#i still need more practice with them

[endless---possibility]

I can draw human faces, but I can't draw human bodies. The only type of body I'm relatively ok at drawing is the Sonic character body type.

Clearly that means there is only one solution...

OBVIOUSLY IM KIDDING BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE-

#why lmao #im also better at drawing the sonic bodies with a reference #i still need more practice with them #my doodles

robin cross and kevin day parallels actually go so crazy. they both spent their formative years in a basement underground with exy-obsessed captors. they both saw exy as freedom. they both were isolated even within the foxes’ group of outcasts. they were both under andrew’s protection. it cost kevin jean to leave the nest and it cost robin another girl’s life to escape her kidnapper. robin carried her racquet with her to self-soothe and kevin restrings the net of his when he’s anxious. they’re even bird coded

#to those unfamiliar the word robin is also a kind of little bird 🕊️ #i dont ship them but i dont blame the people who do if im honest #BUT ITS JUST CRAZY TO MEEE #its so fucked that canonically kevin never gets to meet her #but i will say that the echoes of his presence are still there #she joins the foxes the year after kevins graduation and there andrew is taking robin to night practice #there he is coaching her because he knows exy is the tool she needs to believe in herself #there he is doing what kevin day told him only years late 🫠 #sorry they make me insane #robin when she’s the weird kandreil amalgamation no one asked for #will expand on this if i have more thoughts later but please talk to me about robin. thank you #txt #aftg #kevin day #robin cross #kevin #robin #fav #kevin&robin

Shout out to all artists who had to work without any strong direction or instruction.

I wish you a merry “the client likes it anyways”

#non mdzs #The real mood of this comic is: #AKA: you are in charge of designing a character but have only been given personality as a reference. #This was technically for a game dev meeting and I am part of a team rather than a contractor hired on. #But hey the anxiety going into this was still crazy high. I was playing a risky gambit. #Part two of this comic is me putting all those clowns on a powerpoint and presenting them in front of a few people. #Pointing at them and saying “Okay which clown do you like best? How can we sex up this clown more?” #I think I may be giving the impression that I’m more into clowns than I actually am. It just fit with the character okay! #I had to consult the REAL down-for-clowners for tips. Photos exchanged in the dark alleys of a discord server. #A hooded figure shakes their head at the first photo. Slowly nods as I add puffy sleeves. Nods furiously as I drop the neckline. #This clown still needs to marinate a bit more before I’m ready to present them to the wider world. #So stay tuned! They have become a delight to draw and develop! #Game dev diary #As this is part of that new arc in my life. #Can you tell I've been practicing with digital art a lot more? Boy have I ever! I'm getting stronger! And faster!

Don’t think I ever quite said what my LGBTQ+ headcanons are for the boys, so these are my current thoughts! Always changing of course but this is what I feel most strongly right now.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise donnie #rise leo #rise mikey #rise raph #donnie and leo’s sexualities being practically swapped was unintentional but it works way too well #same with mikey and raph tbh it was a happy accident #anyway I kinda hc raph as the type who doesn’t care about physical appearance just if you fight lol #Mikey’s more than happy with friends and family #Donnie is a BIG romantic but he needs time to sus a person out fully before he gets the hots for them #leo meanwhile isn’t keen on romance unless it’s with someone he grows to really really REALLY trust #I could go on and probably will later (knowing me) but it is late and I am tired haha #turtle art tag #curious as to what everyone else headcanons #the only one of these I’ll defend forever is Bi (female-leaning) donnie and trans leo #all the others can change over time but I really like where they’re sitting right now #I hope these are the right flags too because it was kinda hard to find them #went looking for transmasc flag in particular but I couldn’t find a solid agreed upon version 😭 #ngl a big part of why I hc mikey as aro is because of a pun #my phone often misspells aromantic as aromatic and- and you get it- because aromatic herbs and- and Mikey is a chef do YOU GET IT #note that while I hc leo as bisexual (male-leaning) I still think he’s prob closer to demi in that as well just not as far into the spectrum #if that makes sense #headcanons are fun and hard to narrow down at the same time alas #I made this in like an hour can you tell djjdjd #I drew them all from memory so if there’s anything wrong…shhh #and if you’re wondering for April and Splinter #Both are Bisexual (female-leaning) but April is also Panromantic #I almost wanna make Splinter demiromantic too so Big Mama’s betrayal hits just a bit harder

plus a rough little gif!

and these guys on their own

#pokemon #zoroark #zorua #hisuian zoroark #hisuian zorua #icys drawings and doodles #the sleepy zoroarks!! weirdly posed arms because i too sleep in willy nilly positions. #the sleepy hisuian zoroark... a lil test of style in a sense. i drew it thinking of what the dex says- that the red marks are wounds! #as opposed to smooth raised patterns like the game models portray it #give it an undead kinda-beat-up vibe to go with it's ghost type and tragic origin + still-tragic existence #but also its just another pokemon. its just snoozin. nothing sinister to go with its worn out looks. hisui leave them alone challenge #also very sad csp limits me to only 24 frames of animation :'[ i need more practice let me practice!!!!

i've been wanting to redesign the old mlp gijinkas i had as a teenager for forever so i did some sketches of our beloved earth pony besties!

