[kokii-omii]

-------Omi's FAQ-------

answering a bunch of questions i get asked a lot, so i can save time (and my ask box)

(in case this gets long im gonna put it all under more)

"Can we draw your OCs"

Yes absolutely 100%, just be sure to tag me when you post it because i love reblogging and i save the art you guys make of them

"Can we use your art as our pfp?"

Yes you can but only with credits, pls be sure to add my user to your bio or other stuff whenever you want to use my art as a pfp

"Can we make fanfic/add your OCs to fics we're writing"

Again yes 100%, just tag me because i eat that shit up so hard, i will be cheering and waiting patiently for the next chapter

"Can we ship your OCs with ours"

another big fat yes because its the equivalent of playing dolls with each other and thats my idea of fun

(nobody asked this but I'll include it anyway)

"can we get freaky with your OCs"

ONLY the 3rd years (and Ryuuko), be as freaky or make freaky art or fics with the 3rd years , but the rest? no since most are below 18

"Can we show you our ocs"

yes! but please keep in mind the length of your oc lore 😭 i don't mind it but its just that sometimes I'll be looking for an ask and I'll have to scroll through a whole mountain of words

"Do your OCs have canon sexualities"

yes but also no, they're all vaguely queer and thats all i have to say for me, however you can give them your own sexuality hcs because i dont mind at all, they can all kiss boys or girls or whatever gender you want

"What do you use to draw/What brushes do you use"

I draw on ibis paint and use these brushes, the pencil is for both sketch and lineart, and the other one is for coloring

"What canvas size do you use"

the ones i use are typically around 2000px but for some cases like comms, card art, sprites etc, it can go up to 3000px, and for silly doodles they're around 700px

--------------------------

I'll probably add more to this if i remember but yeah

tuesdays with you!

Your crush who you were assigned to tutor for extra credits… turns out to be terrible at math but incredible at making you laugh. At first, he shows up late, forgetting his notebook but never his iced coffee, which he starts sharing with you because "it tastes better with company". As weeks pass, tutoring becomes less about equations and more about quiet afternoons in the library, your pens brushing fingers, your doodles appearing in his margins. He starts memorizing formulas just to impress you, and you start looking forward to Tuesdays more than weekends. Then one day, he shows up early, nervous, holding a folded piece of paper with a graph on it. You look closer �� it's a coordinate plane. "X marks the spot where I fell for you" He said.

chat this MIGHT be a tiny bit ooc, cuz this is my first genuinely written work and i'm not that good at writing, ft. Bokuto and Atsumu :))

Bokuto

Wins your heart by being his loud, unfiltered, hilarious self

Starts off distracted but eventually works harder just to impress you.

At first he thought you were one of those grumpy tutors who have no patience and immediately sigh once he gets a question wrong. He was incorrect of course! You had the patience of an angel with him, even when he spilled his iced mocha on the worksheets you didn't react negatively, only quickly grabbing the nearest thing you could use to clean it up.

One day, after your tutoring session, he approaches you before leaving the library... Is he hiding something behind him?

"Okay okay okay, don't laugh!" He giggles nervously, "I made you a.. uhm.. confession worksheet?" He reveals a piece of paper that was folded up in half with drawings on it.

"It's a silly homemade quiz called How To Know If You Like Bokuto Too!" Bokuto flips the paper over, showing the other page. The title on the top of the page with two questions under it.

Question 1: Do you like loud guys with great hair and better hearts?

Question 2: Do you want to maybe go on a date with me Tuesday instead of tutoring?

And at the bottom, Final Answer = I like you, Like.. A LOT

"I might mess up numbers, but I’m really sure about this."

Atsumu

He was late to the first session, obviously — waltzing in like he owned the place, no notebook, no pen, just way too much confidence.

"Sorry, I had to save a volleyball from crashin’ into the third-years’ lunch. I’m basically a hero." He grabs a chair and sits opposite to you. (You later found out he was just napping)

He was terrible at math, but even worse at focus, constantly interrupting with unrelated questions like: “Why do letters gotta be in math? Who invited x?” and "So if x equals my GPA, and y equals how hot you are, how do I get those numbers to add up?”

You threaten to quit, and he grins even wider. Once asked completely serious: “If I kiss you every time I get somethin’ right, would I pass?”

Then came the quiet shifts, the way he started actually bringing a pencil. the way he leaned in when you explained something. the way he stopped looking at the clock — and started looking at you.

"Hey… you’re really good at this, y’know? Not just math. Like… makin’ people wanna try."

He was still Atsumu — loud, cocky, and full of dramatic flair. But you started noticing the real version, too. The one who stayed up the night before, trying to understand a formula just so he could see your face light up when he got it right.

Shockingly, he shows up five minutes earlier than usual. His hair all messed up as if he had been in a hurry, two cups of coffee in hand. He hands you one with a sticky note. "I didn't know how to say it out loud so I wrote it down, kinda.. haha"

You unfold the sticky note once, then twice. Inside, in his messy handwriting, reads: "If I was smart, I’d know how to tell ya this right. But I’m not. So here’s the truth: Tuesdays stopped being about extra credit a long time ago. I don’t get math. But I get you. And that’s the only thing I actually wanna understand.”

He’s looking anywhere but at you, tapping his fingers on the lid of his cup. “So... if you feel the same, maybe let me take you somewhere that isn’t a library next time?”

I'm actually too tired to write more but lmk if y'all want a genshin version, reblogs are appreciated!! I just wanna see if this does well though 🤧🤧.

