Oh yeah so I am just gonna talk about it now because *cough* it’s probably gonna take a lil while longer to finish cause of schul *cough* so I shall now update you all on

MY PLANS—

SO this is both for myself and if y’all wanna know what I shall be doin or somethin—

Ok so—

Obviously, as I’ve said before, I’m gonna finish this next update for left behind, in which I have almost finished the line art for it, and then hopefully if I don’t give up on doin which I might do cause meh—, I’ll finish the ut dr anniversary drawing. WHICH I MADE THE SKETCH FOR IT on the day but ran out of time…. It’s also not the beeeest but if I do give up on it then I’ll just post the sketch with the next school doods post probably—.

But anyways, after that I am planning on trying to post less/draw less/ focus more on school stuff for a while, at least until I get the hang of things….. which I do not know how long that will take—.

Mainly decided this cause I’m getting distracted and I stress out a lot when I have to many things to do/ want to do, so I’m cutting off a bit for my brains sake.

However I DO also have plans for if I ever get free time and want to do some stuff.

Lemme find my notes—

Ok so 1st thing which I can do in any free time, also possibly if I go to this 1 club in my school that happened last year(art club) so I can get a specific time to do drawing stuff hehehe, is make some more oc references, which I’ll probably add onto artfight for next year. There’s only a couple I REALLY have been wanting to do for a while now, which I have in my notes—.

So that’s: that one Skeleguy, lollipop guy, pineapple baller guy (edit: also jimjam). And then some other guys I might do are: Dust! Undyne, Sun angel + lightning rainbow guy, minecraft sona stone golem guy, aaaaaand underscrungle guys.

Speaking of underscrungle, I’ll probably figure out some more roles for that, I’ll probs just right it down sometime—.

Ight ok, 2nd thing iiiiiiiis…… OH YEAH, also have mentioned before, but I might also work on another rottmnt x my ocs compilation. I have 2 clips in my head currently and there’s bound to be more. When will I work on this? I have an animation club starting up at my school so imma work on it 1 day of the week during that time. So probably will take a while to finish—.

Tttthhhheennnnnnnnnnnn……..OH ok so I will be working on setting up left behind and void gang. As in writing up what each update will be if that makes sense.

Cause for left behind. I have the basis written up, aswell as some lil short stories that’ll happen, but that’s it really. So the ending is finished really but I’m gonna layout the mini episodes that are taking place in chapter 1 and chapter 2. Actually cause I find it kinda funny let me show you the papers I have for the left behind writing—.

So as you can tell I am CLEARLY a very organized person— honestly half of this is all of chapter 3. I have to run through it all to find where my comic lore is currently at tho lol—

Worst part about that is that is that I go through—

—THESE OLD FRICKIN DRAWINGS OH MY GOSH—. THEY MAKE ME CRINGE EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THEM OOOUUUGHHH—

ANYWAYS—

Void gang I’m just gonna set it up but I’m trying not to get toooo detailed in that cause I want it to be more of a surprise…… if you can even call it that tho—.

Anyways, so that about it. There also probably won’t be AS many school dood drawings for the same reasons, but I’ll get like… 1 page at least done?

But yeah. OH ALSO I’ve had some character challenge thingies in my draft box for a while now that I’ll also probably get more time to do—. So yeah.

May/ probably will pop up every now and then in the meantime. So If I DO get any asks I’ll probably be able to answer them cause I can usually finish answerin them quick—. All of these plans probably look like I’m not ACTUALLY taking a chill period but in relation to what I planned on doing, it is. Uuuuuuuhhhhh anything else? …… OH yeah I am still gonna post undertale September stuff. Uuuuuuhmmmm.. so yeah.

Really, a summary for all of this is instead of trying to split drawing with school work like a 50 50 thing, I will be more focused on school and drawing will only happen at certain and random times when I am free—.

Sooooooo yeah. BUT THAT WILL START ONCE IM DONE THIS NEXT LEFT BEHIND PAGE. I have also just planned out today of how the next update will go so that’ll be the first thing to right down—

ANYWAYS IM I THINK IM DRAGGING THIS ON LONGER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE SO I SHALL SAY BUH BYE AND HAVE A GOOD DAY ALRIGHT SEE YA—

#ighty ight.#was gonna post this after I finish LB page but it’s taking slower process than I would like #and —like my brain likes to do— not postin this was also givin me a lil stress for some reason #so just decided to get it off my chest—#COOLIO #I guess it’s kinda like I’m goin on a hiatus? but then at the same time not….?#ok ok I am startin to ramble again—#PEACE OUT #*disintegrates*#have a good day #random stuff—#left behind #void gang

Hi, before I explain my post, I want to say something important.

What you see my blog has become a major overhaul. And despite the changes, I decided that my 2nd account will be now my artwork blog with a secret twist. SO PLEASE DO NOT SHARE MY 2nd ACCOUNT TO EVERYONE, IT’S JUST YOU AND ME! AND IN CASE YOU WANT TO SHARE MY POST THEN DON’T REBLOG IT. INSTEAD JUST COPY MY LINK AND PASTE IT ON YOUR TUMBLR POST! JUST BE SURE THE IMAGE WILL BE REMOVED AND THE ONLY LEFT WAS THE TEXT.

Okay? Capiche? Make sense? Good, now back to the post…↓

Title: Noteson, Brown and Wilson

Here’s my secret art trade for my A-Pal @bryan360, this month of April.🙂

I’m continuing making three way Bryan’s OCs artwork(s), but instead of my traditional with pencil, paper, color and scan, I decided to go digital with my graphics tablet and GIMP artwork (ver 2.10.24).📝🖍️✍️➡️🖋️🖥️

And although I used to be draw his OCs in traditional, there’s something that I want to talk about my Canon Lide 220 scanner...

