#a bit like gesture drawings

i have a prompt for you (or a few lol, but this is the first): wiv and doodles!
The mess hall was much smaller than what Wiv expected. Looking at the size of the space when they boarded, he pictured huge rooms designed for hundreds of Coalition soldiers.
This place, it was closer to a cafe. The tables were sized to match, not the long cafeteria style tables meant to maximize space but individuals ones with three to four seats bolted to the floor. They were spaced enough for the semblance of privacy while anyone talking loud enough could be heard throughout the room.
It worked perfectly to his needs. He was slouched into a chair, legs up, face buried in his sketchbook. He stole furtive glances over it then his pen set to work sketch in board, round strokes, white ink on thick dark paper.
The subject of his undivided attention was Thelnym, eating slices of vegetables one at a time.
They had existed as larger than life in Wiv's imagination since he was a kid – a hero, an idol, the chosen of the progenitors. The real thing did not disappoint.
His style was usually very loose and based on the emotions people invoked in him, capturing their essence in a mess of lines. Thelnym's lines were hard to contain, to define. Wiv sketched to the very edge of pages and beyond. White ink covered the side of his hand. He liked the smudges it caused, the unpredictable nature of it, additions outside his control.
In quick succession he filled five pages. He had to memorize every detail, every feeling, immortalize it.
Their scales became spirals that wandered across rolling, overlapping hills of a body, their hair tangled vines transforming into a sky overhead. And always they were orbited by the vague shape of the woman they dwarfed as a planet does its moon. The woman sending disapproving stares his way. Thelnym didn't look at him once.
Wiv would pay more attention to the woman named Özgür later. He had sketchbooks designated for them all. The Coalition's first paycheck was put to good use stocking up on them before they left.
He didn't really have that much clothes anyway.

Halo
#mmm ok lemme just start w the tags then ill ramble#welt yang#hsr#honkai star rail#hi3#honkai impact 3rd#my art#ok anyways. i didnt have too many thoughts when i started it beyond “uni is killing me but i NEED to do my daily drawings”#some thoughts did go through my mind while drawing which determined the direction this went in#which is that this could be a badass heroic drawing but.. it isn't. this doesn't feel very happy does it?#it makes him look a bit lonely#but something about the pose and the red is ominous. like he's unreadable but theres something sad about it#the moon in the background has a bit of a double meaning - namely the actual moon and its purpose in hi3#as the final destination of the honkai and the story but.. him as well#and as a halo. i love that the three major organizations in hi3 are basically religious groups#and AE basically worships joyce and his legacy (!) and welt tries to fill that. i mean the title sovereign alone means like. absolute ruler#an untouchable figure in terms of power and control over their people#so i really like to give him some sort of fucked up fake halo. he can imitate a saintly figure but it dehumanizes him in turn#he even talks about humanity like he's not a part of it#what's left is some kind of creature mimicking divinity but becoming isolated and inhuman in the process#(gesturing wildly) THINK ABOUT THE COSMIC HORROR POTENTIAL OF BEING A HERRSCHER. HE LITERALLY PERCEIVES REALITY DIFFERENTLY. CMON.

#tko_art#oh my god i cooked#i fear i won't ever shut up about this#in my head#maybe i'll forget#but she's HOT#i slayed#jsut don't look too hard#anyway#lately been feeling like i suddenly got worse at art#and making this made me feel a bit better#even if that statement is silly#but i blame the depression#been dreading drawing because i suddenly got worse at it#but i'm just being silly#tomorrow hopefully i finish something#forgot how much I like gesture drawing#okey bye

HMM maybe classic ol moon and pebbles and the vanilla sibs (monk, survivor) for rw requests? You have no idea how excited i was to see someone else point out the possible parallels/symbolism between the 2 pairs of siblings when you made the post abt them ... either that or daszombes "iterator logs" characters, if youve seen it!
i am SO sorry for how long this took me to get to, holy shit, but ouhg yesssssss the sibling parallels are SO -punches wall- GOOD. are they speakin to the slugs? are they speaking to the wind, hoping it will carry their words all the way to the other? nobody will tell, nobody shall know
#rain world#rw#the request box#five pebbles#rw survivor#looks to the moon#rw monk#my art#IT... TOOK SO LONG CUZ LIKE the more vague the req is the harder it is to figure smth out like everyone gives me their ocs to draw so i go-#-into town with em right away cuz i just gotta put em on the paper but This oh boy.... i had to turn my brain on </3#n im STILL -so so gesture- bout this. the words r- once again- from the song funeral bell just a bit scrambled to fit better#hope ull enjoy!!! wanted to put more effort into it as an apology for the wait

