I want to fucking draw, but I can't overexert my hand right now in case it gets bad again
#morningtalks#I am so fucking pissed about it#I want to draw#I want to create things#I have so many ideas right the fuck now#but I can't do anything because I fucked up my hand by studying my Latin vocab#it's still hurting. it's been two weeks now#I want to finish my huge piece#I want to do more human studies because by the gods up above I Will Learn How to Draw Humans well#I want to do this stupid thing of going to the many (overpriced) clothing stores I live close by and sketch them while in the shop to have#Live references for clothing#I want to draw daily whis without worrying about taking notes in class#I want to create things for my friends because I love them#I want to get out of my artblock but right now I CAN'T since I can't draw at all#I want to reassure myself my right hand Will Heal and not end up like my left hand; still painful four years after 'recovery'#I want to be sure I won't lose the only hand I have still left#because of some dumb shit like vocabulary

I saw what you did there Andy and Danai and/or costume department.
“It must have been something else then” ❤️
#richonne#towl#the ones who live#twd:towl#twd#towl spoilers#the ones who live spoilers#whoever’s idea was it to mirror their clothes to that infamous richonne scene (or ‘the birth of richonne’ that Danai refers to it as)#deserves a raise for the rest of their life

some other liyue girls redesigned! i really wanted to draw xiangling since her color palette is very nice^^ +yelan with outfit designed by mutual
#xiangling ties her sleeves with ribbons to avoid making them dirty#also her ornaments resemble hot steam from food and edible seeds and plant roots and sprouts#i think xiangling's outfit should be pretty simple and i used duan da as a reference for her clothing here#not much to tell about qiqi though... i just wanted her dressing to be longer and less layered aha#theyre quite opposites aren they? very lively girl and very dead girl#also...i dont really know why i wanted to draw xiangling fat.. i saw a woman on the street that reminded me of her somehow..that was a main#inspiration i guess... i hope it doesn't come as offensive as her character is so heavily food inspired..#btw i really want to xiangling and yelan to become friends..or at least develop some reliable relationships... idk why.. they are so#different but they're not opposites..! and i want more girl&woman duos#genshin impact#genshin redesign#redesign#xiangling#xiangling genshin impact#qiqi#qiqi genshin impact#yelan#yelan genshin impact#xiangling & yelan#my art#fat art#fat positivity#fat xiangling

Masters of the Air behind-the-scenes
#period clothing + modern items never fails to make me laugh#stalag bucky and gale enjoying some starbucks is iconic FRRR#masters of the air#bucky egan#gale cleven#I need an AU where they take the tunnel in the stalag but it’s actually a wormhole to modern day#and they stumble out into the set of MoTA#and everyone is like Wow they are really staying in character#meanwhile they are desperately trying to figure out where the hell they are and why the B-17’s won’t start up#bonus points for agony when bucky and gale slowly realize that by swapping places with two actors named callum and austin#they’ve basically left two guys in the stalag who don’t have the skills to survive in there#and when barry makes references to funny stories that never happened with Bucky he realized that it’s not his life to live#and that he needs to give his place back to callum#and so despite making it out of the stalag Bucky and Gale agree to go back#sacrificing their freedom so that two strangers they’ve never met (callum and austin) can have their lives back#and holding hands they head back into hell

Just imaging Vesper in hanfu <3
#These are Qiyao Ruqun style of hanfu if my googling is correct?#I also feel fairly confident that the bottom two are Wei/Jin dynasty style. The rest are more modern-style recreations I believe!!#They were labeled as Han Dynasty but they look much more similar to Wei/Jin from the references I was using. But!! Obv I'm not an expert#(Realistically if Vesper were to wear traditional clothing it would be a Kimono since she lives in the Empire-#-whose traditional clothing and such are Japanese inspired! But since she's Lanapteran who are Chinese inspired I like to imagine her in-#-hanfu as well. She was raised completely isolated from ANY culture so she never got the chance to experience it.)#Vesper tag

"Inazuma is poorly written" meaning the worldbuilding's great but the plot needs a rewrite. "Natlan is poorly written" meaning the worldbuilding needs a redesign but the plot is great.
#Inazuma needs a rewrite of exerything in the archon quest EXCEPT Kazuha's arc with the 2 visions.#Inazuma's map worldbuilding and culture are all great#Natlan needs a complete revamp of the 6 tribes and the Stadium#because everything feels like it was designed for tourists instead of the people who live there#make the cultural references better. less modern clothes#that means change most of the character designs#I would also change most of the character's gameplay and replace their transportation with something less modern#Kinich gets a pass because tech is a dendro motif and his transport method is just Ajaw but everyone else needs to change#Mavuika especially#also more melanin obviously#but the actual plot has been stellar so far#the issue of having to fight not only for your people's lives but also to preserve their history and heritage (like under colonialism)#that was great#and in general Natlan was much better than Inazuma at portraying the horrors of war#genshin impact#genshin#原神#natlan#inazuma#mavuika#raiden shogun#raiden ei#genshin archon quest#genshin inazuma#genshin natlan

