Uh, hihi, I've been slowly getting into drawing lately. Thought about making a thread to both document my work as well as just share it. I mostly am working with pixel art and slowly - but surely - improving.
Unnecessary crap aside, it all started with respriting lizard plushie into my characters. Atrough outdated, I'd say it's still alright. It was created at 01 IX 2022. Not REALLY what I consider to be my start but I thought it'd be a sin not to mention them!
Afterwards, I kinda was doing nothing untill 9 XI 2022, where I thought of a funny meme that came from a silly discussion with friends, about me and another liznerd being this vox's concience. Poorly drawn but that's a real beginning of my lil adventure.
Day after, I kinda doodled a few lizards, from which I mostly want to share this one here:
A month passes by and on 20 XII 2022 I make first piece I shared in para discord - my main character, riuk. Perspective and shading are bad but oh well.
On 22 and 27 I 2023, I were mostly experimenting. I drew my science and cargo lizards most people haven't heard about. They are... alright at most. It's also the first time I used a background - be it a simplistic one.
On 12 II 2023 I finally settled on... style? If you could call it that. Made another meme, featuring same friend lizard as in previous one. This time, they blew up and immediately started crying about their taco - it was funny to me.
This day, #art-gallery was opened on discord and I posted it there as soon as I could. It is now a second piece on that virual wall.
Now, we come into art I'm happy with to this day.
Starting on 16 II 2023 with this pixel art of a nian some may even recognize:
Later this month, this art of Iridium was created:
On 2 III 2023, after being bullied by @Eligios, I also created a mix between Iridium and a Vox. Not THAT happy with execution but meme is still very funny, so I don't mind:
On 8 III 2023 I drew another thing I found funny - MSD in discord said they were spaced, saying "weeeee". Again, not a lot of work was put into this one, but it's still good for a 30 minute piece:
On 15 III 2023, I remade art of Riuk from earlier. Still lacking but way better. It's also the last piece where I used the god awful black outline. In my opinion, it would be way better without it. Also, his right arm just doesn't make sense.
It's also the first usage of my yet unwritten template for Unathi.
On 30 III 2023, I had just returned from Alps, where I had this very funny idea to depict my dear friend Nithaan - like a nerd he is. I mostly like how well I drew hair. Also, you can already see a major issue I had at the time - shadows were just... not visible enough.
On 5 IV 2023 I drew the Unathi template mentioned above. It's mostly technical (so not really very fancy) but did wonders with my later pieces. It's also special because it's NOT digital art (which is obvious by just looking at it).
On 15 IV 2023 I drew my IPC - Z.I.R.C. . Yes, it's an IPC lizard. No, I do not care that it's not in the game. I can dream, ya know? This one doesn't really follow the above template, but it's also not an organic Unathi so whatever. I'm mostly happy with how depth turned out here - you can MOSTLY say what is in front and what is not.
On 22 IV I made this meme. Not really an artwork but I want to put it somewhere where it will be visible so here we go. Bonus points if you recognize them all.
And finally, on 28 IV 2023 I drew my lizard who I ported from Shiptest to Para - Naazux-Chath. I am INCREDIBELY hyped about how I drew the character himself - less about the background which, tbh, sucks.
Here is also the gun he is holding. Something between laser carbine, laser rifle and modern SMGs.
And uh, that'd be it for now! I'm very happy with my improvement over only 7 months of work, with barely any practice in between my artwork shown above.
Thanks for reading! I'll be updating this thread from now on... or at least hopefully I will! Maybe I'll get bored at some point! Who knows? Certainly not me.
