Since I've been updating one of my bleach fics more recently, I felt the once-in-a-blue-moon urge to draw something from it.....decision I VERY MUCH regretted lmao, because what I picked was SUPER difficult to draw, and I had to take some creative liberty with these designs, lessening the detail in them (Didn't even have a proper ref for Oni-Ichigo to begin with...).
Still, I managed to finish this at least. Fanart isn't really my thing anymore that much so these will be rare, even if I am writing semi-regularly.
The scene this bases on from Jack of All Hollows:
(Context, this is a memory viewed by "main" Ichigo of the story, Oni-Ichigo is a separate person)
Grimmjow eventually shifts, now just sitting on the bridge ledge properly, dangling his bare feet over the water. His companion follows his example, though chooses to keep his legs towards the bridge instead, sitting the other way around. He was still glancing at Grimmjow, and Ichigo could tell that color on his demon doppleganger’s face wasn’t just alcohol. He looked like there was something he was trying to say, but was hesitating.
Ichigo knew what it was.
Clearly, Grimmjow was aware of his companion mulling over something, as the blunet eventually snorts and turns to look at Oni Ichigo annoyed.
"What?Ā Spill it,Ā I can literally hear yer overthinkin’ shit again.ā€
"You can share memories, not read minds.ā€
"The gears in your brain are so rusty they make shit ton of noise, Kurosaki. Hard not to hear all that.ā€
The ginger demon laughs at that, his reaction seemingly confusing his companion a little, the point he now grabs Oni Ichigo’s arm and threatens to throw him into the river if he didn’t explain what was so damn funny now. His companion eventually manages to stop laughing with a wheeze, now looking back at the pouty looking blunet, who was clearly still confused about his behavior.
"Yer way too drunk huh; never knew your stubborn ass was this lightweight.ā€
"Yeah, guess I am.ā€
Watching the pair, Ichigo felt uneasy now, suddenly having a feeling this wouldn’t end well for his twin. Obviously, this Ichigo had died, but beyond that…
Suddenly, his twin leans closer, clearly catching Grimmjow off-guard. The kiss doesn’t last long, and once his twin pulls back he had gone completely red, now averting his gaze and rubbing his neck sheepishly. Grimmjow had gone completely stiff, just like he’d done that night at that other bridge.
"S-sorry. I….uh.ā€
He seems to struggle for a moment to decide what to say, still avoiding the blue eyes staring at him. Grimmjow still hadn’t moved an inch, as if his brain had short circuited and he was struggling to process what just happened.
"….You know. You’re not as bad as I thought when we first met. And lately, I don’t know. I just….I like hanging out with you, when you’re not trying to kill me.ā€
Oni Ichigo chuckles sheepishly, still avoiding his gaze. Grimmjow now turns his head away, his face still unreadable, though the shock seemed to have faded. The atmosphere around the pair had shifted from the easygoing drunkedness to something much more tense and awkward, though Ichigo wasn’t sure if he was reading it that way, or if the emotion was attached to the memory itself.
"I’ve been thinking about that a lot. And….I-I don’t think itsā€¦ā€
Oni Ichigo swallows down hard now, finally daring to look up at Grimmjow. Seeing that uneasy look in his eyes, oh fuck he was scared too. It had clearly taken his twin a lot to bring this up, and so far, neither could tell what Grimmjow was thinking.
"I don’t think it’s friendly affection I’m feeling.ā€
Silence.

etiquette for using & crediting art
right, well, I'll get straight to it instead of messing about like in my other tutorials. editblr has a serious problem with people not crediting artists, we all know that, I don't need to talk much about it. but I figured instead of just making one of those posts, I'd make one explaining the etiquette for such things and how you can appropriately use fanart in your edits. oh, and also what could happen if you refuse to offer those credits
contents table:
stop letting them use your shit to train ai models
why credit is important, and what lack of credit could potentially do to your account
how to source your fanart
how to differentiate fanart from official art
how to find credits for art blatantly stolen and reuploaded to pinterest when all the caption says is "credit to the artist!"
knowing and understanding artist boundaries
how to give appropriate credit
alright, cool, let's talk about it
Tumblr media
— stop letting them use your shit to train ai models
if you've been on tumblr for a bit, or have just gone through the general settings, you'll probably have noticed that in the visibility tab there's this not-so-fun setting automatically turned off:
Tumblr media
yeah. that's fun, isn't it? since you're using fanart, and most artists don't support nor engage with ai, it's basic respect to opt out of such a thing.
settings -> visibility -> bottom option
Tumblr media
— why credit is important, and what lack of credit could potentially do to your account
I feel I shouldn't necessarily have to explain why credit is important, but I will anyway. in the plainest terms, they made it, it's theirs, so credit them. it's a simple concept, no? hm, but I know that doesn't sound important to some people, so imagine if someone stole your edits and reuploaded them onto their own blog, but in the caption all it says is "idk who made this originally, sorry" or "credits to artist".. I bet you'd feel pretty pissed off about it, right? your hard work being stolen by someone you've never heard of, who didn't even bother putting in the effort to search for you.
