I've said it once, and I'll say it again-

HOW THE HECK ARE SOME OF YALL DRAWIN' THESE SILLIES TRADITIONALLY???

I've been doing nothing but digital art for a looooong while and GUYS-

When I was drawing Sun, I KID YOU NOT- I tried to zoom in like on digital, out of MUSCLE MEMORY.. I watched in horror as my pointer finger and thumb dragged across the paper in hopes of allowing me to see closer..

I had to pause and try and regain my mental health and breath from how long I laughed at myself istg

Just close ups under cut

[spookitordukeit]

Getting motivated to do the things you're supposed to love is so weird- like, I know I'm gonna have fun doing my hobbies, so why the hell am I procrastinating???

Like? The fuck you mean I procrastinated drawing Mer Sun by drawing Mer Sun??? Make that make sense??

Romance grew up as an only child to a poor family.

They lived on the streets, in the slum of the city. Hungry, poor, and exposed to the elements. It was only him, and his mother.

His father abandoned them before Romance was even born. A one time thing that had briefly evolved into something more, before the responsibility of parenthood scared him away.

His mother works in the red-light district, using river water to wash and the whatever spare money she can scrounge up to buy cheap makeup. Romance’s mother is beautiful, even malnourished and deprived of all basic necessities, she holds a beauty that draws people in like a moth to a flame.

It’s what keeps them from starving, what keeps them from being crushed completely under the cruel boot of the city.

Romance grows up learning about the ways of the red-light district. How to lure in customers, how to hide unwanted blemishes, how to simper and make a person feel special. He learns the ins and outs quickly, using the pretty face he inherited from his mother to his advantage and acquiring more and more higher paying patrons. Even earning a place in a brothel. A roof above his head.

Even if every encounter leaves him feeling more hollow than the last, even as the space in his chest aches for something more than just bodies pressed against bodies.

He has to, it’s all he knows.

He begins young, far too young, encouraged by his mother. He needs to earn his keep, especially since he was never supposed to exist anyways. He’s an unwanted burden, the least he can do is help to alleviate it. (Bad parent)

Men, women, it doesn’t matter. He knows how to charm them all. Knows just what to say, knows just when to lean in, knows exactly how to get them to pay him for the night. And pay him well.

But no matter how charming he is, no matter how well he does, or how much makeup he puts on— no one ever wants him for anything other than the night.

He’s been with more people than he could ever possibly hope to count, and has never received one ‘I love you’ that wasn’t hushed between gasps and sweat-dripped bodies. Not one flower that wasn’t a prelude to money being exchanged and clothes falling off.

There’s nothing he can offer besides his body, and the world knows it.

Every night alone is spent curled in a dark corner, hidden within sheets and away from prying eyes.

His body aches with a want deeper then carnal, sharper. A cold, numbing, wound that only ever seems to grow.

At the end of the day, his clients return to a home that’s warm. A home with family, with lovers. And Romance is always left with nothing but cooling sweet and silence that rings.

Why is he so unworthy of love? Why has the universe condemned to only ever being wanted, but never wanted?

Until one day, he’s offered a deal.

He’ll be loved by all, rejected by no one and forgotten by none. The only price? His soul.

Romance agrees, hands trembling with an ache so deep it echos with every beat of his wounded heart.

At first, it’s amazing. Clients who used to leave the moment the deed was done, now promise to leave everything behind just to stay with him for a few more moments.

People stop him in the street, at the market, by the river— everywhere he goes, people love him.

He’s given letters, flowers, expensive gifts— anything to please him.

It fills that hole in his chest, soothes that ache that never leaves. Warms him from the inside out.

But it’s— not right. Everyone finally loves him, but no body knows him. Half of them don’t even know his name.

A glance is all it takes for people to flock to him, gushing praise in hopes of winning his favor. But this isn’t what he wanted. There’s no soft feelings, no butterflies in his stomach. No romantic gestures or vows of till death do we part. No dreams for the future whispered to each-other in the dark while their hearts beat as one—

This isn’t love.

It’s obsession.

Disastrous????

DISASTER ON DEEZ NU—

[spookitordukeit]

@ponyjamas yes Chef 🫡

Mystery was 100% an outcast. No, I will not be taking any criticisms at this time. Let me cook.

His human form has milky white eyes, and he is completely blind. The reason he covers his eyes with his hair all the time is because he can only see with his demon eyes. And they can’t really let the fans see that.

He also has some scaring around his eyes, pink and silvery gashes.

