Omg Edgeworth stimming appreciation, I hope on that train any day. I used to be very insecure about some of my stimming , came from teasing when I was younger, and literally I saw a recent post you made of I think it was Defenseworth stimming? And honestly it made me feel a bit better about it cuz like, comfort character doing the same thing I do? Now that’s frickin cool :3

YEAAHHH I already drew stimming Edgeworth, so here’s a Phoenix instead :3

His nails are probably so destroyed (he just like me fr)

Yo! Do you have any notes/tips for your coloring process? I've always had trouble with that part of drawings looking good lmao and I really like yours! If not for your specific style, do you have any tips with that in general?

Iv gotten a few asks about how I color but iv always avoided answering because

A) I am absolutely awful at explaining things, and

B) I am a very Very lazy artist you should probably Not do the things that I do

BUT i feel bad gatekeeping(?) my horrible technique if it helps anybody ig ill try and explain so

✨✨✨Welcome to Reegis’ Probably Not Reputable (But Very Long Winded) Art Advice✨✨✨✨

line art of a random character for the example, just pic whatever colors you have in mind for your base colors, you can try using palette generators or basing it off of existing palettes/characters/whatever I have absolutely no idea how color theory works (& this is why you shouldnt listen to me) so im solely going off of vibes. but it is Rough so onto step 2 & 3

(edit to add i usually start off with the skin hair & clothes on separate clipping layers and merge them together towards the end.. i think i forgot to say that at all here oops)

I abuse the hellll out of layer blending modes. overlay, saturation & multiply mainly, but also difference, brightness & screen. (just doodle something & try all of em out to get a feel for them honestly ik theres a Lot and they can be intimidating) for this i just wanted a more cohesive warmer tone to start with so i added a peachy overlay & a slight ombré to the hair to add a bit more interest to the character.

then just the most basic of rendering, some blush & highlights just wherever i think theyd go.

Another thing they tell you Not to do, my next step is to block out all my shading in a vaguely purpleish multiply layer!!! i cant be assed to do it any other way im sorry…. once i have the basic shading down, i lock the layer & go in with air brush eraser & also airbrush in other colors wherever I think the purple is maybe too harsh/clashing

still wasnt 100% happy with the colors so messed around with some more layer filter/modes/whatever you call them then colored in my line art! i think this is honestly the saving grace for all of my art shshsdhhf color your lines people. doesnt have to be all (i dont, i like the contrast) but it usually helps to make some at least a little less harsh

then with a little more color tweaking im done! one random sleepy dude, fully colored (by my standards)

and then if a piece needs more dramatic lighting you justttt

im so serious play around with layer settings! these are just basic multiply & add(glow), there as so many others you can abuse the shit out of & nobody will know or care in your finished piece.

was this?? in any way helpful???? I hope so.

#THIS IS A BELATED ANSWER FOR ALL OF U MY B #scrolled back to find the earliest one i could bc i mean… you asked first #if this was in Any way helpful…. im glad #and also sorry. probably dont do these things #hmu if youd like me to clarify anything ill… do my best #asks #my art

[turnipoddity]

Your art made me realize that even though im still ace, im not aromantic because I want a love like the one you draw for Adam and Lawrence. Thank you and keep up the amazing work 💛

huh…oh my god I’m actually speechless 😭 this is probably the sweetest thing I’ve ever received on tumblr… tearing up rn

#im so glad i could help but im still in disbelief… oh my god im crying like actually #WHATTTT wow i can’t believe this. THANK YOU 😭❤️🙏 #asks #saw #me tagging saw in this sweet sweet ask is very unhinged

Hey, do you remember that really homoerotic scene from Skyfall? No? That's okay, here's a Vettonso version of it :)

- explanation & w/o text:

Hi hello, finally my weird psychosexual relationship with Casino Royale has come to fruition. Yeah this is directly based off a scene from Skyfall, but I def envision the vibe as being more like Casino Royale hehe. I can't believe I made that inspo board for this AU almost 4 weeks ago, and then ended up drawing a four panel "comic" about it. Ahhhh proud of myself, a bit, a tad. I think this took 20+ hours across the span of a week? God. Anyways I digress! The AU!!

First of all, their Bond song would be "My Way of Life" by Frank Sinatra. It's so toxic, codependent and obsessive, I'm in love with it. And it really suits Fernando and his motivations and outlook in this AU. Basically, MI6(in the context of James Bond) in this AU is an analog for Ferrari. It picks theses guys up, tells them that they're Ferrari MI6's most special boy, chews them up, and then spits them out when they're finished extracting all their talent and skill and life force.