another thing: credit is still important when they're a figurehead in the community you're editing for. yes, their artstyle may be familiar to you and the others in your fandom, but to an outsider it's just another piece of fanart that remains uncredited.
if you use art that doesn't belong to you, and the original artist finds it and doesn't want you using it, you could face a takedown. of course, most artists are kind and would send you a polite notice first, but there's always that chance they could send over a takedown request to your post and therefore your blog with zero warning. three of those, your blog gets deleted. they're incredibly easy to send off, and afaik tumblr gets to them pretty quickly.
oh, and also people typically don't look favourably on those who can't be bothered to credit artists, so you'll end up losing connections with other editors as well, if you care about that.
Tumblr media
— how to source your fanart
stay away from pinterest. I cannot stress this enough, I understand that pinterest is by far one of the easiest platforms to find fantastic art on, but having proper credits is more important than the 5 minutes of time shaved off by stealing a reupload.
twitter, instagram, tumblr, pixiv, and deviantart are all good places to search. though, do make sure to check for ai on deviantart especially, it's like a rat infestation over there.
Tumblr media
— how to differentiate fanart from official art
fandom wiki. I know, we all hate fandom wiki, but whether your media is popular or unpopular it's likely to have a fandom wiki dedicated to it, and people will archive all official art there. if you're unsure, cross-examine the potential fanart piece with the archive.
if you hate fandom wiki that badly, there's also archival accounts scattered across different platforms, so you can use those.
if the art is official, then for company-ran medias it's normally okay to just add "all art is official" or leave it uncredited; though that's also somewhat of a dick move. but for smaller things like web-comics and games that aren't hosted on any big site, and have no huge monetary support, it's nice to include the name of the artist and/or creator.
Tumblr media
— how to find credits for art blatantly stolen and reuploaded to pinterest when all the caption says is "credit to the artist!"
reverse image search, that's my simplest answer. with chrome at least, it comes with a built-in reverse image searcher called google lens. it's normally highly efficient, so for most art pieces it'll pick up on the artist pretty quickly.
but what if it doesn't? what if it just links back to the original pinterest post instead? well, the weird thing about google lens in particular is that it initially retrieves one post it thinks it could originate from—probably the post with the most traffic going to it, but it then also features a "see exact matches" option underneath that first photo.
Tumblr media
if you click it, it'll show you a whole lot more examples of the art being used.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
normally, you can use that to figure out who made the art, since it'll show you similarly popular recorded instances. however, there are also times when even that fails to grab a source, and you're left only with confusing results. what do you do then?
well, you can either resort to clicking on random sites until you find a username, or you can give up and find a different piece of art to use. it's really just a process of rinse and repeat until you find something usable.
Tumblr media
— knowing and understanding artist boundaries
artist boundaries are typically easy to see and simple to understand. they're normally just in the bios of the artists, which is super helpful. however, sometimes they're kept within links placed on the accounts instead. if you can't immediately see a list of boundaries, then instead start looking for (typically) a link to one of these sites:
carrd
rentry
strawpage
lit.link
skeb (though skeb can sometimes block itself if you have parental controls on, so be aware of this)
scour through them, and you should get an understanding.
right, and for artists who have bios in foreign languages; just translate it, it's not as if google translate or deepl are impossible to use. not knowing the language isn't an excuse anymore.
however, if they still don't have one available, you might have to start searching keywords on their accounts. of course, such things aren't really possible on da or instagram, but on tumblr and twitter, search up these keywords before giving up on an art piece:
credit
pfp / icon / profile picture
use
your art
on tumblr especially, most asks are tagged with something or other, so you can scroll through and check to see if there's anything there too.
and if there's still nothing.. well, just ask the artist about it. if you don't want to do that, then it's not a good idea to use it, and it's back to the drawing board for you.
Tumblr media
— how to give appropriate credit
by including "art credit - (username)" in the description, ordinarily. however, you should note that most people who use rentry graphics don't care for art credits, and won't include them if they're using said graphics. so, that's why you put a watermark on it, so it's basically like forcing credit to be given. it doesn't have to be anything big or flashy, but it does need to be readable, so simple fonts work well.
oh, and ideally there should be a direct link back to the art piece, so if people want to use it also they don't have to scroll through someone's entire account trying to find it.
Tumblr media
anyway, hope that helped somewhat. if it didn't, then pop into my askbox and I'll explain things further.

