#it was rly fun to draw so u_u

[quinnonimp]

whatre ur thoughts on canto 5 (so far) i need to hear it

OKAY SO gathering my thoughts on it is difficult unfortunately since i focus on getting through all the gameplay first, theeen go back to reread the canto to fully focus on whats going on u_u but !!

the intervallo was fun !!!! lowkey wish it was a real beach episode but obviously that would never happen in limbus (made me want to draw a real one though) . the 3 scrapyarders have a fun dynamic w the team & it was as cute as intervallos usually are (i really love intervallos .. & just general side content . i eat that shit up)

as a splatoon fan ofc ill like the sea aesthetic of it all .. rip ishmael she wouldve loved splatoon . plus fish ice cream is a funny idea im glad charon enjoyed it lmao, was nice to know that her & verg hung out in town

fun to hear saude is alive ! im not particularly attached to any of the npcs but im glad she got promoted . the lccb guy w brown curly hair looks like me and i was surprised when he showed up

i found ishmaels behavior & mindset pretty interesting ! to me shes sort of in the middle tier of characters-i-like - but so far this canto has written her in a very effective way, and i appreciate characters that have an extreme sense of determination & care, and her quest for revenge is compelling

yi sang being seasick is terribly relatable it made me like him more LMAO . i enjoy how much more talkative he is rn even if i dont have a deep connection to his character . my feelings on him after canto 4 have definitely improved (he used to be at the bottom tier together w 2 others 💀), & also bc i got his walpurgisnacht ID and im a huge funeral of the dead butterflies fan ..

I HATE RICARDO 😭😭😭😭 yes its a skill issue . but i also dont rly like his character i dont think hes that funny . being stuck on his stage was genuinely frustrating esp with the thought that the final boss of the canto is gonna be even more difficult . sorry . i know a lot of ppl love him and im sure his stage was fun mechanically to someone

the scene where we learn dante has a self destruct button was so much less sad to me than it shouldve been bc when it was explained i got mega distracted thinking abt barbwire (my oc) ..... woops .. still really liked that scene though . dante holds the number one fave spot together w don for me so im always invested when we get focus on them, and this in particular was impactful, especially with faust being clear about their chances of survival in that moment and the indigo elder telling them to "get used to the idea that not everything can be brought back" . themes of permanence & temporariness are super appealing to me and i love extracting that out of dante

when the indigo elder got revealed i was immediately like "oh yeah dons gonna freak tf out with 2 whole color fixers on the same bus" . i was right . she shouldve been allowed to have a way bigger reaction though i mean this is a huge deal .. anywho i like him ! he might be the npc i find most intriguing so far, and im very interested in seeing him & ishmael interact more

so yeah uhmmmmmmm thats what ive got so far while doing a mirror dungeon . im at 5-32 (shoutout to my friends list for getting me past 5-30), so once ive finished the canto i might add onto this post if u wanna hear more or ask specific things !

i started to try and draw in one of those cutesy anime furry styles u see in modern animation memes a lot bc i thought i wanted to try drawing in it for fun!

but then i realized about halfway thru that it like..didnt feel genuine at all. i think the impulse/desire to draw in that style came from just. wanting to fit into that community u_u its not who i rly am..sighs

i just feel so left out bc nobody rly goes for My furry art style necessarily? at least not in the animation meme community it feels like. everyone's really into that anime-y style which i dont rly have going on. feels bad

im SORRY im sending so many pls dont feel obligated to do any of these. cade or aiser 🦇 or 🐹 (vampire or with their pet). june 👔(formal attire). miki 🎤 or 🐟 (pop star or mermaid). harris 😎 or 👤 (punk or goth attire).

these were so fun!!!! thank u for the prompts!!!! i lov u!!!

cade with his pet: im not super happy with how it came out so i didnt color it im sorry </3 but he adopts a dragon when he’s an adult!!