ACADEMIC RIVAL!ABBY 🎧📓🖊️

very short and cute continuation of this. thank you all so much for the love! can’t tell you just how much it means to me. feedback, likes, reblogs, notes, comments, and asks encouraged and highly appreciated!

there are a twenty other open seats in this library, so why did she have to sit next to you? let her knee brush up against your leg ever so slightly. whisper a “sorry.” into the air. eyes trapped in a copy of the art of war.

your face is a fixed scowl, because anderson is a cunt. a crude and prissy know it all who refuses to let you have the last laugh. if you got a 99 she got an 100. if you got an A she got an A+. she was truly treacherous to be around, and somehow always magically found her way to you.

you get up to grab a book on a higher shelf and she’s behind you in no time. body leaning against yours to grab it for you. giggling to herself about you being on your tippy toes. “i’d hate to see a book get hurt after falling on that hollow, rock hard, head of yours.”

it’s moments like those that make you think about how she is just so so sweet. she’ll steal a pencil from you and pretend she has no idea what you’re talking about, even if you can see it poking out of her back pocket. is it just that she likes to argue? to rile you up?

if you have the anwser to a question and somehow find the courage to raise your hand she’d throw you a devious look that could kill. then she’d actually throw a ball of paper at you, causing you to look back and miss the opportunity to display your knowledge and skills.

but imagine this, tucked in an office secluded on campus is you and your professor. she’s smiling shyly while whisper praising you for your essay that won her competition. then she gets too close, her hands are being far to handsy and suddenly abby is? wait where the hell did abby come from?

banging at the door like a madman with urgent matters to discuss. something along the lines of a D which you know she’d never get and she looks over at you with somber and soft eyes. the first time you’ve ever seen her face low. had she been waiting outside the for you?

had she bribed your project partner to switch with her so you could be together? was the coincidence of you both studying at the same coffee shop at the same time not a coincidence? did she happen upon your number by chance, or beat it out of an unassuming and unsuspecting freshman you’d tutored?

why couldn’t she keep her hands off of you at parties? why does she only smile when she notices you’ve walked into a room? when your dorm had a surprise fire, why were you the only person she could worry about? why was she so ready to run back in and save you?

because she likes you, silly. underneath the rivalry and the smugness and her crude actions was a crush burning holes in her icy heart. you were making her ill. you were under her fingernails like pesky dirt she could not rid herself of.

she was feverishly and most earnestly in love. and she had to do something about it. so that’s why she was here, right now, softly knocking at your door. your body, your lips, and your eyes being the only thing on her mind. well, that isn’t entirely true. something had given her the hope that this conversation would lead to much more than an understanding between you two.

[manjiraki]

Dumb? Only if it's a lie.

—————————————————————————

-Sakamaki brothers x R.femele.

—————————————————————————

.

.

She seemed distracted, silly, bad at math and confused even to open her own backpack. But when the Sakamaki, out of curiosity (or teacher's jealousy), see their school record... the mask falls off. A++ grades in everything, Nobel-worthy essays, award-winning community projects. The sweet and stay girl is actually a hurricane of genius - and now the vampires have to deal with the fact that they underestimated their own girlfriend.

⸻ —————————————————————

Shu - the intrigued lazy

- Tsc... you don't even know how to hold a pencil, how will you survive at school?

He muttered that every time you dropped the pen or asked where the class was. But when Reiji accidentally dropped his report card on the living room floor... Shu looked out of the corner of his eye and read it.

A+

A++

A++

A++ with teacher's praise

"Bright scriting, refined social criticism, impeccable structure."

- What...?

You entered the room and smiled with a cookie in your mouth.

- Hi, Shu! Look, I found this button on the street. It looks like you.

Shu kept staring at you as if you were an alien.

- You're a genius disguised as an idiot. I... I'm offended. But impressed.

⸻ ————————————————

Reiji - the proud one who pretends not to be surprised

When he read his history, he was in internal shock.

But on the outside?

- Hm. Very well. It was the least expected of someone who dates a Sakamaki.

But then, alone in the room, he read his essays one by one. He even corrected mentally (and found few flaws, which irritated him even more). You entered without knocking, and he hid the sheet, brushed.

- Are you reading my essay on educational policy?

- Cof cof... Of course not. This is just... research.

You gave an innocent smile.

- Did you find a mistake? I bet you didn't find it. I reviewed it five times.

Reiji closed his eyes. That... it was too sexy to admit.

⸻ ————————————————

Ayato - the competitive shock

- You?? Do you get A++ in math? Ore-sama can barely add without pasting!

He looked at the bulletin, then looked at you with a face of: have you been making fun of my existence from the beginning?

- You pretend to be stupid for what, huh?! Is that like... cheating?

You laughed, throwing your hair to the side.

- I like to let you think you're number 1. It's cute.

Ayato was between surprised, indignant and... completely in love.

- THIS IS ACADEMIC DEGREE BETRAYAL!

But then he asked for help to glue in the next test.

⸻ ————————————————

Kanato - the dramatic confused

You showed a pamphlet from a social project of yours, where you helped needy children with reading classes.

Kanato widened his eyes.

- Do you... teach? Like... does he teach? And do they listen to you?

You nodded, smiling shyly.

- I take teddy bears to make them feel safe.

Kanato hugged Teddy and murmured:

- You're an angel who pretends to be an idiot... so as not to scare others. That's cruel... and brilliant.

After that, he asked you random questions just to see if you would get it right. And you got them all right. He was frustrated... and delighted.

⸻ ————————————————

Laito - the intellectually turned bastard

He found his essays saved on a flash drive.

- Nfu~ let's see what my silly little princess writes when she's not stumbling on her own feet...

Read. Two. Ten. Essay on baroque art. Analysis of the human psyche in Kafka's works.

He was silent for twenty minutes. And then he appeared in his room with a look... much hungrier.

- Honey... you deceived me. You're dangerous.

You gave a little smile and pulled the neckline of the blouse:

- Dangerous... and beautiful. A combo.

