Phoenix
What would she say if she were to face her father now, to stand tall and look him in the eyes with tear-stained cheeks? She wanted to tell him that a true phoenix does not rise amid the flames, wild and fierce, but only in the cold, dark nothing that comes after. Born from its own ashes, forged through hellfire and suffering, through its own unmaking, to become something else. Something better and stronger and resilient.

I've been wanting to draw Azula post-years of therapy, having recovered and made it out of the asylum with the help of those who truly care for her. Because I think she deserves it. The concept happened to coincide with a prompt ficlet I wrote, so I settled on the scene where she's recently returned to the palace on Zuko's invitation, and is sitting in front of the mirror she once shattered.

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy

it’s a good time to have a creative streak (semester’s about to start and i won’t have any freetime to actually do anything about it)
[Image description: a collection of four digital drawings of the same person against a white background. They have brown skin, red eyes, and curly hair worn in a fluffy ponytail. Their hair is dyed in two-tone and is black on one half and white on the other. They are wearing a set of gold earrings and a matching necklace that have the symbol of a circle with three short prongs. In the first picture, their whole body is visible, and they are wearing a seafoam green tunic with loose elbow-length sleeves and loose, dark grey-green pants. They are wearing one black sock and their other foot is bare. Under the tunic, they are wearing an asymmetrical black top that leaves one collarbone visible. They are smiling with their eyes closed and a seafoam green speech bubble with a heart is drawn next to them. In the next two pictures they are wearing the same outfit, one of them drawn in profile from the shoulders up with a serious expression, and one from the waist up where they look confused. The fourth image is a full body drawing where they are wearing a seafoam green tank top with the three-pronged circle on the chest and loose pants with a big, loose grey-green sweater that is slipping off their shoulders. They are still wearing only one sock and are looking off to the side with a mischievous smile. End description.]

please may I request some tango tek? I love your tango design <3
No harm in letting a netherborn burn right
I'm sorry this is wildly different from what you probably wanted sdfhgfdg I'VE WANTED TO DRAW JUST!! ENFLAMED TANGO!!!! for so long!! THANK YOU!!! I saw you going through my blog awhile back and it absolutely brightened my day, and I'm so glad you like my Tango design.. <3. In any case more normal Tango art will come dont you fret!!
He's a little upset too but shh I just. I just love the idea of flames of misery. Love the idea of him bursting into a little bit of a wildfire as a treat (thinking about Last Life Tango cough) he deserves it. The idea of "let him burn, he will calm down eventually, if we approach we'll just get hurt, he won't" (cough how Team BEST largely kept distance from him during his outburst, even Skizz) vs DL Jimmy who approached anyway, because he saw that Tango would end up more hurt than him if he didn't. Love the idea of Tango containing his flames and refusing to ever use them to hurt someone, and that he's gotten so good at it, so when he bursts into flame its just that much more.... arggg sorry what were we talking about
The sketch too because his expression looks way better here imo AGH its hard for me to convey expression well in lineless art, let alone in color when tango's eyes are fuckin full red. But whatever!!

soo I wanted to try my own Vanny/Vanessa design..
It was super fun! I wanna refine this design a bit and re-draw this as a render- I haven't done lineless in a while and I figure Vanny's a good design to attempt it with.
If you like this design be sure to check out @dykevanny ! Its design inspired me a lot with mine and I hope the two are different enough it's alright. If you want inspiration credit when I post this design in the future lmk
anyway time to ramble about this design
I saw some posts recently about enjoying when Vanny designs look similar to glamrocks to blend in and tbh I agree, but the more I thought about it I realize one of the reasons I enjoy it. If you look at the cast of SB her design sticks out soo much, which it's supposed to, for sure. But if she was following in Glitchtrap/William's footsteps and using the suit not just as a disguise but also to lure victims.. it'd be a lot more convincing to lure if she was more believable as just another character, yk?
If you can't tell I like the legwarmers on the glamrocks and wanted to give her some too lol.. plus I thought giving her a modified design of Glitchtrap's vest is a nice nod to his influence. Overall this design was really fun to work with, if you like Vanny and character design I encourage trying an attempt of your own lol.
This was a bit more lazy than what I'm used to so dw I'm gonna redraw this better lol, if you can't tell it's pretty visible when you look at the lineart, and up close you can tell I just used the bucket tool instead of fully coloring in the lines.
