Writer's Block and Deviating From My Outline - NaNoWriMo Week 1

Image
 ACCESSING FILE...  PROJECT TITLE: CAPTIVATED CURRENT WORD COUNT: 9,026 WORDS        So. How have we gotten here to day seven? I don't know, but I am already feeling the "not wanting to write" and "wanting to do anything but work on my novel". The month started out with a really good 2,000 some words on the first day. And then Chapter Two hit. Writer's Block hit real quick after that.      This is a screenshot of my outline. By about... the second square I deviated from my plans. I'm not going to put a screenshot of the next bit because SPOILERS . But the problem is worse later on. I'm also supposed at 11,000 some words by the end of today. I'm either going to need to sprint hard or I'm going to be pretty behind.     I need to go try and be productive. Stay Awesome! <3

NaNoWriMo Announcement/Story Synopsis

 Hello! I haven't posted in a while. Why whenever I say "Stay tuned!" in a post I go into a huge hiatus? Anyhow, I have a huge project coming up that I'd like to talk about a bit... National Novel Writing Month. Or NaNoWriMo, as it is more commonly called. I've attempted to do NaNo three years in a row, and this year is the year that a finish it! NaNo is starting in a little over a week as I am writing this, which means I am in a scramble to finish all of my preparations. I still need to solidify some character arcs and finish world-building for the country. But, I won't be getting into that right now. But I will get into some basic details of my novel. My novel is called Captivated. It's a YA "competition" book as I like to call it. Other competition books are The Hunger Games and The Selection. Both of which are fabulous trilogies*. Captivated is pretty similar in pitch to The Selection. A bunch of kids get chosen to go be a part of a competiti...

Spear of Justice - Undertale Fanart

I'm making this post ever so slightly late. I drew this drawing a day after I drew the previous post. I am working on a comic, though, so stay tuned! Stay Awesome! <3

It's a Beautiful Day Outside - Undertale Fanart

Image
Drawing Time: Approx. 2.5 Hours Characters: Frisk - Undertale sans - Undertale I slightly changed my way of drawing Frisk, but I'm kinda here for it. Sorry for the insane amount of Undertale fanart recently. It's just my favorite video game. I think it's important to note that I haven't done a genocide route before. I don't really like how I put Frisk in this drawing. They don't feel like they're in the scene. For once, I like the background the best. I don't want to talk about sans in this drawing... If I were to do this again, I'd probably make Frisk reflection be shown in the tile. I used so many add layers for this. I also experimented with Gaussian blur and motion blur. I used my normal shading tone for the base shading then did some overlaid multiply and add layers to do some coloration. Stay Awesome! <3

Megalo Strikes Back - Undertale Fanart (!!!SPOILERS!!!)

Image
Total Drawing Time: Approx. 1 Hour Character:  Chara Dreemurr (genocide) I told you I stole the "holding a knife" pose on Monday. This is kind of a "sequel" to my Finale drawing. ( check it out here I'm really proud of it ) My plan was to make three drawings, each one representing an ending you can get in Undertale. Finale represented the neutral ending and this one, Megalo Strikes Back, represents the genocide ending. I also drew a third one, between these two, that I called Final Power that was supposed to represent the pacifist ending. But I don't like it, so I didn't post it. I do plan to redraw it eventually, though, so I link it here when I do: (I haven't made it yet) Also, if you can't tell, they're all named after songs. I did the same shading and highlighting as I did in my last drawing, down to the same main shading tone. I ended up using a red multiply layer and add layer in a circular gradient to give it that red tint. I really li...

A Good Bye to Delta Emerald - Delta Emerald Pages 3-4

Image
I've been feeling really nostalgic recently, so I decided to post the last two pages of Delta Emerald that I made. I regret even starting Delta Emerald. I just saw NuzRea and wanted to make my own version. I had no plot, no actually inspiration. I want to make a good comic for you guys. I have a plan in mind, but I want it to be fully fleshed out before I make it. So, unless I sometime decide that I want to remake Delta Emerald, this comic is officially canceled.  Stay Awesome <3

My OC's in Undertale - Asteroids and Dragons x Undertale

Image
Total Drawing Time: Approx. 4 Hours. Characters: Candace - Frisk Kendra - Chara Chloe - sans Anya - Papyrus Jeff - Flowey Carter - Mettaton Andy - Napstablook I'm really proud of this drawing! I really like the effect on Andyblook. This was my first time drawing Carter digitally, so I had to make up his color pallet on the spot. Fun Fact: I made the soul in Carter's belt yellow because canonically yellow soul stands for perseverance. The "glitch" effect on Jeff's face was unintentional, but I really like it. Also, the knife Kendra is holding is the best "holding a knife" poses I ever drawn. (I reused it in the drawing you'll see on friday) I think the worst ones are Anya and Carter, as I didn't really try to make their designs truly the Undertale character. I think the rest are really solid. This is the first time I've drawn a large group shot and I hope to draw more. I shaded on a multiply layer and did highlights on an add layer, blended wi...