• Last 1st day of April, while I’m finishing my April Fools comic art [CLICK ME!], I want to scan my old printed images with recent Canon scanner. Once I plug in through my computer... Well something happen... And it was un-respond. Something like this → [CLICK ME!].😟

• With that error message, I’m unable to use my canon scanner. Although I’m complete move to digital drawing tablet as my main art tool and I have no plans to return to my traditional art routes, I still need my canon scanner for scanning important document(s) and precious photoshoots from old decades.

• I tried to do troubleshooting by disassemble parts, wiping out the dust from inside and even re-install the scanner driver (from canon website), it didn’t solve my problem...😟

• My mom said to me that probably the USB Mini Cable was the one causing problems of my scanner, and thought to myself... "Maybe”. So I took her advice by ordering a new USB mini cable from Lazada app (I’ll show ya very someday), and hope for the best. Once my order was arrived, I immediately open and test it anyway. So how was it? Well, nothing it’s the same error as before.😟

Damn, so much for that... Now will I gonna find a replacement part for my canon scanner? Or buy a new one with a different brand? Who knows, this could be a difficult choice; even in the face of pandemic days...😷😔

For now, my canon scanner is half dead. It could a big chance to revive from repair, so I can finally use it once again...

Well that’s all I want share, and without further ado, here are the three OC’s that I drew for his (secret) ‘art trade’ request.

• Noteson: A musical cat born in UK, who loves to perform with his trumpet as his music tool of choice.

• Brown: He’s a Cartoon Network ultra fanatic squirrel, than anything else. He always hang out with his favorite CN friends such as, Chowder, Steven Quartz, Blossom, Finn the Human (Finn Mertens), etc... Hope he’s still safe from exploring CN world, just saying.

• Wilson: He calls himself “Long Ears”, due to his extended dog ears that he can do pretty much anything (as evidence from his artwork [CLICK ME!]); aside from flying. Something that Dumbo couldn’t do, despite he only do his ears was... Well flying, duh.

BTW: I’ll be thinking, that I do a remake of my Bryan360′s three OCs artworks from 2019 to 2020. Though it takes time to do that, so I’ll be do some free time if I can (one by one).

Anyways, hope you like it, bud.

Noteson, Brown and Wilson are owned by @bryan360.

Most of you have noticed already but there has been a huge lack of me posting recently. I have been having one of the most toughest artist times for a while. I've in this mood where I would be having major art block bit lots of motivation at the same time. When those two moods combine into one, it just makes one big mess of chaotic emotions. It's been going on for a long time. I'm stuck with my art at the moment. I'm just going to come clean and say it but doing art lately has been feeling like a tight and complicated stressful schedule for me. For months and months I've been having a mindset where I feel like I NEED to be posting constantly because I fear that if I dont, people would leave me. I fear that my account would just die and that my content wouldn't be relevant anymore. I hate that feeling. My art has been seeming like it's only meant to be posted to show that I'm active. My text posts or me answering questions now made me realize that I'm not even doing those for fun anymore! I'm only posting them to let people know that I'm still here. It really does seem like I'm working for some big company and that I have to post my work constantly and have to make sure it's all coming out perfectly, and its stressful. Now this is nobody's fault, this is just how I feel now.

I like to look back at some really old posts/art of mine to remember what it was like to feel more free. I miss the feeling of not caring about people's opinions on my interests. I miss the feeling of posting whatever I wanted and posting whenever I wanted. I want to go back to that and I am for sure going to work hard on getting back to that. I've honestly have been so scared to post art now. I miss posting about ships I like, about stupid comics, about my silly fnaf ideas, about my other interests but people's judgments and opinions all of a sudden matter to me now. It has started being that way ever since my account started getting bigger and bigger. I would get attacked for bringing up a thing I like or a thing I'm into and it really scared me and made me not want to share my opinions or interests ever again. I absolutely despised constantly having that feeling. That all ends now. I want to be down to earth with everyone because ya know, I'm human too.

Okay now let's talk about what I wanna do with my art. My art has been feeling repetitive and bland to me. I dont want that. For the past time I would mention stuff like "posting this soon!" Or "get ready for a new post Tomorrow!" And then never post it ever. Why? Because plans dont work out all the time. I only post art I'm satisfied with so if my art takes forever to post or just gets cancelled on posting then that's that. I do feel bad, but I'd rather have art up that makes me happy too. The fnaf 2 art I said that I was gonna post? Yeah, not happening. It's not turning out as I wanted so sorry for missing out on the fnaf 2 anniversary:(

Speaking of fnaf, I am still going to continue drawing it. But I've been wanting to draw other content too for the longest time. The reason why I dont post other content more is because nobody is interested in it. It doesnt get as much attention as my fnaf art. That used to not bother me but the thing is I cant keep doing fnaf content forever so I care now. I want to post more about my ocs and their wacky world. I want to post about other fandoms, even fandoms that I'm not even into! I have been dging to post overwatch but held back on that because the whole blizzard controversy happened and I was scared that people would hate me to post overwatch at such a bad timing like that. I've been into overwatch for years and have been wanting to post art about it but didnt because I was very self conscious on my human style. But now that I figured it out, things went all over the place. For those of you who dont know, I've also had an overwatch blog years ago but deleted it later cause I didnt like how the blog turned out. I am going to post overwatch art in the future cause ive enjoyed the game for years now. What blizzard did was terrible and I'm not on board with it so please dont hate me, I just really like the OW characters. ANYWAY, I WAS HAVING A PANIC ATTACK AND RANTED OFF TRACK BUT YEAH. I WANT TO EXPAND MY ART A LITTLE.

