Silverlyte's A.R.T. Book

stupid, stupid, stupid

is what I've been saying to past me

for not learning how to use MS Paint's fucking CURVE TOOL

PRAISE BE TO THE CURVE TOOL

GOD DAMN I ALWAYS HATED HOW MY HANDS WERE SHAKY AF AND MY CURVES LOOKED LIKE FUCKING POTATOES

BUT NOW THAT I KNOW HOW TO USE THE CURVE TOOL IT'S SAVED MY FUCKING ASS

also I figured out that doubling the canvas size and making boundary lines lighter just generally makes stuff look better

so with this newfound technology in mind, I decided to try my hand at some art practice again

and you know what? I honestly don't think it's that bad

in fact, I'd dare say I've even leveled up from "the level barely above utter shit" to "I've definitely seen better, but I've also seen worse"

and of course, who better to feature in my first piece post-curve-tool-discovery than the two people who helped motivate me to start this whole non-AI-art thing

therefore I present to you in the most affectionate way possible: three fucking dumbasses

I replaced the electronic face mask with an electronic visor because holy shit art is hard

yes, the visor is supposed to be my version of Neru's cell phone, my hand is making it do the beeps

also yes I shoved my hand in my hair so I wouldn't have to draw it because hands are hard

ALSO SHUT UP, EARS DON'T EXIST, YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DRAW THEM

I subscribe to the Umamusume doctrine of art where every possible angle of visibility to ears is covered by hair

individual versions (with green screens because MS Paint is allergic to transparency for some fucking reason):

we're just three stupid dorks...that's why I chose to draw us as a Triple Baka lineup hehe
