[theviolettulip]

@alwaysanovice it's ur boys

I was gonna draw Jasper grumpy & Serge cheerful as like a switcheroo but then I ended up with tearful heartbroken Jasoer and isn't he the cutest little bean<3

(Serge's hair looks so bad 💀)

[greenflowerceo]

hii im suuper late to my own week ik (i'll post the rest of the days from time to time, college applications were a pain </3 but i've got most of it down

This piece is a redraw of my very first post ! This has been a wip since the start of the year so my art style unsurprisingly changed a bunch as i tweaked the lines and colors. it's not the best but it's looking as good as it can be!

as for the zine, people are free to draw up pieces for the week up until the end of september and we can compile it all together! it's not really the usual zine format but who knows.. we can maybe try to figure out a way to formally start a more structured zine project for these two

Anyway! I've decided to dedicate my greenflower week posts to my headcanons I've made up for them from the past 4 years.. I figured you guys could take a peek into my brain since I haven't really been good at that unless you catch me in a vc :") there's a buncha hcs and old ass art i never posted finally unearthing under the cut if you wanna take a peek

So, first thing: Body headcanons..

i took super long getting what i want with this waay back when I started posting cause I was still figuring out a lot with my art. i couldn't get in good details/features that would properly differentiate them or make them fun to draw. I wasn't striving to be really innovative with the designs or anything, I just wanted them to feel like characters I like looking at and thinking about

finally, i'm somewhat able to settle on these as of right now! It will most likely update as the time passes and my art changes, but this is what I got!

basically the main idea is that i wanted Lloyd to be bulkier but sharper. grew up fast and has all these edges, but then you get to know him and he's just a big ol dork. Mostly wears loose-fitting clothes that hides his figure, but he's quite built underneath

Brad's a lil taller and pretty lanky. my art style may not be able to show that properly but lloyd can snap him in half <3 he also seems hella chill but that's probably cause he got balls of steel after living through a million ninjago invasions

This thing below is an old outfit concept I have for a project that I've been working on. does not reflect my current headcanons with his physical appearance but i do like his clothes

I think he loves his role as the green ninja, saving the world and such. it came with lots of baggage and reflection but i do promise that he enjoys it for the most part. I think him wearing green is kind of like wearing work clothes so he tends to avoid it on days when he's free to keep from being too ready to jump into ninja mode

i do tend to keep him in green though cause the fandom sure does love their color-coded ninja

anyway .. that's about most of what i've got for this that looks good enough to post, so here's a bunch of other doodles/sketches, both old and new ToT

oh and a quick comic too cause why not

one more: bonus greenflower yuri

thanks for coming to read this far :) there'll be more soon

how to build a chair........... director's cut ∠( ᐛ 」∠)__ this is about to be a very long very self-indulgent post where i just talk about my own writing. i also doodled on all the pages i think it makes the whole thing more fun to go thru. welcome to my ted talk

SIKE before i begin. credit where credit is due, this post was the start of it all. it changed my brain chemistry my jaw was dropped i was in awe i was obsessed and before i even finished it i knew that i would eventually have to make something similar for the commander or else i would be cursed to think about it for the rest of my life. and i Was cursed for like two years every day i would just be like........ is today the day i sit down and draft the commander chair fic of my dreams....... maybe tomorrow......

and then i got accepted as a writer for the gw2 zine ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ the chair idea was actually my backup option in case my first idea didn't pan out, and thank god it didn't, bc this one worked so much better. (still working on my initial idea, just turning it into a full fic! it was wayyy too long to be a zine submission.)

this is the chair i used. i downloaded the assembly instructions and tried out a bunch of different free pdf editors until i found one i liked, which ended up being sedja. if anyone's interested in doing something like this, i recommend printing out the pdf and writing directly on it! it was a lot easier for me to just figure out everything on paper first and then digitalize it after :P here's a picture of my physical copy

okay actually getting into it for real this time !!!!!

1. yeah i could've just erased the ikea logo and left a blank space but then i realized i could turn it into an in-universe joke. and then i ran with it.

2. i ripped this straight from the product description on the website. thanks ikea

3. i'm not sure if anyone went and looked it up, but it's a real item code!

hehe :3c

4. if your commander willingly goes to therapy i'm happy for them but TO ME? you'd have to drag the commander kicking and screaming. it's not that they don't know that something is wrong with them, they know, and they know YOU know. you're just never supposed to talk about it. they don't look at their own psych eval results bc that's none of their business.

5. i normally avoid specifying the commander's race when i write them bc i enjoy the challenge, but for the zine i was assigned to write about a norn commander! as a human main i was uhhhh very ill-equipped. but that just meant i had to study up on my norn lore (•̀ᴗ•́)و i spent hours on the wiki, then went around interviewing norn mains for their opinions, which was great fun :D it all helped me narrow the focus of my piece: joining the war on commander objectification on the side of commander objectification (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡ and no one self-aggrandizes quite like the norn commander!

and to balance that i knew my narrator had to be patronizing as shitttt. they've clearly been following the commander since the beginning and seem to know a lot of intimate details about their life, despite not thinking very highly of them. wonder who that could be :3c

6. i can't stop making references. so the original part number is actually #122620 in the manual but i've changed it here (and on the previous page!) to #082812, as in 08/28/12, the date gw2 was released! no real reason for it, @dalennaugw suggested it for funsies and i liked it. if you're my pal and i show you a wip and you have a cool idea for it, chances are i Will put that shit in. hi dale if you're reading this

7. another thing about me. i loveeee repetition. here the word "over" is repeated four times to match the picture. honestly a lot of the creative process for this piece was just staring at the pages and figuring out how to tie the pictures to the commander in ways that weren't extremely corny or trite. idk why i enjoy writing like this when i could be frolicking in the beautiful prosaic meadows of a word doc instead but. it's like i see a tiny little restrictive box and i'm like OH BOY can't wait to think inside of that thing!!! i like when the format matters just as much as the content and in some cases informs the content. am i making any sense here. well all you need to know is that i'm a virgo and my favorite book is house of leaves

7. aw fuck just realized i wrote 7 twice. whatever i'm not changing it this is 7 part two now. the theme of my piece is glory, what it means to the norn commander, and how far they're willing to go for it.

8. does norn culture place emphasis on seeking individual glory Yes are norn also very community-oriented Also Yes. i think it's common to see norn kids napping together in a big pile, usually after they've worn themselves out playing games outside. it makes sense practically (apes together warm) and socially (pack bonding good) but that's just my hc. growing up i used to share a bed with my cousins all the time so it's normal to me.

a young, naive not-yet-commander, with no real combat experience, has no point of reference to compare a "blaze of glory" to. but the way everyone talks about it, it must be a good thing. a wonderful thing. a reward fit for a life well-fought and a legend hard-earned. so they imagine it must feel like falling asleep surrounded by the people they love, who love them in turn.

