Update thingle by Alkaline

My summer so far has been pretty dull, and as time moves on I'm just getting more stressed and restless so let's fix that.

I have decided to hold a few events maybe. We're doing a collab, yayyyyyy.
First let's get to how I'm doing the collab.
I am not setting a number of how much I can draw in one painting as details vary.
So who is eligable?
I'm probably only going to consider close friends and aquaintances. A lot of people here I feel when they do see this posts, come ravaging in like wild animals for free art. I am a person and a reserved one at that so if I don't know/ barely know you I probably won't include you in. (plus can't be going around pleasing people, I'll be run till I'm dead tired)
That being said, you can try and go for throwing in a comment I guess, I do look at them at least and tend to try to have an open mind.

Aside from that I'm going to place some limits on the kind of characters I like to see.
-Natural aesthetics are my jam and are easiest for me to work with without wanting to die, but some colorful characters may be aloud.
-Nothing overally saturated, or over complicated (e.g a character with too many colors, or overly detailed in patterns apparel etc. There's a fine line between details and how much your eyes and mind can handle. For this reason sometimes simple characters work best.)
-be mindful of sizes please, I am aware that characters come in all shapes, so don't give me godzilla to put next to thumbelina.

-no fandom characters, I'm not fond of them and I want to keep this piece mostly original.
-I ask there to be some kind of reference for the character.
-generally any creature/person is fine, I just can be picky about pallettes and outfits. :P I pretty proficient at anything but I'm familiar with dogs yeet.
-you can suggest more than one character but I'll probably stick to only o so many, space is limited
other things you might like to note.
-I don't know who I'm going to add for my characters yet, but you may suggest/vote on who you want to see in the crowd.
#Alkaocs, -I think most of them are in here.

I probably won't draw myself unless you all want to do a weird awkward sona thing lol. But hey that could work.

Also not that if you do decide to give me super saturated or overly complicated characters, just know that I may alter/simplify them a bit. This maybe true for normal characters as well, reason being I like to keep a color flow in my paintings bc the end result always looks nice. :P

-settings are N/A atm, depends on who and what I get.
-completion is iffy, I don't have a set date, hopefully before the summer is over tho.
And that's it for the collab, just give me your charas' tags as well as your gift tag.

And here is a pole thing I guess.
After this collab is done I'll probably be open to doing collaborations with other individual artists, though collabs are strickly friends only.

Ats as well, those are friends only, I've had problems in the past. I will also only take a few of those.
Adopts suggest on what you want to see! maybe just some plain creature designs or something more original like elvira or those cat frogs. :P

more suggestions or whatever, lore, rps idk whatever you say man.
just tell me what you'd like to see from me after this collab thing is done.

Ain't that the truth, people see a potential to have their characters drawn for free and they're like sharks who smell blood in the water

My brain is really tired, so is this like the collab where we both take turns, drawing our half? Or where you draw all/most of the characters posted to you

I suggest #BHYuki for both options, or idk, whomever. Malakai is also my doggo, #BHOCMalakai

Ohh this sounds fun!!! Im not sure who you'd want to draw, so I'm just going to plop this here: #SURef and you can pick and choose if you wish, :) I know some of my characters are kinda hard to draw haha.

As for the poll thing I'm up for the individual collabs, ats any of it! Haha I like the lore as well! Very interesting :)

And backing what blood said, it really is like that, everyone wants to just jump in and say "oh look! Free art!!!!" And then next thing you know your surrounded by people you don't know, very frustrating!

Re: ahh yess I have done that before, not too fun!

Re// Alright! Well I'll leave Yuki (Any form you want) and Malakai, if you choose to add me, good luck with your collab. I know how time consuming those can be. Make sure to have fun with it :D

Also hmm, I would be interested in doing the other collab versions. My half would just take a while, I need a new computer chair, mine is literally steel and hurts a lot to sit on

And now I'm rambling..

Also I enjoy rps with you, they've been quite fun

I know you said it was a suggestion, I'm just saying that if we do, do one. I feel the need to over explain myself xD

Ehh... I'm kinda nervous about commenting on this because I have no idea whether you consider me an acquaintance or not. XD I'll comment anyway, but feel free to disregard this if not. (I don't want to be one of 'those people'.)

Either of these two:

#RRCrowley
I'll give you the link to his DA ref too (he doesn't have one here) but you might not need it, since his design is very simple.
https://www.deviantart.com/radiantraindragon/art/Crowley-Ref-Spring-2018-741492982

Or #RRArmin (he has a simple ref, it's the 6th picture from the end)

Gift tag is #RadiantRaindragon

And about the poll thing - I always enjoy reading your lore, and I'm always interested in RPs, though my timezone means I can't often join them.

Hey hey, up for another? I'm not sure who but maybe I'll do #PalomillaDG or #LiolaDG/ #WolfrickDG

07 Jun, 2019, 8:48 pm

For that tasty poll, literally everything is great from you mannnn. I'll sit back and watch what others say bc I think they're all great. Just don't wear yourself out on them my man.( Ooh yeah, also another possible choice I yeet is #LavDG I believe his tag is???

Re// Lol no worries, I am a very very lazy person, so I know the feeling of not doing things, especially after a fair sized project. I can't wait to see how you'll flex your art skills xD

I get that, I don't know how people draw at anywhere but at a desk. I literally can't, it's almost painful to do it. I was talking to Shadow about how I have to be at a desk to draw and she can just draw anywhere, even in the car. IN THE CAR! I would die! I get so easily motion sick.

