waxy art thread

[ChunkOfWax]

Hello, I am ChunkOfWax. I am an artist and person who makes a bunch of things. This is my thread where I'll
be sharing all my icky and gross (fun and cool) crud and shit (artwork). I thought it'd be fun to
have a proper place to house my work :)

I've been doing art n' stuff since about 2021. I usually like to draw my own characters and sometimes draw other characters from media
that I like, but I almost always habitually end up drawing my own characters, who I'm sure you'll see plenty of in this thread (lol)

I'll be posting new stuff here as I make it, but maybe I'll share some old stuff here and there on occasion, for funsies, whenever I'm feelin nostalgic

Anyways, enough preamble...

"Z'orthelheb & Claire: Keep in Touch!" Box Art

Kicking off with something that's a bit older, I made this back in May of this year. It's a mockup for box art for a hypothetical DS game featuring my characters. This one was a lot of fun to make. My style has changed a bit in the time since this was made, but I still think it's pretty neat :)

Z&C: Bunny Ears

Finished another thing recently, was able to swing out of a tough art block with this one. Drew z&c again... Lots of new art style developments and shit in this. I'm real happy with it :))

Misc...

Old thingy I made a few weeks ago in an evening while I was working out of a block. Was fun to make, thought I'd include it in this thread too :)

Actually started on this several weeks ago. It's been sitting on my hard drive for a while, untouched, and its still way too much of a work in progress for me to want to share it on socials or anything like that, so I'm just gonna drop it here...

I think I will finish it in the near future! I just think I might finish it at a later date or something... perhaps to coincide with another project I've been poking at, but we will see...

Chainsaw Man (Jan 2023)

I don't have anything new to share today, but I'd thought I'd share this old drawing cause it's fun to look back on

I made this drawing in January of last year (22 months ago, wow!) I think this one is fun for me to look back on for two reasons. Firstly, if you were to compare the stuff I made prior to this drawing, you'd be able to see a really big and sudden jump in quality. My usage of texturing, lighting etc. just wasn't nearly as present in previous work as it is in this. In the moment, having such a huge jump in art style progression was really exciting lol

Secondly, I've barely drawn any fan art for anything since this. I've always had this weird thing where I find fan art soooo much harder to make than drawing my own original stuff. I get so much more nitpicky about details. When it comes to original stuff, my idea of what I want is already so obvious to me, I guess I just find it easier to execute on that. But, when I made this, it was during a several month period where I was almost exclusively drawing fanart for stuff. This one is def one of the better ones to come out during that time


pls ignore that Denji is missing part of his right arm

But yeah, looking back on this, I want to be more proactive about making fan art for the things that I like. When I'm able to do it, it's fun and it's a really satisfying way to celebrate the things that I like. I'm already trying to be better at it. I'm poking and working at some stuff rn, but I wanna be more consistent

Anyways, I included some bonus stuff below. Some of it is a little low res, sorry about that. Included an isolated background and foreground. Also a REALLY tiny and REALLY low quality gif of an animated version that I experimented with about a year ago or somethin. Enjoy :)
