Tommy & Billy (Speed & Wiccan)

Thanks to WandaVision I finally got to draw Tommy and Billy. I've been planning to draw them for years, so I finally decided to turn my WandaVision obsession into another chibi drawing with a little more comic accurate "Halloween costumes" of Speed and Wiccan.

Creatuanary 2021

Here's my only drawing for this year's Creatuanary challenge (there's an official prompt list for each day of January, but I usually don't have time to finish 30 day drawing challenges, so I post at least one drawing for the whole month).

This time I tried to redesign one of my old drawings, some kind of an alien creature I drew for a digital art workshop 2 or 3 years ago. It was also supposed to be animated. You don't remember it, because I wasn't satisfied with the final result, so I never posted the original drawing until now.

The new version is also pretty simple. It underwent way too many changes and cringy phases, but I decided to post it anyway. The original actually wasn't original enough - it was a silly mix of a pangolin, anteater, tapir, Sandshrew (Pokemon) and Alf (NBC's sitcom), so I tried to add some new elements or at least reimagine them, but it still didn't turn out the way I hoped it would.

The thing is I don't usually draw monsters, dragons or dinosaurs, so I didn't really know what to do. On the other hand, some videos by Christian Pearson from PopCross Studios helped me a lot. They can be excellent tutorials if you want to learn how to draw fierce cartoony monsters.

All Might and Deku

Toshinori Yagi and Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia. I've been planning to watch MHA for years, but it's only recently become available on Netflix in my country. Immediately it became my new obsession, but there are only two seasons, so please no spoilers. Can't wait for the rest! 😍

Work in progress (WIP):

Odd Yuckly #51

 My New Year's Eve 🍾

#comic #comicstrip #webcomic #oddyuckly #happynewyear #newnormal #grdi #grdilicious #grdicomics

Happy New Year!

 I wrote this for Instagram, as it's my most active social media platform, with the most likes, followers etc. For this year's art review I kind of combined several art challenges into one. I didn't feel comfortable to post "Top Nine", because I paid for promotion of eight of my works and instead of usual 30-50 likes they got up to "unreal" 600, which makes it harder to tell what you really liked. 🤔

As for "The Summary of Art 2020", I'm also skipping that one this year, because as I started drawing more it became impossible for me to choose only 12 drawings (one per month) out of 70! 🤪

Instead of all that, I'm going with some kind of "Art vs Artist" challenge or something similar... I took the general idea, but made a collage of as many artworks as possible. They cover most of my interests, from drawing challenges, Marvel stuff, anime and Star Wars to YouTubers such as Drawfee, Jazza, Rhett and Link, the Vlog Squad and Let's Game It Out.

As for the milestones, I got 5.1k likes this year (although many come from the mentioned promotions, so again I'm not sure what the numbers would be like without them). I also got my 500th follower in August. I don't think the paid promotions helped much with that, because I got many likes during that period, but very few new followers. I guess they liked those specific drawings, but not my whole profile or gallery. And I almost completely stopped experimenting with different art forms and worked on my digital drawings, trying to define my style or at least some features I like to use in my drawings (such as thicker black and white outlines and rim lighting).

Thank you for your participation (likes, shares, following and comments). As for the New Year's wishes, let's just hope 2021 will bring happier moments. Aside from the COVID-19 pandemic, this year my country has suffered (and is still suffering) major earthquakes (the strongest was just two days ago 😔). Many houses and buildings were devastated and lives were lost, so no wonder that on this last day of 2020 we are even more than ever desperate for some good news. 🙏

So... Happy New Year, be creative and stay safe!

Xmas Mashup Challenge 2020

 It took me a little bit longer, but finally here are all my drawings for the Xmas Mashup Challenge! 👍

You gave me your suggestions for fictional characters you'd like me to draw and I mixed them with my 6 "Xmasy" prompts in the Arty Games random character generator by @drawwithjazza.

They were:

* Santa Claus + The Punisher ✅

* Xmas elf + Leona Heidern  ✅

* Reindeer/Rudolph + Mignon Beart ✅

* Snowman + Jack Skellington ✅

* Gingerbread man + Goliath ✅

* Krampus + Loki ✅

I thought Santa Claus and Krampus would be the easiest, but I'm not really happy with how they turned out. Elf, Reindeer and Snowman were surprisingly easy, but the one I thought I'd have the most problems with, Gingerbread man, turned out unexpectedly good.

Thank you for your participation, likes and comments. Although I wasn't 100% sure about my abilities and time I'll need to complete any kind of art challenge with more characters, it was my second Six Fanarts Challenge and I guess I'll do something like this again, especially if there's a twist (like it was with Halloween and Christmas).
