#and i guess for the long answer

[hillian-sketch]

R: See this El? this is an ask.

E: Ok, what does it do?

R: It sends something to someone.

E: Who are you sending something to?

R: Hillian and Os.

E: What are you sending?

R: Dunno, let me think…

R: Hey there, how are you? Do you like carrots? Have you ever eat soap? How did it taste? What’s something really underrated? What’s something really overrated? Do you have something interesting to draw for our creator who’s bored? What’s your opinion on lasers?

E: Don’t you think that’s too much?

R: no, but I will stop before you cry.

E: But I’m not crying?

R: Shh!

H:jezz sorry if you were waiting for a while our creator was probably asleep

Os:yeah we're sorry about that

H:wait why are we apologizing for our creator mistakes

Os:because we're the one answering

H:that stupid

Os:hilly just focus on answering the questions ok

H:fine (⁠╯⁠^•□•^）⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

H:*holding a piss of paper* ok let's see "how are you?" Well I'm doing good

Os:yeah me to

H:"do you like carrot?" Yeah actually one of the only plant I like

Os:yeah I also like it

H:"have you ever eaten soap?" Yeah I have

Os:excuse me what!?!?!!

H:yeah I ate soap ones

Os: what the hell?!!?!

H:answer the question Os

Os:o-ok no.....why did you eat soa-

H:not Important!! Anyway next question "what does it taste like?" I'm guessing you mean the soap? Well it tastes kinda weird I guess

Os:seriously when did you eat soap?!??!

H:I told you not Important!!! Ok next question "What something really underrated?" *In a smug voice* Our creator obviously

Os:seriously hilly.But if we're being serious the creator would probably say "aphmau my inner demons series"

H: my inner what....? Oh wait a minute that part of their childhood

Os:yeah I'm pretty sure they would answer the question with that answer

H:ok if you think so...ok next one "what something overrated" ok I'm pretty sure someone is going to try and kill me if I answer it but here's go notting *inhale nervously*

"The new gen of my little pony is bad" but I disagree the only reason people dislike the new gen of my little pony is because their nostalgia makes it so they can't appreciate the new gen for what it is "a simple retailing of the old story" but as "a horrible continuation to the series" because it's so different from the previous gen but the reasoning for it to be so different is because the new gen is pleased multiple years in the future of the series

Os:................

H:ok next one before the my little pony fan kill me for saying that "do you have something interesting to draw for our creator who's bored" I'm guessing you what a drawing prompt? If so draw a character with as many eyes as possible that sounds fun right?

Os:ok so ignoring the stuff you said about my little pony.isn't the reason I have so many eyes is because if that?

H:no the reason you have so many eyes is because your sepose to be a spider

Os:oh yeah forgot haha

H:but wait a minute how are you a spider you only have 2 arms and 2 legs and thanks to whatever I've done you only have 1 arm and spider sepose to have 8 arms/legs

Os:*nervous* haha y-yeah that......look how about we go to the next question ok

H:ok? Oh last question "what's your opinion on laser?" I think it's cool how about you Os

Os:yeah I agree even tho it's dangerous it's kinda cool

H:ok a long answer for a long ask hope this satisfied your curiosity

Os:and sorry again for the late answer

Everyone asking "Why wasn't Cyndaquil in the ZA starters lineup?" when frankly the better question is why Gamefreak went with 2 Johto starters

[letsplaythermalnuclearwar]

Homer!Odysseus and Epic!Odysseus would try to kill each other if they ever met

[rakiah]

okay but am I the only person who hears female leona in their head as Eris from "Sinbad and the Seven Seas"? They give me similar vibes.

Especially when Eris says,"I pull one small thread and their whole world devolves into chaos~" you can't tell me that fem-Leo wouldn't say something like that 😤

[Also btw I love your work, you're amazing, please continue to make inspiring works 🩷💐]

Ooooh I’m hearing that too very much 👏

Honestly, she just has to appear and the world goes upside down. My world for sure.

Bonus confused SavanaClaws peeps. Loyal girls but not the smartest sometimes. We love them x3

ok I know the debate is sheep vs goat but may I ask has anyone considered cattle

Here’s just some that reminded me of Vasco and Machete

I adore Highland cattle, but I think Vasco would have to be a floppy zebu of some kind. A Brahman or an Indu-Brasil.

This one here is just an off-model bloodhound.

I saw your post about your interests and saw httyd, so I feel COMPELLED to ask... have you drawn toothless? Toothless is cute enough already, but I can imagine that in your art style, his cuteness will probably get cranked to MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE to the point I'll explode

Yes I have drawn him!! It's been a good while tho... A REALLY good while...

