#i made this in the middle of an artblock

[junebuggeryy]

reactivating my alice in wonderland phase in order to resurrect an old oc ✌️

[gingaswag]

i neeed to redesign Uriah I highkey despise that outfit I gave him lol

[navyii-daisy]

I made this in the middle of my artblock be h appy

[laritamiauu]

Okay so I've been busy af but I've been sketching some designs and y'all shall decide who will I draw next

Well I have drawn some of these before I haven't like properly designed them or thought them out very well

Just Ares and Aphrodite but those designs were made in the middle of a lil artblock so they're so ass😭

[savbelly]

@messymoonmad YOUR ANTINOUS X EURYMACHUS IS AMAZING ✨

when I hear you like fanchild,It give me motivation to draw after artblock because I like to make fanchild of cp I like

Here she is

When I made her,the only thing I think about is:"The women with black skin and red hair will verry hot!"

Her personal is bad,like both her parents but more clever and cunning

If there was a god interested in her that would be Ares

Her gender, instead of a limitation, becomes an advantage under that tongue

Maybe a middle child:D?One child always ignores her toxic parents

I have some more idea for her but maybe I will draw it later(not really sure hehe)

And hope you like it

(Can I have your permission to post it in other social media)

Anyway her name mean "To be well pleased, to be satisfied"

[arinavah]

(sorry if someone has asked this before) when did you start drawing? :3

(warning: after reading your question I felt nostalgic and accidentally made a long-ass post about my whole art journey) As every kid I’ve been drawing from the very childhood, but everything became more serious when I started to attend local art classes in 2006 when I was 10y.o. I’ve been attending them for 7 years and here are drawings from the middle of that period when I was ~14y.o.

After graduation in 2013 I drew this and that occasionally but nothing serious, just doodling in sketchbooks during boring classes.

Around 2016 something happened with me: I discovered a lot of new art creators and bloggers, they had a huuuge influence on me, so after ~3 years of kinda artblock I finally felt a desire to create and started drawing like crazy. I could fill a whole sketchbook within a month, and is wasn’t just mindless doodling, I put effort in each page, imitating those art bloggers with pretty sketchbooks.

Then I started to learn how to draw digitally and it took me months to find normal brush and make something bearable.

And then around 2017-2018 I created my first art blog, in 2019 I started making merch and then in 2021 I quit my job and became self employed artist!

my first (2019) vs last (2023) artist alley

Soooooo it’s been 18 years!

Biomáquina AU

(do not ship my character)

(Edit: sorry, I forgot to add the colorless ver. too)

Probably going to redesign, I didn't have a clear idea of how I wanted them to look like when I made this.

So basically, I had an idea one day for an artwork about Sun in a big dark room like lab with computers, science stuff... and plushies, toys, crayons, childlike drawings everywhere and in the middle of the room Sun was sitting there with cables conected to his head and going so high to the ceiling they desapeared in the dark.

Vague recreation of the idea (I used it as a warm up because artblock)

And I was like, man what a cool idea.

...

what if it had lore?

And I made the story in two days and forgot about it.

I made THE STORY in two days, the concept art took me several and when it was finished I went 'OH FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT MOON' so I added him to the concept art... and to the story, which didn't change much but helped.

So the story lore whatever frankly idk:

Retrofuturistic world where Fazbear Entertainment is making experiments in animatronics with a sustance that makes inorganic components organic. Basically making the animatronics far more alive than they could ever have been (literally alive, like in a messed up way). Biological machines, for example: in the concept of Sun/Moon those teeth and eyes are pretty much real...

This would be called Biotecnologic, which is illegal to practice without a licence and state permision, and only for human benefit (prostetics for disable people for exsample). Fazbear Entertainment had to drop the project right the moment biotecnologi went illegal or they were going to jail. Which means now there are abandonet facilitys with a ton of disconected rotten animatronics... Except for one that turned back on for some reason...

Some time later, this idiot named Fern (selfinsert because idk how to do y/n so I toke my selfinsert and made a few changes, same name) who illegaly exited the city to illegaly dumspter dive in trash the goverment trows out of the city and into the nature outside (which prevents the world from healing right because they are dumb), went a little fared than they usually go and ended up finding the abandonet facilitys of Fazbear Entertainment. This idiot said 'haha cool :D' and went right inside. And that's how they met Sun (and Moon) who has amnesia and doesn't know why the place is empty or why this new person who knows nothing about is stealing lab equipament while intensely staring at him.

