#I drew some cute art in it and I look forward to sharing

Obsessed with the size difference between Hadley and Dale. Both in terms of height and weight. Hadley being only 4' 10' makes her husband look like a giant next to her.

lanky x stocky 💕💕

Have this sketch I did of them.

SKLDFJSLDFJSLKDFJSD I know, right?? Dimmadome x Leadly family genes, my beloved... They are plotting to open another business front that is definitely unrelated to the Dimmadome State Sport of money laundering.

They have such fun silhouettes and you captured that so well; thank you for this gift. They look soft... <3

Brotherly Princess

Summary: Kid Philip presents Kid Caleb with a very cute but also confusing drawing that he drew of them.

Original headcanon

Ao3 version

Enjoy!

There was no doubt that Philip Wittebane was the artist in the wooden household that only he and his brother lived in.

Whenever an idea that could be illustrated came to his mind, the small brunette would whip out his pen, find some parchment paper, usually located in his shared bedroom, and get to work on bringing his mental image to life.

One day, the youngest Wittebane was scribbling on parchment his latest idea that sprang into his mind earlier today as he finalized some key details in his artistic piece before placing his feathered pen down.

He took the time to gaze at his drawing, fully taking it in and admiring it.

A satisfied smile soon shined on his face as he quickly left his room to show his picture to Caleb, who he found crafting a carving at the dining room table.

"Hm?" Caleb hummed briefly, shifting his eyesight away from his soon-to-be sparrow carving.

He quickly noticed a rapidly wiggling piece of paper in his view and smiled when he saw Philip with an eager expression.

"Is that for me?" Caleb asked knowingly as Philip paused his rapid shaking of the paper to confirm his brother's question with two head nods.

The blonde set his carving knife and carving down and gladly took the gifted artwork.

"Thank you, Philip," he said, taking a look at the illustration.

Even though his smile remained, it was apparent that Caleb was confused about what he was staring at, his brows knitted.

In the drawing, Pip was drawn as a heroic knight in a fairytale wielding his sword, clearly meant to be his wooden one, high in the air as the noble steed he was on charged forward at full speed towards...

Caleb blinked twice.

Towards a fire-breathing kaiju-like dragon who had him, dressed as a princess, at least he assumed because of the long, puffy ball gown and crown he had on, in its clutches.

Now, Caleb's confusion mostly stemmed from the fact that he was sporting on a dress in the piece, but he did have to admit...

He looked quite pretty in a frock.

However, he would never actually wear one in real life...

Well, at least not in public, lest he'd be met with harsh judgment as well as a lashing or two.

"I absolutely love it, Pip," Caleb told Philip as he looked to him with an honest smile.

"Thank you again." He proceeded to ruffle the younger's short mop of hair. "You have such a big imagination," Caleb complimented wholeheartedly.

With blue eyes shining in delight at Caleb's praise, Philip excitedly bounced in place before pointing a finger at the front door.

The blonde gave a sheepish chuckle. "Uh, how's about we keep this drawing just between us, okay, Pip?"

For a brief moment, Philip's bright look faded some.

He pondered for a bit why Caleb would want him to keep his art a secret and not share it with others.

However, his smile shined wholly once more as he nodded nonetheless at his brother's request.

This earned him a non-nervous smile as well as another gentle ruffle of his hair. "Thank you."

Izuku Midoriya and you had a relationship unlike any other. What started as a chance encounter at a coffee shop had blossomed into something extraordinary. Your bond was built on mutual admiration, shared dreams, and a profound understanding of each other.

One weekend, Izuku surprised you with an invitation to an art gallery. As you wandered through the exhibition, you couldn't help but be amazed by his deep appreciation for the artwork. Izuku had a natural talent for understanding the emotions and stories behind the paintings, and he eagerly shared his insights with you.

happy late birthday to @ivys-thick-juicy-thighs 💕

IVxReader; pure fluff

IV couldn’t help but notice you staring up at him every few moments from across the couch, your brows pressed together and tongue just barely sticking out from your lips in concentration.

At first he thought you were glaring at him, but after the first couple times he realized you were just in complete focus of something. He just hadn’t figured out what yet. He leaned toward you, catching a glimpse of your notebook before you slammed it shut and pulled away.

He gasped and you knew you were caught, the fact causing you to let out an embarrassed groan.

“What was that?! Was that me?” IV nearly tackled you. “You were drawing me?”

Your face flushed scarlet as you tried to push him off you. “No! It absolutely was not.”

IV cuddled up to your neck, rubbing affectionately as he tried to wrench the notebook out of your hands.

“Quit it!” you yelped.

“Let me seeee, baby,” he whined.

You rolled your eyes at him and laughed. “IV! It’s not finished!”

“Please!” he whimpered.

“Oh, please, you sound pathetic!” you cackled.

IV stared into you with his icy blue eyes for a moment before pouncing on you, tickling along your ribs an an effort to distract you.

You couldn’t control the laughter, nearly in tears within seconds. You felt him smile against your neck, pressing soft kisses there while he tortured you.

“Ready to give up?”

“Never,” you laughed breathlessly.

You tried to take control and flip the two of you over, but IV was too fucking heavy.

You leaned in to nibble his ear, the ticklish gesture causing him to jolt upward and give you the advantage to roll him off of the couch. You laughed triumphantly, IV pouting all the while.

Your laughter stopped when you saw that in the midst of chaos, not only was your drawing on full display, but the sketchbook had opened up and there were now drawings of IV scattered everywhere all along the living room you shared.

IV and you made tense eye contact before you both dove toward the pile. He won, of course, cackling up at you from his spot on the floor while he held your drawings in his hands.