"This is a message to you, who listens. You must trust me, because we are friends. You just don't know it yet. "
(The Road to PARTIZAN 05 : Ech0 & dusk to midnight)
currently halfway through PARTIZAN (making my way towards palisade extremely slowly. see u guys there in a month or two) & this is to date my favourite intro Austin has done. what an great introduction to an extremely cool character
#Partizan#road to partizan#friends at the table#fatt#gur sevraq#ive been wanting to draw something for that intro ever since i first heard it but i didnt. even know who gur sevraq was at that point.#but its been On My Mind#rosa art#im fairly happy with this i had a lot of fun coming up w the composition. it felt like a puzzle bc i knew what i wanted...#the lineless artstyle is something ive been trying out more and it doesnt come easy but it is fun. (so many layers.....)#you can zoom in for details because. ofthe person i am i always have to add little lines everywhere#well i usually write kind of a lot in the tags but ive been drawing for 5 hours nonstop. my brains kind of wiped.#i havent taken my walk yet so. i will now do that#...usually id listen to more partizan but millenium break is. literally not relaxing and i need to chill a bit#might put on the new bluff.#oh one more thing every time i relisten to that intro i do a little ME? gesture i hear that first line. its fun to me#edit: ok i moved the text slightly it was bothering me !#probably noone else will notice.

is this where u take the requests? if not, apologies lol still learning tumblr, I WAS WONDERING IF MY VARGAS RELATED REQUESTOBER REQUEST COULD BE JAKE/NNY? i feel like jake/nny is SO looked past like its actually so cute, they could be doing anything THANK U IF THIS WAS THE WRONG PLACE SORRY MWAH MWAH X
Day 12 - Once you had one hole in your skin, you've had 'em all
#My art#Requestober#Vargas#Jake#Nny#*looks at your comment of NnyGaster being cursed* *looks at this* Well I mean at least you're consistent#Of all the crackships I haven't considered I possibly haven't considered this one the most#I mean considering I Just got into Nny/Scriabin lol#I have extreme Edgar/Scriabin blinders lol this is known#Is this a thing and I just don't know? I can't even snark I just - it Literally Never Occurred to me lol#Edgar got all the shipping charts and diagrams and graphs he's special that way <3#I love Jake dearly and don't want him to be hurt! Unlike the Vargases lol ♥ I love them dearly and Do want them be hurt#Precarious position anyone who gets paired up with Johnny haha#I suppose if Johnny's still in Sweet Mode that's one thing but!! the rest of him!!!#Their dynamic over something like piercings Is interesting tho - Jake hangs out with artsy types and Nny is definitely that lol#And Johnny's y'know - weird about stuff lol - I could see him getting into a pierced partner! No pun intended#And obviously Jake is very good on boundaries <3 He's not actually touching him here just gesturing at his ear#It also occurs to me that I can't think of a time I've seen Johnny with tattoos :0 Body modification+art! (+bodily weirdness)#Might be something there to look at sometime hmmm#Anyhow - continuing my trend of drawing Nny on the hood of the car over the cliff haha#I didn't think I had leveled up all that much from last year but comparing the two??? I'm Way more pleased with this one#Still struggling with the bottom of the shoe but better! Practicing!!!#Maybe there Is something to drawing just a bit bigger lol#Nny also looks significantly less anemic from not having died yet lol#Really pleased with the harder edges of the unlined shapes ♪ I used that grass brush on everything and it's dope#Do I like backgrounds???? First lining now this so much to consider

