#thinking of coloring and rendering this one

What up y'all! I return bearing what was originally gonna be survival!shipping fluff (I sketch the face first and drew young Garmadon instead of his full Oni version) but morphed into this because my ass was listening to Ethel Cain and Flower Face while drawing. Honestly I took it and wound up playing rendering/color and quite frankly I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out!
Translations: Vertical word- Destruction, bottom text- "You are no man, men don't have claws they can't cut."
Garmadon is my favorite character to use for these more painterly metaphorical art studies because:
A) He's my babygirl and favorite character, this is very well established lol
B) He's a fundamentally tragic character. He's doomed by the narrative in every sense of the word, he was a child when he was bit and after that he was left to deal with the fact that there was this evil snake in his head and his father as well as his brother (seemingly the only people he interacted with as a child) were now somewhat afraid of him. By his young adulthood his relationship with his family begins to strain due to their belief he's "turning evil" especially when going on the quest for tea leaves in Spinjitzu Brothers which shows he actually feels rather upset/angry that his brother and father believe he's turning evil simply because he experiences negative emotions (you know like a normal person) but then after he see's himself in the mirror in book three he goes on a downward spiral believing he's doomed to turn evil and be alone. We don't really know what happens after book four since the fifth and final book never came out but it's easy to assume that the tea didn't work and Garmadon is left all the worse for it coming out of the trip with his mental health in the gutter. We don't know to much about what happens in-between then and when he goes to Chen's Island but we do know that he doesn't seem to have gotten better since in Shatterspin he's still pretty self sacrificing and other people have begun to notice his less than stellar mental state.
Then we know what happens after the war, his mind is consumed and he is left to be less than himself. Even then when he comes back from the underworld we see that he still cares about his son, he kills the Great Devourer, he still wants to be a person. At the end of season two he gets what he wants, he cured, and for the time that he is fully himself for the first time in years he begins to apologize and try to make up for all that he did (even if it lowkey wasn't 100% his fault seeing he was being controlled by an evil snake), but even that didn't last. He dies, or moreover sacrifices himself to save Ninjago from Chen's Anacondrai army, but he dies a good person, he gets a memorial and family that mourns the truest version of himself. And then he was brought back again, ripped from the afterlife but only as half of himself, only the evil side, the side he spent thousands of years repressing until he couldn't anymore and regretted the second he was himself again. Despite that despite the fact it is supposedly only his evil side left he is still trying to be good, with the Garmadon comics showing his desire for redemption and his care for his son even in what he had thought to be his dying moments.
I think this is what makes one of the beginning lines from the Garmadon comics all the more tragic "Who knows what life he may have lived had he not been corrupted by the Great Devourer and cast into the underworld." He might have gotten to live a different life, he may have gotten to be happy and not fear what he might become, he might not have had to die multiple times over, but we'll never know because that's not what happened instead his fate was twisted by something completely and utterly out of his control.
So yeah he's a little fucked up and that's why he's my favorite! Hope y'all enjoyed my long winded rant, I have so many opinions on this man and don't even get me started on how much I hate crystalized for how it fucked up his development from the comics, but uhhh I think that's it!
If you want to you can check out my fic What Doesn't Kill You it's mostly me putting him in a jar and putting him under a microscope lol, other than that I hope yall have a great day/night and I'll see you when I appear from the mist again! PEACE OUT!

A little 15 min doodle but first post of the year has to be Bingqiu!
#ok its time to get mushy in the tags because I doubt anyone would read them too closely#I’ve had severe art block for YEARS before I got into danmei in 2024#and it wasn’t that my skill was gone it’s just that I thought nothing I did was good enough#I started reading danmei around the summer of last year and I got SO INSPIRED#I dived into the fandom side of things (I haven’t been in a live fandom in years) and was so excited about all the art people were making#and writing! and music! and animatics!#everything was so bright and colorful and beautiful#and everyone had such cool designs for these book characters that I’d grown to love#so I took a chance and doodled a little Luo Binghe and posted him on here#and I was so taken aback by how welcoming and sweet the fandom was#it made me wanna keep taking chances and posting my art— because I think that’s one of the hardest things I’ve come to accept#that even if it’s not good enough for me#someone else may enjoy it#and ain’t it crazy that ive come to enjoy drawing again too#sure the interaction has been fun but it’s been even more fun experimenting with my style and experimenting with colors and rendering#and grayscale and angles#and composition and expressions#ahh!! art is so fun!! I forgot how fun it was!!#I had forgotten how much I loved to draw!!#and the fandom— so many ideas are exchanged and I’ve met some of the loveliest people thru the sv fandom!#tgcf too but they’re a little less chill lmao#anyways#I’ve set up a little spot in the fandom and I plan to keep at it here it’s very nice and cozy and funny and warm#huge thanks to everyone for being so kind and welcoming#and an even bigger thanks to anyone who’s interacted with my art#I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that someone took the time out of their day to like/repost these silly little doodles I post#incredible. ok bye for now :)#svsss#bingqiu#hoot art

