Day # Ol6
Theme: Autumn

show spoilerhide spoiler

Comments: I didn’t have a super long time to spend on this autumnal mock up of a new OC I’ve been working on - I’m playing around with Procreate and the brushes offered and holy cow! This program is amazing! I didn’t know how much it would improve my ambition and my potential with such simple little things! Sorry for missing yesterday’s challenge - when depression hits, she hits hard! *insert Depression Kitty’s purr* (Big Mouth reference!) I was so exhausted from the drive to Montreal & back! I wanted to redo my artist card so hopefully I can sit down and scribble out a new version tomorrow before I work on day 0l7!

I’m also changing my username so I’ve tagged the picture with both usernames.

Day # Ol7
Theme: Previous theme Day OO2 // Rainbow

show spoilerhide spoiler

Comments: I didn’t have a lot of time today again, but I threw down some quick scribbles whee I was working from the bottom up playing around with the app I’m using! The female looks odd because she’s being subjected to forced perspective; I’ve been playing with anatomy and perspective for the past week and I’m really proud of the process I’ve been making!


Edit; I cleaned up the lines a bit and threw down some flats and some hair designs. I’ll come back to this in the future when I have a better grasp on certain techniques.

Day #: O2l
Theme: Gems


Stay Golden


“Stay golden,” you said,
a text to my phone late at night.
I had tried to convince you to sell me
something I could use to end my life.
You wouldn’t hand it over.

Instead, you lit your pipe and inhaled deeply,
peering at me over your thick rimmed glasses.
We both knew you weren’t smoking tobacco,
but you handed it to me regardless.

I drew in a large breath, held it and released
before asking one more time with a dark look in my eyes.
“Please sell it to me.”
“No,” was all you responded.
That was a month ago.

I watched the sun set lower on the horizon as I drove closer towards the place I last saw you,
orange skies lit up like jewels cresting the dark prairie landscape.
In twenty four hours, the whole world rumbled and cracked,
much like the nights small pearls fizzled and popped against the scratchy Brillo.

“Stay golden,” with my name attached at the end of the sentence.
Funny how something so precious a metal can turn into such a sour taste on one’s tongue.
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend,
but they’re wrong.
You were much more than a unsubstantiated gem.
You were pure gold.

Warned; Day 24 theme was used.
Solution: Pick a theme from Day 23 tomorrow.

Day 23
Theme: Confident


In so many ways, I was so confident.
I felt like I had the world on my shoulders, I know I could take it away for me.
Before long I realize that everything I had grown to believe as true was nothing but a forest identity give it to me the minute I opened my eyes on planet earth. To take somebody’s sense of self and misconstrue it and twist it into something and recognizable is the lowest form of human dignity one could possibly manage.

It took me 20 years to learn that the truth is only what we believe it to be,
that I could be anything I wanted to be,
and to know certainly in my own self to the point of knowing everything about the person I wanted to become.

I allowed myself to lose my entity,
I allowed for myself to lose the confidence that time after time I could rise.
I allowed myself these things because
The world disallowed me everything else.


Until confidence swept my hands from my face,
Threw my shoulders back in a warning pose,
And threw me to the wolves,
I had no idea the power it could bring me.

I am confident because I am me.
I am confident in the ideals I have set for myself.
I am confident in each day becoming a brand new chance to begin again,
because I am confident.

••••••••••••
I just can’t draw right now. I’m so sorry. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

Day 24
Theme: I wish I had


I wish I had a chance,
I wish I could write fate
I wish I wish i wish for something
To replace
I wish I could find peace
With all the things that I now hate
I wish I had a dream and a purpose to negate


I wish I had a thought,
I wish that I could care
About everyone and everything that leaves
My world bare
I wish I understood when the world spun me so wild
I wish I hadn’t given up the youth, my inner child

I wish I could go back and I wish I could replay
All the memories and lonely nights
I prayed to send away
I wish I had more introspect on where it is that I went wrong
I wish I could think original thoughts
And not just string them all alone

I wish the nights were long and the summers didn’t end
I wish I hadn’t lost myself in every brand new friend

I wish I could return to all the days I spent in vain
Warped and whirled, tossed and twirled
Where I didn’t have a name
I fought for every silence in the quells that’d dulled my mind
I wish I could remember all the lessons learned from time.



••••• formatting tonight, thanks for being patient and I’m so sorry. I can’t draw right now, there’s no motivation or calling for it to me right now, it’s hard

Day: 25
Theme: Poison


It takes a hold upon you,
silently sweeping into the nocturnal places in your mind.
Intoxicating sedation with a hint of unwarranted irony,
the poison takes control.

Lighting up the madness and eliciting untamed reactions,
the poison wears dark lipstick
chanting out my name,
whispering my secrets, she knows my claim to fame.

For she is a wicked mistress with a penchant for the war,
she tempted me to join her
with a deadly caress upon my heart.

I am my own destruction
and I know I play the game
I learned the rules and broke them too
every single damning day.

Oh how I love my poison
each kiss that she gives me
she will be my downfall
which I can’t wait to receive.  

[coquihalla]

Day: O26
theme: las Vegas


Sin City

Bright lights, small minds
Vices own the souls
Of each and every inhabitant
That crosses the desert whole.

The town it beckons laughing,
each virtue ripped in two,
morals and diversity
Conglomerate in cue.

I’ve been there once or twice now,
from too early to adult
the illuminating city
Grabbed and sold my soul.

Above our own decisions
We are all tempted by fate
To roll the dice precisely
And hope it lines up our way.

Before our great transgression
There was sand upon the land
The people and their vices
Sold the area to the damned.

So dance your devils careful,
Before you turn 21 years old.
For you won’t know the story
until your soul too is sold.



I am so sorry for the late submission, I’m in another time zone and competent messed this up.
I fly home tomorrow and should be back on my tablet sad eh life happens, won’t make this long buts it’s the only way I can contact the mods besides discord and I don’t have data or cell service here.

I am so sorry guys. Life is just
But this challenge means a lot.
It’s stability amongst the chaos.

Can’t wait to check in and see the art I’ve missed!
