waow 2024 is almost dead!!! gone too soon. feels like it’s been a big year for me art-wise for many reasons, BUT. i’m making 2025 bigger.... hopefully....i’ve made some art goals for next year which i won’t explain in detail but they boil down to 1) do more studies 2) tackle my weaknesses (backgrounds, dynamic poses/angles, uhhh lots of stuff i am a one trick pony right now) 3) get into drawing comics, all of which are in preparation for 4) take my story ideas more seriously and get started on one of the many graphic novels living in my head. i have one in mind i HAVE to complete in my lifetime or i will die, but firstly i’m gonna mess around with some little standalone svanhildr comics perhaps. goat fans rejoice.
anyway i wasn’t meant to ramble so i’ll just say THANK YOU for the support as always!!! i’m very flattered all of these have more than 1000 notes.....crazy. thank you. muah
#tumblrtop10#my art#looking forward to 2025 i really really REALLY REALLY want to get stuck in with my story ideas.....#my main passion project i'm more and more leaning into not even sharing i cannot lie. it's very personally made for ME to love and enjoy#and i suck at a lot of what i'd need to draw for it (humans interior backgrounds and an art style that's at least a little gritty)#GOD it's been taking over my mind so much i want to gnaw on it but it's in my head#so maybe i'll just do a first draft for me and me alone and when i'm in my 30s and maybe better at those things i can draw it finally#actually one of the characters for that features here hiii mockley!!! coming in at number 2 most popular of 2024 i'm so proud of her#her design's come a long way i'm kind of super happy with her as always <3 i love you my repressed old woman dinosaur#ALSO i'm SOOOOO excited about a character i made recently i can't wait to share her with the world#she's been a LONG time coming....my goirl.....#i will hopefully show her off in the new year#ALSO no one will see this i'm sure but thank you to my commissioners for the patience#i have now finished my break and will continue drawing

I got the art book and icl I kinda fw concept Aiden’s fashion sense



Oh yeah Clara tattoo sleeves as well because I love the scrumptious meaning behind it

And finally the pencil sketch because I get enamoured with these things and it’s one of my favourite things besides the Pawnee environment drawings out of the book

#watch dogs#watch dogs 1#aiden pearce#clara lille#mmmm pencil sketches… yummy#I think we’d be here a while if I posted the entire book because that things 143 pages long#I loved the environment drawings so much though#the npc sketches too#it does a nice job of characterising the atmosphere and just general gritty Chicago#anyway yap session over

Wild and impetuous. I expected more of the boy who bested my lord commander. Yet I see why my master covets you so. The power within you, Mythos. The potential.
#ffxviedit#ffedit#clive rosfield#barnabas tharmr#barnaclive#if they have another ship name pls lmk!#i knew this was homoerotic but now i'm seeing the details#like in the third gif with the way barnabas smirks at clive#he loves toying with him and seeing him give his all only to be bested#and you can tell Barnabas *wants* to be outmatched by Clive#he wants Clive to prove his strength and his supremacy#this is' so fuckn gay#and i'm v attracted to the way that barnabas just shoves clive with his shoulder and it's so forceful#also the details of how bloodstained and gritty clive is vs. how pristine and clean barnabas is#& how barnabas fights with one arm behind his back#anyway ok#i stayed up entirely too long making this last night#it was worth it but omg i underestimated how much time i would sink into this#mine

So I watched the THK cast reaction/interview with English subs (credit: nellyyangyang on twitter), and...
They're so desperately trying to clarify that it's a romantic comedy ya'll. The number of times they keep saying "it's easy to swallow, no need to chew" and "you can watch without thinking" and "it's really simple". I wonder if this is pre-emptive because they can see online how many people are taking the trailer the wrong way and they don't want to get the backlash of disappointed fans?
Maybe the colours and aesthetic of the trailer is making people think it'll be serious? But like... ok has anyone else seen the 1996 Leonardo DiCaprio movie Romeo + Juliet? I feel like this is in the same vein where its simultaneously shot incredibly seriously with a very specific aesthetic and vibe, but also completely irreverent and satirical, but like earnestly so. (Which, ngl, if it IS that would be SO awesome; Romeo + Juliet is iconic for being so unhinged in the best way.)
#the heart killers#i don't have twitter but tqsm to @nellyangyang for the translation!#i'm very lucky that everything so far is pointing to exactly the kind of show i love to watch#like idk -- i get that the setting could be gritty and serious but i'm so excited at the thought of a romantic comedy#being set in something other than a university/high school/office#like it sets the stakes higher purely in the setting in a way that i'm very much looking forward to#whilst still hoping it stays true to the genre#there's other shows for the people who want something more serious and dramatic (eg. everything i've heard of Manner of Death?)#please let us happily enjoy this romantic comedy about a murder brother duo and their flirty detective/mechanic boyfriends#first kanaphan#khaotung thanawat#joong archen#dunk natachai#thk interviews