Made some sketches. Still not used to drawing him, but hopefully this is the cuteness you wanted ;D

too lazy to work on wips and answer my inbox, but have this dood for now!!

i think a really great aspect of oofuri is how much it gets mihashi's ass for being overly timid and dependent. it would be really easy to write off the way he and abe interact as being abe's fault because he is overbearing, and a lot of people do, but it has some really great moments of going "hey, you cannot hide behind abe or depend on him to make every decision. it's not good for you, or him, or the team."

so today i came across this image

but somehow i didn't remember they have a mouth? after taking out the model we can see:

hive hunter does indeed NOT have a mouth... so...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Damn, they really squeezed in as many lore reveals as possible in those eight pages huh

Lady von Valancius’s Notes to Herself

Tempt not the interrogator, Spark not his jealous rage, Light not the match of his desire, Or coolly fan the flames. Bring not ‘fore him a savage feast Bereft of all but flesh, Guide not your hands to brush his skin, And lead him to the edge. Speak not to him of fantasies, Remark not on his blush, For his control is naught but glass And shatters at a touch. But should you choose to follow through, These warnings cast aside, Then afterwards remain with him, In gentle arms abide.

have Jedidiah and Octavius watch brokeback mountain on Larry’s phone

Sorry anon, but my headcanon is that Jedediah watches it alone for some reason (maybe Octavius was busy that night with something else) and he starts questioning his whole existence.

Internalized homophobia am I right? (Also Jed is definitely the kind of person who thinks like 'this isn't all that bad except from when I'm doing it, then it's the worst thing ever). Anyway, I think it's way more difficult to actually think about your feelings than just have them. It can be scary too, putting a proper name on a situation.

Then he just kinda dissappears for a few weeks, no one knows where he is. He doesn't say anything to anyone but even when he gets back he kinda avoids everyone.

He vents to Larry without giving him any context.

Octavius just blames Larry. It was something on the phone that made Jedediah upset, so naturally it must be Larry's fault.

They make up in the end but I don't know if they talk about what actually happened. Maybe Octavius watches brokeback mountain too and he understands idk

A little sequel to this here

Hey there, I adore your art, thank you for sharing it and joining us on tumblr. Your Ghoap art makes me feel so soft.

I am curious about your rendering process. I like how your pieces are textured and coloured and the 3 dimensionality of it, is there a chance you'd be open to sharing some of the steps you take to get from sketch to the finished product? For example what methods (if greyscale, selection tool, etc.) and brushes you use? How you pick your colours?

No pressure in answering this of course, I am just glad to see what you'll be up to in the future.

Hellooooo thank you so much for your kind words!! I've actually been getting so many nice notes from people, I'm so sorry that I haven't responded to them much, I promise I read every single one and shed a little tear of joy at how nice you all are!

Now to the question!!

I made a little step by step image of one of the portraits I posted here for you with a bit of commentary underneath! I'm sorry if it's the ramblings of a mad-woman I'm a bit all over the place sometimes haha (I'm so sorry if there's typos, please ignore them)

I'll also answer the direct questions here since I don't think I addressed them TOO directly in the image.

Methods: I work with soft brushes and the lasso tool for 90% of my process! I introduce textures as well obviously but I try to let my soft brushes do most of the work. A lot of that 'soft' look people tell me my art has just comes from subtle colour shifts and general softness achieved that way over working with harsher textures. I generally like to limit my layers somewhat, especially with simple pieces like the one above. That image is actually just a single layer after step 2! It helps me not get too stuck on one area but I also just... draw on the wrong layer very frequently even if I name them so I don't use them unless I'm working on pieces with different layers of depth (fore-/mid-/background etc.) I do check my values *constantly* (I use the colour-proof setup in photoshop) but I don't work directly from greyscale. I go straight into colours from the sketch.

How I pick colours: I do try to keep my colour palette cohesive and a bit more neutral to start with. I try to avoid extremes at the start so I'm not locked into that too early since it makes that 'subtlety' harder to achieve otherwise. For those colour shifts I talk about I just pick whatever base colour I put down and then shift the colours accordingly! Brush modes/layer modes can also help but I definitely recommend looking a bit into colour theory before relying on them TOO much! Otherwise using them will also end in strange results. There's no direct 'formula' I use when choosing colours since every light scenario is unique and will affect colours differently. I would definitely recommend James Gurney's book on Colour and Light!

