@Oatmeal-monster

My boss got me cute cat mug!!! And he also treated me to anything I wanted for dinner last night so I chose coffee 🤣🤣🤣 Anyways, my last day wasn't all bad. It was just a shame that I couldn't train my replacement that much

@Oatmeal-monster

And so I have the time to draw againnnn And I'm still thinking about how to render this properly because I wanted to go with a regal look of sorts UwU So far I'm just adding elements while I think really hard on what to do with the robe

@Oatmeal-monster

Back to watching my dogs sleep while I'm here sketching and thinking hard on what I want to write and draw 😅 I'm not used to unemployment now but this short break is much needed. I might end up sleeping with the dogs too 😅

@Oatmeal-monster

Shookdt at the dinners I've been having since I resigned. We've been cooking mostly the ones that take a lot of time because I'm here to cook 🤣🤣🤣 And so, until I find a job again, I'm back to cooking duty Tteokkbokki for dinner!

@Oatmeal-monster

Currently working out spice concepts because I'm trying to join the next batch of spice NFTs 😅 and I don't know what's up but I can't seem to focus on one piece these days. Like now, I'm stuck on this first piece so I ended up sketching my next concept. And I feel like my digital style is missing again so I'm back to rediscovering stuff Software used: Medibang Duration: chili queen (1 hour), sketch (18 minutes on my clock)

@Oatmeal-monster

I've made pretty substantial progress on this one in just 1 hour and maybe 15-20 minutes. sadly, nap time with the dogs claimed me 😅 so a break was much needed. I hope I can finish this within the day so I can start on a new piece. Then maybe I could slowly work my detail level up again because my #digitalart skills have really gone down duration so far: 1 hour and 15 minutes software: medibang #art #illustration #digital

@Oatmeal-monster

I feel so lazy again today 🤣🤣🤣 and I kind of went back to playing stardew Valley too cuz I need the chill in my life.

@Oatmeal-monster

Ohohoho I've finished this one! But you'll have to wait for the spice NFT sale to see the very very finalized version of this UwU all I can say now is that I managed to finish this fast, and now I'm working on another piece UwU I also made a timelapse of this! And I was very very satisfied with the outcome Software used: medibang Duration total: 3 hours

@Oatmeal-monster

I swear, this idea looked good in my head when i was kind of working out the flow. but now that I'm starting on the render... I don't really know where I'm going with this. I'm thinking of kind of pushing until I'm half way through? because it kind of looks nice. And if I still can't get a feels for it, maybe I'll drop it for a new sketch 😅

@Oatmeal-monster

Last Saturday, we went to go see the vet because Victoria was getting pretty fat and heavy and we thought maybe we were overfeeding her or something. It turns out, she's preggy!!! We're gonna have puppies again but too bad we can't keep them :"(

@Oatmeal-monster

I've been unemployed for just a few days and my old ore partner still keeps sending me updates 😅😅 she's been asking me to come back and help her out because the ore samples just keep piling up on her and she still has trouble with the analysis. And I feel bad for her but my resignation wasn't my choice to begin with 😅 so I can only cheer on her virtually

@Oatmeal-monster

Going traditional for today because I don't want to forget my traditional art skills. Too much digital art usually makes an artist forget traditional, or at least that's the case with my friends. I can't think of a new concept for spice 😅 so this is the break I need. All that matters is that I stay creative

@Oatmeal-monster

Just realizing how active I am on #artpark again 😅😅😅 but that's alright, it's for all the weeks I missed and when I couldn't do art :"( This one reminds me of the Warhammer titan. Doing a light study rn and my friends told me to do blue and violet this time. Currently working on the violet layer but I think I'll finish this later cuz I need to cook Materials: blue pen, violet pen, vellum cutlet 😅 Duration: 2 hours now

