Geneuary Slumber Party / Jealousy

And the jealousy part? Gene is messing with Courtney from when she tried to make her jealous with Alex, and Gene got jealous yeah but not for Courtney exactly XD

I LOVE "Roller? I Hardly Know Her!" I pray for another episode like that one every day 🛐

This is barely an homage to my first work that I ever posted here, the one who started it all. You know which one Im talking about 😉

Oh and by the way the party is in Courtney's house cause I wanted a pink room and Gene's room is not pink and I could swear we have never seen Courtney's room so I could lie and say is pink. And heavily inspired in Tina's room, I think both girls are very into pink and boys so it makes sense. I wish I had added more musical things but I was struggling so here it is. End of the room chat.

#bob's burgers #my art #geneuary2024 #gac pack #so about the drawing #im not happy with the final result #but its not the worst #though I would have liked to do something better #cause this one carried lot of things I love #but hey... I couldn't come with anything positive about it XD #this is the typical case of bad picture #put a lot of filter and brillitos so no one would notice #XD #I was trying to do something with the background #el qué? nosé #i was feeling bolt and original #why i keep doing this to myself? #I hope you like it #I hope to keep celebrating my bean #at least she looks happy en su pijamada

longing for the sunshine, even if my wings may melt away

id: a digital drawing of mirage and gabriel from ultrakill. they’re shown running in green fields over a blue sky. mirage is closer to the viewer and she’s looking up, her legs are cut off by the frame. gabriel is fully visible, behind mirage and holding her hand, looking up into the sky as well. end id

#this fucking sucks but i had to get it out because it was on my mind so much it's annoying #art #ultrakill #whatever. honestly as much as i love the game and the story and characters etc etc it's been such a pain drawing anything for it this was #just eugh! a nightmare to work on. besides the background. that was fun #ok whatever. bye #i might redraw this when i'm feeling better/back into ultrakill but for now you get the baaaad version boo! #icarus is a really pretty song i think also. fits gabriel pretty well. if i do say so myself #also firealpaca has been randomly switching to the eraser tool and it's so annoying drawing this was like a fight for my life #sorry about complaining i'm just erm. eats cement

I feel so near to the howling of the wind / Feel so near to the crashing of the waves / Feel so near to the flowers in the field...

#em draws stuff #oc time again hehe #moth and compass #the light keeper: luna maitland #LONG TIME NO MOTH AND COMPASS!! HERE SHE IS :3 #it feels like forever since I've just let myself paint around instead of fast scribble or big limited-palette colorblocks #and coming back to my usual brushes just felt so much easier in comparison - relaxing even though I didn't realize I was stressed! #well. I did know I was stressed but not About This. #feel like I've got a better idea of how to quick-render an effective background now! #genuinely I'm pleased enough with this that it's going in the portfolio #<- he says as if the portfolio is getting used for anything and isn't just a folder on his phone with his favorite art pieces of his own #caption lyrics from 'feel so near' by dougie maclean which I have had on a cd for over a decade and is very precious to me

Smthn that I noticed alot on ur art is having a dark background with a very bright accent color (which look amazing btw) dunno if this will be helpful or not lol

@dragon-tamer-1

Thanks for the sweet words and reviews! ❤️❤️❤️

Now after many thoughts, here's the result:

#ask #art challenge #evil art style #lil moon #drag' #!¡ anon #...LJ I can't change my nationality silly #me doing artz #I love people telling me what they noticed I usually do artstyle-wise because there's always at least one thing I just never noticed myself #:D #well there are several things this time that are so very interesting #like the body proportions comment #I do always end up squishing a bit the proportions because yes cuter and it feels weird to do more realistic ones #like the background choice and bright accent color part #I always have such a hard time choosing a background color XD #I try so many colors before settling on one I might choose more often darkish backgrounds because it looks better with light colored bones #mmm I do draw often skelies or just pretty light themed ocs #I should add some darks to my team XD #the bright accent color? I didn't notice I just like colors ✨ And I'm absolutely enamored with glowing sparkling etc stuff so bright #the shading comment is fascinating to me prime good info I dunno how I want to shade Cell shading? It's so easy to mess it??? Rendering? Ho #does one do that properly??? Now I kinda stopped worrying and just shade like whatever pffft XDc so I like hearing how it translates from #your side ;D #I'm saving all the compliments in my special file btw #I'm very proud my drawings get percieved as soft and joyful that is absolutly a vibe I can bear with ;3 #also #a tear's soul #is the name of a project I'm still in the brainstorm phase #I did not intend to name drop that soon but I thought it fitted well the challenge #(‾◡◝)

art roundup!!

happy end of the year! heres my favorite stuff i drew in 2023 :]

last pic was an artfight attack for @/duck-n-clover and @/darby-draws !