And last thing. I've said it before, but I HATE feeling like my art has to be on a schedule where theres deadlines and where I have to post constantly. I'm having mini burnouts. So to all those people who sent messages about me not posting anymore or about my account dying, I want to let you know that my account is still alive and will have posts. Please understand that if I am taking forever to post something new, I am trying to figure things out. I am trying to figure out time management for school and art. I am trying to figure out things on my art style. I am trying to figure out new ideas for big projects I wanna do. I am trying to figure myself out and I dont need to be rushed. I am an artist and I am free to do what I want and post whenever I want. Art is for fun and for stressing myself out.

THERE, THERE I FINALLY RANTED IT ALL OUT. It was an extremely long rant, but I really needed to get it off my chest. Again, nobody is at fault here and nobody is forcing my wack behavior to be like this, it's just some thoughts I need to get out of my head. You are all important and matter to me so I have to be honest with everyone. I cant keep hiding away. I'm just some teen wacko girl that wants to draw characters and be friends with you cool weirdos :)

Love you all💖

Edit: I am so sorry if my rant made no sense and is all over the place or if it somehow upset people, that wasnt my intent. Its 2am and I'm all panicky so I had to rant sO THAT I CAN SLEEP

Anon said: Um so hello, I’m just here to say keep up the awesome work, I love your kiribaku art and it’s adorable and I go on binges through your blog (omg I sound so creepy I’m sorry I just love ur art so much) and it makes my day so yeah please keep drawing!

Ahhhhh you don’t sound creepy at all, don’t worry!!!!! Thank you so much for liking my stuff that much!!!!!!! <3<3

Anon said: May ask what kiri///mina would look like in your style? You don't have to draw it if you don't like the ship.

Gosh sorry but I really really don’t ship it!

Anon said: you know how I miss?? your OCs!!! they're the cutest!!

AWE thank you so much!!!!!!! I have a few comics planned for them, hope I’ll manage getting to them soon enough!!! (oT^T)9<3

Anon said: This is so sappy but some of your kiribaku posts really make me really appreciate long relationships! I’ve always found pining and crushes the cutest bc it’s full of intense feelings, but you portray being in love and accepting each other so well!! it’s amazing how you show characters interacting with each other and being so comfortable instead of worrying about hiding part of themselves and long story short I love your art and ideas so much

This ask!!!!!!!!! means the universe!!!!!!!!!! to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so glad I can manage portraying love in such a way, I’m so in love with the idea of open, accepting love, andI try seriously hard to make it look healthy in my comics so!!!!!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no clue how many times I’ve reread this ask I’m not even exaggerating TT^TT <3

Anon said: I just want to start off by saying you’re my favourite blog on tumblr, your art is incredibly adorable and always makes my day!! I was just wondering how you were able to create your own unique art style? It’s something I’ve been struggling with a lot lately with my own art. Any advice is appreciated, thanks for everything you do!!

I think it’s about finding the right spot between what feels comfortable for you and the end you’re using your art for? In my case what’s comfortable is something fun and smooth, and the main end has always been to be able to draw comics - I’ve always liked comics because I like writing and I like drawing, but my attention span was too short to manage finishing them, and the way I had of drawing was too stiff to properly convey emotions the way I wanted to, which made drawing comics sound like an impossible dream haha I fixed it by simplifying my style, by taking away or reducing to the bare minimum everything that took me ages to work out/draw and pushing my expressions and body language to extremes to make up for the lack of details.

That’s just my experience with it, though! The best advice I can give you is to sit back and look at your current way of drawing from an objective perspective - do you enjoy it? Is the process of drawing something you’re comfortable with? What’s uncomfortable in it for you, and in which ways could you change it to make it comfortable and fun? Does your current art style allow you to do what you want to do with your art? If you want to paint, does it allow you to paint in an easy and fun way? If you want to make comics, does it allow you the range to properly portray a character moving and living without making you wish you’d never started drawing halfway through it?

Imho the first step to find a style that’s your own and feels right is to find a style that’s fun to use and doesn’t stress you to hell and back every time you pick up your pencil. This is easier to do the more things you attempt, so for a bit being inconsistent in style is a good and normal thing - try things out! The best one for you will definitely stick in the end. And if you already feel comfortable with the way you have of drawing, then hell! You already have a style that works for you! Just because to you it doesn’t look unique and special it doesn’t mean that it isn’t - if you asked me to point out what makes my style unique I wouldn’t be able to tell you either, the way I see it my style is the most uninteresting and common-looking style out there. To be honest with you that’s probably just how it is for every artist out there hahaha

Anon said: Hi!! I love your art and just want you to know I always get a big, stupid smile on my face whenever I see you cross my feed, whether it’s something new or a reblog of an old post. Everything you do is just amazing and I love it

AHHHHHHH Thank you so so much!!!!!!!!! (TT^TT)<3<3<3

Anon said: Hey Fran! First off, thank you for the Fire Force art. I remembered to actually check it out, after seeing it lol. Second, I still can't find your Fatgum 😭😭 the link didn't give any, and searching on your page didn't help either. I WILL FIND IT ONE DAY

I think it’s a problem of the app orz I can see him just find from desktop but the app can’t find him either T-T stupid app!

Anon said: Do you have a mini Bakugou and Kirishima living in your head? Are they just living their lives up in your brain and that causes your hand to to write and draw the most perfect and accurate things? Of course mini Kaminari, Sero, Mina, Jirou, etc. also come to visit your head hole from time to time and just chill with mini Baku and Kiri. That’s the only logical explanation on how all your Bakushima content is so inconceivably spot on

That’s such a kind thing of you to say, anon!!!!!! I’m glad you find them that IC!!!!!! I try my best, but sometimes I admit I just have them do and say stuff I’ve done and said myself, the only difference is that I word things in a way that feels right for their usual way of talking hahaha

Anon said: I personally would love to read your essay on why bakugo is the best character ever because I really really really want to love him that much but i feel like there's something that I'm just not getting about him- there's something I'm missing about his personality (keeping in mind that i kinda left the manga after the whole mirio/8 precepts arc). I've always found bakugo compelling and would love love love to read your take on him! Hope you have a great day!

