WIP of WoW NPC - Gamon I’m currently working on.

My hubby loves to play, and I’ve been wanting to give some of the NPCs with cool stories a lil character art.

So in between merch work for the upcoming cons I’m attending, and finishing up some other projects, this is me de-stressing with beefy bois 🫠

I’M BACK BITCHEEEEEES!!!

Tiny paint brusssshhhhhhhh!

Here I am painting until my replacement comes in, but let's gooooooo!

Her chiffon summer dress gently moved in the breeze like a ripple in the water's surface. The fabric was foreign to him, the brightly painted flowers more vibrant than many silk painters could ever achieve.

She waved him over, "Come here a second, would ya?"

He stood at her side as she held his arm to balance as she unclasped her summer sandles. He raised the arm she held onto, to her back. Not making contact, but there just in case should she teeter too far backwards.

It was when she shifted to the other foot that she did indeed teeter. Not backwards, however, face first to the ground. He lurched forward, catching her. Only to also be pulled to the lush green grass of summer.

She laughed nervously, about to apologize about her plights with gravity.

However, her words caught in her throat at the sight of him. He'd ensured that'd she'd not come to harm, his arm catching behind her head. Even his great pelt was cushioned under her. His hand firmly on her hip, "Tell this one next time you should need to rest."

She blushed madly, "I wasn't trying-"

"To woo this one," he scoffed, "I have my doubts."

She felt the heat in her cheeks, "You're so full of it!"

"Doubts," he queried, then nodding, "Indeed."

Her thoughts stilled a moment, "Why would I need to 'woo' you if you agreed to go on a date with me?"

He seemed to mull over this a moment, "Hmm, indeed."

The stickers have arrived!

I love them so much, and they're so sturdy!

They'll be for sale through my Ko-Fi and Etsy!

[yumanichan]

I've opened up commissions!

Both fanart and OC's are welcome.

Take a look on my Ko-Fi!

Fanart for Fanfics!

Also, since last time I had quite a few comms for fanfics, I've given them their own category!

This means I'll calculate in more time to talk through the scene and read (part) of the fic to understand better how it could be portrayed in a drawing. I pay a lot of attention to details and show you more of the progress so I can make adjustments on the go!

My ask box is open if you have any questions!

Commission me!

This is also great stuff for artists!!

Archery information for writers that no one asked for but probably some of you need and I like talking about archery, so here it is.

when you put an arrow on the string, the verb is called “nocking” i.e. eyes glued on the target, he nocked the arrow

also the part of the arrow that gets put onto the string is called the nock. depending on the type of arrow this can be a piece of plastic glued into the arrow, or with wood or bamboo arrows it can be carved into the shaft of the arrow itself

you do not close an eye when aiming or shooting; you see better with both eyes open.

everyone has a dominant eye that more naturally your brain focuses with. that determines whether you are right or left handed when shooting, and doesn’t necessarily correlate to whether the person is right or left handed in anything else

so if you’re writing a character who has difficulty seeing out of one eye, take that into account when they are shooting

if they are right eye dominant, they hold the bow with their left hand and draw the string with their right. if they are left eye dominant, they hold the bow with their right hand and draw the string with their left

if they shoot left, the quiver sits on their left side/hip/thigh. shoot right - right side quiver.

there are several different ways to draw, if you are writing something historical or in a specific region, then do research on that style of archery. but for a generic place to start that is a more universal way of drawing a bow, here are some things to include

the chin stays down. raising your chin will fuck up your aim

the pointer finger on your draw hand rests on the side of your chin/jaw, and the string of the bow will touch the tip of the archer’s nose

weight is on the balls of your feet, leaning slightly forward off your heels

if it is an older bow/barebow, there is not usually a place for the arrow to rest on the bow. this means the arrow rests on the archer’s hand. if they are not wearing a glove on that hand, the fletchings (that’s the feathers on the arrow) will more than likely slice their hand when firing. this scars.