formal june: she’s not used to wearing fancy clothes but she looks very pretty!!  this was rly helpful for mapping out her sanitization scars too so that’s cool!! (she doesnt have any nice shoes they hurt her feet u_u can u blame her)

popstar miki: i think his is the first time ive ever drawn the missing part of her leg!! which is neat!! i think more popstars with scars would be rly epic!! also i listened to dynamite by bts for like the entire time that i drew her so pretend shes singing that B^)

and fnially punk harris: somehow he still looks annoying and i love him. idk how to draw punk clothes so hopefully i did ok LOL! i figured his normal ink color would stand out a bit too much so i did a nice lil gradient! i didnt realise until too late but its actually a mix of the kid/grown-up splatfest ink colors!!

Ok here's my college AU post. Only the characters from Virtue's Last Reward are in this AU because I played it for way more hours than 999 and kind of got more attached to the characters, and i never played ztd. Also I literally only started and finished 999 and vlr like a month/2 weeks ago............. so sorry if stuff is like really random lsdkjfslkdfjsdf

Alsooooo I don't normally have headcanons for fandom stuff so I guess I don't really know what I'm doing?? Sorry if this isn't interesting at all lmao. Sigma is obviously my huge favorite so this is mostly about how all the characters relate to him I guess HAHA;;

oh also some slight nsfw text here bc the characters are in college and people are horny. just a heads up idk

Sigma

double majoring in electrical engineering and biology

Mostly goofs off and parties and gets trashed all the time, kind of skips class except to take exams

but somehow he's acing all his classes bc he's freakishly good at studying (memorizing)

also a horny fool...... sleeps around all the time...... mostly sleeps w girls

initially id's as straight but he flirts w guys a lot when he's drunk. later comes to terms w being bi

even tho he sleeps around a lot he actually rly likes romance & tenderness & is kinda lonely (but he wouldn't normally admit this idk)

Phi's cousin

Kyle's brother

Akane's lab partner

has a crush on Luna

later also has a crush on Junpei

Friends with Alice and Clover

wants to punch Dio

Luna

On some medical school route at the college, aiming to be a doctor

Kind of lived a sheltered childhood or smth so she doesn't go out partying much and mostly stays in, but she likes to go w everyone when they're partying it up even tho she doesn't really do anything

Has an extremely obvious crush on Sigma that Sigma somehow doesn't know about

She's friends w Phi, Alice, Clover, and Kyle, later friends with Junpei thru Sigma

She wouldn't say it but she doesn't like Dio.

Phi

Sigma's cousin and roommate

she and sigma get on each others' nerves a lot but ultimately rely on each other for a lot of stuff and are good friends

Friends with Luna, Alice, Clover, and Akane

Oh I guess she's Kyle's cousin too. Idk I never really thought about if they get long.

Idk at all what her major should be tho if anyone has any suggestions lmk.

Alice

Another one that idk what she's studying. Criminology??

In an open relationship w Clover, closest to Clover out of the whole cast

Friends-with-benefits w Sigma (men get pegged™)

Friends with Luna and Phi, sort of friends with Dio (and Kyle by extension) because they had a class together once but also kind of hates him because he's obnoxious.

Clover

Studying the same thing as whatever Alice is studying (criminology I guess? idk)

In an open relationship with Alice, closest to Alice out of the whole cast

sheeee's not really fwb w/ Sigma, she only ever does sexy stuff w him if Alice is there OR if Sigma's in feminine clothes (but even then the two of them are not really a thing idk)

Oh but on that note she and Sigma like to go partying together & she likes to dress him up in trendy/cute clothes when they go out bc it's fun

She's bi but greatly prefers girls and feminine people

Friends with Luna and Phi, but usually more quiet around them if Alice isn’t around

Dio

Psychology major

idk why he's in this friend group I guess he made his way in thru Alice lsdkfjssdf he's not particularly close or on good terms with anyone except Kyle tho. People don't really like him much bc he comes off really flippant and arrogant

Really desperate to be cool and popular, throws a lot of parties 

Friends with/has a crush on Kyle; usually his personality is more toned down when they're hanging out one-on-one

