Hi I'm not dead

I've been rebalancing priorities ever since September-ish. I have some coms I still owe and besides that I haven't been drawing much. That's not to say not at all, just the things that I have doodled have been low-effort, low-energy scribbles.

As soon as I get these coms finished I'd like to get back to doodling semi-frequently again. 2024 was a good year for me art-wise, I made more art than ever, more than the previous two years combined. That's huge!

Although it's also unprecedented and potentially unsustainable. I got a bit addicted to how much reception I had been receiving and might have burned myself out.

Once I wrap up my affairs, I'd like to slow down the pace. I don't want to lean full into posting nonstop like I once did, but I also don't want to continue being radio silent like this either.

I also need to get over this mental block of "no one will care" - that is, if I post non-sonic stuff that I work on, it won't be received as well. I know I shouldn't care, so I'll try not to and post anyways.

I'll have to get into the habit of posting on Bluesky as well since I still draw adult stuff. I don't want to close off that piece of myself since I'm proud of my art and what I do. I'll begin working on censoring the original image when posted here and linking over to Bsky for the full, uncensored version.

Come 2025, I'm excited to see where my art takes me now that I've put Twitter to bed.

WAR!!!!!!!

Fat Knuckles is an inspired design choice. Completely fitting. Boy's supposed to be a bruiser, he should either look stacked or like he could knock over a house if he ran into it fast enough, and making him fat a way to satisfy that in a way thats both surprising and makes complete sense. Also the way you draw him makes him look awesome. A+ no notes.

ahh thank you!! i'm glad you appreciate my take! i make him fat because i portray him with a power lifter's body type! a regular body builder will just have a lot of muscle mass and less fat percent - it's often just for show and it isn't very sustainable. power lifters are built to .. well, lift a lot of weight! they have a higher fat percentage and are often a lot physically stronger than bodybuilders.

here's an example pic from this post on quora

for knuckles, i imagine him as being able to not only throw a devastating punch but be able to lift a lot of weight over his head too. a shredded look wouldn't make much sense for that, especially since he lives on an island and doesn't have gym equipment or anything. i feel like he'd be fatter looking, but he's not overweight per-say. he's just very strong - and naturally so!

heres a pic i drew earlier this year. you can kinda see what im going for :D altho these days i draw him even bigger lol

another factor for him is his age! i draw/portray him as being in his 30s so he's kinda softer now. that period of time in his life where he was able to evade the gut is long gone. you'll notice that if i ever draw knuckles at a younger point in his life, he isnt fat. being bighuge is a more recent thing for him as a result of him hitting later maturity

i shipped knuxpio for a moment between jan-feb

i think its a really cute rarepair that is underutilized!
