augustus making friends with the easter island moai head and they both bond over not having a body
🗿
The sketch because it turned out good (and honestly I was terrified that I'd ruin it when I tried to color it) and the Moai before I decided to attempt a background (it was too empty with the white background, I felt bad)
#Anon are you trying to kill me? Why would you make me draw the Moai statue? (Just kidding#I liked drawing it but please not again)#it turned out nice (a little wonky but whatever)#I love working with watercolors so much it's just a bit too time consuming and messy#ask#anonymous#answered#night at the museum#natm#augustus caesar#moai#natm moai#fanart#art#traditional art#watercolor#illustration#traditional illustration#yes this post deserves these tags ok#this better get at least 20 notes.

Ngl, I'd be in love with daitou's tattoos and would want to see All Of Them. They're so interesting! And I wanna touch em. Can I be 🦇 anon, if you don't have one? -🦇
Yes! I actually had this tattoo-related piece of lore for the longest time now, but I was never sure how to insert it into the story. 😭 It’s finally my chance to introduce you to tebori, the traditional Japanese art of tattoos.
You hand Daitou another tissue.
“How did you even catch a cold in the midst of summer?” you ask, somewhat incredulous.
The yakuza man lets out another hearty sneeze.
“I guess I stood in the rain for too long, heh.”
A raspy chuckle escapes his mouth. Indeed, last night had been storming and he'd been tasked to discard the bodies from a recent gang fight. Less hassle with the police that way.
Obviously, he can’t tell you that, especially since Kazuya gave him a proper scolding last time he was too generous with the gory details. “What’s the matter with you? Why don’t you just hand her a bone saw and ask her to hold the trash bags, too? Fuck’s sake…”
“Don’t worry too much about me, miss (Y/N). I’ve had worse.” He smiles and turns slightly, pointing behind with his thumb. “After my back piece, I thought I was going to die!”
You raise your eyebrows.
“The tattoo? How would that make you sick?”
“I’ve had all my stuff done the old-fashioned way. Everyone in our Family has been going to the same artist for longer than I've been around."
Daitou raises his hands and gestures the act.
"You use a thin bamboo tool with a needle at one end. Like woodblock carving, y'know? One swift move. Takes a lot of skill, 'specially for linework. It's actually less painful this way, although it's much slower compared to a machine.
Now here's the thing, back in the day pigments were made in a way that caused immune reactions from the body. So for a day or two after your tattoo, you'd have high fever, lethargy, stuff like that. They've improved the formula since, or so I hear. Our old man refuses to switch. 'What? Ya scared of a little heat? Yakuza tattoos aren't for everyone, go back home if you can't handle it, punk!', he likes to say. It's like a manly thing for him, y'know.
My back tattoo, that one took the longest. After the final session, I had the worst fever of my life. Couldn't get out of bed for days!"
He ponders for a moment and grins.
"What's so funny?"
"Would've been nice to know you back then, miss. Just havin' you here makes me feel better already, hehe."
[More yakuza]

How you draw beast style is so cool!! Ive been trying for ages but i can never get it right (i do traditional tho so idk if that helps u give tips). It always ends up looking weird with wrong proportions 😭.
I'm still a beginner Artist myself so there's not much tips I can give 😭 but if you feel like the proportions are off it's better to focus on studying anatomy and proper proportions before trying to stylize them like beast
I've been trying to copy manga beast artstyle forever now because I really liked it but I've also copied alot of different artists that I liked and took inspirations from as well (also I would've never gotten better if it wasn't for my YouTube teachers fr)
And also I've collected all of hoshikawa's art that I can find online (outside of Mangas) because I love the style in general, I've always been trying to break it down and see the process underneath the finished drawing and try to figure out why he drew it like this and why it looks so good to me
(examples)
Studying the process is much more important than the finished drawing imo, simplifying it for myself and also to figure out why is the style so distinct and interesting in the first place, I've picked up a few tips and tricks along the way but I think consistency is what helped me out the most
Although, in the end this artist is way more experienced than the both of us so don't be hard on yourself if your drawings look a bit off 💕🐣
#Ask#I'm not the best at explaining stuff I hope this makes sense#😭#I took a stroll through ur acc while writing this#Your art is super pretty keep it up!!!

