*wheeze* slowly, but surely, working on art of them all

#bg3 #myart #wip #I want to make every tav/companion pairing I have a dedicated. fancy piece. #these started with a concept for a wyll drawing that was very...storybook! inspired. #I would have been done all the linework for these two pieces by now had my weekend gone better :/ #I was violently unwell for...about a week and a half? chronic illness bullshit. had started to feel better friday of last week... #...unfortunately fate had it that the weekend ended up being particularly stressful. so the pain returned anew. #it was. somewhat better today. but still not enough for me to really be productive in my free time :( #I will try to complete the linework tomorrow if all goes well. I really would like to start colouring them! #I have delightful colour schemes chosen... #gale/illamin piece has already been sketched in a notebook. once I finish these two- I will begin lining theirs! #illamin's connects to cadence's because they're intertwined like that. but I have yet to finish planning out cadence's piece. #I've gone back and forth on who I should romance with him...the thing with any of the companions is that they are all written to be- #-immensely compatible with each other. so writing a tav FOR a specific companion is a bit hard. often the tav could fit with any of them. #hell. I'm STILL working out details of jantar and corydalis' story & characters. because I can't be normal about this. #that aside- I DO have other. finished pieces...finally. #well. I had some long before... but I didn't want to post them because I wasn't happy with them. #so I went and finished new stuff that I DO like. #4. technically 5 drawings. all horror/horror adjacent in theme. #my extremely detailed hux painting is also NEARLY done. after months upon months of work. #and I continue to slowly chip away at the big scifi themed dbd piece I've had in progress. #I really never run out of things to draw and it's a bit torturous because I never have the time or energy to draw everything...

parts one and two to painting your own santa fe step one : blue (use sparingly) step two : pink (use lots of it, and make sure it goes over the blue bits, also make sure not to let the blue bit dry so that you can give the 3d illusion)

#santa fe painting from newsies #newsies #i'm trying so hard #ive got so many reference images #im also gonna paint the boot on the back #painting #art #but seriously im so scared its gonna be bad #but its fine #its my personal santa fe #i ain't even been to santa fe #no clue what it looks like #i know it's altitude tho

I finished this tiny animation test recently! Nothing special, aaaand I did get lazy with the lighting 😅

Here's what the sketch looked like :]

#it's only 12 fps and this version is slowed down a bit! #it was definitely hard trying to stay consistent 😅😅 also the layers are nightmarish on flipaclip- #I'm just too used to the variety of option that ibis paint gives me! I felt cheated by flipaclip LOL #anyways yeah I'll probably be dabbling with other short and easy animations :) #my art #my animation #deltarune #utdr #kris #kris dreemurr #kris deltarune #deltarune kris

oh i realized why i hate disagreeing with people so much... it's because i spent YEARS trying to be the Most Agreeable Person Ever, and i lowkey panic when i just can't do that

#said disagreements aren't even a big deal. i just don't like it when opinions don't align bc idk what to do and i do NOT want to change mine #but i feel obligated to at least outwardly agree with them?? but i also dont want to be painted as spineless #which at my core i'm lowkey a defiant person... hence why i worked so hard to be Agreeable™ #bc i'd previously get in trouble a LOT #mostly i just feel bad about everything. i haven't had any problems lately but i do contemplate the potential. #this is about this one time i was talking to a guy in my class and he was lowkey trying to disagree with EVERYTHING i was saying #just trying to poke holes in my argument for funsies. and to this day i am lowkey offended even though it was literally just a little debat

I'm definitely not the only queer person who's kinda wary of Christian ppl they encounter online right?

Like I see a profile that clearly states they're Christian and they post like Bible verses and shit and I'm just. Hoping they're not queerphobic. Or saying some dumbass shit like "hate the sin love the sinner" or whatever while pretending that's not queerphobic

If they're interacting with me first it's pretty safe to assume they're not gonna be like that bc I'm very obviously queer (🏳️‍🌈 + pronouns in bio) but if it's someone who hasn't interacted with me at all I kind of instinctively avoid interacting with them out of fear of them being that way. Y'know