@Oatmeal-monster

Done!!! Ohh I can do a drawing a day now! That's nice UwU I hope my speed improves too because this took well over 2 hours. But that's because it's 3 layers of ink and it's pretty understandable at that point Materials used: blue, violet and black pens Duration: 2 hours, 40 minutes

@Oatmeal-monster

My dogs keep stealing the bed- I'm not even happy that they're finally cozying up together. Ack I feel like I'm the dog now because I sleep at the foot of the bed more often than they do 😤😤😤 I'm sure I spoiled them too much nga

@Oatmeal-monster

My dog thinks it's okay to use my clothes as a nest of sorts 😤 I just go out of my room to get water then I come back to see that she's sleeping in the clothes I was folding and sorting. This clinginess is on a different level now

@Oatmeal-monster

i took a really long break yesterday cuz I was pretty much cleaning and taking care of the food supply for my sisters. Now I'm back to drawing and it feels like I have a thing for bottled stuff. But then... it's so satisfying to draw glass because if you do things right, it looks hyper realistic! Anyways, I took a break from the other sketch cuz it really wasn't working for me. I hope this one comes out okay

@Oatmeal-monster

It actually looks cute when I detailed it up XD now I'm wondering if I can copy that chili alien and maybe I could try making it look like an alien sale XD I don't know if I want to give it arms and legs... maybe on another drawing, when I give it an adult version XD but for now, I just need to find the motivation to finish this. today's job hunting episode tired me out quite so Software used: Medibang Duration so far: 1 hour

@Oatmeal-monster

drawing my crush because why not🥲🥲🥲 I haven't seen him recently though because he's been busy with his business. Though last week, he was pretty free and he visited me evry day after work. I just realized this is the first time I've ever tried to draw someone I know and I like- I hope the curse doesn't take effect here OnO software: Medibang Duration: 40 minutes

@Oatmeal-monster

French toast anyone? We had a lot of leftover bread from last night so we thought it would be good to just French toast them so they don't go to waste. Though I think my sister kind of burnt them a little

@Oatmeal-monster

okay I showed him this and he's complaining that I make him look fat 🤣🤣🤣 but like... he is chubby? and I just draw what I see. Anyways, I'm not even halfway don but I'm sure that I'd still sculpt the face a bit more after I do the hair properly software: medibang duration: 1 hour, 25 minutes now

@Oatmeal-monster

my friends were scrolling through the stuff in my tablet and they were suddenly asking when I'd finish this piece because she's so hot 😅😅😅 And I'm pretty much thinking the same thing because I think she would look good with the chili mascot instead of a caterpillar. though I was going with an adult alice in wonderland thing here software: medibang

@Oatmeal-monster

Victoria just wants to sit in front of the fan all day and so do I! And that's basically what we've done all day 😅😅😅 It's too hot to even want to move and as soon as we get away from the fan, we just feel got already. I thought it was the rainy season already, why is there no rain fall here yet

@Oatmeal-monster

Little miss chemist is out for interviews today UwU I'm surprised they do face to face interviews now and it actually feels like so much time gets wasted just from waiting and walking around the facilities while waiting for interviewers. I think I prefer online interviews more now P.s. I got a haircut recently

@Oatmeal-monster

Off to complete a lot of papers today 😅 So I finalized my clearance at my previous company earlier. Now I'm off to claim my passport. Later I'm gonna nap then draw 😅 Yesterday... I was stressed cuz I had 2 face to face interviews and both of them had exams and it's the biggest wtf to me ever

@Oatmeal-monster

tried minimalism.... it doesn't look minimalist 🤣 it just looks like a portrait i gave up on halfway. well, this was intended to be a warm up anyways since I'm gonna get back to my spice concepts for today. I just needed to pour out my current mood so it doesn't affect my work software: medibang duration: 30 minutes

@Oatmeal-monster

I finally got on opensea >\\\\< Now it's time to get serious with NFTs and twitter giveaways because why not? 😅 ack I'm nervous about shamelessly self promoting in the next few days but right now, I'm gonna focus on uploading some stuff that I really liked and stuff that never got on juungle wish me luck, guys!