under the mistletoe
characters: shenhe, yae miko, wanderer/scaramouche, kuki shinobu, kazuha
style: fluff
song inspo: mistletoe by justin bieber
an: i was originally going to finish this at the christmas party, but it was dreading and hard to focus since nobody wanted to go home till 1 in the morning.. (in addition to the loud noises) but here’s another christmas themed post i pushed out!! idc if it’s late by a few days, this idea’s been sitting in my head for a while. and bro i forgot how to use vocabulary and grammar in this one, because of the damn party that ruined my brain 😭
notes: not proofread, reader is gender neutral, written at a very crowded party but finished at home, swearing in scara’s/wanderer’s part, shinobu’s part is a little long, some crack, lowercase intended, kazuha calls you a sweet dove, i do not know much about mistletoes, how tf do you write kissing
reblogs are appreciated!!
shenhe
“are you alright? your face is heating up.”
“don’t you see what we’re under?” you pointed at the nice mistletoe dangling above you both
shenhe looks up at what you’re pointing at, but she’s still confused. she’s never seen such a thing within her years of mastering adepti art
“what is it?”
“it’s… a mistletoe. when two people are under it, they have to kiss.”
shenhe glances back at you with the same stoic face that’s been plastered on her face the whole conversation
“hm. sounds simple enough.”
your eyes just pop out of their sockets, literally. because not only was she nonchalant about your explanation, she said those words with a straight face.
before you’re able to respond, she pulled you close to her, placed a hand on your cheek, and kissed you. after she released you she went: “so, was that all we had to do?”
poor you, blinking your eyes, and your brain is loading. it didn’t help the sheer embarrassment clearly shown on your face as if it was never said before.
yae miko
“ah, it seems we’ve gotten ourselves into quite the predicament.”
she was looking up at the mistletoe the whole time, while you were shifting uncomfortably in your shoes.
yae miko paused in observing the mistletoe to look at you, she sees your figure sweating bullets.
“oh? are you nervous little one? there’s no need to be afraid.”
you jumped when she was referring to you. snapping you of your countless thoughts plaguing your mind
“i’m sorry, i didn’t think we’d be here of all places. and i wasn’t sure if it’d be okay for-“
“wasn’t sure that i’d be okay for this? my, you amuse me.”
you tilted your head slightly, confused with what she said.
yae miko turned to your direction, her piercing gaze strikes your own. “it’s natural to be nervous over situations such as these, but,”
she leaned down to your level and planted a quick and light kiss on your nose, effectively rendering you speechless
“you should be glad it’s me you’re under this mistletoe with.”
wanderer/scaramouche
he finds it silly for you both to be under a little mistletoe and kiss under it. in his mind, he thinks ‘anywhere else is better than this cramped and narrowed hallway.’ because yk, bro would prefer if the environment is appealing to kiss in. he has standards.
“why the hell would i kiss you under a fucking plant?”
“because it’s tradition??”
“*scoff* a dumb one at that.”
you crossed your arms and looked away from him, not wanting to deal with his bullshit again for the night
he took notice of your behavior though
“huh? why the long face? what, did you think i was serious?”
your eyes shifted towards his direction. “yes..? because you’re always like this.”
“oh, i was serious about the first half.”
you raised your eyebrows. “what do you mean by ‘first half?’”
scaramouche quickly pulled you closer to him which almost made you lose balance, but with his firm hold on you, you didn’t fall.
and with that, he kissed you, for a short while (which felt like forever)
when he lets you of go you, albeit a light and gentle shove, you stumbled back a bit, and shook your head a little in an attempt to process what happened
“i just find it stupid to kiss here of all places. it’d be better if there were people around, so then they’d all know that you belong to me and me only.”
“…” (they were too stunned to speak)
“and if this place was more clean.”
kuki shinobu
in all honesty, the arataki gang pushed her under the mistletoe with you while you were just eating a nice christmas snack and. you weren’t aware of being under it too. head empty just food type beat.
shinobu immediately knew what was going on after she saw the mistletoe. as she was gonna turn around and fist fight the gang, they’ve ran away and hid behind something. their heads were slightly peeking out of them and itto’s head stood out the most
shinobu groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose, and then heard distant cheering from the back, clearly from her gang.
when you swallowed your last bite, you didn’t notice shinobu until now
“oh, hey shinobu! i just finished my snack. what are you doing here?”
she opened her eyes and released her hand off of her nose and pointed above. you followed what she was pointing at and saw the obvious-looking mistletoe hanging above you both before reverting your attention back to her.
“before you say anything, my gang brought us into this mess. so for that, i apologize on their behalf.”
