#that was such a vivid picture in my mind

[autumnblooms]

@crimsonclergy & @herbal-quintessence the Pastor!Dew got a bit angsty 😅

The night before Dew’s first sermon as the church’s new pastor, Rain walks into their bedroom to find Dew hunched over the edge of the bed, shoulders shaking softly as he thumbs his rosary. As he kneels down behind him, he can hear Dew whispering a prayer with each pass of a bead, asking the Dark Lord to guide him with His wisdom. Rain just wraps Dew in his arms without saying a word, kissing his shoulder and joining his heart in his prayers.

#inspired by crim’s post about pious dew praying over the edge of his bed #that was such a vivid picture in my mind #I might clean this up and color it eventually #my art #the band ghost #nameless ghouls #dewdrop ghoul #rain ghoul #ghost band #midwest emo ghouls au

the chain at a cracker barrel

@skyloftian-nutcase

time: man just wants to eat. please stop telling him that his kids are ruining the candy display. his pancakes are getting cold

twilight: so polite you'd think he's at his ma's house. keeps asking to send compliments back to the chef

warriors: sitting on a rocking chair on the porch because the dang kids are too loud. he's not hungry anyway (he is). playing solo musical chairs because they somehow stop rocking after a minute

four: slaps away the kids menu and orders a meal that they're pretty sure is supposed to feed a small family

wind: holding a giant stuffed animal to hide his pockets which are obviously overstuffed with stolen candy

wild: nobody knows where he is. twilight claims that he ate his food and left only a minute ago. wind says he saw him near the clothes. hyrule thinks he spotted him in the bathroom. he's fine probably

legend: also on the porch to get some peace and quiet. keeps zapping warriors' rocking chair with his ice rod

hyrule: transfixed by the candy display. hangs on the back of time's chair and begs for enough rupees to buy some of each

sky: fell asleep on the table after some coffee and eggs. twilight was barely able to avoid a faceplant on his plate

in light of the current depressing air surrounding bsd Canon I have decided to make character ai chuuya confess his love for dazai.

As you can see, I was successful :D

I will take recommendations on who to do next as well as ships to do

#Doing this I had such a big dumb smile on my face #10/10 would recommend #Doing this as a coping mechanism #Also I made chuuya so red I'm pretty sure his face is redder than his hair #Also please ignore all the typos #I am currently ignoring the dumpster fire known as season 5 and will be delulu #I'm thinking about doing dazai confessing that he loves chuuya next or doing sskk #Idk #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd dazai #bsd chuuya #soukoku #bsd skk #bsd atsushi #bsd akutagawa #bsd sskk #Chuuya saying “I do love him” while taking a puff of a cigarette paints such a vivid picture in my mind #Like someone please draw that #I would but unfortunately my art skills are limited to ok chibi headshot doodles

do you ever think about what kind of lives your dragon age ocs had if they lived in a modern AU

#ok so damian would 100% be a med student i have that image so vivid in my mind #he'd like to be a pediatrician spesifically #and he would be into digital drawing and photography #would go to the gym like 7 days a week lmao with no cheating #he would live in england i think #would have at least three pitbulls #and a motorcycle #he would go to a lot art galleries and museums and have a picture of him and fenris kissing in front of some famous painting in instagram #speaking of instagram he has over 10k followers on his personal account and even more on his art account #oc: damian #sorry i've given this a lot of thought sksalskdk #sulahna would work a boring office job to make a living but would love to actually be a writer #but she has her son to think about so she can't just quit her well paying job to pursue her dreams yet #she'd be a stress baker and coffee snob also a gardening enthusiast #grows her own veggies in her little patio #her husband is still dead and she's very sad but then she meets an intriguing stranger in the train on her way to work 🫣 #oc: sulahna #i haven't given a lot of thought what ashara would do because she's a little undeveloped still #but i think she would be a florist #with her own little shop #and would send secret messages through the flowers she gives to her friends/family #oc: ashara #oc tag #sorry for rambling i just think it #it's fun to think about

Akira please... All a girl really wants to know is the answer to the age old question of were Wataru's birth parents neglectful, and his adoptive parents are nice but just bad off money wise, or are they practically as bad as each other?

