#the art is beautiful the colors are gorgeous and the expressions and poses are so natural and fluid

Dear Callum, I love you. First and foremost, I want you to know that. Because when you read this, you will know that I lied to you. And I’m sorry. I think Lujanne was right that we make illusions with our words to protect those we love. But when the illusion fades, nothing takes away the pain. I’m sorry. I made the illusion because I knew you wouldn’t have accepted the truth. You would have come with me. And I can’t have that. I can’t risk losing anyone again.

#the dragon prince #tdp #tdp fic #rayllum #rayla #callum #harrow #viren #aaravos #claudia #this is an alternate imagining of Rayla's letter to Callum and the events following Through the Moon #where Callum immediately goes after her seeking to reunite #okay i'm trying not to say anything about season 4 in public because i don't have the time/energy to get into internet debates #all i'm going to say is that i really REALLY love Through the Moon #the art is beautiful the colors are gorgeous and the expressions and poses are so natural and fluid #i read it close to when it came out and it felt to me like an actual TDP episode (complete with cliffhanger) #all the dialogue was so in-character i heard it in the characters' voices and the scenes and concepts felt very fitting for the world #i love the phoenix rebirth ceremony. the colors of the lake at night were gorgeous it was beautiful #the ending felt to me like an obvious setup for rayla to get into some kind of exciting and adventurous peril and callum to help her out #and then they talk and learn that actually lying isn't such a great idea after all and they continue together #this was VERY HEAVILY telegraphed. the 'white lies' line is often repeated together with a character saying 'i'm not sure lying is right' #it seemed OBVIOUS to me that callum was going to find rayla a few days later and this would be resolved strengthening their bond further #Through the Moon got me hyped for season 4 and i was fully thinking it would open with rayla in the midst of some kind of exciting danger #then the info about the timeskip came out and it was like wait what but i still thought it'd be resolved in some way... #it was set up PERFECTLY to resolve the conflict and then they didn't deliver that resolution #and the fact that people are now calling through the moon a mistake hurts my heart (i'm not even invested in rayllum but its a great comic!) #so anyway i wrote down how i had imagined it might continue lol (but the writers are free to tell the story they want to tell) #i don't want to compete or try to compare with canon but just have fun imagining an alternate outcome!

[lotus-pear]

with that, without further ado, let me announce our winners...

FIRST PLACE: @latapadraws

I WAS ABSOLUTEY BLOWN AWAY BY NOT ONLY THE COMPOSITION BUT THE LIGHTING OF THIS PIECE. REALLY. MY JAW IS STILL ON THE FLOOR LOOKING AT IT. the warm golden and red glow like evening rays of sun is so gorgeous not to mention dazai's musing expression. hes soo beautiful in your style op he looks like he was carved from marble. so elegant and sharp.

SECOND PLACE: @thornedarrow, specifically @velaversal

bea oh my god i still get heart eyes whenever i see this. the fuchsia is so gorgeous it looks like whorls of fire and the marble effect of the background is so ethereal. the color palette and rendering in general just astounds me, i feel like i'm on another plane of existence looking at this.

THIRD PLACE: @kokoasci

koko!!!!! i'm always enamored by translucent feel of your pieces and it always looks like rose-tinted glass, i always want to break off a piece and let it melt on my tongue bc it looks so sweet and sugary. said this in the tags but the background also was incredible and dazai kind of reminded me of the mad hatter!! the coy expression, the dramatic pose, the whimsical pastel color palette, the tea spilling from the porcelain cups...100/10 for mood and storytelling

FOURTH PLACE: @sableeira

SABLEEEE OH MY GOD......LIKE WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN.......THIS WAS SUCH AN OUT OF BOX WAY TO LOOK AT THE OG PIECE.....AN ENTHRALLING INTERPRETATION. dazai being haunted by his former self, conveyed through the earthy color palette and dramatic lighting that ties the entire piece together. literally was blown away by how unique this entry was, absolutey incredible

FIFTH PLACE: @shrimpkini

shrimp i'm being so honest rn i want this as a poster and i want it hung on my wall bc my heart still stops every time i look at it. the hard light that casts dazai's entire face into shadow which highlights the red of his eye makes me rattle the bars of my cage every single time, not to mention the rimlight on his entire frame basking the piece is an eerie glow. phenomenal play of lighting. i'm swept off my feet.

#my sincerest aplogiest that this is so late i think everyone should be allowed to throw eggs at me #so glad that only one of the contestants is my irls so i don't get jumped next time i leave the house #anyway thank you so much again to everyone who participated!! it truly means a lot #and huge congrats to the winners you guys deserve it!!!!!!!‼️‼️ #lotuspear5kdtiys

[adobe-outdesign]

I see all your neopet posts and reblogs, so how a neopet review? What is your favorite neopet design and why?

