#lines in the sand

LIVE

Anyways, excited to fight Velkhana 2: Halloween Edition…

It’s been awhile since I posted any sketchy doodles

Stories 2 got me thinking about creature again

Hanging out at the shrine ruins

I was speaking to @ask-a-rathalos mod a while ago and they asked offhandedly what the meaning behind the “lines in the sand” tag that I use a lot is. In addition to raking parallel lines into sand for no real reason, Surah likes to (attempt to) draw monsters she’s seen. Her drawings appear to be crude glyphs scratched into walls and hard ground, which could possibly be mistaken for grimalkyne/felyne doodles to an untrained eye. Below are a few more examples (+ a self-portrait), and you can spot some in this old post too! Surah is actually secretly proud of her uh,, “art”.

[I would put a read more line here but Tungle kept destroying and glitching out my post whenever I did, so just,, pretend one is here ;<;]

Funny enough, the other day I ran into something similar in-game that I forgot about! Who is this mystery doodler… (I don’t have the observation camera yet leaf me alone)

And if you want to dig deeper, this was actually inspired by the poorly drawn monsters on my beach in Animal Crossing lol

Doodle of Surah finding a single bumblepumpkin because ‘tis the season

And some more; (and if you’re wondering, she ate it)

I know not why people are following this blog but also thank u,,

Dusted off my old art Twitter to try using again, handle is [@cactuscely] if you wanna see. Tumblr remains my fave and “main” posting site (I dislike Twitter’s rapid pace and word limit), so besides a few old scraps I missed, nothing will be posted exclusively over there, so don’t feel obligated to follow or look there. What’ll be posted there is some smaller doodles I’ve already posted here (like the ones found in the “lines in the sand tag”) and maybe some out of context ask art snippets. (I mostly just wanted to play along with a daily-for-a-month monhun draw challenge I was made aware of, and figured some might wanna see what I’ve set up. All from that will be posted here, just not daily/individually, because it would be a lot of posts).
