panel I like
been busy drawing sea critters
#wip#artists on tumblr#wanna finish a few more before I go take a break/sleep#drawing transparent things is fun mgh#also drawing these traditionally was pretty fun#I think I mentioned it in another post but my brain overthinks less which is nice#cough I also splurged and got that piston blade pen cough by thingsbydan and I'm excited to fully test that out#on a completely unrelated note there's apparently a giant ass fish market in new york and I wanna GO
gonna try inking this traditionally for fun (and also because my brain didn't like any of the digital attempts/wouldn't let go of the idea mkghjgg)
#artists on tumblr#comics#wheezing laughing sounds#oh god I gotta go fix the eyes on the last panel hjfhg they're looking upwards too much#wip#is sweATING 'm nervous inking this >:'D but simultaneously my brain feels a lot less overthinking than usual#which is nice#I guess because of the whole no ctrl z hahah and also that if there's something that I really fucked up#I can fix it digitally or draw it again#anyways sneak peek; won't be posting too much of this one probs
as much as I like how these guys feel+ look gonna redo them haha
honse (kinda forgot about posting this here haha)
#rug hooking#artists on tumblr#fiber art#mghgj fam commissioned me to do one for a family relative visiting#the roving and mohair in this makes it feel really nice when I'm scrubbing my hands over it mfdghjhg#idk the textures for this particular one makes my brain happy hAHA#wip#sweating because gotta finish this by the 18th preferably#oof yeah I reallllly like mohair for rug hooking#they look super fluffy#like the aqua purple peach pink light grey on the mountains is a mohair#the horse muzzle orange isn't mohair I don't think but it has that same really nice fuzzy quality when it gets hooked haha
wanted to do a couple more examples for the commission sheet
#rug hooking#wip#fiber art#artists on tumblr#was thinking about repeating patterns in the design itself? like hte dorsal fin could've been a bunch of U's stuck together#hmm#oH I also finally updated my website >:'D#as in added a section for iris complex (spoilers if you go look haha and haven't read all the way or don't mind spoilers)#after this one gonna do a small square one#squints#I guess besides commissions I can also sell the ones I make/aren't commissions? like this one? idk

more wips
ended up redoing some of the head bits to match the drawing underneath
#rug hooking#wip#fiber art#artists on tumblr#oh man it's taking a hot minute for this one but the overall effect is pretty cool/nice :'D#my brain was second guessing haha and when I looked back at a photo of the fabric with the sketch/no yarn yet#was like yeah like the vibes of this one more#compared to the first wip I mean#what do you mean it's christmas#my brain has solidly ignored/given no reaction that it's almost the 25th lmao#squints#actually it's also taking longer because it's bigger than the otter one mfhgjfhg
inhales I really like this color combo but not sure if I'm going with it haha
squid 👀
#wip#:O#bold of you to think I wouldn't draw a starry seas version of giant squids mhjg#also gohggg rip to the anon ask I got a while back wondering if I'd open another shop besides inprnt#very belated answer is yes >:'D#slowly been uploading stuff to a threadless shop#squints#face/head still bugs me a little probs will be different next time yall see this#runs around doing three completely different things at the same time
more wips
#wip#fabrication#rug hooking#fiber art#artists on tumblr#yarn's pretty uniform at least so far compared to bg#or like not a combo of a bunch of different yarns#plus I think it's sock weight? dk? so how the overall texture/actual loops look together is interesting#I guess for comparison the white yarn is bulky#like from a farther view they kinda blend together#also might take me longer than the other two since the yarn is thinner hshjfg
gonna sacrifice this mola in the name of science and by science I mean try to do the binding 'die cut' instead of the whole thing being a square mfhgjf
#or attempt to at least#I'm gonna put him on my bedroom door ghjhg#rug hooking#artists on tumblr#fiber art#wip#posting this in the meantime because I wanna draw the final sketch for one of the 2 gifts I have left haha#fabrication#brain the past couple of days has been very productive#also it's gonna rain a lot today
rug hook edition of color combos I liked but didn't quite work out
#wip#artists on tumblr#rug hooking#fabrication#fiber art#purely personals#delete later#def wanna do something with the second photo#gonna try redo the border in blue so we'll see how that goes?#like the first two backgrounds were fine but felt sorta intense/overwhelming all together#it's kinda interesting/fun figuring out colors because I can try do like...a rough color sketch in photoshop#but obv. the yarn color's not gonna exactly match plus can look a bit different once they're looped/next to other colors#edit: OH :O was able to give the swan gift one and they liked it a lot :'D

on to the next gift wip
more wip also what if I opened commissions for these rug hook wall hangings
#muffled laugh#rug hooking#fabrication#wip#artists on tumblr#because at some point I will run out of people to make gift rug hooked things for hAHA#and the main thing I wanna make for myself is a big deep sea fish rug/wall thing#just a thouGHT right now but would be really neat if I could/there was interest
on to the next gift wip
#rug hooking#fabrication#wip#purely personals#don't mind the really warm lighting haha#had to undo most of the face/head the first time because something wasn't working out#as well as the paws but a lot happier with how it looks now#also discovered the delight of using extremely uneven chunky yarn#scrubs hands over yarn loops every time I trim off the extra yarn tails sticking out hahhkjfd#can't really go to sleep yet so have this wip
posting a gift wip since I know my siblings aren't on here haha
#rug hooking#wip#purely personals#fabrication#older sis is getting a swan and bb sis is getting an otter#went out today and donated a bunch of yarn at an art supply swap thing#was nice that they had small amounts of yarn/not full skeins that other people donated#because I don't really need a whole ass skein especially if it's solid color#I just want bits and pieces so I can do stuff like the swan background#like this a lot more than latchhook; like latchhook would be pixel art and rug hooking is more like drawing/more freeform#oH it's also nice that all that yarn I prechopped for latchhook I can still use for rug hooking haha#also went to a fabric store and it was crammed full of stuff and the yarn selection was actually really nice#will def go back
tumblr folks also get a wip haha