His mother died in childbirth, and his father killed himself from grief, leaving him in the care of his lonely grandmother. The first of his life’s many misfortunes.

His grandmother is kind, even if the other villagers are not. Even when others make fun of his appearance and his impairment, his grandma is always there to rub his back and sing to him softly while he clings to her lap.

Until one day, a deadly illness suddenly befalls her, a sickness not even the villages best healer can save her from.

He is only five when he loses the only person in the whole world who ever showed him kindness.

I feel like he was declared as a ‘demon’ at a very young age due to the misfortunes that seem to follow him, along with his odd and often odd unsettling behavior. Refusing to speak to people, wandering off into the forest and coming back with odd trinkets. Once he was even found with a wolf walking calmly at his heels.

There was a time when a girl his age played with him, only once. It was before his grandma died, during a warm spring day that felt alive with possibilities.

The two were seen together the whole day, playing and laughing like normal children all the way up until a sudden storm rolled in and they were forced to return their respective homes.

They promised to play again the next day.

Only, the next day, the girl was nowhere to be found.

They searched endlessly, and it was only days latter that they found her body floating in the flooded river.

It wasn’t the first time something unfortunate had happened around him, and it wouldn’t be the last.

That was the last time anyone ever tried to play with him.

He’s different, strange. Abnormal.

He ends up being chased out by his village after being blamed for too many of their misfortunes. Marked as a plague set upon them by vengeful gods. (Think witch trials) He escapes into the forest after reciving wounds to his face, centered around his eyes.

Being blind, young, and lost in the wilderness isn’t easy, and he quickly begins to succumb to the elements.

That is, until, he hears a voice.

A voice that promises him the kindness of sight, if only he’ll offer his soul.

He takes the offering with both hands, greedily basking in the gift of sight. The thing that made him other for so long.

It’s painful at first. The world is bright and colorful. A mess of textures and patterns that make his head swim and his eyes ache. He spends days curled into a ball and clutching at his head, eyes squeezed shut against the painful world he once longed to see.

He grows sharp claws that slice into his skin when he forgets about them, and tusks that cut into his cheeks when he’s not careful. His skin that he’s only just gotten used to seeing, begins to take on a bluish purple hue, darkening at his hands and feet.

Eventually, he finds a rhythm. Days are spent sleeping, and nights are spent wandering for food village. The nights are muted, darkened and dulled by shadows and softened by the moon. It’s easier on his sensitive eyes.

He learns how to survive on his own pretty well, hunting small game with his bare hands and sniffing out which plants are probably edible. He’s surviving, for the most part.

But when he’s happened upon by a group of animal hunters, all they see is a wild, feral beast with inhuman features and glowing eyes. All they see is a demon.

They hunt him, capture him. They toss him in a cage and wheel him around as a spectacle from village to village. Hundreds pay to see him rip apart a boar nearly half his size with only his hands and fangs. To see his fabled, otherworldly eyes. His claws and tusks are feared and marveled. Masses pointing, screaming, jeering at him as he paces in his cage, chains rattling.

He snaps at anyone who gets close, growling and snarling at anyone who stares too long.

He is more beast then he ever was human.

When the people no longer pay to see him, when masses no longer travel far and wide, when the thrill of seeing a captured demon wears off— he is thrown in some cold, dark cell deep underground. Never to see the day, to see the world he sold his soul for.

Forgotten.

On ideas for the backgrounds of Saja Boys, I can’t get the thought of Abby being a gladiator out of my head—

Maybe he was sold into it by his father. Or maybe it was punishment for killing his father, a life of servitude to the ring. (I feel very strongly that he probably had an abusive dad) or maybe he was forced due to poverty. A last ditch attempt to make money for his family.

I feel that he had a mother, a father, and a little sister. And that he was extremely protective of both his mom and little sis. Definitely a mama’s boy. The father was abusive to all of them, but especially their mother. I don’t doubt that Abby regularly fought off his dad.

I can imagine Abby as a little boy, fists shaking at his sides and eyes narrowed with rage as he hears his dad land a blow to his mother. Gritting his teeth as he tries to listen to what mom said and not interfere— don’t make it worse. But then mom makes this wet, gasping sound as she hits the floor, and Abby launches himself at his dad. Little fists landing against his stomach and nails scratching at his skin as he yells with fury.

He’s easily thrown off, and the punishment he receives leaves his body pulsing for days.

Abby was probably hot tempered, but a sweetheart. Quick to anger, but just as quick to protect.