When Maul and Obiwan touch foreheads in a piece of writing, my lifespan increases.
This was partly based on a scene in @nicolabarth's fic, Rage and Hope. Go check it out if you haven't already :)
#obimaul#obi wan x maul#obiwan kenobi#darth maul#star wars#star wars the clone wars#fanfic fanart#swtcw#my art#shippy things#i just think this gesture is so tender#i adore when any ship does it but especially these two because maul has horns and it's a sign of trust i feel#i didn't make obiwan's eyes completely gold because like i wanted this to apply to them in general not just in the fic#but if you look there's some specks of gold in there#maul#obimaulartfire#i get embarrassed drawing shipping things but i'm coming out of my shell a bit#anyway hope u enjoy :)#oh ALSO! (bc I love rambling)#i really tried to make the expressive nature of my artstyle more apparent here#i'm trying to embrace it you know? as much as i love clean lineart i love expressive pieces too

deep in the kingdom hearts trenches..
#beep boop you want fries with that#kingdom hearts#vexen#lexaeus#riku#ansem#i wanna draw lexaeus more but HIS HAIR IS GD NIGHTMARE#on the topic of lexaeus ik he doesnt raise his voice often but i made him do it for the bit. can you forgive me#btw vexen owes like. 50000 munny.#ALSO. riku-ansem. i liek in kh1 when ansem acts liek a gd FREAK in his body like sir WHAT ArE YOU DOING.#he does the exact same mannerisms and everything liek wooahh i love the attention to detail in kh and kh1 specifically.#guys did you know it took ppl many years to realize you can freeze the stove in trickmasters fight to make it easier wooaaahh#unfortunately riku-ansem in kh2 doesnt really have riku’s mannerisms reflected in ansem’s body which. sads#that wouldve been cutes.#the only time i cant think of that happening was when riku appeared hooded in front of sora in the mulan world#teh little gesture he does. and sora is liek. that must be him the only guy who does that is riku#but liek. the gesture is cute and awesome but riku’s expressions dont show up on ansem’s face sadly.#if you think he did then you are probably thinking of the manga. or theres a scene i havent seen yet#bc my kh2 knowledge is sloppy (LOL DAYS REFERENCE) due to me not having played the game when i was young#i only wwatched a cutscene comp when i was little#and memes. lots of meme videos#also hey can we all look at riku’s deranged smile when he was going to hit sora with the keyblade of the heart#FRANKLY ADORABLE.

hey that's not supposed to be out there (uploaded wrong version at first haha whoops)
#not supposed to be that color either#i wonder who that belongs to#i had a very vague meaning for this in mind but saying it would spoil the fun#christ this took me forever#i wanted to do a quick project to give myself a break from my final#but accidentally made an entirely new kind of nightmare#BUT i can proudly say that i am very proud of this despite how long it took me#alrighty this blog is all about tracking progress so my thought on this;#it's not really as energetic as i had hoped to make it so i think that's the biggest technical issue i have with this#i'll try to get back to doing more gestures soon as a way to help with that#i think my shadows are a bit confusing too#i'm looking at it now and his glasses kinda taper off into the void of his fur bc i didnt mark the shadow along the left of his ear#but the thought of digging back through layers to fix it and blending that mess in is giving me a headache so i'm content with leaving it#i think i learned a lot about light and reflections though#my shadows aren't the greatest but i had so much fun rendering the glasses#and the glow of the soul pushed me to think about bounce light a lot more#figuring out how to make the colors look like they were glowing was a whole separate issue#i did it in the last big ralsei drawing i did but not nearly to this extent#i won't be doing something this large for a while after this but i'll keep trying to work on the things i didn't like about this#i think i'm gonna start putting my self-crit in the tags from now on#it really does bulk up the posts and it's hard to scroll past#i like reflecting on my work like this though#i've been able to draw a lot more since i've started doing it because it helps me create specific goals for myself#lets me keep pushing myself while still having fun with my art#ralsei#deltarune#deltarune fanart

my only artistic goal in life is to become an expert at painting florence welch and florence welch only. i just have to like...learn how to draw first
#the hawk draws#florence welch#i know i'm not very good now but someday i will be the best fanartist she has ever had#i learned how to draw faces today. that was the first two attempts at drawing a real person after i studied the method i was trying to use#i am actually pleased with it considering i have not studied or tried to draw a detailed face in like 3 years#or like..really i haven't done a single thing except gesture drawings in the last 2-3 years#bc every time i tried to draw for fun it would just come out so bad and i'd get frustrated and quit drawing for another 6+ months :/#anyway yep i see some mistakes but i'm not going to touch them because these are studies not masterpieces#and the fact that i can see my mistakes is a good thing anyway#anyway yea i'm still not like. using tumblr but i figured i'd share a little bit of what i'm up to in case anyone cares lol

