does anyone else here find fantasy diagrams interesting? I really want to make more fake flyers and ornamental maps and diagrams and fake storybook stuff for my fantasy wip, but it never gets a lot of notes hehe. but I wanna start collecting them to make a free digital zine (or a donation base one). I have four shrapnels of Hidnilawonen (the story of Hidlawonen) they are all southeast asian inspired, so I'm not sure how much of an audience I can garner..

Artists that inspire me!

I'm a huge fan of art and these are only skimming the top of the wonders of the artist community and those that inspire me.

@iliothermia a trans Jewish artist who creates undeniably trans and Jewish art!!! Hyde's linework and composition is masterful, and his attention to detail is immaculate. He has a shop where he sells beautiful high quality prints, stickers, pins, bookmarks, and a few other odds and ends! Oh, did I mention he draws everything with a MOUSE!

@eleheba another trans Jewish artist I adore. Skilled in black and white work and color. Composition is crazy. It's the kind of work I'd think to find in old medieval books. They're definitely a modern day master artist. They also have a shop!

@stayatsam this artist has inspired me endlessly and got me into portraiture. Another transgender W. Sammi creates beautiful portraits with a unique coloring style. Edgy, gothic, and beautiful.

@littlestpersimmon I'm struggling to find the words to describe how incredible this artist's work is. Dreamy, ethereal, romantic, and detailed. He create enchanting mlm pieces inspired by southeast Asian art and culture.

@godivaghoul an erotica artist who creates dashing gothic scenes. Beautiful women with spectacular line art...need I say more?

@wiltkingart dark and moody paintings with incredible use of color. A focus on trans mlm. Another artist that deeply inspires me.

Skulkingfoxes on instragram and Twitter. Rowan has incredible lineart and character design. They have several comics as well as a shop! Their composition and use of black and white is skillful and immaculate. I wish I could steal their hands

@the-nothing-maker their art always wows me. They have amazing control over color and use colored pencils!!! Genuinely their work GLOWS I wish I could see them in person.

@bunabi another master of color and character design. All her art feels soft and dreamy. She also make brush packs!

@rennybu where do I start... Adrienne's art is colorful, soulful, and dreamy. And so so tender. Not to mention they're incredibly kind! Here's a commission I got from them...agh I'm tearing up

Unfortunately I've run out of image space. The list could go on until I've named every artist on the internet. I hope you give these wonderful people a follow!

And of course all my wonderful art friends but you can just check out my tag #friend art

do you have any tips for drawing distance models? i really like how you simplify things in your art and wanted to ask!

I think su did a great job with distance models. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Really hard to verbalize what "simplify" means. It's easier for me to do on-the-fly because I Already know the relationship between shapes in my characters.

If you're not really that kind of character designer, try drawing the design from memory after not touching it for a while. Or ask someone else to draw them from memory. Try drawing the character with a 30 second time limit or explaining what the character looks like to someone else or doing pixel art of the character. See what gets kept and what gets left out or forgotten. This can inform you of what parts of a character's design really define them vs just accentuating them.

It's good to explore why they define that character too, what the function of that piece is. Like, noses. They're not usually drawn in distance models bc they don't do anything to communicate the expression on the face. They aren't absolutely necessary.

In addition to simplifying, I would exaggerate different features/change their proportions to help with readability and communicating the character's mood. The shapes have a relationship between themselves, but they also have a relationship with the viewer. Kim's nose is smaller than her eyes, but if I drew her facing the camera really close to it, it would be technically very large, maybe larger than her eyes in that instance — the viewer's relationship to the shapes ultimately trumps the innate relationships of the design because the latter exists to facilitate communication with a viewer in the first place.
