Making a news post to jot down drawing ideas and works I plan to return to.

Fall Guys OC Fanart: The picture of my Fall Guy getting ready to go compete that I have shared previews of in the past. The current state of the game has me conflicted on my motivation to finish this piece to be honest. There's this second part of the drawing I'm debating on scrapping from the final image (though I do like the pose):

Left 4 Dead 2 Modding is a Wonderful Thing: A successor to this: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/blushroom20/mini-sticky-note-doodles

I wanted to draw something nicer to look at than a bunch of pink sticky notes to commemorate the self-indulgent misadventures in L4D2 modding I've done recently. The posing has been difficult to get down. And guns. I hate drawing guns.

One From Every Heroics: Still on Hiatus. I have to get used to drawing in that style again. As a reminder, there's still some classes I'm not sure which design to draw so I'm up for suggestions.

Posting of Old Stuff: I still have some art from previous class assignments and whatnot I could post here. It would add more traditional art to my page, in a similar vein to:

So if that interests you, keep an eye out.

Other Incomplete Art: There's plenty of stuff still on my backburner but time will tell whether I go back to it or make another "Digging Through WIPs" post about it instead.

I did mention porting the "Digging Through WIPs" series to my Tumblr blog, though I feel like it wouldn't be worth the effort for the few people who would see it within the sea of reblogs I do.

Blu's Miitopia Encore - (Sept/Oct 2021)

I was very excited for Miitopia's port on the Switch. I attempted to do another group picture to go along with this, but it unfortunately met the same fate as the last one. I have a problem with making too many drawing ideas and never finishing them. Instead of holding onto this one like I did the old one, I'm going to drop it now. Below are some pictures from what I have completed, which is not too much. I'll provide in-game screenshots as well for reference.

Team Greenhorne - Pop Star Alyx, Chef Teruteru, Warrior Zenura, Mage Cartman

Team Greenhorne is near identical to the one I had on the 3DS. The main difference is I chose to start with Pop Star instead of Warrior, with Zenura using the job instead. I'm the most incomplete cause I wasn't sure what outfit to wear. This group is the most complete overall; the others have incompleted sketches let alone lineart.

Team Neksdor - Imp Alyx, Cleric Isaac, Scientist Azul, Thief Inkling Girl Iris

Previously, I had Imp Tweek in my party as a reference to South Park Phone Destroyer. This time around I reduced the amount of South Park characters in my party as my interest in the show was low (and the show itself I didn't have any ideas on who else to have as Imp so I took it. Azul was in my 3DS run (back before she had a real name and I just refereed to her as "The Blue One"), but I promoted her to main party this time around. Iris was in the Greenhorne group on 3DS, but she got moved to Neksdor to make room for Zenura.

Team Realm of The Fey - Flower Alyx, Tank Bowser Jr, Princess Yuma, Cat Lance

Bowser Jr. was a tank in my 3DS run. This time around I was going to make him a cat, referencing Nintendo finally giving us Meowser Jr. as a bonus for 100% completing Bowser's Fury. I accidentally misclicked and instead of going through the hassle of swapping the Mii designs, Bowser Jr. got to be a tank again and Lance got stuck with Cat. Yuma is a character from Zanki Zero I planned to use if I played a hard mode mod I found for the original 3DS game; before the Switch port was ever announced.

Team Extras - Horse Lucahjin, Vampire Pump, Elf Fairy Iris

One last set for the secret classes and the new addition to the Switch port, the horse companion. I wasn't sure who to have my horse reference at first; the idea of it being Lucahjin came from my mom. This drawing would have featured her VTuber self along with the Miitopia horse. As a bonus for reaching the end, here's a drawpile doodle of VTuber Lucah with the Greenhorne team:

Posting my unfinished projects like this is comforting in a way; It's a way to tell people what i've drawn. This also lets me feel less guilty about deleting files when I need to free up space on my computer.

I hope I don't let One from Every Heroics have the same fate as this one; One Way Heroics is a series that is way more niche, and drawing fanart is my way of spreading awareness of it.