Gotta go with the Xweetok for this one. I've always loved this design ever since it came out—it's like the perfect blend of cute and elegant at the same time.

Xweetoks are vaguely chipmunk-esq with the stripes and general head shape, but the actual body anatomy is more like a fox than any kind of rodent. The end result is something that feels like it could be a real animal, even if it isn't.

And speaking of stripes, the use of color on these guys is also particularly good. They have these really pretty thick black lines running from their heads all the way down to their tails, with color often (though not always) constrained to the stripe and the mane. For example, in the basic colors shown above, brown is used as the base with bright pops of color elsewhere, rather than the entire Neopet being a single color.

In addition to the colors being pretty, the lines also accent the body shape and give it a great sense of movement. This is especially noticeable in their old circle pose, where you get this really nice curved body shape due to them sitting backwards.

It's also worth noting that Xweetoks are one of the only Neopet species to have open eyes that don't have human-like corneas or irises but are also more than just black dots. The deep blacks of their eyes really help to accent the black stripes on their bodies, while the color in the middle helps to pop whatever secondary color is used.

Thankfully, Xweetoks also fared pretty well from customization; the only major change is them now having one paw raised up to hold items (which doesn't look great, but it's not like the fists look good on any Neopet) and slightly different front leg anatomy. Some changes, such as removing the weird thin line above the eye and making the mane thicker, are actually improvements. I do wish it kept the highlight on the mane like it did on the head, but otherwise, Xweetoks look just as good now as they did before if you can get over the fist.

(Also, Xweetoks are one of the only species where female pets look better than males, due to the default pre-customization design being taken as the female design for a change.)

Favorite colours:

Faerie: Faerie Xwees have always been absolutely gorgeous. The light brown base combined with teal and dark brown is beautiful, and the shape of the brown markings accents the body wonderfully. I also love the style of the wings and how the antennae on the head run directly off the stripes, the shape of which are matched by the first set of wings. Unconverted faerie Xwees are super dynamic, but the converted ones still look quite nice if you want to be able to customize them.

Mutant: What a fantastically sleazy design. Taking what's basically a chipmunk of sorts and making the mutant version a rat is a fantastic concept, complete with buck teeth and a naked tail. The expression is also fantastic (slightly more so in the unconverted art, but the converted still looks pretty good).

Pirate: Unfortunately the UC version of this pet isn't available any more as of the time of writing, but even the converted design is nice, with a nice dull grayish-blue base and some nice red and gold accents that really pop. The old art really went hard though, with the mane basically acting as a beard and the face having a different, tougher expression. I particularly love the ponytail at the back of the mane.

BONUS: I also have to give a shoutout to the fire Xwee, because I have one. :) The fire mane and stripes against the black base works beautiful; definitely one of the all-time best fire pets.

[cowardlykrow]

Gah, all this shout out stuff I'm seeing for my artist mutuals is so cute and deserved so lemme also do it cuz i love them 😔✨💛💛💛 [I actually have SOO many people i love and adore its ridiculous, but i'll keep this "short" by shouting out the very small circle I followed when i first started to make fanart 👉👈]

And by "Short" i mean im gonna add a cut cuz i never shut up :3c @booigi-boi ~the~ #1 Ted spankofski artist [no room for argument, this is just factual.] The way they draw face's and poses, and hair, and clothes, and joey in general is just absolutely incredible!!!! [The moment I saw her art I was just awestruck, and so ridiculously inspired to start drawing again that it's ended up with me right here now... so if you hate me blame her /J] She just has such beautiful line-work and an ability to create such expressive fun pieces, along with having such a talent of using minimal shading and yet making every art piece look totally decked out. Just!!! its literally all so beautiful. incredible. amazing. [Imagine this goes on for way too long and its incredibly obnoxious.] 🐐💛✨ [She's also just a very neat person in general]

@ricky-mortis [inhumane noises of affection✨💛✨] How do I even start? Their art style isn't only everything to me, but it also just has so much character and personality in it. I love the bold line work they often use, along with their coloring and just gah! everything made by this person makes me so happy every time it pops on my dash, i feel like it has to be impossible not to fall in love with their work! [Also have you seeen how they draw curt mega and all of his characters? god they are so brilliant and fantastic]

@szollibisz/szollibisz2 They have the kind of art that you look at and just can't help but let out a really dreamy sigh tbh✨💛. To me, a majority of their artwork comes off so warm and... nostalgic?[Granted it is probably because of the beautiful use of warm colors and also the time period that comes with Curtwen mostly... but still.] And just, i dunno man. i just really fricken adore this persons art. I remember one of my first thoughts being how much it made me think of those really beautiful short-film animations, usually silent except for some gorgeous instrumental soundtrack in the background... and, just, wow... anyway ~

[Does any of this make sense??? probably not...]

