Welcome back, Eclipse.
Just putting a version with no text here
Honestly I can’t remember the last time I just drew Sun and Moon Show Eclipse outside of any of the AUs.
#welcome back spicy dorito man!#many of us missed you very much can you pls stay this time#i do want him to get a redemption arc but I let myself draw him being villain-y just because I could#also am I the only one who’s actually concerned for Eclipse right now?#Dude hasn’t even done anything as of coming back and Moon’s already on a warpath to murder him in the most excruciating way he can think of#do not touch the dorito please#tsams#sun and moon show#tsams eclipse#sun and moon show eclipse#sams eclipse#fnaf eclipse#sams#tsams spoilers#my art#fnaf#fnaf sb#never thought I’d see the day but here we are#am I worried we’ll get backstabbed with this info somehow?#yes#but I’m still going to enjoy him being back from his vacation either way#redeem the dorito#eclipse fnaf#sun and moon show fanart#tsams fanart#sams fanart

its so hard to watch time pass when things like careers and assignments exist. what do you mean im supposed to take that seriously
#I have an assignment that was due a week ago and I really really dont want to do it. I have to but i dont want to#im probably making it worse because my brain has built a wall around it so now i can’t do literally anything else until thats done. but#because I don’t want to do it I’m just kinda stuck. turns out this is what they meant when they said emotional regulation is part of#exec dysfunction.. I’ll have a thought like if I get a little bit of it done now i can get it over with. I can just submit something#and then not even 5 minutes later itll be like ugh but I have to draw all the assets out. I have to write things and make spreads ugh#and its just flopping between those two things. i hate it when ppl are like well how much time do you need to work on one thing#because BOY id love to know too. I’d love to know exactly when my brain wants to cooperate with me and work around that but I cant#even my period can’t decide when it wants to punch me in the stomach. which is kinda funny in the grand scheme of things but still#its so weird im just lying on my bed thinking abt all this like damn.. the time will pass anyways no matter what I decide to do.. damn….#if I submit that assignment now and take the L I literally won’t die. it’ll just be a deduction on an assignment nobody will ask me about#I know this but I’m still stressing myself about it so my thoughts aren’t really connecting to my body. weird#maybe its because Im having a hard time looking forward to things. theres definitely a lot I should be living for but I don’t really feel#a strong attachment to it I guess? it’s been like this for a while with holidays and meeting with friends so I just don’t#I kinda figured its because im pretty passionless and its more like passing interest. but it’s not very fun when it feels like I’m going to#be living distraction to distraction for the next 70 years or so lol#idk it kind of feels like slowly bleeding out. which is funny because I actually did experience blood loss this week#had a 30 minute nosebleed and literally could not stand. also it felt like someone was pinching the back of my brain which was interesting#yapping#does this count as vent#vent#Ive just been making an oc carrd and contemplate changing my blog header for the past 3 days honestly

Does there exist a SINGLE art reference online in which a hand is placed on someone’s forehead in a feverish and/or tender way. anywhere.
#ugh I had a good idea for a drawing but I want a REFERENCE#and I can’t FIND ANY#and since it involves hands I really want a reference#usually I’d just make do but uggggg#I guess I could attempt using myself#but that’s harrrrrd#whiney whine whine#rambles from the floor

Portal duo in Portal 2 attire!
more context and rambles below the cut
Ok some context to this! I had an idea to draw portal pals in Portal’s setting a while ago that I put into my drawing ideas list, then didn’t think about for months. Then over a month or so ago I remembered it and wanted to work on it, and I started sketching designs for the guys, buuuuut I kind of ended up making a whole Rise portal au LOL. So I drew some designs and wrote some story stuff for it, but still didn’t work on the drawing that started it all.
I made this for a reference image of Leo and Mikey in the au and planned to finally draw the image I’d had in mind for ages, but I kind of lost steam for the portal au lol. Anyways, I do still plan on doing that drawing and maybe coming back to this au because it is pretty fun, but for now take the reference drawing I made before the art looks too outdated to me lol (this is from early October I believe)
#rise of the tmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#save rise of the tmnt#rottmnt fanart#rottmnt#tmnt 2018#rottmnt au#rise mikey#rise leo#soep art#rottmnt stuff#rise portal au#may as well make the tag in case I do return to this au and post stuff for it#I guess if anyone is curious about this#I could post the notes I have for this au along with any messy doodles I have? If anyone’s interested#I will do that cool portal pals in portal drawing I promised myself#life has just been. Odd.#so i haven’t posted much in general#but I’d like to get back into it!#just taking my time

