jamiazu / ashenviper week day 6: toxic yaoi overblot

SORRY it's very much a rushed mess especially in the lower half jdkslfjksd i was v busy today and trying to hurry to get something done for this before midnight [covers up the clock... i was close enough,,, it's still day 6 in some time zones jkfdlsjfs]

unfortunate that the overblots have so much going on and take me ten billion years to draw otherwise i think id like drawing them more bc they LOOK VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#ashenviper week 2024 #twisted wonderland #twst #jamiazu #ashenviper #azul ashengrotto #jamil viper #cereal tries to draw #and boy did i try. JFKLDSJFLDSJG #i kinda shot myself in the foot deciding today on the day i STARTED WAY LATER #to be the day that i wanted to try shading in the tones lol #and then. picked the day i was doing stuff with a lot of dark black parts #with no color to balance out the similar tones jkLJFSDKLJFDKLJS #im not exactly good with tonal contrast and UNFORTUNATELY IT'S VERY APPARENT HERE TODAY SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY #whatever it's practice teehee. good enough is GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!#anyway i was gonna draw them looking more evil but i kinda ended up goin the route of like. evil while gay #as in kind of extremely obsessed w/each other in their toxic yaoi state idk #like i think if they overblot at the same time it woulda been over for us boys theyd be too strong #uniting the powers of hypnosis and blackmail and also the fine print. and gay. to take over the school and then probably the world #u probs gotta click full screen squint on this one bc if ucked it up stupid style theres too much dark lol #USUALLY I HAVE THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM I DONT GO DARK ENOUGH #[professor voice] youre kinda stuck in the midtones #well. this time i went mid/dark and forgot the light lol #if i had more time maybe i coulda done some like actual shading to round it out but I DONT WANNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S LATE #AND IM SLEEEEPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY #if drawing overblot details didnt kill me tho i think id like to draw them being overblot together more often lol i enjoy the concept #maybe if i can shorthand it or GO BACK TO MY BELOVED TINY GUYS #i spent the most time on this one of all the other drawings this week #tomorrow i do not anticipate ill spend as long on but #i was considerin the glomas outfits which are ALSO SCARY DETAILS AUGHHGHGH <- it's bc im bad at drawing. LOL

Seeing how neat Ace's handwriting is as a child (especially compared to Luffy lol) just makes me imagine how patient Sabo must have been with teaching him

He probably had to correct him several times, and when Ace eventually got frustrated and lost his patience, he would encourage him and compliment his progress

They make so soft

#sad that he didn't get dnough time with Luffy to fo the same for him #not sure if it would have worked tho haha #I doubt he would stay put #it's hard for me to imagine Ace learned from anyone other yhan Sabo #I like to think after enough time had passed for Ace to have an easier time thinking about Sabo he got back to practicing sith his books #I doubt he would have been able to read marine documents properly with a 10 yo's reading knowledge #and Sabo was only with his family till 5 so he probably learned a lot of extra things later on his own as well #lulu rambles #one piece #sabo #sabo the revolutionary #revolutionary sabo #portgas d ace #portgas d. ace #asl brothers #alsoooo #I think Ace was actually a good learner #but he wouldn't see it that way sadly #I wonder if Sabo pushed him to start learning (I mean that in a good way ofc)#since he thought it would be necessary for them esp in the future #or Ace actually asked him to do wo #hmmm #ak many typos :b

I’ve been really thinking of reopening my art shop soon… I’ve been taking some practice doodles (hence all the posting lately) while I shake off my rust and I’m finding things I enjoy working on again. I miss trying my hand at more dragons/OCs and colors. my shop’s so broken rn lmao but that’s a problem for a later date it’s just nice getting back into art

