Happy summer, everybody!

This has been a big project to take and while there's stuff to improve I'm pretty happy with it. Be sure to zoom in the big picture for details and read the comic from left to right. (Needless to say, please don't try A.B.A's behaviour.. For your safety)

@femslashfortnight day 5: near death experience (campfire confession). an alternate ending to abstinence camp, because girl jeri deserved better.

also, not directly related to the prompt, but here's an extra doodle of the immediate aftermath! they have each other and that's all that matters

"I trust you. I like you." — a potential fic based on this (x) Detailed notes on Sabo's design below!

For him, I initially thought of him as a shark of all things. I say that despite not knowing how to draw sharks uh. Here it is below.

I wanted him to be a big boy and have this immense size difference with Law. He's the tallest among the ASL trio and that meant he should be the biggest merman out of the three. He's not necessarily buffer but he just has a larger frame and a longer, more muscular tail.

I also wanted him to look like a freak, a huge figure with obscenely sharp teeth. I found images on Pinterest with sharks with scars that seemed to slice through their skin and I wanted to incorporate that throughout the design. A homage to Sabo's scarred eye, if you will.

He had horns too, for some reason. I just thought it looked cool.

However, what I didn't like about this design was that it didn't read like Sabo, or at least the version of Sabo I envisioned in my head. Hence, I gave up on it. It was sort of devastating because I wanted to try something new, but we move on!

Without a clear idea for what I wanted, I spent a lot of time struggling with not just Sabo's design but with what I wanted the illustration to be overall. Later that evening, I scrolled through Pinterest (again) and found images of eels and that just clicked.

They're just the right combination of cute and just downright weird. They have that snake-like look to them, which echoed my initial shark design. On top of that, they don't look as derpy from the front as compared to sharks.

I did try again to make Sabo freaky, as shown by this sketch below. It's based on a scene from that potential fan fic, where Sabo saves Law from drowning and his inner freak shines through. I imagined a dark lighting situation where Sabo's scars are the light source. It'll be quite creepy and I'd like to manifest this vision someday!

Anyways, from here, I focused on making Sabo look cool and pretty for the illustration. I retained his human face (I am not good enough for furry art) and focused on making his tail look SUPER cool.

It's interesting to me that with this revision, I found inspiration in my initial 'failed' design. I still kept the star-shaped scars and placed them on his tail and body.

They're blue because (1) I wanted to respect Sabo's colour palette and (2) I was inspired by those ocean creatures who glow underwater. I feel that would be a good plot point like Sabo would be insecure about that because it's admittedly kinda scary but Law would think it's reassuring.

That's all I have to say about the designs. I have ideas for Ace and Luffy, but I haven't sketched them out concretely yet. I'm thinking lion fish for Ace and a cute black fish species called the Pinnate Spadefish for Luffy.

The Pinnate Spadefish has one bold red/yellow stripe and I like to think that Luffy as a merman just painted it on to look like Ace. He shifts between red and blue to imitate his Cool™ older brothers.

But yeah, that's all. I needed to yap about this, so if you read this far, thank you for reading!

Fellas can you take this somewhere else. Maybe. Just not in the fucking halls. Thanks 🫡

Close-ups of my fave shots!

I've simply been consumed by the idea of a laser shotgun in the Midst cosmos, because they are mentioned but not shot in canon. I started doodling what a multi-bulb cartridge would look like during a work meeting and then I ended up with this.

Also I don't even need to draw it, I've found my head canon for the telescoptics - coin telescope machine.

Moments that will be living rent-free in my head forever and ever.

Hey. Listen to Inn Between. It's good and also this happens and it's dramatic and cool and devastating (and just a little bit ridiculous. Acid flavored...).

(Image description: Three pictures of the same drawing in various stages of progress. The first image is the finished and colored drawing in black ink and colored pencil, and it pictures Meltyre, a young man with pale skin, dark brown hair, and currently green eyes. He is wearing dark grey robes with greenish-blue flames patterned around the wrists and hems, and a wizard hat with purple trim and the same greenish fire hanging as a pendant from the tip. His expression is angry and determined. In between his hands, he holds a ball of bright green liquid. Typed text around the drawing says in one font, "Stop calling me a coward." In a second font, it says, "...Meltyre, what is that?" In the first font again, it says, "Chromatic orb. Acid flavored. Are you listening to me now?" The word "now" is larger and spaced out for emphasis. The second and third images are the pencil sketch and the uncolored ink drawing with the words handwritten. End of image description.)

2022 art year in review!!

more thoughts under the cut!

in comparison to last year, i made digital art every month this year, so i was able to make a year in review ^^ my lineart hasn't changed, but i started trying out the gouache brush around summer, and that changed the way i color. i've tried the painterly style before, and i didn't really enjoy it, but now, i think i have a better grasp of shading with color, so i'm happier with the results even if it requires more time and effort. as for burnout and feeling like i have to fulfill others' expectations, i'm still learning how to deal with them. hopefully by reflecting on why i want to draw a piece before i start it, i'll be better able to cope with these issues.

"I didn't know her name, but I knew she scared the shit out of me. The lady at the top of the stairs...she's not my family, and she never was my family."

Here's some fun Bambino lore that I finally managed to finish. A child born out of wedlock, to a nobleman and a simple maid, how ✨️scandalous✨️

...luckily, the wife knew what to do about the situation.

Loving going to the gym, it's a great supplement for the other sport I do, both to further train the muscles I need to yeet ppl higher for cheerleading and to train the muscles that don't get trained enough from the other stuff I do but.

The gym alone could never be enough for me bc I am fundamentally a lazy person. I'm not gonna really ever push myself as far on my own as I will when we're soo close to hitting this stunt, let's do it one more time, come on

Anyway we did double base for almost the full 90 minutes yesterday (one flyer on just two bases), most of the speed upwards has to come from me, I am so sore but yes we did hit it
