Don’t have it in me to draw too much today so I’m just gonna share some WIP of some of the art I’m working on for Beautifully Mindless.

If you couldn’t already tell, Wesley is a big focus for this project lmao

Rest easy, old girl. Thank you for letting me be your person.

So I started playing Legends ZA today and going into it I was fully aware the character customization was really good, but I didn’t realize they would basically give me all the pieces I needed to make a pretty good Rin within a few short hours of playing the game.

Yeah this game’s good.

BEAUTIFULLY MINDLESS

A mashup project about throwing every idea I have at a wall and hoping something special comes out of it.

After 3 years of working on this on and off, it's finally almost done.

Teaser trailer in the comments below. See y'all in December.

The new Mario Movie trailer made me realize it’s been literally years since I’ve drawn Rosalina and I wanted to fix that.

Drawing of my OC/Self Insert, Kraken, and Marie Splatoon in casual pj wear. Both of them are wearing shirts that have the text “Tired Bitch” on it along with an arrow pointing at the other person. They’re also both holding mugs; Kraken’s mug says “I ❤️My Wife” and Marie’s mug says “#1 Boss” Drawing of my OC/Self Insert, Kraken, and Marie Splatoon just sleeping together on a couch

Into the Rabbit Hole Pt. 5.
[READ THE ALT TEXT]

#WesleyWednesday #OC #OCArt #OrangeInkArt
Wesley’s Log 11/5/XX: Week 4 of observing the Rabbit Hole I’ve made a massive discovery since my last log. Deep within one of the dark voids of the Rabbit Hole, I stumbled upon what I believe has been the source of the voices I’ve been hearing. Floating in the middle of this particular rift was this massive gramophone with what appears to be a human brain on top of where you would normally put the record blasting a cacophony of voices I couldn’t even recognize at full volume. Finally after a month of digging, my first truly big find within this reality! A physical representation of one’s thoughts! Now what does this massive obstruction tells me about the person this mind belongs to? I’m not fully sure yet but progress is progress! Oh yeah! An important detail I have left out of from my logs that I’ve been meaning to bring up: the person whose mind I’m supposedly observing. If it’s not already obvious, the mind I’ve been examining isn’t my own. They’re…well…to be honest, I didn’t even catch the name of this individual. They were just a random 20 something that looked like he hadn’t either slept or shaved in a few weeks who I found outside of my brother’s cafe a while ago trying to sell some kind of album. I asked them kindly if they would like to help me with a project, he said no, I ended up stuffing him into a bag, dragged him into my laboratory and… …maybe I shouldn’t document this part…

Their name’s Kraken, he’s a local DJ/artist from the Inkopolis area, he somehow became an agent for the New Squidbeak Splatoon despite not being very skilled at combat, and is also Marie Cuttlefish’s husband because I said so. :)

A basic reference sheet of my Splatoon OC/self insert named Kraken. He is literally just me as an inkling. Enough said.

Into the Rabbit Hole Pt. 4.
[READ THE ALT TEXT]

#WesleyWednesday #OCArt #OC #OrangeInkArt
Wesley’s Log 10/29/XX: Week 3 of observing the Rabbit Hole I’m not hearing things. These voices are real. The further I go into the Rabbit Hole, the louder the voices in these pitch black voids become, and the more of them I began to hear. They were speaking all at once to the point I couldn’t clearly hear what they were saying anymore. I began recording these voices so I could play them back and figure out what these voices were trying to tell me. I’ve been able to make out the following messages so far: - What the hell’s going on can someone tell me please? - The worst has yet to come - Sugar (???) has taken its toll on me - I can’t take this pain no more - Just concede and give into your inner demons again At first, these messages painted a clear picture to me but the more I listened back, the more confused I became. I thought these voices were a cry for help from the person this mindscape belonged to, but why would they also ask whoever might hear them to “give into your inner demons”? And not just give into them, but again? What will these voices tell me the further I delve into this place? Only one way to find out.

Art train babeeyyyy

I’m Ben, an artist who mainly draws their OCs, but I pretty much draw whatever I’m feeling that week.

Also I draw a lot of larger women so prepare to see a lot of them on my page.

A recreation of the cover art for the Eminem single Houdini but it’s with my OC Wesley (the bastard in the top hat) and myself (the tiny guy he’s levitating). My OCs Rin (right) and Medi (left) dressed as the Hex Maniacs from Pokemon. A much more plus sized version of Marie from Splatoon dressed as King K.

I’m not even a massive Kirby fan, I just think the fat ass hamster is a vibe.

I have never popped off harder at anything in my life than when I saw this fat fucking hamster appear in a racing game I’m probably never gonna play at 9 am this morning.

#WesleyWednesday #OCArt #OC #OrangeInkArt
Wesley’s Log 10/22/XX: Week 2 of observing the Rabbit Hole After 2 weeks of excavating the rabbit hole, my results feel…unsatisfactory. Despite the Mad Hatter’s capability of opening riffs that should take me deeper into this reality, all they ever lead to are these pitch black, limbo-like spaces that yield no energy readings or any signs of life. Nothing that remotely looks like the kind of visualization of human thought I’ve been looking for. I keep hitting dead ends both metaphorically and literally and I’ve begun to question if this reality I’ve stumbled across is truly a proper glimpse into one’s mind or a hopeless endeavor into pure nothingness. However, there is one thing that I’ve been holding on to for hope. Every so often in one of these black voids, I swear I can hear someone’s voice from afar. The sound of a someone calling out to me telling me that they’ve, or maybe I have “created a monster”. Maybe my ears are playing tricks on me to convince me that there is something here, but I’m never quite sure.

I need to draw more of my Zombie gal, Ruthie. I really do not give her enough love despite adoring the design I gave her.

While everyone I know has been play Legends ZA, I’ve been replaying Pokemon X after not playing it in probably a decade.

Also I’ve been playing it with the gimmick of using only dragon types or Pokemon that turn into dragon types via mega evolution (excluding Chesnaught because I like Chesnaught).
