Next up, a little something for thismightyneed o3o I had a craving for some Steampunk Old Men and thought “Why not hit two birds with one stone and make it some gift art?” I am really, really happy with how Pitch’s cloak turned out.

Bonus: Below is the first attempt of my painting technique, which is as follows: Careful sketch with a 4H pencil first, then clean up the lines, then use water color and finally ink. The ink can get a bit runny if you’re not careful, but for the worst cases I’ve used Photoshop, and I’ve otherwise been pretty lucky with this so far, and sometimes I’ve been able to use the runnyness to my advantage.

I was tagged by frogspawned for five facts!

1. I don’t like skirts but if I had somewhere to buy floral dresses 50’s style, I would dress that everyday
2. I constantly worry about being behind my homework and school scheudle (most of the times I never am tho)
3. I bought these anime art magazines around half my teen years to try learning better to draw
4. I hated drawing expressions or faces when i was a kid, everything was faceless or creatures with just two eyes
5. I once painted a mural of a robot with a computer head in the space to pass a class in highschool

“Is he supposed to be in there, too?” Jack asked curiously, pointing out the round fuzzy shape nestled in some underbrush.