#ramblings #i think it's bc even tho i've never been religious and my family isn't like a super uptight christian family #i have encountered a preacher who was homophobic and transphobic before #he's puerto rican too which just makes me disappointed in my people tbh #i grew up surrounded by a lot of accepting ppl both within and outside of the family #as well as a couple gay/trans ppl #i was always taught that that's just the way some ppl are and that we should respect that #even if we didn't fully understand everything and weren't up to date with the latest most accepted terminology and stuff #ppl were just respectful and let others be themselves #so it's extremely hard for me to understand why other ppl would be queerphobic #i mean. i kinda get it. it what they were taught growing up. just how i was taught to be accepting and respectful #but why ppl would continue to teach that to their kids and perpetuate queerphobia is really what i don't get #like. accepting that ppl different from you exist and that's ok isn't going to kill you #maybe learn abt the world from other sources besides the bible and try to see different perspectives #instead of shutting yourself off to just one way of thinking and hurting ppl in the process #anyways. i think it's also bc i've seen too many really religious ppl on the internet who are also queerphobic #and they have these big platforms of ppl who support them and share their views #and like. i shouldn't generalize. but they paint an ugly image of christians in general #also like. christians throughout history don't have the cleanest track record #but i know a lot of christians nowadays aren't like that. in fact i'm willing to say most aren't #but still it's like. better be safe than sorry y'know #idk man

a boye whom'st loves to attack paper balls

#cats #nhgnhmmm.. yommy... paper favorite food #(I do not actually let him eat paper) #ALSO I'm still working on doing the poll adventure thing I've just had a lot going on. as usual. It's actually harder than #I initially thought to regularly find time to do a quick ms paint sketch and a small writing blurb #it's like even though it doesn't take extremely long it's still one of those things that is hard to carve out a little portion of the day #to do if your day is set up in a way not conducive to portion carving #BUT .. at least I have posted many drafts #as usual.. my style of like.. post nothing for 3 weeks then randomly post 25 things at once #NO idea why my brain works that way. it just does. it's easier #even though I know it's worse in terms of like. social media #the algorithms in most places prefer consistent steady uploads over time. not jarringly wavering between absence and hyper presence #then absence again. but .. alas... #Good to clear out a few drafts once in a while anyway. And I do really want to get back to scullptures and costumes. I stopped as much for #a while due to the pandemic (can't go to the bins anymore to get new supplies for costumes and stuff) as well as my worsened #health things/lack of energy and also my chest injury (so repetitive movements with my arms such as sitting in the same #position sculpting for 4 hours or changing clothes multiple times in quick succession etc. could flare it up) but obviously #none of those things are going to get better any time soon. so I should probably just try to do it here and there anyway. It's still not #safe to go to the bins. still having muscle problems. still low energy. But I could make it work maybe. I just feel bad having gotten out #of the habit when it is really fun stuff that I enjoy. Some things just get more difficult for me over time #But even like 3 sculptures and 10 costumes a year is better than 0 of any of those things. So. eh #I'm also just trying to clear out pictures still. My spring cleaning (which I do at the start of every new year instead of actual spring) #was kind of delayed this year due to me feeling sick and everything so even late into april I'm still working on the side at like orgnazing #all of the files on my computer. deleting things and backing up whatever I want to keep. clearing out photos. #editing and drafting (and maybe one day posting) old stuff form a while ago. etc. etc. #So any progress is good progress. I suppose. #ANYWAY.... a son... he gets very excited everytime he hears anyone anywhere crinkle up a piece of paper

Silvamytober 2023 | Day 3, "Flying"

Amy's heart fluttered in her chest as she clutched Silver's hand tightly. They were both safely enveloped in a field of Silver's telekinesis, but there were still miles between them and the ground below. The city lights gleamed like firelight from the buildings down there, and Amy could hardly look away.

"Amy," Silver whispered in her ear, and she giggled as his voice tickled her. "I'm gonna take us higher, okay?"

Amy nodded, her stomach dropping as he slowly, carefully, lifted them through the clouds. Soon, the ground was obscured by white puffs beneath the couple, and Amy turned her head to look at Silver with a grin even as she shivered from the increasing chill.

Silver pulled her a little closer, pressing a kiss to her cheek before he flipped them over with a laugh. Amy yelped, then smiled again as she caught sight of the moon and stars above them. "Oooh," she whispered softly. Then, she gasped as an idea occurred to her. She looked back at Silver and whispered something to him, giggling as his grin widened.

"Hang on," Silver said, eliciting another yelp from Amy as he accelerated them through the sky towards the distant mountains, where the stars glittered brighter.

