#can you tell I can't shade

[chill-vibes-but-rainbow-panic]

I love characters not being able to tell they're being deceived by a shapeshifter!

Love the audience not being able to tell they're being deceived by a shapeshifter!!!

#Don't get me wrong; zero shade towards my shapeshifters who are very 'obviously' shifters (Jake; Amethyst; etc.) #But smth about those where you realistically *couldn't tell* you're dealing with a copycat just hit different for me #Of course they tend to have obvious visual e.g. tells for the audience; but those often either don't exist within canon or I can ignore #And when even *we* can't tell? Even better!a #Also Spy counts as an honourary shifter. Because what is shapeshifting but making a disguise out of your flesh and blood? #If you can't shapeshift naturally; store-bought is fine #In hindsight I think that's two words but I am not rediting the image so I'm spelling it like that in my own tags too #shape shifter #my little pony friendship is magic #changeling #thorax #darkwing duck #camille chameleon #team fortress 2 #tf2 spy #pokemon #ditto

Here's part two of drawing my family pictures as the Bad Batch because I can and you can't stop me

#i can tell you right now that drawing their armor was a fucking pain in the ass #and the l e g s jesus fucking christ #why do i have to care about anatomy #don't ask where crosshair and wrecker's legs are btw i wouldn't know #fun fact the original picture is from our summer vacation to Italy back in 2018 #tech is me in this picture actually real and true #another fun fact #omega's eyebrows were blonde until the very last minute because i felt like they looked kinda odd #and she does actually have dark eyebrows in the show so-- #i don't know if they look any better now but ehh good enough #hunter looks so wrong for some reason but i can't fix him i'm sorry #also yes they're all in their blacks because a) i couldn't be bothered to draw all the armor again and b) they deserve the comfort #i might do proper shadings if i find the motivation for this but until then this is what you're getting #the bad batch #bad batch #tbb #the bad batch fanart #bad batch fanart #tbb fanart #hunter #omega #crosshair #wrecker #echo #tech #the clone wars #star wars #star wars fanart #fan art #art

we're just gonna ignore how theo's hands clip wherever he touches matthias's upper body at in favor of looking at how pretty they are

#such cute poses but if theo touches matthias anywhere but his face it's OVER #god................... so do you SEE why i had to just start making my own poses?? #don't pay attention to the weird shading theo's top has btw... i was saying to olli yesterday that the shirt is only nice from the front 😑 #river dipping #ts4 #matthias evanoff #theodore doe #a burning house to live in #echthroi #these are more of the extras from that last ask if you can't tell....... #oh and can you ALSO see why i had to go and make my own presets for gshade??? with matthias being this pale just imagine what #it'd look like if i were to have switched to someone else's preset while taking these pics....... blinded instantly. #bloom 100%. my retinas DESTROYED. would've been so bright i would start hearing colors. #did i delete that old post were i turned on someone else's preset just for fun and matthias was literally just a ball of light... #hang on

hey don’t cry. 10 million blorbos from your shows, okay?

#commander cody #obi-wan kenobi #uh. i guess implied #codywan #star wars #bytebun draws #ok on twitter sometimes japanese artists i follow will caption their au posts with 'delusion for those who can accept anything' #(and then explain the au) (or at least that's what google translate tells me) #that's how i feel about this one. #can't imagine a universe where this guy would sit down to play mario cart w his bf's family after an obvious crying jag #but like maybe he watched legally blond or something & got rlly moved #abt the main character finding her own path with an identity separate from her partner without losing the core elements of her personality #and self-expression. and also winning at the law. you know? #au cody can have elle woods as his blorbo. #in my au where he's doing law things re: clone citizenship #but also fuck stylizing crying genuinely hard. idk if i can get stylistically simpler than the first pic & still convey the precise emotion #that i want. i'm cheating there with like some actual shading instead of hard lines... more studying required #it's like difficult to draw people crying bc/ it's one of those emotions that changes the whole shape of your face... the invert of a #beaming smile. the tears aren't the important part... that's why the 'stoic guy sheds single tear trope' is so funny #they're out there w their plastic immobile faces and a fake tear when the important part is all those scrunched up microexpressions #someone trying rlly hard not to cry has the deeper mouth corners & tense brow-eyelid combo & that wrinkle near the nostril #unfortunately all of these lines are also the only indication of old age in most anime lmao so its so so hard to figure out how to draw em #shld do some ch*insawman or g*lden kmy studies probably. those guys r pretty good at funny looking faces