Ack! I adore how you write for wb boys:3333 can we have some more pinning with nirei, sugishita, kiryu and anzai with the same concept as the other request🄹🄹 but the twist is that: they realized that the reader is hiding her true personality underneath that ā€œperfect popular princessā€ facade of hers and her true personality is that shes distant and has a habit of looking down at others and never once tried to get to know anyone better because of some issues? and wb boys are trying to change that by asking her some questions about themselves and the reader finally feels comfortable showing their true self? (SORRY THIS IS SO LONG OMG I GOT CARRIED AWAY 😭)
a/n : hello dearieee ofc we can , thank u for the compliments you guys are making my days like that 🄹. and trust me i write better with longer & detailed prompts so no matter how carried away you get , you don't have to worry. I wanted to spoil you so i made a different scenario for each of the characters.šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļø the art credits unknown btw. Leave it to me to find the most beautiful fanarts online but not know the source and not be able to use them in proper context. Anyways , this is the first part that is mentioned in the request, if you'd like to read. But some of the characters are different and also the storylines may not match.
Boss Bitch (Pt.2) šŸ’…
Ft : Akihiko Nirei , Sugishita Kyotaro , Mitsuki Kiryu , Masaki Anzai.
Tumblr media
Akihiko Nirei
He was always a people person. He was close with so many people and had so many friends. It was understandable thinking how easy-going , friendly and genuine he was to other people. That was also why it was easy for him to understand sth was wrong with you. Because he has seen similar things a disgusting lot of times before.
Also he had an advantage in your situation. You drew attention too easily to yourself. And considering he had a crush on you for a long time , he has been observing your life to a degree that he can be counted as a stalker. Even tho he isn't harmful by any means...
You engaged with people only when they talked to you first , you sat apart from the crowded groups etc despite the large amount of attention you draw to yourself. You always looked happy no matter what happened , like you didn't give an f about this world. That was the things he first noticed in you.
You didn't really care to make friends either. So he made it his mission to talk to you more even at the degree of annoying you to no end.
He one day came to you at lunch time , sat down beside you and started with small talk. You saw he was genuine and it helped you a lot to open up. And then he blurted out the topic that has been weighing on his mind for a long time.
"I am sorry that i have been holding you up until now , you said you wanted to go back to class after eating. I hope i didn't make your friends wait too much."
It shattered a piece of your heart. It sounded harmless and he probably didn't mean any malice but you got digusted at the thought of having fake friends.
"It's okay , dw. I don't really have that much of friends to hang out anyways. All those people are fake here. I'd rather be alone than trying to put up the 'perfect princess' persona for longer than necessary"
That's the only thing you needed to say for him to understand that you had to keep your distance from people so they don't trap your innocent self into harm. You believed that people are not being genuine to you and trying to get close to you just because you were beautiful and popular so you kept them away and looked down on them , thinking that they didn't deserve a spot near you with that fake-ass personalities of theirs.
He once again made it his mission to be your closest friend. It was easy for him because he always kept attention to your wishes, your needs , just you in general. How to befriend sbd who has no friends ? That was definitely sth only he can do.
He was happy with the outcome on his behalf aswell. He got closer to you day by day , had more time to spend with you. From crushing on you from afar , he came a long way. The next step would be being your bf and he was ready to ask the question when you felt the same.
Sugishita Kyotaro
You didn't wanna be someone special , even in your own life story. You just wanted to blend in and be someone normal but rather ended up being a school celebrity. People always praised you for your heavy but not-noticeable make up and baggy fashion. Without knowing that you wore them to hide the bruises , burns and cut scars over your body ; given by people who have brought you to this world. You had "friends" who knew nothing about the real you but knew only the princess you supposedly are.
Sugishita didn't know what romantic love was by any means. He had read stories , watched movies about people trying to define it. He was just a quiet and awkward kid who didn't take any interest in any girl until you appeared in his life.
It wasn't a love at first sight ofc , he didn't even know what to call as "love" at the start to begin with. But in the end , he now knows that the unusual anger and protectiveness bubbling inside of him when he saw you wincing at the quietest and smallest of touches was love. In it's purest form.
He noticed that you always kept a physical distance between people and yourself , even tho you are supposedly besties with those people. And also bullied the girls who wore revealing clothes to the school , calling them wh0res. When in fact you were just jealous that they got to wear the most beautiful outfits when you were forced to cover all over your body even in summer. He didn't do or say anything , just watched from afar.
Until one day he went to the basement of the school to take some soil for the new plants Umemiya wanted to grow in his garden. He saw you queitly trying to patch up your wounds. You were shirtless so you expected him to apologise and get out. But he didn't. He came up to you and sat right beside you , took the ointment and cotton wool from your hand and quietly applied it to all the wounds on your back that you couldn't reach yourself.
Later that day , your whole life changed. When you went to house an hour late , you expected some harsh slapping and beating. But instead you saw your parents welcoming you in. They also wore clothes that covered all of their bodies and looked at your a bit scaredly.
Little did you know that , that day Sugishita gathered all the Furin together to show your parents a small portion of what they did to you. It was better than any confession you could get. And now you owed him a thank u and a big smooch.
