Happy Halloween!!
Did you hear about the biting incidents around town lately? They say the perpetrator targets beautiful femmes specifically.....
I drew vampire AJ because as much as I love vampire Rarity, I think there's so much potential in butch vampires (Not me having thought of my own butch OCs as vampires SIGH <3)
Anyway! WIPs as well as the finished pieces are up on Patreon if you wanna have a look already! WIPs will stay exclusive but I'll post the finished pieces at some later point to tumblr ♥
-> If you check it out on Patreon: cw for blood. Come on, she's a vampire. What did you expect?
#I have to say I'm pretty proud of the coloration#It was a STRUGGLE#and I'm trying to slowly get out of my comfort zone#anyway - I told you I'm going to be a bit annoying with the patreon#If you wanna filter them out this is the tag ->#patreon sneak peak#mlp#rarijack#my art#applejack#rarity#wip

Reuniting With Henry
Levi
I've been working on myself lately. It's been a challenge, especially with also having to prepare to venture out into the human world, but I feel like it's been worthwhile.
Instead of spending all of my free time in my room, I've tried to socialize with other people in the real world. Specifically, some of my online friends. I figured that if they liked me in that space, then they'll probably be okay with me in a real-life setting. And for the most part, they do. I mean, there's been a couple of incidents where the opposite has been true, and that was demoralizing in the moment, but then I think about what MC would do or say.
One of the things I like about MC is their willingness to take risks, particularly when it comes to interacting with people. If they worry about looking like a fool, they don't show it. Rather, they allow themselves to be authentically who they are, regardless of what others may think about them.
As I watch MC observe Henry, I reflect on our relationship and how it's progressed. I certainly didn't like them in the beginning. I thought they were just another scummy normie who only cared about themselves. Of course, some of that was probably me projecting what I felt about Mammon onto them, but still. It wasn't like I was a big fan of them, either.
But scummy normies don't insist on befriending someone simply because they like them. They usually want something in return, but not MC. It seemed like the harder I pushed them away, the more persistent they were, but it wasn't obvious at the time. No, it was little things that they did that added up overtime, and soon I couldn't deny it: I liked MC.
Enough to let them chill in my room with me.
Enough to want to experience things outside my comfort zone.
Enough to touch them.
Kiss them.
Fu--
"Levi? Are you alright?" Shit. How long had I zoned out for? Apparently long enough for MC to move on from Henry and start rummaging through a box of games.
"I'm fine," I answer, trying not to sound too startled. "Just thinking, that's all."
"About...?" My anxiety tells me to change the subject, but I won't let it dictate my actions this time. I know MC won't judge me. They've proven that time and time again.
"You."
"Me?" They stand up, and I force myself to step closer to them. They seem surprised, but not in a bad way. At least, I don't think.
"I never thought that I would enjoy spending time with you." I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. "I always have a lot of fun when we're together. I mean, I know we've been playing games online, but it's not the same as having you next to me." MC smiles.
"I feel the same way about you." They reach up and pat my shoulder, and I have to will myself to stay put and not run away. "I'm proud of you, Levi. I know you struggle with admitting your feelings, especially towards me."
"I'm trying to get better at that."
"It takes time." MC pauses as they grab my hand. "The important thing is that you're trying."
They look so sweet.
I know what the moment calls for, but I can't seem to move. At all.
"You're blushing."
"I have to prepare myself." The thought leaves my mouth as soon as it pops into my mind. Thankfully, MC appears to understand what exactly I'm referring to, for they gently touch the side of my face.
"On the count of three?"
"Okay." Did not expect that to come out as a whisper. Then again, my throat feels a bit tight, so that would explain why I sound a bit hoarse.
"One." I close my eyes and focus on the feeling of their hand.
"Two." I take a deep breath, and my mind suddenly becomes clear.
"Three." I don't know which is more surprising: the fact that I'm the one who finished counting or the one who initiated the kiss. In any case, MC embraces me, and the next thing I know, I'm sitting on my computer chair with them straddling my lap.
#obey me shall we date#obey me mc#obey me levi#obey me leviathan#keeping levi as a self-loathing shut-in?#out#having levi slowly begin to work on increasing his confidence and going out of his comfort zone?#in#definitely in#the devs don't seem to think so#but this is my rewrite#and i'm sticking to it#we love some positive character development in this corner of the internet