Much like with Ferrari, Seb in this AU replaces Fernando after Fernando loses favor and becomes undesirable. Now Seb is the new golden boy, and Fernando has turned to a life of crime! Fernando resents Seb for this of course, but also becomes obsessed with him and the idea of him , and how they are connected. It's weird to watch someone else basically go down your exact same path and unknowingly make all the same mistakes(buying into the mysticism of it all too much, being overly cocky, having naive beliefs and goals, etc.) He is caught between wanting to doom Seb even more but also wanting to "save" him, by corrupting him and convincing him to work together.

Basically: He's both a Bond girl and Bond villain.

Fernando is in such a weird place in this AU. I think he's just very dramatic. Seb is just casually living his best 007(005?) life, and Nando is watching him with binoculars, whispering to himself: "DOESN'T HE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE NARRATIVE FOILS!?" Yeah he hates Seb, but like the song lyrics say, their lives and dreams are inherently tied up together. He would feel lost without Seb, because Seb basically, unknowingly, destroyed and then took over his life. Maybe he'll feel satisifed if he manipulates Seb into going down the exact same path a bit better.

About the drawings themselves. Still can't believe this scene is a real thing that actually happened, insane to me. But in this AU, after the events of these drawings, Fernando definitely kicked all his henchman out of the room, and fucked Seb in the chair. And then against the wall. And then on the floor. Hey man, Seb is already looking mighty delicious with his unbuttoned attire and being tied up.

I think the general plot would be that Fernando keeps trying to seduce him to the dark side, and Seb keeps making him think it worked, only to escape at the end of the encounter. Leading Fernando to just come up with increasingly more violent and kinky traps. Seb goes along with it(read: enjoys it), leaving Fernando satisifed, only to somehow escape and wink and make kissy faces at Fernando in the process. (Fernando smoking cigarette in bed: "How do I make him stay. Sigh.")

I like to think though that Fernando does win in the end, by realizing, ah wait shit I do need to actually explain my motivations to Seb. And Seb is so worn down by his job, not Fernando, and how he's being treated, that he listens, really actually listens, and realizes Fernando does really have valid reasons. And then they become evil crime husbands yayyyy. Wow you thought this was a espionage AU? Well it is, but just not the outcome you'd expect.

#ah well this was certainly a project.... #rn i feel like im devolving into illness so im glad i could finish this up before it possibly gets worse #this is my magnum opus as of rn. just bcs ive not really drawn such a longform thing for them!! happy w it :) #i think i def like the first one the best #it made me suffer so bad but i think i soften on my own art after a few days #like i finish it and know its 'good' but cant help but critique every little thing #but ive had that one done for almost a week so now i look at it and really love it #i was originally just going to draw that one only but then realized i really like the full dialog so. might as well. #generally i liked this though bcs even if it ws difficult. it was nice to have really direct and clear reference #like ah ik where im going w this rather than it being an image in my head that i cant represent the way that I want #ah anyways all my vettonso aus tend to be just wanting to explore specific dynamics of theirs #and this one is basically how i feel about their mutual relationship to the institution of ferrari and how it affects their dynamic #basically: THEY'RE MIRRORS!!! #there's always something to be said abt nando being resentful abt seb bcs of 2010/2012/etc and then seb taking his seat at ferrari #but then witnessing seb basically go thru the same trials and tribulations and failures at ferrari #and realizing huh wait maybe he's not who i was villianizing him as. maybe hes at my level too. maybe he's not infallible. maybe hes like m #a very bitter nando who has to fight btwn his impulse to ruin seb further or to relate to him and start to like him #so yeah that's ^ basically what i want to portray in this au(just like all AUs tbh) #f1 #formula 1 #sebastian vettel #fernando alonso #catie.rambling.txt #catie.art. #vettonso #bond au

I know it's been days since Wish was released, but I finally watched it and...

I still think Enchanted (2007) is the Disney movie that celebrates the classics while bringing an original story to all audiences.

It has romance, music by Alan Menken, 2D animation, a cool villain, and a amazing cast!

#I really wanted to like wish #but I can't help but feel disappointed #it could have been a masterpiece #aside from Zootopia Encanto and Wreck it Ralph #Disney is still suffering from weak writing #and it doesn't help that the concept art of the movie had really cool ideas and the execs most likely toned it down to make it as marketable #im really sorry #if you liked this movie #I'm very glad :') #but please respect my opinion on this movie #mstalks #msposts #disney wish #wish #wish movie #wish 2023 #disney wish 2023

if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified

#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing #i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though #at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself #as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed #escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date #although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL #ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting #workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety #i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back #AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO #im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts #i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem #in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material #and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school #maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess #only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard #hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms #i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work #not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall #anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh #yapping

Something I do when wanting to put links in author's notes is to write it at the bottom of the fic in the rich text version, then cut and paste it on the notes! It's far easier that way imo - Dove

Hi! Your art is really good it inspires me to keep going despite still feeling quite like a beginner artist

But I would like to ask if it Is possible for someone to become a good artist/animator if they aren’t very experienced with drawing or lack talent ?