Mitsuki Kiryu
You didn't know what gathered people around you. You weren't as friendly as one would expect from sbd on your scale of popularity , neither you were rich nor you had connections and knew people in power. You weren't even smart , you were just...beautiful. And somehow that made people so interested in you that you could hear whispers weighing down like a fog on every room you entered.
Kiryu have always thought you were elegant and beautiful too. And thankfully unlike other people , he paid attention to you. He saw your passion for your hobbies , he saw how your whole face light up when the cafeteria's lunch menu was sth you liked etc.
But you kept people away from yourself for some reason , you always looked at them like you were disgusted with their mere existence. Other popular girls always messed with you , saying that you didn't deserve to be a popular princess on the school as you didn't even act like one. They were on a different scaling compared to you in terms of effort that's put in beauty.
You were so simple for sbd as popular as you. You didn't really do heavy makeup like other girls of your school , you didn't wear brand clothes or bags , you didn't post a coffee date story every other day. You were easily content with what you had. That somehow caught his interest. But he was shocked when he learned the truth.
You didn't do any of it , not because you chose not to. But because you couldn't even afford to study in that school to begin with. You were an only child so it made it easy for your parents to give up on things for your education but still it hurt him that you couldn't afford what a normal girl your age would enjoy. You didn't have money for those brand items that other popular girls prided themselves with.
But he had more money than he knew what to do with it. And he wanted his crush to have normal teenage girl experiences. So he started off simple. First he paid for your lunch behind your back , for the exclusive menu. Then started leaving small gifts on your desk , along with a note that was written by a "secret admirer". Then those gifts grew bigger ; up until some Prada clothes , Birkin or Gucci bags , eyewears , jewelry , make-up and everything. All of it made all those popular girls invested in whoever your admirer was and moreover , jealous.
One day a note asked you to meet that secret admirer at somewhere in the backyard. That day he confessed both his identity and his love. Maybe being a popular girl all these times was worth it in the end...
Masaki Anzai
You have probably gone through every possible pain this year. You have lost one of your grandparents , your parents divorced , you had to change schools , your bf broke up with you etc. So now you didn't have any energy left to continue living.
Everytime you came to the school at the morning , you were sulking. Anzai saw it , every goddamn time. But whenever sbd tried to engage with you , you put up a brave smile unbotheredly and continued with your life.
You were the school's queen bee , the beautiful popular princess afterall. You had to put up some facade for everyone to not understand sth is wrong and bother you even more. Even tho you were the one putting up a front , you deemed people to be fake because if they were your actual friends , they would understand what's going on with you right ? If they didn't , they weren't your real friends. Simple as that. Even tho it looked like you had no real friends from your perspective.
Anzai didn't like it , in the slightest. Why were you trying to act okay when it most certainly wasn't ? He wasn't gonna let his dearest crush be upset for longer so he took the matters into his own hands and launched a "professional" investigation to find out the reason.
You weren't allowing people that close to yourself and always looking down on them like they weren't worthy of your time , was a result of you being backstabbed by your own friend. Your bestfriend stole your bf , made fun of you in public for your dirtiest secrets that you have shared only with her and left you alone like nothing happened. If it was him , Anzai would have trust issues too.
From that day on , he ended his nonsensical pining. His crush needed emotional support and what typa man would he be if he weren't by her side in her lowest ? He tried to get closer to you by mutually known people and tried to spend time with you even just for sth so clichƩ like studying together. He always made sure that you felt safe enough to talk about your past and he felt like the bestest free therapist you could get. Were you happy ? Absolutely. Because you felt more like yourself after a lomg time. He was happy on both your and his behalf , already imagining a future together...

Your gay or m/m friends and moots + them liking yaoi isn't the whole gay and m/m community. My brother didn't even accuse you of being homophobic. There was nothing in his messages that said you were. He was saying why did you feel the need to bring up yaoi, and by extension, m/m, in a response post that is supposed to be FOCUSING on Kat and the harassment she as a person and her character got.
You bringing in yaoi and m/m in your response while bringing it down to uplift female characters is the problem.
You don't need to bring something down to uplift another. Seems like you're not aware of how we deal with lesbians and w/w in fandom spaces constantly berating and thinking we are overly sexual freaks and bringing down the fanarts and fanfics we make.
And my brother wasn't the one who sent the last "you can't admit to being wrong" message. The format or way of typing may be similar but that was not him. You didn't have to send your followers to witch-hunt and find his identity.
Tumblr media
What the fuck
There is no way this popped up again HELLO?
Sorry about mistaking the anon but also I didn't?? Send anyone on purpose? I'm sorry if that happened! My followers do not represent the person I am and if they harassed anyone, I am so sorry!
