yandere!Jax with gender-neutral!magician!reader headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warnings: obsessive behavior, implied bullying, spoilers for the pilot episode.
There may also be possible triggers in this story.
If you do not feel comfortable venturing any further, please hit the 'back' button on your mobile device or computer and read something much more pleasant than a possible series of unfortunate events.
You are responsible for your own Internet consumption!
Hey guys and welcome to my very first fic for the indie animation that has shaken up Youtube, The Amazing Digital Circus! If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it! :) Special thanks to @ceoofdabicorpsensfw for helping me figure out characterization and with a few scenes I was struggling with in this new writing style I am trying out. If you would like me to write more TADC content on here or on my other blog @an-idyllic-novelist please let me know!
So with that being said, sit back, relax, and let's see what's going today in the digital plane! :)
Whenever someone new arrives at the Amazing Digital Circus, it would fall on either Ragatha or Alakazam to get them all sorted out before they start to lose their mind. Alakazam, of course, would be Caine’s reference to you. You couldn’t remember your name and the ringmaster needed a magician. Tit for tat as they say, right?
The daily adventures around the digital plane provide stimulation and prevent everyone from losing what remaining insanity you all had left, especially since you couldn’t eat or sleep. A routine is also very good too, as you have suggested to Pomni. But she still insists on finding an exit. Just like what you all have tried to do when you first came here.
If there is one person who is seemingly unaffected by the situation, you would have to say it would be Jax. Either that, or the purple-furred rabbit just didn’t give a shit so long as he got some fun out of it. The guy’s existence would have been obsolete ages ago if he didn’t insult Kingler or ‘accidentally’ broke Gangle’s comedy mask for the nth time, which would lead you or Ragatha to calm her down long enough for it to be properly fixed for the next adventure.
What you did not realize, however, was that the pranks Jax pulled on you were actually much tamer compared to what he did to everyone else. Especially when one of them was getting more attention from you than he was receiving.
After all, there’s nowhere else in this place who can keep up with his sass and jokes and not get so bent out of shape over something small like popping a balloon right next to your ear. Maybe Ragatha, but she’s so boring~.
Not only would Jax be a possessive yandere who can get jealous easily, he’s also curious. He wants to know everything about you, down to the smallest detail about what you did today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday. Don’t be surprised if one of your items goes missing, only to have it suddenly turn up the following day. Actually, you might not wanna know why Jax took it and what he even did with it. If he took your journal or your playing cards, the last remaining building blocks of your sanity in this place…well, you must have done something to really piss him off.
Who knows? Maybe if you gave him the attention he craved for and even participated in a well-meaning, harmless prank, Jax might leave a love letter on your bed, written with a [Favorite Color] crayon inside the shape of a purple heart.
If you had a really bad day that led to your abstraction, Jax would also go insane. Because losing his darling, the most important person in his life, would finally push this childish jackass to his breaking point and just…let it go.

✧ ۫ 𑄼ల۫  ۪ DEC 11TH — WARMING YOU UP
Tumblr media
featuring: ayaka, beidou, columbina, kokomi, ganyu, mona, yae miko, lisa x fem! reader
warnings: nsfw, cunnilingus, fingering n all that other good stuff ໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -。꒱ྀི১ | event.
Tumblr media
✧ 𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐊𝐀
your warm hands are branding ayaka's stomach, playfully squeezing and fondling her belly while pleasuring her with your spit covered tongue.
how lucky you were to see her sugary sweet smile and listen to the tiny cries of your name, your heart blooming with pure bliss. Your tongue was reaching within her hole to roughly tongue fuck her into the mattress, her hands dragging into your scalp to keep you lowered while also additionally grinding her hips on you.
"not yet."
you're teasing and rubbing her fiercely with your thumb now, her mewls turning more erratic and hitched. The dedication ayaka had to please you was alluring, ravishing and only made you crave her more than ever before.
with her sweet essence always melting perfectly on your tongue, not to mention how she tasted so overly good while still being coated with the natural bitterness had you moan shamelessly into your cunt, truly.
