#and i do in fact like drawing backgrounds

#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 #😎👍

for how much i love to drag pngs around, it turns out that i actually don't know how to animate all too well

#granted i dont actually know how clips animation program works #im just drawing every frame seperately and smashing them together manually #anyway the image of cyn up against the microwave to look at a single potato chip entered my mind at three in the morning and i just had to #i also love switching shading styles on the fly #and also i hate backgrounds. incase you couldn't tell. #i seem to have an affection for drawing cyn scrunched up against the camera/window like that cause this is the second time i've done it #ignore the fact that solver and cyn are seperate here its not a headcanon im just dumb #anyway how tall do you think she actually is #art #murder drones #murder drones cyn #murder drones absolute solver #absolute solver #yes its khan pringles #expect more cyn and solver because im. they're a little silly #just noticed i mispelt drag sad face

#yeah so yesterday i said id try not to get distracted.. Guess how well that went LMAO #SORRY BONES hes going thru it in this one but literally this is all aos canon. aos is so mean to him and for what #not a single drop of closure... tos bones would flip shit if he found out. Thats the real reason why bones prime never shows up in aos #YEAH BTW PLEASE LOOK AT THE STATIC FRAMES PROCREATE HAS A ASTRONOMIC GRUDGE AGAINST THE 3RD SLIDE FOR SOME REASON #it would NOT stop crunching that one single GODDAMN FRAME in the gif. like full on colour blowout. like WHAT DID IT EVER DO TO YOU #YEAH SO I HAD TO SCREENSHOT IT AND PUT THAT IN THE GIF. EXCEPT MY IPAD SCREENSHOTS THINGS WEIRD. so its CONSPICUOUSLY BRIGHT #the 3rd and 4th frames are meant to have the same background color. every time i watch the gif i am filled with unimaginable rage #WHAT DID THAT FRAME EVER DO TO MY IPAD. what unforgivable crimes did it ever commit to be disrespected like this #ok rant over tags now :)) #star trek #star trek aos #star trek fanart #mcspirk bingo #mcspirk #mcspirk fanart #spones #mckirk #spirk #star trek alternate original series #aos #spones fanart #leonard mccoy #bones mccoy #spock #jim kirk #did not use a single ref so the fact that the uniforms are reasonably legible as aos is a win (not like i use refs for anything else lol) #spirk is holding hands in that last frame!! gay people moment #OH AND I DID THIS IN LIKE.

idk sokeefe just feels like the kind of ship that should never go canon. like spirk. do you get it.

#let me. elaborate a bit. #i just think that. one of the big draws to sokeefe was when people didnt know if they really would be canon #especially when keefe was still more a background character #and a lot of sokeefe comes from the fact that they werent canon until stellarlune! people could do whatever they wanted with them #and even up until unlocked it was never explicitly stated that keefe liked sophie. just heavily implied. #and sophies feelings could have gone either way for forever. #theyre the kind of ship that should never be canon and just be so heavily implied that it drives people insane. do you understand. #like in straight media when gay ships can be heavily implied but they wont flat out say theyre canon #thats them! that should be sokeefe! #they function the best when they are not canon #kotlc

First (successful) attempt at arting in CSP :”D This took ten years off my life and I questioned myself every step of the way but I learned a lot from playing around in a new program. Will I ever do something this detailed again?? My brain says no but my heart says maybe!!

#There's lots of things I LOVE about CSP and lots of things I. Do not love #Like the fact that custom brushes exist and make my life a million times easier when doing backgrounds.........LOVE that #The fact that I can't fully replicate my shading brush from SAI. Do NOT love that #Anyway I'm going to bed please don't make me look at this ever again. Lmao #Genshin Impact #Nahida #Lesser Lord Kusanali #Genshin Nahida #Digital art #Art #Btw I did the lineart/base colors in SAI and the shading/BG in CSP :') #I have my exact drawing brush from SAI in CSP but I just. I don't like the way it handles #I'll probably do shading and stuff in CSP but stick to SAI for lineart purposes #Shima arts #I was looking at a lot of my favorite artists who use CSP and tried replicating but man. #I don't think this super detailed way of shading is for me. It just doesn't fit #But that's fine I learned smth from this!!! #I only cried TWICE today are you guys proud of me. LOL #shima-draws

