It's gonna be back, this date and stream. A stream to countdown to change the number that hasn't been changed in a decade. It's been so long it's awkward and I'm going to make it the big awkward if needed.
So, soon over at https://picarto.tv/AssasinMonkey

WAIT... who gave her an apple?!
It's still Mermay somewhere right? Little Nautila, Always happy to see how many folks like her! She's gotta be my fav OC creation, altho she can be a bit of a pain to make haha.
Hadn't really made her in this style yet (or many other charact...
Still time for some Mermay. Figured I'd try making it Desktop Wallpaper ratio. Haven't done those in a while, and the last time I did a fjord I did the same.
Ended up with the stupid ambitious idea... I full well knew this was a perspective I would not be able to get perfect just from imagination. But I rolled with it, changed into just making it look good en...

Couldn't resist doing at least one MerMAY.
But sometimes it's the most stupidly ambitious ideas that take a hold.
I full well knew I would not be able to get this distorted perspective correct, so at this point it's less about accuracy and more about whether it'll look acceptable. Not quite sure about "convincing".
Been adjusting a lot already, and still plenty more. But here's the current state for now!

I wasn't sure on sharing this, even tho it's my second attempt at an unscripted recording trying to ask myself (big/deep) questions. But what better place to just throw things out but here?! It's part of why I made a Patreon, to show those "behind the scenes" things more. Trying to figure this out, see if it's something I may do more.

It's been an interesting day! Finally getting to see Imalou's designs in official MLP CGI form, I had to join in of course! Because friend I know who'd be happy to see it, and a bit of orange earth pony bias hah.

_Photoshop CC, ~2 hours
It's been hard to adjust to all the new situations this year. This house hasn't been this empty and silent since it was build. It's at times unsettling and there's no shortage of daily reminders of what used to be.
I'm behind on so much social that's been hard to wrap my mind around, there's (government) paperwork I'm struggling/unsure with, I've got some non-art stuff rounding up for potential art usage, (bot) companies with more plagiarism to bother me, a...

Some of the works that received their own file, but never their own upload. The hidden, the missing. In no particular order.

Equestria Girls and Oxygen Not Included crossover.
Crossovers like this have always been on my mind, there's several I've always been interesting in doing, but since I've been playing this again a bit, this happened.
There's something interesting about not just having to study one style, but two and combining them.

Random Thought: For fire it's probably best to have at least 3 colours, red, orange and yellow (bright). Radiating outward from a core/source.

Here's the early edition of the New Night Mare, just in time for Nightmare Nights eh?!
The light work in this piece was the main driving force, but also the biggest challenge. Some topics I end up returning to every few years or so, usually things I had in mind years ago that keep coming back. Having light within the body or going through a body and creating a "shadow" of what's inside has been one of those. Trying to create depth by using the values to show what's near the surface and ...

"10 years since MLP:FIM began.
It introduced me to a path of many adventures as an artist.
It has seen the most growth I've had in art.
The most of almost anything I've done.
Thank you, and everyone for the continued support who've allowed me to travel these ways. I'm sorry I've withdrawn myself a lot these last months.
I still have many stories to share and even more to explore." 2020-10-11 01:25:54 +0000 UTC View Post
Sorry for my lack of anything this past month. Art has been very rough, and the few things I tried became things I didn't want to and couldn't finish. I ended up withdrawing myself from things and need to slowly get back in.
Regarding this specific piece, it didn't make it any easier for myself, human face, tilted up, lit from below. I will probably not finish this specific itteration, but the concept is one I may revisit with a completely different composition. Probably not head on, an...

Lately I got caught up wanting to try my hand at BPM synced animation. I've done short loop animations before, but hadn't synced it up to specific beats per minute before. I've been doing a bit of research into what it'd take. I'll try to break some things down I've figured so far. This is mostly the technical preparation part to art/animation. Sometimes it's better to go in prepared right?!
I've kept it relatively simple so far. As I'm still learning about this myself and these are mos...

The last years this would've been convention season, but now it's just nothing and no clear sight on next year either. I've been looking at other options, but there's so much to it but also uncertainty. d my way back to catch up with content for all of you I can share and make this month worthwhile.

Sketches & Doodles pages
Been contemplating restructuring a bunch of my social media, some of it long overdue. A part of it has always been to digitally release my Sketch & Doodle pages, the pages where almost everything begins in one way or another, the best and worst.
Would this be something you'd be interested in seeing more?