I know the feeling, life is so busy, I have an interview this weekend. So I might have two jobs soon, I hope so, but at the same time. It's gonna be so busy. But if this the last free summer of yours, I say have fun and enjoy it the best you can :D

Re// I could probably draw at a cafe or something, but in bed, on the couch or a moving vehicle = nope!

I suggest looking at minimum wage jobs. E.i. McDonald's or any other fast food restaurant. For jobs like graphic designers, they usually want someone who has experience or a College diploma in graphic design field.

Starting at the bottom up can really help and you're more likely to get a job that's typically for beginners. But regardless, I hope you can get the job you want, best of luck and stay confident! You can do it! You have my support~

Re// Ooh that's neat, I've never been on a campus, so I'm unfamiliar with work being available through it. Well I hope they consider you then, it would be awesome to experience that. I had wanted to be a graphic designer growing up, but decided against it.

I've worked in fast food before, it can be trying some days. There are customers and managers who act "Holier than thou" around you, like, they're above you. Leagues above you. But it's great experience, you learn how to tolerate these people/deal with them, it can teach you patience and how to not let the little things get under your skin.

At some point or another, we all have to deal with unpleasant people, might as well be getting paid to, eh? Lol, at least, that's how I think of it.

Age won't stop the pet names though, I still get called "dear, sweety, etc..." at 24 years old. It never really bothered me though. I like the pet names, even if someone is being condescending about it.

Yeah student jobs are great for that, but regular jobs are too. I knew quite a few people who went to work and University, just make sure to tell your potential employer you're a student. They'll usually work your hours around school.

hewwo i am here now
for big collab maybe peachy percy my moff or soraya or one of my cat froggos? you know froggocats but percy and sora are in #napoc sorry i only have big tag (oh or azzie my speculumfere hes orangey and in #nappez which is also gift tag)
collaborations sounds fun *zoomy eyes emoji* maybe sometime,, when less busy yes. art trades very good, adopts are always great and i love your more normal designs (woofs,,,) and your funky lads,,, froog cats and cowboy lizards (maybe more mantis bois? or owl/moths and caterpillar/squirrels),, lore is Good and i lov i crave the knowledge and the lore munchies,,, rps i like but i rarely do anymore oof you could do like little rp rooms maybe idk people might like it

damn i've never done a collab and you're one of my fav artists here and as much as i'd love to try it out my one and only developed oc hasn't been drawn in a couple of years and their design is so outdated so there's that

plus things going on irl

08 Jun, 2019, 2:14 pm

*swims in eagerly* What's this? Free art? BAAAABY SHAR---jk

#FGSkree is pretty natural in every physical way :D

As for your character/s to draw, I vote you draw Ev and Noth harassing everyone with their illusions and freaky magic
If that's too much to draw, then give us our baby Euta

Re: I couldn't tell X'D Just looked like a pretty blend of natural colors to me
Maybe that's what distracted me from it - I found it very pretty X'D

my brain is confused about those things on the bottom left of this, im not sure if theyre smiley faces or arrows

i think theyre arrows, but im so unsure loll they look like cute : > style smileys

*insert old el paso "why not both? girl*

anyway hmmm i dont wanna be a bother, asking to be in a collab, but if wont be too annoying for you could you put one of my pones in? marcus' is a perlino with exaggerated colors so he's natural i guess, raph's... not very natural, marissa's not (raph & marissa would be a grullo and a "strawberry" roan if given realistic coloring) jeger's coloring is exactly like a real fjord so he's natural /but/ im still working on his design. he's supposed to have gear wnd whatnot (he's a bounty hunter) but ive yet to draw it so rip.

if i ever manage to get my AT half with corndog done, id be down to do another AT with you if you wanted. the last AT we did was fun & i (still) /adore/ your half lol.

09 Jun, 2019, 12:02 am

^ i forgot to say on the part about jeger, id rather he not be in a collab til i get his design a little more finalized

i goofed

Krazy Katt111

09 Jun, 2019, 12:50 am

ah alrighty, i see! raph's who i'd want in then cause marc gets enough love lol

& im having fun with jeger, i love him so much lolol. the only thing i dont like about him is that he's a huge pain in the butt to shade in my styleee

10 Jun, 2019, 12:44 am

re- ooo, that's pretty cool!! ye, I tend to show more fandom characters here cuz i find them a bit easier to just finish. i do have more chara's that i've been meaning to draw here for awhile now... i don't mind if you put one of em' in there, i can make a ref for a non-fandom character if you want. But, you don't have to if you don't wanna.

FadingGlory

10 Jun, 2019, 2:57 am

Re: That's a lot of wordsssss
I'll test out stuff and see which character turns out best!
And I don't mind who you draw, even if it's the same ones again and again, so likewise, you pick and just have fun x) And take your time with it and don't worry about doing it too soon

re: oop no

your enthusiasm motivates me though

i can do a v late collab (by late i mean like a month later) once i get all school stuff done and i can have a small break to work on a new ref then we could try? i'd love to too but i'll need a lot of time hah

10 Jun, 2019, 7:11 pm

Also, thank you, I'm glad to hear improvement is noticeable! I've been taking the time to draw a bit more, so I'm happy to know it's paying off in good ways :P
