oh I desperately need drives for different things jesus christ
#I can’t keep just backing up all my shit over and over again#and having Several duplicates of things#I gotta start sorting things#like art goes here photos here and art ref there#and then I clear out my desktop completely!!!#and then that way the next back up is just New Things y’know???#and rinse and repeat#I know I should go through and sort things Now and remove the duplicates#but I have like a good 5-7 years worth of backups on this drive#and that would literally take me Forever#and there’s stuff I’ve since deleted so like I can’t just delete older backups#because they have things I like to go back and look at every now and then y’know????#it would be easier and faster to save up for a few new hard drives and start the new process idea with them#anyway#starting to think I may have hoarding tendencies.#(I know I do.

BEST-FRIEND!NAMJOON who has a matching necklace with rings from your favorite drink cans. you thought those necklaces were made when you were 15 years old. 16? no, 17. yes, 18 for sure. it was something simple, very insignificant, but for you and Namjoon it was memories of two days full of sun and joy. in each necklace there was a new promise of eternal friendship and infinite love. it was as if those necklaces were the rings of your friendship. you never took them off. and whenever you needed that extra strength or comfort, it was by holding your necklaces that you found a little peace. “i’ll be honest with you. i don’t remember when we made our necklaces. all i remember is your huge smile when you put on yours. and to be honest, that’s all i need to remember.”
BEST-FRIEND!NAMJOON who pretended to marry you on your last day of high school and still has the vows he made to you. you knew that your paths would separate with the arrival of adulthood, but neither of you wanted to lose that special friendship. so, as if to celebrate the love between you, you and Namjoon faked a small ceremony in the garden of his house, where vows were exchanged and sealed with a tight hug. neither of you would disappear, you would just keep growing together. “i promise that our paths will meet again and when that happens, i will come to you with a suitcase full of my love for you. i promise that i will see you again and i will have my heart empty of missing you.”
BEST-FRIEND!NAMJOON who does embarrassing photoshoots to give you as postcards at christmas. when you took that photo of Namjoon at the beginning of high school and just teased him that he looked like he had never seen a camera in his life, Namjoon took your words as a challenge. so, every year without fail, Namjoon would do a small photoshoot where he would pose as if the art of photography was a science too complex to be understood. always signing the postcards with words too sweet for the photographs used, you looked forward to christmases just because you would receive that piece of intimacy from your best friend. “merry christmas to you and me. here’s your annual postcard. i don't know how to exist. i hope this makes you smile. stay well.”
BEST-FRIEND!NAMJOON who has written down in a notebook all the promises you made to each other. from the day you started a friendship, promises started to be exchanged. small things like taking his first car ride with you, or giving handmade gifts until you were twenty-five, you and Namjoon had a long list of hopes that graced your friendship. with each promise fulfilled, Namjoon crossed it out with the date it was fulfilled. but those long-term promises, those promises that lasted a lifetime, those were the ones that graced the first page in Namjoon’s notebook; after all, there is nothing more beautiful and hopeful than “i promise to love you until the day the earth eats me. and even then i will return in the form of flowers to show my eternal love for you — N.”
BEST-FRIEND!NAMJOON who saves you whenever you have a date that goes wrong. whenever you went on a date and it was going badly or was really uncomfortable, Namjoon didn’t mind pretending to be your very sick grandfather or your little sister who had a nightmare. all it took was a message from you for Namjoon to come up with a story that would justify your absence. changing his voice, status and name, Namjoon always made sure you had a way out of that date, always waiting for you at the door of your house to have ice cream with you on your couch. “remember if you need a way out, just send me a text. i can be everything you need, just say the word. i hope you have fun and remember, i’m always here.”
BEST-FRIEND!NAMJOON who is always the first to wish you a happy birthday. Namjoon always made sure to do two things: be the first to send you a happy birthday message and the first to call you to sing you the happy birthday song. when your special day arrived, a long and sincere message found refuge in your inbox and, before you even managed to open the message, Namjoon was already calling you to wish you a happy birthday. between Namjoon’s tender voice and his gentle words, you were starting your birthday with a little encouragement and happiness — that day was going to go good, Namjoon had promised you that. “happy birthday, sunshine. i know your day will be fantastic because you will be with me, but still, i hope the day goes well for you. remember that i love you very much and that the world is a better place because you are in it.”
