conrad veidt would make a great tragedian i think

#pathologic #conrad veidt #artwork #scopophobia #id in alt text #if any of you actually benefit from IDs id be very grateful to know if you prefer them in the alt text or in the post body! #anyway :D HIM #this is caligari-era connie obviously. i was saying this the other day but later connie would be a great saburov i think #i cant decide if i prefer the idea of him playing every tragedian or him being a very obviously incongruous tragedian who has just painted #his face to look like a mask and is hoping nobody will notice #also please ignore that the lighting doesnt make sense on the second one i used reference images lit from two different angles and didnt #notice until i had rendered it out because i always flip my canvas so often and im too lazy to fix it #anyway (part 2) i am still on my conrad veidt autism explosion and i am having a great time. i am having so much fun. i love he #i hope you are all well too my friends! term just finished for me so i am back hoam :D yaaay

The Preferable Alternative- Prologue - Part 1

Start (you are here) - Previous (none) - Next

New au. I can't explain the main thought behind this without spoilers. And since i'm jumping straight into a multi-part comic, i won't be giving out any.

Basically vibes for this is that it's kinda creepy and maybe suspenseful with eventual hurt/comfort (if that doesn't make sense, im sorry, i have a hard time describing things). I'm also pretty mean to Donnie. Not "Donnie vs" mean, but unfortunately this idea wouldn't work with anyone else.

(for those that get anxious, like me. There is no main character death. (might not be death at all but we shall see. that depends on one character and even i'm not sure exactly what they'd do yet.) and no one's gets serious physical injuries. Definitely more hurt/comfort than plain angst. b/c that's how i roll. I can't do straight up angst.)

I'll write a proper summery once the prologue's done. I don't want to spoil it too much. For now, just know it's a PB&J duo story that happens during the 6 weeks before the Krang invasion.

#tmnt #rottmnt #preferable alternative #my doodles #rise donnie #rise mikey #this is my friday update #and it's actually on friday! #i can't wait until i can talk about what this whole comic is about #and why i wanted to do it #and where i got the title #b/c the title is in reference to a line found in a different series #and it fits the base of this story so damn well #but that's spoiler territory #so i will wait until later #and hey look #the ''So Not A Nintendo Ripoff'' company shows up again #in the form of a purple see-through Not-gameboy advanced #and yes i had too much fun with that #(i was just going to draw a generic device) #(but then i was like ''but what if gameboy?'') #(and now it's a gameboy lol)

zukka acting normal... the real zukka ;D

when i saw the top left photos of this magazine spread, i was instantly reminded me of them because... that IS them! so, in order to adapt them to a photobooth in a contemporary au, i used @peachieflame’s tattoo artist/skater boy zukka designs... which are an absolute beloved classic for the zukka nation that i was recently reminded of <3 i will never get over them!

[ID: These are two digital drawings of Sokka and Zuko, drawn in warm colors against a pink background. In the first one, a serious Zuko (sporting a sweater with a flame design in the sleeves, two piercings in his lower lip and a mullet) hugs a smirking Sokka (wearing, apart from his traditional necklace and wolf tailr, a blue tank top and light blue earrings), who is giving him bunny ears behind his back. In the second image, Zuko is sticking his tongue out while giving a noogie to a laughing Sokka. End ID]

#my art #zukka #i had to pay homage to such a foundational piece for zukka... truly a lot of peachieflame's art was got me into zukka 2 years ago. thankful #AND THATS THEEEM GO LOOK AT THE REFERENCE THATS LITERALLY THEM RIGHT #i also fiNALLY finished this semester and i've already been making SO much stuff!!! drawing is FUN #also: funny how the only zukka i eVER draw is silly zukka... maybe a little grumpy #but mostly silly...... thats me!!! im just a silly guy:P #back to the tags: #zukka nation #zukka fanart #zuko #sokka #sokka fanart #zuko fanart

#elena of avalor #beauty and the beast #batbedit #disneyedit #eoa edit #belle x beast #estebalena #kinda but also not kinda #I think a lot about the fact that it's been confirmed that this is an intentional homage #like EoA series supervising director Elliot M. Bour was just like casually bringing BATB into things as an Easter egg #since it was his first job in animation #and like don't get me wrong; I LOVE that he did this. I just don't know how he expected anyone (i.e. me) to be normal about it afterwards #once you've introduced BATB; it ceases to be a fun and casual reference and just makes the literature major girlies go feral #i thought this was gonna be a quick and easy little project but it wasn't #the parallels are all there but they're in slightly different order in EoA than the original and the pacing for each reference is differen #so i had to determine which ones I needed to skip frames for and which ones to use all the frames #and then try to figure out the speed from there #the coronation day scenes were very hard to color because the grey skies and muted filter kind of whitewash the characters #like you don't even understand i added so MUCH vibrance and saturation to the 4th and 5th gifs but elena's skin still is just gray #and the coloring is still just a very very mixed bag #also i've realized that while I don't think it was an intentional reference in the same way BATB was #anna's sacrifice and resurrection from frozen is perhaps just as --if not more-- a clear parallel to the coronation day scene than BATB #so maybe I will do that one someday too? #once i psych myself up again to try coloring coronation day again #which i imagine will be awhile #these do not look like the same scene and pretty much the same scene at all even if i tried to use the same psd when i could #and edit them to make the coloring as close as i could

So... I got this DIY miniature set and once I realized that it's supposed to be a music room in Paris my brain just immediately went "I need to make this into John and Paul's secret getaway, where they'll be safe and happy forever (on my bookshelf)."