“oh no worries, they always get into some sort of trouble, so i don’t blame you.”
shinobu looked from the corner of her eye and saw her gang whispering the words: ‘go for it!’ ‘do it!’ ‘kiss them!!’
she sighed and then stood up straight, looking directly into your eyes. “well, now that we’re here, i think we should entertain them for a bit. if you’re okay with it of course.”
you turned your head into the direction she was previously looking at and saw her gang. they kept nodding vigorously and made gestures for you to turn back around.
you laughed a bit at them, and you turned back to shinobu. she nodded, you nodded, and then she made her move. shinobu removed her mask to shield her gang from seeing your kiss with her.
the arataki jumped from their spots to cheer and scream for their deputy leader. while a bunch of chaos was happening, that’s all but blind noise. because you’re melting in the kiss.
kazuha
he’d most likely compliment the mistletoe
something along the lines of “such an intricate and well-made mistletoe.” and “its little leaves compliment the red very well.”
like bro stfu and kiss them already, you know the rules. (and so do i)
as kazuha was admiring the mistletoe, he’s sensed you being impatient. (and jealous) so his eyes shifted to your own
“ah, my apologies [name]. i was too focused on this mistletoe hovering above us, that i forgot what we had to do.”
“took you long enough, you think staring up at that mistletoe is more important than me?”
kazuha strutted towards your direction, his scarlet eyes never breaking eye contact with you.
“now, who said that i find mistletoes important to gaze upon?”
he held your hands into his own, intertwining your fingers with his. “they are nothing compared to you, for you are the one i’d love to gaze upon for the rest of my days. my sweet dove.”
his lips pressed against your own, effectively catching you off guard by his boldness. but despite that, your shoulders relaxed, and you’ve let yourself go. to relax yourself in this shared warmth.
kazuha is known to be good with words, but through his current actions, they spoke louder than his flowery words.

🥂🎉End of year statements 2023🎉🥂
Alright so, where do I start. I know you guys are probably reading this and your probably like " omg why is this random girl tagging me in her post"💀😭 sorry if I'm misjudging, but last year I did an end of year statement on my Instagram it was one for editors ( the editing community) , so me and my friends kinda made it a tradition👍🏼😅.
- { Inspiration }
Honestly when I first started this tumblr account I had no intentions of making fanfics or even being " a writer" I had a wattpad account that I ditched because i simply got tired💀 so my friend @slut4milfsss who is no longer active told me she started an account for marilyn Thornhill, where she's gonna be writing fics, and if you can't tell by my name already I love marilyn, so I created an account and decided to support her and then she told me I should start writing, obviously I told her NO, but after I gave it a thought and then I started writing.
Now if you go wayyyyy back to my very first fic to be honest it wasn't that bad💀but it was bad, over time I got better but still😐....When I first started the first three blogs I followed was @regalbootie @daydream-cement and @littledollll and oh. My. GODD everytime I read their fics I felt as if I was in HEAVEN, their so talented and so very well creative and to me they were just perfect writing Gods. Then I followed @cissyenthusiast010155 and @v3nusxsky and I swore I died because again their fanfics were completely amazing and phenomenal and so well put together and it was crazy how realistic the fanfic seemed, it was like they made it come to life and then your imagination does the rest. From theses extraordinary and inpowering writers I found my inspiration to write and for them I'm honestly so thankful because I would have not been writing fics.
Guys I'm so sorry for the random tag, i dont wanna seem creepy 😭. but anyway I love you guys so much and please continue to shine your light and do keep writing because you guys are epic!<3.
Of course then I followed other amazingly talented writers such as @abbyromanoff @brienneoftarth1989 @willalovexx @prentiss-theorem @ilovehugslikealotalot @inlovewithgreta @daddy-heather-dunbar @m1lfsh4ke @m1lflov3rrr @yellowjacketsgayfanfic @agnessharknes @storiesofsvu and honestly the list goes on😮💨 but as we go into this new year I just wanted to show my gratitude for theses writers because they are truly amazing!<3.
Also to @geistergreen and @vivendraws because I love your arts!!! So creative!!
And of course to @resident-lover for blessing us with that scrumptious amazing game of theirs. ( I'm obsessed with Miranda's , Cassandra's and alcinas route)
Alright, moving on.
- { Mutuals }
I have some of the best mutuals on here and I'm so eternally grateful for them, they're so supportive and kind and loving. And I honestly couldn't ask for better friends than them, so I just wanna say thank you to @willalovexx @willowshadenox @prentiss-theorem @luisa323 @ilovehugslikealotalot @tryingmybest233333 @heidsworld @m1lfsh4ke I honestly couldn't be more thankful for you guys, when I get notifications that you liked my post, comment or messaged me I get so happy, you guys are just so cute and adorable and so wholesome, thank you for being by my side and I'm always here if you need me<3
- { account and followers }
I celebrated my first 1 year tumblr account anniversary on the 10th and I honestly couldn't be more grateful to be able to write fanfics for you guys and make content. I get so happy and excited when I see a fanfic requests might I add that you guys are extremely wild with your imagination, because some of the requests I get are beyond amazing and so well put together and well taught of and I'm so happy and grateful that I get to write them for you guys. Just remember all requests are seen and I will do them also about thoses kinkmas requests, i know it's not Christmas anymore but I will still be working on them and I will post them, just give me some time.<3.
