hi, i ireally love your work and i don't know if you've answered this before but, what kinds of studies do you do or how did you learn color theory? i wanna get better at rendering and anatomy but im having trouble TT TT

Hi! Long answer alert. Once a chatterbox, always a chatterbox.

When I started actively learning how to draw about 10 1/2 years ago, I exclusively did graphite studies in sketchbooks. Here's a few examples—I mostly stuck to doing line drawings to drill basic shapes/contours and proportions into my brain. The more rendered sketches helped me practice edge control & basic values, and they were REALLY good for learning the actual 3D structure behind what I was drawing.

I'd use reference images that I grabbed from fitness forums, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, and some NSFW places, but you could find adequate ref material from figure drawing sites like Line of Action. LoA has refs for people (you can filter by clothed/unclothed, age, & gender), animals, expressions, hands/feet, and a few other useful things as well. Love them.

Learning how to render digitally was a similar story; it helped a lot that I had a pretty strong foundation for value/anatomy going in. I basically didn't touch color at all for ~2 years (except for a few attempts at bad digital or acrylic paint studies), which may not have been the best idea. I learned color from a lot of trial and error, honestly, and I'm pretty sure this process involved a lot of imitation—there were a number of digital/traditional painters whose styles I really wanted to emulate (notably their edge control, color choices, value distributions, and shape design), so I kiiind of did a mixture of that + my own experimentation.

For example, I really found Benjamin Björklund's style appealing, especially his softened/lost edges & vibrant pops of saturated color, so here's a study I did from some photograph that I'm *pretty* sure was painted with him in mind.

Learning how to detail was definitely a slow process, and like all the aforementioned things (anatomy/color/edge control/values/etc.) I'm still figuring it out. Focusing on edge control first (that is, deciding on where to place hard/soft edges for emphasizing/de-emphasizing certain areas of the image) is super useful, because you can honestly fool a viewer into thinking there's more detail in a piece than there actually is if you're very economical about where you place your hard edges.

The most important part, to me, is probably just doing this stuff over and over again. You're likely not going to see improvement in a few weeks or even a few months, so don't fret about not getting the exact results you want and just keep studying + making art. I like to think about learning art as a process where you *need* to fail and make crappy art/studies—there's literally no way around it—so you might as well fail right now. See, by making bad art you're actually moving forward—isn't that a fun prospect!!

It's useful to have a folder with art you admire, especially if you can dissect the pieces and understand why you like them so much. You can study those aspects (like, you can redraw or repaint that person's work) and break down whether this is art that you just like to look at, or if it's the kind of art that you want to *make.* There's a LOT of art out there that I love looking at, probably tens of thousands of styles/mediums, but there's a very narrow range that I want to make myself.

I've mentioned it in some ask reply in the past, but I really do think looking at other artist's work is such a cheat code for improving your own skills—the other artist does the work to filter reality/ideas for you, and this sort of allows you to contact the subject matter more directly. I can think of so many examples where an artist I admired exaggerated, like, the way sunlight rested on a face and created that orange fringe around its edge, or the greys/dull blues in a wheat field, or the bright indigo in a cast shadow, or the red along the outside of a person's eye, and it just clicked for me that this was a very available & observable aspect of reality, which had up until that point gone completely unnoticed! If you're really perceptive about the art you look at, it's shocking how much it can teach you about how to see the world (in this particular case I mean this literally, in that the art I looked at fully changed the way I visually processed the world, but of course it has had a strong effect on my worldviews/relationships/beliefs).

Thanks so much for sending in a question (& for reading, if you got this far)! I read every single ask I receive, including the kind words & compliments, which I genuinely always appreciate. Best of luck with learning, my friend :)

hello!! ^^ this is my first time requesting, so hopefully i'm doing this correctly :;

can I request a trafalgar law/reader hurt to comfort oneshot, where the two of them get into a really big argument or fight and reader decides to leave him alone for a long time, so THAT eventually leads to some problems between the two and Law has to make things right??

(basically reader gives law the silent treatment, and law is too prideful to admit his wrongs)

thank you in advance!!! I've really enjoyed reading your kid works, so i'd be happy to see more of your writing :)

☆Trafalgar Law x Reader giving him the silent treatment after an argument

Hello dear anon, don't worry, you did it perfectly and thank you so much for your request. I had a lot of fun writing it and I hope it will match your expectation. Enjoy our dear emo boy!

CW : g/n reader, hurt&comfort, Law is bad at express how he feels, let me know if I forgot something

WC : around 2,000 words, whoops, I love Law way too much, I got carried away

Law is not a man of many words. That's the less you can tell. Always quiet about his plans, sometimes, you still struggle to understand what's going on in this beautiful mind. Usually, you just deal with it, supporting him as much as you can. But today, it's too much to handle. He is perpetually busy all day and night, and sometimes the bed is cold, and you know he didn't sleep with you. It hurts. You just have the feeling to carry on with this relationship alone.

"We need to talk, Law." Busy with probably another shenanigan you don't know about, he totally ignores you and continues to read his newspaper. Again. Heavy-hearted, you close your eyes and clench your firsts. You can't step back and always try to round the corners. "Law", you insist. He finally drops the newspaper. "What, y/n-ya?" He asks, annoyed by the interruption.

"Honestly, lately… I feel totally sidelined. You're always focused on your plans I don't nothing about, or busy with your patients. And it hurts" Law looks surprised by your words. Usually, you're more the one trying to smooth the things and trying to be super-comprehensive, because you do love Law, and you know he had been through a lot. Supporting him is the least you can do. But what about you? Your emotions?

"I've not neglected you, y/n-ya. I'm just busy." Yes. That's the whole point. "You're always busy. If you don't need me anymore, just say it," you snarls, anger slowly heating your chest and burning your cheeks. Communication is maybe the key, but it's a struggle to communicate with someone as reserved as Law. The worst? You know he loves you. He's just… an aloof. Always distrustful. "Answer me," your voice is shaky from both anger and distress. " I have things to do, y/n-ya. Don't act like a child. I still feel the same way about you, and you know. "

Maybe it's true, but you don't believe him anymore. You don't even remember the last time you kissed that sweet lips on him. And the feeling of his fingers entwined with yours, when you redraw the lines of his tattoos, cuddling with him in bed. How can you feel the absence of someone you see every day? "I miss you," you confess. "But I'm right here. With you. I need to get those things done, so please be patient." Why can't he understand? With that unreadable face, he's still sitting on his chair. What's going on his mind? "What things, then?" He sighs. "I can't tell."

No. It's enough. Now, you're mad. "Stop pushing me away! I miss you. Do you realize the absurdity of missing someone I can see every day? It's been four days since we last slept together! This morning, you didn't kiss me! You're always taking me for granted and I feel like I'm transparent!" At last, you manage to get a response from him. He removes his hat, runs his hand through his hair, and his eyes darken as your anger is about to explode. "Can you not be patient? I need to… finish what I'm working on. "

No.

Not this time.

He has already stated that too many times before. Before Dressrosa. Before Wano. You already waited way too long. Even for someone as patient as you, it's too much. " I'm tired," you confess, the voice which with emotions. "It can't keep going like this. Why am I always the second choice for you?"

Maybe it's because you always give everything you have to him. Supporting him, regardless of what. You had to break his armor several times to get closer to him, despite his distant and detached personality. The moment he finally confessed about his past was beautiful. The nights you spend together, simply talking about your lives, goals, and dreams, are rooted in your heart. A warm memory of two souls bonding and finding comfort through words and confession. Now, everything is just fading away. And you hate how angry and confused you sound, when Law is just as calm as always. Does he even notice what you just said? You can't tell.

