Who?
(Can't do digital art again yet. Traditional has been fun, though. Click for not blurry quality)
#dca#daycare attendant#moondrop#sundrop#fnaf moon#fnaf sun#fnaf eclipse#ruin eclipse#dca fandom#fanart#villain.jpeg#this was done in less than an hour and if you desire the lore and meaning behind it#it went through many stages. I didn't plan it I was taking a break from drawing l/o/t/r characters#initially it was going to be a creepy sun emboding moon's whole thing. Then moon playing pretend and mascarading as sun#then a nod to sun and moon being indeed the same person. something I usually dont draw because I view them as separate#then I accidentally added in moon's hat even though I already had the rays. because I rarely draw sun so it's instinct#and this all started because I had this vivid image of sun's wide eyes in shadows so deep you can make out his ghostly white iris#point is: not even I the artist know if this is eclipse. if this is sun. if this is moon. if this is them mid switch. this is the DCA#traditional art#done with grey brush pen tgat I added water to. a black brush. black fineliner. and several layers of white pencil to wash out that eye#(it was painted black)#plus white watercolour for the iris#yes I had to do it like this. the camera doesn't capture it well but in person all that work made the eye exactly how I envisioned it#what a tag rant for a fanart that took less than an hour before dinner lmao

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I love Kaneki so much!!!!!! I want to do puzzles with him and watch his expression as he tries to figure out what to do with a difficult piece!!!!!! I want to paint still-lifes of the coffees he makes!!!! I want to take him to the nursery to pick out new bulbs to plant in the spring!!!!!!! I want to buy Kaneki a desk!!!!!!!!!!!
#I would paint a still life of a ghoul he’s de-kakuhoued and title it “Kaneki’s Work 5”#but I feel like he wouldn’t want a picture like that up#maybe he’d be embarrassed#what other stuff does he make#he needs to get into making bookmarks I want to see him surrounded by wavy scissors and watercolours and ribbons crafting away#oil painting of a bookmark Kaneki made. god bless him#I would say his poetry if he liked writing his own but I’m not really sure#also idk how you paint a picture of someone’s poem besides visualising it as a scene#that would be a cute idea ngl he can write something and I will draw it for him and it’s like a collaboration#I will personally go to the store and buy silk cardboard and the highest quality calligraphy paper#and select a ribbon in his favourite colour and then use the Chinese bookbinding technique to make him the nicest notebook for his writing#I’ll find some way to print a design onto the silk for the cover probably wood block but idk how silk printing works#I would find out for him#and he can have whatever design he would like for his notebook#we can have a photo shoot of him with his new book#I think Kaneki should meet an eel#kaneki time

sketching with a brush u don't like vs sketching with one you do /hj
Valeyna was originally my new DS2 character but I'm also porting her into an original thing I'm working on cuz it needs more of a cast of characters alongside Vasya besides Faust (again... who invited him THIS time huh /j) and a thirsty fairy (starring as the "weird little guy:tm:) LMAO
she is a soft spoken sorceress who is from a nomadic people with a bad reputation for their namesake - Albedo. She has an interest in the dark/occult and uses hexes, but as a result, she's very open-minded.
#myart#sketch#oc#artists on tumblr#art#digital art#trying to make myself not reject Vasya's stuff just because the DnD stuff didn't work out (like I tend to do to 'cope')#JUST MEANS I HAVE A BASELINE FOR NEW IDEAS I can branch off from pre-campaign heh...#(i'm not using characters that weren't mine tho obviously... but I haven't made a group of new OCs in a long time... so this'll be fun)#uh anyway semi-related but DS2 I still stand by being a decent game#yes it has it's absolutely diabolical moments/designed areas#but it's a hell of a lot more tolerable than DS1 imo (but im biased I lost over 7000 souls early in a new game in DS1 the other day...)#was extremely devastating and I deadass just quit and went back to DS2 after that LMAO#meanwhile#Fume Knight somehow punched/hit me from the OPPOSITE side... like sword in left hand but got hit on his right side?? like... rude smh#idk if I'm feeling the name 'Valeyna' still... it's grown on me but I'm undecided#DS2 is weird and makes u put in/save a name *before* making the character so I was unfortunately committed in-game lol#also really liking the watercolour pencil I used on the sketch on the right lately... has really nice shading capability#only thing im iffy on is the angle of the brush in particular (one of those chisel shapes)... but I don't think it's a deal breaker tho