They got to be friends and started investigating the place trying to find out what happened in there before the project got canceled.

And a lot more but my brain is a little fried right now and it took me some effort to write this.

Feel free to ask me about this AU (I'll do my best to give a comprehensible answer).

✐ Always An Artist, Never The Muse

Scaramouche/Wanderer x Fem!reader

xi. covet

The last time you held a pencil was a couple of months ago, and it was used for shading your answers in exam.

You prepared yourself mentally before going here, yet you really cannot run away for too long.

You thought that messaging Mona would atleast ease your nerves, but it's no use, you're still overwhelmed. Being inside an art studio where you're surrounded by different types and brands of mediums is surely taking a toll on your mind.

You're tempted to pick up something, whatever it is, anything could be used to create strokes and form a shape.

But you can't. The materials not being yours is one thing, but the fact that it might cause you to actually give up on art. Because yes, you still have hope, you are still wishing for that talent to magically come back to you, just not yet.

You remember the times of your frustration. A blank paper awaits in front of you to be filled with yet another masterpiece. With a flick of your wrist, you guided your pencil to leave an ink behind. You did it a few more times, but it's not turning out good.

Erase, draw, erase and draw.

The lines ain't making sense, the paper is almost ripped due to the continuous erasing. You're beginning to lose your patience, the image in your head is turning blurry. The more you try to correct the mistake, the worse they get. It is the only thing you're capable of doing, so you have to finish it. You cannot fail.

Silly you thought it was just an artblock, and you told yourself that you cannot have that now. You have to fight it. You have to create something. You did not allow yourself to rest until you manage to draw something pretty.

You tried, tried and tried again and again. Until your hand stopped moving and your creativity dried up.

You remember how your wrists, fingers, and inside your head feels like there's something so itchy internally that you cannot soothe.

"What are you doing?"

You were surprised that you almost let out a gasp. You looked over to the door to see Scaramouche looking at you with a raised eyebrow. "I suggest not to steal anything, I have all of my materials memorized."

The gasp now left your mouth. "Are you accusing me of thievery?!"

He simply shrugged, and when he put down something that's when you noticed he's holding a tray, with food in it.

"Wow, I didn't expect you're the type to give food to your guests."

"Yeah, right? Shocking. Especially to you? I'm too kind." He rolled his eyes at you. "Quick. Eat now so we can start."

"Oh wait, you mean... you'll paint me eating?"

"You just confirmed my assumption of you. You're pretty stupid." He remained indifferent while you glare at him. "I told you I'm too kind, didn't I? I'm letting you eat before making you stay still."

'Oh yes, of course of course...' you muttered irritably under your breath as you walked towards the table where he placed the tray. He managed to hear them, even heard his name being cursed—a predictable response from you, really.

Nonetheless, you're thankful. Although you aren't on good terms(but not really much on bad terms either) with each other, he still prepared something for you. He can choose not to, but he did. Not to mention, you are indeed hungry right now.

You look at the plate and it's a... jelly? Transparent too, but you can't make out what's inside. The most dominant color is light brown, and theres some orange, yellow, white— maybe it's a gelatin cake? You've only seen those in videos, where they decorate floral designs and whatnots inside the gelatin. This jelly is not as pretty, though.

You took the spoon he prepared and sliced a small piece, and the texture inside interests you. The spoon glides easily unto it yet at the middle part it gets a little hard— and inside the brown part is white. You took a closer look by bringing the spoon close to your face, the closeness made the scent of it go through your nostrils.

By the look of it, it seems like a— wait... is that...

"Is this meat??? Inside a jelly?!" You were appalled. Is this a joke? Is this a prank? Your eyes are wide open as you looked at him, stunned.

"What?" He clicked his tongue as he shook his head. "That's a traditional snezhnayan dish, kholodets. How rude of you to react that way."

Wait, what? "Oh." You calm yourself. Right, you're in a different country, their cuisine is different from your homeland. Now you feel bad from reacting like that, it's no different from his earlier statements about blind people, you think.

