Art
Art-art. The mostly flat kind. Not strictly 2D, but 2D adjacent. Mostly stationary. Possibly your granddaddy's idea of 'art'. Kinda. Quasi-2-dimensional self expression in visual form. I caveat because paintings can be dimensional and so can body art, and so is some of the weird mixed media stuff. Also, no offense if your granddaddy was DuChamp or something.

So I added detail, and ofc the light was changing, and he was moving, and he didn't perhaps know he was being drawn.

This was a hard fought battle for arguably not much. I really went through some dark nights of the soul trying to make this image into something. Why did it still come out so mediocre? Seems like it's taken a really long time but I'm still not convinced it's done.
But then again, sometimes you just need to leave things alone for a bit. Maybe someday, I'll see a direction to better this.
Honestly, I think my greatest frustration is that it's 2D CG and there was no ability to properly texture or layer in a corporeal way. I wanted to have some grit on this page, and it's just a shiny flat screen. Procreate's a great tool, but I want my hands dirty if I'm trying to make someone feel.
...hang on, that came out wrong.

I tried to make a color-and-texture-coded emotional timeline over a period of time.
Then redacted the actual 'event' content by blurring it.

Alright, Bill Cipher first appeared in Gravity falls on July 12, 2013, to my profound annoyance, because I'd never heard of Bill Cipher or Gravity falls until 2018, and I made this in 2014. Maybe he seeped into my unconscious through some subliminal exposure, but as far as I know, this dude emerged in my mind's eye all by himself when I was trying to design a new logo for our media company.
Anyway, we ended up not using him, because people thought he was disturbing. Nobody else mentioned Gravity Falls, either. That didn't happen for years.

Okay, so not THAT worried. Oh god, let's bring back some of that apex predator alpha male protein-swigging essence, cos you can't do a homie dirty giving him a torture hobbit tragi-face.
You know what's funny, I drew him sharp cos that's his psyche, but not actually his features - his features are quite round & smooth.

Caterina, Catherine & Catalina are the self-replicating copycat triplets, obviously.

WOW. Then I REALLY overcorrected and went full Joffrey.
This is a DISASTER. WTF AM I GOING TO DO?! I could undo, but let's tai chi this Bob Ross style! No going back! Only forward! The only way out is through! The darkest light is before the dawn! I can salvage this drawing!

Quality note
I've been doing this since 1990, but the earliest featured here is ca ~2004.
