Companions mugs/cups and what they drink, non alcoholic edition.
A little fun exercise!
Lucanis: an elegant, though slightly aged, antivan coffee cup with a slightly worn golden handle. He found it in Caterina's cupboard. Basically what we saw in the game already. He drinks black coffee ofc.
Taash: a large, sturdy stone cup, big but somewhat shapeless, because it has to serve its purpose and stone doesn't melt. A little chipped. Drinks plain water or hot water with some ginger and honey to soothe that throat.
Neve: a simple cup that used to be white, but now has the grey-yellowish colour of something that has been in constant use and perhaps not as well scrubbed as it should be. It is also permanently yellowish-brown on the inside and bottom. Drinks coffee, whatever blend she can get her hands on, and if Lucanis doesn't make it, it's a really bad coffee. Sometimes she will drink black tea for a change. No sugar, nothing.
Emmrich: An antique delicate porcelain liac cup with gold decoration and a handle in the shape of a bone. It's old but in perfect condition, always thoroughly cleaned and kept on a special shelf. Comes with a small plate and skeletal spoon. Likes to try new tea blends, both traditional and herbal, but his favourite is white tea with rose and mint.
Bellara: Elven green cup with some Dalish paintings on it. Chipped and discoloured in places from lack of care. Also has some scribbled notes on a piece of paper taped to it. Drinks elven herbal infusions, her favourite being cinnamon, nutmeg and juniper with a little wild honey for sweetness.
Davrin: Simple and practical wooden cup he made himself, with a small carving of a griffon's feather on the handle, just for practice. Rough in shape, as it was one of the first he ever made. The wood has become a little dark in places over time, but he is careful not to damage or stain it. Will drink anything, but his favourite is strong black tea with lots of sugar. Classic and delicious, and the sugar is indulgent for a Warden.
Harding: Simple metal cup that is sturdy and can be packed for convenience and will not break. Used to be shiny, but has dulled over time. Has a red name "Lace" written on the bottom. Likes anything warm, but since her gift she often drinks lavender, honey and lemon balm infusion or hot milk with honey to help her sleep.
I may or may not draw the cups/mugs, but I'm not sure of my skills at this point. If anyone wants to, feel free!

there are art supplies where it genuinely doesn't make much of a difference what kind of price point they're in but there are art supplies where it makes so much of a difference
#I'm mainly working with water soluble pencils and aquarell at the moment and i took a travel kit from derwent with me on my vacation#i wouldn't even say it was bad per se - not at all tbh#it has a mixture of their water soluble products in pans but I felt a bit limited with the colour selection#since there is no black or dark greys in it#soo i thought I'd try a winsor & newton travel palette and i tested it yesterday and I'm obsessed.....#the change is in the application#with the winsor & newton one you have way more time to spread the colour and apply it where you want#the derwent one dries much faster - which definitely has it's perks but it also means that everything you apply basically stays where it is#and if you have too much pigment on your brush you now have a space with too much pigment#no making mistakes#i guess in a way both have their perks and downfalls but i think the w&n one will deliver more consistently#we'll see 👀#I'll have to practise a lot more#i know I'm just speaking to myself here lmao but I do still love talking about art

#Doodles#Webkinz#Webkinz hours! The cute lads have wedged their way back to the forefront of my mind haha#I'm honestly really glad I kept all my Webkinz plush over time and they've survived all the moves and whatnot#Some are still missing - most notably my horses for some reason - but I have the rest onhand and they're still cute and soft and I love them#Getting the opportunity to name and play with them as a young'un made them stick quite strongly in my mind ♪#And I still find some of my design sensibilities with their roots in the gameplay/game design/UI design/interactivity#I think it inspired some of my Video Game Design brain which is an aspect of myself I'm quite happy with :D#And I /love/ plushies probably now more than ever <3 So I'm doubly glad younger me didn't get rid of them haha#Got my lineup that featured in Tala's Requestober this year ♥ I left out a couple for what are probably obvious reasons ahem ahem#If you haven't seen what the Official design of the clownfish is in Webkinz... The plushy is arguably worse lol why that one of all of them#Hire me to design Webkinz fish I dare you#There are actually several cute fish - and several ugly ones! Lol I don't know why they're so inconsistent#It's not like the differences between Signature and Classic! Most of the fish are Classic or eStore! I don't know what gives lol#Anyway lol the other one I left out was my Night Mare since I couldn't remember his name either - which is a shame! I liked him#I still have some fairly clear memories of playing Webkinz with those lads <3 Of the different rooms and relationships and games#It's nostalgic! It's nice to reminisce on something so cheery and cute and light and fluffy :)#As for the rest hehe - I tend to pick up 'kinz whenever I find them at secondhand shops and the like - much like Lalaloopsies#They're out of production! Harder to find - rare and valuable haha totally#I haven't found any New With Tags so far but I'm on the hunt still!! Someday it'll be my turn...#But I Have found some really adorable fellows for cents on the dollar haha <3 Two Blue Whales and a Sheep and Duck!! So cute#My latest find was a Lil'kinz Lioness Cub and she is - So tiny <3 Really adorably constructed with a fluffy nose ahhh ♪#The Long Eared Bunny is my current Free 'kinz! I unfortunately lost the account with Baaby so I had to start over again but that's alright#This time I've got Embroidery and she's in a closet cosplay of Edgar haha - black-and-grey striped shirt with dark pants and round glasses#And angel wings! I was able to snag those from the Ganz website and they're perfect honestly haha ♥ She won an Open Beauty Pageant with it!#Couple of her with Sugar - my first Webkinz I got to play with since Diamond's tag was thrown away :') Sugar's my oldest 'kinz <3#And of her with smol's Free 'kinz since I convinced her to play with me off and on haha - her Leonberger named Borgus :D#And then one final one of what I'd really like - a Webkinz Spider ;;♥ I /know/ they've made spider objects that are really cute!#And April Fools' fake pets of a spider!!

