<p>a silly doodle i decided to vectorize and flesh out. i just liked the expression a lot. being stuck in a vial sounds kind of scary, so i extrapolated off of that idea of anxiety to write the full text on either side.</p>watering2025-12-21T00:00:00Zhttps://swiftyshq.neocities.org/art/2d/watering/

<p>pencil sketch i vectorized. the water-drops were mostly an afterthought, acting as a way to fill space that ended up finding some unity with an overarching theme and color palette. finding out that you could do pattern fills really was a "oh shit, this thing has other colors!" type of experience. </p>
<p>the blue tone on black and white reminded me a lot of the color palette present in one of the areas of chicory (game), specifically sips river. the area has a lot of muted grays, blues, and greens that i absolutely adored in combination with the white and black uncolored-default look. very nice stark contrast that reminds me of the smell of rain.</p>CRITICAL ERROR!2025-12-21T00:00:00Zhttps://swiftyshq.neocities.org/art/2d/critical/

<p>a vector drawing inspired fairly directly by the rough artwork seen on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWwj-gk9E_E">emma essex's "failure" album</a> (under the 'renard' alias). extremely influential image that i've always wanted to take inspiration from, even when i was still a teenager. </p>
<p>one of the many benefits of being a bit older is that my skill level is closer to what my brain idealized in terms of style. i've always liked squeedgemonster's vector art (obviously!), so being able to experiment with things like line weight and shape language has been super fun. and inkscape doesn't crash as much as it used to. yay!</p>THE GABBERBEAST2025-12-18T00:00:00Zhttps://swiftyshq.neocities.org/art/2d/gabberbeast/

<p>a very clear influence from squeedgemonster's vector style, featuring a color palette acting as a callback to lapfox aliases such as negaren and TQBF. go figure. finally touching inkscape after a year or two meant that i had to re-orient myself with the ui, which has changed a bit since then. that said: it's more stable! yay! that's everything i could ever ask for, honestly.</p>everyone settle down2025-12-09T00:00:00Zhttps://swiftyshq.neocities.org/art/2d/settledown/

<p>mostly i wanted to toy with mixing oil pastels again. though one of these dogthings was drawn with an olive crayon instead, i guess. you wouldn't expect the difference to be that drastic, but crayon really does not glide in the same way oil pastel does thanks to the amount of wax it has. it also doesn't mix that well... sad! it's a great shade of green otherwise.</p>
