Do u still have that height chart u made of all the characters? Im trying to find references, no prblem if u dont!!!

You might be referring to my old one, but this is my updated one! Forgive the hastily doodled on clothes - this is also my body type/scar/tattoo/etc/general ref sheet, and while I've posted it without the colors before, it feels weird posting it with colors cause for some reason then it looks like theyre all naked, lol. Ref sheets are funny that way. So doodled on clothes it is.

I was going through my project file for Jason and the Three Terrors because I'm about to start Part III so that's a new folder, okay. I was tossing all my notes and stuff into the trash pile and cleaning it all up and LOOK WHAT I FOUND

This is the note for how to open the story back in the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL draft outline, back when Athanasia was not going to be a secret child. I was going to have her be just like Damian but 18 months younger and a girl. I'm very glad I changed her to being a secret, because I think it added more depth to her character and to the story, but this is also such a fun opening scene. Now I want both stories. LOL

The first piece for dndads ship event. Am I gonna be able to make all the drawing and actually post them on time? Who knows, but I will try.

I honestly don't really ship anything (except for canon stuff and oakworthy) but it is fun to challange myself to draw charakter interactions. Was this image planned to have strong lightning and more rendering than my usual style? No, but that's how it turned out.

Also I'm not that big on romance so a lot of these can be taken as platonic I suppose (i do not plan on doing anything beyond kissing for this).

Anyway enjoy this piece for GrantxTerry.

Shout out @birdifulhuman-blog for the challange.

Do you have a design for a character that is completely different from the Canon description?

i adore wildly off-canon designs but honestly, excluding bonus alternate designs that i sometimes purposefully make off-canon for fun, i think i do happen to tend to stick pretty close to book descriptions? besides a few things like swapped eye colours and blatantly ignoring canon body types here and there, anyways. i think the closest thing is multiple instances where i give a character extra black, brown or ginger spots to make them kind of like a tortie/calico when they aren't canonically, like with these guys!

since fit’s on qsmp i finally have a reason to ramble about my headcanons for hack clients :O

[vampiredungeon]

Just made this in Aseprite following this awesome tutorial on youtube! ⬇️

(This is my first time posting art on Tumblr and I still not sure if the formatting is going to come out right so sorry if it looks weird)

[arolesbianism]

Sometimes I just look at Isabeau and just know that if isat came out and I got into it when I was like 16 he would be my favorite character and I would've gone absolutely buck wild over this man and feel like he was laser targeting me. But alas Odile has a grip of steel on me rn due to her virtue of being a middle aged woman

2023 art recap ottonevermore

happy new year! extra words + art info under the cut!

good riddance 2023 LMAO I had a great time in the first 6 months but the last 6 were lowkey hell :) luckily I feel like I'm doing better now and I'm ready to draw more little guys 💪

here's my recap for 2023, aka Local Artist Cant Stop Drawing Different Personas for Themself - Jan, Feb, Mar, and July are all my.. livestream persona? I guess that's what I'd call it. Mar in particular is my vtuber model art, and July is my pngtuber - Apr is just a random drawing I did based on a drawfee challenge - May is a drawing of me and my best friend (shoutout to her fr) - June is a redraw of a super old character (named Skye I think?). that was when I was trying out a different art style - Aug is an attempt to OC-ify me and my best friend for a comic I was going to make. I never finished the comic but I'm really happy with the design pages so I might post those eventually - Sep is a vent piece tbh, I didn't have a lot from that month besides depressing shit so you get mitski lyrics - Oct is when I started getting back into NRB and started making a LOT of art, so I just chose my favorite (titled: non-biblically-accurate Buck McFadden) - Nov is The Minstrel of Ravenswood Bluff - Dec is Cora Love

I feel kinda weird posting this cause so far I haven't put any non-fanart stuff on this blog but I wanted to have this recap out there somewhere so here u go ig

[talkorsomething]

finding avaz to be somehow better than speech assistant solely because of the grammar function - the main drawback being that, well, speech assistant *is* sort of more my kind of thing. If speech assistant had the same kind of grammar thing... i'd want to pay for it even more, lol. alas, ten bucks i have not. But! That's not the point waow am i getting sidetracked

The point is the main drawback I can see to avaz is that there's no way to use my own keyboard, and thus, no way to like... type cyrillic? because I may not know what words i need, but when I'm trying to make a sentence, boy does everything suddenly become obvious! I Am Not A Linguist.

I mean like, i do understand why it is the way it is, but still... sadge.

That being said, this is so cool to me:

it's the perfect way [for my brain] to handle different word forms! If only every app could do this, haha

emo/scene/alt/goth/punk/grunge/eboy/egirl/makeup girlies/individuals with relevant knowledge:

whats a good brand or specific product for red/dark makeup? (eyeshadow, eyeliner, liquid lipstick, w/e)

i find it really difficult to find the specific shades i have in my mind and when i do find smthn similar they're not very pigmented or way too expensive or part of a huge palette/set that I don't really need u_u

also fairly cheap/affordable but ideally not ethically/morally terrible makeup in general, like, for the basics. as someone who only does some makeup sometimes but likes to get creative and silly every now and then.

ty! \(^_^)/ feelin good so ill try answer in detail for ya!!!! 

most of the time i just do basic cell shading. here ill explain my rendering process after i choose my base colours, ill try keep it short & sweet!! nvm warning buckle up its really super long.

flat colours -> fully shaded!!

⭐️Picking shading colours!

usually it's just the base colour with +saturation OR a hue shift! i dont really lower brightness.

