#drawing food my beloathed

[hals-hell]

hermit a day day 17 Etho!!!!

made very quickly technically after midnight in the timezone i’m in but i’ll forgive myself because things keep Happening To Me. storytime below the cut i guess

tonight my shower head broke and managed to flood half my room and it took me like an hour to fix. there is a broken spork holding it in place now. ethoslab drawing save me from the shower head? idk man.

and bonus!!! from yesterday!!!!

if you noticed my wels drawing yesterday was a little empty of comments, that’s because i was tired because i managed to go into anaphylaxis on day 2 in a foreign country (food allergies my beloathed). as an extra bonus, i don’t think the urgent care workers fully understood what was happening because they made me and the two people i was with go around four different rooms as i held an empty epi pen. and then they were like yeah you’re good you can go home 15 minutes later. which is not a uh. typical response in my experience but ok i guess. it meant i could draw wels before 3 am though. (i’m making light of this but please be cautious with allergic reactions. i knew from experience i’d probably be fine and had the people stay with me for another two hours to make sure i would be ok. it probably wasn’t a very good thing for them to just send me home.)

my beloathed wrist (carpal tunnel) has kept me from drawing for two days and i am creatively shaking and screaming. what do you think every ravenloft resident's favorite food is/was (besides blood)?

[bright-and-burning]

what colour are your eyes?: i have (very mild) heterochromia!! they’re mostly green but my left eye has a little brown stripe :) i guess u could call them hazel (or at least the left one) my mom certainly did for ages idk picture below u decide

(cont under the cut)

tell me about your pets/your dream pet: i (well. my family) have an orange cat and a porgi (pitbull corgi mix [he’s really just a mutt but we’re like 95% sure he’s got corgi in him somehow]). they are the lights of my life and also the goofiest lookin mfs. i’ve posted pics of my cat before but my dog is like. really distinct looking (see: porgi) but i love him so much … ask me for photos of him n u shall receive…

my apartment is pet free unfortunately. but also taking care of another whole ass being is A Lot so. i’m very chill w not having my own rn

share some interesting fact about yourself: i went to a spanish speaking daycare when i was really young (like toddler aged) and then when i was like 7 i invented my own language (as one does) and half the words were just. spanish. my parents spent ages trying to convince me that i did not just come up w the word espagnol . i swear to god. and i was a stubborn know it all kid and i wasn’t gonna believe them on anything without irrefutable proof (and how do u prove that??) so their efforts were largely fruitless LOL

what was the first fandom you were a part of?: for SURE harry potter. 9 year old me had unsupervised internet access and went craaazy

do you have any phobias?: hm. i Really Really Really don’t like things going near my eyes. it was wayyy worse before i started wearing contacts. like someone waving their hands around within three feet of me would freak me out. i do still get like. inescapable visions of pencils being waved around and accidentally put in my eye when i think abt it/when ppl wave pencils around that i have to physically shake out of

are you a picky eater? if so, what food can't you stand?: YES! texture issues my beloathed… i DESPISE melted cheese. blergh. bad bad vibes. and other funky textured cheeses… i literally just physically shuddered.

do you eat the burger and fries at the same time or one after another?: i consciously choose to eat burger first to get protein in. and THEN fries. if burger too hot then i get to eat two (must be even number) fries at a time until it cools enough to eat

winter or summer: summer <3 i love the beach i love the sun i love 6am runs where it’s already 75° i love swimming i love fun festivals. but also summer is a mindset . if it’s 65° in march im walking around in shorts and a tank top and sitting in the sun the entire day

favourite fanfiction tropes: oh gosh… best friends to lovers… idk i read it all baby. also gonna be honest the f1 interpretations of a/b/o are FASCINATING!!! and have really increased the draw by Far for me

who was your first crush?: gene kelly in singin in the rain and on the town… formative movies for 3y/o me

how did you get into f1 fandom?: web weavings on tumblr + like three random instagram reels (the mclaren wavelength video being the only one i remember lol) + the empty hole unemployment left me with inside = instant obsession

For both my own sanity and my diabetic cat George's health, we feed the cats at 8a and 8p.