When I tell you guys being a badged psychologist is not easy believe me💀the amount of notes is unbelievable sometimes I feel like my hand is gonna drop off because my fingers become sore and I can't even type😐sooo yeah, also I have my office now, honestly so happy!!! Although I'm still majoring in forensic for a couple more years🙄ugh anyways.
I hope you all enjoy your 2024 ( new year ) I hope it's kind to you all, I hope there is a lots of opportunities in store for you guys, love especially, peace and just everything that your hoping and wishing for, goodnight!<3
#announcement#I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL RANDOM TAGS ❗️❤️❤️#fypシ゚viral#HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE#love#fanfic#fanfic writers#writers love#writers post

Having a hell of a day as you know, can I get some New York, Mass and/or Loui fluff that's as angst free as possible pleasee?
MHM MHM MHM YES HERE YA GO :D
Louisiana:
Whenever he hasn’t slept in a while, Maine will quite literally snatch him (he has thought of just pillow-casing this mf) and take him to his and Alaska’s house and they’ll both cuddle him. And Louisiana just accepts it cuz he isn’t strong enough to escape either of them, and especially not both of them.
He has just- full on bodyslamed his friends and brothers and hugged them till they couldn’t breathe
The human(?) equivalent to a puppy
^Especially with the look in his face when someone he loves comes home or enters the same room 😭💙
^If he has his tail out, it is 10000000000% wagging at the speed of light
I feel like he is a really good listener and gives great advice if you need it
New York:
Idk why, but I feel like he cannot tell his left and rights. Am I projecting? MMMMMM QUITE POSSIBLY SHUSH YOU-
He’s also a really good listener but he’s not as good when it comes to advice. Again me projecting? MAYBE-
You don’t have to tell him if you’re sad. He just. He knows. How he knows? Idk he’s got some mind reading type power 😭
^He will just sneak up on you, and if you catch him, he’ll just simply do what he was gonna do in the first place: curl up on your lap and cuddle the sadness out you. He’ll even purr when he cuddles you 😭 Yorkie cuddles make everything better, 5 star rating from literally the entire statehouse.
Has bought and made band tee shirts for all his pets. It’s the most adorable thing ever. Even his pigeons and rats have Queen and AC/DC and Led Zeppelin merch.
Despite basically being a cat/vampire (every gacha oc in 2018 be like:), he actually loves swimming and is surprisingly good at it (I hc him to be either part of the Navy or Coast Guard so- he kinda has to know how to swim-). BUT IF YOU PICK HIM UP AND THROW HIM INTO A BODY OF WATER, EVEN A BATHTUB, HES GOING TO STAB AND SCRATCH YOU IN VARIOUS BODILY REGIONS. UNASHAMEDLY TOO.
Massachusetts:
Actually really good at digital art. He’s good at traditional art to, but prefers digital art (him, upon discovering digital art: "IT HAS A MOTHA-F(SPEAKS BOSTON)KIN’ UNDO BUTTON 🥹🥹")
He lovessss taking long walks outside, especially on the beach at sunset. Has gotten plenty of drawing inspiration from the sunsets and the beach <3
He also really loves plants and nature. Granted, not as much as NJ, but pretty close. He won’t admit it though cuz he’s a stubborn bastard. We love him though :3
Mass gives the vibes of someone that’s really good at bass guitar and drums
I like to imagine that whenever he takes his hat off, his hair falls in front of his face and temporarily blocks his vision. Penn and Ginny love making fun of him for it <3
Hope these are fluffy enough I tried to add no angst, but my finger mighta slipped somewhere idk <3
#welcome to the table#welcome to the statehouse#ben brainard#wttt#wttsh#wttt louisiana#wttsh louisiana#wttt new york#wttsh new york#wttt massachusetts#wttsh massachusetts#my boysssss <3

I have a very VERY inconsistent artstyle, and also I don't have an official watermark yet so to recognize it there will always be a 'fae' or 'faefae'
I mostly do traditional art and the re-touch it again digitally, how my art looks depends of which paper I used. For example :
This one, I used a much smoother paper but I colored the same way I did before. But I retouched some of the colors I deemed could be better. I also added some overlay colors so that he looks more in love & warm lols.
