Tuki from Shantae (Patreon)

The designer of this character asked that I not credit them, so I won't! I did did partially draw it for them though since they like Tuki art. I've actually been wanting to draw Tuki for a while but I never did an honest attempt until earlier yesterday!

This may be part of a small series~

Why yesterday though?

The table I've been waiting on arrived with some unacceptable damage and it did qualify for free replacement/ return as long as I shipped the original back out within 30 days. It's over 100lbs combined between 2 packages so I opted for UPS to come pick it up, which was free. That and I don't know anyone here with a vehicle large enough to fit the 75lb 30 by 60 inch table top. The problem is that when they came the first time I didn't hear them knock so I got a notice telling me they were going to attempt a pick up two more times.

Well... there were other things scheduled for yesterday including a repair call for the dryer and a water damage assessment/ plumbing issue by the property manager. I was the only one here to open the door so I decided to cut some sleep and wait from 8am to 8pm for them to arrive. I went ahead and took the dinner tray I've been drawing on for a few months and I set myself up near the door to make sure I caught it all.

Did this in... uh... one sitting? Had some bio breaks in between buuuuuuut not having much else to do I decided now was a perfect time to try my hand at this character. Had fun by the way! I did like how it came out.

Caught all of the appointments too! Was tired af and I crashed hard but I did tend to the door like a good lil trooper.

Problem is that for whatever reason UPS only had one shipping label/ pickup order. This thing came in two packages and Amazon will charge twice if they don't get the full return (afaik). So I have to do this again to get the other part picked up depending on what amazon tells me. I'm still in the middle of a back and forth trying to explain to them what went on but ehhhhhhhhhhh that's what happened.

By the time I finished the drawing I was p cranky and passed the fuck out. I feel better now though. Drawing Tuki, rewatching Death Note after a decade, and waiting for the door. Not a bad day all things considered.
