quick fun sketch! i accidentally saved the full image with the colors and dithering i used for the background and i think i like it more than the original lmao

#crtm #wanted to do something really quick and yeah it was fun to do something low effort without putting pressure on myself #i also wanted to work on faces more so i kinda just looked at a lot of stuff that incase has done and tried my best to replicate that.#i really like how they draw bodies esp faces so yeah #oh and while i'm planning on doing some shallan stuff this isn't her this is a historical figure from one of my old campaigns

when i haven't decided on certain colors yet, i just grab a random place on the color wheel and use that, and sometimes they end up very funny

#crtm #creepy eyes post number 2!#im giving up on the morena one for now tho. i'll prolly post the unfinished version at some point #im just trying to belt something out as quickly as i can for practice #idk what real artists do. sketching? warmup drawings? what's that. i guess im trying to replicate that lol

diska just ended????

#crtm #dgmw i love following stories as they're developing and i'm excited for s4 or whatever but.#nothing's better than plowing through a story only to get the final arc as a dripfeed #i just started diska today...........#excited to see how it turns out tho i'm in love so far. i really love small town supernatural stuff. that was actually my first campaign #and the whole timeline thing seems really fun to do as a gm i'd love to steal that conceit for a campaign of my own #crossing my fingers the new season will be country/folk i think i would actually kill for that #even just country or folk on their own would be very fun #oh thoughts on pop/rock finale. i love a melancholic ambiguous ending and while i liked what was there it was a little too sappy #a little too. everything in its place. so i was somewhat sad we didn't get luke's original ending. but im still pretty satisfied overall #oh and the extra mini seasons i'll get around to eventually. personally i enjoy a gigantic story and i'll only listen to the smaller stuff #when i'm caught up and im desperate for more. thats how i always do it with podcasts #dont think i have any other thoughts for now. oh i guess the morena drawing. i'm struggling way too much with the hair #but i'll try working on the face and see how that goes. it might just be a wip forever

rejoice, jasnah kholin thirst trap be upon ye

#crtm #stormlight archive #stormlight fanart #jasnah kholin #for once i don't have much commentary except that i spent so much time drawing out bookshelves in the background only to lose them #i also tried dithering+color limiting a stock photo but i couldn't get the perspective right so i gave up

#crtm #i was trying my hand at backgrounds and welp! not anymore!#i'll redo the outfit design work but man. it didn't look that good but it's still incredibly frustrating #i've reached out to people who might know what to do cos everything i've tried hasn't worked

so unfortunately i am cursed with imagining-amvs-syndrome, but unless i somehow get medicated for adhd, i don't imagine ever even getting more than 1/3 through one, no matter how simple and low effort i aim for (i've tried). and i've been thinking of this one for about a week. you may ask, why this song? why these scenes? i don't know, they just seemed to fit (also i like virginia). so since it's probably never getting done, feel free to imagine it for yourself

youtube

So you don't get to be a saint (dead killers virginia) Martyrs never last this long (animalverse virginia in the basement) Guess I'll never be the one To defeat desire in song (lady luck close to the camera, teoth playing piano in the background. both backs turned to the camera)

Here's a marker (close up on stained glass virginia's face. one eye, nose, side of face) Here's my naked skin (no longer stained glass, her eye opens on "skin") Our exhibit A (zoom out, michael's back is to us, looking on virginia) Put a small X where I lost my way (close up on her left shoulder. "x" appears over her heart in time)

All the actors broke their legs (virginia dying to bones) And it's too late to postpone (christina dying to houses in motion) The producer's getting high (lady luck in the parlor of death, idly playing solitaire) And the audience went home (rock crew in the neutral milk hotel)

Smile and take your awkward bow (virginia in front of michael's house) Turn and stumble off the stage (virginia stabbing cecelia) Let the rain be your applause (harvey in the diner in memphis) And every encore soothe your rage (michael becoming a house. as the line ends, the house multiplies)

Squint with one eye Hum a show tune, (back of the car with the rock crew in it) Wait, for your ride to say (fortune teller) Oh, that's where you must have lost your way (the words appear on a fortune cecelia's holding)

Megaphones in helicopters squeal "Hey, are you okay?" (a megaphone and helicopter with a speech bubble) As searchlights circle Where we lost our way (virginia holding chili during the little lies fight)

All our accidents went purposeful and fell (christina flying into the inverted washington monument) Stripped of providence or any way to tell (harvey in the dark room) That our intentions were intangible and sweet (the heart of glass) Sick with simple math and shy discoveries (teoth virginia?) Piled up against our impending defeat (the city of dreams)

#crtm #ok did the math and it's basically 15 difficult frames and 11 easier frames #thats a lot more managable than i anticipated..... still don't expect it anytime soon as there's also text on the frames and video editing #on top of those frames.... but only 26!#Youtube

hilarious that the lady luck post is only now blowing up (by my meager standards. the most notes i ever got on art before recently was 300 notes on an animation that took like two months). but trying desperately to stay my hand from drawing more salacious beautiful fat women and instead focusing on other things

also @.all the people saying ''whats this from'' come on it's in the tags. just look at op's tags. am i the only one who does this?

#crtm #anyway jasnah kholin thirst trap..... i can picture it so clearly.................

#crtm #i kinda have to start from scratch #cos the pic i uploaded here is probably artifacted and it was scaled 8x sooooooooooo #no it would probably just be easier to clean up all the artifacts and go from there #i literally remember thinking ah i dont need to save this! my computer crash issues fixed when i replaced my ancient stock cooler!#hey at least tumblr autosaved the draft i was posting to this blog

self portrait(?)

#crtm #i coulda done more but i like it simple and it serves its purpose just fine #i did some detailed shading on the sweaters but i removed it cos it looks better this way actually #edit realised how much this looks like that one i did of virginia #it's completely unintentional lmao

brain is horribly bouncing between projects. i definitely want to draw some stormlight archives but first i have to finish the self portrait and then i really wanna draw that morena thing i've been planning. i'll get back to eidolon eventually....

#still haven't listened to the final episode cos i'm scared #but this is how i've always been. juggling 10 different projects none of them even remotely finished
