Monochromatic Loveliness
Another paint-over of Alex! This time, picked a mid grey as the 'paper' and used a chalk-crayon brush in white and near-black - only those two shades! Fun challenge.
UGH I am such a strong directional lighting slut.
Yes. I changed the colour of the Casio watch. For my own amusement.

(open pages for better image quality)
the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!
this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).
pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.
prints of individual pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
flower meanings in order of appearance:
#wicked#gelphie#(girl who has so many thoughts about i'm not that girl)#even jonathan bailey said i'm not that girl is a queer anthem. if nobody gets me i know he does#had to hold myself back from doing an animatic to the entire song (i don't have time)#i don't usually work in b&w so i was a little nervous but i'm really proud of how this comic turned out :')#it was a labor of love of many many weeks drawing this in between work#updated with prints for all 8 individual pages since a few people asked♡#might compile it as a little pdf zine when i have time for anyone who wants to keep it in higher resolution to re-read it#elphaba#glinda#gelphie fanart#wicked fanart#wlw#sapphic#lesbian#wlw art#sapphic art#lesbian art#comic#artists on tumblr#glinda x elphaba#elphaba thropp#glinda upland#galinda upland#i'm not that girl#flower meanings#language of flowers

Eve, Kate, Mark and Rex! Nailing some ideas down on how I wanna draw them in the future, and enjoying messing with their designs like usual! Not a fix-it whatsoever just fun + ref for the future! I cannot do realistic styles so translating them into something I can do while still being recognizable is peak. I will mess with Rex's suit more. Trust. I Kate so much now. Look at her <333333
#the brainrotsreal's art tag ✧˖°:*♡#invincible fanart#invincible#mark grayson#digital art#fanart#procreate art#rex splode#duplikate#atom eve#eve wilkins#RAMBLE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEE#MARK: again he's got his mother's pearl earrings as a winky wink to batman reference + fun inkling that he is ALSO his mom's son#MARK: adding to the whole difference of civvie/hero persona he's a bit more miserable looking and anxious w/o the suit while emotional in i#but also means he's eager and confident when he does think he knows what he's doing. but is not as confident outside of it.#heroism is his chance to prove his worth in his eyes even after Dad Realization because know he has to prove he ISNT his Dad.#Basically Invincible will always need to prove himself but he doesn't know how to do that as Mark Grayson. so gold = joy/confidence#stays on Invincible. but not mark#REX: easy peezy a spiky hair style to wink more at his passionate and louder personality as well as wink to the explosion thing#REX: gold earrings and shoulders exposed as civvie because i know in my soul he WOULD. like i cant even explain he told me himself.#goggle change to lean more into the style change! pupil-less design!! and gold eyes cause he got experimented on/powers ingrained.#the dangling bit from the goggles screams fighter and since he does ALSO need to fight it makes sense#KATE: new haircut cause i cant stand her normal one istg. ugh. but keeping the same vibe! leaning more into ben 10 type of elements since#numbers ARE a point of her design AND power so it was only fitting! i love her suit so much#NOWWWWW since she is A REAL FIGHTER like her only thing is multiplying still mean she knows how to throw a punch and MOVE i figure#she works out a ton and has a more flexible sporty fit going on so she's got a hoodie crop top. ready to jog at all times.#once in my brain she's the vague sorta raven of the group (more isolated and withdrawn since she doesn't rlly interact with anyone)#added black made SENSEEEEE#EVEEE: easiest to do because she is starfire of the group so i got possessed! honestly kept all her colors except tried to move around the#logo a bit more and take slight inspo from Justice league Green lantern's design + tweak the logo cause i realized i hate it KSDKS

Idk I just wanted to draw them
#ok so how annabeth’s hair works is#my headcanon is that she purposely gets grey loc extensions bc she likes the grey streaks#bc her natural hair gets covered up with the extensions#she just wants to be matching with Percy even when she does other hairstyles#my art#fan art#artists on tumblr#percy jackson#pjo#hoo#heroes of olympus#riordanverse#annabeth chase#percabeth

[Day 302]
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
DAY 300 SPECIAL TWO DAYS LATE!! and I thought I can make this into a DTIYS for the special too so rules below :D
RULES:
You have two choices for the coloring!
Keep the pose/general composition and color it however u want OR
Keep OR change the composition and just keep the general motifs BUT keep the colors muted/grayscaleish/color paletted as a fun challenge >:D
More general rules:
Feel free to use ur own designs
NO TIME LIMIT!!! I totally didn't forget to say this
Keep the same characters ofc
No AI/ tracing and all that, you know the drill
Vaguely keep the night and dancing themes but feel free to play around with it!
Use # Isjasz Darkless DTIYS and @ me :D
Last thing, not a rule but pspsppsp if u stare at the stars long enough you might find something :3
#dddaily4sherin#Isjasz Darkless DTIYS#<- da tag#desert duo#grian#goodtimeswithscar#3rd life#3rd life smp#third life#traffc smp#trafficblr#yes this is not isal HSAJKEH#the isat references are too real tho even tho this is. not supposed to be isat HELPMEEEEEEEEEEE#my art#how does dtiys work on tumblr idfk fr hel#this wasnt gonna be a dtiys either too until i asked my beloved friend eirian LMSADOWOJ#o777777777#but yea the grayscale lineless!!!!!!! ive been wanting to do this for a while :D

