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

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

"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?

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

Fading Memories

#socksdraws #sth #sonic the hedgehog #fanart #shadow the hedgehog #maria robotnik #omg the pastel colors were so freaking hard to color I was tearing my hair out #I’m never doing this again (took me three days to finish)#I wanted to give it a watercolor vibe #Everyone else was making pretty shadow and Maria art after the teaser so I wanted to too #Oh also I saw a Pinterest post like this once that inspired it #couldn’t find it again. I’ll attach it if I do!

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

Please watch Scavenger's Reign I'm shocked by how much people are sleeping on it.

#this is my first time drawing humans in so long so I know some stuff came out wonky and it barely looks like azi #might try making more fanart as I have more ideas and hopefully they'll turn out less wonky lol #+ it's hard to get color right in photos with traditional art ^^;#I want to touch the fuzzy balls in the same way I want to touch fuzzy cacti #scavenger's reign #scavengers reign fanart #scavengers reign #scavengers reign azi #watercolor #watercolour #water color #water colour #traditional art #art #illustration #artists on tumblr #artist on tumblr #artists of tumblr #rinnartrae

[ID: Traditional artpiece of Angel Dust in the black outfit he wears in Poison, pole dancing upside-down and smiling to the viewer. There is a signature close to him, at the left, saying "Bug" with the date: 10-11/03/24. The background is plain white. /end ID.]
