Forever thinking about that moment in E.ternal D.iva where D.escole jus. Picks the girl up. So I did a redraw(?) of it the other day.
It looks like whoever it was, they've made a big mistake…
Also an extra tiny thing under the cut that is decidedly more cute than above
(Please reblog! I like reading tags :])

Also also what I was referring to

Hey! I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your drawings ! It has so much life in it, and I don’t know how you come up with those amazing designs for Link but they’re incredible! I never have enough imagination, lol 🥲😅. Seriously, what you do is so great that I’m at a loss for words… Anyway, I support you wholeheartedly, so keep up the amazing work!
Also, if you don’t mind, I’d love to know how you manage to create such dynamic poses and expressions in your drawings; I always struggle with that, haha.
Aaaaaa,I know I’m talking a lot, but are you still working on “Reversal of Fate”? If so, I’d love a little drawing of Link, if that’s not too much trouble 🥺☺️. But if you’re too busy, that’s totally okay too! 😊
WAAAAHHHHHH!!! Thank you sooo much this really means a lot like actually 🧡🧡🧡🧡 I love your art it’s so nice to look at and I get super excited when it pops up on my feed!!! (I especially LOVE ur sksw Zelda and Link designs ^^)
I also value the reversal of fate link fanart you did so much,,, 😢😢😢 Your support means sooo much
I feel as tho ur art already is so fluid and fun so idk if this is actually gonna help u much :( but if it does in any way then yipeeeee !!
Tumblr media
Something I wanna add for improving posing (or anatomy, it really helped me with it) is doing figure drawing! There’s great online websites with models that u can sketch and just get better at doing good posing quick :D Or using reference in general,,,, my art is so messy tho, there’s so many better artists you should look for help to haha IM SO SO SORRY IF THIS DIDNT HELP AT ALLLL
About reversal of fate, yes I am still working on it!!!! I haven’t been posting about it because there are some lore asks I’ve gotten that have been kinda intimidating me so I’ve been quiet about it ehehe
Here’s some rof Link (right one is a sneak peek at a piece I’m working on which I’ll probably post in like so long from now bc there’s so much I have to work on urghhhhhh) ;)

Thanks for the lovely ask 🧡

Partners 🥕🥗 (part 1-3)
So I keep forgetting to post here as well, but it means I get to post things as batches instead of separated parts like I do on twitter. Kinda handy!
I always loved doing parallels between GT/Xeno/SSJ4 Goku and Vegeta and their DBS counterparts. Especially when it comes to their dynamic lmao. So here's a silly thing
(Part 1):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[the other parts are actually based on quotes from GT & Heroes, but this one was initially just having fun] I think it's self-explanatory kek.
(Part 2): GT/Super
Tumblr media
I was basically rewatching GT clips for fun and thought it was funny a lot of people don't realize that in the scene, that inspired this, Vegeta is actually grabbing Goku's -sides- and not his arms. Fulfilling my HC of "they're so involuntarily gay without even realizing it, it's so normal for them" LOL. And also the fact that while DBS Vegeta barely even wants to try fusion, GT Vegeta tries his hardest with the poses.
Tumblr media
[Said scene from GT btw. He's *practically* almost touching his pecs even, too, haha.]
(Part 3): Xeno/CC
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Self-explanatory again, I think! :)
You can clearly not see who my favorite version of this duo is. I love the differences between both a lot.
Tumblr media
Source: SDBH - UGM: Vol.2 Chapter 12.
[Based on Heroes interactions (first page from the manga, second from my memories of the promo anime). I counted and CC Goku uses the family thing on Vegeta the two times they fused into Gogeta in SDBH haha. Not counting the DBS Broly one & in Z for the potaras too. He did that too ig.]
This series (?) is actually fun to draw, and people on twt liked it a lot so I thought I'd share it too.
Inb4 I disappear for months again 💫