hmmmm having angsty Lights Out thoughts

#i know when i post about it i usually make it Lighthearted if not outright Memey #but oh boy. this au is dark. like - like beyond the literal meaning #imagine being abandoned by your creators without so much as a warning #one day the lights go out and thats it. no answers. no comfort. no friendly faces or explanation #show's over. curtains closed. doors locked. they're all gone #it's just waiting in a pitch black room because surely the lights will turn back on. the next day will come #but it Won't. the next day won't come. it will never come. your friends won't open their eyes again. it's just you now. #you've always had company - friends and the comfort of feeling Watched Over by something beyond your understanding #but you blinked and its gone now. it's just you. no matter what you try or what you do - its. just. you. #days and weeks and moths and years of silence and a complete lack of color #burning matches down to your fingertips just to remember what shade of yellow your fleece is #its still wrong. firelight stains the color. #slowly forgetting the sound of your friends voices and what their smiles looked like and what the memories you made with them were #what was your best friends favorite joke? what was his hotdog order? how did he laugh? he used to pose for your paintings didnt he? #you can't be sure anymore. maybe the neighborhood was always dead. maybe You're dead. how can you tell? #you don't breathe. they don't either. they used to didn't they? you never did but they used to. ...right? you hope their dreams are sweet #one of your friends starts sleepwalking. you're so happy. she hurts you. you know she didnt mean it. you're scared anyway. #you can only see with one eye now. it feels... Wrong. all of your chalk drawings start coming out wrong too. #you keep missing when you reach for things. just one more thing to adjust to #were the lights ever on? or was that your own dream? you thought that was something you couldnt do. #you also thought the lights always come back. you were wrong about that. what else are you wrong about? #wh lights out au #wailing sobbing screaming etc over lights out wally... this poor little 12 apples dude... #aimlessly wandering through the town... walking through the buildings.... #eventually getting so fucking lonely and desperate that you keep your best friend's severed arm for comfort #all you can do is protect your eternally sleeping friends from the Things crawling out of the shadows #mark another tally on the ground for each full circle the town clock's short hand completes #and wait for the day you fall asleep and join your friends dreams. it will happen someday. #you can feel it in the pitch seeping from your eyes and mouth. more with each decade that passes #just a little while longer. some more waiting. just you. in the dark.

caved and finally decided to do a mix of digisona and tamersona art lol

pardon the strange artifacting, glaze was very much not meant to deal with a lot of solid colors, but i hope you can still appreciate the work i put into all this!

cringe is dead and i'm not into necromancy so when my brain said "digisona time" i said "this weekend, for sure"

first pic is art from like two years ago though, we just were not using tumblr at the time so we never ended up posting it here

second is also from like last year when i fronted for the first time in a while. played around with some fun brushes and tbh? might have to play with 'em some more because trying to get digital effects beyond glitchy stuff is a Goal of mine.

#digimon #impmon #flawizarmon #beelzemon #digimon art #digimon fanart #dg arts #i'm actually hella proud of those last two pics which is my whole excuse for making this post #we've been a digimon fan for basically our whole life #but only just recently did we kind of figure out how we want to draw impmon anatomy #which you can tell between the first and third pics!! #not that i did shade (the impmon in the first pic) dirty by any means #but figuring out that i really want to lean into the “vaguely cat creature” side of things was a neat discovery #and i think we can largely thank the way we've seen people draw impmon over the years in influencing that #there's this one artist whose art i can't for the life of me find #but the way they drew impmon ears completely broke my brain #in a super good and cool way #and i've seen a lot more “impmon ears are very weirdly furred cat ears” art takes since #(that first time i saw them was the first time i really REGISTERED it yk?) #anyways #hee hoo i'm in digihell with some major brainrot rn #love this series a normal amount that makes me very happy #-sky

one of these days i'm going to write up all that i've changed from azzarello's bullshit era and the one (1) piece i've kept from milligan (and also changed) and the only thing currently stopping me is that it is going to be so, so inside-baseball incomprehensible. and i almost never want to go reading/screencapping azzarello and milligan to add references but i Want to add references.

canon is goop, just know that we continue to ride the bus down "hellblazer ended at #250 and looks like swiss cheese before that" street.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #i'm doing page maintenance before i fuck off to work rip it's got me thinking #anyway i think i said WAY back on this blog that a side goal of mine is to make hellblazer lore accessible to non-comic readers where i can #bc it's such a Heavy comic & i love it so much & i always felt Terrible recommending it to people only for them to be disgusted #and like. @ past me that particular goal is NOT as easy as you thought it would be lmao #esp because i have a habit of getting VERY detail-oriented when it comes to talking about hellblazer i think #but by GOD it's still a goal. i can put in some motherfucking references here and there when i talk about The Lore #like. azzarello's writing style never translates well for me in synopsis bc he Loves to put the audience in the outside perspective #where we are bystanders/with the rest of the bystanders to constantine's actions and not to his motivations/inner monologue #and i HATE that. hellblazer has ALWAYS been about what this guy has going on underneath the masked exterior #all the things you can't say out loud when you're queer and working class trying to survive in 70s-80s-90s england #but that you FEEL with your WHOLE fucking chest. how that feeling drives you to enjoy little rebellions wherever you can get them #(also azzarello just fucking Sucks LMAO but i'm talking style rn) #so i end up relying on frusin's art to tell the story a little more bc i think he understands the Theatre of constantine's public persona #and when that theatre is Absent then it's really REALLY noticeable. so frusin keeps me in it most of the time #and if i'm digging into frusin art then i'm Going to want to compare it to older panels bc i like body language consistency #milligan on the other hand has NOTHING to save his sorry ass bc his writing is drop-jaw fucking terrible AND the artist seems to like it #but the loss of john's thumb being tied to his mental health (ignoring the bullshit with shade) has always felt. important to me somehow id #anyway MUCH thinking about my favorite loser on this about-to-be-annoying day shdjksd he has been done so dirty #hellblazer brain go brrrr

this piece killed me and buried my body in the donald trump tower. i haven't spent this much time on a sketch since my bad gay drowning days. if it looks ugly as fuck know that ive done everything i can, and i must pass the responsibilites onto you now, also iam dead i can't fix it lol. anyways aubey got her hair done :)) :3

