thinking of getting back into my attempts at making amiibos, my splatoon 3 inkling was a massive failure (that gd fried hair....... sooo hard to do on a small scale) so i think ill make the next attempt bigger than an actual amiibo, this time my octoling (ive tentatively named her lin), maybe ill paint her in side order colouration to commemorate........ rly hope side order has either bloblobber or sploosh so i can justify using one of those for the amiibo........

Middagsgäst, akvarell, 17x12 cm

Nötväckan är en stamgäst vid fågelmaten i vår trädgård. På helgerna har jag börjat att dricka min första kaffekopp för dagen vid köksfönstret så att jag kan titta på fåglarna som kommer för att äta av fröna och nötterna som vi har lagt ut till dem. Ett av de bästa sätten att börja en dag!

Dinner guest, watercolour, 17x12 cm

The Nuthatch is a frequent guest at the bird feeders in our garden. On weekends I've started to drink my first cup of coffee for the day by the kitchen window so that I can watch all the birds that come to eat the seeds and nuts that we've laid out for them. One of the best ways to start a day!

I have not drawn anything for two days but this, these two. I got posessed okay. I am so normal about them. So so normal. Here we go, loveletter to @tangledinink and all the good food they provide with all their awesome stories, comics, arts, everything I am inhaling everything like melt id down inject it into my bloodstream. (I need to play catchup on all the good stuff i am behind on the keysmashing in the tags under the buffet or ART)

Soooo, being "normal" aside, the twins are everything i wanna adopt them they are precious and I love them and they are the fanciest bitches ever. They are such twins. They hit me like a suckerpunch that I gladly threw myself into with a smile. But then again that is a general experience with stuff done by their creator so like. You feel me?

As for housekeeping, I used inks on the background, copics on the twins and bling bling metallic mica watercolours on anything silver in this piece - here is a vid on how shiny this pic is: (unedited bc me tired)

Also tagging @tmntseparatedaucompetition because this was very much meant as Gemini AU propaganda but then I got ambitious and my hands tired so I took my time when I realized there is no way to finish this before the polls ends xd But the AU is still in the tournament so let's pretend these are big ass banners that get rolled out for the next round, sponsored by Big Mama naturally~

What is your favorite piece of art you have created?

Ooooooof. Uhhhm, tough one babe...

I mean, there are a lot. There are some traditional art pieces that I am proud of, but most of my art is digital and looks amazing if I do say so myself. Writing is also an art, and animation is literally drawing over and over and over again, so...

It's a tough call.

There's this one traditional drawing/watercolour painting I did back in high school that I am still so proud of, even though I look back at it and cringe at my old skill level. But hey, I made a pop-up logo for that and some of the drawings look like actual screenshots from the episode, so TAKE THAT PRIDE AND EGO!!

Out of my writing, there are tons of things I've written that written that are both original stories and fanfics. As much as I love my fanfics, there's this one long short story I made about how Peter Pan and Captain Hook became who they were, and that story helped get me into my college of choice!

Choosing a digital drawing is difficult, mostly cuz I have made so many over the years, and I personally believe my art skills and style bloomed exponentially over the past two years specifically. So Imma skip on that for now.

My favourite piece of animation would probably have to be... erm... a clip from my senior film project about my original characters, Lloyd and Imogen. The film as a whole was cute, and I animated a lot of scenes myself but also worked with a group of awesome artists! I haven’t posted the whole vid here or on Youtube though. Thing is, by the end of college, many scenes were still unfinished due to animators falling through and I am kinda ashamed to show it to people (even though those who have seen it say they don't notice the unfinished scenes until I point them out)...

But I am wicked proud of these scenes in particular that I animated for the film. They look incredible and adorable!!

Anywhoser, that's my overly long answer for now.

A finished watercolour piece and a lil vid of creating it 💙✨

I had a dream once that the IMF boys had a tiktok and did the classic tiktok things mid-missions and stuff and I NEED to know you opinion on what their account would be like

Ok so replying to this again. I think Benji Jane and Will are the most online (and let’s indulge and say that it doesn’t cause conflit of interest with the fact they’re secret agents lol)

