back at it with another prayer request!

hello friends!

i am the world’s biggest supporter of mental health medication. It has helped me so much and it’s a lifeline for some of us. I sincerely believe it’s a gift from God.

however. I am experiencing some Not Good side effects after being on one of my meds for a few years, and I need the dosage to be dropped. This is unfortunately the med that helps with my depression, and in the week and a half since I’ve been on the lower dose, I’m experiencing little twinges of depression. Nothing unmanageable, but I’m worried it’s going to get worse.

please pray I can have the dosage successfully lowered without becoming too depressed, or even without being depressed at all! I really need this.

Have you thought about doing a body tutorial or something similar like how you do anatomy or expressions? Not to pressure u to or anything of course, I just find your art very inspiring and its quite honestly like the perfect mix of realistic and cartoony to me :)

Firstly, thank you for the kind words!!

Secondly, I will see if I can compile some tips for stuff | do but I must put the disclaimer here that I mostly have no idea what l'm doing :)))

Something that I learnt way back when I first started studying art for myself is using a line of motion, which I think adds a lot of movement and life to characters - especially if you're drawing them on their own

(You can see I add one here)

As for my "anatomy" (I use quotations because I will go through phases of studying anatomy vigorously and then a period immediately after where I do not care) | tend to use a lot of blocking and also the movement lines to shape my art and then go back and add detail and fix anything that's wrong

The head, chest and hips are what I tend to focus on mostly for initial blocking, then adding limbs and all the extra parts

So that's pretty much my process for drawing people and bodies, I could probably post some speed paints or whatever if you're interested to showcase it a bit more practically. But my other advice is to study other art styles and shapes and anatomy and people! Basic but hey, it works.

As for expressions I can potentially make another post for that too but be warned that I am bluffing through those way worse than this so we will see

I hope that helps!!!

Okay, so I did say I’d go over Diana’s lore a bit (and then completely forgot, forgive me, Artfight got in the way)- so here’s some history (and a few visual notes) for my evil little Arty clone!

Before I explain Diana, I first have to give a brief reminder of another other AF OC: Sine Sylvester, Council member of Haven.

This guy (wonderfully draw by the delightful @sinigangrobot , thank you so much my friend!)

Sine is a cervitaur, and generally well-liked by most in Haven. He’s made a big name for himself among circles of less “conventional” fairy folk (like other centaurs) in pioneering design/lawmaking in Haven that suits them as well. However, behind the scenes he’s also involved in illegal kidnapping of humans for aboveground for any purposes below, such as experimentation, weapons testing, labor, etc. You could say he runs “Human Resources” for Haven’s criminal underground… and occasionally, the Council.

Enter Artemis Fowl.

Sine exists in a hypothetical future AU in which Artemis is offered a position as the first human consultant for the Council- supposedly for services rendered, though mostly to keep an eye on him. Bureaucracy doesn’t suit Artemis at all, but he does what he can.

Eventually, two things happen- Sine digs up Foaly’s notes on cloning Artemis: a bit patchy, perhaps, but legible. Also, certain members of the Council become concerned about Artemis’s meddling. Eager for the opportunity to use the newfound research, Sine offers to make them a “backup” Artemis- one more suited to fairykind’s needs.

Sine has his own motivations- he’s in an interspecies marriage with a pixie doctor (in the “mad scientist” way, mind- she handles a lot of the human experimentation) named Mags. They love each other dearly, but understandably, a biological kid isn’t happening. So Diana, as they call the clone of Artemis they develop, becomes a son to them, and they love him fiercely… to the point of threatening the same Council members that commissioned him, if needed.

Diana is designed after how the People view Artemis- cunning, and cruel, and cold. He’s a vicious little guy, only tempered by his love for his parents, and the same burning curiosity as Artemis himself. Diana has a deep desire to learn and be recognized for his intellect- unfortunately for him, he spends most of his time cooped up in Sine’s HR facility for his own protection. See, Foaly’s notes had gaps- Sine and Mags filled these gaps with cybernetics. Because of them, Diana is hooked to the mainframe of Sine’s facility and all sorts of LEP systems to use as his playground (his parents’ attempts to make up for him being confined to the grounds)- laser turrets, survellience, his mother’s experiments… all of it is partially under his control, as Diana mans a lot of the facility’s defenses himself as a means of chasing off boredom. However, his cybernetics are also incredibly delicate, and cause him a lot of pain at times- whenever this happens, Sine takes the day off to look after him.

