#i have to simplify next time

[bramblesnbones]

finally posting these after what feels like forever

featuring my attempts at figuring out how I wanna draw them, and a few redraws of some older pieces that never got posted (+a new cover image for my playlist)

#the locked tomb #tlt #gideon nav #harrowhark nonagesimus #griddlehark #just sketching #i don't think i'm completely satisfied yet i still might change/simplify some things #especially harrow's longer hair i have no idea how i wanna style that #but i really wanna get some stuff posted so that's a problem for the next time i draw them lol

I really miss his smirk ;_; and all of the fun moments with him... please come back </3

#albedo #genshin albedo #アルベド #albedo kreideprinz #not seeing him in 4.5 was such a shame #manifesting albedo for 4.8 #I wanted to simplify my artstyle but then I went ahead and made him hotter #also I wanted to draw Ruan Mei with him but Im starting a new job and I don't think I will have the time to draw them together ;/ #but maybe next time

[ID: three images of fanart of the owl house. The first image shows Eda during kings tide. Half of her is fading away into dark feathers from the draining spell, and she's looking distraught into the distance. The lyrics "our mother has been absent" are written next to her.

The second image shows the silhouette of king and the collector, floating in the distance. The backdrop is the moon, but changed to look like the collectors logo/iconography. The lyrics "ever since we founded Rome" are written beneath them.

The third and final image shows Luz in her season 3 poster design stepping out of a bright white portal onto a dark background. She's stylised to have no eyes but is smirking with a determined expression. Written above her is the lyrics "but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home". End ID]

(@toh-described) CAN I GET A FUCKING WAHOO(T) FOR SEASON 3??? 🦉🔮✨

#the owl house #toh #luz noceda #eda clawthorne #king clawthorne #the collector #sorry if the images are small- originally it was formatted like a three panel comic all on one canvas #but i didn't like the look of that so i split em up #anyway I'M SO EXCITED FOR SEASON 3. this immediately popped into my head #song is Up the Wolves by the mountain goats and if you haven't listened to it I'd recommend it!! #i thought abt adding the rest of the hexsquad (simplified of course) to Luz's image but i decided i wanted this to be abt the trio #i make enough hexsquad content as it is yknow? #i mean. its cause they're my favs but i do love the main trio of toh #they're the heart and soul of the show afterall and i am SOO excited to see what they all get to do in the specials #part of me feels like i could've spent more time on this? like i wasn't overly happy with my lines and colours #and briefly considered redrawing EVERYTHING after the crop and resizing #but i have a presentation and study to do on goya the next two days and Literally Do Not Have Time <3

Me> [struggling to unravel a very annoying UI bug]

My brain, entirely unprompted> H E Y. IF JAHEIRA HAD USED SOME MORE MINOR VERSION OF THAT RITE OF THE TIMELESS BODY ON RASAAD TO EXTEND HIS LIFESPAN, IT WOULD RESOLVE THE MORE FINICKY TIMELINE ISSUES ABOUT RION BEING THEIR KID.

Me> ...ok? I didn't ask right now but thank you for working that out I guess.

#bjk talks #i need some sort of ship name tag for them so people can ignore my ramblings about it XD #i loved astreamofstars's headcanon that rion actually is jaheira's biological kid and named for gorion #which in my worldstate headcanon would definitely make her also rasaad's #but given Rasaad is human and definitely seems at least in his thirties in bg2 #and rion is a half elf but is definitely still a young adult which feels like she's 50 at most #the timeline gets funky bc rasaad would have been like 80 :P #which is like physiologically possible but unlikely in the normal run of things #i had been speculating that J originally researched the rite in the first place at least partly to extend their time together #and her dialogue implies she never figured it out completely (and also had more altruistic intentions for its use at full power) #but no reason that there couldn't have been some lower-level version involved #bc it's magic XD #and i can do what i want #anyway ty for coming to my self-indulgent ted talk #i need to start working on the next chapter of Open Your Eyes #ETA: zenjestrr just pointed out to me that as a monk Rasaad would have Timeless Body feature which simplifies things physiologically XD #yay DND #it's more complicated than just that of course and now i'm resisting writing a whole essay about jaheira's thought processes #XD

i’ve been watching lmk with my irl friend, and i told him abt mk’s reflection motifs (since ur post abt that rewrote my brain a little bit) and now whenever mk’s reflection shows up onscreen we just start pointing and going “REFLECTION MOTIF!!!” like that one meme. we’re just out here doing this

