Not Rhack Wednesdays! On Thursday [18] - Oh Crap What Do You Mean It Is Friday Edition

Not that there’s anything wrong with Rhack, but variety is the spice of life!

First order of business: @lackpassion who did the splash images now has a Patreon and an Etsy freshly restocked with slasher pride.

Moreteamore posted a fantastic one-shot surfer AU about Rhys and Troy which I've been showing around... but it needs showed around more, so here's a link (sexy, but SFW).

It looks like we have some Twins AU goodness coming up from @huskeddevotee . Click for a preview including illustrations!

Has @darkmagicdrag0n been up to good? Why yes! So much good! See Eris, Eridian Leda [SO COOL], and aww.

Happy Birthday to @raidbossmadi who brought us more Familiar Path, Different Place & more Edge of Chaos for the occasion. Oh Malcom no! (Oh Malcom yes?)

@monday-headache has so much cool stuff going on like this Scarleona ficlet and Strays of the Pack on Ao3.

And have you been watching Finding Ava by @frankenjoly on Ao3? I have it on good authority that it's adorable and also Tyreen showed up recently.

And in conclusion, that weirdo who writes Several Saturnine Lunchtimes At Dr. Black's updated and posted some other WTF. [NSFW]

Whew! I knew it was late this week, but hopefully it was worth it!

If you’d like your fic featured on Not Rhack Wednesdays On Thursday, the only requirement is that it not be Rhack (well, and you have to ask).  Calypso Twins angst is not required, but a plus.  Give me a jingle or @ me or whatever works for you. Hopefully, next weekend I will remember when it's Thursday!

So, about three-ish days ago I told myself I would do a quick sketch of Sadiya, my BL3 OC, since I didn’t like the first drawing. Quick as in, maybe a few hours. Whoops.

Anyway, I actually like this. I tried to add detail to the hair but it just looked weird and veiny. I’ll try again on a different piece.

I changed her design a bit, but it still embodies the ‘rich cat mean girl’ vibe. It isn’t exactly how I want to be able to draw, but at least it’s getting better. My issue right now is with colors, I think. Sketching out actual body+anatomy is something can be done with enough time and patience, but coloring and details is harder for me, personally. I used the airbrush tool to add some blush and a slight darkness for a bit of depth, but looking at how other people just knock it out of the park with texture and color tells me there is a lot more work to put in and endless room to improve. I didn’t try that much with this because it was just supposed to be a quick piece, but I want to get out of the cartoony style and develop something more life-like and realistic. 

This might be too specific, but the kind of style I want to develop is the sort of Percy Jackson-fanart style? The Rick Riordan fandom has this certain style that I admire and enjoy a lot. I’m not looking for crazy realism like Leng Jun, but I don’t want all of my work to be very cartoony and animated. If I had time and attention span I’d finally watched the tutorials I have saved in my Watch Later YT playlist. 

Anyway, I’ll be posting this to my BL3 blog, @huskeddevotee​ with some additional stuff about Sadi. She’s new to my oc roster but I love her.