BEST-FRIEND!NAMJOON who had no problem declaring himself to you because he knew it was reciprocal. when the time was right, Namjoon declared himself to you without nerves or beating around the bush. he knew you like no one else. he knew everything about you, including your feelings. so when he realized that his love was desperate to find shelter in your soul, it was with calmness and affection that Namjoon spoke to you. with bright eyes and a wide smile, Namjoon just looked at you and confessed. “ i like you. i dare say i love you. and i know you feel the same, so thank you for taking care of me and my heart. i know that with you i am in good hands.”

I, a very white and somewhat privileged person, am absolutely terrified to draw colored people. Because I don’t know if I’d cross the thin line of tasteful and authentic or racist and stereotypical…
Lol for starters don't refer to us as coloured people. This ain't 1955. Secondly my best advice to you is to use references of actual people of color. I would highly recommend staying away from those white men art station youtuber type artists for tutorials because they get a majority of their techniques and style from main stream video games and comic books, which to put it nicely don't have the best reputation for representing women and poc. tangent over, so yeah references. real life photographs of brown and black people.
pinterest is a site that a lot of current, especially younger artists like to use, but in all honesty it's not a very good source for someone trying to learn the fundamentals. it'll mainly show you 20 something year old ig and twitter models which is okay if you wanna just draw pretty people; but not the best if you wanna like I said learn fundamentals + have a portfolio that's varied. also it's rife with ai shit and stolen art, so yeah would only recommend that as an initial starting point/using it to make your own personal board for your saved images.
stock photo sites are my go to for refs. getty images, istock, alamy, etc. a simple right click save image or screenshot will work to get the images you want for free. of course there will be the watermarks, but they're honestly a very small issue to bypass. as long as they're not opaque and nearly covering the entire subject; you're good. a nice thing about stock photo sites is they usually give you the option to filter the image search results. say for instance you want to draw an elderly asian woman cooking or a young black man painting a picture or an indigenous child playing with dolls. you can look up certain terms you want in the search bar & specify gender, age and ethnicity to narrow down your search to what you want.
another awesome place for references i discovered during college is posespace.com
like with getty images, it gives you the option to filter your searches. they also have their models in clothed or nude shoots in the event that you want to practice some bare bones anatomy.
also also, get your info from artists of color. there's a decent amount of tutorials ive found over the years on here and youtube on coloring skintones, drawing certain hair types, how to avoid caricatures and stereotyping, different facial features, cultural hairstyles. the list goes on. don't be afraid to depict people outside of your race. literally just go about drawing us the same way you would a white person. don't be scared, as long as you remain respectful and make an honest effort to learn; you'll do fine.
resource links by and from artists of color:
'how i draw south + southeast asian people'
an example of what to avoid when stylizing east asian characters
'drawing asian people, source: i'm asian'
'lessons from drawing I: what is asian anyways?'
'how to draw indians'
'how to draw arabs'
'How I draw skin Part 2: DON”T DRAW NATIVE PEOPLE WITH RED SKIN!!!! A tutorial' (the link to the first part of this tutorial is broken sorry)
How to Draw Native People: a Tutorial/Reference Guide
How to Draw Black People by peachdeluxe
tips for drawing black people by rosheruu
drawing east asian faces by chuwenjie
how to draw black people series by Artistik Freedom (youtube)
✏️How I draw black hairstyles (simple) 🌱 by Likelihood Art (youtube)
there's also a bunch of black and brown artists on twitter and tiktok, so checking those sites for tutorials would be a good additional resource
good luck on your illustrating melanin endeavors 👍🏾

A painting- or at least, a photo of one.
There's a letter attached.
Dear Makoto,
How are you?
I'm sorry you had to miss out this year.
We got a Smeargle to take a little sketch of us to send to you instead, hope this makes you feel better.
He said that it'd be better if we were all fully in frame next time, but I don't know what he meant by that... We're all there, aren't we? Regardless, though.
I do hope Aigiel's getting better... I know you haven't gotten an update in a while, but I'm sure she's fine- the girl's taken a fair few falls, and gotten up anyways.
For new additions to the group this year, though...
Ephim finally convinced Minato to tag along. (I don't know what they're doing in the photo either, but I think some part of him was enjoying it too.)
A new pair- Safira and Higashi, bottom left of it. I gave talking to them a try, and they seemed familiar somehow nice. Apparently they helped stop the natural disasters of the air continent.
There's also Feysara, the Eevee girl- that's her talking to Auren on the right. She's polite, if a bit quiet at times. I have a feeling you'll like her.
Well, hope you're doing alright, partner.
Happy New Year. I'm glad we made it this far.
With love,
Minami
Well. Happy New Year!
This post has been set to go up at sometime in the afternoon/evening of the 31st, meaning this is some of this year's last hours.
So, I'd like to thank you while I still have time.
