The Ugly Forkling!
...Now transformed into a dashing swan! Ladies — he's single too — and he has healed from his former emotional trauma and swears he won't be too clingy.

It's in reference to the children's story by Hans Christian Anderson

4 mini delegations left!
If you or a trusted friend have under 50 SP, I'm handing out month-long delegations of 50 SP just to help with limited Resource Credits.
Such a handsome forking fella..
Not handsome enough to switch sides tho🤣
He's been through so much though... Maybe cut him some slacks :D
I can FINALLY stop by your blog again. You were very nice to me on my anonymous
altmom's account I used for my Steem Monsters audition. I'm never on there but didn't feel right chatting with you on this acct I use most. Now that I've come out of the closet, so to speak since I made the revelation to my friends, I can stop by and say HI AGAIN! All caps to get your attention :)I really do like your artwork. Plus your rants! I said so before but will say so again, you should voice audition for Steem Monsters for the fun of it. When life is less busy, of course.
Nice to finally meet you @overkillcoin. I'm Paula. :)
Hi Paula! By now I have forgotten your original screen name... but I remember listening to your voice track and responding... I appreciate you stopping by!
It's been a crazy year work-wise (like usual) so it's either too much stress from over-working -- or from under-working... My creativity/Steem posts have taken a big hit as a result...
I seem to recall the voice tryouts being excessively long, it would be hard to do with my gravelly voice... I would have to try another approach.
Now that you're your own screen user again, I'll be able to recognize you :) Take care!!!
It was many months past. I don't expect you to remember the username or me, for that matter. I'm just glad to be able to stop by your blog again. You were very kind to listen to my terrible voice recording. :)
It is not easy being creative. I admire art and creativity since I don't have an ounce of it. My stick figures just don't cut it.
Some people do short readings for the audition; not the entire story. Many just audition for the fun of it and because they like the community. I'm sure there are characters out there that would fit a gravelly voice. I only tried out because I'm a fan of the community there. It brings people together, despite the different interests.
Take care as well! I hope life calms down somewhat so you can enjoy your passion. Not sure if that is Steem, but whatever it is that it may be. Stress-free is always best.
Edit: SM just came out with short quips for audition. Here is the link if ever interested!

Soon the U gly Forkling will turn into a very beautiful Swan that will lay us Golden eggs @overkillcoin ;)
That would be very funny and rewarding too :D
Ha! This is brilliant! Many kudos to you for both the creative concept and the excellent execution of this artwork! 😁
Thanks for having the forkitude to support my scribblies :D
This is the first time in a while that I've posted so much, 5 days in a row... I miss making crazy art and the Ugly Forkling was no exception.
I don't believe I've had a comment from you before, so I've followed you. :D
You have @saffisara to thank for my comment, because her resteeming this post is how I saw it! And I am glad she did, for it is a very clever piece! Thanks for the follow!
Your drawing is incredible! It is amazing how to achieve gestures on the face.
the female leg is very sad
hehe is a great story.
Thanks for your visit!!! I had fun on this drawing. I think it's extra fun to draw proud and conceited characters :) I want a pet fork-swan now :D
I hope you are very well, honey 😍 😘
heheehh, yes, you make a crazy face sometimes and I love them!
a duck and then a swan? It is not bad heheehhe.
One ugly duck is on a mans plate! Mmmm duck...

Another awesome drawing, nice job! Would be perfect for inktober as well!
Thanks Spencer!!! I'd really like to vectorize this one, but who has time fo dat??? :)
lol, I feel ya on there, I'm really bad at vector art and can only imagine how long that would take xD
I also hope that things improve at the level of economics because these prices lately many people have left the community and even other platforms
It's a real shame. I am very convinced if the price was at $8 or even $4, people would be a lot more content and active. The bear market brings out bad emotions, even self-pity for some, the feelings of being wronged, crazy thoughts, etc etc...
I still hope to post 1x or 2x a week minimum and I like to make the stupid art that cheers people's hearts :)
I like all these angry faces! And the good looking swan is using the best tooth paste :P
I want to know what tooth paste that swan is using, it's sparkly! :D
"Top Secret" :P
Ugly indeed yes I wouldn't trust him. Wonderful art though I enjoyed it
I hope you will find room in your heart for the ugly forkling :)
Splendid job you've been doing, the HF20 hasn't been easy really, but you're making impact on prospectives small accounts well done
4 spots left if you know anyone :D
Hahah ugly forkling! I really love the perfect contrast and facial expressions in your illustrations.
Right on once again.
HF-20 Swan mode is ready to go sell some luxury cars or host an infomercial. He's looking slick! :D
A fork never looked so dashing!
I hate it when my characters end up looking way better than I do!
Seems very entertaining! Two thumbs up for this!
