got him off-balance!

#my art #ds9 #star trek deep space nine #julian bashir #elim garak #garashir #watercolor #image desc in alt text #i normally post on mondays but. today im breaking my pattern! getting a little silly. getting a little wild. garashir jumpscare #“tumblr user chitinleg garak would neot easily let himself be swooped off his feet into a hug like that” yes i know BUT! #look at his expression. look at how his arms r pinned. he didnt let this happen LMAO julian just surprised him. grabby huggy human behavior #if you look really closely you can see the tiniest frown in the world on Garak's face. because he's like “EEP !” #cant see bashirs face at all in this only his body but i think we can all imagine that whatevers going thru his head. he needs this hug bad #ALSO. for anyone wondering what the fucked up shadow is that starts at the juncture of the teal sleeve-cap where its set into the armhole #the jumpsuits have a bit of a fold of extra fabric (called an Action Pleat) there which allows for a little more maneuverability of the bod #AND creates a really sleek and flat back panel #because you can see the fabric twists along the side arent grabbing the flat back fabric theyre grabbing the fabric folded beneath it #often times i think about drawing out a dissection of kiras first uniform and this voy era one for other artists to use. bc god knows #i struggled at first to find full body references #they like to shoot ds9 very close to peoples heads. and the camera is so blurry. they smeared butter on that thing. god bless

i like him

#somebody needs to keep me 8 metres away at all times or else ill start chewing on him #i just want everyone to know if i end up making a character who happens to resemble harvey in any shape or form #it probably wasnt a coincidence 😐and it will happen again #if i remember maybe ill try getting stardew when it goes on sale.. my friend showed me her farm and she named her chicken after doja cat #or maybe it was nikki minaj i cant remember. and she also said smth about monsters and passing out if you stay out after a certain hour #idk how accurate tht is all i know is the funny fucked up grandpas bed #i read somewhere that harveys supposed to be in his early to mid thirties and i dont have a problem with it but i think itd be very funny #if hes actually younger than he looks hes just a med school postgrad lmao. idk how well that headcanon would hold up since ive #never played the game and idk how often ppl talk about his age or if itsjust an implied thing. i just think its really really funny #im trying to get into the habit of drawing poses so im using reference images to try and build up muscle memory #i found some cute pictures of two ppl playing by the sea shore and it reminded me of xin and sailor so im gonna draw em like that #i havent drawn em in so long..... maybe i should update xins reference since i changed their lore quite a bit #myart #my art #doodles #stardew valley #stardew #sdv #sdv harvey #kinda wanna see him whimper a little bit. as a treat

the kids released a new album

#ts4 #simblr #ts4 edit #ts4 render #sims 4 #myedits #AUverse #dhestyn #kelly #ok i actually have things to say about this #FIRST OF ALL this is not what i intended to make when i sat down & started working on the bandAU #i had this big elaborate thing planned & then i realized... i didn't wanna do it. at least. not right now lol #idk why i think everything i make needs to be so elaborate & involved bc it doesn't?? like where did i get that idea from? #i can just make something small & silly sometimes yk #n e way. this is like. one of the kids' albums i guess? my thought is that dhes wrote it/was in charge of it #that's why he's on the cover. #kel writes most of their albums (w help from the others ofc) but dhes really wanted to try writing one & this is what came of it #most of the titles don't actually mean anything. they're just like. random words i thought dhes would use lol #but the first 3 are references to the canonverse #also i originally wanted to have dhes shirtless bc 1. symbolism of like vulnerability? #but also 2. i thought the lighting would look pretty against his skin #BUT he has a death note tattoo right there between his shoulder blades & i just.......... could not take him seriously like that so #he had to keep his clothes on

They’ve changed so much.

#Hi this is just a lil project I have #it started as a little line up of the Hamato sibs that I could use as reference when I do comics #but then it got out of hand and now we’re here #I would love to gush about all the little details in each of these (there are a LOT) but nobody has time for that rn #ALSO I KNOW THE APRIL’S DEATH THING ISNT CANONICALLY ACCURATE I DREW IT BEFORE FINDING THAT OUT #I’m still keeping it cannon because my twin and I have some headcannons about thay and I need them to function #anyway #this entire thing took 110 hours and 3 minutes total to complete #send help #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #april rottmnt #leo rottmnt #donnie rottmnt #raph rottmnt #mikey rottmnt #cassandra jones #foot recruit #casey rottmnt #long post #bad future #good future #my art #character design

#I know this parallel might be a reach but hear me out here #both ships have them feeling so alone and after meeting each other they end up growing closer and closer #until these scenes where they're separated (Ava needing to go into the other realm to survive and Cherik by their ideological differences) #also like #Bea and Erik first came off as cold reserved people but end up showing their compassionate sides #and Ava and Charles start off as sort of naive yet kind people but they end up as true leaders #also Ava used to be quadriplegic and Charles ends up paralyzed and wheelchair-bound #but they do have their contrasts #Beatrice always helps Ava up whenever she falls and catches her #whereas Erik tends to be the one to cause Charles to fall (referring to Erik accidentally causing his paralysis) #and honestly Avatrice is really healthy while Cherik is well kind of not #anyway I digress #avatrice #ava silva #sister beatrice #warrior nun #cherik #charles xavier #professor x #erik lehnsherr #magneto #x men #x men first class #x men movies #gifs are mine #my post

Anyway if youre like me and have trouble visualizing poses you have in mind, 3D models are a godsend.

