these two are so interesting to me
characters belong to @canisalbus
#clenches fists. im so sosososo normal about them. i think about them a normal amount (lying)#actually the 2nd image is based on some sort of anime couple pose template(?????) that i saw a while back and wanted to draw them in it#but i swear to god i CANNOT FUCKING FIND IT. i was literally knee deep in yuri and yaoi fanart for hours trying to find that god damn photo#but i dont even know who the characters were and pinterest just shows me bakugou and deku making out sloppy style whenever i try#so i gave up an tried drawing it from memory and cried the whole time. i hate anatomy.. but they look so happy so its fine#god whenever i see Lore or sweet little tidbits for these two i want to tear into something with my teeth and throw something /pos#i genuinely want to study these gay little renaissance dogs under a microscope#what fucks me up is the fact that we all know it ends horribly but u cant help loving them anyway.. they are so. incoherent hand gestures#my art#myart#others ocs#vasco#machete#vaschete#furry art#fur#anthro

How I save time on backgrounds as a full-time webcomic artist
Hi! I make webcomics for a living, and I have to be able to draw a panel extremely fast to keep up with my deadlines. I draw about 50 panels a week, which gives me about 45 minutes per panel if I want any semblance of a healthy work-life balance.
Most webtoon artists save time on backgrounds by using 3d models, which works for them and is great! but personally I hate working in 3d... I went to school for it for a year and hated it so much I completely changed career paths and vowed never to do it again! So, this is how I save time without using any 3d, for those of you out there who don't like it either!
This tactic has also saved me money (3d models are expensive) and it has helped me converting my comic from scroll format into page format for print, because I have much more art to work with than what's actually in the panels. (I'll touch on this later)
So, first, I make my backgrounds huge. my default starting size is 10,000 x 10,000 pixels. My panels are 2,500 pixels wide, so my backgrounds are 4x that, minimum. Because of this, I make them less detailed than I could or that you might expect so it doesn't look weird against my character art when I shrink portions of it down.
I personally find it much easier to add in detail than to make "removing" details look natural at smaller sizes, but you might have different preferences than I do.
I also make sure to keep all of my elements on separate layers so that I can easily remove or replace them, I can move them to simulate different camera angles more easily, and it's simple to adjust the lighting to imply different times of day.
Then I can go ahead and copy/paste them into my episodes. I move the background around until it feels like it's properly fitting how I want.
Once I've done that in every panel, I'll go back through the episode and clean up anything that looks weird, and add in solid blacks (for my art style) Here's a quick before and after of what that looks like!
This makes 90% of my backgrounds take me just a few hours. This is my tactic when I'm working in an environment that an entire scene, or multiple scenes, will take place.
But many panels will inevitably have a location that's used exactly once, and it would waste time and effort to draw a massive background for those. So in 10% of cases, I just draw the single panel background in the episode. I save all of these, just in case I can re-use it later (this happens more often with outdoor locations, but I save them all nonetheless!)
I generally have to draw about 2 big backgrounds per episode, and 3-5 single-panel backgrounds per episode! At the beginning of an arc/book the number is higher, but as the series is continuing and I'm building up an asset library of indoor and outdoor elements to re-use for the book, the number generally goes down and I save more time.
My series involves time travel and mysteries, so there's a lot of new locations in it and we're constantly moving around. If I were working on a series that was more consistent in this aspect, this process would save me even more time!
Like I said earlier, this also saves me a lot of pain and gives me a lot more options as I'm converting from scroll format to print format!
panels that look like this in scroll format...
can look like this in print!
because I drew the background like this, so I didn't need to go through the additional effort to add in the extra detail to expand it outwards at all.
Anyways, I hope this helps someone! As always if it doesn't help, just go ahead and disregard. This is what I do and what works for me, and I feel like I only ever see time-saving tips for comics that involve 3d models and workflows, which don't work for me at all! I know there's more people like me out there, so this is for you!
Enjoy!
Also obligatory "my webcomic" if you want to see this in action or check it out!