(We can't just put a big bowl of kibble down and let it sit all day, both bc George needs his own special prescription food due to kidney issues, and bc both cats would eat themselves into obesity if given free rein. Also they eat mostly wet food at this point, and it's a whole goddamn production every 12 hours with separate foods and separate bowls and insulin needles and feeding in two rooms and on and on and on...)

But the other cat Fred has been showing some odd symptoms recently and we are working with the vet to try to understand them, and the next step of our investigation requires fasting bloodwork.

Okay, great, I say. They eat at 8 and 8, so I can bring him in at like 7:30 and you can do the draw? Oh no no, the vet does surgeries in the morning, the earliest we can see him is 9:45.

So now I have to spend the next week moving their mealtimes forward 20 minutes a day to get them to that point, and they haaaate it and they are just sitting next to me right now staring at me like why are you doing this to us, we should have been fed half an hour ago and I'm like buddies I KNOW.

And. AND! The day I take Fred to the vet, I'm gonna have to shove him in his cat carrier (the beloathed), load him into the car, then leave him there while I go back upstairs and feed George and give him his insulin, and then when Fred gets home I'm going to have to lock us both in the bathroom and give him his very late breakfast while George yowls and attempts to dig his way through the very wood of the door. Having pets is so fucking fun.

thank youuuuu questions from this ask game

8. What’s an old project idea that you’ve lost interest in

for a long time i rly wanted to do like, team rosters of the beams for every season. and i did season 1 and then i was like actually i hate this (realised i would have to draw a dragon for like 18 seasons straight)

also i was once very close to doing a joe voorhees animatic but then the narrative ended up not working out for the song i wanted to use so it never happened

9. What are your file name conventions

usually just describing the characters involved and sometimes my emotional feelings about it. gomimoments. squad. my beloved. gomiiiii (I have a lot of gomi ones). not very exciting sdfgsfdg

19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)

i do enjoy drawing flowers. they are fun and cute! guitars are also pretty fun i like guitars. for the most part though inanimate objects my beloathed. i sob every time i have to draw a chair

Uncommon Questions for OCs/Creators

Rodrigo

1. What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?

He’s usually pretty good at entertaining himself, but if his normal distractions are nowhere to be found, and he has to sit still, he’s going to lose it after about a half hour. A part of him has to be moving at all times to keep himself sane.

10. What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?

Promising his Mami that he’d stay inside and hidden during the attack on his village. It haunts him almost daily, and he is always wondering what, if anything, might have happened differently if he listened and stayed hidden.

G. What trait of theirs bothers you the most?

The fact that (in normal circumstances/universes) he’s so extremely possessive and jealous over the people he cares about. He’s capable of doing awful things just to make sure he doesn’t lose any of them, and would do almost anything - except, of course, actually talking to them and sharing his feelings.

The rest are under the cut!

Jacqui

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

He likes to stick to cool/jewel-toned colors like blues, greens, and purples, and while he does look Amazing in all of the above, he would also look great in warmer colors like yellow and red.

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

A good memory that he revisits most often is the first time Keean told him that he loved him. Jacqui all but turned into a puddle of mush when that happened, and it’s a memory he revisits often when he’s having a bad day - and he most definitely cried about it the night it happened.

H. What trait do you admire most?

I admire his selflessness, and the way he puts others above himself always, but recognize that he often doesn’t know when to draw the line and that ends up causing just as many problems. But, when he is able to communicate, he always tries to work towards compromise.

Louis

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

He tends to stick with white, tan, and brown colored shirts, mostly because he doesn’t want to ruin anything more colorful while he’s working, but also because loud and vibrant colors can give him a headache (he avoids Rodrigo’s quarters as much as he can for this reason). He would probably look best in a baby blue, or even a light yellow, and the very few more “formal” shirts that he owns are in those colors, as he finds them soothing.

