there’s nothing wrong with overly self-indulgent shit like honestly

make that fuckin beauty and the beast au with your otp

draw your favorite character broken and bloody for no reason

make a self-insert that’s super important and powerful

write porn of that obscure ship centered entirely around your personal kinks

headcanon your faves as your sexuality, gender, etc

have fun man

i mean in the past i’ve made fun of all these things but i’ve grown up and chilled out and honestly? fiction is your platform to go nuts. have a great time. do what you want to

just respect other people’s boundaries and don’t go forcing your headcanons down other people’s throats, because they deserve to have a good time too

enjoy fiction however you want to and don’t let other people tell you how it’s supposed to be enjoyed

Spent an evening or two skitching up some references for Poppy and Alec, though it was honestly just an excuse to draw this, based on a drabble;

(Poppy in Alec’s clothes) Some of this was a struggle, i had to learn how to draw dude legs and,, other anatomy,,

Jess took a breath and walked a little closer to the bank. “Hello?” she called. “Is anyone there?”

Fabian’s steps were a lot more confident than Michael’s, but he followed him and Jess anyway. He really wasn’t sure what to expect.

There was a commotion inside the building, a clanking of metal and the scraping of chairs and stools. No-one came out of the building, but a voice travelled from the doorway. “Depends. Who’s there?”

Having a go at storyboards based on prose by myself and my friend Michael (as in, they wrote the italics bit up there c; )! Gotta get more practice at all kinds of sequential stuff,,

My characters (in the foreground!) are Alec and ,,, ,well ,, Jess (or Iris, for actual story context) and those in the background are Michael’s characters, Michael and Fabian!!

This is part 1, there’s more comin!!

I’ve been asked many times what someone should look for when trying to find a good artist. The best way you can do this is to look at their portfolio, whether it’s in a book at their shop or online. If they don’t have good work in their portfolio, they’re probably not good artists.

The shop may be clean, the people there might be nice, and the design they draw up for you might be exactly what you want, but if your artist doesn’t stand up to the points listed above, then you’re going to get a bad tattoo.

It’s okay to walk into a shop, talk with an artist for a while, and decide you don’t want a tattoo from them. Even if the artist has a bad attitude about it or tries to convince you to just let them do it, remember this is going to be on your body for the rest of your life.

peaky blinders inspired fashion choices, mostly drawn for practice but also because my friend Michael told me not to :3c 

Some excerpts from various conversations about it;

Michael of 1920s - ur. the wo r st Michael of 1920s - relaly nice art Michael of 1920s - but get out of my ho  use ✨Jeralt of Rivia✨ - is there a problem officer Michael of 1920s - M ANY PORBLEM 

✨Jeralt of Rivia ✨ - i was running with the narrative that poppy and alec are scary gangsters where shes the brains and hes the brawn but the matching outfits ruins the scariness ✨Jeralt of Rivia ✨ - they look like theyre having a goofy couples photoshoot ITman496 - now its just cute trick o treating ✨ Jeralt of Rivia ✨ - HAHAH i like that one