I Tried Rendering Again...

Image
I started getting really into realism last week, so I drew myself! I like all of it but the neck.  Stay awesome! <3

Wear a Mask

Image
Sorry my upload schedule kind of died. Unfortunately, the Hamilfilm review will not be coming anytime soon. I got really burnt out on posting and having pressure to post a long review on a schedule didn't help. But, all comics for the time being, Audry and Quin will be wearing masks! Also, I feel like people are going to use this as a meme format (which i am open to!). If you do, though, please don't crop out the watermark! Stay awesome! <3

Who Ordered This Burger? - Rendering Practice

Image
Oh my goodness, this took about 5 hours, which is the longest I've ever spent on a drawing. I'm hoping to improve on my rendering skills. I'm primarily proud of  the food. You're probably wondering why this has the "redraw" label. I initially drew this as a sketch back in December. Please critique my work! Also, on Monday I will be reviewing #Hamifilm and I am so excited! Stay Awesome! <3

Some MORE Hermitcraft FanArt

Image
So, I drew this AFTER Scar was elected. I just wanted to draw Grian as the campaign manager. Also, if you haven't watched Hermitcraft please do! I'm most likely going to be posting about it a lot! Also, HAMILFILM HYPE!!!! Stay Awesome! <3

Audry Design - UPDATED!

Image
I just got a new charger for my tablet pen and I am so happy to be using it again! This isn't really a substantial design change, mostly just simplifying it. It looks pretty blocky, but I can't say I'm mad. Also, I'm on stay-cation this week, so no Friday post! Stay Awesome! <3

Life Advice with Quin

Image
Look! It's a new comic! I've been having some really bad art block recently, so I'm really happy I was able to get a comic out. Honestly I'm surprised I didn't miss a blog upload. I hope you enjoy! Also, I got a new charger for my drawing tablet pen, so this should be the last post drawn with a track-pad. Stay Awesome! <3

Band-Aid Girl - Color Pallete Challenge

Image
I made the color pallete on Coolors , but unfortunately I didn't save the pallete. This drawing is not my favorite, but not my worst. I just needed a drawing to post today. Stay Awesome! <3

New PFP!

Image
I've been using this PFP for a little while, but I thought I should post it! I think it's become a tradition that every year I redraw my PFP, and I just kinda do it on accident. I like this aesthetic and will be using it as the main aesthetic on this blog coming soon. Stay Awesome! <3 

How I Go About Making Comics

Image
     Hey, I hope your all doing fantastic. I'm Ritatastic! And this is a bit of a new thing that I'm trying out. For some reason, I think you guys care about my creative processes (please let me know if you don't; writing these articles takes forever). Therefore, I am going to start doing these little tutorial... type.. actual... blog posts.     Back on track! What is this about, you may ask. Well, you saw the title. How I go about making comics! This will be divided into two parts: Strips and Full Pages. Because how I go about making those two types is totally different!     A bit of back ground before I get in, though. Even though the main types of comics I post are strips, I actually make full page comics a lot more. Despite this I have a more concrete method of making comic strips, so that section will be more informative. This method is subject to change, this is just how I do it now. Also, I won't be talking about my specific digital art process....

How Do You Use this Darn Thing?

This is just a little drawing of my OC Candace trying to use a phone. That's why there's that glow on her hand. And also the little blushies. Stay Awesome! <3

Ice Cream - Comic Redraw

Image
I drew this comic originally in 2018 in MS Paint. I thought it was pretty funny, so I wanted to redraw it! I've been going through a thing recently where I don't know what to do for comics. I can't come up with ideas for comics. But I'm really trying! So, be patient and I'll try and make some comics, but it just isn't as fun as it used to be. Stay Awesome! <3

Finale - Undertale Fanart

Image
I'm really proud of this drawing! This post is gonna have a little more text than usual, so if you haven't played Undertale and want to avoid spoilers, this is you spoiler warning. So, as you can probably tell, I love Undertale to bits. I've 100% completed the game once (Neutral and then True Pacifist) and am currently working through my second playthrough. This art work, if you can't tell, takes place during the Photoshop Flowey battle when all the souls rebel and are helping you. I put some fire in the foreground because Flowey shoots fire during the battle and I thought it made the drawing look more interesting. Since this drawing looked so good, I wanted to make lightning strike two more times. My plan was to draw a piece similar to this one but with Asriel breaking the barrier and then one with Chara and all the souls broken and the "9999999" in the background. I drew the first one and it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to. So I have yet to do...

Some Hermitcraft Fanart

I drew this a while back when Grian got his elytra. But, if you have not watched Hermitcraft, you should go catch up on season 7! I've been watching Grian and Mumbo. Stay Awesome! <3
