Some contest entries I've submitted. The third one was admittedly kind of uninspired. So sad I wasn't able to get the guitar outfit for the spotlight prompt, hoping for the rerun. #InfinityNikki

A woman in a floral gown holds the sun in her hand beside the ocean, as if she picked up a precious jewel.

A girl in a blue dress offers a rose to the camera, smiling.

A pop star on a neon stage dances to her own beat in a short ruffled dress.

A mechanical ballerina holds sunflowers and smiles warmly in a field of pink flowers.

Apparently I forgot to post this one. Ohuhu paint pens on black paper with a little colored pencil. First sketch testing them out. #art

A woman in a purple gown with gold accents cups flowers to her face under the moonlit aurora sky, with a white picket fence in the background.

Tumblr post 1: Stories are all too grimdark and such it is fash doomerism to assume reality is evil What we need in these times is stories that inspire hope that is truly revolutionary

Tumblr post 2: Stories are all too fluffy and happy and such it is fash revisionism to shy away from the darkness What we need in these times is stories that are cathartic and unsettling that is truly revolutionary

MORAL: All storytelling is evil (telling lies)

"Wait until August 6 (UTC-7) and attend the Golden Feast."

Echo Cian@echocian· 27d

the update is going well #InfinityNikki

A snapshot I posted of pounding on the doors at the Golden Feast, where Infold decided to leave a fucking cliffhanger for weeks, with the caption "LET ME IN YOU [CENSORED]" that has 24 likes

Another player's snapshot, sitting on the ground beside me despondently, captioned "LET US IN!!!!"

A second player's snapshot pounding on the door beside me, captioned "LET US INNNNNNNNNNN!!!" (give or take a couple Ns)

Yet another snapshot I came across right after Plot Happened of someone crying, captioned "WHEN I CATCH YOU INFOLD I SWEAR!!! :("

Inspired by Infinite Baths by Sleep Token. Alcohol markers, paint & gel pens, colored pencils. The goal was to stop worrying about ruining it and Do The Thing. "I'm so tired inside, I could sleep through a landslide But I'm finally here, and I'm not leaving this time" #art #sleeptoken

Vessel walking through a crumbling ruin covered in pink flowers as a hand beckons to him through a crack in the sky and Jerry the black flamingo flies toward it. He's bracing himself against a broken column as he tries to pull himself out of water to keep going farther.

Screenshot of the extensions bar, led by Firefox's VPN button which is inexplicably twice as large as it was last time I opened the browser.

I expected this to give me something ridiculous but nope, nailed it.

The result of "Secular or No Religious Affiliation."

evil eggplant obtained, and the other one #PokemonGo Three more eggplants in the bank. I guess I can send them to Home and trade for other shinies? Or did they lock those for some reason?

Shiny Hydreigon, which has a green body and purple markings, making it resemble an eggplant. Or maybe a reverse eggplant.

A normal Hydreigon with a blue body and a different shade of purple, uh, frills? It has pretty decent CP.

Echo Cian@echocian· May 13

omg I'm never evolving it, it's too adorable #pokemongo

An extra small shiny Wooloo named Cocoa Puff because that's what it looks like (dark brown body with a light gray face).

Cute & Cozy Village Fair printable coloring book from Coloring Heaven on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/Colouri... Great for affordable human art. I regret to inform everyone that the trend is correct and this style is in fact really fun to color. #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist #cuteandcozy

A picture of two people playing a fair game where they fish rubber ducks out of a pool, having a good time. It's colored in a muted palette. I shaded with a brown instead of finding darker shades, and the result looks neat.

A couple buying flowers from a shop with a windmill and fields in the background. The girl's hat and guy's diamond pattern sweater reminded me of Sophie and Howl from the anime of Howl's Moving Castle, so I tried to do a color scheme that was reminiscent of them.

From Color the Living Island. Apparently I didn't post this one yet even though it's the first thing I did with alcohol markers? I really wish I had scanned this one first just because there's so many different color schemes I could use. #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist #dragon

A dragon with butterfly wings rests among hydrangeas, nose-to-nose with butterflies. I colored it green and pink, with the flowers a mix of pink, blue and purple. I'm not a big fan of the pink I picked for the dragon, but oh well. This is why you swatch your markers first, folks.

Sleep Token Official Colouring Book. I threw every art medium I have at Vessel (alcohol marker, pencils, paint and gel pens) and freehanded the background. Really like how it turned out. The crest is pencils and a colorless blender. #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist #sleeptoken

Vessel stands holding a sword resting on his shoulder, in full stage costume with the elaborate pauldron. It was originally blank, but I drew in columns and pink flowers to bring in the Even in Arcadia album art. Most of the art of Vessel in this book is based on a photoshoot.

The crest for Look to Windward, with crossed swords and lilies surrounding a pane I colored like stained glass. Figuring out how to color this lineart is...difficult, sometimes.

Printable from Selina Fenech, Ohuhu alcohol markers. A little disappointed with this one; I picked some colors that disappeared into the sky, so there's just random white lines as I attempted to make them visible again with the paint pen. Oh well. ‪ #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist

A Black fairy sits on a parapet (the carved details suggest a cathedral) beside a small gargoyle, the night sky full of stars behind her. She has an emerald green dress and wings, and pink hair blowing in the wind.

