Ngl it was hard to think of unique ones but that was fun 😂

hallow's curse 🎃 geralt meets a pumpkin demon!

[aceofstars16]

I haven’t done one of these in ages but here we go 😂

Last song listened to: uh…*looks awkwardly at how I listened to the Ladybug movie songs on repeat while drawing my latest picture*

Currently watching: I guess Fetch with Ruff Ruffman. I found a site that has it and I’ve been enjoying the nostalgia

Currently Reading: Pleasure books? Uh…nothing atm, I started Inkheart but had to return it to the library. I have a few others I could start but just haven’t. The closest thing is I’m beta reading a book, but I’ve only read like three chapters I think lol (it’s not bad my brain just hasn’t been in reading mode). Not pleasure books, Me, Myself, and Lies by Jennifer Rothschild and Forgiving What You Can’t Forget by Lysa TerKurst

Current obsession: …probably the ladybug movie, I had no idea it would make me go all out analyzing and watching videos of it but here we are 😂

Not really much on tagging, go for it if you want

9(ish) People You'd Like To Get To Know Better

tagged by @cultivating-wildflowers ! thank you!

Last Song I Listened To: I've been cycling between Strawberry Switchblade albums, Ghost In The Shell 1995 ost, and the Hylics 2 soundtracks lately while I work :]

Currently Watching: I haven't been keeping up with any TV show of late but the last thing I watched was Twin Peaks; I really like it a lot. I watch a lot of movies though; I watched the 1977 Lord Of The Rings last Friday, I actually liked it quite a bit despite how tremendously silly it is

Currently Reading: The Curse Of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold, Stiff by Mary Roach, and No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy (audio book) I'm enjoying all of these a lot :]

Current Obsession: Trigun 💀 I'm still absolutely in the trenches. I also have grunge typography, 90s manga art, and dinosaurs/prehistoric animals making a resurface as an interest as well

"Blood moon"

This one originally started out as an ACEO I did about half a year ago. I couldn't let go of the design and decided to paint-over the scans I had and keep working on it.

Hi! I’m here for your new tarot game:) Happy 1 year anniversary btw 🩷

Your blog definitely reminds me of the song fairy of shampoo by txt, and because of that, I also think of Soobin from txt lol

I wanted to ask what jaehyun from nct’s ideal type is if that’s alright?😊

Jaehyuns ideal type 2024 ୨୧

(Done on the 5th of August, 2024)

Disclaimer: Everything is based on tarot and my intuition. I don't know these idols personally. Take everything that I say with a grain of salt. Let's get started! :)

Note: Ahh Soobin! He is so cute!

This took me a while. He wasn't that communicative. Also I used 2 tarot decks for this reading! Please enjoy ;)

Personality

6oS H, 2oC R, 6oW R, 7oC R, The Magician, 10oC, 5oW, 8oP; 3oC

Uhhhh!!! The energy I'm getting is literally HOT GIRL ENERGY! 🔥🔥🔥

Jaehyuns ideal type isn't an idol. Maybe not famous at all! A more private person! But Instagram comes to my mind... Maybe his ideal type would post a lot on social media (but maybe has a private profile?? 🤔) or maybe an influencer? It's just that he likes it if his partner wouldn't be as successful as him. Of course, they should have their goals and put effort into getting somewhere, but they shouldn't be on his level! Jaehyun also likes smart people! People who you can talk with about everything. Literally basic knowledge about everything! Also, fast thinkers and people who can hold a conversation and that talk very nicely (not necessarily as in what he wants to hear but just very well spoken). He likes someone who is clingy but not all the time! Sometimes, being physical is fine with him, but he doesn't want to be hugged and followed all the time. That's just not what he likes! When it comes to the relationship, Jaehyun isn't the type to be all lovey dovey! I mean, he can have feelings, and he CAN love someone, but the thing is, he wouldn't like a serious relationship that much. Of course, he would like a partner that he likes and they should like him too, but he doesn't like it that much! He also likes his partner to be a little tough... Like just energetic and powerful! His ideal type is also very social! A lot of friends and very outgoing!

The Star R, AceoS R, AceoP, The World, Temperance

Here, the energy is sweeter haha! 🍧 Idk why, but this is lowkey giving 'mommy' haha. Jaehyun likes someone very beautiful like very attractive! I'm being honest with you the energy is very feminine! Like 😅 I'm very sure that he is into women. He likes a woman that also takes care of him. That is there for him. Again, someone that is smart and that can use their knowledge. He might also like someone that is kinda insecure/unsure sometimes so that he can be the one TO HELP HIS PARTNER OUT! I think this does soemthing to his ego. Like look at me being such a good partner.

Visuals

8oS, QueenoP R, QueenoS, The Hanged Man

He likes someone very tall!!! Not that cute looking! Sexy! He likes longer hair and also curls! Jaehyun is also very into natural beauty. Although he has a certain style that he likes he is open to a lot of people! He doesn't mind that much

PageoP R, 7oP R, 4oC, 8oS; The Tower

Again, I think he is very open to a lot of people. His ideal type is there, but he likes to have his options open. Again tall but also skinny/healthy weight. He is very much into pretty people! Like general public pretty! He has high standards for his ideal type! He cares a lot about one's appearance.

Long legs, tan, foreign, general public pretty, big ass, big boobs, skinny, toned, glasses, nice lips, long hair. Tyla is very close to his idealtype/style!!!

