#I low key want to draw more of this

I’ll just drop this there…

My take on a Vee!Alastor AU (Valastor?)

[drawnfamiliarfaces]

I've been utterly fascinated by Good (better? nicer?) Chase design by @lizard-color4 from this post and desperately wanted to know more. Who's this man? What's his story? Why is his hand bandaged? Why is his fashion taste is so much better than Original Chase? And why the hell does his hug looks so nice??

so i um, decided to explore his design a little ;D

also bonus+ sorta?? continuation / my take on the after hug because i really craved more of that

bonus++ a silly doodle of my first attempt on his design because why not

can you draw L and Light doing work together I think it'd be cute and relaxing

L says the overhead lights stay off

Hi!! I love this series so much, and as someone who hasn’t really drawn since they were a kid but wants to start as a hobby, do you have any advice for sort of learning to doodle on paper and get better at it? I want to start but I don’t really know how/where

The most important step in getting better at any skill is Persistence and Consistency. Practice and keep practicing! The best way to do that is to keep it fun! Picking a project helps generate ideas (e.g. drawing Pokémon, or characters from a series you like). There are also a ton of monthly prompt lists out there!

I also highly recommend scheduling in a 'drawing/practice' time in your day. For me, I started with 30-60 min before bed (bonus: its a good 'no screentime' activity), and the habit took root there.

There are a lot of 'technical' things to study but find the fun first. At a certain point you will discover you've hit a wall, and have a specific aspect/goal you want to target (colour theory, anatomy, lighting, comic layout). Then it's time to go looking for resources.

Once you have the habit and some goals, go collect some inspiration! Find people who inspire you and study their work!

Another little 'art skill builder' I recommend is the Shrimp Method! Only if you find technical challenges like this fun though (Example of one of my studies below)

oc tober day 10: personality. this is my character cirillo toscani, he used to be an actual stage actor, then was forced to become a nepotism baby businessman (part of one of the families that used to be so rich they ran like All trade in fantasy eurasia + north africa but they are all gradually losing power in recent years. ie the past several centuries), but he got fired from that too so now he is just a regular liar. though he gradually obtained more values over time due to a genuinely compassionate heart, he has spent his entire life being manipulated and guilt tripped by others, still being pretty spineless in the present day. he's also a social chameleon who can blend into any group and displays completely different personalities depending on context, which is why I drew him here as an actor waiting for his cue

JUST found out that it’s nana from +anima’s birthday today ??? on the SAME DAY as mine own !!??! i’m. sort of deceased.

and i doubt anyone that will see this cares about that, BUT !!!! +anima is SO core to me, and sharing a birthday with my favourite most wonderful girl in the whole world ?? an honour. a pleasure, a privilege. a cause for celebration. so here are some semi-sketches i did back in may when i reread the series for the first time in five years <3

a lil bonus for if you read this far, one of my oldest pieces of digital art from (i believe) 2018; my +anima oc !!! i kind of adore looking at very old art and remembering how i felt at the time and my thought process as i drew. except with this, i remember nothing of the story or other characters i came up with, other than that it was needlessly angsty and sad and someone died (to be fair to me, i hadn’t yet turned 14 lol).

(and just as a bonus bonus, my complete +anima collection!! my beloved nostalgia series, i wouldn’t be the same without you. 13 year old me is WAILING knowing that we own the series now !!)

Oh shoot, I forgot to actually check the results of that poll.

Edit: Well, it’s a three way tie between one of the Techphee doodle comics, Omega and Tech discussing Plan 99, and Omega leaving voicemails a for Echo, so I guess I’ll start with those.

God, painting this almost took me 12 hours- I'm such a slow artist 😭

For anyone that has a ko-fi account, do y’all know if your legal name will be shown when someone sends you money? When you have your PayPal account linked with ko-fi, or (I dunno if this is possible) just sending money on the site itself without linking a bank account to it?

I know little to nothing about this kinda thing, and I’d like to start commissions one day without having my real name shown (and I really don’t wanna make a business account on PayPal tbh….).

Please and thank you for anyone who can answer this! /gen

OK here it is, a ton of 'production' stuff for the Hot Guy Comic Zine! I've never been part of a project like this. Even though I was working on my comic mostly solo (shout-out to my editor Violet!), the world-building and story arc planning was completely collaborative. For example:

We started out on the world-building by voting on character's superpowers! Plenty of powers were almost unanimously agreed on, but Cuteguy was a HUGE campaign. We were pretty much 50/50 split between can fly/can't fly. Propaganda was exchanged LOL, like this piece where I campaigned for limited flying capabilities 😂 And thats what we ended up settling on!

From there we worked on a ton of brainstorming/world-building that I mostly spectated with an occasional doodle like these haha. I'm new to such elaborate AUs!

Pitch time!! I had pitches for each era and they were all pretty light and banter-y, so my year 1 pitch ended up fitting the vibe the best. My original pitch was 'HG + CG learn some key things about each other and plan to set up a base they can use together.' But when I started my script, I got really caught up in how they were navigating a partnership without knowing each others identities. The more I wrote through that, the more I wanted my story to be ABOUT that! So thats where my script started coming together.

Designs! I'm definitely not a confident costume designer. I was trying to go for low-tech + practical since it was early in their careers, and of course, easy to draw 😂

Process went more or less like this! Full color comics take a LONG TIME but it was a total labor of love. I had the graffiti bgs in mind from the very start since I knew it was dialogue heavy, I wanted to make sure the art was interesting and worth spending time looking at. Oh lord did I get carried away. I'm OBSESSED with the symbolism the fandom has put to the life series and so I tried to sneak in as much meaningful symbolism as possible. AND THE RESULT:

Guess I did pretty well! 😂😂😂

Anyway, I can't overstate how proud I feel to have gotten to work on this project. My whole goal as a hobbyist is to get to work with other artists I look up to and respect so this was a dream come true! Thank you everyone for reading, for 15k downloads (!!!), and for just being an awesomely creative fandom space to make art in! I hope to do more stuff like this again some day 💕
