playing with dionte's hair bc i'm procrastinating

#river dipping #dionte duval #lykos #ts4 #i do really love how dionte and nicholas kinda have a b4b (bald for bald) thing going on.... but that first hair........ #he looks so good... the urge to keep it is gonna make me develop a twitch under my eye... #i love the shadows the locs add btw like i personally loveee when hair creators add shading #like the DRAMAAA it adds!!! #also don't look too closely at him here bc i actually haven't updated him yet hence no proper edit of him (tho i probably won't change much #i'm really just supposed to be cleaning out the hundreds!! of duplicate households in my library dkhjnkfgh i just. get so distracted #i also have to fix mattodore's households bc i think i accidentally deleted the updated version of them at 20... #like there are multiple other saves?? but they're all with matthias's old chin??? like literally WHERE did the updated version go #so i need to clean out my library from the top down and fix their sims #i really messed my sleep schedule up the day before yesterday when i was working on those edits of delphi btw #but i did enjoy rewatching secretary and watching charade while staying up all night to do them <3 #also listened to the first two chapters of freedom is a constant struggle! editing may take me forever but i do do other things as i do it #...........talking a lot in these tags bc i'm seriously procrastinating jdkhnf i do NOT ! want to clean through my library it's a mess #OH. ALSO GOOD MORNING I FORGOT TO SAY THAT ‼️ #seeing this again two days later and seeing the amount of notes....... y'all weren't meant to reblog this kjhdkfjhndkjgnh #now i'm like damn... is there any reason to make his intro edit like i did for ria and delphi 😭😭😭😭😭

My yearly progress!!! past tumblr posts below ouo. I got kinda lazy this year so i dint do any fancy smancy background, but I am quite pleased with how my rendering has improved :D I think my colour choices have become more dynamic. I hope I figure out how to really properly draw hair in the next couple of years ; w ;

2018 2019 2020 2021 2022

#improvement #these yearly progress things are never drawn in my usual year style T O T #ik i said last year that artstyles are a myth in developing artists but i feel like i still draw a certain way normally #i think 2016 and 2018 were kinda indicative of how i drew those years but everything else was more different from my usual styles #that being said- the way i draw still leaks into these yearly progresses even if im being quirky #like in 2017 i didnt colour my shading like that. but i did use that thick lineart for everything #so u can still get an inkling of how i drew that year

or am I indelibly stained by what I have done?

I don’t draw this dude nearly enough for how much I love him- Let’s fix that a little.

He. #I’ll draw more exciting stuff of him (and other companions) soon hopefully.

#btw ​im so glad I went apeshit buying so much lingua merch when i did bc its all discontinued now forever #since she goes by her given name now (+ reverend) #also I stg idk why but my phones flash looks like it put a filter on my face somehow #just slightly. but enough for me to notice cuz ummmm where are my freckles #also confessedly: #kinda only took these to see how my new lipsticks look…. upper lip is one color lower lip is another #(and lipliners) #I kinda like it! but I’m annoyed cuz I have so many brown lippies and several are super dark but on me they don’t look true brown/dark enuf #like UGH still searching for my perfect brown :( #the upper lip color is the darkest brown shade that brand has in that lipstick type #and it’s my fav lipstick type :/ #I can’t seem to find a brown that doesn’t just look mauve or reddish. is it my lips???? #sigh #I love writing essays in my tags apparently <3 #lingua ignota #kristin hayter #merch #my pic #من

(version that shows i didn't bother drawing the other foot under the cut)

#fanart #illustration #tsukihime #satsuki yumizuka #did some painting practice with this one; i liked how it came out #i'm mainly used to cel shading so this was a kinda difficult thing to do