You groaned as IV began to go through them one by one, taking his time to really look at what you had been working on.

“Baby,” he murmured. “Baby.” Awe was evident in his tone, and it made you feel shy despite how long you two had been together.

You playfully kicked him in the shoulder, your face heating up in embarrassment.

“I can't believe you drew these! I didn’t even know you could draw like this.”

You smiled shyly at him and shrugged. “I’ve been practicing while you were touring.”

“You did a beautiful job, baby. I’m so proud of you,” he said sincerely, his eyes warm with affection. “I can't believe you drew me, of all people.”

“Who else?” you said seriously. His eyes on you made you nervous and you coughed. “I mean, you are pretty cute after all.”

“Oh, I’m cute?” He grinned, showing off his pretty teeth.

“Just a little.”

He rolled his eyes at you before looking at you sweetly. His smile made his eyes crinkle, causing your heart to squeeze. Your chest filled with warmth at the look he was giving you.

He grabbed your hand, rubbing the back of it with his thumb.

He leaned forward, pressing a sweet kiss onto your lips. “So…”

You quirked a brow.

“I think we need to go get you some more art supplies, yeah? How does that sound?”

He snorted out a laugh as your eyes got big and you immediately jumped up, reaching for your coat.

“You don’t have to tell me twice,” you told him playfully, dragging him up from the couch and kissing his cheek.

Real People

(Unedited Aeon Drabble)

Inspired by this art and this song.

"Sometimes, I don't feel real." Leon leaned back in the worn brown couch. His hand choked the neck of the bottle of wine they'd been sharing and balanced it on his knee.

His eyes had grown distant, lost somewhere she couldn't be. Ada reached out to gently extract the bottle from his grasp. The contents were mostly depleted anyway. He blinked away whatever thought plagued him when she took it.

"You look real to me," she said and tipped back the bottle to her lips.

"You know what I mean," he said. In his intoxicated state the words ran together in a cute way. But it was telling that his conviction seeped through. His brows drew together and he sank deeper into the seat.

The sad truth was that she did know what he meant. Real people didn't do what they did.

The two of them hid the truth from the world in the dark with the monsters. She'd been at it so long that she'd forgotten what the light felt like. Leon, on the other hand, was so close he could touch the warm rays of sun but never walk into it.

She wondered which was worse. To never know what it is to be free of monsters, or to have peace only for it to be taken away. The thought made her head hurt, or maybe that was the wine.

Ada leaned over the settee and picked up another wine bottle from the abandoned crate. The dust whipped into the air and made her sneeze.

"Bless you," Leon said and reached out his hand for the wine.

"Thanks. I got this one." She fumbled the corkscrew and worked to open the bottle. It proved harder with every bottle they finished. The cork came out with a loud pop and she held it to allow the contents to breathe.

They sat in silence with empty heads and warm chests filled with libations. She eyed their holsters and weapons that they'd taken off in a truce, a gentle reprieve after a long mission.

"I'm tired," she said. She was tired in the way an old dog was tired, and in Leon's soft laugh she heard it too.

"I've been saying that for years." He reached for the bottle and she pulled it away.

"Not yet," she said. He fixed his eyes on her as if willing her to give it to him anyway. When she didn't, Leon attempted to stand but merely slid down the seat and onto the floor in front of the couch.

Ada laughed from the fumble. Once she started she couldn't stop. Leon's shocked face kept her laughing. She held her stomach and leaned forward in a fit. He sat silent and still on the dusty floor as she calmed.

"Leon, where is your shirt?" She attempted to contain her amusement but felt it slip out anyway.

He peered down at his exposed chest beneath his brown leather jacket and began to laugh himself.

"I don't know." His laughter as boisterous as her own rattled around inside the run down building.

She'd never heard such a genuine laugh from him. She stamped down the part of her that said she'd kept him from it. Ada took a long drink of wine and held up the bottle for Leon to see.

"Want some?" She slurred. His hand fell when Ada stood up and moved to the couch beside him.

"What are you going to do? Pour it in my mouth?"

"Lean back then." Ada held up the bottle and watched a lazy smile form on Leon's beautiful lips. He obediently leaned his head back against her lap and opened his mouth like a baby bird.

Ada tipped the bottle over to pour a steady stream of red wine into his mouth. They barely contained their laughter as her intoxicated state failed her, and a trickle of wine slid down the side of his face and down his neck. She righted the bottle and waited for him to swallow.

"Your aim needs work," he laughed. The more he laughed the more she laughed. They were like children before the world left them bruised and weary.

How many didn't even have a chance to feel that? Long gone like the city in the mountains. Ghosts that haunted them, some cherished allies and some forgotten foes.

It was a little break, a small breath until the next thing. But the next thing didn't matter right now. Just the comfort of another and the warmth of alcohol.

"Ada?" Leon lifted an arm to run his thumb along her cheek. He pulled away with damp fingers and a concerned expression. She ran a hand through his light hair and brushed it further out of his face.

And he remained still for her. She found herself bold enough to run her fingers through it and gently brush his cheek. Wine made his skin sticky. His handsome face flushed in the dim light.

Ada leaned down to tenderly press her lips against his. He softened to her and allowed her to do what she wanted. His fingers slid into her hair, and he groaned when she coaxed his lips apart.

Leon's mouth was hot and tasted of shared wine by firelight. He became more assured and pressed her head down to take her deeper, tongue her soft palette as if she were sweeter than wine.

He kissed like a man enraptured with the spoils of life. She kissed like it were her last.

Ada cupped his face as she pulled away. His warm breath brushed against her skin. His hooded blue's gazed back. If she allowed herself to feel like this more often, would it be easier to put into words how his presence made her ache?

