HIII ALEX!!! for the wip asks i’d love to see ‘I Am Not Immune To Peer Pressure’ (me neither 😌) and also high priestess whO IS THE HIGH PRIESTESS I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!

Hi TOSYE! 💕

So, first things first: there was no actual peer pressure involved in the first one 🫣 I was just coming off of the high of having drawn my first Rex (AYY!) and feeling like I can totally do portraits again, look at that! And we were talking with @firstofficerwiggles and she asked if I’d maybe drawn Howzer yet? And after some googling I was like “no, but now I’ll have to!” (Look at that hair!) And then I got to sketching, and realized that I didn’t like it, it didn’t have the vibes I’d been aiming for (the little one in the left corner), but now I corrected it I think, so now I’m trying to figure out my colours 😬 (but in reality I’m just using my newly discovered enthusiasm for the clones to draw every shot I like of Tem, basically XD)

Secondly, High Priestess is the tarot card! Since 2021 I started drawing the major arcana for my sister as birthday and Christmas presents (she was kind enough that she gave me basically a lifelong project - my life is so much easier when I’m covered for gift ideas for her for years!). She already has Strength, Death and The Emperor printed out in her hand - I’m just seriously lagging on the high priestess for the time being, because she is the first one out of armor and my comfort palette and I’m really feeling it XD so at this rate she will get her and the Empress at the same time for her birthday ^^; (I read somewhere that they were sisters anyway, and share the pattern that is on the veil behind the priestess, so that is kinda fitting) I’m really happy to work on this project for her! I always try to pick a card that would fit her circumstances, and I enjoy the challenge of drawing strong women (in whatever sense of the word, and ladies in armor is always a win!) and try to incorporate some drag elements as well (although I am less good with that). (I’m really, REALLY pleased with Death)

HIII OYSTER MWAH for the wip game!! i’d love to see ‘bet you 50’, ‘cobbothan uhhhhhhh’ (such a good title) and alSO SINCE VALENTINES IS COMING UP. MHM YOU KNOW IT

TOSYEEE SMOOCHA HIIIIIIII

three wips, coming up o7

"bet you 50" is an idea from a tiktok i saw a while ago: two ppl in a room, looks like an office? or like a security thing? idk anyway one person on a chair and another person standing in front of said chair. all of the sudden the person standing grabs onto the belt and yanks the sitting person up in the air . it's a great tiktok and i said "oh this is tim and raylan :)"

raylan: "i bet you 50 you can't move me out of this chair 😌"

tim:

idk if i'll ever finish it, might be too much for poor little me but it's a fun thing and i'm keeping the idea in the works!!!

"cobbothan uhhhhhhh" is JDFGDKFJ Spice tee em for the dincobb server only, IF i decide to ever finish it. i wanted to make a mirror piece and quickly realized it's. very difficult. at least for me and my knowledge.

i have no idea why i named it that. if i had to guess it's probably bc of my humiliated mind having to think about what im drawing and it just trying to make up for it by naming it something banal LMAO

AND for the finale, my (lets hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) valentine's one!!! i have ,uh four days left, we'll see where it gets me LFMAOF

this piece has been all over the place ._. i had a clear picture in my mind but nooOOooo it has just decided not to listen. hopefully it'll be a cute final piece regardless !

thAnk you for the ask!!!

ask me about my wips

[iwasnotaslasher]

Just updated my a/b/o DinCobb! Enojiy it and thank @tosye for the inspiration!

[mjpens]

The incredibly talented @tosye drew mullet din and it's like we have the same brain bc I was thinking about drawing din with a mullet too. And then we were gifted those gorgeous pics yesterday so I had to combine the two.

[omaano]

hi hun!! for the artist asks i’d love to see 5, 16, 20, 30!! take care❤️❤️

hi, love! thank you for asking!!❤️❤️

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

It's hard to say, because aside from some commission pieces I haven't posted yet the stuff that I keep for myself as wips and some idea sketches that didn't even make it to proper sketch status. So I share about 90-95% of my finished work online. Since I'm a rather slow artist I kinda have to post everything if I want to stay on the online radar lol (that said I almost kept my last dincobb piece to myself XD) I wish I sketched more so that I could feel a bit like I'm keeping a digital sketchbook for myself, you know? That used to be a feeling (and letting certain people flip through it, wasn't that a feeling)

16. Something you are good at but don’t really have fun doing

One could argue if I'm good at it or not, but painting with colours. I'm working on it, but aside from a few times when I'm itching to do it and try and be messy I just really want the initial ugly phase to be over, and then it naturally lasts forever. (or Cobb's face. I'm not sure if I'm really good at it anymore, but I sure as hell don't have fun trying to draw it out D': )

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

I'll admit to being a weirdo and say that I quite enjoy drawing feet on the rare occasion I do it, especially the shape of a heel and the bone of the ankle. There is just something very satisfying about drawing out those shapes. Plus toes don't wiggle around as much as fingers do, so that's definitely a point in their favour.