If I may, how do you typically approach choosing colors in your art? It always has just a lovely feel to it, so I was a bit curious; don't feel pressured to answer ofc :]
I’ve been using a lot of gradient maps lately, they work by switching the greys in your piece with a corresponding colour according to its value. Basically, I colour in black and white, grab a gradient map, and then I adjust the colours by hand until I’m happy with it. This isn’t the only kind of colouring I do, but it works great if you’re in a rush or you’re struggling to find a good starting point for your colours. I’ve been operating under a time crunch for these Sketchbook Week drawings and the Plenism promo stuff I made, so for all except one I used gradient maps. I’m actually in a bit of a funk with my colours right now soooo I’ll come back and do a proper colouring tutorial for my style once I’m happier with how my non gradient mapped colours are looking !
#after sketchbook weeks over I wanna sit and do some colour studies to find palettes I’m more happy with#even these gradient map ones I’m not thrilled with#they’re fine! but I could do better#in terms of other tricks I use I’ll often adjust the hues and saturations if the whole piece to give things more unity if I’m struggling#and/or add a new layer on top of everything and fill it with one base colour#and play around with different layer settings and opacities on top#I’ve found a luminosity layer on a low 5-10% setting is quite nice#basicslly I fuck around and find out#and if I’m in a rush I use a gradient map#they’re not neccesarily a quick fix! if you’re like me you’ll still want to do some tweaking after it’s been applied#and you need to pay attention to your values when you’re colouring in black and white#but that’s another good thing about gradient maps - they force you to focus on value over hue which is an important skill to build#so yeah I’ll come back to this and make an actual colouring tutorial once I feel like I have actual good advice to give#cause rn I’m just very meh in my colouring and I don’t think I have anything very helpful to add#need to find some tutorials myself first !#ty for the ask!#ask#art#my art#bpcol-reblogs#textpost#blethering#for this piece the adjustments were minimal in comparison to what I usually do btw#because I was rushinggggg lol#I did more for my Plenism posters n such#but I can’t really show good comparisons because I. didn’t save them like that#I usually smush all my layers together when I’m drawing sooo yeah makes it hard to go back my bad whoops#but I saved as I was going whilst drawing this so I could provide examples yipee!#if I’d been smarter and remembered more I could’ve had more process screenshots butttt oh well lmao

Decided to sketch some of those YCH ideas for warm up but they kept getting smaller as I went
Finished the papyri and then went “ok, time to do some sanses!” and stared blankly at the canvas for like six minutes
#I wanna emphasize that these can be either platonic or romantic but even STILL I hc sanses in general as just not being fans of physical#affection that much which makes character interaction things like this. difficult#maybe sledding with blue…but then I’d have to do full body…ough#ooh. sans putting the snowman’s carrot through his nasal cavity and the insert laugh while holding a snowball to imply making a snow#snow man I hate typing on the ipad dying ten thousand deaths. anyway#hmmmm#HMMM…#OH maybe I could add Pup and insert character getting tangled in Christmas tree lights that’d be cute right??#not a sans lol OUGH red is so Not a touchy guy who doesn’t participate in things it’s hard to imagine him in most seasonal situations#maybe just smth simple like insert putting a knit cap on his head to keep him warm..? ough#wanna self indulgently add void but Who would want that and What would be even be doing. wait no cute imagery of him knitting and insert#holding the yarn for him watching curiously OUGH…what a grandma#maybe I could just draw that as him and the Chara who lives w/ him for a bit as a Christmas doodle like the one w/ abstract#I’m just talking to myself at this point ok sorry bye#sunny with clouds#wips in the sun

artists… i think something really cool could be done here with one (or all) of the dimi daughters and the painting of them vs how they appear in village. not in regards to trauma but rather, like, becoming worse?
#i wish i could draw because i’d do it myself. but i cannot (at least for now)#so i’m passing the torch of my idea to anyone who might see this#bela dimitrescu#cassandra dimitrescu#daniela dimitrescu#resident evil village

