Looking for some hot stuff?

 

      Hello! I have returned for that scheduled posting. Might have done it earlier if it weren't for the fact that my sister was monopolizing my laptop... and then she got offended when I pointed it out but anyway, prepare yourself for not one but four pictures of the same character 🙈:


I accidentally created a new OC a couple weeks ago and it's really hard to get them out of my head sometimes 🙈 I got the idea last week to draw them like this with makeup and yeah... A friend of mine who is in love with this character had mentally retconned their black hair and was imagining it to be pink so I tried it out and it's an option (still going to have them with their black hair majority of the time because that was how I imagined them). I wanted to do dramatic colored lighting on them but it wasn't working out and by the time I had figured out the right way to do it, I was like "too much work, next time". This was fun for me to work on and I am tempted to put this for sale on my Redbubble and Society6 but they barely got noticed on Instagram and Tumblr so idk, I don't want to risk them getting ignored on there as well. Nobody seems to care much about my OCs because they're not based on any particular fandom. Anyway, enjoy your weekend, I'm working on another little project (as other projects sit around waiting to be finished) so let's see when I post that. Till next doodle, toodles!

When will this baby fever leave me? Wednesday

 

      Hello! I actually forgot to post on here last week so here's something I finished last week and then Friday I'll post the other, uh, piece (it became four pieces so I was hesitant to post it here). 


So I got this baby fever that won't leave me but because of the year we're in and the pandemic we're having, not like I'll be able to satisfy it because I'm still single (not surprised) and I have no money and it's too dangerous. So I have to content myself with doodling babies. Maybe you recognize this baby as having been in my old spring chibi/hanami doodles which means that yes, he is among my sprawling (and unfortunately increasing) list of OCs. The poor paper is beat up because I had been working on this for like a month and it appears that if I leave paper lying around, it's bound to get sat on or crushed by something else, smh. 

I've been feeling kinda down lately because of the above mentioned baby fever that I've had for months already and my current lack of funds. Yeah, I had that stimulus check from early on in the pandemic and it should have lasted me a little longer but I didn't expect to get Disney + in the summer and for my parents to borrow money from me to make a down payment on windows we still haven't received because of a bunch of things related to fixing up the house I'm stuck living in so my money has run out faster and I have an old car that needs fixing, a phone that I apparently have to replace soon thanks to our phone company, and I would love to get my own place so that I don't have to wait around to take a shower in my own house because someone is hogging up our one bathroom, have limitations put on my internet time and I don't have to hear my parents arguing or being annoying... but I don't want to be forced to search for a job and I know my best shot at getting a job is going to be in retail customer service but I've been there done that and don't want that anymore, hence why I quit my "good job" at Publix. But when I advertise my online shops or offer commissions, nobody takes me up on it so ahahaha I'm screwed.

Well anyway, till next doodle which should be coming up on Friday unless I get distracted, toodles.
