So someone linked this in the IRC channel I hang out in: 
I thought Mario Sis/Maria was cute, although I don’t get the weird half-shirt. Seems like a poor tactical decision, for a heroine or a plumber. Anyway I thought Prince Toadstool was kind of weird and scary-looking for reasons I can’t really define. I think it’s the face mostly, and also he has naked legs, which is weird. So I doodled some bullshit and then redrew it and kind of colored it.
This is basically what most of my sketchbook looks like. I don’t end up with super clean drawings. I also work right-to-left because I’m left-handed and it helps me avoid smudging everything to hell. Ignore that girl with goggles.
Here is what I did in Paint Tool SAI. Colors were taken from a picture of Peach. I didn’t go into the detail of the original picture partially because the person did a pretty good job on it already.
I never know how much or how little to talk about things I draw! This was not something I thought super hard about or anything (though I did spend like an hour on Wikipedia because I like looking at the fashion pages), but drawing anything involves making decisions about a lot of things. My own drawings are all kind of equally boring to me, since I already had to look/think about them for a long time, so I don’t know if anyone else cares about that stuff.
Anyway, rule 63 stuff, right? Cool.

Here is a thing I drew that turned into Damara. It started as a pencil sketch, then I traced it in ink so it would scan better. (I’m also trying to get ok at having consistent lines, which is a thing I’ve never really practiced.) What started as a touch-up in Photoshop ended with me redrawing it completely, first in Photoshop, then in Paint Tool SAI, then again in Paint Tool SAI. The final shitty sketch it closer to what I wanted, and I think if I kept working it I could get it to a point where I was satisfied, but by the time I got to that point I was so exhausted and sick of drawing anything that I stopped and I don’t know if I’ll go back.
The “Gothic Dance” picture I put up on Monday went through a shorter and more successful version of this process! I sketched it, inked it, then pretty quickly (for me) redid the inked lines in Paint Tool SAI and added some simple colors. Interesting how I don’t talk about things of mine I actually like!

hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
Say hello to our barn’s new filly, Versace. (Mom’s name is Gucci so it seemed appropriate.) She was born last night (Apr 25) at about 11:00 pm. These pictures are her at about 15 hours old. Pictures with Nikki in them are for scale; Nikki is 5’ 0”, and I’d guess Versace is about 2’ 6” at the shoulders.

I guess I saw the cape and thought about faked food and Dave appeared in my mind. I was going do the whole scene as a Dave/Karkat dialoglog but it felt too much like fanfiction so I mostly just formatted the text.

Here’s a thing that took me hours and hours and hours to make and I am still not done. There are things I want to change or add but I have burnt out on this.
It’s Rose Lalonde from Homestuck, based on Reverie by Alphonse Mucha. I say “based” but this started with me doing a sketchy trace of the girl in the picture. I tried not to keep too much of the original sketch, but there are a few parts that are very direct.
I used Paint Tool Sai for most of it. I made the circle thing in Illustrator.
I hate how Photoshop CS4 lies about being able to make animated gifs. I saved each layer as a .gif and put them together in Microsoft Gif Animator Application. (Update: I’m an idiot and was doing it wrong.)
I was going to say I also hate how Tumblr decided to stretch out this gif but it adds an extra layer of shittiness and that seems appropriate.