Okay but what if the skywing dragonet actually survived?
Yeah i'm going to yap about my own AU about this.
But who said the Skywing dragonet is normal?
:)
(more yapping under the cut)
So bascially, in the first book, in the prologue specifically, most of everything is the same. Hvitur is trying to escape with the Skywing dragonet, gets caught by Burn, Burn makes her little speech yeah y'all know that part
But like. After she drops the egg, Hvitur actually manages to escape from the guards and her, and runs to grab the egg. He manages to do so, but he was SO desesperate to save that egg that he forgot he could fly, instead he used his wings to shield the egg and avoid it from getting damaged from the impact. In the end Hvitur still dies in this au sorry not sorry
Kestrel finds Hvitur's dead body and the egg and was quick to grab it before Burn's soldiers arrived, taking it to the caves.
The DoDs hatches in thr brightest night (Starflight still doesn't get powers privileges btw) and yay they (the guardians) fullfilled the prophecy!... Welp, since all of the DoDs are weird af (affectionate ofc <3), so is the Skywing dragonet.
The Guardians did not expect the little female dragonet to be 'odly white', aka albino. They thought her feathers and scales would get its colors after a few months or years but nothing seemed to change. And worse than that, she's partially blind.
Meet Swan, everyone!
(second image is a sketch of a more 'canon' take on her! Just a silly thing to check out my skills in drawing dragons :))
(more yapping coming soon don't worry, and y'all are all free to ask questions about the au!)
#wings of fire#wof#wof skywing#wof art#wof au#wings of fire au#skywing#wof oc#btw Kestrel actually tried to name her something super violent#but Webs and Dune were like “Kestrel don't” and she was like “ugh fine”#and then just simply named her Swan lol#help me i need a name for this au btw

I can't remember whether I ever posted this guy? Drex 'Pooka' Berenockt is Melliwyk's homunculus servant, because she may already have two familiars and the tiny servant and unseen servant spells but none of those things have hands and an intelligence higher than 2. he has wings modeled after an earwig's origami'd into a back panel and he curls down into a sphere when he's deactivated. he is also A Leetol Guy and I love him 😌
#dnd#dungeons and dragons#artificer#homunculus servant#fantasy art#illustration#I think I didn't post him at the time because I wasn't *sure* if this was the final design but like. first of all it probably is#and second of all who care. this is The Gist and The Vibe and if I tweak it from here that's fine#me trying to decide on a design direction for a homunculus servant: should it be Some Sort Of Bug which has been mel's aesthetic#or some sort of dragony thing to keep with the emerging pattern of dragon related creature companions within the party...?#me: POR QUE NO LOS DOS#homunculus servants have more utility in combat than regular familiars cause they can shoot laser beams#(his shoot out of his mouth obviously-- plus having an articulated jaw means she can cast dragon's breath on him)#BUT-- for melliwyk 90% of the design choices were based around like. 'can take dictation' 'can help me find that doohickey I misplaced' lol#he's a lab assistant with only incidental combat utility#my OCs#melliwyk#drex#vale walkers