Another one of these since i haven't done it in a while! Sketch -> finished illustration
Thoughts & process below the cut :>
Out of Bounds: i deleted the sketch of this off my ipad because i didn't like it, and for months it only existed as a screenshot on discord. finally in january of this year i was like Wait Actually and decided to keep working on it. I didn't achieve the look I was going for (kind of foggy and vague. It came out too sharp and high contrast) but it was fun to throw the kitchen sink at it for an afternoon and then call it done finally. I don't remember which horse this was originally supposed to be, I think Macha?
I reused the pose, you'll find the same one in my Pascal sketchbook from the section on gait studies. That's the cool thing about doing 30 sketches at once, you can finish them up any time you like for a different drawing
The Fool ft Islin: the original concept for this is from [takes a moment to decipher the american date system on discord] January 2022
Tumblr media
It wasn't dynamic enough, but I've had this on the backburner for sooo long. I think I completed like 4 cards in between this sketch and the final version lol. But, for a bit of background, this is from my series of major arcana based in Inver, and in particular the events of the 1860s-era book series, Moth Viper Foal (a demo of the first book, Said The Black Horse, is available for free/pwyw in my shop). This scene is a companion to Said The Black Horse, depicting the aftermath of the traumatic fight that caused Islin to storm off. He had been working at the mill as a semiprofessional back alley surgeon when he received an offer to join the church and work as a trained surgeon in their hospital. But when he brought the good news back to his friends it was met with utter rejection, driving him to basically run away to join the church. while gay and trans. thus the card.
he didn't actually bring a bag with him when he ran out but for the sake of the card i drew him with one
Gryfon and Pantera: This is how 99% of holy beast drawings start out, even the super stylised ones. I struggle a lot to draw them in procreate so they start in sai and then i transfer them over. The story of this is already explained in the caption of the original post so I'll just talk about the process which was... honestly torturous. I actually don't like too much textures and effects on things (wild, I know) and this one and Out of Bounds are ones where I kind of preferred it pre-texturising.
The text on the side is the official in-universe report of the event, detailing the casualties, the valiant actions of Gryfon's knight before he died and so on. There's also spoilers in there :>
My main struggle with this art style is how it always ends up slightly TOO sharp and crisp in a way the just a blur filter never can correct. There's not a lot of immersion to break, to be fair, but I think this still does it a little. I need to get more comfortable doing the lines with larger and softer brushes, and allowing imperfections.

Chibi commission of the client's characters, two best-friends-slash-lovers-slash-partners-in-crime - Isher, a mischievous changeling river spirit, and Labras, who hails from a mountain kingdom! Labras is deaf in his left ear and thus usually keeps people to his right, so I had fun figuring out a pose that a) showed their fun relationship dynamic, b) kept Isher to Labras's right, c) would work with tiny round chibi proportions (sometimes surprisingly difficult! Chibi limbs are so short!) and d) showed off their BEAUTIFUL LONG HAIR. Y'all know I love drawing super-long locks! :D

Dia's FFXIV Art Reference Notes, A possibly long post
Hello! I made this as a thread on my twitter but I might as well post a version of it here. For the record this will be a thread linking to the resources I use when drawing commissions or fanart, I have not made Any of these and whenever I can I will note the creators and link directly to their resources.
Tumblr media
GPose Reference First and foremost, if you're drawing a WOL or ordering a commission of your WOL the most important thing is to take a proper reference GPOSE. I use the method in this post, to make sure I got all the angles. Clean refs are super important when drawing armor/intricate outfits so take care to take simple standing poses like the one in the tweet above. Cool dynamic poses might be fun but they're not really useful for referencing.
Gear/Weapon Reference
If you need good references for a weapon/outfit that you don't have a GPOSE for, I recommend using the attire website
This is a japanese website maintained by @/chiyo_asa on twitter and if you've ever looked up a piece of gear in the lodestone you've almost definitely come across their pictures.
Tumblr media
This is a super rough translation in english of the menu of the website. While it is in Japanese it's very easy to navigate and all the pictures in the site are super high quality and very useful for referencing.
This is my number one source for gear references I haven't taken myself
Tumblr media
The "mirapuri" button afaik is for glams they made themselves that they want to showcase.
An important note about this site specifically is that I believe it's currently undergoing an overhaul so Some weapons/gearsets might not be completely transferred in yet.
That being said, the majority of sets from dungeons/crafting/alliance raids/job gear sets etc are sorted like so, which makes it super easy to look for.
Tumblr media
There IS also a search function but I'm pretty sure it works only for japanese input.
NPC reference sheets
@xivrefsheets Offers really detailed resources of npc models. They also occasionally accept requests on their ko-fi (closed at the time of writing this)
These are super useful and really high quality, especially for some of the boss refs they've done. As someone who doesn't use anamnesis I go back to their refs very often
Convocation of the Fourteen refs
Maintained by @/Igeyorhm on twitter this site has a nice list of Ascian refs per character in addition to some lore bits for each of them. Also some very useful closeups of the Ascian clothes.
Even more NPC and Boss Refs
I believe maintained by @/MlNRATHOUS on twitter, this site has a really nice array of major NPC and boss references in various angles and with colourpicks for skintone and hair which is super useful. I use them a Lot
Lalafell centric refs
Norirow Note is a super cute blog that showcases glam items/ weapons/ chocobo barding and more.
It is NOT meant to be an art reference, however if you play a lala like me, I find their showcases useful when drawing gear on lalas.
Even if you don't use it as an art ref it's a super cute blog that's just fun to go through AND fully translated in english so I recommend just having a fun time reading through it anyway.
Bonus- Au Ra Scales.
I literally found out about this today but @/saficchi on twitter has made a super detailed angled ref sheet for both male and female au ra scales and I love them for it
Bonus 2 electric boogaloo- TextTools
I use this to import 3d models of specific weapons into CSP if I'm drawing them.
I don't know how useful this is for other art software but it's saved my ass from freehanding titania weapons so in the thread it goes
Tumblr media
That's the full list of refs I personally use, if there's more that people want to add please feel free to do so in the comments. I hope it helps people out in their creative endeavors!

