did some more warm-ups with Favata today, referencing fashion ad campaigns (labelled on the sketches!)
still trying to keep it loose(ish) and fun!
#artists on tumblr#oc#jjba oc#jojo oc#sketch#doodle#myart#these are so much fun to do man idk how else to explain it#like I'm combo learning AND drawing cool stuff at the same time#building that muscle memory databack (I hope) and also hoping doing these means I can be more experimental/playful with sketches!#(also I know train windows dont look like that..... I didn't use a ref for that aspect since I was adapting the pose to a scene in my head)#(for the fic im working on... heh)#it's all just practice anyway so I'm not holding it against myself too hardcore hahaha

did a lil warm-up skietch of Giorno last night while listening to the Vento Aureo soundtrack on spotify (which was also my sporadic ref for this lol)
idr the last time I drew him tbh... only time I can recall was when I did the 6 JoJo characters thing hahaha
#sketch#doodle#fanart#jjba fanart#giorno giovanna#artists on tumblr#myart#delete later#I will never forgive both Araki AND Eyes of Heaven for tossing aside the insane potential Giorno had#like... to have such a direct connection to both DIO AND Jonathan (the OG JoJo) and just.... barely touch on it???#absolutely baffling to me but at least there's some good fics about it :')#anyway this sketch is a bizarre (lol) amalgamation of my style and the Part 5 style cuz I kept glancing at the ref and trying to retain inf#also this was practice with a new brush cuz im unstoppable when it comes to trying brushes and it sucks lmfao#anyway back to the silly meme I'm redrawing with my Part 5 OCs lolol#(I should draw Giorno in my own style again tho... been too long... but also I wanna do other Part 5 characters that aren't la Squadra lol)

i'm so not used to doing "real" lineart with an inking brush, so it's a good idea I decided to do a composition with five (5) characters on it to practice, right? 8)
(I'm having fun with it though... being forced to be a bit less heavy-handed than usual because of the brush I'm using lmfao)
#oc#artists on tumblr#art wip#wip#jjba oc#delete later#throws me back to my RWBY days honestly... last time I consistently did 'real' lineart iirc#also I say “real” lineart -- I usually just use my sketch lines and erase and redraw until it looks good lolol v time consuming#(but I like how it looks without totally destroying the OG sketch vibe so... worth it imo)#even tho it was 100% unintentional I now draw favata's bangs with a touch of an Aeon Flux-esque flair hahaha#it was mostly cuz when my friend and I did the redesign we tried to avoid her looking too similar to Bruno#but I didn't wanna lose her original hair so I just... draw it a bit differently now - same style but floofier sides#slightly inspired too cuz I got a hime-style cut a while back and I have thick hair so it doesn't lay all nice and slim/flat#the side bangs love to just poof out when it's freshly washed xD#and Favata's always had thick hair (imo/HC) so... figured it worked hahaha

warmed up today by drawing The Doll for the first time :') (used a ref, naturally)
I love her sm, I just wanna hold her hand and like nap under a tree, fr (I wrote a fic a while back about basically that exact vibe lmfao)
#myart#fanart#bloodborne#sketch#doodle#artists on tumblr#art#maybe after this jojo resurgence arc im having maybe I'll indulge in Bloodborne again... still have that final ending to get....#I also wanna find the damn MOLE THING I have to see it once in my life... idc how rare it is T_T#had to stop myself from working on this too much tho cuz I did a warm-up yesterday that turned into a “warm-up”#(i.e; spent waaaayy too much time on it and now it's a whole thingTM)#in other news... really dislike the character limit on bluesky... I can't express myself properly urghhhh#especially cuz I feel like I have to tag it to get any exposure so that also takes up valuable word real estate dhfgdsjfg