@Oatmeal-monster

i had hours to think yet the best concept i could come up with is trapped pepper creatures 😅😅 it feels like I've been trapping all the chilis in bottles and glasses way too much anyways, i got lazy to finish uploading stuff on my opensea but the digital ones are mostly there now UwU software: medibang duration: 1 hour

@Oatmeal-monster

A quick sketch while this company I'm applying to tortured me with chemistry exams and a psychological exam 🤣🤣🤣 Gosh I feel like my brain got crushed after all those abstract questions and those that made me think so much. I'll pen this in later and hopefully give it to crush on Friday 🤣 I gave up on the digital version. Materials: pencil, paper Duration: 17 minutes

@Oatmeal-monster

I intended to finish this a while ago tbh, but I have dogs that demanded cuddles, and so I ended up cuddling and napping with them for an hour or so? Then I found a cute ant game and I played that 😅 Materials: pen, paper Duration: 1.5 hours

@Oatmeal-monster

Messy table for a messy artist that like multi-tasking 😅 Anyways, I'm working on a different piece while this other one dries. I have no idea why I inked it, I just thought it would look good 😅

@Oatmeal-monster

The number of interviews I've been on this week has used up every ounce of energy I have 🤣🤣🤣 Curse this introvert energy, I swear-

@Oatmeal-monster

Today, I'll just be spending my time reading this short book A gentle reminder by Bianca Sparacino. Although it doesn't count as a narrative, it's more of things to reflect on than anything. New things to realize, old things to remember. As the title says, it's full of gentle reminders phrased in a way that shows kindness to the readers

@Oatmeal-monster

Puff has been feeling more and more at home these days. Recently he just sleeps on the floor instead of his usual spot by the window. I don't know if it's cute but at least he's bullying the dog less

@Oatmeal-monster

In mall of Asia with my fam now and I think our grandma is gonna be late since it started raining We have a dinner date with our grandma! And I have no idea where we're eating but at least me and my sister are cute

@Oatmeal-monster

The rain is so heavy tonight. I hope I don't come back to panicking dogs 😅 because there's also thunder and I'm pretty sure they're hiding somewhere again. Anyways, Ice cream first while waiting for a car to ride home

@Oatmeal-monster

This was dinner from last night! We ate at a Japanese resto and I find it cool that we don't order the same things now so we got to try the other dishes. I had katsudon, my mom had sukiyaki, smol had udon, someone had tendons then I forgot what the other dish was 😅

@Oatmeal-monster

I'm making a bunch of food for today. This'll be the food supply for this week UwU and all that's left is to finish wrapping the siomai then to steam them. I think I'll be done in the kitchen by 3? Then I can check out my new phone OwO

@Oatmeal-monster

Today was busy as well 😅 I went to my new work place to submit my requirements and to sign the contract. Tomorrow I officially start working and I'm not ready to be a working girl again but I kind of need it 😅 Anyways, someone treated me to sweet bingsu so I'm happy UwU

@Oatmeal-monster

Back to working on this while daydreaming again UwU I miss lips 😅 and kisses but oh well, this weekend, he's busy then the next weekend, I'll be busy so I wonder when I'll get kisses again Materials: blue pens, black pens Duration: 50 minutes

@Oatmeal-monster

For today, I took care of work requirements again! And then I worked on my opensea collection! I'm happy to say that I'm halfway through with the uploading and with the pricing. I don't know if I set the price right buttt I value my art so whatever UwU Feel free to check out my collection here: https://opensea.io/collection/a-little-edgy

@Oatmeal-monster

Expand and diversify, that is the goal for the latter half of the year. I admit, staying social is hard for me so I'm making do with the skills I have. For the past few weeks, I tried to look into opensea and for the succeeding weeks, I'm definitely gonna look into wax. I'll consider it as an art dump since it's one of the largest and busiest NFT markets out there that's pretty affordable for starting artists like me

