My art inspirations
William Heath Robinson- He was an English Cartoonist that lived though 1872-1944. Not only do I enjoy his drawings because of the fun elements that he would bring into them with machines, but I really like his use of line. His use of a single width for his line work and other artists have directly affected my own works. I also really enjoy the flat colors that he uses in his works.
John James Audubon- He was a American- French artist and ornithologist ( study of birds) who lived from 1785-1851. He recorded and painted many species of birds that are native here in America. I love his art. The composition, the colors, the accuracy of the birds is to die for. Huge inspiration when it comes to drawing birds. Recommend studying his art if your interested in bird drawing!
(Also the last bird picture is of a Carolina Parakeet, which was the only parakeet native to the southwest of North America)
(unfortunately it went extinct around the 1900's, which is a shame as it looks like it was such a pretty bird)
He also drew some mammals from America (tbh though some of them look a bit..... odd). This guy looks hella cursed lol
(both bird and racoon pics were from my collection of books based on his art)
Joe Weatherly- He is a California based artist that focuses on animal art. His artworks are very dynamic in nature and I love his use of color in his artworks. He also has done multiple books on drawing animals and of his own art (first picture is of his book Animal Essence). I highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning how to draw animals!
Here's a link his website for anyone interested https://www.joeweatherly.com/
(Images were taken from my own copy of his book Animal Essence)
Group of artworks from Pauline Cherrett's book "Chinese Brush Painting: A Beginner's Guide"
I have always been a fan of brushwork in artworks and have always been inspired by Chinese brush painting and Japanese woodblock art. I've always liked nature and landscapes and flowers which tend to be the main subjects of this type of art and honestly I just really enjoy them ( I mean look at the brushwork its amazing).
(all of these pictures come from my copy of the book)
So this was just a small list of some of the artworks and artist that inspire me and my art. Wanted to write this blog for myself as a sort of reference point and to show others different artists that they may not know of. I also have another blog like this one which I'll link if anyone is interested.
Honestly this was so much fun to write! I mainly write a ton for college and it can be a bit taxing but it's nice to write something for myself and on a topic I really enjoy!

Based on "Mark me as yours" where Astarion found out he can cross running water.
He was so relaxed floating downstream that when he finally got up he realized he was lost. Uh oh.
...Wait, you made that? You read my fic AND you made that??
WHAT.
This is amazing.

So here's some evidence that the "intestines" visible in Higgs' abdomen are actually an umbilical cord
I went frame by frame through the trailer a few times and noticed that in this shot, there's a clear view of the cord emerging from a port on his side:
(crappy screenshots ik ik bear with me)
Here's another view of that same port after the cable has been plugged into the guitar:
If you slow it down while he unplugs it during this shot:
It retracts back into his body. It appears to be mobile on its own and plugs itself into the guitar hands-free.
Also, shout out to twitter user @aquoolkart (they're awesome, go follow if you have twitter) for this art, captioned, "Without his red shell he looks like a BT and I wonder..." which kojima retweeted.

Hand in hand and chest to chest, [Diluc and Kaeya are] closer than they’ve been in years.
There’s too many lies between them to act on the sentiments choking him now. Too many layers of deception. Here in the dark on the rooftops, neither of them are their true selves.
aaaaAAAAAAAH my birthday gift from @isa-ah is done! he was so kind as to draw one of my favorite scenes from Roots and deserves all the kudos for drawing those incredibly complicated outfits so well~
go commission him!!!
