#hair braiding? hair styling?

[kodakorpse]

it just occurred to me that i literally just saw you on instagram idk when exactly but it was recent

anyway- may i request something for mc doing cove's hair, or anything related to it? have a good now, too! 🌊

okay hello gamers i can write again so i’m doin this frfr (sorry it took so long homie LMFAO)

shout out to this ask for breaking my no writing for 6 months streak :party:

no specific step, just as long as cove has long enough hair

not beta-ed or proof read (i wrote this in 20 minutes)

~*~

The night outside lay still as Cove and yourself sat in the living room of your home. A cheesy movie played in the background as the two of you chatted, occasionally breaking conversation to make fun of said movie.

“Dude, he’s such a fucking idiot, why would he willingly jump into that thing?” You asked incredulously, smacking your forehead with your hand with a sigh.

Cove snickered, shaking his head at your exasperation. His ponytail swayed side to side at the movement, which caught your eye.

“Hey Cove? Can I do with your hair?”

The random question made his eyes widen a bit, his hand automatically going up to his hair. “Uh, sure I guess?”

You smiled deviously, going to sit up on the couch from the floor where the both of you hand been previously sitting. Cove eyed you nervously at your immediate change in expression.

“Under the conditions that my hair stays the same length and colour as it started.”

You simply smiled with faux innocence, gesturing to the spot on the floor in front of you. “C’monnnn, sit downnn,” you encouraged. Cove folded under your stare, sighing and scooting to sit between your legs.

You tugged the hair elastic from his hair, watching as it fell from its confines. For a moment, you sat and just stared at the green, thinking about what you should do. You could be nice and just brush it. Orrrr… you could put it into Sailor Moon buns.

The second option was the obvious answer.

“Stay here, I’ll be back,” you stated, standing up and leaving the living area. You grabbed some bobby pins and elastics from your moms’ room, shoving them in your pockets.

When you re-entered the room, Cove was miraculously still sitting there and giving you an inquisitive look, head cocked to the side a bit. You pulled the small box of bobby pins from your pocket and shook it menacingly. “Weapons of choice.”

Cove groaned, which you decided was from excitement.

You sat back down as you scrolled back to the tutorial you remembered seeing a few days ago. After successfully fishing the video out of your camera roll you got to work.

You followed the tutorial closely, with complaints from Cove:

“You’re pulling my hair.”

“That’s how you get it to go where you want it.”

“Ow, those bobby pins hurt.”

“It’s so it stays!”

“How many bobby pins are you going to use? They’re jabbing into my head.”

“Shh.”

Finally, you finished, beaming at your hard work. You fumbled to take out your phone, opening the camera once it was safely in your hand. “I’m done! Look,” you exclaimed, handing Cove your phone.

He blinked at the screen a bit before turning his head to get a better view of the style his hair had been beaten into.

“Hey, that’s the way that one anime girl has her hair,” he pointed out, gently tugging at the ends of the hair that stuck out from the bun. You nodded happily. It was a lot less neat as your would have liked it, but it made the both of you laugh until Cove took the hair accessories out and returned it to his normal ponytail. Boo.

Fashion of the Great Houses of Westeros: House Tully of Riverrun

#asoiafedit #asongoficeandfireedit #valyrianscrolls #valyriansource #tullyedit #housetullyedit #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #house tully #ghf* #mine* #this is actually the first house i visualised in a fashion sense way back when #i watched claire mccarthy's ophelia in 2020 and saw all the gorgeous flowy gowns and daisy ridley's red wig and just went 'tully!!!' #I know the Riverlands are very rich and populous due to their centralisation but in my mind #they’re also a little behind culturally due to the constant battles and invasions #so the style of their fashion is a little less structured and complex than what you’d find in the westerlands or the vale or the stormlands #and also the cut of the outfits is reminiscent of what you’d find in both the iron islands and the north which echoes the impact #both kingdoms have had on the region #that doesn’t mean they skimp on fabric or aesthetic though!! #there's lots of flowy silks and shiny fabrics that evok running water #women wear their hair either loose or in intricate braids held with metal rings (a holdover from the three centuries of durrandon reign) #also THEE beetle wing lady macbeth dress is here in spirit!!!

Sebek & Yuu's teenage child . [insp] .

#when i saw that girl on the link my first thought is *points* if it's actually allowed i would say that's sebek & yuu's child #everything is on point like the fairy like hairstyle; eyes color; darker green hair as if the mixture of black and green hair #twisted wonderland #twst #sebek zigvolt #twst yuu #twst mc #twst baby #fanart #i will just incorporate the braid style hairstyle because i really love it #maybe her name is ai #just simply means love to remind sebek that however the child will turn out despite mixture of bits of fae's and human blood #she will be loved and find herself to be loved #jokes on sebek maybe she would make all the blood business even more complicated because she finds a beastman partner fFSDHShdshdas #yey it's fae x beastman x human blood #and maybe the grandchild will find a merman/mermaid partner #and so the bingo card is filled #xD #imagine she is easily cold bcs of the croc blood #and that's why she just finds beastman's warmth endearing #would be funny if it turns out to be jack's child #i kinda consider sebek and jack quite a best friends #or maybe ruggie's #i like to imagine she is smart enough to see through the sly behaviour & focus on the good heart that shares resources with their poor pack #or maybe other hyena's than ruggie fshs sebek would absolutely not trusting ruggie

How do you draw Abodes Dreads/Braids? I'm a black creator and still (embarrassingly) struggle with them in the arcana style. (And in general XD) the way you draw her is gorgeous. And I must know the magic you poses.

Nothing to be embarrassed for! Unfortunately there's not much reference for black hair in the Arcana, so we all have to guess. I'd highly recommend looking at @kianamaiart and Simkray's hair brushes for other examples of stylising black hair (if anyone has examples of black hair in angular art styles, please share!!)

Anyway, I hope this helps!

Dreads and braids are both segmented styles which makes their basic construction similar, however dreads are stiffer and hang less than braids, which are quite heavy

She usually pulls her hair back so I only have to pay attention to the hairline, but I draw each dread as a somewhat stiff tube. Where it connects to the scalp I feather in short, fine lines for the edges/thin hair that's attached to the skin.

To show the twisted texture of dreads, I add curved lines along each one. For me, this is a good balance of detail for the style (though I can still get tired of lineart -_-)

Then, as a final detail, I give Abosede imperfect ends, topping most dreads off with a thin twist. This is optional as some dreads don't have this.

Then finally, for colour. I take reference for how they render ropes and add a series of light lines along each dread. Dreads don't reflect much light, so these are pretty faint.

For some braided hairstyles, you just replace the tubes I use for dreads with a simple plait pattern (as seen in Lucio's masquerade outfit). If you're aiming for cornrows, instead of the segments, draw the tubes along the scalp with sharp ends. Then fill them with a plait pattern. For extra detail, you can hatch lines in between the cornrows where the hair is pulled into the braid.

Braids have stronger highlights than dreads, and I tend to dot them in the centre of each part.

So this is my basic process. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