so if you’re wanting to describe someone observing and archer’s hands (hands are hot, don’t @ me) they would see a silver scar about halfway between the pointer finger knuckle and palm of the person’s hand. (turn your hand vertical and trace down the length of your pointer toward your thumb and stop next to the knuckle. that spot there.)

most archers wear something to protect their fingers on the hand that draws the bow. even with that, they have callouses. without it, a lot of callouses, scars, and blisters.

most common draw uses three fingers on the string: pointer, middle, ring. the arrow sits between the pointer and middle. just like where the draw point is, this is not universal and do research if you’re doing something culturally important.

barebow means that the bow is bare of any instruments. no sight, no weights, etc. the most basic/traditional form of bow

a recurve bow is anything where the tips of the bow curve back around forward, away from the archer

a compound is what you think of as a modern hunting bow, and is recognisable by having wheels at the ends and three strings

arrows have three fletchings that form a triangle, the point faces the archer so that the flat of the arrow will pass the flat of the bow on release. the arrow sits on the side of the bow facing the archer

archers with a larger/raised chest will sometimes where a chest protect so that the string does not catch when firing (this is regardless of gender, i know several cis-men who need it as well)

string can also catch on the forearm that is holding the bow and creates bruises and welts if you don’t wear a protector. modern ones are small plastic and cover just the spot, with elastic holding it in place. traditional ones are leather and wrap all the way around, lacing up on the back of your arm like a corset.

there is literally so much more, but i feel like this is plenty to get you started, and as always, feel free to drop an ask in my box if you need something more!

Yesterday’s warm up sketch,

featuring a little roughed up Sesshoumaru.

(And a funky sword because I couldn’t remember how to draw Bakusaiga 🥹)

[yumanichan]

OHMYGOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

I love the pacing of the story and their dynamic is awesome!

Thank you so much for this awesome gift!!!🥰🥰

Hi @yumanichan 👋 I'm your Secret Santa! This is baby's first SessKag fic ever (it's me, I'm baby) but I really, really hope you enjoy.

Endless thanks to @sereia1313 for being kind enough to look over the first half (it's all I gave her, which is my fault, and she made the first 50% a billion times better). Her encouragement was greatly needed and thus, greatly appreciated. Thank you darling.

Huge shoutout to @inusecretsanta for running this again and always being so brilliant.

For Your Attention

Pairing: SessKag

Rated: T

Summary:

“Is this everything?”

“So far.” Kagome raises a brow, smile turning secretive. “I’ve flagged the usual issues Inuyasha tends to focus on operationally. If you have any questions, just let me know.” With that said, she shuts her laptop and stands up. “Any other questions?”

This meeting is, for lack of a better word, flummoxing. “It’s usually the other way around.”

“That’s not my experience,” Kagome laughs. There’s something cheeky to it, made even more playful as she leans on the boardroom table and says, conspiratorially, “Welcome to Inuyasha’s life.”

Sesshomaru doesn’t even know what that means.

OR: Five times Kagome attempts to court Sesshomaru, plus the one time he successfully courts her back.

Baby Tomoe in a socks…. Kawaii!! 😘 😘

[yumanichan]

look…………….. write as much shitty fic as you want. nobody can stop you. you’re learning constantly and it’s better to write hackneyed implausible ridiculousness than it is to not write at all out of fear of fucking up. you’re good

[yumanichan]

🎅🎄Happy Holidays🎄

@gaykagome (it won’t let me tag you for some reason..)

I was your Secret Santa this year!

I hope you like this domestic moment between Inuyasha and Kouga!

There is also a second part which I upload a little later, as it wasn’t planned to be included here but I ended up liking it a lot 😅

Thank you @inusecretsanta for organizing this event!

My #1 post of 2022

So, I know I mostly post IY/SessKag related art. But I couldn’t resist these two!

I’ve never played any of the Zelda games (really need to get that Switch one day) but I’ve always liked the lore and world building of it.

I hope you enjoy this Link x Zelda art I had to get out of my system.