Either way, I can image Abby living his life in the fighting pit, constantly on edge for his next fight.

Day in and day out under the hot sun, body aching from wounds and skin slick from the sweat of the blazing heat and physical exertion. Dizzy from lack of proper food and water, sick with pain.

Hearing people cheer when he hits someone until they don’t get back up, until they stop moving. Feeling blood drip down his chin and sweat burn his eyes.

He ends up selling his soul to Gwi ma in exchange for the strength to win against anyone they threw at him. To never be weak and helpless ever again.

As long as he can keep winning, he can keep his family afloat. He can keep them alive…

Can’t stop thinking about this. Insane about it, actually.

Hey uh..heard you have trouble with hands..you mind if I info dump 👉👈 What was that? Yes?Ok sweet- thanks!

here's a page I did that shows some of the most basic "rules" I follow!

This line here shows a bit of what I do for arms, but you didn't seem to have much of a problem with those! Your drawings are amaztastic! (Amazing & fantastic XD) It also shows a cleaner look on how I draw thumbs (my personal favorite part of drawing hands) and fingers!

One on the left just shows what I envision when sketching the shape of the palm and base of the thumb, as well as shows the shape I follow when doing the fingers, I make the fingertips a bit larger then the middle of the finger, it creates a small slope.

One on the right gives another look on how I do thumbs if you want to practice :D a big thing I wanted to add was the ring finger and pinky finger! If you looked closely, there's a green arch connecting them, as well as bing a slightly different color. I did this to show that these two fingers seem to keep close to each other when doing or holding stuff, same with the pointer and middle finger, just not as close it seems. This is something I don't hear a lot of people talk about, but found helpful when I noticed it and was first learning hands!

This kinda shows that a little bit. Im definitely still learning myself tho heh..

This line shows what I use very often. This is the shape I use to draw the base, or I guess back of the palm.

Its an odd shape, so Im not sure how to properly describe it, but just make sure the more flat part of it is slanted a bit! And I also add a slight bump at the top, thats just the wrist bone showing. The top end is where I usually always place the first finger, this can always change due to position and direction of the center view, this is an almost side view!

Then, I make a few lines above the somewhat flat line of the sketched palm, those are the knuckles! I somewhat recently started adding these to help me with finger placement, and just found them to make the whole hand look better!Then, the next more important part- sketching the fingers, to first figure out placement, I just start with plain stick, nothing works better lol

The finger is made of three sticks, each one gets shorter the the first, and the middle has kinda the most swing or arch in it I think..

OoooooooooOOOooooOooook I think I'm finished! NOTE! Im still definitely an advanced beginner!!⬅️ So, sorry if I'm unknowingly steering you wrong! Everything I've learned is from viewing the world around me and references! Never be afraid to search up a photo of the pose your doing if you get stuck! Can't find the exact pose? Take a picture of you doing it, trust me, it's worth the embarrassment of doing it the first few times lol, I still have a few pictures in my gallery of just my hands because I couldn't find an exact reference photo 😅 Anyways, last tip: really notice the world around you, take silent note of how yours or a strangers hand looks in a certain position or how another person drew it, cause one day you might to need to remember what the pose looked like so you can draw it!

Hope I'm not wasting your time and you might have learned something from my shaky advice, don't be afraid to start learning how to draw hands, it'll get easier the more you try! And trust me.. there's not a feeling similar to the feeling of finally learning/understanding hands..

You made me a guide???🥺🥺

AAAAAAUUUUUUUGHHH THATS SO SWEET OF YOUUUUUUU!!!!!

I can’t believe you sat down and took time out of your day to make this I 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I do really appreciate the effort!!! Your art is fundabscrueatfody! (Fucking Wonderful, Absolutely Scrumptious, Eating For Days,)

Imma be real, the reason I suck at hands is because I got mad when I made Zero (0) progress after studying them for a month and I rage quit lol. I don’t know what it is, but hands and feet are the bane of my existence, along with any profile that isn’t full forward— you’d think after drawing for more than ten years (15-17, I think???) that I’d get the hang of it 🗿I’m just a little slow, unfortunately ✊😔

I mostly just do bust shots, or I find a way to conveniently hide them. I’ve studied the hand extensively, photos of my own in poses, looking online, watching other artists— the works. It is my fatal flaw (I am currrrrsed😔😔)

It’s gotta be something in my brain at this point. I’ve even tried tracing just to practice. No dice 🗿🗿🗿 I always joke to my mom that it’s just because hands are homophobic 😔💅✨