#aaaand here’s alex #why the FUCK is eddie so hard to draw?!?! #you guys are just going to have to excuse the fact that it really doesn’t look much like him #this turned out a little bit better than i expected but it did indeed take three different references to get the desired result #4 hours and 23 minutes #somebody get these hoes better haircuts #the original plan was to have him looking upwards more dramatically but we’re gonna start small when it comes to alex #this is only like my third time drawing eddie ​but now i want to draw alex again and the voices won’t let me sleep #this one looks very odd. there’s a ​couple of obvious things i can see now that i would change if i could do this over again but eh. #i’ll worry about that later #ANIMAL SYMBOLISM #i used the same skeleton design for the background with this one as well #like minds #murderous intent #like minds 2006 #alex forbes #art #fanart #drawing #digital art #alex forbes fanart #artist of tumblr #eddie redmayne #like minds fanart #i think now it’s time for me to draw them together but what should they be doing??

#data pearls #rain world #five pebbles #sliver of straw #rain world art #the last three rendered drawings ive done have all included gold accents i think i have a problem #they go so hard though i can't resist.. #fun fact i actually did some research on how gold ground paintings were made to do this!! #i used gold on a reddish background (color of the floor) like how artists would place gold leaf onto a clay backing to enhance the color #throughout the process i was listening to laurence the first vicar ost on loop #placed at the intersection of medieval religious painter and autistic gamer. a creative frenzy like no other #anyway. yeah i drew sliver again. yeah i gave her religious imagery again. i couldn't stop it

I love siblings that kill people for demonic sacrifices & desecrate the corpses while on a dangerous road trip on the run from the authorities….. especially when the brother is really angry & serious & the sister is a silly goofball….

(realized a hilariously specific recurring theme in my favorite fictional dynamics & felt the need to draw two of my fave duos together yes I know I’m not an artist but I like to have fun so sh)

#fun fact I really wanted the blood drip background but I don’t have red paint or nail polish or anything #so that is wax #my art #that’s just for the tag for self organizing purposes I’m aware I’m not an artist ok lmao #tcoaal #the devil’s rejects #house of 1000 corpses #3 from hell #the coffin of andy and leyley #baby firefly #otis driftwood #andrew graves #ashley graves #I know the road trip thing is from devils rejects but Otis’s house of 1000 corpses design is way more fun to draw #I know in my heart these 4 would either be best buds or they’d all kill each other #but I like to think they’d be best buds #now I kinda wanna write the fic #I can imagine Otis & Andrew sharing furious glares while baby & Ashley do some crazy shit 😂

wasnt gonna post this until i was happy with it but that was weeks ago and its either i post it now or medic dies in the files

#artluli #tf2 #team fortress 2 #yeah i had no idea what to do for the background which was one of the factors of why i never finished it #actually wanted to do a “finished piece” for once but it just never happened #another factor was the fact i dont know how to really draw medic yet #wanna do him justice before i post him “”“”officially“”“” but i dont know when ill actually get good at drawing in general and him #the shading is very random #i didnt know what to do with it either so i kinda just threw paint on a wall hoping something would work but it didnt #i dont know #i dont like this that much and wish i could somehow fix it but i cant and im very tired #still sorry for no new art #like i said previously i havent drawn in weeks #life is life #hopefully when i post art again its worth your time lul

Knight knight knight knight knight!!! Juliett! Knight! Flowers! Still haven’t decided which direction I want this AU to go but drawing beloved girlfriend Romy can‘t hurt right

#oc #my ocs #juliett #knight au #romy #How do you hide the fact that the background looks bad? Just draw lots of flowers on top of it for no reason #It still won’t look much better but hey at least there are some nice flowers! #When I had the flower layer at a higher opacity Juliett looked like the confused math woman gif #just with flowers
