#I saw the original piece and was like “omg I have to draw this”

[threecheersfornonsense]

decided to draw this iconic image:

[kozachenko]

[Click image for better quality]

I FIGURED OUT A WAY TO FUCKING MAKE THE IMAGE SMALLER FOR POSTING ON TUMBLR WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE ACTUAL QUALITY OF THE IMAGE OH MY GOD

Ok so, what I did is go into the clip studio paint file, make a new file, copy and paste the group in the original file, merge everything, get rid of the extra stuff outside of the canvas, and then make the flattened image smaller and crop the canvas. Once you have that, export it and you're done. This helps maintain the actual quality of the image and also helps shrink the file size down to something actually postable (if anyone has a better way of doing this please tell me)

[Edit]: Ok I guess posting something to Tumblr just naturally compresses the image a bit more somehow because I'm looking at it now and zooming in too much makes it a bit blurry so I'm still gonna have to futz around with image quality for future pieces oof

Artist's Note:

I'm so glad I figured out a way to do this because I like working on a big canvas so I can get as much detail in as I possibly can. Only problems are how laggy it gets while drawing lol.

I had an idea for a drawing with Reimu and Zanmu because I really like thinking about their potential dynamic a lot. I also wanted an excuse to draw Zanmu again but in my normal rendering style because last time I drew her she was in my more sketchy style with generally flat colours so I wanted to draw her again. Speaking of, looking at the sketch for this is a jumpscare that I never enjoy seeing, like, man am I glad I didn't use those for my final piece.

Also about her spear. I was originally gonna make it like the ones she had in game, but it kinda threw off the whole piece. It was too big, too blue, and too flat, so I just went "fuck it" and gave her a different one instead. My headcanon justifying this is that the ones she uses in game are for danmaku battles whereas in any other fight she just uses a proper yari, or she still uses the yari and just makes it all glowy to power it up, maybe both lol. I pulled as much inspiration as I could from Sengoku era spears, and even put in some blue into the decorative part of the spear and also added a little skull to pay tribute to the original spear. Also, in my research I saw some art of izanami and izanagi making japan and saw that the yari izanagi has had a little decorative tassley thingy on it so I took some inspo from that and just made it one of Zanmu's tassles (Idk when that art was from or if the spear was still accurate to Sengoku period Japan but hey, probably the same reasons Eirin puts little bow ties on her arrows, it's just for personalization purposes).

I love rendering hair and clothes so much omg, while I like the super curly hair Zanmu, the longer, wavier hair suits her better for this drawing (I imagine it only does that like how Ghibli characters hair moves when they feel angry lol). I love making Zanmu's hair all messy and crazy, as well as giving her grey hairs, this woman has aged like a fine wine. Also, if the hem on the ends of her sleeves, top of her shirt, and her pants look like gold to you, that's because it is! It's fairly light so she's not collapsing under the weight, but it's gold! (I don't care how impractical it is, it's just cool). Not the undershirt though, it's made of a gold fabric. I had a cute idea with Reimu's hair to make it have a red shine to it. I also changed up Reimu's outfit so it isn't just a blob of red. I like it a lot when Reimu's skirt and outfit is segmented into different layers, so I wanted to incorporate that.

I tried to draw their hands differently as well, but IDK how noticeable that is. Also, I am super happy with how the side profiles for the two of them turned out, I used to struggle a lot with how to make the side profile of a character actually look like the character, so I'm really happy that they actually look like themselves.

Also added in the tree and rocks in the background as an homage to Zanmu's character art in Touhou 19, just because I was getting kinda stumped on what to do with the background lol.

In terms of a story idea with Reimu and Zanmu, idk why but the potential plotline of Zanmu wanting to ascend to godhood is so fascinating to me. Like, it is very possible that if she just convinced everyone she was a god (which would be very easy for her to do), she would become one in a heartbeat. Also, if she were to become a god, with her ability to return stuff to nothing, could she hypothetically get similar abilities to (Jojo Part 5 spoiler btw) GER? Like, idk about the death timeloop stuff, but the concept has been haunting me every night as I have been trying to find loopholes in GER's ability for a while now ( for no reason in particular). Back to the main topic, I imagine that she would probably tell Reimu that if she were to become a god she would take over the Hakurei shrine since the god there might as well be dead, and Reimu just says to her, "Over my dead body bitch." Like, I have no idea how to summarize their dynamic but like, it's the type of hero-villain dynamic where the phrase "We're not so different, you and I" would definitely be a phrase said during a fight. I think that if another IN style game were to release, Reimu and Zanmu would be in a team together. They could also have an interesting mentor and pupil kind of dynamic. Can you tell that Zanmu has been charging my mind rent these part few months? Like, instead of living in my head rent free, she kinda just uno reversed the whole situation and now she's the one charging me rent. What happens if I get evicted from my own brain? Actually, scratch that, I don't think I wanna know.

omg, i’m learning to crochet and i’m just imagining crocheting spence a scarf and him wearing it all the time

JUST IMAGINE

he’d be so touched that you made something for him with your bare hands

it would be one his favourite items, ever (folded neatly in his top draw when he’s not wearing it)

it wouldn’t matter if a few chains are wonky, he’d love it either way

i just imagine derek and emily taking the piss out of him for wearing it all the time. oh but penelope absolutely loves it!

