A fresh banner with a new look!
I love my sona, and a lot of time I use my sona to reflect my personal journey. It's original was very different but it had a lot of problem and it was during a chapter of my life where things weren't great. So my idea of moving on from it is by changing my sona, like I'm starting a new chapter. Some of you probably remembered I had a poll asking what color scheme you like on my sona which was a huge mistake for me.
The issue was that I was trying to force some stuff to work together and as any experienced artist know is that you can't FORCE things to work! I was trying to keep the original dark pink hair and force some colors to work with it. When the pinky color scheme had the most votes I put them on my second draft for my sona and I wasn't happy at all.
The dark pink and lighter pink just makes my sona look like Pinkie Pie! I have nothing against her but I just know people will just be thinking "It looks like Pinkie Pie as a unicorn" and that's not what I want! So I took out the pink and tried different color pallets to see what I like and works well together. The indigo/violet colors works so well with the gold accents and made them pop.
Another issue I was struggling, which I had struggled with for years, was my art style. I love zoophobia and the potential it has, so much that I tried to work with the style. But it made me struggle with how my sona is structured in the face! It didn't look right or just looks scrunched up. I took a break from drawing for that Fandom and moved on to others like Welcome Home and Smiling Critters.
NOTE: The smiling critters a separate from the horror elements as it canonically has it's own show before the plushies in Playtime Co.
When I was drawing the characters that are more like plushies, dolls, or puppets I felt a lot better. When I gave up on making my style like zoophobia it just feels like it came more natural, like I'm not forcing it to work. Drawing like this felt more freeing for me and it made me happy. It left me feeling happier with the result, especially with the face!
So if you're struggling with your style or designing something don't try to force it. Just have fun with whatever style you want and you'll feel happier.
allllso not my normal content but this character has the same name as me irl (avalon) so i had to draw her hehe! she belongs to magpiied!

@archivemagic ! <3
This was gonna be part of a larger project years ago, but this is the only part I even started on.
Guess it counts now as vent art, of the frustration of being both sick and/or disabled and having to go through so many hoops just to get the care you know exists, with some of those hoops being financial in my case.
My first ever ArtFight drawing. This one is of @summer--starz’s feline Kibibi. I have a soft spot for maned lionesses, so I immediately jumped on drawing her.
[[Image Description: A headshot drawing of two characters. The character on the left is a lion with a thick mane and mustache. The character on the right is a donkey with large floppy ears. End of Description.]] Did a quick bit of concept art for Matonne’s potential parents. I’m pretty proud of how her lion dad turned out, but I’m still on the fence about her mother. I’m torn between making her a full donkey or a donkey-rabbit, and I might shorten her muzzle.

I’ve been watching a lot of Drawfee and The Lion Guard lately, so I was inspired to experiment with brushes by drawing Malka and his mother, who I’ve named Tafuta. The background I am not proud of, but the main drawing I quite like.
Will the lion eat her food? Or her? Seriously though, I wanted to post some of my artwork;so...here it is hehe😅 Also, "Hi, it's nice to meet y'all!"
hold the baby
I've been obsessed with doing this half transparent backgrounds since they're pretty minimum effort. Anyway, I've been meaning to draw this guy for a while and finally found the time.