The painting is done. It is currently in the process of being flattened, I don’t want to take pictures until it’s flat so it won’t be warped. It’s far too nice an artwork to share photographs of it warped.
#it’s so much better than I’d even hoped#like. first time ever painting a portrait of any sort I was not expecting it to be great#especially since it’s *watercolour*#but I really like how it looks#for the finishing touches I even brought out my little sample sheet of super fancy watercolours#so I put the final touches on the portrait with paints made of semiprecious stones. fitting for the character I think.#there’s some lapis lazuli in there. some bits of shading in his hair were done with black tourmaline.#the shading in his eyes was done—very fittingly—with bloodstone. hell there’s even a little *garnet* in there.#the full list is far longer. there’s a veritable rock collection in that painting.#I think the darling vampire twink would approve.#so many hours of work though… something like 18 hours I think?#my entire body is fucking screaming from all that time kneeling hunched on the floor while I worked#but it was worth it. I love how this has turned out.

oil painting my beloved beloathed 💖
#personal#art#i bought some paper that's designed for taking oil#it seems nice- i think i prefer how the paint goes down on this vs the panels i've generally been using#i want to finish the painting i'm working on first to form a full opinion though#(said painting's sketch was something i made with watercolour and pencil in mind. doing the tiny face details in oil was not a good choice)#hopefully it turns out fine anyway kl;sdgha;dfljhg

post ankle-twisting clarity
#i slipped in the mudddddd the other day LOL i twisted my one ankle and scraped up my other knee#so the past few days ive just been kind of needing to waddle around.....#LUCKILY its healing well and fast <3 but yknow i was like#so stressed out over shit that doesnt matter in school. and like this is an awful unintentional habit i have but i will get like#overly stressed over shit and then i'll start getting SUPER careless with everything. and then i'll injure myself foolishly and Calm Down#happened last year with my foolish midnight woodcarving incident LOL its always november....#BUT yeah luckily this years foolish injury is a quick one at least!!#but yeah like genuinely i was so stressed out about all my fine arts major shit. teachers have been really getting on my case recently#my main professor said that it was a good thing people get so riled up with my work because it means its impactful#tbh i didnt believe her at all i thought she was just trying to placate me but then i listened closely to the things faculty say when#they look at my fucking. cartoon wolf drawing or something and i think. she might be right actually. people keep getting frustrated with me#because i think they see a lot of potential in me but i basically only have to drive to draw cartoon wolves etc HFKJSDHJVKRFEds#which is great for my ego. maybe too good for my ego. that my mark making and colour use etc is so evocative to these industry and#instutition people. but on the other hand i was told like thrice now that my work has no place in a gallery. which is fine although im not#totally sure how true that is. but also afterwards one time i was suggested to go into animation instead which is. um.#so its not out of nowhere i mean i did want to be an animator when i was like 10 but if you know anything about the current state of the#animation industry its like genuinely wild to tell someone who you've only seen 2 dimensional watercolour and acrylic painted#sketchy lined drawings from and who has said they cant do digital art anymore that they should get an animation degree?#brother they would kill me. i would be killed. i had an inkling but it really made me notice so clearly how limited the experiences my#faculty kind of have with certain industries. which is fine. or maybe not. for a professor LOL but yknow. but i was like huh. i guess i can#just kind of chill lol if i just keep doing things maybe something will come of it. i may not get as much help in my artistic development#rn as i would like. but its chill i think i'll figure it out if i just keep doing stuff <3#doesnt really matter that my teachers dont know what to do with me. my kneeeee has a booboo so i am CHILLING out :)