anyways- yeh i’m crocheting

- 🦕 xx

written super fast cus i got inspired and not proof read, sorry guys

also i have not crocheted or have ever shown interest in crocheting my whole life so everything i made up so plz ignore the mistakes 😓enjoy!

scarf. spencer reid

spencer reid x fem!reader

to tell you that you’re good at crocheting would be lying to you but you don’t think that spencer is lying at all, because of course for a man who knows everything about the workings of the world, he doesn’t know what a good crochet scarf looks like.

originally it was a prototype of yours, your first attempt after watching a youtube tutorial twice but spencer insists on having it, saying that it's too much yarn to go to waste and when you said that you can just pull it out, he didn't sit around to hear. he carries it around like a trophy of some sort, making a point of wearing it everywhere he goes.

your attempts of trying to tell him to knock it off, promising that you'll make another one that looks more decent but spencer says he likes the uneven lines, likes how the fluff rubs against his skin and how it keeps him warmer than a normal scarf. you think--scratch that, you know that it's all bullshit, but spencer's one immovable object to go against. getting ready to go to work together used to be your favorite part of the day but now it's just embarrassing.

embarrassing would be a wrong word. more like frustrating.

"you crocheted it in my favorite color yn," spencer defends the ugly scarf like it's his child, throwing it around his shoulder and wrapping it snugly around his neck. the purple looks absolutely offensive against the beige of his thrifted sweater, but his eyes melting and lips pouting at you made the look work. kind of. it's still fucking ugly.

"that's 'cause you bought the yarn for me spence," you roll your eyes exasperatedly. the scarf's been a conversation topic every morning since spencer saw it sitting sadly in your closet and fell in love with it. considering how spencer's entire wardrobe is made of old man clothes and unconventional colors, you would understand the appeal of something looking wonky and strange, but the scarf is a stretch.

to be honest, you think it's endearing, spencer's tainted fashion sense. it makes him look softer, heartier, like a welcoming little plush bear with his wispy curls and pink cheeks and gentle voice and worn cardigans. the scarf does fit all his criteria for a good piece of clothing so you should've saw it coming that he would hold on to it like his lifeline and you would tolerate it if he didn't go to every single person he sees throughout the day and boast about the maker of the scarf and you shrinking in the corner as he talks about you. morgan was the first to laugh about it, followed by emily.

"got the hands to diffuse a bomb but not one to crochet a decent scarf, huh?" morgan would say as he walks past your cubicle, a cheshire grin on his face. emily would chuckle. you would snap at him, "shut the hell up morgan," and then sigh. because what the hell. the scarf is so fucking ugly but spencer parades it like the queen's necklace.

you get better at crocheting--it helps you think and you would do it on the plane to new cases sometimes and threaten to stab emily if she makes fun of you--and eventually, you finish crocheting a duplicate for spencer's monstrosity of a purple scarf. this one is more in the shape of a scarf instead of one wacky-looking pasta noodle, with straight chains and the shade of purple on this one is cuter; dark and elegant. you couldn't wait to show it to spencer, couldn't wait for him to finally throw away the crusty scarf he loves so much.

the new one sits, folded neatly, on the table on his side of the bed. for days. winter rolls around and spencer wears it to fucking sleep.

"give that poor scarf a break reid," emily comments. spencer chews on his lip as he flicks through files, silent and unbothered, fingers unconsciously running through the bumpy chains, back and forth. you mumble your agreement and when he pays no attention to you like he did emily, too immerse in his work.

after work that day, you and spencer take a walk around the city, bodies huddled closely together. the first snowflake falls and spencer catches it on his finger, shoving his finger closely to your face, proud of himself. his grin is hidden underneath the purple scarf and for the first time, you don't mind.

"it melted," you tell him and spencer drops his hand, flicking at his index finger disappointedly.

"i can't wait for it to snow," he says, looking up at the grey sky.

"i can't wait for that scarf to decompose," you say, just speaking off the top of your head.

"i like the scarf," spencer quips, mood clashing yours.

"i know you do baby," you sigh, defeated. spencer's frozen fingers grasp yours and runs his fingers over the bumps of your knuckles. being so close you can smell him, soft and sweet like vanilla and old cotton and comfort. "why don't you ever wear the other one?"

spencer shrugs. "just doesn't feel the same." he adds. "and i like this purple better."

I'll update this post when i commission my friend, it might take a while tho but stay tuned!

[baddybaddyadardaddy]

So unfortunately the image quality went down, and hopefully you’ll be viewing it from your phone as it looks better than on a computer haha. Also with brightness all the way up. Might help. I did these edits on my phone last night after re-reading chapter 9 & 10 and so got inspired. Saw an anon talk about the balcony scene and so that’s kinda what the gold ‘window’ is supposed to represent. And 3 different colourings because why not. The blue one especially I tried to emulate that LotR blueish-elven glow you see in the movies. And also because of the balcony scene being at night.

Then you have Adar’s sword in the middle, and I managed to turn it gold. I’m so glad someone out there posted the concept art for it! I don’t remember who posted it originally though.

