This is for @joutei for his birthday~. 🩷

Here is the sketch of this artwork.

Artwork: @tuliharja

Note: I’m fine with reblogging, but ask me first for my permission, if you want to repost/otherwise use my artwork.

Sketching this artwork was hard. I had general idea how Nelliel would pose, but apart from that everything else was hard to do. I had to do several redoes, not to mention I didn’t have that clear idea what kind of clothes she would have. I did her top few times and bottom several times. At first, I wanted to go into sexier look with her, but it just didn’t feel right. Especially when I knew the general idea how I wanted her top to be. So, when I tried to make her bottom sexier, it just looked awkward. It didn’t fit the theme, so I kept sketching and sketching. I also did redo her hands few times, because I wasn’t sure how those should be. (The biggest ‘oof’ part was when I was already middle of shading this artwork, I realized her right hand’s fingers were off. So, I had to quickly make few changes to the original sketch just to be sure when I would digitally color her, it would actually work.)

My struggles didn’t end in there, because I wanted to this time add more shades here and there, instead doing cell-shading. Which drove me into a mental corner as I had very little time to work on this, so I would work 2 to 3 hours a day in each day a week. It made me feel pressure and zapped the joy of it, until I took a break and decided to take things in much calmer pace. After all, if I wasn’t feeling mentally good when coloring/shading, the artwork would turn out terrible.

The next dilemma was that I realized my shading technique was…well. I don’t make that big contrast between colors, which can leave the ending result somewhat flat looking. I realized I needed to add more contract, light and shade and more vibrant colors to make it more alive! I knew it could end up looking just horrible if I would let myself loose, but I wanted to at least try that all for once. I’m glad I did, since I like how the colors turned out. ^^

Making the background was somewhat easier -thankfully!

All in all, I’m very happy how this artwork and its sketch turned out, even though it took me over two months to complete this fully. I’m just happy I managed to make this for my bestie for his birthday. ^^ I hope he too and everybody else who sees this artwork, will like this~!

If you're still taking those polyam sketch prompts...D2 for Cody/Obi-Wan/Rex?

Obi-Wan deserves a pair of handsome space heaters for the cold Tatooine nights :3 nap piles for everyone! Thanks for asking (and for adjusting the requested pose so that I can keep drawing different poses)❤️

Workin’ my way up the D.A.M.N. Crew so y’know I had to start off with Lasky<3 (Ft. Everybody’s favorite Incubus)

I like to headcanon that empowereds eye colors are based on the magic they wield and can be a variety of shades, so as a humanborn I decided Lasko has light brown eyes with grey tint ✨

Antis: "Feyre destroyed Spring Court and now its citizens are homeless, while she has five mansions and Velaris has slums to be fixed."

My honest reaction: Please leave her alone...

🎀she's just a girl🎀

She's innocent your honor. Every girl deserve to destroy her ex's home once in her lifetime. IT'S HER RIGHT!!!!

hi hi okay imagine. stede wants to brush out ed's hair the way izzy always does. maybe izzy is busy on deck taking note of damages after a raid. maybe they had an infestation and he's going over ration spoilage and inventory with roach. ed is tired and cranky and absentmindedly separating sections of curls and tugging them apart at the bottom where they get stuck together in knots. stede offers to help with the tangles, says he would love to give it a go and help ed relax

izzy walks in a few minutes later and immediately comes up and tells stede he's doing it all wrong but also gently takes the brush from him and shows him the right way - where to hold the hair, how to start at the bottom with little sections and work his way up, when to start with his fingers instead of the brush. neither of them can see it but ed is smiling so much his face might actually burst

Nico offering to do Hazel's braids and she's surprised by how decent they come out and he's just like, "well, doing each other's hair is one of the ways we bonded as siblings" "Nico, white girl curly is usually different from black girl curly" "Macaria is black, Hazel"
