Wanted to pump out another track, this time focusing on the Y2K aesthetic. I went for a trance-y vibe, using my Yamaha TG500 and Korg TR-Rack in some places, while using VST emulations of late 90s synths to match the vibe.
By the way, a lot of these synths were used in a lot of games made by Sega at the time.
Made a track using the JD-990 as the bass instrument. I made it after picking “downtempo” from a wheel of other genres.
Just a sketch of a female Machop and a female Timburr. I don’t post fan art often, but I’ll make exceptions on the blog aspect of this site. I love shortstacks.
Today’s speedpaint.
So, since Sunday’s stream will be focused on carnivals and the like, I thought back to this one clip from Maximum Exposure, where this one dude and his assistant were performing all sorts of tricks in front of an audience, including the guy carving his name into an apple held in his assistant’s mouth… using a chainsaw. God, I love Max X!

So, this speedpaint was supposed to be released yesterday, but real life kinda got in the way of me working on it, so here it is. Late, but it’s here!
Since last stream’s subject was magic, I decided to blend that with the mid-week subject of scary animals. I saw “milk snake” on a list of scary-looking animals that are pretty much harmless, and proceeded to learn a bit about them. Apparently, despite looking like the highly venomous coral snake, milk snakes aren’t poisonous, no matter how much they want to be, so I decided to make her into an alchemist who deals with toxins.

God, do I love incorporating winding forms into my art.
This is the subject of today’s speedpaint, a Malabari goat with the ability to stretch her body like rubber, totally not inspired by Dhalsim from Street Fighter.
Sort of unrelated, but I was listening to some ethnic electronica whilst I was drawing this, and it felt right to add it into the speedpaint. Not to mention, I’m in the middle of searching for sounds used in Dragonball Z Budokai 3, several of which belong to EastWest and Zero-G, who have sample libraries dedicated to Asian Fusion and the like. Just thought I’d add that in.

Last speedpaint of the week, this time, featuring an aardwolf.
I kinda messed up the shading of the left leg, but I’m still happy with how it came out. Also, I learned about the Fingertip subtool in CSP. It’s essentially their version of Photoshop’s smudge tool, so whenever I wanna paint a fire, I’ll know what to use.

It’s that time again! A new speedpaint, this time, featuring an emerald cockroach wasp. I chose this one after running through a list of scary animals, and if you know, you know. This picture also gave me the chance to dive into a little humor, especially with how I draw male characters.

Timelapse is out!
This one took a bit. This is the first speedpaint of the week, which will be released tomorrow. I picked a jellyfish, because according to some website, jellyfishes are associated with time. To me, it makes sense, since last I checked, they’re practically immortal.
I did boomer a bit on this, though. I accidentally streamed this on Picarto.tv. Good thing Picarto allows me to save streams and download them.