@bananahkim thank you sm for organising this lol (the og drawing was so amazing as well??? like it was so dynamic jsdhshdsh)
image ID under cut
[Image ID: A drawing of Luz and Amity from the Owl House, Amity wearing her clothes from the epilogue and Luz wearing her Titan outfit. Luz is giving her a piggy back ride and Amity has her arms wrapped around her shoulders with her face next to Luz's. Amity is wearing Luz's hat and Ghost is sitting on top of it. Stringbean is floating next to Luz. There are a few stars dotted around and a rainbow in the background. They are both smiling. w/.End ID]

Final batch of blogtember prompts! Once again, prompts provided by @jazzy-art-time / @mod-jazzy!! Thank you for giving me a buncha stuff to do this month!
Elaborations under the cut:
Day 21: I decided the funniest thing to do for this was to swap the shiny status of my Eevee twins. Cream and Cheese who did this to you! Uncanny!
Day 22: Ok genuinely one of the scenes I'm most interested in writing. These three characters are super old conceptually and near and dear to my heart. Once I get to doing stuff with them I'm going to be so!!! Excited!!!!
Day 23: I checked and it turns out I don't have like any nature photography on my phone? So I looked up cave pictures on google and picked one to put my rats in. Hello Remulus and Atticus nice to see you
Day 24: Hmm....important Apricorn. Wonder what that's about hmmmm
Day 25: This one!! Vexed me!! Because a lot of the ships in my blogs feel like plot spoilers to talk about? Or at least the ones I like the most. So I picked Anneva and Reginald! Because I've mentioned Anneva on inquiries and I've drawn them both on here in the past. They're a comfort duo.
Day 26: If Paleo and Tide have one fan its me bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Initially I tried to draw him awkwardly giving her flowers but I couldn't get the pose right so instead they're going on a park date! Hi again Jazzy I love your slug and so does Paleo!!!! Their dynamic is fun and cute and I like them!!!!!!
Day 28: I think I mentioned it once or twice? These four on fugamsemidei are based on slugcats in Rain World. In fact the first time I drew them at all was in a big batch of Poke-RW doodles. I just decided I liked them enough to make them characters on the blog. And they fit with the rest of the cast well enough so I don't have any shame lmao
Day 29: Anyone remember this gem??? I do. I rediscovered it recently and went "oh. Oh this is a Gravity song woaw"
Day 29 again: So uh I tried really hard to figure out something for day 27's prompt but I genuinely could not find anything within the time frame. So instead I just did day 29 twice. Neura with this song. Because a lot of people are really unhappy because of her actions. She's to blame for so much strife and grief. Deep down and also not that deep at all she's overcome with guilt but she's not gonna change anything rip.
Day 30: The first ever blog post I made was a poorly-drawn Aspen on phantumpdaily. But that's not particularly interesting to look at, and also I've drawn Aspen just floating there on many occasions so that post isn't super unique. So, instead, I drew the first post on the rebooted version of that blog: the intro to asklucyphantump. That was more directly an askblog than phantumpdaily anyway so this isn't cheese I swear skdfjashdf