Not wanting to stoop down his level, you fixed your composure and sat straight. "Right, sorry." you say with seemingly matured tone, putting the spoon down.

"I even chose carefully what to serve you, especially after I heard from Caps that you're a picky eater." He said, shaking his head and clicking his tongue again repeatedly. He looked so disappointed, too.

You may dislike him, that's true, but you're a person with morals. You don't like upsetting people unless you're purposely doing so.

So took the spoon again in your hand, the little piece still in the scoop, then you brought it into your mouth.

Your eyebrows contort in disgust as you taste the unfamiliar food. Boiled meat with meaty jelly, complex seasoning and unusual flavor— you don't understand. The jelly... is it supposed to be the broth? It doesn't go well, in your opinion. Disturbing, for you.

Amidst your evaluation of the taste, your ears caught on a quiet chuckle.

You turn your head, only to see Scaramouche looking down at you as if belittling you.

"So it's true," he starts, "for foreigners, kholodets is unappetizing at first glance. I really thought you wouldn't give it a taste, but you did. How surprising."

The face you make is that of someone who just got betrayed. He doesn't even look like a snezhnayan himself! You forced to swallow the bits in your mouth, "You..!"

The remaining chance for your relation with him to be amended is completely gone now. How dare he? You regret playing nice with him. Men are truly atrocious beings. How can Capitano even tolerate this guy?

You're utterly shock. And how did the fucker react now? Giggling, like an ass. He looks too amused, in fact.

While he's in a laughing state, you took the time to drink water.

"Glad to give you fun. Didn't know you're so childish."

He shrugged, unaffected. "You won't eat anymore?"

His sarcastic smile is annoying you. You really shouldn't had agreed to this. "It was so delicious Im already full at first bite. Thank you very much."

You watch him take a round brush and sit sit on the stool with the canvas im front of him. He looked at you, "Come on." he said, pointing at the other stool.

You rolled your eyes before obeying. "Pose?"

"Arms up."

"Fuck you."

He chuckled again and you're beginning to dislike the sound of it. "Try Mona Lisa's."

You crossed your legs elegantly and straighten your back. You faced left a little, mimicked her hands in your memories, and... should you smile too?

"Is Da Vinci your fave artist?"

...Fuck.

You want to slap your mouth at this very moment. That was out of instinct, you guess. You like asking artists you meet their favorite historical artist— well, before.

No, it's alright. Knowing Da Vinci is a basic knowledge, even non-artists knows that. You shouldn't think too much.

"What if I say it's Picasso?"

You don't know how to react to his answer. Would it be obvious that you're an (ex) artist if you react as if you know?

You remember how confused Itto was when he learned that not many artists like Picasso. He's dumb though... but still!

Should you act confused too? Should you act knowledgeable?

You glanced at his artworks on the wall with your peripheral vision, who could he be inspired of? However, when you looked at him again, he's paying attention to his canvas.

Maybe he doesn't care. Good, good. Stay that way.

Wait... His hand is moving. He started now, yet he hasn't told you to smile yet, should your expression remain fierce?

Okay, now you're nervous again. Does your face look asymmetrical? Can he see the texture of your face at this distance? The corner of your eyes do not have gound, right? You want to lick your lips but you're not sure if you should move. It's not chapped, right? You only applied light make up, it's not too much, right?

"Relax." You heard him say. It felt like you were allowed to breathe again.

Right, right. Relax. This is another one of your reasons why tou dislike being a muse, you feel awkward! What are you so nervous of, anyway? This man, asshole one at that?

He doesn't deserve your kindness anyway. You may make funny faces to tick him off, you couldn't care less.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes. You don't know how much time passed but you guess the painting is going smoothly. It doesn't seem like he's struggling nor does he look stressed.

But what matter is... how long is this going to take?!

You, personally, it takes so much time to finish a painting. Hell— you don't think you were able to finish a piece in just one day.

"Can't you just take a picture of me?"

Not being able to move too much is annoying for most people, you're not an exception. You're an impatient person, too. And you're still on a stool, too!

One word, tiring.

"That defeats the purpose."

Your eyes narrowed and your lips curled inwards. "Everything has evolved, we're in modern world."