#i will be happy whether we get Wataru dragon scout or Wataru lookback tomorrow #but please god let it be the lookback. #theres so much evidence to suggest both of these things but Wataru's the biggest liar in enstars #so no matter how many paragraphs of analysis on every little detail we have i write #i always go back to the quotes and look at them from a different angle #then think #hang on a minute #that could be interpreted from a completely different angle... #and then i write another paragraph of a different option #happyele im begging you #akira please #tell us why he is the way that he is. #tell us why he doesnt know his name in santuary #and why he says to eichi #'if they truly didnt love you they might have done something like throw you away without even giving you a name' #because those two things alone paint a very vivid picture of his childhood in my mind #and oh there are so many more colours to paint with!! #but im looking at akiras composition from every angle possible and cant quite capture it properly.... #eichi tenshouin #ensemble stars #wataru hibiki #enstars #hibiki wataru

clawing at the walls chomping on the bars of my cage. i NEED to get better at character design

#i just finished reading the time machine and i think its suuuch an interesting piece of historical literature. #historical scifi more accurately. idk theres something so compelling to me lately about seeing the roots of so many cornerstones of fiction #that we kind of take for granted nowadays #it put SUCH vivid pictures in my mind. i could see everything so clearly as i was reading it was so cool. #i want to draw how i pictured weena and the morlocks and the sphinx statue so bad #but i KNOW my art skills are not to the point where i would be satisfied with the results. sigh

[birthdayplant]

just found out ppl can see imagery in their heads????uhhhhh

#when i think of a person or a memory i can't see anything in my mind...it's more of a sensation? #example when i think about my best friend i get washed over with a feeling rather than being able to picture them in my mind #but then when i dream it's vivid as hell and full of color and imagery and symbols and even sound like???

if Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria was in business in 2013 you just KNOW they'd have Foxy singing What Does The Fox Say every fucking day to the point where it ruins the song completely for any and all company employees

#i have a vivid picture in my mind of this #his animatronic mouth opening and closing to the vocals #the little squeaks of his parts as he does some choreographed movements #mine #shitpost #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #what does the fox say #throwback #foxy #fnaf foxy

How do you come up with your poses and such? Your art feels so dynamic, I feel like I’m stuck in a place where all my drawings/paintings come out as “character facing left” so I’d love to hear how you do it!

Oh!! Gosh this is A Topic, so I will do my best!!

I won't regurgitate the same advice everyone always does with the "look up references for poses" because, and this is me admitting a fault, I barely ever did. But I will admit that looking up poses and drawing studies of them makes you learn LEAGUES faster

Rather than offer resources (theres many, and im not knowledgeable) I will offer my motivation: characters interacting with each other

I also started out drawing a lot of 'character facing left' (as many people do)!! but over time i just evolved to get better with poses specifically because I wanted my characters to interact with each other, and convey the right emotions while doing so!

Ive been drawing comics (well, mostly short strips) for a very, VERY long time, I used to just settle to have the characters facing each other, and change their expressions, and the position of their arms, but they always felt stiff. It's over the course of years that I started getting into body language and framing of the characters (i feel like the latter especially is very very underappreciated when people talk about this stuff) You could have the most interesting looking pose in the world, and it might look stiff if all of it is visible and presented removed from context (like say, a background); and you could have a generally chill pose but have the right colors, the right cropping and angle, and make it incredibly interesting, EVEN if its another 'character facing left'

Framing is hard to talk about without visual examples, im sorry but I dont have quite the time to pull out images, but if you look up composition tutorials and the rule of thirds, as well as common camera angles used in films, you can probably put two and two together on how to use it for characters (most of the tutorials out there are for backgrounds)

And as far as body language goes, that's also a big one. People (and animals) all have intrinsic body language we perform and understand subconsciously, so if you take that into account for poses it can make them a lot more interesting and meaningful

Hunched shoulders, stiff shoulders, letting your arms drop completely, all three of those poses are very very different. Its like, that thing a lot of tutorials do like "the position of your eyebrows conveys emotion!!!" but with your whole body. Leg position, arm position, the way the spine is set, the character is facing left yes but what if hes also grabbing his own arm in discomfort, and looking AWAY to the right, despite facing the other direction? That tells a whole other story

It really comes down to "okay, ive got this character. how do they interact with whats around them (even if it is not depicted!!!), and how would they be perceived this way?"

I know this probably feels like a lot, but it eventually gets really simple since, for the most part, body language is something more or less universal (even if some individuals are unique!) so its easy to get the hang of when you get the ball rolling!

I hope this helps a little bit!

