I made the somewhat questionable decision to spend the last two days slapping out a bunch of character portraits to pop into a planning document for a personal project I’m working on!
So here’s a bunch of au sans portraits.
Woooooo
Nightmare and dream by jokublog
Eclipse’s concept by llamagoddessofficial , design by me
Horror by sourapplestudios
Cross by jakei
Dust by askdusttale
Error by loverofpiggies
Killer by rahafwabas
#utmv fanart#utmv#sans#sans au#dreamtale#nightmare sans#dream sans#eclipse!sans#horror sans#horrortale#murder time trio#killer sans#something new#something new au#cross#cross sans#xtale#error sans#dust sans#dusttale#nightmares gang#this definitely wasn’t just made to be little character portraits for character profiles#for a fic I’m planning/writing in the background#not at all#it will not be a good fic by the way#my writing is dreadful#but I’m not gonna get better without practice#just have to make myself actually do more of the writing part#hahahhahaha#Ough

I’m having a lot of fun making Past!Laven memes. I love Allen’s face in the back, I think I nailed that one
Caption less pic under the cut + reference
Kofi - Commissions page

#dgm#d.gray man#allen walker#past!allen#past!lavi#past!laven#the amount of patience I have when doing p!Allen is INSANE#or just Allen in general#also this is the most ‘silver-haired’ Allen I’ve ever drawn#so I’m happy~#I have less patience when drawing Lavi#but that’s because he’s way to hot and pretty and my skills are…#well not there yet#one day!!#I’m slowly getting there#maybe I should just draw more pretty men portraits#for practice#but Lavi feels kind of ‘etherially pretty’#if that makes sense#are more men that etherially pretty?#probably honestly#my art#digital art

*lovingly tackles Aine*
Read my Yandere! Pierro longfics first ♪( ´▽`)
Last week, my beloved mutual @ainescribe surprised me with Savior! Darling fan art and AHAI9232@2-!/! CRYING SCREAMING I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS ART AND WORSHIP YOUR VERSION OF SAVIOR THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BLESSING ME WITH YOUR ART—
*clears throat* Anyway, now that I finally have the time to properly sit down and comment on the fan art, I’ll do just that. Feedback will be in the tags and it will be unhinged. Once again, thank you so much to Aine for drawing this <3
#feedback#fan art#pranabefall#AIIINE ;-; once again. thank you so much!! it rlly means a lot to me that you enjoyed my writing and felt inspired to draw this :'>#and as someone who loves fashion and character design. it's so so interesting to analyze your version of savior#there's so much symbolism and visual storytelling in each sketch/ outfit and i shall now proceed to pick apart each detail as best as i can#her snezhnayan fit.....god i love it. it's regal. distinctively snezhnayan. and draws attention to her--and you just know that was pierro's#intention when he dressed her in those garments. IT'S JUST SO...!! savior's wardrobe scrubbed clean of her original culture and preferences#replaced with the foreign garments of her captor's nations.....in line with this. i love how her kokoshnik and khaenri'ahn earrings are big#and attention-grabbing. you can't look at her without taking note of those accessories. it begs the question:: how many times has savior#looked at the mirror after being dressed up in snezhnaya and was unable to recognize her own reflection?? :'>#also shoutout to some details aine shared with me: 1) the face marks are inspired by weeping angels 2) the kokoshnik was traditionally worn#by married noblewomen BUT the veil was normally for unmarried women so savior's outfit can be seen as a form of compliance + rebellion#(though later on in history it became accepted for married women to also wear that veil. also my apologies if what i said is inaccurate)#lastly shoutout to savior's expression!! very poised and mysterious....due to her emotional state or pierro's rules on how to act as his#spouse in public?? we'll never know~ the first drawing hits even harder when you compare it to the next one!! such an interesting contrast~#savior in her plain attire. casual and domestic with a smile on her face....i'm guessing this is her pre-fatui version?? she looks so warm#and friendly. and i can definitely understand why pierro fell for her smile <3#also i fucking love the caption. sorry pierro but you are cursed to be a loser/ simp/ pathetic man in all of my fics and AUs xD#NOW ONTO GODDESS! SAVIOR AAAHHHH!! i love the greek goddess motifs. she looks so regal and awe-inspiring but in a different way from her#snezhnayan attire--archaic. divine. and more suited to her personal style.....yet both versions of her look so painfully isolated :'>#her blank eyes. emotionless face. and veil give me the vibes of a spooky victorian ghost...or would a statue/ portrait be more fitting??#the lack of a necklace is also an interesting design choice given what happens in the fic. and now i realized i forgot to comment on your#version of her snezhnayan necklace oops. similar to the kokoshnik and earrings. the size + grandeur makes it impossible to ignore#that and big jewels = expensive af. ohhh and i love the sparkles on her veil!! pierro rlly spared no expense in dressing up his wifey <3#it's also funny how all of these outfits are similar to my own version in terms of 'savior wore grand clothing during her glory days as a#goddess -> wore simple attire after her decline for practicality and to blend in with humans/ disassociate from her old identity -> is now#dressed in even grander clothing as the harbinger's spouse. but it's used to reinforce her new identity and pierro's control over her'#tldr:: your design is so creative and i can see the effort you put in analyzing her character and depicting her based on your interpretatio#thank you for being my mutual + reader and i hope we can share even more harbinger/darling brainrot in the future :>

