That's right, it's Old Art! I realized I never posted any of these here, and honestly, I still think all of these are nice, so here they are! The first two are from... December 2021 apparently? Only 9 days apart? I was really on a Bleble kick at the time, due to him being the target of someone who was doing free sketch requests and me wanting to get better at drawing him in the aftermath. The last one was from June of 2022.

The first one, of Bleble lounging, is the first thing I remember drawing and being proud of. It was a really involved process of drawing a sketch on paper then uploading it to my computer to draw over, but I think my sketches are done better and quicker on paper, and it really paid off. I should do something like that again at some point, really.
In the second one, I do think Bleble's scarf being a bubble is a fun variation that I wouldn't mind exploring again... I still like bubble foam scarf, but drawing bubbles are also fun. I do think in modern drawings of Bleble I could make the scarf "messier" again like it is in the first two pictures, with lots of bits floating off of it... It's a fun look.
...Oh huh, looking at the third one, I forgot I once thought of Bleble as Genderfluid. Funny to forget about that, although he feels more specifically transgender to me now. There was probably a time when he tried on the label for a while though. Anyway, besides that, although its very blurry so that I didn't have to worry too much about drawing a background, the third image does give an accurate sense of Bleble's living conditions. He's got himself set up in a nice, damp cave, with some furniture and everything. I really used that last picture to mess around with posing, since its a pretty complicated action, and I think I did a pretty good job for what my skill level was at the time! Still proud of it.
