#cym asks

[jahayla-parker]

I saw that you enjoy asks, so I was curious!

CYM as the crows? Or as their actors? Or both? 😝

Yesss I dooo! Thanks bby! 🙌💜

Okay so this is gonna be funny cause my blog is very dieverse and several of my mutuals don’t even know the Six of Crows, Shadow and Bone, or the Grishaverse (TV nor books) 😂

@b3kk3r-by-br3kk3r

Crow: Kaz Brekker

Reason: always ready for a fight, protective, knows Kaz Brekker is attractive as if it’s a simple fact of life, passionate, knows how/when to regulate anger but will act when appropriate or necessary, and insomniac

@ell0ra-br3kk3r

Crow: Jesper Fahey

Reason: always tries to keep things positive, young-at-heart energy, energetic, a bit crazy haha, underestimated, kind, skilled / talented, sibling energy

@emmymaehereeeeee

Crow: Matthias Helvar

Reason: able to overcome challenging circumstances and contemporary (or expected by loved ones) ideologies or restrictions as needed, determined, strong heart, doesn’t take shit, and despite upbringing or the ideology of birthplace/residency pushes themselves to remain open minded

@lilisouless

Crow: Nina Zenik

Reason: I mean, so I really need to explain this one? Haha. Loves waffles, effortlessly hilarious, flirtatious, strong willed, knows herself and what she wants, big sister energy, has no problem educating people and giving constructive criticism even on things/people she loves, bullies Kaz Brekker

@theslayerofthevampires

Crow: Inej Ghafa

Reason: strong and determined, works hard to overcome obstacles and struggles, supportive, checks in on her friends often, secretly capable of violence and wreaking chaos, and protective + comforting sibling energy

@toms-gf

Crow: Wylan Van Eck

Reason: the matched range of duality!, sweet, talented, friendly, bashful, random chaotic energy, suddenly becomes unhinged (lovingly), loves a protective!boyfriend, and appears innocent at first

opinion that will make the TSP fandom mad?

i have a lot of those that nobody wants to hear i think you can imagine a few of them.

HOWEVER, i will say & not to upset anyone, but i don't like how the lovebug AU seems to have been reduced to just. an excuse to draw the cast sexy,

I MEAN the AU in of itself IS an excuse to draw the cast in pink & red & heart-printed all over attire. it literally is, that's literally how it started i think. & there's Nothing Wrong with embracing sexuality & dressing your character in hot clothes! nothing wrong with that!

it's just with the overABUNDANCE of " gotta make the TSP cast ( narrator ) uber attractive at every angle for some reason lest i die " already prevalent in the fandom, it just feels like... too much. another excuse to promote as much, which- BEYOND having an impact on me directly & beyond Further promotion of " attractivity & perfection is the only thing my character ought to be, " whatever, it's just not my cup of tea. the AU doesn't have a plot so concrete that i can really complain farther than that,

but i don't think i care for a lot of interpretations of it, beyond ones my close friends make &... @/sesom732's AU where the narrator becomes obsessed with toast & milk as a result of the virus. among very few others i just can't remember right now,

but i'm not slinging mud here! i don't mean any harm or offense to anyone with their renditions! live your life! i simply offer an opinion;

any tips on lineart or coloring? I adore your art style!!!!!

thank you! this post might be a little rambley because i'm not the best at explaining things

ok for starters, i don't want to go into my own personal preferences for choosing colors too much. when i started drawing i really stuck with what other artists said was the "correct" way to do things and that can really hinder your art a lot, so i'm going to give general descriptions of colors and color schemes and let you decide which ones you find the most appealing or enjoyable to use. i think choosing colors comes down to personal preference most of all. don't take anything i (or any other artist) say as law, drawing is a lot more fun when you make your own decisions about it. if you want to use a lot of super bright/dull colors, or no colors at all, go for it! your art should be what you want it to. this post is more for people who want to know more about color schemes than for people who want to draw exactly how i do lol

also you can use solid black and white in your art its not illegal and it doesn't always look bad idk why this is such a common thing people say in tutorials/tips about colors

color schemes can be monochromatic or polychromatic, with my art i usually use different colors but i like to use monochromatic schemes sometimes too, art can look very nice with both of them. characters with multiple colors (like kirby) can be drawn with monochromatic palettes as long as you have varying values of the color.

with polychromatic color schemes, remember that less is more! limit your colors and try not to use way too many, it makes things less confusing. reuse colors for different things instead of adding new ones

value is how light or dark a color is. i like to use color schemes with a lot of tints (or pastel colors), usually with a few darker colors in order to define shapes a little better. value is Very important to make the thing you're trying to draw clear to see and separate details from each other, so i'd study this before learning about picking colors individually.

saturation is how "intense" a color is. it's different from value, and it works alongside it (saturated/desaturated colors have tints and shades.) i don't use many very saturated or destaturated colors, and a lot of my art kind of lies in the middle. when i do use them, i try not to put very saturated and very desaturated colors together in the same color scheme, as using all of one or the other can make things more cohesive. (also, don't make dark skintones too desaturated. they should be in the middle)

the most important thing to remember about color schemes is that colors don't work independently, they look best when they're cohesive with other colors. think about how you want something to look before you color it, consider if it's supposed to look cute or have a gloomy/dark feel, if its daytime or night, etc. try not to follow a character's reference sheet colors too strictly, and change them as needed given what you want your finished art to look like.

lineart is a lot more simple (at least to me). i usually use a dark blue or whatever color i associate with the character for it, and i like to keep the stablization setting very low, as that helps it make look more sketchy/painterly. (i use clip studio paint, so if anyone wants these brushes let me know and i'll put them in a different post)

hopefully this was a little helpful and not too much of a pain to read! i've gotten a Lot of asks about this so i felt like i should make this post as detailed as i can. do look for other resources if you want to learn more about this stuff, there's people way better at explaining things than i am lol

[sunnydayaoe]

for the artist ask game thingy, 9 ?

Oh this one is easy, birds !!! I will always enjoy drawing birds... I guess, for more general even for other things, 100% high saturation, and cyan yellow magenta black, my favorite palette!
