trying to figure out procreate so i can do at least some sketches while running around away from my computer lately oTL

some nonsense w/ one of my Lavellans (they/them) and Solas and the definitely real-in-my-heart latest pic sent to the inner circle group chat. Casual Royal Elfroot use is casual and definitely medically advised 🌱👀

WIP Ask Game List of Shame

I was tagged by @commander-krios (tysm uwu!)

I'm tagging (but no pressure!) @hanarinhightown @yellingaboutmasseffect @ferusaurelius @a-cosmic-elf @lethalhoopla @buskies @that-wildwolf @blueboxness-art and @whoever else wants to join

I don't usually do tag games bc I keep forgetting to reply to them and when I remember 3-5 months later I feel guilty.

(Yes, it happened with this one as well and no, we're not going to talk about it 👀)

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and I’ll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it. And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

you have single-handedly given me the inspiration/motivation to go back and finish this one drawing I started:

the aerial/circus arts are absolutely top tier pose inspiration, can confirm

needing to be stronger than you seem is such an accurate way to put it! Like - without trying it, if you consider it for even a second, of course you'd assume that it would take a lot of strength. But man it isn't until you try it - and keep working at it - that you realize just what it means to have the strength to move in the air on your chosen apparatus with both power and grace.

the aerial arts require full-body mastery and strength-- or at the very least, you'll certainly achieve it in the long run the more dedicated you are to learning the different apparatuses!

I really am obsessed with the aerial arts now (I'm currently practicing primarily in lyra - the hoop - and in silks, but I also love doing aerial straps and hope to learn the cordelisse/aerial rope someday soon!) (also starting to work on my handstands/acrobatic inversions, that's a whole other gorgeous challenge). The way your relationship with your own body changes... it's hard to put to words. Navigating space takes on such an increasingly active frame of mind and reference, while also becoming so meditative and full of the potential for entering that beloved flow state - just hngh I love it. I watch videos of other aerialists of all levels a lot now, and the appreciation I have for every step of the process is so real. Plus the gratification you feel when you finally gain the strength and stability and/or flexibility to nail something you've been working at-! And man, the community is so lovely, I haven't met a single other aerialist yet that wouldn't openly cheer in the middle of a practice for someone else managing a new move or finessing a long-worked-at one.

And lemme tell you the potential for application to OC/blorbos of your choosing.....................

from a scene of one catching the other in the middle of their movement in the air, the performer yet unaware of how they are watched by a suddenly deeply affected, previously-unknowing love interest.... to one in the middle of a sudden disaster, a ball or mansion or other big even on fire/attacked, using ropes or heavy curtains to quickly and gracefully climb up to a new level or descend with flair and grace and safe yet undeniable speed-- or perhaps merely the infinite potential of all the in-air poses and movements and mesmerizing shapes and positions an OC/fave can be depicted, and all the emotion that could possibly hold.........

hngh.

currently thinking about how fun and common it is to write Things You Are Into/Knowledgeable About into fics (or draw into art/comics, etc) but how quickly wild it can get depending on the level of niche interest

eg, i remember to this day a fic that was quite solid across the board, an entertaining though not mind-blowing ride— but it had the most in-depth and fascinating descriptions of *specific* leather tooling techniques. Leather work was not at all the focus of the plot. Just deeply worked in via a hobby or side necessity of the adventure that had the most loving descriptions ever and it was really clear what hobby the author had- and I loved it haha.

my current personal example is Oops, I Am an Aerialist Now and That Is Deeply Obviously An Author Insert Interest in any given fic lmao. How many Fancy 2 Story Curtains with Strong Anchoring can I work into a fic…….. how many curiously 3ish foot steel hoops hanging from a strap is too many…… a suspicious number of secure but loose ended vertical ropes is normal right………………… Chekhov’s rigging……………..

✨Wip Wednesday✨

I was tagged by @greypetrel and @shivunin thanks luvs ;; you’re the best!!!

I don’t really have anything major to show / work on this week, since I just finished all the priority projects I was developing (the bookmarks came out super pretty ;; and both the holy cards are like, my favorite things I've ever drawn!!)

But! I’m slowly progressing on the outfit thingie and the revamp pic I showed here so there is that! I’ll finish these during the weekend since I finally have more time to draw freely ;; eeep! Looking forward to that!

I’m tagging: @demandthedoodles @underneathestars​ @star--nymph​ @idolsgf​ @daggerbean​ @gvnseylike​ @lethalhoopla​ @bruxbea​ @n7viper​ and everyone whose name starts with P! Don’t feel pressured into doing this, really <3 you owe me nothing and life is already hard without an annoying stranger asking for stuff :’D have a virtual basket of cherries and my appreciation 💛🍒

[lethalhoopla]

more passionate nonbinary Lavellan makeouts should exist js

[lethalhoopla]

lil late night solavellan wip + solas face studies off to the side

been hankering to animate again so I roughed out a setup to base it off of, thought I'd ease back into it with.... objectively more finicky small movements and small interactions, oops lmao. can't resist a stolen stairwell moment, what can I say (￣ヮ￣|||)ゞ

[lethalhoopla]

learning,,,, or at least fucking around and finding out mostly things about Painting While Zoomed In Is Buffoonery But At Least Style Is Kinda Happening

[lethalhoopla]

Bit by bit,,,

her..........

[lethalhoopla]

i'm gonna-

i'm gonna figure this painting shit out, dammit

[lethalhoopla]

attempting to teach myself how to 1) paint* (*again) and 2) paint a la the style(s) you see in DA:I tarot cards/murals and! i’m dying!

but hey at least  i have an outlet for How Many Feelings i’ve been left with after Trespasser DLC (╮°-°)╮┳━━┳ ( ╯°□°)╯ ┻━━┻

[lethalhoopla]

when I wake my computer up after being afk for a bit sometimes I realize I have left myself a little gift in the form of Being Greeted By My Favorite Turian

[lethalhoopla]

so wait did i read correctly are u also a fan of c-rowles volus?? are you still planning to draw *eyes emoji* (no pressure or anything - i just love them and c-rowles is a genius and also you are very big brained too, i was really excited to see someone else say they not only love them too but want to draw them)

awww thanks haha! agreed, @c-rowlesdraws is extremely genius (and makes gorgeous art & has stellar concepts). her volus design has been living in my brain rent-free ever since!

and yep I'm working on a lil Siwa Rusk fanart _(┐「ε:)_♡

[lethalhoopla]

RIP to wanting to set up background for your silly short comic but having your scene take place in the friggin SR2 Engineering Bay....

The eye totally passes over this panel in 3 seconds tops and yet I spent an hour doing the simple bg lines;;; I just want to draw Garrus / Tali / Shep shenanigans why must I be Extra

[lethalhoopla]

WIP of page 2 (of 8) from a Shep-Tali-Garrus comic I’m making. It’s gonna take me a hot minute to finish it, but I just really liked how this page was turning out and wanted to share the wip early ┐(´∀｀)┌ 

Don’t we all wish we could be calibrated,,,

[lethalhoopla]

sorry for not posting much art lately, been caught between work exhaustion and also mainlining dragon age since the beginning of July and i’m just descending into madness, promise to be back with more bioware blorbos soon

[lethalhoopla]

... you ever accidentally got hooked on the bridgerton musical and you end up creating a mild AU just to make a Shakarian Burn For You animatic? No??? Yeah, that sounds more reasonable than whatever possessed me.

[WIPest of WIPs,, mostly possessed by the animating bug and needed to get SOMETHING down]
