#ibis art #metalocalypse #charles offdensen #charles foster offdensen #buncha screencap redraws up top bc i want to like. #ok when i draw these guys im trying to crib the show style too much and it comes out looking kinda jank #i wanna get the Vibe of them down in my style. so i wanna do a lot of quick scribbly redraws that feel natural but still Capture the Essenc #the second one is bc i love his overcoat and scarf look so much. also ive seen vampire charles art. I Like That. #i like to imagine whatever the resurrection process was it didn't really. Fully work. he came back a little bit wrong #i think he's Extra pale and grey. skin's always cold to the touch. pulse is fluttery and hard to find. touch of grey at the temples #if he stays in one position for too long rigor mortis sets in and he makes some UNHOLY crunching and cracking noises when he moves #shaking his leg to get the bloodflow back in it while everyone looks on in horror. he shrugs. joints aren't what they used to be

how did you learn to draw and feel comfortable drawing bodies and figures? I was curious to your own experience, since theres an overwhelming amount of ways to go about learning.

just by doing ! i collect lots of ref images and also use my own body as ref for poses (then mentally edit the body to fit the character im drawing)

though there's something to be said about. 1. the Becoming Obsessed With Something method in my experience, and 2. Finding a balance between motivating self to start, and waiting until its you Feel ready to do so ^_^

i learned to draw and feel comfortable drawing the human body by going section by section (was fixated on drawing isolated arms and hands for some time in high school, in between still trying to draw whatever (full bodies) i wanted as usual. i barely started really learning to draw legs last year. i didnt feel Ready or Motivated to focus on them before then, and now I can actually piece all of that together, and draw in a more Informed way than before) as well as just actually having genuine fascination and fixation on the human body to drive this. I love the body! I want to depict it well!

#skunk mail #Anonymous #long post #idk if that made sense though... like... i would still draw full bodies before i really started focusing on legs #its just that now its more informed! #also if it was back then id probably do solo legs studies... but since i Know how to draw torsos and arms my leg studies are usually also #full figures vs just legs. because ive already learned the other sections and now im 1. Refining how i draw legs and 2. reinforcing my #other anatomy knowledge...! #while being very eager excited and motivated to do so because wowww im drawing a body im building a body im detailing a body im creating #i get to adorn it any way i wish i get to make it look all sorts of ways... i love it #process

Re: own art blog (though I'm gonna go slightly different direction)

Your Jin Flower was absolutely beautiful and I'd personally love to see more flowers from you someday tbh. I always ride the fine line between being appreciative and envious of people who can draw flowers like that.

Outside of making silly comics, I've been doing a lot of flower studies, and I'd love to find a way to have overlap B*)

#ask #non mdzs #Thanks for the kind words; I'm still on wobbly art legs but flowers are very relaxing for me to draw! #Knowing how to do flora studies is kind of a big deal for my family (long story) so I've been practicing #This one is a little old! I've gotten better! #Gonna throw this into the queue a bit earlier than the raffles. #The common name for these guys are forget-me-nots! in case someone was curious #there's a lot of varieties out there so I always prefer the scientific names

The 'Enjoying watch you suffer' line in Broadcast has always been hard to pin down; Tim's leg getting broken is the biggest incident in Entry #35, so it's natural to want to tie the two together, but it seems to fit so indelicately into what we know about the timeline of totheark's internal relationship that it almost causes more problems than it resolves. However, even though it's very blink and miss it, Tim does actually manage to stab Alex in the arm before he gets knocked down -- we hear Alex cry out in pain, can see blood on the blade when Jay picks it up, and then in the recovered corrupted footage from that tape that Jay posts as Entry #36 Alex says "I did what I had to... he'd just stabbed me" -- and that injury being what totheark was trying to call attention to, to me, reads a lot more clear and consistent than anything else does

#N posts stuff #marble hornets #it's so hard to figure out lol bc Tim's leg is The Thing so it feels like they should be linked but like it just doesn't seem to flow #and the timeline of s2 is so mangled by the mix mash and retreading ground of all the tapes #ie; Present!Jay uploading Past!Jay's (and Past!Alex's) tapes and commenting on them while Present!TTA responds to both #that it's hard to figure out if TTA is still working together in that Present!Time or if it's Only in the old tapes and they fell out like #Immediately after Jay got the code for the safe from them - which is Possible? We do know that Tim and Brian separated #like Right after they'd managed to separate Jay and Jess but IDK if that separation would account for the kind of anger implied in #the sentiment 'enjoying watching you suffer' you know? And Jay doesn't get Tim's medical records until s3 - which we KNOW #is the Final Death Knell in TTA's relationship and i don't think Brian would have sat on those for so long so i feel like he hadn't #found them by this point in s2 - that must have come later. so That makes this line feel so out of place in their relationship #BUT if Brian is paying more attention to Alex than Tim at this point then it makes A Lot more sense if it's directed at him #and since the creators Specifically included that corrupted footage that makes Sure to get 'he stabbed me' clear in audio AND #in Jay's subtitles - I wonder if that's an attempt to draw attention to that injury and maybe clarify the TTA upload a little bit? #OR you know maybe I'm reading into it all too much but hey. with this series that's actually a pretty solid living so #mh lb #i'm rewatching bc i'm about to start giving the Bleed More fic another attempt at getting finished and finalized so. keep an eye out :3c