Amazing, take some of the side character demons from Evil Bound.
Vincie is a menace to Chuck and Chuck alone so in Hell, Chuck hexes his hand behind his back so that he isn't grabbed as much (and it's harder to pet him). Chuck is like the most irresponsible older sibling ever to demons though so Kelvin recruits him (as an older sibling vibe) to go help him get his ACTUAL older sibling from Earth. Chuck agrees. And then drags Vincie from Hell with them because no one else wants to babysit him and he refuses to unbind the hex just to re-hex when he returns to Hell.
In Hell, Kelvin actually doesn't appear much different than his human form! Like Kronos, the lines under his eyes are red in Hell but black on earth. Chuck however? In Hell he has wolf-ish ears and has a fur lining his neck (note the neck scars in human form). In addition to that he has four eyes in Hell (note the scars under his eyes in human form). Vincie just has horns in Hell. And! In Hell the hex doesn't have a silly looking "tied up" look, it's invisible unless Vincie strains it with movement and then its red text. But it shifts on earth to be visible.
Vincie's biggest agony for the entirety on earth is "dude it's colder here than in Hell I want a jacket to slip my arms into BUT I CANT BECAUSE IM BOUND".
#my characters#amazing show stopping rng wheel thanks#i have my oc plots on a wheel - thats 80 different options! wow! - and spun it#i spun twice and the first time it was the bodyguard plot that i drew a few days ago#the second time was evil bound#i genuinely think it new its a bad day and im not doing well so it took it easy on me with things id done recently#anyway ive never colored kelvin before which i realized today#i only have pencil art of him#also fun fact about their lil earth adventures#they fucking fail horrifically the first time they go and kronos doesnt go back#then they go back to try and get him to forcefully bring him back and theeeeen shit hits the fan#and so vincie is vibing with tolliver since hes basically useless without hands and then oops!#no more hex! and so he starts to get really super scared and tolliver is like uh isnt that a good thing your hands are free now#and vincie is horrified because the only way to break a hex from a distance is if the caster is near dead or dead#and if thats the case chuck is probably dead and that means what if kronos and kelvin are dead#how is he gonna get back to hell alone and is HE going to get punished for it#but then kronos and kelvin show up and take vincie back to hell with the not breathing chuck#but its fine in the end bc the succubi bring him back to ... life ? question mark? anyway hes revived#but vincie does have a part where hes just crying in tollivers apartment bc he thinks hes gonna be punished#for not helping the other demons and then they died#but chuck dying is basically why kronos goes back to hell - he feels responsible (hes at fault so good for him to own up)#vincie is one of the very few demons who doesnt have dark sclera#chuck vincie and kronos all have black sclera while the succubi have gray#i dont think there was ever a reason for it tbh i should make up a reason#time to go lie down and not exist the rest of the night if i can avoid it

Been thinking about how I engage with media knowing I have autism versus how I used to engage, before I understood why I felt everything so damn much, too much, all the time, why does it seem so easy for everyone else but I crumble when my shoelace is tied wrong. It’s the first time in my life that things have made sense.
(So.. yeah. Maybe logically I know that Bowser would be a sensory nightmare to be around, but like, if you slap on some headphones and stay away from the lava moat so you don’t overheat, you should be good, right. …right? 💀)

Hi, Tumblr folks. For the first time ever, I'm opening up emergency comms via Ko-Fi. Long story short, less hours at work, but not less expenses in life, is a BAD combination of things. Any & all help is appreciated, whether that's thru commissioning or reblogging!
I've never taken commissions, and I'm not exactly a prolific/active artist, so I don't have a comm sheet or any idea what to charge, soooo the current plan is: tell me what you want & make me an offer, then we'll go from there.
A few quick rules:
1. No proship content and no sexual stuff of underage characters. You ask me for this, your message is getting deleted and you're getting blocked.
2. No "draw a real person or animal from this photo in *insert cartoon or anime* style" requests, please. If you have a reference image of an already cartoonified version of say, yourself or your pet that you'd like art of, THAT I can work with.
3. I don't draw explicit content, but suggestive/some NSFW is on the table. It's on a case by case basis, and I will refuse anything I'm uncomfortable with. But generally speaking, if it's something you'd see in say, the non-edited versions of Tenchi or Outlaw Star, I probably can & will do it.
4. Please don't try to take advantage of the "name & negotiate your price" thing by, for example, offering me $2.00 for an idea with multiple characters, full color + shading & a complicated background. Please just... don't.
Now that the rules are covered, let's talk contact & payment info! My Ko-Fi link is above, and you can either message me there or send me an ask here on Tumblr. 😊 If you prefer sending payments through PayPal, Venmo or CashApp, those are as follows:
PayPal: @ MissLisaMiray
Venmo: @LisaMirayHayes
CashApp: $MissLisaMiray
If you've read this entire long-ass thing, THANK YOU. Your uh, reward is me shutting up & showing you some examples of stuff I've drawn/what I can do. I apologize if downloading stuff from my not-updated-in-4-years deviantArt account then uploading it to Tumblr kills the quality. I am currently away from home (where my original drawings and the files on my computer are), so I'm working with what I've got access to. 😅
#kofi#kofi commissions#emergency commisions open#tenchi muyo fanart#cowboy bebop fanart#rick and morty fanart#death note fanart#sailor moon fanart#bleach fanart#naruto fanart#el hazard fanart#traditional art#90's anime fanart#adult swim fanart#my art#traditional artist#adult swim#toonami#i can draw characters from series not pictured here too!#OCs are also fine so long as you provide references!#colored pencils and crayons and markers oh my!#can you tell i'm running out of tag ideas?#please help if you can#and if you can't help with money reblogs are a great help too!#besides financially helping this is probably just the thing to snap me out of art block#so many tags so little time#all artwork pictured is by me#commissions#let me draw stuff for you!#please reblog