9. .........i was playing a lot of ace attorney when i wrote this page. i wish i was joking 👍🏼

10. ohhh shit the truth come OUT this whole chair thing was all a ploy just so i could write about the departing. again.

will i ever stop thinking about her. reply hazy, try again later.

11. out of all the pages, this one has the most emphasis on text placement, like comparing the enlarged picture of the screw to a sword, the numbers counting the screws, and "up up up" being arranged to mimic a wisp of smoke.

i also wanted to lean into the viking/norse mythology influences with my word choice.

12. more nods to norn culture. i didn't know they referred to the six human gods as "spirits of action" until i was doing the research for this piece :O

and the domain of the lost is called a hall of ghosts....... cause valhalla.....

13.

i'm sorry this so funnyyy. SAYS the guy who literally clawed their way back to life for a rematch.

me when i'm in a sore loser competition and my opponent is the COMMANDER!!!

14. arms as in "limbs" and also arms as in "armaments" :•]

15. haha get it because the picture makes it look like there are two mirrored speech bubbles while the text paints two opposing interpretations of the norn commander. one that's selfless and humble versus one that's selfish and vainglorious.

16. and the best part is IT DOESN'T MATTER which one is true bc at the end of the day no matter what their motivation, balthazar is dead by their hand. ofc i'm of the opinion that the most compelling interpretation of the commander is both, simultaneously. contradictions are good for the soul.

17. i could've name-dropped kas, the only person present that would do something like that, but i felt it was better to leave it ambiguous.

18. low-hanging fruit. the metaphor was so obvious here but i had to do it. for the culture

19. the alternate title for this piece was "THIS COULD BE GLORY". "how to build a chair" was only supposed to be a placeholder title til i figured out a better one, but the innocuousness of it grew on me. also i came up with the other one too late and had already advertised under the chair title lol

20. my first instinct was to end it with something more reassuring, like "what you have built so far is enough" but that would've been an ooc switch-up for a narrator who has been nothing but snide and detached this whole time. gotta stick to my guns

21.

obligatory chair joke as the last line. for realsies though it’s meant to be an earnest appeal to the commander to take a break, to have a seat, but it’s also a challenge. are they willing to lean on their friends? are the bonds they’ve forged strong enough to hold their weight? are they willing to put their faith in someone else’s hands? are they brave enough to try? well. only one way to find out.

also guess what that wasn’t even the real last page of the manual. it's THIS

but no way i was letting this be the image we ended on. IT LOOKS LIKE A DICK AND BALLS!!!

and on that note, THANK YOU if you made it this far!! a very special shout-out to @hawkepockets, my lovely boyfriend and beta reader, without whom this piece would not be nearly as polished. i would bring him pages to look over and he would say Scrap half of those lines you can do better than that. kill your darlings. i would complain and argue for a few minutes then we would revise. rinse and repeat until we had honed this thing to perfection. i can't stress enough the importance of having a second pair of eyes on your work throughout your creative process, even better if it's someone who challenges you. i don't even pay him 🫶🏼

and if there was anything i didn't cover that you still have questions about, please feel free to shoot me an ask! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡ thanks for reading! see u later dudes ;P

[zopy4]

wow, failtopia season 1 is 7 years old now!

to celebrate, i'm taking a bunch of doodles/text posts/general things and putting them into a nice little post!

here are some doodles i've done in my notebooks and planner

some little notes about some of these:

the sixth one is from that one scene where failboat asks chat who their favorite is. i like to imagine they just say every character's name at once.

sooo about the eighth one: i've always associated rose and pirahnyawn with cicada days... just feels very them to me. (also my dnd oc meglan is there too. idk why.)

the twelth one is an in the foreground reference because i've been reading it recently (took a little break from reading it though, i'm like 42-ish chapters in)

and here's some stuff from my procreate gallery that's just been kinda sitting there + some explanations of why i made them

more notes!!!

the first one comes from here

the second one is here

the third and fourth ones have been sitting on my ipad for a while. i think i saw them on discord

an old wip i never finished of the eribo garden scene

on friday i was rly sick and i was thinking about bo taking care of a sick erica and it made me feel a little bit better so i drew a lil sketch

sometimes i like to imagine deko accidentally become chi and lanc's wingman. i just love the s1 neksdor kids and their interactions. here's the base image.

i was reading in the background and a certain scene from chapter 10 made me start giggling so hard and then this appeared on my canvas.

【Multifandom】 Sen's Doodle Log 💗

Doodle compilation post.

KHR AU: Nguyễn Selena (Nguyễn Nguyệt Vân Liên) 💜🪷

2024 vs. 2025

Selena is my Viet NB KHR OC. A soft and gentle person with a modest personality. Calm and aloof, but will open up more around people she's comfortable with. Gets rambly when talking about her interest in plants and fashion.

Likes fashion, historical fashion, and collecting traditional clothes, cute and pretty clothes (ex. girly fashion, lolita, etc.), and learning about plants (ex. plants, flowers, poisons, poisonous plants) and collecting them. Has her own personal garden.

As an assassin, she specializes in poison, and has plants that respond to her emotions to assist her in fights. I mainly ship her with Xanxus, the leader of the Varia ❤️💜

I have a lot more to say since I'm very passionate about her, but I will put Selena's info sheet in its own dedicated post.

Started resketching Selena's hair a bit. I'm pretty picky about my art, especially since I want to capture my beloved wife's beauty.

I want Selena's concept art to have a clearer silhouette and good shapes. I'll eventually redraw the rest of it, but I started with the hair for now.

I want Selena to have those wavy strands on the side. Looks very cute!

I had the lines as the 2nd one I was worried the 2 curls near her two front long strands would be hard to replicate, so I think these recent doodles are closer to what I wanted. I'll sketch a bunch, and pick the one I like most!

Also cuz I always imagined Selena to have a back of random hair strands in the back so I wanted to make space for that. I want her hair to be perfectly fluffy looking...

...

Gonna disable reblogs on these. Just putting these WIPs here so my followers can know what I've been up to art-wise for the past couple months

I was debating whether to tag but might as well. Doodle batch of several months worth (not all of them, but the ones I like most)

When I get the chance to refine these more, I'll put them into separate posts!

I would like to draw my fave ships soon, both in my usual style and cartoony style! 🙏

Magi: Judar wearing hanfu 🖤❤️🐈‍⬛ Magi: JuAli x Unfriendly Hater

Posting my fave Judar doodles here~

In my HCs, Judar wears a type of hanfu called Ruqun (襦裙). Ru (襦) is the cross-collared top of a hanfu, and the wrap-around skirt is called Qun (裙). The coat jacket is called Da Xiu Shan (大袖衫)

I love the expressions on these… I wanna resketch the hair and clothes sometime

I did tentative rain drop earrings for him but it'd be cool if he had gold and red earrings (gold with a red jewel) or snowflake/icicle themed earrings since Judar is an ice magic user

The 1st one I wanna use as a ref sheet eventually for my HC design of him in hanfu. I've been preferring to roughly block out the shape of his braids since Ohtaka draws his braids in a very stylized way. Obviously I'm gonna redraw it neater eventually but stylizing it this way honestly makes it way easier to draw.