"Besyashchaya devushka." You didn't understand what he muttered under his breath. "Shut up and stay still, fix your expression."

There's no point in convincing him, you realize.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes. Being in this room is surely annoying. The emotions you've been trying to reject ever since you step foot in here is resurfacing much stronger now. Especially now that you have nothing to distract yourself and there's an artist painting in front of you.

You miss it— holding a brush, the feeling of relaxation when the process is going well, the challenge of drawing the reference...

You miss all of it. You want to paint again.

"Fix your expression."

You were taken aback of his words. He noticed the slightest change, he must be really paying attention. Artists are truly amazing, aren't they?

Scaramouche. That's his name, right?

He's rich, he can buy as many materials a he like. Based on this studio; he can sculpt, paint, draw with charcoals, color with different types of mediums.

This could've been your life too if you didn't stop drawing, you think. But no. He's much more capable and skillful.

Come to think of it, you never even hang your works on the walls of your house. You don't even have many finished artworks, and the finished ones aren't that beautiful.

You heard him click his tongue. "I told you to fix your expression, don't I? If you're eager for this to be done as soon as possible, then do as I say."

"When did you began to draw?"

"None of your business." He glared at you, "Look, if you have time to kill, waste is somewhere else. Don't start a chitchat with me, I don't have all day."

Wow. Now he's the one annoyed, when he was the one who wasted time earlier by making you eat something he know you wouldn't like? He's funny.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes. After a while, it was done. You checked the time and it has only been two hours and a couple of minutes that passed ever since he started.

That was fast.

"Can I see it?" When he nodded, you immediately approached the painting.

Honestly, you were expecting it to be a little messy in style with some defined parts since it was just done in two hours. But the painting is a perfect copy of you, as if he took a picture of you. The only blurred part is the background, and your entire image is refined. He caught everything in perfect precision.

Is this even humanly possible? Two hours is too short for this.

You take back what you thought earlier. This could've been your life too? You wanted to laugh at yourself. Compared to him, your level is way too low— even if it's the you from before.

I illustrated 100 ASoIaF Characters

" A Song of Ice and Fire" is a series that has become rather (in)famous for its depictions of violence, and abundance of s3x scenes .and while criticism can definitely be made for these, it's important that we dont end up overlooking the important life lessons, nor end up with wrong takeaways from the story.

you see, at its very heart , i believe ASOIAF is a story of the human experience, as well as a commentary about the twisted ways of this world ( set within a fantasy backdrop). being caught in the middle of loyalties, ambition, Reputation, vengeance, culture, faith, and familial acceptance . its themes like this along with complex and relatable characters that youll pity and root for in one scene, only for you to be appalled by and flinch at in the next scene, is what i find so appealing in this series.

Spectacle, Political Intrigue and Character Drama (all present in the story too btw) aside , its a story that really makes you think ,reflect , and learn upon. and i love it for that!

so today , i just wanna show my appreciation to arguably the best aspect of this series: The Characters . for over a year now, i have made fanart for 100 characters from the series. some are major pov characters. some iterally appear for only 1 chapter. but all help bring so much depth and color to this story!

special thanks to:

@nobodysuspectsthebutterfly . your blog has been such a HUGE in help giving me inspiration and references for design and clothing . i also appreciate you reblogging art from fellow asoiaf artist to help give them a boost

@amuelia , i really love your design for Areo, and it was actually the basis for art for him! its only fitting that i give you credit

@whoknowsnugget . i was having a haaaard time coming up a pose for Asha when i first designed her, it wasnt until i saw your own fanart for her ( the one with her arms crossed while holding axes) that i finally found a fitting pose for her. because it was such a huge help, i figured i should give you credit as well!

@buildoblivionthenwewilltalk for being with the journey since last year!

and @squidprinceofwinterfell too, who is my other fellow asoiaf pal from tumblr!

..............................................................................................................................

i really hope yall like this one! i know this may really come off as unexpected, but ive actually liked asoiaf since 2018! ( with a massive revival of interest starting late 2022). as for THAT show, i have yet to watch an actual full episode yet hehe.

as for my account, let this be considered my proper comeback after months of inactivity. this project of mine played a large chunk for my absence, because i frequently get artblock coming up with a new post for every new character i make.