spotted lanternfly in oil pastels
#i wish we didn't have to kill them since they're invasive here#it'd be pretty dope to get to see them in china or vietnam. then i could properly appreciate them without feeling worried#i found and killed this one while looking around outside for a 'nature model'#the damage is hidden by the wings. i had to wrangle them into the right pose delicately. i think rigor mortis set in#i never realized before that their spots are asymmetrical#or that their beige wings have a purplish undertone#or that they have little red spots under their eyes#i think i like planthoppers as a group a lot#bugs tw#insects#animals#oil pastels#traditional art#artists on tumblr#art homework#spotted lanternfly#i didnt have a black oil pastel so i made do with dark grey green and blue

figuring out babygirl's colors and outfit and hair is hard
#original art#idk if i should tag this since i might delete this later but anyway#original character#oc#you know typically i imagine her and my other characters in mostly slice of life scenarios instead of the... actual lore#so then i end up with not designing her established offical ''main character'' outfit#the point IS for her to be an average (kind of stylish) girl caught up in messy ass business and she plays hero but#im trying to find a way to express her (somewhat) stylish self. averageness. while being main character material#all at once. while trying to have her fashion reflect her as a person (reserved/close off/kind of detached) all at once like *sob#ALSO ive been trying real hard to make her hair interesting without a bunch of bangs and sharpness to her#ive always felt like her hair would look better as curtains/similar to squares + rectangles. yknow bc shes closed off and guards herself#fiiguring out the colors even worse bruh. cant imagine her wearing anything but a mostly white outfit or mostly black outfit#her outfit is mostly grey here because im figuring out the brightness and darkness of the potiental colors#you know thinking about contrast and all that stuff#anyways ill stop... rambling................

So I drew cyrus in one of his outfits from TACO salad!! A amazing fic by Lady_Sandry on ao3. Some close ups under the read more and notes in the tags!
#octopath traveler 1#octopath traveler#cyrus albright#okay Now i can ramble#So. first off i honestly dont think i did a great job making him look like cyrus. i do struggle to transfer characters into my style without#lowkey redesigning (the curse of rarely doing fanart and being a character designer)#constructive criticism welcome btw!!#but some general design notes!!#i wanted to add purple into his color scheme because its simply a color i associate with him (to me Therion is light purples and cyrus is#dark purples)#despite his actual color being black. i just dont like using black unless im doing like blank and white w pops of colors#same thing with white. i normally use off whites.#about his eyes!! they are grey in the fic so here i gave him very grey light purple eyes (for previously mentioned reasons of not liking#black and white)#and!! to represent his magic are the blue yellow and red eye shines. red being the main one since its mentioned he was naturally inclined#towards it in the fic#i used paper and pencil (overlined w a blue pen) then took a picture and drew atop that in ibis paint (great option if you only have a phone#btw.)#also i havent drawn since. literally my last post#so im Rusty#getting back into it yippie<3

I already knew this but yellow and purple being on opposite sides of the colour wheel... Ludger being associated with yellow (his ties, his Chromatus, and a number of his concept art colour palettes) and violet eyed Elle—
(In seriousness, this is probably more to do with Lara, but lemme sound silly for a bit 😋)
#im trying to figure out victor’s redesign colour palette. motherfucker has a lot of choices...#his concept art basically all go with red or yellow or just plain grey#im tempted to go with yellow. especially since he skews closer to being ‘ludger’ than he does ‘victor’#but. i might just stick with the green from victor’s canon suit 😂#partially because ive already commissioned a number of art with it#and partially because. yellow doesnt work well with black unless its very bright or only used as an accent#and its just a bit silly looking if you desaturate it or make it too dark#and i do still want the contrast of elle dressing in light colours and victor in darker ones#yes ive reached that stage of overthinking my choices.#IM NORMAL ABOUT THESE TWO OKAY.#v#x2

