The image filename/numbers are the user IDs on Kiwifarms, so you can always go to a profile like yours and substitute the digits there (the ones at the end), which will lead you to their profile.

In this case, it was the PFP from @White_N

Doing a reverse search on it reveals that it's from a game called "An Outcry".

Sam Hyde in Super Mario. Your Opinion?

He looks like the grandpa from Rugrats (this isn't a negative).

Are you participating in the challenges btw, or just posting your art? Because there's a separate thread for that.
 
Got caught up with other things and forgot about this challenge until I was going through images on my tablet and tried to remember why the fuck I have a screenshot of Connor Bible's avatar. Connor is one of our classic Halal cows and long time members will understand the references.
ScooterL's avatar also inspired me so they are inexplicably playing the role of Connor's mother.

Hello, missed me? :P
I tried doing the Kiwi Coloring Corner and uni at the same time and so I crashed and burned spectacularly. I definitely bit off more than I could chew but I really want to stick to this. Better late than never, right?
Encounter With a Spider.webp
Title: Encounter With a Spider
Medium: Krita
Description: Two brave kiwis come across a giant colorful spider while exploring a cave. It stands still... is it waiting for its prey to draw near, or is it friendly to the little birds?
Time Spent: A lot.
As I said in my other post, I got 16 and 7 as my rolls which I used to draw a spider with the Industrial Brandish palette. The spider is the most detailed part of the image, the rest is a bit rushed. Not only did I want to be done with this after so long, but Krita also ran out of memory because I had the dumb idea to draw this on a much larger canvas than I usually do. I still like it despite that, I don't usually draw something this complex and it didn't come out too bad.
Armless Alex.webp
Title: Armless Alex
Medium: Krita
Description: Holding this stuffed toy is known to be dangerous to one's psyche. Among its many unpleasant effects, it seems to imbue the owner with a profound hatred for arms.
Time Spent: 5 hours-ish?
This one is an armless doll of Alex Yiik, based off of our good friend Alex Hogendorp (AKA Lunar Eclipse Paradox) who looks like a fatter version of the game character and is an amputee fetishist. I don't usually go for a cell shaded style but after the previous drawing I wanted something simpler. The little moon emblem on the doll's shirt is based off of the lunacy sticker and the fact that the moon turns red during a lunar eclipse.
Phoenix Egg Animation Truncated.gif

Done with Krita, the original file has 215 frames and runs at a buttery smooth 60 fps, but KF doesn't like that so I had to remove most of the frames.
I couldn't decide whether the stripes' color looked better as black or as a fiery gradient so I chose both. This egg belongs to the phoenix I drew in the card challenge, and the stripes are meant to resemble a macaw's beak and face feathers.
As usual, feel free to critique or edit any of my entries if you want to. I hope to come back with the next three challenges.

It's a really nice spider! Kiwis also don't look half bad. I like the colours and the details, overall. The composition is something you can improve on in the future. Also, please, don't forget about shadows on the surfaces from objects and living things. I can tell it was fun to do as the the spirit of adventure is very on point.

(I wish I could give you my Krita brushes but it fucks them up sometimes during transfer).

Apologies for taking ages to reply but I wanted to make sure I had some more drawings to bring to the thread before bumping it.
You're right, my backgrounds could use some work, they're not something I draw often so I tend to phone them in when I do draw them, and I didn't even realize I didn't give the critters their shadows, I usually double check my drawings for stuff like that. But yeah, it was fun, I prefer traditional art to digital, but I can't be bothered to scan my drawings so I've been dabbling with Krita to hopefully improve on it.

Now onto my late deliveries, I'm just gonna ignore the fact that the thread died:
The Shape of You
Chosen Shapes.png
This didn't come out as horribly as I was expecting it given that I can't draw faces to save my life. I did these four shapes as I found them the easiest to translate into a finished drawing... Well actually I tried to do two more, I tried to turn the second shape in Oliver Onions' prompt into a marble statue's torso and the last shape into a smiling girl as others did, but I didn't have much success with them.

Ordinary to Extraordinary
Pen Dragons.png
(I don't know what Jersh did with the images but they're very small and I can't make them larger)
When I was a kid I liked to imagine that my pens were dragons, so I took inspiration from that and drew two pen dragons breathing glittery ink at each other and using the caps as helmets. I also got the idea for a tape holder snail and I couldn't decide which idea was better so I did both. The snail is meant to be further back than the pen dragons, I wanted to add a wooden table in the background for the sake of perspective but I scrapped the idea as it wasn't looking too great.
Coat of Arms
Lynx Shield Free.png Lynx Shield Flag.png
Instead of focusing on the shield itself I focused on what's around it, you could probably figure out where I'm from as I used my country's military flag as inspiration. I drew a lynx instead of a lion and the left tree branches are from an oak while the right branches are from an olive tree. Drawing the oak leaves was actually pretty challenging, the first time I drew their edges they were too exaggerated and ended up looking like English oaks, which weren't the type of oak I was aiming for.

The first version is called "Free" and it has basically no restrictions, while the second version is called "Flag" and it's an edit made to look more like actual heraldry, so it only uses the colors you typically see in flags (those being red, blue, yellow, green, black and white) and the linework is fully black.
Edit: spoilered some text to make the post shorter.
Only three challenges left, let's see if I can deliver them before Christmas.

Your party traverses through a dank cave system, the air around you thickens as the light from the torch held dimly casts a short veil of vision forward. While your group slowly navigates, you sense a strange presence nearby, the sensation of being watched grows. Rocks, drips of water and debris echoes from the tunnels ahead, you advise your companions to hold their position as you go further to investigate.

I know this prompt is long past, and that this thread is no longer, but I remembered this doodle. I hesitated to share it back then because I was unhappy with it.

Once there was a wizard known as Willoughby. This old mage was so lazy that he couldn't be bothered to do much of anything for himself. He enchanted a comb to brush his hair on command, a blanket that tucked into place when he left the bed, and even clothes which snapped from his closet to his body with a whistle. Perhaps one of his incantations went awry, or maybe the enchanted robes simply became fed up with Willoughby. Either way, they no longer came when called. In fact, they fled, leaving the wizard as naked as the day he was born. The robes continue to run to this very day, scorching all who dare attempt to wear them.

Thus is the tale of Willoughby the Listless Wizard, and of his Restless Robes.

(I had rolled for pallet #9, the dull rainbow, and for creature #18, enchanted armour.)

The thread is still alive if anyone wants to post submissions for the old challenges, if it picks up steam again I'll start creating new ones too.

OP hasn't been active since July sadly but a couple of us were/are(?) happy to keep it going if there's demand.

P.S. Nice submission
