Artcorvid - Local Magpie's Art Diaries

This is something of a ref sheet i made for my OC Katta who`s kind of a main character from my story. It`s follow-up to that WIP i posted earlier. I was planning on coloring it on a "multiply" layer but for now i might as well post it as it is.

Every time I hear about Trump "Making America Great Again", all I can think about is that quote about Putin "Lifting Russia from it's knees" where the joke goes:

~"Putin lifted Russia up from it's knees... just to put it on all fours"

Same vibe honestly. Cus I feel like Trump is doing something artistically similar with America, or at least taking inspiration.

currently working on a character from one of my fantasy stories. Wasn`t really sure how to draw folds in the fabic since i dont draw characters like this very often (the cure for this is probably just more practice:). Still, any criticism is welcome. Also i`m trying out this technique i saw, with drawin everything in grayscale and then adding color with overlay or multiply

There is a saying in Ukrainian: "Tell an idiot to pray and he`s gonna smash his head" (Скажи дурню молитися і він голову розіб'є). Sometimes you can just say the firs half since everyone already know the second one. Context is It comes from the tradition of bowing/kneeling during prayer. And it can have two meanings:

No matter how easy, simple or straightforward the task is, a stupid person will still find a way to screw it up...somehow. Kinda like the phraze "You had ONE job, dude!"

No matter how healthy, constructive, well-intentioned, moral, wize, demure or logical the idea/cause/midset, an idiot will still find a way to either: a) completely misunderstand/distort it/miss the entire point....and screw it up, or b) go copletely overboard with no measure....and screw it up

This isn`t even related to anything specific in my life or on the internet, i just REALLY REALLY wanted to share some cool sayings/idioms from my language. Maybe language and folklore nerds will like it. Maybe writers and worldbuilders will get some cool inspiration for the way characters speak. Maybe i will just spread the good will of funny shit in my language and culture. I will post some more of these

Every day is Halloween day!

Sorry for dissapearing from tumblr for 50 years. So much Happened. I lost my phone, I had finals, I got a new phone and like 100 other things. But now im back! With this pumpkin. Yeah i know halloween has passed but i had such an urge to draw a jack`o lantern. Also this was my first time doing a more painterly look over the sketch in digital art.

Shout out to the person who fell into a lake when swinging from a tarzan swing today and had to borrow their dad`s jacket and t-shirt because they were soaking wet up to their chest & covered in algae and mud and had to take a bus ride home in wet shoes and clothes. Couldn`t be me😜😂✨😜🤩

I find it a bit funny that i was drawn to cara bacause of the online glaze feature...only to realize that it has a cooldown and literally isn`t available while i`m awake during the day.

I said screw it and decided to post stuff anyway without glazing it. Ai is not worth my sleep scedule lol

No shade to the creator of Cara though. The fact they teamed up with glaze and made the feature available in the first place is so cool (even if i can`t use it). Hope to get webglaze at some point but from what i understand it is invite based.

Ghosts go sightseeng too u`know