For this one, I used a more rough paper. I retouched the anatomy in digital because I didn't really plan this piece (unfortunately I rarely plan my art so there's this 50/50 chances in getting good art 💀)
Most of my piece use 'faefae' but ig I forgot when I drew drunk-inlove-cm mb.
Why did I suddenly explain this? No reason at all. I just feel like I need to because I understand how inconsistent my style is 😭 (I want to sometimes explain my process so maybe I'll be doing this rarely :D)

Yssaia
⚜️NaNoWriMo WIP 2024⚜️
"All promised heroes burn. Who are they now?"
In a world of fated heroes and abyssal machines -- born both of Kings and Philosophy --, a burned assassin girl must find new purpose when the War ends.
Untitled Yssaia Game will someday become a narrative-focused, hand-drawn adventure. Navigate an assassin through her delicate, brutal world after the War annexed her homeland. Delve deep into political dealings, your past trauma, and the Abyss beneath the world.
...but for today, it's still just a very large Reedsy document, some art, and a handful of songs.
🏆THE CHALLENGE'S OBJECTIVE🏆
This NaNoWriMo, I just want to write every day. I don't have the time or breakneck pace to do the traditional 50k words. I also want to log my progress cuz every year, I don't journal as much as I should and every year, I regret that. My memory and sense of time is better when I journal. So, we gotta get back into it, once again.
In terms of my current progress, there are about 245k words in this wip -- though it has multiple story arcs. We'll see what the market says to do with it, as we get closer to video game form... I have done a round or two of editing maybe? It doesn't feel like it but I also spent since February of last year editing. I thought it was going to take a month. It did not. 😭😭😭 Now, I am back to drafting -- thank God. Right now, I'm drafting a story arc about my protagonist struggling with her new relationships, falling into old toxic patterns, and discovering the enemies of her enemies -- the Gods.
🧑🧑🧒CHARACTERS🧑🧑🧒
Yssaia is multi-POV and has a lot of perspectives with unequal time. If I were a perfect creator, I'd give them increasingly equal time throughout the work -- and end the story with characters taking turns between paragraphs in the battle against the Gods. This is all part of a giant experiment in which I fight against Great Man History. We'll see if it works lol cuz it sounds insane but that's legitimately why I'm showing so many different perspectives.
Naturally, there are many more characters and POVs than the ones pictured here.
The characters all have a lot of anime influence -- not just in their visual language, but also in their characterization -- but they also take a lot of influence from those Literary Fiction short stories I had to read in college. They're all written in a retrospective first person and verb all their nouns and have some sort of linguistic quirk for their POV. I mean like "One POV has 2nd person" kind of quirk. I love playing with form. I don't WANT you to feel like my work is super easy to read -- I want you to THINK about it.
🌩THE GODS OF YSSAIA🌬
The currently fighting Gods of Yssaia are basically representing Connection, Conquest, and Despair. Something something thematic arguments for a modern age but ALSO "use the power of friendship to kill God." The Gods all have what I like to call "humansonas" (think like the Christian Jesus) whom are represented below:
🗺THE WORLDBUILDING🗺
I have been working on Yssaia since 2018, so the worldbuilding has only gotten deeper and deeper. While the shape of the world and the general cultures have remained the same, they've all gotten a lot more nuance and geographical fidelity and also, conlangs: I have conlangs for every culture in the language and I'm very proud because language and power is one of the themes I like to play with. Yes, that's an IB thing. If you're interested in worldbuilding or conlanging, I actually run a worldbuilding YouTube channel so come check it out.
But if I had to summarize it, my world building is "Fantasy 1880s-1910s with a melancholic but whimsical feel and cute eldritch horrors. All the cultures are a mixture between Asian and Western cultures" (like Chinese Vikings, Japanese French-Mafias, Communist Grecoromans, and Slavic Indians, etc.) I have endeavored to ensure there is something about each culture that is "my favorite" -- ama about my worldbuilding 🥺💜
Follow for Part 2, when I talk about the game design someday!

Gonna complain to you cause I need to complain to someone about it even if you disagree. I kind of hope totk is the last zelda game. I love the series, I could tell you every piece of information about every game and the 80s TV show. I've played and beaten every game (except totk because I got it late and im getting everything done before I progress). I dont like that they're changing the formula of the game. Why change something that makes the game what it is? It was just a ploy to get new fans but like?? I loved zelda because of what it was and now they're just rewriting it?????? I didn't like botw all that much honestly, I didn't like being told a story rather than experiencing it. It never felt like a zelda game to me totk is better so far but it's still just, if it's not broke, don't fix it. Yet they tried to fix something that wasn't broken. It's upsetting to me.
