took a stab at arcane style pearl and etho :J
this was supposed to be a quick(er) study but i ended up coloring it anyway !!! i personally prefer the original grayscale version over the colored ones (especially etho);;
#pearlescentmoon#ethoslab#hermitcraft#life series#this was fun!!! ive been having so much fun trying out new things#pearl definitely leans closer to cc!pearl but like . her face is right there and shes gorgeous why change anything#but i am also not a realism artist whatsoever so ... i tried pearl i love you#boo at my boring etho design#i need to think of a better mask design for him but head empty still#eydidraws#my art#mcyt#hc#trafficblr#also fun to paint again#i miss rendering ive just been doing flats

Tributes I doodled ( read: struggled to!! ) for a couple SPN Fam attending the San Francisco Con next month. Due to the endlesspostponements, they sadly lost loved ones in the midst of The Great Wait TM.

Watched arcane & wanted to draw this idiots on the beautiful nightmare of a style. My hand hurts.
#fanart#bsd#artist on tumblr#bungou stray dogs#文スト#dazai osamu#nakahara chuuya#soukoku#skk#I aint doing this again#the style is so beautiful but GOOD GOD#This the closest i can get to the style. it's good enough for me#Tried to use the facial features of the stage actors but i dont think it reads that well#oh well. I tried#This can be seen as realism practice#Can't believe the show possessed me to draw the homosexuals on the style instead of doing the actual wips i have for the skk children

OK this is an excuse for me to be a little pretentious/pedantic, but I figured others might also want the opportunity to be a little pretentious/pedantic, so I'm making a poll out of it!
My pretension: I like reading (duh!), and I'm OK with a little inaccuracy for the sake of artistry. I mean, there are definitely authors who never bother to google basic terminology in a field, or try to write convincing history (or fantasy) without actually knowing much history...but if an author I otherwise like gets a little detail wrong about some specialist thing, I'm not likely to even notice. Except! If the thing is about boats/sailing. Examples below, but first, the poll:
I'm sure there's some technical mistakes (especially related to boats I'm less used to, like tall ships) that still slip by me. But I've had a couple times recently (different books/authors) where I was reading and enjoying myself and was suddenly twitched out of the story by an inaccuracy. One book where someone was asked to secure the boom after a tack (on a nice 45-ft modern sloop) which already doesn't make a ton of sense, and then she moved to a strange place in the boat to apparently do this. Another where the author twice mixed up jibing and tacking in dialogue (on the lines of "Don't sail to close to the wind or you'll jibe!" At least once the speaker was supposed to be an expert sailor).
Anyway, I still enjoyed the books overall, but I noticed both times I literally had to stop reading a think for a second, like wait, was I imagining it wrong? No, it's the author's fault! So now I'm telling you all about it.
#there have also definitely been some fanfics set on boats where i just had to decide 'not for me!' and x out#(these were ofmd fanfic for the most part - never watched the show but did read some fic)#(i mean i didn't expect total realism but there was some stuff where i was like hm i don't think you even tried)#counter to these examples is dwj's book drowned ammet which i have reread over the years as i got more experienced at sailing#and it holds up every time

SubScorp Week 2023 - Day 5: Mortal Kombat Legends
"Such sloppy footwork, Sub-Zero. Get up and try again! Unless, that is, you'd rather stay down here..."
@subscorp-week
#gopher art#subscorpweek2023#mortal kombat#subscorp#mk subzero#kuai liang#mk scorpion#hanzo hasashi#so. i keep drawing kuai being bound with hanzo's chains. which probably says something.BUT YOU CANT PROVE ANYTHING#anyway. ive said before and ill say again that i LOVE their dynamic in the legends duology (snow blind is also *chefs kiss*#but i really dont deel like its meant to be a direct sequel to BOTR. just the little inconsistencies get me.idk)#but i dont think ive mentioned that i ADORE their designs too. they look so fun your honor. i do not and will never give a fuck about#costume realism in mk. i want them to look fun! and silly! and they do in legends!#tried to incorporate some of the actual botr style too btw. i dont think it worked super well but whatever. i still like it.theyre cute