I usually HATE making self portraits cuz of typical self image issues n anxiety yadda yadda but I was feeling oddly inspired
Attempted at a slightly more realistic style for this, as I'm slowly trying to practice realism and anatomy
#I also wanted to try to emphasize the stuff I really dont like about my face as like a self therapy thingy#like how messy my hair gets#my huge eyebags#the way the ends of my mouth is weirdly down turned#n how my face just will turn red out of nowwhere#my art#artists on tumblr#small artist#self portrait#realism practice#mouse

For Aresyl 🧐 and 😓
Thanks so much for the ask!
^ Aresyl quenching both her thirst for knowledge and tea craving
🧐 FACE WITH MONOCLE — is your oc more logical or emotional?
Aresyl is definitely more of a thinker, in fact, you would be hard-pressed to read any emotion on her at all. She’s always introspective and searches for solutions or answers every waking moment. If you were to meet Aresyl, you might mistake her for being cold since she’s so stone-faced and dry. But really, she learned from a young age to never show her emotion even when they were clawing at her from the inside.
Her practicality is a big part of why she was able to resist falling to the dark side (along with the Rataka’s mother machine- but that’s another story). Aresyl rarely experiences anger and only feels hate for the unjust, so during her darkest times as a Sith, she instead carried a deep and hollow insatiable grief. She is quite a passionate person though, always chasing after what she believes in, which is why she could never feel at ease with the Jedi- who she interprets as mostly apathetic hypocrites. Instead, her unique connection with the force lands her uncomfortably homeless between the Jedi and the Sith.
😓 DOWNCAST FACE WITH SWEAT — is your oc open-minded or stubborn? are they inquisitive or do they prefer to keep to their bubble of knowledge?
Aresyl is far on the inquisitive and open-minded side and, like touched on above, is at constant debate with herself to find solutions and answers. From the moment she wakes up, she battles with questions. She has a never quenched thirst for knowledge- always trying to fill gaps in her understanding. Reading about ancient history and philosophy was important to Aresyl in her early Sith days. When she felt lost and confused among the Sith, she ardently searched the past to find something to believe in. She loved studying history, hoping to learn from the mistakes and examples of the past. Early on she understood the importance of preserving history.
This inquisitive momentum carried into her leadership positions as she became a Dark Lord and eventually Commander of the Alliance. She constantly yearns to find the best way to lead her people and bring peace to the galaxy. Even after she was no longer a historian, she maintained a steady passion for history and frequently read through historical archives.
She's also open minded in the way she is aware of the imperfections in her knowledge and knows there is always more to learn from others. Those who work for Aresyl will always attest to how she takes the time to listen to input or even life stories of people she respects (and she always has some basic level of respect for people by default).
(Prompts from This ask meme//Aresyl Introductory post Here)
#Thanks again for the ask!#I thought it would be fun if I used these asks as a chance to practice anatomy#because I Suck at it#so#forgive me if the anatomy doesn't make sense lol#Hopefully the sketch enhanced the experience#I'm so stuck in my ways as a portrait artist that things get wonky once I go further down than the shoulder lol#oc: aresyl#my oc#my swtor ocs#swtor#swtor oc#star wars#ask me anything#swtor sith inquisitor#My art#My post

Thanks to a fun year with the dbh fandom! I’d never posted any of my art before the start of this year and thanks to all you guys it has been such a fun experience! You guys are just all so nice! Happy new year!
#I’ve never done one of these things before but wow! It’s such a great way to visualize progress through the year!#you can totally see the period where I was testing out a different style before going back to portraits#while I don’t regret experimenting#you can def see that my technique was probably the best right before I started cartooning#and I regressed a bit in my time without any practice#but I think I definitely got better at choosing my colors in the mean time#so improvement!