So I finally read Looking Forward by Maya Henry

And... Here are my thoughts

1) Liam's record company/ the people he surrounds himself with are real villians. Not only do they lie a bunch and keep Liam under heavy surveillance (even his therapist gives "assessment reports" to his manager), they also expect Maya to basically be his manager? Assistant? babysitter? mommy? For free. And all f time.

2) She had to get out. And the switch in his behaviour on drugs must've been sofucking hard..i mean The first half of the book had me wishing Liam was my boyfriend and he's always been my least favourite member of the band. The abortion was horrific. Truly horrific. And the axe night was the stuff of nightmares. I'm glad she got out. And she has the right to talk about it. Period

3) Liam needs help. Serious Help. He needs to get out of whatever bullshit music contract he is tied up in (if any) and focus on sobriety and therapy? Which includes having *sober* people he can rely and trust around him. Probably not the boys tho maybe someone like Chappel Roan? Or Beiber? Lol idk.

4) It's not hard or a stretch to believe his behaviour in the book - the narcissism, anger and almost split personality - based on his own admissions in public appearances. (Diary of aCeo podcast, Logan Paul Podcast, Random other viewings)

5) This book could've been heavily edited. Although the illustrations are working!

6) The sexts with fans are disgusting

More art I get to finally show :D This one is for a monthly trade event I'm hosting, for once I actually participated in september! my trading partner gave me some things to choose from, among others Disa from the new LotR show. I know nothing about it, but she looks cool and I thought the concept of stone singing is neat, reminds me of the Geode class from DSA, I think they can do something similar. (or maybe not, it's been quite a while since I built one)

Humans are still quite a struggle, especially the face and skin colouring, and doing that kind of lighting was not helping - hope it still kinda reads as dark skin, I did my best!

ACEO, watercolour and gouache

[thedancingemu]

I've been reluctant to share WIPs recently because I've been having a hard time finishing much, but this one's almost done and I actually feel pretty good about it! Feels nice to finish something bigger than an ACEO for the first time in quite a while, edging back into enjoying getting lost in little details like I used to.

Needs a few more details and shading/highlight work. I'll probably work on it over the next few days, it's nice to take a break and look at it later with fresh eyes sometimes, especially when I'm trying to figure out how close to DONE something is.

Knock on wood but I hope my multi year burnout is finally coming to an end. I miss making complex pieces.

[harkthorn]

ACEOs page 2. Birds, Pokemon, and an unfinished wolf, again from about 2010. I don't have acrylic paint any more, but was thinking of finishing the wolf in black ink, maybe ballpoint.

I remember being really annoyed with the Jolteon, as the white wouldn't adhere to the black ink bg

[kitschmyart]

I'm getting ready to try selling my art in person for the first time ever and I'm bordering on manic about it. Like "difficulty sleeping and probably investing too much money weeks out" vibes lol... The chippy is new. Felt good to create again even if it's very rough around the edges (I might do a little bit more with it, we'll see). I have a few more of those 4"x4" canvases and a few 2.5"x3.5" ones to use up so I have some originals to offer If I have good printer paper in time I may also try to make some prints of the butterfly wing series I made a long while back. Always loved the idea of ACEOs and if I can figure out how to print them myself, it'd be really fun to make a few 3-card sets of different stuff ~

1. Three non-romantic duos:

I *think* it was Home Alone? Pretty sure that was the last movie I watched that wasn’t just someone’s reaction to something haha

5. Currently reading:

Uh…nothing *really* unless you count turning the Chosen on since it’s been on TV every Sunday? Before that maybe Elementary? And I occasionally watch a Gravity Falls episode?

Since I'm reworking my OCs, I've been looking at some of my older art and... you know what, I'm gonna share some, even though nobody but me cares about them 😆

But these are some that I still really like, even though I can see how much I've progressed since I've drawn these.

These were some of my first experiments with watercolour, and I fell in love with using them.

Some trading cards (ACEO? I think that was the english name? In German, they were called KAKAO cards)

Some two-faced Mali. Still thinking of how I'll do that in the "remake". But I still really like these drawings. Might redo them in the future though.

Kita and Alayses (and Hope). Kinda still like both of these, but also kinda want to redo both of these xD

From a Colour Challenge thingy. Still pretty happy with that one.

Tari and Shiroi. (and Ten)

Some more I really like.

Aaaand the first thing I ever draw for this story.

Man, look at that x'D I've really come a long way (and so have them).

[anke-creates]

Wednesday is the day for works in progress. And I guess this is the start of another project, of word cards? Because I don't have enough started unfinished things already… Those are drawn on A7 format file cards (about 3 by 4 inches), and I'll cut them down to ACEO size.

[elektroyu]

I needed to scratch some OC itches and also wanted to do some humanoid ACEOs again (after several years) and for a while I've had this urge to paint something with pretty colors too, soooo this happened. Not perfect nor anything special, but I had fun doing it and I still love the result. :D I'm actually surprised I pretty much don't give a shit about the glaring imperfections at all here, I can't remember that ever happening before. The amount it affects my joy about this is literally ZERO. It's nice! I could get used to that.

Kavi and his mura from my elusive Mura's Voice project. ♡ I have another one of Aro already inked, I just need to make up my mind about the colors and some patterns. A third one of a dog also inked, and the 4th is still blank and not yet decided what it's going to be.

[strijkdesign]

Properly sharing my lovely vampire ladies for the ACEO auction Bad Apple Artist FB page. All pieces are 2.5 x 3.5 inch and start at only $20!

My mind does not work in inches (metric system for the win) Because I made my sketches digitally, it was only after I transferred them to paper that I realized how tiny these paintings were going to be! It strangely helped me focus more on brushstrokes and not obsess to much about the details.
