Let's just say this is not turning out too well either! lmao

I actually finished something, again, wth?!

(clicky click here for full size, if you dare lmao)

Lame description from my D.A. because I'm lazy:

I always loved the idea of Snape having a daughter (but the fics I've read on this subject are too cringe for me...)  
He's supposed to be doing a patting motion for comfort with his right hand, but because I suck so bad at drawing hands, it turned out this way. Now, of course, for the left hand I don't even have a real excuse! lol I'm trying hard to improve my skills in the hand-drawing department, wish me luck 

Yes, it's terrible btw 

But it had to be, otherwise I'd take a month or two to get it done

Okay, I'll be very honest with you guys: when I first sketched this thing, I was 99.999999% sure it will remain forever unfinished. I am the most suprised I actually got somewhere with it, so as bad as it turned out, I think I'll be happy about it anyways! 

As the title suggests, my uphill battle shall march on. Yesterday evening I took a peek at this site on my phone and realized that my monitor was set to be pretty dark as it hurt my eyes when reading entire novels on it back in, like, 2017? So I started to ponder is it possible that my "art" (ugly drawings in sai) might loook... uh... peculiar, now.

They do! 

So, now I started fixing this one. Won't backtrack to the rest, rest in peace my drawings...

I might have made the shelves too dark now, I don't know, but as I said earlier, it is my goal not to take too much time with each artwork, so it might just be left alone. 

I am such a failure, you guys. 

So, as I started painting the picture I previously posted, I started to become really regretful about leaving this one unfinished. As of late I am not using anything I've learned from my Inktober challange (mainly to just finish things without the anxiety of relative perfection). So I dived in head first and started to just... wing everything. The results are expectedly even worse than my usual, but at least I can see myself finishing this one in a relatively short time. 

Too many distinct colours, I tried to unify them but so far, nope...

Apropo, I recently watched some youtube videos of artists who struggled to create in a reasonable time frame just like yours truly, and it was a mind blowing, eye-opening experience. While I was aware that I missed out on years, if I project that forward into the future, I can say that I have about ~ 100 art pieces in me before I keel over, which is underwhelmingly little if you factor in most of my works are of low general quality and tiny in terms of overall size.

They shouldn't even take a single day to churn them out, one after the other.

Also, ~100 artworks means very, very little room for genuine, overall improvement, so even those few artworks I might have in me will be of a much lesser quality than I would ever be satisfied with. Or, as in one of these videos the uploader said: you need to fail faster. (I'll try to find these videos, but right now I'm in a hurry).

On the brighter side I started re-reading the Harry Potter series! This is my, what, 8th time? At the end I will be like Edgar Cyce, who re-read the Bible every year... I'll end up being like that with Harry Potter if I keep this up! 

However, this will be the very first time I read the entire series in its native English - so far I've only had the first book in English only, the rest are all Hungarian. By the way, the Hungarian translations are amazing! We had a truly talented translator I am very thankful for: our lovely Hungarian translator, Tóth Tamás Boldizsár, who could give JKR a run for her money in terms of creativity and pure wit.

So, right now I got myself the English e-books (the Bloomsbury ones, so Britishisms remained intact), and I'll get to experience Snape in all of his snarky, native glory this wonderful story the way the writer originally dreamed it up, and perfected her craft. I am very, very excited about it, guys! 

So, work just got pretty crazy, my coworker simply refuses to work so I have to do everything...? All in all, there was some minor hiatus in terms of creating stuff, but I did make some progress here and there ~

This atrocity, for example, is in the making (ignore my comments to myself on the left):

One of his hands are noticably more yellow than the other, crazy coloured hair as always, and what's wrong with his right hand anyways, is it cramping up? So, to sum it up, a perfect representative artwork from yours truly, and it's not even halfway done!