#my mental health is starting to improve a bit #took a couple years but I found some meds that finally work better for me #ofc things aren’t 100% but I was really in a pit for a while #like ‘did not leave my house in months and slept 14 hours a day’ kind of pit #so. any improvement is better lol. but nah I’ve been making real improvement and im doing better. a lil shaky sometimes but that’s expected #diagnosed with chronic fatigue too. which is unfortunate but not unexpected. i am indeed god’s sleepiest soldier #i feel like a raisin slowly rehydrating but considering i was in a desert before any hydration is welcome #just learning how to enjoy things again overall #one thing I just couldn’t get myself to do (and enjoy) was art. doodles here and there but nothing to post #and it’s kind of funny because I feel like that downtime actually gave me a chance to think about what I wanted to work on #even when I wasn’t actively practicing #just paying attention to things I guess. enjoying art styles #i genuinely think my experimenting with stained is helping me learn colors #i spend hours in the scryshop im glad it’s paying off lmao #i want to tackle bigger things but i just gotta ease myself into the hang of things again #for now im having fun and that’s coooool. thank you all for your nice comments #i read all tags while kicking my feet and giggling. thank u all #that’s the update on Me tho. more to come hopefully #starting next month/julyish I will have a significant amount of time to dedicate to drawing which i intend on doing #so who knooowwwsss #rambles #funny enough coloring has become my favorite part of the process now. it used to be lineart. now lineart annoys me LOL #i also feel like i kinda lost my ability to write which has been frustrating but im focusing on art first #anyways that’s a whole different tangent rant over

if you draw enough monster ocs, when you go back to drawing a human character, it feels like "sameface syndrome" everytime, by virtue of their face being. human.

#toy txt post #or maybe i am just sameface syndrome #but also different face syndrome #two characters will have the same face but then the next time i draw those characters its a different face than they had last time!#i know part of it is being out of practice but also there is definitely an element of feeling constrained by human facial structure lmao #the monsters have Their Own Problems but like. no one has a face like bokrae no matter how inconsistent i am about drawing her #her features are iconic enough to her that you can tell everytime #birdie???? i faceclaimed eartha kitt for her and im still struggling cos i feel weird about faceclaiming as a concept #but even then 😭 one time i was trying to give headloose a face and someone was like wow he looks like birdie!#me 😭😭😭😭😭 what!!!!!! hes not supposed to!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i need to practice. features #you know the worst part about coming up w a bunch of fuckin Scenarios in my brain for ocs is that i have even fucking Drawn them yet #to give them like. iconic staple features and figure out what their faces look like. which feels like it would really help to have that #knowledge and muscle memory before i jump into trying to draw intense scenes with difficult poses!!#not to mention. listen. i can do the monster faces. somewhat. the bodies??????????? well for one. theyre too big everytime #im convinced i could be trying to draw bokrae on like a full ass wall size paper like a mural thing and run out of room. it just keeps #happening. i have no sense of scale for them either. by which i mean i struggle w scale already and also cant decide what i want it to be #and ive tried to handwave it away by being like ohhh uh. birdie casts spells on them to change their sizes for convenience but also #no. perhaps that explanation works for other ppl. @ myself tho its not good enough i Know Better!!!!!!#agh!!!!!!! i really need to figure out bokrae's Teeth also. like i dont. i coukd get away with it. but i should. and i want to.#anyway all this to say that i need to give these characters faces and body designs (actually the body designs for humanoid ocs is the easy #part. the faces are whats stumping me? well. i need more practice w all the body types again but like i Know what im Going For at least.#for the most part anyway. havent fully figured out heights. struggling w characters that i want to make short but give imposing tall energy #on occasion? birdie can be short all day long no problem. I want Alasdair to be short enough that he has a bunch of short boyfriends that #feel tall around him? bytte was going to be like 6ft max but then i thought about making her taller and like. what if i made her taller #headloose is not that /short/ but he is Not Tall and prolly pretty lean? twink build for sure #and of course all these short /tall distinctions come with a bias of relativity to my own height which i categorize as medium height #but short ppl call me tall and insist its not average and tall ppl call me short. (5'6) and then i have to factor in how the gender changes #the dynamic of a height like my height is Short For A Man but medium to tall for a Woman. which id argue is medium height bc mens heights #are socially held to high standards (hehe) and also i know ethnicity/race is also a factor? but im out of tags. rip. bye

@mrk90mixsideb two versions bc im indecisive lol

#adventure time #finn the human #finn mertens #rest of the tags are just rambling ->#drawing requests that make you realize that your normal artstyle is like 2 creative decisions removed from the “on-model” AT artstyle #WHICH. honestly makes it harder to get it to look good LOL #i think i can def get it with some practice tho ! i def wanna draw more adventuretime fanart #nyways i kinda got carried away with this request but i think im settled in enough that i can start on the rest of em now #(now = probably one every couple of days LOL)#gonna try and do em in as close to chronological order as i can manage