- Nfu... now yes. Complete perdition.

⸻ ————————————————

Subaru - the shy surprise in denial

You were explaining quantum physics in a low voice to Yui, when Subaru came in.

- What?? Since when do you know these things?

You frushed, trying to disguise it.

- Oh... I study hidden. I think it's fun.

He stood still. Red. Very red.

- But... but you're all distracted! And knock everything down! And cry watching Barbie's movie!

- I can be all this and be smart, right?

Subaru turned his back, muttering:

- That's... this is dangerous. Very dangerous. But... beautiful as hell.

————————————————

Kino — discovered the truth

You were lying on the couch, biting a pencil and making a doubtful face.

- Kinooo... can you help me? I didn't understand this vector calculation thing. It's like... I don't know, triangle with superpower?

He laughed out loud.

- Tsk. You're really a denial. I'm glad you have my brilliant brain around.

Meanwhile, his tablet vibrated. It was a notification with your name in the online bulletin. Out of pure boredom (and maybe a little jealousy of the teacher who praised you too much), he opened it.

Advanced Mathematics: A++

Applied Physics: A++

World History: A++

Final Writing: "The Art of Political and Emotional Manipulation" - national highlight.

Kino widened his eyes. Read it again. And again. And then...

- ... YOU'RE A HIDDEN DEMON!

You jumped scared.

- What?

He showed the screen with the bulletin. His smile was nervous, surprised, mixed with pure competitive fire.

- That's a lie, right? You... you made me a clown!

- I didn't do anything! I just... I never said anything. I like to keep the character.

Kino stared at you. His eyes were shining with something between pride and madness.

- You... are more dangerous than anyone here. You pretended to be stupid... just to have fun.

- And to see your reaction now. Is it worth it?

He approached, whispering:

- You're much more than I deserve. But now that I know... I'll make you addicted to me the right way.

He bit his lip.

- Because now... I want to be smart enough to accompany you.

[author's notes]

this one made me use my braincells. oh lord the universe is destabilizing /silly

thank you for the ask!

for everyone Shal doesn't have entries on, he either doesn't know very well or are just too normal (franklin).

this was fun to draw tho especially illumi's luscious hair...

[raventrinkets]

Where or how did you learn to draw?? You're so good at it 😭

Aww thank you!! I'm mostly self-taught, so it's been a lot of trial and error. I started with realism before going stylized, and I still draw mostly still life, especially pet portraits, in my free time! I'm honestly still pretty new to digital art.

When I first watched ROTTMNT, I fell in love with its bright, colourful art style and attention to detail. It’s one of the few shows that's held my full attention LOL. I ended up redrawing a lot of screenshots, which helped me learn a LOT (legit finally understood how line art worked thanks to this)! Eventually I felt comfortable making fan-art, mostly thanks to the Risetober challenge. And SO many silly doodles in my class notes.

I've never been good at putting HOW I learned these things into words, sorry! BUT I'll include some more detailed stuff under the cut if anyone is interested. Honestly, drawing Rise makes me insanely happy, and I think that helps more than anything else!😂

Thank you so much!!

If you're curious what I use to make my stuff, I use Procreate and Procreate Dreams on the iPad.

I always start with a quick 'pencil' sketch, which I then do a rough inking over (I generally either use the inking brush Mercury or Baskerville for this). Once this looks good, I go over and do a final line art with the inking brush Baskerville. It has a pretty intense stabilizer, so it takes some getting used to, but it'll keep the lines smooth! Then I colour in everything (I have saved colour palettes for each of the turtles, which makes this step WAY faster), and shade (again with Baskerville). I'm sure better brushes exist out there, but these all come with the base app and they're what I've use for everything thus far😅

A really good website I've found for learning how to draw figures and proportions is called Line of Action! One of it's most interesting features (at least for me) is it's timed classes, which basically gives you 30 seconds to 10 minutes to draw a person. This helps you to learn how to quickly block out a pose, which is really handy when drawing.

Also, because I did mention class doodles, here is one of my first ever bits of Rise fan-art (drawn during a very boring lecture).

[tiny-breadcrumbs]

Of Pencil and Paper

(Trigger warning: mention of Sexual Assault and self harm)

People often ask why I stay with analog medium? The world is moving, digital art is growing fast and it does perform better on industrial scale. But I can never find how to answer that question without it sounded like I'm selling a sad story. So a lot of people only get the "I don't like it" answer. Short and simple. Yet sometimes, I can see the prejudice in their eyes, how arrogant, they said.

It's unhealthy. I almost conviced myself that I simply didn't like it when the root was deeper than that. It's easier to tell the lie, to sounds like an arrogant old school artist who dislike digital art with passion. No, never that. I like the texture of paper and the smell of wet paint. Not in the artistic sense, at least not at first, I found peace in that because they once saved me from my darkest days. Thus, they are familiar.

I always love a story. Consuming one or writing it myself. Yeah, I used to write. Ten years old me have a dream to be a novelist. And it all shattered when I'm thirteen. I'm sexually assaulted by one of the teacher in my school. At school hour, in an empty classroom because everyone else in a middle of morning prayer and I'm the only kid at that time with different believe. And everything spiralling down from there. It was a prestigious school I study hard to get in, that jerk used to be everyone favorite teacher including me, now, I saw that place like a hell on earth.

I never get justice. Never. Me and family being silenced for the sake of keeping the school reputation, with just a word of apology and so called promise to never repeat. As if the SA trauma can be healed like that. But world is unfair and the society is in the hand of the rich. My family is in minority from every aspect, ethnic, religion stance, society, even economy. The school even has the audacity to blackmailing us, they said I'm alone in the classrom that day because I've been writing porn on my book. The book they already confiscated and read. The book where thirteen years old me write a silly treasure hunt story. I've never saw that book again.

