Mouth Girl Redraw

 5 Year Timeline here!!!

2020 The Crust Era

This is the earliest version of mouth girl. as an artist that had drawn inspo from artist Trevor Brown. Alot of body horror and Cryptid like things. so drawing a cute girl like this is what made the most sense. My Metal state was the most unstable compared to now. And I found comfort in the band death grips. one of their albums being year of the snitch

An Album with Mouths on it

During this time conceptual ideas were on the forefront of my mind. there is no real sense of real anatomy here. just something human enough. Very strange eyes and horrid facial anatomy. this pose does not help with how strange this character looks. But at the time I embodied so much anger I did not want to make pleasing art. this was not made for the sake of anything but myself. its so ugly and I think my Signature being "Crust" at the time embodies that. From the disturbing nature of this drawing. Crust has no positive connotation, Just filth.

It's when i see this is see how much Hate I had in me

2020 was not a fun time for anyone, I know. From what i had been suffering from compounded over the isolation. And It really shows here

2022 The 8ug3a7er Era

This is the 2nd Redraw. and i can very much see the anatomy studies from this. this is when I had actually put the most time into anatomy studies. while I know its still meant to be disturbing I think this was actually made to look pleasing. especially with the use of more interesting composition and color. At this time I took inspo from artist shintaro kago. a manga artist. While he does draw horror its body horror and its often comical and colorful

A Very Colorful Time 

I was a huge fan of Breakcore at the time and off alotta Vyvance this is possibly what made my art so condensed and colorful. I was so much more mentally healthy at that point also. to the point where art was more an extension of my creativity and not of my emotions. even at that time stepping away from instagram and alot of social media. other drawings of the time were alot of nature and nudity. I think that's just and extension of my sexuality and my feelings of freedom with that. being out in a farmhouse it was really nice out there

Watercolor!   

Since I have not gotten into my crosshatching shading style I think the use of watercolor for the shading really brings out the contrast. and the use of the red circle to frame the character looks really good. and I really like the dark dark blood drawing focus to the hands and mouth of the character. The body horror aspect of this drawing is pretty weak but it makes up for it in the good use of art fundamentals.

2025 The Lily Clove Era

I drew this yesterday! I really wanted to change the pose so I did. i think the side view is not very dynamic and kinda makes the character look weird and I know from another angle it would look better. I would say The color temperature and saturation is the same as the first but I think the line art, shading, and overall quality does not take away from the line work.

A more stable time. or boring.l

I Still have ambition, and Vision but I wish I had the same creative energy I did during 2020-24 it might be the art block talking but I'm just taking steps in finding a more cohesive style and brand. compared to how much original output I had before Its alot less compared to now. That's how bad my art block is right now I'M DOING THE BLOG EQUIVALENT OF A CLIP SHOW!!

Becoming Far more realistic

Looking at it now it looks far more like a shintaro kago drawing than when I was taking notes from his style. which is just from how much more realistic my style is becoming. alot of it is from using More human references and not drawing a ton straight from my mind. and my crosshatching style adds alot more contrast and does not really go into the more cartoonish style I once had.

Moving forward

I know from talking about my artblock and the 'Member berries type of speak about my creative output it seems like I'm really down in the dumps. But I'm not really. I think I'm at the strongest I've ever been. I'm far more versatile in stylizing and drawing. I'm far more comfortable with having larger gaps in between my projects. I have distanced myself alot from a social media oriented production schedule. Which I think is healthier and helps me hone in on my art direction. especially having this blog to do it on has helped me alot.