Vigil, a fusion of two AU versions of Dream and Nightmare. They are two souls sharing one body but who is in charge is determined by the Dreamers' lantern, their shackle and burden.

An adoptable I got from @fluffaros~

I've put some character trivia for Vigil on Toyhouse.

#undertale au #vigil #dream sans #nightmare sans #dreamtale belongs to jukoblog #wings instead of tentacles~ #wings are a pain to draw... yet here I am with a six winged character -.- #why do I always draw legs sooo loooong? I mean... I like long legs but still! #wish art

This started as a silly doodle but turned into a whole thing. Corvin (left) showing Moryn (right) how locks work, since Moryn was curious about lockpicking. I half expected Moryn to be upset when Corvin grabbed his notebook and started crudely doodling all over his neat notes, but he was so excited by New Knowledge™ apparently that he didn't mind 😅

#leave it to me to make a ranger character who still does all the rogue things lol #my art #my ocs #corvin is so fun to draw I love him #long hair my beloved #(also I've made this joke several times but Moryn is so Ianry-coded and it drives me insane like I may have to do an AU drawing) #next up I gotta draw Corvin being carried around the woods by the party paladin since his leg got petrified ................

Ive decided trying to draw foreshortening in realism is hell actually

#GRRRRRRRR #BAKR BAKR BARK BARK #BARK BARK BARK BARK #im ok now #i havent done realism in so long so its tricky. i like semi realism and cartoony best but i feel its always good to go back and try realism #to get like. your practice in on anatomy and how things look realistically and then apply it to semi realism or cartoony by exaterating #so its still looks like. anatomically correct in the style its in #which is a big deal to me for my art i like it to flow well as a whole #i like gesture drawings bc of that cuz most of them have the whole body #mostly in motion and you can see how the muscles in the arms and legs stretch with the torso bc the whole thing about gesture drawings is #theyre usually quite exatterated (idk how to spell exatturated sorry :( ) so its usually stretching a whole multitude of different muscles #throughout wherever the motion is coming from and going through: arching your back down to the ground is going to be using some muscles #in both your legs and arms #am i making sense #your bodily anatomy is like a puppet and once you put the pieces together in your head on how to draw them you need to string them together #in harmonic motion #i miht bw making no sense but whatever #my silly ass that hardly does gesture drawings with a reference which i Should. doing a whole ass rant on acurate anatomy smh #but i understand it #somewhat #keep in mind everything im saying here is just for me about my art and about what i want in my art. dont think im sounding nitpicky of how #art should be #im just rnating abt my approach to it #ANWAY ill shut up now #i think i went down several different rabbits trails here

Thank you, younger me, for drawing so many things in which the lines were never quite right. It is quite literally the only reason I ever figured out how to get them right.

#And I imagine future me will have a very similar thing to say when I am them and they are no longer me. #original #something about zyr improved composition and speed hopefully #i keep wanting to use she pronouns for future me. probably bc that is what i do for past me sometimes. #but i really don't think I'm ever going to want she her pronouns again #I still don't get my lines exactly how I want them a lot of the time but I am at a point where I'm fairly confident I can #produce nearly anything I see in my head and capture the spirit of it in a way that makes me proud. #even if it takes a really really long time sometimes. #and although I don't think the art I made growing up was bad i love the phrase #' the road to good art is paved with bad art.' I think I saw it in a video by Bobby Chiu? idk. #and I like it because whenever I'm not sure about what I'm making and I get to insecure or perfectionist about it #*too insecure #I remember that if I want to get good at the thing I'm struggling with I'm going to have to do it poorly or just okay a bunch of times #and that doing this is my ticket to this skill I'm placing value on. also doesn't hurt that Im drawing things I love and I enjoy doing it #although at this point I really really should just sit down and study leg muscles for like a hundred years #it's one of the more longstanding blindspots of mine. that and literally everything that is not people. #as in locations animals objects scenery... did you know that most graphic novels have some or all of those things??? #how homophobic that in order to show my characters experiencing such luxuries as plot action and context I couldn't just #drop them on a gradient and be done with it! #I've been drawing for like 20 years and only a couple years ago was i like...