Kyle

Philosophy major

Doesn't really get along well w/ Sigma bc he thinks Sig's rly irresponsible and obnoxious

Sigma also doesn't rly like Kyle bc he thinks Kyle's rly pretentious

Friends-ish with Luna but also gets annoyed at her when she talks too much about Sigma

Friends with Akane, trusts her w a lot of stuff

Friends with/has a crush on Dio

He and Dio get along bc they're both constantly having existential/identity crises about being the uncool sibling in their family lgksdfslnglsdkfj

Doesn't really party with everyone

also i think he’s gay idk

Akane

Biology and neuroscience double major

Sigma's lab partnerJunpei's childhood friend

loves 2 roast sigma

she and phi are the roast sigma committee :)

Her personality here is most like she is in 999 because idk what she's like in ztd

Friends with Phi and maybe Luna? She’s not as connected to the rest of the cast.

oh but she’s friends with Kyle and listens to him rant about how everything sucks for him

Junpei

Biology and neuroscience double major

Childhood friends with Akane, used to have a crush on her but not rly anymore (sorry y'all sdlfsjldfk)

Meets Sigma thru Akane in the bio lab one day

he's bi, kind of inadvertently helps sigma work thru his sexuality too

Has a crush on Sigma

Becomes good friends with Luna

Is kinda friends with everyone else but not as close as they are to each other? idk

Idk I heard his personality in ztd is edgy so he's kinda edgy/closed off in personality here compared to 999??? Technically I guess his personality should be most similar to old man Tenmyouji since this is a vlr AU but honestly i'm just freestylin when i draw Junpei ksdjfsldfkj

Other notes:

There's not really a plot or anything in this AU other than just romance/relationship nonsense, hahaha;; This all is basically just so I can draw the vlr characters having a stupid fun time instead of being depressed on the moon.

Quark's not here because he's 10............ idk how he'd fit in here slkdjfskfsdj maybe Junpei babysits him

Also my endgame ship (?) in this whole nonsense AU is luna/sigma/junpei which i think literally no one ships except me but.......... you have to trust me.......... please trust me it's good................ i'll be doodling some stuff of them at some point hopefully.

Their dynamic is basically this:

w/ Sigma in the middle. (this pic is via someone on twitter, unfortunately i can't find the original tweet u_u)

altho luna and junpei are kind of intimate w each other i think when it's just the two of them together they're basically just good friends who trust each other a lot & they both rly love sigma. & sigma loves both of them

ANYWAY that’s basically everything, sorry it’s all nonsense & if you don’t vibe with some of this stuff that’s fine this is just for me;;; 

in conclusion: i want sigma to be loved and cherished and have a good time in college

on this week’s episode of yakuzaifying my hw,,,

alright alright last weeks class was kinda on foreshortening?? and how to overlap body parts / exaggerating size w perspective to make a more “dynamic” pic lol did u mean: things i cannot do anyways he gave a short lecture and we did some quick drawings,, i actually had a bunch i liked (cuz we had a fem model and i find fem bodies easier to draw than male bodies aa) but i couldnt rly construct a good scene w any of the individual poses??? wtf

just did another knife fight lmfao but hoooo boi get a load of this like do u see how the person in the foreground is kind of up upwards view while majima unnie is a straight on to slightly downwards view aowdmopefsrg LMFAO ok but i couldnt get it to work so oops also the actual poses were wayy less distorted but since our class was on exaggeration i thought i might as well go and try incorporating that?? lmao big mistakey idk im super noob at anything dynamic so i just kind of?? tried my best but shit does that look wonky LOL like not terrible but idk just a lil weird, like the more i look, the more off it seems but i also am unsure what to fix artist problems amirite¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

but then again im not like super bothered by it?? whack perspective is cool and all i’d love to be able to do it properly but this is fine im more concerned w other things atm aa plus araki isnt super strict w his characters being on same views either lol like

