I love Doma, so much- besides his character alone, imma post things I like about his design. Cause I can Ć¹wĆŗ If you wanna see my simpus supremus post, read more under the cut! š
Ahem... LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIS HANDS ! ! He's huge! This is a me thing maybe but that's veryāØpleasantāØ Other than that, the design for his hands are so elegant.. yet strong- he has long nails as the upper two, which- slayyy~
The blood-like pattern is visually appealing, honestly just such good design. If you want to make hands more interesting, have some kind of detail like this to draw your eyes to them. Gah... GAH š„
His range of expression! And just.... his face- For someone with no emotion, he sure has studied expressing whatever he wants accurately. Surprise, joy, sympathy, sadness, determination- you name it, he can fake it. And as is the point of his character to some extent, he has beautiful eyes. Both in shape and color. š
His eyebrows are wonderful, it's not often creators make a character this attractive and then give them a set of nice and thick eyebrows. I feel it's so common to think of it as unattractive but.. honestly- I disagree. I have had thick eyebrows my entire life, and I am extremely grateful for that. Anyway, this next one is just.. demons in general from Demon Slayer. But! Their teeth, they are so large. Every demon with these kind of teeth just... they seem so- idk- comfy looking. It's odd, but very appealing! (I checked in with some friends and they agree! Demon chompers are very nice to look at!
HIS HAIR! For real, long long ago, when watching the hobbit and lord of the rings, something flipped in me in regard to what I find appealing on men. Long hair. There is a reason I love Tolkien's elves ahah. And it's just the same with Doma. š„° Regardless if it is beautiful, smooth and soft or jagged and wild- it does not matter. Men suit long hair so much more than they think, it makes me so happy whenever a character is given long hair. And I mean LONG, not that "barely touching the shoulders" bs. That's not long, that's medium.
It actually pains me when someone draws a man who has long hair- with short hair. Like.. slay, live your dreams. But come oooon- let the 10% of men with long hair in fiction keep it, plz- I beg. (not actually that serious, do what makes you happy <3) With some help from two of my friends, I'd like to point out his build and how he visually reads vs. his behaviors! While Doma is quite a big guy, with broad shoulders and a very tall frame. He acts and is drawn very innocently! (Note: Slim waist alert š„)
He is often drawn in a way that makes him seem quite harmless. He sits in a way that makes him seem smaller than he is (Especially during the upper moon meeting), he's often smiling, laughing and otherwise messing around. He also somewhat slumps his shoulders sometimes. All this really makes his behavior stand out, since it is such a contrast to how he makes himself appear. He talks down to people in such a casual way, he's creepy at times, intimidating- and that gets multiplied by 100 when he no longer acts all aloof and sweet.
On top of all this- he is very muscular, but he wears a baggy turtleneck and very loose pants. Which is anotherfor him to seem far less intimidating visually.
This has all been manga so far, but here's an honorable mention to the anime. This scene was so well done. He is smiling softly through the entire scene, but does not express as much as he does while being upper two. His voice range moves but not along with his expression, which make it feel as if something is off and I love it.
Sidenote, the voice actor they picked for him- chef kiss š Some of this might be a reach, or personal conclusion of course. But when I have an interest, why not share it. Maybe some people will agree, maybe some won't. Either is fine! And feel free to tell me what you agree or disagree with, or just what you like about this guy. I am happy to hear š
#joetamy#tam speaks#the first thing before the cut is my art ^^#demon slayer#kny#kimetsu no yaiba#doma#douma#long post#Ultimate Simp Post#maybe I'll make more in the future for other characters.. I love them all sm!

āWhy am I grinning? I guess I've been unusually happy lately...ā
vibe song to go w this šš¤
#vibe song below the cut cause the embed looked huge#based largely on the quote above#it's hard to imagine a guy like this /grinning/ of all things; it's rlly cute :''3#also based on a drabble i wrote last night#farmer star gave him the bouquet the night before#the next day he's come to visit seb like he always does; but this is the first hangout as bfs so they're being dorks about it <3#stardew valley#sdv sebastian#stardew sebastian#sebastian x farmer#farmer star#my art#doodles/sketches/wips#also experimented with seb's hair; have more on the side and over his face like his overworld sprite#i like both his portrait and overworld designs so figure i'd experiment w combining aspects i like from each#also also the song makes my heart flutter and i feel it fits the vibe

Random old grayscale doodles
Including my probably favorite Ellis expression Iāve made from a forever unfinished BMB comic:
#blind man's bluff#ladyredms#l4d2#you know they're old bc they're black and white hahah get it [GUNSHOT]#the divorce arc affected me on a deep level LMAOO i have never been so distraught over fictional characters breaking up before#fun fact: the āis somethin' wrong?ā doodle is the first thing i drew after about 5 YEARS of quitting art#my love for bmb literally reawakened my motivation for doodling THAT'S how insanely beautiful and well-written bmb is#i might redo the post-cut comic someday i do love the moment it's based on#bonus points if anyone can guess the moment (i'm very predictable LMAOO)

started reading trigun
#trigun#trigun maximum#(idk how to tag this)#my art#kept seeing art of this dude and i know there an anime happening now or soon and figure i'll read it before i get spoiled anything. keep#seeing it since i was 14 yet never actually learned a single thing about it. only thing i knew was: 1 the blond guy is the main character.#2 i think theres a desert + its scifi ish. 3 i think the 'bleh' meme come from this. im only 2 chapter into maximum rn but i hope the panel#gets easier to read because often its just too busy to be comprehensible. also the pacing is a bit weird but apparently first manga was cut#short so fellas did their best im sure. anyway i want to know why everyone love this guy so i'll keep reading. so far his twinkish demeanor#and torment have picked my curiosity

