This is a far more accurate version of my take on OuterKiller, the hood design is a nebula done in the style of a galaxy flame like I was attempting with the original art I did. I couldn't draw it due to my limited art skills so I used a real life picture of the "California nebula" as a texture for the hood flame. I hope you all like it better than the original hood design. It's not a major change but I wanted to make sure people knew what he was meant to look like.

Hey, I have a question about your referencing/copying/tracing guide: what is the difference between referencing and copying when you are making art from photos? Especially when you’re using the photo to understand the form of the subject, but not the framing or lighting (which is the main way photographers convey their artistic intent). Like, is it usually referencing, since you’re not engaging with many artistic choices to copy, or can it often be considered copying since you are straight up copying the form of the portrayed object?

i had a very big thing typed up i'd thought about for a few days then my computer crashed and i lost it so lets see if i remember ;w;

i feel like this is a case where the difference between copying and referencing isn't really the point, it's more about considering yourself what's important to the piece you're referencing, how you're using it, and how is it important to your own work.

copying and referencing depending on the subject matter and need can be virtually the same so it really becomes case-by-case even if it's photography. like are you drawing an arm exactly as you see it, or is it a completely different pose and you just want to see muscle groups?

i understand what you mean, but i would say too that any aspect of a photo can have intent or lack thereof and it also depends on the type of photography since it's just as broad as any other type of art.

this is why i say it's more important to consider the piece and make your own judgement as to whether or not your work breaches the other. if you copy a hand from a photo that's usually fine, but what if the entire piece is the hand and you're now reusing a large percentage of their work? but also you could argue a hand is a hand and not unique in that way. it varies.

everyone is going to have their own opinion on where the line is, that's why this is so grey. when it comes to referencing a subject i'm unfamiliar with i find it helpful to pull from as many sources as possible, it makes it less likely i'm accidentally copying from someone else and means i'm actually working to understand the subject. that or i often just take reference photos myself wherever possible.

weeds

a garden overgrown,

is a romantic thought,

weeds towering above you,

and you feel very short.

and you feel unusually safe,

hidden beneath leaves and stalks,

the paths familiar to you alone,

trodden flat on bygone walks.

you're a tortured heroine,

escaping into the confines,

of your imagination and your stories,

of your hurt yet colourful mind.

it's a romantic thought:

to be enveloped in an embrace,

to be squeezed ever so slightly,

to be given a little grace.

and romantic still even when

the embrace turns into rope,

and the squeezing turns to crushing,

and the grace is stolen alongside hope.

but it's romantic. oh, so romantic!

to lose your breath for that one touch,

to break and snap for that one kiss,

and it can never be too much.

I hope you'll enjoy this one, this is my take on OuterKiller Sans, as I've now taken to calling my takes 9k's, short for Gen0ration9k, so this is 9k OuterDust. This is just a W.I.P, I want to change the hood to be a galaxy flame with reds and oranges here and there but I suck at drawing that kind of stuff. Either way, the concepts pretty simple, it's just killer sans but outertale, his soul is a black hole since in this the merge of Chara and Sanses souls created a somewhat contained singularity, in short a mini black hole with a limited range of gravitational pull yet equally as potent, spaghettifying anything that gets too close to his chest. Sans can make the soul disappear if he doesn't want this to happen but it makes for a great defense against physical attacks. Also, his knife is actually a spacial rift, a sort of condensed part of space, in which a gamma ray burst is being suspended and sustained at the edge of the blade. In short, he can cut through nearly anything with the edge of his blade like a hot knife through butter (pun intended). Aside from that, he just has buffed versions of outer and killers abilities since high LV and all, he's mainly centered around canon killer so he's not truly evil, and despite seeming like a cocky murderer, it's all a facade.

one thing i love about lighter is even though it's a collab and they didn't write most of the lyrics, behind the happy vibe there is still the 5sos emotion and themes to it. references to colours being brighter (and i've said before about the use of 'black and white' and 'colourblind' in calm evolving into 'darkness turns to gold' and several other colours on 5sos5, then now there is this). like it's not just an airy pop song with lines like 'when the world is heavy as stone' 'when i'm hollow' and it's easy not to pick up on those if you're just looking for a bop to listen to even when you are listening to the lyrics--but when it's the happiest song they've put out in almost a decade (and possibly the only happy song luke has ever properly sung lead on) it's such a triumphant story that it exudes and I can't stop thinking about that

Contrasting Elements working in harmony While referencing for my current idea i came across a video which had a combination of elements that i did not expect to fit each other when put together. The Video is a Promotional Advertisement for a patch release on a mobile game called BRAWL STARS. As a Concept, the video takes in elements of the Medieval Fantasy genre of Dungeons & Dragon and Combines it with a proper BANGER metal music instead of the mainstream Instrumental soundtracks created by vielle, harp, psaltery, flute, shawm, bagpipe, drums etc while also visually breaking the norms despite maintaining the same setup and theme throughout (Sometimes even going as far as bringing in Robots in the screenplay).

I have also consumed a lot of medieval concept where the commonly used colors are Darker, with lots grays added to the overall palette in order to establish the age or era where you have to either fight people to survive or Demon, Monsters, Orcs etc. For instance Diablo Immortal, LOTR the game and even the Series, Game of Thrones.... all of these are masterpieces and will probably be the first point of reference to creating anything that lies in the domain of Medieval Fantasy Genre. However, this particular video uses bright backgrounds and To keep the theme about Dragons, I felt the use of warm, fiery color palette for the video was a very clever choice as it helps us stay in the same setting where Dragons and humans exist and clash often. As the video continues, we see the Main Character who is a performer, a rockstar with an electric guitar ,Light War Armor, Gauntlet and a Helm & long Hair. He is mentioned as the savior of dragons and tamer of trolls. Being able to ride dragons and make them fight his battles most likely due to his Charismatic storytelling and his ability to play guitar which is quite an amusing idea! It makes him one of the most (if not the most) powerful being to exist, without even picking up a weapon.

The Character Design is clearly Cartoony with most characters being 3 heads in proportion and has a lot of appeal which adds a blend of comical and casual take on the theme , a unique way to portray this concept in my opinion. The sequencing and acting of the character demonstrates a layer of wild Rock and Roll touch to a fighter with a number of quality keyposes that I found aspiring and compelling on the lines were it hits the theme accurately with the movements of the characters

I had never thought distinct ideas ie Metal, Dungeons and Dragons, Toons and 2D Animation could work in such harmony to promote a Game that i was unaware of (which i ended up downloading because of how much i loved this video!). This opens up new horizons for my thought process while coming up with a concept or a story and exploring elements which in the beginning might not even look anywhere close to being related. P.S. Heres the link to the Video

"Ah. I'm sorry about that. This little guy ran off because he got a little too close to weapons testing earlier. And they were testing mines." Fuery sighed and lifted Black Hayate up into his arms. ~ team-chaotics

Hotaru had paused when she heard barking and turned to look at the ground to see a small dog. She didn't always like dogs, but these small ones were fine. Then hands appeared and snatched the dog and Hotaru looked up to see a young looking man with large round glasses that were... charming. She smiled at him, and gave a small bow in greeting. "Shinpai shinaide kudasai. There was no harm done." She said and reached out to scratch the small dog's ears. Then she noticed the uniform. "You must be military. Do you know Ed? He's been such a joy to have in my shop." Hotaru smiled happily, thinking of the young boy that helped her run her shop.