And then the vine/flowery circle around the sword is supposed to be Mirdania, her light/Aura around him and to represent her ring! It’s not a very original design choice, I’ve seen somethings similar Lord of the Rings/ fantasy concept-wise. I did try to get golden foil hair art for the middle but that was a bit difficult. Maybe another time lol.

And lastly I put the name of the fic at the bottom, though because of the image quality doesn’t look as nice as before. But I think you can still read it at least, so I guess that counts.

P.s (all of these designs I did not draw myself, & some are bits of pieces I’ve seen on very old books that I spliced together! And the background is a mockup i’d found. Though I don’t know if it’s real or AI tbh :/ hope not.)

Hope you like it! 🖤

UM, OMG?!?!?!

This is LOVELY?!?!?!

I'm OBSESSED. The gold is so striking but I also love the silvery blue treatment, too, because that it EXACTLY the color palette I imagine for the unseen world!!

SERIOUSLY SO INCREDIBLE, thank you for putting so much time and thought and effort into this, it's just amazing!

[mikuyuuss]

Waaaah~! Thank you for reblogging my ask game, Unni!

Since you're open to answering questions, can I ask 4, 18, and 20 for Akari?

AHHH thanks for the ask as always Erika!!

4. Why did you give them the name they have? Whats the in universe reason for their name?

Im gonna be honest IM BAD AT NAMING THINGS 😭😭 So I happen to choose Akari because it's a common girl's name and it sounds pretty (surely if it's a common name it won't have a weird meaning RIGHT???!!!) At first I was scared bc apparently the "aka" in akari can also mean red which like, Akari's obviously not a red girly 😂

But her name actually ended up having a beautiful meaning to it (Thank God) The "明" in her name stands for "light" or "brilliance" I believe. Coincidentally, I also have "明" in my name too. I believe it's associated with smartness (at least in chinese culture) So I believe Akari was given that name by her parents because she is the light in their life, and they want her to grow up as a brilliant person.

18. Imagine meeting your oc what would you imagine you'd say to them or do with them

It's gonna be SO messy and complicated if she knew that I created her. In all seriousness I don't think Akari would like me at all. Anyways that aside.. If things were a little simpler, I'd love to just hang out with her, play dress up and do cosplays and other fun stuffs. I could give her words of encouragement about the things that I wish I could tell myself too, but in reality I think I will just go :

She can do it because she's fast and I'm as slow as a turtle.

20. Share a random piece of trivia about the creation of your oc (scrapped idea or changes you didnt expect to make)

This is her old design:

Initially, her vibes was a lot darker and edgier, but somehow she got softer and pinker the more I drew her.

Tbh Akari looks way cooler here, but her design feels a little messy. There were many cool ideas but nothing came out of it. In the end she's just kinda there. I originally wasn't gonna ship her with Giyuu bc I was a giyuu x shinobu shipper back then and thought they would be canon XD (I just prefer them as bros now) It doesnt help that I was so busy with school and its the pandemic, so my creative juices were little to none. But one idea that has always stayed is Akari having a good relationship with the girls, especially Mitsuri. After that I forgot about her...

Then I took a year off university, so more time to draw. I was on my way to moving on from kny, until I saw the swordsmith teaser and was like "Okay this show helped me get through pandemic, why not post some art to pay tribute at least." one art became more and suddenly I realized I wanna revisited Akari again bc omg this oc has so much wasted potential I need to fix this 😱 Guess I wont be moving on from kny soon 🤡

I thought about different breathing styles, illusion, star breathing etc. I decided that Akari is a battle seamstress character so I thought of silk breathing bc you know silk but I was like: "ok shes a seamstress who does seamstress powers?? thats it?? she needs something more specific" Eventually I settled for Camellia flowers bc I think its perfect for her in every way.

[gambeque]

i just remembered a piece of TOH fanart i saw that was really fucking good and there was a bit with lumity in it and one of them said something like "youre such a dork" and the other said "yeah but im your dork" and that line has stuck with me ever since and i THINK you were the artist but i dont remember. if you are in fact the reason ive stayed up til 2am this week do you still have that drawing and could you post it here because ough im feeling emotions and cant find it ty c: im gonna go ask astrolavas now because if it wasnt you i think it mighta been them

omg is it this post?? the line is similar to what ur saying. it's been so long since ive seen that art lol my origins

[mintmoth]

Hi! I'm a super big fan of your art, everything is so pretty and amazing and I just wanna consume it every time I see one of your comics or illustrations. I just wanted to ask (cause I looked around a lil but didn't see anything covering this, if I missed it so sorry haha) what art program/tablet do you use to draw? Also, do you have any tips for beginning artists? I'm trying to get into drawing but I'm not too sure where to start TwT

AAAAA 😭😭 you're too sweet!! Thank you so much!

Also omg personally I use an iPad with the program/app procreate on it to draw!

I'm gonna put everything else under a read more since I got a little wordy oops

Honestly if I were to offer any beginning artist tips I think the biggest one is to just have fun. I know it sounds silly but really like just have fun and don't worry about what you're drawing being perfect or exactly what you had in mind or anything like that. As long as you're having fun and doing your best and not stressing about what you're creating you'll find yourself wanting to draw and create more- and it's within time and persistence that your skills develop

Also while it's good to draw every day since you do need to actively draw more to improve, don't stress about making sure you do! Just go at your own pace and draw when you feel like it!