However, bringing up the topic WAS relevant to the conversation. The criticism towards Kat is largely rooted in misogyny, and Fujoshis ignoring female characters. The original ask only alerted me of the fact that they were not comfortable with me saying Yaoi
The fetishization of mlm IS a problem in fandom spaces, but again, that was not what the conversation was about. Again, I'd like to have a proper discussion if you will come off of anon to have a civil debate. Otherwise, I will have to turn anon off again. Call me a coward, but I'd rather not deal with constant harassment by people who will not stand by their opinions proudly.

I'm the anon who sent you the anti-Varigo ask.
I'm sorry, I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable. I shouldn't have treated you like a board for unpopular opinions just because I'm too cowardly.
Nah, it's cool. I still plan to respond to your ask properly when my brain decides to become functional again. Because I honestly feel like one of the biggest issues with some people in the Vat7K fandom is this entitled assumption/expectation for everyone to like and support this fanfiction AU. It makes it so that those who feel differently become afraid to speak up. Even if we have valid concerns or criticisms for the story and it's characters. I don't think anyone should become ostracized because of such a thing. We don't hate friends or family IRL for having different opinions. So why should that be the case online? I for one am not going to reject anyone for something like this. I still talk to and help 7K fans on a regular basis. There are nice and talented people who like it. That being said, there are some very bad fans within the community... One thing I see a lot of are baseless accusations towards others. It's often used as an attempt to dissuade them from ships that these people are not partial to. This is why I pointed out the Varigo age gap hypocrisy a while back. Just so that these toxic fans in particular could hopefully come to the understanding that the AU that they hold so dear wouldn't exist in the first place if the creators didn't draw shippy fanarts of 14 year old Varian with their 24 year old D&D OC. They changed ages for this self insert AU in the same way regular fans do for other ships. So there really isn't a reason for these Varigo shippers to make excuses or delude themselves into thinking that they are the exception. It's not a big deal? Not everyone who changes character ages for stories is a creep with bad intentions. It's kind of insulting to the creators of the AU to think this way. Maybe someday these bullies can finally start to view things from the perspective of those who they have needlessly harassed. Sometimes I feel like fans don't understand that I probably would be indifferent towards this AU if it was easy to avoid. It's not a canon continuation to Varian's story, but those who want it to be will interject it into conversations or stories without warning or proper use of tags. So basically they become like the fandom equivalent of a stranger who plays loud videos/music on their phone in public without headphones on.

So I’ve seen that you draw the sins and other’s characters with different ethnicity’s, I was wondering if you had any specific races for them? I just find your art style so beautiful, but I was curious if anyone was a specific race you head canon them as.
sorry for taking so long!! house md hyperfixation had me in a chokehold (binged all 8 seasons), but anyways!!
i've been think about this and here are my ideas :3 btw, these are for a modern!AU (in which i'd HC that all the events happen in England, since the likelihood of you encountering such a strange group is much higher in a city like London), since if i was sticking more closely to canon it'd be pretty boring since they'd all be Scottish šŸ’€
Meliodas (+ Zeldris): BRASIL NÚMERO UM CARALHO ā€¼ļøā€¼ļø sorry but there's just something about them,,, they'd def be Brazilian (and mixed, in terms of skin tone)
Tumblr media
Diane: Scottish (and Black) - this one i don't really have proper reasoning for aside from the vibes that the giants' land has just fits best with where it is canon - rocky landscape with few trees, pretty cold, etc. and also i don't know where it started but the collective HC of Diane being Black has made it so that i genuinely forget she's real pale in the canon
King (+ Elaine): English - the royal vibes make me think posh English lads - they are absolutely the British stereotype and feed into it unknowingly (they'd be rather pale, with a tendency to get freckles)
Ban: Russian (or any other flavour Slavic) (i feel too guilty and self indulgent HCing him as Polish,,,, but i want to😭) - i also HC him as albino in the modern!AU, if we're being more realistic, which i should def do some fanart of sometime
Gowther: South Korean - methinks it just fits with their fashion sense and mannerisms - they absolutely indulge in all kinds of Korean and Japanese dramas/shows/movies (they'd be on the tanner side)
Merlin: Welsh - mage,,, wizard lady,,,, speaking niche languages,,, yeah, Welsh,, tho i do think she has somehow managed to learn like 7 different languages and visit close to every country on earth - something something endless pursuit of knowledge (i think she'd be pretty pale, as when she isn't out on the other side of the world, she's indoors, barely getting any sun)
Escanor: Spanish - also would have dark skin, since i HC one of his parents as being Moroccan. source? reason?? my beautiful brain
Elizabeth: French - same reason as King and Elaine, the typical royal vibes just drew me to these decisions (tho, alternatively, i do think she would also fit being from England) (either way, she'd also be pretty pale)
so yeah!! thats what i came up with, but id be very curious to hear any other ideas/HCs y'all have :3c

hi there!!! I actually really really love the designs so much and I'm so excited to see what comes next. I have a few ideas ( that i relate to ).