You see, I have a lot of issue at that time. We don't even have money to pay for therapist. Nor we can get a free counseling for victim because the case was never disclosed. The school have connection with the local police and I can just bury that injustice deep in me. At one point it almost reach a self harm. I used to scrubbing my skin until it was red, but the phantom hands still there, and I very tempted to peel it out. My family hid all the sharp object, I think I scare them badly. But I found a single pencil. Unfortunately (or fortunately) not sharp. I run it across my skin, but they didn't tear. So I take it on paper.

At first, maybe I'm doing art as some kind of therapy. I pour all that anger and disgust on paper, for months it was all angry lines and colours. The texture as I scratch the pencil, the slash of black it made across the white paper, it strangely satisfying. A little bit sadistic perhaps, because I'm doing it with the face of a demon that appear every night in my dreams, that person face. But my family keep giving me more paper, they told me to keep going. By the time I'm calm enough, when I finally graduate, I start to turn that lines into a drawing. I love a story. And because words now terrify me, I finally learn how to draw.

With times, I learn to enjoy it for the fun and all the beauty in it.

The thing is, all that sensory experience became a habit. I need to feel the paper, I need to hold a wooden pencil, a wooden brush, I need to smell the paint, so I feel safe enough to concentrate and lose myself in arts. So I can loosen up a little bit and not being so hypervigilant. Maybe I'm afraid the screen and digital art can't provide me that sense of safety. That smooth glide on the screen gave me dissasociative feeling and freak me out. I try it before and nope out so fast my last bit of paint on the pallete was not even dry yet. I enjoy digital arts when I'm not the one doing it and good for all those illustrator that can make it to the industry. But I'm here first and foremost to keep myself sane.

I'm okay now. Fabulous. Fewer and fewer relapse over the years. By the time I'm fixing all my family financial problem and finally have enough to find a therapist, they said I already handle myself good. I'm carrying thirteen years old me crawling out from that dark pit with sheer spite and luck for finding the perfect outlet to regulate that negative emotion. Giving myself an art therapy without even realise it was one. I can talk freely about that now, maybe I finally find that peace with myself.

So, do you see how long this is? Thats why I take a two minute silence whenever someone ask me why I did not do digital art when I have a potential to make more money with it. How do you even explain this? And I don't think they will care. We Asian do not believe in mental health issue 😂😂 why so weak? So saying I simply doesn't like it looks like the fastest way to give answer and switch topic. Not a lie, but not the truth either.

But my therapist told me to write this out because they think it can help someone out there about the story of art therapy, and here it is. Next time when you are about to ask and pester someone about why they didn't switch into digital art, perhaps do it on a kinder tone. Maybe they have more story behind that, big or small.

If this resonate with you, here, let me give you a hug. You are a survivor and so damn strong, I'm super proud of you!

May the world be kinder to you today, tomorrow, and many years to come.

[spider-jaysart]

Hi!! I saw you reblogged the character ask game so can I ask for both Damian Wayne and Peter Parker? I love those boys and I'm curious 😊

Thank you and take care 💖/p

@zephyrwrites2

Aww you take care too and yes, you certainly can get both :)

Damian Wayne

1. sexuality headcanon:

Demipan

2. Otp:

Damijon💕

3. Brotp:

Damian and Jon

4. Notp:

Any batcest one and the canon ships with Mar'i and Cassandra Cain, plus any ones that have adult characters paired up with him, including the adult ones that were aged down just to be with him too, like Raven, Cassie, and Cassandra

5. First headcanon that pops into mind:

Besides sketchbooks, he also owns an expensive drawing tablet that Bruce got him for one of his birthdays. He makes good use of it, but he still prefers traditional more though since that's what he grew up with, so it's not something he stopped doing after getting an art tablet. He just loves the good feeling of getting out all his pencils, brushes, paints, and having fun expressing himself with them right there on his canvas or in his books. Another reason he perfers it more is because he can actually travel with a sketchbook too and just draw wherever he wants and especially because he also hates it whenever a digital drawing he's working on just suddenly deletes itself because of some error while he was in the middle of drawing it, which upsets him VERY much all the time. Most times when that happens, he just really needs a moment for himself to calm down, plus, process and mourn his erased piece that never got to be saved and truly finished.

6. Favorite line from this character:

"I'm from Earth. I'm ticked off. And I'm looking for a clown." From Adventures of the Supersons #7 (This is one of them that makes me laugh lol)

7. One way in which I relate to this character:

Okay, so remember that one Wayne family adventures chapter where Damian is struggling so much to socialize in school and it's all just so awkward for him? Well, that's me too, because I relate too hard to that lol (there's also the fact that we both love art and draw all the time too)

8. Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character:

Nothing

9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Problematic fave but one that I love very much💖

Peter Parker

1. Sexuality headcanon:

I usually just see him as straight, but I'm not against any other kind of sexuality for him at all though

2. Otp:

Hmmm, him and MJ are sweet (the Rami version of it is definitely a mess though), but I also really like Peter x Michelle from the mcu and Peter x Gwen from the Amazing Spider-Man movies too hehehe

3. Brotp:

Peter and Ned. I just love how silly and fun they are with eachother lol

4. Notp:

Black cat. She's a villain who loves living the thief life, plus, I just don't believe she's right for Peter since she's more in love with his Spider-man identity and always sees things like a game, which just doesn't work for a real relationship

5. First headcanon that pops into mind:

He got braces in middle school and would always pick orange and yellow for the bands when he got them changed every month

6. Favorite line from this character:

"What's important is not standing by and allowing someone to suffer or die because you do nothing. If you don't get that, then you don't get the first thing about being Spider-man." A line he says in the video game Spider-Man edge of time

7. One way in which I relate to this character:

We care for others a lot and always want the best for them

8. Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character:

Nothing at all

9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave:

Cinnamon roll frrr💗

Thank you for the asks! I enjoyed answering them!!

