Dandelion Union Leaders stylization project is finally done!

Took longer than expected and it has been a ride, but I can’t say I didn’t have fun.

This piece was one of my early ventures into stylization and also one that showed me, even better, that stylizing can be freeing.

My favorites are probably Elrena and Strelitzia! Ones I’d like to re-draw most are Brain and Ventus!

Art process pictures are posted on my Art Process Tumblr

For the art process video tune in to my Youtube Channel!

Obnoxious watermarks have become a necessity due to AI theft, so you’re stuck with them - however, there is a Ko-Fi membership available with non-watermarked art by me (still signed though)

One of the weirdest things I love about TMA is how embarrassing it all is. Like, romanticism is fun sometimes, but embarrassment equally so.

If you've ever meaningfully interacted with the supernatural, you know that shit can be awkward. If you've ever had an office job, you know how embarrassing it can be! Pretty much if you've ever experienced any form of life, you know how embarrassing a day of existence is.

And my god Jon's life is embarrassing! He can't stop getting kidnapped, he doesn't have any friends, he can't even get his job done due to infinite supernatural interruptions. That's really embarrassing.

He's an adult who effectively has to relive being a child because he's thrust into a world that no longer makes sense, and that vulnerability is so real!

But Jon's not the only one who's going through embarrassing stuff, oh no! Martin is hopelessly in love with his cruel boss who barely looks at him; Tim and Sasha hooked up only for Sasha to break it off against Tim's wishes; and hell, Melanie literally got laughed off of YouTube and BECAME A MEME.

These people are going through awful, otherworldly terrors, but not once is it ignored that they must still suffer through painstakingly awkward everyday moments too.

I suppose it comes down to realism. Understanding that the supernatural can become just another part of life in an annoying way, and letting the characters be normal fumbling people makes it hit so much closer to home.

I think all this is why The Magnus Archives is popular not only as horror, but as an explanation of human relationships; the everyday realism is so deeply entwined with the otherworldly but both exist in their own right. And this in itself is realistic, as how far away is horror from your daily life, really? And how different is fear to embarrassment?

#I just think that in a world all about image there's a lot tk be said about the horror of embarrassment...#God i just love the humanity of TMA it's so important to me #Characters are awkward!!! If you're writing real people and your dialogue isn't overly stylised PLEASE LET THEM BE AWKWARD #(I have no idea if any of this even makes sense but I feel deeply passionate about it so hopefully that drives it into your brain 💀)#tma #the magnus archives #the magnus institute #jonathan sims #martin blackwood #jonmartin #jmart #tim stoker #sasha james #melanie king

heavenly virtues - medical malpractice, 1st degree murder, and breaking and entering

#zeno's art #ocs #original characters #reassassination #dr savory #octavia #emery onion reliquary #lets go over their designs!!!! yay!!!!!#starting with savory - a lot has changed but not that much #he's far taller and lankier than he was before and his hair is darker purple underneath rather than green #those were just cosmetic changes to bring more personality to his silhouette and improve focus on his face #otherwise - the shape of the hair highlight changed (from ovals to an X) as did the shoes (no more broken chain on his boot 💔)#and also i tried to make his face look older because he looked out of place compared to other characters around his age #really just small changes. his design is quite simple so there isnt much to majorly overhaul #for octavia once again there are both many and not that many changes #shes spiker than ever her face shape changed and so did the shape of her limbs #also those weird little red thingies on her hair are gone. never actually liked them that much #also i just wanna say - octavia's skirt has an X on it to signify that savory made it because all his stuff has X's also #onion had the most changes. most importantly - they do not have a nose anymore #(thats just stylisation dont worry they have a nose)#but anyway their shapes have become more defined and they have freckles now!!! yay!!!!#god i really dont have much to say do i . ummmm these are the final designs and most likely the ones that will show up in the actual comic #when i finally write past chapter 1 o_o #ok bye sorry for all that waffle #i also drew up some other designs but they're spoilers

#disco elysium #assigning characters my thoughts pt.1 #avoiding the problem of poses coming out too stiff because I haven't drawn human bodies from references in years by not drawing 90%#of the body 👍#(I do have another thing with a couple of full bodies even if it's much more stylised. but who knows when I'll finish it #if I'll finish it before I think it sucks. ai also have a fourth that I barely begun. and a fifth that's just in my head #who knows maybe I'll think they suck. I already think the one I doodled with kim's room was too rushed. needed a couple more panels)

related question does anyone have any good tips/resources for character design because i think i have spent maybe 2/3rds of my life trying to git gud at drawing stylised representations of people and i have never been successful even once

#i can do realism just fine if i'm working from a reference image #but the moment i try to stylise it i end up with a grotesque uncanny valley situation #or something that looks nothing like the character i'm trying to draw #be shh now

you actually GOTTA give characters with top surgery scars some gnarly looking scars they should look like the person made it themselves they should swirl around like vines on their chest they should glow they should look insane and fun actually . give em character

#still mad about that one weird 'tutorial' a friend sent me who said to 'never stylise scars from surgical procedures'#literally shut the fuck up . let me draw characters with cool looking scars #let me stylise the shit out of something i have on my own body fuck off lmao youre so boring if you think this way #drawing a magical cartoon character you made up in your mind who has the most boring surgery diagram looking scars.#ok. but i will make them glow in the dark and shaped like ancient greek pottery decorations. eat my ass #BTW MY FRIEND SENT IT TO ME TO SHIT ON IT WITH ME NOT TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO I WANNA BE VERY CLEAR LMAO #om du läser detta; 🫶#corp.krax

a bit on Aaron's hair.

I keep assuming people understand that the bubbly hair means curls- and I do say it on his refs, but I wanted to make a visual thing too.

Also cause I just wanted to draw him with non-stylised hair lol

#art #artists on tumblr #digital art #oc #humanoid #original character #FOREIGN #Aaron #my art #personal art #drawing him either way is fine #i like stylising it like that cause it gives him a round shape ya kno #something something shape language #also its way quicker to draw lol

This is my new OC Keyli. And her two cats Tofu and Charcoal. She just vibin.

She's a witch who loves magic and studying magic in all its forms , even potions and stuff. Basically she's a magic nerd and she's very carefree nice and optimistic. And wholesome. Very wholesome. Her two mighty kittens protec her against all evil and rude people. Although sometimes they kinda get scared and tuck into her pockets. But they are brave Bois!

I created her when I was under stress and I was heavily depressed so I made her to be the complete opposite. My need for peace , wholesomeness and pure positive vibes passed onto this artwork and I'm honestly very proud of her.