I was trying to experiment with how I draw his hair. I also drew these which are interesting to see but the first two look the best

The other ones are interesting, but I think the 1st one captures the vibes more. I think I like the OG best but I'll be incorporating aspects from the others when I refine it.

Been redrawing the hair cuz I wanna settle on a hair shape I like.

I got recommendations to sketch via silhouettes first. It has interesting results :o

I got reminded that some people use lasso tool for quickly blocking in shapes so I tried that. I'll play around with it more sometime, but I like the clearer shapes.

I tend to get caught up in smaller details and always try to see if I can improve on my previous versions, and I like redrawing for fun

I still like the first one too ^^ Sketching with silhouettes was a nice change of pace, I should try it more often.

I like how spiky the hair looks in the 1st one. I think it fits the best.

I'm planning for the 1st one to be a concept art ref sheet. I wanna commission arts of JuAli with my headcanon designs eventually, so I wanna have clean refs available.

Planning to add ice and snowflake patterns on his hanfu, and possibly a Chinese ice dragon.

I wanna give him icicle or snowflake shaped earrings!

These Judar doodles are some of my fave doodles I've done...

I would like to clean up the 2nd one sometime!

I resketched his hair a lot cuz I wanted the perfect shape for it...

For both Selena and Judar, I sketched a lot more than what I posted. I just picked out the ones that looked the best to me.

I think the 1st one looks the best and has the best silhouette, so I decided to go with that. The others look cute too though!

I'd like to draw Alibaba soon for the Unfriendly Hater (Vocaloid song) crossover!!

I am also planning to draw JuAli soon, both in my usual style and in my recent chibi/cartoony style!

KagePro: Kuroha/Saeru wearing Viet traditional clothes (2024) 🖤💛🐍

I originally sketched this in October.

Haven't drawn his clothes yet but I plan to make him wear Viet clothes…

Something something I feel like doing a Kuroha/Saeru MR2 (Manga Route 2) redesign with more influence from traditional clothes (including Viet traditional clothes). WIP for now since I've been busy with school. I haven't drawn clothes on him yet.

I think I will resketch Saeru's pose in the 1st one eventually. I originally drew it in October. I'm planning for this doodle to be Kuroha/Saeru wearing Viet traditional clothes.

Cuz I fuck with everything on this design EXCEPT for the canon design's crop top. I love the black snake scales on his face, the cute little tufts of hair and black horns, the braid in the back that looks like a scorpion's tail like Judar's, red sclera and red gradient limbs, and the white sash with bloodstains on it.

Since Azami is Saeru's creator, I'll be incorporating more of Azami's traditional clothes inspired outfit onto his design~ Since the slit in Azami's outfit also reminds me of some Viet traditional clothes like Áo dài ("Long dress")

Pretty indecisive how I want to draw his hair, but I settled on the 1st one since it looked the best to me.

It has better weight to them and I like the roundness + spikes combined. The pose is tentative for now too

I'm planning to draw both the normal form and MR2 (Manga Route 2) form with this outfit.

I haven't decided how I want to draw the MR2 version hair yet

Picked my faves of my hair attempts.

I'm gonna redraw Saeru's MR2 (Manga Route 2) version's hair at some point.

I love both of Saeru's forms, but I still need to get good at drawing it.

I feel like I'm MUCH better at drawing the usual Black Konoha form

I love Saeru with black painted nails HC~ It just feels so natural 😌

I think in MR2 Saeru's design, the horns are blunt to match the shape of Black Konoha's usual headphones.

I think MR2 Saeru with black pointy horns looks cute! I like how it evokes a devil's image.

Fits him since villains are usually designed with pointy shapes and sharp shape language since it evokes a feeling of danger.

Though it'd be fun to play around with the shapes of his horns!

KagePro: Femme Kuroha/Saeru (2025) 🖤💛🐍

I drew my buff NB genderfluid Saeru HC!

I like thinking of femme Saeru having rather messy hair and a long ponytail in the back that's wavy like a snake shape…

I didn't want her hair to look too round so I kept the usual bangs, but made her hair messy.

I tried re-imagining my buff NB genderfluid Kuroha/Saeru HC!

It's my HC design of femme Saeru

I drew the bottom one much quicker so it's not as refined but it gets the idea down

Since Kuroha/Saeru can use Awakening Eyes to change his body to whatever he pleases, and is able to rebuild its body completely, I imagine Saeru switches between genders and has a fluid sense of self. Though he has a certain affinity to being masc-aligned. Mainly presents as masc.

Most femme Saeru fan designs I see have her as more cutesy femme with a skirt, but I wanted her to have a more ikemen look and still look really menacing and dangerous.

My friend Feila said they think it fits genderfluid femme Saeru to be more androgynous and still wear the usual clothes with the pants and boots

KagePro: KuroEne 🖤💙🐍🐇 Like a snake possessive over its gold. 🐍🐇🍎💛

So my idea was KuroEne with Ene with artistic/barbie doll esque nudity after she first gained her cyber body and snake mark texture imprints inspired off the X-ray arts by Sidu.

And I wanted to a cut-in shot of draw Kuroha/Saeru biting into a golden apple which symbolizes immortality 🍎💛

I think it’s interesting cuz this kind of piece would also convey Kuroha/Saeru’s obsessiveness and possessiveness as a character. Both over what he doesn’t want to let go at all costs (pseudo immortality), and his S/O.

I also like to think of it as Kuroha/Saeru leaving his marks on his S/O throughout the time loops with how he keeps memories of past Routes (timelines)

Like a snake possessive over its gold (immortality) 🐍🍎💛

I haven't drawn Kuroha yet, so I just drew Ene for now in a more chibi esque style. Might play around with the brushes...

Been thinking of a potential KuroEne art piece with Ene with artistic nudity/Barbie doll esque nudity where it's Ene right after she gained her cyber body with snake scale marks/texture imprints on her body (on her thighs and wrists, etc.) and in the background shot is a side profile shot of Kuroha/Saeru holding and biting into a golden apple

I was inspired by the concept of using an “X-ray to see fingerprints” 🩻

And the bite marks too... Hehehehe

WATGBS AU: Idate

2023 vs. 2024

Thank god I haven't lost the ability to draw him 🙏 I'm glad to see he still adapts to my style well with the thickly lined eyelashes/underlashes now 😌🐬🖤🤍💙

I'm kinda surprised that he's one of the easiest charas for me to draw of my meow meow mf faves to draw despite the spiky hair. He and Kuroha/Saeru are the easiest for me

Think it's cuz I finally settled on a hair shape for him that's easily readable, has a recognizable shape. Bigger shapes are generally easier to read. I love the thin spikes at the top/bottom, and the big wide spikes in the middle. Creates nice visual contrast.

Just scribbled the clothes for now cuz my main concern is making the face look nice first. I will resketch the hair later

Shaman King: Asakura Hao ❤️🔥👑⭐

2022 vs. 2025

"But one day, you'll be mine..."