"I-i am trying, i'm trying so hard for you."
it surprised you that your girlfriend even managed to voice something in the first place with her lower lip trembling and captured in between her teeth.
her facial features were utterly mesmerizing, but how pretty her pussy looked was even all the more appealing to you. Her normally pale skin held onto a red color, her sloppy folds being swollen and fading in a sickly pleasant pink, what a sight.
you brought your attention back to your tongue, parting her spasming folds with your fingers to reach within, the tip of your wet muscle carefully gliding over her sensitivity which caught her off guard, her head abruptly thrown back to whine out desperately.
and after that, the next sounds ayaka gifted you with showed you her growing desperation.
✧ 𝐁𝐄𝐈𝐃𝐎𝐔
the charming, almost confusing, state your mind would dwell in whenever beidou entrapped your body was heart staggering.
"you're doing too much again."
you faked a complain, her body on you was so warm, her sharp teeth flashing you underneath her plump, kissable lips as she let you swallow her fingers naturally.
"come on, don't be like that."
with your breasts tightly pressed against her own you whined at the friction of her nipples brushing your skin, how her graceful digits immediately found the main spot in your aching core.
"care to keep going regardless?"
beidou already was aware, she knew your answer yet she still needed to ask, wanted to make sure that you are comfortable with being overstimulated by her.
"of course." you weakly mewled with lidded eyes, your almost pathetic response laced with heavy pants being pure divine in her ears, your voice truly dripped down on her like the most delightful, sweet honeyed candy in teyvat.
"knew it."
it's warmer now, beidou added another finger and your insides were perceiving it, you felt full, stuffed yet still tight, so unbelievable tight, she felt as if you were about to swallow her whole.
the stretching of your pretty pussy made you arch your spine into her with her entrancing breasts sticking on your chest further, your mouth salivating on sight.
✧ 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐍𝐀
"aww! i love the reaction you're making!"
you truly were columbina's favorite precious toy, her tiny hands were almost unable to keep themselves from touching you, always kneading and twiddling your soft breasts she very much found beguiling.
"hmm." accompanied by her pseudo innocent hums, she displayed a somewhat innocent facial expression, her head tilted to the side with her brows slightly scrunched together in thought.
"i wonder what would happen if i do this."
her playing with you always consisted in columbina trying out new things, whether it was bringing you on the edge over and over again, or simply not making you cum for hours until she decided that yes, it might be the time for you to release now.
with her thumb and pointer finger twirling your stinging nipple you let out a choked moan through a cry. The naivety and trust you held towards her was quite charming in her eyes, she adored seeing you like this.
with a husky breath, she quickly lowered her head on your chest while prodding her tongue out, licking around the entirety of her lips to have herself properly wet as she swallowed your nipple in a heart beat.
experiencing a feeling like that had you on the brink of passing out when you perceived sloppy suckling on your bundle, the sensitivity spreading over the entirety of your tit as you couldn't control yourself anymore, shameless moans mixing with the cold air of the bedroom.
columbina closed her eyes, ruthlessly digging and flicking her skilled tongue on your perked up bud, no mercy, no nothing, only another confirmation in her mind being crossed out on what would made you succumb to her.
✧ 𝐊𝐎𝐊𝐎𝐌𝐈
"turn around for me."
there was something especially alluring to kokomi whenever you demanded things from her, whenever she let the choice to you without her actually having to do much.
don't get her wrong though, kokomi adored being in control, a lot of times it would be her towering over you right now, with a salivating look on her entrancing face only you would be able to satisfy.
with her bare behind on full display, you motioned her ass up so it'd be held up lightly, her glistering folds greeting you as you playfully decided to rub one finger within it, waiting for a precious, sweet sound she always would gift you with.
how dearly kokomi wanted to see that sickeningly sweet smirk decorating your overly tasteful lips, but what she desired even more was for you to place those lips on her aching core, which you then, of course, did.
as always, you proceeded slowly, drinking in both her slimy essence and tiny pleas, her drooling juices staining your chin, the amount of wetness she had on herself swelled a deep sense of pride within the pit of your stomach.