#my art #it certainly has been a year! #i feel like i didn't draw a lot...but looking back i'm proud of the progress i've made #did NOT draw a lot of backgrounds but. there's next year for that #while i didn't push myself as much as i would've liked...i feel like i know what i want out of art better now #it's been 3 years since i did one of these. yeesh

[kinos-fortress-2]

i just woke up and realized my art did developed holy crap

#girl what drawing tf2 does to a mf fr #since i have been drawing tf2 my artstyle just developed better and now i finally have found an original artstyle compared to the ones #i had back in the beginning of 2023 #IF ONLY I WASNT SO LAZY and so distracted holy shit i could make it more better like studying backgrounds ugh #and keep practicing my coloring girl i have been drawing a lot but not coloring i need to start painting before i forgot it #but oh my god i swear it developed bc i am drawing a little more fast than before and my lineart is more bold than before #guys fucking practice with tf2 characters and ALSO dorohedoro that is also my main inspo too #i feel like also w dorohedoro i developed my style but back then i was still more shaky than bold #but now i can happily say i am no more embarrassed in my artstyle of how i draw characters like i used to be before #i was always so goddamn negative for no reason with myself but i guess the negativity helped me develop my artstyle #but gave me artblock sadly… and often issues w self esteem but aaaa idk i think i’m doing much better i can do better yes just… #need to draw more and that is the actual nightmare huh

Behold, my latest and most enamouring new obsession:

Malina, Lady of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. As if Red Lotus child OCs weren’t niche enough

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #lok malina #still feel like that’s too vague of a tag but I can’t come up with anything better for now #and yeah. she has completely stolen by heart and I don’t know how to feel about that #don’t think I ever was this attracted to my own art before #to be fair the design isn’t mine. it’s very heavily based on something nina drew back in 2021 #because I did not have the energy or creativity to come up with my own thing #but the art is all mine and I genuinely adore it. super proud of myself which is a rare occurrence #anyways. kat and I spent three days digging this niche lower and lower and now have a he #*hell of a lot of lore about this basically nonexistent character #for lore about a lady from the North Pole a lot of it is rather hot… to the point my cheeks are burning non stop #I would say I’d let her do anything she wants to me but in my very specific aroace-adjacent case it’s more like #I’d let her tell me to do anything she wants to her #if that makes any sense and I have not completely lost my goddamn mind yet #okay. enough yapping. back to the art itself #lazy background because I suck at those and am not currently attempting to learn them. I’ll probably do that over the summer #about time anyway. my characters have been placed against an off-white background for far. far too long #this is the first piece in just over a year that isn’t tagged with sotrl. which is kinda weird tbh #I’ve been drawing my OCs almost exclusively for nearly 5 years so it is genuinely surprise I’m branching out #*surprising #less branching out and more diving from one hole into another but y’know #anyway. in my personal and very correct opinion she turned out absolutely gorgeous #her servants are way too lucky and unalaq is way too much of an idiot. no offence to vaatu but he could never beat out this #and I also have Kat’s personal and very correct opinion to back up my own. two against the void. once again we’re winning #I wanna draw her a lot more bc she has completely possessed my brain. I just wish character interactions were easier to draw 😭 #I’ll figure it out. just need to fight my visualisation issues for a proper idea. brb #okay I’m almost at the tag limit so. in summary: #she 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

An mouse

#normal mousegirl art #sfw furry #why'd i draw myself like that #'in the void' would have worked better if i actually drew backgrounds #but i feel like the phrase really makes it

YIPPEE MORTIS ANGST!!! :D

HELLO you want to see my poor son suffering,, Enduring the worst times of his life,, Dealing with everything he was put through on his own cuz he had literally NOBODY to go to

Because if so...

