Here's the finished drawing next to the sketch! (Also some more Rowan sketches. I have a few of those ahaha)

And some progress pictures!

King (ID in Alt)

I might maybe perhaps possibly still be slightly obsessed with the Wilds of Eldraine story. (And Rowan specifically. Support women's wrongs!)

(ID in Alt)

Actually I wanted to draw her in fancy evening attire, but I kinda forgot halfway through and now she's wearing jeans. Tbf, I think that might be in-character.

(I drew this to test my then new polychromos, but I like it a lot, so ... why not share it?)

I only have one in-progress picture unfortunately. I think it's funny that it looks like it's out of focus, but no, that's what the drawing actually looked like at that point!

Base colours, done with pastels only.

@AkuSaiMonth 2023 Prompt: Stars ID in alt. Bingo card under the cut! (1/5)

The birth of stars …

This is based on that one first anniversary James Webb picture and inspired by this artwork by @prinnay! And I just realized she also made an (absolutely amazing) drawing based on that same James Webb picture...! Check it out!

My bingo card for this year:

I have 4 out of 5 drawings planned out ... let's see how many i can get out in the two weeks left

AkuSaiMonth 2023: July 8 - August 7

And here we go again! Welcome to AkuSaiMonth, a month of celebrating AkuSai & LeaIsa!

AkuSaiMonth 2023 Bingo

Just like last year, we will be playing bingo again! The prompts on the bingo cards are randomized! Which means, every participant will have their prompts in 1 of 30 different arrangements!

Where can I get the Bingo Card?

To claim your personal AkuSaiMonth Bingo card,

click >> HERE! <<

Using the link on the same device and browser should (in theory) always lead to the same card. However, I would strongly recommend also saving the card by either using the print button on top or by making a screenshot.

How does it work?

The goal is to get one “Bingo!” during the month (Jul 7 – Aug 8) by filling 5 prompts in a row, column or diagonal.

This could mean one post every week, for example:

Post 1: Saturday, July 8 (IsaLea Day)

Post 2: Saturday, July 15

Post 3: Saturday, July 22

Post 4: Sunday, July 29

Post 5: Monday, August 7 (AkuSai Day) -> Bingo! <3

You are of course allowed to do less than five prompts (one is perfectly fine! <3) or even fill out the entire bingo card (I wish I had your time management skills)!

Rules:

General Rules

• The event is open to everybody, there is no official list of participants and you don't have to register for it.

• You can start and end your participation at any time!

• You can fill as many prompts as you want at whatever schedule works for you!

• The goal is to achieve one bingo, but this is meant as motivation only; it’s not an obligation or restriction!

• Everybody who reaches one bingo "wins".

• There is no prize for "winning" and there is no punishment for "not winning"

• On instagram I will collect all posts in the stories. It is also possible to invite @akusaimonth as a collaborator to showcase and collect your works on the @akusaimonth instagram page as well. All rights to your works remain with you of course!

• If you post to other sites (e.g. AO3, twitter, wattpad, youtube, ...) you can send me the link in a DM on either tumblr or instagram so I can add that link to the instagram stories and tumblr (assuming you didn't post it there yourself). Please let me know where you would like me to put the link and whether it contains NSFW content or not.

• I do retain the right to not share content I find in bad taste and I will ask you to remove it from the #AkuSaiMonth tags as well. I don't expect any problems, but just to be save.

Content Rules

• All forms of content are allowed, including but not limited to fanfiction, fanart, edits, videos, music, …

• The “/” in some prompts means you can use either or multiple of the terms

• All prompts are open for interpretation, there’s no right or wrong way to use any of them!

• You can stay within the framework of canon or create AUs or crossovers or whatever you want, everything is great!

• All content has to be made by you! Stolen fan work is NOT allowed.

• AI generated work is strongly discouraged

psssst - is there going to be an akusai event this year?? >.> asking for a friend. (me - i'm the friend).

Hey friend! :) You know what? Yes, let's just do it again! I've been considering for a while, but actually: The joy of seeing everone's works outweighs any negatives. So yeah! I'll get one together! (Even though it's suuuuper late. Sorry Dx)

It will be a Bingo again, same rules as last year too! I'll try to get everything ready before the next week!

I'm currently collecting prompts (I need 24 again) so if anyone has any ideas, please share them with me! In the replies, tags, asks, whatever!! I think it's better if it's not just my ideas!

Let's have a great month again this year!

#akusaimonth #asm23 #akusai #kingdom hearts #i don't know how much i will be able to contribute but I have one idea that absolutely needs to be done x'D

Oops, wrong door.

Another Magic drawing! Hello MtG fandom, I'm afraid I'm here to stay. But honestly, if nobody else wants to draw my special murderous boy I just have to do it myself.

