#thank you Kit

We talk about blinding whumpees all the time, but what about deafening them?

When does the good old fashioned screwdriver-to-the-ear come back in style?

Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?

i have a very deranged vampire pandalily fic sitting in the back of my google drive that is a bit too explicit (in a bloody gory lesbian kind of way) for comfort

Hi Palekit!!!! How is it being awake? Are you having fun?

Palekit appears to be quivering with excitement, fond of the apprentice who shares a name.

See, that was my reaction when I woke up 5 hours later to see 105 notes on the post

It's ✨done✨

I forgot to tape it down and it's wrinkly now but it's alright because it's taped to my sketchbook now >:D

The feathers are a pain

That's all I have to say

[pharmasrightarm]

Hello hello!! I just wanna start off by saying how GORGEOUS your art is! Truly inspiring. I was wondering what your process was? Again, your art is truly impressive

Thank you!! Oh man, it was a saga and you've opened a can of worms because my favorite thing to ramble about outside of sad gay space robots is our unholy overlord Photoshop (warning for length)

Hatching workflow: step 1: have too many Doré artbooks The refined process is thumbnail > cleaner sketch > black-and-white base OR 3D render > cut out whites > clean up edges > mask out each building/section > hatching lines with the upcoming layer setup

One:

And another:

Below is the layer setup I use for hatching! First I separated each element into its own folder, with its own mask—

Then used this structure in each folder— I just want the hatching lines to appear black when on lit areas, and white on shadowed areas (as opposed to having to draw part of a line in white and another part in black). So, after separating the lit and shadowed sides, I copied the "Light" layer, clipped it on top of a folder of hatching lines, and inverted its layer mask.

(*I draw on layer masks because it's easier to recolor lines + toggle between drawing and erasing with the "X" shortcut (I have fore- and background colors set to black and white for layer masks))

Sometimes I do a pass of grayscale values and overlay that layer on top as a reference while hatching.

I've two main brushes: one choppier and one smoother and tapered at the ends (for thin lines, 2px-3px). Really thin horiz/vert lines are just the Pencil at 1px.

Black-and-white workflow with 3D:

Tbh at first I only intended to make that one lurking Drift illustration. But I cower from 3D like it’ll kill me, so I turned it into a 3D assignment. First I used that "separate ways" piece to make myself model at low stakes (I just made items from the comic backgrounds and jammed them together), then I modeled the Dead End wide shot and got the final lurking Drift comp from that.

1. Drew enough detail to model (>see the 5th image in this post)

2. Used fSpy to generate a Blender camera that matched my perspective

3. Shoved together the barest essentials of the clinic set in Blender (setting the 5th image in this post as a background image in Viewport)

4. Rendered at hi-res twice: once with lighting, once with Freestyle outlines.

5. Changed clinic design in the close-up, so I went back to revise the wide shot.

In conclusion, my hobby is wrangling Photoshop to minutely speed up the extremely tedious and niche thing I can't stop myself from doing If anyone's got a faster way to do any of this, tell me!!

here's a gif for funsies because I get 1 more image on this post

i have a couple questions about honeyspring's kits. what even happened to make them phase out of existence and non existence? did they die too soon to make it to starclan? did the mourningsbane somehow make it so that they couldn't go to the afterlife?

what did they even look like?

I say that Honeyspring's kits phase in and out of existence because while they physically exist, it's difficult to say if they could form spirits! They never had the chance to form likes, dislikes, friendships, etc...and they never will.

They're blank slates, and they'll be that way forever, never to grow up or become their own individuals, can something like that even form a tangible spirit? Can they exist in an afterlife when they never had the chance to exist at all?

Though, here's what Honeyspring's kits spiritually look like if you're interested! I do have actual designs for them from The Incident, but they were a bit gruesome! <3
