It was Maid Day today yesterday a week ago so I got struck by inspiration to draw the worsties, and it ran away from me into a whole AU where they’re coworkers at a maid cafe. She’s a med student & this is just a part time job, and this is his depression job while he gets his life back together. He needs something he can be workaholic about to forget what it’s like having a personal life and personal issues. He’s actually the accountant, but the new hire janitor (Izutsumi) doesn’t show up for half her shifts and is a sloppy worker, so he gets the extra work of doing her job on top of his because he’s undervalued and overworked. Of course, janitors also have an uniform to keep the aesthetic cohesion as they go about cleaning the place, of course.

Senshi’s the part time cook you only see slivers off, he’s kind and warm when you do see him and have a chat but most shifts he’s in and out the kitchen without a trace. Laios and Falin are regulars because Falin and Marcille are besties & in the same med school, Laios accompanies Falin as she visits her friend at work and gets hooked on the food. Chilchuck has to remind Marcille to work instead of chatting with Falin for an hour, and next thing he knows she’s distracting him from work too. That’s it that’s the AU. Inspired by this idol AU fanart a bit <3

This was not meant to be birthday gift but well…… Happy bday Chil!!!

Read from left to right

#Dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #Chilchuck tims #marcille donato #spoilers #dunmeshi au #Maid cafe au #Marchil #Workwife marchil save me. Kabuholm in the background bc i said so lmao #i think people forget marci n chil are coworker worsties first and foremost. Ppl should capitalize on it more #The orange hair swag that makes him look like a marketable idol more #You can tell idk how to draw maid outfits. I hate those hats sm I will miku miku beam them out of existence #Marcille does change her hairstyle everyday btw #they don’t get back together btw she goes you haven’t talked to me in 4 years and he immediately goes YOU haven’t talked to ME in 4–#i mean ehem i’m sorry haha… while Marcille is like 4 years?! 4 years…#Mei only did it bc Fler has been getting jittery again kept sighing #I wanted to draw Chil with a car key at his belt but it wasn’t meant to be #idk if marchil ever gets together in this one it’s an eternal summer coworker with tension situationship au #romance is when you slowly deteriorate his work ethics so he starts skipping on his worktime to spend it at the front messing around w you #once he’s blessedly in the office and he hears this huge crash and the Marci just goes ‘…… Chiiiiiil?’ cue sigh and having to repair #the coffee machine. So many lil comics i couldn’t indulge myself to draw save me #shoutout to the time as a cashier in training at a convenience store I was left by my coworker who was supposed to wash the greasy chicken #oven but didn’t so I had to clean it for the first time myself while I was alone in the store and was also supposed to man the front #Shoutout to my convenience store’s accountant helping us with cashier duties often when there was less job to do ty ty #Understaffed struggles are so real #People also call Chil a manager because the boss is most often away so he just does everything #There’s no union but maybe one day he’ll get to overthrow the boss idk #The pay IS good at least #Modern au

some business to take care of

#i was tempted to caption this as she was a skater boy and she was also another skater boy but #duck scribbles #midoyuzu #enstars #whats up guys im being embarrassing again on main #been wanting a new phone wallpaper and this was born. its the lesbian version though im not showing that #midori takamine #yuzuru fushimi #yuzumido #ensemble stars #also have additional doodles that r kind of corny and im too ashamed to add into the main post so i might add on a reblog or maybe not #midterms were so awful i had to keep reminding myself i can go ham drawing whatever i want once im done. and naturally its this #anyways ive always liked midos city rider fit it suits her so well #always wanted to find a good one to pair w it and the wink killer 2nd half xscout was toooo good i was inspired immediately #finally could use this good ref pic ive had saved since forever i need to draw backgrounds more too it was rather fun somehow #mental state has been yoyoing an insane degree lately like come on i dont need to be reminded i am a useless hunk of meat every other day #with nothing good going for them. college is amazing at reminding me of such god bless #i have bad tendencies to self isolate behind the excuse of concentrating that i am trying to fix . but its hard to get back when i do #not to mention the entire Big Event happening over in good ol amerika serikat!!! my apathy is naturally immense #but whats some peace of mind here and there idk. im gonna read yuri