This is what i mean by HSB, i never use the colour wheel i prefer the sliders!!!

i like my art to look super colourful so i do things like shading pink with blue instead of with a darker pink or red, as shown in the above callie piece.

examples ft lumity:

skin: i always keep it very simple & cartoony! over the nose, below the eyes, the neck & sometimes the tips of the ears is where i'll put shading

hair: as u can See, it's not darker than the base colour at all!! for dark hair like luz's, i brighten & saturate the colour, and for light hair like amity's i just shift the hue a little!

⭐️more kewl tips:

colourpick from yourself!!!! instead of making a new colour for everything, try using a colour u already have down!!!! like below: by limiting my colour palette, it looks more harmonious

really messy image but i hope u get what i mean. also the "off white / black" thing is a separate choosing base colours thing!! i can expand on that if anyone's interested 😙

shove halftones in wherever they fit. here are the 2 pngs i use!! there a rlly good alt to gradients, i used a LOT of them in that callie piece!!! clipping mask over where u want it & alpha lock to change colour.

⭐️here's a WHERE i put the shading:

look st the environment ur guy is in!! pick where your light source is coming from & look where that light will hit and where it is blocked by something.

bounce light: the sun's light is also shining on the grass! so powerful the green reflects right back!

this is kinda more realistic lighting now.

i kinda just put a circle wherever theres a corner!

and i put that Beautiful Shape a lot wherever. i change it a little depending on the character, sometimes its triangular or squarey but thats the base shape! i dont even know what its called but i love it.

look at this hello weird shape guy!!!

actually, my grandfest art are probably some of the most detailed art i have! u can see urself where i put shading & stuff - they do have more desaturated colour palettes though:

& here are some additional examples ^_^ flat colour -> shaded -> multiply layer -> lighting

in this one u can see the hand & leg at the back are completely in shadow too :)

anyway i think that's kinda it? i dont really know how to explain it, i just do what feels & looks right to me??? remember that im Not an expert & this is just how i do things :)

i will always repeat my no1 tips tho: keep drawing!!! and copy ur fave artists!!!!!! it really will hell u find what u like!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope this post helps a little & answers ur question😇 never be shy to ask me anything cuz i love answering & chattin w u guys!!!!

EDIT: just saying these arent set rules or anything!!!! u can see just how many times i Dont follow my own advice LOL. my artstyle is super inconsistent, i rarely draw things the same every time

[conceptofjoy]

any advice for new girls

like tgirls? hm.. im not a trans girl so im pulling from my experience as black trans person whos struggled w being able to be feminine.

i guess if i had to say, do it weird, do it the way it makes you happy. eurocentric beauty standards and white supermacist/patriarichal caricatures have already said their piece about us, but gender expression is so much more than just masc and fem.

if passing feels so far a way, what can you do instead to distance yourself from an image you’ve at best felt neutral about and at worst hated. a lot of alt subcultures were pioneered by queer and/or people of color! do u see something thats wormed its way into ur brain but thought maybe this could only be for other people? go for ittt, build up your collection of cool shit. ofc theres the issue of money, but there has always been broke alt people, you can always find tips online. through those, you can find community and people more than delighted to see you for who you are.

AND.. and and and and, pleaaaseee do not be comparing yourself to white skinny girls on the internet, find models that look like YOU. trans women who have gotten weird with it and are vocal about their own journeys. you do not need E to be a woman, and though the people irl may think so, life is a transitory (lol) process. you dont just suddenly look like the woman you’ve always dreamed of, work on the foundation and your self confidence as you grow. also be safe, i love you.

Random Bo Sinclair Headcanons!!

authors' note: these are def just personally influenced, and if im being honest this was in my drafts for like.. a year and a half I think, and well I wrote it in the dead of night and was emotional and delirious. anyway, if u like any of these or wanna discuss his pass leave a note or reblog!!

Bo likes reading—mostly nonfiction but he has read a good amount of fiction when he gets his greasy hands on them. He needs glasses to read sometimes. reads when he isn't busy, andusually is before before (if he isn't drunk lol)

He likes to sketch—in his childhood Vince was the artist, just naturally good at it. His parents hoped Bo could have an artistic talent as well, but soon gave up when they realized he was too much to handle. Bo always liked to randomly doodle when he got bored. Likes to doodle whatever he can, in his youth it was usually just funny sketches of people that he'd make fun of

Has a great ass singing voice—first heard him humming in the garage to some song. Later that day after Bo n u got a couple of beers down, the music was low and playing and you heard him just belt it out. Sure it mostly comes out when he’s drunk but gad damn . You just egg him on because you need more bo singing voice.

He likes a lot of alt music. Loud shit. Metal. Rock. Etc. But he’s also secretly into classic romantic shit., (to me personally just the vibe of romantic older music, but im bad w names so like idk songs like put your head on my shoulder dunno)

He has like only three different caps that he circulates through. Theyre all dirty so help him out here, gift him a new one or help him wash them bec them caps are dirty as shi

He just has stickers and he puts them almost everywhere. In certain spots on the truck, in the garage, on his tool box case, etc. Some are from the people he and his brother catch, and others are ones he's gotten on his own over time (there's a sticker in his truck that is most definitely a hello kitty sticker, he denies it was him but he stuck it on when he was plastered and is unable to rip the sticker off its place)

Never learned how to ride a bicycle. Him and his brothers not having the best upbringing, they never really got those bonding moments. I imagine one day after finding a bicycle, and assuming you know how to ride one, he just looks at you as if you discovered a new planet. he never considered that other people knew how to ride those things. So surprised and impressed. He wont ask you to teach him so you kinda have to like coax him to try it. Would definitely get frustrated. I also imagine that if theres a possibility of kids, and he sees you teaching them how to ride a bike he would definitely be holding back tears when he sees you teaching them how to ride a bike (he'll join in bec he wants to learn too but he'd just stand on the side until you tell him to try it)

loll I edited them but I wrote these so long ago and many are def jus self-indulgent . fucj it they head canons for a reason ;)