"You don't even answer me. Such a shame to be named heart pirates when you don't even have one." you explodes, shouting the words.

"I don’t think it's the right time to talk about this because you're too emotional y/n-ya. "

"And you're too logical!"

The saying goes that opposites attract, but you're not so certain anymore.

"I'm just so fucking done!" Now, you're screaming and Law growls, "Shh, don't yell, everyone will hear us," he says, caring way too much about his privacy. "I don't care! Just say something! " He looks so tired, with his usual dark rings under his eyes. "Leave me or not, but do something because I'm so done with this shit. I'm the only one trying to communicate and make things right!"

You slam the door of his small office with anger and tears prickling at the corner of your eyes. He doesn't follow you. He remains confined, choking on his own pride. He probably thinks you will be back soon, as always after an argument. But not this time. You're really done. It's his time to make some efforts, to prove that he actually cares about you and your relationship.

At the diner, he doesn't show up. During the night either. It's not easy to distance yourself from him. But you will not change your mind. After three days, he finally starts to realize that you will not come after him.

Why aren't you bringing him his morning coffee, massaging his tensed shoulders, and spreading your stupid concealer under his eyes? All those small actions you always do to lighten his burden as a captain… damn, he never felt that lonely. But what can he do now? How can he fix the mess he made?

The Polar Tang's ambiance is as cold as a winter island after a week. Everybody noticed the huge tensions between you and the Law. The captain is irritable, barking orders at everyone and looking for you everywhere, but you're just hiding from him. He's exhausted by this situation. He's starting to understand what you said: he misses you, even if you're here.

It's becoming too much for his tortured soul after 10 straight days. The pain in his heart is unbearable. In reality, he feels like a child he never had the chance to be: terrified, lost and alone. Are you going to leave him too? Why is everyone around him always dying or disappearing? Is it always his fault? Now, he feels miserable, almost crying alone in his office. He can't even focus when Bepo asks him to bandage a small wound he just made. His hair is messy because he runs his hands through it too much. Law sighs heavily. His nerves completely fading away as he struggles to bandage Bepo. Why the hell is he crying over a poor bandage?

He's exhausted. Physically and mentally. An he misses you. Deeply. He understands everything you said that day. He understands how you have felt lately and it's a horrible sensation. You didn't deserve the way he pushed you away from everything. He misses the warmth of your body, the passion in your sweet kisses, and your hands redrawing his chest tattoo.

He needs to make things right.

In this situation, what Corazon would have done?

Probably running after you after slamming the door, falling miserably on the ground, and crying pathetically with an ugly nose running. Law frowns. But at this point, he's so desperate that he wouldn't mind crawling and begging for your forgiveness. He stumbles out of his office, tired, and looks for you. How can you hide on such a small ship? "Have you seen y/n?" He asks to everyone and they all they say no. Are they lying? Where have you gone? Did something happen to you? Poor Law is so stressed right now, more than usual. He spent the entire day looking for you and failed. Is it too late? Have you just left? Without a goodbye? No. It can't be. He needs to see, kiss, and hug you. Just one more time, just one last time. Even if feels that he doesn't deserve you.

He slams the door of the bedroom you used to share with brutal force. As he takes off his hat before laying on the mattress, he sighs and an idea crosses his mind. But he's afraid. Because if his plan is not working, it will mean you have already left the Polar Tang. For good. Hands shaking, he finally moves his fingers and mutters, 'room, shambles'. Your plushie disappears as you suddenly pop on the bed.

Oh, thank god, you didn't leave. "Y/n-ya" he whispers, his voice thick with emotions.

Your heart is pounding as you remain silent. Ten days. Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin helped you hide from Law for ten days straight. Giving him the silent treatment was a difficult choice and all you can hope for is that it actually worked. "I'm not a man of many words," he confesses. "But I do love you. I'm sorry for always pushing you away, please forgive me. It's just that... I need to keep you out of trouble. If you don't know my current plan for now, it's safer. " For someone as quiet as him, he's talking a lot. But still not enough."I think I've taken you for granted, but I want to be there for you. Please, let me stay by your side. Don't leave me, please." He almost begs, his voice thick with emotions.

His gentle touch on your cheek almost melts you. You missed those beautiful, smooth hands on your face. You get closer, enjoying the warm heat heating up your chest. "You're so beautiful", he whispers. He looks so genuinely innocent, discovering again all the small details of your face. What has he done to be so fortunate in love? Does he only deserve you? You can tell that he's not even sure as he waits for your answer, trying to hide the slight shaking in his movements.

"I love you, Law." You gently assure him by kissing the tattoos on his fingers. As the solace embraces his heart, Law is melting inside.

He didn't lose you. It's not too late. "I know you're not good at words, so I won't ask for much. What you just said is already perfect. Thank you for confessing to me. I know it's hard for you to open up." you reassure him. "What should I do, y/n-ya? How can I show you that I care about you? I won't repeat this situation twice." His eyes are now shining with pure determination. "Just the small things you used to do before. Sleeping with me, giving me a hello and a goodnight kiss... you remember that? Our routines." Law nods, probably taking mental note. "I have to kiss you twenty times." You raise an eyebrow confusedly. "Why?"

He shrugs. "It's been ten days since I last saw you. And I'm supposed to kiss you all mornings and evenings." He's so serious right now, you can't help but burst out laughing. He's not joking at all. God, you love this nerd so much. The confusion on his face is even more hilarious. " I love you," you sigh between two laughs. "Why are you laughing? Am I wrong?" That man is so smart, cold and logical, but with love… he's just a mess. A beautiful mess. The one you will always love and cherish. "You're so adorable."

And now, he's blushing. How dare you call him adorable? "Just come here," he sighs, grabs your hips, and sits you on his laps. His lips are sealed to yours, and he kisses you. Twenty times. And he's counting. Every kiss is filled with passion, love, unspoken emotions, and sweet promises.

And, as always when you're together in the same bed, you end up redrawing the tattoos on his chest. As you gently caress his skin, he falls asleep, the tension finally leaving his face. You cradle your head against his chest. His heart is slowly beating, and he looks so calm right now.

You are here with him, and his tortured mind can finally get some sleep.

Heyy babes justwonderingr if you'd let me be 🪼 anon if so? 😁

(DELULU WARNING!!)

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Sooo i was just thinking what if Felix revealed that he has a girlfriendto stay, *Y/n*.Stays were really happy for him and stuff but *one* day Y/n and Felix decided if the 18+ fanart started happening,and *it did*.So they were looking at the poses and were wondering if they so *try* these sex postions. 🤭 ik ik its pretty delulu but you dont have to if not so its totally fine! ill find someone else to if so!😁 (Soft!Dom!Felix x sub!fem!short!reader plz 😚)

This turned out way cuter than I expected and honestly, it fits? Of course you can be jellyfish nonnie, thank you for your request!!

Life Imitates Art

❣ Summary: A spicy discovery turns into a point of inspiration for you and Felix. ❣ ❣ Word Count: 1.1k ❣ Warnings: Soft, Slight Dom! Felix, Sub! Reader, light humor, fluff, smut, Kama Sutra pose; Queen of Heaven, unprotected sex, creampie, slight degradation ❣ ❣ Female! Reader [No use of Y/N] | You/Your pronouns ❣ ❣ Additional Tags: Felix is referred to as Lixie, Lix, Baby, and Love, Reader is referred to as Sunshine and Baby ❣ Stray Kids Masterlist ❣ General Masterlist

“Oh… my god.”