[wicked-by-nature--au]

I'm having a bit of artblock rn, but I thought I could give you guys some Infodumping.

What kind of relationship did Gunmar have with Orlagk?

Once Gunmar was banished from his village, he had to find a new community and place to live. He didn't have much luck because the word about the misdeed he did spread quickly, so no one wanted to take him in.

Exhausted and famished, he just wandered around until he stumbled across some troop of Gumm-Gumms and Orlagk in the woods. Orlagk threatened him, and in his best attempts, Gunmar defended himself, giving Orlagk the scar on the left side of his face. This one;

Orlagk sees the potential in the youngling's defiance, so he recruits him, taking the whelp under his wing. Joining the Gumm-Gumms was a massive change for Gunmar, to go from a peaceful community to a war-centric tribe. It was strange and scary, but at the same time, it felt so right.

But still being a child, Gunmar craved for a some sort of parental figure, and Orlagk became like a "person of comfort" for him. He saw him as a "new dad," seeking help and guidance from him. He idolized him and felt like he meant something to someone again.

But once Orlagk had Skarlagk, Gunmar felt betrayed and replaced. Feeling like he was not something special to Orlagk anymore.

The feeling of being alone once again was the reason why he made Bular. Orlagk caught Gunmar in the middle of carving a piece of himself, which he got scolded for because he was still relatively young (barely out of teens), but Orlagk decided to help him out a little, since he saw that he was struggling (Gunmar had fumbled a bit by carving a little too deep, which left a pretty nasty "hole" on his side).

And as the time passes by, "the voice" keeps telling Gunmar that he is just a harnessed weapon of war for Orlagk and that he means nothing more than that to him. Which then Gunmar becomes spiteful against Orlagk, seeking to revoke the power from him, thinking that he would rule better than he ever could.

Overall, Orlagk really trusted Gunmar, as did Gunmar him at first, but that just was not how things were meant to be.

[occasionally-victor]

this one is like ultra rushed, i did it right before a flight to another city (im already back) and im still in a bit of a artblock so yeah

mer au !jaiden + changed !bobby a bit

!jaiden is a harpy (blue jay)

she was actually the one who found !bobby - he was passed out on some rocks and !jaiden happened to fly right by, and she basically decided to take care of him "until his parents find him" (because surely a mer kid is being seeked for right now?). A week passed, !jaiden stole some old raft (because she basically had to live there for a while now, and rocks suck for that, so raft and and a tent will do) and there was still no sight of anyone looking for !bobby (apparently a kid has some amnesia as well, he seems to not remember anything before waking up here). By the time another week passed, !jaiden was already kinda thinking about how to maybe set up a more permanent station here (she's already kinda used to sea and she's fully getting along with a kid, so reasons are here...).

until! one day she does see someone! and it was a mer! basically, in mer settlement (i really need to give it a name) by that time several more dragon mer kids were found. less mer start to go out for search, and the one who do need to go farther because well everything closer is already fully checked. !roier was one of those and that day decided to go out very far away from a city (like, basically other side of sea far away. just in case.). he did eventually found a raft, were apparently another dragon mer kid lived (and also a harpy, who took care of him)

uh basically that's how !ro and !jai met for the first time. they went on to become friends and eventually become a full on co-parents to !bobby. !ro helped !jaiden move a bit closer to mer settlement, and now she lives in basically a floating home made of basically scarps in a middle of a sea (i drew it there, im not explaining how tree ended up there. the blue lantern there is for when storm hits, it would put a protection bubble so the house would be fine). !bobby mostly lives with !jaiden, but often goes to city; !roier doesn't live with the other two, but he goes there almost every day.

so, that bracelet on !jaiden's leg. Time for another mer lore drop: mer, that considered "family" to eachother (basically that are really close to eachother, not necessarily an actual family) can basically feel where the other one. It's more of a subconscious thing, tho mer can "send" signals for "family" to catch in case of something. so, i did established before that mer have generally good relationship with land people. basically, it became a tradition to give to a very close people, who are not mer, a little trinket (usually a wearable), that basically works the same way (and both ways). It's normal for a mer to have atleast a specially enchanted stone prepared for it, if not the trinket itself. ! jaiden's bracelet contains the stones of both !roier and !bobby (they are not actually seen - usually those stones are hidden inside of trinket)

