Demon Slayer screencap redraws with these kids. I’m so hyped for the final arc to be released!

Quick Trevor Belmont screencap redraw sketch from Castlevania Netflix. I finished watching it last Friday, the animation was so fantastic! Though I wish season 4 could have 12 episodes but other than that I loved the show!

Do you think you could make a tutorial on how you made the gems in your Steven Universe background?

Here’s a quick thing I put together, I’m not great at in depth explaining so this tutorial assumes you have basic knowledge of layers and clipping groups and layer modes and all that mess.

HERE WE GO

If you need to grab a ref do so, but sketch a common shape of whateves of your choosing.

Grab your favorite inking brush or pen and get the outline going, thinner lines for the inside. Then kick your sketch layer to the curb. We don’t need it any longer.

Preserve the opacity of your ink layers and add colors if you want, maybe a few and blend them a bit for sparkle.

Make a new layer for your base color then just like your lines add a few likely colors and smudge things around blend them really nicely to your heart’s greatest desire.

Make another layer over everything but your inks and  set it to luminosity or what ever your program’s name for it is. Grab a marker brush or something painterly like and make highlights.

You can either use the same layer or make a new lumi layer, get a soft brush and make soft light shade within for that magical feeling. Adjust opacity as desired.

Make a multiply layer under your lumi layer and grab a painterly brush, maybe one with bristles/flat middle/ whatever you like and make a kinda broken/fractured effect inside with a darker color, do the same in one of your lumi layers or make a new one with the same brush and a lighter color, be sure to blend stuff around to make it look nice.

Add more highlights, preferably over the line work so more LUMI LAYERS. make sure your inner lines can be seen somehow.

This is the part where I switched programs (was using Sai) you can do this in Photoshop or whatever you have that enables custom brushes.

I’m using Clip Studio Paint now and here I discovered that it has a broken glass like brush, they are very easy to find for PS users as well and THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED you can make them all by hand if you want, I just added a few strokes on top of my half assed ones to make it look great. Make sure you do a little blending as well.

Add some nice glow behind the crystal and sparkles within the crystal.

Optional but maybe texture your light a bit with a texture brush of your choosing, add more sparkles and you’re done. 

I’m a bad teacher but this is how I make my crystals for the time being as I’m always finding new ways to do something better. But this is how I do it and you can always find your own way that works for you. c: Play around with your settings, do what works for you.

I had to draw more casual poses starting with Kana from a Persona 3 reincarnation fanfic I'm working on, she's Shinjiro's twin sister. The idea came to me after talking about it with some friends, they liked the idea of Shinjiro having a twin sister. At least he isn't alone in that timeline. I'm willingly to bet if he did have a twin sister in canon, he would be less colder, even my friends agreed on that.

I made some progress on the story.

Takaya wearing a shirt challenge. It baffles me that he doesn't bother covering up a little, I'm still playing Persona 3 Reload. I switched the audio to Japanese last month and it felt like a huge breath of fresh air. In the Japanese version the voice actors from the original Persona 3 were rehired.

His tattoos were difficult to draw so I had to simplify it.

Quick chibi doodle of my Stardew Valley farmer/OC. Just letting you know that Serena is Latina. I haven’t played Stardew Valley since lockdown but I enjoy listening to the OST while I drew her.

Chibi Chidori with chin length hair wearing Junpei’s hat. Still playing Persona 3 Reload made it halfway where Strega made their debut.

I finally got around to play Persona 3 Reload late last month! So far I love it, the only issues are the new English voice actors. I wish Yuri Lowenthal, Tara Platt, Michelle Ruff, Liam O’Brien and Grant George could have been rehired. But other than that I love the game! I drew Makoto Yuki/MC in bed with a smartphone next to his pillow! Reload still uses flip phones the game is still set in 2009.

Leamber chibi enjoying sea salt ice cream gift for @tambermizukiart

Now I want to try out some sea salt ice cream.

Sneak peek of the new D Gray Man OCs. No, they’re not dating.

The girl’s name is Serenity and the boy is Mika Suili, he’s Korean.

Honestly though, the Black Order uniform was very difficult to draw. Too much details.

I had to draw this after watching a SpongeBob video on YouTube. LMAO. I drew more chibis because it was more faster.

Before anyone asks, yes, my farmer, Serena cut her hair. My farmer romanced Sebby when I first played the game.

it’s rly bumming me out that i have to delete all my art from facebook and instagram because of meta’s fuck ass decision to train AI on all information posted… i worked hard to get followings on both platforms and it really is for nothing :(

[harukaphoenix]

Welp, I finally got around to draw my Stardew Valley farmer/OC. I named her Serena before she cut her hair. I had to draw her after seeing Stardew Valley on my feed. I haven’t played the game since quarantine. But I hope I’ll get around to play it not sure when.

Rosetta nui doll for a friend as a b-day gift. I haven’t drawn Rosetta in a long time so it was fun to draw her as a nui doll!

Rosetta is their OC.

Screenshot redraw from Aggretsuko episode 4 season 4. May started off stressful for me. I hope the rest of this month will better. Adulting can be very tough.

Anzu from Ensemble Stars for my friend @fairyprincessnene since today is their b-day and they like Ensemble Stars. I did more experimenting on 90s anime filter. I drew Anzu in a dress that I saw at Hot Topic last year.

Anzu has a little date.

Quick side note:

I'm not too familiar with Ensemble Stars. But I'll try to get around to it, I can't promise anything.

I did a little experiment on 90s anime filter. I haven't drawn any D Gray Man so I drew the one, Allen Walker. D Gray Man is so underrated.

I'll try to experiment more 90s anime filter in the future.
