Hiya everyone!! Recently was able to finally defeat art block, so I'm marking my comeback with a new Cream drawing i finished last night!!

Funnily enough, what broke my art block was just listening to vocalod music again- I swear, as soon as the music starts playing in my headphones, a million ideas start flying into my head!! xD I guess since a lot of vocaloid music has companion MVs that tell a story visually, i can get ideas from that and the tone of the music more easily gashsghaj

Anyways, Cream's outfit (and well, the whole drawing really) is based off of the song Melancholic by junky! I just really love how cute this song is, the project diva pv has a bunch of stuff in the background floating around while Rin dances, i thought it was so much fun!! I also just love the outfit hehe- the lime green hoodie and reddish pink skirt go so well together! x3 I thought it would go nicely with Cream, since its a very sweet and fun song! It worked perfectly since I've been wanting green on my profile again, and this worked wonderfully x3

Im just proud I used an angle thast a bit different from what I usually do! I realized that, yknow, my rendering can get as polished as can be, but without an interesting angle, fun pose, or different composition itll just look flat as always :") that was the one thing that bugged me at the end of my MLP series, I liked the designs, sure, but it felt like they all came flatter than I wanted- Im fixing that now tho, so better late than never! hahaha

Im also working on just getting rid of lineart all together!! I was severely art blocked last week, and I mean it was baaaaad , I had NO ideas at all, even sitting in front of my tablet produced 0 results! But i decided it was a good chance to brush up on my rendering skills, watching some more videos on the basics of shadows, lights etc etc- In that week I worked on some smaller doodle-ish portraits of characters, focusing on erasing lines and more on the shapes and forms that make up the characters! (thank you sinix design videos haha) It just helps me work on my contrast and lighting more, as well as I just feel it looks more solid this way! :D

Anyways, thats all for now! I have so many ideas I hope to get out quick, Im also hoping to open up commissions finally after like 5 months of absence! X3 Which, I do apologize for, my only explanation is just that I knew I wasnt gonna be in the right headspace to deliver quality work to clients, and the last thing I want is delivering work I feel isnt up to par- but im feeling like Im closer than ever to making really good art again! I cant wait :D

(though, i am feeling tempted to play some DS zelda today- maybe after I work on some stuff Ill take my first videogame break in a while hehe)