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

I already answered this here, but if I had to pick another one, if I really must, it'd be this little BobaDin drawing - but I'm really not complaining. As I said, I'm coming from rareship hell, where 20 notes meant I was doing REALLY good XD All that said, I like the light purple and the pinkish red in there (I was having a bit of a crisis over using those colours, I distinctly remember feeling very daring for pulling up the saturation on them a little)

More Weirdly Specific Artist Asks :)

The desert witch and his.... something tooths-y

A last one (for now) for my witch!Cobb AU for Monster Mash on the Dincobb server *kisses to all of you*

[tosye]

guess who’s a weak bitch and just bought hades nbxhdhxjjxbx

[omaano]

I guess you've already got a dozen of these BUT

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

That is a rather flattering assumption, my dear, but I believe I've proven to have a horrible track record in answering asks, and where is the fun in sending such nice asks to someone who will just hoard them and then feel too ashamed to answer months late? ^^; Anyway, thank you very much for this askl! ❤️ And while it is a bit mean to make me pick favourite(s) from my children, I'm only gonna pick one here (not even my biggest recent fave), because I want to talk about it and show off some details.

I thought about picking my recent cowboys DTIYS redraw, because that would illustrate pretty well the direction where my art inevitably seems to be going (and the one time where Cobb's face didn't fight me like it was his job - and returned to the old normal of Din giving me grief lol) BUT, then I remembered that I filled my (so far) last Desert Witch!Cobb AU drawing with quite a few details, and I want to show them off and talk about them a little. So here we go:

I wanted to showcase the colour palette I predominantly used in all my pieces for the Monster Mash drawings - I'll admit that I'm not very confident in my colours, so Procreate's feature of generating colour palettes for me from already existing photos is an absolute godsend, otherwise I'd be stuck with my purples and pink-oranges for eternity. I had to add the blue for a bit of contrast though, but by the third drawing I really enjoyed the warmth of these bright oranges and reddish browns. They added to a nice and cozy feeling while I was freezing and huddling close to my little electric heater.

Plus this is a good shot to point out all the shinies dangling from Cobb (he's now got a mythosaur pendant with dangling beads for the teeth(?)), and the tattoo on his arm I had an awful lot of fun with! Something's clicked in my brain and now it's permanently stuck on pairing Cobb with suns and moons imagery (mostly the moons, because A) Din is the one who is shiny and blinding and hurtful to look at when he's fully decked out in his armour, and B) I find the dichotomy of the deadly sharp points and curve of a crescent moon vs the gentle face of a full moon very fitting for our Marshal here). So he's got two crescent moons on the underside of his forearm and elbow, and a third one on the right side of his neck. And there is also a sun on the curve of his shoulder, behind the sharp-toothed skull (because I gave in and finally put a sun on him after you all somehow kept seeing it on him - although it still eludes me how you managed that ^^;). He had another one on his right shoulder as well, but well. Glass doesn't take all that well to tattooing, does it? He's also got a lot of swooping cloud and smoke shapes to match his eternally billowing robes and the sand-storms that hide in his pockets.

And now to the fun part of the chaos that the background was:

I really wanted to put an absolute mess of a workbench behind Cobb, and I tried my best to deliver it - then forgot to take into consideration how much of it he'd block out with his shoulders XD and so I filled it with books, datapads and candles, little notes and jars and vials and a real fancy scale that I tried to model after the krayt dragon. And then once I realized how many of those details got covered up, in my infinite wisdom I erased everything instead of just masking them out so that I wouldn't even be tempted to somehow work them back into the picture... so I had to take these snapshots from my process video (hence the poor screenshot quality, sorry ^^;) but this way you can also see how I used those box shapes to try and keep even the otherwise circular/organic shapes of the flowers and pots (and cauldrons omg, were those a struggle!) in perspective. I think that was a neat little trick.

It was really challenging, and I cursed myself a lot for the angle I picked for this picture, but in the end it was very rewarding to see that while I never thought I'd ever be able to pull off a detailed background, I still managed to do this here!

[tosye]

i can’t get this out of my head but the way the new dbd survivor looks like a mix of negan and cobb and the new killer is an. armoured. helmeted. knight. much to think about

[tosye]

alright i did not want to clog the tl with my art ramblings but. at this point i honestly don’t know what to do jshdhdjdjdjd any advice is more than welcome!!

soooo i’ve been in the worst kind of artblock for like two months now (which is the longest any of my art blocks ever lasted so that’s. def contributing to me feeling bad). the thing is that i can clearly see how much i’ve improved with anatomy and technique and actually observing stuff yet still. i don’t like it?? i haven’t liked any of my pieces for a while now?? which fuxking SUCKS ASS LET ME TELL YOU

granted i have been trying to switch things up quite a bit lately and maybe it’s just me readjusting to the new workflow?? maybe it’s that even tho i feel kinda confident in this workflow already?? i did switch form a 10.2 ipad to a huge and i mean HUGE display tablet in the beginning of nov too and i know a lot of folks suffer a weird learning curve over the course of getting used to the new setup but then again. i feel like i’m already past that 1.5 months later?? another thing is that. inside of me there are two wolves snbdjdjdjd one wants to go really realistic and the other wants to simplify shit and i’m just. so torn between the two I HATE IT HERE ANDHHXBDJDJD

so there are just. a couple of different things going on at the same time and i’ve been trying to both wait and work this through and. neither seems to be working?? idk if i’m not seeing SOMETHING or if it’s just. gonna be like that for a while but. if anyone has any thoughts/advice for me please PLEASE share ILL DO ANYTHING AT THIS POINT LMAO

[tosye]

HIIIII i’m once again going on a semi-hiatus!! i’ll try to keep the posting schedule somehow consistent but other than that i won’t really be on here much for a bit!! as always if you want me to see something or just wanna talk you can always send an ask or dm me!!

hope you’re all doing good MWAH ❤️❤️