Thank you all for everything you've done for me, for being so friendly, for caring as much as you have- I don't think I'd be here without all of you.
Now, for some more fun stuff- I don't have refs or anything but I can at least give a lowdown on the picture.
Chronoconvergence is my current idea for a collective name for my PMD stuff, likely to be replaced once I think of something better, but it stands for now. ...I am still too lazy to update tags though.
As said in the letter, Ephim the Lucario is doing ...whatever that is with Minato (Bulbasaur) on the left, with Safira (Skitty) and Higashi (Wooper) talking with Minami (Grovyle, yes, The Grovyle PMD2) right below.
Taking center stage are Everus (Fraxure) and Spark (Ninetales), my Gates team, with Ephris (Mew) hovering close by alongside Serri (Celebi, again, yes, The Celebi PMD2). also nearby is Feysara standing far off to the right
Lastly, is one that might require a bit of explanation- Auren (Dusknoir, you know the drill) talking with... Feysara, the Eevee mentioned in the letter. Just one small problem. Feysara is someone else's name.
Well, Feys (as I've effectively renamed her) is the protagonist of the fic I've been trying to write for a while now called An Empty Reflection which is also meant to serve as the opening act to a grander story called New Future's Dawn. Her story is yet to be told, but I hope to do so soon!
I want to promise when my next big thing or whatever will be but really, I'm probably gonna end up liveblogging Vivid/Stasis Chapter 5 for a bit so I might be occupied with that. As this goes up, I'm probably just finishing up what is effectively meant to be me re-familiarizing myself with the game as a whole.
But just know that writing is not abandoned, and art is not abandoned, both just planned to be pushed to the side as I write this. I'm probably at least thinking of writing by the time you're reading this, so not all hope is lost.
And as a last note... This combination of characters being alive and such is not canon, even if we all (or at least I) wished otherwise. Well, Happy New Year. It's been a hell of a ride so far and I can only hope it gets better from here.

-*- Information -*-
This is Selena Harris, she’s a former member of the army (Went by Iris, MWD Handler) and is currently part of Shadow Company (10-13). She’s 24 years old (4/12/2000, M/D/Y). She speaks English and Spanish (vaguely understands telgu as her mother is Indian). She had a mostly normal childhood until her father literally got hit by a car in front of her when she was 14 and dying, then fell in with the wrong group of people and ended up having no purpose. Ended up joining the U.S. Army at 18 for the sake of it, got her life in order and joined Shadow Company at 23 (she she’s a fairly new arrival).
She’s incredibly touch aversive and one of her habits is that when some misbehaves around her, her brain immediately goes into ‘bad dog’ type mode and scolds people like they’re a naughty dog (it’s engrained in her from her MWD days and the fact their family used to volunteer at an animal shelter, they still do just less nowadays).

So I came from your insta and saw that you improved quite a lot over two years. I’m in an art rut right now and was wondering your tactics for learning to draw different positions and poses? And fabric? I’m just curious since you don’t have speed draws on YT.
oh thank you!
in the past two years, i think what's helped me improve the most is learning the balance of keeping consistency without taking myself too seriously. i find that when i'm in a rut or i feel like i've stagnated, it's bc i'm too in my head and i'm forgetting to have fun. bc yes, technical skill is good to acquire, but creativity is, in my opinion, more important of a priority because that's where the art comes from. the technical skill is just the tool to help the art get made, so hone it, but don't treat it like it's everything. it's no good being able to draw a bunch of cool stuff if you don't have the spoons to draw any of it or if you're so burned out, you can't even come up with ideas.
on the more technical side though, for me, study and practice time are when i focus on repetition so i can build muscle memory. if i'm studying from references (and not feeling lazy lol) i'll draw each ref at least 2 or 3 times to get those reps in, drawing fast and sketchy, just doing as many as i can. this really helps with things you'll draw over and over again like clothing folds. my hand will start to just have a better intuitive sense for the shapes instead of agonizing over each one cuz i've drawn it enough times. when i'm sketching, it helps me to fall back on that muscle memory so i can put more focus to other aspects of whatever it is i'm drawing.
it's about finding a balance really.. if i study too much, i never actually implement the things i learn but if i study too little, then my work stagnates and all looks the same. finding that balance for yourself will go alone way! when i'm in an art block, what i need just really goes back to remembering to enjoy the process and finding that spark again. if i'm not enjoying my art, then i gotta switch something up.
here are some other things i like to do for practice:
redraw screenshots/stills from my fav shows or manga (good way to study poses, anatomy, and scene composition w/o it feeling too serious.)