Anyway—

I think it’s hilarious that the thumb is your favorite, because I absolutely HATE that motherfucker. Why it gotta be special and shaped so differently?? Why does it need that stupid piece of webbing that stretches and moves??? Absolute pick me behavior tbh 😒😒 Middle fingers are also annoying imo, I always make them things too long… knuckles too. Despise those thangs. I be praying on they downfall 🙏

However!! I do really like drawing palms, those are pretty easy. Whenever I do decide to draw hands, I typically just draw the palm, the thumb, and a curved shape where the fingers would go. But like, without separating the into individual fingers, if that makes sense?? (I don’t have my sketchbook on meeeee aaawwwwwaaaaaaaa)

I love how ✨creachurrr✨ like your hands are!! Peak design, honestly. I’m biting those thangs. You made a very comprehensive guide!! I’ll definitely be using it whenever I do decide to give hands a shot again!! The color coding is very helpful to my easily distracted little brain lol

Whenever I do get this whole hands thing down, I will become unstoppable. No force of god not nature will be able to take me down—

K-pop Demon Hunters X Undertale Multiverse AU where the STARS are Dream(Zoey), Ink(Mira) and Blue(Rumi) and they have to fight against Pantheon, Nightmare(Jinu), Killer(Romance), Cross(Mystery), Horror(Abby), And Dust(Baby).

Idk who Gwi ma would be though…. A Gaster maybe?? I can’t really imagine anyone being in charge of Nightmare—

Had this thought before I went snork mimimimim a few days ago and just remembered to post.

Is this anything????

MORE LIKE GOBLIN’ DEEZ NUTZ—

[spookitordukeit]

So I’m sure y’all have heard about K-pop Demon Hunters by now, but I only discovered it’s existence last week. And in that week, I have watched it four times. This is a very big deal for me, considering I usually watch something once and then wait a year to watch it again.

I am utterly obsessed, I will not be able to recover from this.

(I will be watching it again tonight)

Your Idol has me in a goddamn chokehold I can’t—ghcfgvhvjbvhvhj absolutely insane, I’m unwell, actually. I fucking LOVE Baby Saja’s rapping and I feel ROBBED that there isn’t more of his sassy ass. Why didn’t we have a Baby VS Zoey rap battle???? CRIMINAL.

I need to see more Polytrix on my feed btw, also I need more of the Saja boys and Huntrix to be shipped together poly style in general.

Like— Jinu and Rumi have their established thing, but I feel like a lot of people forget the Jinu is a manipulative/selfish little fuck (affectionate), and I feel like the enemies to lovers between them should’ve been drawn out a little longer.

Rumi is all up in her head, under constant, crushing pressure and is terrified of anyone getting too close. Yeah, she has the girls, but she keeps even them at a safe distance. Jinu immediately sees that weakness, that insecurity, and fucking sinks his teeth in.

“You can tell me, I’ll understand. I’m the only who can.”

“You can’t even talk about your patterns.” Ect

I just feel like there’s SO much more potential there for a really good, satisfying enemies-to-lovers arc, more then what you can squeeze into a one hour movie.

I also really like Zoey and Mystery’s dynamic. The two of them are both a little feral, and I feel like they could mesh really well if given the chance. I’d love to see the two of them become partners, you KNOW she’d be walking that boy on a leash, the fans would probably love it.

There’s definitely a power dynamic between them, like yeah he’s the demon, but she’s the one keeping him from mauling the masses because they dare to get a little too close lol. I love them.

And despite Baby not really being explicitly paired with anyone, I feel like him and Zoey would pair well together. Baby feels like an aloof black cat, while Mystery feels like a goofy Doberman. I feel like Baby wouldn’t be super lovey dovey, but he can be affectionate when he wants to be. If your on his good side. (Baby is my favorite🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶)

The whole pink haired trio is pretty funny. Mira, who clearly isn’t used to do much attention, and Abby and Romance who are very clearly ready and willing to smother her in it. Whether it’s maliciously or affectionately is up for debate lol. I love the possibilities.

And the girls themselves have a cute little queerplatonic-poly situation already going on, which I’m living for. But I feel that it could definitely also be written as romantic with very little needing to be changed. Obsessed with the idea of Mira and Zoey already being a thing and this entire time they’ve being desperately trying to entice Rumi into joining them. But Rumi has been too in denial/oblivious/scared to join. Big fan of this idea, actually

All in all, there’s a lot to work with, and I’m utterly obsessed :3