He, just like his father, considers humans to be lesser creatures. He’s not too pleased with his aboveground counterpart, refusing to acknowledge him as anything but “The Mud Boy”. Diana eagerly awaits the day they can meet in-person, so he can show him who the better Fowl is.

Other notes:

- Being raised in Haven and born of magic, he does have limited fairy abilities.

- Occasionally, he gets to follow Sine along and learn about Council business.

- Diana lacks Artemis’s focus, as he’s never had to cultivate it the way the Fowl heir has, so one of his weaknesses is that he’s easily distracted, and easily tricked.

What if Cloche were to stay in Twisted Wonderland? Worst Case Scenario (Delusion)

CW: BLOOD//GORE (Written?)

(Edgification— My love/j)

Events:

• If Crowley never finds a way to send Cloche back home, Cloche’ position as a prefect is solidified. Cloche would also be granted greater authority over other students.

• The longer Cloche stayed in Twisted Wonderland, the stronger Binding Bells became. Cloche had less of a conscious choice when following orders, and it got to the point where orders become automatic and were harder to reverse. Crowley didn’t take any actions to contain the curse, under the impression most of Cloche’ orders were harmless, until the incident she lost her eye. From that point on, Crowley finally recognized the severity of Cloche’ cursed obedience and set a password on her. The password makes it so that Cloche doesn’t have to follow anyone else’s orders, and that she doesn’t have to address others as “Master/Mistress”.

• Cloche lost her eye to first years who didn’t know any better. The freshmen were skeptical of the curse and wanted to see the full extent of it, so they cornered her when she was alone. They ordered her to freeze to cut her hair, and were surprised Cloche was so complaint. Still under the impression the curse was fake, and cutting hair didn’t cause any physical harm, they went out of their way to order Cloche to take out one of her eyes. Their curiosity turned to horror, when Cloche actually did it. Even if they tried to restrain her, she can’t stop until the order is fulfilled.

• The freshmen weren’t expelled, but suspended and heavily reprimanded. Crowley wanted to keep any and all incidents of violence under the wraps, as best he could. After the incident, Crowley realized Cloche had the potential to kill if ordered so, and temporarily fixed the obedience aspect of Binding Bells.

Changes:

• Cloche becomes more paranoid and stern after the incident. Her emotional apathy also worsens as a result of not being able to go back home. Cloche never felt a big connection to Twisted Wonderland and NRC in the first place.

• Since Cloche is less emotional now, she’s less likely to go feral.

• Cloche takes off her maid accessories and is finally given a form fitting uniform. With her hair cut, she also fits in with the boys more.

• The first year gang (now second year) are more protective of Cloche and keep a closer eye on her (especially ADeuce + Grim)

• Grim acts as Cloche’ second pair of eyes to make up for her worsened depth perception.

• Cloche comes to terms with the fact she may never be human again, and accepts the beastman features as apart of her.

• Unlike her first year self, second year!Cloche takes her role as a prefect more seriously, and actively tattles on troublemakers. She’d even go as far as to document suspicious activity her ear bells pick up on. She’d garner a reputation similar to Riddle. Thanks to Crowley’s protection, she can make reports without worrying about others trying to get revenge on her.

• In place of a magical pen, Cloche wears a NRC badge with a whistle behind it.

[Notes]

• Second Year!Cloche is designed with the intent to foil the Cloche who can return to her world, to foil the Cloche who did get her happy ending.

• I went for a police/military vibe with the design and pose to establish power

• Her iris will be forever shrunk to show the constant paranoia and unease.

• Cloche isn’t necessarily bullied here, but she happened to run into dumb kids who didn’t make the best decisions. The justifications of their actions is up to you

• She is twinning with Leona <3 Both felines with scarred eye ;)

• Shout out to the friend who said quote: “What is wrong with you?” when I showed the OG sketches— everything. Nobody deserves to be happy (except for sweet baby Leikata and Otomine uwu)

[sammunmak]

uhm i forgot to post these yesterday for sammun-mak sunday but whatever we can extend it to sammun-mak monday. hooray!

this is basically just an au where some time after tdph sammun-mak gets adopted by sam & max and geek builds her a robot body. she can still use her psychic powers which can lead to some shenanigans. but the most important part is that she’s happy under snm’s care :]

I did it, I made that TF2 OC I was talking about.

