@Speed-X
Thank you! I used to hate doing backgrounds in my comic- and I still sorta do (because by the time I'm done with lines/flats I'm tired of the page)- but doing a few landscapes in the last few months has made them grow on me a bit. They're still a bit tough though. I had a lot of fun working on that one digital painting assignment- it's not often where I can just go all out and detail things like crazy. (Class is a good reason to do so!) The mountains are stone, but it doesn't really matter. xD I had

I'm sorta back. Still a bit meh on my activity here, but we'll see. I'm drowning in stress and anxiety these days. It should get better after the 5th with one less deadline staring me in the face though.

I'm pretty sure I did these by selling my soul to some artistic demon that possesses me randomly. I swear some days I can't do anything nice and other days I'm just "How did I do this?!" xD I do love messing with leaves- found a nice brush for doing them recently.

And the tonal study was using a photo reference- but yeah. I told my professor that I would refuse to do photo-realism for the rest of the semester. Spent 16 hours on that. X_x And it was only the first assignment of the semester.

And my holidays were alright. Brothers decided to bring up politics, one threw a fit, said something to make my mom cry, etc. etc. - but up to that point it went well. Then I got hit by a bad case of hypotension yesterday. (I'm fine though! Just tired!)

@Caite-chan
Thank you! I enjoyed the speed paints- had to do them for class. I swear I'm the only one who can be 3 weeks late on a speed paint. xD Only took me an hour or two most on those. I formatted two of them for 1920x1080 if you want to use them as wallpapers- had to scale/crop a little bit to get them to fit right, but it's not too noticeable. I couldn't scale the mountains one cause it was portrait though- it didn't look good scaled or cropped. xD

@Neo Emolga
There was no self-bashing in my previous posts? The whole eye-burning thing was more a jab at how dead the thread was because I had triple posted at that point (no feedback whatsoever on art) and the "I give up" was me being tired of double/triple posting. I don't like to double/triple post. It feels spammy. I don't deny getting frustrated after 3 back-to-back posts of art with no feedback. Especially when it's art I'm actually happy with (Phayla). It's discouraging at best. Not your fault or the fault of anyone here- it's just how I am. Sometimes I find it easier to stop posting entirely so I don't get any hopes/expectations of feedback. As a whole, I've been relatively happy with my work (I mean, as happy as I ever get over it) as of late- especially my digital painting nonsense and Inktober nonsense (though, no one cares about the Inktober stuff since it's nerdy fan-art, but I'm okay with that cause I wanted to do nerdy fan-art).

Anyway, have some videos of my scribbles. xD