or pick a show/movie/comic and choose a character i like. draw them 3-5 times, copying the art style to a T then draw them again in my own style to see what elements i wanna take away from it. (again, a good way to study without Studying. i end up leaving the experience with new staples for my art style)
find fashion photo references and draw my ocs in the outfits.
switch up what i'm drawing with. like if i'm mostly draw in pencil, switch to only pen. if i'm doing digital, i put my go-to brushes in a new folder, don't touch them, then sketch with a brush i never reach for. just change one little thing and see how it affects the process. usually i discover something new.
i wrote a list of things i like to draw on the front page of my sketchbook (just stream of consciousness, wrote down like 100 things i like to draw. ex: oranges, apples, snails, leaves.) and when i don't know what to draw, i close my eyes and point to something then draw whatever i comes up.
hope this helps!!

Back when the Legend of Korra finale first aired, I was a little baby gay and had a different tumblr which I believe I deleted. On said tumblr, I think I mentioned vaguely that I had an idea for fankids for them
It's been 9 years since I deleted that tumblr. It's going to be 10 years since the finale this December. The release of the (underwhelming) live action Last Airbender has brought me back to a show that truly changed my life, and made me feel seen as a queer, mixed native kid (I'm a quarter, my grandpa was full)
So. Here's a little post about those ocs, who I found in my old seventh grade french notes (I never paid attention in that class lmao)
Anyways!y Korrasami kids. Let's go over them
Hiroto Sato (Ref age 16)
So I imagine that once their lives were stable, that they'd want to have a baby. Asami would carry in my mind, just because Korra would be all worried about how her body would handle it after the poisoning thing. However, their plans go, twisted. Cause they have twins
Their first born is their son, named after Hiroshi Sato, though Asami didn't want to directly name him after her father because her feelings would be still complicated. So, Hiroto. He goes by Hiro, mostly, and he's a fire bender
His eyes are a dark brown/grey, and he keeps his hair at a sort of medium length? It curls slightly around his ears, and he'd need glasses starting at age 14. He likes warm, comfy clothes
Hiro isn't very physically, well, talented. He's clumsy, trips over his own feet sometimes, the kind of person who's thinking so hard he smacks into polls and apologizes to them. He'd nervously chew on the skin of his thumb as he works. Hiro's an awkward guy, not great at conversation. He's always had a knack for art, and wants to become a city planner. He's not a great bender, but he does like helping out in the kitchen
Yasuko Sato (Ref age 16)
Their only daughter and youngest bio child, it's younger twin Yasuko! Korra chose her name. She knows how much Asami's mom meant to her, and honestly, the baby looked a lot like the old photos of Yasuko. As much as a baby can, at least. Like her brother, she's a fire bender
She's nearly a carbon copy of Asami. Green eyes, wavy black hair, though she smiles a little crooked. She keeps her hair up in a high pony, and even though she needs glasses like her brother, she rarely wears them. She forgets them more often then not, and just takes his to read momentarily. She's, like, "sleeves? Never heard of them"
Yasuko showed real promise in fire bending when Korra first started teaching her, so she decided to get both twins a proper teacher. Yasuko wanted to be a hero like her Moma, and grew up wanting to help people. Her goal is to be a fire fighter! She's the funny friend, always makes others smile, a jokester
Kova Sato (Ref age 19)
So, the next three are all adopted. There was a disaster type happening in the furthest parts of the Northern Water Tribe, and Korra went to help in the aftermath. After helping with search and rescue efforts, she goes to visit the injured to sort of, give them hope
That's where she meets Kova. He's 9 at the time, yet he was working hard to use his water bending to help heal alongside the elder women. She talks to him while handing out some food shipped in from Republic City, and finds out he lost his parents, and has been looking after his younger brother
Long story short, both boys return to the city with her, and Asami ends up understanding why her wife couldn't leave them behind
Kova is a big guy. He's mixed water tribe earth nation, so while he's got dark skin, his eyes are a dark green, and his hair is messy, dark brown. Quiet guy, but tall for his age. Real gentle, there's a reason he has an affinity for healing. He's got little sun freckles too!
He's great with words. He's a blooming poet, writing the stories people tell him during healing sessions. Incredibly kind, loves the idea of memories making someone immortal. The first poems he writes are of his birth parents, and the second? Of his mom's, and his siblings.
Haoyu Sato (Ref age 12)
He's Kova's younger brother, and was only 2 when Korra took them in and brought them to Republic City.