[brights-place]

hi! :>

i don't know if your doing requests for the boondocks? if you aren't anymore you can delete this i won't mind :3

could i have riley and huey (both platonic) with a sister! the sister is the middle child and is a mix of both riley and huey personality wise! she can be calm and reserved like huey but at times she can snap and be loud and violent like riley

and they happen to have a total sweet tooth for cakes and sweets and when she eats them she gets really happy >_<

i thought that would be a nice request

again if your not doing requests for the boondocks or are uncomfy wit this request you can just delete it!

have a wonderful rest of your day!!!

[Boondocks] Huey & Riley + Sister! Reader

Warnings: None

A/N: Hope you like this sorry that it's short I've been experiencing artblock and I've been feeling unwell with things please give me some time Im just glad you all l9ove my writing so much

Summary: Riley and Huey with a sister! who's the middle child and is a mix of both riley and huey personality. she can be calm and reserved like huey but at times she can snap and be loud and violent like riley

- Huey and Riley they cause chaos for grandpa but you, the young sweet grandbaby of his the one thats calm and reserved that wouldn't even hurt a fly..

- Cue you helping Riley plan on how to jump a guy down the street who decided to fuck with Riley and his 'Crew' - As the middle child grandpa didn't really think you were all that bad, but your two brothers knew that you were a combination of both their personalities loud, and vi9olent like Riley when needed to be or Reserved and calm like Huey. - That's what made you unpredictable to those around you and also making you a great weapon for Huey and Riley

- You’re the wild card of the Freeman household. Huey’s brain. Riley’s boldness. Your unpredictability - One minute you’re meditating on the porch with Huey, the next you’re cracking your knuckles asking Riley if he wants backup to “politely rearrange” some dude’s face.

- People never know if they’re about to meet “calm and collected you” or “cuss-you-out-while-holding-a-slice-of-cake you.” That’s why no one ever wants to mess with you especially when you’re quiet| - That's the most dangerous time

- Your brothers both know that your true weakness is sugar. You light up like a kid on Christmas when you see cupcakes, donuts, or anything frosted. - Riley once tried to tease you about it, but then saw how genuinely happy you looked eating a strawberry shortcake and got weirdly soft. Now whenever he messes up or feels guilty, he just drops a wrapped dessert on your bed like, “Don’t read into it or whatever… damn.” - Huey doesn’t get it, but he respects it. He’ll silently slide you a printout of some intricate macaron recipe and walk away like he’s not encouraging you to chase joy.

- Riley loves having you as backup because you’re unpredictable, and people don’t take you seriously at first. Big mistake. HUGE - Huey, on the other hand, strategically deploys you like some kind of secret weapon. “We need someone to go in, blend in, and keep their cool until it’s time to strike.” That’s always your cue.

- When the house is in chaos (Riley doing hoodrat things, Huey building a bomb in the kitchen), you’re in the middle of it all with a slice of cake like it’s the most normal day ever. - If you’re having a bad day, Grandpa might catch you with a spoon and a frosting tub. No words. Just vibes and sugar.

- Your bedroom smells like vanilla candles and mischief. A tiny box of knives under the bed. Cake-themed plushies on the pillow. - Riley taught you how to throw a punch. You taught him how to cut strawberries into heart shapes. He’ll never admit it, but he lowkey brags about it to his crew - Huey is the only one who notices when you go quiet from something bothering you. He’ll make you tea and sit with you silently until you feel like talking or until he smells brownies and knows you’re okay again.