The website was called brush.ninja… I had to ….
#bandit's doodles#grian#mumbo jumbo#waffle duo#tmnt was a Special interest of mine guys#I needed to do this#for myself#this made me think of who would be which turtle too…#mumbo I’d say is 2012 Donnie specifically#Grian is rise leo probably#gem is rise mikey#xisuma is 2012 splinter#doc is a mix of all the splinters#scar would probably be a mix of 2012 and ‘03 mikey#I can’t think of any other ones rn but#anyways the website#it was one of those websites you’d go to in school if you’re bored and just wanna draw nothing doodles#it had an array of presaved colors and a color selection thing which was good#no eye dropper that I could find though#I was about to be upset about the lack of eraser bUTif you tap the pen button it’s there along with other brushes!!#you have to zoom with the - and + buttons which was awful#and the movement thingy was finicky but I made it work#it had a limited amount of undos though which sucked I think#overall 6.7/10#(alsoIgotsidetrackedalldaythatswhythisissolatesorryy)

Behold, my latest and most enamouring new obsession:
Malina, Lady of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. As if Red Lotus child OCs weren’t niche enough
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#lok malina#still feel like that’s too vague of a tag but I can’t come up with anything better for now#and yeah. she has completely stolen by heart and I don’t know how to feel about that#don’t think I ever was this attracted to my own art before#to be fair the design isn’t mine. it’s very heavily based on something nina drew back in 2021#because I did not have the energy or creativity to come up with my own thing#but the art is all mine and I genuinely adore it. super proud of myself which is a rare occurrence#anyways. kat and I spent three days digging this niche lower and lower and now have a he#*hell of a lot of lore about this basically nonexistent character#for lore about a lady from the North Pole a lot of it is rather hot… to the point my cheeks are burning non stop#I would say I’d let her do anything she wants to me but in my very specific aroace-adjacent case it’s more like#I’d let her tell me to do anything she wants to her#if that makes any sense and I have not completely lost my goddamn mind yet#okay. enough yapping. back to the art itself#lazy background because I suck at those and am not currently attempting to learn them. I’ll probably do that over the summer#about time anyway. my characters have been placed against an off-white background for far. far too long#this is the first piece in just over a year that isn’t tagged with sotrl. which is kinda weird tbh#I’ve been drawing my OCs almost exclusively for nearly 5 years so it is genuinely surprise I’m branching out#*surprising#less branching out and more diving from one hole into another but y’know#anyway. in my personal and very correct opinion she turned out absolutely gorgeous#her servants are way too lucky and unalaq is way too much of an idiot. no offence to vaatu but he could never beat out this#and I also have Kat’s personal and very correct opinion to back up my own. two against the void. once again we’re winning#I wanna draw her a lot more bc she has completely possessed my brain. I just wish character interactions were easier to draw 😭#I’ll figure it out. just need to fight my visualisation issues for a proper idea. brb#okay I’m almost at the tag limit so. in summary:#she 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

theOrEticalLy . if I opened commissions at some point. would there be. a smackerel of interest . ??
#i have never opened them bc it’s intimidating and I don’t know how to price things!!#but mostly bc i work full time w a good salary so I don’t really need side things to make money#like it feels selfish to suggest that people should pay me to make fanart?? When#a) I already do that for free bc i enjoy it lol#and b) there are so many creators out there who are struggling to make ends meet#and I am privileged enough to generally not have to worry about that#this would be just like extra spending money to fund my scented candle habit DHDJDN#and the clothes I just bought while trying to Discover My Vibe and Finally Be Myself (at age 28 lol)#also tbh it would likely be reinvested in other commissions bc I buy commissions fairly often lol#anyway. idk the idea of commissions always sounded cool but also guilt inducing and scary#it feels weird and silly bc it would make me have to take my art seriously if that makes sense??#like me saying ‘I think I’m good enough at art that people would buy it from me.’ that feels so bold and like. arrogant or something dhjsjd#coming from me I mean. just a silly little guy who still struggles to draw human limbs properly#ok I’m thinking about how I’d have to make a commission sheet and put a dollar sign on my art and I’m aaaaaaa#and I’d have to execute exactly what people want and what if I can’t!!!#omg ok maybe noT help lol#well im not committing to anything rn im simply. asking a question while the dash is asleep and then running off to bed seeya#i think part of me always wanted to try commissions to see if I could be a Real Artist about it ??#and potentially end up with like. Portfolio pieces ??#why I would need an art portfolio I don’t know. I am an editor. What do I think I will be doing here#ppl left comments on my animatic that have been giving me crazy what if thoughts. sit down#don’t look at me#ohhh swirly brain thoughts I need to sleep

