hey hey ! ive been lovingly staring at all ur art ever since i found you n ‘ i wanna say !! i love ur artstyle !! sm !! waaugh !! <33

have a star ⭐️

a question ive been meaning to ask though , i cant really seem to find much information about your lights out au , unfortunately ^^”

may i ask what exactly is the premises ? :O

so the Lights Out au is essentially: the Welcome Home Puppet Show was shut down prematurely, and without any warning to the puppets. the employees turn off the studio lights when they leave for the last time, completely abandoning the building and the sapient puppets inside. the building is locked and boarded up to ensure that nothing gets out.

the lights turn off halfway through the neighbors' "day", and everyone - except Wally - goes to sleep, assuming the day got away from them & its just time for bed. the lights never come back on, the neighbors don't wake up, and problems start to arise from the lack of light. Wally and Home are left to deal with all of this alone.

(and Eddie is in the water cause... well. he's just in there! fr tho it's just a running joke for the au <3)

#yeah the info about it is rather scattered... #mostly because its scattered in my brain! and the docs i made for it! #a lot of it is still nebulous in my mind but its slowly taking shape into something Concrete i can work with #unfortunately my creative process is rarely cohesive or straightforward #a lot of the posts are more memey than anything #which directly conflicts with how the au is supposed to be- #which is: angst central babey!!!! #ive trying to hype myself up to scribble lil mini-comic things #for scenes and such i have in my head #we'll see if i ever manage! #wh lights out au #rambles from the bog #also thank you <3 sticking the star to my forehead like a fruit sticker <3 #and anon dw its not a dumb question! i only outright said what the premise is like... Once ahaha

parsley's spellbook also acts as a journal/alchemy notebook/place for doodles. it's survived very many explosions from experiments gone wrong

#bg3 oc #bg3 tav #bg3 #bg3 fanart #baldurs gate 3 #not enough energy to fit all the companions in unfortunately #was fun to essentially make up a new art style #I think parsley would draw with a lot of shapes b/c they have practice from drawing arcane diagrams

Do you think Death took on different appearances just to please Mathias? Heck, maybe appearance of an certain knight?

Short answer: Yes.

I mean Death definitely took a liking to Mathias at some point (since he will later insist on bringing him back to life because he misses his immortal "friend" too much :( ). So it's to be expected that he'd do something nice for him once in a while, out of his own free will. :) (not that he needs to change to charm Mathias, but I guess turning into a fair haired pretty boy helps a bit. <3)

Now I wonder... Can Death take the appearance of anyone, existing or not, like a succubus/incubus can? Or maybe... He can only take the appareance of dead people. In that case, you can guess the implication of him turning into Leon, one night. :)

#maybe he grew confident as he took different shapes to please Mathias night after night #but then he turned into Elisabetha. and Mathias snapped at him :) #let's just say Death never tried anything like that ever again #Mathias: Death. I told you already. I appreciate the intention... But I find you have your charm as a skeleton. You don't need to- #Death: *Turns into Leon* #Mathias: *Start undressing* Damnit Death you'll be the end of me #Death: :3 #anyway there's as much cute potential and hot potential and drama potential with this idea #imagine Mathias snapping at Death the first time he turned into Elisabetha #.........but after some time....... Mathias ask him to turn into her again........ #just so they can cuddle :( so he can feel like he has his wife again :( #unfortunately. Death cannot replicate her warmth......... #I am going to make myself cry I need to stop #castlevania #mathias cronvist #deathias #death castlevania #anonymous ask

i am so miserable these days it's unreal. let's hear it for the misery folks everyone give it up for the misery 👏👏👏

#i do nothing but sleep and then overeat out of stress and pain and then become more stressed and pained and sleep more #nothing excites me nothing is worth waking up for nothing makes me passionate or happy #i wake up every day after awful nightmares and the first thing i notice is the agony in my hips and it does not improve #i cry 2-3 times a week when i used to never cry at all while on my bipolar meds #i have stories i fall in love with (like the silt verses) but they only fleetingly hold my attention compared to the past #every time i flap about headcanons it's a little more desperate a little more transparently trying to escape my body #having more and more days where i simply play phone games all day because i'm in so much pain that #even merely scrolling tumblr or trying to watch tv / youtube makes me feel pukey #i need to see a doctor really bad aha. except theyre just going to say #you're fat and out of shape. stop eating everything and take a walk #completely disregarding that my hips are both subluxing with every goddamn step i take #it's fucking horrible. it's fucking horrible in here and if i was an animal they'd put me down out of kindness #unfortunately. i am a human being. #negative #disordered eating / #food / #i GUESS. #autoimmune tag