- When Riley feels bad for doing anything to cause you trouble especially since your his older sister and only one he’d awkwardly hand you a cake or sweet he got and walk away cussing you out but he knows how your smiling at him

- Huey would hand you new baking recipes for fun. While he’s planning something in the kitchen and monologuing he stops what he’s entirely doing thanking you when you place the sweet infront of him and he eats it while monologuing once more

- Anyways chaos siblings yayyy

[zedd364]

happy new year!

here's a collection of trad art I never got to post/forgot to post/was too embarrassed to post ft. my silly little ramblings 😆

(note: artist is VERY embarrassed to post these, but, he has to anyway, for the sake of it 🤫🧏‍♂️)

this is Collection 2, consists of old oc art (coupled with lore ramblings), and an assortment of more doodles and attempts, along with concepts

this is Zedd

no, not the same guy I use as my purple-themed oc/persona online, he's actually red-themed, and also, has square eyes

(oh boy, the lore is definitely gonna get convoluted later down the line, but, moving on 💀)

ahh, now this big handsome guy right here

his name is Braun >:)

he's my favorite big buff devil oc that I made

him and Zedd are really close

as you can see, he is the scrunkly blorbo

I've yet to draw an amount of him 😔💖✨

this was me during artblock 💀

dawg, I was literally tweakin, fuckin, I literally could not draw shit 🗿

first and second attempts of drawing Jason

oh these have already been posted on my blog before, but, I still wanted to include them in this collection

besides, this time, I had properly edited them with a color filter >:)

I didn't want to include this, but GAUAHAHSJSK, HE LOOKED SO STUPID SILLY AND FUNNY 😭😭😭

(I was trying to practice when I made this thing, I do loose attempts on a different page whenever I'm working on a trad piece, cuz it helps plan my process and lessen erasures 🤫🧏‍♂️)

so, The Noise Update huh? pretty cool stuff >:)

on a side note, wish Tumblr had a yellow text option 🤔

concept I had in mind

imagine how badass it would be if you and Dark were able to fuse and stuff 👀✨

(definitely not foreshadowing my future plans once I finally start working on my concepts 😆)

another concept I had in mind, back in the middle of the year when I became a fan

imagine a variant of Dark, with red eyes instead of blue, and a bad ending

if he never got to overcome his insecurity

if he really believed he was what people say he is

IT'S THE FANCY MAN HIMSELF 🗣️🔥💥✨

I could draw him better though, but, that's for something later down the line 🤫🧏‍♂️

I still really love Brad's silly little fancy stickfigure game >:)💖✨

more sadge 😔

me and my two personalities on the daily

see guys? I told you they were different 🤭

okay but fr though, there are two Zedds in my silly little fictional universe, they both represent me in certain ways and my personality

while they look exactly the same, key details to tell them apart is:

Red Zedd has square eyes, and sharper hair

Purp Zedd has semi-circle ones, and he also has eye wrinkles all the time

the reason there's two of them is because:

one has pre-fixed oc lore already

and the other was made as a self-insert vessel for me

"why couldn't you have just made them look more different from one another, and change the other one's name?" because I don't want to, and frankly, the convolution and confusion is kind of silly 😤✨

I've still yet to draw the both of them more 👁️👁️

Jason doodles/attempts

I like him a lot, even though he's gonna force me to learn anatomy properly soon, just for his sake 😆

some Bob practices

gosh, the second one, he looks like a professor 😭💀

aaand, that's about it 😳

Could I ask for 9 and 20 for the Artist Ask Game?👀

9. What's the longest you've ever suffered from artblock?

Ohhhh... hmmm... that's hard... I feel like, mmm, when I get art block, it's not so much that I can't draw (or write) at all, it's more so that I can't work on the same thing anymore, even if I technically want to and/or know I should. I've never really had a time where I just couldn't draw for days on end. But I've had many days where I could only draw one thing and nothing else for days on end. Or where I couldn't even bear to open up Ren'Py even though I knew I should. I had a few times like this during production. After finishing Arc 4 I did Spooktober and then after that had a major game dev block for a few months where I barely got started on Arc 5. Then after Arc 5.2 an even worse one. Which is why I made OC instead. Then I feel like I've been in the middle of a major block since releasing the finale I'll be honest. There have been many days, weeks, months, where I've only been able to draw stuff that brings me intense self-indugent happiness as you've probably noticed LOL and I just feel unable to draw anything else. Though I've had spurts of inspiration. When I first started working on the remaster was one of them, suddenly filled with motivation, then I hit another huge slump and I've been barely able to touch it. Then I started BT and became filled with inspiration again. But even with that I still have slumps where I just can't bring myself to draw. And I still find it hard to draw anything that's not something I'm incredibly compelled to draw. I guess I don't know if that's art block or not but it feels like it as that's not how I felt during most of production.

