Sketches on the Bus, Because Syn Gets Bored Easily

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, it’s Pride Month. Do I care about the month? Meh, not really. Y’all go off. It’s just another month, except all the corporates want to bank off of the community – which I have problems with – even though they’re some of the nicest people on Earth and don’t deserve that, but we don’t talk about that :))

Anyways, I was talking on a Discord server about topics that mature human beings talk about: Leo Valdez from the Percy Jackson franchise.

I said in passing that I was so obsessed with the fandom and Leo that I made very crappy fan art of him. Everyone asked for the piece of art, but at the time I wasn’t home nor did I have a clue as to where I hid the sketchbook filled with old and cringy drawings. It was maybe when I did get home and when I was about ready to go to bed that I remembered what I had said and went looking through my old sketchbooks and I found it. And I wanted to.. not look at it?? I dunno. I didn’t want to burn it; just.. hide it away forever that it never sees the light of day and where I don’t have to think about it ever again.

So, I found it. And that’s what ima share with you today.

I dunno why 2017-2018(?) was thinking when she was proud of this trainwreck. Literally everything about it just seems wrong to me and I can’t bear to look at it, so that’s why I’m sharing it with y’all :))

Anyways, so I redrew it about a day or so later.

I’m also way better at drawing bodies now this one’s from late 2021

Hello, I'm a lurker. I think you should draw Syl. Because I have tried.

And I have... not done great.

So I want to see you do it. Because you're definitely a better artist than I am.

I don't know any of the people you drew, I'm afraid(except Kaladin. Duh.) But they're STILL AWESOME.

I’ll probably try my hand at Syl here soon. I’ve been meaning to do that for a while, so ye.

And it’s okay if you don’t know any of the characters I’ve drawn lol; a good portion of them are OCs anyways.

Oh, and have something that I sketched a few days ago

That moment when all you can think about is writing one of your characters’ going to a party with another character – who’s acting as the first character’s fiancé – for hijinks, ‘cause you were unintentionally inspired by Mistborn.

We got an inking I did about a week ago of Kalim Al-Asim

Binging through the Fools Gold campaign even though I’ve been with it since episode one has been.. well, both hilarious and like, really well written. Like omg.

Spoiler

Anyways, I found my sketchbook that my brother was using as a math book, and we basically threw out all the math since we both.. well, don’t like it, and I’ve just been sketching. The top two were from last night and the bottom two were from today.

And here are the individual pics:

Jade Crag (top left) is my D&D character for a campaign that I’m hoping will start here soon. I got some backstory for her, but I haven’t written it down yet, and I dunno if I’ll ever get to writing it down, with how productive I’m being with my writing right now.

Aethan Byrd (top right). Fun fact: His first name is actually pronounced “AI-than”; basically say the letter “i” and then “-than,” like in Ethan. So, no it’s not a Utah way of spelling Ethan. I dunno why I wanted to say that, but whatever.

Here’s a new one: Rashid Angevin (bottom left). I dunno. I referenced a piece of art on Pinterest and I was like: “This looks like nothing like what I referenced.. guess you my character now,” and then gave him a name.

And Creed Dyue (bottom right). A character I’ve drawn in the past, but have not gotten to actually writing it down, so I could say that I’ll get to writing him in a bit, but when in reality: I probably won’t write him out for.. a while.

“Kidnapping is so much fun!” (an actual quote from an irl friend)

Here’s Zu-Zu. I just didn’t know what to draw the other day, so I drew and colored in Zu-Zu, and now my sketchbook smells of hairspray :))

That's so good!  Also, do you use hairspray to seal things that might smudge?

Yeahhhhh. I may be an artist, but I’m an artist on a budget.. like every other artist.

@Mystic Syn, your eyes, expressions, and fluidity are magnificent.  And I was once an illustrator.

I love seeing your guidelines.

Awwww, thanks! :))

I also like seeing the guidelines after I’m finished, cos I just like to look at it, even tho I’m perfectly fine with looking at the colored pieces.

And I just fell in love with your dark-hair-red sweater-glasses fella.

Take it easy. It’s just a drawing but i can understand, cos I just like what I did with the colors