"just like that, y-you're so good to me."
to even admit that to you right know, how sexy she could be was beyond you, you were very much aware that she was extremely delicate tonight, sensitive and aching for a release from you.
your hands tightly held over her ass to squeeze and knead the bouncy flesh while drawing each stroke of your sloppy tongue carefully, easy, awakening a sharp impatience in between kokomi's legs at last.
✧ 𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐔
whenever ganyu and you got intimate, you made it a habit to turn your usually quiet and reserved girlfriend into a drooling little mess and how else could you achieve that result any better with your pretty pussy rubbing her own.
it might be one of her favorite positions you'd squeeze her in, ganyu was thankful you let her be your cute, little princess while you did most of the work and brought her to an intense release she might not recover right away.
"how does that feel? tell me."
your little laughter turned her on, almost as much as your wet folds grinding on her tingling cunt. Your fingers wandered higher as well, grabbing one of her spilled out breasts to roughly massage them underneath your warm palm.
"it f-feels good, it always feels good." ganyu was extremely sensitive, it would never take her long until her eyes would dwell up with happy tears, sinful sobs she let you fully drink in.
"don't look at me!"
her voice was distant, barely to be perceived as an embarrassing redness crawled up her wet cheeks, ganyu still wasn't quite accustomed to you looking at her while she got pleasured by you, while she was splayed out bare for you with her cute, pink pussy being opened and drenched in slick.
"but you're so pretty right now."
with that, you lowered your hand back on her lower stomach to rub the rough pad of your thumb over her aching clit while simultaneously smoothening your soaked cunt on her, your liquids melting on each other and slicking up the entirety of your stomach and thighs.
✧ 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐀
it can happen rather often for mona and you to be too tired to even get up and do something together, go out or meet friends whatsoever.
but as luck would have it, something she'd never be satiated on would be to lazily scissor you even though she'd be rather tired.
you were so squishy and wet around her slim fingers, how you drenched them thoroughly upon a couple of drags of her in you.
mona fingernails weren't the longest but you still could clearly discern them around your velvety walls, how she poked against your lovely insides with her sharpness to gather that one favorite spot of yours.
one push, out again, mona adored teasing you whenever she get the chance as well, how your cheeks prickled with warmth was the next thing. You were so hot in her eyes, so sweet and open, vulnerable and only she was allowed to touch you like this.
right now, even though she felt tired just a moment ago, the adrenaline rushing through mona turned her wide awake.
her new sense of state making her add the third and final finger into your stretched pussy, the liquid like flow of your moans turning her lower region on fire.
she was truly consuming you, the lewd noises your tight hole would make upon each rough stroke of her lean digits was crushing down on you.
you were a mess, wet and drenched with your filth and a glow of your sweat embedded on your natural curves.
in an attempt to cum undone on her hand you decided to retract your hips a bit, now meeting her play at half to move yourself in tandem with her finger fucking you.
✧ 𝐘𝐀𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐎
"you should make some noise for me if you want me to keep going."
that deceivingly snarky voice was not new to you, more so was it making you tremble whenever you heard it in the first place.
yae miko was ruthless in her antics, whether outside of the bedroom but especially with you. Something about going down on you and still having the growing authority within the room had her drool on sight.
it wasn't often for miko to give you what you want, most of the times it was you who pleasured her because quite frankly, her taste was strikingly compelling, so viciously soft on your sweet tongue it had your head grow heavy.
her piercing gaze was forcing out each cry out of your swollen lips, she watched you closely from underneath her thick lashes to make sure you're enjoying yourself in every way imaginable.