Oh it is 100% possible for any person to become a good artist! Artistry also includes poetry, writing, digital art, painting, animating, sculpting, etc, so theres a ton to discover, learn about, and specialize in :)

I recommend drawing daily or often. Sounds kinda dull, but i drew for fandoms regularly over the years. Through my exposure of that, I slowly got better at art and writing.

There will always be a bigger fish, but know your a big fish in your own right! It's healthy to be proud of your creations, even if they have a ton of flaws. You made it and thats an amazing feat! Gratification does not equal arrogance.

Find Friends to Draw With. Many of my art friends are online or long time friends of mine 💕 and my relationships with them goes to show just how much other people can inspire you to keep going with your own art and ideas!

It's taken me more than 7 years to get where I am with drawing (not to scare you or anything, i started in high school), but for some it may take way less than that. It really depends on your work flow and art availability. Take your time, have fun, and remember to stay connected with people. It's hard to do it alone <3

#bread #ask stuff #hope this helps! Love your comment #Qwq im glad I could inspire you to keep going with art. Ur awesome.

(anon bc not out as a system, yeah the same one that sent an ask the first time Riley was out on their own)

Yeah I have three headmates that share my name, and then another that literally looks exactly like me in headspace but is completely different in personality. Being a creative with DID is so fucking weird because you'll be creating a representation or character version of yourself and then whoops turns out you have other people in your head that also identify with the you in your head.

I found this out recently and characters from a story I'm actively writing keep coming out of the woodworks like heyyyyyyy, I'm real btw. So I feel you. This shit is very confusing at every turn, you're not alone in that. Idk if you're a host or go with labels like that, but it's at least been comforting me to know that, yes, it is in fact worst for the "apparently normal part". Most stressful, at least.

Good luck! Thanks for being open about this stuff. Idk if this ask helps you, but your posting abt this has made me feel significantly less alone. No idea how you're public about it, but it's doing me a lot of good, so thanks.

Woah! Glad to see so many folks with similar to downright overlapping experiences to one another on this whole subject! Little Pocket has been the source of all my known headmates so far, so it's not unlikely that- as the host- somewhere further down the line one of my characters who represents me (I'm especially suspecting Violette as the one currently rooting around up in my head) is gonna pop up in here, and the cycle continues from there, ehehe.

Also yeah! generally speaking, I like being open and honest with all these little parts of me. I want folks to know that they're seen, and valid. I'm a person of color, I'm fat, I'm autistic and have ADHD, I'm queer as all getout, and now I have a new thing to add to that list too. I know what it's like to feel isolated or scared beyond words to be myself, so I wanna use the little crowd I have to document these aspects of myself, and hopefully help folks feel welcome. Especially when they can't be out and open themselves.

You've got folks cheering for ya, remember that.

i wanna try to make a little smunker figure bc a family friend offloaded his partner's unused clay supplies to me, including pasta maker/roller and a little oven specifically for baking it...

Also included some opened and unopened clay but idk i kinda wanna go the "get flesh colored clay and then paint it at the end" route bc im very bad at managing amount of clay needed esp if i have to mix it for different colors also i think painting it wld be relaxing...i jst need to buy some clay.....i jst need to buy some clay.....

#and get like rubbing alcohol and acetone bv i heard that helps with removing dust and such at different stages #i cant find any good tutorials but #if i could id be inspired to learn to sew so i cld make a poseable smunker art doll... #and id wanna get skilled enough to make a cow al figure too.... #watch me not do anything tho #talkys #im so glad i was given some tools bc idk i wouldve hated to #invest in new hobby supplies and then not do anything with em. like with everything else #even then if i miraculously get into this ill only ever make a smunker figure and a few other oc figures and thats it #bc im not creative #ykwim

Scrolling through your art tag every once in a while cuz it’s like feeding my eyes dessert. It’s made me stop procrastinating on making comics too because I enjoy yours so much!!!

WHAT oh this is so so sweet!!! 😭❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU SMM

#asks #IM SO GLAD I COULD HELP

[doctorsiren]

merry Christmas, Siren! Under the cover of anonymity I can say without awkwardness that you’ve been such an inspiration to me on my art journey <3

side note I saw your art in my brother’s game design class a couple years ago and asked him about it— you were in the same class!! so that’s cool I guess

NO WAY wait that’s crazy

Was it the big poster I made?!? ALSO HUH SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ME IRL?!?! There were only 12 people in the class, but idk who it would have been

That’s insane omg

Merry Christmas!!