"I feel real," Ada said.

"Me too," Leon replied.

Heyo! This might be long but I wanted to share my appreciation for the comics and characters you've made😁 I stumbled upon a couple of your characters a while ago and I found their kinky situations cute and interesting. I finally had enough free time this past weekend to sit down and finally get all caught up on the series and wow that was very fun! Your art style was very appealing throughout. You can really make your guys cute/handsome with unique personalities to boot! I had a great time reading it all.

I have to say, I really liked Cole, especially as the relationship between him and Token escalated. And yes, I know, *wags finger* "naughty cole. Toxic boy" but sometimes those characters are just so interesting to see and I really wasn't expecting to like him as much as I did😅 I can't wait to hear/see more of him if he makes a return. Alongside that, I really loved Token's character design. I don't know how you managed to capture his big personality so well in his appearance but you did it and I just loved reading every chapter he was in! Sebastian's punishment is what made me blush and drew me in in the first place and now I'm extremely interested in how this turns out for the big guy. We got to see a lot of him in stolen tastes but I feel that's just the surface and I'm looking forward to chapter 2 of Dristrict 96! Finally, I really enjoyed the different relationships you explored throughout. It's very nice to see loving ones right next to the toxic ones. I certainly like reading me some toxic kinky relationships but as a fat woman myself, it's really nice to also read respectful, wholesome stories between two people.

Haha, hope that wasn't too much but I wanted to share while it was fresh on my mind. You've put in so much hard work into this series and it really shines through! Thanks so much for sharing this with everyone. It certainly improved my days and I look forward to any art in the future!🥰

Hey, hey, I love Cole too. In a 'I hate you so fucking much I never wanna meet you IRL you warped man' kinda way lol. He's really hard to get my head into so the challenge is fun >:0 (And yes, he will be returning~)

Yes with Seb as well. His story along with those in it was pretty surface level stuff. I can't wait to explore him more x)

You gotta have that balance though, comforting love, toxic 'romance', deep friendships, the rivals- I need all the flavors >:0 !!

Stick around and find out what I've got planned, thank you for all your kind words and thoughts! I'm not stopping anytime soon c:<

Father-Son Bonding WIP

finally got around to starting my entry for my hoyo-friends DTIYS event! :D

btw their name is @KinohCanYouNot , please go check them out and mb drop a follow too! they post some very cute art of several genshin couples and their oc kiddos, as well as their lore. the one i drew is Cynaris son Ori.

when i saw their DTIYS announcement for him, at first i thought ooh i should draw Ori wearing Cynos head-piece, thatd be cool! but then recalled a Collei fanart i saw of the same concept and figured thatd be too similar. then i randomly remembered this cute tumblr post abt a father sharing his tcg hobby w his daughter and it all just clicked into place ^^

im really looking forward to finishing this, hopefully tonight when i get off work :3

sidenote: i should really invest in a ruler, having to use random boxes or folded paper to make straight lines is a bit annoying =w=

[magicalyaku]

I read one of the worst books this year in September and easily the best one in October. Let's start at the top and work our way down! :D

Prince of Fortune (Lisa Tirreno): This is everything I want in my books. 11 out of 10. Perfection. It's soo cute. The characters are so nice, Aubrey is so capable (I really didn't realize how much I am in awe of characters who have simply learned their skills and are using them confidently). Love stories in times of war are usually terrible for my heart (the suffering and fear something might happen to the characters!), but this story managed to not break me not pieces, my heart was just melting the entire time of cuteness and shit. Pretty sure I started smiling from page one and maybe never stopped. The bonds between the family members and friends are nice and the magic and the whole plot works well. Must be one of the few instances where I actually liked the marriage sub-plot (Aubrey's initial reaction was the best). Also no smutty scenes in here, rather the leadup to the fade to black had me squealing (because cute). Highly recommended.

Legend of the White Snake (Sher Lee): Another good one! Not quite the level of Prince of Fortune, but I enjoyed this one as well. I really liked how the author just had to share alle the cool snake facts she knows. xD But also about Chinese history and culture. She (correctly) assumed her readers wouldn't know, so she just explained the important stuff, be it about shrines or garments. Or cultivation. I encountered cultivation before, in the various summaries of Chinese light novels and never understood what it was (because I only read the summaries duh), but it's everywhere! I naively assumed it wouldn't be in here, though, because it's for the Amerian market or something and literally two pages later they started talking about it. xD But it was fine, I finally know now, right. It's a very solid and charming story with just the right amount of everything. Also, another capable young man. /D

Sorcery and Small Magics (Maiga Doocy): Aaand another good one! Three in an row! Nope, this time the main character is not capable. The opposite actually, but he's fun and it's nice to have a slightly diffent type once in while. (He is capable in his own way, though). I had a rough time not reading him as Avra from Runnning Close to the Wind, because they share some qualities. And I completely misjudged the characters ages going into this, thought they'd much older when they're only students. So I had to do some adjusting in my head. :'D It's a fun and vibrant story with an interesting magic concept. Lots of adventure, a very slow romance (which is good), and a really good showdown (love it when things work out like that)! I'm looking forward to the sequel! :)

The Boy who Steals Houses (C.G. Drews): It took me a whole week to get through the 170 pages of Saint Sorrow Sinner (look below) and that was with a 12-hour flight inbetween. Afterwards, I picked up this one and read its 360 pages within five or six hours. That is the difference in quality. I had my sights on the author's new book Don't let the Forest in but was unsure whether I wanted to buy or borrow it, so I picked up the author's previous work. And boy, it is good. There is a little romance, but it's much more about family standing up for each other. I found striking how well it is written even in the long passages when the protagonist is all by himself with no dialogue. Very emotional stuff. Pretty sure, I shed a tear or two towards the end.