Haoyu is just paler than his older brother, with darker, messier hair, and blue eyes. His smile is bright, pure joy and energy. He's an endless ball of energy, and reminds his mom's and grandparents of a young Korra; he knows he's hot shit. He's an earth bender, starting at age 6
He's obsessed with pro bending. But, he doesn't dream of being an athlete, but an announcer. Reading is tough for him, and he struggles a bit in school, but when he comes home each day, he's surrounded by love, and care. Asami is always happy to sit with him and help him make sense of his school work, gentle, kind, and patient
I imagine he'd wear someone like a hoodie and soft puffy pants, the kind that end above the ankle.
Gyaltsen Sato (Ref age 5)
The youngest, and again, not exactly a planned adoption. His mother was a newer air acolyte, and she didn't make it through the birth. Tenzin asked Korra and Asami to look after baby Gyaltsen away from the busy temple until someone could take him in, but, the mom's got attached
Just barely darker than Asami and the twins, Gyaltsen has the lightest hair in the family, and the darkest eyes. He's an airbender who shows extreme potential, and is one of Jinora's most promising young students
He's got this spark for life. Everything is so cool to him, so amazing, it's rare for him to be disappointed by something. He feels things strongly, and his Moma Korra sits with him to meditate and talk about his big feelings
He's still very young and growing up, so he's got time to become himself
--
ANYWAYS. THERE THEY ARE. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
#avatar#avatar the legend of korra#tlok#korrasami#avatar korra#asami sato#fankids#hiro sato#yasuko sato#kova sato#haoyu sato#Gyaltsen sato

*waves shyly*
Hello, guys, beginner artist here! I recently started playing HPMA & I loved it so much, especially the art! So I wanted to try making a ref sheet for my character lol!
Special thanks goes to @amoexii for the template!:3
Evie is energetic, enthusiastic, & friendly. Her curiosity & imaginative nature makes her eager to experience & try out new things & share them with her friends. She is always up for an adventure often dragging her friends along for a fun ride! She tends to get easily distracted (which is probably why she has unfinished projects & either forgets about it or promises to finish it later. p.s. she probably never gets back to it lol ) She's willing to break the rules in order to gain an advantage or to keep her friends safe.
Some extra info on Evie
Her favorite color is blue.
Favorite sweets are Chocolate Frogs & Sugar Quills. Least fav are Bertie Botts.
She's a decent photographer, snapping pics of mostly her friends & nature. She either gives them to Lottie for her art or puts them in her photo album.
Loves creatures very much! Can't choose between unicorns or dragons as her most fav. When in CoMC class, she likes to talk to the creatures affectionately.
She sometimes carries a small bag filled with owl treats for her pet Barn Owl companion, Eglantine.
If she could, she would bring Pancake, her pet corgi bestie, along to Hogwarts with her. She often misses her floofy baby. :')
She has a stuffed dragon named Blaze which she keeps in her dorm. Acts as a sense of comfort to her.
her in the game
i wrote too much omg sorry lol! tbh, I'm still figuring her out & all that so this might not be the final thing hahaha!
#also im not 100% sure about her name lmao#idk if sounds too cheesy or cringey#hpma#hpma mc#hpma oc#hp magic awakened#harry potter magic awakened#my art#art#digital art#i wish i could draw hair 😭#i suck at shading 🥲#why is art so hard 😭#harry potter#tumblr ruining the image quality why??? :')

Hey there!
I've been a long time follower of yours (maybe like 3+ years? I don't really know it's been a while!) and I just want to say how beautiful your art is!
It's all so full of soul and expression and it's so so so good to look at !!!
I want to ask, as an up and coming artist myself, how you draw animals so well? Any tips that can make drawing them easier or smth like that? My focus is gonna be on anthros but any tips I'll take if you're willing to share haha
I hope you're doing okay, by the way :) wishing everything goes well for you dude 🙏 thank you for posting your wonderful art here and take care :}
aw thank you first of all ヾ(•ω•`)o
second, it's mostly the unfortunate thing of "i've been drawing these pieces for like eight years now", though one thing that i really sort of focused on was shapes and silhouettes. circles and stuff that you kind of shave or build off. also refs. this can also apply to anthros/humans but imo that's usually harder. then again i'm better with animals than humans so w/e
sorry i don't have anything Amazing to suggest, outside of also like. trace photos lmao. you can trace them/outline said shapes to understand them better, then try to recreate it beside it also i focused on learning skulls/teeth for different animals because they're pretty different!

Arendelle Castle Rooms Part 4 | Analysis
In part 3, we explore the swing, the royal garden, the gallery and the library.
