If everyone was able to choose any fictional character to be for the rest of their lives (multiple of the same character allowed), who would you choose? (Picture or description of character optional)
Hmmmmhmhmmhmmmmm
That’s a hard one..
I’d have to choose Tigress from King Fu Panda. She’s always been my favorite since I was little, and she was actually the reason I started Karate classes lol. She’s just- so cool! When I was 8, I think, I wanted to be her haha-
"when strangers mistake me for his father i don't correct them" just break my goddamn heart why don't you. i love this and the rest of your art so so SO much and i'm dying to hear more of your thoughts on tintin and haddock's father-son/chaotic uncle-nephew dynamic, because it's one thing i wish had been developed further in canon, especially with tintin's move to marlinspike hall
Haddock and Tintin invented the found family trope! Their dynamic means so much to me, while my post canon series seems to be about Tintin and Chang's relationship it's actually more about Tintin and Haddock's found family bond and how it changes as Tintin grows older.
My thoughts on their dynamic are under the cut. It's Fathers' Day in the UK this Sunday, so happy Fathers' Day!
Haddock had a terrible childhood and has low self esteem, but values his ability as a sailor. Even that is shaken when his crew mutinies and kidnaps a teenager. As a result Haddock feels an enormous sense of guilt and responsibility for Tintin
He looks up to Tintin a lot, he inspires Haddock to always strive to be better!
He doesn't understand what Tintin sees in him but Tintin's positivity easily outshines any doubts about their friendship. Tintin brings that childlike wonder Haddock missed out on in his own childhood. Haddock goes out of his way to do stuff with Tintin he never got to do with his father, like going to the theatre or trips to the seaside.
Initially Tintin tolerates Haddock, but he proves himself with his sailing prowess in The Shooting Star. While Tintin is brave and proactive he's very introverted and closed off from people, having gained dangerous enemies at such a young age.
At first he's not used to having someone look out for him but grows to deeply appreciate Haddock. A colleague at work said Haddock is like that one middle aged guy you befriend at a job you got as a teenager and you become ride or die with through trauma bonding and I think he's exactly right!
Even though he's his best friend Tintin still keeps him at a distance. Haddock doesn't know his legal name or anything about his past. Tintin rarely opens up about personal problems out of fear of worrying him.
As Haddock has pinned so much of his self worth on Tintin, in my post canon series Haddock is forced to re-examine his friendship with him.
Haddock gets into a secret romantic relationship with Ramo Nash and gets some well earned down time from adventures, taking up painting as a hobby. It's the first time he's had time to find himself outside of being Tintin's adventuring companion, and realises he may have to make the painful decision between his best friend or staying true to himself. It's a decision he knew he had to make for a long time.
Haddock invites Chang to live in Marlinspike during his year as an exchange student in hopes he'll keep Tintin out of trouble. When Chang ends up joining in on the adventures instead Haddock is taken aback by how competent he is, and how seemingly effortlessly he is able to keep up with Tintin. Watching a younger fitter person does bring up some insecurities in him, but he later appreciates that this means he could sometimes take a break and let Chang go get shot at instead!
Tintin's tendency to keep his personal problems to himself drives a rift between them as he desperately tries to navigate coming to terms with being gay. Even though homosexuality was legal in Belgium at the time there's still a stigma, and Haddock and Tintin are terrified of losing each other's respect.
When Haddock finds out Tintin is also gay he is overjoyed, he vows to look out and to always be a safe haven for him. He grew up in fear and in the closet, so is determined to be the father figure he never had himself.
Haddock is very supportive of Tintin and Chang, but as Tintin grows closer to Chang and spends more time with him Haddock can't help but feel a little insecure. It's normal for parental figures to feel that way.
As Haddock grows older and less physically able to travel, Tintin worries if his deteriorating health is his fault. Haddock makes sure to nip this fear in the bud, and lets him know how proud he is of what they were able to do. As Haddock settles into retirement with Ramo, Tintin and Chang visit frequently to help take care of them.
Haddock never officially adopts Tintin despite everything, just in case the Haddock family curse still persists. Also "Tintin Haddock" is an absolutely awful sounding name.
Neither Haddock or Tintin can stand spiders. They get Nestor or Calculus to deal with that
imagine All of Tintin's Father Figures in a group chat in a modern AU, Haddock, Calculus, Skut, Mr Wang, Ramo Nash... The Council of Dads (Castafiore is in it too, she counts)
Every single time I draw for an anime I think to myself "never again will I draw for an anime" and then I am proven wrong. So here, take my daughter Lulu.
HEY hey if you have a copy of Bugsnax, are able to save clear screenshots of fully snakified grumpus (with singular snax), and are willing to upload them to the Miraheze Bugsnax Wiki/Bugapedia that'll be Very appreciated‼️‼️‼️
im asking this cause,,
If you want an example of what I mean, there's a Snakifications Section on Bunger's page which basically be serve as a base for the whole thing
Below cut I added some important stuff relating to file naming and uploading them :V
First I Highly Recommend looking through the "Snakified Images" category, as it includes every snakified grump already uploaded onto the wiki. This will help prevent duplicated images
Obviously the screen resolution isn't going to be the same for every device, but just try to make sure the screenshots aren't too blurry n stuff. Also, with naming the files themselves, please try to use this format:
"BUGSNAK Snakification GRUMPUS"
For example it'll be like ""Bunger Snakification Filbo". This will help with keeping the files organized in their categories
When uploading the images onto the wiki, please please include these categories in the summary of the upload. Again, this help a BUNCH with organizing images 🔽🔽🔽
The "GRUMP" and "SNAK" should be replaced with the respective grumpus and bugsnak in the image
also please dont just go onto the Fandom Wiki and save and upload all of the snakifications from there, it may seem easier but it's really not worth it
I think I made this clear enough, but if u have more questions just ask me 👍
silly comic of a conversation in-game i thought was too funny not to make something proper for instead of a doodle ww
(timelapse + wip images (thus silly process commentary in read more if you like artist commentary :3)
i think the sketch looks silly and goofy and funny so i find it important to share with you the mere presence of the faces i drew on it. i drew it on top of the boxes without staying inside its borders because i find my proportions can get wonky if i draw them cropped in a restricted space. and I feel trapped otherwise and i will draw BAD!!! give me spaceeeee to go wild!!!!
