Title: Stewardess
Date: November 3rd, 2024
Medium: digital drawing in FireAlpaca

fanart of the band Self's song Stewardess, off of their debut album Subliminal Plastic Motives. the artwork features a flight attendant with four arms, mirroring a compass, in reference to the song's line "Northeastern Southwest", a line that is repeated many times throughout the song. the attendant has a blank espression, with only her eyes being visible.

Title: Minimum Wage
Date: October 6th, 2024
Medium: digital drawing in FireAlpaca

a lineup of seven original characters i made, all of which are retail workers. from left to right, they are:
Chuck Marburg, a big, grumpy guy who mostly keeps to himself, preferring to handle the more physical tasks around the store.
Tack Kowalski, a tall girl who's worked at the store longer than anyone else. she isn't all that into the job itself, but it pays enough for her to not quit. she also knows pretty much everything about the job, and is tasked with training new hires whenever they're brought on.
Dymo Ratsford, a newer hire who's socially inept and really doesn't like talking with customers. unfortunately for him, he's stuck in retail because it's the only job he can reliably nail down. he usually ends up working opening shifts alongside Chuck, unloading new stock from the truck.
Lurk Davis, the manager trying to keep everyone and everything in order. she's cold, stern, and doesn't take no for an answer. she's a tough nut to crack when it comes to socializing, but she's a hard worker and definitely gets the most done out of everyone. (doesn't stop Tack from holding the fact that she's worked at the store longer than the manager over her head.)
Curie Marcel, an airheaded sales associate who tries to butter customers up with nice words and false promises in order to get more sales. unfortunately for both her and Lurk, this usually leads to unhappy return customers.
Lan Alessi, the newest hire of the bunch. she's constantly trying to prove her worth as an employee in the hopes of getting the praise and approval of her coworkers, which leads to severe burnout most of the time. she has a huge crush on Tack, but is way too socially inept to show that to her in a way she'd pick up on.
and finally, Dodge, a mysterious guy of unknown origin. no one, not even Tack or Lurk, knows where he came from. he just randomly showed up on the schedule one day, kicked ass at sales, and he's been a regular employee ever since. he calls himself Dodge, but that isn't his real name, and he refuses to divulge that information. he plays dumb for the most part, but there have been some hints he knows more than he lets on...

Title: Chell doodle
Date: October 1st, 2024
Medium: pencil drawing in sketchbook

Title: Pikmin Redesigns
Date: September 22nd, 2024
Medium: digital drawing in FireAlpaca

a digital drawing of three Pikmin from the Pikmin series of games. they are redesigned to emphasize their attributes moreso than their original designs. the red Pikmin is covered in thorns due to their increased damage value, and have a rose for a flower because of that. the yellow Pikmin are taller, have a wing-like membrane under their arms due to their high travel height, and have a dandelion for a flower. the blue Pikmin has frog-like eyes and feet, as well as having fins instead of arms. the fins are good for swimming, but not good for fighting. they have a water lily as their flower.