lil on-paper draft of smth 8)
once again, massive shout-out to my friend Mag for all her help thus far with redesigning my Part 5 OC, Favata! simultaneously finally got me going bonkers over JoJo again, and also going wild with getting fashion refs >:)c
also posted on my bluesky, if u wanna like it there too or smth, haha
#myart#sketch#fanart#oc#doodle#art#artists on tumblr#jjba#wow... feels good to use that tag again after all this time lmfao#no one asked but when I watched Part 5 the first time round I didn't find the soundtrack that memorable honestly?#but when I listen to it *now* it def hits different... maybe because I'm doing fic and OC stuff on the side??? either way im not complainin#also couldn't mention it on the bluesky post cuz character limits are my kryptonite I stg#but there IS more to this sketch than just Favata and Risotto I promise lmfao - I actually tried to be ambitious#(they were just the only two in that sketch on paper that were either drawn or turned out at all... lol)

no one asked but sorry for the quiet stretch, art-wise!
currently melting my brain and frying my eyes trying to channel even a tenth of Araki's power (designs, etc) and redesigning one of my JoJo OCs with my friend :')
#delete later#i have a few WIPs I have atm from this month that I REALLY like... they're just not done enough for me to show x_x#and one of the ones I like I specifically don't want to post for reasons and it's like aaaa of COURSE lol#anyway i have to go stave off a headache I got from A) getting 4 hours of sleep and B) staring at fashion pics for like 6 hours straight#*runs off and plays Vamprie Survivors on a big TV to “take it easy” on the eyes*#how I have 20/20 vision according to the eye doctor is BEYOND me but im gonna try speedrunning ruining it anyway lmfao

happy goblin gorl
#myart#sketch#oc#doodle#art#artists on tumblr#a rare case of me haaaaating how this looks but my friends absolutely loving it so im trying to trust them on it instead lolol#I prefer the non-shaded one but my friend also preferred the shaded version..... wild how that works huh?#the brushes are great though! the texture on the shading brushes is super nice aaaaa#(they're CSP brushes by 'milkat' - 'Soft Chubby' for the lines and 'Beri Brush' for the shading!)

|| Dio Brando x OC || 9,137 words || wrote this yeaaars ago for a prompt/challenge my friend Mag sent me, but I'm only just now posting it because idc if it's cringe or weird... I still kinda like it and part of me wants to continue this sometime lmfao
#oc x canon#ao3 fanfic#fanfic#fanfiction#jjba#jjba au#jjba fanfic#dio brando x oc#my writing#shilling this while I have late-night confidence lmfao#i need to get over myself and this whole "it MUST be high-brow and very intelligent and thought-out' when it comes to fics bro#like it's okay to just write self-indulgent stuff without putting pressure on myself 24/7 to be 'great'... sheesh

was apparently so tired last night, I didn't realize I was sketching p much the exact same pose like, immediately adjacent to a 4-day old sketch dhfgjsdf
#sketch#doodle#original character#oc#art#artists on tumblr#myart#the sketch of favata on the left was... kind of a study of another runway dress? but I didn't get v far so it's hard to tell lol#i think I like this pencil brush but I think I only like it when working small tbth... looks “better” that way hahaha

u know when u start getting scared because a sketch has aspects u REALLY like... but u know how easily u can accidentally "ruin" it?
took a screenshot juuust in case that happens lmfao
also, friendly reminder I try to cross-post on bluesky if u wanna support me there too! would greatly appreciate it uwu
anyway, im enjoying Borderlands 3 so far, despite ppl seeming very mixed about it... tho it def takes a little time to adjust to 'Borderlands but with Call of Duty mechanics slapped on it' LOL
...despise what they did with inventory/shop menus though, holy moly... but other than that, lots of QoL stuff I like!
#delete later#sketch#fanart wip#doodle#artists on tumblr#art wip#no tags for me to ramble in over on bluesky so just wanna say... this came after an ATROCIOUS first sketch#sometimes it really DO be best to just scrap smth and start over huh#there's a lot weird or wrong with this sketch but I really really like some of the face??? like I think I got mouth proportions juust right#for once lmfao -- usually I just wing it and hope for the best but lacks good balance... I like this one tho#anyway im a very simple woman because Moxxi showed up and I started blushing and also lamenting the impending loss of my money#slot machines are evil and so is giving an option to tip the pretty lady because im WEAK WILLED and hfgjgdhf obligated#anyway... barely drew this month and I almost didn't today too but... forced myself to#even if this is the only sketch I manage at least it's *something* right?