fav art pieces of each character?
Ooooh this is a good question. I'll start with the ones I haven't drawn as much since that's going to be easy. Long post ahead.
Hornet first:
Tumblr media
I think I like how she turned out on this birthday drawing the most. Maybe it's because it's one of the rare instance of her smiling. She does look a lot more like Vyrm when she does.
Holly next:
Tumblr media
It's gotta be this one. It is slightly outdated since I changed the design on their legs but I really like this drawing regardless. They look really good in that casual cloak too, I was actually considering making that their main outfit for a while
Zote:
Tumblr media
It's pretty old but I like how he looks on this ref sheet image. It captures that Rocket Raccoon & Groot dynamic I always envisioned for these two, and I like Zote's expression.
Now for the kids, this is where it becomes harder.
Lewk:
Tumblr media
It has to be this one. I mean, just look at him. My favorite detail is the drawing he's making, I wanted to make it look like it's meant to be Dirtmouth, with the tiny houses and mountains in the background. And I love how his long back fur looks here, like a big mane of sorts.
Asta:
Tumblr media
This one from the birthday drawing. I love her expression here and just the general pose she's in, I'm really proud of it. She really looks like a little kitten here and it melts my heart
Milo:
Tumblr media
I really like this one. He looks so tired and grumpy, and unimpressed with his sister's antics. I think his skinny body really comes through with this one, and I love how his little "mane" turned out.
Okay, now for the hardest part. It's going to be impossible to choose just one, so is it okay if I pick my favorite three? I think it's okay. There's so much art of these two after all it only makes sense.
Vyrm:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm going to go with these three. The top one I'm super proud of, his expression, the arm and all the details around him. The second one isn't surprising, I've been using it as my profile picture for a long time now, I'm so happy with how squishy Vyrm looks there. And the last one may actually be a bit of a surprise, especially considering it was kind of a vent piece, but I think he generally just turned out so well there. It was a drawing that really helped me figure out how to modify how I draw his torso to make it look better. My favorite detail is the dried tear marks, they really add to that exhausted look.
And last but not least, Grimm:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was hard to choose, but I'm really happy with these three. First one I'm just proud of he generally turned out, I like the expression I gave him, and as silly as it may sound, I think his butt and tail ended up looking really nice hahah. The second one is, well. It was a really self-indulgent one. Top one may be a bit suggestive but I think it might actually be my favorite of the two, though I'm really happy with the bottom one as well. And the last one, funnily enough, is a similar situation to the last one I picked for Vyrm. A vent-ish piece that is a lot less upbeat than most of my art, but man, I'm so happy with it to this day.
Tumblr media
Honorable mention for both of them is this one. It is a bit outdated in some aspects so that drags it down a little bit for me, but aside from that it's one of my favorite pieces in general. Might have been the first one to start the trend of using brighter (usually yellow) backgrounds but I'm very happy that I did. I think this piece in particular just radiates with such a positive, comforting energy that I might just go back and touch it up a little bit to bring their designs more up to date, I think it would really benefit from that (I'm considering doing that with a lot of my older favorites, I really like having things be more consistent haha)
Anyway, this was a lot of fun, thank you so much for asking!

Announcement about the Heart squad. :D
Sooooooo, I wanted to say that I kinda wanted to actually organize and structure this ask blog into what I initially thought.
What does that mean? Well! I didn't plan for it to be about Mind, or a Mind hurt blog. No.
I thought about the joke of Heart ORIGINALLY making it a Mind hate club. But, he changed it last minute in the request of Mind. As seen in this panel.
Tumblr media
(Where Heart changes the name for his other half.)
Now I know it still says the Mind hate club on the sign. But I kinda don't want it to ONLY be about Mind being hurt or anything. Cause it's becoming less motivating, and two, I can't draw some requests. So, that doesn't mean I'm throwing this in the trash. Nah, I still love this idea. But I want it to be about Heart. Because it's also called Heart's social event. Y'know, for socializing with other Hearts.
(Like a get together or introduction sorta speak. :3)
Participation, rules, and other info here ⬇️
---
Participation to join the Heart squad/Heart's social event:
Because I see many wanting to join this, I should say how to. Because that's kinda a blank point. To join the Heart squad, these are the requirements:
•Submit your Heart, your own version of Heart with reference (or if you don't have a reference, a description) into the question for them to join.
---
Rules considering requests:
•This is a wacky place, but some requests are not of my skill to draw. Like dynamic poses, fighting or fighting moves. So no SUPER big intricate things. Yeah, seeing characters in funny situations is cool, but I can only draw what I'm able to.
•Please be patient if I don't fulfill a question super duper fast, I know that is probably not a worry. But just stating that in case.
•This isn't only about Mind, as I've stated. But I don't mind if you request anything with Mind, or Soul in anything. Just don't only make it about pain. And make it suitable.
•I'm doing this for fun. This is a silly fun idea I wanted to do.
---
If there's anything else that needs to be said, I'll add it. But that's all for now!
I hope this is all understood, I just felt demotivated with how it was going. That's why some things haven't been done. But I appreciate everyone who has participated in this.
Ok imma skedaddle.