"so you do are able to make noise, how cute."
her lips and tender tongue were ready to make you sore and aching, to suckle and flick her flattened wet muscle on you until you were practically begging her to make you cum already, the impatience written across your scrunched together face.
"i-i'm so close miko."
the heavy panting fell on deaf ears, you abruptly teased your eyes open upon noticing her teasingly graze her teeth over your sensitivity.
of course, she wasn't applying any pleasure but the tickling sensation and bliss of her sharp canines over your pulsating flesh made it more difficult for you to breathe evenly, even explain a couple of normal words.
"I know you are, I can feel it."
even though miko might not look like it from the outside, her strength was otherworldly, she managed to keep your legs spread and held up high even with you already being tired and worn out.
with the last few sharp and rough licks of her skillful tongue you released on her at last, your pussy being drenched in her spit and your overly excessive juices she delightfully slurped up with the probably most graphic hums accompanying her play.
✧ 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐀
it was not the first time for a sudden intimacy to take place whenever you saw lisa work her usual job as a librarian for the knights.
as luck would have it, when you were in dire need of a job yourself she took you in all gracefully, although giving you most duties to fulfill now you still were very much thankful to the opportunity to make both mora and to have such a striking person working alongside you.
yet as time would have it, not to mention that the library was mostly empty with only you both in it, your usual encounters with the violet clothed beauty would be with you sitting all comfortably on her chair while lisa had her legs pressed tightly around your head, laying flat on the desk while you enchanted her with your tongue.
"my cutie is doing so well for me today."
her happy sounds were loud, her moans even louder yet lisa didn't seem to care, more so did the idea of someone hearing you both turn her on a tenfold with her nipples being hard and grazing from underneath her dress.
there were still knights outside of the library door and she knew, of course she did.
her hands found their rightful place on your head, roughly roaming through your hair and setting your scalp on fire. The burning ache in between your legs had you unable to fully concentrate on your task and lisa noticed immediately.
how could she not with that clever head of hers?
"If you want it so much, you should pleasure yourself in front of me now."
the sudden unusual demand was at first, startling you, with your tongue clumsily stilling on her folds as you looked at her through lidded eyes, your warm breath tickling her damp folds.
lisa's next smile was bewitching, the moment you stopped she quickly propped herself up with her elbows, carefully pulling you back so she could watch you stuff your needy pussy full with your fingers.
"come on now, show it to me." her digits playfully rubbed her clit to coax you on, to make you not only needier but starving.
you do as she said, parting your legs and pulling the flimsy material of your panties aside to expose your sobbing pussy to her hungry being, while your eyes were pinned to her lower region and hole fluttering around nothing.
brushing your first two fingers past the tightness of your walls, you drew in your breathing as you began to roughly stuff yourself with your digits, both moaning in sync now.
lisa's eyes from above held you in a tightened grip as you involuntarily jerked your hips up, the impatience in your strokes eliciting a soft giggle from your dear co worker as she continued to play with herself while eagerly watching you come undone.

My angel wanted it so here it is :))
@machetegirl109
Couture!Lingerie!Designer!Ellie x Rich!spoiled!Reader
(Also idk why but i picture Ellie fully tatted on this one like Julien Baker tatted iykwim)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The night was setting fast, cold breeze entertaining through the front door as it opened, big man dressed in a black tuxedo entered the store and a bright voice chime in behind him.
“We are closed now!” Ellie was tired, her assistant had gone sick so she had been working by herself for a week.
“Miss Williams, good evening… we have an appointment settle for today” Ellies slumped form approached the talking man.
He gave Ellie your last name, her confused face looked around the store, she was sure she heard another voice but she couldn’t see you.
Her face went down to the desk in front of her, big notebook where they annotate all the appointments, her assistant had suggested going digital, she even proposed uploading everything from the notebook to the computer, but Ellie was a simple woman and she loved physical stuff.