Don't forget that you can always draw your ocs and favorite characters in fun outfits that you think they would wear. you can and should do this
#duck speaks#it's very fun to do and like. think about what types of clothes they'd like to wear#and the things they'd pick out at a store with all sorts of clothes to choose from#it can be a way to get to know the character better also I think#especially for ocs. it's like a way to develop their character#what sort of clothes do they typically wear ? what textures and colors do they like in clothes ?#are they comfortable showing skin with their outfits ? do they get cold or hot easily ? what type of climate do they live in ?#is there a type of outfit they wish they could wear but are too scared/don't have the means or money to ?#do they normally dress more casual or more formal ? what would a formal or casual outfit be for them ?#what do they wear in the summer ? what about in the winter ?#what are their pajamas like ?#do they dress in fashion from a specific era ? what era are they from also ?#do they dress more feminine or more masculine ? a mix of both ?#do they wear the same/similar outfits over and over ? is there something they always wear no matter what outfit they have on ?#do they care a lot about their appearance and how other people see them ? how does that effect their outfits ?#lots of things to think about#also you should draw them in outfits for mee#I love outfits and I love to see them#you don't have to make them up from the top of your head even. you can have an idea for what you want and look it up for reference#I do this a lot#I'll go in pinterest and search up like. 70s fashion or 2010s teen fashion or something#and look around to get a better idea of what I'm going for#pinterest is nice because you can click on a image you like and it'll have similar ones under that :]

oh, mi amor
#levihan#my art#artistic nudity#look! i finished a drawing!#hange lives#i don’t know what came over me like i tried to make it as logical as possible#umm i’m a little embarrassed but i can explain!#i think my brain reasoned that hange would lose their clothes because they went up in flames… and i wanted to represent that they were#basically born again? um… assuming they almost died bc they *were* supposed to sacrifice themselves#wouldn’t it be a blessing? couldn’t they have lived?#and well… they’re with their eyes closed because eren was unconscious the first time he turned into the attack titan#i remember that in the first season mikasa was crying#while she hugged him and i wanted to make reference to that#i don’t know if i did a good job with levi’s expression but he’s supposed to be crying from happiness#i tried conveying it to the best of my abilities#in my mind hanji was supposed to inherit the beast titan so i tried to paint the fur underneath levi’s feet haha#commisions open#art

I have returned to my natural state, which is chewing on The Silver Mask like a dog with a bone and a vengeance bc it absolutely should have been the best Magisterium book. It has all the ingredients it needs to blow every other book clear out of the water... but it just doesn't commit all the way to any of them and instead continues to pale in comparison to Iron Trial.
Like.... we have Aaron comes back Wrong, Tamara having to choose between her loyalty to Call and her loyalty to the Magisterium/Assembly, Call really actually wholly taking on the mantle of the Enemy of Death and being faced with the same situations that Constantine was in, getting more up-close time with Master Joseph, Alex, and Anastasia, Jasper is.... there, I think, and Rufus is forced to confront that the system he's spent his life perpetuating fucking sucks!!!! and is actively harming not just his partner but his beloved student!!!!!
HOW is TSM now better than it was!!!!
#lee rambles on and on#tsm#magisterium#not to reference my own insane dream about the series but this is why house of lies was my favourite of the books i dreamed up#also as always this is my opinion#also also if jasper has an arc or any sort of role other than being tamara 2.0 i have forgotten it#if he did anything significant pls remind me its been a while since the last reread#one minutae that i'll always be pissed they didn't hone in on more: they made call wear constantine's clothes#the absolute insanity that makes me feel. the fact that for the entirety of that book call has no clothes of his own and is stuck wearing--#a dead man's clothes. a dead man he's never met but who he is expected to live up to. to be. and call doesn't know if he wants to be that--#person but for as long as he's stuck there he has to wear constantine's favourite band t-shirts#arwarwrarwar--biting biting biting