#i need to practice drawing muscles more aj doesn't look nearly beefy enough for me #she's built like a brick shithouse and anyone who says otherwise is a fool ( /hj ) #also i'm not sure if i'm happy with pinkie's outfit it still needs some work #i wanted to give her a skirt + pants combo but idk if it's working for me #i used to draw her with legwarmers and i kinda miss them... #i still like these doodles tho don't get me wrong #just rambling about my own design commentary ig #i need to go to bed now... #my little pony #my little pony: friendship is magic #mlp fim #mlp g4 #mlp humanized #mlp gijinka #pinkie pie #applejack #🎨 : mj draws

they're so GROSSSSSS (<- desperately wants what they have)

alt color under the cut:

#martzipan #komahina #hajime hinata #nagito komaeda #2 final colors bc my brain is allergic to desaturation. i needed to have One Bright One for my sanity #anyways i think they have this thing when they finally get together #where komaeda will just say. Anything basically. in an attempt to fluster hinata #and it does fluster him! but also sometimes he decides to do something about it #which flusters KOMAEDA even harder bc the dumbass forgets that like. affection can happen to him #which makes HINATA flustered again because 'you can say all that but one kiss is overwhelming?!?' #and they do this. all the time. especially early on before they're really used to each other #and they're gross about it. they do this in public. everyone else has to watch them do this like. thrice daily #they're awful. and also i envy them #tried some new things this time. more character interaction practice which is fun #i think this is likee... the third???? kiss i've ever drawn??? good for them #but i care more about the lineart. i tried to think about line weight at least a little bit :] it is Difficult lmao #this one made me realize i need to do a hips study lmao. also a neck study #in other words a girl needs to practice her joints more #there's still smth bugging me abt hinata's face in the 3rd one. but. i don't care it's done i'm not touching it

what i love about the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi of it all is that...it's not just that he's famous and therefore widely recognizable wherever he goes. like yes that is very funny because he was an exorcist before he became a famous actor, which means he CHOSE, on purpose, a day job that would make it harder to hide his double life/secret identity from the hordes of his adoring public, but it's more than that. it's not just that he's famous, it's that he's famous specifically for being an ACTOR, aka a person whose job it is to dissimulate, to make believe, to inhabit roles and emotions other than his own. like he decided he was going to become as visible as possible (which again was literally not necessary! he could have gone into any other career for his day job!!) but in such a way that everyone would see him but no one would see him - they would just see his various made-up personas, including the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi persona. i can't decide if he's a genius or if he just made so many absurd decisions that they canceled each other out and circled back around to working out. he's either playing 9-dimensional chess or he's eating the pieces. too soon to say.

#the other thing i love about it is that in a very real sense it's his actor day job that is his alter ego #being an exorcist is his normie job. he's just a famous celebrity on the side #which isn't that uncommon in secret identity setups but it's still very funny #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #natori shuuichi #natsuyuu meta #my posts #f #i think probably the actual answer is that acting was a very natural career choice because he already masks so extensively #both to hide that he can see things other people can't (and that youkai exist and that he exorcises them) #and to hide what he's really feeling so that no one can use it against him #so if it's already something he has to do & he's good at it...why not have someone tell him exactly how to do it & get paid for it? #and the other part of the answer is that most ppl don't go into acting assuming they'll get famous. the fame was a side effect #so each decision as it was being made probably made perfect sense. but put them all together #and you have this hilarious assortment of elements that seem to directly contradict each other #okay also i would be remiss if i didn't mention the other possible answer which is that the attention came first and was unavoidable #and the acting developed from the need to protect himself from the attention that he was going to be attracting no matter what he did #because he's so beautiful. and (in the exorcist world specifically) because he's the last of the natori #the more i talk about it the more i'm like no becoming a famous actor was the only path that made any sense for him lol #1) he's gonna be watched no matter what bc he's him -> gotta figure out how to hide his secrets -> learn to act as self-defense #or 2) he's got secrets -> he's gotten a lot of practice hiding them -> hey you could make a career out of this! #all roads lead to actor natori shuuichi. and since he's beautiful...all roads lead to FAMOUS actor natori shuuichi #i love it when i ramble so much in the tags that i end up contradicting my own post lol #he's neither thinking ten steps ahead nor is he irrational. he's simply making sensible individual decisions #that follow logically from what is available to him and what his priorities are

i found a book abt the anti lawn movement at the library & decided to sit out in my yard & read it. but ironically there was a neverending barage of power tool noises making it difficult to focus. so i walked to a nature park near me in order to escape the dreaded sounds. almost stopped at the mowed picnic table area bc i hate walking but fortunately pushed forward and made myself walk up an annoying hill to an area that is a preservation of a native oak savanna & sat down against a tree near the edge of the path & did my reading there. and honest to god that was a 100/10 experience. there was something so powerful abt being in a preserve for a locally native habitat while reading abt the impacts homeowners can have on native plant preservation! it powered up my energy towards my life mission (evangelize abt enviormentally sustainable gardening to every single person who comes within a 10 ft radius of me) by like. 15 points. also a deer walked up to me and that was super cool

