Hailley, 28, she/her. (Mostly) traditional artist. I draw stuff sometimes and do other stuff other times.

Tiny Fearow painting to go with the Spearow from the other day. Shrug. Bird looks a little rough but the bg came out okay. (I tried scanning it but it actually looked worse than the photo.) #pokemonart

Maybe I should get into doing pet portraits. Made this one as a Christmas gift for friend (her dog is named after David Tennant). ((Also I feel embarrassed posting on social media but I'm trying to get over it))

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Also some WIPs for more Pokemon paintings

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Worked on a tiny Pokemon painting tonight. Spearow deserves to be sparkly and pastel sometimes, I think.

It's fall time bois let's go

Happy (kinda belated) autumnal equinox, everyone! I'm not allowing myself to buy a pumpkin until at least October, but I did doodle some

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Goofing around with ideas for Snow Whites and Sleeping Beautys (also goofing around with the idea of posting stuff semi-regularly even if it's all doodles/super loose).

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Does anyone else experience the phenomenon of thinking the thing you made looks decent so you post it, and as soon as you do, you realize it doesn't look good at all

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Theoretically I still exist and sometimes vaguely draw mermaid people at 1:00 am

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Super bummed to be missing TRG Colosseum this year. It's been a favorite part of the year since the first one in 2018. But real life takes precedence this time. Hopefully I can watch the VODs after it's over.

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

@mikakoyamaart Well it's working!

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

@AndilinArt The real reason is I'm usually too impatient to spend longer than that, even if it would make the piece look better lol

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

@AndilinArt Depending on the complexity and how many thumbnails I do first, probably like 3-5 hours.

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Due to poor time management (i.e. not starting until yesterday), I didn't finish the January birthstone faerie within the relevant month. But it's like 60-70% done so here's the WIP for Garnet:

An entire bed available and this is where he decided to sit.

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Here are photos of the options- beetle on the left, skimmer on the top right, and cotinga on the bottom right.

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Since folks said they like to see fantasy art- which I also like to make- I think I'm gonna do a birthstone fairy series. January's stone is garnet. Bc it's fun, let's do a poll for what winged animal the fairy should be based on! (see next tweet for reference photos)

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Thank you for the feedback! I guess I should do some more fantasy art.

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Question for my 81 followers- if I was to get my life together and actually draw and post art, what kind of stuff would you like to see? Just curious!

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

I think my 2022 game clearing goal will be 25 games, to double my current lifetime games-beaten total. That's 8 more than I beat in 2021. I started playing several this year that I didn't finish, so maybe I can put those on my list.

[PaperPennies @PaperPennies]

Folks in the @Proton_Jon fam are doing the game clearing thing, so here's mine (even tho I'm just a lurker lately).

I beat 17 games in 2021- up from 6 in 2020- which brings my life total to 25. Mostly very short games, but hey, whatever. I might still make a gamer of me yet.