this is all i've managed to sketch out in the past couple days... bleh
also this pencil brush I've gone back to using is great for sketching but reaaaaally bad for writing actual words, I'm realizing hahaha
#sketch#doodle#oc#original character#art#artists on tumblr#myart#honestly the text doesn't *really* matter cuz I have not sorted out much of the 'lore' for this whole thing like... at all lmfao#got a big document and yet most of it is still in my head because i try to write it down and I just blank x_x#I need to establish proper designs/palettes for these “main” characters lmfao only Vasya has an actual 'set' design atm... oops#im also just now realizing I wrote 'magic' in caps and did not continue the all caps thing...#I think I noticed how badly it was gonna write and then just forgot to change it#but yeah idk what the brush tip is all about but it has like a bit of a broken edge on it I think? so it makes writing or fine detail look#well... not great IMO (I'm not sketching very big at all tho tbf...)

nobody asked but Tales from the Borderlands so far has honestly been waaaay better than I expected??? when ppl say it's worth playing and has a good story, they weren't kidding fhgsdh
I hesitated for months on it because it's a Telltale game and I've never played one myself before, but I'm honestly having a great time despite on-the-clock decision-making stress :')
#delete later#kallo rambles#i wasn't expecting so many VAs I recognize to be in it too like ???? wild stuff#I have two more chapters left to go and then I can bounce back to BL2 and do the DLC#and then finally - FINALLY - see wtf Borderlands 3 is about cuz afaik ppl did not like it#but when it came out literally no one seemed to talk about it after like a week so like... could go either way IMO#have a lot of nostalgia for the first two games but Pre-Sequel was honestly pretty good too imo#trying not to set expectations too high for 3 though but we'll see! it'll be nice to play smth new in the Borderlands-verse#TftB is doing that rn while also throwing in familiar faces in a way that doesn't feel obnoxious which I appreciate

been a very long time since I last sketched this OC (2022 I think, and that was a redraw I did not finish), but was feeling nostalgic today hahaha
miss u, Ursula
#sketch#oc#original character#doodle#art#artists on tumblr#myart#also not me farting around with yet another pencil brush I dont normally use hshfgjgdf#had this one for a while and just... never actually used it afaik... i sorta like it but we'll see how long that lasts lmfao#not perfect but not trying to be - just wanted to scribble and mess around a bit today!#better than just... colour mixing scribbles to test brushes like I did last night :')#no one asked but Vasya's overall hair shape (the bangs I guess) were p much ripped straight from this#whose hair in-turn was loosely inspired by Cinder Fall from RWBY so... we have come full circle and then some fellas#we recycle in this house x)

was in a spooky mood the other day while reading about the Leshy in Slavic folklore, and since I have a fantasy setting very heavily inspired by the same area... we got this
also I 100% misremembered the name but kept the spelling cuz it makes it Different (TM)
#delete later#myart#sketch#doodle#not tagging this much cuz I should do a coloured version so the 'materials' its made from/resembles is like... obvious#instead of just vague scribbles lmfao#not necessarily the one single 'canon' version because the Leshy has like a tooon of diff variations because no one agrees on one depiction#which is valid - lots of deities are ambiguous or shapeshifting right?#I like the idea of it appearing in diff forms as well so this is just one of them#had a strong visual in my head of it blending right into a forest setting... like it's a giant#but u literally can't spot it unless it *wants* u to see it#i dont draw spooky stuff much cuz I don't think my art style fits it (and most of my ideas are all in writing and hard for me to draw)#but this was fun! I should dabble more often tbh... my current unnamed project has some great potential for like body horror#(the Veshy is part of that same project just fyi... hard to talk about when it has no working name atm)