#anhelo the painter #anhelo #new capenna #mtg #magic the gathering #drawing #digital drawing #finished #cw blood #cw murder #at least it's implied #this happened bc i took this super cool reference picture for the xanhelo drawing but couldn't use it there #and then it turned into background practice #i'm pretty happy with this!#a lot of thought went into this drawing but i'm not going to spell things out #there's also a crude joke to be made in there but i also won't spell that out #his jacket collar is down and he wears no steel collar bc originally i wanted to have blood on his throat and then i just kept it like that #... i hope it's fine to put this in the mtg tag??#tbh i feel a little out of place in the mtg fandom #like mtg is so huge and i feel like i'm sitting in a tiny bubble #i'm used to liking highly specific characters and things in media that most people don't care about but this feels a bit extreme #but it IS part of mtg so i hope it's fine??#it's not my fault i got stuck in new capenna and kamigawa :(

So, I just had to draw that one scene in the Streets of New Capenna story. And then I figured I can put it in my deck as well, bc why tf not.

I love drawing things for my core target audience (me).

#mtg #magic the gathering #xanhelo #lord xander #anhelo #anhelo the painter #this was the first thing i've drawn in a long time and i was so hyperfocussed on it you would not believe #idk #it just happened #also it's not my fault they're like this #drawing #digital drawing #finished #a little chat isn't even a GOOD card #i actually took it out if the deck #but I'm putting it back in now just for the fun of it #why can't the second card go to the graveyard it would make so much more sense too :'(

"At Last"

It's Koujaku's birthday (August 19)!!! To celebrate I decided to finish this drawing / colour experiment from May! The colours are heavily inspired by one of my favourite Magic the Gathering illustration: "Dueling Rapier" by Anna Podedworna. Although I ended up using them a little different, ehehe...

#dramatical murder #dmmd #koujaku #dmmd koujaku #drawing #finished #digital drawing #happy birthday spatzi <3 #i might have overdone it with the orange glow but i like it

@AkuSaiMonth 2022 Prompt: Gala / Ball IDs in alt. Bingo card under the cut! (4/5)

Masquerade!! <3 I can’t decide if the outfits are too tacky or too boring, so I guess they’re perfect! To be honest, I want Isa’s outfit.

#AkuSaiMonth #asm22 #AkuSai #LeaIsa #IsaLea #AxelSaix #Kingdom Hearts #digital art #finished #tbh this belongs to an AU / RPG that I had with friends #dream of the morrow #ahh it makes me feel nostalgic ahaha #this is the first time i actually managed to finish a drawing for that masquerade in eight (8!!!) years #i have sketches of the masks from 2014 #(i ended up not using these sketches though ehehe)#anyway i'm so glad i finally managed to draw them that's one thing off my endless to-do-list x'D #also i really like how this turned out!#i wanted to use a simple colour style to be faster but i don't usually colour like this so it took a while to figure it out #i was sick and took a day to rest and i spent that entire day colouring this #in the end i had to stop because i got a blister on my middle finger #i was ... a bit hyperfocussed #still wasn't done after that day i spent every minute i could spare in the last two days to get this done #it wasn't a lot of minutes to be fair #i love the upper right drawing so much to be honest #maybe i'll make myself a lockscreen out of that

Progress - How I got to this point:

Step 1 is a thumbnail. A really quick (30 seconds max) really small (3 x 5 cm; that’s actually too big for an actual thumbnail but pssssht) doodle of what the drawing might look like. I'll often do multiple of them per drawing, trying out different poses and angles.

Step 2 is an anatomical and perspective sketch. I took some reference photos of myself to test out poses. It lended up looking way too stiff (as my initial sketches often do, this is my least favourite step). Also, I decided I wanted Isa to look down.

Step 3 was new for me. I was stuck in a place with only post-its and a pen, so I redrew the picture from memory, focussing more on the flow, but with the anatomy and perspective cues I still had in mind from step 2. This worked SUPER well and I think this will be my new MO from now on. So I guess that makes Step 2 a study actually? Wow, using studies in my art, that sounds so professional.

Step 4 is a big step. I took a photo of step 3 and then worked over it digitally. I worked out the final pose I wanted (mix between step 2 and 3), took some new reference photos, played around with the pattern in the background and the flow. Then I printed it (in twice the size I usually work with) and finally …

Step 5 I traced the printed sketch on the paper I want to use for the colours. This step alone took over TWO HOURS and I fixed some details (like correcting tangents) while working on it. Usually I trace only very lightly, often in a pencil that will smudge into the colours. I don't like working with actual lines, I only add them at the very end of a drawing. But this was when I realized I will have to post the WIP and in order for you to see anything at all I jumped over my shadow and drew over the lines again with different pencils (ranging from scale B to 3H). Which took another 1 1/2 hours. Oof.

And that’s where we are now! <3 Next up is colour, but I won’t get to that anytime soon unfortunately :(