GGS TEAM PAST!!!
#DUUUDE THIS WAS SO FUN#dreadful#veji#art#splatoon#splatoon 3#grand festival#grand fest splatoon#Man I shed like a few tears by the end of the reveal news thing#Like not out of sadness cause my team lost but just from the joy that all this happened and I was here for it.#I never got to experience splatoon 2ās final fest so Iāve waited 3 years for this and Iāmā¦. Just so happy!#If you couldnāt tell from the colours in the drawing Iām team future btw#I laughed so hard seeing the results lol we got NOTHING#Oh and I guess I should put my reasoning for my pick of future#so here it is:#I picked it because the future scares me. But itās gonna happen anyway so I might as well look forward to it#I canāt let myself worry about where Iāll end up and who Iāll be when Iām older#But I do need to keep looking forward#I also chose it cause of deep cut. Like that was a big factor in my choice#Their music shaped my tastes. I just love it so much#And sure the characters themselves arenāt as fleshed out as the other idols#But they still mean a lot to me as splatoon 3 is the game that got me into the franchise#Even though I played 2 before 3 could never fully enjoy it as I came too late#I missed every splatfest cause I got it a year before splat3#So I could never connect the way I did to 3#Hearing anarchy rainbow for the first time changed me man. I fell in love instantly. It just means so much.#As an autistic person I actually surprisingly donāt really stim that much. But hearing anarchy rainbow justā¦ flipped a switch.#I couldnāt stop moving. Literally like DJ Octavio man. It was a crazy experience to just feel like I had to move.#to walk around or something. To wave and flap my arms. Copy their dances. It sounds a little weird and childish when itās written down#But itās true. Splatoonās music showed me that my autistic stimming was something I should embrace.

Tuvok: The Monastery Years
#and yes that same song is playing while he cleans#I like imagining Tuvok & that monk he was assigned to having a friendly but antagonistic mentor-mentee thing#like how he was like 'Tuvok...what if I told you that your crush didn't like you back?' (WHAT!?) 'Hypothetically.'#Tuvok seems like the type of guy who'd take things he was subjected to and subject other people to them. In this instance: scrub the floor#by hand as punishment for something#comix#st voyager#st voyager fanart#Tuvok#In my head teen Tuvok either shaves his head before going to the monastery (more canon)#or he refuses to cut his hair until it catches on fire like three times and then he shaves it even though he only needs to cut it (funnier)#Tuvok: -waiting for a comment about his hair- ... / Monk: ....-never mentions it as a power move- v_v#they dont make em like this anymore! what? bad? <- first draft but vetoed for being too ooc in wording#bea art tag

Some attempts at a design for Selena :3. The second image is inspired by the wedding in Haunted Castle, but I changed Simonās outfit cause idk I just canāt picture him being comfortable in a suit.
The last two of these are way more headcanon-y lol. Theyāre under a cut mostly in case my headcanons and story ideas change d(^^ ). One of them was inspired by a Kikuo song I was listening to while drawing lol, the song āLetās Go to Heavenā.
#castlevania#castlevania games#selena belmont#castlevania selena#castlevania ii#castlevania 2#castlevania simonās quest#simonās quest#castlevania ii: simon's quest#haunted castle#simon belmont#akumajou dracula#akumajo dracula#art post#my art#I remember seeing someone make a post somewhere about how it was weird that#a lot of the cut items from the first Castlevania were things like high heels and a love letter and stuff#I wonder if Simonās wife/girlfriend was supposed to be a character at one point in it and she got cut for some reason#idk itās interesting to me that sheās only ever appeared in like deliberately noncanon content ya know?#like Haunted Castle was even called not a Castlevania game by its own lead director#the two novels with Simon girlfriends in them were never intended to be canon just fun side stuff#especially the ones that were choose your own adventure books lol I love the art style in one of those#anyway Iāve been trying to think of ways to write her lately but its so easy to end up accidentally falling into annoying tropes alas ššš#especially ones the series has already used before oof#currently my idea so far is since Simon himself is kinda the chosen one hero guy trope in CV1#and ends up subverting that trope by genuinely failing a ton getting hated by the public and possibly dying at the end#maybe Selena might work as initially the damsel in distress and call to action trope and subverts that later????#I also have always thought she ends up the Mysterious Woman somehow hmmmm#itās a hard headcanon to incorporate without just pulling a Dracula X chronicles and oh no sheās a vampire aaaaa but thatās been done š#I am also aware that not everything you write has to be 100% completely new and original and perfect but aaaaaaa

