Redrew @stsl’s lead image in the style of MrSquiggle and Creativebot doing a happy dance by request I guess :) This work by ryivhnn is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License

Another steem sketchy. The trigger was along the lines of seeing someone saying something like “he’s got his pencil pointed at msp-creativebot”. I needed to scroll up to see who “he” was before my brain did terrible things. Apparently the @mrsquiggle bot is helping out @msp-creativebot. How cute XD Still counting this as a sketch because the shading was quick as and I haven’t done lineart in the better part of 15 years. And there’s no background.

Once again, because odd things stick in my mind. 5-10min sketchy because of this. I’m so behind on steemlords comics XD This work by ryivhnn is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License

Last Thursday stream as I’m switching to Fridays next week or so (whether I’ll manage next Friday is another thing as Sprat is up on holiday so we’ve been hanging). Decided to stream despite not having backup as I was going to be busy doing other things on the Friday when I did have backup so decided to continue working on @jedau and @randomli’s engagement present. I usually pay at least some attention to my chat clients while working and people were talking about surfing in the TeamAus channel on Discord. @scooter77 had once asked if I could draw an upgoat on a surfboard, so that got well stuck in my brain. I know how this kind of thing works by now so new document was opened up and surfing upgoat was knocked out in a relatively short amount of time so I could get back to it. I’m thoroughly pleased with how the engagement present is turning out.

@scooter77 is one of the people that started the upgoat thing. He and some other people were in he TeamAus channel talking about surfing. I was streaming and working on the engagement present for @jedau and @randomli. Surfing upgoats got stuck in my head, and we know what happens when something gets stuck in my head (for those that don’t, if an idea gets stuck in my head, I have to draw/write it to evict it otherwise it’s ridiculously hard to do anything else). Now there is a surfing upgoat on the idea of a wave.

Because some of the people on the TeamAus Discord chat keep calling upvotes upboats and recently along came upgoats. This work by ryivhnn is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License

Wondered how long it would take me to start backsliding rapidly into realistic Pokemon tendencies. It was already an epic struggle with the last two (Pikachu and Chikorita) to keep it looking at least vaguely like it might be pokemon style. As I’ve been rather bereft of ideas lately here’s Treecko, the starter I would have chosen in Gen3. I have a bit of a soft spot for geckos. I think they’re cute, and there’s still a few living in or around my room on Christmas Island. They’re slightly less appreciated by the rest of my family as they have this distressing tendency to randomly fall into uncovered soup. It’s been a bone broth kind of last few days so I’m making up a small batch for the sick spawnlings, and it does have a lid on it to try to speed it up a bit. No geckos here though, poor things probably wouldn’t survive the chickens.

10yo: CHIKORITA! :D Why’s its leaf glowing? me: Magic leaf. [thinking: mission accomplished] This one went a lot quicker than the Nereid sketch now that I know how the brush works. Doing the background takes FORRREEEEEEVVVVAAAAARRRRRRRR. Horrible, horrible lag. Turns out I can do some detail work with it (if I make the brush miniscule). Definitely not doing tattoos with it though, it will drive me insane. This is the starter I would have picked if I’d played Gen2.

Quickie because I spent most of the day playing PokemonTCG Online (I made a deck and play tested it, and had the computer crash, so then I started stress testing it by continuously playing and the computer started hanging more regularly, I think I have a ram issue so there is much memtesting in my near future, yay). Might do the other generation starters I picked or would have picked (because I didn’t play every single game, repetitive plot points were too repetitive even with allegedly exciting new storylines) if I’m not sure what else to do for sketchaday.

Little Miss Pixietrix liked both her pony version and Zara doing stag leaps so much that she asked for one of herself in a similar pose. I save the base poses I use so I just pulled it up in Blender again, adjusted the arms and hands, we found a camera angle that she liked and then I did this grumbling all the way through as I have trouble doing real people, everyone has to be turned into a character XD Anyway here is Pixietrix the human in her club leotard doing a move she won’t learn til level 6 or so I think.
