Knight Commander Zell

--Detail shots and Ephemera under the cut!--

It's taken two weeks, but he's D O N E!!!!

This was a huge challenge, and I'm so happy with it. I've wanted to do a custom portrait for a while, but my skills weren't quite caught up to my ambition. UNTIL NOW.

My goal was to reflect his multicultural heritage and well-traveled life while still keeping it close enough to the aesthetic of the in-game portraits. He was born and mostly raised in Hongli (sorta-kinda Mongolia) until moving to Ustalav (I like to make it sorta-kinda Czechia). In the background there's an Ovoo - a border marker normally found throughout Mongolia, Tibet, and surrounding areas. The mountains themselves are a little bit Altai, a little bit Orlicke.

His jewelry consists of hammered silver, turquoise, coral, carnelian, jade, and a little bit of amber, from a friend. The jewelry designs and embroidery I designed to try and pull from both backgrounds - thankfully both Czech and Mongolian artisans love tiny beads and horse-shaped things. The pouch is where he keeps his spindle; he keeps the spinning fleece tucked into his outer robe :3 He spins from the fold, btw, for those in the know:

Speaking of fleece, I love how the fleece on his robe came out:

Look at that. COZY.

As for Zell himself, decided one of his Dhampir tells would be ridges on the inside of his ears, like a fruit bat:

It pleases me greatly.

I decided to go with a wry expression because, well, I know what I'm about. I know that in my head, Sosiel is painting this portrait of his friend while Daeran is standing over his shoulder, making loud and goofy commentary about his future husband, who is down bad but trying so hard to keep a straight face for this portrait.

Anyway, it's time I take a little break before going in and adding the endgame, full Azata details (because of COURSE I'm doing a full Azata version.) and then I can rest up before... Perhaps... offering portraits of this type for commission.

YAAAAY U REPLIED TO MY ASK! 1!!! 1! 1! 1!! (also can we have some more shadow hating Robotnik for existing and loving stone for... Also existing)

They're all adapting

#ask ask ask #stobotnik #agent stone #doctor ivo robotnik #shadow the hedgehog #shadow doesn't understand the dynamic but he will protect stone #stone just thinks the doctor is acting a bit weird but hey at least he's not dead #robotnik is trying to... be a good boss-friend? honestly he doesn't know #he just wishes shadow would leave #also i headcanon that ivo built Stone's motorbike #was probably the first thing he actually created once he recovered from the events of the second movie #and he added a bunch of stuff stone never uses and a lot of safety things #(he just came out of multiple surgeries stone you don't need to go through that too)#but anyway it's a very cool bike so in this particular au i think stone would he like #hey doctor maybe you can do one for shadow too!#and ivo goes haha. never. NEVER.

Just your average male living space.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wen qing #lan wangji #A-Yuan #wei wuxian #(***Content warning for me talking about unhygienic living conditions in the tags today***).#The worst part of drawing this comic is that I've seen so much worse. This is a livable space.#I've helped out friends and family who were struggling and let me just say...I have seen some pretty dysfunctional living spaces.#Hell I've *lived* in some very dysfunctional living spaces.#Hording dishes under the bed was always something that grossed me out but it's unfortunately something I've seen people do way too often.#The horror everyone has upon walking into WWX's 'living' set up is so consistently 'Mate how are you living like this?'#It's honestly so integral to me that WWX's 'just left home for the first time' house/room be a depression/dysfunction pit.#You can learn a lot about someon's state of mind from how they keep their living space...and this guy is oozing 'deep depression'.#I don't think he's eaten anything but foods that classify as a struggle meal in a year.#Everyone is trying to stage an intervention but he just isn't in a good enough place to help himself.#By the way: I want to steer away from shaming people who have messy homes/rooms because life *does* hit hard sometimes.#My love language is coming into your home to do your dishes and do some housework. Don't apologize for the mess king.#Nothing could top some of the places I've had to help my older siblings out of.#I'd be okay with my flatmate having a severed limb and a blood pool at this point.#As long as he lets me take out the dishes from under the bed - We're good! My standards are so low at this point.

behold. my collection of arthur morgan doodles i kept telling myself i would post (some of these are almost a month old now)

#praying to god the quality isnt so ass that you can't read my handwriting. it's a little hard to read sometimes LMAO #i love how you can see his outfit change after the first set of doodles bc i finally went and bought new clothes for him in my playthrough #i liked his default shirt a lot... but then i got to saint denis and found the black shirt and he's been wearing it since <3 #i've been having so much fun playing the game i have like. probably 80 hours in it now. i'm still on chapter 2 btw #im just too scared of what's gonna happen later on and also there's a billion things for me to do i can stay in ch2 forever honestly #anyways. hope everyone enjoys my cowboy era <3 i dont know how this started but i think i'll be here for the foreseeable future #red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #arthur morgan #allyart

given cass's canonical love of reality tv, I am absolutely certain that every year babs has to go into cbs's recruitment email and delete her survivor audition video