The man truly can’t take a genuine compliment 🙄

#my art stuff #digital art #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #this is part of a series I like to call “I’m never settling on a singular detailed artstyle” #I have no consistency in drawing realistic people/characters other than my shapy cartoon style #but I truly don’t get enough opportunity to properly shade anything with art in that style-!!! it always looks weird to me-!!!!! #I think some rude lil worm in my brain is wriggling around telling me it’s a futile attempt at still doing realism #cus I’m one of those “gifted” artists that grew up promising his parents he’ll end up among the big names or whatever #constantly training to become better at art but with realism oil paintings as the goal #you know how it is 😔 #I wanna shade my lil funky designs but they never feel good enough to really put energy into or whatever so I compromise with stuff - #- like this where I try to draw characters more accurately while still stylizing them and shading them however I feel like it #which is great and all but I should really learn to give my more relaxed and less perfectionist art a chance #I deserve to enjoy the process and the result without working myself dead #it’s so much easier and rewarding to copy cartoon styles - stylizing realism makes me too anxious of doing it “wrong” #at least cartoon styles give me a goal to reach or a reference to strive towards #man I really should just cut myself some slack altogether #either way - this man is a flustered mess and he’s embarrassed about being called adorable in public or something #being teased in an affectionate way about his sweeter side and stuff #don’t ask why he’s shirtless - anatomy is just a lot more fun for me to draw sometimes #tasteful nudity and all that is extremely gorgeous to me #i need to practice anatomy more cus I just kinda did some shit and went with it this time with a BIT of consideration for muscle structure

Books of 2024: THE RAVEN TOWER by Ann Leckie.

I'm still in the Hamlet frame of mind after THE DEATH I GAVE HIM, so we're keeping that going! This one came highly recommended by a Trusted Friend (beloved). Apparently it does some Weird and Neat Shit with POV, which is also exactly up my alley.

Featuring my Pass the Honey cardigan moonlighting as a background!

#books #book photography #books of 2024 #the raven tower #ann leckie #i did also enjoy her imperial radch!! #i liked what she did with POV there too but there was some First Book Rockiness in the JUSTICE #i'm excited to see what she's done with her level up time!! #also i've opened the book once and i'm pleased with how much bigger/legible the words are lmaooo #like DEATH wasn't BAD but. the book was not ergonomic (weird hardback) #and the text wasn't TINY but it felt kinda small?? #this one is Big and i appreciate that of Orbit lol #also really i'm delighted that the cardigan is the right color for background purposes #that's not a shade of brassy goldish that i own much of and my other options were White or try to find Wood Somewhere #i feel like i've taken a lot of wood pictures recently and i wanted something Different and behold!! there she was!! hanging on my closet l #anyway 10:42PM is a gr8 time to post book pics for traction right so...... #yeet

my art from the na vs art party!! took me a lil bit cuz i wanted to color it and that meant cleaning up the sketches and then i wanted to shade them and hajsksldhaflk

the characters from left to right:

Quinn Teeling - @sunsrefuge

Ambrose Wolfsbane - @commander-gloryforge

Finnegän - @pinecone-enthusiast

Astrëllä - @ohpollenpowder

#vsartparty #gw2 #guild wars 2 #others ocs #my art #also!!! please let me know if i got any of the names or tumblrs wrong!! especially ambrose cuz i didn’t get the name in my ref screenshot #i did go thru the art party tag to find the character i drew and i’m like 99% sure it’s ambrose but if it’s not him i’m SO SORRY #ahhh i hope people like them ajhsjalakf #like i know that getting art of ur oc is usually great no matter what but i get anxious lol #also i used a new shading technique and idk how i feel about it #like i like how i blended out the edges and stuff #but i might have to play with using different colors in different areas instead of just using the same purple lol #really happy with how i did the hair this time tho!! i feel like i usually like hair better in the sketching phase #cuz it’s all loose and rough and messy #i just feel like i get the shape and idk vibe? of the hair better then #and when i get to lines or shading i feel like i end up making the hair too solid? like i lose the flowy-ness of the hair and stuff #anyway i think i did pretty good with it this time tho!! i liked adding the highlights a lot :) #…i actually kinda was referencing an old how to draw manga book i got when i was 11 #listen. it was one of the good ones and had actually good tips and info #and the way it showed shading hair kinda influenced me here and i think it worked! #oh wow i really rambled in the tags this time #there’s a reason my personal texts posts (at least on my main) are tagged as ‘regan rambles’