Her hand wondered to the date of today, looking for time frames and your last name. Bingo…
“Why is it taking so long!” Your voice revealed from behind the broad man, pretty legs adorned with the tiniest of skirts, brown colored with a pretty white button up.
Your hurried steps came closer to her, pretty stilettos clacking with every step.
Bending over the desk you came closer to her notebook, long manicured fingers pointing to your name on the page.
“Here i am, now can you look at my tits? I have a special request…” your voice came lower than expected, Ellie was prettier in person.
“Um… yeah, uhh… over here” her hand pointing towards the dresser room
Your guard went outside the store, giving extra privacy for he knew your plan.
A week ago you were scrolling down tiktok, finding on your fyp an add for Ellies store, and as soon as you saw her you needed her…
“Look Roger, this is the plan” you told him, sitting him down on the couch, you took the remote and pointed to your big screen. “Do you see this girl?” The image of a short haired, green eyed woman appeared on the screen, Roger moved his head up and down as to say yes. “Good, i want her, so…” you gave Roger your unlocked phone, already with the number ready to dial. “Call to her store and make an appointment for the weekend, we are going to New York, so get your things ready” your bright smile and tiny jumps made Roger giggle with you.
Walking in the dressing room Ellie tried not to look much at you, your pretty face was already printed in her mind and your scent clouded the entire room.
“So, here is how this works...” she grabbed a measuring tape and put it around her neck, a small note pad on her hand and a gel ink pen hanging on her working apron.
It was no secret that Ellie liked girls, however, her work ethic was stronger than any desires… until now.
For when she looked back at you there was no clothes but your pretty skirt and those sexy stilettos.
She gulped.
“Um… as i was saying… i am gonna take your measurements and then we can um… we can talk about… uhh… the rest?” Her mind was wondering, your breast on full display for her and she was already melting…
She was trying hard to pay attention to her words, this should be normal to her i mean, she’s been doing this for years now is not something she hadn’t seen before… right?
“Measure me then!” You were so overly excited, thinking of her touching you pooling in a creamy spot on your undies.
She came closer to you, reason and lust fighting inside if her.
Her hand reached for the tip of her measuring tape, pulling it down her neck, long slender fingers stretching the tape, pressing them across your back, measuring your shoulder blades, a gasp left your plump lips when her tatted fingers caressed over your pretty skin.
She was trying hard not to touch as much as she wanted, but the little whimpers you gave with each burning contact her veiny hand gave you got you delirious.
You turned around facing her now.
Her pussy was pulsating and so was yours.
Rapidly beating hearts mirroring each other with fervor.
You took her hands on yours, measuring tape between her fingers and you placed it on top of your tits, the tape vaguely covering your nipples.
Ellie was fighting creamy cunt versus screaming mind.
The ache between her legs was louder than her reason.
Her eyes went from your eyes to your nose, lips and neck, traveling all the way down to your breasts.
One of your hands traveled to her hair, placing a strand behind her ear.
She glassed a finger over your nipple, lips parting open when she felt your pretty pink glittery nails scratching her scalp when you grabbed a handful of her auburn hair.
Her green eyes darkened, blown pupil and flush skin.
The warn light of the room imitating the feeling on your cheeks.
You were indecisive, crashing her lips with yours first or give her the satisfaction of tasting your pretty tits on her mouth?
Her eyes trained to them, almost begging you, her hands now traveling down your torso, open palms touching every part of your skin, cold silver rings chilling the fire trail she was leaving behind.
When her hands reached your hips your mind went dark, thoughts of all the thing you could do with, for and to her clouded your vision.
Your hand on her head pushed her face forward, as soon as her hot mouth latched on your tit her hands squeeze your hips with need.
Licking both your boobs and sucking on them like a desperate, hopeless slut.
“You little cunt like that?” Your whinny voice penetrated her ears and her eyes rolled back.
One of her hands grabbing yours, guiding you to her aching cunt, a wet patch on her trousers and you had to close your thighs together.