#omori #omori fanart #omori aubrey #aubrey omori #raey draws #her hair is SUPPOSED to be half purple but you can't ufkcing tell cause there's no dam shade of purple that looks good AND is visible gjsds #(this probably would have been easier if the pink was on the right side instead of the left bc that way it'd look less like the purple #was just hair shadows) #(but whatever i can say she just got a haircut)

A world where no one tried to save another. In this world where only victims existed, no, a world where the wounds of the victims were in full display, here was the lone hand full of scars extending out to her.

⸢Kim Dokja was already extending his hand out from there.⸥

It wasn't just the person reaching out, but the one grasping that hand also required courage to do so.

Courage to hold that scarred hand, courage not to give up.

Even if she knew this wouldn't heal her, even if she knew that holding that hand would only inflict her with a greater wound – courage to hold that hand in order to live for one more time.

ORV Women Week (2023) Day 1 - Jung Heewon/Scars

This was going to be something...incredibly different lol, but with such a prompt for day one of @orvwomenweek, I could NOT resist the power of this passage. Jung Heewon and her scars, truly...

[ID: A black-and-white digital art piece depicting Jung Heewon from Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. Her right hand rests gently on the face of an enormous monster, which is so large that only three partial eyes and a portion of tentacle can be seen. She wears a distraught, tearful expression as she gazes up at the beast, the upper half of her body reflected in its middle eye. She is dressed in a burnt, torn-up blazer, tie, and button-up shirt, with her silvery-white hair floating loosely in the wind. Various scars, cuts, burns, and bloodstains mar her skin, and on the back of her right hand, an infinity symbol glows brightly. /end ID]

"The Duke of Somerset 2" - a(nother) drawing of the actor Brian Deacon in Henry VI, Part 2 (1983) directed by Jane Howell, done 1/29/2024 in about 10 or 15 minutes with one piece of willow charcoal and no erasing

#brian deacon #my drawing #2024 #charcoal #i wanna say this is a gesture drawing but not quite. it is quite impressionistic. i do wanna do more practice drawings #(i say as if most of the stuff i post on here isn't half-assed scraps) #like. i don't do a lot of complete fully-shaded drawings but most of my time drawing lately has been immersed in one of those or another #including the one i've been working on for the past couple of weeks after i finished that self-portrait. it's got me quite anxious that one #every time i stop working on it (including today... i did this for an exercise after putting it down) i feel like im closer to finishing it #but a part of me thinks ill never be done with it #shakespeare #visual art #jane howell #henry vi part 2 #bbc television shakespeare #brian deacon if you're reading this and i know you're not. hi you are sooo pretty #(as usual you can tell i'm far more interested in drawing faces than i am clothing. loool) #these sorts of practice help to break up the tension when i'm working on smth more effortful #it reminds me oh yeah i'm not a complete shitass can't do nothin artist #i just happen to be stuck on something HARD? never heard of it

can we see all matthias outfits ? 👉🏻👈🏻

matthias keeps it very simple

#river dipping #asks #anonymous #matthias evanoff #echthroi #ts4 cas #meant to reply to this earlier but started feeling ill and had to lay down </3 but anywayyy here u goooo #these aren't even all of his outfits lmao... #most of my ocs have every outfit category maxed out except for like one or two in case i need pose related outfits #but so okay. matthias isn't about flashing his wealth to ppl who don't get it so his clothing choices are expensive but not like... #monogramed all over and branded with the tags still on #i actually edited OUT a logo for prada on that first outfit in the second image lmao... he does not like logos on his clothes #the only accessories he ever wears are one of his watches or leather gloves of which you can see NEITHER in these photos but kjndfkjnd #i didn't have a pose that showed off his wrists/hands that didn't also clip with the clothes so </3 #and he wears black white gray and shades of brown and red if you can't tell.............. sometimes dark blues but doesn't deviate often #honestly my ocs are pretty influenced by my own color palette like i almost exclusively wear blacks and whites and shades of green or brown #also if u zoom in on that last pic w/ his sleep outfit you will not be seeing heaven anytime soon like jsyk don't do that

[yume-fanfare]

it's a gorgeous card though oh my god. the black+burgundy combination is perfect

#love that it has a pinkish shade too it's so good #AND THE NAIL POLISH!!! #love the way it's shaded too #most of the time in enst cards you can't tell what fabric the outfits are supposed to be made of which is a pain #but the red sash thing? this time i can clearly tell it's silk #mar's midnight rambles
