Since Origen has now rebranded into @Astralisgg , I decided that it was time to revisit all of my art throughout the two years of being a fan and compile it in a thread. Origen made me pick art back up and I improved a lot. Thanks for always loving my art 💙 #OGFamily
I'm surprised by this, but the first piece of art that I found was the original player select! https://twitter.com/SienAppelsien/status/1129135536843702272?s=20
These were made as sign and gift for Kold (and Wunder) when I went to Berlin for the first time ;w;

Kold even played the skin for me afterwards
I also made keychains! Later on I'd consider them a flop 😅
Of course Mithy also got his keychain... And I actually made more pixel art, it was going to become an animation too but it was way too ambitious so the animation can only be found in my thoughts
Some random pieces I made during summer... I couldn't draw Barney to save my life, what the heck, it was so bad
My first try at doing digital art in a long time. It was so bad... concept was nice but JUST LOOK AT THIS WTF (but dont look at Barney he was still bad)
Now this is where the emotes came in, I was pretty proud of them because I had never done this before. Sadly, Evil Patrik, Happy Kold and Mithyuwu are now lost in the void cause my nitro ran out and the og server deleted them
These two completed the original 6 emotes
And this is where I started to get serious about it all. This was made when Kold was announced to be sick and unable to participate in regionals... We all know what happened after that by now. I don't think he ever saw it.
By the way, I wasn't practiced in realistic art at all... I just winged it
Alphari was part of my halfway cancelled skintober protect, and I still COULD NOT DRAW HIM AT ALL
And this was the summer drawing that was only finished in november cause I spent way too long on my crappy digital art... it was old splyce, but Kold is included so im putting it here too
I was talking about my emotes, Guilhoto said 'fuck the new players, give me a captain andré emote, they can all wait' so yeah captain andré
And here is the new batch of emotes with the new players and Deficio as well (which I never finished before that... I actually never finished my xpeke and fr33 emotes, rip)
Christmas came by, and I decided to draw a bunch of my favourites in festive hats and stuff... and holy shit, barney's starting to look better
And here I immediately got barney utterly wrong again... but this was my first drawing of 2020 to cheer on the new roster!
Kold might've been on hiatus and out of Origen at that time, but I of course still made a birthday drawing for him. And I had something to celebrate too. I was a fan of Origen for exactly one year on that day. It was pure coincidence.
And then we went to Berlin, and I finally got to give this piece to Barney that I had worked on since November, right after I finished the one for Kold. Well, actually... I gave it to Linda because of the virus. It's a shame that I didnt get to give it in person.
And of course I had gifts for the whole team. This time they were stickers which turned out way nicer than the keychains in my opinion. I want to thank Linda for giving me some merch in return and having my jersey signed by the boys despite the virus being in the way.
And this is when shit went down. Lockdown started and I started to make art regularly. This was drawn because I had a Dio Brando reference on my sign for Alphari in Berlin. It was quite silly but it was the start of way more.
I tried a new style which was a mix of my regular style with more realistic shading... I hated it
It was time for playoffs, and of course it was my fave boy who repped Origen in the poster
And look at this, I finally made a piece for best boy Mitchell, which was long overdue
A rushed piece to cheer for Origen separatedly from the poster, I had to get this out in like a few hours so I couldn't do much
Origen got eliminated from playoffs on easter, this was both to celebrate easter and hopefully made some origen fans smile despite the loss
Barney was salty on stream so I just had to draw it... poor Maxlore
I'm asking you once again to look at this piece, I was so damn proud of it, I mean I dont draw backgrounds at all let alone sunset lighting. This took a whole week to make
I once made fun of barney showing his white socks and he said the sweatpants were too short. And my jersey was way too long. Astralis fix ur merch!
Oh the horror when I saw his buzzcut for the first time
And then Origen went on a boat trip and they all forgot to bring sunscreen... peanut brains
also holy shit that drawing of alphari looks so bad in my eyes now HELP
buzzcut alphari kinda reminded me of a delinquent... Barney Brando's return?
The og account actually asked me to do this (but I mainly did it to have an excuse to draw razork again ;w;)
And then it was big project time again. My 2020 player select. I should actually stop making player selects cause every time I made one they flopped in that split... https://twitter.com/SienAppelsien/status/1270379440489578498?s=20
Anyone remember when they beat G2 and Mitch smurfed on Lulu?
I actually forgot to post this but this was made before the player select, when they did that disastrous drawing on each other's backs video. I loved it.
🎶 We are the pirates, who don't do anything, we just stay at home and lie around 🎶
This dynamic was wild
When I left for camp, I felt like 10 days without art was long, so I drew little pieces for best boys, I even tried out a new style for Barney. Both of them loved it and wished me a good time at camp.
When I returned from camp, I resumed drawing by drawing these two (and razork)'s golden fantasy league poses.
The shocker game was great content, wish we had more of that throughout the year
And this is where the split ended, and I drew this to thank the boys despite the results not being what we wanted. I wanted to thank them for just being part of the team I loved. If the drawing looks a bit weird, its because I made it tiny, it fit in my hand.
In the meantime, I wanted to try digital art again, and I tried it out on our good old ex-player who was still on break, Kold. A few days later he'd suddenly return.
This was the biggest piece I made. Literally. It's an A3 with literally everyone on it. Even me, my friends, pietrik, odo, shadow and razork as cameos in the back. This time I actually finished my pool party drawing in summer.
And as said earlier... Kold returned. I was so shocked, I almost fell out of my chair, actually.
And to end this thread, it's this digital piece that I finished a bit more than a week ago. I really improved a lot compared to two years ago, Origen being one of my reasons. (I just HAD to get Barney right ONCE). There is still more to come! Thank you, Origen.
