[hayesflint]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i wrote a teeni tiny 10k spicey one shot inspired by @hayesflint post uwu

[hayesflint]

WIP game ask! Would you share more about the Inktober lap dance piece? May I inquire about the reason for the asterisk too?

sure! its my next inktober prompt but im stuck on what to do with it exactly. i like both of these but i feel like i could do something, idk, better? more impactful?

honestly feel free to hmu with ideas or help me pick, lol. im leaning to the one on the right i think? (the more challenging one, naturally)

and the asterisk is just replacing a 'k' in possibly unnecessary censorship because i didnt feel like testing tumblrs flagging system

thanks for the ask!

[hayesflint]

as someone who cant even make a stick figure, i have, like, literally the dumbest question

when you say you “paint” (as in the kallzeb cover you just posted) are you painting on a canvas with paints and a brush? then upload?

or are you painting digitally? and if so, is there some kind of stylus you use? bc im assuming its not touch screen. but clearly i do not know.

🙃

thats a great question, yeah!

so the kalluzeb covers are digitally painted. i use a program called Krita and a wacom drawing tablet:

mines a very old school one haha, i got it back in 2014, but it has pressure and tilt sensitivity to replicate traditional painting very well. but the newer models are touch screen! you can get whole computers dedicated to touch screen digital painting now, its incredible.

i say painting because it refers to the style of art im making, and the techniques i use is the same is painting with real paints, as opposed to calling it an illustration or a drawing, which is a different style of artwork.

my screen will look something like this while im working

i do paintings with real brushes and paints sometimes! but i enjoy the flexibility of digital painting alot as well.

thanks for the ask! i hope this answers your question :)

[hayesflint]

yet another romance cover!

any excuse to make kal glossy, idk what you expect for me @thehonorableones

and now for a little artist dump: this has been such a fun little project, it really pushed my painting ability to its breaking point. i did this one in particular at least 3 times over, but using a painting reference really forced me to study how to achieve form and depth and push my colour choices. this one even as a whole background! yay!

inspo cover under the cut!

Carry for the WIP game ❤️

painting a sketch!! i love me some sneaky fulcrum smooches

i was using this piece as demonstration in my little lessons i have with sol, so it now counts as an educational work hehehehe

[hayesflint]

oh yeah, and i did this

as a treat

For the WIP tag: motorbike shibari :D Additional question, feel free to ignore: do you have any ideas about what colour palette you're going to use? And how do you decide on the colours, anyway? /not an artist, therefore very curious

hehehe based on this photoshoot, which i adorreee

hmm i havent thought about colour for this specific piece, but i do have some sort of method ive developed for paintings

i usually pick a primary colour first, and this is based off emotion, what i want the piece to say. you know, colour psychology. red invokes lust, passion, high energy, which is why i use red primarily in my inktober stuff. pale purples and pinks, on the other hand, are soft, romantic, safe, attraction, sweetness, so i used this as a base for alot of my warrior ch3 paintings.

i paint my local colours, usually on a multiply layer, over this base so that all my colours include some of my primary colour.

local colours are the base colour of everything with no light effects or anything. alot of my work is fanwork, so this is generally already decided for me. when it comes to my more 'original' work (lets use kals design from warrior) i still like choosing a main and basing everything around that. so here, everything is a shade of orange, just slightly warmer, brighter, darker etc

but also i think a big part of colours is lighting. all the colours get adjusted. i make the shadows colder and the light warmer, which creates a contrast in the painting. a visual example, if youll allow me

now each colour has a warm section and a cold section in the lit image here, and it makes all the colours marry together a bit more, and look more cohesive, like they actually exist together, which helps tie the colour palette together.

i hope this was interesting. i feel like im still winging my colours in most paintings, especially skin, but its fun to explore.

thanks for the ask!!
