Some Clay Pins I Made Last Summer. Sadly The Froggie One Got Lost :\ But Thankfully I Have These Photos

What`s up with me drawing frog wizards. I just realized this is like the third or forth time i do this. Guess they are my staple now or something. This one is DnD themed :)

Ignore my monster of a color palette. It`s always a mess

Ive been soooo obsessed with ispods lately. I loved them for as long as i remember and I already knew people kept them as pets but only recently concidered keeping them myself. The last straw was playing this game called Bugaboo where you take care of little bugs in a tamagochi and the firt pet is an isopod and i was like: thats it. I cant wait any longer. Im getting pet isopds.Ive already ordered a terrarium for them and have been doing tons of research on how to take care of them I JUST CAN`T WAIT.

Also there is like a WHOLE community of people who breed them and select different morphs (wouldnt be able to afford any of the rare onse though lol) it`s so fascinating!

Love y'all!

Pro tip:

Number all your sketchbooks like they are Gravity Falls journals, so that when you are famous and dead, people will get obsessed with finding them all.

Bonus points if you skip one number to just fuck with the historians and make their life harder... and so that people keep hunting for that one nonexistent mythical sketchbook.

I found these plastic dinosaur minies and decided to paint them to look like Lucky and Wuerhosaurus from paleo pines & and i will show you all the steps in case you want to do something like this yourself

This was my firs time painting minie figures and i tried using the same techniques people use for DnD figures so you can just look up those tutorials on youtube.

I found these ugly plastic dinosaurs on at a flee market for like 5 hryvnias and this is how they looked before their makeover:

First thing i did was wash them with soap and strip off all the spray paint from them using polish remover/acetone, untill they were this weird yellowish plastic color. (Idk if this step was necessary but i wanted to romoves all the dirt & dust so the paint sticks better)

Then i painted them fully with a dark color. I dont advise using pure black. I used a more dark-ish grey with a bit of blue so the undertone works better.

By the way here are these mfs near a match (for size comparison ofc).

Next i dry-brushed them with a cream color to bring out the texture and leave the dark color in the creases and shadows. I had to go over with a few coats so that they were not too dark.

Fore some reason they made these guys all wrinkly instead of scaly but it did help with the texture lol.

(The more i looked at them the more i saw how weird and inaccurate they are. Still cute though)

And the last steps were to cover them in colorfull washes:

The key is to go slowly, building up the colors layer by layer. I also added a bit of different hues in some places to make the colors less more alive (like a bit of pink on the plates, or some green in certain places idk it just gives more variety to the colors. with out it it the colors look a bit monotonous).

Also, seriously go play the game!!!! it`s just so cute. Dinosaur designs are cutified but still faithfull to how the animal looked according to science (minus the pastel colors lol) and you just know that it was made by true dinosaur lovers.

They do have a tumblr blog at @paleopinesofficial but i see their content more on tiktok

I had a dream where i legit started feeling empathy for butter. I just saw a block of butter on a pan and was immediately overrun with immence feelings of grief and pity, thinking about how butter feels when it`s cut or melted.

It felt like i was actually FEELING the butter`s emotions. Then i woke up and was like...WHAT

Nah for real. It reminds me of how chidren humanize their favorite toys and how i treated mine as a kid. It really is cute how the whole of humanity has a little quirk of choosing an inanimate object and treating it like a friend, if you think about it. Still helarious how my brain glitched out on BUTTER of all things though

Bug of the day: STAG BEETLE!

What bug should i do next?

Honestly... here is a frog i found when rummaging through my krita files. Not only does he have a sword, but is also giving you thumbs up. I forgot i even drew him, and look...he`s not even bothered. He just chilling, saying "You got this bro!"