‪Tales from the Forest Kingdom by Hanna Karlzon, Crayola pencils. Combined two color palettes from @sarahrenaeclark.bsky.social's Color Cube 4 - and found this artist through her rec, too. Can't recommend her channel enough for artists. #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist

A person's face covered with flowers and leaves, with their hair decorated with branches that look like coral and petals. The bust is cut off by branches sprouting from a brooch with gilded pinecones. A couple mothlike insects fly in the foreground. Very fae vibes. I used a cool color scheme with a lot of purple, pink, and blue.

The palettes I used from the Color Cube, #817 and 879. The first is a winter sunset with pinks and purples, while the second is a deep forest with greens and browns. I didn't stick to them completely, but they were a good starting point. Sadly the lighting I have right now is quite bad so they don't show up well.

Another printable from Selina Fenech, same materials. TIL alcohol markers get streaky and weird if you try to layer them too much Maybe I'll retry this eventually with better blending technique. #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist

A woman with flowing, curly hair releasing a raven amidst flowering bushes under the moon. The markers got patchy in some parts of the sky.

There's a quote at the bottom that reads "When you are in the wrong or have caused someone pain, be brave enough to acknowledge your part and make amends. ASK FOR FORGIVENESS"

Crayola Florals, alcohol markers. The book says it's for pencils, but the paper held up fine to the markers - which is to say, it still needs an extra sheet behind it, but it didn't bleed over the lines. (Pictured: human error and hubris.) #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist #florals

Succulents in a variety of colors, with a vague floral pattern and swirls to fill in the space between them without overwhelming the art.

Love Nikki Art Nouveau coloring page from Donsveertje on deviantart: www.deviantart.com/donsveertje/... Ohuhu alcohol markers, pencil details, paint pen highlights. Love this style and it was really fun, will probably color it again. #art #adultcoloring #colorist #ColorfulDonsveertje #LoveNikki

Fanart of Nikki in an art nouveau style, wearing a simple elegant dress, colored purple against a light orange and blue background. The background has the logos of the nations from the game.

Printable from Selina Fenech's Etsy shop, Ohuhu alcohol markers with some pencil and gel pen touch-ups. Sadly my printer doesn't like mixed media paper, but putting a sheet of it behind thin printer paper seems to make the markers behave better. #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist

An angel in a simple ruffled dress resting her hands over her heart, over a light sky with a bronze-gold frame. It's a narrow image set against a backdrop of darker and more ominous clouds, as if she is calming a storm. The lineart already had the shading and cloud texture, but I emphasized it with the markers.

From Small Victories by Johanna Basford I just have to accept that colors will never look right no matter whether I scan them or photograph them, I guess. #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist

Two moths surrounded by a floral motif, colored mostly in purple and gold.

Echo Cian@echocian· Feb 10

Another page from Mythomorphia, and reposting the kitsune because I got proper scans this time. I think the phoenix would look better with a darker background like the kitsune, but I'm afraid of doing too much and screwing it up... #art #coloringbook #adultcoloring #colorist

A two-page spread of a kitsune in a forest clearing, colored orange against a night sky, surrounded by clouds and lanterns and banners hanging from trees.

A fiery rising phoenix with its wings outstretched as flowers and leaves grow from its tailfeathers, some burning.

Dr. Phil? In YOUR college?! I guess he was just as qualified to be a dietician as a psychologist.

That smug fucker staring at you from behind bars, where he belongs.

Finished coloring a two-page spread for the first time. Crayolas do not like to act like Prismacolors but I bent them to my will regardless (with considerable help from a Prisma blender pencil). My hands. Hurt. From Mythomorphia by Kerby Rosanes #art #coloringbook

A kitsune colored as a red fox in a dark blue night scene with purple flowers and mushrooms.

Echo Cian@echocian· Dec 16

oh no

An ornament of white powder labeled "Danger: Hydrofluoric Acid: 50%" (with a jaunty Santa hat on the warning icon), edited to have a cat paw reaching for it, claws outstretched.

in case you, too, go to wplace and find your art being defaced with hate symbols. recommended to add a guitar, pen, or machine of your choice. #pixelart #antifa unsquished files: imgur.com/a/aAJ3reE might also try to make Woodie Guthrie's version but it looks a lot harder to recreate.

The famous quote on Woodie Guthrie's guitar reading "This Machine Kills Fascists" (although this variant is from a Gibson sticker)

Echo Cian@echocian· Oct 14

do you have something to fucking say to me, amazon

A screenshot of search results for "sleep token" that includes a couple shirts, a branded air freshener, and an unrelated sticker of a possum with the text "Rizz 'Em With The Tism," which definitely seems to be suggesting something about the people they think would be shopping for sleep token merch

(the shirt in the bottom right is cut off but is one of about five billion "I like Sleep Token and smut" results because the romance girlies are all over this band)

I didn't intend to perfectly match the dance floor but sure I'll take it #InfinityNikki I guess I should horizontally trim these. It's possible to take vertical shots, but then you have to manually turn them and I don't know how many people in the game bother vs just moving on.