Your eyes widened at the picture sitting on your phone screen; a wonderful, digitally drawn picture of you and your idol boyfriend in a position you couldn’t even begin to name.

“Lixie, have you seen this?”

The brunet haired man hummed from his upside down position on your shared bed, craning his head to peek at you over his phone, “What? Is it another patch update? I swear, if they nerfed my champ again-”

“What? Lix, no, shut up - look.” Turning your hand, you stretched your arm enough for him to meet you halfway and take your phone, his eyes squinting before widening almost immediately.

“Is this-”

“Yeah!”

“And that’s-”

“Yeah!”

Ever since you and Felix decided to go public with your relationship, the reactions from Stays were mixed but overall good; and, from that reveal came an influx of support and even fanarts depicting dates you two have been on, redraws of instagram posts, and even solo portraits of you. Though, in addition to the… safer content, came a silent undercurrent of not-so-safe content that you couldn’t help but peek into time and time again - you know, curiosity and cats and whatnot.

He went quiet for a moment, but you could see his eyes searching the screen before he hoisted himself into a seated position, his thumb scrolling across the screen leisurely.

“Holy shit… There’s so many…” Felix didn’t spare you a glance while scrolling, pink tongue peeking out to subconsciously lick his lips, “Some of them don’t really get your tits right but we can’t really blame them- Oh! This one looks fun!”

“Felix, I wasn’t showing you them as recommendations!” Reaching to take your phone back, he evades you with a delighted giggle, pressing on an entirely new post with blushing cheeks.

“But- Wait! Look at this one - you can’t tell me this doesn’t look fun!”

Turning the device to you, your eyes land on an image that makes your mouth run dry.

You - or at least, their depiction of you - are laid on your back with a blond Felix on top of you, almost in a mating press but it’s different; your legs are more towards your chest than out, and Felix’s hands are by your shoulders, keeping up elevated yet close. There’s faint imagery of hickeys dotting your skin, and a mix of hickeys and scratches marking what’s shown of his neck and shoulders.

Eyes flicking down to the caption, you quickly read the title - The Sun and His Queen [of Heaven].

“Well?” his saccharine hum nearly startled you, your focus on the fanart distracting you from his subtle scooting toward where you sat, “You think we can recreate this one?”

There were times where you praised his eye for detail, and this was one of those exact moments; hickeys marking your chest and neck, your nails pressed into his back, angry red lines highlighting previous trails left behind, and similar love bites blossoming on his fair skin.

A faint sheen of sweat coated your skin as you laid folded beneath him; your knees as close to your chest as they could go while his arms kept them trapped against the sides of his torso, helping you hold the pose while his hips slotted into the space between your thighs.

It was almost like a mating pose, but you felt more open, more connected, and with the slow, deep strokes Felix was delivering, you felt like you were on cloud 9.

He wasn’t faring any better, either, not with the way moans vibrated past his lips, his forearms flexing as he supported himself above you, skin glistening and freckled cheeks dashed in a pretty blush.

“Fuck, you’re s-so wet, sunshine - fuckin’ dripping, b-bet you’re soaking the sheets.”

A wanton moan fell from your lips as you watched him with lidded eyes, pinned and pressed and stuck with no other option other than to watch and take it; the lewd squelching sound each time he rocked his hips forward - his cock pressing right into that soft spot at the front of your cunt - sending chills down your spine.

“L-Lix, faster, more-”

His hips shot forward with a harsh thrust, fucking a squeal straight form your throat as he picked up his pace at your pleading, teeth sinking into his lower lip as warm brown eyes studied your face.

“Like this? Need me just like this, huh? And here I thought you didn’t want the recommendation.”

Even if you had the energy to bite back at his subtle dig, you wouldn’t have had the brain power to do so from the way it was currently leaking out of your ears, the soft head of his dick nudging your g-spot with every delicious in, out motion - the slapping of his balls against the bottom of your ass adding to the filthy sounds filling the bedroom.

“A-Ah- baby, so- fuck- I can’t-” You weren’t even sure what you wanted to say, your mouth running solely for the fact of making sounds other than the high pitched ‘ah’s and ‘mmh’s that dominated your vocal chords.

Felix gritted out a moan, eyebrows pinching as your fluttering walls clenched around him, “S-Shit, tell me you’re close, baby - I don’t think I-”

“‘M so close, Felix, so fucking close, love-”

His hands fisted the sheets, knuckles turning white as he doubled his efforts into harder thrusts, sacrificing the speed he previously had in favor of making you reach your peak before he did - and, oh, did you reach it.

Within a few more targeted thrusts your body shook, pussy throbbing and mouth falling open to let out the most pornographic moan he had ever heard - enough for his pace to stutter before painting your walls white with his cum with a choked whine.

Blinking your eyes open - not even sure when you even closed them in the first place - you were welcomed to the sight of your flushed boyfriend, eyes dazed and sparkling as he lazily thrusted into you one last time before untangling your limbs from him with a soft sigh.

You both groaned as he pulled out of your fluttering hole, not even caring about the cum slowly making its way out of you as he flopped onto the bed beside you; giving you the space to stretch your sore legs before tucking himself into your side and peppering butterfly kisses along your shoulder and neck.

“Y’know, I don’t think I’ll be able to walk after that,” you laughed breathlessly, highly aware of the tingling sensation in your toes.

“Try being on top! It felt like I was doing the hardest plank in the world!” Felix giggled, nuzzling his sweaty face against the side of yours before placing a kiss to your hot cheek, “You did great, though - it was incredible.”

Humming in agreement, you turned your head to look at him with nothing but pure love and adoration, “It was, but I just have one little thing…”

He tilted his head slightly, silently urging you to go on.

“Next time, I pick the pose.”

What's wrong with using a pose ref lol, didn't you just redraw a screencap from a tv show

See this is why I prefaced it by saying it's not objectively "wrong", it's a personal take and a grey area. Ultimately if an artist tells you they're uncomfortable with something and you choose to do it anyway it's on you if they then complain about it or ask you to reconsider, it's not the law. You can always tell them they're wrong but then don't be surprised if they take issue with that lol

But for a more detailed answer, I know I've said this a thousand times but I'll always hammer it in. I think there's definitely leeway to do redraws of things across media (so if you redraw a screenshot from an animated show and link said redraw etc, I see it as more of a transformative thing and a tribute than just straight up copying. Same for live action or even photographs - the same way that if someone took one of my drawings and decided to replicate it in photography or animation with a very clear link to it I would see it as more of a tribute because it's transformative) but even then if anyone was shown to take an issue with it I'd just Not Do It. Also the vast majority of the time these things are memes and very obviously a nod to the original one rather than me saying "look this is totally something canonical to the characters I'm drawing and didn't originate elsewhere"

There's times when I don't take an issue with people using my poses as inspiration or reference but a lot of my work does sort of just work as pieces of a comic or a scene that I don't like seeing repurposed for other characters. But that's the keyword: I don't like it. Not gonna send the police after you for it or claim copyright or even force you to take it down but I may *ask* you to reconsider it and think about it. And if it's a recurrent thing and I see you do it a lot I may insist 🤷‍♂️ it's a boundary I established but others are free to feel differently

ALSO I'm not referring to accidentally creating shit that's too similar. We all take inspiration from each other so that's bound to happen. I'm mostly referring to when it's very obvious a single artwork was used as a direct reference - and again, no shade if people do it without realising the artist might feel bad about it. I never assume ill intent from the get go

#ask #im not the only artist feeling this way too #so I think it's just something to keep in mind you know

Starting off the 2024 season with Keiki because I've been thinking about her a lot lately

Artist's Note:

I decided to experiment a little more with my rendering style via using a more traditional approach to drawing in the shadows. I like how much texture this piece has as a result, my friend told me it looks like something out of a storybook and that was the look I was inspired by so I'm glad it turned out that way.