portrait study but its kenny
#south park#kenny mccormick#sp kenny#south park fanart#shroomer's art !#shroomer's archives: south park#kenny is quite literally my muse#also its 2 am so it took me quite literally 5 minutes to think of what to caption this only to come up with that#this is actually for one of my classes' final assignment that we were given like 3-4 weeks to do#and i did it in one day lmao#anyways i really wanted to experiment with different texture brushes and a different rendering style#because i dont believe in having a consistent artstyle#my favorite kenny piece to date <3#if i had a nickel for every time i made a drawing of a south park character with an eye straining red-blue color palette#id have two nickels#which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice#i actually had to tone down the colors because IT WAS SO RED AND SO BLUE INITIALLY but i think it worked out for the best#cause the orange fits way better with the whole kenny thing#tw: eyestrain

ANYWAYS SDMSBnsbfns elaborating on the smiling critters but with bows thought
here's just one (1) singular of them for now: catnaps
Wanted to draw refs of all the critters all together but I'm impatient and busy so 1 by 1 it is instead womp womp, maybe I'll link them together as I go along yahooo
#Bows my beloved I will smack one onto every character that crosses my path#simple bow for simple eepy guy I don't think he'd like anything extravagant or fancy#the bows get more fun and unique with the other critters you'll just have to stay tuned and see#I love the little collars people give them but... but bowsds.....#rare semi rendered piece from the doodle account don't expect this from me#more to show off colors and other design headcanons wahooo#poppy playtime fanart#poppy playtime chapter 3#poppy playtime#smiling critters fanart#smiling critters#catnap#catnap fanart

right side of my spread for @kazumajizine ! (see left side here)
y0-era real estate agent!Kiryu and 80's!Goromi at The Grand. it's no secret that I love Goromi, and the idea for the dual images came from me being assigned y0 and not being able to choose between drawing "regular" Majima and my favorite of his alter egos~
below is the back that I whipped up for the physical prints- the mods had the fun idea to print them playing card sized and 2-sided and I tried my best to model something like a Bicycle card deck.
i am by no means a graphic designer, but i had a lot of fun executing this concept and am still so happy with the way this turned out :^]
#yakuza#rgg#kazumaji#goromi#yakuza 0#while i prefer the way the left turned out composition-wise i'm still pretty happy with this one! the grand color scheme was lots of fun :3#the details were a bEAST though.. holy hell i had to sacrifice some but i think i got all the necessary rendering done

(gosh I hope that comic is at least readable- Ignore all the inconsistencies, I've never drawn and colored a comic before 😭) Anyways- meet the heroes of yore! sort of... you get to know what they look like at least!
Im finally getting around to publicly sharing some tidbits of lore with yall! Originally the "heroes of yore" spiel Galacta reads was going to be just text but I thought people would probably like it a little better if there was a comic to accompany it!
and im. not sure how to end this post?? I suppose I can say that Meta and Galacta Knight are open for asks!!! Im hoping I can keep the energy to keep this thing going, but only time will tell!
#Figuring out how to make pretty looking comics is going to be one hell of a learning curve for me!!#Im good at putting a character into an environment and rendering it well but when It comes to comics I have to tone down the rendering#otherwise I will spend fifteen zillion years on it and then never actually finish the comic itself#also if it wasnt already GLARINGLY obvious I. cant.. color backgrounds. like. at all#Meta Knight#Galacta Knight#JAU#JAU Meta Knight#JAU Galacta Knight#Kirby oc#Verc3x art#J#GSA J#Edith#Cassius#swallow tailed galacta knight#< I think thats the tag I should use??#also I should PROBABLY clarify that by “Standard” Meta means the universal language#like. becuase different planets have different native languages Standard is the universal language that almost all folks learn as a#secondary language#my ocs