bruno is a downshot while jolyne is almost straight on? but the whole thing works araki is just powering through w his crazy beautiful style lol plus the characters look kinda like theyre floating? its surreal n looks nice u_u

the most recent manga i’ve looked at is bnha and i remember rly liking some of horikoshi’s dynamic panels, like this is my fave one

aw yeee look at that hand, that tilted head oooo looks soo good~~~~ goals af

ok anyways remember how i like girls? well i also like majima so combine to get majima unnie and wow i am gay she’d still have the undercut and wowowow big lov undercuts look sooo good on girls tbh 11/10 a Look. also i was taking w a few friends abt this but would majima unnie have a shirt, crop top, bra/bralette, or bandages??? i've seen all of the above and tried all 3 but honestly, the bandages looked the best even tho im not a huge fan that kinda thing.... its like super dangerous to bind w those (or tape yikes) so nonono me no likey but aesthetically? looks cool... edgy.. maybe u could just not?? wrap it too tightly???????? (but wat if they come off haha) also who tf has time to wrap bandages anywhere every day???? related: i also am unsure y some furyo / delinquents(?) / yankees in animanga have bandages on their waist??????? u kno wat im walking abt?

(source) like that looks heckin cool but whats it for????????? back support? @_@ also speaking of majima unnie have u seen https://twitter.com/koshimoro/status/762137827077459968 wow.... that crop jacket is too good... and the black suit + wine shirt? iconic.

like y does that back tat look so good on her??? tbt 2011 when i watched warrior baek dong soo holy shit the girl w the map on her back? 13 y/o me was gay for her w.o even knowing it

hanbok + cute girl + back tat = god tier aes

ok those 2 pink ones were what i based my hw on u can see i took hella artistic liberty loool (like changing the whole arm on the far right pose,, it looked like she was dabbing;;;)

anyways ya idk have i ever drawn one good thing in my life haha at least its kinda fun if i force it to be ykz as usual im gonna have a stroke once i have to actually show it to the class yeesh >_<;;; i think i’ll maybe collect a few more assignments before posting them full size in bulk?? (aaa i still have to fix last week’s one... i liked the ballet au... makoto looked like a princes.. that majima however? big yike L OL)

gonna talk abt career stuff for a bit here

ive been doing some thinking (ok i’ll be real its been only a little while but the thought hit me Real hard) and i honestly..dont know if i want to be a character designer as my career. idk if thats what i really want.  i enjoy designing characters, yes, but only for myself?  when its other people’s stuff i dont rly take interest or find as much fun in doing it.  idk if itd be as fulfilling as id thought originally

i think the conclusion ive come to is that i want to make a living doing my own thing. i wanna make a living off my own art, be it prints or merch or comics or anything along those lines.  i think thats whatll make me the most happy in life

i know very well how hard it is to pull this off tho.  im trying patreon and commissions but theyre bringing in basically scraps (and i know thats probably got to do with the pandemic rn as well but still).  i know a lot of artists struggle to do it as well

the thing is im in a position where i have the luxury of being able to just..exist? and do my own thing?  im very privileged in that i have a place to live that i dont have to pay for (yet) and i have the ability to just do my thing as i want to.  i dont want to waste that privilege u_u im going to try getting out there more and making a living off my art somehow

so ya thats where im at rn.  im currently taking a break from commissions and just trying to figure out how to draw for myself right now so itll be a minute before i get back into the swing of things but yeah

5, 13, and 27 for the artist ask!

5. What’s your favorite thing to draw?people. more specifically,,, eyelashes / brows r p fun..

13. Do you prefer to keep your art personal, or do you like drawing things for other people?hmm more on the personal side cuz i like drawing stuff i want, but i also like drawing for others too cuz it feels rly Nice u_u but i only have so much time & energy so in an ideal situation, 5:1 ratio of personal to other!!

27. For digital artists: how many layers does a typical piece require? i like using a lot, but i also merge frequently cuz having too many gives me anxiété so hmmm idk 10~20?? 

tysm for sending a q, anon ;^)