Where's the line drawn between being a student and being a worker? cause currently I feel more like an unpaid worker but I have a horrible feeling any complaint would be left with "Its experience"

Rant in tags sorry I just need to complain

#9 to 5 #came in on a Saturday #am getting no support on what I'm doing #just getting told stuff #and shouted at #had to practically beg for a 5 minute break the other day #got pushed to go up the tallescope again and again even tho it was sweltering heat and i needed to stop and get a drink #my teacher ignored safety regulations when i was rigging lights by pulling the pully system too fast with the light on it #which made the rope swing out of control and catch my fingers in the mechanism #he then blamed me #he also had a go at my friends for not getting the work done quick enough when its a two man job we'd paired up to do...#and i had passed out aftee cutting myself and bleeding everywhere for a good 20 minutes without him noticing #the first aid kit took ages to get to me as well as all the rooms were locked cause it was a Saturday #and my parents keep telling me not to have a go and get myself in trouble when hes supposed to be our stage manager and isnt doing anything!#im not even on this damn show cause I'm doing my own in my spare time on top of this right now. which he knows

me when i ship zhaohan 😔 there's next to no content unless i'm just not looking in the right spots

be the change you want to see in the world my man.... if i can trick people into thinking masadai is real then i know you can rally the troupes with them lovable goobers......

#snap chats #zhao and yeonsu ARE cute to me tho thats the thing. theyre so sillay #i dont have many ideas with them but i love drawing them together when i get the motivation #i love drawing zhao and joon-gi honestly since Like Ichi i draw them kinda differently from everyone else #/kinda differently/ zhao's a foot tall motherfucker #BUT NO with joon-gi i want him to be a bishounen protag... so it's fun giving him all those sparklies and anime energy...#tho it'd be more appropriate to go for a manhwa art style huh #something to practice me thinks...#REGARDLESS i believe in you anon..... get that propaganda flowing you'll gather a small group in no time...#if you're sick enough in the head <- me #oh but if you arnet confident or know what to do yet !!!! pixiv and twitter generally has a good amount of art for them #i know i happen upon zhao and joon-gi art when i scroll through twitter sometimes #of course you have to follow eastern artists but they ALWAYS have The Best And Most Delicious Shit #they never miss they're the only artists i follow on twitter im p sure LMAO #if you don't know what artists to follow on twitter though pixiv's your best friend #some people are scared of her but not me...... i'm too numb to everything... plus she does have a LOT of good stuff there #'趙ハン' is the zhaohan tag on there. there's 101 works but i know not every thing is tagged sometimes #like a lot of arakawa fam stuff isn't tagged 'arakawa family' or even 'arakawa'- just generally 'yakuza' or 'rgg' and stuff like that #just gotta do a lil digging my friend ! best of luck to you ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

It continues to trip me up how much human brains are just weird organic computers

#thoughts #oni talks #oni vents #additionally wild that the easiest ways for me to explain brain stuff are generally in computer or video game terms despite the fact I’m #notoriously awful with computers (and to a lesser extent video games) although I won’t if my natural inclination would be different if I #didn’t have trauma related to computers/if maybe it’s the classic adhd interest based learning difference? unknown tbh #I still really wanna go to school to study people but academics is fucked as hell so making that work will be a personal hell for me #but also I have so many theories and data I can’t do anything super tangible with coz I’m not in an academic setting so even if i wanted to #talk about stuff and work on it no one would take me seriously w/o that academic background no matter how much effort I’d put in learning it #on my own for my entire life at this point it won’t matter if it’s not on some level acknowledged by an academic system I despise tbh #it’s one of those things that makes me miss my dad coz we used to commiserate together about these sorts of things tho he made it work far #better than I have been able to. i wish i could ask him science questions again.#anyway human brains are so fascinating but also I really wish I was better at explaining myself analysis of people I feel like I’m good #enough at this point to be like partway understood coz I’ve done so much practice on my own coz I tend to rehearse explanations ahead of tim #but its still often misunderstood or misconstrued & it’s understandable a lot of the time coz like most other people aren’t spending a ton #of their free time thinking about and researching how people work/analyzing those around them+themselves vs me whose been doing since like #I dont remember the exact time but I do remember being really young & making the conscious decision to study & analyze my family for example #so that I could be helpful & translate their words to each other better + ppl often don’t see things about themselves that others do #also forever thinking about the human brain/experience in relation to the sims & video game commands lmao #currently trying to explain save states in the human brain to ppl but no one knows wtf I’m talking about #& researching academic terms that are close to what I want doesn’t necessarily work if there’s no academic term for what I’m talking about #hence wanting to do the research myself coz sometimes it feels like there’s all this stuff that’s obvious to me but no one else?? from what #I’ve seen in recent studies they are only starting to scratch the surface of stuff I’ve already known sometimes? other stuff is older & it’s #VERY gratifying when it’s stuff I’ve known but not been listened to about & it actually gets the proper recognition #though getting ppl to actually listen/take what I say seriously is its own journey & I have to be careful myself bc I’m human so my own #understanding/data is constantly updating + I have storage issues so finding the data I have in my brain is its own struggle sometimes #every version of me is interested in people & I think that’s neat even if other people don’t understand that concept #sometimes I feel like an alien/robot whose sole task is just to study & support humanity & it’s very weird tbh