Technically, Crow is not a Mercenary. He works alongside Miss Pauling as an unofficial assistant of sorts. By that, I mean he was never properly hired. He was attracted by the death and chaos happening between the two teams and just… showed up. But he’s helpful, so he’s allowed to stay. He mostly works as battlefield cleanup, collecting the bodies, shrapnel, and weapons from the battlefield during and after a battle. He especially enjoys collecting the bodies, as he is fascinated by death and loves to study human anatomy. More often than not, he just quietly returns the weapons and scrap metal back to the mercenaries.

Despite being a neutral party, he does wear the team colors so he doesn’t get shot on sight if the mercenaries do see him. Heavy emphasis on IF. He is extremely reclusive and doesn’t like being seen, which has caused him to become adept at hiding and sneaking around. He may appear well put together and even intimidating at times, but he is terribly skittish and will flee at the first sign of a living person being nearby.

I feel like denying my body sleep to tonight. Anyone want to tell me how their day/night was or ask me some questions? :D

Feel free to tell me really anything honestly!

31 Days of DA

Day 1: Introduce your Hero of Ferelden

Halina Mahariel

Unfortunately I don’t have a screenshot of her handy, so you’ll have to do with a meiker by Elequinoa of the Warden Commander in casual clothes post Awakening!

Halina Mahariel is a Dalish Ranger. Click here for more on her canonical World State.

She was born in 9:09, aged 21 at the Battle of Ostagar in 9:30 when she is conscripted into the Grey Wardens. She has a pet Mabari named Sausage, and a Bear familiar named Cookie.

She fell in love with her fellow Grey Warden, Alistair, after a brief fling with the assassin Zevran. She recruited all possible companions with the exception of Logain, keeping everyone alive and well after the battle against Urthemiel, softening both Leliana and Alistair. She killed Flemmeth on Morrigan’s behalf and prevailed upon Alistair to complete the Dark Ritual with the witch. She and Alistair have both met Kieran once in spite of Morrigan’s protests. Halina is very fond of him and calls him a “sweet child.”

Halina is a mature and motherly person who believes in doing good above all. She bears Mythal’s vallaslin and a large tattoo on her back dedicated to Sylaise. She sincerely thinks Alistair is the funniest person in the world, laughing at even his absolute worst jokes. She is good friends with Leliana, Zevran, and Wynne. Morrigan, Sten, and Shale respect her but find her naive. Oghren respects her, but they do not like each other.

Mahariel supports mages and nonhumans, and rarely supports the Chantry unless she truly feels they’re trying to do good. She brokered peace between the Dalish and the Werewolves, kept Connor and Isolde alive and exorcised the demon, killed Branka and destroyed the Anvil, helped Dagna and supported Bhelen as ruler. Logain died by her hand, leaving Anora to rule Ferelden alone. She dealt the final blow to the Archdemon and went on to rebuild the Southern Grey Wardens with the help of Alistair.

In Awakening, she recruited all companions, including Oghren, shocking everyone, and kept them all safe and alive. She allowed the Architect to live, and protected both the Keep and Amaranthine.

After Awakening, she disappeared from the public eye. Only her fellow Grey Wardens and previous companions know what she’s up to, and each one was separately sworn to secrecy. The only people who know how to contact her are Alistair, Zevran, and Leliana.

Halina is related to the Lavellans, and is the second cousin of Ellanasha Lavellan, the Inquisitor. Ellana’s mother, Miriam Lavellan is the first cousin of Halina’s father, making her and Ellana second cousins once-removed. Alistair is very confused by this, and just calls Ellana cousin. Ellana has met them several times, but hasn’t seen or heard from Halina since 9:32. Alistair, however, writes regularly.

Status as of 9:54 - Presumed alive, age 45. Married to Alistair. Location unknown.

Heyo!

Hope RL is doing well for you ❤️

My first question is for your Minthephone fic. Do you have an ideal ending for the couple? Is it anywhere compared to the original ending?

And my second question is do you have any non fandom projects or OC’s? Id love to see them if you!