brush test slash rendering practice with ayem
#morrowind#almalexia#the elder scrolls#tes#tes fanart#art#id in alt#ok that's all the tags this needs ANYWAY#i started this 1. for experimenting with coloring from dark to light#2. because i wanted to draw someone kind of back turned to the camera#3. rendering practice for hair particularly#4. to go from sketch to rendering rather than doing lines to see if that doesn't smooth out my workflow a bit#5. because i've never actually used this brush past flat coloring#and out of those 1. i don't think i had enough of an idea of the palette or process to jump into dark to light painting so i did scrap that#and go with my usual “flat color with one of the mid shadow tones add shadows add light”#i do think that painting from shadows out is a thing people do digitally i just think this wasn't the drawing to test it on for me#i think i'd need to look at some other peoples processes and start with a more fleshed out idea of where to go#2 and 3 i think worked out. i'm gradually figuring hair out which i think is sick#4 i also think worked out for me which is also sick because i do get caught on lines a lot. they're fun sometimes but i think some drawings#benefit better from not having them and that it might be a bit faster#and of course everything i do is so that i can draw slightly faster and better for next artfight#as for 5. i have mixed feelings on this brush but that might be because i hate change. and also because i started this drawing on the 15th#of november and finished it yesterday. so im kind of just sick of working on and looking at it#it was a valuable learning experience and i think it came out well! i am also going to drop to my knees and rejoice when i can finally#close this file out and free medibang paint from under it so i can work on Literally Anything Else#thank you almalexia for being my test subject i should've used a reference for your armor when i did the sketch but i didn't#maybe the crown looks weird because of it maybe it doesn't. not my problem anymore i can draw other elves again#my art#iiii think i forgot a my art tag last time

#jumpluff#sniffer#bonus under the cut because the cotton puffs only rendered from the front and i thought peeled jumpluff was very funny#honestly i think i'll accept this one's colors being so different from the other two if only because the entire evolutionary line#has different colors from each other. although i'll admit to thinking hoppip/skiploom/jumpluff were all unrelated pokémon#until i randomly purified my skiploom in pokémon colosseum and saw it evolve into this#i remember being Very Confused but i accepted it. even though this thing is smaller than skiploom and i was like#what the hell. smaller is weaker. why did it get smaller#because it blows around in the wind less… duh…

haha hey do you think his failure haunted him enough to replace his ghost
#danny phantom#danny phantom fanart#dp#dp fanart#vlad masters#hey. hey. do you ever think about how danny is the culmination of jack and maddie’s achievements in life#about how he’s a mixture of their attributes—not particularly skewing toward one or the other in color scheme or design#how their research (and accidental negligence lol) leads to his creation two times (birth and semi-death)#do you ever think about how danny is the final piece of their legacy. the only part either of them can hang on to#and he gets him killed.#HAHA anyway wooo! tried rendering a piece in this style for once! :D#ney’s art#its fiiiine its fiiiiiine this timeline doesn't exist anymore#... maybe

Part of my Kakyoin lives au. Noriaki has pieces in a new gallery, and Jotaro, though feeling very nervous (hence the RBF), comes to support his partner. The photographer also made him take off his hat for the photo.
Close ups and painting under cut
I kinda went nuts with their belts, but it's so them <3
#Okay okay i was gonna make nori's shirt lace and see through but it didn't turn out good so I had to scrap it#But in the rendering the belly area was gonna be a different beige color compared to his skin#because he's wear a brace to cover his scar and prosthetic spine#Im only telling you this because i spent so much time on this comp and I didn't want it to for nothing yk#Yeah and i got so many ideas for part 4 noriaki and I just know he would be sooo fashionable#I also got rid of his mullet (I also got rid of it in the part 4 comp I made) because no one in part 4 has mullets#And i think he looks good with long hair#also Noriaki does have his cane becouse he doesn't wanna look weak for the photos (prideful headass) despite jotaros protest#He does lean on HG and Jotaro for the evening#Okay ill shut up#jojos bizarre adventure#jojo no kimyō na bōken#jjba#jjba fanart#jjba stardust crusaders#jjba part 3#jotaro kujo#noriaki kakyoin#jotakak#noritaro#my art#artists on tumblr#adri blabs#yeah i love them#also dont mind the typo in the newpaper shhhh