I think I stress both of these points since they're things I've been working on and struggling with off and on too, realizing I don't have to be constantly drawing and that what I do draw doesn't have to be perfect, and honestly my comics have been a great exercise in letting myself make things "imperfect"

Relating to actual drawing skill sets, I do think that doing figure drawing is incredibly important since learning anatomy is crucial to drawing, even if it's not the most fun thing. Really if you see someone in a cool pose- typically real life photos- if you just try to see the shapes the human body makes and just loosely sketch a messy version of where their body shapes are can help. You don't have to break them down super basically like some tutorials do, unless that helps you! Everyone draws differently so there's no Right Way to do anything. Here's some examples from some I did a while back! I used highlighters since it made it so I couldn't erase, so I had to be more purposeful in my lines, but you can use any medium you want!

And don't worry if it doesn't look exactly like the photo you're drawing from- you're learning!

Another thing is that references are your friend, looking at things and figuring out how to draw them is incredibly helpful so don't be afraid to look up anything you're trying to draw for help

Something I used to do specifically for learning, was looking at photos or even pieces of art I thought were cool and then trying to draw something how I saw it, to understand someone else's use of shape and form. These were things I kept in sketchbooks to just figure out how to draw things like hands and feet and legs, using real life and other's works as a reference to teach myself

Then later while drawing on my own, if I couldn't figure out how to draw something I would go back to my own references and practices to help myself by using my own referenced art as a reference- here's a whole page of hands I drew a couple years ago while looking at photos of hands and also some art (uhhh I believe it was from GinjaNinjaOwO on youtube- if you DO post anything you've referenced poses or elements from, be sure to credit the original artist you've taken reference from!)

You can see I've got a lot of mistakes and scribbles and wonky forms- because I was just trying to understand the shapes and practice drawing hands on my own time, this wasn't anything I had ever drawn with the intention of posting lmao

But! You can do this for any kind of thing you're trying to learn, from arms to facial shapes to hands- just learning what kind of shapes and forms bodies or anything else you're trying to draw take

As far as the side of what kind of stuff to USE to draw, really I'd say to not be afraid of pencil and paper, I know digital art can have a nice and clean polish to it, but especially if you're learning it's really nice to just have a sketchbook (any kind work, just find paper you like! I've been using dot grid notebooks lately!) and a pencil or pen or really anything you feel comfortable with, that you can just loosely draw with and use whenever you like

For digital hardware while I do LOVE the iPad, I know they're pricier and not everyone jives with them, so I'd recommend drawing tablets by the brand Huion, since I've had a great time with them in the past when I used my laptop with Paint Tool Sai, which I also highly recommend as a drawing program, but keep in mind you can use anything! I have a friend who makes AMAZING works just using mspaint lmao

Honestly! In the end, like I said, just focus on having fun and drawing things that you want to without worry for being perfect or 100% anatomically accurate or anything. There's fundamentals that are the best base to build off of but never stress too much about it. Have fun creating! 💙💜

OMG I LOVE THE WAY YOU DRAW <33333

can bee actually fly with those wings or can he do smth else with it?

Awwwh thank you! feel free to check out my instagram for better pieces <3

Yeah, of course he can fly! Here is my original idea where the Part-Insecticon!Bee AU originates from- you have it all written in there. It's where he doesn't turn full-insecticon.

In addition to that idea alone: he loves to zoom around the plant and loves that he can reach anything he wants at any time. No more restrictions by putting stuff on high shelves! Since he didn't fly for so long he had a thing called Grounder Disease(flier thing, read more on that later in post), he had to learn how to fly all over again- good thing it came to him almost naturally so he didn't crash much.

He's very protective/paranoid over them, if he uses his wings it's for a short time before he sheathes them again. He does fly at least once a day like Ratchet recommended so the disease won't come up again. He only uses them inside the plant, he's scared that if he uses them outside something might happen and he'll lose them again.

Other than that he really likes to show them off- only when in safe areas tho and for a short time. His favorite thing to do it turn all the lights off and have one bright lamp he can stand in front of and watch everyone being in awe as his wings literally glow and glimmer cuz of the light behind.

For the Part-Insecticon!Bumblebee AU: originally his wings got burned away since it was "wrong for autobots to have these"- really it was just a very abusive caretaker in the orphanage he was growing up in. You have it fully written in the posts i linked- so anyway, he ran away and grew up. There is a thing among fliers that if they don't fly or use their wings for too long they start to lose control over them, it's called a Grounder Disease- because Bee couldn't fly and had completely given up of trying to do anything with his wing cuz "what's the point" the disease has completely developed and he lost all feeling and control in his broken wings; he often forgets they are even there.

When Blackarachnia inject the strange toxin into him his insecticon take it instead and start working- he gets all sleepy and hungry all the time and Ratchet doesn't know what is happening. One night they just find a metallic cocoon on Bee's berth and after 3 or so weeks of looking after it, he hatches as a fluffy and temporarily-slimy half-insecticon. His exposed protoform is covered in bee fluff and his glossa is way longer- but the most important part; his wings have regenerated. They are whole again. As much as he is confused by this event he is so happy about them being fixed. He shows them off any chance he gets and loves zooming around not being restricted to the ground. He'll do the lamp trick i mentioned earlier for sure. Also he can make organic-and-cybertronian-friendly honey.