nooo im all caught up on my manhwa and now i have to actually do something else

hell world

#*scoffs* as if i don't have a bunch of other comics and some video games lined up #BUT!!!! 😩 u know when u get sucked into something for weeks or a month then u finish and face The Void #yeah lol. it's still going too ૮ – ﻌ–ა I'll try 2 keep up #i been rereading Tower of God for a while tho 😹 it's sooo good.#it's rly funny it just has the one season animated because this is one of those cases where you TRULY have not seen anything yet #i assumed there was just enough material for like one or two more seasons but oh no. lmaooo #it's like ~12% of the story and there's hella seamless time skips bc doing things actually takes a realistic amount of time lol #so there's still A Lot to explore. i already liked it but i found it a lot more enjoyable the second time around 0:#“takes a realistic amount of time” ← it is seamless bc u do not have to necessarily see or follow them thru this time #u can just b at the result sometimes. the pacing is always p good tho. it never rly feels like it drags on longer than it needs to #except maybe the last like 50-100 chapters bc the artist needed to take it easier‚ which makes for some good long visuals #but they do kinda feel like padding for the story that drag a bit before getting to the point #but this is after being absolutely spoiled for like 560 chapters which are long as fuck themselves. the scrollbar is like 1-1.5mm 😩#on top of it moving fast and staying interesting like berserk does. kinda stumbling frm one thing to the next but #yeag :3 yayy it was very nice and i will be referring back to it a lot as a means to keep up w the story and to practice my drawing

frankly i am almost impressed with how many things t.rue b.lood manages to get wrong abt pre-christian polytheism and it makes me kind of excited to see how they manage to fuck up wicca, a religion which is famously pretty un-fuck-upable because you can really make anything work within a handful of parameters.

#(d.ionysus as both... c.ernunnos (the H.orned Godtm) and s.atan? how DOES he do it)#(btw please know that when i dunk on w.icca i do so lovingly. for the most part. my own practice is probably best described as w.iccan)#(anyway what a show. if you squint and ignore the violent racism and misogyny and homophobia and like 3/4 of the plot......)#(lafayette and tara and eric remain my favorites tho i know just enough abt what happens after i stopped last time)#(to know i am NOT gonna like what's coming lmao)#(c.harlaine h.arris 🤝 a.nne r.ice 'c.onfederate vampires are sexy i swear')#iv. tilting pretty sharply bitchward.

Every day I consider a little more quitting my job and dedicating like a full month to just learning basic art techniques

#but I just need to pay off ooooone last credit card and then buy a new computer rig #and then honestly?????#i may quit to just do freelance work #just enough funds to pay for my college courses next year #but then with freelance work comes the ability of free TIME to sit and study other peoples art styles and watch tutorials #oh to be able to understand shadows and simpler ways to color in grayscale #to be able to do more engaging expressions #to draw **backgrounds**#baby steps tho friends baby steps........#i will say i compare my whump art here to the old art on my g/t blog when i had just started digital art and goddamn #my style used to be ROUGH because i was practicing like 78 different things at once #so nothing ever looked good or consistent...............#i think my style is getting a bit more defined now but it's still pretty stiff and plain #oh well practice makes perfect