1. The swing
(ref: "For the first time in forever" in 'Frozen' | "Making today a perfect day" in 'Frozen Fever')
The swing inside the grounds of the castle, is just after the three knights done the hall of the spiral steps. It also appears in Frozen Fever when Elsa gives Anna as one of her many gifts, a sandwich baguette! And I think this swing is on the east side of the castle given the view that can be seen when Anna is on I alone in the first movie. @lovewillthaw-j has a post detailing all about it and so to fully understand the location of the swing, do check out her post. The swing is located at the inner east of the castle, right before the palace - just so that you can see one of the small wide pillars of the castle. I can't put an image here due to the limit but you can see the last part of this post series to see the collage I put together concluding all of this.
2. The royal garden
(ref: "For the first time in forever" in 'Frozen' | "Ring in the season" in 'Olaf's Frozen Adventure')
The royal garden is considered the most peaceful area of the castle as it's quiet. The key thing about it is the willow tree. The garden is at the front of the castle right next to the bridge that connects the castle to the rest of the kingdom. The garden goes all long the outer palace wall. To get to it from the inside, there's a tunnel like way on the inner perimeter of the castle as seen in the second image above - where the red arrow goes along and from there you just walk straight down and at the end you turn left and there should be a door that opens up to the castle garden given that door is on the wall. See the last part/ part 9 for the full view of each room with their locations in the castle.
Again @lovewillthaw-j 's posts are so helpful. She made a post about this door to the garden.
3. The gallery
(ref: "For the first time in forever" in 'Frozen' | "Making today a perfect day" in 'Frozen Fever')
The gallery has all kinds of ancient art but it also includes family portraits and photos such as the one Elsa gave Anna on her 19th birthday in Frozen Fever. The portraits have changed over the years so the teal couch Anna jumped and made a pose, is the same couch Elsa jumps with her to present Anna her gift. The chairs must've been in place on purpose for the jump so I don't think they're placed there.
The placement of the gallery is on the left side in the middle teal slope area. Due to the limit I can't show you but when I gathered all the rooms on the Arendelle Castle image, I'll fit the rooms to their places
4. The library
(ref: "For the first time in forever" in 'Frozen' | Hans reveals his villainous self to Anna in 'Frozen' | Charades game night in 'Frozen 2')
This is the room Elsa practices her coronation ceremony in holding the orb and sceptre but the extra practice is on controlling her magic. And there's a large painting of her father's coronation ceremony too. It's also the same place where Hans betrays and reveals himself to Anna leaving her to die in a frozen heart.
In Frozen 2, the same room appears and this time they have a charades tradition in the evening in the library. The set-up however has changed a little with the L - Sofa being replaced with the table and Lt. Mattias' portrait hung up too. The door next to Agnaar's portrait may have been a continuity error too and so it doesn't exist.
But right outside the room is a window and we see Anna and Olaf climbing through the window to get to Kristoff, towards the end of Frozen, so we know roughly where the room could be (which I'll show in Part 5).
To be continued in Part 5.

Haii just curious since you said doodle requests were open and I just wanna know more about it like if your uncomfortable with certain characters and what you can make doodles of -🐯
♡o。+..:*♡o。+..:*♡o。+..:*♡o。+..:*♡o。+..:*
▶Hello! I just started doodle requests for call of duty agere/petre only as that's what i'm super interested at the moment! :D These doodle requests help me practice art and help as warm ups to bigger projects.
▶Same as my regular COD requests, I'm okay with doing any character from these games:
-Call of duty Cold War and it's online playable characters
-Call of Duty Modern Warefare 1,2, and 3 and any of it's online playable characters
-Call of Duty Ghosts
▶I can deny your request if im not comfortable with it like if the request goes against my DNI
▶The doodle requests do not cost a dime, they're free and just for me to practice my skill.
▶If you wish to request a doodle but not for me to post it just make sure you leave your username somewhere and I'll send it to you through dm! :)
▶I can doodle your hcs of characters and if theres a ref photo of something incorporated in the doodle please make sure to send it in the ask as well.
-Ex: Could I request a petre Ghost from COD MW2 playing with a ball of green yarn and wearing these cat ears [insert photo here]?
▶It'd also be helpful to know whether or not you want the doodle colored. All doodles will be traditional and start off with a pencil sketch. If you do not specify, I will most likely color it anyhow. :)
Examples of doodles:
Hope this helps!

I LOVE your Pearl designs!!!!! Any headcannons for the characters of double life??
OMG THANK YOU🌸
And yes I have plenty!!!
Sorry for long delay in replies - I wanted to make a big and cool post with all of my headcanons but I procrastinated it for almost half a year💀💀
several parts it is!!