16. What makes their stomach turn?

As a doctor, he’s pretty much immune to blood, gore, vomit, etc, etc, and isn’t shocked easily, but he is very very grossed out by specific textures or smells. He can never be on dishwashing duty because touching wet food will make him queasy, and similarly, the smell of cilantro (he inherited the “cilantro tastes like soap” gene and Paulina weeps daily for him).

22. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?

Louis isn’t one to get jealous over anything, but if something bothers him, he tends to retreat into himself and talk out loud a lot less. He is usually the first to notice it in himself though, and he will always try to rationalize with himself first before bringing it up to the other person.

30.  Who do they most regret meeting?

He both regrets and doesn’t regret meeting his former mentor, one of the Original Scholars at the Sea Palace. He regrets meeting them because he would have been better off not knowing what really goes down in the catacombs, and how the scholars largely obtain their knowledge, but at the same time, he doesn’t regret it, because he was able to use the knowledge he took from the Palace to help the people he cares about now.

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

Meeting Dimitri’s sister, and his now best friend, Laila! She was very very shy when she first joined the crew, but the way her face lit up when she realized Louis could understand and talk to her in sign is something that he revisits often.

FOOD SERVICE MY BELOATHED. just let me go home and draw gay people.

[datastate]

HI. HELLO. I JUST REALIZED YOU ASKED ANOTHER PART TO THIS. in my defense i responded while. very tired. and getting used to new meds. but tysm for adding on to the prompts!!!

How long does it typically take you to finish a piece?

it usually takes me either up to 3 hours for finished pieces featuring a single character (including breaks between for food), OR up to 6/7 if im doing ~3 characters (in which im probably hyperfocusing; only really break it when im pressured to rest, but usually i finish in a day and then deal w the effects afterward)

for doodle pages that r just me fucking around, it usually takes like. an hour altogether or so, really just depends on how much i draw and, if it's on a single page, how im gonna work out the format + smaller doodles to make it feel more full. each doodle itself usually only takes around ten minutes because i am. 1. indecisive and 2. easily entertained ... well, depending. because this one took me a couple days but that may have been because i was really doing it off and on? i do a Lot of things off and on

i think for most of my work, my sketching and lineart tend to overlap? like, as seen in the hk gijinkas post, my lines for some are fairly clean but still a little messier - those ones WERE my 'sketches' and i just cleaned them up. i don't often use sketch layers unless it's for a big piece, or the sketch/lineart layer was just. very messy and i should try to do it again ... also coloring my beloathed. it's easier once i know the colors i'm using if i've settled on the palette for the character prior, but still. shadings fun though! time-consuming, and i don't always figure out the lighting right, but it's fine. i liked doing that piece w mon&ze'mer + lurien&aster even though they weren't really colored in as id usually do!

regarding comics tho? ...pending. Will get to you in 2-3 business months (seriously though, one page comics usually take about 2/3 days depending on the whole set-up ‐ and this is only for the lineart part of it. i haven't. colored a comic i've made in literal years abvhgms. and then for larger ones? wagh. motivation comes and goes ;_;)

🖍️, 🌗 and 🙊 for the artist ask meme? This wasn't technically on there, but! How long does it typically take you to finish a piece?

🖍️ When did you start drawing? Do you remember?

i've always drawn, tbh, esp on paper while in school. even outside of that, i know when i was younger i would always have a notepad w me in the kitchen so that when i was making meals, i could draw in-between

but, honestly, the thing that made me start taking it seriously was when i was around 8 years old and i realized what game developers did. it just seemed like a really great way to get across what you wanted to do, and i... wanted to do that too! i had a lot of ideas, i still do, and i want to be able to share that. i don't draw my ocs much anymore, bc i just... have not got the energy,and i get real paranoid over sharing their full concepts publicly, but i still think over their stories. they've always been dear to me <3

🌗 Is night or day better for drawing?

answered!