sudden realisation that the thing holding my art back is that I never had an anime phase
#going to find a time machine and get my younger self into death note or smth#I have been driving myself insane for the past few years bc I wanna draw characters but all I know how to do is portraits#I’m trying to figure out how I could recreate smth similar now and tragically I think it does just come down to draw more :/#however! I am also going to try using brushes which will be bad for sketchiness and better for lineart bc I might need to force myself here#I just gotta simplify things down to basic shapes how hard can it be#[has been thinking this exact thing for years and it’s not worked]#I am getting better every time I do stuff I’m just not satisfied bc art is frustrating when you know what you want but can’t get there#god it’s 2am I should not be awake rn but I could draw again tonight so I was taking advantage#endlessly frustrated by hair. why is it so awkward. I need to understand hair better how do I do this#i have a feeling it’s bc I’ve not figured out how to apply the shit I figured out abt volume yet#I’m also getting impatient bc I’ve been trying to do a study thing for some art styles but I decided I wanted to draw ocs instead of that#when I hadn’t gotten to the actually important bit which was. making smth new. but I can still do that#and I ended up doing a different style anyway (someone pls stop me rounding everything make me use high opacity square brush for my health)#the Other problem is I never wanna switch brushes. like I want to use one brush for whole drawing bc the extra clicks annoy me#I wonder if there’s a shortcut to swap brushes#anyway I’m gonna stop complaining bc drawing is fun but god I wish I’d drawn some more pokey mans when I was a teenager yknow#ideally younger. would rlly like to not have to actually think to figure this out rn#I’m probably overthinking stuff anyway honestly and I KNOW I’ll get it if I practice enough but goddamn it is hard to practice#especially when my me insists on making the bad things look better by making it more realistic#instead of figuring out why the shapes aren’t working#OKAY IM DONE WITH THIS NOW. GONNA TRY NEW ART THINGS LATER STOP TALKING <3#luke.txt

I need Raph and Mona (specifically te Rise versions) to do romantic dances, no no listen, hear me out- I need them to dance and take up the whole room because they’re two big reptiles with larger than life personalities and laughs that fill up the room and make the whole place feel at home, I need them to dance together like they are the only two people that matter in the whole world, LISTEN JESSIE LISTEN-
I need them to swing together and they both take turns sweeping each other in their arms because they’re both just that strong and they like taking turns being carried (they’re entire lives they’ve always been the ones carrying others and they finally met somebody who can carry them)
Understand me please- I need these two big girls and big boys to let loose and just feel the physical connection between each other and the rhythm of the music, I need them to laugh together so much they get dizzy-LISTEN I need them to take a breather when the song ends and just nuzzle their snouts and slowly rock each other side to side while holding hands and maybe even their tails curl together
I NEED-
#PLS PLS PLS#rottmnt#raph x mona lisa#save rottmnt#rise mona lisa#rise raph#I just think I’d be very sweet that they’d do this for each other#because finally they found somebody of equal strength and integrity who can keep up with them#they found somebody like themselves who’s strong enough to hold each other and make them feel precisely small and powerful at the same time#THEY NEED TO DANCE I MEAN IT#don’t worry I don’t think either of them are straight in case you were concerned#I don’t have a single thing to draw on I would make it myself rn if I could#also I’m convinced it wouldn’t turn out well#BUT IM STILL A WRITER I CAN DO THIS#Rise Ramona despite not exsisting gives me so many feelings I wish I was kidding#these turtles got me in a chokehold