A Tale of Two Knights (James Persichetti (Story), L.S. Biehler (art)): I don't usually include the graphic novels that I read, because then why not include manga as well and then we'd never finish. I have things to say about this one, though. Mainly, it's fine as a comic but I think it would have profited from being a novel. There's just not enough time and depth in the early journey. The latter half with the action was fine but the development of the love story is pretty lacking. Cute, yes, still lacking. It's also a bit odd how the title is about the two men, when a lot of (rightful) focus is given to Morgan. In a (well-written) novel, there would have been a lot of possibilities to expand on this. The character art is a little wonky sometimes. Some panels look really good, others are a bit off. I found it very strange that the party does not carry any luggage at all after they give away their horses. Where do you even hide your canteens? Who decided that this is fine and people on a critical mission can continue on without anything? What I really liked, however, was the color schemes. The different places and daytimes are very pretty in their lighting and coloring. All in all, it was fine. Buut I wish it had been more.

When Haru was here (Dustin Thao): I bought the German edition of You've reached Sam and read like 20 pages of it before I put away again because I was not feeling up to it. But when this one came out I had just read two books in a row about depression and grief and was like "What's one more?" It was okayish. Halfway through, I was very frustrated and annoyed, not necessarily with Eric himself but all people around him were just assholes, even Haru, telling him what to do and what not. It redeemed itself towards the end, though, so it was fine.

Saint Sorrow Sinner (The Gideon Testaments 3) (Freydís Moon): This one is not pictured, because we do not support the author here. They had some scandal regarding faking their identity (again) earlier this year, so if you want to know, go look it up, it'll be easy enough to find. I had, however, already purchased this book with the return period just run out and decided I might as well read the end to the trilogy. Maybe I was going in biased because of the author's wrongdoings, but I hated this book. I haaated it, omg. I thought the previous two volumes were interesting. Not easy to read for me, despite their short length, and I disliked the smut scenes in both of them, but there were interesting themes going on. And the action happening at the end of volume 2 had me wanting to read the conclusion. That conclusion was, however, pretty bad. It's short again, yet hardly anything happens except the characters sitting together and eating and bathing. And romancing. That was the thing that put me off so hard. The story is so short, but it needs to include another love story, really? Sophia gets out of the cult and falls for the very first uncoupled human she meets. Hate it! Stories where all characters need to be coupled up. Hate it, hate it! But, oh, of course we also need to do found family. (Really, why not just focus on that.) And it's not just Norse gods anymore and the Christian god and angels, now there's a banshee as well, which is what originally? Irish? But is it actually what is portrayed in the book? Thing is, after the author lied so blatantly about themself, I didn't feel like I could trust anything they write. I don't know anything about religion or being autistic or trans, so I have to take it the way they write it, but I can't trust anymore that this is how those things actually work and that feeling persisted throughout the book and was not a good one.

Two posts more to go before the end of the year!

[meowonaise]

Hello! I’m the anon that was curious about your p3d process from before 🙌

First of all, tysm for such a quick reply and oml pluto soda mentioned!! Their tutorial was one of the first few resources I came across when I was first starting out. Their models are absolutely adorable! The cottencandy robot is my fav (the one with a pink and blue color scheme) However, as much as I love their tutorial, I did find that due to the character they choose having a hood on (i’m assuming) and the tutorial jumping forward sometimes, it makes it a little difficult to design the back of the model (the hair especially.)  The back of all my models looks like such a big mess cause of the hair haha. That’s why I was wondering about your workflow and how you go about making your models! Your shading style is super cute and i’d love to know more about how you pick your colours!

I really love this one model of yours in particular cause of the design of the face. (linked below, the one with purple hair) One thing I really like about your style is how you use shading to create depth and add more details to the design instead of adding a ton of different shapes (which given this is p3d we're talking about . . . oof the software would crash a dozen times)

-> For example: Teto’s hair + highlights in this model, and the design of her skirt is such a unique approach! 1) https://www.tumblr.com/meowonaise/757822097302110208/revenge-for-tomatolamp?source=share

2) https://www.tumblr.com/meowonaise/766338194550685696/paint3d-teto-for-teto-tuesday?source=share

If you feel comfy, pls do share your secrets! Or atleast a few hints as to how I should go about to achieve a similar result. Ty in advance

hi anon ^_^!! you mostly mentioned hair + faces so i mostly went with that!! hopefully thats what you meant!! also the most of it is under a read more because it got kind of long >_<

id say my process in making hair in paint 3d art is very similar to how i go about drawing 2d art if that makes sense. i block in my colors so after i draw the head ill start drawing the front bang, side hair pieces, and then back hair pieces. im not quite sure whats the best way to explain so heres tetos hair all broken up

it varies a lot from what character you want to draw but teto only has her front hair and pigtails so theres not too much going on with the back hair (i just colored in the back of her head, which is a sphere, with the marker tool)

for the maya fey plushie + a plushie of @/machamess's oc kapri sun the back hair is just one really big shape drawn out w the soft edge as well. which doesnt really look as detailed or have a lot of form to if you drew out and fiddled with a bunch of pieces, but it works perfectly for my purposes !!