I’m Venus! i go by they/them but any pronouns are ok tbh. i’m a 21yr old american-peruvian lesbian in EST. ya me olvide muchísimo español, solo hablaba cuando era pequeño :( I’ve been drawing all my life, but it’s mostly a hobby atp.

What's the point of this sideblog?

Well, really I just wanted to post abt helluva boss (idc abt hazbin btw) without it being connected to my main blog. I don't rlly care for vivzie & ppl are quick to judge so I’d rather keep a separate blog, especially given the adult nature of the show. I also want to hoard my aesthetic shit here and anything funny that won’t fit in my main’s queue.

Art info

I use procreate on ipad with an apple pencil (btw if ur thinking of getting a second gen pencil—do not LMAO this shit is annoying and i miss my first gen one).

Recently I’ve been using procreate’s ‘shale brush’ to line my works, but in my older drawings you’ll see me using a modified ‘HB pencil’. I have various brushes from packs and bundles I’ve saved that I sometimes use, such as Retro Supply, Joes set, clem’s brushes, feast’s pencils, and LP’s painting set, but I mainly stick to a few favorites and modify them.

Top ships?

Stolitz & Verbie are my top faves, followed by Fizzmodeous, M&M, and HoneyMoon. I like blitzfizz and stolitzarozzie (?) as well.

Fave characters?

My faves are Verosika, Stolas, Blitz, Barbie, Fizz, Millie, and Beelzebub! Anything including them will make me happy emote :)

I’m new to tumblr and I want to reblog, but don’t want to be annoying. What can I do?

Tumblr lives off reblogs! reblog anything and everything u like! all the time! that’s the point of a blog! u can use tags to essentially whisper ur thoughts, u can directly add on to a post by reblogging with ur opinions, and u can comment within the post itself! Do not be afraid to leave tags especially, bitches (me, along with many others) LOVE seeing peoples tags on stuff. It’s also pretty widely accepted that spam is super cool too btw, but if ur REALLY worried about that, there’s an option to queue ur reblogs or schedule it for a later time :) but again, don’t stress! <3

REQ FAQ

keep in mind these are requests, and not commissions. I do reqs for fun and because ideas are hard for me to come up with, I do not owe you any type of drawing because u are not paying me. effort given to each req varies purely on my own whims lol (as in, some will be sketches, others may end up full drawn)

What would you not draw?

as my pinned states, i’m not into stereotypical freak proship stuff. By that I mean what proship has come to be defined as of recently with extreme gross tropes, I do not mean silly little crackships that ultimately do no harm. this applies to all reqs and everything I draw.

I’ll do most (helluva) ship reqs but as a lesbian i’m obligated to heavily favour any sapphic pairs LMAO. for nsfw reqs ill only do that with stolitz and verbie and just use common sense for these types of reqs, yknow? kink is alright but please know im not personally active in the community, im more passively interacting n learning so I won’t be accurate in my depictions. I’m also not gonna get into my whole hard/soft limits list—if i don’t like what u req i’m just gonna delete the ask lol.

Would you draw multi panel comics?

yes! but please keep in mind I am not a comic artist, therefore it will be choppy and possibly rushed. I’m less likely to do these types of reqs simply because of the effort it takes to complete these (no matter how much i want to) :(

Do you do commissions?

Not really, but if you sincerely want a comm from me, feel free to reach out and we can negotiate! I will not do any fully rendered art, but I am open to sketches and/or lined flat colored works (example)

[delulluart]

do you have paper recommendations (for both drawings and watercolor paintings)? i want to get back into traditional art and don't really know were to start. also what pencils do you use? and watercolors? or do you use guache? what brushes should i get? sorry i know this is a lot of questions but it is a bit overhwhelming and i really liked you're ghost paintings 😊 and i don't want to buy bad things

oh dear, first of all: thank you, I'm very happy to hear you enjoy my silly stuff! And it is always great to hear people getting back to traditional art, since it seems like almost everyone is doing digital art exclusively these days (this is NOT me shitting on DA, i love you digital art people).

Anyway, yes, there's *a lot* of options out there and it is so, so important to get at least okay-ish quality equipment.

Paper

Paper is, in my opinion the most important factor, especially for watercolour works. switching to good quality paper was an absolute game changer - 0 exaggeration!

Watercolour paper:

I use mostly Hahnemühle Britannia 300g/m² cold pressed with matte surface. it comes with different surface options, depending on the effect you want (rougher surface etc., but i don't vibe with that). it is still relatively affordable, but still, hurts the bank account quite a bit.

If i want to go for some more silly stuff, i use Hahnemühle Burgund 250g/m². because it's thinner it is cheaper (you just can't put as much water and as many layers on it, which, for my use case is usually perfectly fine).

If i want to go full fancy I use the Hahnemühle mould made 300g/m². It's handmade paper, not from trees but with fabric, it is incredible how well the colours work on this stuff. Many people use Arches paper, but that is way too expensive for me. and I'm very happy with the Hahnemühle.

The difference between cheap as shit no-name watercolour paper and some good quality brand paper is, and I cannot express this enough, incredibly big. those ugly rims and splotches and uneven colour fades? that's the cheap paper's fault, not yours. It made me really desperate thinking I'm just too stupid for art, when it wasn't my fault.

For drawings I also use Hahnemühle:

my favourite is Skizze 190: very smooth surface, very white and very affordable!

another is Nostalgie: It feels even smoother in a different way, is less white. at first touch they seem identical, but handle very differently. this one is just as affordable as the Skizze 190 one.