Also, when it came to doing the front view of the nose, I just went "fuck it" and made it a dot because why learn anatomy when you can just default to what 5 year old you did when drawing faces?

I also had an idea of how to draw Keiki's dress as that has always been something I've struggled with since it's kinda confusing to draw lol. I also gave Keiki some earrings in the shape of a kofun tomb because we need more Keiki with earrings (I could have also taken from IRL but I'll save that for when I draw Keiki next). Speaking of Kofun tombs, I made the thing she's laying down on the shape of a Kofun tomb, because this is also kind of a redraw of some old Keiki fanart from 2021 that I will show right here.

I liked the concept of it (i.e. Keiki in the middle of a Kofun keyhole with the fire thing she has surrounding her) so I decided to try at that concept again just for fun. Back then I was very adamant on staying as close to canon as possible, but now I'm a lot more lenient with how I draw the characters. The pose in the 2021 drawing was inspired by that one Shinra-Bansho records MV where Keiki showed up for 5 seconds and the rest of it was Yachie but yeah. Also I always thought Keiki's apron was a dark green BUT NO IT WAS JUST A DARK SHADE OF FUCKING TEAL ZUN WHAT IS THE COLOUR THEORY BULLSHIT YOU HAVE CONFUSED ME FOR SO LONG-

anyways, I would say this is a pretty strong start to 2024 art wise, I'm gonna keep experimenting with this new rendering style because I like it a lot!

Below I put a comparison between the two drawings in case any of you wanted to see the two drawings side by side

I’ve been avoiding tumblr so I can know absolutely nothing about the sunshine court (slightest details feel like spoilers to me) (I wanna go in completely blind)

Also, art block has been a real mean bitch. I can’t finish anything

I do feel like I’ve neglected y’all tho since I’ve been workin in my sketchbook and I don’t post those doodles here

So here’s some wips!

I recently watched Jennifer’s Body and my sister wanted me to draw Allison as Jennifer (Allison’s Body AU for the wip?👀)

I saw that ppl were making aftg ocs so I wanted to try sharing some of my own (y’all know I’m crazy about making ocs) I was gonna draw one or two from each of the teams (original teams and canon teams) but I only got so far

First guy is Achillesz, captain of the Fennecs (originally known as wild dogs) Eris, striker for the Ravens 2023 (I was thinking of changing her to goalie) and Marlynn, dealer for the Hyenas

I was also going to draw one of my Foxes but again, art block is killing me

Drawing Milo looking in the mirror vs when he’s older (older vers wasn’t saved cuz again, art block)

Hazbin designs for the Twinyards (not an AU!)

I did it for fun, not an AU yet. All I’ll share about it is that Andrew died in that car crash with Tilda and Aaron over dosed afterward

These are the only prototypes I actually saved. Final designs will definitely be different

Nicky sticker for the sticker sheet wip

My sister recently rewatched Bridgerton in preparation for the new season and she asked me to make an AU but with Milo and his future partner. She wants Milo to be Daphne so I was redrawing a scene (I can’t show the full redraw yet )

Here are some things my sister decided for the AU

- Milo is Neil’s son from a past relationship

- Neil and Andrew have multiple kids (but not as many as the Bridgertons actually do)

- Andrew died in an accident (no bee because I convinced her not to)

- Jean plays the role of Lady Danbury

hi, firstly, i love your art so much!! fengqing make me so weak ;-; secondly, do you have any tips for lack of motivation/fear of failure? like that feeling when drawing seems scary because you’re not sure if it’s going to look the way you want it to or it’s hard to get yourself to produce something just because drawing is difficult?

hello!! thank you for your kind words 💖✨ fengqings will always be here for us!!

i think that if you are not motivated to draw, there's no point in forcing yourself just to produce something, because pressuring yourself will just make you stressed. i think you can get more motivation in many ways, but you should just give it time.

for me, even doing something unrelated to drawing can give me motivation/ideas to draw!! for example, if i go shopping and i see some cute outfits, or a nice cafe, or i went somewhere fun with my friends, it will make me want to draw my fav characters doing it too hehe🤭🤭 in any case, you dont have to feel bad about not drawing. not drawing for 6 months can seem long, but its nothing in comparison to all the years that you are alive 🫡🌟

for the avoiding failure part, you can consider that a drawing doesnt ever have to be finished. one secret about drawings is that you can fix them how many times you want and you can spend months on one drawing if you want !!

i think it's the best thing to accept that you will never nail a drawing in one try. if the arm looks wrong then it just looks wrong and you can just draw over it again. if the face looks bad then you can just erase it and redraw from scratch how many times you want. in my case, i will absolute have like 60 layers of sketch before i colour lol

me duplicating my layer and redrawing each part until i get it right (2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2) etc. etc.

you can't fix a thing without putting something down on the canvas first so i say just draw it however. then you can see what looks bad and fix it one by one. just work towards making it look the way you want it to.

i often post a "finished" drawing, and then come back to it months later and redraw some parts and post it again. i just think it's nice to think that you can always decide that you can still work on it!! my drawing is a dear plant that i grew myself by watering it and giving it sunshine over the days. 🌿

for a concrete advice, i would say to look up references even for things that you think you know how to draw.

it gets soso more easy when you stop relying on your brain waves to hallucinate a picture onto the canvas. if you don't know how to draw a hand holding a phone, just google "hand holding a phone stock image" and then copy the position!!

i drew both of these in under 1 minute ↓

seeing the reference pic made it easier to identify where is mistaken, and helps you improve the drawing easily.

it doesn't have to look exactly the same as the ref, but it helps you visualize better.

ALSO!!!! i will never stop recommending "PureRef" to everyone!! (a software to paste all your reference images to have them on your screen while you draw) !! you can move around the little board window and no need for a second monitor 🌟✨

in any case, keeping yourself interested in a lot of things will also make it easier to find reference pictures (by searching more precisely) + have more ideas/inspirations to draw!!

in think overall you should just let let your interests take you where they will.

happy drawing !!! 🤭💖🌟

#moko replies #anonymous #one thign about me is that i have sketching disease bc when i took a design course they forced us to submit 30 sketches before we can start #and then you realize that your first inspiration that you thought was good is never actually good #i guess i want to say to just let go of every little sketch #some of them just exist to make the “bad drawing” exit your body before you can make a good one #wow i keep talking for hours HAPPY SOUTHERN GENERALS SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i like talking about drawing with my friends on tumbleerrrrrr

Hi! New reader here! I just got to the part where Hope tries to open her injured eye. It was portrayed as rly cloudy, but I’m not sure how it got that cloudy so fast? It had happened Very recently, and while Vicious’s claws definitely damaged the cornea, idk if that was enough time for scar tissue to have accumulated so thick. It was more likely that it would have been swollen or misshapen, but not opaque/milky yet. As well, though the scar/injury definitely would make her ‘legally blind’ in that eye, it’s highly unlikely even w that damage that she would lose 100% of her vision. Corneal Opacity obstructs light/vision, but it’s quite likely that she would still be able to see brash lights and shadows, maybe some shapes (likely clearer toward the edges of vision, but perpetually out of focus there)

I point this out as someone who is blind in one eye myself from an injury as a child, and that generally we don’t really like the portrayal of “cloudy eyes=blind” in media. It’s usually used as visual shorthand, but bc ppl see it used that way, they think that’s what all blind ppl look like. I’ve gotten ppl who’ve tried and ‘caught’ some of my friends as ‘not blind’ bc their eyes weren’t white/cloudy, which is generally, not the case unless there is serious injury or disease in the eye. As for the 100% vision, we also get ppl who will wave or clap in our faces to try and ‘catch’ us (bc for some reason ppl just think ppl fake being blind for ‘benefits’—what benefits??) and we will always flinch bc 1) that’s the normal reaction, it’s sound and air close to your face, your body will instinctively flinch away from it. And 2) bc many of us still have some amount of useable vision, and getting that close is something even someone w very low percentage of useable vision could detect.