I imagine at one point in either scenarios he gets injured by Waspinator- he ripped his subspace off to humiliate Bee for having broken wings and Bee has to suffer the exposure after cuz his protoform was damaged and Ratchet needs to wait for it to heal before doing the welding. So the first time he comes out of medbay he goes straight to his room despite everyone trying to talk to him- they all saw his back and his reamins of wings then. Ratchet clarified they were remains fo wings and told them to not talk to him about it.

For the recovery Bee had a blanket draped over his shoulers and back and would get very defensive if someone accidentally made it slide off. (stepping on it, sittiling on it when he wanted to get up, etc) He was also sadder. They knew Bee was hurting, both physically and mentally but they couldn't do anything about it.

*Insert scenario of either ProwlBee or (decepticon to autobot)BlitzBee reacting and comforting Bee about his broken wings. Send ask if you wanna know either of the reactions.*

So Bee would either: A) have his backplate fixed up and nothing would happen until either of the scenarios with Allspark of cocoon happened and he got his wings back. B) be helped by his loved one- at one point they mentioned physical therapy to get the Grounder Disease to ease up- i think it would be possible even in such advanced stage. So Bee would give it a shot and after 2 month of everyday massages, injections and exercise he could flutter his wing-nubs. Then either Allspark or cocoon scenario would happen and he gets his wings back completely.

I hope you're satisfied with the answer! I really like talking about Part-Insecticon!Bee cuz it's just so fun. <3

[alwida10]

I heard the show isn’t doing well as much as season 1, I mean so many people who don’t like it,aren’t watching .

All theses writers should have made it about Loki rather than time travel stuff. I mean so much of the character is not yet explained like what happened between 2011-2012

How hard was it for them to watch atleast 6-7 movies he starred in. You know manga writers put these hack writers to shame, they build a beautiful consistent world without info dumping. Best eg: one piece, Oda was able to create a consistent for the past 26 years and it’s the best selling manga in the world right now.

The audacity to call whatever the series is ‘art’ is really embarrassing. Don’t make a mockery out of it. I have seen better shows explain free will.

(Date of ask: 5.11.2023)

Omg, yes! So much yes! And thank you for letting me know I was not the only one seeing this already during airing. I’m so incredibly sorry I never answered your ask until now, but I looked at it so often.

And yes. It’s such a pain and a shame how little interest the writers had in him. Kate’s comment on her little lotr fanfic (something like “I wanted to draw readers in so I added a slash pairing”) made me wonder if she saw Loki at any time as something more than means to an end. And don’t get me started on Waldron. I’m surprised he managed to find&replace all the original names in his horrible original script with Loki et al.

And yes. The manga writers I know have work ethics. I can’t even say “better” work ethics, because that would imply Waldron & co would be familiar with the concept, which I doubt.

Btw, I finally got around to say something about the success of season 2.

Welcome Home Website (Part 1)

ITS OUUTTTTT IM SO HYPED IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

IM SO EXCITED TIME TO EXPLORE AND LOOK AT IT

spoilers(??) under the cut !!

OK SO first off im just on the first page and already the little animation of someone (Wally?) drawing Home is new

A LOT OF NEW THINGS SO EXCITING !!! love the little Wally sitting on the website updates !!

as you can see, i've highlighted that little section underneath the artwork of Wally sitting on a rock

and thats because i noticed that the text is blocked after 'about the' and wanted to highlight it and copy paste it to get the text behind the gif (bc im p sure its the gif of the spinning home thats blocking it)

"learn about the vibrant world around them and take part in nonsensical fun!"

i have no idea if that was on purpose or if thats what it said originally (its been a while since ive seen the website ok?) but thats interesting OH I KNOW HOW TO CHECK

ok so i went to Night Mind's video on Welcome Home because it was about an old version of the site, and yep nothing about that has changed besides the fact that 'vibrant world' is now covered

is this important or could it just be a glitch? no idea but i'll let it go for now

onto the more obvious new changes

alright so i read through the website update, and the 'y' on 'You' in the first sentence of the second paragraph is capitalized AND in a different font last time we had to look out for letters that were out of place, so im taking note of this

though it may just to highlight 'you' as in us, the viewers/audience/people interacting with the site

also!! a little ladybug thing is coming from behind that counter (which i assume is counting how many people have visited the site) and its cute! and new and i wonder if its important to anything?

is it just me or is the background different (i dont think it is but it feels more saturated to me (maybe its just been a while since ive seen the site tho LOL))

the telephone is interesting too but i think we'll find out more of it in the exhibition page

i'll be going through the different pages from left to right

OK SO I WAS JUST READING THRU THE 'Welcome Home!' PAGE TO SEE IF ANYTHING CHANGED AND I SAW ANOTHER LIL BUG

AND I OPENED THE IMAGE CUZ I WANTED TO SEE THE FULL GIF LIKE THE LADYBUG

BUT IT BROUGHT ME TO THIS INSTEAD ????

well now im afraid

i will save that for later i will finish looking through the rest of this page um

so. the W on 'Wally' is still messed up as you can see but not sure if thats still relevant since that was a clue for last time yk

so the restored art pieces are the same, nothing's changed

this is new though

i can click on the tulips and after the bug im a little afraid

by clicking on the yellow tulip

by clicking on the blue and red tulips

audio !! neat

the names of the tabs are interesting, i wonder if u put them in a certain order it will make a sentence? like 'will you help me' or something?? will have to find more secrets i guess

ok so now i will watch 'answer' (im afraid)

ITS FRANK AND BARNABY FIGHTING IM SO ENTERTAINED AND THIS IS SO FUNNY

also !! omg they have voices now thats so cool !!

i have no idea what it is im looking at, but it must be somewhere in Frank's garden right?

