I need to draw more :')

Gonna hopefully be able to work on my project soon! Life's like... tolerable, which feels weird and it's taking a while to get used to not being in survival mode, but it's a good sort of frustration, I guess.

Anyhoo, gonna drop bits of my project here and there if I can :D

Thanatoaster @rthanatoaster.bsky.social · 1d

Art hard

Haven't updated Auchnein/Faust's design since like... middle school? And I don't wanna draw this ever again :'D

#oc #ocart #art #ocsky

A human-shaped construct with green glowing accents breaking up the dull brown patina of most of his body. His arms end with skeletal claws, and feet are somewhere between human and reptilian. He wears an eyepatch over one eye and several draped cloths.

Weirdly, junebug. I used to save them from getting smushed in the hallways in middle school, and noticed they had fuzzy bellies. I'd keep them in a pencil box until I got home to let them out in a park by my house :')

A grumpy-looking elf dude with scruffy hair wearing a pink collared shirt, glasses, and necklace, with the words "Am I not the picture of enthusiasm?" written next to his head.

Lens sucks :V The three characters that have been turned into marketable plushies belong to folks over at @bifrostterminaloct.com

#ocart #oc #art #sketch #ocsky

An automaton in a blue coat holds three small, plushie-like versions of three other characters up by strings, with the words, "A marionette should know something of puppetry, no?" at the top of the sketch.

I sort of exist again!

I tend to name online game characters Dantalian because harhar, it's funny to me, and one of them in particular stuck around and I should draw her more :V

#oc #ocsky #ocart #art #sketch

A grumpy-looking woman stares off to the side. She has red eyes with X-shaped white pupils, horns, and messy hair pulled into a long ponytail. She wears a coat with pronounced shoulderpads over a vest and button-up shirt.

Sorry it's just been nothing but me buggin' out for a while. Filed for disability back in February, my claim went to final review on the 10th, and I'm already getting my denial letter on the 12th. It took this long for someone to just say 'no' in less than a day. I'm so tired.

My partner informed me we're actually closer to $1400 behind (this place is overpriced, unsafe, and our only option because of bad credit scores) and I'm just... Tired. I'm so tired.

Thanatoaster @rthanatoaster.bsky.social · Aug 31

Our landlord wants us caught up by Monday and we can't just pull over a grand out of thin air. I'm terrified and feel like I'm going to throw up our of fear and anger that my family is so cruel. I'm not doing well and can't get back on my feet no matter how hard I try. This absolute sucks.

Trying to vary the color palettes for some characters for my project I keep trying to work on. Bright side of them all being RPG PCs at some point means I've got a good grip on their personalities; downside is getting kinda same-ey, looks-wise :')

#oc #ocart #ocsky #sketch #doodle

Eight different character portrait sketches with a blob of colors next to each.

Today's a very garbage day in a string of garbage days, so comfort OC time, complete with his old, jarring color scheme. He's just happy to be here; I'm envious :I Oh, to have 7 int and 20 con.

#oc #ocart #art #ocsky

Flat color drawing of a humanoid character from the waist up. He has bug-like antennae and wings, and some robotic-looking elements at odds with his doughy face and excited expression.

I'm nearly negative 300 bucks, about to get evicted, and unable to eat food. I'm in and out of doctor's offices so much because of stress exacerbating whatever's wrong, and my family refuses to help at all. I don't know what to do and my body's shutting down and that hurts. I need help.

I am so tired :'D I just wanna write stories and make stuff

There's more info on the donation page, but typically when a family member says, "I feel like I'm already and in Hell," you'd be like, "oh dang, I should probably help!" and not "skill issue." But it is what it is.

I've begged for help my whole life. I'm tired.

Thanatoaster @rthanatoaster.bsky.social · Aug 22

Our grandparents left my brother and I a significant sum of money when they passed, but mine was made disability-compatible. Bro spent his on drugs. His rehab and bail were paid by our parents. He later took my portion. Parents won't help me. I don't know what to do. I'm tired. I hate this.

Thanatoaster @rthanatoaster.bsky.social · Aug 22

I'm so tired, in ways 300 characters are not nearly enough to express. I really do just want friends and to make stuff, but being disabled, having cartoonishly bad luck, and a very unfortunate personality make that hard. Shouldn't hate being stubborn about genuine kindness but here we are :')

Thanatoaster @rthanatoaster.bsky.social · Aug 20

I wanted to quickly doodle one of my freak-ass elves from the setting I've been fiddling around with, and it turned into definitely less-than-quick-doodle. (He's particularly weird, even by elf standards.)

#art #oc #ocart #ocsky #elf #butelvesarelikeraccooncats

A three-eyed elf, with yellow irises and cat-like pupils; the sclera of two eyes are black. He has red, messy hair, and a mildly concerning grin, showing sharp teeth, with a scar vertically crossing his mouth on his left side. He wears glasses, a red scarf, and a black jacket, though it's just a portrait, so his clothing isn't seen much.