I'll have you know this is exactly what I look like while watching this whole damn show

#like #EVERYBODY CLAP MK LOOKED AT HIS HANDS AGAIN!!!!!! #👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 #OH LOOK THEY MENTIONED PLANS AND GAMES TIME TO 💥💥💥💥💥 #STORY MOTIF??? IN MY LMK SHOW??? #Motifs are stupid because sometimes they don't have concise names/descriptions #Like the ''MK & SWK sit next to each other by a cliff'' motif #How do you simplify that #Anyways I am so happy about this. Think about the lego motifs boy #asks #lmk #lego monkie kid #gumy-shark

my tufting needle came in today,,

[Plain text ID: three photos of a small tufted rug of A. Square from The Flatland Film 2007 sitting on a wooden desk. There is a grey wall behind it, a swiss cheese plant in a beige pot to the left and a green and gold bankers lamp to the right.

In the first photo, the rug is laying flat on the desk.

In the second photo, the rug is sitting in the same position but there is a white zero sugar Monster energy drink can sat upright on top of it.

In the third photo, the rug us being held over the same desk by a white hand with a long green thumb nail.

End ID.]

so true to my word i’ve made an A. Square carpet coaster for the bit, inspired by @penguinsinhell’s post about how a flatland plushie would just be the equivalent of a rug. he’s real and he lives on my desk and he’s only 29.99 !

(also pls ignore how absolutely frazzled he is, apparently you’re not really supposed to take punch needle pieces off of their frame and should keep them ON the frame forever :/ but he’s still gonna survive ! unfortunately)

#flatland #a square #monster can for scale #living the a sphere life with a little flatty on my desk #might scar him for life and explode later who knows the nights still young #so upset that i took him off #now he’s fraying already 😭😭 #after like 2 hrs of work #but i’ll make another in the future some time #just need more monk cloth #i’ll probably make president circle next time bc he’ll fit nicely on the round frame #but it was really fun overall ! #and surprisingly easy for the most part #pls forgive me for simplifying him for tufting purposes and for fucking up his organs and some of their colours #i didn’t have all the exact perfect colours on hand but i was too impatient to wait

Okay so it's a little bit late but I wanted to do some art for my boxer dad headcanons!!

So here we have:

Bear Hugger reading to his daughters, Daisy (L) and Poppy (R)

And Kaiser's boys, Alfreid (L) and Viktor (R) being protective of their dad!

#I wanted to do another one for Kaiser that included references to his foster boys #and one for doc and Aran #but I didn't plan my time well #so I guess I'll just have to wait next year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #von kaiser #bear hugger #punch out oc #punch out #punch out wii #no refs we die like men #at least this helped me work on speeding up my drawing process and a more simplified style!! #also colored lineart yaaay!!! #I really like it :) #kaiser why on god's green earth did you force those haircuts on your kids dear lord #father's day

[local-dummy-fawns]

Sir please, you are too pretty

#I want to bite him #hes so pretty!! look at that man >:0!! #my art #strahd von zarovich #I had to simplify some things so thats why he doesn't have the chain thing anymore from the sketch #im frfr proud of this one tho I just had to muck with it a bunch #I've drawn this man three times now and every time he has improved #I fear what my hands will create the next time I draw him #smug ass bastard man my beloved

[reyiosa]

be brave. let your sci-fi/fantasy cities have juxtaposing architecture. let there be 2,000-year-old monuments astride 10-year-old monoliths. let there at least be one Old City Hall.

the same thing goes for general technological advancement btw.

