Recently finished. Drew the structure on FireAlpaca, and the rest of it on PowerPoint (including colouring and highlights). Yes, Office 365's PowerPoint has a vastly improved drawing feature, though it functions more like oekaki software these days -- all shades are available to you and you can erase, but you can't blend.
Intending this to be sleeve art for a song I might release at some point. Whenever. Whatever.
So in the vein of my very first post on this thread, I want to post a WIP. Exclusively drawn on MS PowerPoint 365.
It's now enabled all shades and there's four erasers -- I'm using it as a training toy more than anything, because I can't blend and I'm forcing myself to learn, just by manually texturing, how lighting and shadow work on different things.
Side note, I realise the harpist is only gripping that harp with her wrist but I'm afraid it's too late for me to change that.
Another drum-related study. Sketchbook.
It REALLY FEELS SO GOOD to have full Sketchbook go for free. Commiserations to those who had to pay through their teeth for a Sketchbook Pro subscription back in the day...
Just finished this.
I still hold on to the hope that the game that brought about this fanart will get out of development hell and finally see the light of day.
WIP, the progress of which I shared on Discord.
Holy hornbeam this was hard to do. And I'm still not finished hhhh ;;

Thank you meep ❤️ It varies. Travels of Vagabonds was the easiest of the lot, notwithstanding the title cards, and at most, would've taken me 20mn or so. Others had more detail. I remember the Purity section having taken me an hour and ten minutes, yet the vision of that was the clearest in my mind. It was also the one with the most detail.
I tend to spend no longer than an hour and ten minutes each time, though, because I struggle to either continue it or retain attention.

Aaa thank you meep ❤️ I hope that piece is finished before long!
Drew this today, as a study. I don't think I'm planning to release it on NG or DeviantArt. OC is mine.
Regardless -- I hope it's a lot more realistic than what I've been known to do hhhh ;;
A small token gesture of thanks for all the support I received over vocal A Breeze From Home. It's nothing much, but I hope you find something to like about it.
This one was such a joy to do. It's also my first time actually achieving something like this, which is kinda the look and feel I relate to the most.
Finished today, and provisionally on Newgrounds.
WIP.
Newgrounds characters + musical instruments + poster format = ?
I wasn't expecting to draw anything today, let alone actually be happy with a drawing.
Did a quick attempt at an avatar and decided to go bright and cheery again.
Right, ready to reveal what I've been working on lately. I have already pitched this to NG Staff, and the organising team for this year's Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch (NGADM) are backing me up on this.
A proposed Newgrounds skin, which, if all goes well, might grace the background when auditions kick off!
Lineart version:
Those are MS PowerPoint outlines, yo. The colouring was done on Sketchbook. I'll upload this properly onto Newgrounds when the auditions for the NGADM kick off.
I am also chipping away at the other art assets for this year's NGADM, including promo poster and banner artwork. It is a major anniversary -- it'll be 10 years this year since the first NGADM was held -- and many of us on the audio side of Newgrounds really feel it's a thing to be celebrated. Hopefully this'll give more visibility to the competition this year!
Pleased to announce that another piece of NGADM-related art is done, and this is the first piece to go up on NG because awareness and all that. Tell all your musician friends!
I like the Newgrounds skin. Nice work. 😁 By the way, I can recommend a free art program for drawing if you need something other than PowerPoint.

Thank you. ^_^

Ready to jump down, are we? 😋
I already use Autodesk Sketchbook for colouring, and I occasionally draw with it. The only reasons I much prefer PowerPoint are 1) because of how clean its outlines are, possibly the cleanest I've seen, 2) because I want to annoy people who like to say that stuff made on X software is impossible, isn't art, whatever. I see that I have visibly provoked a reaction over my usage of PowerPoint, I'm glad that the drawing achieved its goal. 😉

I only mention software because it would make more tools available to you. I know cost is a barrier for many people and a lot of the free programs are virtually unknown. In my experience, just using a program other than Photoshop "the industry standard" is enough to elicit a negative reaction from certain other people. You don't have to really try to do it, it will just happen, although slowly that attitude is changing.

I understand.
Evidently I know you don't express that view, but I've long believed that anyone who likes to bandy around that remark can go eat their most beloved Photoshop, with its newly inflated subscription price. 😉 I'd like to ask them if they ever toss that remark at me, "what's it to you?".
In the past I'd been known to use FireAlpaca, and earlier it was GIMP. Very occasionally would I use MS Paint, mainly for pixel art.
I hadn't shared this link on the art thread but, it's a sketch of the Sacred Heart.
This is not any hip-hop reference by the way, I am unfamiliar with the genre and its workings and its theatrics.
Finally drew Tetria in the style in which she should have been drawn all along, and made her look like an Ar tonelico character.