Bakugou has had some amazing character development scenes after the overhaul arc!!!!! He’s outright shown he understands where he was lacking and where he was wrong, that he’s perfectly capable of working in a team and letting people help him and helping them in return, that he cares about his class and how the rest of the world sees them! (and that he worries/cares about how the world sees him too, actually, that broke my heart a bit ;; ) We haven’t seen him in a hot minute by now, but most of anything before the current arc has had him improve and develop and become even better than he already was - I’ve always thought him a good guy with just a lot of troubles relating to the world around him due the way he has been brought up as special and different (it creates a drift between yourself and the rest of the world when everyone around you keeps treating you as if you were other - when you tell a kid he’s different and better for his whole life he’s bound to grow up believing it, after all), but if the problem you have with him is that he isn’t showing the good in himself plainly and obviously enough, then the arcs after the overhaul one are gonna help you like him better, definitely

Well, the thing about Bakugou is that he’s not a plain/obvious character, so you need to think about his actions and his words a bit more, and can’t just take him at face value - it’s what I like about him, actually! How much you need to think about him to figure him out on a deeper level than just the surface one. Since I dunno why you like him and why you feel something’s missing, I can’t tell you specifically what it is in the way I see him that completes him for me, but as I said I try to keep him as IC as I can so probably reading my comics about him might help you understand the way I see him. To me Bakugou’s honest, and kind, and loving, but he’s also arrogant, and angry, and used to taking some things for granted, and I like how all those things work with and against each other in his character. He’s at the same time incredibly proud and absurdly insecure, and I like that about him too - where each comes from and where and how they clash, I like the complexity it gives him. I like that he’s a people person in the sense that he likes having people around himself, and I like that at the same time UA is the first time he’s had actual, honest to god best friends, and how that means that he’s gonna be awkward when usually he’s so sure and proud simply because he isn’t used to having people he actually specifically cares for, I very much like that about him. I like that he overthinks everything he doesn’t immediately gets, I like that he still acts on instincts more often than not, I like that somehow with him those two aren’t mutually exclusive. I like that he’s smart and still so damn dumb, I like that he’s just as simple-minded as he is an actually labyrinth in thought process, I like how one-track minded he is even on the most silly things - how once he sets his eyes on a goal he goes for it like his life depends on it. I like that he’s barsh and rude and impulsive in what he says and does, but when he fucks up he knows he fucked up, and he backstracks, and he does his best to make amends. I like that he sits in stupid ways and has the worst posture in the class and then he wears his hero costume and suddenly he’s a model on the catwalk, that’s so damn endearing to me. I like how ridiculously hyperbolic he is and how he just assumes people will get it, get what he actually means, like there’s a point between his brain and his mouth were things get blown out of proportion and he doesn’t even realize it. There’s just so many things to love about him, for me!!

But most importantly I like that he started as low as he could get and that because of it his plot is a one way towards the summit. I like it. I like watching a character grow and every new chapter become a better version of themselves, I love it. Ultimately that’s probably why he’s my favorite, after all haha

Anon said: Hi, this isn’t a question but I just wanted to say how much I love your art and the way you clearly appreciate Bakugou as a character. So many of my friends hate him, but I think he has a lot of depth and so much potential. Your art always makes me smile! Thanks for doing what you do. :)

THANK YOU and thank you for liking the boy too!!!!!!! He deserves it, he absolutely does deserve it!!!!!!! <3<3<3

Anon said: I just went digging in the archives of my blog (which is.. a mess) and found some old art of yours (like... I'm talking bokuto and kuroo level old) and g o s h. I already loved your art so much then and I still do n hhhhhhhh u go. U great.

Gosh you’ve been around a long time then!!!!! Thank you so much for sticking with me all this time!!!! ✨o(TT0TT)o✨

#fran answers #long post #sorry for disappearing on all of you btw!!#some of you might know already but i've spent most of the last week consuming stuff more than producing it haha #sometimes i need that too

do you have anything big planned for your ocs 👀

Im glad u know that the one thing ill always be prepared to go off about at any time is my ocs. 5 paragraph essay below

i just did that album redraw that i REAlly fucking liked the vibes of and want 2 plaster everywhere but thats like. the most inspired ive been. there is that mockumentary comic i did that i liked but i need to plan for another one and it will take More planning so it feels less like a backstory dump and more like a natural storytelling conversation. there’s this one comic i did with undead gang (oz n farrow) way back when on my ds that i rlly liked the dialogue flow in so ill just. hav 2 get myself back in that specific zone

i also want to animate again but i. *clenches fist* i hate animation, my main art laptop is falling apart and its so annoying to try and get to turn on so ive been having to animate gifs only on my chromebook.

other than that i dont have anything big planned, theyre all just kinda. vibing. the ask blogs exist and i still have some asks to do but. *turgles* i feel like they’re all (mostly) crack so ill just wait until i feel like drawing crack answers

i sketched out some parent designs for rascal and farrow that i really liked (or at least rascal’s, still experimenting with how the fuck the latter looks) so i’m glad abt that, im hoping to work on rascal a bit more sometime lol

aaaand last but not least idk if it counts my my animal crossing island is salem! it isnt like. a cohesive thing but i am planning to make my oc canon salem’s forest and lake if i can...i already have a dense forest in the top right with a bonfire and cauldron to reference the crucible forest ritual!!! i want to get something that resembles a human or two in there, but im still peeved that mannequins aren’t in this game. they were the BEST for storytelling islands.i hope they get added. anyways im also building a mini wheat farm next to antonio’s house (im trying to craft the silo but i need clay) and i already have a graveyard im breeding black flowers for, and even a funny murder basement for my house bc i saw a tool rack and was like “wow this reminds me of the show dexter.”