Based on SK: Ch. 135 - Hao proposes to Ren to join him.

I've been cycling back into my SK: HaoRen AU lately because I miss them... Hao and Ren are my top fave SK charas. HaoRen is my fave SK ship 😌❤️💜 I also love HoroRen and RenMei too! 💗

Quickly redrew an old doodle. I'm trying to get used to drawing SK charas in my style... I wanted to draw that one scene of Hao telling Ren, "But one day, you'll be mine..."

I wanna draw HaoRen in both my usual style and cartoony style.

I'm usually into Protagonist/Antagonist ships (as long as they have interesting compelling dynamics and make sense) cuz I always tend to prefer ships with more contrast (and cuz 2 meow meow mfs together usually tend to clash in unappealing ways imo)

I always go for Evil Meow Meow Mf x Soft empathetic S/O with a brighter disposition (ex. LimGuda (FGO), JuAli (Magi), XanLena (KHR AU), KuroEne (KagePro), IdaTatsu (WATGBS AU))

I love Sun/Moon/Eclipse, Light/Darkness (Darkness/Shadow cannot exist without light), Yin/Yang, Protagonist/Antagonist, Protagonist/Rival, Opposites Attract, Seemingly Opposites - Deep Down So Similar, Narrative Opposites/Parallels, Angel/Devil, Soulmates ™️ ships

However... HaoRen is so tasty.

HaoRen, a ship between 2 meow meow mfs, is the perfect rare pair ship in SK for me between my top fave characters, so it is my fave SK ship. It is extremely Sen-core.

Antagonist x Antagonist, King/Lord x Vassal/Retainer, Evil x Edgelord, Charming x Cold

Sign me up!!!

Akechi Goro (Persona 5) x Additional Memory (KagePro) ❤️🥀🏮

Original MV: by Sidu

2019 vs. 2025

Lyrics

I made the mistake of holding you, of wishing; flashing images of luxury

Beyond the evening calm, I light a red light to make a note of our love

Disappearing, rotting

My true feelings melted

In a story where proof that I lived is forbidden

OG doodles are from 2019 - 2020. 1st one just uses a SS from the Additional Memory MV for the BG

I'm just gonna post this here rn cuz it's still a WIP. I keep forgetting to post here oops

Context:

(P5R: Spoiler warning in rambles)

Additional Memory is my 2nd fave KagePro MV and song.

My fave KagePro song is Outer Science (KagePro's Bad End of the Music Route with Saeru killing everyone), which was my gateway into KagePro :)

See the song MV: Here

Read about the song's lore context: Here

The OG one is from 2019 and it looks so doodoo.

I just drew over an SS of the original Additional Memory MV by Sidu cuz I didn't want to draw the Engine Room, etc.

I enjoy how I draw hair and eyes now!

"Revolving lantern" -> Phenomenon of your life flashing before your eyes before death

The song is morbid and has such repressed yearning/longing, I think is so fitting for Akechi.

I assume Sidu is using Blender + Ad*be After Effects (or something similarly powerful) to do the 3D effects with the moving desks and Chrysanthemums (Kiku)

I LOVE THIS MV SM IT'S SO GOOD…

That's why I had a vision of it as a crossover as Akechi's POV with subtle AkeShu...

So so so delicious with the 3rd semester's context and Akechi's feelings towards Joker and denying his own feelings.

THE SONG PICK IS SO PERFECT RAHHH LIKE THE LYRICS AND VISUALS FIT PERFECTLY

Good night to my red heroes with a "corruption" arc where they feel so cornered to pursue their goals they stray off the beaten path out of desperation (re: Ayano's desperation in proposing to kill Mary in Manga Route 2 and Akechi's hitman work)

...

Additional Memory crossover with Akechi Goro and subtle AkeShu (Akechi → Joker) ❤️🖤

I also made a write-up about Additional Memory and Ayano, and subtle ShinAya (Ayano -> Shintaro), which I could post sometime.

I have such a huge brain. My song pick is so perfect

Every single aspect of it fits like AUGHHHH. IT FITS PERFECTLY

I have more to say on this obviously but for now I’ll ramble a bit

Red is the colour of heroes ❤️🧣

I have more thoughts on this ofc

With Akechi's fake personality/act and how his Personas, Robin Hood and Loki, represent "Lies" and "Resentment" respectively

"And the words were lies, lies"

With how Additional Memory uses 走馬灯 (Soumatou, "revolving lantern, ever-changing scene (one's line flashing before their eyes") in the lyric, "Flashing images of my future" -> One's memories flashing before their eyes before death

The lyrics and imagery of the MV are so so so perfect

MR2 Ayano and Akechi have a parallel. Goodnight to my red heroes...

"What does it mean to be a hero/ally of justice..."

...

Additional Memory is such an Akechi (P5) core song tbh

Ayano deciding to sacrifice herself for the sake of her siblings, despite her fears and regrets...

Something about the way these charas will let themselves be sacrificed (ie. Akechi in Shido's Palace in P5) for the sake of a loved one...

Also, Akechi has brown/red-toned eyes and is also associated with the colour RED like Ayano.

It fits Akechi well. You could also include the subtle AkeShu (Akechi/Joker) in it...

[tazienimp]

Words we wish we could say

Mephiles: It was never supposed to be like this

Crystal: I know

Mephiles: I'm sorry

Crystal: I forgive you. Maybe not for everything, but i forgive you.

Mephiles: I love you

Crystal: I love you too.

Crystal and Amethyst, together: We always did

These words will forever go unspoken between them. Mephiles is unable to say he's sorry, and Crystal hates to admit, that after everything her father has done, that she'd forgive him no matter what, at least enough that she can't hate him.

This is directly after this interaction.

After the Shadow Virus was over, after Ames tried and failed to take over her sister's body and the world, after Mephiles discovered both his daughters were technically still alive, after his actions indirectly pushed them into the hardest moments of their lives, after everything, Crystal still couldn't stop herself from running into her dad's arms after their fight. And the words were right there, but none of them could say them.

But they still felt them.

Big big vent under the cut, i just need to ramble, I'm so sorry. Minimal tagging on this post specifically for this reason.

Sorry if it's kinda shit, i haven't drawn Ames in over a year, and i haven't drawn Crys in a hot minute either. I also think my artstyle's changing again, and i wish it would stop that, but it happens. It's also like, almost 3 am and i drew this without even putting my glasses on. It's been a really hard week, and my session yesterday was pretty difficult. I got home and passed out, but then woke up tonight and couldn't go back to sleep, so i figured I'd go ahead and get this off my chest.