OK SO I COUNTED THE FIGURES IN THE VIDEO AND THERES 8 OF THEM AND THERE'S 8 NEIGHBORS AND I FEEL LIKE THATS IMPORRTANT not sure what it means but !! still

now the end of the video has my interests peaked, because when Frank asks (who i assume is) us and the audio just glitches out? first a deep voice replies to Frank but i cant make out what its saying

also then the glitch at the end, i think its supposed to loop with the glitch at the beginning

like it sounds connected

oh also some amendment to the figures there's actually 9 of them one is just at the edge of the camera and u cant see it

ok next for the audios

so 'Help' is Wally, which is interesting

nothing too helpful(aha) but just him realizing that we can hear him i guess? 'What are you waiting for?' the answers obv/j

Wally's laugh is so cute

'will' huh he talks about eyes, he said thats what an eye looks like, his are black and asks what color is mine/ours

it might just be me but the middle of the record kinda looks like an eye? or maybe im just crazy LOL

ok now onto 'The Neighborhood' page

so first off, i can click the gif of Home surrounded by flowers at the top

oh wait it just brings u back to the first/home page LMAOAOAOOA

another bug

clicked it and another video called 'answer' and its probably another video in Frank's garden

OOOOH AUDIO

SHE HAS A VOICE AND ITS SO CUTE AND IT FITS SO WELL I LOVE HER

also interesting thing to note! the colored part of the records are different for each character, Julie's is pink and Sally's orange

i point this out because there were records for the 'Help' and 'will' audio, they were broken but the color was red

and red is associated with Wally (and Home too) so yeah thats all

anyways Sally's voice fits her so well too!! i love it, actually kinda reminds me of a character from Star Darlings LOL

Poppy's voice is cute! has old lady vibes

another bug, surprisingly on Eddie's character page, which is interesting

LOVE HIS VOICE IT FITS SO WELL TOO 'When it comes to friendship, I always deliver!' ur so cute Eddie

HELP ME HOWDY'S VOICE????? IT FITS SO WELL TOO????? so old-timey announcer voice

ofc Barnaby's voice sample is him making a joke. ofc it is. also his voice reminds me a LOT of Sans from Undertale so

actually now that i think abt it Frank's voice reminds me of Papyrus from Undertale,, n the fight they had has similar vibes to Sans and Papyrus,,, well anyways

tbh in my head he always had more of a Squidward voice, like more nasally(?) but his voice fits really well too!

everyone already knows what Wally sounds like, but wow hearing it in a not-creepy environment is always cool

anyways. the flower is a gif and i can click on it so more creepy stuff now

hm called 'will' again which is interesting but the W is capitalized

the so below page is the same so time to check out the new stuff!

starting with the bug from the bottom of The Neighborhood page

so i was wrong its actually Frank and Poppy baking which is cute! love their friendship BUT Frank's voice got glitched out at the end when Frank said 'Wally' which makes me wanna re-listen to the first one

OH MY GOD OK SO THE VOICE WASNT A REPLY, IT WAS FRANK'S VOICE GLITCHING OUT ON 'WALLY' OMG

so all these videos are from Wally's perspective???

yep so the bug from Eddie's page leads to a video of Frank and Eddie talking about a bug that's in the post office!! made me especially giddy because i ship Frank x Eddie LOL

they are so cute!! so cute !!!!!

also, i've only seen 3 but it's interesting how all these videos are of Frank interacting with the other neighbors, then the video ending with his voice glitching out on 'Wally'

i think that there's more bugs and videos for the rest of the neighbors, but i'll go looking for them later! im gonna eat now and i wanna take a break to absorb all this stuff

OH I JUST REALIZED WHY THE VIDEOS ARE CALLED 'ANSWER' BC THEY END W FRANK ASKING WALLY A QUESTION, SO THIS IS HIS ANSWER?? OR SOMETHING ?? IT LEADS INTO AN ANSWER???

i have no idea but i'll ponder on it more later bye bye!

He's a biter, you know.

details and un-shaded version (and also lineart version) under the cut:

I meant to draw this for peterfel week and made the sketch in like, literally February but didn't get around to finally finishing it until now… lol… well it's done now!!!

i dunno if i love how the dark shaded version turned out...