Would y'all be willing to do:
OSDD 1B
MaDD
Cotards
OLD
Objectum / POSIC+
I'm pretty sure OLD ( Obsessive Love Disorder ) isn't recognized as a disorder, and i do understand if you don't want to do it for that reason. I just heavily associate myself with it. If you do decide to do it, maybe there could be diffefent types ( platonic, romantic etc ).
And for Cotards, I'm pretty sure its common flag is the blue/grey/black one!
And also are people allowed to draw fanart of the already existing ones + make ocs n such as long as you're tagged/credited?
Sorry this is a lot, I'm super excited and i didn't know if seperate asks or one ask would've been better /gen /nfta
We have an OSDD 1B Kitty!
There are a lot of things that MaDD could be referring to, so I can't say if we have one done, making one, or need to add it! It's best to use the proper names to avoid confusion!
Adding Cotard's Syndrome to our sheet!
It may not be an officially recognized disorder, but it is an officially proposed one that is used by some mental health professionals to describe an experience of symptoms so I don't see why we can't do an Obsessive Love Disorder Kitty!
Also yes! Feel free to draw fanart, make ocs, etc! Once I feel like we have a strong enough foundation with this community I want to release the plush base I designed for public use (no harm in it after all!) Our flag artist likes to make Kitty designs for personal use based on their own flags. You're free to tag us in anything you want us to see! Or just tag it as #disability kitties!
You are completely fine! This was fun to go through and we love answering asks and requests!
Project Lead, @alexandraisyes

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how Pesterquests Beta Kid story was amazing but what came after became such dog water (sorry jade.) I mean some of the sprites (and I only mean *some*) are good, like Kanaya being a standout, and Nepeta being on point if nothing else, but jegus it went downhill fast. and the reasoning for the some of the design choices on sprites like Terezi's... or Janes? at least Feferi's doesn't look entirely awful even if its not good in comparison to most fanart you can find with a simple google search of her name. I know its old news by now, but did they just have an entirely different author for act 2 and 3? it definitely feels that way. which sucks because the Beta Kid story for Pesterquest is so good and wholesome with all the kids being exactly like how you'd except them to be including Jade and Rose who I'd expect the most trouble writing for (even in Fanfic, you either get a rose who isn't on point and is instead a less irony focused Dave with none of her proper eloquence or is just a bit of a paper bag. Or Jade, who is all too easily written to just be a female John, when yea, in the situation pesterquest is presented as, Jade would be PISSED and rightfully so, and its that somewhat underused anger that I imagine most JadeKat fans use to help justify them being together assuming this isn't the Karkat we get post Act-5.)
How can whatpumpkin make something like Friendsim, and act 1 of Pesterquest, and some of the other (very few) good very on-point homestuck stuff, but primarily want to ruin homestucks characters, reputation, and brand with stuff like... everything after act 1 of pesterquest, the epilogues and beyond canon, wasting all our money we fundraised for hiveswap, ect? The fact FriendSim 2 is legitimately very good (most of the time, some of the authors politics do shine through slightly IMO but given the vast majority of the game its very easy to look beyond.) and easily beats out most of what they've made, not even counting other fan projects, all whom are very poorly funded unlike What Pumpkin and work with far smaller teams 9 times out of 10 is unforgivable. Also Nepeta <3 John <> Feferi is better than davekat (and would be very funny to see a sitcom esc fic about them.)
People like to jokingly say that after the trolls got fully introduced by Act 5, at least the ones after Karkat, Kanaya, Terezi, Tavros, and Vriska, it all went downhill from there. Trolls were a mistake. Each Pesterquest route is different from each other. I think it's more of after Andrew Hussie, each person gets assigned to the Beta/troll/Alpha kid, however, they don't SHARE or communicate with the other authors to see if their story routes may conflate with what's to come before or after. And they will only know what the previous writers had done only AFTER it has been released to the public. Which is bad practice in general. I can't even excuse them as being indie since some members of WhatPumpkin is also helping out for Hiveswap, which was funded as well by 2 million dollars.

Hundreds DEAD and thousands INJURED after user FeatherGlum got too silly with her "There will come soft rains" fanart, ultimately turning 2 versions of the same smart house into separate OCs instead of just making humanoid versions of the robots like she initially planned. More under the cut.
Tumblr media
So yeah, sorry to anyone who was hoping to see more art of the silly caterpillar in his original form.
Anyway, these guys have proper names and a loose story idea now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The caterpillar guy is named Fryc (short for Fryderyk) and the other guy is Witkacy (Yes, like the artist. Not to lore dump or anything but a lot of robots in that universe are named after historical figures and famous people so it's not that unusual). I won't go into too much detail on the plot until I give them proper reference sheets, but they're just two guys hanging out in an alternate version of Poland after all humans disappeared. Except the circumstances of their disappearance were a bit unusual + it's been less than a decade since then so things are still kinda chaotic and there isn't really a proper robots society yet if that makes sense? Some of them have moved on and started living their own lives but others still cling to their previous jobs out of fear that humans will come back and destroy them for disobedience.