currently on a hiatus because i have someone visiting me but astarion having three times the amount of romantic scenes than wyll..........
#wyll literally has more scenes with mizora comparing him to a dog than he has romantic scenes. hes a BLACK MAN thats so uncomfortabl e#like...... :|#astarion in general has double the amount of romantic scenes than ANYONE ELSE.... like#i love astarion. like. hes a fascinating character but if you cant see the favoritism that the white morally grey boy gets compared to#literally any other character... like. take off the rose colored glasses man#i think the blame is with larian ever since i found out that the dark urge writer was on a crunch to write scenes & whatnot#but like..... man. really???? Really?????

My unpopular opinion of the day is that making Chuuyas eyes blue was absolutely the right decision for the anime.
#I sometimes see edits of anime chuuya with brown eyes and it just looks off#the anime has a much higher saturated color palette so he needed some contrast in his design imo#especially since his outfit consists of dark reddish brown and blacks including his hair#so making his hair more orange and his eyes blue really helped making him stand out#the manga has a more washed out color palette#black white brown and grey is what most covers and official art look like#that's why Chuuyas brown eyes and less bright red/brown hair works there while anime chuuya would probably stand out like a sore thumb#chuuya nakahara#bsd#bungo stray dogs#bungou stray dogs

doodled an outfit i plan to wear when i go out sometime this week/weekend in mspaint with my mouse because i’m waiting for the belt and the checkered shirt to get here in the mail and i’m excited lmao
#not sure yet if i'll wear these pants or one of two pairs of shorts (one dark grey and one black with rips)#since these pants look like regular jeans but they have a drawstring and no belt loops#so i dunno if the belt would actually look good with them or not. but the shorts do have belt loops#also not sure yet if the checkered scrunchie will just be worn as a bracelet or actually in my hair#i tried to test out a hairstyle (hair mostly down but with some pulled back into a bun) but it wasn't really working :(

Not me psycho analyzing all of the characters colors in lockwood and co again
#lucy is blue obviously#blue is usually associated with calmness#also saw somewhere that it represents sensitivity but ive also seen that for red so dont think that means much#lockwood is black white and grey#same as Baby in baby driver#in baby driver it was to show how he was still a blank slate of a character#and was living a double life one as a criminal in the dark and the other as just normal Baby with Debra#also to show that things weren't black or white for him he did bad things but he didn’t have much of a choice#im still not 100 percent sure for lockwood#but my working theory for lockwood so far is that since the white is most often covered by his black jacket that the black is his mask#and the white is the real him#the moments he is shown in gray are him letting his guard down and starting to let Lucy and George in and see the real him#george is mostly in orange and black (i think its black it could just be a really dark other color idk) which im still working on#lockwood & co#anthony lockwood#lockwood and co#lucy carlyle#l&co#lockwood and co.#lockwood#locklye#lockwood and co netflix#lockwoodandco#l&co.#l&co netflix#l&co. netflix#george cubbins#george karim

I mean Yokoyama is only 43 and he’s gone dark gray pretty fast but with a touch of tasteful hair streak. He needed to relate to someone
its ok yokoyama your hair looks sick as hell... i accept greying kiryu with my whole heart.....
#snap chats#the rate at which bitches grey has gotta be so funny though like highkey#like adachi's hair is p salt and pepper/arakawa's a solid grey/jo's hair borders on black/dark grey now tbh#ig that makes sense since the progression of 'black' to pure grey/white coincides with their ages in relation to each other#kiryu's like. around the same age as arakawa was in 2019 now aint he he's like 63/64 ?#yeah fair nuff

I’ve been having so much fun playing Splatoon 3 for the past few days since I got it for my birthday! Last night, I finished the story mode and WOW, I genuinely think it’s the best story mode out of the 3 games! I enjoyed playing it till the end, and I even got all of the scrolls, music, items and sardiniums. After another like 2 hours, I even completed the secret kettle 😄
#*dreamy sigh* I love splatoon so much/ I have been a big fan since the first game on the Wii U#I’ve also been having fun decorating my locker but I hope I can get the black or dark grey large locker soon#I want more space to put more stuff in! but also stuff costs money and I don’t have a lot of money in game rn :(#squid sister says stuff

Euphemia's Academy Uniform: Basically like... the top half of Mercedes Uniform (but with a black/gold shawl instead of tan/blue/black) and the bottom half of Bernadetta's uniform (but with blue tights like some other characters instead shorts under the skirt).
#oc: euphemia von lehr#i haven't figured out what her post timeskip outfit is#but since she's geared towards pegasus/falcon knight or dark flier#probably something like ingrid or constance's outfits but with some more flowiness to it#which is predominantly black and grey with some gold mixed in