#like yknow what.#it's fine if other people arent doing analysis#or making art#or. idk making shitposts HAHA like#I'm having a freaking good time#I love them#my only fear is like#that people see me making stuff#and theyre like oh I dont have to#or god forbid#I SHOULDNT#like I'd be so so so worried someone would... idk it's silly#but I'm worried someone might see me making stuff and then worry that there's a way to make stuff wrong#there isnt!!! I promise!!!#I promise you can't do it wrong you can make aus you can make fan ocs you can do whatever!#its okay!!!#I just make a ton of stuff because I LOVE them#and I can't help it#theyre straight up my whole life#sorry to all my friends#I dont have much to talk about#other than the them

Feelings on Keefe’s name having 16 letters?
It was my first thought when I saw your post. I wanted to tell you so bad but alas I knew you didn’t want spoilers😭
keefe's middle name spoilers under the cut:
shannon clearly did this to spite me and only me. i keep dunking on her golden boy and she had to rectify it so this is clearly a message aimed at me and me alone (unraveled does unironically read like shannon picked up on fandom culture a bit). irwin isn't even an embarrassing name, she probably originally had it as bartholomew and then changed it when she realized she could get on my nerves because this is all about me obviously. keefe's name is keefe sencen to me i am rejecting his middle name entirely as i said i'd do if it wasn't humiliating enough. and keefe sencen is eleven letters which is fitting because i don't like that number (yucky and odd and prime) and it's probably how many non-point-five books this series is going to have in the end which is also fitting
"because everyone wants to kiss an irwin" bro what the heck is wrong with the name irwin it's literally just some name. and other people in the series have weirder initials, so the k.i.s. thing isn't even strange. fitz's are literally f.a.v. you don't get more on-the-nose than that
#also kis isn't even the same word as kiss. there's a left off s. your honor i have an objection#and once again i am annoyed that the enlightened language seems to translate letter-for-letter into english#the line about kissing an irwin also made me get war flashbacks to a conversation i had with a friend#she was trying to name an oc and i tend to be the person my friends go to for names so i was helping her out#and she wanted a name that was quote “moanable” so she kept rejecting all my suggestions even though they were good (other friend agreed)#anyway. this is how i imagine keefe would act in this situation as well. irwin is a FINE name what is he moaning about. it sounds FINE#the name fitz on the other hand. i have so much beef with the name fitz. i would understand if keefe's middle name was something like that#kotlc keefe#keefe sencen#kotlc unraveled#unraveled#kotlc unraveled spoilers#unraveled spoilers#kotlc spoilers#kotlc book 9.5 spoilers#book 9.5 spoilers#asks#myfairkatiecat#kotlc