Like I said, I'll elaborate on the lore later, but drawing their refs will take some time so don't be afraid to send asks about them ^_^

Do you have a set process for coloring and rendering / adding texture to your art? If so, would it be alright for me to ask what goes into that process? I'd love to learn how an artist I admire goes about their work!
Omg I'm so flattered, I'll try my best to explain it!! ^^
Tho, okayyy, I apologize beforehand for how incoherent this might be, since I don't really have a set process at all and mostly I fake it 'til i make it haha. I'm the first to admit that I don't have a ver consistent method and that shows in how irregular in quality my art can look, even inside the general sketchy look.
(Btw sorry if some of the fanart i use for example doesn't make you comfortable but I've tried to find the best examples for each type of coloring haha)
I'll start with the brushes I rely on the most, tho I admit i made the mistake of downloading too many brushes and textures so I might use others on rare occassions xddd
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are basically the brushes I use the most. The "mezclador redondo" is just CSP's default paintbrush and I only tweaked it to find sth I liked and felt comfortable with for both lining and painting
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you can see here I only used one layer for lines and other three for each of the guys' colors. I colored it all with the default brush (tho unfortunately I lost the settings I used for this drawing in particular and haven't found them again rip). In drawings like this I just do a sketch, clean the lines (no lineart) and then paint it. After the base color I start laying out different hues to make the coloring more interesting.
Tumblr media
This one was the same. One layer for coloring, manually adding lighter hues (see the more light and yellowish color on grovyle's left leg compared to the shadow) or darker tones. I try to add color to the shadows as well to make them feel less flat, and an airbrush in overlay tends to help with that (tho here I just used a brush).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here you can see that I often paint over the lines on another layer to correct mistakes in the "lineart" lol. I also applied an airbrush (layer mode overlay) over celebi to make her more bright. I wanted to put this one to show that coloring doesn't have to be detailed to look nice enough. Here Celebi basically has no shadows at all but the tone of the drawing makes her look cute anyways imo ^^
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In these two you can see adjustements over the full image again (yellow layer), but I also wanted to show that I don't have a set number of layers either, it depends on how many I feel like using. Again, sorry for the lack of consistency but im too lazy to have a proper method lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I will also use harder brushes and tone changes sometimes, instead of blending them with less dense brushes. I am also fond of adding hard lighting in some drawings. You can experiments with it on a top layer and delete it if it doesn't fit, so it's always worth a try.
Tumblr media
Another thing I recommend is studying and copying artists you admire or like. Add things from their styles into yours, see how they work with proportions and try to use that in your own art. It has helped me a lot and, without looking to fully copy anyone's style, it does give you some ideas of how you wish your drawing would look, which motivates me (when it doesn't depress me lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, the texturing isn't consistent either. I use one of CSP's/Downloaded texture packs, put a grainy texture on the canvas, set it to overlay and adjust the opacity until I'm satisfied. In these two images you can see I am not consistent in coloring even in the same comic lmao. But we are doing this for fun, so I think experimentation is always sth worth exploring ^^
And I think that's all I have to say. I don't control color theory at all, so I can't really explain how I choose colors. I look up some tutorials on youtube and pretend I understand lol. Ig the one thing I tend to do a lot is changing hues in a base color to make it look less flat, the same as with shadows.
Anyways I hope this was helpful or that it at least waas what you asked for haha. Thank you for the interest!! :DD

Hey, I just wanted to let you know there’s a tiktok that used your comic about femshep and joker without credit. I’m honestly kinda new to this stuff but I tried to report them, but I don’t know if it did anything. Here’s the link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMjaJ8cgB/ (and if this oversteps anything I’m really sorry, I just remember hearing other tumblr artists getting their work stolen and I really love your art and didn’t want it to happen to you. I hope you have a good day!)
I'm so sorry for taking so long to respond to this, but thank you for letting me know! Thankfully the person who uploaded the tiktok didn't remove my watermarks from the panels, so there's still some credit attached to it and I'm cool with letting it be.
In general though, so long as proper credit is included I don't actually mind if my work gets reposted to other social media, because I don't really use any site other than Tumblr.
To me, my art is kind of like a conversation and my way of throwing my thoughts out into the world to see how they resonate with other people. As long as someone else isn't claiming it as their own work and it's possible for other people to find the rest of my stuff if they're interested, I'm just happy to see my stuff connecting with more people (plus most of my stuff is fanart so if someone tries to make money off it, that's for the IP holders to deal with).
So if you or anyone else ever sees more of my art posted on another site, I would very much appreciate the heads up, because I'd like to see the comments/reactions it's gotten!