#i was there for like 3 hours and i wanted to stay longer #but the sun was setting and i was hungry and had to pee super bad #gonna try to do this tommorow as well. bc ik winter is gonna hit soon #and then its not gonna be plausibe #i still heard Industrial Noises up there but i used my noise cancelling headphones #& that blocked most of it out #ive finallt started progressing on writing persuasive essay on this subject #previously id focoused my efforts mostly on reaserching the practical side of like. how to covert ur yard #+ what plants to use. etc #but now im looping background writing abt the actual reasoning behind it #which like. i feel like i needed zero actual persuasion to get on board w this. which is why i didnt #dedicate to much time to reaserching the 'why' #but i do a whole lot of promoting this subject to people i meet so i might as well read up & #try & create a more comprehensive & detailed resource to send to ppl #after i give them my Rip Up Your Lawn talk #i mean i give them the gardening advice resources. but i think some ppl need extra convincing & thats what this is for #LAWN LAWN RIP UP UR LAWN. KILL UR LAWN PLANT REAL PLANTS <3

catch me looking up nightingale symbolisms for tales of the passerine. if danny's using the name of a songbird for a hero name, regardless of familial connections, i will utilize the symbolism tied to the bird. Anyways general gist of the nightingale symbolism i've seen, other than what wikipedia told me, is that nightingales were frequently symbolisms of spring renewal, loss/death, love, etc. catch me about to incorporate music into Danny's character

#dpxdc #danny fenton is not the ghost king #tales of the passerine au #musician danny ftw. as someone who loves music i am more than happy to make this boy a frequent singer. this au is still baby #i can squeeze singer/musician danny in pr easily. #some favorite lines i saw while looking for symbolisms is that nightingales in roman culture were associated with venus and were also said #to provide comfort in the hours of darkness. eh eh? i saw a summary that in chinese folklore they were seen as symbols of hope #it didn't specify which dynasty but it did say it was a famous tale. cite also mentioned that in John Keats' “Ode to a Nightingale” #the bird’s enchanting song transports the poet to a world of transcendent beauty providing a temporary escape from the suffering and imperm #anyways looks like nightingales in gist symbolize comfort in dark times among other things #while robins in gist symbolize renewal. celebration of life. good luck. rebirth. #nightingale's color scheme in my mind is very much a dark purple-blue and black. maybe some gray too. #he'll probably try and ditch the black and white just out of paranoia. argh i need to come up with a suit design nooooo. superhero suit #design is my weakkkest design skill. have to balance between practical and a unique silhouette thats in line with their character. #esp since danny's not using his ghost half to be nightingale -- way too risky. also not using his powers/using them very little. #maybe i can work in an ocarina batman reference lmaoo. i can lean into comic/cartoon realism and have fun with that. as a treat

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

Sooo~ Here's a little practice I did for S/atoSugu voices~

It's definitely a first try, and I'm honestly more anxious than normal about sharing/posting it since I haven't seen any (!?) G/ojo or G/eto wavs on here, soooo my own internal bar is their actual voices, whiiich is difficult (impossible) to meet.

But as long as I clarify this is practice for getting their tones/speech patterns better, (and figuring out what pitch to set my voice at ToT) then I think it'll be okay that I posted something not up to my own standard..? maaaybe?~

Either way, I scripted, recorded, and edited this today, so I'm throwing it out into the void and whatever happens happens! (big thank you to @veersnz for basically 'shut up and allow yourself to be imperfect'ing me, I needed it <333)

#waterfallwav #still a wav even though it's just practice~ #I have ~ideas~ for them but to do so I need to get their tones/inflections down better #I think... part of the reason it feels so hard is that I adore G/ojo's tones/way of speaking so much? #Also just he has this sort of playful freedom that I find a biiit hard to copy #taunting/teasing which I do too naturally #so it's harder for me to do it the way HE would and not the way I would i think?? #also just... not having seen anyone else attempt them leaves it feeling more vulnerable~ #like I have to match the ACTUAL voices- not just do a good mimic in my own voice #either way I'm throwing this and scurrying away and hoping the fact it's practice means it'll be alright ToT #snzaudio #snzwav
