what if when Mobius said “scar tissue”, Mobius meant he self h*rmed after the other hunters were killed because he thought it was his fault?

whenever a fanfic says that Mello is wearing a t-shirt I know they probably mean something like this:

That episode where Snotlout got tricked into trading his stuff for ridiculously priced chicken feed has convinced me all the dragon riders have the worst fucking tan lines ever.

how did u learn to paint?? like i just cant wrap my head around it

<3 I love answering asks like this!

You will have to bare with me, I don't save many of my studies, and my files aren't that organized so I don't have as many images as I would like.

The studies I've found most helpful for myself personally with painting are various master studies. (This is also, as always, alongside study of fundamentals.) And always follow a study with self-critique (and, if you can get it, outside critique!)

"Master" in this sense means anyone who you want to learn something from.

One way you can do this is by copying an artist's work directly. This is to try and understand some of their stylistic techniques. Leyendecker, Andrew Loomis, and John Singer Sargent are personal favorites of mine! I try to keep these quick, I'm not trying to get an exact copy.

I also get a lot out of copying photos. In this case, I'm not trying to glean some technique, rather, I'm trying to interpret the photo and explore my own stylizations.

(photo credit mountain men of alaska )

I also really enjoy taking a painting or piece that already exists, and making it "mine" by putting my characters in it haha, which is sort of a combination of master studies and photo studies!

(William Bruce Ellis - Covent Garden (1930)) (Barberini Faun)

And then, in my work that's not a study at all, I'm informed by all of these!

What master studies do is help me refine my style and practice my technique, but also I'm communicating with artists of the past through my art! They're teaching me! And I have so much to learn.

And of course... most importantly... I paint.

a lot.

I don't do as much study anymore, not because I feel I've learned all I need to, but because for work I draw 50+ drawings a week. 'Drawing for work' and 'study' occupy the same space in my brain and I need some fun drawing time!

So to sum up, draw a lot, reference constantly, and copy the people you want to draw more like!

(and, of course, when doing a study off of someone else's work, always give them credit. If it's your photos there's no need.)

i think it would be really funny if regis had a kind of fucked-up haircut

“he could save everyone except himself” but like with regard to the barbery, and not the surgery. kind of like when chefs don’t cook very well for themselves. or when fashion designers wear sweatpants all day.

but moreover. i think the aesthetic effects of a bad haircut would help to dampen his natural lugosian allure and good looks. to reduce any potential suspicions

WAIT TALON LOSES HIS WRINKLAGE WHEB HES FED?

Yeas ^_^ talon was turned when he was like 29 but even then he had a youthful/baby face. His default form looks something like dis (im still figuring it out, i dont draw him Young often for character reasons)

he doesn't like that he never gets to age, mostly after experiencing abuse under the assumption that he was even younger than he looks, so he forgoes feeding (the vampiric fountain of youth) so he can look old all the time to feel safer, be taken seriously etc (dis is also why he always looks uncomfortable when i draw him Unwrinkled, he feels unguarded and exposed)

He could just shapeshift to look however he wants when he's fed but it means needing to feed more often, he likes his Aged appearance to feel "Natural" and also well. Punishing himself, because sometimes disordered eating and other behaviors that can and do stem from abuse are just like that

yknow what . i like you . shows you my exe ocs and also gives you little summaries of them underneath the read more cut and in the tags :3 ( desc in alt text 4 the 1st img ! ) - Nicky 🌊

in order: Rawr.EX3/EXD (any) imagine sonic.exe + 2010s sparkledog raver culture . that's Rawr. she likes waffles and is a virus exe who lives in a bootleg rom pack of the first 3 sonic games & a sonic crackers prototype Itazura, Guardian of Mischief (she/they/it/plush) first ever pc port oc!!! what it says on the tin. secret 8th guardian who loves nothing more than causing problems and playing life-threatening pranks on people. you can tell they're after you if you hear what sounds like jingling bells and giggling around your house in the dead of night. oh and plush's kyofu's kid 👍