These are my base colors, but I guess I just felt like spending a couple hours with color overlays and fucking around to make the final moody blue version lol

as an aside the bokeh is a brush by Bunabi/Eriart which you can find as a freebie on her patreon - i saw it and was like omg wait i could use that

...the buildings are also brushes (well the windows are)

anyway here's the lineart

I also used a chain brush of course cause I ain't fuckin drawin all of that lmao —I used a brush from this set, they're pretty nice

😻 there she is oh i also used a diamond stamp 😂 the lesson to learn about me is if i can use a brush for something that would otherwise be tedious and it looks decent i will because i am lazy. unless i only have like a Single instance then I'll usually just draw it but when I have more than one it's either brushes or copy pasting lol

Felicia's outfit is a mix of sources, inspired by both her original costume, with the furry chest (in this case unzippable) as well as obviously more modern sexy latex outfits and so on... but i did NOT give her cleavage to her bellybutton cause I think that's dumb. though. to be fair in this case it would be more justifiable 😂

i love drawing her long long hair (angel medina's fault tbh) (sensational spider-man my beloved...)

rawr 😼

he's trying very hard not to laugh 😂 but he's into it, he's having fun

the muzzle ended up being like multiple designs from photo refs mashed into one so idk... how realistic it is other than the nose-forehead piece which was the same on both my refs. admittedly it looks a little loose but 🤷 still looks nice 😏

claws 😏

I also drew Peter in the classic suit, which I don't normally do, but I was doing more of the comic book look here instead of my own AUs and so on lol

he broke the cuffs so he could touch her butt 🙄 god peter don't you know how much real leather BDSM gear costs (don't tell him)

this new pen tablet is a lot of fun, it's way more comfortable to draw on and the increased pressure sensitivity makes it a lot easier to draw my favorite thing to draw: peter's arm hair 😂😂

the only weird thing is if I press down medium or harder while I'm drawing it... creaks? which is very funny, my old pen did not do that. it really is weirdly like using a felt tip pen or a very fine point marker. except it's plastic.

shoes. it may be classic style but I can never resist giving Peter sporty soles lol I know some people hate that but I just think it looks nice and I can handwave the sticking away as electrostatic forces or something. negative charge. electron transfer. blah blah blah. (in my AU i decided Peter has both electrostatic sticking that encompasses his whole body and ALSO adhesive secretions so if he gets his hands and feet bare i guess he has double the sticking power lol)

shaded versions just cause

tits

i really like drawing latex lol

also if you're wondering why i didn't give peter a boner to match his red face well i have an out and it's that long ago i decided he wears a dance belt under the costume so as not to inflict the outline of his dick and balls on the people of NYC on a daily basis, and dance belts are first of all designed as mentioned to smooth out and hide that outline but also you wear them with everything pointing north and the waistband is like 5 inches wide so i don't think he has to worry about his little buddy escaping LOL (though I'm sure it's possible it would be more visible... i didn't bother trying to google it lol)

really i just didn't feel like trying to draw a boner 😂

[mandiemegatron]

[jackienautism]

YOURE SO RIGHT ABOUT ASHLEY YEAH. ud characters dr kinlists (in my heart):

sam: kyoko probably. maybe mahiru also? i feel like she'd definitely like mahiru a lot. i think she'd like both aoi and sakura but i don't know that she'd kin them necessarily

ashley: you are so correct about mikan. yeah.

emily: celeste maybe?? drawing a blank. i don't know if she'd kin actually (at least not that she'd admit to) but she'd probably really like kyoko.

jess: kaede and aoi maybe? maybe makoto too??

josh: komaeda i guess. i feel like i've gotta kin assign him komaeda.

mike: idk like mondo maybe?? oh wait. kaito for sure.

chris: hajime and hiro maybe??

matt: feel like he'd be a kiibo guy. also nekomaru potentially. i think he'd like nekomaru a lot for sure. sakura too probably.

beth would kin mahiru. not sure about hannah honestly?

THANK YOU<3 i try my absolute hardest

I FUCKIN,. LOVE SAM KYOKO SO MUCH.... i feel like she'd def like most if not all of the girls. she just seems loike that type of person. i totally agree w/ her liking mahiru / aoi / sakura specifically though... in my mind i was thinking like ? makoto for her kin jkdfgjfgd it makes sense in my head i promise. i dont think id be able explain it necessarily atm since i dont rly think abt makoto much, but i saw a DR art piece awhile back and it reminded me sooo much of sam. in terms of like. being a "normal" guy having a shit ton of emotions and Huge expectations placed upon them

thank you so much again<3 dfjknd

omg you're so right abt emily and kinning... she'd def be in the same boat as like kaitlyn, in terms of. thinking kinning is dumb or something. but if someone like idk ash or sam (mainly sam) ASSIGNED her a character... then she'd accept it. that or like you said, she would never admit to it dkfjgdg I WAS THINKING HOWEVER. BYAKUYA MAYBE? RATHER UNFORTUNATELY? bc i was thinking that emma would kin celeste... due to their whole like acting and pretending to be someone they're "not." emily and sam can bond over being Kyoko Fans

I LIKE KAEDE AND AOI JESS..... but like. what about. i dont know the full extent of the V3 characters as ive talked about before but like. what about miu jess?

NO YOURE RIGHT ABOUT JOSH. IT MAKES SENSE IN MY BRAIN. JOSH WOULD DEF KIN NAGITO

ive always been stuck on mike... kaito seems like a good fit though... i originally was thinking shuichi bu t ? once again im not too familiar w/ the V3 characters. im sure it'll come to me once i play the game. thank u for planting kaito mike in my mind though :eyeballs:

CHRIS WOULD DEF KIN HIRO.. I FEEL THAT SO HARD. I CAME TO THAT REALIZATION THE OTHER DAY WHILE REWATCHING SOME DR CLIPS LOL

also really stuck on matt tbh... but i LOVE kiibo matt.. and even nekomaru makes sense 2 me...