@its-short-for-jackalope this person is SO passionate! Their support towards the things they love, such as tinlightment and Pulp musicals, is everything. I also absolutely love the way their art manages to have this beautiful yet adorable style all while managing to capture the resemblance to the actors they are referencing perfectly! From their simplest drawings to their bigger pieces, i think they are all absolutely wonderful~ These people are just so crazy talented and i appreciate them very much 😔

#i am literally SO normal about all of these people #Like i promise #so normal #There is so many more people but if i even try to go on it might as well be the Next “Do you like the color of the sky” post #| #Anyway i sometimes feel bad that i stick to being only an art account and don't reblog- because i know likes mean next to nothing on tumblr #but just know every Like from me is the equivalent of me dropping an ocean of waaay to much affection on top of you and also me screaming #//not art? gross #but SUPER gross this time cuz its dripping with cheese and cringe and too much nonsensical affection

[asterclaw]

WOWOWO THE DTIYS RESULTS!!!

Oooof, my DTIYS is over and it's time for the hardest part - choosing winners (istg, that was really hard lmao-) Thank you sm, everyone who participated!!! You might not realize how happy I am that ppl reblogged and participated!!! All of the entries were beautiful, honestly, I'm p sure a lot of ppl might disagree with me and the works I chose as winners because it was honestly not about the technic or how good the art was but my own taste and vision. Love y'all, you're the best nevertheless <3

unto the winners we shall move on, amirite now

THIRD PLACE!

@aeliem

holy hell do I love this work- the colors, the shading... And Night's expression. This work genuinely makes me soso happy. Oh, and I love the way fire is drawn.

Prize: a colored and shaded piece with a background (1 character)

SECOND PLACE(S)!!

@calciumdreams

The sketchy tentacles- Yes. The atmosphere and the dreaminess (how ironic) of this work is just incredible. The shading, the background, it's all just... sheer beauty.

aaaand-

@ksopaz

I just... couldn't choose. I love both works so much. Honestly, the rating would change depending on my mood. This work though... It feels like a book illustration? Like something you would see in a fairytale... I love its texture, its colors, the pose, the shades, the everything. Brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.

Prize: a colored and shaded piece with a background (up to 2 characters)

AND THE FIRST SPOT ON THE LIST GOES TO...

@faerein29

holy shit. Do I really have to comment on it? I'm p sure everyone can see everything for themselves. And, dare I say, I think I wouldn't able to describe this work. The only word that comes to my mind is "powerful". And, in a way, I think it is indeed the best way to describe this picture.

Prize: a colored and shaded piece with a background (up to 3 characters)

Wellwellwell, that is it then! Thanks everyone yet again! Those who reblogged, liked, subscribed and participated! Here are the links to all the other submissions (they all are gorgeous!):

WEEK 2 MASTERLIST

Second and final week of this year's fest is done! Here is our week 1 masterlist if you still need to catch up.

It brought us photoshoots and murder mysteries, Hogwarts professors after hours, stableboys in summer courts, and friends who are there for you in the toughest of times.

Dig in and catch up with all the lovely creations before our guessing game starts this Sunday!

An anon masterlist of all the works will be posted on Sunday too, with reveals happening on August 20th.

🎨 Art

Joy Exposed

(Fleur Delacour/Ginny Weasley, G, Digital art)

Ginny and Fleur give an interview for Daily Prophet’s new Weekend Magazine and spend hours doing an accompanying photoshoot. When it comes to approving the selection of photos for print, they unanimously choose the candid one taken on their break, rather than all the styled and posed images.

nocturn says about this: THIS IS GORGEOUS!! I adore their expressions, the sneakers, that awesome headline, and all of the fun colors! citrusses says about this: Oh my god this is BEAUTIFUL!

Monday Murder Club

(Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, Lavender Brown/Padma Patil, T, Digital art) The members of a crime-solving club find love and friendship amidst the blood.

nv-md says about this: Such a cool idea, and I adore the couples you’ve chosen and their poses together. Slowly_learning says about this: Extra mention for the comic style in the second chapter, super super cute!!

The Professor's Passion

(Narcissa Black Malfoy/Hermione Granger, G, Digital art) Hermione is a professor and Gryffindor head of house. She loves her job... until Narcissa Malfoy is hired on the school's faculty, and is now head of Slytherin. God, that woman is insufferable. Hermione despises her so much she can hardly think about anything else. (She must hate her... that's why she always feels so hot and bothered when she's around, right? And does she have to be so damn beautiful?)

wolfpants says about this: You've really captured the spirit of the fest with this - so passionate and heated! Summer says about this: The colors of their dresses are so vibrant and I love the atmosphere you created!