Not gonna ask you to redraw it of course, that’s entirely up to you, and it’s an ongoing, high-intensive webcomic and the page in question is quite a bit back there, but if we see it again plus the POV of Hope’s vision, if you drew a rough lining of that half of the picture, then filled it in with intense white/gray grittiness, more concentrated in the middle and a bit less on the extreme sliver of the outer eye (in Hope’s case, I doubt there would be too much of the eye that wasn’t covered by the scar tissue, Lion claws are huge and thick and at this point she’s had plenty of time to form a significant scar) and the vague impression of light/shadow, that’s a more accurate portrayal of blindness. The eye itself is almost guaranteed to be misshapen, that is, the iris and pupil, not the orb itself (it would have had to puncture through the cornea, and if that was the case she’d not really have an eye) something like a droopy part near the direction of the scar, and a bit more of an oval-ish shape (pics for reference can help if you can do that, otherwise not making it too extreme but enough that it’s visibly a scar and injury in the eye. These are all just suggestions! If you decide you’d like to do a more stylized version of this, just making the iris a bit raised and a little wider at the ends of the scar, and for POV just airbrush w a gritty texture and put some vague shading.

I really love this comic, and it’s portrayal of disability (Hope is just. I’ll cry) but that was just something that nicked me a bit. It’s hard to do everything right, and really hard for a personal project! You’ve done amazing, and honestly this is nitpicky of me I think, I just thought with the positive rep of limb loss I thought I’d give a little advice ig on blind rep, from a partially blind person myself. (thank you SO. MUCH. For not making her ‘mourn’ the limb she doesn’t have. She just doesn’t have it, it’s who she is. She’s not lesser or in parts bc of it, she deals w it, and though it’s still a disability and affects her as such, it’s not something she needs to cry over. She’s always been this way, and she’ll make it through.)

So, first of all: thank you so much for giving an informative and detailed input on this aspect of Hope's character. We truly appreciate it.

We've always intended to show Hope's eye injury gradually changing condition from her POV and her being able to open the eye slightly eventually, so we're not through with representing blindness or partial blindness through her.

As for your comments regarding what we've already shown, Cat did refer to references on that particular front as she did endeavour to get things accurate. While she is willing to admit that she may have got things wrong, the issue of people stereotyping blind individuals based on one form of how the condition presents itself doesn't mean that one form is not accurate or valid, if you feel me? The true issue here is people's ableism towards blind or partially blind individuals and assuming that a disability must present itself in a certain way to "count" (i.e. in a way they're familiar/comfortable with when stfu it's not about you?) when disabilities in general do not work like that.

But I also completely get that there is a need to break down the assumption that all eye conditions work like this. I know what it feels like to be held to a certain standard by my disabilities and it sucks. If there's one thing worse than just flat-out intolerant ableism towards disabled individuals, it's ableism under the guise of 'i understand your condition better than you do bc i saw it on TV once' ugh But yeah, we've put a pin in the helpful description you've provided and will take this on board moving forward because - like you've pointed out - this is how eye injuries actually work. We especially needed this input since we planned on having Hope being able to have the eye open eventually too. Cat certainly wants to go in and fix that panel with her eye opening in the relevant panel and make it not-cloudy, and what you said about the greyscale and filter idea for the panel afterwards where it's her POV will also be implemented. Thank you again for this advice and for explaining it so well, we always appreciate input like this. <33 And thank you again (again) for the kind comments on Hope's character. It's exactly why we opted to not have her injure the limb like Nothing did and have her be born with the condition instead. Not that we're opposed to that kind of representation, as we intend to cover it somewhat with Bronze and the loss of his limb and how he and the other lions of the Thundering Mountains adapted to it. But yeah, we felt like doing things differently a tad with our main protagonist. c: - RJ

Current digital art process!

Acting on @shkika 's request because making my redraw for this post actually ended up giving me more confidence in my digital art process! As such, I'm gonna use it as a reference. And if this walkthrough of sorts turns out nice, I might do it again as my process evolves!

I started off with a quick sketch of sorts, trying to focus both on movement and volume, and get the general idea of where each element is located. I edit the image dimensions and placement of things a lot in this phase, as my ideas often tend to change once I actually begin drawing them. In this case, as I got it down, I decided I wanted it to look like some cheesy animal motivational poster, so that influenced where the text was.

From there, I began to clean and sometimes edit the sketch, mainly by thickening the lines to make the shapes more definite, and erasing what wasn't necessary and interfered with other parts. Volume is one of my biggest focuses in my drawings, so I try my best to get the volume of each character at least hinted at with the lines. This is something that will probably remain in my process for a while, as I quite dislike doing separate lineart and like the messy, sketchy feel anyway.

I also wanna mention, in addition to having references and such in other windows, I've recently begun having a second mini window of my current drawing off to the side so I can see what it looks like overall more easily, regardless of how much I zoom in on and flip the main window. It's quite helpful!

For reference, this is what the final sketch looked like:

Then, I went on to add the flat colors. Another tip: I almost always set my sketch layer to "Lumi & Shade" because I think it makes the line colors a lot richer, but since it's based on what colors are underneath, it colors the lines a lot more individually than changing the sketch color as a whole. Here's some comparison to a version without the effect (left):

Then, I add some shading using a (really nice) marker brush. This is honestly one of my favorite parts of the process, just trying to carve out all the volumes, especially since I usually use a pretty blue color for shadows!

Sometimes, I honestly just leave drawings finished at this step, because I adore the sketchy look so much, and because I really don't like the tediousness of more realistic rendering in the painting process; from what I've seen/experienced, it often involves having to basically paint the entire image over again, which I've realized I find REALLY boring (and is also why I clean the sketch instead of making a new lineart layer). As such, one of my hopes is to reach a point where I could almost completely avoid having to clean up the image in a traditional painting method, instead being able to lay down lines and colors so well that they convey nearly all the volume necessary on their own, still have that sketchy appeal, yet also look finished and professional.

Alas, I did do a bit of clean up on this image, but I think it still turned out alright!

Here's the finished drawing! I'll have to practice with this process a bit more to truly solidify it as my digital go-to, but nonetheless, I think this came out adorable! Thanks again shkika for the ask, and thanks to @mintscampi for the sweet prompt! I hope you guys like it!

BANANA FISH - ASH | EIJI Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I decided to repost this old fic as part of Tickletober (2 chase) 🙃 It comes with a redraw of the old artwork ✨✍💖👌 I hope you enjoy it 🤭💖

___

Summary: It’s been a long and boring day until Eiji decides to pull a little prank on a sleeping Lynx that greatly backfires 🙃

Notes: Beware ~ lots of tickles ahead 😉 (Also probably some swearing if I remember correctly 😂💥) Yes! This fic is 3 years old!! Can you believe it??!! 😱😳🙈 And it was the first I ever wrote 😆🙃🙈 (Please excuse any mistakes, English is not my native language 😆) Also.. the old artwork for this fic got “lost”.. For some reason the file on my PC was corrupted.. and I only had it in very low resolution... (you can still find it in the Dokodoki Timeportal though) But I thought I might present you with a new one 💪✨💖

Word Count: 3199

---

Eiji had seen it many times before.