It's been really hard to hold myself together these past few weeks. And every project I've been teasing lately, i need to push it back. They'll happen when they happen, I'm tired of fighting them when i can barely function. So, i don't know when those'll happen. I'm just really tired. The biggest hurdle has been, my brain has been wanting to just give up drawing permanently, for a while now. Every day its like, well what if i just... stop. Yanno? My upload schedule is already nonexistent, it's not like it'll be missed, but at the same time it's difficult to put my au to rest. So i don't know what to do, and I've already promised so much stuff to come out to a bunch of my friends, and i just can't get myself to finish any of it rn, and i don't know why. I'm so so so sorry. Specifically to @jadedazemations , i still really wanna draw your boys, and I'm so sorry i haven't been able to contribute to the crossover myself when your doodles have been so cool and i think about them all the time and our convos about them have meant everything to me and continue to do so, and i can't get myself to match your pace and I'm so so so so sorry if ever i made you feel unappreciated or like you were doing so much work for so little in return.

I'm not scrapping the wips, of course, cause i know I'll be able to get back to them at some point, and most of them are like 60% done lineart wise, if not partially colored already, so it's likely I'll finish them someday, i just don't know when, and i know that's super disappointing to hear and I'm so sorry for everyone waiting so patiently for them. I'm so sorry, you guys are my entire world and i feel like i give you all so little in return for all the happiness you give me.

I'll still be posting any art i manage to get out, I'm not quitting just yet.

Also not posting any of this lil blurb to Deviantart when i post this piece there btw, this is something I'm keeping here, but, yeah. I love you all, more than you know, and again I am so so so sorry.

Edit: God fucking dammit Mephy. Anyways so i fixed the pic order, I'm usually better about catching that

[veroinfaciem]

Ohhh a wip tag game! :D Thank you so much for the tag @physics-of-one-piece, @darklordofcutlets, @tavsianus ❤❤❤!

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Tag as many people as you have wips. People send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

Okay, let's gooooo Since Physics also extended the game to artists (thank you ❤!) let's start from the art stuff! And…. yeah, I have either something coherent or some nonsense titles here 😂 I'll focus on these more or less in progress or the ones I want to finish - almost all of them are about the Donquixote brothers though.

Art:

asasdadadad (believe it or not, this is the Time travel swapped AU comic xdd I’m working on color ver now and/or possible continuation)

comic (another Time travel swapped AU, also a comic, a different one tho)

Cora_ponyo_habu_2 (a rough sketch for Corazón x ‘Ponyo’ crossover)

doffy3 (a color version of King of Dressrosa drawing)

doodles (a drawing of Corazón)

kluska (drawings of Corazón)

otohime (a drawing of Queen Otohime, a present for a friend, a sketch for now)

Cora_enamel_pins (a small merch project, currently working on color ver, though I’ll probably switch from enamel pin to acrylic charm, it’s cheaper)

corazon_2_sdhjsdhad (Cora, Law and Doffy drawing, color ver in progress + some DQ brothers doodle. I like to work on many projects in one file, so I group them or just cover up/hide the works I’m not working on at the moment)

1 (a bunch of sketches/concepts for Doffytober2024 prompt ‘hatred’)

devil fruit_1 (a sketch for Doffytober2024 prompt ‘devil fruit’, working on color ver now)

Brothers - Deities2 (DQ Brothers as deities, one stylized drawing (lineart done, working on colors) + a sketch of another one. An old thing but I still want to finish this)

corazon3 (a stylized drawing/poster of Doffy xd I didn’t finish coloring the thing, maybe I’ll post it in black&white)

the world 3 (a DQ Brothers comic set on Minion Island TvT )

vash rosi_comic (would you look at that, another DQ Brothers comic! Cora's musings about Doflamingo's motives)

shirahoshi 1 (an almost finished drawing of Princess Shirahoshi)

As I also write a little,  here are some wips I'm working on (all of them gen and DQ brothers-centered).

Writing:

Time travel swapped AU What the title says. Time travelling Law & Heart Pirates meet little Doffy & Cora. He adopts them takes them in in a heartbeat, though warming up to Doflamingo is a very very slow process. Snippets.

DR st A folder with a bunch of wips for the I've seen you fic. Doflamingo finds slave Rosinante in the Human Auctioning House on Sabaody. He takes care of him and basically decides to wage war on the whole slave market. Cora & Doffy & Donquixote Family, rated T for the topic it circles around, multi-chap + series.

DR - Ghibli - Sen to Chihiro Doffy & Cora x Spirited Away crossover. The brothers are tossed into the Spirit Realm and meet Yubaba sisters. Oneshot.

KSxDR - prologue Not a prologue anymore xd A wip document for the Through the End fic. Doffy & Cora x Blood Blockade Battlefront crossover, multi-chap.

A Battle of Will Corazón-centered, CoraFest wip, multi-chap. Corazón, for some reason, tries to quit smoking, this time for good. The Family has a lot of fun with this.

Pralnia Tsuru - spinoff (translation: Tsuru's Laundry Room - spinoff) Tsuru & Cora & Doffy fic, centered around and exploring Tsuru’s powers, how they can affect people and possibly change DQ brothers’ story. Two chapters, the first one focused on Tsuru and Corazón, the second one on Tsuru’s powers and Doflamingo.

That's all I think! Though still more than I thought xd That was fun! :D I’m fine with posting snippets for both art and writing, so feel free to ask if something caught your eye.��

Tagging time! (no pressure tho ❤) @flamboyant-vampire, @mercyannmay, @sugarpsalms

I don't know who else to tag, but feel free to join if you want to!

2, 9, 30, 32, 33 fic asks!

aaaa thank you rowan beloved friend and mutual <3333333

this got kinda long bc you landed on my trap card: giving me a space to ramble. under the cut we go!

-2- Which of your fics is your pride and joy?

oh god so. I haven't updated it in two years because I got really burnt out by going on an updating spree while I was out of my mind fever dreaming with covid, and it's for an extremely tiny fandom for a manhwa which is really just an excuse for angsty lesbian omegaverse matriarchy in pretty traditional korean clothing. it's. i cannot recommend it without listing a bunch of trigger tags but the characters really fucking got me. im a sucker for a good plucky protagonist. anyways i set about to fix the love triangle with polyamory, as i am wont to do. now that i have given my here be dragons spiel, here it is: like a shadow loves the light

I was in no way prepared for the outpouring of love that fic has received, but that's what happens when you write something for a fandom that (at the time) had only one (1) page on ao3. it's terribly self-indulgent and I have a fantastic time every time I work on it, and I think it shows.

shit. wait. was i contractually obligated to say the fic i wrote at 18 that i met my spouse because of? no. fuck. dont read that i wrote that as a TEENAGER--

-9- How did you get into writing fanfiction?

there was a brief stint in middle school where i would toy with writing fanfiction for things like hp or the various magical girl anime i was obsessed with, and, despite knowing the existence of ffn, believed i was doing something terribly new and cool. none of those things were ever actually written, much less posted. i just doodled for them.

ANYWAYS, the real answer here is i, at 16, got sixteen year old lesbian socked SO HARD in the gut by Star Wars: The Old Republic's Light Side Jaesa Willsaam storyline that I went looking for fanfiction for her and found explicit femslash (big no no for innocent mormon teenager!) for her written by my now-internet-auntie/mum/mentor wrote and realized i was gay. I started engaging with the swtor and kotor fandoms and making my own shit for my ocs for funsies. this got me two significant others and one spouse as well as most of my mutuals here on tumblr.hell.