you’re one of my favourite artists and one of the reasons I want to start drawing!!! >.< I’ve started and it’s a bit difficult but fun!!
I was wondering if you had any tips on how to draw face shapes and dynamic poses? I love the way you draw face shapes and the actual expressions!!! (it’s always so hard for me 😭) and your poses are super cute!!!
YAAYY NEW ARTIST🥳!! i’m SO happy to hear this -
and absolutely i’d love to share what i’ve come to learn (so far!) re: face shapes and poses as a hobby artist ^^
just to preface everything, when it comes to giving art advice there’s always a general disclaimer that there’s no right way to do art, in the end you should do what you like to do! sometimes i like to think of art as problem-solving, and there are many ways to tackle specific problems <3
for face shapes and expressions - lately i love to reference and do studies of Ami Thompson and Shiyoon Kim’s character design and expression sheets for Spiderverse. these are INCREDIBLY evocative and useful. you can study these expressions and poses and try to recreate them on different characters, and you’ll notice the difference in eye shapes, face shapes, noses, etc; studying these differences is what will help us avoid same face syndrome. what i generally like to do is find art that i like - comic/manga panels, fan art, anything i want to learn how to draw like - and copy it into my sketchbook for personal practice and study to see what elements i can incorporate into my own drawing.
another tip - any medium is good for drawing, but i highly suggest esp when you’re starting - learn to draw with ink! drawing traditionally and with something unerasable will help with your draftsmanship and line confidence. it’ll be wonky at first but you learn to be deliberate with every stroke. tbh becoming a digital artist has deteriorated my draftsmanship and has made me heavy-handed, and it’s something i’m trying to consciously remedy right now. digital art is highly convenient and best for sharing, but when i do studies i stick to pen and paper :)
as for poses - one v important thing i learned in creating dynamic art is to “push” or exaggerate the poses. what you see in a photo reference - if you try to draw that 1:1 on paper, it doesn’t always translate well—the energy is not always captured, and it usually looks so stiff. what is in 3D has to be translated a different way to 2D. so “push” it to create more energy - exaggerate the movements - even if they’re just standing, you can make it dynamic by being conscious of how they’re standing (where the weight is balanced, push one hip up, make them lean one direction, for example). i doodled some examples here:
Tumblr media
^ first one is gojo just standing; now how i would “push” this pose is to show him putting more of his weight on one hip and maybe putting his opposite foot up a bit to suggest some movement (and balance). the third one is just a bit more variation where his body is still putting weight more on one side, his feet are more glued to the ground, but i put his hand out to do his signature victory sign just for a bit of flair. so it’s a lot of figuring out how to convey balance and weight and movement and personality :) start with exaggerating the pose - then you can create more and more dynamic art from there ^^
pushing and exaggerating applies to facial expressions, too! instead of merely drawing someone with a smile, try tilting their head a little sideways (and show how their hair might move as well bc of this), add some blush, raise their shoulders a bit, etc).
and i 100% recommend taking gesture drawing classes for dynamic poses ^^ there are a lot of artists who have draw-with-me tutorials on youtube, and i personally like to use line-of-action.com for timed sessions.
i hope this is helpful in even a little way—good luck on your drawing journey and remember to trust the process bc progress is def not linear as an artist but deliberate practice and studies WILL help you! <3

Tumblr media
So Marvel Rivals has well and truly taken over my free time so figured I’d join in with some fan art. Squirrel Girl seems to be super popular and she was my subject of choice, even though I’ve not actually played as her yet (Captain America // Cloak and Dagger main here).
On two counts this was a little different for me. A. I don’t draw female characters enough, and B. I don’t really draw plus sized characters enough either, so this was a fun challenge. Probably could have pushed it further, but I’m happy with the result. Same with the pose, it feels dynamic but not too over the top (perhaps may have foreshortened that back leg a little too much but still.)