Wow first of all what an honour to still be the one stop shop for botw hate. I absolutely know what you're saying and I have battled despising botw for what it is for 6 years. They took all the Zelda conventions from us and left no scraps, not even an iconic boss redesign. No music scraps, nada. But I am learning to appreciate that it really was Game of the Year and it deserved the praise it got, but at what cost 😭 I think after straying so far from a traditional Zelda game, it means that at some point they are going to deliver an iconic traditional game that rocks us to our core. And it's worth noting that they have to move away from botw completely now. It's like OoT and MM - after that, Wind Waker was born. They will change the art direction, the gameplay, the story, the characterisation....so even though I know we will most likely never get what we had back, at least it will always be new.
I also completely get what you mean by being told a story rather than experiencing it. My girlfriend and I joked that the cutscenes were like watching TV cuz it's completely disengaged from what I am doing in the gameplay. I always had a criticism that for twilight princess, it's midna that confronts ganondorf and it's all her motivations which lead up to the final fight, but I also learned to appreciate that Link was just a pawn in the game. Like that was Midnas story and her fight, much like botw/totk seems to mainly revolve around Zelda. But at least Midna and Link are interacting the whole entire game. And also midna is gay to me so I love her regardless
Well after writing this I can very much see there are two wolves inside of me - botw hater and botw apologist. Feel free to always vent in my inbox, its a botw hate safe place.
I hope you're enjoying totk a lot more. I thought the first half of the game was SOOOOO good and the second half needed some story improvement, but the final boss and cutscene??? absolutely worth it!!!!! good luck out there <3
#look i dont want to say i never want another zelda game#i think it can be redeemed#and as long as they keep making link more and more lgbt i am appeased#id do a readmore everyone but im on mobile and idk how

SERIOUSLY YOUR RENDERING IS TOP TIER!! SHARE TIPS PLEASE 😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶🫶
Hello! Thank you very much!
I'll take this opportunity to talk about AI.
I'll take this opportunity to talk about artificial intelligence. In fact, the topic of AI is very exciting for me. And if I have decided for myself that I will perceive it as a new tool for studying and creating art, then I want to know your opinion and tell you how it works for me. If you want a short, clear answer about rendering that works for me, then I'm learning a lot about artificial intelligence right now.
This is a new territory in the art world. Of course, it won't draw an order for me. It's not as simple as many people might imagine. It doesn't work in a way that it fulfills my requirements and draws for me. Ha-ha, no. At least now it's not possible or I just don't know it. I do everything: base, outline, colors, light and shadow, etc. I see how it processes the image and some part of the rendered result may be useful and I will use it for myself.
But! Without the necessary artistic knowledge, none of this will work. I know the basics of art, I work hard on each illustration and practice a lot and keep improving my knowledge without stopping. Artificial intelligence will not be able to realize a specific idea, let alone do it well. And if anyone knows how this is possible, please share this knowledge with me. And even then, I will move on and look for ways to use it to advantage.
Now the problem with artificial intelligence is that it uses the work of authors without their permission. Is it terrible? Yes. Is there a solution? Of course there is. That's why some developers are already buying permissions to use drawings. The world is taking a step forward and this cannot be changed. This does not devalue art. It does not destroy traditional drawing methods or original styles of authors. It covers a slightly different area.
What did this short "collaboration" with AI give me? I worked a lot with my weakness - color, I got more opportunities to analyze and improved my skills in drawing fabrics, shapes, soft contours... I'm no longer afraid to play with the contour. And I already have some ideas of how I would like to try to draw it differently. I feel freer. I am developing and trying to improve my drawings so that you can get better results.
Although I keep thinking that someday I will go back to a simpler drawing style. Manga/manhwa occupy a huge part of my heart and maybe someday I will decide to work in this direction too. And drawing with traditional materials, as well as teaching it to others, has been and will remain my own therapy. I will never give it up. And I am already interested to see how digital has influenced my technique even here.
Please share your opinion, it is very important to me! And I'm ready for conversations and discussions. Thank you for your question and sorry if you were expecting something else! But I'd be happy if you try it and see something new for yourself. Whether you like it or not, it's a new practice! I wish you success and good mood!