by the power of modern day AU, I am delighted to announce that Fulj can have a girlfriend ! I haven't named her yet but have a few in mind so ... soon (TM). She is the one that she loved in canon before the whole memory wipe and as you can see, penchant for black, black hair, brown eyes, and prone to weird statements. Perfect balance to Deacon's weird questions.
HOWEVER ! I mentioned the problem of Deacon still having facial blindness to someone and how there is no glow from the deities for him to identify them. And her solution is the funniest thing ever so I have to do it. He identifies people by smell. So when he is in the same room as Ymber and Oh when they first cross paths, he doesn't really think about it. But later when he sees Ymber alone and gets the same kinda scent, same cologne or something, he knows that's not the taller guy therefore that's his scent ! Perfect!
So... unfortunately.... Deacon really can't beat the weirdness allegations in AUs...... he's stuck like that. Fulj has referred to him as a guard dog in canon and now he's a tracking dog. RIP to him.
(and because Deacon gets my facial blindness I am giving Fulj's girlfriend ANOTHER trait of mine I wouldn't wish on anyone because it's also really funny. She can't smell. She can taste ! She just can't smell. So she loves talking to Deacon because he explains smells as foods for her to get the vibe across. Which are REALLY weird conversations no one else wants to hear.)
#the daily life of a deity sucks#modern deities and their weird lives#im gonna actually make that the tag#also The Girlfriends live together and so they have the same kinda scent to Deacon but even if he only has one around#he can pick them out which weirds Fulj out even more until hes like#but if I smell you and there is no greeting its you and if I do get a greeting its the other#and Fulj is just baffled that THATs the tell ... flipping greetings#also since Oh is just one person in the AU since they were never split to two#they are delighted by the funny scent tracking and is just SO happy to tell Deacon and Ymber#Hey Ym I need to borrow your boyfriend so he can pick out a nice cologne for me so he knows its me#and Ymber is like weird but okay whatever you want if hes ok with it#and Deacon is too ??? over being referred to as Ymbers boyfriend and not having it outright denied so he agrees in a daze#to go help pick out their cologne and just question his life at this point#because he cant not be weird he has to go above and beyond while explaining how a cherry smell tastes#and everyone except the girlfriend who hears it is just... kinda.... weirded out by how he describes things#while the gf is absolutely delighted to have such descriptions#Fulj is just ... i love you babe but hes so weird how do you do it#and everyone else except deacon is just whispering to each other about who has to break it to Fulj#that her gf and Deacon are basically the exact same levels of weird and no one wants to because she will get so defensive#the gf just wants to dress deacon up like a goth or emo and he doesnt really know how to interpret the interest in his clothing#and just they are so precious and never woulda met in canon even if Fulj didnt have her wiped from her memory#she was alive centuries ago

MarriageToxin Profiles Vol.1
Haven’t seen these in English yet, so I’m posting them! Taken from the Japanese manga releases. Translated by myself. Sorry for the image quality;;
Gero Hikaru
DOB: November 24th Blood Type: A
Heir to the "poison user" Gero family. The type to have many copies of the same clothes. Keeps a large number of work tools under his coat. If the room he lives in isn’t constantly clean, he feels unsettled. On nights after something rough happened, he cleans public toilets and other places until they’re better than new. Due to that, rumors of an urban legend “the Midnight Cleaner” have begun to spread throughout one portion of the city.
Amount of money spent on DIY candy kits per month: approx. 200,000 yen *(approx. $1,500 USD )
–
*TL Notes: Here’s Gero! Starting off strong with the main character.
Blood types are included in almost every profile in this series. In Japan, blood types are actually considered pretty important for determining one’s personality and romantic compatibility. It’s similar to Western astrology with star signs. For more detailed information, search google or read here. In Gero’s case, Blood Type A is actually the most statistically common in Japan (40% of the population) so that makes him a relatively normal guy. According to one article, “people with blood type A are known to be highly-organized, particularly precise, and pay much attention to details. They are diplomatic and friendly in nature, so you won’t have a hard time approaching them. They seek harmony among other people, but they sometimes prefer to be alone because of their sensitive nature.” Checks out overall.
The DIY candy kits money is…far too much. Gero please what are you doing. Upon searching, a single package is like, $3.90 USD. So, $1500/$4 = 375 kits per month. That’s 93 per week. That’s 13 per day. Gero is the personification of that one dril “spend less on candles. no.” tweet. --
Kinosaki Mei
DOB: May 18th Blood Type: AB
A marriage swindler. Capable of winning-over any partner within 30 seconds. The possessor of an outstanding "mix-and-match" fashion coordination technique. On days off, ends up lounging around inside the house all day. After a long life in abject poverty, will eat anything. Once survived for 3 weeks based only off of gorging food on dates. Living space is small, and strewn with clutter. Is hiding a big secret. –
*TL Notes: The original text actually manages to avoid using any pronouns for Kinosaki. Given how Japanese is structured, it’s possible to sometimes drop a subject/object/pronoun entirely, without compromising the sentence. Unfortunately in English that’s much harder to manage, and often ends up sounding like you’re suspiciously trying to avoid the words. I tried to compromise here by arranging the text around. Just know that in the official text, they avoid giving any specific he/she gender markers for Kinosaki as of current.
For Blood Type: “This blood type is the combination of the precise qualities of A types and the free-spiritedness of B types. Given that it’s a rare blood type, people with this type are often perceived as geniuses or [eccentric]. They can be unpredictable and curious. People who belong to the AB type usually jump around from one activity to another, depending on their mood and situation. They chase ideal dreams and pursue learning and knowledge in a wide range of fields. They are calm and rational but have a complicated personality.” Again, checks out for a swindler known for changing to handle any situation.
…Yes the final line does say “a big secret”. Uh. EDIT: Chapter 54 sheds new light on this line! Perhaps it’s not a dirty joke after all, but something far more tragic. 👀
More coming soon!
#marriagetoxin#gero hikaru#kinosaki mei#mei kinosaki#marriage toxin#MT profiles#lmao official Protagonist Syndrome multiple sets of the same clothes#congrats to Gero on becoming an official Cryptid#also November is uhhhh 9 months after Valentine’s Day#does the Gero family celebrate that or…#yknow at the start of the series I wondered if he ate candy kits and nothing else#we’ve seen him eat real food since#but given that budget I Wonder#Gero does the family have a special medicine to control your blood sugar or something#also I want to see Kinosaki eating chips and binging TV on his days off#love how the second line in Kino's could mean win someone in love or topple an opponent#the fashion term specifically refers to re-using the same item in different ways btw#must be that scarf he always wears#Gero’s clean room requirement is rly unfortunate given uh Kinosaki’s profile info#them living together would be a DISASTER