everyone loves talking about little jon in correlation to mr. spider but no one ever talks about how insufferable this kid was. i wouldn’t wish sitting next to him in class upon my worst enemy
#if i had to do a group project with him i’d be so annoyed but at least he gets his work done#hc that he’s always read his books out loud like he does with statements btw. he stopped around middle school—#— when enough people called him annoying for it#he definitely had a bowl cut until he was like 6. he looks like the type. and then THIS is what he upgraded to#real talk i love making fun of him as much as the next guy but he’s soooo relatable unfortunately#he’s just a little boy in an unending pursuit of knowledge. he’s new to the world and all he wants is to know how it all works.#and even at this age a part of him knows he’ll never be able to satiate that curiosity#or something. anyways he would love reciting fun facts to strangers (no one else finds them very fun)#the magnus archives#tma#tma fanart#magpod#the magnus archives fanart#tma art#jonathan sims#the archivist tma#jarchivist#jon sims#jon tma#jonathan sims fanart#tma jon#jonathan sims art#artists on tumblr

hey leader!!!
#persona 3#p3 fanart#makoto yuki#minato arisato#junpei yori#yukari takeba#i think their trio dynamic is the most overlook in any game#we talk about makoto in relation to anyone else but i always find it fascinating how#despite being the bro character. junpei initially resents makoto and actively has to work towards understanding him#as opposed to other bro characters who immediately love the protagonist#and i love how yukari learns to open up to him even through her own trust issues AND his aloof general attitude#to the point she behaves how she does in the answer (iykyk)#which is in my opinion (and like no one elses lol) one of the most compelling characterizations in a female character in persona#ok rants over. i just love these guys and i think they are sadly underappreciated#art#fanart#spin draws

I needed to do a Link's Awakening animatic or I would explode, it's been for too many months in my head, and after two days glued to my ipad I finally finished this muhehe.
I wanted to use Strawberry Blonde by Mitsky but ugghhh I couldn't think of how to draw it, BUT, I discovered this song like a month ago and couldn't stop thinking about them TAT.
So yeah instead of chapter 2 I give you this wonky ahh animatic that made me cry in various ways instead. HOPE YOU LIKE IT :·3!!!!💖
It's my first time doing a long video with a few gifs and not just a small animation so yeah, expect it to be funny looking XDKJASHK!
#every time I see it there's more mistakes omg XKDJSAHKAJH#but it was really fun doing this ngl#even tho the result isn't probably the best#some of the drawings came out... ñegh¿#not hideous let's say XDKSAJ#but it's nice seeing my thoughts on a video with music muhehe#it was something I always wanted to do#also link's awakening is my second favourite game so the worms in my brain were having the time of their lifes#this is my little treat for finishing and passing all exams from the first semester >:·)#I think I've never been more focused on anything than this video oof#I've literally spent 8+ hours on procreate nonstop XDKJSAHKHK#my art#linked universe#linkeduniverse#lu fanart#lu legend#linked universe legend#legend of zelda#the legend of zelda#loz#loz fanart#links awakening#lu marin#how do I tag this AAAAUUUGGGHH#should I post this on youtube? how does that work like?

one of the first sketches I did for the au finally got from the not-so-lined stage
I just wanted to draw Siffrin and Seafoam mirroring each other :)
#fanart#my art#isat#in stars and time#isat spoilers#isat siffrin#isat loop#two hats spoilers#seafoam#The Start and the Epilogue#isat au#isat fanart#siffrin#loop#I was struggling with background and then remembered the 'concept' thing I did and was like I CAN ACTUALLY USE THAT AS A PLACE#and now that's a place#and they'll meet at that place probably#and meet A LOT but that's just a base for now#also I hate that I made Seaf's design so complicated at that stage#but it does get more complicated it doesn't start this way#and in a way that's even an *alternative* design too#but that's still up to debate at how it fits better#flowers stay either way I love them#also as a little detail I was immediately like “Siffrin and Loop in this au are basically that specific Two Hats ending dialogue”#aka they're chill as hell at least that's what I read while playing but who knows#I'm still figuring out how do I want to actually write them and stuff#when I find the specific vibe I can work with it#I did figure out like 2-3 of them now I just need to focus and actually do stuff.... all of the stuff work. study. this.#I hate focusing bc anxiety just goes WOOP and I'm dead from thinking stuff oof#but this thing is so interesting to work with
