So it turns out you can just buy old x-rays off ebay

#i had wire and a 3 dollar lamp from goodwill that had no shade #what else was i supposed to do? #handmade #arts and crafts #spooky #creepy #xray lampshade #bones #Halloween #once i figured out how to accurately cut the panels to the right size and shape #it went together pretty easy #and now my work office is that much cooler :)

updated Sleight ref!!

#i changed his colors !! #treat this as a suggestion than a solid ref. i spent like 3 hours drawing and redrawing the legs bc i couldnt get the shape right so if u #wanna draw them more planti or digi i do not mind ^_^ get silly with it!! same goes for pelt pattern do whatevr u want with it #the pelt pattern is loosely based on a snowshoe cat which was fun to play with. as u can see they kinda have a butterfly motif going on #if u squint the ear tufts kinda resemble luna moths or swallowtails with the long tail at the end of the wings #i was kinda torn about changing the costume color but it clashed too much with the new color palette so i had to change it #i didnt include the cape here so its easier to see the costume but ill draw it another time if i remember lol #its also a lil hard to see but i put pinstripes on their pants but thats optional. their design is pretty flexible anyway #god im pretty attached to this guy already. hes like semi fan character semi regular character... oc... thing #i should draw more furries. i followed some furry artists for giggles recently and its true what they say. u need furries in your life #btw while i was drawing this i was fooling around while trying to figure out his costume color and colored it as kaito kids suit for fun #and i just stared at it for a solid 5 minutes before saving a picture. maybe ill post it later #my art #myart #my oc #oc #furry art #fur #furry #laika's comet #laika's comet oc #fan character #sleight #ref sheet #oc ref sheet

How do you pick your colors? Your art style is so cohesive and i love the palettes you use!!

thank you! im a very intuitive artist, i think i draw frequently enough to know my preferences pretty well lol, but recently I’ve been enjoying working with somehow complementary colors?

like these don't look that similar but i did use the same 4 colors or so! i like to complement yellow/orange (skin) with teal (most of the clothes lol), I think they make each other pop rlly well

i also keep my palettes very minimal, i used the same blue hues for bokuto's hair, outfit, and the pigeons, too! same with deku’s outfits and hair, it’s the same color in different hues :)

i keep my palettes very minimal in general, i think its easier to create a somehow cohesive/harmonious palette and illustrations if you limit yourself :) as you can see, the colors I predominantly use are all hues of green and yellow, I let the overlay balance it all out and make it look less harsh I guess

also i don’t limit myself to fixed color palettes, i just use the same base color and overlay layer for most illustrations, I think those bring everything together even if I dont really know what I’m doing, i hope this helpssss

#A big part of art is just observing tbh #observe what you like and dislike. figure out your own patterns and why you gravitate towards certain art styles or mediums #or what kind of packaging or posters or fashion choices liik good to you #imo it’s easier to figure out what you want to create if you move through the world appreciating colors and shapes everywhere :) #I like children’s book illustrations a lot and kind of let those inspire me #but it can be anything #some products have rlly nice packaging you can also look at those for palette inspo! #asks

mina, lucy and our good friend jonathan

#dracula daily #mina murray #lucy westenra #jonathan harker #my art #cant believe im tagging classic litt characters on my tumblr post #while mina and lucy came to me very quickly i still cant figure out what jonathan is supposed to look like #also i cant remember if there was any actual description of the characters except for dracula so it might not be accurate #but you know what? my blorbos now. #lucy is in a ballgown because i thought if fitted her vibes and also it looked v pretty. tried to put heart shapes in her silhouette #i decided mina was the same height as jon but she wears heels making her look taller

Specifically relating to my latest post, but in general also: I feel like my attention span has gotten so bad these days in terms of actually finishing anything, to the point that the deflection/procrastination-projects get as silly as "builds a whole-ass 3D model instead of finishing the goddamn drawing because that's somehow easier than dealing with the perfectionism demon hovering over my shoulder when I draw these days"

(I think this why I'm trying to chase looser styles/play around with traditional media here and there again, since anything too precise starts to activate the Overthink Demon. I guess what I post is "oops! All sketches" anyway, but a lot of things still get overworked. Probably should start using timers again or something idk) Rarely do I actually "finish" models as well, which is generally why I don't post any (they are almost always studies/character reference models) but let's see if I can get around to making some Printable Little Guys this year, since frankly I find 3D a more comfortable medium to work in than outright painting/doing rendered-out stuff