Your hand went up to the collar of her blouse, cleaning her juices on your tongue first and then going back to the collar, pretty finger curling on it and taking her with you, guiding her like a lost puppy to the couch.
You sat her down straddling her, her hips buckled up as soon as you let your weight down on her and it made you moan.
Her hands traveled to you ass squeezing, her lips parted in satisfaction as soon as you squirmed from the contact. You took your opportunity, lowering yourself to kiss her, her lips crashing with you.
Fierce kiss heating both your cores, sloppy tongues and wet saliva falling from each corner of your mouths.
Both bodies trying too hard to be at contact with one another and Ellie almost went crazy, she latched on your collarbone, butterfly kisses flying around your neck, your hands rushing to the buttons of her shirt, trying to take it off.
Your desperate attempt made her chuckle on your neck, your hips bucking at her reaction.
Detaching from your skin was hard, but she had to give you all you wanted, so she took off her shirt, sports bra falling with the blouse to the ground.
Your pretty nails came in contact with her nipples, teasing and tickling her which made her squirm, her cunt was soaking for you, pulsating with the thought of having you screaming her name while you scratched her skin with your glittery nails…
Fuck writers block, i always hit as soon as the smut starts lmao 😭😭 sorry yall :((

Selling your merch and shipping from home with Fourthwall
I've been selling @shiftythrifting Junk Boxes - our curated secondhand mystery boxes - since 2017 using different platforms with different levels of success. I moved to Fourthwall in 2022 and my teeny tiny business has only grown since then! FW is free to use and you get ALL the money from your home sales save for the credit card processing fees. I don't miss the fee structure from our previous hosts, so I thought I'd write up a little guide on how easy it is to get started.
Things you need to start shipping from home:
A scale, and it doesn't need to be an expensive or large one! Even a kitchen scale works for small stuff.
Packaging and packing materials for the product(s) you're selling.
Access to a post office and/or a printer.
Funds set aside for postage. You'll get this money back with your Fourthwall payout when the month rolls over.
(Optional but handy) A ShipStation account.
Tumblr media
Make yourself a store if you haven't already. You can sell print on demand, digital stuff, and your own inventory in one place but today we're talking about selling from home, so add a product and pick the middle option.
Tumblr media
You can customize everything about your product on this page, from adding size and color variations, the materials used to make it, size charts, inventory, and more. Get an accurate weight of what you're selling in its packaging and add that here. Hit save and you have your first listing. Gonna be selling a variety of products? You can duplicate the listing with the meatball menu! Change the name, photos, and anything else that needs changing and have your second listing up in a couple minutes.
Didi protip: I like to put people's reviews right in the listing. Lots of photos help sell your product, but there's nothing like a positive review from fans!
Tumblr media
Fourthwall's Collections feature lets me put my Junk Boxes in their own little section where I can set them to hidden or mark them sold out if I get sick or am on vacation. This lets me easily turn the self-fulfilled part of my store off while folks can still purchase print on demand and digital stuff and sign up for memberships.
Tumblr media
Didi protip: If you are in the US, the US postal service will pick up your outgoing packages free of charge on any regular mail day. Just set up a pickup on USPS.com!
When you've made your first sale, you can either make the label yourself or connect directly to ShipStation through Fourthwall's app integration. That's brand new and I love it so far. My labels pop up in ShipStation about 24 hours after a purchase, giving people a little window of time to adjust their order or make changes before I ship it.
Tumblr media
At that point, all that's left is handing it off to the postal carrier of your choice! Boom, you're done!
A final note from me, I moved ShopShifty to Fourthwall so I could have one address for ALL my merch instead of splitting it between Patreon, a print-on-demand store, and the Junk Box store. It's proven to be the best choice I've made in years and has saved me a ton of money in marketplace fees, Paypal's cut, and web hosting charges. This has genuinely been the easiest way to sell my merch!