....i realize that’s very, very weird but i like designing rooms and sometime su need to have one (1) fucked up horror room

#since you cant have like. multiple villagers under one account anymore.#i was thinking of dedicating a room or two to a themed oc room #but ehhh. im thinking of making mendel's study but thats it #maybe an insect drawing room hehe #i have 3 rooms idk what to use for #the right room is just pitch black w a microwave #sorry this became an ac ramble #rambles #ocs #ask #anon

Artist spotlight: LEMONSQUEAZIE!

✿ Ko-fi ✿ Twitter ✿ Tumblr ✿ Youtube

Header source: [X]

Introduce yourself Hi! I'm Lem and I've wanted to try focusing on things other than people in my work for a while now! I'm into deltarune, mystic messenger, and (recently) Moomin! When did you start drawing? Are you a digital or traditional artist? I started drawing seriously in 2012 when a friend got me to learn how to draw with them! I'm a digital artist! Do you use any traditional mediums? If so, which are your favorites? Yes! I'm in love with brush/calligraphy/fude pens and watercolour!

image source: [X] Why do you prefer traditional over digital? (or viceversa) I get to explore colours more easily without having to worry about soaking the paper, mixing wrongly, or even running out of supplies! What do you think is the most challenging part about being a traditional/digital artist? In the beginning there's definitely the transition to smoothly using digital art! It takes a while to use it so comfortably and freely that your digital sketches have the same life as your traditional ones, which I think is why some people still make their sketches on paper and transfer it over to finish in digital! What inspires your pieces? Feelings! They're very momentary and hard to accurately remember so I suppose finding ways to capture them and package them in a picture is a very strong inspiration for me ◝(●˙꒳˙●)◜

image source: [X] Explain your "everyday" drawing process I begin from a vague idea of the general feeling of a piece and the elements that should be in it, eg. the feeling of wonder + grass being pushed by the wind + some flowers at the side Then I just throw around some sketches of how to arrange these elements and what colours I could use! I make tweaks and when it seems nice enough I merge the sketch and colour layer and just start painting from there! Eventually I'll settle on what seems to be the finished piece and I adjust the colours and details again before properly saving it as a flat image! Do you have an artist you admire (or more than one)?

Oh I have a few! My favourites so far are:rollround ( https://twitter.com/rollround ) Cheryl's colours just make everything look so fun and alive! The way everything is both so detailed and comfortably simplistic/soft just speaks to my heart! I look forward to their prints the most every time I go to an artist alley!PlanetarianPwes ( https://instagram.com/planetarianpwes ) Pwes' faces and the way they use watercolours is just so good, and their OCs and AUs have such good stories behind them and the most interesting and varied designs I've seen! Following along with their characters' journeys shows you just how good their storytelling through their AUs is! I admire the most how they can manage to convey not only atmosphere but narrative as well!vi-6w6 ( https://vi-6w6.tumblr.com ) Annie's art was basically my role model in my early art years since I'm always in awe of how energetic and dynamic they are! Just her style and the way she lays down lines alone is enough to make even a static pose feel alive!tc2oh ( https://twitter.com/tc2oh ) Semi's colours and comics are amazing! The way they choose colours to make things look almost holographic at times, and just their general colour sense is my favourite thing! Even without that, their lineweights make their artwork stand out even in their comics! Also they draw lips so so good! I fell in love first in semi's comic (bomic) which is on line webtoon! Is there an artwork you are most proud of? Why? Yes! this guy ( https://twitter.com/lemonsqueazie/status/1118126304698613762 ) was actually made when I was switching art programmes to krita and finally got the hang of it! It's also the piece that got me out of my mini art-block at the time, I think!

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing? I usually just let youtube autoplay take me around a bunch of popular Japanese songs and artists like eve and kenshi yonezu and recently kamiyama you, and also the occasional utaite! Otherwise I go to find some friends' playlists or use my own (which is literally just a giant collection of things ranging from kazoo covers (you know the ones) to musicals and live concerts), I'm not all that picky!

image source: [X] What makes art interesting for you? At its most basic it gives my hands something to do and that's always nice, but being able to create something that can always continue to exist and hold so much meaning that can keep changing is really neat, I think! What do you do when art block strikes? My main go-to is to switch mediums for a while (eg. going back to traditional, or even grabbing art materials I haven't used in a while, or switching programmes, or trying out new brushes) before going back to what I needed to finish! But recently I've been trying to focus on what's been causing the art block: eg. If I'm frustrated with drawing faces, I doodle a bunch of faces in a different and more indulgent way than I usually do before going back to what I was doing!If the problem is getting motivation to start, I watch speedpaints! Seeing how something so beautiful can start from absolutely nothing and work its way through to completion is my favourite thing ♡ What’s the most valuable art advice you’ve ever received?

"Aim to finish" or something along those lines! It was for a design project of sorts, but it's one of the most important things I need to take into account more often ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` ) especially in zine work! Oftentimes I can't pinpoint when the work is complete and is better to leave as-is and I'm working on finding and planning completion points too!

Journey of the Heart Update

So you guys have probably seen a lot of stuff on my blog about mermaid versions of the Cardcaptor Hanna characters. These are from a separate fanfiction known as Journey of the Heart, or JOTH for short. It is technically a Little Mermaid fanfiction, with some Cardcaptor Sakura crossover elements thrown in. This was one of the first stories that @rememberingmermaids (AKA Suki) and I worked on together, and we have been working on it’s 3rd version for a few years now. We are currently 38 chapters into the writing stage, yet aside from a few concept drawings and a fun short (yes, we have more of these planned too), we’ve yet to release anything pertaining to the actual story it’s self. This is about to change.