SPACE FOLKS
(This is me btw)
Hey y’all, so I’ve been through my shit recently ♥️but today I found out the reason why my tablet wasn’t sending art into my drive is because the date was set to 01/01/2013😭so i fixed it and it worked. So now I can upload my art!!! I really wanna try to develop my art more and post on here♥️ anyways here’s my art drop plus lore♥️♥️
Cardeygene- The last member of the MassaCarge Wolfe Tribe
 born from a tribe which was hunted down by a mysterious group , Cardeygene(CAR-DEH-GIN),nicknamed Recco(RESSE-O), is a mesoamerican young man from the planet Ruffsawr(ROOF-SAW)He is incredibly shy and keeps to himself unless his art is involved. He lives for color in a bleak space world and loves his heritage, using it in his art whenever he can. When he was found by the mercenary ninja, Rai-Z, he was chained to a part of a spirit, in his tribe called a CussKi(COO-SS-KEY), that itself is a part of the body of the ancient, a being that was said to watch over the cosmos. This CussKi is named Bamar(BI-MAR) roughly translating to “Head of the ancient”. Bamar is a rough CussKi that watches over Recco and whenever Recco needs to fight, Bamar takes over and causes Recco to use his wolf powers, part of his heritage bloodline. They love each other like a father and son, but even the closest family holds dark secrets…..
He’s deeply in love with all on the God Fallenher and all love him, seeing him as a young brother. He is the second youngest squad member at 17.
Kiara Zarnfiy- Scientist of the modern age
A young woman, only 15. She works for her sister on the spaceship, God Fallenher. She is a prodigy of medical science . She’s trusty and always willing to help others even if it means she would be hurt in the end. She wants to please her older sister and be a better fighter overall, as she barely contributes to combat. She’s also obsessed with earth culture, specifically a mix between Egyptian, 2010’s and South Asian cultures and traditions. She researches these things constantly. So much so she made her hair look like the ears of an Egyptian cat and decorated it with 2010’s scene culture colors. It’s hard for her to always fit the uniforms the ship and shipping companies give so she modified her outfit to suit her and her taste. If any ship inspector confronts her on it, her left sis,Menshina, blows them up! Non-lethally of course. That usually shuts them up! Her and menshina actually didn’t grow up together. Their mom broke up with their dad and got remarried. The mom took Menshina while she stayed with her dad. Kaira was only 2 when this happened and didn’t see her older sister for many years. They met again when she was 13 and Menshina was 20. Menshina missed her sister secretly and so gave her the job as the ship’s scientific director before realizing she was way over qualified!
Menshina OwalaTon- Head Captain of the GSS God Fallerher
Menshina may seem girly, but don’t let that fool you! She’s actually a trained assassin who worked under Zento Rah-sharguri, Rai-Z’s Father. She kills others for sport using her bands! Confused? Her odd white wristbands actually act as an incense, attracting wild beasts all over the cosmos to her, which then she traps and uses as weapons of mass destruction….or as a comfy seat. Menshina was originally born from the Zarnify Family, a group of beast tamers for circuses, which many believe may have helped her pull off her tricks. She’s very private to all except her young sister, Kaira. Menshina may tease her about never reaching the standards she sees for her, but Menshina sees Kaira as a formidable partner who can do so much more if she only believed she could. She’s sees her younger self in her. She also sees her mother, original captain of the God Fallenher, within her, a strong leader. Menshina clads herself in red to remind others that she’s seen blood and will never be afraid to spill some if the time calls for it. She also wears it to mimic The Red Saturn, a mysterious killer who slaughtered 27 ships in 1 night a long time ago. She may seem heartless or even cruel, but she cares for those she sees as friends. She puts sparks of color in her hair as a reminder of her love for others, as they reference her sister and her love for colors.
These are the current characters in my little art piece, more may come soon!

Arcane Background Lore/Easter Eggs (Episode 8)
oTwo more episodes to go folks! Oh, and overnight I went back and editied some of the older posts to better align with what we now know about the story.
I’m like 95% sure this is supposed to be an Ionian throne room, the snaking tree structures seen in the foreground and far background are very classical Ionian. Ionia (aka. the First Lands) is an archipelago located due east of the Noxian coast, who didn’t really have much experience with war and as such were utterly crushed when Noxus came to colonize them.
Oh boy we really are starting out right out with the Silvio Pepe moments. See that sigil on Mel’s chest? That’s is a symbol of the Solari tribe, and I have no idea why Mel is wearing it.
The solari are the biggest, and most militarized of the Rakkor tribes – the people who live on and around Mount Targon. They are highly religious, deeply hostile to outsiders, and importantly: NOWHERE NEAR NOXIAN TERRITORIES. Mel is in that outfit loudly advertising her membership of a religious order most Noxians wouldn’t even have heard of; the only explanation I can think of is that Mel herself has Rakkor ancestry (maybe from her dad?), and this is a way for her to connect to that part of her culture? We’ll have to wait for season 2 (or Mel getting added to League) to find out.