“You should wear glasses more often, you know?”
Steve raised an eyebrow, without lifting his head from the book he was reading. He knew if he did that he would be too distracted to continue reading.
"Why on earth would I do that? I don't need them that much and it makes me uncomfortable to wear them" Steve muttered to the boy blissfully lying on his lap. "Because," said Billy, reaching out to better adjust the glasses on the other's nose, attracting his attention, "they look good on you and they suit your face very well. And then" and here Billy smiled broadly "they make you look like one of those sexy professors" concluded the harpy, accompanying it all with a suggestive movement of his eyebrows.
Steve, caught off guard, couldn't resist and burst out laughing when he looked at his boyfriend's face. Steve closed his book once and for all, as he had already given up for a while and given up on reading; he was convinced that he had gotten used to Billy's outings and yet he always managed to surprise him with something new. He wiped the tears from his eyes while Billy continued to look at him all pleased. It looked like the emblem of a big, chubby cat, which was saying something considering which of the two had feline origins.
There was a silence between them, broken only by the soft purring that rose from the young gattu's chest.
Steve's hands were tangled in Billy's hair and he let himself sprawl even more on his boyfriend's legs, so relaxed that he allowed himself to leave one of his wings free so he could stretch it a little.
Billy had let himself go so much that he didn't notice how Steve, after observing his face for a while, decided to remove his glasses and then place them delicately on the harpy's face. Feeling the added weight, Billy opened his eyes, blinking quickly to adjust to the change in view before him. He turned to Steve questioningly, his face slightly distorted by the lenses, but clearly curious as to why Steve's glasses were on his face. The latter shrugged his shoulders, replying "I don't know, I think they suit your face better. Although I don't think the role of teacher is for you"
"Oh, really?" Billy sneered. "In my opinion I could be a great teacher, what do you know," he said, moving his wing animatedly, as if he were illustrating something to an imaginary audience.
Steve rolled his eyes "Yes of course, as if I didn't know you enough. And then we both know that if you were a teacher you would have classrooms full of people who would spend more time looking at you than at the blackboard" the latter grumbled.
Billy was surprised for a moment, a little twinkle in his eye.
"Don't tell me you'd be jealous Stevie"
A light blush appeared on the young cat's face, and he didn't bother to respond, except for a muttered under his breath, you're an idiot, Billy Hargrove.
To his mortification, the harpy had heard it (because of course he had), so much so that he exclaimed "Ah! I may be an idiot, but remember that I am your idiot Steve Harrington, and you can't say anything against it".
Steve looked up at the ceiling, a big smile present on his face.
He would never admit it out loud, but what Billy had said was true and he would never change it for the world.
Okay, gouache defeated me (this time). I started this illustration with gouache, ruined it, and then draw it again and colored it digitally. I will keep practicing with gouache but with smaller subjects, because in this case I really went overboard lol. Also yeah, there it was a book in the original sketch (I'll leave it below) but I didn't like it at the end so I removed it. The illustration was based on this small thing I wrote; as always I tried to pay attention and translated it the best I could (even if there is something I'm still not sure about but eh) but yeah, if you see errors or change of verbs and stuff, just ignore them 🗿 (adding that I'm a big reader, but absolutely not a writer. Still, having them in these comfy settings is like free therapy to me so I'll probably try and do more stuff like this)

So... The 10yr old Grandpa PC is now bootlooping. Probably turning senile and yelling at the cloud if it could.
Our guess is the graphics card finally giving up. I still have to take it to the shop tomorrow since it's a holiday today. That being said, I may need to build a new pc. I'll salvage what I can from the old one (ssd, hdd, probably the psu) but I need to get a new graphics card, motherboard and processor since mine is 10yrs old and the new stuff aren't that great paired with older tech and if I'm getting a better gpu, might as well get good processing power. Hopefully, it will last another 10yrs.