^^ignore how crunchy these images are i moved computers and didnt transfer over my paint3d models so i had to screenshot gifs of them. but hopefully theyre clear enough!

and you can see there that on mayas hair the highlights are painted in!! which is also drawn in the same way that i add highlights to hair in 2d art. i think it makes up for the fact that their hair is completely flat and gives it a little depth!

but again it varies from the hair your trying to make!! like for example heres a model of mirabelle of in stars and time fame. unlike the other characters who all had straighter hair she has a kinkier hair texture, so her hair is comprised of spheres with her hairline being drawn in with a marker instead. it probably isnt very realistic but i think it works for a cartoony style with no textures ^_^

as for skirts i dont really have much advice unfortunately :( i made a teto model because i was thinking and i was like wait..... i could make tetos synthv skirt in paint 3d and then i did it. but its the semi circle shape with squares drawn with the soft edge! tetos design is a bit unique in that she only has 4 flaps in her skirt which could definitely apply to some characters but not all? but on the mira model her skirt is made up of long, almost triangle shaped slabs to get the pleated effect. theyre less squashed to get a more fluffy shape that i like to draw mira with ^_^

anyways i dont think theres a better way to go over this so:

the step by step tutorial part (for the face + hair)

heres the base for the headshot which is just a sphere for the face, semicircles for the body and ears and a capsule for the neck. theres not much to see for a full body model since its basically the same as plutosodas. were going to make this a gumi megpoid because i think her hair is fun to draw :) also i forgot to sketch it out first so i urge you to not be like me and sketch things out first.

front bang, done in light green for clarity

side bangs. here i start thinking abt the general shape, here i want gumi to have an exaggerated indent on her head so the side bangs are shaped as such. i also elongated her front bang to frame the face a little better.

side hair thingies! the closer ones around her ears are a bit sideways to wrap around her head a bit more. i also made her side bangs a bit bigger to frame the face better. theres a lot of shifting things around i realize!

back hair time! its just a really big soft edge shape. you maybe see the the hair clips into the back a little. well paint it over during the painting process! also i made her head smaller here.

extra stray bit of hair! ill move onto the painting now, but ill probably add and change more later.

ok so there is not really any logic i follow when picking colors. i just usually pick my favorite ones. for the dono model (purple haired character you linked) i color picked their colors from their reference (made by @/tomatolamp on here who also does really cool art!!!!! including 3d stuff!!!!!!) but ill try to explain my coloring style a bit ^^

as said before my painting process in paint 3d is nearly identical to my 2d art so heres a gumi really quickly done in clip studio. for blush, i always like to move the color wheel closer to the red/pink area, maybe make it darker for really pale skin, and use a darker/more saturated red to draw in the blush + imply a nose bridge. for highlights i always go for something that stands out against the hair color, which yellow is always a safe choice for but anything that contrasts nicely will work for me!

heres her skin tone all colored in. i also changed the lighting to the sand filter to be more pleasing and not so washed out and gray

blush + lines!

face!! i like to draw on the eyes and mouth with blue cuz i like to use blue lineart when i do it.

hair colors time!! i changed the hair to a more pleasing green and changed the inside hair to yellow and added highlights. i got the gradient effect by simply moving the color slider from yellow to pink with stopping in between to get the middle colors.

i decided to redo the back so that it doesnt have a top part so it goes into the head a bit nicer. i traced over the original back part to keep the same shape :)

clothes time ^_^ her goggles are 3 hard edge shapes (2 for the eye parts, one for the bridge) and 2 semi circles and her collars are soft edges. also i added sparkles in her eyes and redid for front bang bc it was spaced out in a way that bothered me (this could have been avoided if i did a sketch. dont be like me) (and also i realize now i forgot to re add the highlight. oops)

also added some more stray hairs to the back to add more texture!! here i also tried to make things a bit more symmetrical and make sure that nothing looks too off from the other angles. its mostly just shifting things around!

and there you have a full paint3d model!! shes still a bit messy on some parts so i would probably fiddle around a bit more if she was a full model but thats the gist of it. if i skipped over anything or you still got further questions dont be afraid to ask :)!! happy paint3ding!!

It had already been two weeks since Rouge had taken her in. Her children were happy, she watched as Rejiu and Ace exsporded the nearby bushes eating berries thire little mouth stained with dark red juice. Her boys were playing on the blanket she spread out for them. Sora was doing the wash on this nice day, Rouge had gone to fetch more groceries for them. Maybe it would be okay for them to stay here.

“Yoo hoo!” Rouge's elderly neighbor called out, her apron gathered in front of her, Martha was always bringing them stuff. “I bought a few extra eggs for you! My chickens are just laying so many. We simply can't eat them all.”

“Nana!” Ace ran as fast as his little legs could carry him towards the woman.

“Hello Ace.” The women cooed.

“Good morning, Martha.” Sora greeted her, putting her laundry aside. “I can take the eggs inside. Would you like another Jar of jam?” Sora asked as she walked closer, careful not to step on any crawling babies. As she drew near, she heard tiny peeps. “What was that?” Sora asked, evern thught she knew.

“Oh? Will you look at that! Some of the eggs must have hatched on the way over! You can have them. We have enough hens.”

“I see?” Ace asked her, Rejiu had crept closer, looking couiors.

“of course you can, sweetie.” Martha unfolded her apron, thire were indeed eggs but thire were six little yellow chickens. Sora had to admit they were rather adorable. Sora took her apron and held out as Martha began to transport eggs and chicks. “Don't worry dearie George is setting up your new coop as ae speak, he built us a brand new one so we needed the old one to go somewhere it's still perfectly srevable.”

“Maman I hold?” Ace asked, tugging on both her heartstrings and her dress. She would need to talk to Rouge about this later.

“Please Maman? We be careful.” Reiju chimed in tugging on the other side of her dress.

“All right, hold out your hands,” Sora instructed the children before placing a chick in each set of tiny hands. “Remember to be gentle, they are babies, gentle touch.”