LVOE MAHIRU BETH. THAT MAKES SENSE 2 ME AS WELL... also stuck on hannah... but on our parts to be fair we like. dont get much of her ): it'll come to us eventually though i feel it

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WAS A LOT OFFUN EHEHE and it gave me the chance to share my own DR kin hcs 😭😭 HOPE YOU HAVE A GFOOD DAY ANON !!!!!

[castielsparkle]

hii angelsdean here, i saw you reblogged my art ask game so i wanted to send you a few! palette, inspiration, crayon

omg angelsdean hi!! thank u so much, and thank u for making it its very cool!! ^_^ sorry about the late response, was working on a piece actually lol!

palette: ooh, this ones tough, im like split right in the middle with two choices hehe. i quite love using varying shades and hues of blues! but most of my art ends up being kind of a peachy, almost rosy orange-pink-purple kind of palette :P it always starts out very blue but if i fully finish a piece it usually ends up shifting towards the latter. i love blue seeing as i am a blue guy myself but i can def appreciate both of those palettes!! very fun to work with :)

inspiration: OOH this is so so dear and special to me,, i draw inspiration from most anything that i can!! which includes but isnt limited to: davinci's sketches, baroque art in general, 70s-80s and 2000s retrofuturism (tbh 50s-2000s retrofuturism entirely is just so<333) i was big on the deviantart 2010s like, furry and mlp scene as well LOL so i get insp from there too from time to time! i also have an appreciation for other forms of art such as music, makeup, poetry, dance, etc, and i love kind of translating stuff from there into physical/drawn art :) i also take huge inspiration from my day to day life, the things around me, and my friends, and ofc, all of the media im interested in! (spn, mlp, dexter, stranger things, teotfw etc!) i think i am most inspired/motivated by my life experiences and animals and my passion for biology/anatomy :) i love to create just to create!

crayon: ive been drawing quite literally as long as i can remember! there wasnt ever a time where i wasnt in my memory, i am very very passionate about art in all of its forms and a strong believer that there is so much soul and life and Humanity in creating and sharing and viewing/observing/experiencing art, whether its telling stories or dancing or singing or drawing, i just love love love art. dont get me started on ancient cave drawings LMAO. but anyways sorry that was a tangent, point being that art is very intrinsic to my being, but to get back on topic, ive been drawing for my entire conscious life :) i remember as a wee boy i won an art trophy in my schools district for like, some water safety contest i made a poster for lol. my elective in high school was art, and i spent most of my time physically *in* high school spent in my art teachers classroom, any spare time i had, whether it was supposed to be my spare time or not 😭 as a small small kid i did horse riding, and was very passionate about horses, and had many horse anatomy books and how-to-draw horse books etc etc, was big into bella sara and i adored drawing horses. (later that manifested into an mlp special interest when g4 came out which fueled my art even more, i even run an mlp art request blog w my bf to this day!) but anyways! in my youngest days id draw horses, my family, any animal i could, webkinz, and as a tween-teen it was a bunch of furry art, then youtuber art, then fandom art, etc etc... now its mainly my original stuff and im very into spn right now so! lots of that too :)

sorry for going on such a long rant ahh! 😭 these questions are so cool i just had so much fun answering them lol!! thank you again!!!<3

[waterfallofspace]

HI anon from before im back!! Im glad you enjoyed my silly scenario god skk make me SO SICK. hes not dead he is NOT DEAD. THEYRE BOTH FINE TRUST anyways i did think originally that he would be on the phone with chuuya since theyre established.... But it would be so much better if it were someone else hhhrgrhrg maybe akutagawa bc he would ABSOLUTELY be a snitch gonna think about this again for the next 473772 days as if i wasnt thinking about then ENOUGH ALREADY.

Hhhuurgh i actually wanna draw it myself so bad but im not..... Proficient in drawing snz at all.... Oughghh ive always been so embarrassed to try but this is also the first time ive seen like. An actual community. For a fandom i actually am in. And im so so tempted and this all very encouraging to me :"D ANYWAYS THEY MAKE ME SICK AND ALSO HES NOT DEAD ITS ALL A STUNT FOR THE CAMERA WERE FINE ITS FINE!!!! We only saw it on fyidirs screen theyre totally up to something okay im RIGHT and TOTALLY NOT DELUSIONAL. LIKE AT ALL

Welcome back!!! God same ToT they make me so ill hahaha~

I have faith!! Because well... the alternative is too painful to take~ There's soooo many theories as to how he can make it, and he's GOTTA!! He just can~ Oh god yesss, it absolutely could be A/ku!! I feel like he'd do it trying to win D/azai's favour by informing him of what C/huuya's getting up to.

Omg honestly, I'd say just do it!! I've only recently gotten into art myself, but it's so much fun to try and make little pieces for your beloveds! Even if it's not perfect right away, it doesn't need to be. There was nothing, then you created, and now something exists, and honestly that's enough to be proud!! (and if you do, and wanted to share, I'd be thrilled to see it and give you some hype!!! I bet it would be amazing. But ofc no pressure~)