Cheaping out on paper means you'll pay with happiness, really. save your nerves and motivation and spend the money on nice paper. trust me.

I'm not sure, Hahnemühle is available wherever you live, but go to an art supply store (a good one) and ask for help there!

Pencils

I exclusively use Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencils these days. They are very consistent in their...abrasion? there's no hard chunks in the lead, and they cost very little. They also have the Lumograph Black pencils which have a high charcoal level, which is super cool when you have very dark areas, because it won't get super shiny!

Watercolours

I got myself a set of Lukas Studio Watercolours and added a few more that i use often/ needed more than the ones already included in the set. They're not very expensive (compared to other big brands that everyone seems to use) and i like them. I never tried the expensive Windsor etc. paints, though. The price is very attractive and I never had any problems with them.

I also have a Gouache set that I got second hand from my sister by Caran d'Ache. I don't know whether it's good or not, because I rarely use it, mostly for accents on my watercolour paintings.

Brushes

until very recently I used rather cheap but good synthetic brushes for ethical reasons. I accidentally bought a natural hair one and it was....extremely good. With a heavy heart I now switched full time to much more expensive Kolinskis. Ethically this is an absolute nightmare and I will try to buy as few as possible and use them forever before buying new ones. But they are, unfortunately, much better. I wouldn't necessary recommend the brand I used because they're bad at keeping a tip, though.

But if you're just starting: go to an art supply store and get 3 synthetic ones in small, medium and slightly bigger with a nice tip and you'll be very happy for quite a while, i promise!

I also highly recommend getting a Pentel Aquash as a starting tool and for painting outside (don't buy a cheap fake, they're terrible)

alright, I hope i could answer your questions and if you (or anyone else) wants to know more, just ask :)

[theonewhowails]

@faeriefrog-blog asked how i did the funny colours on these bad boys so i've broken it down into a few steps!!! starting with the bottom most layers:

very bottom layer, just above the paper itself, we've got the background shading seen in the bottoms images here, panels 3-5 in the comic. note that without any effects applied to it, it is the same colour as the shadows, a deep teal hue. i like to keep all the shadows around the same hue for the sake of cohesion, even though these end up being altered quite a lot in the final product

a note about the base paper layer!! its not actually pure white, but very very light grey. sometimes i make it a slightly darker grey if im feeling dramatic. this keeps the focus on the figures on the foreground probably, and allows the paper layer to interact just a little bit more with colour altering layers above it (overlay layers, for example, dont do SHIT to pure white)

above the paper, the bg shading, and the sketch layer i was too lazy to remove, we've got the blocking ive put down so that the lamb, the speech bubbles, and the sweet elderly koala theyre about to yeet into the great beyond are both not grey and not fading into dark teal. this layer probably wouldnt be here if it was fully coloured!!! however, i love not doing things :]

then theres the one-colour colour layer, and the lineart, of course, normal stuff, and then the topmost layer in this chunk is the figure shading. this can be put above or below the lines if you prefer, since it wont be at full opacity anyways. teal is a pretty strong feature in the cotl palette, esp in toww's domain, so i tend to shade with teal a lot here. not much details of variation in shading strength is applied here, the only notable exception being the bell which i straight up just could not resist making all shiny. since the shading is blocked in with a sketchy pencil brush i use for like all of my art steps, it creates the idea of texture without much real effort.

directly above the shading we have this shit:

shown at normal and full opacity because i need to emphasize these are literally just gradient ovals of pale yellow and it looks silly but:

set that bitch to around 50% opacity and make it an overlay layer and it adds some light and depth to the shaded areas!! note that as i stated before, it is now completely invisible on the sections that are blocked in white, and has little effect on on the black lineart. it doesnt have to be super detailed or precise, but just have the gradient positioned in a way that suggests a source of light

finally, the topmost two layers:

the gradient map here i what i use for most of my cotl stuff, though i poke and prod at it with every image to ensure the shadows are deep and the red is vivid. then duplicate that layer, make the bottom layer somewhere around 50% opacity, and make the topmost layer an overlay. i dont know with any fancyboy words WHY this specifically works; as best as i can figure, the bottom layer applies the colours, while the upper layer improves contrast and colour depth while keeping it within the colour scheme

thats it!!! once you get used to using overlays and gradients, this becomes quite simple, which is nice because i can use these tricks on top of a little low-energy doodle i did about old people murder and have it come out really nice still!!! i love things that save me time and energy!! if you do too, i hope this is helpful!! :]

cult trait: good die young

[mafufuu]

hihi arte! 3, 17, 19, & 24 for the artist ask game?

hihihi ruya webe been on a call which is silly but i hope youre doing well rn !!

3. your favorite piece(s)?

as of now, my most favorite piece, off the top my head, is the greyscale thing i drew of lucia from tmk. i was messing around with brushes i had saved but never really used and the textures came out nice. i like the work i did on that canvas in general, i felt i got a good hold on her character. i tend to be happy with full body colored stuff i do of characters as of recent. most things i crank up the warmness on for a character and then slap a square bg on i tend to be more than satisfied with. same goes with playing around with brushes. fuuta trash and trash was a fun dabble in trying to recreate another style, and la maine de gloire i like for similar reasons. i hold a fondness for my deep cover william wisp redraw and we outta lightbulbs though that may just stem from a lot of attention on a pice that took a lot of effort

17. what is something youre confident about in your art?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh i suppose my color choices and stylization. i like toning up the warmness + saturation and lowering the brightness of my art for a cozier feel and i like how it turns out. whenever i do contrast checks (literally just turning a piece to black and white to see if my values are good) the results are pretty good. i think most of the reason why im confident in my stylization is i just kinda like how it looks. some amount of the time i just do doodles that are just linework so i feel like ive gotten comfortable in how i translate things and i also tend to work from references. also ive been told my art style is quite unique and i feel that is the root of it