Benji’s the most popular (2.3M followers) and he posts the randomest most funniest shit on the PLANET. He hardlaunches Ethan with the out of my league trend (13M) despite NEVER mentioning being in a relationship before. He regularly forces Luther and Ethan to do trends w the rest of Hunt’s team, like I can’t find ayesha cuz she’s probably sucking dick/bitch pick up your goddamn phone you’re gonna make me sick where they all are on it w really cool transitions. He likes to talk abt SW or ST or DW a lot and one of his most liked videos (and how some people discovered him) is him replying to a comment that’s like “what’s knotting” and he just stares into the cam while putting one a red nose to a circus music. He posts himself and Ilsa while they’re dressed up for the opera on a mission with like the song fashion in the background and everyone goes crazy. He posts a vid where it’s him and Ethan looking at each other with the baby I’m yours song and it gets like 20M views. He does a transition from him at the gym to him in evening clothes he had to wear for a mission to everyday I spend my time drinking wine feeling fine and he doesn’t EVEN mean to do it as a thirst trap but that’s how it’s received and people are like oh my god…benji. Similarly he makes a post where he details his tattoos (after being asked a buncha times) and he’s shirtless, and everyone’s losing their minds because they’re like YOU HAVE A SIX PACKS? He and Jane post a short dancing vid to cmon let’s get it started lemme see you move your body and it goes goes viral bcs that’s when their respective followers find out they’re friends. He makes a photo post that’s like we’ll be a fine line we’ll be alright with a pic of the first hunts team mission w their latest one, and people ask him if he likes Harry styles and he just goes “who❤️” He does the pabrobui mwah mwah trend w Ilsa while they’re ALSO in a mission in Poland and they’re dressed in very warm clothes and everyone’s like oh my god…I’ve seen two pretty best friends. I genuinely think he’s got a few moves in him so there’s one of his most liked vids where he’s filming himself cooking in his kitchen where he’s barely dancing to busy earnin’ and the vibes are IMMACULATE. He 100% did the ceilings and you with the dark curls you with the watercolour eyes trends. He ALSO forced the entire team to do the benjamin’s deli trend (dancing slowly in the light vs throwing moves in the dark while people put on their phones’ light). He also posts himself during a training sesh to bts’ steve aoki remix mic drop and people are like YOU FUCKING KNOW BTS? and he just goes stan jin👍 he’s also a skilled violin and piano player so sometimes he posts himself playing.

Jane’s account is at 700k and one of her most liked vids is with Ilsa where they’re lipsynching the pam and i feed off each other’s energy. I tease her, she teases me (…) and that’s when people start to get that they’re all mates. She does the bitch you know I’m sexy trend with Will and Benji. She forces Ethan (he lost a dare) to do the you carry yourself with the confidence of a…much taller man trend. She soft launches Ilsa w a video of “24H in my life” (while she’s on break) where you can see glimpse of her gf and her followers go insane trying to figure out who it is. She posts herself and benji where benji’s tied to a repelling cable on a high building and she’s zooming in on him w the never back down never what/never give up audio in the background and people are like what the fuck r y’all doing??? She also is a great dancer so she regularly posts herself to the latest dance trend (she KILLED Angel in Tibet and Back on 74.) Both she and Benji did the okokokok lalala trend w their respective partners. (ilsa’s ok janes lala and ethans lala while benjis okokok)

Brandt (560k) is fucking hysterical bcs you’d think he doesn’t know what fun is and is so serious about literally everything and well. you’d be kind of right. He mostly post himself at the gym and people ask him a lot abt his supplements and his program, things to which is gracefully replies. His most liked video is SO Brandt coded because it’s just him crossed armed at his desk looking into the cam with like, company in the background, which technically qualifies as a thirst trap and everyone’s so confused because they’re like oh my god…I think I’m attracted to office workers. He also posts a lot of him sparring, sometimes w Benji or Jane or Ethan or Ilsa and people go kind of insane about those. He never gets Hunley on cam but once he replies to a comment that’s like “are you free tonight” and he just stares into the cam and pulls hunley’s left hand w the wedding band on it with the audio IM MARRIED in the background. THATS where his followers find out he’s gay and they’re like A WIN FOR THE COMMUNITY. Just like benji he can play the guitar, so sometimes he posts vids of himself playing, either of requested songs or some he likes.

very abruptly cut vid of me ranting abt watercolour

Hello! I saw some of your colored pencil works and I really love your style! I myself am trying to get into colored pencils as a medium and I just wanted to ask what resources or tips do you have for someone who's an intermediate drawer but a novice with color and colored pencils

thank you!! i don’t have any specific resources but when i first got ‘serious’ about colour pencils i did research into oil vs wax based (eg prismacolor) pencils before buying a set. i use faber castell polychromos because i prefer the qualities of oil based pencils, but it’s all down to personal preference

paper type also affects pencil drawings greatly, if you want texture & a lot of layers, go for a rougher tooth, and if you want minimal white spots at the cost of fewer layers use smooth paper (i use bristol board for pet portraits)

you can also experiment with using pencil on top of watercolour/marker etc bases or coloured paper, e.g. for this deer drawing i did a watercolour base which you can see in this vid

with paint people say to start with fewer colours and learn how to mix but for pencil i would say get as many colours as you can bc the only ‘mixing’ you can do is layering and there’s a limit to how many layers your paper (and hand) can take. its also hard to buy the missing colours later without rebuying the ones you already have. you can def make do with a smaller set if you want to do highly stylized art