Soooo I don't think I'll be hearing back from that studio I tried to get into contact with, but no matter! I'll still spotlight them as I said I would, and I highly suggest you check out Choc Chip's "The Art of Murder"!
It's very much a love letter to creatives and artists (it's funny because I personally started out making only ocs and fan characters, the fan art only came later, haha). But if you're interested in a murder mystery musical, I highly suggest it!
(I get a bit into personal stuff below ^^')
It is looking like I might be going into factory work potentially seeing as jobs seem a bit scarce (or just all not suited to me, I don't have 3 years of professional experience :/) and commissions aren't active (which that's perfectly fine) So if post-New Year things start to slow down in the art department, that might be why. No matter, no matter how things go down I still plan to do art still! Both commissions and other things!
These last few months have been kind of whiplash for me as I never really experienced having many eyes on my stuff, let alone asking about things I've done (even if it's AU stuff). And while it's totally in part of me just becoming more active here and making fanart (which has also been a breath of fresh air for me and rejuvenated my energy for art) it's still crazy to find that I have over 500 followers. While I know that's not really "big" nowadays, it's still crazy to see as I've always been used to 20 followers or at most 70 watchers back on DeviantART. But I've been loving seeing all the interactions with my art, discussions with posts and polls, and I've met some very sweet people.
So thank you to everyone who's just liked my art, reblogged, followed, even just left a comment and fled. It means a lot. I'll do a proper "New Year's wrap-up message" probably, and this isn't gonna be my last post of the year (most likely), but I have been going through some motions. I don't really know where my art journey is leading me, but I know that there are still plenty of things I want to keep going with it both in a personal and professional sense. Hopefully, I'll get into an animation studio or something some day, it just might not be now. I'm sort of tired of not making any money. And of course, student loans are creeping in, so I need to start being wary of that ^^
Sorry for the random spiel there. Again, I've just been having some Downey thoughts I guess. I like to keep life stuff relatively free around here, unless it counts to something in fiction (like rep in media and media literacy and all that). Again, thank you for all the support that's been given thus far, it's all been very surreal and very sweet.

It really makes me happy that people have been kind and patient towards me ;w;. Honestly, it just puts a smile on my face and I feel incredibly grateful! I try my best to keep on trucking, both in the virtual space and irl >w<. I am slower with art as of late, which I hope to get out of that stump because I would love to finish up my art queues to work on both the ask blogs and do a art raffle, as a sort of thank you! Speaking of art, I really would love to try to work on gift art for other friends ;w;. I do a good amount for the same friends but I feel I should show my gratitude to others too! I even want to do fanart of smaller creators characters, to show that they are appreciated and I want them to continue doing their best with their works >w<!!! Oh and uh... Something I still want to try someday is being a gaming Youtuber! It was something younger me always wanted to do but never had the proper resources, nor editing knowledge at the time ;//w//;. I still don't have knowledge towards video editing but I do know there are tutorials to help with that! Heck, I even made a chibi PNGTuber model of my updated Persona, although she isn't done just yet qwp. Here is the design tho!
Tumblr media
I, uh... Want to do this thing, not all the time but here and there sometimes, where Youtubers back in the day do shout outs ;//u//;. Because I would love to give others recognition! Will I have the numbers? I don't know really. Admittedly me wanting to be a Youtuber is just to do this for fun and to help kick me out of my shell, to get comfortable socializing with other people ;w;. I use to be a mega social butterfly but now I struggle to do that ^ ^". It's why I am doing my best to kick myself open. Twitch streams really help me open up a little, tbh ;;w;;! I really would love to do more of that. I, uh, havent done it for months tho. It is moreso because of two things, tho the first one is major to me. One is computer. While I did got the issue repaired, I am still paranoid that it would shut on and off on me again during streams ( It has happened several times months ago ). It's why I plan to get a new computer instead ( I'll need to do a lot of art to achieve that, considering that most of my money is spent for irl care of myself, like food and internet ;w; ). Another is family. I have noticed that they would try to come in more and more without knocking, or respecting that I am preoccupied with something ^ ^". Youtubing feels easier for the time being because at least I could pause recording here and there, in case family tries to interrupt again ;;w;;.
But uh sorry for rambling ;;. I have so much I really want to do, to regain my confidence again and socialize with so many people like I have in the past! I really would love to create new friends and really need to try my darnest to properly socialize again ( Instead of hiding and only speaking with a small specific group because aaaaaa I havent fully quite gotten out of my shell yet. I am getting there and have been making slow but good progress! I hope to keep this up! ) Being a social butterfly again, become a Youtuber and Twitch streamer, successfully create my first game, create my own family, and just have a fun happy life! Really just want to vibe and make others happy >w<!
Thank you to those that have read this ;w; You guys and friends makes me feel appreciated and want to continue forward