19. where do you find inspiration?

inspiration! this one is fun! at least for some amount of how i do(/did) eyes and how i color i draw from lavendertowne! her art is very cozy and nice looking, its cartoony but you can see anime influences in it. i think that's probably my main one. i also look up to drawing wiff waffles, she was the first artist i ever really became a fan of! whenever i do pick up alcohol markers (not much nowadays) i make sure to use a colored pencil for sketching. she's prolly also the reason i make sure to carry a kneaded eraser for traditional art. i like watching scott christian sava's videos. being an older artist with more life experience makes him sorta feel like the most mentor-y to me. also he's very nice and some amount active here. yunayuispink is who i mainly use for tutorials. their art style is simple but that is not to say its bad! the colors are nice and the linework is nice. i also like marikyuun's art. her use of linewidth and colored lines makes her work very merchandise-esque as she says. i own a couple studio ghibli art books that i should probably be busting out more for references. their films are very pretty. i also like to take bits and bobs from my moots' art styles that i think are cool. for instance, i think the main reason i tend to gravitate toward thin messy lineart is @/not scorb on here. though i think mine tends to lean messier (or maybe moreso them doing it gave me the confidence to post art like that.) i also take influences from other anime/manga, vaguely, often to the point where i just kinda forget the names. there's probably more but this list is very long already so ill stop

24. whats a compliment about your art that has always stuck with you?

hm. im not really sure. it might be from my bad memory in all honesty but i feel like most of the compliments ive gotten recently just tend to be a "great work!" which i dont mind or take for granted but its not really that descriptive, yknow? actually i remembered one. one time i drew different characters from a thing in chairs i thought suited them (lore rise) sitting based upon their character and i remember someone told me i was talented from the way i portrayed my personalities from how they sit. it really stuck for some reason, i dont know why actually. also being told my art is unique when i was asking my sib to describe my art style bcuz i didnt really know how. it just felt nice to know it was really something that felt like mine !

thank you for the ask !! have a nice rest of your whatever

“as pure as snow,,

albedo x reader | fluff (college au)

ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇᴘᴛ - both albedo and y/n have a crush on each other, and attending the same art class certainly brings out the awkward

.

A/N: admittedly this has been sitting on my phone notes for ages- but i am finally getting to posting it :D gotta love the boy albedoo <3

.

warnings: -

1.5k words

lost in the subtle music in your ears you painted with elegance and caution, not wanting to make any mistakes on one of your final art pieces. the canvas was quite big, so you were standing up, and needless to say your body was starting to get tired. you were already behind so a break wasn’t really an option, though, you had to admit being able to finally eat that cookie you have been saving would be most rewarding right about now.

the classroom was quiet, only the soft hum of song from your earphones being the only sounds, besides the gentle brush strokes and taps from your painting, of course. it was break time, and soon the classroom would be rumbling with students, too loud for you to work in.

you enjoyed not having prying eyes over your work, and not having the worry of someone accidentally, or deliberately, knocking into you and making you make a wrong brush stroke. that had happened one too many times and you wouldn’t let it happen again.

as it happened, the break bell came into sound, soft murmurs of voices and taps of shoes in the halls growing closer. for the moment you couldn’t hear them, but you sure would when the door burst open and your classmates started barging their way in.

with a small glance you kept your eye out for one person in particular. there was only one person in this class that you tolerated… even more so, too.

albedo.

his soul was as pure as fresh white snow. albedo’s talents and respect for the arts was something you have always admired, and his pretty appearance wasn’t the only thing that started your swoon over him.

in all honesty, you hadn’t had a crush before, but as soon as that faithful day came where he asked to borrow your pencil, his voice gentle and calming, you couldn’t help your heart flutter.

it was silly really. all this over the starting of the exchange of a pencil. though, fate was funny sometimes. it seemed to find more humour in the situation than you would have liked though. albedo thought the same too.

neither of you had confessed your mutual feelings for one another, so you were both wandering in the dark, silently wishing for another moment to come again, opening an opportunity for the fateful sentence of “i love you” to spill out.

albedo wasn’t really one to understand his feelings very well which proved as his first obstacle. his second was that, despite him being a confident speaker, he just couldn’t find the right time nor the right words. admittedly it annoyed him, so he always waited patiently before talking to you, thinking over his words. though the confession never made its way to light.

“that looks beautiful, y/n. you have been working on that for quite a while, have you not?” he peeked over at your canvas from behind him, the two of you behind one another, your canvas’ opposite.

you peeked back over at him. “thank you… and yes.” a sheepish smile made its way onto your face, though you turned around and continued painting. “it’s taking much longer than i originally expected.”

albedo hummed. he admired how consistent you were with your work. your determination too. “i didn’t notice you at lunch at all… have you eaten?”

you stopped mid brush stroke at his words. "i... have had some fruit-" you answered honestly, a nervous smile on your face as albedo made his way to your side, arms crossed with a disappointed sigh escaping his lips.

"how troublesome... while fruit is good for you, just fruit isn't the best lunch option." he tilted his head slightly. "you should take a break."

"but class has only just started..."

"and?"

"i can't just stop working- especially not eat in class. the teacher will tell me off."

"but there's no teacher in here at the moment."

darn his reasoning.

you had to admit you were hungry. with a defeated huff you nodded, putting your brush and paints down. "alright..." you gave him a small smile and rummaged through your bad for your well wanted and deserved snack.

like a thrown ton of bricks your heart plummeted at the vacant feeling of your nonexistent lunchbox. you had only brought your fruit with you.

at your lack of movement and the ever growing sadness on your face, albedo took a guess. "you forgot your food, didn't you?" with a small nod from you, he couldn't help but let out a quiet chuckle. "you are quite hopeless at times."

he picked up his bag and placed it on his seat, searching through it for something you could munch on. landing on a well preserved sandwich, he took the box it was in out of the bag, holding it out to you.

you blinked. such an act of kindness... but, "i can't take your food, albedo." it would be unfair to take his food. what would he eat?