🎵 Podfic

Masks Off

(Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy, Teen, 3h 15 min)

Draco had followed his parents to this Caribbean island as a matter of course, even though no one had told him what they were doing here or why his father’s ships were frequently attacked by masked pirates. And, honestly, Draco’d had no intention of actually finding out either.

Sylvie says about this: That was a lot of fun. I love your voice! zippysuffix says about this: This was so good! I love how you brought the story to life.

🖋 Fic

Nature pricks them on to ramp and rage

(Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, E, 21k) Lord Draco Malfoy may be a young man spending time in Dumbledore’s summer court, but that does not mean he needs to succumb to its licentious frivolity. He carries the burden of his lineage, the shadow of rumours, and the dignity of his betrothal to a good match. He is certainly not fool enough to be distracted by the dark curls and ready grin of the court’s stableboy, who seems to have taken up with every courtier who looks his way.

RaenyDay says about this: I am thoroughly enjoying this fic! The banter between Draco, Blaise, and Pansy cracked me up. milkandhoney says about this: The worldbuilding was top tier 👌

Love Me Meow

(Arabella Fig/Minerva McGonagall, E, 2.5k) After the students leave for the summer, Headmaster McGonagall and the new Muggle Studies professor have a chance and sensuous encounter at the beach.

acari says about this: Arabella is such a saucy minx. That was very fun. Anon says about this: Love the summer vibes!

The Real Thing

(Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy, M, 5k) Harry only means to cheer Draco up after a terrible breakup. He doesn't mean to fall in love.

Bubblegumhead says about this: This story made me feel so very warm, content and over flowing with such emotions. Basicallyahedgehog says about this: So soft and sweet and gorgeous.

[skillzissue]

Hey is it just me or do you also get caught off guard-

-Thinking about there’s so much beautiful art in world. Like I complain about having a inconsistent art style, but honestly I’ve been thinking -

I wish that my art style (if I even have one smh) never changes from its malleable nature.

Bc I look at different artists and see how unique their shape theory is, the way the characters seem so alive and vibrant and easy to look at- I love those kinds of art styles. I love drawing with wide, crazy exaggerated expressions and poses that grab people’s attention. I want to draw like that. And it’s beautiful.

And then I look at different artists and basically cry about how soft their rendering is, how their characters look like their melting in their sun burst environments, with so many minor details and just little things that add up. It’s so, so pretty and soft and makes you feel gooey inside and when I look at it all I can think about how amazingly gorgeous it is. I want to draw like that. And it’s beautiful.

But of course, it doesn’t end there. Bc then I look at artists that depict their world through understanding the beauty in the mundane, how they paint the sky, sub ways, bike rides and parks and stores and everything in between. Their lineless styles telling a story with vibrant colors, small touches and grand lighting, displaying the softness of life through people just. Experiencing it. I want to do that. And it’s beautiful.

And there’s more. There’s always more- I could literally go on about this for hours but I think you get the point. Everyone has this unique style that sticks out and really pronounces who they are as a person, and as much as I want to have such a special way of displaying how I see the world, something that you look at and just say “yeah, that’s Skillz,”

I just. I honestly wouldn’t know what to do you know? I want to do all of these things at once. I want to study these different artists and interpret them in my own ways, make those strong emotional expressions and those soft spoken moments and those wide open backgrounds.

But I can’t do it all. There’s a reason why each person has their own style. Can I do it all? Can I? Is there enough time in the world? I have so many thoughts and sometimes I need the right brush to speak them.

PLEASE I needed to have 15 fucking art styles yesterday ONG 😭😭🙏

…

Just me?

#guys I’m such a thinker today for some reason 💀💀 #if you managed to read it all I love you and I’m giving you forehead kisses #Also hi good morning august :) #skillzwontshutupmoment #txt post #art is beautiful #blah blah ramblings

HD Sudsfest: Week Four

We've sadly reached the final week of this year's Sudsfest. We're excited to share a full list of all the works published in the coming weeks, but for now, here are week four's treats. If you haven't yet indulged, what are you waiting for?

[FIC] Steamy Encounters by @drwhoisginnyholmes { E, 2.3k }

Draco wanted to try something new and Harry being shameless when it comes to Draco, heartily agreed. Cue sex in a hot tub. Pissing off Blaise was just an added bonus.

❤️ "Mmmmmmm how sexy and very 🔥🔥🔥" —lijahlover

❤️ "This was hot and sexy!!! I loved Harry taking Draco apart and how much Draco enjoyed the exhibitionism. Fantastic work!!!" —nv-md

[ART] his love, it comforts me by @veelawings { M, Digital Art }

After a long, hard day's work, Harry stumbles home and into the arms of his husband.

