Strange cat lady working as an illustrator. Loves coffee, cats, metal and animated stuff. Sometimes nsfw, always made by a human.
My contract is coming to an end soon. I wanted to check in with my manager today to find out if they'd heard back from HR about renewing it. Lo and behold, manager is on leave for 2 weeks. Guys, I am preparing to be unemployed by end of the month because wtffffffffff
Oops, forgot to post last night. I had enough yarn to finish my sweater!
Sweater progress! I haven't had much time to work on it, but 6 balls of yarn later I have this much!
Finished the sleeves! Now to finish the body. I have too much belly to be ok with a crop top version 😅
The cowl i started ages ago. I wasn't digging the contrast yarn i had tried originally, so I pulled that loose and just did a black "contrast". Happier now, added the braids and trinkets. It's a bit big and bulky and definitely affects my fov, I need to be careful if I walk around while wearing it.
not 100%sure yet if I want to add more details. I might just add a few shadows to the tree.
I put my sweater on hold to crochet a silly thing. The hairs greatly upsets my partner 🤣🤣🤣 Amigurumi is not my best crochet skill, getting nice shapes is harder than it may seem.
... to do 30 minutes of trouble shooting unsuccessfully and then just uninstall/reinstall when you want to draw. Like the desire evaporates in the process. I managed a rough sketch for an idea, but I was so frustrated with my pc not much else got done.
In an attempt to help me sleep at night, I crawled through some neighbourhoods. (There was a stop at the shop in the middle hence the dismal pace and heart rate).
Went on a walk through the forest. Many happy fungi making fruiting bodies. Seems as though other people in the area enjoy kicking mushrooms over and/or trampling them. The paths were littered with squashed mushrooms. Why do this? I don't understand.
I've got a stash of yarn that I'm not all that crazy about. I ordered it online, the colour wasn't quite what I'd hoped for. Dark brown and brick red. Anyway, using it to make a fugly sweater just to give sweater making a try. This is how much sweater 2 balls of ugly yarn can make (I have more).
I don't know what I did, but I may have sprained my one finger on my right hand. The knuckle is very unhappy about doing work. Pain only started today... And I really wanted to get in the garden this weekend too... 😫
I have made my first yoga sock! Now to make its pair 😂😭
Very nearly finished with making this cowl. It needs some trinkets and then it'll be done. I'm not 100% on the colour combo for the accent colour, I'll decide after a daytime look. It will suck to undo some work but I would like to wear this thing.
I am afraid of looking at my bank balance. I still need to go through my comiccon stash. 🙈🙉🙊 Anyway, all natural fibres feom local small makers. I have no idea what to make with most of this yet 😆
It's supposed to eventually become this, but I think my crochet gauge is a bit off so I'm gonna undo the seam and add a few more rows to *hopefully* give it a more relaxed fit. It's so frikkin warm!
I know I lost count of the rows while making this (I have no stitch markers that fit)... so taking a wild guess for how big this should be...
Spending lunchtime outside in our garden.
Uploading some older art that I keep forgetting I did.
#gothproblems When your black items don't match 😭 The original supplier no longer stocks the yarn I was using for this project (even though it's still listed on their website). Tried a different yarn with the same thickness but... the black dyes are not the same shade...
I've ordered more yarn. Until then, this project is on hold. 😅
Last #portfolioday post. This is my personal work. It's on the darker side, which typically doesn't do well commercially. It's also quite different for the stuff I've been paid to do. But also why I struggle to find just 4 images that represents me...
Hi #Portfolioday I'm an illustrator who dabbles in many fields, so I'm doing a few posts today. I have done work in 2d animation and motion design, I'd love to do more 🤩. 📧 milo.wildcat@gmail.com