My toxic trait is that I like how my incomplete drawings look better than the finished things
#im sorry i cant be her (my searching lines)#i cant stop thinking about this drawing i have a sinking feeling that im gonna be very unhappy when its done#or. not unhappy. but not as excited as i feel about it now!#i only worked in two short chunks on it but both were pretty productive#i have a feeling that when i take the time to really dedicate myself to it im gonna fuck something up#like i can see areas i need to/can improve already but the glaring flaws are ok! bc it's not finished!#it OVERALL looks cool and LOOKS like it has the potential to turn out well#but will it... WILL IT??? WILL IT EVER?#i have never been so totally completely satisfied w any finished drawing ive dedicated myself to fully.#tales from diana#this is also only the second time ive done a really deliberate self-portrait that wasnt in some for or another. practice#like of course ive drawn my face before. not that often actually. but since yes i do draw. i have drawn myself#i probably should've drawn myself more times for how often i think id like a nice picture of myself#but then again its not gonna be so 'nice' if i make it and am not totally happy w it?#see one of the ppl who inspired me to learn to draw is ned @sneez my dearest. he's spoiled me before#and drawn me very beautifully on several occasions and it's very much a thing to move one's heart#to see someone dedicate their talent to depicting YOU.#and i might say HE has made me look more beautiful in art than i think i'll ever look in the flesh#which is not to say he drew me inaccurately. but he's so talented that his art is more beautiful than life.#and i dont compare myself in skill to him bc he's been doing it for YEARS and way more trained than me in the visual arts.#like it simply wouldn't be fair so i only compare myself to myself. naturally#but i used to think. very VAINLY i might say. that if i could draw like him id draw beautiful pictures of myself all the time#well ce n'est pas ca mon ami. since learning to draw i've found im much more interested in drawing ppl i find beautiful#rather than myself. im not art. not through my own eyes at least.#i should really draw ned sometime. i really should.#actually somewhat embarrasingly i tried to draw him like 5 or 6 years ago. and i NEVER tried to draw then#i did show him tho and he thought it was very impressive but that's probably just bc he loves me. xoxox#maybe ill post that someday as a throwback just for the hell of it. lol. thatd be cute

Request done for @choijesoo of their beautiful OC! 🪽
#myart#artists on tumblr#oc art#character design#request#emmy bee is back#This was supposed to be a simple sketch just to get faster#but their concept just had so much potential i couldn’t help myself and just fully rendered that bad boy!#I tried to stay as close to their original portrait as i could#but i took a few creative liberties to tie in their story and personality in my own way#I hope you dont mind the little changes!#its not perfect but this gave me a bunch of practice with some experimental techniques ive been wanting to try#which is why it took so long lol#but then again thats what these requests are for to learn and grow as an artist#whether that means getting faster or trying things i have never tried before!#i encorage everyone to take risks in their art and try new things!#do it wrong and do it scared because that is how we learn!

Portrait Studies 1

UUUUGGHH! Listen, they're good. I know they're good. I'm just such a perfectionist that my brain won't stop telling me "Oh, that eye is shaped wrong, you should fix it," and "The mouth doesn't go there, why does it look like that?" and I know. That is why these are studies, because they are meant to help me improve, and believe it or not, it's not possible for my hands to draw things perfectly. Perfectionism is both a blessing and a curse.
Perfectionism aside, I had a really fun time drawing these, and plan to do more. Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Danny Kaye, Agatha Christie maybe... lots of people I can choose from. And now I really want to watch a Hitchcock film.
Both of the photos were just pulled from Google, by the way. I think they're both on Wikipedia.
#my art#art#portrait#portrait study#doris day#gene kelly#these took me forever!#smile lines are so hard#there's this combination of shading and linework that's hard to get right#it's way too easy to get someone smiling to look old instead#all parts of the face are hard to draw#i may be trying to prove to myself that i am capable of drawing faces#practice makes progress