So do I lol

#Grim answers #Y'all I got so much Mortis lore I'm stuck between wanting to do things in order or just exploring random snippets of his life #I prolly won't touch on his childhood because like he had shitty parents and the idea of drawing that kinda stuff saddens me :( #(Also I don't have a kid Mortis design lol) #How would y'all feel about me just dropped Mortis lore occasionally in the form of text posts pff #I kinda need to update y'all anyway because I recently revamped his story #But there's one thing I can't decide on and it's whether he grew up in Italy or in Mexico #Ye he's Italian and Mexican (Italian mother Mexican father) #I was stuck on the country because I myself am Italian so I understand the culture better and I even went to Italy when I was younger #But Mexico is closer to America which would justify why his family moved there better I think #I lowkey wanted to base his family's experience on my own grandfather since he was an Italian immigrant (except he moved to Australia) #But I also want to try and write a character that has a stronger connection to a cultural background I don't quite understand so I can- #learn more about it #Y'know I feel like us Italians get enough rep anyways pff #Even then Mortis is still Italian AND Mexican #But ofc depending on whether he grew up in Italy or Mexico would influence which culture he was closer to since it would be the one- #surrounding him and his family #Like how I grew up in Australia #My family still held the Italian 'values' but I wasn't quite as knowledgeable on the culture #Not until I grew up and learned about it myself and from my dad at least #So ye still deciding

[crimsonkenjii-writes]

Changed my theme!! Tried going for a purple celestial vibe but I kind of don’t like it now 💀💀 lmao even after all the effort I put into it too. I had a better image in my head and I feel like I didn’t translate it well. I’ll go to sleep and if I wake up and still hate it I’ll fix it lol

#feel like it’s all way too purple now lmao #gotta splash some more colors in there #maybe I should choose a prettier purple??? #AGH WHY ARE COLORS SO HARD TO SEE AND DICIPHER?!! #wish I could add more sparkles #like on the background color #but the website/app don’t have that feature lol #also have to find a better banner image #maybe I’ll draw one and or edit one myself when I wake up tomorrow #for now I should sleep #crimsonkenjii rambles

[americiumam]

yeah! you’re a normal guy! you post about the laundromat and you make incredible art of guys you think are cool! you post your reactions to various plot twists in a show I’ve never watched. you’ve listened to music in the rain and talked for ages about your favourite artists. you make friends incredibly quickly and always give them attention.

ur extraordinarily normal, my friend, and I love it

HEY LYNN I AM GOING TO CRY I LOVE YOUUUUUUUU 

#imay or may not have posted that to make myself feel better about how boring i am and this made me smile in class I LOVE YOU #also im responding to this on the tumblr website and idk how to insert reaction images but it gave me the option to insert a notes app drawi #drawing so this is what i made. the one in the background was an accident i tried to cover it w highlighter but ithink it looks funny and #captures my feelings so. yea. I LOVE YOU THANK YOU THIS IS SO SWEEEEEET #fav #friends :) #asks #imlove you ;-;

#lately its been hard to get back into my bgs studies #especially that now fanart and commissions have made me more money than any of my 'professional' art ever has #its not even a LOT of money but enough to let me even think about planning a day out with a friend without worry #idk man!!!!! #it can be very disheartening #years put into studying and never getting anywhere #but ive also put so much effort not to loose myself to that depression #and continue pushing myself to learn and get better #and i do in fact like drawing backgrounds #but i find myself less interested in learning so i can get into animation and more just so i can paint cool stuff for people and their ocs #sigh #and see #back in jan i finally just accepted that i dont really want to learn how to paint bgs or probs for shows #and just embraced a style i thought would be a waste of time #like whats the point if ur not putting ur all into making every part of ur stuff marketable for animation #whoose gonna want this? #ME i want this #ive never felt happier or prouder of my work than i have these last few months #and its crazy to think ive only been painting like this for a few months when it feels like its all ive ever been #anyways #i love you #and ENOUGH THINKING #least i fall into the horrors #i got more drawing to do HUWAH #😎👍

[sobredunia]