-30- Have you noticed your style change over time?

god, i hope so. teenage me's things have therapy speak. but those things also got me a spouse soooooooooo. I like to think I've gotten a little better over ten years. One hopes. matured a little.

-32- A character you enjoy making suffer.

any character i am remotely attached to? which means, currently, my bg3 polycule girlies. sorry girlies.

-33- A character you want to protect.

IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS ANSWERS I WOULD KILL AND DIE FOR SHADOWHEART i was chewing through drywall for MONTHS before i got the game bc i knew i was going to get got SO BAD and i was right and 0% disappointed and my girl deserves all the peace and happiness in the world--

-sweeps current Bad End WIP under the rug- nevermind that,

[tekatonic]

FINALLY Introducing : Sonic Emerald Guardians AU

SO. I've never actually shown this outside of discord yet. I said I'd post everything about it in April 2022... and then I didn't and it's now July 2023 so it's high time I followed through !! Nothing about it is finished yet, and it's my first big public project so please be nice ?

Yes, so what's it actually about ?

Well to be concise, it's the whole game series but rewritten with new laws to the world and a consistent canon ! ( yes, quite the endeavor ) What's chaos energy ? What are rings ? Inhibitor rings ? Deities ? How do the characters' powers work ? All that good stuff.

That's pretty much it really, basically I'm trying to flesh out the worldbuilding to overthinking limits.

Telling you right now : the bulk of the work I've done on it so far is character design explorations and a currently 17 pages-long google doc with all the lore ( and it's nowhere near done ), with on the side some short drabbles and a wip timeline mind map.

The end goal is to make this a sort of abstract fancomic, spanning about one game per issue maybe ? We'll see. In the meantime I'm working on more character designs, and thinking about their stories and stuff.

Hopefully you guys enjoy whatever this is !

I'm gonna be posting the digital art I've done for this daily starting today until it runs out. The earlier of these are pretty outdated sadly but whatever. There's a bunch of trad doodles of the AU but I haven't scanned or photographed them so that's gonna have to wait :/

[sad-leon]

Asking a handful of creators:

Do you save things that, for one reason or another, you never ended up posting? I always love seeing scrapped WIPs / deleted scenes / etc, and was just curious!

(Absolutely no pressure to post any of it, of course!)

Theres a lot I dont post to Tumblr and even more that I don't post to Instagram. I usually share with discord though. I've thought about making a big post of those at some point.

Wips that I haven't shared, though, I got a whole folder of animations I probably will never finish. I have a bunch of half-done animatics as well. Maybe one day I'll go back and share what I did get done

A lot of my traditional art, though, I rarely share anymore. I have a lot of Lonely Leo doodles that I've done traditionally that I haven't shared as well as comic/au ideas that never go anywhere

I had a whole animatic planned that I was doing traditionally with watercolour that I never finished lol. If I can find the papers maybe I'll edit together what I did get done (it was Snufkin-centric, though)

My notes app also homes a lot of ideas or concepts that never really go anywhere

[megaawkwardhuman]

hello hi hey I'm icarus (but I'm also fine with virgo) and welcome to my blog!

idkf how you got here but uhhh congrats?

also sorry if parts of the gif look weird idfk how to fix it

I'm a neurodivergent artist who talks about gay vampires (wwdits) a lot!

I do have other interests tho like ofmd, hannibal, re-animator, interview with the vampire, the band ghost, the world of mr plant, south park, and so much more (it's just that wwdits is just what I think about the most)

things I've made:

I've written a few fic before and one can be found on my blog! it's a post season 4 nandermo fic and here's a link if you wanna check it out :)

as for the rest can be found on my ao3 here! (I'm not going to move the post season 4 fic there mainly cause idk if I really wanna)

I made a uquiz a while ago that basically tells you what you would be if you where in the wwdits universe (a vampire, a familiar. an energy vampire etc)

I have an instagram that I just post my art to and that's really it

things I like to make:

as you can probably gather by now I primarily do pixel art but I also like to doodle/sketch with good old pencil and paper

I make a LOT of kandi (primarily singles) buuut I don't really post it on here (I mean unless someone asks me to I'm more than willing to share)

I kinda write? like I've written fics before and I DO have a bunch of wips but it's kinda hard for me to finish a fic due to the fact that I get distracted easily and the fact that I'm really dyslexic (you have no idea how badly I wanna fist fight the english language in a denny's parking lot at 3am)

oh while it's not a medium or anything but I'd like to mention I LOVE to draw characters from the media I like as pastel bunnies! (tho at this current moment it's primarily wwdits characters I draw) is it weird? yeah but I like to so I'm not stopping anytime soon if you want a rough explanation as to why I made a long post about it

fav characters:

guillermo de la cruz from wwdits (seriously I'm fucking feral for this man he's my top blorbo atm! he has my gender in a chokehold and I relate to him A LOT also harvey guillen is just really fucking hot-)

nandor the relentless also from wwdits (not as crazy about him but like he fascinates me and I love his goofy cringefail vibes... HE'S ALSO REALLY HOT-)

dib from invader zim (while I haven't watched invader zim in a while I still consider dib to be a fav! hell he's my fucking profile pic. he's one of the first ever characters in something I've seen that I've related to)

stede from ofmd (he's a huge fucking mood and I too jump into things head first without any plans whatsoever)

argos from twomp (a new addition to my fav character list since I stumbled upon twomp more recently. idk I just like him like go googly eye man date that murderous plant dude! wow that must sound weird to those who don't know what the world of mr plant is XD. it also might have to do with the fact that he's kinda socially awkward)

mr plant from twomp (another new addition. idfk something about that murderous plant I find oddly relatable? I think it's the fact that he's also socially awkward. arguably more than argos)

herbert west from re-animator (idk I think this autistic man with no care for ethics is neat)

I have more but for now those are the ones I'm gonna list :)

other shit:

as I've already said I have dyslexia, I possibly have ADHD (never officially diagnosed buuuuut really fucking confident I do and a past therapist said I most likely do), I keep running into situations where I question if I have autism or not so take that as you will, and despite what it may seem I have really REALLY bad social anxiety (well I have overall anxiety too but let's just say there's a reason I spend a lot of time online and not out and about)

asks as you can already tell are open

DMs are also open (tho I will say it's mainly to mutuals)

WARNING I KEYBOARD SMASH A LOT!

nandermo shipper but I'm fine with other ships involving the two :)

overall I try to be nice on here cuz there's enough negativity out there why add to it? tho key word here is try (I've gone on small rants here before and there's the possibility I will again)

I really REALLY fucking love bats and frogs THEY'RE JUST LITTLE GUYS HOW CAN I NOT?