❤️ "This may sound unhinged but literally my brain started making goose honking noises about this, which is a bit strange because it’s the opposite of this vibe which is so soft and ethereal and sweet and not goose-like at all." —phdmama

❤️ "oh this is so soft and comforting! The overhead shot of Harry in the bath is particularly lovely 💖 thanks for sharing!!" —innerlilith

[FIC] The Strange Case of Draco Malfoy’s Underwear by @dracopetal { T, 12k }

Harry spies something strange in the showers after Draco Malfoy joins his professional Quidditch team, and it sends him spiralling down a familiar path of obsession.

And this time, Malfoy’s hot.

❤️ "Oh my gosh! I loved this! It was just so cute. Harry is so dumb. 😂 How dare he not know every single thing about Draco." —podsgirl

❤️ "aaaaaaa i love this so much" —pitzer

[FIC] the crack in the ceiling by @brightluminae { M, 1k }

Draco's showers are always quick, efficient. Harry listens to them from the other room.

❤️ "Argh. Come on Harry! Be brave! So heart-breaking 💙" —blueheart_v

❤️ "oh wow, this was heartbreaking 😭 ... But really, the way Harry stares at the crack in the ceiling, his dissociation, the strength of his pining—beautiful!" —innerlilith

[FIC] Of Double Trouble and Bubble Baths by @drakaina101 { E, 26k }

Having not seen Draco for ten long years, it seemed like a great idea to offer to cat-sit for him. Harry could never have known what it would lead to, or that one of the hairless demons would be determined to kill him.

❤️ "Oh oh oh oh….. this is fantastic! Hairless cats seem like a very Draco thing lol, and the way you changed years was lovely, it felt very natural and flowing" —big_biscuit

❤️ "I loved this!! Hairless cats are perfect for Draco, omg, and Harry's relationship with them was just *chef's kiss*... Just so lovely and fun with fantastic visuals and humor. ❤️" —oflights

[ART] Lover’s Falls by @slytherco { E, Digital Art }

During a covert romantic getaway, Harry and Draco find their own slice of paradise on the other side of the world.

❤️ "absolutely gorgeous!!!!! the poses look so fluid and natural, the rendering of their hair is especially beautiful, the complex background and bright colors are joyful, and the idea to have multiple scenes in one cohesive background is inspired! i adore this piece!!!" —okaysky

❤️ "Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous! The linework, the colors, the steam! I love the arch of Draco's back and Harry's expression. This is so sexy" —reliand

[FIC + ART] in his hands by @babooshkart & @softlystarstruck { E, Digital Art, 3k }

Harry gives Draco the gift of letting go.

❤️ "Oh this is so soft and gorgeous!! I love how tender they are, in both fic and art. The absolute trust Draco has in Harry, and Harry’s unwavering care. And that art, holy fuck boo!!" —basicallyahedgehog

❤️ "Omg I love it when you two work together and this was GORGEOUS! It was so tender and hot at the same time. The art took my breath away, and the story matched that soft take on bondage exploration. I loved all the pink: pink skin, pink rope marks, pink water." —lqtraintracks

[FIC] 100 Beats per Minute by @oknowkiss { E, 14k }

When Draco left the Magical World behind at nineteen, he didn't expect the cusp of thirty would find him comfortable and secure, with a stable life and a successful career as a sex columnist. Stable, that is, until he meets the subject of his newest column -- a stranger calling himself James, who has dragged them both to Ibiza on a sex quest of epic proportions -- and everything Draco ever knew turns upside down all over again.

❤️ "I have slaked my thirst, I have perished, I refuse to reread a single word of this comment to keep its integrity though I'm sure I sound deranged 😘" —skeptique

❤️ "i'm eating thanksgiving leftovers as i read this and i am very thankful for you. thank you for your consistently incredible takes on these stupid slutty idiots. also, for you consistently sending me into fits of screaming laughter with a single line..." —geesenoises

[FIC] Paragraph Twelve, Clause Four by InnerLilith { E, 15k }

Harry loves nothing more than a nice, leisurely wank in the bath. He thinks Draco can’t hear him. Draco can hear him.

❤️ "THIS WAS SO GOOD AHHHHH!!! The setup, the tension, the exquisite writing, HOT DAMN. Loved it!" —mx_maneater

❤️ "oh my GOD LILITH. i love this SO MUCH!!!!! i actually had to take several breaks just to stare at the ceiling and try not to scream. the alternating POV is absolutely genius. the way you unfolded the entire story through their perceptions of the same circumstances… brilliant!" —oknowkiss

Pikmin Fandom Monthly: February 2023

Welcome to the first edition of Pikmin Fandom Monthly! This is just a little monthly series I'd like to do where on the first day of each month, I share neat fan projects from the pikmin fandom made in the previous month! For this I will be focusing on creative projects (so no analysis or theories, at least for now). For this first edition, all entries will be ones that I have found and enjoyed but in the future I hope to have some that were recommended to me as well! (Most of these entries are from Tumblr as a result, oops.) No images or snippets will be posted to these: all entries will be links to where the artists have posted the original work!

