Well, I'm posting Wednesday

      Hello. There was no chance of me posting last weekend because I was busy. I have to go back to work this Saturday ugh and I have some doodles that need to be posted here so let's go:

Mermay will be coming to a close soon and this is what I have to show for the past two weeks (and another doodle that I haven't taken a picture of yet). This is a story in two parts: Canoe dude is canoeing along when these lovely ladies poke their heads out of the water. Sirens! He thinks oh, he's going to die happy. Problem is, these mermaids he's coming across are actually an alien species that 1. don't actually look as pretty and 2. like to take unsuspecting men underwater with them. I'm not letting you in on all the details (I gotta leave something for the story) but yeah... my mermaids aren't your run-of-the-mill aesthetic little mermaids.

The third party app I use for Instagram has been acting up. A lot of the time it won't open up fully/it closes without loading which means I've been missing out on posting. I check Instagram on the computer now but it's annoying so I'm not posting as much or even doodling as much as I used to. But I have a couple of Frozen related doodles:

I started drawing Hans for the thirteenth but I wasn't feeling it that day so I ended up doodling up throwing away a balled paper while sighing and calling it stupid. I finished it on the fourteenth and posted it on Tumblr. The bottom is a fan OC of mine from an AU fanfiction idea of mine that I'll hopefully put more of on here but his name is Anders and he is the crown prince of Arendelle. He is the source of his mother's constant worry but he isn't that bad a kid. He just doesn't like having such stifling parents. It's getting late here so I'll just sign off for now. Till next doodle, toodles.

Mermay Monday and a belated Star Wars Day

      Hello! I'm finally posting (yay for small miracles!) and I've got a couple of doodles to freshen up this blog: 

I'm using Mermay as an excuse to work on some mermaids because I have to develop my stories and I made an original species that... I'll save that for later 😉 So the first one I drew last week on the 1st and yes, I'm aware she looks like Ariel, I did that on purpose because the original idea I had wasn't working out so I warmed up with an Ariel look-alike. Friday was May the fourth and I wanted to draw something for it so I sketched out a Rey in my old sketchbook (I've gotten used to textured paper so I didn't like how smooth that sketchbook is. It's from a Crayola set my grandparents gifted me back when I was in school). I didn't post her immediately because I drew her late in the day and my third-party Instagram app has been glitching and not letting me scroll down my feed so I feared I couldn't post. That probably influenced the expression I drew on Rey. I ended up posting her on my Instagram and Tumblr on Saturday. Today's mermaid is peeking from behind a surfboard checking out the remains of a shark attack while her hair looks like an octopus 🐙 I love the octopus emoji on my phone (Windows), this one looks like the emblem of a villain, but there is no shark emoji. That has to change. I plan on doing more mermaid drawings but things are going to get scarier from here. You've been warned. I hope to post more doodles on here soon so stay tuned. Till then, toodles.

Well, well, well. Look what we have here

     Hello! I haven't been here in a week and someone in Portugal decided to discover my blog over the weekend? Hola! Muito abrigato for visiting. And that's like all the Portuguese I know. I came here for a reason...

Whoops, I can only post two of the pictures I have because I made an Instagram post with my phone plugged into the computer so the computer won't read that new picture right now 😞 Anyway, I've obviously been inspired to draw Frozen stuff again but not because I'm currently obsessed with it. Nah, it's because of a fanfic writer I'm following on Tumblr. First picture is part of a series of doodles in my Frozen sketchbook of modern!Elsa in gowns. I was inspired to draw her in a "butt cape" as drawingwiffwaffles on YouTube calls it and I added that cold shoulder look (I literally didn't know what it was called until last week). Like come on, wouldn't she wear something like that? And the second picture is a page I have been working on since end of last year. It is a page dedicated to fanart of this fanfic. Check it out so you understand what I drew here. The writer loved it and apparently felt chills. It took me a while to finish this page partly because she went quiet on Tumblr and naturally didn't update her fanfiction, and partly because I worked out of order and work takes a lot of my time now. I actually like work but I'm supposed to be working part time and it doesn't feel that way. I actually worked 40 hours one week because I covered for someone on a day I had off and I rarely clock out at exactly the time I'm scheduled to finish so I have extra minutes that add up. But I have been getting a lot of stuff that I either needed or wanted since I got hired. I bought a bed and dresser, things I really needed because I used to use a cheap plastic set of drawers that were a hand-me-down from a former aunt by way of marriage and my grandma's old mattresses. I recently put insurance on the childhood family car again and I plan on registering it in my name so I can drive it. And I have my driver's license finally. I've been busy adulting and it's taking a toll on my art (or at least this blog) but I love drawing and it's great for relaxing at work during lunch or after work while listening to music or waiting from my sims to load so yeah. It is slowing down at my job because where I work is very tourist driven so the majority of the snowbirds have left. Ironically I'm working more hours and like five days a week and I'm seeing less coworkers or at least certain people I'm seeing less often so I don't how this summer is gonna go. But it's good to be busy so yeah. Well, I'm going to enjoy my day off tomorrow and get some stuff done. Maybe I'll come back with more doodles on Friday. Wait, I definitely have to come back because I couldn't post one tonight. Till next time, toodles.