At this point, JOTH is being planned for two separate releases. A visual novel programmed by my wonderful new boyfriend, and a proper Tumblr comic. The VN is going to be released first, to help drum up interest in the story. I will be doing the art, my boyfriend the programming, and Suki and I will of course be writing the story. We’d like it to be a proper visual novel, with choices, slight story divergences, and possibly even mini-games. I’m thinking that the initial release will have 5 chapters, with subsequent chapters being added as updates. Perhaps we could even build up an audio crew once interest in the series increases. That’s a big if, I ain’t made of money.

As for the comic, I personally have a lot of reservations about the comic. I’ve already got a lot of work on my plate, between the Cardcaptor Hanna comic, my YouTube channel, creating VN assets, ect. Not to mention I’m still not confident in my ability to create visually appealing underwater backdrops, props, and especially non-humanoid characters. In a story where a good chunk of reoccurring characters are fish; crabs; eels; octopi; mantas; sharks; ect, this is a very intimidating task to me. I’d really like to find a second artist to help with these aspects. Someone who can go in and draw all these extra things for me after I’ve gone in and added the other characters and set the scenes. The most likely scenario is that I could find someone to add the basic sketches to what I’ve already drawn, and then I’ll take that and finish everything up. If I could happen upon a second, or even a third helper, I could assign one to aquatic life and/or backdrops, and one to linearts. This of course requires an interest in the story, which will only occur once people have the opportunity to experience it. This is why I want to wait on the comic until after I’ve seen how the VN does.

If you’ve seen my update post about Cardcaptor Hanna, then you might already know that I have plans to color that comic and make more music videos pertaining to the story. Those videos would of course be a separate thing, and merely just something fun to do on the side using songs that I think suit my OC’s and the adventures they have. I’d like to do something similar with JOTH. JOTH is a story which is canonically intended to have songs. Some of these songs have already been released on my YouTube channel, including alternate lyric versions of If I Could Take That Moment Back from Tangled the Series, and Because of You by Kelly Clarkson. I would love to turn these into actual music videos once I have enough artwork to do so. I will probably wait until the comic is much further along to make these though.

As for the songs themselves, I am much more confident in my ability to perform these covers. These are not the official versions of the songs though, and are only meant to demonstrate my vision for how these songs would be handled. I’d really like to find voice actors to play these characters, and have them perform the songs much better than I could ever hope to do. Right now, however, that is a pipe dream.

So, what do you guys think about this current plan? Are you interested in seeing the final result? Would you be willing to help us out with art, music, or voice acting? Please let me know by either re-blogging, commenting, or sending me an anon ask if you’re shy. Got any ideas for how I can improve upon this plan? I’d love to hear from you guys and get your input.

Tues & Thurs are most important!! thumbnails turned in by Tues (via patreon), early comic post on Wed, and publically on Thurs (via IG+twitter)

So I’m working on “following through”. Commissions get rough, but this is the easy part of the job. I have NO idea what a job in the industry would be like. I have no idea what art-related job I’d even want, but it is necessary to gain exp this way. Building connections and networking is every artist’s enemy. I want to get rid of the insecurities, artist’s should be confident, we are the one’s with the talent after all. --back to following through....it’s easy for things to get messy but I’ll trust in the system I’m building for myself rn. It’s currently Monday, tomorrow I’ll have a schedule ready by the hour.

“what if you sleep in or what happens if the plans de-rail??”

RIDE THE WAVES LITTLE ONE

make more ocs

practice things & study thru skillshare

okokokokok I’m already overwhelmed!! here! listen to this:

youtube

take a break bb, take a deep breath, maybe meditate or journal? get some exercise, stretch a bit? take a quick shower, need water? banana?? or a snack? literally listen to your body. I believe meditating is checking in on yourself mentally, take a hard long look in the mirror. Usually my eyes look tired, and sometimes I could ignite a spark and feel very inspired, the goal is to get that without weed or coffee.

First part of my “morning ritual” is drinking something hot, sitting in the sun, watering my plants, thinking and writing my thoughts! Those days truly feel the freshest, and it feels like I’m taking care of myself by just checking in. I need to be more aware of how my sluggishness can stain others, by not communicating. I’ve been more to myself lately, the mature thing is to let others know “hey I’m not feeling so good, i’d like some alone time please”. I avoid phone calls and texts from loved ones, and (try to) answer to every instagram interaction. I have to remind myself, REPLY TO THAT TEXT YOU ALREADY OPENED IT. I act like if I cant see it, it cant see me LOL

\\ I wish running away wasn’t my thing. //

PS Listen to this song LMAAOOO

ok well, i guess ill get back to work! Come back for updates :)))))

Undertale Comic, Now or Later Question...

Thank You, and Happy Hunting or well Questioning (so to speak). And Welcome to the world of the Undertale Comic ‘Shattered Remnants’

(Skip down to the Italicized portion for the actual question to Undertale and fans of undertale comics, though anyone can be involved with asking questions)

Hey everyone, man the last year was rough on me. Not only have I failed to post my fanfictions and art from DA and Fanfiction on here, but I’m falling behind on doing the same to AO3.... Anyways that’s not why I’m here or what’s important to say...

I’m in the process of making an Undertale comic, having recently come into the fandom. I was well inspired while making a fanfiction into creating a comic based around certain events in my fanfiction, but standing as it’s own story that will separate/detach itself from the fanfiction I’m writing into an entirely new story and narrative.

However, with that said. Though I’m not a fan of such (of personally doing so) I often include OC’s in my work as I feel I can’t really claim something as my own like a story and even art without having something that I own in it. This is my personal beliefs towards myself and the way I work when I go to write stories (trust me I’ve tried my hand at not doing this and attempting the opposite, but I always seem to back off last minute and add a main character eventually that I own)

Though in this case of both my comic and fanfiction it’s sorta necessary otherwise the story I created wouldn’t make sense without the characters I own… Or frankly even exist.