Please feel free to leave suggestions in the comments about how to handle this series in the future and of what March 2023 works should be included in the next edition! Any creative pikmin fan work is welcome, so long as it was made during this March.

This will also be cross-posted to Pikmin Park!

With all that out of the way, here are our categories!

Multi-Page Fan Comics and Visual Ask Blogs

We only have one of these for this month, that being Pikmin x Weirdcore - a visual ask blog over on Tumblr! It's fairly surreal, but it's been a lot of fun thus far! Olimar, Louie, and the Koppaites have all crashed on PNF-404 (again) and have been separated (again). This time, however, it seems a beast that is other-worldly even to PNF-404 is after them now. Quick warning, the artist has stated that there will be violence, glitchy imagery, and body horror in this one!

Fan Art and One Page Comics

Aka the largest collection I've gathered this month!

Firstly is Professor Pikton by Buttery Cuties! A purple pikmin dressed up like Professor Layton to celebrate the upcoming games in both franchises, how cute!

Corromon drew this Olimin, which simply looks great! Poor Olimar certainly needs a hug, though.

Higgy also drew Olimar - two Olimars, in fact! The sketchy style and expressions are very pleasing to look at, and I adore his little boots.

Next up, Alph (rightfully) worries over Louie's eating habits in this short comic by Cirtus. The style closely resembles how the characters look in-game, which is a very nice cherry on top of how sweet and charming this two-panel comic is.

SparrowOvO drew this amazing art of a baby snagret sitting with a very spooked ice pikmin. I don't even know where to start with this one - the colors, lighting, texturing, and expressions are all just so good. This may easily be my favorite out of this month's fan art!

Zombunny drew three of our four new leaders with Oatchi! They're all so adorable, and this looks great (as for where our unnamed bald friend is, he is reportedly in jail for tax evasion, among other crimes. (For legal reasons, this is a joke.))

This next entry is apparently older art, but it wasn't posted until this February, so here's this really cool idea for a phosbat variant: the Beguiling Phosbat by vehemoth-phosbitch! This beautiful little beast can withstand sunlight and is based more so on the luna moth (and maybe the flying fox as well, but I may be wrong).

Louivi drew this gorgeous piece simply captioned as Smokey Progg. The colors, the textures, it's all so good an so very haunting. Perfect for the little horror that is the smokey progg in game!

And last but certainly not least is the only piece of fan art that didn't come from Tumblr: this beautiful art of all four of our new leaders hanging out, made by Porinu! They all look adorable, each with their own pose! I particularly like how our unnamed pink friend looks - she seems so curious and even innocent to a degree.

Fanfiction and Written Ask Blogs

Once again, I only have one piece for a category. This time, it is Safe in A Father's Embrace written by PiperRose90. This story may be very short, but it is also very sweet! Olimar must make sure that Louie and Alph will be okay for the night - they are practically his sons now, after all!

Other Works

Firstly is this amazing little sculpture of a pyroclasmic slooch by Tete's DIY! This video shows their process for making the little sculpture from start to finish - including how they made the "fire" really glow!

Creative Sushi did this wonderful little cosplay of the Hocotate Freight Ship! It looks fantastic, and all of the little details really show how much love and effort went into the creation of this cosplay.

Kevin Fagaragan animated this adorable concept for a pikmin 4 ending - don't worry, there's no spoilers! Just overwhelming cuteness as the pikmin hang out and dance with Oatchi.

And to wrap all of this up is yet another animation! In Wooden Turtle's Do Not Pet the Baby Snagrets, not even Olimar can resist how adorable these new additions to the pikmin planet are! But, ah, it seems that leads him into a bit of trouble...

Thanks for sticking around until the end! I hope I get to do more of this in the future, I really want to be able to show off what the fanbase can do! Please, give any and all of the artists featured here a follow - and feel free to suggest works to be featured next month!

which one do YOU think is the worst. i already voted but i’m curious

I would like to start off by apologizing for how long this has taken me. I truly don't know what happened, but now that, months later, I'm back in image analysis brainspace we're gonna do our best to analyze all these images and answer this question. For reference, this ask is referring to this post of mine.

I'm gonna start with my favorite, which is this fantasy high poster. The title is really readable, large, and noticeable - which is great for advertising and for viewers to find the show. I appreciate how Brennan is leaning over the PCs, it's a cute pose and very much conveys that "I'm the DM" energy. I don't love how squished together all the PCs are, but the yellow light scribbles are a nice visual metaphor for a fictional world, and it's nice to see all the PCs in the promotion.