Now that the idea of Mel having Solari heritage has been planted, I can’t help but notice that her golden tattoos look very similar to those worn by a lot of Solari. (Shown below.)
However the traditional circular patterns have been replaced with a Piltover-esque art deco motiff.
The man who killed Kino Medarda and now has it out for the rest of the clan could be any number of people, but my first thought is that its probably Jericho Swain. At this point in the timeline, Ionia are either about to, or have recently reclaimed their independence from Noxus; and Swain is using their defeat to the Ionian to drum up support from the army in order to stage a coup. In the flashback we learned that Kino was a rare voice of peace among Noxian nobility, so it would make sense that Swain would want to get rid of him as he’s rallying soldiers with promises of retaking Ionia (which he won’t succeed in by the way, there’s a knife lesbian in the way).
The scene of Heimerdinger finding Ekko’s skateboard is a reference to the “True Genius” trailer, where Ekko uses a hex gem to create a not-quite, but almost flying skateboard, which Heimerdinger later finds and refines.
Technically it’s just: “Cecil B. Heimerdinger” now.
So, I’m not here to argue Sky didn’t get fridged, she 100% did. What might interest you to know is that: Somewhere in the Noxian country side, there is a hidden academy, where a young girl named Rell is having runes carved into her skin that without her knowledge is draining the souls of her classmate in an effort to make her the most powerful mage to have ever lived. The point is, Sky might not be dead dead, her soul may be trapped inside the runes on Viktor’s body. So yes, still fridged.
In League, the hex core is generally presented as pure, rational technology. This is not that… Going off the mix of organic and metallic bits, as well as irregularly shaped glowing holes, this is void magic. Void magic IS VERY VERY BAD. If it wasn’t clear from the scene already, Viktor has absolutely stuck his dick in the blender on this one.
The suits Silco’s shock troopers wear are clearly based on the “Turbo Chemtank” item from League (which I couldn’t find a high res picture of 😭). In League chemtank makes you harder to kill and you can activate it to temporarily GO REAL HECKING FAST.
This goon just experienced the quintessential “fighting against Vi in League” experience: Suddenly, there’s a punchy lesbian and then you die.
Jayce uses some version of most of his League abilities in the fight against Silco’s goon, problem is he’s got like 8 billion of them so I’m gonna run through them quickly. Above screenshot is a reference to his “thundering blow” ability, which sends an enemy flying with a burst of lightning.
This is his “Lightning Field” ability, it creates a field of lightning. It’s yellow because... I dunno it’s yellow in League 🤷♀️.
This is a two for one. First Jayce’s uses his stance change ability to switch his weapon from hammer mode to cannon mode. Then he uses his “Shock Blast” ability, which shoots a ball of electricity out that has a near supernatural ability to always hit MY BISEXUAL ASS no matter how much cover and other potential targets I put in the way.
Also, This is Vi’s signature “Vault Breaker” ability, it does more or less what you see here: she charges up her fist and then punches very hard. Though in game she kinda goes flying with her fist ahead of her, which looks goofy AF.
Circling back to Swain for my daily dose of shoehorning in a character who won’t appear in Arcane: This is Irelia Xan, Ionian revolutionary, decolonization queen, and in dire need of being hit with the same lesbianizer they got Vi with. At the age of 14, while being held prisoner, told Swain to fuck off out of her lands, then chopped his arm. A general theme with Noxus is them horribly underestimating just how angry a teenage girl can get.
If there’s anything I missed please let me know, I’m planning to do a breakdown like this for each episode.

OC Introduction! (Finally Updated!)
(they look so white in this pic bc i don't have my crayola skin tone pencils on me, they're supposed to be way darker i'm sorry... also tap pics for better quality bc they look like shit rn)
On the left is my new oc, Kijō Hikigenma. She's got a bit of an attitude, and isn't afraid to say how she feels, but she can be nice on the inside. You just have to get through all of the edge first. She's difficult to make friends with, but that's just what makes her special.
On the right is my main oc, Tsubaki Yoru. She's outgoing and energetic, and loves to brighten up people's days, although she has issues when it comes to expressing herself properly. She can be easily angered and is afraid of change. Her appearance is plain, but just unique enough to make it weird that she sometimes shows up in other universes, as if she has doppelgangers. Oh well, it's probably just a coincidence. 😶
Other socials:
♧ my @ is hikki892 on tiktok, i don't post much on there, though other than a few silly vids ♧
If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Enjoy the rest of my blog. :)