“Okay Maman.” The children chirped thire eyes large and round as they held the chicks. “Martha would you mind watching the children for a moment while I take care of the eggs and grab more jam?”

“Of course I can, dear, I look forward to more jam. It was scrumptious!” Martha replied. “Don't worry about a thing. These six will be just fine with me.”

With Sora nodding her thanks and headed inside. She placed the chicks into a basket, the eggs in the firge, and grabbed more jam. She enjoyed sharing redpies from her home in the horth blue. The north was cold, crewl, and harsh, but it used to be a place of art and culinary wonder. Tge people of the north would decorte the inside of thire homes with color and wounderful art. Sora had hoped when she had frist become queen to bring prosperity and joy back. However, it wasn't long until she realized what her purpose actually was. That Queen was an empty title.

Sora carries the chicks and jam outside. She could see Rouge in near distance. Martha had taken over doing the laundry, and her boys were still on the blanket she had spread out.

“Mãe!” Ace spotted her and ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, Reiju close behind. “Look it look it! Baby!” He held out his hands, showing the chick he held. Reiju also held up her own. These past two weeks, Sora had watched as Reiju came out of her shell day by day.

“Oh wow!” Rouge knelt down in front of the children, placing her grocers down. “Super cute. Where did you find them?”

“Nana bring them and eggs.” Reiju replied, pointing to Martha.

“did you remember to thank her?” Rouge asked. Both children shock their heads. “well better fix that.” The children looked at each other before running off again. Oh, to have that kind of boundless energy.

Sora watched as Rouge stood back up the breeze, blowing her thick, wavy hair. The sun seemed to shine only on her, her tan skin with the freckles dusting her checks and nose, gorgeous brown eyes. Sora had to admit that the woman was stunning, but Sora pushed those thoughts aside. She had to focus on survival, giving her children a safe, happy life. Romance was out of the question.

Man, can you tell me why every character you draw has to be so beautiful?!?! Seriously, your style is one of my favorites and as soon as I saw your Warren my first reaction was:

('cause I'm such a big sipm of him) (and I love his hair so much) Anyway! I couldn't help myself and had to draw my lampnold fanchild Starlight in your style hope you like it ❤️ I also drew Warren but I'll send it to you some other time when I draw my oc.

duuuuude, holy crud you're too sweet ! 😭 i can't stand warren at all but i'm flattered that you at least find him decent-looking in my style.

also STARLIGHT- she's so adorable. like, she's genuinely one of the best fanchild designs i've ever seen. there's so many tiny, meaningful details (especially the star/heart motifs and the glowing antennae) that i can tell a lot of work went into her design. you've got some mad character design skills 👍 also the fact you drew this traditionally and still managed to make it look so smooth is awesome. you nailed this ! this made my day, man. i don't draw other people's characters a lot, but damn- 😂 she's too cute to pass up:

super happy to have inspired you. 💫💙 thanks for sharing your art with me. i look forward to whatever else you have to show me in the future !

Back with a few questions, if that's okay ^^ "some fools think that Gilart fans like violins" do you mean that they think we don't know it's actually not a super wholesome, uwu sorta ship (lol)? Also I'm very intrigued by your concept of a GilAlter- if I were to accept one (I think it's contrary to the essence of Gil's character for a GilAlter to exist,but.), I think I'd like your version best- "he turned to his divine blood and not his human side.".

Super last thing, if you still feel like answering questions. I'm curious: would you feel comfortable sharing your shipper story? Like why drew you to GilArt, which of these 2 characters do you resonate with more, etc? And what do you think of CasGil and Lion King Arturia (personally, I love that ship -so grateful for zoro's art- and any and all combos, like Casgil x default Arturia)? Thanks!

I just realized the mistake, but it's even worse than the violins, I was talking about the rape. They think that Gilart's fans like rapes because in fsn route fate, Gil plans to rape Arturia.

(Of course, for the connoisseurs, we all know Gilgamesh's state of mind in this route).

Thanks for choosing my version of Gilalter. I had already thought about him a long time ago and I can say that he will be horrible. But I didn't really think about if he will be interested in Arturia, maybe he will.

Aaaah, I fell in love with this ship. I already knew the name of the Fate license, but I never managed to watch the 2004 (2006?) anime version because it was ugly XD (I was a teenager at that time)

So I was convinced to watch Fate/Zero very late, in 2018. And I was not disappointed, it's a good way to discover the license. I fell in love with the ship at the end of the series when Gil proposes Arturia. It came out of nowhere and Gil didn't really put his best side forward and I didn't notice the moments where he praised Saber. Since I didn't know the stories of the fsn, I guess it was like an arrow in the heart XD. I think the most important thing was the sincerity of Gil in that moment. It seemed like a whim, but when you think about it, not at all and he was making the effort to force her to accept, when in principle, if it was insignificant, he wouldn't have even asked her.

So after that, I did some research and research. I never watched fsn, because I didn't want to see a SaberxShirou and I didn't have the opportunity to play the game yet, but I watched almost everything related to the license, just to have a little official moment between Gil and Arturia. (I was unfortunately very disappointed XD Arturia became a worldwide waifu, same for Gil, because even if he's an asshole, everybody loves him. So I concluded that they couldn't put them together to mix them. Probably because it would break the fantasy, I'm not sure). Then I turned to Fanfictions, I found my little happiness, even reading the most horrible stories XD, it was not serious, I had my dose. And I started to draw humans again just to be able to draw them, and I was very happy.

For the other versions... Arturia Lancer is a problem for me because of the Fanservice. It goes from a small flat woman to a big disproportionate woman, I don't like it at all. I mean, it's impossible XD. And she is presented as someone more mature and rational than Saber when Saber is this King Arthur at the end of his life in the license. So to see Lancer made my heart ache because it's like denying her true self.