Those green eyes were viciously glistening, emitting this undeniable aura of impending danger. But it was the very first time that he found himself being targeted, his composure instantly crumbling under Ash's killer gaze. So there he was, skeltering across the living room of their new spacious apartment in a wild mixture of childlike frenzy but also sheer panic. Whether or not he was indeed being chased by a ferocious animal or just a very pissed teenager, he still felt like a little rabbit running for his dear life.

Eiji knew very well that he could have easily avoided this mess. It could have been a peaceful evening, chilling on the couch, drinking beer together, just relaxing once in a while. Yet still, it was in fact a can of beer that had initiated this scene only minutes ago.

It had been one of those dreary days. Eiji had a lot of these since they moved into this new apartment. He really liked it, although he didn't dare to ask how Ash could get ahold of such a place. But spending day after day in here, taking pictures, cooking, doing laundry, shopping for groceries, taking pictures once again of the street below, Eiji truly started to feel like a housewife. As much as he enjoyed spending some peaceful days after all they had been through until now, being alone in this huge place all day just made him feel like going stale.

Eiji had just walked in, two bags full of groceries in his arms, his eyes widening in excitement at the sight of Ash's signature denim jacket. The thought of Ash being home early today even made him forget how much he hated to see the other's belongings scattered upon the floor. Quickly getting rid of his shoes, Eiji entered the living room, to find Ash lying on the couch, sleeping. He couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of him. It's been a while since he saw the blonde gang leader so relaxed. As a matter of fact, it was kind of a miracle, seeing Ash sleep at all. He truly hadn't been home a lot lately. Eiji didn't even bother asking anymore where Ash was going all the time. It would have been fruitless anyway. All the more Eiji felt his mood lightening at the mere thought of finally spending some time together.

Happily humming, Eiji unpacked his groceries in the kitchen, finishing by putting a few cans of beer in the fridge for later when a sudden thought of mischief struck him. Still holding the last beer in his hand, amazed at how cold it was already, Eiji felt a smirk forming on his face.

One hand pressed firmly over his lips, trying to prevent himself from giggling, the other hand carrying said can of beer, he sneaked back into the living room. Carefully sliding across the wooden floor on his socked feet, Eiji reached the couch, slowly leaning over the backrest to find Ash still lying in the exact same spot as before, breathing peacefully.

Oh, this was so mean, now that he was thinking about it again.. Not even sure if he had ever seen Ash looking so defenseless before, Eiji decided to enjoy the view a tiny bit longer, even thinking about getting his camera. But ultimately this opportunity was too good to be neglected.

"Come on... it's just a little prank.", Eiji thought to himself as he reached over the backrest of the couch, gradually lowering the can of beer. Nearly bursting with childish anticipation, he kept the can hovering above the sleeping Blonde for a few more seconds before he finally dipped it down, connecting the ice cold metal with the warm skin of Ash's neck.

Eiji was prepared for a variety of reactions. He even expected to see a fist thrown towards his face.

Yet he got nothing alike.

What met his ears instead was the most adorable high-pitched squeal he had ever heard coming from the oh so tough gang leader's mouth. Not even knowing what had hit him just now, Ash shot up with flailing limbs, effectively launching himself off the couch and onto the floor.

It was priceless.

Maybe he should have apologized. Perhaps he should have voiced concern, asking Ash if he's ok. But all Eiji could do right now was laugh.

Collapsing against the couch, still holding the can of beer in his hand, Eiji was giggling like a little kid, unable to stop himself, even if he wanted to. Seeing Ash now slowly crawling upon the floor looking very much like a disoriented puppy wasn't helping either.

"Pfffahahaha that was just too funny!!", was the only sentence he could form successfully before he was struck by the next fit of giggles. Eiji could feel his cheeks burning up as he was wiping away those tiny tears that had already started forming in the corners of his eyes.

"What did you just say?"

It was an innocent question, but the tone in Ash's voice was enough to let all remains of laughter instantly die in Eiji's throat. Slowly opening his eyes again, his gaze met a pair of flashing green eyes staring back at him.

It was hard to explain why. Eiji knew for sure that Ash would never do anything to hurt him. Even so, he felt his heart sink to his knees, looking into those eyes, signaling him that there was only one thing he could do right now to save his ass.

Run.

And so he did.

Quickly letting the can of beer slip from his fingers onto the couch, Eiji did his best to get some distance between him and the angry lynx, raising himself from the floor, ready to pick up the hunt.

"Come back here, you little shit!", was enough to draw out a first panicked yelp as Eiji stumbled into the kitchen, already hearing chasing footsteps behind him.

"Nonononowaaaait!! I can explain!", he cried, surprised by the shakiness of his own voice. Hold on... What was he going to explain? That he had been bored out of his mind all day? That he had truly been a mischievous bastard?

Eiji could feel his heartbeat hammering away in his throat as he saw Ash appearing in the kitchen doorway, calmly making his way to the table. They ended up circling around it. Not that Eiji was actually more secure now with a chunk of solid wood between them. This must indeed be what it feels like to be cornered by a predator, and yet, Eiji couldn't shake this hint of.. enjoyment? Excitement, even?

"Oh my, Eiji..", Ash broke the stalemate between them with a sweet but oh so threatening voice and a sly smile on his face, "That wasn't very clever. I'll get you back for this. And trust me, it won't be pretty."

A little stomp of Ash's foot was all it took to make Eiji jolt in surprise and send him running for the living room once more. On wooden ground again, Eiji abruptly realized his grave mistake. As much of an advantage the socks on his feet had been, while sneaking up to the couch, they were not at all made for running on the smooth surface of a parquet floor. Especially in comparison to those red Converse chasing after him.

Eyes wide open, Eiji turned his head in panic as his feet kept slipping helplessly on the floor, only to see a wide grin on Ash's face. Like watching a movie in slow motion, one, two, three big steps later Eiji felt a hand connecting with his waist causing him to let out a girly shriek before he was ultimately tackled to the ground.

Eiji desperately wiggled himself around, bringing his arms up to defend himself against whatever disaster that might befall him, as a heavy weight pushed him flat on his back. Before he could move any further, he already felt the Blonde straddle his waist, dangerously hovering over him.

"What a lovely assault.", Ash whispered, leaning down further on his hands that were already resting on Eiji's shoulders. "Did you seriously think there's not enough adrenaline in my life already?"

Eiji gulped.

"But you sure know what they say about revenge, right?", the Blonde continued with a smirk forming on his face, slowly letting go of Eiji's left shoulder, pulling out the can of beer from his pocket.

"N-no! No, I d-don't!! And w-when did you pick this up?!", Eiji squeaked in fear, as he felt how his shirt was being yanked up. Unfazed by Eiji's angsty outbursts Ash bent down even further until he was just inches away from the other's face, concluding his digression on film quotes,

"It is best. served. cold."

The immediate stinging sensation of an icy metal can meeting the bare skin of his stomach made Eiji scream in shock, "HIYAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! NOOOOAAAHAHA! COLD!! COOOOOOHOHOLD!"

All tries to form a coherent sentence were quickly drowned in panicked squeals and giggles, as Ash kept placing the can all over Eiji's stomach, eliciting new waves of icy shivers each time the metal touched his skin.