Ok I’m glad I found the actual ask box instead of the EMBARASSING thing I did earlier, aside from that
How long does it usually take you to make a drawing? :3 I know it’s different depending on the caliber of the drawing but for an example let’s say just Barnaby and Wally doing whatever in a scene
I’m very curious about your process!! ^w^
i just saw what you mean and for your sake i'll Pretend I Did Not See lol. its ok tho it happens, Tumblr's a tough cookie to wrangle
hm. it Does vary wildly, both depending on quality, how used to scribbling a thing i am, and how well the art-mojo is flowing! on a bad night, a simple sketch could take an hour while the same sketch on a good night could take 15 minutes
and it's also hard to say since i don't really keep track! for example, The First One in this collage is a more involved sketch and i suspect it took thirty minutes maybe? i remember having some Difficulties so maybe longer? trying to get size differences between multiple characters in the same sketch adds a Lot of time, as does making sure they interact properly. while the last one in the collage (the Nom) probably took closer to ten minutes
i know the Laughingstock in Aziracrow's outfits i belted out in, oh... an hour or three? it's really hard to say! i think it was several bc i was watching gomens at the time, and i think it got through a couple of episodes... clothes add a lot of time! but certain things that i thought i did Quickly took hours in reality, and i only notice when i look up and see the clock has Changed Drastically! i have a very loose perception of time!
it really just depends on my motivation & how used to drawing something i am. like scribbling Eddie takes a while, lots of guidelines and erasing and redrawing. but scribbling Barnaby? easy. takes me seconds in comparison. way less guidelines - i know where everything is and where it goes! drawing dragons takes even less time - This One was done in a Blink, and the only guides i used were head circle / snout circle / jawline.
#the Size of the sketch absolutely makes a big difference#like sketch comms are really tough since im drawing them at a Much bigger resolution#and it throws off the feel of the brush & i have to go about it in a drastically different way than what im comfortable with#because i want to provide the Best Resolution/Quality possible!#and then tiny sketches are easy and quick cause it's close quarters. cozy!#and im more accustomed to keeping my brushstrokes Tight and Short#but im slowly getting used to scribbling Bigger!#just today i realized i was automatically scribbling larger than i used to#good! higher quality!#it will translate into my comms hopefully!#i still have one left... ive been slowly chipping away at it#rambles from the bog#i think im underestimating the time...#bc i Do draw slowly i think#it usually takes a while!#unless im In The Zone and then im belting things out at lightspeed#like remember that glorious time period where i was posting every day often Twice a day and the queue was backed up for Days?#yeah.... me too....#i am very rarely in the Zone#its tough to think and its tough to Create and the process is so much!!!#it takes Energy i rarely have! so that slows it down too...#but yeah my 'process' is very much Not a process lmao#in the wise words of hobie brown: i dont believe in consistency#its not in my nature! to my detriment more often than not!

After the journal entry for Open Your Scars, I had to do it.
This is the second draft of the card. The first one followed the set up for the RWS a whole lot more but I got struck like lightening tonight and have been working on this since... uh... okay I've probably been working on this for 7 hours now but it was totally worth it.
#my art#durge: zaelis#the dark urge#bg3#I started learning tarot the year BG1 came out I had to#slowly forcing myself to get further and further outside my comfort zone

i need to read orv im sorry .
#i wrote a list of things i want to do / experience and man ill be 40 before i get#halfway thru at this pace#it always astounds me how peopl can get so much done and try so many things#without becoming fatigued!#im slowly getting better at going out of my comfort zone#but i need to extend that to my free time as well…#am i truly to fatigued to try something new or do i fear wasting my time?#anyways. to make the task less daunting i will read At Least#the first chapter tomorrow night before bed#just need to get the ball rolling …. as with most things

I was gonna post this a day before the grand festival’s splatfest but, ended up finishing this ahead of time.
#rottmnt#tmnt 2018#rise!raph#rise!donnie#jpr draws#jpr sketches#idk I feel like I’m being so annoying with this idea that I needed to draw it out#so it gets out of my system#like you have no idea how both of these series started to slowly get me to sketch more#I’m still in the slightly hesitant to post these days because of overthinking and being busy with classes but#something pulled me out of my comfort zone and I’m taking a leap of faith with it#since I’m having fun with it so doing my best trying not to be overwhelmed at the moment ; _ ;

this summer i need to cut my hair and buy silly t-shirts and stop being apologetic abt merely existing and do things even though i'm very bad at them and be earnest & bouyant and stop thinking i'm being punished when bad things happen and read books i've never heard of and be in any body of water as much as possible and be less afraid of people crushing my heart when i give them it!!!!! Basically i need to go on walks even when i don't feel like it so every time i do i will be enraptured by the world like i always am 🙏❤
#i booked an appointment to cut my hair & got two books i'd never heard of before and every time i go to the thrift store i look for silly#t-shirts and in regards to all the other stuff i will try very hard. and that at least is something.#ALSO i will watch tv shows from ten years ago and go to concerts without feeling alienated when i'm there and stop feeling like i'm running#in a race of time with other ppl my age that i will never win and be open to new experiences and push myself out of my comfort zone 👍#double also!! i will stop being scared to wear certain clothes bc i think i'll be judged for it and i will be more easygoing with strangers#and i'll stop feeling like i'm slowly wasting away and i will stop feeling like i'm bothering everyone all the time and i will learn arabic#and greek and hindi and freshen up on my spanish & latin. the latter ones i am already busy with <333#owl app i hate u but u do get me places. oh also if anyone's studying languages atm memrise.com is a pretty good site too!!!#ANYWAY. bucket list 4 the summer 👆#through rain and wind and other hashtag bad weather i WILL swim this summer mark my words ☝️

oof, at least we're out of the sketch stage!
#WIP#I'm sorry for showering you with WIPs instead of the finished stuff#I knew drawing Xeddrinth's mirror-shine scales will be a painstaking process but I think it's slowly starting to pay off#I'm getting a little out of my comfort zone with this one as I don't draw couples often#But they're too cute so I don't regret anything#thunderboltfire's art

i really want to go to this local book club but so far, i have struggled getting through the (two) books they planned to discuss. it's not even that they're bad books, i just severely don't vibe with the style or am very uninterested in the subject matter
#it's less about stepping out of my comfort zone and more that i just don't find it compelling#AND i'm slowly getting out of a year-long reading funk so i don't want to get bogged down just because i feel like i HAVE TO read sth#i hope the next book will be better for me because the club sounds really interesting#but i just don't feel like investing that much effort in those books i'm not really enjoying much 😔#.