OHH wait actually is sasuke shinden just that cluster of episodes at the very end of shippuden where he goes around with orochimaru and that little girl who is old actually? idk i wasnt paying attention. and calls him sasuke-chan and he starts waxing poetic about naruto at every opportunity

#txt157 #this is rhetorical im pretty sure it is #unfortunately retsuden probably wont be animated which sucks #because the thing wl. wait. ok the thing with nrto's mysterious illness was already animated and it did not conclude w the stuff from #the novel. unless it did and i just didnt watch it #because i thought it was just the sauke vs dinosaurs #which id already read and heard the dino fight takes like 3 full eps for no reason #finale of retsuden is kinda lgbt though so idk i might revisit ujst to verify #ill give it to brto. ON OCCASION. youre in bad shape. so are you. at least i can stand <- the delivery on #these is bizarre truly #its the gay little contrapposto scene for all the true cartoonrival fans out there who remember

[archerism]

hey sorry to ask this on your non-art blog but i was wondering if you could explain the process and decisions you make when - and im not sure if im saying this properly because im still new to art - you apply stylistic choices to anatomy? i love your art and what im curious about is how you make your anatomy stylistic while retaining their recognizability? do you feel that there are certain details about a reference that you should capture to retain that more than others? thank you for your time! i hope this made sense!

anon you're lovely. i'll try and answer this the best i can, but--crucially--i have very little in the way of actual artistic training and have truly been making shit up this whole time, so grain of salt for everything i say! (under the cut because its long)

firstly i wanna say 2 disclaimers:

i have been doing art/capturing faces for a Long Ass Time (i think art's been my main hobby for...nearly a decade now?). i'm only "good" because i have a shit ton of practice. art always takes time and effort, there isn't like. A Key to doing it perfectly

i don't always get it right! i only post the things which turn out the best! i have a ton of poorly done drawings that look nothing like the person i'm trying to capture.

alright, that being said. there are certain features i try to get right for any person i'm trying to capture: face shape/jawline, nose, eye shape/tilt/distance, eyebrows, and lips (or lack thereof). yes this may seem like all the features. it is not tho.

after that i look for anything else that stands out: for BJ, for instance, it's his ears, the shape of his forehead/his hairline, and the particular kinda down-turned/hangdog look of his stache (he is SO hard to draw without it, for me), and for Hawkeye it's his cheeks/laugh lines when he smiles (the lines around his mouth and his crow's feet), his occasional double chin, and his brow ridge.

and these aren't things i ever render in like, insane detail...just little lines following the contours of features and indicating that they're There usually does fine? for stronger features like face shape/nose/etc it takes a bit more intentional doing, for me, but i still tend to just do The Outlines. (it might be helpful to pull up a reference and just trace whichever features stick out the most to you, and go from there)

after that its a lot of trial and error. like, a LOT. for me it usually takes several passes with several different references at different angles/with different expressions, or a while of looking at a person (so like. binging a show, or being friends with someone for a while), or both, in order to get a feel for someone's face and be able to draw it consistently.

(to illustrate this point and also embarrass myself, here are my first ever attempts at drawing Hawkeye right after i started MASH in 2022, vs a much more recent attempt:

as you can see i was fucking struggling. lmao. again it's all about time/practice/familiarity)

after a while of trial and error, you'll start to get a feel for which features you want to emphasize--it won't be the same for every character, and you probably won't emphasize all the same things another artist would. and the specific way you capture/emphasize features will be unique to you! here are some more artists with similar(ish) stylized styles you should check out and get inspo from (i certainly have), in no particular order: leescribbs, loopnoid, steadbox, tinyufoboss, averysartblog, pherredraws, and a ton more i'm probably forgetting (sorry)

you don't have to do everything i do (or everything anyone else does) with your own stuff, this is just how i personally do it. i wish you the best of luck with your art journey, anon! i hope you have fun with it!!! :-)