After other people will probably not agree with me XD.

I have less of a problem with Gilcaster because it's just an older version of Archer, but technically they're still the same. It's just a shame that he references Lion King more than Saber. But I like that he loves Saber Lily in Carnival XD.

I love Saber Alter. But I modified it for myself and I think others like my version.

And Lily is cute. (With Ko-Gil it's the little extra)

I don't look too much at the other versions, for example the Caster version, I haven't had the chance to know it yet. But I don't think I like her, I think she's a distorted version of Saber, but I'll wait until I get a chance to read her story to be sure.

(but I'll gladly ship Arturia saber with all the Gil XD)

20 October 2024

Got a bad case of art block again... I guess that I start to stress about my comic being good enough again. I delayed this week's part and now only drew like a page per day, what's kind of bad... I feel kind of bad in general, for some reason. Since last week I've been quite depressed and can't focus on anything. And I sleep like 3h per night then another 2 or 3 later in the morning. I don't have energy for anything and it's building up my anxiety. The weather is a little weird too, it's cold at night outside so we don't have the ac on but during the day it's still way too hot but going between cold and hot like that makes me sick. This country is really cursed ah ! ✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ Since I'm been feeling down it was the perfect time to think about "This time I can share it with you", because it's a depressing story. Yeah you don't know it yet but I poured all my life-saved desperation into it. I'm looking forward to work on it too, it feels like an itch to wait another 2 weeks to do it. I'm still thinking about whatever make it extra sad or have them being cute and happy sometimes. I think both of those idiots are a little bit destroyed beyond repair so it would be more logical for it to go badly on every levels. But I also want to find a believable way to make Silas feel a little better at least. He really cornered himself there... I get it why the author let him die at the end of Da Vinci Code. Anything else would be worse. I mean, the guy had nothing his whole life, was nothing and has no purpose at all. He literally saw himself as a ghost most of his life and then when in prison he was waiting for nothing else but to die. And after being saved by the bishop he seems to not even being super buddy buddy with him, he was mostly admirative of him and wanted to repay him for giving him a life. And he really thought he could do it in the book, thus why he's so smug and all, he really believes he's doing something good, good in the sense that it will bring something good for the bishop and the Opus Dei, he does know that he will have to repent for it for the rest of his life. All he wanted is to be someone. To have a purpose. And to prouve to the bishop that he was right to believe in him. So when it turned out to be a ruse and fell for it so easily, going against everything he believes in as a monk, the bishop learning way too late that he made him kill 5 people, it broke the only image he made of himself since he was a child. It was his only chance at being something. Because even as a monk he was just a monk. With no real goal or future but praying for forgiveness and hoping to someday repay Aringarosa. And at the end all he did was to disappoint him and bring him misfortune. Fucked up. Brown is so cruel lol. His personality is hard for me to get right because his sides of him mix in a way that is hard to understand how he'd behave in situations. Sometimes he's super cruel, sometimes he seems to not care much, sometimes he cares too much and sometimes he helps people and worry for them and seems generally kind. It really depend on the people and the situation. I mean, I get that but I don't know in what category place Sasha. And there is a wide range of emotion he's shown having in the book. And since he's been alone most of his life he might not be able to connect to people at all. So I'm still analyzing him lol. But I love my boy and I'll find a way. Also since I made Sasha even more fucked up in every aspects I'm myself fucked up in, it makes me indulge into very bad thinking working on it and sometimes it goes a bit far and I make myself depressed lol. Poor lady. Silas only being a random dude to her, only makes me wonder how I possibly could make her happier too. And Silas is not the kind of person who could comfort her at all. Ah lala... That story is not going into a great direction is it ?

[mysticmorningstar]

hihii! im mimi! and i’m here for ur free readings. could i pls have a reading on what cute things my first/future girlfriend will do w me? if not anything that comes up about her like her personality and our dynamic anything like that! i have never dated anyone before for context but i have had crushes and heartbreak and things never seem to really go my way romantically.. so i’m really just wanting smth to look forward to atp lol 😭 tysm in advance 🫶

hi mimi! for you i'm seeing red roses? i don't know why, an image of a blonde girl holding red roses as she waits for the bus just popped into my head. nevertheless, here is your spread:

for some reason one million oracle cards popped out for you so i'd better cut right to the chase.

with the three of wands and the fool, i'm seeing that this girl is really, really excited to start a new chapter of her life with you. with the six of cups in reverse representing independence, i'm seeing she might even want to move in with you very quickly. but with the two of wands in reverse, i'm getting that she doesn't want to admit this to you, like she fears that you won't want the same thing. that being said, the star is a generally very positive and sweet card, representing healing and positivity, so i'm getting that this person is really bubbly and optimistic and full of curiosity, joy, and love. basically, you got yourself a golden retriever girlfriend. i also heard "stargazing" so maybe one or both of you really loves astrology or just outer space in general.

the overall energy of your reading is kind of unfortunate with the nine of wands in reverse- you won't feel satisfied with the amount of affection you receive from her. but the star card is also a card of hope and renewal, so there might still be hope here for a line of communitcation to open up between you two so that both your needs are met.

with the oracle cards, i'm getting kind of a storyline in which your relationship faces trials and tribulations but they are in fact overcome with the phoenix card. the trials likely come from one or both of you having trauma of some kind, and being avoidant because of it. but with the security and fulfillment cards coming out, i am starting to see a bit more of a happy ending here. and with the creation and manifestation card, i'm seeing that maybe you've manifested this person or maybe you drew this person in with your energy. with creation popping out you might also both be really creative, or maybe one of your shared activities is creating something together (e.g. art, film, content, etc.)

i also feel it's important to mention that the golden retriever energy might actually be coming from you. i'm getting that one of you is standoffish and a bit cold, and one of you is bright and cheery. like a sun and moon dynamic. take whatever resonates.

thank you for your question! i hope this reading was helpful.