completely normal roommates bonding over completely normal things like *flips through notes* murdering each other and having complicated opinions on giant alien bats
#continuing my brainrot over this weird bat i made up: the saga#yin art#fallen london#they're fallen london ocs. it technically counts. even if one is imported from another school#everytime i draw the scoundrel they get a little bit more creature and that is so wonderful#also their coattails became curly. i dont know how or when this happened. they've just sorta got a little train#like a loser#if the anatomy looks weird that is because i am also a loser and fail and lame.#anyway. the scientist! he made a cameo! he's just chillin! my lovely guy who exists to be tormented forever and ever#no he doesn't wash that coat. no he probably doesn't wash. stinky guy. he'd probably eat the soap if he tried#he is going through the horrors every second of every day and still he finds time to lace up his boots and serve like that#what an icon#also the scoundrel doesn't actually probably wear their robe like that. i mean they would but it's not like a design update thing#they just have it for this doodle bc it's a cute nod to their batsona#ive run out of things to talk about. guys. they exist. gestures at them. you can imagine the rest.#oh and there's a spade. of course.#because if you know you know 🏠#my condolences to everyone else in the FL tag who's normal and sane. makes you look at my cartoon ass ocs#no apologies to my followers however this is the price you pay for letting me exist unfiltered on your dashboard#scoundrelventures

Because#though aura's hair was more extreme in the second panel in that version - i'm tired though and 3 days ago it was the same so no feelings to#change that lol :)#also i didn't shrink the noise enough so it didn't look right - and i was not going to reimport it so Bon Voyage my dude hfhs#was Supposed to fit on a 900x900 canvas but i made the panels a liiiiitle bit too big so it's 950x950#which is Fine it's a round number but it's not a Round-Round number so [gesturing]#1000x1000 was way too big for this little thing so she sits at a pleasant halfway point :>#//anyway i was also up til 3 a.m. last night doing ?? something ?? i genuinely don't even know what lmfhsbvh#nice though maybe my brain'll get a reset lol :3#stay up really late some random nights and jumpstart your brain!! it's foolproof!! never fails!!

kuwabara sketch dump bc i had a dream where he was just sittin there last night and i love him and i miss him :((
#im just projecting onto him a little bit#had a profound experience sitting in front of a drum kit that i never posted about but wrote a long ass ramble about. rip kuwabara you#would've loved drumming#hey wait wasn't he the drummer in that band official art#HE WAS OMG#anyway default gesture/stim/filler action has become doing the rock on thing at people like. all the fucking time#and i've also been getting vaguely into metal bc my buddy has good taste and is very passionate about metal#so like. again im just having experiences that i am now channeling through him. think it would be really funny to draw him renovating a#bathroom or something bc that's also going on in my life. i mean im not doing it but i wanna make him do and then regret diy plumbing#yyh#yu yu hakusho#kuwabara kazuma#also posting this at like 5am bc that's when i did it and also it's kinda bad lol#sometimes posts are for me. that's all#skrunkart

coming to the horrifying realization that i actually do want to be an artist while fully knowing how dumb and ill advised that is
#*****NOT actually in a career way#i want to like. be known as an artist i want to have people like my work on mass i want my art to stand on its own#i feel like people only like my art as like a friendly gesture towards me shelby and it doesnt really stand up on its own#(it being fanart doesn't help....i want to change thag i have ideas about original content but thats a whole other thing)#and idk i want to. create skilled work. and for people to know that about me that i can do that and like it LOL#i also do have enjoyment and love for art ive been thinking about art more and more lately even if i havent been drawing......#its not just an ego thing but yes its a little bit of an ego thing i think very justifiable (cope)#idk. i was thinking about like revamping and trying to organize my art better and my art accounts and accounts in general#my art does pretty bag algorithmically#and i dont want to change the content but i wonder if there is#actions I can do to become more like algorithm friendly as in size of canvas#layout formatting composition color etc etc yknow. jazz it up make it ''punchy'' make it more eye-catching to the mobile#experience LOL#there r definitely pieces that really do well bcs of their layout which im bad at esp on twitter#i need neeed to use twitter more for art actually#i always just refresh the for you and its actually pretty good at finding me different artists I actually like which....no other platform is#doing for me rn Pinterest sucks i keep going there for art inspo but it takes so long to like#hit a vein of good images......
