the story you had concept art for? C: (still wish you posted your writings over here too *sobs* I'm so behind on them now ;-;) Hooray!! (About SotS!) I'm still going to get to commenting on that new post you've posted - I'm hyped!! <3 okay I'm babbling, I'll comment on your art now yeeee. <3 (I'll number them just because...)
1) yeee sketchy! Is that Arawn? (sorry I suck at identifying things ;-;) The way you start off your sketches is superior! Like, all those sketchy lines conveying movement~
2) yasss I love your sketch dumps! So pro! I wish I could sketch horses like this! I love how you differ between black and red (I just use black because I'm lazy lol)... you can already see the drawings taking place from these!
3) welp Odin looks sad, poor boy. ;-; But the way you've drawn him and his colour scheme is fantastic! Also I see a grumpy Sahail. ¬.¬ and helm hidden in the corner lollololol.
4) ooh is Hilt the awesome kick-butt pirate lady horse? yoo ladies and gents we have a name!! 8) Anyway she's so sassy and you've captured her personality irresistibly. ;-;
5) I haven't heard of Junicorn but I'm guessing it must be where you draw unicorns in the month of June? xD Sounds coool!! Anyway, what you've produced for the challenge is exquisite! I love the overall mood of the setting and expression, they match perfectly! Not to mention, the colour theme here is top-notch. Skill. <3 (I have a unicorn character in my story but heck I can't draw unicorns at all... otherwise I'd legit have taken part in this, it sounds fun! ;-;)
6) Hilt is so magnificent. ;-; (wait, it's her isn't it?) I love the dark themes in this one! Well, the dark themes of SotS on the whole/this concept story! I love how you draw expressions so well. ;-;
7) yes i miss arawn too man. It's amazing how you're able to draw the front, side and rear of horses in all sorts of poses... magic. ;-;
<8) (<-- see what i did there lol) i love Hilt ok. But this particular picture is absolutely stunning! It combines a disturbed impression with a contrasting trandquil forest-y background. *-* Also I really like how you applied the texture on the foliage/bushes there!
9) lol destroyer Sputnik! xD Lenore has no idea omg. Her long silver mane is absolutely irresistible ahh, she has such charm. <3 and sputty is just a dark intruder here >8( (lol no jk i love him)
10) Wow. Okay I must say this is slightly disturbing but I actually really like it? It's quite sinister but it gives me a kind of hay or decaying aesthetic with those toned-down colours! Also I love how you've made it a transparent image and blurred around the edges! Super effective. u_u
11) poor alia ;-; she's so beautiful as always though... curly haaiirr <3
12) Aww siblings!! I like this but it looks sad. ;-; cuties <33 (also big bro arawn ftw)
13) omg cptn bess. xD Her pose is so classy man. Oh and I love the step-by-step kind of thing here! It's always interesting to see how you draw these masterpieces. C:
14) yasss! You bet I'm excited when I see Sputty get some spotlight. <3 my boy looks beautiful as ever. ;-; Once again I love how reveal your sketches in stage 1 as red and stage 2 as black... wait that is how you do it isn't it? x'D (hope I'm right haha...)
Delete15) Terrible? O.O How could you say such a thing missy! I'll have you know you're an experienced comic artist and this is GREAT! Why would you scrap it? ;-; I think it's an artist thing where artists think their drawings look terrible but actually it's because there's always more to learn on top of what you already know... and in fact, it might "not look good" to you but it definitely does to others! Please don't feel your art is becoming terrible Hana because it certainly isn't - we all have our "bad" days! C:
16) ayyy sputty!! His personality really shines through this collection. <3
17) as always I never seem to understand what is going on but this looks funny. x'D
18/19) omg lenore don't! D8 he evil. >8( ... Actually tbh the concept of this piece is formidable! I love how Lenore is the graceful healer type here and Dion on the other hand is just... well, dark. It's a super cool contrast! xD Have to say, your skill in drawing poses is so striking.