Thinking about vampires, death, life, and the space they occupy in between

#to be or not to be. that is the question #ty adam for being my model for dramatic vampire moment #musings on the thinkings about:#when to live you are required to hurt others. you must repeatedly ask yourself what the value of your life is #To sleep... perchance to dream...#ah. THERES THE RUB.#ok I actually couldnt come up with too many thoughts. I had a lot more while I was drawing this but I guess I put them in the painting LOL #reading that soliloquy and being like damn this is just like vampires #the reality of course is that the soliloquy is a debate over suicide and ultimately making the choice to live #even if just out of fear of the unknown #and vampires are about dying and then in undeath choosing to continue to live #despite the fear of eternity and loneliness and hurting others #theyre not the same. but like let me thiiink come onnnn I'm allowed to thiiink and have incomplete thoughts #I would have to write like a proper essay about this to organize my thoughts. this is the tags on a tumblr post.#anyways finished episode 79 #working on patreon stickers for this month (and next month soon)#and working on book 4. taking a pause from episodes cause I've got 3 weeks of buffer now... UGH #I'm so mad that they changed it. it would have been 5 weeks before but it's fine it's whatever #anyways yeah taking a break from episodes to make my book now!#its good stuff.#and this painting is good stuff #banger after banger from me tbh #this was a little relaxing giving myself a couple hours to muse #it's necessary for my health and I always forget that til I do a painting...#I loved doing the little landscape in the background too I should do that more! I love how plants are just like whatever shape you want #like you can make up any plant you want and not only does that plant PROBABLY exist somewhere #a weirder plant exists somewhere too. so. literally whatever you want #ok bye again for a few days while I get back to work

While I do think anon was rude, I do think it's pretty shitty to set up all this stuff you were going to add the au and then just drop it. It's disappointing. Definitely unfollowing.

Bye.

#ask me #anon #once AGAIN.#I am not dropping anything #the au is not getting cancelled. more than likely i'm gonna take a break from it until i find motivation again #But I've been drawing the AU for half a fucking year #In that time I've only drawn 5 things that aren't mlp related #I'm getting tired and my last few posts didn't do as well as I'd hoped #And I'm not about to burn myself out on mlp au art even if I really do love making it #I'm still gonna make comics. I have a bunch of ideas.#Tulli and I still wanna do the limited run merch shop #Discord is still coming. Sunset is still coming. Sombra is still coming. I have so many ideas #But I need to do something else for my own sake. Did you know I was supposed to get the background 6 designs done by now #But I didn't because I'm TIRED #I've been keeping myself on a schedule to keep content pumping despite travel and school and family and I'm tired #what i'm getting isn't matching what i'm giving and that's nobody's fault. i'm not frustrated at anyone. a slump was bound to happen #drawing the au was fun until it become my Thing. Because when your Thing––your identity––starts to faulter #it can really make you freak out #And that's not healthy for the project or for myself. I need to find the fun again and I'm sure I will #I'm really appreciative of everyone's support in my inbox and replies it really does mean a lot especially given that about 2/3 of my #followers followed for mlp. But if you're gonna react to me saying “i'm gonna cool down on mlp art and draw my own stuff” with “i'm #disappointed in you." then Leave! I think it's good you're unfollowing #you are not obligated to stick by my side! But don't act like I'm doing you a disservice by turning my attention elsewhere #I didn't promise anyone anything and I definitely didn't say I'm breaking any promises.