There was supposed to be a second half to this, but I can't wrap my brain around how I would draw it :(
#pmatga#my art#betrayus spheros#aunt spheria#betrayus then responds to mei with 'once.'#nahh but that would be funny if he did#I had somewhat of a conversation in my head but it never really went anywhere i don't think#the main part of it was betrayus just going 'yeah we dated.. for like a WEEK!'#(when they dated? i have no idea lol)#and then he goes on to say that he thinks spheria is into older men (he's younger than her by 9 years I think?)#but before he could finish that sentence mei cuts him off with something but idk what#I wanted it to be a moment were mei tries not to give away that she likes him and that's why I drew this thing in the first place#but i couldn't even draw!! the part that started it!!#creativity is wild!#also trans masc betrayus :handshake: trans fem spheria#pmatga oc#mei liƔn

Sometimes i feel bad about swearing at my own eyeball (the left one specifically), Usually when Iām on my own, but seriously! Itās my own eyeball! I know itās not going to be sad that I yelled at it about my shit depth perception or when i have trouble reading something without my glasses. When I was a kid BOTH of my eyes were off, but the nearsighted one got better on itās own. Clearly my eyeballs could have gotten their shit together at the same time! Yet they didnāt! Because one eye being good was enough for my other one to just half ass it. People have two eyes for a reason! Yet one of the little shits in my scull canāt carry itās own fucking weight! This is farsighted eyeball shaming hours
#emma posts#every day I learn about how even more of the problems i have is probably a thing. at least in part. because my eyes donāt work together#properly! I never had to wear an eyepatch for the corrective reason thing#it hasnāt gotten that bad and glassed seem to be working#but not wearing glasses and correcting for it throughout my early childhood probably contributed to a lot of problems I have#I also find it convenient to blame that eye for some art problems. though itās probably not just the eye#the other day some saw trap question came up that was like āyou need to cut off a body part. where do you start?#and I said my left eye. blurted it out before remembering that I still have to get my wisdom teeth removed and#that I still have my tonsils and appendix. all of those being things that could be removed without causing too much trouble#provided I was stitched up and left with recovery time after theoretically escaping#I have body parts that are causing problems and need to be removed surgically and yet my personal grudge against my own eye came out first#I am blaming my eye for that#itās not victim blaming if you are just cursing your own organ

someone asked for a cleo and a 5am pearl in my reqs (AND I WILL GET TO IT!) but i wanted to share some of my practice cleos from the past months because of the coincidence that they were already right next to each other on my sketch canvas
cleo was one of the first hermits i drew even before i really got to know them because i just love their character design
(bonus cleo under the cut where it was my first time drawing them and all i knew was that they were amazing at armor stand things)
help me you could really tell the diff of me looking up references vs first impressions
anyway !!! i will draw something new for cleo and pearl over the weekend when i finally get the time to do my art requests :3c

i have been running all day long
#wind howls#woke up at 8:30 went to school at 10 until 7 pm got home at 8:30 played dnd worked on my miniature until 6 am and im#in bed now. my wrists in both hands are acting up really bad and im not sure i enjoy that. actually im pretty certain i dont enjoy that#im so tired. but im not done. my editing final is. mostly completed. i will just add more special effects on monday for a little pizzazz#however you spell that word.#i need to have my miniature almost completely finished. i need to buy the uhhh. plaster putty thing. for the walls. bricks#add the dirt. maybe find a miniature car so i dont have to mess up a really cute sleigh decoration for the sake of graded art.#add the fence.... and the trees. and the roof. paint the whole thang#at least the roof is just like. fake tiles. i can cut many of them at once and they wont take long to cut#aluminium foil for mounts. cover with papier mache. then dirt. maybe i shouldve done that before the fake grass. oh well !#what else. FUCK I HAVE TO MAKE A WHOLE ASS MOODBOARD. I HATE MOODBOARDS IM THROWING MYSELF OFF A CLIFF ACTUALLY#rather i hate having to Make moodboards. theyre cute and very useful and i know it but it is actual torture for me to make moodboards.#i hate them i hate them ourghg..... i have to make one i hate it....#ah shit i also have to make windows and the door for the miniature house. sigh#at least i have some foam cardboard left and now i know that itll be better to build those from that rather than sculpting w hot glue#on the bright side. hot glue scultping is wonderful for rough irregular but consistent patterns such as trees and its bark. that was fun#ive got my work cut out for me. the miniature comes first. should it come to it i can tackle the moodboard monday at the absolute LATEST#im not allowed to hand in anything late. so i have to plan out and calculate my time well. final projects need to be handed in#the teachers are kind in the regard that they encourage you to hand in something incomplete than late. late is 0. nothing is 0.#incomplete is not 0. its not Good. but its more than 0#(not to mention a 0 on the final project is an automatic failure of the entire class even if your grade is passing without the final)#anyway. ive gone on for long enough. im tired. goodnight