Last but not least! If you're more of a visual learner and my rambling is a bit much in written form (I'm so sorry, I'm very chatty I know) I also have a few painting processes up on YouTube c: So if you want me to shut up and just watch me struggle instead then here's a link to the painting that started it all, the OG ghost soap piece I did over a year and a half ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D76X0MT4W5U

I hope that all makes sense!! I'm still super new to Tumblr but I'm always happy to ramble on about art so! Thanks for reading my rant haha

for writing game, iwaizumi + assistance <3

hope this sparks some inspo and thank you in advancee

hi there!! thanks for sending in a prompt 🫶

contains: friends to lovers (ish), halloween parties, reader is dressed as catwoman, expletives, iwaizumi is thiiiiis 🤏 close to murdering seijoh4 (jk)

iwaizumi + assistance

this is a set-up.

iwaizumi knows he shouldn't have fucking believed anything the boys "promised" him back when they assigned him this costume.

the suit is fucking tight, spandex digging into his groins and all other crevices that definitely should be aired out after after a few hours. he's had to constantly readjust his stance almost every few minutes, the black fabric compressing his thighs and torso, significantly constricting the range of motion his shoulders and arms are typically used to. if anything else, it could double up as a back brace from how rigidly straight it's kept his posture all night.

he'll give it to makki though; he did outdo himself sourcing this year's costumes―this batman set looks pretty damn legit.

except for one tiny problem.

there's no fucking pee hole. it's a zip-up, zip-down one-piece situation. and that normally wouldn't be a problem, except that oikawa "accidentally" knocked over a cocktail straight into his pants, the sickeningly sweet liquid now seeping straight into the fabric and past his boxers―cold and sticky as it touches his skin.

and so, the problem: his pants are wet, it makes him want to fucking pee, and coincidentally, the only vacant bathroom is across the hall, at your apartment.

this is why he believes this is a set up. that, and the fact that you're dressed in an outfit strikingly similar―just with cat ears.

he's been asked five times in this party if you're in matching couple outfits.

it catches him off guard, flusters him because of how badly he wants to say yes. but, you're just friends, and he doesn't even think you like him that way (despite mattsun and oikawa practically begging him to confess. makki tells him he thinks you're going to do it first).

so he politely smiles and says no, but you look good, your costume clinging to you in all the right places. thank fucking god he has a cape because he's pretty sure he spent the first 30 minutes in the party hiding his boner.

"hajime, it's fine, i swear," you stand beside him in front of the conveniently locked bathroom in oikawa's apartment. from the other side of the door, he's pretty sure he hears mattsun and his girlfriend mumbling. maybe fucking? who knows. "you can just use the bathroom in my apartment."

he glances at you before closing his eyes, contemplating, before finally agreeing to you.

"okay."

if he's being honest with himself, friends is definitely an incomplete label to what you are. as oikawa's neighbor, you are conveniently around all the time; and oikawa being oikawa, the ever-social butterfly, he's somehow managed to carve a space for you in the friend group.

(never mind the fact that oikawa's sniffed him out from the moment he first introduced you.)

you were a crush, then a friend, and now you're someone he picks up from work and drives back home three times a week, because he "has to train oikawa." you don't question it, even when you both know he stays over for dinner way past the gym's open hours.

"you know where it is," you open your apartment and urge him in.

"sorry again," he turns to face you.

"yeah, yeah, just pee!" you laugh, shoving him towards the bathroom door.

getting out of the suit is manageable, and he's able to wipe off a bit of the cocktail that's leaked to the suit and his boxers just to make sure it isn't gross and sticky when he gets home later. peeing is a big relief once he gets it over with, but it's when he has to suit up again that things become difficult.

stretching out the spandex one body part at a time is a workout in itself―the hardest task being when he has to pull it over his shoulders, adjusting it to fit properly over his arms and chest.

but then the zipper breaks.

and he truly thinks makki has fucked him over.

iwaizumi contemplates what to do next for a good, good while. he tries calling oikawa, only to no success every time; no way in hell is he calling mattsun in the middle of having sex. and calling makki isn't even an option; he'd never hear the end of it.

then you knock on the door, your voice soft and concerned as you ask, "hajime? you good in there?" you hit it spot on, too, "do you need help with your suit?"

iwaizumi presses his palms to his eyes. he's a rational man, straightforward and logical in thinking. there is literally no other option for him right now but to ask help from you. again.

fuck.

.

it's 30 minutes later when oikawa barges in your door, and the sight that greets him is iwaizumi in nothing but a hoodie (the hoodie you borrowed some time ago) and his boxers, with his hands on your waist as you hover your hairdryer over the crotch of his batman costume―cat headpiece off and all.

"you finally got together?!"