#kirby series #kirby triple deluxe #no characters to tag today!#i made myself a new desktop background. if you like you are free to use it also.#it was fun to draw something in this style again. maybe we'll see more of it in the future?#headcanon time i think the castle here was left overgrown and in a state of disrepair after tdx. not at all a priority for the people-#who ended up in charge. who i think are probably the people of the sky.#apologies for the infrequency in posting! i've been drawing but it's all doodle sheet type stuff which i bet you guys are sick of by now.#i'd really like to be able to make more complete pieces but i'm in a bit of a creative rut atm. maybe when tablet come it will get better?#who's to say. certainly not me.#...if you read this all the way through you win a cookie.

look at me getting shit done!!

okay so for the next tarot card, the High Priestess, i chose the figure of The Body - specifically Harrow's obsessive characterization and adoration of her. The High Priestess in the Arcana tarot "guards the threshold between the physical and spiritual planes," which in my interpretation can be seen in the way Harrow turns to The Body for guidance while she grapples with reality and the River in HTN. The High Priestess is the divine feminine, which I don't necessarily think is reflective of Alecto, but of Harrow's idealized version of The Body and her devout worship. pulling the High Priestess in a reading can signify the importance of prioritizing your intuition and subconscious mind, themes that are obviously very prominent in HTN. while drawing this card i also started to think about how in christianity, there is the holy trinity: God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. something about Alecto's series of personalities (The Body, Nona, Alecto) is reflective of this trichotomy and i just thought that was interesting. do i have any grand plot analysis about this thought? no. but that is okay

i have to apologize for how long it took me to crank this one out; i started to get frustrated with the rendering of all the background portions and i was also depressed because of my job (which I quit!) so it took me awhile to finish. i finally just forced myself to finish it though and i'm really happy with the result! that being said, for my next card i'm going to try a new lineart technique, and i'm excited to see how that goes, so stay tuned!

edit: i realized i left some lineart in my drawing over the hair that was meant to be erased...had to fix that and also i'm posting the print version rather than the card version :)

#tlt #the locked tomb #tarot #alecto #the body #htn #atn #gtn #ntn #harrow the ninth #digital art #queer art #analysis #the background is supposed to be a frozen lake bc i could not get myself to draw any more rocks #also the metal is all frozen too and i know the tomb is encased (i think) but lets just call it artistic liberties #self reblog #edit

You know I'm still thinking about deviantART's infamous switch from its classic layout to the 'Eclipse' mode (aka their cheap attempt at becoming ArtStation 2) and how much it fucked up the website.

Literally the only reason I was still active there at the time was thanks to the website's very active ARPG scene, and with the switch all the systems that made them work smoothly got ruined - pushing some ARPG groups to move to wobbly websites trying to offer what was lost, some groups to try and do with the new dA layout with difficulty, and causing the demise of many more.

I don't know how the website is these days and if it managed to regain a little of its balance from ere but damn. They sure shot themselves in the foot back then. And shot their users also.

What's with websites trying to be other websites and losing themselves in the process over and over again

#deviantart #ik this feels like its coming out of nowhere but #ive been thinking about my ARPG days again and how fun it was #and how motivating and creatively satisfying #the experience point system for each new drawing did wonders for my adhd brain too. numbers going up goes brr #serotonin factory #i made friends. i made stories. it was wonderful #it also 'forced' me to draw backgrounds to get more points. motivated me to push myself #idk. what a loss man. i still think about it

there she is!!!

#ONE MORE SKETCH DONE 😤#admittedly I haven't worked on these in awhile.... my goal is to be done sketching and inking all of them by the start of september 😭#sketching is the hardest part tho because it's the step that involves the actual execution of the concept and composition #as well as like... the skill to actually Draw everything #inking is probably the easiest and fastest step #and painting is incredibly time consuming and often tedious but with a project like this I can sort of do all of it together #all the backgrounds and skin and fabric etc etc can happen for all of the cards can happen at once #but its also the most stressful #because its the easiest and worst to fuck up with watercolors #one wrong color or wonky blending improperly mixed shade can ruin the whole thing #but its also rlly exciting to see it all coming together #I'm just going to have to work rlly hard to pace myself #because otherwise I'll get fed up and 'give up' on parts and end up with a product I'm not proud of #ghost posts #my art #jyl #jl #cql tarot