Thank you so much for the ask!!

First, I do have a vague “official” ending for PomengranMints! It’s more of a slight flash forward into the future, but it’ll bookend their relationship for the time being! At that point in the story, it’ll technically deviate completely from canon. I won’t give any spoilers, but it does end in a big celebration! So that’s a vague similarity

And I do actually! I have a little project I’ve been working on with a friend (hi hi @thepaladincosplays!) It’s called LadyBites!

It’s about a group of girls who get accepted into an inter-dimensional magic school for nobility!

Alina and Genevieve are the main girls, but each girl will get time to shine and develop. It’s inspired by Winx Club, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Sailor Moon, and MLP.

I still need to redraw all the of the main girls (and majorly redesign Alina, I’m making her black! With slight edits to Genevieve), but I can always take more questions if anyone is curious!

Last night the ST fire emblem au brainworms came back so to help feed them, here’s my ideas on what classes I think the characters would be

Mike: Lord (he’s essentially the blue haired lord in my head, can become a paladin later)

Will: Mage or Cleric (going more with mage cause they get pointy hats while clerics don’t)

Lucas: Archer

Dustin: Bard (yes this is a class in this game but only in like two and the older ones)

El: idk either mage or she’s manakete (dragon person)

Max: Pegasus knight

Nancy: Mage (with a proficiency in bows)

Jonathan: Thief (might change later idk)

Steve: Red Cavalier

Barb: Cleric or Mage (I was also thinking Pegasus knight to do the whole Pegasus trio trope in many of the games)

Robin: Green Cavalier

Argyle: Apothecary (like Jonathan, might change later)

Vickie: Pegasus knight

Eddie: Mercenary (the hellfire club is his mercenary group, leaning towards the trickster class as well)

Chrissy: Dancer (it’s the cheerleader class of this game)

Hopper: Knight (don’t know which kind yet)

Joyce: Axe Fighter (might change too but might not cause AXE)

Murray is the hubba tester/rainbow sage character (aka the relationship fortune teller mechanic that’s in awakening and fates respectfully) he can also be playable. Idk what his class is yet

[mayakern]

Hope it’s not a bother!! I love hearing you talk about your skirt creations and behind the scenes! What are your top 10 most popular skirts? Any one of them surprise you with its popularity? What are some concept ideas that you have that you scraped because it seems too self indulgent and won’t do well with the crowd? How much freedom do you give your collaborators, or do you still contribute to the ideas (I remember you said you went to Rio with the rat idea)

it’s not a bother at all! however this is a lot of questions so i’ll just be answering the first one, since that answer alone is already plenty long.

it’s a little difficult to aggregate the most popular designs, since a lot of them have multiple listings (either from size range changes, changes to the design, or having a miniskirt version) but i’ll do my best

the top design, by a very wide margin, is the bee skirt! i don’t think this will surprise anyone hahaha. i also don’t think the whale skirt being second place will surprise anyone either.

third and fourth are @sergle’s sunflowers and my desert sunset. the desert sunset skirt surprises me only because of how relatively new it is (same with the sunflowers skirt). i think it’s because they were both available for preorders so people were able to order as many as they wanted without worrying about us running out of stock.

fifth and sixth are cherry tree and deadly florals

seventh is @sergle’s poppies and eighth is sycamore, which is surprising only that it is a color way of the cherry tree skirt. usually when i make different color ways of designs, one of them vastly outsells the others, but considering how much less time the sycamore skirt has been available for, the sales aren’t that different.

ninth and tenth are star gayzing and ocean, which is insane considering we’ve only offered the ocean skirt once. i think it could easily hit top five after a couple more reprints

Fic update time!

Chapters 1 and 2 are done, and are going through the occasional edit. Chapter 3 is coming along nicely although it’s not going to reach 2’s length.

I will try to have 3 sit at around 2k words, though I can’t guarantee that since I’m nearly full circle.

TEASER FOR CHAPTER TWO BELOW

“Is this.. the first time you’ve seen something like this happen?” the engine murmured, his emotions still running high.

“Yes.” the human admitted. “It is. I’ve heard stories of other engines suffering from similar fates, however.”

i swear it’s always during finals, when i’m running on 4 hours of sleep and energy drinks that i’m like “omg i should write right now :)” HELP
