I lost it for some time but I'm finding back all the reasons I loved RWBY so much in the first place, and I think I can feel it as I redraw Penny, Ruby and many other things ♥ I have this Vacuo comic idea in mind for like a year now, and I think I can finally draw it

your rendition of sycamore is scrumptious, I eat it up every time

Fhfhfhf thaaaanksss I hope I'll keep feeding you well 🧡🧡🧡

As I'm not immune to compliment on my artstyle on a character I adore, I feel the absolute need to draw said character MORE each time I'll receive an ask about it u_u

Happy birthday Valefor!

It all started with this lil post - here. I can't believe it's only a year.

Thank you.

---

Let me get cheesy / emotional under the cut,....

Well,... where do I start? I have so many words in my head - I don't know where to start.

Maybe,... maybe I keep it short and simple this time.

Thank you so much my boy, for opening this door for me,... You will forever be my very special boy. With you I found my creativity again and most importantly - I met so many wonderful people along the way ♥

Life has changed - I was able to opened up more and more. Getting out of my little shell of fear and self hatred. First just Tumblr, then ArtParty and lastly Discord,... it all helped so much.

I still have to tackle many fears day by day. Many mean head demons that tell me I should go - leave everything behind because I'm too much. Too annoying, Too weird,... too emotional? ... idk. I'm much more confident with myself now, yet I still deal with a lot of self doubts.

I'm really thankful for everything - for everyone that had entered my life and is so patient and wonderful to me. Some patient enough, to get me out of my comfort zone - dragging me more and more into this lovely community. Motivating me.

I still have a long way to go - but,... I feel I'm on a good path.

I know it sounds cheesy, maybe a little bit stupid, too. But I'm in tears and so incredibly happy and thankful.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for this journey! I really can't believe it's only a year.

- ♥

i adore your paintings so muchhh would you happen to have any other tips or tutorials for your process? anything from thumbnailing all the way to final render

Thank you 😭♥ I appreciate that a lot!! To start with I've got my advice tag (both new and veeery old stuff lol), & my youtube has a couple of speedpaints on it, one with commentary including process, brushes etc

In terms of general stuff about how I approach painting, I tend to tailor the method to the desired outcome. I talk about it more in depth on this post here, I also link to some references & tutorials that I really enjoy/recommend!

Besides that though, I guess I can do a little walkthrough of the Whisper & Tangle painting I uploaded a few months ago, since I tried something new with it that I pseudo integrated into my workflow & could be fun to talk about? 🤔

SO yes, I do always thumbnail when I'm doing a bigger painting, and they're definitely not pretty LOL. I usually use the colour fill lasso just to block in basic shapes and values with a gradient map slapped on the top -- I ended up swapping the values around in the end because it let me use the fireflies as the sole light source, making it more character focused! Then it's the usual process of resketching it all & flatting in the base colours (I also added Whisper's wisps hehe), then adding shading:

This is how I usually approach it, w/ all the shading layers clipped to the original flats to preserve editing. Multiply, screen & overlay are the most common layer modes I use while doing this, and if I'm ever struggling I'll sometimes add a gradient map too in order to unify awkward colours etc. The new thing I tried for this painting was doing what's often nicknamed as a 'clown pass' -- which is using hard edged shapes to create an easily-accessible selection mask for each part:

It looks Super funny but I actually found it very helpful, and I ended up using it to select & cut out all of their body parts onto seperate layers, which were then alpha locked. It meant I could go ham w/ large or textured brushes, smudges etc without worrying about losing those edges, or accidentally over-rendering and screwing up the anatomy in the process!!

I've kept doing something similar since, though it's a bit more dialed back; mainly using the lasso select to chop it up directly and preserve specific/necessary edges, grouping up similar body parts on a single layer etc.

After doing all that, I sat down and started rendering. The background was all blocked in & detailed with a hard round brush and these amazing brushes from Devin Elle Kurtz. There isn't anything super insightful that I think I could type on how I render, but I do have that speedpaint I mentioned earlier that'll probably shed more light. It's just a lot of eyedropping & painting, rinse and repeat

When rendering is done I usually add a concoction of adjustment layers, as well as an overlay w/ a noise texture on it. I also sharpen it all after doing so! These are the ones that I ended up adding for this painting:

The dupe & blur is a fun thing that doesn't always work, but it looks super neat when the painting itself calls for it, especially when paired w/ that noise texture. It can make stuff look like an old/low quality photograph or recording -- here's another example w/ a shadow and amy doodle I posted a few months ago:

That's about it for this painting, the majority of the time spent on it was honestly me rendering those damn leaves 🥲 Very tedious but worth it & it was a really good learning experience. I'm not sure if any of this will prove useful but thank you so much for sending in the ask, & if you (or anyone else reading this) wants a similar breakdown for a different painting of mine, please do let me know and I'll try my best to do one!! 🥺💞

i kinda just wanna clear this up, incase if anyone was curious... (probs not)

even though im turning sixteen in less than a week, i will still be keeping my art and my blog E for Everyone (...uhm. minus the occasional profanity... maybe T for Teens is more accurate) so the young'ins will still be able to support my art and my blog.

i dont think i will be delving into suggestive artworks anytime soon, nor will i be reposting suggestive artworks, including those of my ocs. speaking of which, i still ask that y'all avoid sexualizing me and my ocs if you were to make any fanart of them.

i love all of yall, and i will not be throwing you guys away just so i can appeal to the "older audiences." im happy with the community you guys have made with me, and it should be staying the same for a damn good while.

thanks for reading and supporting me, i really do appreciate all the love and support yall have given me, big and small. i hope you guys continue to enjoy my art and flood my notifs, and... yeah. thats about it for now. thanks for reading, pip out ★★

TOP 9 CHARACTERS I LOVED IN 2023! tagged by my pookies @yenvengerberg @ughmerlin @capinejghafa ♥

This was stupidly hard guys, this years was really tough for many reasons and while I consumed a lot of media, I also struggled to grow attached to new characters, finding comfort in some old faves in times of need. I admittetly had to choose mostly based on which fics I read since january cause that's the only real indication of profound interest from my part so here we are: mismatched besties at best ♥ ALSO YES I CHEATED! All my thoughts have been consumed by Baldur's Gate 3 since august and I just couldn't leave the gang out (plus I take every chance to spam my videogames sideblog @deimcs I won't hide that lmao) I just loved them so much. With all of these babes here you can easily see why I'm mostly drawn to angst and tragedy and general life struggle in media ♥

Hobby: reading, watching tv shows, singing, learning languages.

Comfort show/movie/book: show - Il paradiso delle signore; movie - The Mummy (1999); book - Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster.

On tumblr since: this blog - August 9th 2022. But technically I've been on Tumblr on-and-off since January 2016. I deleted my previous blog somewhere in 2020 😅

Fun fact about yourself: I got second place at a local singing contest when I was 7 :)