But I don't have enough money. So if anyone wants to commission me, now would be the time. As long as you're willing to wait a bit. If anyone wants to buy the SteveTony coloring book, send tips on kofi, I would be very grateful. And if you want to consider supporting me on patreon, I thank you so very much. Lowest tier is $1. You get everything the highest tier has.
I am stuck right now. I'm a freelancer and the pc is my only source of income. I will make pencil sketches for $5 dollars. Send me a kofi and your request. I will be very happy.
I can't copy paste all the stuff on mobile but here's the commission link. And the rest of the links are also at the bottom of that post. Coloring book is pinned on my tumblr.
Thanks so much and wish me luck! 😄

TIME FOR A PROCESS POST let's talk abt getting from this (client sketch - which, btw, i know other artists have talked about this plenty, but i LOOOOOOVE a client sketch as early direction on a commission. LOVE it)
Tumblr media
to this!
Tumblr media
at first we didn't know if the title was going to go across the desk, or over the central figure (emara's) head against the back wall. so there was a 1st version where we were favoring a higher title, then we started favoring the desk so we scrapped the clutter + centered it more
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i used clip studio's 3D models (particularly for the chair, guard, + weapon crates) and perspective rulers to help with laying everything out at this stage, tho i abandoned the 3D pretty early on bc it's a bit too clunky for me. maybe i'll find it quicker to use w more practice!
(the rest under the cut!)
once the basic layout was approved, i threw together a value study to explain how in the final image all the clutter of the bg detail would be unified and pushed back. lately i find myself thinking abt value earlier + earlier in the process; planning ahead saves me a lot of time!
Tumblr media
i fiddled with starting to refine things digitally, but then i got A BRAND NEW LIGHTBOX delivered in the mail with perfect timing (lmao) so i just ended up printing off the digital sketch, finalizing in pencil, + scanning back in
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then comes five billion different steps of locking in values, again. i did everything greyscale first, but i didn't worry abt getting things super polished at this stage bc i knew color would factor in a lot to later decisions
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is the point at which presenting these wips "step by step" is kind of misleading; i didn't do these stages one at a time, but rather had a BUNCH of different lighting/shading layers that i kept toggling on and off as i worked to make sure everything was coming along well.
(to get some of these caps i actually went into the main file again and turned a bunch of stuff on/off just for the sake of getting specific examples, because actually when i was actively working on it there was rarely a point where i was actually working on something with "all lighting turned off and just the shading on," or anything like that; but i AM interested in showing what effects different lighting/shading changes had on the base colors, even if i wasn't really making these changes in a rigid order.)
i.e., just for the sake of interest, here's how the flat colors look without those adjustments!! but i honestly never looked at it like this on its own for long...i had all the shading/lighting turned off so i could see what i was doing while flatting, but i was constantly checking back and forth.
Tumblr media
then tones added on top (which were actually just two copies of the tone folders in the above posts, set to linear burn and overlay) -
Tumblr media
which makes it get HORRIFYINGLY dark, but that's when we go in and add a bunch of lighting adjustments.
Tumblr media
the most obvious lighting change above is the big burst of hot pink light from the corner, but there was also some masked overlay + burn layers to pop out the guard + emara and make sure they were pulled out from the bg. if this were a standalone illustration, i maybe would have let the bg (and all that painstakingly drawn detail..........) stand out a little more, but a cover functions differently, and i wanted to make sure the eye goes to the title first. that means sacrificing bg detail even if it looks sick lol
then final touches! a lot of my very last touches are things that are close to invisible; gradient maps on very low opacity, noise, a little bit of scribbling on upper layers. the typesetting was all by the client, except for the lettering for "emara king's," which i did myself!
Tumblr media
finally, here's a comparison of ⬅where i left off one night close to the deadline thinking "it's probably done, but i'll sleep on it just in case," then all the adjustments i made the next day with fresh eyes.➡ and that's it!!! phew!!! that's how i make a cover!