"i insist." he gently shook the box, poking it closer to you. "please?"

it was as if a weight had lifted off your shoulders at his gentle tone. it was something you absolutely adored. how could you refuse now?

with careful hands you took the box, opening it and taking out the snack inside. "thank you, albedo." you smiled.

he gave you a small nod, eyeing the doorway. "i'll keep an eye out for you. eat as much as you want, but, please, don't rush."

and that is what you did. relishing in the kindness albedo gave you, for the rest of the day the two of you exchanged a few small, lovely conversations until the last bell of the day rang. after packing everything up, satisfied with your progress on both accords, you gave a last wave to albedo before making your way out of the classroom.

to which, unwillingly, you almost passed out after leaving the doorway. your knees were about to give out- a whole day talking with albedo. his voice was smooth like honey, his movements with nothing more than care and grace. it was a wonder how you hadn't fainted throughout the day. your heart was fluttering, the butterflies in your tummy not dying down even after now walking outside towards the main gates of the college.

another days work and another day contemplating your crush on the oblivious albedo. was it a success? you thought so.

the next few days were quite similar when the two of you happened to pass, and before long the weekend rolled around. you decided to treat yourself that saturday morning. fresh from the stress of college, a lovely scent of your favourite shampoo masking you-- you were feeling amazing, and the fresh morning breeze that you could already feel through the opened crack of your window was definitely the cherry on top.

with the refreshing motivation coursing through your veins, the happy butterflies fluttering in your tummy, you decided to treat yourself to a walk. though, when you opened the front door to leave on your adventure, you didn't expect to see albedo ready to knock on the door.

you blinked, looking at albedo's hand which was still ready to knock the, now opened, door. "albedo-?" you tilted your head.

he swiftly moved his outstretched hand to rub the back of his neck, smiling almost sheepishly. "hello, y/n..."

"it's lovely to see you," you smiled, a little uncertain. "at my home... may i ask why?"

"well... i was wondering if you were free today. you hadn't been answering my texts so naturally i was a little worried because you always answer them quite quickly." he looked down slightly. "i apologise if i have intruded."

"wha- no, no! you're not intruding at all!" you paled.

he had been messaging you? oh, you felt such a fool. he probably thought you were ignoring him which wasn't the case at all! you swore you put your notifications on, you swore. so, why hadn't your phone pinged? was your phone off? where was your phone? how could you have-

"y/n." he called you out of your worried trance, an equally worried expression on his face. "are you... alright? you blanked out." he asked, a gentle tone to his voice.

looking down you heaved a small sigh, nodding. "i'm alright... i just- hope you don't think i was ignoring you." you met his gaze again with a familiar sheepish grin. "my phone has been on silent and i haven't checked it..."

he softened. "i didn't think that... don't worry." he hummed and looked you up and down. "were you... going somewhere perhaps?"

you nodded. "i was just going to go for a walk... it's quite the relaxing day to." you smiled.

he 'ah'd', though seemed to want to say more. with your questioning glance he cleared his throat. "may... i join you...?"

thump, thump <3

now it was you who softened. such a small voice. "of course you may~!" you smiled brighter.

albedo sighed in relief, glad that you didn't think of him as weird. maybe... if he was able to wrack up this courage, perhaps it would soon be time to ask you on a date.

[scorci-chan]

how do you draw the way you do, got any tips??

Thank you so much for showinng interest and asking! I'll tell you some stuff I do and some general tips I reocmmennd!

First is equipment! and choice of tools! I use Clip Studio Paint and I lean towards tools that are great for silly quick lines (even tho it's not always quick) I use harder brushes that don't varry much with pressure when lining and a kinda scratchy brush for stuff Iw ant to make extra soft or sketchy (kinda like pencil!)

I use ot draw a lot of traditional so I've had my practice of doing lines slow but my taablet fights me making the liens look terirble if I'm too slow (; w ; Huion whyyyy)

Next is influnce and style stealing!! Think of yourself as a combinaiton fo your interests! I grew up with Maplestory, anime, and Chibi Robo and all sorts of colorful cute fun things so I've obsorbed a bunch of that. Art styles and elements you like will influnce your art whether you know it or not~

pull up artists, games, maybe research a style or even look for fun little quirks or outfits or art or whatever while on your off time. I spend a lot fo time saving thing sI find pretty to look at later for ideas or jsut to kind of influnce or learn from

I have several folders of clothes and styles and aesthetics I like that I use to dress my characters <3 it helps a tooooonnnn

it's not stealing in a bad way to look at someones art and to take elements oyu enjoy!! hek all of cookie run is base don the CG gingerbread guy form shrek, Try weird fun things!!

Lastly~ Expression and Feelings!!! a thing I spend a lot of time on is getting expressions down and making an image feel a specific way. tho I often go with a rang eof Happy/ pleased to like, Puzzled or Even happier hahaha. though I'ev been leanrign to do crying better and more relaxed faces recently

this Nini from the other day has a pretty simple face but somehting I note when draiwng her is that I will ignore the mouth not being perfect cause the wonky wobbly mouth is a core part of her and her body being in a veyr sprea dout maner make she rlook all excited, hek I drew to many lines os I gave her a chin mask jsut caus eit looked cute hahaha,

for pictures without a face I treat the body or parts of it liek I do a face and add expression there instead, waggign tails, sweat beads, waggling arms, lil single word text blurbs, etc

Thank you for asking and if you have any more questions lemme know <3<3