If you're curious the story centers around Frisk’s family above ground (from earth) and what exactly transpired with them. What has occurred in the time of his disappearance and what efforts the community at large are giving towards finding the missing child. I came to the conclusion to write this, as besides seeing a room at the end of the game in the neutral run, there isn’t much if at all that we can actually perceive about his life above ground. Besides the facts that are revealed by his room and that he can easily accept the idea to be adopted. There isn’t much after the fact that we can surmise. E.G. is his family alive? Abusive? Dead? Is Frisk in fact an orphan? None of this is known. Although it’s widely accepted (or so I’ve seen) that he’s in fact an orphan. I’m still led to wonder what in fact happened to his family that would lead him to a place such as Mount Ebott. And thus this story was born. It delves into that idea of his family, and what consequences or events have occurred in the city/town he once called home since the time of his disappearance. For years I was a criminology major, I had to study the mental, physical, and community effects of children going missing. As well as those infamous cases that go national. How media likes to find people to condemn, and how sadly communities on their own do the same. It’s a hard reality what happens in these cases. It became something of interests when wondering these questions for myself and considering what in fact would a child rather Frisky, going missing who may not have family left look like.

The comic itself differentiates itself from the main story at the climax of the first act and centers itself more into the middle of the second act of my story. Where it has become it’s own narrative with the same characters and only sharing the background with the original fanfiction. Although, it may have a few differences in even the background (as I’m making the comic like I said entirely it’s own story). As stated above, the comic centers itself around the events after the main team/group found themselves in the underground world seeing it has no official name I called it ‘Underlin’ (Under-l-in) The team by unfortunately lamentable circumstances have been separated in this deadly underground hell. That’s all I’m actually giving for now. I feel giving too much will spoil the story. Or at least where we begin in the comic, and how I move about the other spectrum of the fanfiction. And besides I want to see what questions you send in, as I may use those to give more info on the story itself. However, I infer that you please don’t ask questions intentionally about plot or stuff to do with the main story just the characters here themselves. As that will be answers later for you. Although, you can ask about them and characters in Undertale, like how they would likely interact with each other, stuff like that no biggie (I’m not limiting the reactions to just the oc characters, as I will happily include Undertale characters reacting to possibly certain things they say just as well or in classic Sans fashion interrupting the point for example (I won’t give away what I plan on characters doing, after all that will ruin the fun). Just don’t expect them (or have me write the characters responses) to give away any specific crucial plot details. Those will come later revealed in the stories I’m telling themselves. This is really all just for fun and kicks while I’m working on the first few episodes of the story and also the little mini episode comic that I made to go with the main story just for kicks. As I sit creating this, expanding the intro, and even having one or two minor spin offs that I’ll post around the time of the first chapter/episode/prologue episode. I began to realize today that Unlike the fanfiction (which will be slower on updates then probably the comic itself) I’m probably posting this without people getting a full depth of my characters. Most of whom for the sake of the comic will hang more as memories in the background. Except maybe a select few for when I need them and one that is obviously in the forefront with the main characters. Still each of them have reasons of importance in the comic. Considering this, before I post the story or even a sub story connected to it in comic form.

Would you guys like me to do a little ‘Question and Answer Panel’ with the characters to get to know these OC’s a little better?

I know often people do this after somethings become popular. I feel using this method here would better prepare people for the characters, to relate with them when they come around then just being blindsided by a new individual in the picture (I feel like Sans would make that a joke considering picture and comic could go hand in hand as a joke, couldn’t think of one at the moment of posting though so just pointed it out). Anyways, I’ll open it for you guys to ask whatever questions you want. I’ll give maybe a week if I get enough interests/questions (depending on how quickly I get responses) and at most a month to send questions aimed at specific oc’s or all of them to get an idea of who they are. I did this because I feel drawing the characters reactions to the questions would be more fun then me just making a dull description because interesting things can come out of it.

Anywho, out of the few OC’s I have, the ones who are mostly my “main” OC’s are:

~Dalean ‘Dale’ Bentley Kewish

~Benji ‘Ben’ Rufus Euphoria

~Kyleen ‘Kyle’ Olive Tenison

~Nova Jordan ‘N.J.’ Leander Kewish

And MAYBE… ~Douglas ‘Doug’ Quinten Carter

With one or two question slot that you’ll hopefully find adorable for: Baby and Pupkin ‘Buppie’ and no that last one is not a misspelling.

Can’t wait to hopefully see questions you have to ask for these characters that I can make a little fun comic style for them to answer. No question is off limits (Except anything vulgar, please I’m trying to keep it PG-PG-13 at most) Remember there’s no stupid questions, only stupid decisions (Couldn’t think of anything better. And yes-yes that does make me sound like a pretentious teacher now doesn’t it) Have fun asking questions. I’ll have character drawings out soon of each character so we can exclude questions of what they look like and such from the question poll.

Thank You, and Happy Hunting or well Questioning (so to speak). And Welcome to the world of the Undertale Comic ‘Shattered Remnants’ And So It BEGINS...

Always Yours, Blurr’s Girl Blazin’ Blaze

what are the stories/projects you work on or involved with?

EDIT 2019: FOR AN UPDATED LIST, GO HERE!

Oh gosh, it’s been a bit since I did a rundown of them… (I need to update my project lists tbh… ugh..) I’ve been working really hard on consolidating my characters and stories these last few years so I’m rightfully proud of my progress.. Even if no one can tell yet but me!! >8//);

Despite how many we have, only a few of them I seriously want to bring to completion and/or publish first and foremost. The rest are really just for fun until I/we feel like they could become something bigger. Also, Dye has involvement in most of my stories whether it be a full collab or just helping!

It’s a long post… so, BELOW THE CUT WE GO!

Collaborations

(with @dyemelikeasunset)

Ocean of Cycles: Our 4th Collab- Dye’s world-building project that I have the honor of helping flesh out. While we have our OCs and want to make it RPG ready for others to play in for fun, and we think making a book of the completed world-building someday would be fukken awesome, it’s largely a stress relief and creative outlet for Dye and I, so we’re not in a rush nor can Dye’s schedule allow for full-time work on it. Like Dye, I would like to do mini-comics about their adventures myself as well!!