#This painting was hard #not super happy with how it came out in terms of color #I would have liked for there to be more contrast #I'll try and work on that going forward #but I'm happy with the shapes at least! #silvamy #amy rose #silver the hedgehog #silvamytober #silvamytober 2023 #Also this was semi inspired by the flying scene from the first Christopher Reeves Superman movie #So there's that too XD

(hey sorry like vent post n tags i need to get things out of my brain)

I WANT!! to be a person who does little dnd doodles immediately after sessions and I WANT to be a person who nature journals regularly and I WANT to be a person who brings watercolors to colorado and actually uses them I WANT to do art casually and freely and joyfully as a reflection and extension of being an active participant in the world!!! FUCK!!!!

#'then do it' I KNOW I KNOW I KNOOOW but it's HARD my executives are always DYSFUNCTIONING!!! #I brought art stuff when we went on a cruise aaages ago and didn't actually paint ANYTHING #my mom's husband is An Artist professionally-- he's a studio painter and has done commercial freelance work #and he's just! always got his stuff! and he actually uses it!! what a fuckin concept!!! #I can't wait to be in colorado and go 'but I don't know how to paint a landscape 😥' #and like YES I also have a camera and a mini phone printer and a decent home printer #and I'm allowing myself to just tape bullshit into my 'sketchbooks' now AND my husband got me a proper scrapbook #and I do also want to be a person who does THOSE things don't get me wrong I just-- #I overthink artmaking so much that I just never do it anymore #and I've really never been good at consistent travel/ journal sketching because I'm not good at working large or loose #I can draw A Thing but I struggle with scenes for example and I get very bogged down with little details #and the same problem applies to dnd art! 9 times out of 10 when I try to doodle quickly and casually I get caught up on perfectionism #and I just!!

When you paint with watercolor, do you usually do a single color - wait for it to dry - then layer more colours? Or do you just layer colours all at once? I'm still learning how to use water colours and they are sooooo complicated but you make it look so easy! ><

both! if you apply watercolor when its still wet, as i'm sure you've found, it blends really easily, and that can create a cool effect, but it can also pull up the colors beneath it much easier

if you apply watercolor on top of another (dried) watercolor, it often just sits on top, and will have a crisp edge unless you try to soften it

both of these can be really cool effects to play with, and I encourage you to use both! the best way to get good at watercolors is to play around with them! try putting the water down first, then adding the paint to that. add paint, wait until it dries, and then try to lift the paint from the paper with a brush that just has water, try anything u can imagine, just have fun and experiment and see what feels enjoyable to you! art is about having fun, and the more that you do fun little experiments like this, the better you understand the medium you're playing in, the more confident you will feel, and the better you will be at it too!

#yamswers #boo-tycall #i hope this is useful to you and i'm glad you're trying to learn watercolor!!! im not gonna lie it is a rlly tough medium imo #but it's also really lovely #i love the way that watercolor looks...i love how it often just sinks into the paper instead of covering it...i love how the pigment #will gather at the edges of a spot of paint...and get very dark...like a border of pigment..a hard edge...lovely

I started panicking when I realized I only had 2 speedpaints left in the yt queue so I decided to start working on this illustration again... I think shiba looks passable but I tried painting eishi’s fucking face??? and my god. he is the easiest guy to paint except for when he isn’t and right now he is not. time 2 look at images of conductors again because I need a strong light source from the top.

#just thinking thoughts... #I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE PAINTED EISHI RIGHT AFTER I DID UMINO!! I'M HAVING A HARD TIME MATCHING THE COLOR PALETTE AGAIN... #shiba's colors are a bit muddy. but I think I'm doing that on purpose. #like umino and karasuma are divine right now... brighter and more vibrant... #shiba is just a human witness. #I need to add some other colors into her hair though. right now it's pitch black which is not good practice lol #gahhhh eishi's face might look okay right now but trust me. #I grabbed it from the sketch again because I couldn't bear to show what a monstrosity it had become #I also don't like shiba's face. #wow I don't like a lot of this actually LOL #oh well... #me: wow I am running out of things to put into my speedpaint queue!! why don't I try and finish ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX ILLUSTRATIONS I #HAVE EVER ATTEMPTED??? <- i am very intelligent #ok ok I think maybe shiba doesn't deserve that solid white light on her face. she can have a little color there