"This is for waking me up with a fucking chunk of ice.. ", Ash explained calmly, now rolling the can up and down Eiji's side, making the Japanese boy wiggle under him like a worm,

".. and this.. is for laughing at me while I was lying on the floor!"

All of a sudden, the can was gone, giving Eiji a precious little moment to gasp for air before his body was flooded with a different sensation that took him completely by surprise.

Ten fingers scribbling at his sides and lower ribs, five of them ice cold from holding the can of beer just seconds ago. Out of all the things he had envisioned in his head, the last thing Eiji had expected was to be... tickled??

"NAAAHahahaha!! Whahahat are you-?! Staaahahap!", Eiji cried out, instantly dissolving into helpless giggles, his arms flailing about trying to get a grasp on those hands that kept pinching and scratching away.

Ash couldn't help but snicker, enjoying the sight beneath him. He had always assumed that Eiji would be ticklish, but he wasn't quite prepared for such a cute reaction. Seeing the japanese boy already squirming and twitching under the most delicate touches was indeed delightful.

"Since you were so desperate for something to laugh about…", Ash started teasing the smaller guy, now sneaking his hands underneath Eiji's shirt that had already ridden up halfway from the beer can assault before, "I'm giving you a proper reason."

Eiji's giggling soon grew into a full-on laugh as he felt Ash's fingers clawing up and down his ribs. This was so unfair. Although this was the very first time Ash was tickling him, he seemed to have a sixth sense for all the extra delicate spots on Eiji's body. Amused with his discoveries, Ash even found himself smiling along every time he vibrated his fingers into one them, hearing Eiji's laugh double in pitch while his legs kept kicking out in reflex.

"AHAHAHAhahaha nohohoho Ahahash, pleheheahahase!"

"Please?", Ash repeated, raising his eyebrows in curiosity, "Please what? Tickle your hips? :)" Eiji's eyes widened in realization of what he just heard, as a first gentle squeeze to his exposed hipbone triggered a shower of giggled pleas,

"Ohshitpleasenooo! Please!! NononononOAAAAHAHAHAHA! NAHA-NOT THEHEHERE!!"

Eiji literally exploded with squealing laughter at this new maddening touch on his waist, even letting out a scream as the Blonde suddenly decided to drill his thumb into the sensitive flesh. Ash could feel the former athlete's body thrashing beneath him while hearing Eiji's laugh become more and more frantic. He truly must have hit a bad spot.

"Not there he says...", Ash chuckled to himself, almost pretending not to be tickling the life out of poor Eiji at this very moment.

"Ok, then what about here?", he sheepishly commented as he let up on Eiji's hip, just to shove his right hand further underneath the other's shirt experimentally dragging his short nails across an unsuspecting armpit.

The reaction was instant.

Accompanied by a high pitched shriek, Eiji's arms shot to his side, clamping down as hard as he could, effectively trapping Ash's fingers under his left arm.

"Oh dear..", Ash let out a sigh, looking into Eiji's already flushed face. "What are we gonna do now? Seems like I'll be stuck in here.", Ash stated with an over dramatic voice, ever so gently wiggling his trapped fingers under Eiji's arm to prove his point.

Now, this was just mean.

It wasn't much, but for Eiji it was more than enough to have him shake his head from side to side whimpering with almost silent wheezes. He knew that he had always been absurdly ticklish under his arms. He had been tickled there before. Yet, there was something different about Ash's touch. He couldn't explain it, but it was driving him insane.

"OhohomaGAHAD NAhaha! Ahahash! Please dohon't do thihihis!", Eiji finally found his voice again, begging for his life now, fearing this might be his last chance to speak in full sentences.

"Oh I would love to spare you, but I'm still stuck in here.", Ash claimed sweetly, putting a little bit more pressure into his touch, causing Eiji to throw his head back in ticklish agony. Ash had to bite his lip not to laugh at their situation. It probably couldn't get any more cliché than that. "Well, if you can't lift that arm on your own, I guess I'll have to lend you a hand.", Ash declared with a wink, ready to put an end to this silly game.

A sharp little squeeze to the waist was all it took to make Eiji's right arm shoot down in reflex. What he wasn't expecting though, was the sudden weight of Ash's leg settling down on it, pinning it firmly to his side.

Eiji let out a pathetic whine, as Ash now reached out for his left arm, slowly pulling it upwards, without ever removing his other hand from underneath Eiji's shirt, his instincts screaming alarm that he was officially screwed.

Maybe, if he wasn't weakened already by all the previous tickling, Eiji could have put up an actual fight. But all his efforts to prevent his left arm from getting pinned above his head now, eventually immobilizing him completely, proved absolutely fruitless.

Eiji knew precisely what was coming for him, and still he couldn't stop himself from screeching, as he felt new ticklish sensations shooting through his body.

This wasn't just mean anymore.

This was hell!

Unable to handle those scratching nails on his now stretched out bare armpit, Eiji descended into hysterics within seconds.

"EYAAAAHAHAHA- SHIHIHIAHAHA- STAAAHAHAHAHA-!!!"

So long, coherent words.

"Oh, wow... ", Ash commented this deafening eruption with big eyes. Much to his surprise, Eiji had stopped thrashing. Instead, he was just lying there, every fiber of his body tensed up, shaking with delirious laughter, desperately burying his face into the sleeve of his left arm.

Eiji felt like dying. Of course, he had no idea what dying would actually feel like, but this must be pretty close. Not sure if he could survive just a single second longer under this unbearable touch, Eiji cried out his last resort.

"OKAAHAHY! IHIHI'M SORRY! I'M SOOAHAHAHAHARY! JUSTSTAHAHAHAHAP!!"

"Aha, there we go :)", Eiji heard Ash call out triumphantly through his own wheezing laughter, "That wasn't so hard now, was it?"

As quickly as it had begun, Eiji's ticklish torment came to an end, as he felt Ash retreating his hands from his heavily panting body, pulling his shirt back down on the way.

Eiji just kept lying where he was, gasping for much-needed air. Trying to wipe tears of laughter from his bright red face, he could still feel his body tingling all over.

That was it?! A plain old "I'm sorry" was enough to end this madness? Three little words could have saved him from having his ticklish ass handed to him? Well probably not entirely, but still...

"You ok down there?", Ash asked chuckling, gently ruffling his fingers through Eiji's black hair, making them even messier than they were already. "I sure didn't expect you to be that ticklish," he added with a hint of amazement in his voice, "But you do have a cute laugh."

Eiji couldn't be more glad that his cheeks were probably still brightly flushed. He could practically feel them lighting up once more, mewling into his hands while listening to the most embarrassing compliment he had ever received in his life.

"Maybe I should do this more often.", Ash mumbled to himself, obviously satisfied with the result of his revenge.

"Naahaha... Please don't... ", Eiji giggled in response, slowly recovering but still trying to catch his breath, "I'd gladly.. take the beer.. over this anytime... " "Oh, really?", Ash chirped, leaning to the side to pick up the can from the floor again.

Shit.

He shouldn't have said that!

Eiji quickly wrapped his arms around his torso, squeezing his eyes shut, bracing himself for the worst.

Nothing happened.

Just as he dared to open his eyes a little, he felt a chilling touch on his cheek. Yelping in surprise, he brought his hands up to meet with Ash's fingers, gently pressing the can of beer against his face.

"Better? You look like you're overheating.", Ash commented, smiling to see how Eiji's expression relaxed again as he leaned into the pleasantly cool sensation.