The structure and proportions of the models arnt perfect even if you resize them, so I end up adjusting a LOT. I just need the general shape of the poses.

one of the best examples I have of 3D models in clip studio making it possible for me to actually complete a draw I otherwise would have scrapped lol

#mika speaks #of course i dont use this for all my draws #usually just for more angled poses or pics including more than one character doing more than just standing by eahc other lol #im not good at starting things from 0 #I need a visual of some kind to work off of usually otherwise my brain will be as blank as the canvas #shame theres nothing that helps with writing in the same way tho #anyway i just like to share this sort of stuff #cause theres a lot of people that act like using any form of reference like this is a crime #even tho the models are free and you pose them yourself #theres a lot of pieces i would have never finished without them #it just helps to remember not to try to perfectly trace the model #just use it as a guide #tracing them makes it too stiff

Have I kept you waiting for long enough? Hehe i finally got to finish Roman's Vietnamese Traditional clothing, he's lucky I love this one garment so much or I'm blaming him for my bad back. Yes, I did went all out on this and did all the patterns because I am that crazy

[ramblings about the details in the tags >:D]

Logan | Patton | Virgil | Janus

#roman is wearing a red nhật bình #which is a vietnamese clothing that started appearing during the Nguyễn Dynasty and reserved for all the rich fancy ladies esp the queen #so of course i have to let the royalty himself wear this I've had this idea since the beginning of this series #he wears a blue khăn vấn on his head and fancy boots that the governors used to wear #everything in this is taken reference from the Nguyễn Dynasty which is lolll my surname #Chí #the word means will power #and the squiggly shits behind him are just the patterns that i used on his nhật bình #god i was dying while drawing this for real god bless me i am so talented #myart #thomas sanders #sander sides #sander sides fanart #thatsthat24 #roman sanders #ts roman #i usually dont care but mr sanders better see this i am telling you to notice the international love for your webseries!!!!!! #jk he doesnt need to but i hope he knows his work makes impact on the world and enjoys a little taste from other cultures #ts sides

FATUI MAGIC USERS AU TIME got some doodles done, guess whooo

in loving memory of supreme strange's good writing, i am starting with fatui harbinger strange (totally didnt sketch wanda and mordo before i found out about the catastrophe) ((they're next))

- The Second of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, Il Dottore / The Doctor

(og dottore for reference)

i love crazyasses!!! alr so clearly not colored but imagine it is, + un-altered outfit (since the one harbinger strange has is a bit different)

super! okay class question nr 1 was the artist attracted to men

alright now to talk about this freak of nature, things i kept from Il Dottore's backstory

(will refer to him as Stephen to differentiate between this AU and the regular Marvel Impact AU where his name is Sufian)

zoinks warning for some crazy shit, mentions of malpractice and totally legal ways of treating patients

☆ this dude wants to create a god and to elevate humans to the level of gods, and the people around him have given him constructive criticism on his ways and research, such as "thats not normal", "please cut it out", and "get that scalpel away from me"

☆ if there are clear lines that cannot be crossed as a researcher and doctor, Stephen does not see them! He has used gods' remains as treatment and he would do it again ((take his medical license away))

☆ harbinger strange is at least 400 years old; he IS human but he created segments or "clones" of himself like any normal person would to surpass the limits of his lifespan (which he later killed for two cool magical rocks, might've as well not made them🙄)

despite everything, he's far more tame and sane than Zandik/OG Dottore in this AU, just a little bit more of a jerk that, instead of starting off with negotiating with Lesser Lord Kusanali, went straight to throwing heretic hands with the traveler

small side note

- Loki takes the place of The Balladeer/Scaramouche, he's a puppet which means -> very bad if there's someone out there that wants to create a god. i dont need to say more, you can imagine how thats going

the more normal people are next, if u have any questions about this weirdo pls hand them over, i love questions

#strange and dottore had a few things in common from the start #like rich boyfriends #i need to start using pose references when i draw im barely surviving #dr strange #marvel #marvel au #fatui au

sunday six :D

taking the initiative for a change.... so i'm going to boop @four-white-trees @passthroughtime @skysquid22 @overdevelopedglasses

chipping away at sensei fic this week! here's kitakata and yagami making out lol excuse my bluntness... don't feel obligated to read if you're not into that o7

Yagami reached for Kitakata’s arm, found his hand, and guided it to his hip. Yagami pulled away from the kiss.

“Touch me, would you?”

Kitakata’s breath was warm on his lips. “Where would you like it?”

“Figure it out yourself.” He said and kissed him again. Kitakata didn’t seem to complain. His fingers slipped under the hem of Yagami’s shirt, meeting skin. He touched along the base of his spine, and Yagami couldn’t suppress the slight shiver that went through him. He could only imagine how gratifying this was for Kitakata. Hell, just seeing Yagami checking him out probably made his whole week, now this. He’d never be able to stop him from flirting now.

Yagami leaned into Kitakata’s hold, into his mouth, against that eager tongue. He was about to make Kitakata’s whole damn year.

#jichanmakes #sunday six #good evening kuwagami nation #excuse my eagerness i've been sitting on this snippet for days #funnily enough an accidental pair with the last sunday six i posted #feels like i'm starting to make a bit more progress thank goodness #i've been needing to go over this scene for a long time and i finally did! #unlike my last sunday six this one is basically all new writing #the “make his week/year” thing was from the previous version of this scene and that's about it #for reference they first kiss at.... page 16 of my doc #and this is after the second kiss (unless i make drastic changes) and it's on.... page 44. lol #i know that doesn't say a whole lot since font size but yknow. just for reference as to how i'm going #not used to working on anything that's not a short oneshot so it's been an experience for sure #excuse my waffling i just can't stop yapping about sensei fic #four-white-trees can you just pretend you didn't get sent this whole scene yesterday? great wonderful thank you