#asks #tldr: its all about the Shapes and Lines and also It Depends #idk if this was helpful at all??? but. i tried #unfortunately ive been doing this for so long that i just kinda. Do It? so its hard to explain #HOW i do it. yknow #but anyway. #thinks for thanking of me anon. this was a very sweet message to get in my ask box <3

[skylordhorus]

i already do not like brutalist architecture but now i dislike it even more out of grumpiness after i saw a frankly kinda pretentious and self aggrandising post chain that acted like brutalism is THE Leftist Architectural Style(tm), that ornamentation is for the bourgeoisie, and that a preference for older or ancient architecture is absolutely a capitalist and/or neo nazi red flag/dogwhistle

#*deep space noises* #i mean the last thing isnt untrue unfortunately but mates.......... like many things it isnt as black and white as that #i cant fault brutalism for its practicality and i respect ppl who can see the beauty in it #but it just makes me depressed to look at #it unfortunately combines 1. my dislike of flat uninterrupted space 2. a lack of organic shapes #and 3. my hatred of concrete #blease give me vernacular architecture!! #especially beams or rough n chunky stone bricks #but ya i love how architecture can reflect the environment that its built in and the culture of the people who built it #its beautiful!!!!! #like mum and i have played enough uk geoguessr that we can now p reliably pinpoint the region of the country #just by the architectural style #and we're just one small island #if everything everywhere had the same design principle no amount of assertions of functionality #would make me feel less sad

How the FUCK do you draw DRAGON FACES AND EYES

I can get the body and head down ya know? but its the damn FACE that fucks me up when drawing faces

So if its not to much of a burden, could you please give some tips on how to draw dragon faces?

oh boy i am the Wrong person to ask lmfao - when drawing dragon faces 90% of the time im confused and fucking it up 20 times before getting it right and the other 10% is just "wait how the fuck did i do that? nice! anyway"

i've been drawing dragons for so long that the drawing process is almost entirely subconscious! and i'm not entirely sure what you mean by Faces instead of heads! but i can still attempt to offer Some advice - specific references, that kinda thing

uh i think one thing that's good to keep in mind is that dragons (typically - dragons are a Wide range of shapes and sizes so this is technically subjective) have Binocular Vision. forward facing eyes! just like us, predator animals, birds of prey. personally i like to mainly study dinosaur skulls when working on how i draw dragons, especially raptors and tyrannosaurs. i think dinosaurs are a Really good reference since they're pretty much the closest thing we have to real life dragons. so the eyes are generally higher than the snout or level with the top of it. tldr: understanding that they have forward facing eyes helps shape and Place the eyes correctly.

i'm not sure if i can help with the Shape of eyes? i tend to draw eyes mostly the same no matter what i scribble. but Another thing i'd recommend using as a reference - specifically for the snout and how it bunches / how the muscles move - is look at pictures of wolves snarling / facially expressing. they are a Great base point.

with the eyebrows/eyeridges uh. i suppose they tend to be rectangular! or Oblong! just flexible little logs placed over the eyes. they tend to be level with where the top of the head is. again i will recommend looking up photos of Tyrannosaurus Rex Facing Forward, they have some great ridges

but yeah just! look around! play around with facial structure and what feels/looks right To You! look up those expression sheets/memes and use 'em for practice, they're great for that! and as i will always say - Dragons Dont Look Just One Way! Fuck Around And Find Out What's Dragon To You!

oh, and also look at anthro art. there's a lot of really good anthro art that can help show you how to place/move facial features on an animal with forward-facing eyes and much room for expression <3

#shoutout to furries for providing a lot of Stellar references #oh yeah and like yk watch dragon movies i guess! #httyd is always my first rec for studying dragons - their faces their bodies their wings their flight physics #but yeah it really depends on how You shape your dragons heads #there's so much room for variation and stylization... #rambles from the bog #but yeah sorry for the Less Than Great tips! #i do not really think when drawing dragons! #i just kinda start scribbling and then Boom dragon on screen #i draw a lot of different shapes and kinds so i dont have a solid Specific Way Of Drawing Faces #unfortunately my methods continue to be RANDOM BULLSHIT GO #and trust me i fuck up sooooo so so much #for every successful dragon face i post there is an hour of Agony behind it #and countless failed sketches... #in conclusion: i dont know! take my hand we can be confused Together <3