#cass watching people pass out from malnutrition and heat stroke while doing endurance challenges: skill issue #she'd way less good at the social side of things in that a lot of people would hate her for being an asshole #but also she'd always know when they're lying to her and also be 30x smarter than they've underestimated her to be #also I think she'd be good at finding immunity idols #honestly I think people would want her in their alliances for her inability to lose at challenges in the first half of the game #and then be utterly blindsided by how sneaky and clever she is in the back half #and she'd literally always have immunity so like #cassandra cain #this deserves to be in the tag I'm RIGHT #if you saw that I said the cw in the first version of this post no I didn't

Really enjoyed @cyphertronix's Game Changer/Gravity Falls art, so

...and then I started thinking about "Like My Coffee", so here are some of those:

#gravity falls #game changer #my art #dipper pines #mabel pines #soos ramirez #ford pines #stan pines #fiddleford mcgucket #i thought of the 'neglected' one with fiddleford and nearly laughed out loud #and so i had to draw em out #honestly this was good practice for drawing strong-jawed dudes lol theres lots of subtle head tilts going on here #i tried to erase the actual contestants from the coffee ones bc the background's mostly consistent #but then. i got sleepy.#sorry to the fiddlefreaks out there this is my first time drawing him and its to joke about his canon divorce lol

ACT 2 "You're... me?" "That's right, stardust!"

You know I've been drawing Loop as their Siffrin form so much that it's got me thinking. I've read and seen so many fics and artworks of Loop eventually getting back to looking like their old self, but I don't think I've seen any so far of Loop already being a mirror copy of Siffrin. So uh, yoink?

ISAT AU where the game plays out the same way (plot-wise at least) but Loop looks like Siffrin the whole time and while Siffrin is extremely perplexed that there's another him, he's still gotta accept their help because how else are they supposed to escape the loops? Good ol' Loop is here to help, helpful friendly Loop!

Siffrin is going through it still but Differently.

#In Stars and Time #ISAT #ISAT Spoilers #ISAT Siffrin #ISAT Loop #ISAT AU #illustration #digital art #artists on tumblr #fan art #two coins same side au #TCSS AU #id in alt #hazelnootart #think this is the first time i've come up with a proper AU at ALL so um! i'm going to call this #EDIT: CHANGED THE AU NAME BECAUSE I HAD A BIG BRAIN MOMENT OTW HOME FROM WORK #honestly i already have lots of ideas for this. like how the intro convo goes and how act 5 plays out when siffrin has the Moment with loop #and ESPECIALLY with how the convo “who do you think i am” will be changed i have thought IMMENSELY about that #i'll get to that one first at some point! i've got a lot on my plate art-wise but i'm excited to do this haha #if i still did writing (and had the ideas for a good plot) i would do it but comics and excerpts will do for now

Your beats make me sick

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #a-yuan #wen qing #wen ning #This scene raised several implications that range from retroactively hilarious -#-to confrontationally horrifying.#First with the hilarious bit; Hey! We've seen this scene before!#In fact - this particular duet is so similar to the duet LWJ and WWX perform to calm the mystery arm in Cloud Recess-#-That I am honestly flabbergasted WWX *didn't* realize LWJ would catch on his real identity.#Sure there are a lot of ways you could justify it. But also...even if he didn't play Wangxian.mp3...he would have been found out eventually #"I have to get away from LWJ by annoying him via flirting!' uhhh like you pretty much did throughout most of your late teens?#I think there is something a bit charming about WWX if he's truly that bad of an actor. Go on king. Live your authentic truth.#For the horrifying implications...I didn't depict it here but it's not *just* Wen Ning who breaks out and goes into a frenzy.#It is also the other corpses that are around the burial grounds.#You know; the ones that even he admits he has no idea how many there are!#It puts a lot more weight on 'how much longer do you really think you can do this?'#The village in the burial grounds was *always* under a time limit. It was a matter of when and how it would be destroyed.#And I do believe that firmly. As depressing and pessimistic as it is; The Wen Remnants were never meant to survive.

"I think I liked you better before you decided that feelings were something we need to discuss."

"Sorry to inconvenience you, but this year the role of Violet Sorrengail"—he points to me—"will be played by Xaden Riorson"—he taps his chest—"who will drag her, kicking and screaming if he has to, into a real relationship with real discussions, because he refuses to lose her again. If I have to evolve, you do, too." He folds his arms across his chest.

"Is he done talking in third person?"

still can’t believe the main thing that managed to convince Erik to stay with a bunch of strangers at a government facility was a hot guy telling him he has no friends 💀😭

istg Erik please raise your standards 😭😭 and the fact that Erik even stuck around in first place just screams down bad at first sight

sir i need you to respect yourself more because you can’t just expect good things will happen if you follow the hot guy around like a lost puppy you just got lucky this time

#i think about this a lot #honestly i don’t blame him i would be entranced by Charles the first moment i would meet him too #like damn…#and he pulled the knight in shining armor on him too like… can we get married 🥺#btw i feel like cherik were instantly attracted to each other when they first met but they fell in love during the road trip #that’s why i said down bad at first sight instead of love at first sight 😭😭#cherik #charles xavier #erik lehnsherr #xmen #professor x #magneto #xmcu #xmen first class #wish does not shut up