#most times i see the monocultural samey-same architecture in blockbusters so im an ant preaching to a wall #but i also got a lot of mental inspiration from movies and tv shows that showed that samey sameness #before i understood how cities and civilization reallg work #if a large amount of space (use your own reference point here im being vague on purpose) has similar lookinv modern buildings #then that space was built over around the same time #why was it built over? is a great questiom #often something was bought stolen or destroyed #or a combination thereof #for cities where a lot of people have in an area for a very very very long time #the question becomes even more complex #as a usamerican the most frequent tjing i see is stone churches next to skyscrapers #or federal style buildings next to brutalist ones #tiny rowhouses half a mile away from a modern pastiche of one #look it’s so easy to simplify certain parts of worldbuilding and god knows i still love media that does it #but sometimes it IS bold and original to take from real life #anywho #nobody come at me im tired and i rarely make original posts #text by rey #writing advice #worldbuilding #fantasy

making progress

#slowly but surely #he only looks like this for one frame #every other frame #simplified lol #wip wip wip #wip it good wip it wip it...sorry #obey me lucifer #i pay this man too much attention #i dont have a lot of comic ideas with the other characters yet unfortunately #btw his collar is a pain for me to draw #i get so confused #so its gonna be awkward this time #next time ill hopefully get it

[voidimp]

why are the invoices the hardest part of this round of comms

#like the comms themselves are Fine its going kinda slow bc of work (ive been doing overtime) & also having to clean bc #my parents are visiting next week so my free time is limited but like theyre Getting Done #but the INVOICES. AUGH #pain and suffering and hell forever #anyway i could probably add like. two more $25 colored bust sketches onto the pile. if anyone is interested #JUST TWO thats my limit & then i gotta get through what i have before i take on new ones (i can do a waitlist tho...) #i didnt make form like i meant to but u can just message me #(the reason i didnt make a form is bc i wanted to update my terms first so theres a simplified Summary Version but words are hard) #(also bc google forms is kind of a pain on mobile & i hardly ever use my laptop these days)

[xamaxenta]

Aaaaa achieved enough for zine deadline now i can rest at last

#like barely enough but def enough #wil ldo more next time #just struggling with lineart and depression is . something #but i did it!! worst is over fun part now #i still have some line work but im gonna simplify it for my sanity…

[renegaedz]

After thinking thibgs over i think i need to simplify my character art and over complicate my background art

#ive like been thinking ab this bc i am truly deeply unhappy w my art style rn #its not progressing and i believe it is bc its gone as far as i wish for it to go and the next step for me would be full realism #and drawing in my style is just so like taxing on my brain it doesnt bring me joy anymore #and i need to simplify it anyway for comics sake n i shouldve a long time ago but i grew a lot more aware of myself and my art #after doing portfolio stuff and being in school #but anyway. ive always deeply envied csm's background art and spreads and it makes me so agonizingly desperate to draw like that #and i want to focus more on poses etc #so madara and my ocs are gonna be my guinea pigs for this #btw if youre reading this lmao. im probably only gonna be posting like. crit role + madara + my ocs + tony and thas ab it #bc im like trapped in school and dying and i dont rly care to draw anything else ✌🏾 #btw on the full realism thing im NOT doing that im just saying thats where my art is like progressing to bc currently its semi realism #and i just. no. i do not want to do thattt and i do not want to have a fully painterly style i love lineart i hate coloring #i need to learn to stylize again ... i may go back to anime adjacent style if i can figure it out. but yeah #rohan.txt #not art

[nine-aetharia]

I WAS RIGHT

#about EVERYTHING #i would lovingly like to gloat to my groupchat peeps that i BEEN KNEW i have BEEN SAYING i literally BROKE DOWN THE TIMELINE FOR YOU #I TOLD YOU ABOUT MY UNIVERSE THEORIES AND YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE MEEEEEEEEEE #man you ganged up on me bc there was apparently solid proof it was all a part of wkm 😭😭😭 #i literally had a timeline and dimensional theory essay lined up. and i hit everything on the head beat by beat #next time something like this happens im begging you just listen to the local homestuck please ive been here before #anyway channel people if you want me to simplify how the timeline and the multiverse works i can do that