"You.. are.. evil..", Eiji huffed as Ash was lifting his weight off him, helping him to sit up next to him. "Pfff... Says the guy waking me up with this!", Ash countered, dramatically feigning to be offended, before letting the can slip into Eiji's hands entirely, "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Touché..", Eiji had to admit snickering, slowly recalling that it was indeed his own mischievous plan that got him into this mess in the first place.

Well, it actually was kind of fun, looking back at it now with a little more oxygen filling his lungs.

"How many of these do we have?", he heard Ash asking, raising himself from the floor, slowly moving back towards the kitchen.

"Including this one... I think about six.", Eiji answered, recounting his groceries in his mind.

"Good.", Ash declared, grinning back over his shoulder, 'Cause I'm in the mood to get wrecked!"

Flashing a smile at the sound of those words, Eiji quickly jumped to his feet, following the Blonde on his way to the fridge. "Wrecked how?", he asked innocently, causing Ash to raise his eyebrows in puzzlement.

"Uhm... very much?", Ash answered hesitantly, unsure if this was some kind of language issue between them.

"Nooo!! xD", Eiji choked back a laugh. Swiftly throwing the can of beer in Ash's direction, forcing him to stretch out his hands to catch it, Eiji jumped at the surprised gang leader, wrapping his arms around him from behind.

"I meant like... wrecked with what?", Eiji hummed with a sheepish voice, highly pleased to sense a shiver as he experimentally pinched Ash's side,

"Beer or tickles?"

DISTRICT 11 ORANGE DRESS REDRAW

When I’ve started “Everlark Outfits” series I was avoiding Instagram (I have very mmmm strange relationships with this platform) so I haven’t posted my illustrations there. And now I need to redraw my old illustrations before posting because they look bad lol (it’s normal for artist to start hate their illustrations right after it’s done and it becomes even worse with the time). And I already redraw many of my old illustrations to post it on Instagram but I didn’t post it here because I thought “why would people want to look at something they already saw but a bit fixed”. So I didn’t post it separately and only post it all together with all first book outfits. But gosh, that’s my blog, why can’t I post whatever I want to post lol. Sometimes it’s weird in my head 😅. So here’s my redraw of D11 outfit (the square one) that I did recently. I actually still like the old version but I have changed the way I draw Peeta and overall… it just doesn’t look good among my recent illustrations. Funny fact: my patrons on Patreon saw my rough sketch for this redraw and might have noticed that Katniss looked pretty cheerful there. But I decided to save the mood from the old illustration and here she is, looking concerned and sad. Lol.

What do we know about this outfit: I go to my compartment and let the prep team do my hair and makeup. Cinna comes in with a pretty orange frock patterned with autumn leaves. I think how much Peeta will like the color. <…> As the train is pulling into the District 11 station, Cinna puts the finishing touches on my outfit, switching my orange hairband for one of metallic gold and securing the mockingjay pin I wore in the arena to my dress. <…> I can hear the anthem beginning outside in the square. Someone clips a microphone on me. Peeta takes my left hand. / Catching Fire, ch.4 - nothing about Peeta’s outfit again so I worked as Portia here

Dear Wasyago,

Strange, I have always thought it was spelled as Wasayago. But recently I've realized, I can't read very well.

I want to send appreciation today, to you.

You've taught me a lot about art. You've taught me a lot how to draw certain things, and you have opened my eyes to new perspective of art, ever since I started following you. Colours are brighter, I experiment more, I can see a specter of visuals that was previously hidden from me. It's like gaining shrimp colors.

Your art feels like an art classroom. There's sun pouring in from the windows, and there's tree leaves in front of them. Every time you come in you see different art projects. Paints add on to the tables, that will never scrub off again. There's dirty cups with paint water, and brushes, in the sink. It's lunch break, and there's people here. Some are just doing their math homework right before class, some are working on their sculpture, some are picking out paints, some are working on their new piece, on a fresh canvas. And it is so alive.

Your art feels so alive. Like the leaves, the people, the stains. It's really nice to see, every single time you post, how lovingly you bring a character into the world (My favorite so far is that one doodle of Modern au Gillion eating noodles, I have it in my favorites gallery).

I would like to see some unfinished, maybe forever to be so, doodles that you weren't especially proud of. We'll love it all.

Respectfully,

Marcus Bloodsmith

oh, thank you so much, this is so sweet qwq

im happy to know that you feel this way about my art, and im glad i could help you with some advice! it feels a bit weird to show unfinished or scrapped art under such a nice message, but yeah why not. and its funny that you mentioned the gillion eating noodles one, because its also one of the pieces that i really didn't like and didn't want to post hdgsh. i dont have that many unfinished drawings left because i delete or redraw most of them, but i have a couple that might be fun to share... and i guess it's gonna be a long post bc i wanna tell a little about each one or at least name them.

there's this art of chip, the first time i properly tried to figure out a way to draw him back when i just started listening. redrew this piece later, kept the sketch on the left, but the right one i changed completely because i didn't like the vibe this one has.

there's this attempt at redesigning caspian after i found out he was a water genasi, plus the first version of that art of caspian, pretzel and gill. this design didn't feel "caspian" enough, it looked too soft and kind where i wanted him to be more layed back and chill and sarcastic and with a bit of an edge. redrew both pieces later. the underwater drawing also has an unfinished background in this version, i added some fishies later so it didn't feel that empty.

some random sketch of gillion to show off how the lightning scars look on his face and neck. i quite like it, but it didn't really fit in the post with three proper drawings and one sketch so i decided to scrap it.

there's this drawing where i tried to figure out how the capital of the undersea looked like. i really didn't know where i was going with it and didn't have a good idea when i started drawing, so its a mess of things with nothing to really focus on. i tried to add a character on it later to breathe some life into it, but it didn't work out since i didn't focus it on the character from the beginning. plus i don't like how the colors turned out, and the entire concept of the environment feels weak and boring to me. i still want to draw more concepts of the undersea and try a couple other ideas, but probably at a later date...

the first version of whatever try it was to design gill's armor. (fun fact, i have more armor designs scheduled for tomorrow). this one i redrew almost immediately, i really didn't like how it turned out and how the legs were cut off and it looked so messy with no real accent point or personality. plus the smaller copy of the drawing in the corner just didn't look good. im not exactly proud of the redrawn version either (that's why i did another one yesterday lol), but im glad i redrew it anyway, it looks a lot better than this one.

the first sketch of that one gillion drawing. i couldn't figure out the colors for it for so long and wanted to drop the idea entirely. but i left it to sit for a couple hours and eventually got the motivation to come back to it and finish it. for most of the illustration pieces i did for jrwi there were multiple versions, where i just didn't like the first one and redrew the whole thing with a different composition and colors. didn't save any of those drawings tho...

this drawing of jay but with green wings and a slightly different color shirt. it was actually the first version of this drawing, and i changed the colors to blue later. wanted to post both of them side by side but then decided against it. that's why this drawing survived and was properly saved and not just deleted.

more recent attempts at designing the chaingel. i like the concept, and the pose in the second sketch is pretty badass, but the execution is just not there. it doesn't feel right, doesn't have the right kind of vibe that this character gives off. so im sure i will try and draw her later when i figure out what's missing and how to show her personality in the way it feels in my head. but these two sketches were never going to see the light of day, so now they're here.

aand this is it, this is everything that wasn't deleted in the past month for one or another reason. i feel like im more chill with deleting and redrawing things, so a lot of initial sketches and concepts never get saved or seen by anyone. im also on mobile so i can attach only ten files lol. not that it matters, the last two were just random figure drawings for warm up, not much to talk about.

#very sorry to the tagging anon but im not tagging this as jrwi. this is just nothing.#yagotalk
