Wasting the unused

I don't know how I ended up with so many traditional art supplies ever since I get to college. All I know is I'll only end up doing mostly digital art anyway. But currently, since I'm graduating & moving away soon, I thought I'd use some of these unused little babies for old time's sake. Just to lessen the baggage space.

It started like this


And then it became like this. Maybe it was because one time I saw someone's handbag in the prayer room & it's black with colorful meduim-sized polkadots of these hues & between. So voila.


Another one. I felt like wasting the yellow & orange watercolor pencils & yellow paint just cuz I hardly ever use them. And then in contrary to the previous one, I felt like sticking bits of different paper materials instead of drawing on it with oil pastels.

Not blaming the advice; that is in fact a REALLY good advice. The sad thing about them is, nowadays most of the fanfictions roaming around the internet are either extreme yaoi (and yuri, but mostly yaoi) with crack pairings of two characters that a

Palette Change

Once again, a comic featuring my friends (even more of them this time) and another reason to waste my color pencils and some blue ink (which I managed, cuz I had to buy another blue ink cartridge for my pen halfway while doing this comic). I wanted to do a different story & concept this time, and seeing that my previous comics this year have certain color schemes with minimalized color palette, I wanted to fit several color schemes into one comic, and since that requires changes, the running gag would be the characters noticing the color change and constantly breaking the fourth wall, realizing that they're inside a comic. The inspiration that triggered this was Cookie Cat ice cream sandwich from Steven Universe [Episode 1: Gem Glow] buuuut the story for my comic turned out totally different instead. Plus I love ice-cream sandwiches and mint candies… also apples.