Picture This Imagine That: (sorry this art is 4yrs old… T//w//T) Our third collaboration; Started small but became our means of reconciling our identities and coming out. After we came out some years ago, we put this one down to handle real life stuff and grow up a bit- but we do still fully intend to draw and publish their stories, we just took it offline and pulled back to a much more relaxed pace until it’s actually ready.

Solaris: Our second collaboration. Originally an Avatar: The Last Airbender fanstory, transplanted into an original universe. I’d really love to bring this one to life as a comic, but the plot hasn’t been finished yet! We love this one to bits though and I’d consider it a likely choice down the road sometime.

White|Outlines: Technically our first collaboration, a soft slice of life about troubled supernatural teenagers. My branch in the same universe/highschool as Dye’s SalaDays story (No, the SD cast doesn’t really interact with mine) I made this because Dye used to have the world open for RP, but we’ve long since closed it off. (That’s more geared toward OoC now) I don’t really have plans for pursuing this one outside of for fun!

Unlucky: A fun slice-of-life meets shounen kind of story set in a tightly knit chinatown. Dye helped create the bulk of this verse for a lot of homeless/floating OCS, like Quinn and Airi from my old beckoning cat magical girls team, Jake and Evelyn from anirangers, Tyberius and Farah from wwp’s “D’Amatos” godfather-parody show… stuff like that. It’s a bit more on the world-building side right now but I hope to draw things for it soon.

I also play around in or help with some of Dye’s more solo works like Kingdoms or Romaine Hearts, as well as a few offline projects that aren’t super involved/developed yet.

Magical Girls:

(yes it gets its own section)

Forecasters: My lovebaby of a story, featuring weather magical girls. My only active personal project that I want to make into a full blown webcomic right now. It’s 99.7% offline atm, I started this in 2013 after we put down PT. There’s still a lot to do, but I’m really excited about this one. It’s like my self-imposed college final project and/or legitimate story pitch I guess? I wanna post promo art for it so bad but I want at least the first two chapters drawn before that so bear with me…

Starless: Alien powered magical girls. Created from old (2008) tokyo mew mew OCs! The story’s been a bit ambiguous lately but I am very fond of this one and would consider it one I’d like to complete/draw for someday if the plot lets me WRITE IT lmao. Dye is helping me by adopting some of the characters!

Minor MG Stories: (click the link in the last bullet to see pics of these)

“Book Keepers”: Literature theme college magical girls, collabed with Dye. Currently just a loose idea with really fun fleshed out OCs, but not a super high priority.

“Candyland”: NEW! Candy themed magical girls. A tentative title for a bunch of OCs I’ll be posting soon enough so I guess I’ll add them now. Some of them are old af, some are super new. They’re just an early concept and a bit of a style-experiment.

Cheers!: Drink-themed magical girls. A very old team I don’t really plan on doing anything with right now, just currently trying to redesign them to my liking.. -stares holes into them- LET ME LOVE YOU

Cosmic Club! another design prompt with no story.. YET…. I love them and they seem v popular so it’s possible! We’ll see how it goes.

Even more magical girls over here in this list but are all in a similar ‘concepts only at this time’ status (Lucky is on this list but is no longer a magical girl series)

My Projects:

Shards of Moon: A fateful fantasy epic about birds and songs. Formerly Anathema, the first fully fleshed out “serious” story I wrote… It was terrible! It was merged with another story that had no characters, so all my oldest OCs live here now. I’m very very fond of this one but I’m letting it percolate very slowly. It’s a far off goal for now, but it is shaping up to be a story I’d like to tell.

Sleep Tight: About a little girl and her boogeyman and conquering fear. The second story I wrote in high school. This one needs… a lot of rework and a bit of gutting- I haven’t decided the direction I wanna take it yet, but I don’t mind waiting. (I mean, look at what happened to Shards of Moon- I was so sure I’d trash that whole story and its characters.)

Superglue: I have like NO new art for this one yet lmao.. Young superheroes dealing with past actions they ran away from. A third high-school story that has changed so dramatically it’s not even remotely similar to its first version. It’s basically a baby story with old re-homed OCs in it because I felt sorry for them. ;w;;; I don’t know how far this one will take off yet but yeah

Others:

I’m gonna get ta’ play in @caiterprince’s universes with Dye too, including the WIP Magical Girl Academy as a means to flesh out more magical girl designs (Eden is the most familiar, but I’ll have more soon), and a few cameos in Plainer in Hindsight and Weaver’s Debt eventually

Fancharacters like my SU gemsonas, my ponies, and my Tokyo Mew Mew OCs are purely for fun. If I want to write an original story about the characters (which has happened, see Solaris and Starless) I’d transplant them first.

I have a few other concepts laying around- placeholders like “fairyverse” or “spacewitchverse” where I throw similar-theme homeless OCs but don’t have a single story idea for, it’s just.. there. for now. So I won’t bother going over those.

AUs (like elf gfs Band AU) don’t really count as separate unless they become canon. (i.e. what happened with Solaris)

If anyone’s really curious on the development of my worlds and ocs, I honestly highly taking a peek through my sketchdump folder on my DA. (start at the bottom, its infinite scroll) You can find pretty much everything I’ve ever conceptualized in these. I started to sort dumps by story- there’s actually quite a bit of storytelling / oc growth nestled in there if you’re into that sorta info-binging. I-I think it’s kinda fun tbh…. I do apologize in advance for any slurs or problematic wording you may find in the oldest dumps, I’ve been cleaning it over the years but might’ve missed something.

That’s about it for now! (-sweats violently- no more pls i have… too many children.. -wheezes and lays down-)