Finally got off my lazy ass and posted it! Have been in a weird mental space that has involved a lot of social isolation, posting this in an attempt to break it. I can't keep living to blissful ignorance, but I'm also too afraid to face reality (which is a theme I used in December's pic). Everything related to my 2022 art summary can be found in this playlist:

For the first time, I'm making a yearly art summary in one of those fancy templates! More specifically I'm using this one made by ghostgirl12606 on Deviantart:

Most of these pictures I've uploaded here; the few I haven't are nothing too special (mainly some Drawpile filler for months I didn't draw anything big). It would be weird if I used a dA template and didn't upload it to dA so I'll post that on there too. That way I can maybe redirect my dA watchers to here... Aditionally I have scheduled posts to go up on my Tumblr blog to give more detail on the art I picked for each month.

I've done art summaries since 2014, but never went through the effort of putting them in a nice graphic (or posting them publicly) like this. Usually I would just slapped together in a Google Doc table. Often I would go months without art so I didn't want to spend time on a fancy one if it was going to have multiple blank spaces.

For example here's a snippet of 2022's original document:

The other Fall Guys fanart I shared before is still being worked on but I figured I could share another preview of it:

With the debut of the Spongebob items in the Fall Guys store (more specifically the Imaginaaation emote) I got another drawing idea:

It looks pretty good right now (especially compared to the original doodle) but I have a bit more I want to add to it before I post it here. I want to allude more to the Spongebob reference. Not sure if I'll post this by itself or in another Drawpile collection. I haven't made one of those since the beginning of the year but I also been doing less Drawpiles so...

Pocky Teruteru - February 2020

Happy Pocky Day! The outfit is based on one I saw sent in a Discord chat a couple years ago that I decided to draw on Teruteru. Reason I never finished this one is cause of frustration with the pose, mainly Teruteru's left leg (which can be seen more in my digital sketches below). Unlike other WIPs I shared in the past I would go back to this one if I didn't already have so many others things to do.

The Usami picture hinted at it but this makes it more clear; yes I am attracted to this unpopular/controversial character. Those of you who have been on my Tumblr account probably already know that but this is the first time I publicly posted this image in particular. I've been restraining myself for the most part but who knows, I may share more publicly in the future if there's interest in it...

I planned on dressing up as Ooga Booga from Spooky Month this year. Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts I couldn't.

So I drew it instead! Also featuring my Fall Guy wearing the Captain Redshift outfit as I chose that as their Halloween costume.

#savefallguys

I have this bigass doodle page I've been drawing in for months (mainly from over the summer) and will be posting about it sporadically on my Tumblr account. A tease can be seen below (purposely shit quality to hide spoilers and stuff I'm not going to share):

Most of it is unfinished/not polished stuff I wouldn't put here, but some stuff that is in this has been posted here such as:

Masterpost for this can be found here.

There is also a different doodle page, but that one is staying hidden. But I will say I have posted a few things from it before...

The Fall Guys image isn't done yet, have been too busy to work on it much.

#SaveFallGuys

Also if you're thinking "Blu why don't you make an art thread in the forum?", it's cause I'm a chicken and really bad at social interaction. Yet I still crave it to some extent...

This is probably too soon after the post I made yesterday, but this post serves as a more general "sneak peak" to what I'm currently working on:

• One of my favorite outfits in Fall Guys is The Blunderdog. I'm working on a drawing as development for my Fall Guys OC. (10/9/22 - Shiny new preview wow)

• One From Every Heroics is probably still on hiatus; I haven't had a drive to return to it yet but who knows.
• The Epic Battle Fantasy Discord server is hosting a Monster/Enemy-centric Halloween Art contest; not sure if I'll enter yet but I do have a basic idea on what I would draw for it.
• I've thought of going back to my pixel art (specifically those seen in the Pixel Art Assortments) and adding more detail to them; reason I didn't in the first place is to make it easier to make variants but also they may look better if I added more shading and such.
• There's a handful of works I made in the past that I could still upload here; mainly school assignments I made a couple years ago.

Happy Spooky Month!

I am putting this project on hiatus until further notice. Progress has been slow because of a combination of burnout and other issues irl taking up my time.

To tide things over, I'm gonna share this screenshot of every class that's being covered in this project:

It wasn't until I looked at this again, I realized I'm over the halfway mark! Blank squares are labeled with what Type (A, B, or C) I intend on drawing but may possibly change in the future.

Here's every preview I've uploaded on Newgrounds:
