been watching dungeon meshi...🌱

#marcille donato #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dunmeshi #girl i dont know what tags are right.#deliart #normally i stay away from the fantasy medieval rpg etc aesthetic but this anime is nice so far ! felt a little refreshing.#i appreciate the textured linework in the anime. although as someone who also does that. i really felt the slight bleed on the colors #in some spots. i wanted to get in there to fix it soo bad in the beginning #textured linework requires a lot of effort to look clean.....but it looks lovely. seems difficult if u gotta color a whole animation #id do neat linework for this but i am base sketch pen for linework pilled rn. post more work less #got more serious wips currently but those are all on the backburner<3 sorrie.....

some simple (but plentiful!!!) sprites for you all today. just some outfit swaps! the alpha kids did not get nearly enough cool outfits, so i decided to see what they'd look like with some modified beta kid outfits. some look decent, but others look very nice! i also did it the other way around too, because whynot.

(sorry i think i'll stop with the colored text thing in default text, it was So Cool but it was also really time consuming @_@)

JANE

ROXY

DIRK

JAKE

JOHN

JADE

ROSE

DAVE

#tada!!!#i feel like the lab suit and the vriska outfit look good on jane especially #roxy has the Source Engine Missing Texture dress #dirk's puppet tux suit and orange soda suit look so cool! though i guess the former would be hal's?#jake in a dress. it is unusual to see but pretty cool nonetheless!!#john hmmm... i associate that outfit with jane so much it's weird to see him in it. someone get that girl (John Egbert) a skirt #another unusual style for jade. neat to see though!#rose looks very nice too! it's hard to tell but i did actually switch some colors on that dress. check the original!#dave. hmm. no thanks #homestuck #homestuck sprite edit #jane crocker #roxy lalonde #dirk strider #jake english #john egbert #jade harley #rose lalonde #dave strider

People tend to lump the Raimi goblin redesign in with the modern trend of watered-down militaristic villain costumes, which is fair, but-

this is some classic-era tokusatsu type costume design

#images from (70s kamen rider and 60s ultraman)#disclaimer I am not a real tokusatsu knower I just think old fx and costuming are neat #it's the color-coded rubbery textured suit and the hard helmet with sculpted features and shiny eyes yknow #green goblin #raimi #costume taxonomy

A D&D character that's been living in my head for the past 2-ish months

I love hurdy-gurdies and bards and this random name that came to me one day, so I smashed these things together and bam! A character I'll probably never get to play lol

#she's a half-orc half-human girlie #kept the color palette ref because it looks fun #also tried using a thinner & textured brush for once #felt weird but neat #i don't like how one of the hands turned out though >:(#my art

why is so much of sewing just tracing and cutting and tracing again q_q i see why people get projectors and use adobe illustrator now

#drawing up a design that i can easily pattern from my sloper: 😊#actually having to make the pattern by tracing and cutting ad infinitum: 😰#piecing together printer paper to get a big enough sheet of paper and doing this ten million times: 🥲😭#not to mention the IRONING.... prewashing the fabric and having to iron 8 yards of fabric???? excuse me????#and then distorting it as i iron bc it has a slight stretch and i got so tired i stopped being careful 2 yards in #and the way that you're supposed to press every seam... excuse me... am i just supposed to have my iron heated and on standby at all times #AND THE STEAM??? i just got stay tape the other day and thought it'd be a neat alternative to stay stitching #BUT IT NEEDS STEAM TO ACTIVATE (which okay makes sense) BUT long story short i'm too afraid to use the steam function #on my iron because none of us are sure if water should go back into a tank that's been in disuse for 30+ years #so instead i get this water spray pen and delicately spray down the length of each piece of stay tape #before i cover it with a piece of gauze and iron it. and then i have to iron it extra so all the water actually evaporates #oh and the spray pen holds as much water as half a pen so i have to walk to the kitchen every 10 sprays to refill it #and i have to do this for every curved edge on my pattern pieces #i mean the alternative is just stay stitching but then i would have to calibrate my settings for a single layer of fabric instead of double #which means i have to switch my needle out more and i'm still new enough that sometimes i install a needles wrong despite going through #all the same exact motions that i usually would. i'm LITERALLY suffering out here. anyway can't wait to sew or whatever #oh and did i mention i went to a sewing meetup recently? yeah...#everyone there bought like $30-$100/yard fabric and i was there awkwardly knowing i only buy like $12/yard fabric #honestly though i have the opposite problem people usually joke about. i find it So hard to find fabric i actually like #it needs to be the right fiber + right color + right pattern/texture + right weight + i have to know exactly what i'm going to make with it

i have nothing good to offer or draw, please just take this apology cake doodle

#tron #tronblr #some context i'm willing to divulge is from personal hcs of how tron may like the color brown and sweet stuff #esp based on his kh2/1982/2.0 iteration that even the actor said had a clark kent/superman kind of personality he used as inspiration aw #the computer worlds esp in older tech times were limited to pitch black and neon lights and you wouldn't see colors like dark brown y'know #humans think AI is superior and neat... what about AI thinking humanity and bio-organic 'mundane' things we take for granted are neat?#subversion of that trope where AI thinks humanity and bio-organic stuff is inferior and beneath them #so idk i think tron would be enamored w the user world's wonders of soothing dark colors/soft textures/bio-organisms/dirt

A character reference sheet sort of thing for the main character of the Poll Adventures, drawn more in my usual style (taking a picture of messy pencil sketches then coloring it digitally lol) rather than the cutesy ms paint style of the daily poll images .. there he is.. the adventure boy..

#paventure posting #sketches #I haven't drawn for real in a long time.. I forget how much I dislike coloring lol #I think if I did Neat Digital Art Lines that you can color in with the fill bucket tool it would be different but #since I can only really draw on phyiscal paper with a pencil and then just put that on the computer the lines are all too #messy for that to work. So I basically have to color it all coloring book style which is tedious #Honeslty I really like... physical art. like sculptures. and I like pencil and pen sketching . But I really dont like #most digital art at all. The exception is in MS paint for some reason. I think because I can use the bucket fill tool lol #and the pixelly lines give it some texture still. My main problem with digitial art lines is that they don't look like pencil on paper they #'re too “clean” like no scratchy messy texture looking stuff. Which I know you can use different brushes. I've tried. it just doesnt #have the same feel to it. ANYWAY.. Definitely need to practice more hjbjhb.. my anatomy and drawing fabrics and stuff #has gotten much more wonky than it used to be I think. but I've just been focusing so much more on writing #than drawing. Or only drawing the occasional sketch that goes along with writing (like worldbuilding stuff)#aside from Ms paint stuff I probably haven't really DRAWN like a full body sketch or face #or anything like that in maybe a year or more. yoink #OH ALSO i know his boots are different now because the poll voted to give him new boots ghjhbjb #I drew this before then. I actually thought more people would vote for the coat ToT #I wanted to draw him in a cool robe or something and have that be an addition to his outfit #instead just the shoes change. which aren't even visible in all drawings :(#A little purple outer coat. his favorite color. But alas.#And yeah the string that laces up his main tunic coat thing is technically like a tan yellowy sort of color but I usually #just draw it as black because it's easiest. especially with ms paint and doing really thin lines #also his hair is a little ridiculous and doesn't translate well from chibi type image to realistic but I tried gh.. the bangs lol...

k.abru d.ungeon m.eshi the man that you are...

#ash rambles 💚#eyes the color of the sky 💙#he's handsome... tis just a crush but he's quite charming! I've been into him for many many months now!#i know it's a silly thing but. ever since the anime came out and the series has been getting more popular i feel oddly protective over him #i think it's because he's brown tbh #i just. as a brown person too i feel a very strong connection to him and i feel the need to protect him from shitty fandom takes LMAO #and it's a tiny thing too but as an indian person i can see him as indian as well #if you look at some of the food he describes having eaten.. that sounds like shit i have you know?#us folks dont get much representation #especially people like me who are punjabi. when have i ever seen someone of my race in media? hell even in this community?#it's such an alienating experience.#anyways back to k.abru #your honor i adore him he is so neat!#also i just love his hair ajdhajsj we have similar hair textures! granted i straighten my hair usually but shhh #dunno how this ended up a ramble about race.. sorry y'all LMAAOO just smth i have a lot of thoughts abt #ily k.abru our desi king #but fuck all that #i just really wanna kiss him #i know i always tease him for his blue eyes #say they're piercing into my soul and all that #and um. dont tell him i said this but #(whispers) his eyes are so pretty

Nervous giggles

Even more nervous giggles

There are so many professional paintings here, so many technically advanced, highly impressive works, and I'm just like [slaps some crayons down] y- yeehaw,,

I'm keeping the Escape Motions site Exciting. keeping it Interesting and Ridiculously Colorful