20) Yay more sketches! I really like how you do them ahh. All those sketchy lines are motivating me to doodle something for some reason haha. Anyway, once again the structure of your poses is just incredible. ;-; I know I've mentioned it so many times already but again, I really need to see a lengthy process tutorial from you someday - I feel like it would be supperrr awesome! <3 (That is, if you have the time/willingness to do it of course!) I'm guessing the red one is Helm lol.
21) i love this boy. so extra. he has his eyes on us 8)
22) "yeah, i'm sorry arawn." omg I can't xDDD //// heck. that sucks Say, this is quite comical. xD No honestly, the punchy colours you chose... it seems like not the right thing for Arawn's colour scheme and it looks super hilarious omg 8') (was this an excuse to practice drawing that pose?)
23) welp helm just looks like he had a battle with a calligraphy pen. ;-; (#relatable) ... jk ik the void is eating him whole. poor helmy :(
24) yeah like I said you rock it with rear poses! It's interesting how everything fits together! Also that's a new expression for Helm. 8) Haha it's funny you just randomly out of the blue wrote that theory there! xD (like one of those super random eureka moments lol) Anyway I totally support, it sounds like a perfectly reasonable theory! Especially since it involves Lenore. ^^ (not that I know much about the belts though welp... why am I so ignorant *cries*)
25) NO. WHY. y u like this? all I can think of is either sahail or lenore. *broken heart* ;-; welp asides from the sadness you've actually drawn this really nicely! It looks like something for Día de los Muertos with its pretty flowers! y tho. i cry. <8(
26) Ah, my favourite character... Aw Geez. Anyway, these are so nice!! I love how you've compiled a collection of the cast! <3 Also their personalities are portrayed perfectly. ;-; (hold on I honestly did not mean to write all that alliteration there, it just came naturally x'D) nooo what happened to poor Alia? D': I hope Lenore manages to heal her!! >.< um... squad goals.
27/28) you can't do this to my faves missy. <8( omg lenore looks so upset why is this *sob*
29) Every aspect of this drawing is flawless! The elements of Arawn such as the lighting, the shading, the pose and expression are just- idek what to say. ;-; Well, the washed-out colour combination here (grey-ish?) fits so perfectly! ... and what is ze song? 8)
Delete30) "idk" ... idk either. But hey that pose is superb, awesome job! :D You can just see the line of action shining through it.
31) yyeeee another animation from you!! wait why do I think that the one on the left is dion? x'D idk, that expression just seemed familiar haha... they fighting. 8) I really like this insight into how you start your animations! Is it usually red all the time at first and then black for lineart or something? (it's also nice to see the shapes you use! ^^;)
32) ya more rear poses sir! But not only does she manage to draw a rear pose immaculately, she nails it again with the down-looking-upwards perspective. ;-; keep it up Hana!!
33) Arawn talking with the elders right? xD That beard-horse concept gets me every time lol. Okay but the perspective is just SO good in this one? I can totally tell that we're looking upwards at them and everything... how do you do this? O.O In fact, I can just visualise all those viewing angle lines! :D (okay idk if you actually drew the viewing angle lines but hey this is amazing, keep up the good work! u_u)
34) lol I'm so dumb I read that as "bonicorn" x'DD (but then there's no "u" right?) Ahh I adore this piece and it's concept! :D The golden horse has such an intricate and detailed design! The horns are super cool too haha. xD dang who would have thought of this, you're a genius! I wish I had ideas and concepts as intriguing as you do. C':
[here's where I stopped saving lol]
why does everything seem so short in notepad
(okie I'm back, I didn't finish commenting... and now I'm commenting on a laptop bc my tablet completely ran out of space even just to keep me signed in for 5 seconds omg ;-; ... also as I mentioned before I lost three comments, so I'll comment on them again although maybe not quite as good as before! xD)
ReplyDelete35) Wow I love this one! Your choice of colour makes it look a lot like an official poster for SotS! :D Also very serious. ;-; welp you ain't going to leave arawn alone just for one second are ya?