#ask #anon #advice #if i could find proper image examples i would but i literally dont know where to start :') im sorry!! #i still hope this helps and paints a vivid enough picture in your mind that you know what i mean!! #if u have any more questions about this feel free to send them in and i will do my best

literally sometimes my brain won’t work right when I am under stress or anxiety or just riding waves of turmoil but it still keeps going through the motions of working—grinding, whirring, spinning, turning etc etc etc. but all unproductively—and so I have to take my brain and put it on ice like “you CANNOT use this right now Maria it is not working right” and then go do other things and it has been the hardest thing in the world for me to learn but also one of the most important lessons from this season I think. just to haul myself out of the pit of my own thinking and go look at the sky or some grass.

#I think of it in terms of putting it on ice/giving it to Our Lady #because the thing is!!! and I know how self-aggrandizing this sounds but. I’m very smart #like with my BRAIN #the gift is thinking. it’s analyzing #but when for other reasons I am under physical emotional mental spiritual stress #that just makes my gift of thinking worse #and it betrays me #and it paints the most vivid pictures and scenarios and stories #and there is this thread of truth trying to push its way through because I’ve really honed my mind to look for the truth #but it’s trying to operate in the dark and it CANNOT do it #and so it’s like. I just have to disengage from a problem #from trying to figure it out #I have to say to myself ‘your brain isn’t working right now. set it down and go do something else’ #and just wait and trust #and because I have intense anxiety it makes me want to SCREAM to have to do that #it feels wrong and evil to set the problem down in any way #to not try to wrestle my way to an answer #but I just keep hitting so many dead ends in my mind that it has forced itself on my consciousness (finally) #that the smart thing to do is to not try to analyze right now #I need to surrender and get my bearings again and rest and heal #and then try to tackle the intellectual problem #these are mostly about internal spiritual battles I’ve been facing I know it sounds all vague #anyway life is crazy. my brain is a little broken. I cannot think myself out of …. well anything #it’s time to lean on other things #including the act of trust and a trust fall and setting down a tangled problem at the feet of Our Lady #and saying ‘here it’s yours’ #and it’s so hard because of course I sneak back in a second later and try to start untangling it again #like the naughty little kid I am #but that’s just part of the struggle. to KEEP not engaging. because I SUSPECT (underneath my fear) that if I leave it alone it will melt #and resolve into a dew of its own accord. things are like that. life is simple you know? let be. ANYWAY.

process for my hasumi birthday art! it was a lot of work but im proud of myself for getting it out in time! its not perfect but im mostly really happy with it

#not a proper promo for my art or anything since i did that on twitter and don’t have a proper place on tumblr for my art and design yet #but I should probably set something up #hasumi nagatomi #the twitter post has the proper stuff not just the process #she was originally meant to be in sweet soft tones but I changed my mind so it felt more like a concert picture #cannot resist sparkles #I wanted it to feel really vivid #drawing the cheesecake was so fun it turned out so well #I really wanted to keep the peplum on the top but no matter how I drew the lineart it didn’t work right #sadge #but I found a way around it #designing original outfits for art is the way to go it’s so rewarding #10/10 would wear #I wanted to edit this onto a deresute template but couldn’t find the right one #deresute #idolmaster cinderella girls

behind the sea alternate version you will always be special to me

#i said this to my friends earlier but #it brings about such a vivid picture in my mind #that version so distinctively feels like a lazy summer afternoon in the best way possible #it's like i am actually just sat with ryan ross enjoying the summer while he plays the guitar #it's so soothing in a way that not many songs can make me feel #faust talks

I have a fun question for you - how/when does Steve ask Tony to move in with him in Just For Now once he realises most of Tony’s clothes has migrated to his closet? 🥰

oooh I think it's a very simple thing. steve's putting away laundry and half of it is tony's. he puts those things in the right side of the closet and his own on the left, and he doesn't remember when it started but it's a natural thing now. it's muscle memory and he doesn't have to think to do it, but the closet is getting a little overstuffed so he's thinking of going through their things together to donate old stuff, and maybe they've have to do that over the weekend and clean out the dresser too, and then steve realizes that he's fully thinking of everything as theirs. their closet and their bedroom in their apartment.

and when he's done with the laundry, tony's in their kitchen with music playing from their record collection (and steve realizes that somewhere along the line, in all the times tony brought one over one of his own for steve to hear that he thought he'd like, those blended together, too), and steve wants to ask him right then. because he's wearing steve's shirt despite how many of his own are here and he's drinking from a mug steve bought ages ago and he smells like the body wash and shampoo in their shower.

"when's the last time you went home?" steve asks, and tony's already smiling from just the sound of his voice, but it only grows when he replies, "i'm home right now, aren't i?"

#i swear i meant to answer this like a normal person #but the mental picture was vivid! #and also i'm slowly losing my mind on this airplane back from my vacation anyway #answered asks
