In 2022 I had a chance to meet Jon Bernthal at a convention in Pittsburg. Of *COURSE* I was going to make an embroidery!

Here is my reference photo VS. the final Embroidery design.

Reference Images vs My Artworks!

(for various artworks from 2022)

last year I wrote this post about using references in art and shared a few examples of my art vs the references I used, so I thought I’d do an updated version for my new artworks from this year! 

as stated in the post, it doesn’t bother me that my artworks aren’t 100% like the reference because my main goal is always to bring my own artistic vision and creative flair to a piece! (Essentially, the accuracy isn’t as important to me as the ~vibes~ lol)

I think it’s also important to remember that you can use references to accentuate a certain feeling within the character/scene/etc you’re drawing! For me that often means making people look sadder than in the original image because Angst is my middle name lol

#art advice #reference vs art #art references #digital art #fanart #not really sure what to tag tbh lol #i hope this is interesting??? i just kinda wanted to do an update w/ more recent arts #since i always like seeing how other artist's interpret references lol #i ofc could only include artworks where i only really used one reference #(like for e.g. i had like 15 tabs open for my killing eve painting which i couldnt rly put in a post like this....)

Raphs and Wrestling (2/3) ❤️🐢

All the Raphs get to see a match! And a new Raph joins the party! I watched Batman vs the TMNT sometime ago and have gotten questions about them and decided they deserve to be in this crossover as well <3 so because I watched it afterwards they showed up a bit late traveling from Gotham lol. This Raph also made me realize another thing a lot of them have in common: motorcycles so stay tuned for the next part!!

This has the same continuity as the bandanna bow Mikeys comic where all the other turtle iterations have been dropped into the Rise universe and they all hang out and vibe <3

The chaotic father-child duo, guest starring my terrible experiments with applying faces to sticks.

#animation vs animator #animation vs minecraft #King Orange #Purple #MT #King duo #Knightmare Art #I personally like Purple using 'Old Man' to refer to King #It's a nice middle ground between calling him dad and just being their usual sarcastic self #MT uses Purple primarily along with a cycle of nicknames ranging from 'brat' to 'sweetheart' #Which nickname he uses depends on how Purple's behaving

That feeling when he can't stand to see you that way, no matter what you do, no matter what you say😩😭💔

#scott pilgrims precious little life #scott pilgrim vs the world #spvtw #spto #scott pilgrim #wallace wells #lisa miller #scollace #kim pine #natalie adams #envy adams #don't rlly know if I like how this turned out but oh well;;; #hope its obvious that this is based on the song “Scott Pilgrim” which the creation the comics were inspired from #the lyrics always make me think of Wallace and Lisa's feelings for Scott every time I hear it #ofc you could also relate it to Kim especially since the singers voice kind of reminds me of her #but overall the lyrics fit these two much better since Scott never truly “saw them that way” despite how long they've liked him #and they always seem happier to see him compared to Kim #Im surprised tho that I havent yet seen anyone draw these two together now that their dialogue parallels have been acknowledged more lately #also tho I wish more people pointed out that they both got cucked by red heads LOL #and Kim and Envy actually do look really similar when scott first meets them #makes me wonder if Scott subconsciously went for Envy since she reminded him of Kim (which would be fitting given that you could argue that #Envy dated Scott because he reminded her of Todd. Since he and Scott are confirmed to be meant to be seen as similar to one another #so much so that even their first and last names rhyme #last thing I'll add tho is that while Wallace and Lisa are very similar even personality wise #the one big difference is that despite that whole conclusion on vol4 of Scott not cheating on Ramona with Lisa because he loves her #the writers apparently think it would be “organically correct” for him to have an affair with wallace LMAO #but I guess we shouldn't be surprised since Wallace and Ramona are both in the front of the official valentines art which is clearly #a deptiction of Scotts wet dream or smth (oh and you could also argue that Wallace and Lisa parallel on that art since they're both #shirtless with white socks.. which could be a reference to how lisa wears skimpy clothes for Scott and Wallace often only wears boxers #to like sexually frustrate Scott for fun or smth

"You fall down to all fours and you heave and arch your back, which doubles in length. Your legs grow and thicken and all end in big, powerful hooves. Your neck stretches, your face stretches as though it were rubber. And you recover and stand up, proudly, on all four hooves. You have turned into a werehorse."

#that eps ending kinda traumatized me ngl #forced transformations are one of my biggest fears in horror #and griffin sold it with his description of that scene #i really wanted to convey the horror of that and how i felt through the party's expressions #also when constructing this i was like... #is this like twilight princess rules with wolf link? #or the owl house rules with eda's owl beast form? #so i kinda went with both? with the outline of godwin's clothes kinda fading/melding into her horse body #also wink wink the silhouette pov is a reference to disney's pinocchio #taz vs dracula #the adventure zone #taz versus dracula #cw: body horror #horror art #nightowldraws #lady godwin #werebeast #fanart #horror comics