Ramble post, but I'm always interested in the topic of "process" when it comes to art, and how struggles & limitations might actually help an individual find what their strengths really are too (or, just reveal areas that need more work. I DO want to finish a couple of the paintings in my WIP folder, but I also have accepted that it's not gonna be the natural medium for me ever) (I always try to include art in long text posts like this so they aren't as boring. Have a Banana Cat drawing I never uploaded. Also yes the printer HAS been added to my enclosure and it's great fun :> )

#jet squawkings #Jet art #IDK what the heck it is these days but Art Is Hard #might have something to do with the medium involved + always figuring/remembering more things out about how my brain likes to work #(being a strongly spatial thinker paired with aphantasia is a really funny combination) #(but I think it might partially explain why the “Pain” in PAINting is real whereas Making Shapes in Blender is super zen for me) #Head Full Many Thoughts about the whole “aphantasia” topic as well but I might save that for another post #long post

[non-plutonian-druid]

ever since i saw that one promo poster i’ve vaguely wanted to redraw it because it looked it had Fun Character Shapes. i finally did it and i was right, there *were* lots of Fun Character Shapes to draw. also, fun colors and patterns! thank you sparrow ben and klaus for your fashions

[ID: a colored, cartoony redraw of the Umbrella Academy season 3 promo poster that had all of the Hargreeves piled onto a hotel luggage cart. Klaus is lounging in the front, and Viktor sits in front of him. Diego, Five, and Allison are sitting on suitcases on the cart itself. Lila is standing on the cart in the back, Luther is standing on the ground behind the cart, and Sparrow Ben is pushing the cart from the left. All of them are looking worriedly into the middle distance. End ID.]

#tua #the umbrella academy #luther hargreeves #diego hargreeves #allison hargreeves #klaus hargreeves #five hargreeves #ben hargreeves #viktor hargreeves #lila pitts #sparrow ben #i dunno what his tag is or even if he has one separate from regular ben #my art #this is my first time drawing sparrow ben and i gotta say i had fun #his clothes are more fun than ghost ben sorry ghost ben #i missed drawing regular ben's hairstyle tho #pls enjoy my Various Hargreeves Shapes actually posing together instead of in a lineup #i also had to figure out what various geometric shapes to give lila bc i havent drawn her with the lineup before #also also someone take black shirts and black jeans away from the hargreeves almost all of them are wearing that with a colored top over it #branch out you guys. you all are twinning. is that what you want? to be twinning with your adult siblings/not-siblings/gf?

IDEA

Young Anton being flirty with young peppino

We gots old man yaoi but what about Young man yaoi

I imagine its something like they passed by each other occasionally when they were younger but lost connection for several years when peppino was drafted

#pizza tower #antonblast #peppino spaghetti #dynamite anton #peppiblast #drawing #digital mess #man there was an attempt at a younger anton #biggest challenge was figuring out what the hell his face shape is under all that dang scruff

obsessed w this movie recently

#this is a really really good movie to study artistically. composition and silhouettes and lighting/contrast. it has some good stuff #this guy has good shapes but i cant quite figure out how to draw his face #no country for old men #ncfom #anton chigurh #i gottaaa read the book !! #showed the traditional ones to my dad (which is weird i never show him my art) and he was like thats the guy from the little mermaid right. #and i was like what. um. ...no? who? #we went back and fourth for like 20 seconds b4 i realized he meant javier bardem was in the new little mermaid (which i didnt know!) #my art #fanart #no country for old men (2007)

I cannot figure it out #how do faces work #what even is my art style #anyways after I get over the ‘draw the character 10 times’ hurdle I’m sure I’ll be more comfortable drawing him #I really want to draw him with the full cap and cloak of his uniform more #and also ryutaro. #I need to draw ryutaro.

the gang turns into pokemon. idk

#pmd #iasip tag #pmd-ification #i dont want to tag anything else. i just want to lay down. #everyone else i got done in like. 2 seconds after figuring out what they would be. #but dennis took like. 2 hours just going back and forth trying to translate his face shape as much as possible onto a damn pokemon #bc to be honest there isnt a whole lot thats particularly distinguishable about his appearance otherwise. like yeah he wears a couple blue #shirts ig??? but. come on. all that and hes the only one that im not content with here😭 #oh well hopefully people will be able to tell thats him thru process of elimination ig😔 #my art