'burnishing' is good to know about

for colour in general i think just study art that uses colour in a way you like, the principles will be similar across mediums. i don’t really believe in right or wrong ways to do things, as long as you’re achieving what you want. if you don’t know where to start, i recommend checking out james gurney, he has painting vids on youtube which give an interesting insight into how he uses colour. i just found a vid which shows him combining watercolour and coloured pencils

also find colour pencil art you like and think about how it was made. i love @ink-the-artist ‘s pencil art, i think they use marker bases in some of theirs and it gives it a rly saturated warm look (esp ones w yellow bases) & i love how the darkness is made up of different colours. they use prismacolor which gives it that waxy blended look

sorry this is kind of a word vomit, i hope at least some of it is useful to you. good luck with your colour journey! ♡

Belladonna Woodlands, the comic project I sent to an art recidency back in May, didn't make it but I'm very stupid and there's an indie publisher open for submissions so here I am, working on two more pages.

Which reminds me, I posted about the possibility of streaming watercolours next week but I don't really feel like it, depression is hitting hard, instead I'll record tiny vids and post them during the week.

Also, don't worry, I'm still secretly working on that fanart of that anime I mentioned yesterday.

[vilelittlecritter]

Tomorrow I'm going to try to do some art because I want to start getting myself in some sort of schedule to get stuff done!

I don't know what to draw though, I want to practice fundamentals and such but I also want to start actually doing some proper art.

I'll probs just watch some Proko vids, draw from reference of stuff I wanna get better at then just fuck about for the rest of the day!

Might actually whip out the watercolours and digital tablet for some colour!!!

I would use the alcohol markers but good lord they are so difficult to use...

As well as I feel like I don't have the right colours tbh

I might try them out but probably not

[catboydan]

tell me what the video Basically, I’m Gay means to you?

I think it’d be easier to list all the things it doesn’t mean to me than the things it does lmao

but fr, BIG was the video that got me here in the first place. I remember seeing it and all the hype—I knew who dnp were at the time, but all I’d be able to tell you at the time was it was a pretty big deal he was coming out. BIG is so well-written, well-presented, it drew me in right away. I clicked for the fact that a lot of people were talking about it; I came out of it wanting more.

So I got more. So I started with Dan’s vids, especially stuff similar to BIG like Trying to Live My Truth, and was pretty much hooked right away. Didn’t take long to end up on Phil’s channel too, +dnpg. Consumed it all like mad.

So I logged into my old unused tumblr for the first time in maybe 6 or 7 years and started following. That action alone has done me so so much good.

When BIG came out I was 20. I was knee-deep in the “trying to figure out who I am” shit. More specifically, I was trying desperately to ditch the younger version of myself, the fucking redditor since I was like 10, surrounded by misogyny, who “wasn’t like other girls” (even if I’d never say it aloud). I was trying to allow myself to be a woman in a world that despises and mocks anything woman-centric. I was coming out of a lifelong depression for the first time after a decade of almost total apathy, and frankly, I was learning how to handle emotions again.

BIG kicked me in the stomach. In a good way. I cried. I didn’t know this man and I cried. It helped me realize that I love learning about other peoples’ experiences, ones that I may never have, and how wonderful it is to be able to share our lives with the world in this way and learn about each other’s unique perspectives. I especially love (and relate to) the way Dan explains things so meticulously. I was rediscovering passion after having lost it for so long; BIG helped bring some of it back to me.

I got into the phandom here, something teenage me would have absolutely cringed at myself for. Even though I’d never dare judge anyone here for liking what they like, I didn’t know how to give myself that same grace. After what, five? years here, now I’ve finally been able to allow myself to enjoy what I like. The amazing community I’ve found myself in has been such a catalyst for this, and I’d never have gotten here without BIG.

So yeah. BIG’s pretty good. I used to watch it every day at work while prepping Pizza Hut pastas. I used to watch it as I tried to stave off a depressive episode, sitting in the bath eating candy, desperate for any happiness at all, before I got my ADHD diagnosis and meds. It never failed to make me laugh too cuz frankly, its funny moments are great. That bit where he looks at the tag of his jacket and it says HIGHLY FLAMMABLE gets me every single time. I live for dinof-related jokes. (And tbh, as aforementioned, being on reddit for so long, seeing shitty watercolour come so far puts a smile on my face too.)

idk. This is rambly and I’m not sure if I got everything across, but that’s because I kind of love that video so much it’s hard to contain it in one little post. Thanks for the ask, anon (and possibly the other asks recently too, if you’re the same anon) :)
