A series of drawings from a phase where I spent most of my time Away somewhere
Year: June-August 2023
Tools: Paint Tool SAI, Adobe Fireworks
drowning in hope
This is of two characters I thought of:
The girl has a mandatory antenna installed on her head which constantly stream AM radio into her mind, which sometimes causes her to chew on her tongue.
The guy has a button on his head which needs to be pressed every so often, otherwise he permanently loses a word from his vocabulary. He has a constant dread that he will one day lose the ability to communicate with words.
They live together and somehow get through their messed up situations.
I drew the above while listening to AM radio, which was a pre-recorded tape on algebra.
This was a warmup after not drawing much for 2 months. I felt warm, and wanted to try a drawing where the human has simple dot eyes, and the cat has human eyes.
I think it turned out funny.
This was a second of the series of dot-eye-humans human-eyed-cats.
This one made me think about how people never draw bald men even though they exist
input-output
This last one seems to be a mix of the last three images, which was unintentional.
That could be one positive about not being able to hold a consistent style, your mind just ends up splicing them up.
Unfortunately this ended up looking like something from Gorillaz.
The drawing is about how for some groups of people, their inputs are negative things, and the only output they're allowed to produce is love.
I like how this one turned out.