Sew (any, no she/her) amorphous dimension travelling critter that uses sewing / crafting to make it's "skin" , typically based off of pre-existing people in the dimension. saw sonic and his super form and thought he was the COOLEST thing alive, so it chooses to resemble him :] Sink/Waterhog/Nicky (we use he/it but it doesn't rlly care /ref) literally just me lol , but from a 3rd person perspective he's a personal take on Mr. DJ's "Sink Sonic" concept . he's like 12-13ish and has way too much lore for me to summarise but fun fact : worldbuilding wise, he's a mish-mosh of the games, the Shogakukan sonic manga and a little bit of sonic x sprinkled in. :3

i really do feel like one of my biggest divides with bruce or bat fandom at large is simply not ascribing to the notion that bruce doesn’t invest in permanent romance bc of his own principles like historically this could not be farther from the truth my friends. and i personally really do think what makes bruce way more interesting as a character is that even though he is devoted to his cause there are times where he falters and wants to lay down and rest and give in to a beloved bc he is so, so tired. i don’t know what we really gain from acting like bruce cruises on autopilot willingly. that may be how it was very initially bc it was easier for him to do so without many attachments but once people entered his life and he came to love them dearly i think it was more of a resignation than an outright willingness. like there will always be bruce’s principles at the root of everything and he will always do good when push comes to shove but the point is sometimes people do have to push him to care again bc the burden is exhausting to bear. i don’t think it means anything less of his core idealism to say he is by now resigned to his fate. if anything it humanizes him more and if we want to be really radical it provides the perfect avenue for bruce to explore why vigilantism is ultimately non-viable in the long term and how there may be other avenues along which he can explore idealism that would not be so sacrificial of his own self

gojo fr walked into shinjuku with the tightest shirt he could find, huge pants that accentuate his slutty little waist, lips extra glossy. probably did something with his hair too.

Doylist: since Jamie Tartt has a quarter sleeve tattoos to save time at the makeup department just put Jamie Tartt in long sleeves during almost every game day scene/whenever he's in his kit/work out clothes.

Watsonian: Jamie developed the habit of long sleeves to hide his bruises (inward explanation). Jamie has stated he gets cold upstairs and hot downstairs so he wears long sleeves cuz he gets cold easily (outward explanation that he tells the others).

hcs for mercs that would self harm from least likely to most likely. sorry

soldier might be reckless but wouldnt deliberately hurt himself

demo might drink himself into oblivion to avoid his problems but also wouldnt do anything deliberate

scout excessively runs until he nearly passes out when hes dealing with shit which could constitute as self harm. he has poor emotional regulation skills

engineer is similar, throwing himself into his work to avoid his problems but also he cut off his own hand so he probably isnt above deliberate self harm. probably views it as a "solution" to a problem/a valiant effort to solve his problems

pyro probably played with lighters and matches when they were a teen and would burn themself for a sense of control. often gets too close to fire because of the comfort, isnt afraid to die

heavy will hit himself/deliberately bruise himself/punch things until his knuckles bleed, blames himself for a lot of things, feels he needs to carry a lot on his shoulders

spy snuffs out his cigarettes on his wrists when hes upset. needs a sense of control to bring him comfort. has some kind of past that makes him feel disgusted with himself sometimes, hurting himself makes him feel like he can perform better on the battlefield

sniper has very low self esteem and is passively suicidal, gets in relationships with men who treat him like shit/gets in fights and lets himself get beaten to a pulp. is similar to heavy in that he hits himself and leaves bruises. likes the idea of nursing physical wounds instead of dealing with emotional ones

medic has been actively cutting his arms/thighs with medical scalpels for 30 years on-and-off, goes through phases of cutting and then swearing off it for months before relapsing. addicted to the control and thrill it gives him. possible history with neglect/abuse/sa. feels like something is really wrong with him (there probably is) and at this point cutting is a comfort. has almost bled out and died more times than he could count when he gets carried away with it
