#guess i need better art. my art isn't good enough 😭

[alchemiclee]

I can't stop thinking about wanting to open shop for my art prints and stickers and eventually keychains and charms and stuff. and even some of my 3d printed figures i'm working to paint. but then my brain reminds me that no one wants my stuff and it wont sell so it will be a waste of time and money 😭 ugh what do. don't want a repeat of last time where I spent a few hundred dollars to print art and stickers and ended up giving most of it away for free and throwing away the rest 😭😭😭

Kibutsuji (name)

(You basically look like Tomie)

Physical age : 17 / 18

Actual age : around 990 - 100

Personality : Basically like Tomie but she is a bit nicer, though she is still confident, despite being the strongest demon along side her brother, she always treats demons normally, she's never been seen upset and/or mad at anyone or anything, despite how she is actually feeling (that doesn't make sense but just go with it🙏😭)

Hc : She has also never consumed a human before, shocking, isn't it... but even if she hasn't, she is still incredibly strong, and no one really can notice she if is a demon because she has no bloodlust.

(Name) has beauty that no human can handle, which leads to men loving her so much they want her to dissappear from this world, and women killing her out of envy.

But of course, she always will return, thats just how It is.

She is very close friends with Daki, as when the young Demoness laid eyes on (name) she immediately wanted to be her best friend.

Muzan cannot read (names)'s mind, so he to could never know what emotion she is experiencing or what she is thinking.

She is also very close with Rui and Kokushibo, Rui sees (name) as an older sister, as she took care of him and treaded him better then any member in his 'family'. For Kokushibo, he is respectful to (name) because of her status and her and Muzan having the same blood, but due to (name) being stubborn and trying to be-friend him, he eventually warmed up to her and considered her as a close friend.

Upper 4 & 5 .... sigh. Gyokko has made very many pots for (name), because the praise he gets from her make him feel confident and good about his precious art, Hantengu however... he... he is fine, I guess.

Hantengu was very convinced that (name) would make fun of his looks because compared to her... he wouldn't be comparable- But to his surprise, (name) was kind to him, and soon enough, he got less scared when he was around her. Key word ; less

Uppermoon 3? He drinks his Respect women juice DAILY, so I can see him being respectful to you like Cockushibo.

At first, he thought you weren't a demon and was confused when you showed up in one of the uppermoon meetings, and was even more shocked that Kokushibo bowed to you to show respect. So after he found about you and your status, he was trying his best to avoid you att all costs, but of course, (name) was too stubborn to let that slide.

Douma, the friendship between you to is kind of difficult tbh, he is very used to being an annoying little fuck so he could get on peoples nerves for fun, but when he tried that with you, nothing happened. He really thought you were serious and cocky like Muzan but, you proved him wrong.

Author's note

Hi!!! I made this chapter to show information about (name) and her relationships with demons and such, I'm thinking about doing this with the demon slayer corps but I kinda just pulled this idea out of my ass and I need to know what I'm doing instead of just writing what pops out of my head...

Anyways- I hope you find this useful!

I guess the big issue is that I can never Find what I want and I struggle with Making what I want too. I struggle a lot with figuring out what would be a good pose for an icon. I struggle with posing in general but I can usually get away with it in full drawings. It's more complicated in icons because it's a smaller picture, so you need to convey a Lot More for it to come through. And if you want the face to be the focus, you can't draw a full-body (which weirdly enough I'm usually better at than bust shots). So, I can't win. Can't think of good poses, not great at drawing bust shots. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually though. I do keep trying.

Another big issue is that I suck at drawing myself lmfao. Often times I try to draw characters instead to get around this problem, but idek what character I would do right now. I kinda just want it to be me. I have so many features that aren't "typical" it feels like that I rarely see in art. And I'm not even talking about my big mole on my chin here, like sure that isn't a "typical" feature but it doesn't get in the way of drawing much. Ramble abt that below the cut

I mean features like: My eyes being fairly wide-set. My eyes being down-turned and Slightly hooded. My noticeable deviated septum making my nostrils appear uneven. My subtle-ish clefts on my nose + chin. My cheekbones being full. My cheeks in general being so chubby they squish my lips making them appear bigger. My lips being Very pink (how do I draw that without it looking like I'm wearing lipstick? It doesn't look right if I don't colour it differently at all though.)

And then there's features that aren't "not typical" but I just don't know how to draw them. Usually bc other artists don't draw them so my brain can't work out how to make it look good in my own art. But also just. Ok you'll see when you read it you'll understand.

I can't figure out what to draw irt my very subtle double chin situation. It's like, it's definitely there, but I don't know how to draw a Smaller one. I can draw bigger double chins fine, but, yeah. Every time I've tried it looks bigger than it does irl or otherwise doesn't look right. Which is what makes me worry I shouldn't be doing it at all, worrying that I've somehow lied to myself about my own features. Especially considering the rest of my body is more on the skinny side, though admittedly stocky. But I suppose it doesn't look right when I *don't* do it either... Yeah, it's weird. Dunno what to do about that lmfao. I hope I figure out how to draw it in a way that looks right eventually.

There's also my hair, which... a part of the problem here is just that I have a boring haircut that I don't like that much. But that I don't know what else to do with my hair! For context, my hair is wavy, pretty sure it's 2B on the hair type chart thingies. But I also want it to be short. I'd love for it to be spiky, but for some reason it loves curling downwards at the ends. (And I'm terrified of cutting it short enough so that it doesn't wave. Terrified it'll make me look ridiculous.) Also, it's thick, so it loves forming together to become one big block of hair. Which, doesn't look that interesting to draw. Also I have no fringe, frizzy hair, and a huge forehead so... 😭. Also difficult to draw.

And then there's my head size, which is, for some reason, very big. My shoulders being decently wide helps make it look more balanced, but. It's big enough that the work cap I'm supposed to wear for work almost doesn't fit me. I have to do a weird thing in the back with the velcro to get it to barely work. Although this problem shouldn't be too relevant for a bust-shot icon.

And there's so many not "typical" features that my Body has too but they wouldn't be relevant for a bust-shot icon. In general, with both my body and face, a lot of my non "typical" features I have, have associations with Things That I have. Like my triple X and my hypermobility (low muscle tone being associated w both of them) are the main 2 (technically 3) things I can think of rn. But obviously not ALL of the not typical things I have are from anything like that, sometimes it's just, not typical!

LIKE. I'M SURE THIS IS NORMAL TO AN EXTENT. Like. I'm sure everyone has Some non "typical" features. But.... idk. I think this is maybe a bit more than just that? DSJGSDJKGH. Like I'm not even really insecure over most of these features, I like how my face looks! And I like most things abt my body too. They just... aren't typical. So it's hard to figure out how to draw them.

For years I've been trying to find a good icon I actually like but I never seem to be able to find/make anything that actually has the vibes I want it to have. Augh