Prompt Idea: Levi and Hange reacting to their kid bringing home kindergarten drawings that are just the freakiest shit. Bat-faced monsters with giant fangs and milky white eyes, dragons with multiple heads spewing fire in all directions, some two-legged elephant crossed with a hyena with a plasma cannon for an arm. And their kid is just grinning cutely all the while.

"Gorgeous! Superb! A masterpiece!"

"Four-eyes," voice lowered to a whisper, Levi sneakily tugged at his partner's arm, pulling Hange back from their kid, "Stop with the praises, this drawing is awful."

"I beg to differ!" Hange protested, rather loudly, with finger pointed up in the air, "The proportions are quite realistic, the shading is amazing and the style!" she continued to gush, kneeling down to ruffle their daughter's hair. "The style is original and so full of creativity! And it looks so pretty too!"

Levi threw another critical look at the drawing that their daughter Helena had brought home. With a sigh, he kneeled next to his Hange. "It's a monstrosity," he mumbled, careful not to let Helena hear. "We really shouldn't encourage this type of drawings."

"My daughter will be an artist!" Hange cried out, seemingly deaf to his words. She threw her hands around Helena, pressing the girl to her chest. "Ah, I'm so proud of you, baby!"

"Hange." Not caring about appearing nice anymore, Levi dragged his partner away from his daughter. He turned the TV on and once Helena was within their earshot and too engrossed in the cartoon that was playing there, he continued, "She drew a picture of me slaying our neighbor with a blade. In vivid details."

"You hate Zeke anyway," Hange waved him off. "Besides, Helena is just expressing herself. We can't scold her for that."

He hated - oh, how he hated when Hange was right. Unfortunately for him, she almost always was.

But he wouldn't be himself if he just let her have the last word.

"If you're so dead set on letting her express herself," he emphasized the last words, lips curling in displease, "Do try to convince Helena that she shouldn't show her art to other kids. She scared some boy today. And I got scolded by a teacher."

Hange burst out laughing, definitely imagining the look on his face during the conversation with a teacher. "She so takes after me," she said, wiping at her eyes.

"Then you'll be the one speaking with the teacher next time. Your genes - your responsibility."

That earned Levi another giggle and and an arm wrapping itself around his waist. "She takes after you as well, my dear. Just look at Helena's height."

Comparing his height to the height of a kindergartener? Levi hoped Helena wouldn't adopt Hange's sense of humor. Their shared love for everything hideous was already a blow to his sanity.

Not that Levi could actually complain. As weird as his family obviously was, he wasn't that much different. And he loved his two abnormals more than life itself.

"Hurry up," making sure that Helena was distracted with a cartoon, Levi stole a quick kiss from Hange. Then, before she could start teasing him, he pushed her forward, in the direction of kitchen. "The dinner is ready, help me set the table. And after that," he caught Hange's eyes, "You'll teach our daughter how to draw something less violent."

Get to Know Me 2022!

Today we have @romanceapologist​ ! Welcome to the event, darling! 

How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom?

Since last year around April (my favourite author is a major Hooker, so, after seeing about 10 gifs, I found myself watching the show and subsequently entering the fandom) 

When did you start shipping Captain Swan?

Before even watching the show, honestly. I saw the wedding episode when it aired and, thought, hey, they're cute. I also thought the show must be very weird since everyone was singing, but, as soon as I watched the show and saw their first meeting, I was hooked. Pun totally intended. I also love enemies-to-lovers, so, yup, Captain Swan quickly became something I just adored. 

What drew you to this event?

The stories and art from previous years seemed amazing and I thought it would be fun - I also had a story idea on the back-burner so that helped. 

What inspired your topic?

A dream, to be honest. I frequently have weird dreams and this one was about a pirate ship and the ghost of a sea captain who lived on board, so, as soon as I woke up, one thing led to another and I was 200 words in. 

If you would like to share a snippet/sneak peek/summary of your fic or artwork, please use the space below.

"There was something about the storms that washed over Storybrooke’s shores that made Emma keenly aware the ship that sat on the harbors edge. Although not normally a superstitious person, Emma swore that, with every wave, every sudden gust of wind, every cold touch of a raindrop on her skin, that the ship was watching her. Them. The entire little town that was Storybrooke. It was as though it was cursing them, waiting for something to happen, a danger that forever lay in wait for Emma knew not what."

For our artists: What kind of art do you like to do? Picsets, painting, digital, etc? Feel free to give as much info as you like.

Mostly just moodboards. I just love sticking a few pics together to represent the story that I either read/am planning to write. It just helps me to internalise what I'm writing/reading. 

For our betas: Who/what have you beta'd before, or is this your first time? Feel free to give as much info as you like.

I actually did beta before, but only for people in my previous fandoms. One was my writing buddy as I call her (we're pen pals now), my brother who's foray into fanfiction was short lived and my fandom crush at the time who wrote some amazing stories about my previous OTP. I can't even remember their pennames, if I'm being honest, because it was about 5 to 8 years back that any of them last wrote anything. 

What are you looking forward to most about participating in this event?

Honestly just seeing what the rest of the fandom's releases are. I'm beyond excited, actually, just to see what everyone's contributions are going to be.

Welcome, @romanceapologist​ -- we are so glad to have you! :)