My second favorite is Tiny Heist. The descending height schtick is really cute, and we also get that fun DM-ergy from having only half of a giant Brennan. He also sort of feels like the one human in a muppet movie, which is a really cute vibe and compels me to watch. However his face is super washed out, the lighting from that photo was way too bright for him. I also really like the green slits, as they are a nice clean visual and the green color theme is pretty nice.

I don't hate D20 live either, but here is where I start getting a lot more nitpicky with the posters. Good things first - that title is really easy to read, and I like how the composition sort of mirrors the first Fantasy High poster. The prominence of Live highlights the unique live show element, which is a nice advertising move.

However, I really hate the entire right half of the poster. Brennan's got a real weird expression on his face - almost looks like he's playing Robert Moses or some sort of shitty businessman, which is not really applicable to this season that's a lot more about fantasy and mythical religion.

They've included all the cool new character art but completely covered it up by Brennan's giant body, and made that worse by surrounding him and Adaine's orb with light that makes it harder to see the art (I can barely see Gorgug's beautiful face...). This is especially frustrating when they have SO much free space on the left, and the totally squished right side.

Now we get to Escape from the Bloodkeep, which (and rightfully so) won the poll. I think from purely a design perspective it is absolutely the worst poster. The title is such a similar color to Brennan's shirt that it's very difficult to read, he's once again covering up a bunch of squished together character art, and there's the giant boring background of nothingness.

However, and I haven't watched Escape from the Bloodkeep so this is a lot of guessing on my part, it does feel like the right tone for the season. The red feels angry and villainous, Brennan feels like the right sort of Evil DM for this evil little world, and the expression is pretty fun. You may have noticed that this is only poster 4 of 5, and so this one is actually not my least favorite, but my second most, and this is why. The poster is pretty unappealing design, but it fits, and it prepares people for the season.

Finally, let's answer your question and say - I really do not like the Unsleeping City poster.

My design critiques follow some of the same design themes as before - Brennan is covering up key characters, the title is partially covered up by Brennan and less prominent than I feel it should be, and Brennan's once again been weirdly washed out. They also pretty obviously edited his shirt to be purple, which takes up so much space.

However, the thing I'm angriest about design-wise is that they have an absolutely GORGEOUS piece of art for the background and lettering for the title that is COVERED BY EVERYTHING ELSE! The colors used are incredible (the character art is great on its own but does not match), the stars and rendering are beautiful (which we can see some of but not what's below), and you can't see the upside down city! For a season called the Unsleeping City! Why can't we see the City!!!

I also personally feel like the vibe from all the characters and Brennan don't feel quite right for this season. All their poses feel very goofy comedy (a la Tiny Heist), but to me this season felt a lot darker and more human, especially compared to the earlier more comedic seasons. There was of course plenty of comedy this season, but I felt like some of those most notable things about it were all the mystical magic and tense human moments, which do not come across in this poster. I may be misremembering the season, but it just doesn't seem like it fits to me.

Tl;dr Unsleeping city is my least favorite even though Escape from the Bloodkeep is probably a worse design - because they covered up some cool art and it doesn't feel like it fits the season. An addendum: I have procrastinated this for so long for no good reason. I tried to start this a long long time ago and had no such luck. I really enjoyed writing all this and don't want to just delete it, so I'll leave my half finished bullshit under the cut. It's mostly just a lot of self-indulgent attempts at analysis. Read it if you want, this is mostly here for me.

Ok ok. First off apologies for how long this has taken to post I was inflicted by the horrors (first finals and then just some regular old mental blocks). But oh BOY do I have opinions on this !!!!! Buckle in everyone cause I'm gonna make this post MUCH longer than it needs to be!

So firstly this ask is referring to this post of mine, in which I critique some old dimension 20 promotional posters, and do a poll for which one is the worst. Escape from the Bloodkeep won, which is incredibly fair it's absolutely horrible and second worst in my opinion, however I do not think it's the worst. I've decided to drag this out as long as possible,

Chapter 1: What makes a promo image good?

I know I just decided to split this post up with Chapter titles but we're gonna also split up this section, since I think there's two separate parts of what makes a promo image good - delineated by the two words 'promo' and 'image'.

For the 'promo' part to be good the season needs to be accurately advertised. We need to be able to get the vibe of the season, to feel the kind of energy and appeal it's going to have, and we want to highlight some of the important parts of it. Take the Ravening War promo picture - it's dark and moody and dramatic. Then we've got Matt front and center, of course since he's the DM but also since his presence is a huge marketing point - he's even allowed to cover up the title! The newest DnDrag poster is also (I assume, since it's not out yet) pretty good at this. It's full of bright pink and strong colors and their poses really get across that fab drag aesthetic. They've also put the drag queens ahead of Brennan, since their presence is the big selling point of the season, and highlighted the fun play-on-words title.