#thought I'd share this glimpse into my madness #I had so much fun modifying it with all those little references #I even painted the freaking cat to look more like thisbe or pyramus #insane things #paris au #miniature #book nook #diy #john and paul #the beatles #mclennon

see? annoying maybe, but he's not dangerous.

#so i gathered a bunch of spider references. for that drider i half made. #but jumping spiders are so much more fun. fuzzy little guys. #+ive had phoebe is an arachnophobe on a prompt list like. since i started this #heres a little guy that probably lives in one of her terrariums or something. #i will simply die if i attempt scenery #g/t #giant tiny #giant/tiny #borrowers #oc: val #stranger swap #g/t art #ick tho the chelicantspellthatae looked better with the other bg color #reocs #my art

You know how Arcana had that special art with the characters in wedding attire? I'd kind of like to see that with Touchstarved.

#touchstarved #art ideas #even though i feel like some of the touchstarved characters wouldn’t be the kind to marry #seeing them in wedding outfits would be fun #oh also people's ocs! #I saw so much pretty wedding outfit art of people's apprentices #this thought kind of came up when I was looking for references for drawing #I had some ideas about drawing my hound!mc alon in a barong #I’m not great at drawing sheer fabrics though

[mechamillion]

Yes, I'm still thinking about this show. I regret nothing~

Just Chiro, Sparx, and Otto having some downtime. I like to imagine that when Chiro joined the team he already had some skills with mechanics, but Otto helped him refine it as they repaired the robot together. I also like to imagine that Chiro and Sparx have the same (or similar) taste in music. Sometimes they just be vibin'.

#super robot monkey team hyperforce go #srmthfg #original fanart #Looking up references for the Super Robot's interior just made me realize how bizarre it is? #What's the layout supposed to be here?? #I guess it doesn't matter as much as enjoying myself #I had fun with these so here you are! <3

Re-design of my un-named Beetlejuice OC from back when I was thirteen

Original Reference under the cut:

#my art #beetlejuice #toonjuice #beetlejuice cartoon #beetlejuice fanart #beetlejuice movie #procreate #I don’t really make OC’s for fanwork anymore… but the ones I had when I was younger almost never got named 🥲 #When I first made her I really really liked her- and her story was very self indulgent #Looking at it now is almost way too weird for me… (and honestly a little unintentionally homophobic???) #Basically she was one of the girls from Dante’s inferno… except she got kicked out because she only had attraction to girls #(This was BEFORE I suspected that I was a lesbian— mind you.) #Yeah but anyway she went to the Deetz/Maitland house looking for a place to stay but drove everybody crazy #She was super flamboyant- loved everything pink n fluffy- and was well meaning but did more harm than good trying to do nice things for the #She had this one sided crush on Delia??? Like musical Beej and Adam except less perverted and more flirty/sappy? I was an odd kid- okay? 🥲 #Anyway… the old design didn’t really do much to show off her personality… so I ended up upheaving the whole thing #So I upheaved the whole thing. #It was okay for what I knew at the time- but I know what I was trying to say then and now I have the knowledge to say it better #Also— the reason I gave her horns here is so silly. #When I was younger I was in a Christian school where I wasn’t allowed to draw witches-ghosts-demons-etc. #So even though I based her on the Dante girls… I refused to give her horns because I thought that was ‘too sinful’ #I even remember having so much guilt while looking for references of the Dante workers #I couldn’t even look for more than five seconds! #Anyways… she really pushed the boundaries for me at the time and it’s fun to see how I’ve changed and grown since then.

#rolling with difficulty #vrla rwd #mrsn rwd #rwd starship #shoutout to fall out boy for writing lyrics that absolutely slap with no context i guess #get it. do you get it. cuz mechanites don't dream (starts sobbing) #something something the least mrsn could ask for is for vrla to remember him fondly and he can't even do that bc all his memories are gone #also yes it's a stylistic choice to draw mrsn as the starry apparition here but it's also absolutely bc the apparition is easier to draw #ITS SO FUN. i just do a white outline with a little gaussian blur then go to town on the starry background #between the astral sea and the mrsn ghost i just keep having to draw that kinda starry background and i have lots of custom brushes for it #and it's just. so much fun. just slapping colours and shinies on the canvas like a small child #the original idea i had in my head was significantly less... close contact but then i looked up couples dancing pose refs on pinterest #and got the fucking gayest reference image ever so here we are #WALAO TUMBLR MOBILE FUCKED UP THE RESOLUTION AGAIN NABEI #art I made