there will be moments where for one reason or another (sleep deprived, sad, bored, it's a tueday, etc etc) I'll be reminded that oh yeah I fucking love frogs and will just start spam reblogging frog posts so be warned if you see me reblog a frog photo and read the words frog blogging or frog posting in the tags run while you still can (or don't cuz frogs are the best and need to be loved and cherished)

tag stuff:

misc thoughts/ideas/this tag is mainly random shit: throwing up my thoughts onto tumblr again

theories/meta/looking too much into small stuff: word garbage™

answering asks: answering stuff

my art: *funny tag for my art*

bunny art related posts: bun stuff

mothman memo related posts: mothman memo stuff

fanfics I've written: gather around and lend me your time

edits I've made: edit shmedit

memes I've made: brought to you by ms paint

show + tags thing: + tags

all the weekly wwdits sparkle on images: sparkle on it's gay vamp day!!!

posts that involve irl friends of mine: friend chaos

follow for a fuck ton of reblogs, art, and long tangents about whatever takes over my mind atm

thanks for reading, have a nice day, and remember: baby bats are called pups

this has nothing to do with this post I just thought this was important info plus I just wanted to throw in this cute bat image I found on google

[vantaray]

I've been trying to refrain from posting a bunch of WIPS and sketches but it's most of all I have time for recently. Here's more Au Ra headcanon stuff haha

Occasionally, sparring Au Ra can end up with their horns locked, usually needing a third party to unlock them. Older doodle but decided to post it anyway

[dangerous-advantage]

(yagi-no-eda here~)

Totally would circle back /pos. I’m also pretty new to the fandom!

My wife has liked Usagi Yojimbo and associated stuff for years but it’s only this summer that my brain has allowed me to really get into it, and make it past the first 2-3 comics. Not for lack of trying - it was just never the right time in an ADHD way*. Something always would distract me. I’ve inhaled all the comics I can in just the last couple of months and yeah, Stan came at me with a steel chair too. I did not expect …this whole situation. I’ve been a fandom lurker since 1999 and yet suddenly I have blog I use near daily, a sketchbook, and bunch of fic WIPS...

Mainly because I am Unwell over UY.

I have accepted my fate. This is always going to be a Thing now.

Though I did admittedly also inhale TMNT 2003 and Rise.

Travels with Jotaro is one of my favourite volumes, but I’m also weirdly into Bridge of Death rn and just….in general having a moment over Usagi’s time with Mifune. To the point I’m doodling intros for a fake show called The Mifune Years. He had this whole expected future and friends - denied.

* to be fair this is also the summer I found out its def ADHD driving this media analysis machine I call a brain

Hope this was an okay way to get back to you! /lil anxious

Feel free to network (or share thoughts) in my tags anytime, I love hearing what other people think. Also happy to chat anytime. Or feel free to tell me to back off and that's chill too :)

(been waiting to answer this for when i had more time but gave in; should be working on my fic(s) but you know how it is lmao. stay tuned for a very long post, because i love talking about things with people, especially things i like haha

very cool to see another person very passionate about this series! i grew up on 2003 (and the 90's movies-- my parents had the third one on cassette and i remember i wore that fucker out lmao) but it was always more of a "scattered interest" rather than something i was fully pulled into

i started getting into rise (read: The Algorithm came for me) probably mid-July of last year, but didn't fully fall into it until after the movie came out. it renewed my interest in tmnt overall, and i've been here ever since!

i did attempt to watch the usagi chronicles a couple of times, and i remember thinking they were fun but not really my thing. (i definitely want to revisit it, even though i know it won't hold a candle to usagi yojimbo. it does look fun in a silly way, which i can get behind.)

i knew vaguely about how big usagi yojimbo was, and that it was a commitment, but i'm surprised how quickly it sucked me in. i've never been super interested in stuff within the genre, but damn if it doesn't satisfy the autism. entire chapters devoted to infodumping about the edo period of japan? sign me the fuck up!

i especially did not expect how much it would make me feel. like. wow. ouch. usagi is just Some Guy but he is also so well characterized and you really feel for his internal conflict, 10/10.

i've been looking for series with older protagonists, especially those more focused on the familial/platonic aspect rather than romantic (i am just an nd queer on the interweb, can you blame me for yearning for found family?), but hadn't found any i really liked other than the tarot sequence by kd edwards (very good read, would highly recommend.)

also not to be a nerd but ohhhh my god i am so obsessed with the plot with mifune.

like i know the series takes place after that, and after the fallout of that, but just. wow. imagine devoting your entire being to another, to the point where you would readily die for them and their word, and then they die. they die, and you did everything you could to honor them in that death, but they're still gone.

like... that emptiness stays with you. you don't just get over that. maybe it's the "being raised in a cult" but wow, do i empathize with that.

idk if we explore more about the fallout/exact history with mifune/immediately following mifune's death but there is so much writing potential there. if i was not embroiled within turtle hell and 50,000 words deep in a multi-chapter fic already, i would absolutely write something for it.

like. this is adjacent to your interest in the topic, but can you just imagine (/rhetorical /general you.) as far as we know, he spent five days on the battlefield before he made it out to the tangled skein.

(which is one of my favorite additions like good god holy shit. that is so cool and angsty. your lord, days after dying, appears as a fucking ghost and saves you. like, if i were to be silly and funky, i would absolutely headcanon that as the reason that he was able to stand up and continue on. because i mean... what else? what else could motivate you to stand up once more after something like that?)

(well. honor. but mifune is the physical manifestation of honor in the narrative, so same difference? it's like both thematically significant and emotionally significant and-- ok im shutting up now. but i could talk for days, istg.)

but like. how do you reconstruct yourself from that? we see him holding tight to this sense of honor, even after his lord is gone, sent reeling (adrift in the waves) with only his soul and moral compass to hold to.

which makes it hurt so much more when we see these ideals of honor-- this ghost of a man, of a life, still haunting him years after the event-- still woven through the narrative, made to specifically conflict his deepest wants.

i joke about it a lot on my fic discord (i have a whole channel called 'father-material' devoted to just pictures of him hanging out with/taking care of kids), but something that seems very important to him is wanting to be a father figure, and wanting these connections to family and friends.

but that is contrasted against these ideas of honor, the very thing he built and rebuilt his foundation off of after it was torn away from him. and it's just so incredibly painful but also it makes sense, because he can't just give up the side of himself that is a samurai. too much of his person, his characterization, is built off of this.

to see it constantly clash with this want to settle down and finally rest, devote himself to his relationships/family rather than the code of bushido-- the very essence of honor itself-- ourgh ourgh ourgh its so good

(put aside the fact that he once said he could never serve another lord, and we know from the story that the idea of a "lord" can be more than just a person... he never stopped serving mifune, not truly. he still upholds the ideas of honor that mifune stood for/represented. as if his lord never truly left him.)

