Almost didn’t manage to draw up anything for pride month, oops! Maybe I should do a pride moth as well (thanks autocorrect)
Didn’t turn out the way I intended, but it doesn’t matter because loons are always a win.
99% watercolor with some colored pencil details that you can’t really see. Gotta get the rust out somehow.

bringing back some watercolors
#final fantasy#ffxiv#estinien#damn i remember editing watercolor art used to be so easy with my old phone and psd#now it's so difficult#the colors are off#the lines are too hard on the eye#3 different devices and editing softwares and i'm super frustrated at the end result#idk posting it anyway

Another day another sketch ✨ I always try to give Keith other colors than black and end up regretting
#klance#i forgot i promised myself to use colors and drew the sketch on poor paper which would make watercolor look too bad#so i went with markers and sweater through every color combination wtf is that#either wya i might be getting sick? but i have like 2 batches of calendars left to send 😭 one cross continental and one Europe#im also so excited... was super nervous to buy a new cable to my tablet and a hard drive to have more space but i cant wait till it gets her#e#maybe i will stop pestering u with pencil and paper

this machine tells lies, spins half-truths, spouts misdirection, and produces purrfectly prescient prognostications
#FF7#Cait Sith#FFVII#Final Fantasy VII#if it looks like i know what im doing. no i do not#yoinked these poses from screenshots#hopefully learning something!!!#first time using watercolor and i really like it! its so hard to find coloring methods that dont fight with my inks but this works#made an obnoxious signature to slap on things. also

Surprise! They wanted to bring you this pumpkin and when I say they bring you I mean sun makes a cute pose as moon carries all the weight
Awww! Thanks for the pumpkin! I am sending Sun and Moon back to you with something we quickly put together over here.
Hopefully Sun will be a little more helpful on the return trip.
#loaf art#nova doodle#fnaf daycare attendant#fnaf sun#sundrop#fnaf moon#moondrop#this was such an unexpected surprise! Thank you so much for this little picture nova!#as always your art is a delight: those expressive and bold ink lines a contrast to the vibrant blended colors!#I drew as fast as I could to get this reply out today which is why it is kind of messy#I tried a watercolor kind of look when coloring my drawing so it would sort of go with yours#also I have no idea how big your dca's are here so I drew 'em tiny because the idea of a mini carved pumpkin is cute#I hope the tag I used for you is alright - it was the only one I saw on your blog that you sometimes use. You make it hard to find your art#Say the word and I'll swap it to something else no sweat!#loaf replies

"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.
#jrwi fanart#jrwi show#jrwi suckening#jrwi suckening spoilers#jrwi the suckening#arthur bennett#HEY SO THE REALLY FUNNY THING THAT THE CHARACTER DID THAT SEEMED RLY SILLY N GOOFY IN THE MOMENT?#LIKE THE WHIPLASH BETWEEN SERIOUS N SILLY ALMOST PISSED YOU OFF? WHAT IF I FOUND A WAY TO MAKE YOU SAD ABOUT IT#this was meant to be a scribble that would be a bigger part of a bigger page.might leave it on that page.#but still. bc o that i nearly posted it onto my wacky side blog.BUT NAYY I SPENT TOO MUCH TIME N ENERGY N YOU GOTTA SEE IT#ARTHUR BENNETT DRIVES ME CRAZY. I FEEL LIKE ITS ODD FOR HIM TO BE SO TECHNOLOGICALLY OUT OF TOUCH#WHERE HAS HE BEEN. HAS HE BEEN IN WAR? IS THAT WHERE MAGNUS CAME FROM? WHERE WAS HE WHEN HE WAS WITH EDWARDS CREW?#ARTHURRR I HAVE QUESTIONS ARTTHUUURR!! HEY CAN I ALSO ASK; WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BECOME#DO YOU THINK HE HAD ANY IDEA HE WOULD VEER CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE MONSTER HE DESPISES. ALL BC HE DESERVES IT. OR WATEVER#HE FASCINATES ME SO MUCH. TO LOOK AT THE STONE COLD STOIC FOOL FROM THE START OF THE SHOW#AND TO FIND OUT THAT HE USED TO BE A BAD BOY.. A DELINQUENT... A LIL PRANKSTER.... MY GODDD THATS ADORABLE#I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW MORE.... BUT I DOUBT THE LAST EPISODE IS GONNA ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS..i love arthur bennett so much....#AS FOR THE ART!! i mostly used the fire alpaca watercolor brush. tbh im not a brush guy. anti aliased default pen tends to be my main game#but LATELY IM SQQQUIRMIN OUT OF AN ARTBLOCK so expirimenting like this is helping#DONT LOOK TOO HARD AT IT!! im still proud tho. colors are fun :3 im also very proud of the backgrounds#I LOVE THE CARTOON THING where the background looks all fancy n painted but the characters are solid colors#what else can i ramble abt. OH YEAH. i looked up the bikes to make sure they were time accurate tehehehe. 1913 to 2012.#almost a century apart!! isnt that neat? ALSO FUUUCK CAN I JUST MAKE A QUICK CONFESSION. DOWN HERE IN MY TAGS.#only the strongest can read my tags anwyay. SO I REALIZED WHY I LOVE ARTHUR SO MUCH. TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE#while arthur is a Stoic and Cool vampire w a knack for being playful/silly; who alsos been alive fora century thus witnessing HORRORs#THERE HAPPENS TO BE A ROBOT FROM A BAND W A TITANIUM ALLOY SPINAL COLLUMN#WHOS A Stoic and Cool ROBOT w a knack for being playful/silly; who alsos been alive fora century thus witnessing HORRORS#the fuckkkiiinnngggnn The Spine from steam powered giraffe. WHATEVER. i cant escape from my heart. i guess.#i think The Spine and Arthur could be friends. Arthur saw the band perform back when they were the Steam Man Band#EDIT: WOOPS I DIDNT REALIZE THIS WOULD END UP IN THE SPG TAG. HI GUYS DIDNT KNOW U WERE STILL ALIVE SORREE 4 THE CROSS CONTAMINATION