princess tutu: die jahreszeiten 🌸
kind of a companion piece to my 2022 ptutu drawing | it's on inprnt
this print was at anime north; next con is otakuthon!
oops so my hand slipped and i made another princess tutu drawing. i admittedly don't watch that much anime so my catalogue of work is gonna be the same 5 animes LMAO. what can i say, i love "dark" fairy tales, and i've been really enjoying the more fine art approach to a lot of my drawings as of late (and the watercolour brush i've been using has been so perfect for that...!)
as my first princess tutu drawing is now 2 years old, there are some areas i've grown to have ... qualms with... although both drawings as a whole are pretty much exactly what i envisioned, and that's always satisfying!
both of these were drawn in roughly a week's time (yes really...) for con crunch period (and i went back to this drawing after the con to touch up some areas that were a bit rough!). i wanted a different approach to this new pt drawing, with the focus on the line work, rather than on colours and lighting in the 2022 drawing.
this drawing had 2 goals: to continue the style i adopted in my witch hat atelier "lantern bearers" drawing (which i promise i'll post in full soon as soon as all of the zine artists get their go-ahead to post their pieces!), and to emulate the art nouveau movement's heavy emphasis on line work, albeit not a 1:1 style replication of course.
the seasons also aren't a 1:1 representation, as i didn't necessarily pick flowers or colours that are most strongly associated with the season (e.g. summer being a dark tone is a bold choice?). but it's kinda whatever, as i said before i drew this in a week, there may be more appropriate flowers with better meanings. i couldn't spend too too much time drafting and researching.
FLOWER SYMBOLISM:
- spring: apple blossoms, tulips - the apple blossom is a quintessential spring flower, and thus symbolize the arrival of spring. spring is a season of change, which ahiru/princess tutu is a force of, instigating change in her friends and unravelling the story around her. the flowers below her are tulips, and there are many meanings to tulips depending on the colour, due to their ubiquitous nature. i narrowed on one, and intended for them to symbolize happiness. princess tutu's pose is one in which that is open, inviting, and warm - reflecting her nurturing nature in the series, and her willingness to help others achieve happiness.
- summer: deadly nightshade flower, yellow rose - i chose for rue/princess kraehe to symbolize a fiery summer's night instead of the typical dazzling heat of a summer's day, a rather bold and unusual choice. the warmth of sunshine didn't quite fit, as the character is quite dramatic and passionate, with her intentions often hidden in shadow. next, the deadly nightshade - atropa belladonna - has a lot of mythological associations, a lot to do with poisoning, as the flower is toxic. the flowers bloom at night (another reason why i picked a nighttime backdrop for "summer") and also outwardly match rue's dark design scheme, as the cherry on top. yellow roses, at the bottom of her frame, are the archetypal flower depicting jealousy (as with many yellow flowers are), and at one point in the story, rue only wished for her own happiness at the misfortune of others.
- autumn: douglas fir needles, orange calla lily - autumn is another season of change - although much more tumultuous, as this season is traditionally taken to prepare for a long winter ahead - fitting for fakir as the role of the storyteller. the douglas fir is not a flower of course, but is a tree - with many different parts of this tree offering many benefits in advance of the winter season. i wanted the versatile nature of the douglas fir to reflect on fakir's dependable personality. next up, the calla lily is a flower with a dual meaning - on one hand you have life, on the other you have death. a storyteller quite literally can grant both at the tip of their fingers.
- winter: birch tree, snowdrop - winter is a rather still and unchanging season, a lull in the passage of time. this symbolizes mytho's passive nature at the start of the series, especially with his doleful pose here, as if almost in hibernation. to contrast, mytho is perched on the branches of a birch tree, which means new beginnings and renewal - as mytho is one of the characters that undergo the most change throughout the series (i'd argue the most?), regaining pieces of his heart. under mytho's frame is the snowdrop flower - and if you've read my witch hat atelier: seasons piece symbolisms, one of the snowdrop's meanings is rebirth, with connotations to the bible, bringing hope, when all had forsaken eve. the snowdrop is one of the first flowers to bloom even when the snow has not yet fully melted, further echoing mytho as an analogy for rebirth.
#princess tutu#ptutu#ahiru#fakir#mytho#rue (princess tutu)#fakir (princess tutu)#mytho (princess tutu)#ahiru (princess tutu)#my art#im not much of a painter but painting the curtains was kinda fun... got lost in the sauce every single time i tackled that area#so i think i understand why people paint now#im free from con deadlines for a little while so i might try my hand at oc stuff...#and i want to get better at my sketch/doodle style too bc admittedly it takes way too long to draw anything and i want to change that#which is why ive been doing the lineless style for sticker sheets and keeping them pretty basic and rough!! im happy with em#i only know how to 'complete' drawings really so . lot of sketching ahead this summer hopefully..#artists on tumblr#illustration
