Here's the finished version of my drawing of Chariot

Dropping another outfit here

Therese made her every part of this fit. It pays to have such a talented harbor mom, but she's also what you'd call...crunchy. I.E. she's just a hippie. She IS immortal, and the 60s were the best time of her life

Of course! :slight_smile: feel free to share any of my art trades in the future too. And the Chariot is so cute honestly, you really are the queen of drawing plus sized characters!! Thank you for drawing her for me <3

Also maybe the skin tone issue you're having is actually a problem of screen color/tone! On my laptop, and the computer in the house, your drawings are super readable. But on my ipad its very dark, but that's an issue with smart phones- they're too saturated. I'd never use them to edit color for my prints because they color just isn't true to match what it will print like. Because right now on my laptop I can see Mora's face very clearly! Ahh technology Dx I love her outfit though!! Lol a crusty mom xD I can see the retro vibes in her outfit, I love the pattern in the top especially. I'm a sucker for intricate textiles!!

Ohh, thank you and you're welcome, I'm glad you like it.

Maybe, if only there was a way to know what it would look like on all devices xd. It would make things so much easier.

Yeah, her harbor mom is old as dirt, but she's developed a lot of skills in that time. Glad you like the fit XD, it's on of my favorites i've designed so far I think. Therese must have better taste than i do

Two new fits I drew yesterday

This fit is actually made up of Therese's clothes but it's being worn by an unusually elderly-looking Mandy

Clothes Mandy likes way more. And yeah. I'm aware her hair is a mess, and so is she. Canonically, it was ruined by an incompetent hair stylist.

The double hair bow and body paint I'm considering a part of the outfit

Poor Mandy, but it looks like she just rolls with the bad haircut xD She's not gonna let anything stop her! Also it looks like you got a billion characters just like me :relieved: :sparkles:

I really do have a ton of ocs, I have four active novels rn and a comic lol.

And yeah, fortunately Mandy puts a good face on things.

Unrelatedly "crusty" mom is open for a trade for anyone who wants their character drawn in one of her outfits.

She made both of these fits, jewelry and all

and this is her

If I finish drawing an episode for butter bee by the end of this week I will have time to draw one of these gals :sparkles: I have a billions characters also so if you have an idea of what kind of character you want to trade I probably have them just ask :sob:

lol, that would be cool, but don't stress yourself. this trade is open for anybody, but nobody seems interested in art trades lately for some reason. Miss Butter might be cool for me to try, though I'm not great at drawing thin girls, full disclosure. they always end up leaning sideways for some reason lol. still I'd give her a shot. Or maybe Mey.

Probably everyone needs a break too :sob: I know I need lots of rest from big projects and work so these things kinda go on the back burner. But they’re fun when I do have free time! I’d love to do another art trade with you, I’ll probably do one a lot simpler though just as warning so you’re not disappointed lol you lucked out with that painting :joy:

lol, no problem. I wouldn't be disappointed but prioritize your mental rest.

And yeah, burnout makes sense. everyone's brains work differently. honestly art trades help me with burnout because drawing other people's ocs can sometimes help me get out of art/creativity ruts.

Ah I see, with me I think I might put too much pressure on myself for trades :sweat_smile: I tend to worry if its it nice enough so it can be a source of some stress for me honestly. But yes, everyone does work really differently. Because it seems they help you! Which is pretty cool that you figured out what helps u create :sparkles:

Yeah, and I think it's good that everyone's minds work differently so different parts of the world can run smoothly when we all work in tandem. Tbh, I have a procrastination problem when I get burned out, so working on lots of things I can go back and forth between helps me. And I think drawing other people's characters helps me because i have a concrete basis to work from rather than frustrating myself trying to turn my imagination into a reality since i don't have a real solid reference to work from xd. I was in an art rut for like a week until I drew Chariot, but now i can draw again. So technically, your ocs saved me lol

Ooh mood I also procrastinate a lot :sob: I’m glad I could help tho! And she looked so cute too so thank you for drawing her 🥺:sparkles:

Ohh, thank you. But it probably came out better because your designs are really distinct, so she was fun to draw, tho tricky xd

Made a new fit cuz I drew my OC Marilee Montoya for the first time yesterday

She seems to like hearts lol. But o really do love this fit


and Ayla. Because why not. Someone might be able to pull it off. but let's start by turning the shirt around so the tag isn't in the front

I'm dying to draw some teenage/adult characters in Ayla's play suit lol

also Pjthetoonaddict's oc belle, but in one of Therese's dresses. this is an option for folks too

14 days later

I am dealing with some serious burn out and having some bad art days. I NEED to draw someone else's oc to help me get out of this rut. Doesn't have to be an art trade. Anybody interested? I'd like to see something that will inspire me again lol