Had an arts assignment to illustrate a children's book of our choice and of COURSE I chose Moominvalley. It was super fun obviously-- it was hard to convert the text into PT-Portuguese though (I understand the language well enough, but speaking and writing? Impossible.),,
Here are some better-quality lower-saturation close-ups, and then how the illustrations and cover look with text ↓
#the thing under the stairs on the second picture is a momma hedgehog cuddled up to two babyhogs btw#i know it's hard to tell because everyone's asked me “uhh are those hedgehogs..???” so far#i translated little my to miminha because that literally‚ directly translates to “little mi”#IF ANYBODY WHO IS PORTUGUESE EVER SEES THIS PLEASE DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE TEXT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING#i used the help of Google Translate and of a porch of geese friend but they were both completely useless#oh also one of the requirements was for the characters design to have small changes#that's why little my's dress is blue‚ the moomins have hooves‚ snufkin's tiny‚ etc#moomintroll#moominpappa#snufkin#little my#ninny the invisible child#sniff#snorkmaiden#snork#moomins fanart#moominvalley#moominmamma#at least i didn't have to translate snufkin's name to farisco and snorkmaiden's name to snorkina#farisco means sniff so the portuguese dub for the 2019 moomins just. made a massive mistake for no reason#and snorkina sucks#traditional art#watercolor#aquarela#colored pencil#masterpiece

Cuckootober, day 8 - Scale-feathered malkoha
The black feathers on the face are a glossy metallic that I forgot to accurately capture, so look at this photo instead.
#my number one hubris is thinking I am able to paint dark colored birds in watercolor#it's so hard. maybe i'll get there by the end of this month.#anyway this bird is funny. i like her.#cuckootober#scale-feathered malkoha#cuckoos#birds#watercolor#drawing stuff

I was in the mood to draw big bro Oreshi and baby bro Bokushi and thought it would be a perfect time to make them all cuddly (loosely based on this post). Hope it heals you as much as it healed me.
[Art related to my fic, Accidental Siblings.]
#you have no idea how cathartic this drawing was to make#baby boku deserves to get comfortable enough to be on the receiving end of physical affection#and i know seijuro will absolutely indulge him as their bond grows closer#again i say bokushi has yet to be put in a situation that requires any of this closeness in my fic but so help me god he WILL get there#also i was testing out the watercolor brush so that's why everything is paler than usual and why I'm using flat colors#but that doesnt matter so dont think about it too hard#i do like how the watercolor makes these drawings look like they came out of a storybook though#might use this brush whenever i just wanna make a quick piece of art#anyway hope you enjoyed friendos#kuroko no basket#knb fanart#my art#knb fanfic#my fanfic#accidental siblings#akashi seijuro#big bro oreshi#baby bokushi