Sailor Merope!!!
#crazy coconuts#my art#dnd#eddie#we need more sailor gaurdians that aren't size 00#i looked more at cosplayers than offical art (although like every other one. very much directly referred to an image for the pose + outfit-#but this was never supposed to be an exercise in pose or clothing. it was intentionally easy bc it was for fun)#(fair warning. long explanation incoming. also very little actual sailor moon knowledge)#ANYWAY merope is actually just a snappy version of what Im trying to say#which is def something to do with the pleiades (the dnd campaign is very christian. the associated love of 7. its the 7 sisters. you get it)#the pleiades especially work bc they fulfil sailor moon's love of space + greek myths/things in general#although. upon looking at the actual naming conventions most of the greek ones seem to be villains?#theres also whatever the animamates are doing#buuuut villains or not the ambiguity does sorta work bc i dont fully think we're being all that morally good in our dnd campaign#the stars in the pleiades themselves are named after their associated greek sisters too#anyway. merope was only specifically chosen bc she is often the “lost sister” so to speak#aka the explanation for why we can only generally see 6 of the brightest stars with the naked eye anymore#(the astrological explanation is that those things move! theyre movin right now! the 7 sisters are just that old of a story)#the missing sister thing is funny to me with my girl who would generally rather hide away forever#buuutt she was also the wife of sisyphus. which i could honestly explain away or ignore but its enough of a Thing#that i could see the other sisters working as well#but this explanation alone has had me sifting through astronomy websites and sailor moon wikis for over an hour#so i need to stop before i start looking into places to watch sailor moon#WAIT before I go. I would be embarrassed to not amend my previous statement about the missing sister#sometimes its electra! because she is distraught by the destruction of troy#very well could work better. but its too late. i have written so much. we must live with merope. gods know sisyphus didnt :}c

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki
#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk#like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions#while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized#but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama#and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction#i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me#anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa#and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan#ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places#and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls#i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show#they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation#theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets#back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame#plus over done#it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan#but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions#also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island#from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference#and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading#and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references#cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on#i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand#i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix#god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china”#my brother in christ red is also important in japan#red is important in like many many asian cultures#i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches#like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan#but a lot of those comes from china in some way

#Alexei#he is not finalized!#I'd like to rework some things#tinker a bit#but this is for practicing drawing humans and I don't think I'll be pushing this reference any further than a scribble#ofc he usually wears clothes#but this is aabout muscles so the man only gets the chastity cloth skirt#ref practice#jelly art#this man has honour the size of the house#it's just that at one time his beliefs led him to take some kids to the slaughter#whoops#when you don't think magic constructs#that just happen to be someone's child#count as kids#you go and fuck up#I AM BACK TO FEELING ASHAMED OF UNFINISHED THINGS#we all need more sketches in our lives
