Prompt 72

 Crane is getting desperate. No matter how much he tries to offset it with human food, his stomach continues to feel like a ravenous void. His hands are shaking, vision just as shaky as he tries to continue the delicate process of creating his toxin, even though he knew it wasn’t going to work. 

 The last seven batches hadn’t had an effect, even as he made them stronger and stronger. He’s getting desperate, feeling more like a starved animal than a man of science. 

 His throat is dry and scratchy despite him just drinking water, and his fangs easily cause his lips to bleed as he bites at them nervously. He taps his claws impatiently at the table, nausea sweeping over his head for a moment before his vision righted itself while waiting for the fear toxin to finish. 

 It doesn’t work. It doesn’t work. It’s strong enough to nearly kill anyone else but it does nothing and he’s going to starve. He was in that damn asylum for too long, and he’s going to die and he doesn’t want to- 

 He’s long since stopped being able to feel fear but at that moment he could almost swear he still could.

(what is definitely NOT the way Aka Akasaka came up with Kaguya-sama:)

Akasaka: [looks at Death Note] this is great, but... Akasaka: What if,,,,, this was a heterosexual* high school romcom,,,, where a lawlight-looking meronia was a lovely couple between man and woman,,,,, and Teru Mikami was a cute, rich, anxious schoolgirl who listens to praise kink asmr Akasaka: [actually makes that premise work really well somehow]

If I could give three ocs three different iterations of the same name without feeling an ounce of shame, there's no reason I should be fighting myself to name a character what I want 🤨

silly comic of a conversation in-game i thought was too funny not to make something proper for instead of a doodle ww

(timelapse + wip images (thus silly process commentary in read more if you like artist commentary :3)

i think the sketch looks silly and goofy and funny so i find it important to share with you the mere presence of the faces i drew on it. i drew it on top of the boxes without staying inside its borders because i find my proportions can get wonky if i draw them cropped in a restricted space. and I feel trapped otherwise and i will draw BAD!!! give me spaceeeee to go wild!!!!

the head circles are there for emotional support

very low res speedpaint because truth is the canvas was much bigger than the space where my comic was placed. i didnt account when exporting my timelapse in 720px that that tiny space would look so pixelated ... but it's able to be percieved, so its okay.

(i will now comment on my process and it is not brief sorry)

usually i would try to clean up my sketches and figure out what goes on top before jumping into linework, but since there are multiple panels and drawings i chose to jump into inking right away for the sake of brevity. i just went in with a brush that uses pen pressure and drew what was needed. i added extra line thickness and contrast in areas around the face because it helps direct your eyes there more easily that way.

according to her equipment rei has a chain belt but i only remembered it existed once I was going to color, and i did not like that discovery... I chose to ignore it to maintain my peace. i already have the color palettes for these characters figured out, and i didnt really want to think about a new element at the moment www I tend to overthink those things a lot so i skipped it

the rest is rather straightforward! not that anything else wasn't, but in here i could turn my brain off and sing. linework and sketching require mumbling so i cannot turn my brain off. just block in the characters with a solid color so i can have a mask (something along those lines,) where the color can stay inside. then just color in !!!

Base colors just had slight cell shading on the skin, and for the hair i airbrush a bit of the skincolor in low opacity near the forehead... I'm not sure what it means, but i can look at the faces easier with it somehow. i like the gentle subtlety it adds even if you cant really tell. it makes things look nice.

background was just me blocking in the color of the wall and floor, shade the wall a bit, then slap a noise and free use wood texture on top. work smarter not harder ! yet it took a bit to make it look stylistically fitting with the characters, and even now i think bottom middle panel looks odd. whatever!!!

for the middle panel i thought itd be funny if the background was a solid silly and colorful one to contrast the next panel's sketchy black one. a contrast to how the word widow is seen. on that note my handwritting is not pointy. i gaslighted my hand into thinking that it was indeed pointy in that moment so i could write "not-yet dead person" in letters that didn't seem cute. my hand did not fall for it but it complied anyway

that's basically it! I'm not sure what else i could say that doesn't feel barebones because it really is that straightforward. if you're curious I used clip studio paint for this. only special brush used was for linework (a brush named Lemon Brush), the rest used were just the default. my computer gets the least credit. it was trying to convince me a 20mb file was going to nuke it all the time and hardly let me save multiple times so i do not appreciate it

I was writing a fan fiction and it got me thinking about how Kell and Lila deal with anxiety. So if you find anxiety a trigger, do not read this post :)

There's this natural remedy for anxiety called Laila. Laila is pronounced lie-la just like Lila. It's so funny to me that a remedy for anxiety is called after her. One may argue that anxiety is a foreign concept to Lila because she throws herself into things as if nothing scares her. But on closer inspection, her nervousness comes through in other ways. She often fights anxiety with actions that are unexpected and rash, and that make her look impulsive. She also manages her anxiety by saying things to justify what she is doing/did but her body language gives her away. Think about the times she cried on page and or times others witnessed her being vulnerable and hurt. That was Lila trying not to lose control over her feelings and keep her emotions in check and rein her anxiety and fear, but she could not because emotions have a way to come out if we try to bury them all the time. She is a pro at masking her anxiety compared to others. That's because she believes that showing anxiety and fear to others is a weakness, and she is scared to show herself vulnerable. Hence, the rare occasions she shows her vulnerable side to someone are precious and denote trust and respect for that person, other than affection. "I feel safe sharing this side of myself with you. Only you will ever see this part of me because I trust you," kind of statement.

Kell is a little different. In my opinion, he's the anxiety king of this series. He isn't cunning and scheming like Lila (who is self-conscious about every thing she does), and you can clearly see he's anxious in a lot of occasions. He worries a lot about Lila and Rhy for example, because they tend to act rashly instead of thinking things through like he does, and they do not always do things that he considers "safe". This generates a lot of anxiety in Kell. At the same time, he wants to leave the people he loves freewill, but he also wants to control their actions because they make him anxious. He isn't reluctant to show himself vulnerable in front of others, but he blames himself a lot when he makes a mistake. He's probably his own worst critic and he tends to hide from the people he loves the most when this happens because he deals with it alone. He wallows a lot when he's anxious and he overthinks stuff instead of finding a practical solution to it, because his mind is his refuge. His anxiety is eased when he goes out of his head and from his looping thoughts, and dares himself to think outside the box, which he rarely does.

Finally got around to watching ep 11 (´；ω；｀)

[yakultii]

guys I spent the last few hours cutting and pasting, feeling like a kid again! I made this for my neighbour across the hall (idk their name, we’ve only spoken once last night) who was upset because their hellofresh was stolen (it genuinely was cause I saw it left inside the building only a few hours earlier)…I saw they put up a sign on the main building door today asking if it could please be returned as they were tired and hungry and I felt so bad and could sense the exhaustion through that note (& when speaking with them last night) + you never really know what someone is going through! So I wanted to do something nice (plus it was the perfect distraction from my own mind!) I’m gonna slip it under their door in the morning, but since I won’t get to see their reaction, imma share here (also front of card is genuinely for anyone who reads this too! <3)

My favorite genre of book is the “list book,” where the contents are essentially one long, cut-and-dry list of information, organized in alphabetical order with no embellishments whatsoever, other than diagrammatic pictures which show the meaning of something. This includes dictionaries in English, foreign language-to-English dictionaries, encyclopedias on various subjects, toxic chemical transportation handbooks for truckers, etc.
