MK interrupting the moment...
Hey, the page is finally here, sorry for the delay, but I had a very strong drop in energy, honestly, I didn't feel very well, the good thing is that it's over, the bad thing is that I'm already late with the pages, I should have had the other pages ready these days, I'll try to give it my all now that I feel better, I can't fail now.
basically Shadowpeach arranged political marriage but Macaque is pretending to be a woman to spy on the monkey king while Wukong pretends to be a straight guy
The fic in question is called Fractured Pieces Make a Mosaic. PLEASE READ IT CAUSE IT GENUINELY THE BEST SHADOWPEACH FIC I'VE EVER READ.
Some spoilers for the fic cause I wanna gush about it.
Dude there was so much stuff I loved.
Mk being a caring Succesor.
Nezha and Wukobg being brothers.
Macaque getting called out for ALL of his mistakes. Like there is quotes and shit. My man took TIME to get that all piled up.
Wukong getting comforted like he DESERVES.
Pigsy just beat the SHIT outta Macaque.
Pigsy, Tang, and Mei don't exept Macaque's apology and that makes SO much sense.
Wukong gets really upset when he found out Macaque hurt Mk more than once and I love that.
Bai He my girls there.
Macaque and Wukong don't automatically go back to be lovely dovey, instead their awkward which makes more sense.
I'm someone who doenst genuinely read serious fics. I usually crack ones that make me laugh. I seriously once sat through a Pregnant Wukong fic cause it was that silly. Put I did genuinely love this fic.
I'm gonna pretend me making that comic about Macaque and Wukong was just fate and its actually fanart for this fic. Please read it cause I love it so so much.
This is the only time I've ever felt bad for Macaque.
So JJK is over and my LMK brainrot is back , added with the fact i am playing a MOBA game and am being blessed with delicious illustrations
it prompted me to make this
Now i am going to ramble about this because this is the first time in forever where i kinda pushed myself to make a FULL art piece-
I will be standing for this-
Let me tell you, i had no confidence in this and the composition was supposed to be way different, but this still happened.
This took two days because i kept procrastinating , walking around my room dreading drawing the background
BIG ADVICE FOR BEGINNER ARTISTS
Watch speedpaints. You will learn so much by watching the process and that was this for me
I have the tendency to kinda burn myself out and finish everything in a day and then never actually finishing. Tried something different for this and made a cheap silhouette of a sketch, then drew over that and used greys and whites fort the shadows. Then i think i colored everything in a base color (and i finally used a palette) and then i tried to find the lighting and shadow colours. It was weird. And what im saying is that i planned most of it instead of diving head in withour a plan.
Crazy i know-
I also just learned about dpi PROPERLY and unfortunately made my piece so big that it kept stalling paint tool sai-
let me just post the progress shots
I also fucked up macaques reference and fixed it in a whim somewhere. You can see it here. I honestly wasn't planning to follow the lmk at style but that kinda happens when you're starring too much at the references.
There's still a mess and i wanted to render it a bit better ,the way i normally do but i didn't. Anyways i did enjoy the process and i actually miss them so much and i might watch LMK all over again
Especially Wukong and MK
Btw this was supposed to be a moving illustration and i just didn't
I have Live2D but no
(Btw please check out my profile if you have the chance and thank you for reading this! Love you-)