the head circles are there for emotional support
very low res speedpaint because truth is the canvas was much bigger than the space where my comic was placed. i didnt account when exporting my timelapse in 720px that that tiny space would look so pixelated ... but it's able to be percieved, so its okay.
(i will now comment on my process and it is not brief sorry)
usually i would try to clean up my sketches and figure out what goes on top before jumping into linework, but since there are multiple panels and drawings i chose to jump into inking right away for the sake of brevity. i just went in with a brush that uses pen pressure and drew what was needed. i added extra line thickness and contrast in areas around the face because it helps direct your eyes there more easily that way.
according to her equipment rei has a chain belt but i only remembered it existed once I was going to color, and i did not like that discovery... I chose to ignore it to maintain my peace. i already have the color palettes for these characters figured out, and i didnt really want to think about a new element at the moment www I tend to overthink those things a lot so i skipped it
the rest is rather straightforward! not that anything else wasn't, but in here i could turn my brain off and sing. linework and sketching require mumbling so i cannot turn my brain off. just block in the characters with a solid color so i can have a mask (something along those lines,) where the color can stay inside. then just color in !!!
Base colors just had slight cell shading on the skin, and for the hair i airbrush a bit of the skincolor in low opacity near the forehead... I'm not sure what it means, but i can look at the faces easier with it somehow. i like the gentle subtlety it adds even if you cant really tell. it makes things look nice.
background was just me blocking in the color of the wall and floor, shade the wall a bit, then slap a noise and free use wood texture on top. work smarter not harder ! yet it took a bit to make it look stylistically fitting with the characters, and even now i think bottom middle panel looks odd. whatever!!!
for the middle panel i thought itd be funny if the background was a solid silly and colorful one to contrast the next panel's sketchy black one. a contrast to how the word widow is seen. on that note my handwritting is not pointy. i gaslighted my hand into thinking that it was indeed pointy in that moment so i could write "not-yet dead person" in letters that didn't seem cute. my hand did not fall for it but it complied anyway
that's basically it! I'm not sure what else i could say that doesn't feel barebones because it really is that straightforward. if you're curious I used clip studio paint for this. only special brush used was for linework (a brush named Lemon Brush), the rest used were just the default. my computer gets the least credit. it was trying to convince me a 20mb file was going to nuke it all the time and hardly let me save multiple times so i do not appreciate it
im late to the tc ask party but holds a microphone out. what r ur species headcanons and why. explain like english class /j
you are never too late my ask box is ALWAYS open please send me asks please send me asks ple
nearly all of these headcanons i share with my qpp @femmedeadlox !!!
grabs the microphone... piglin sky. Walk with me here. it would explain his almost obsessive love for gold budder, and just.... imagine him with lil piglin teeth poking out of his mouth. cmon. that's adorable. he sucks with a crossbow, but is excellent with a sword.
jerome is a tundra born dog wolf... thing. i'm still fleshing it out. wolf boy jerome just scratches an itch. left his pack due to how "uncivilized" he thought they were, and instead got close with mitch, a village born human, who is objectively more uncivilized than them. i like to think his eyes aren't the best they used to be, but his sense of smell and hearing has strengthened because of it. he is just a little puppy at heart i'm sorry.
mitch, jason and seto are all human to me, but seto has somehow broken the code and now has levitational powers. they're weak, only really aiding him in his work occasionally, but it's still a significant thing. the majority of his free time is dedicated to figuring out how he broke the code and strengthening those powers.
deadlox is. i think it's obvious. enderborn. he's a descendent of the ender dragon, and is tasked to protect the end- after he is done with his training. what he lacks in size and brute strength, he makes up with his speed and agility. his main form of attack is his talons, since he currently can't control his fire breath well. he's working on it ok !!!!!
adding onto jason, while he's human, i feel like throughout his time playing he's modified his body in more and more ways. basically a cyborg at this point- i like to think he's almost obsessed with trying to better his body. he doesn't necessarily want to be the strongest, or fastest, or anything like that. he just wants to see how much he can push his body. what more can he change. he loves making scientific breakthroughs, but he refuses to experiment on any other living being, so he experiments on himself. the worst that'll happen is he'll die and respawn- so what's the harm?
ummm these were everything that came to mind i Just woke up. if there's anyone that i missed or you want to share your OWN headcanons with me PLEASEEEEE SEND AN ASK I LOVE HEARING HEADCANONS
netflix one piece live action feels a little like fanfic in that it makes sure it hits all the important notes but doesnt do all the work to make them hit which works in fic where the reader is supposed to bring all the emotional story investment from the original but doesnt work in a multi million adaptation that is supposed to be able to stand on its own or even serve as an intro to the series. it even does this in service to have more koby and helmeppo gay moments in this essay i w
Ok Kira art !! Sorry the quality kinda sucks, anyway I love her so much. One of my top three riptide npcs fs