36) (dang I remember having a really good comment on this one but forgot how I wrote it ;-;) I love these two in this one!!! ye them two dads 8) Okay but really I love how Helm looks there with that superior expression, haha ^^; as for sputty he looks mad. They look like they're arguing over a board game omg. x'D love these two ahhhh. <3
37) okay man I don't even think it matters anymore that I was demanding a tutorial because this just about sums up everything! ;-; I really like seeing your rough sketch as well as the final drawing, it's super interesting! It also looks like one of those character development sheets if you know what I mean? C: love this!!
38) Yaaayyy it's always fun seeing your doodles! :D (and as I think I mentioned before, it motivates me to draw as well xD) All those sketchy figures of the cast really captures their various moods and personalities well! <3 and hush I'll have you know your re-designed chapters are the complete opposite of boring... heck they're SO fun to read I swear, how could you say such a thing! u_u
39) Haha this is really cool!! Like the kind of thing you find in manga books xD (or at least the series I've been reading idk lol) sahail honey. sAHAIL HONEY. lol why not. 8) more lenore wooot!! <3
40) w ai t no staahp dion looks amazing as he is hush! >8( his current design is literally formidable! u_u wait whoa 2 minutes? *breathes in* dang such talent. ;-;
41) ouch I feel ya buddy, literally the same drama. ;-; love the hat tho'!! xD (also your cute pixie ;-; <3)
Delete42/43) Ahh this looks super cool!! It's awesome how you've drawn the painted raven in combination with the blog name! ^^ Also of course the name sounds really cool even though I haven't mentioned it before! So arty. xD It's really nice to see that you've included the lineart on its own too! (*sobs* lineart goals ;-;)
44) omg no!!! I feel so upset now I'm really sorry you lost poor Fluffy. ;-; These stories about all your lovely chickens is so heartbreaking :'( I know how it must feel and gosh I'm so sorry. ;-; (welp I'm so bad at writing these kind of things but hope you understand what I mean!) Is there any way of moving the pen out of the heat or shading it or something? (my aunt in Morocco has so many birds and chickens and she usually keeps them all in the shade where possible! because of course it's super hot over there, especially in summer ^^; ... a few did die though, I guess it's just inevitable when you have so many? ;-; poor things) lol "overdramatic chicken lady" omg no! xD hey it's not something to apologise for girl! It must be super hard losing the animals you love. >.<
45) I meant to comment on this before, why did I forget! I love this short insight into you anyway! Kind of sums up your blog too haha except no you forgot the art how could you? >8( (lol jk) And shush I bet your hair looks amazing! (I've seen pixie cuts before and they look super neat!) Love your style too! :D This also reminds me of the Meet the Artist meme that I keep forgetting to do lol. (and inspires me to do some intro like this on my blog if I can get round to it haha)
46) RANCE MY FRIEND HOW DID YOU GET HERE? winky-face lol!! he's so cute. <3 more rance pls.
47) haha omg who's the skeleton? x'DD I'm laughing!! true love! <8)
48) Oooh I love this!! The blue and orange combination and the typography are giving me ocean vibes! Not to mention the side doodles, they're so cool! Looks official! ^^ And I really need to read this plus DaC which I'm dying to read and also HG as I still haven't finished it since being inactive on Scratch. ';-; awesome work though!! C:>
heck!! this sounds like a mission for sherlock holmes >8( aaaarrrghhh why is that monster killing the poor chickens?? Reminds me of the cats vs birds thing we have here. ;-; Aww I hope the poor baby has still survived and I can't believe that monster took away those other poor chickens. <:( sad story man. *sigh*
I'll get to your newer posts soon too!! <:) (ouch why is typing on a laptop keyboard so hard)