So anyway let's start with something light and what I've already put into graphic explanations(?)
I feel like I have to mention that in my case I have different parts of their clothes/bodies represent their Life at the moment. For some people it's color of their eyes, for others - hair, or some markings on skin, or some, uh, modifications(crystals, color of feathers, plants)? Idk it's minecraft skins I work with what I can
First one is our beloved dead but pretty(tm) lifeseries!Cleo
First it's a frame from my "It took me by surprise" animatic and here you could see some of my headcanons. The most obv one is vines-herbs-grass-flowers growing out of her hair. For different Life goes different type of flora. Also patches of different skins(?).
Rough reference piece from several months ago. Don't @ me I'm more comfortable at digital art
For clothing I don't think I have something unique??? But it's self-explanatory anyway
-----------
Next one is Grian
Let me be clear I don't really care for his POV of Double Life but I DID watch his POV of Limited Life so yeah
I don't think I have ever drawn him before this messege so it was my first attempt and it kinda stick with me
SO SORRY for the quality of the photo
"She's a little bit different but we still love her"
As you could see I went kinda overhead with his design. I'm sorry that The iconic Red Sweater had to go😔😔😔
He is an Avian in my headcanons but I wanted to give him something more than just wings as I see in different headcanons of different talanted artists. Claws for feet it is! Also little ear-wings just looks nice imo
When dealing with bird-like legs (or any other hybrid legs) you have to think of a good piece of clothing that would be appropriate, comfortable and that it should look nice. Idk if I managed to achieve it (tbf it's a sketch ref) but overall it looks well-put, it's easy to draw and I think it should be comfy. At least I hope so!
For his Life indicator I've chosen colors of his, uh, under-feathers?? I'm sorry I don't have the correct anatomical name for them and words in general are not my tea but I hope you all can see what I'm talking about
That design was in mind for Life Series only and I used it for post-Ep1 of Limited Life animatic but he decided to change his skin in Limited Life Ep2 and I just cope with it bc for the love of me I couldn't figure how leather jacket could work with all that
You can see clothes a little bit more here
Glasses felt like a fun accessory at the moment but in the actual animatic it gave really cool 'Anime villain' effect
So yeah. That's pretty much it for them two
There will be several parts about my other headcanons and let me know who would you like to hear about next!!

screenshot saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so uhh
this'll be a short one
sorryyyyyyy
I DO HAVE STUFF FOR YOU THOUGH
for example....
you might be wondering what the hell this is
this is a background for the visual novel aspect of the game!
well, an unfinished one.
i based it off this screenshot i took off google maps!
some of the things i need to add are
well
pretty much everything lol
but let's be more specific:
you see how in mine, all the textures seem flat, while in the real photo, the textures are defined?
bit funky innit
the thing is uh. i have no idea how to add texture like this in pixel art.
ive tried many times and it just looks really bad lmao
so i've done some research, and i think what i'm looking for are called "clusters"
never heard of those before
also whenever i look up a tutorial for drawing them they just basically say "just draw these funny shapes!" and i'm like "okay but wHERE. YOU CANNOT JUST TELL ME TO DO THING. I NEED CONTEXT FOR THING. OOGA BOOGA BANG ROCK WITH STICK"
completely unrelated but i've noticed that whenever i get two ads on youtube, i can't skip them both at once
like when i press the skip ad button, it just goes to the next ad
don't know if this is only happening to me but it is REALLY annoying
fuck you youtube
i suppose i should dedicate the end of my post to the project itself.
ANOTHER QNA!
Q: Will you charge money for the game?
A: Complicated question.
this game is the epitome of a passion project in my eyes. it is a story i am telling not for any of my own personal gain, but simply because i feel like it is a story that needs to be told.
but enough of all this sappy shit, i'll just explain it simply:
when this game eventually comes out, i will either:
a: open the game up to donations (like the "name your price" thing), the majority of which will go to charity and anyone who helps on the project or
b: make the game 100% free.
Q: Do you accept fanart of the characters?
A: UH
YEAH????
if you draw my characters i will literally go bonkers /pos style
i unfortunately don't have an official ref sheet for any of them yet, but i'll be able to provide substitutes if asked
i think it would be cool to feature some of the fanart in the credits! (with permission from the artists, of course!) but that may take up too much space so i'll have to think it over.
tldr i fucking love fanart
Q: What about NSFW?
A: ...
Okay.
Listen.
I HIGHLY advise against it. I'm a minor and that's just like. weird.
