He's excited to see you!

[bidokja]

every time i see a post saying that kim dokja exists only in the "third" round because he dies on the subway in all the other rounds i want to scream. he doesn't die on the subway. SP cannot find him there because in every other timeline kim dokja does not make it to the subway at all.

WHOOPS I once again…posted that way too early anyways let’s restart this is the last set of collab art images that I have saved on my phone! Again,I love the limited color palette,alt hairstyles and sort of trendy outfits that still go w/ the candy theme it’s rlly nice ^^ still a great one to end on

[frankiebirds]

morgan and elle's friendship is so severely underrated and i wish we'd gotten more of them. they go on vacation together! there are also some lines in the first episode that, at least to me, imply that they knew eachother before. morgan is introduced talking to/quizzing trainees, so that seems like the most likely way, but. i don't know. i love them and i would have been curious to see how it would have been elaborated upon had lola glaudini stayed on.

(side note: i love morgan's pose and face in the second screencap. he's so silly)

[possum-quesadilla]

yo, do you have an oc I can draw you as?

Yep! You can draw me as my sona, Blucifer! Or just a strange looking furry creature, or a possum. I’m happy with any of them!

Distraught by my writing? Go ahead, put me in a blender, the electric chair, the trash, or in the woods, anything! (Or give me tiramisu) Go ham. Blucifer was made to be like a dog toy rather than a beloved plush if that makes sense

Sort of hodgepodge reference sheet for Blucifer below!

tagged by @18minutemajor for a hockey art share tag game! I enjoy talking about myself but am terrible at posting so this is perfect. i WILL talk too much, this is a threat.

rules: post your first ever hockey art, your latest hockey art, and your favourite hockey art, then tag three hockey artists.

FIRST ART

I made the Kraken Orb (Korb) at the end of the 22-23 season, as a commemoration, although a sort of ironic one considering i had only gotten into hockey in time for the playoffs so there are a couple players here i actually never got to see play at all before making this (Joonas, Jaycob, Burky, Fleury)

it was a whole lot of fun though! Prior to this i was in a months-long art slump after leaving a fandom, so it was a total surprise to have hockey of all things be what revitalized my art.

technically, the very first hockey art from this was Matty; you can kinda tell by the way his lines are a bit thicker than the rest since i wasn't in my groove yet. i also knew coming in that i wanted to arrange the faces in a circle, but didn't plan out beyond that, so i just made sure that i was getting a variety of head directions in my references and hoped for the best. My favorites from this are Gru, Soucy, Dunn, Schultz, Borgen, and Eeli. I think they all turned out really well.

LATEST ART

MEAT CUT MEAT CUT

this one is fun for me because it's quite different from my usual style of art, with lineart and non-realistic forms/face. I've had the concept in my head for awhile after hearing/reading so many interesting descriptions of the physical qualities that good hockey players possess.

'Sacrifice the Body' actually came in mid-art when i had an epiphany doing something like driving my car or an activity similarly unrelated. Before that, it was going to be a lil heart drawn on the chest and the going contender for the label was 'Ferda.' which would've been great, but sacrifice the body just worked too dang well with the themes.

FAVORITE ART

i mean, c'mon. it's gotta be this one.

my magnum opus, my white whale. it came out even better than i saw it in my head and i love everything about it. when i came up with the idea, i had TOTALLY forgotten that Climate Pledge has those giant windows, so when i set out to find references and saw it, it instantly made everything even better with LIGHTING!!!!

It was my first time drawing this kind of interior architecture and although there's definitely things i would do differently now, im so so proud of how it looks and turned out. I was also still drawing through my decade-old laptop at that point, so I had to split up the work on this into two files - i sketched everything, then worked ONLY on the bg until it was about 90% done, then made a flattened copy to open as a new file to draw the players on top of.

I also have a bunch of WIP shots of it in my drafts I guess I'll throw in here now!

initial sketch to get down the composition before i remembered the window | lines of the building! i actually found a 3d virtual tour of CPA from before it was built which had the PERFECT angle, so i screencapped that and straight up traced the architecture. Ultimately, the scoreboard and the paint lines ended up getting moved around.

planning out my lighting in greyscale (i really need to do this more often, i struggle with values so much, alas) | in progress bg! at this point, the ice and the boards/glass were the only things completed. I eventually said 'fuck it' to being able to see the areas behind the stands like you could in all my references, and just put the people dots all the way up.

Now the most gut-wrenching part

THE TAGS

this is where me being bad at posting comes into play, because instead i just lurk and thats not great for forming connections HERE GOES

@ruinedcasket - it has been awesome seeing your art progress! would love 2 hear your thoughts about it

@rouzys - your kraken stuff is so pretty, love how you capture likenesses

oh god oh fuck everyone else i know has already been tagged fuck oh sshit

If You Are An Artist On Hockey Twit And See This, It Is A Sign

[merlinfromberlin]

I have to admit that this fandom has conditioned me well.

I just need to read or hear the words Tyger Pax and my stomach turns into a pit full of anxious scraplets trying to eat each other because scrap is about to go down.

Nothing good ever comes from that place.

two conversations i want to have about "dead dove do not eat"

it's annoying how people treat it as a genre or descriptor in and of itself when it hypothetically should have no ties to "problematic" or "dark", it literally just means "what you see is what you get with these tags" - which is a concept that can encompass any kind of writing. in an ideal world dead dove is not a Type of fic, it is literally just a neutral descriptor, and i think it's very annoying how it got largely co-opted by proshippers who think it's shorthand for Dark And Twisted Porn™ and treat it as some kind of genre in and of itself

it just sounds incredibly lame. what's wrong with just saying "yeah heed the tags this is serious" instead of assuming everyone knows about a nonsense vaguely-artsy meme phrase. can we not just use our words

[bring-forth-his-sac]

Or, I was going to do a similar teacher! reader x Negan slow burn story but then I thought that maybe that's too similar??

In absolutely desperate for any teacher AU stories so pleeeeeease do it!!! I would love to read more AU stuff from you!

Thank you so much!!!!!! Currently working on a raunchy modern AU that’s DBF Negan x reader!

I know it’s not a teacher AU (which I’ll definitely be going back to) but you’ll still be getting your fill of modern AUs!!!

Embarrassing as fuck for no reason to talk in my real voice. I'm going to go crazy rn.

[asexualbookbird]

I won a box of winter knitting patterns in a holiday grab and decided hey my sister is getting a hat for her, her boyfriend, and her baby, so now I get to speedrun three bruins inspired hats in um *checks calendar* two weeks

[fiddler-sticks]

I have two questions for y'all

1: What are your headcanons for the ninja's music tastes?

2: Do you headcanon Cole's music taste different from what it is in canon? (if y'all weren't already aware, Cole's canon music taste is soft rock)

[bendoodle]

truly need to make myself a photo shoot space for my drag stuff because taking pics in the bathroom mirror is all fun and games until i notice that there's a rumpled wet towel on the side of the bath in all the shots