#pikaposts #alo(e) art #someone commented on False Moon telling me they love my style bc it's 'very cheery!'#it's still so baffling to me that expressing my horrors is always interpreted as whimsical joyful fun #i like to say that's neat! that's it's so nice i can make good things from the bad! but i also #can't help but feel like i just speak a different language from everyone else and i'll never be able to translate well enough #to be properly understood. but i mean! it shouldn't Really matter. if i Really wanted to get my point across i could try to paint more like #munch. everyone understands the scream. a gaping mouth and a blood-red sky doesn't leave much room for contentment let alone joy.#my jellyfish painting is about the wonders of the ocean and False Moon doesn't seem that different! so idk why i'm always surprised #but aNYWAY.#i'm just bein a silly goose. the real point here is that the contest i entered is now in the judging phase and the results will #be posted May 10th... i'm gonna be running around in circles until then #i definitely don't Think i'll win but holy shit it'd be wild if i did. the prizes are art tablets i could never dream of affording #but even if i don't win i get a discount on all Escape Motions stuff in the future! so it'll be easier for me to upgrade to #Rebelle 6 <3 it has CLIPPING LAYERS and i want it so damn bad. the lack of clipping layers is my only issue w rebelle 5 #bc i'm indecisive and especially when drawing characters i often do my lineart in brightly colored sections #of course that's not the only better thing abt rebelle 6-- it's got some other SUPER cool stuff #it's so fucking nice to be able to paint digitally and still have all the texture. hell yeah hell yeah #...sweet din i like to infodump when it comes to art huh. it IS one of the Most Important Things to me so i suppose that makes sense #tldr; painting. yippee!! [insert confetti cannon emoji here bc i'm on desktop rn]

I hate traditional painting so muchh (つД`)ノ <- has to paint for school

#ok that’s not totally true #i like painting when it’s just throwing colors that look good together and mixing paper and scratching it to get textures and stuff #I’m saying I like glorified finger painting honestly #not when it has to be neat #and this has to be neat #and black and while #with 8 shades of grey #couldn’t have even been colorful smh

A Careful Balance: Portraying a Black Character's Relationship with their Hair

@writingraccoon said:

My character is black in a dungeons and dragons-like fantasy world. His name is Kazuki Haile (pronounced hay-lee), and his mother is this world's equivalent of Japanese, which is where his first name is from, while his father is this world's equivalent of Ethiopian, which is where his last name is from. He looks much more like his father, and has hair type 4a. I plan to make his character very finnicky about his hair, both enjoying styling it, but also often being unsure how to style it (not in that he doesn't know how to, but has so many options for how to style it, he has trouble choosing). However, I know that there are some very harmful ways to write black hair, especially in regards to how the black character themselves feels about it. Kazuki does not hate his hair, in fact he takes joy in it, and I'm researching black hair and hair styles to be as accurate as possible. But I'm unsure if portraying a black character as occasionally overwhelmed by or vain about his hair is negative. How would you suggest either changing this or making it work? Does it need to be changed in the first place?

Black Character Overwhelmed by Curly Afro Hair

Your Black character wanting his hair to look its best and at times feeling overwhelmed seems reasonable and natural to me. It appears their challenge comes with how to style it. Not so much with struggling how it looks or how hard it is to manage. That is good, as this further helps avoid placing a strong negative focus on Black hair.

Him caring a lot about how it is style should not be deemed vain or frivolous, either. In any case, hair care is self care. There’s nothing wrong with having pride with your hair, especially hair that mainstream society, historically and present, might say is not beautiful. This still matters, even in a fantasy world, since your readers still exist in this reality. It’s empowering and a welcome change to see someone who loves their afro hair, actually.

There are unique factors someone with coily afro hair would experience vs. straight, wavy, or looser curls, but people struggling with their hair (too frizzy, too flat, too limp, too thin, too thick!) is universal.

There is a delicate balance to achieve.

Avoid Writing a Black Hair Journey Experience

An overall negative Afro hair journey might be the reality for many, especially when society deems Afro hair as unacceptable and slaps so many uninvited opinions, laws and policies over its existence and on certain styles (again, historically and very much at present), but that’s the kind of story that is best handled by someone with the background. Someone willing to commit to the research might also be able to pull it off, although it’s truly not the kind of thing an escapism novel needs in my opinion. If the story is not meant to delve into “A Black /Black Hair Experience” then I'd avoid going that route. That is moving a bit towards a struggle narrative, depending on how much it defines your character’s story.

Add positive and neutral hair language and interactions

For your writing, I’d avoid using unchallenged negative language about his hair. Being overwhelmed at times and frustrated is one thing and expected. If his hair is constantly brought up, and is associated with uncontrollable, ugly, or too [insert struggle here], then rethink the direction you’re going.

Add some positive or neutral terms, reactions, and interactions in the narrative towards afro hair, such as describing color and texture.

“His fine coils bounced in the wind.”

“Hair black and shiny”

“She wore her hair in two large, fluffy buns.”

“He admired his fresh, neat braids in the mirror, smiling at his reflection, before turning to leave.”

Another tip: It may have been for research purposes, but leave out any hair number categorizing in the story and rely on description. I’d say this goes for any story, as reading the number would feel off.

“He had coily 4a hair.” Nahh! :P

Also, I would suggest sending all passages that focus on his hair to a Black sensitivity reader for review.