Even after I turn 18, it'll still be weird because they were characters I first drew up when I was 16.
but at the same time, i accept that this is the internet, and that some gooner supremo will eventually stumble across this game :/
so i just have one definitive request.
PLEASE
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
DO NOT INCLUDE CHARACTERS WHO ARE UNDER 18
for example:
You may remember Silhouette.
they are CANONICALLY 13.
so like. keep them out of it.
i don't care if they're "just a character". you could say my fist is "just a body part" right before i bash your face in
if you want, i can provide the ages for any character you ask. i have a whole spreadsheet!
so please.
anyways that's gonna do it for today
to everybody who isn't youtube: i love you and thank you for being here
i will see you next week!

And I'm celebrating my 1st year anniversary, charge-chahos! 😁 And what better way than wearing my new alternative clothes gifted by my adorable cute cloudy bear, Sammir! Kiss-kiss, my lovely bear! 🥰🤗🐻🌩️ Also, the word "Juan" is a unique Tagalog (or Spanish) name for "Numero Uno"! Cool right?! Yeah-yuh! ☝️😁
Miya🐰🐻🔋: By the way, shout out to this person right here → [CLICK ME!]! Salamat po (thank you) so much for celebrating my 1 year anniversary! You guys are awesome in that attire! 😁👍
Title: Miya's 3rd Clothes
Miya🐰🐻🔋: Nonetheless, here's my official Ref Sheet made by my creator! I could see why my cloud bear had already changed his attire owing to his bad reputation from his past years. Aww, you poor thing...😟 So, Sammir asked me to keep it as my alternative outfit. But, not just mine but it can also apply to my other amigos and my siblings, who have already had it before. And you know that, I think this cute blue attire looks good and cute on my personality, same goes to my trusty amigos! 🥰💙💛🤗
Miya🐰🐻🔋: So far, this is my greatest gift on this 1 year anniversary! Salamat po so much, my cute cloudy bear! 🥰🤗🐻🌩️
Well, that's all for now, and "Happy 1st Anniversary, Miya!". 🐰🐻🔋🥳🎉

Art requests are paused!
Here's a few guidelines and reminders if you'd like to request anyway.
Asks:
-I won't reach out to you for clarification, details, or any other questions I might have.
-They'll be posted publicly on my page.
-Any and all details you'd like included must be in the reference photos sent or in the text sent along with it(if it's not an OC giving me a name and source is okay, I'll look up ref myself).
-If you leave it with little detail, I will put the character in a random pose and scenario, mostly depending on what the character looks like(stance, expression, and design can all influence this).
Messages:
-I will try my best to actively communicate with you about what you want from this request.
-I will ask you questions if you don't give me "enough" details(unless you want me to leave it to my own imagination).
-I will ask if it's okay to post to my page.
-I'd prefer of you gave all details in a few messages without prompting, but if you feel as though you may forget something or not be able to portray everything in an ask, this is the best option.
-If you leave it to little detail, without telling me you don't care how I draw it, I will ask for clarification.
-I may ask if you'd like me to change anything about the piece before I finish it, and may give you multiple versions.
Details to add:
-Background, foreground, middleground. Basically just the scenery.
-Description of character personality. This will influence how I draw them. If they're shy, I will draw them that way. If they're charming, I will draw them to be charming.
-Reference showing as much detail as possible. I want to be able to draw them in dynamic poses, so I will need to be able to see as much detail as I can.
-Full body, headshot, bust? Please let me know!
Other rules:
-I will not draw NSFW, suggestive pieces, and extreme gore(please contact me in messages if you'd like gore, and we can discuss what I am comfortable with).
-Do not request more than 2 characters in a detailed drawing(full scene). You may request up to 5 depending on the detail you want.
-I reserve the right to refuse any request, even if it does not fall under these rules. If it makes me uncomfortable or goes against my values, I will not draw it.
-Do not pester me unless I do not update you on the drawing within 5 days. I'm likely working on something else, or your request is detailed. You may ask for updates before that, but do not harass me or I will not complete your request. I will let you know if you cross this boundary.
-Sometimes I may not be in the mood to draw. If that happens, I likely won't post any requests during that time. Take that to mean I need a break.
-I don't have much practice with backgrounds. Feel free to request them, as requests are open so I can practice as well as give you art, but do not expect them to be very good.
-I don't draw many animals well. I will attempt it, but if I feel as though I cannot complete your request with good quality, I will inform you.
-You may ask me to complete a character design, but I may need more details from you on worldbuilding and the character themself.
Please remember to be respectful and kind! I'm not doing this for any sort of pay, and I am under no obligation to complete your request.