@Oatmeal-monster

I haven't been around yesterday because Victoria had her babies and we had to look after her the whole day and night. It was pretty early though because we were told she was due next week, not this week

@Oatmeal-monster

It's the afternoon and I just woke up after staying up all night to watch the babies 😅 corndogs anyone? This basically counts as my breakfast

@Oatmeal-monster

Day 3 of watching over the puppies but since they've just been sleeping, I tried finishing this while playing classical music. Dogs seem to like classical and so do I 😅 Anyways. I've been so blue lately, maybe that's why my recent drawings are blue. Materials: blue pen, black pen Duration: cumulative 3 hours

@Oatmeal-monster

I'm done with my emo phase 😂 I'm welcoming Leo season with a burning red. The kind of red that's so powerful and passionate, no other color could compete with it. Plus red is my comfort color 😅 It's based on rage and I do remember at times of what people say that rage/anger are emotions that show that you care for yourself at times. That excludes anger issues though Materials: yellow, orange, red,black pens Duration: 1 hour

@Oatmeal-monster

Started a new book today because I love reading when it's rainy. I also tried to make butterfly pea latte 🥲 it's pretty sweet and this is why I like flower teas, because it's just naturally sweet, even without adding sugar. I just can't get pass that hint of grassy flavor sometimes

@Oatmeal-monster

Sewing machine acquired UwU My highschool buddy is moving and her mom decided to give me her sewing machine UwU 💕 It wasn't a big deal for her but I'm really happy I can sew again!!!

@Oatmeal-monster

For today, I found a cute top at a thrift shop UwU And I immediately bought it because it was cheap and the cloth quality is really good. What I didn't expect was for it to fit me so well. So today, I am still happy UwU

@Oatmeal-monster

I'm mildly amused that the puppies are getting more adventurous even if their eyes aren't opened yet. I just keep catching them sleeping like this or next to each other and I think it's the sweetest thing ever!

@Oatmeal-monster

Today, I'm finishing up all my requirements for work and the seminar I'm forced to attend bores me to death 😅 I think... As a chemist, I can hold a better seminar than this because of all the presentations I've had to do all throughout college

@Oatmeal-monster

Chemist thingz and lab gown essentials 😂 You know when every profession has a pocket essential. For me, as a Chemist, the essentials will always be a blue pen (because it's the only one colour we're authorized to use) and sticky notes for writing down sample numbers

@Oatmeal-monster

my dog started giving me her pups recently and i think this particular pup likes me too much because she always sleeps on my neck. I'm scared that i might crush this baby, but i think she'll get attached to me as we grow up

@Oatmeal-monster

I feel bad that I haven't been drawing much recently. I did try to make a little progress on this but I couldn't get that much done because I'm sick and I've been sleeping like the dead all day Materials: ball point pen Duration: 1 hour, 20 minutes so far

@Oatmeal-monster

I think the puppies see me as their mom now OnO Last night, the pups and my mama dog slept on my bed, this morning, all of them were sleeping on me. So does this make me a dog magnet?

@Oatmeal-monster

And so, I've finally finished this piece OwO It took a while because I'm not used to colored highlights, but in the end, blending in the yellow and pink pens I have with everything made it look so good!!! Materials: ball point pen Duration: 3 hours, 40 minutes

@Oatmeal-monster

Back to attempting digital! i told myself i was only going to do a bit of a warm up so I can continue my spice monsters later. in the end, the momentum got to me, and now I'm just full on rendering and detailing up this piece 🤣 @rang really gave me the will to draw. software: medibang paint duration: 1 hour

@Oatmeal-monster

The pups seem to think that the space under my drawing table is cozy, so they've been sleeping there for the whole day today. Meanwhile, while I was watching over them, I tried to finish up the shading on these hands so I can finish the detail up and move on to the highlights. Might add this in my NFT collection, if ever since it's coming along pretty nicely