...i was going to say more, but then i realized this turned into a whole-ass mini-analysis, so i'm forcing myself to stfu. but basically: i have feelings about this series, man (/gender neutral).

anyway. if you ever do put something together, i would love to read/follow it! if i ever wrote something, it would probably be exploring the direct fallout of losing mifune, so hey, different niches but similar (:

also: never be anxious about talking to me ever in any way possible. i will probably be even more annoying than you in tags/asks/everything under the sun, and i do genuinely love talking to people who share my interests (typically about those interests.) i like to pretend i am an internet Cool Guy, however, it is a flimsy veneer to hide all the cringefail swaglessness and unending mental illness about my blorbos

(...i am so tempted to just invite you to my og turtle discord server so i can annoy you about usagi on the regular. also about what my reimagining of yuichi would be, because i have so, so many ideas.

i will refrain, but if you would be interested, it has been kinda dead as of late, so it would be nice to enrich the ecosystem a little by slowly collecting other usagi-interested individuals and slowly taking it over, one by one (/j /lh).)

anyway, same thing goes for me with my posts/asks/reblogs/messages/whatever. i am so very earnest, so if that puts you off, that's very chill and fine. however, as long as you're down to vibe, i am similarly down to vibe >:D

i once more apologize for this monstrosity of a reply. i would say it won't happen again, but my reading comprehension apparently does not extend to the "all things in moderation" maxim. instead i choose maximalism (to the max)

(sorry for that joke. yeah that will also happen again. sorry. /lh /pos)

[vallikesgivinghugs]

Ooh sounds fun let's do it!

Under read more because y'know don't want people to have to scroll through all of that if they don't care.

1. IbisPaintX, honestly it was my first art program I ever actually used but now I'm FireAlpaca's bitch.

2.Oooh I personally really enjoy/have an easier time drawing front facing characters, profiles are so darn difficult.

3. Big bright and noticeable eyeshines i guess! Always been a thing for me, so my characters always have extra bright eyes. Or i guess eyes in general are a thing I kept from my kiddie days.

4. Crystaline stuff and MAGIC. I love them both so much but god can I not draw them for the life of me. And hair! But hair i'm starting to figure out!

5. Now that I think about it's pretty darn close id I do say so myself! Like 40 to 45% i post online (mostly on discord) and then 55 to 60% i keep to myself!

6. When I draw cats it's a lot of inspo from different warrior cats fandom big names but in general anime is my big inspo!

7.Traditional painting! I tried painting and it's just not for me but I love the way it looks and how many thing people can do with it!

8. God the amount of stories and characters that I've just left as wips in immense. I have adhd, can't finish stuff for shit.

9. Usually if it's one character it's 'character name' and then you add a number or a descriptor (aka smile or smth). Otherwise it's just like 2 or 3 words of what the drawing is. And then I group those in like 'finished art' 'wips' etc!

10.Ooh tough one. I do enjoy drawing poofy sleeved shirts or like long flowy dresses/skirts.

11.Ranges from romance music playlists to true crime and everything in between! I just need a background noise honestly. Doesn't really matter what the noise is.

12. Face. I draw floating heads on the regular.

13. Junji Ito. His style is just so freakin' interesting and his grasp on anatomy is just amazing! But, personally I'm not the biggest horror/gore fan so I don't actually read his stuff. I just find his art nifty when I see it.

14.Polkadots or stripes. Love that stuff.

15.In my room personally but I used to go out to parks and draw there when I was younger.

16.Lineart. everyone is always sayin' stuff like 'Wow your lines are so nice and clean' and while I do agree that it's one of my strengths personally my lineart always looks rigid and wrong to me. I tend to prefer my sketches and nowadays I usally clean those up and use 'em as the lineart.

17.Nope. i completely forget that my body has bodily functions when i draw. I get invested X3

18.Not many! Honestly it's less that I break them on purpose and more that I'm clumsy and drop stuff all the time but on the regular I try my best not to break stuff.

19.Flowers and bushes!

20. Armor of any kind, love me some shiny metals and belts and buckles.

21. I really like the disney style (both 2d and 3d) and I'm really a big fan of 3d animation in anime (studio orange with Trigun Stampede and Land of the Lustrous have my heart)

22.none I live on the edge. (Don't do this, please stretch your hands I'm just a dumbass)

23.I use so many layers and so many of them are multiply and add it's not even funny.

24.Yes. stock images are really good for poses and stuff. I often makes collages of multiple of them to get what I want exactly.

25. Hmmm, i dunno if that's happened to me actually.

26.Nothing comes to mind but i'm sure it's happened!

27.I draw a bunch of circles. And sometimes doodle like different body parts or sonas of mine loosely.

28.I participated in the artfight of 2023! It was a good time.

29.live action tv shows and just non-animated movies/stuff in general! I can write fanfic wips for days but drawing them? Nah.

30.hmmm can't think of any? I probably have one or two that I wish got more attention but usually the attention my art gets is pretty on par with what I' expecting!

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game

Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.

(I wrote this while sick out of my mind last year and it's been collecting dust in my drafts, I might as well let it run free) 1. Art programs you have but don't use

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)

3. What ideas come from when you were little

Hello! this blog is an attempt to categorize all* the art I've ever done! (more details on that below the bullet points)

It's still a bit of a work in progress with uploading previous work; once I'm done with that I'll start linking this tumblr on my various other social media probably maybe lol

#Tagging system:

(all art is also tagged with their title+year of creation. you could use tumblr's archive view to sort by year, but at the start of this blog I was uploading a bunch of old art a lil out of order so that won't really work for most work made before 2024 lol)

More blog context:

"but Joanna, you already have another art blog and an instagram and a portfolio website where you post art!" Yes I know I have also been agonizing over this lmao. I've been just kinda thinking that man I make art for SUCH different audiences sometimes and I've finally relented to the necessity of dividing that art up into different accounts and places in order to give my work more clarity to those different audiences. BUT for ME I'd love to have one place where I can kinda just see everything and talk about all my work existing together... So this is what that blog is! It's All* My Art. I do love archiving and organizing things haha

This blog will also be the place I share my thoughts and process about a piece! Really going into the more traditional idea of "blogging" with this one boys

(*all is not quite accurate because for work made before 2018/19ish I'm just choosing what I think was significant to me/interesting in my journey. also *all except for I'll probably only put digital art that i feel is significant on this blog. see my peppermint-moss blog for a comprehensive look at all my digital art/animation and wips)

OTHER ART ACCOUNTS:

@peppermint-moss (tumblr + youtube) 🌸 digital art, animation videos, fanart 🌸 also see: digital art commission website (which is attached to the peppermint-moss name!)

@ joannaliang.art (instagram) 🎨 zines, artist books, some comics..... 🎨 more "visual art world" kind of things because most people who follow me there are from my university/similar spaces. a more 'polished' surface level look at my practice. (the place where I'd say things like 'my artistic practice...' and 'conceptually speaking my intentions for the piece were...' and whatever else lol)

portfolio website 🌱 the thing I'd send for applications/fancy people asking to see more of my work

this blog 💐 an attempt at a holistic catalogue of all of those things! + sharing my process/thoughts on my art