Some practise with baby lilith. I feel like i'm hitting another turning point in my art soon. I seem to circle back to more stylised art lol
#for some reason i always write my notes in english#idk why i guess it just comes naturally with spending so much time reading in english#anyways there are many things i want to include in my art and i finally decided to actually try and just smash them all together#the main ones are a fairly simple and stylised characters#and “gritty” and scetchy vibe which creates a darker tone to the art#one of my biggest inspirations is greykolla_art (i believe that's right) on tumblr#another is sui ishida#i'm also a fan of bixels' and tulliok's 1920's mlp au#awesome art from them both#(i love a lot of media about the 1920's-1930's period)#anyways i should probably stop putting the entire post in tags#my art#art#traditional art#scetch#toh#the owl house#toh lilith#lilith clawthorne#lilith clawthorne fanart#toh fanart

Dylan stopped pacing in the middle of the room, his fists clenched, as if struggling with some secret of his own.
"Thank you for trusting me, Alek." The boy looked at the floor. "I haven't always trusted you. Not with everything."
Alek pulled himself up from the chair and walked closer, resting his hands on the boy's shoulders. "You know you can, Dylan."
"Aye, I suppose... and there's something I should tell you, but you have to swear not to tell anyone else. Not Lilit, not the committee, no one."
"I'll always keep your secrets, Dylan."
The boy nodded slowly. "This one's a bit trickier than most."
He fell silent again, the pause stretching out.
"It's about your mission here, isn't it?"
Dylan let out a slow sigh, a sound of relief and exhaustion. "Aye. I suppose it is."
LOTS to say about this bit in particular
1. I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is the best place Dylan could have said anything, and the last opportunity he had to do so without making Alek feel like Dylan doesn't trust him.
2. Alek's repeated use of "Dylan" makes this harder. That's a huge part of the secret, the name, and Alek keeps using it. Dylan is repeatedly reminded that the version of him that lives in Alek's head is not an accurate one, and he has to decide if he's willing to correct that. (this is hard to talk about clearly with my decision to keep using Dylan and he/him pronouns during Alek's chapters but I am sticking to my guns)
3a. AND THEN ALEK GIVES HIM AN OUT. Dylan could have a hard conversation about identity and social expectations and trust that could end up with his friend rejecting him-- or he could talk about his adventures and being a soldier. We know Dylan. Dylan will almost always deflect so he doesn't have to experience a big scary uncomfortable emotion. Of course he's going to take the out.
3b. Once again we have that gender dichotomy of girl vs. soldier. The truth here is equivalent to the messy, embarrassing feelings that he's been trying to squash (girl). The mission is equivalent to the professionalism and confidence and strength that Dylan's been trying to project whenever his feelings get annoying (soldier).
#lily liveblogs leviathan 2024#leviathan series#leviathan trilogy#Deryn is SUCH an interesting character. I love them so so much.#i love getting to pick apart the story and get into the nitty gritty details. im normal about these books i swear

No other game has made me feel the way Until Dawn did the first time I saw it
#maybe it's cause it was my first real experience with horror#i don't know but sometimes ill see something about it and ill feel that way again#i love this game so much#i love the other games with all my heart but#until dawn was my first one and it's just so special#the others dont really have the same like. grittiness as ud. idk how to describe it#but like the darkness and dread and dirtiness and the vibe of the sanitarium and the way the threat is so personal#it's so disturbing in like a unique way to me#nothing will ever make me feel the way i did that first time i watched my sister play until dawn#supermassive games#until dawn

ok. i'm gonna do it. today's the day. like a month ago, i stuck every piece of fanart i could find of renji with short hair into my drafts (there are four) and i'm finally going to tag 'em up and post them. if you know of any i have missed pls hmu. this is a fandom curation project. this is folk art.
#renji abarai#renji with the short hair#do not mistake me i love his hair but short-hair renji is something that can be so powerful#like i always feel like if a grizzled renji came back in time from a gritty post-apocalyptic future he should have short hair#eyepatches and missing arms are a dime a dozen in bleach this is much more harrowing#anyway these are just nice normal fanarts except for the one that is a delightful shitpost plz enjoy them

#╳┆ dayne speaking ┆◜ ooc ◞#I want some kind of burlesque AU with bartender Jell so bad#or just bartender Jell in general#preferably a seedy bar with some wacky regulars who are up to no good#(me fighting the urge to put Joe’s Pocket Pub in every universe and failing miserably)#I just love the atmosphere okay.#I want something gritty with charm#idk maybe I’ll write up a verse for this someday soon and toss out a starter call#but I have plenty of asks / replies that need answering first#rewatching burlesque and I forgot how many times Jack says the iconic ‘I have a fiancée’ line#I love this movie so much
