Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG thread from when I made these a year ago were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

He was feeling left out

and the higher rez stills, since gifs always export as if you're sending messages through a metal can~

#you may be wondering why I put so much effort into this #I'm curious too funny how these things happen sometimes #anyways I think omega has jets on his back that would let him fly but consider: he wants to Look Cool #shadow the hedgehog #rouge the bat #omega e123 #sxsg #sonic x shadow generations #team dark #sxsg spoilers #sonic #idk how long I need to tag spoilers but I'll be nice #comic #having the camera shifted towards shadow for the middle bit was a Mistake #he is soooo much harder to draw than rouge asl;dkfj #like one degree off on the eyes and it becomes unviable I swear #except for profiles ironically that first panel was easy as hell #looking back on this I love how I Completely changed how I drew rouge's wings after the first panel #I think the difference was I just swapped refs and her character model was different lol #meanwhile I'm just blatantly cheating shadow's wings for the middle panel purely to fit them in at all #I truly love how oversized they are except for when I'm trying to make a readable composition #yet another reason he should've been back to the camera rather than facing it in the middle but so it goes #my art #doodles

Character references of Trixie, Stella (Starlight), and Luca (Sunburst). These designs were all done by @tulliok.

#mlp #trixie lulamoon #starlight glimmer #sunburst #startrix #grand galloping 20s #my art #character design #fanart #my god stella is a HUGE improvement from my first ref of her in the old line-up sheet she looks totally different #and i'm glad to finally have drawn luca!

Sometimes I think Jetfire is not tall enough but I think it's just that I have a lot of taller than average bots in my current lineup, i needed to reassure myself BAHAHA

edit: I dislike the Stark White Background in the first one, go my dark mode

#tf science cont #science au refs #transformers #WAY TOO MANY CHARACTERS TO TAG #jetfire #skyfire #THE VOICES IN MY HEAD TELL ME TO GO BIGGER BUT IT MIGHT BE TOO INCONVENIENT

i fear i can never date a man bc none of them will ever be makoto tachibana

#my art #free!#free! iwatobi swim club #free! eternal summer #makoharu #free! fanart #makoto tachibana #haruka nanase #i wld do anything for him do u hear me ANYTHINg #sunshine personified i cannot look directly at him #im too weak fr this im not strong enough haru is better than me fr i see him and i break in2 a flustered mess #do u know how hard it is trying to find references when every google image result is out to get me personally. its so hard out here fr #he's either a. shirtless b. pushing his gd hair back c. Smiling Like That or d. ALL THREE #it's so strange bc objectively rin both as a character and from a design standpoint is much more my type #what can i say i tend to rly like Sharp Androgyny #but makoto just has tht It factor tht je ne sais quoi hes meeting all my standards he makes me inSANE #he's literally the perfect man shaking haru by the shoulders u r so LUCKYYYYYYYYY #the s tier va on top of it all too....yeah i never stood a chance lmao #maybe hes out of my system for now maybe now i can actually draw for my main fandom....#(she said pulling up refs of ikuya)