20. What motivates/inspires you artistically? (topics, emotions, etc)

Genzy I mean I kid but it's true in a way LOL harking back to the previous question and just being completely mentally blocked to work on anything that doesn't deeply resonate inside of me. But more seriously, I would say anything that tugs fiercely on my heart. Very deep emotions that touch me to the core. Sometimes I feel like so many things in life, stories, experiences, just leave me numb and cold. I need things that are very intense to make myself feel alive. Sometimes that is thoughts of love. Especially yearning. Love with pain. The longer and more painful it is the better LOL Also just tragic love in general. Whether fulfilled or unfulfilled. I also am really moved by tragic things in general. Stuff that makes my heart hurt so bad it feels real. This is also why I like horror but not in the jumpscare kinda way but more in the intense emotions it brings out in characters. The way they react to things. The drop you feel in your gut when the world comes crashing down. The tragedy that horror can create. I guess. I don't know gjfjdjd I feel like I seek out intense emotions in stories the way I seek out intense flavors and intense sensations and intense brain-go-buzz music. Because I want to feel things that will take me away from life and reality.

@northerlyy, I found your following comment really quite fascinating; so much so that I wanted to put a response in another following post- (and also because it’s difficult to write long comments lol)

(sorry for taking so long TwT)

——————

(Northerlyy’s comment for reference):

“This is really good advice for artblock, especially for digital artists! Even with pencil, drawing traditionally puts you in a different headspace than digital art like explained in the post. Pen art is genuinely really fun, and it forces you to worry less about product and focus more on just putting shit down and feeling the way you're making the pen move on the paper. Even just sketching traditionally and then doing the rest digitally can help break the funk of art block for some people. For people who draw exclusively digitally, simply creating finished art completely traditionally could be really helpful.

I mostly do digital art now, but I do almost all of my sketches on paper and it keeps me interested in what I'm drawing. However, traditional projects, especially in less-mainstream medias like glass prints, dip pens, etc., have been some of my favorite projects I've ever done. When you have art block, easier is not always better, and something that's challenging enough to make you think but also simple enough that you can get into the rhythm of it is really good for destroying the monotony of one art media and reigniting the urge to draw. If you like nature, getting out can also help too, because there's nothing that makes me want to draw literally anything more than rediscovering the beauty of the world.”

RESPONSE:

Indeed! Yep, pen art is great, lol. And oh, most definitely- taking a tradicional sketch and finishing it digitally is also quite helpful! This also reminds me of something similar that I do sometimes: at least for me, colouring traditionally takes a lot of motivation due to the time and effort it takes- leading to it being one of the main reasons why I don’t have many full colour traditional illustrations… 

Mainly because when adding colour to your drawing, it can take at least triple the time that it took you to complete both the sketch and the lineart. Plus, it can even be tedious; colour can either gloriously complete or absolutely destroy the drawing. What if you realise that the character doesn’t look good with the background once you finish? What about shading? What if a pigment turns out darker than you expected? (I always have to make a few mock test drawings…)

And if you are using watercolour and forgot to use waterproof ink for lineart… oh boy.

So! Sometimes I just don’t have the time or patience to go through with this and can resort to simply taking a picture of a traditional sketch and colouring it in digitally. It saves time for stuff like quick references.

And definitely, I agree on that last part- when you finish a full traditional illustration that was quite time consuming and complex, it feels quite neat! It feels like victory. When having gone through all those hours of hard work concentration, I can’t help but stare at what I made and think; damn, I did it? HELL YEAH I DID IT!!!

Even if sometimes the drawing may not come out like I wanted, i  still am happy knowing that I can push myself to create such things.

Practice = Progress, not perfection!

Heh, quite true- dip pens are epic. I worked with those a while ago and the whole process is really satisfying. (And ooh, you’ve done glass prints too? Man, I bet they are glorious…)

Hmm, that last part is particularly good advice… I fully agree, there’s something about nature that can inspire like no other thing, or at least provide a calming space to think of ideas. I never feel more at peace than in the middle of a forest, hearing the soft rustling of the leaves above.

Windy, rocky coasts are nice, too.