Next, for the 'image' part to be good, it should look visually appealing. There should be a nice layout and composition - things that are more relevant should be made prominent and put center or at one of the thirds, and elements should work well together. Also, if there is text, the colors should be chosen so that it is readable, especially important text. The Seven is my favorite example of this. They've got all the silhouettes nicely laid out to form that curve shape.There's some extra free space around the edges which are less important, while the center has the larger characters and the title so that it's more filled in. All the silhouettes have distinct shapes which makes it easy to tell who is who and pull apart the elements. The text is INCREDIBLY easy to read, with the bright pink outline on Seven creating the color contrast that it's important for readability (I'm a bit of a nerd about color contrast and the WCAG guidelines), and that combined with the huge font really highlights that word and its prominence. The weapon through Seven provides a nice thematic touch, and adds to that visual prominence.

Chapter 2: The Uncanny

#dimension 20

[danydarkly]

Hi! I just wanted to say, thank you so much for making the Red & Wolf comic. I just found it by accident and read through the whole thing in one night, I am seriously loving it so far. I'm autistic and I've always had a strong interest in wolves, specifically Little Red Riding Hood versions of wolves, and always wanted to read a story about the wolf having a sort of redemption or it being more than just "big bad wolf is evil and wants to eat the girl". There's hardly any content for me to dive into in regards of even just the fairytale itself, most stories are very gruesome, the short films online are incredibly dark and uncomfortable since those are the adaptations of the original grimm telling, or all of the red riding hood movies are horror films instead of fairytale adaptations. Or some sort of like... idk love triangle thing where it's all modernized or something for televesion where Red is wearing jeans and the Wolf isn't even a real wolf? But yours... this is like finding gold. I was hooked immediately and I couldn't stop reading.

Your story of Scarlett and Leikos... it's just so gorgeous, your art work has such clean lines and the way you draw eyes and hands especially is so beautiful. The design for Leikos' hair is my favorite!! And the panel you made where Scarlett is lying down on the grass/tree stump and she's blushing while Leikos is talking with her, oh my gosh, that's my favorite panel out of every chapter so far. Just... the vulnerability of these two growing closer, like... augh clutching my heart when Leikos is like "no don't cross the path you're gonna get hurt :(" and she's like "but I want to dance with you :)" like!!! she trusts him and he refuses to hurt her even when instincts kick in!! HIS BACKSTORY? BRO? I'M IN SHAMBLES?? Ugh your art is so GOOD and this STORY is so GOOD and I am just so thankful to be able to dive into a Wolf/Red story that has action, romance, suspense, all the good stuff. It's so perfect.

Thank you for working so so hard to make this comic. I'm an artist as well and I could never have the patience to upload one comic page, let alone several. Laying out panels is difficult and time consuming and not to mention you're shading and coloring the entire thing. Your poses are always fluid, never stiff, you have good perspective and composition, most ppl who make comics can easily just draw one single pose and one facial expression for 20 panels, but you've always had the expressions and body language shift and change and the camera view as well... and you gotta draw all those damn trees omfg. The flower meadow in the first chapter must have taken forever to draw too! Your hard work really shows in your art and I am so happy to have stumbled upon your comic. If you make any more merch for Red & Wolf on your Etsy, whether it's prints or charms or stickers or really anything, I would be more than willing to throw some money your way. Or if you open commissions as well someday, ahh, I love your stuff so much I would totally pay you to doodle Leikos hehe. Please have a wonderful day and take care! <3

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa

What a lovely message! Thank you so much, Anon! I really needed to read this today <3 I'm truly at a loss for words, like you basically complimented me on everything I'm mad-insecure about?? It's really nice, like maybe I really am too hard on myself?? Whenever I look back on my old panels (which I've been doing a lot lately since reformatting Red & Wolf for print), I always feel like I put way too much effort and kind of only see what I did wrong, but if you and others recognize the effort and like what I did - then maybe it wasn't a waste of time after all. That makes me feel way better about it, thank you :' ) Also, your favorite panel is one of my favorite panels too, where I felt "dang, I kind of nailed it here" - which is SUPER rare for me, haha. I should read this lovely message whenever the impostor syndrome kicks in, it really lifted my spirits <3

#and yeah drawing all those trees all the time and backgrounds in general is PAIN #and ill always regret painting every blade of grass in the early chapters lmao #but im glad my efforts are appreciated #anon #answered #totally radiating motivation now

Farewell to Hollywood U #4 : Being Together

Art by the always lovely and talented @vantaray

Characters: Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer (F!MC / OC) Book: Hollywood U (Hunt Date #05) Word Count: ~250 Rating/Warnings: General (all the fluff) Prompts: @choicesmonthlychallenge HWU ; @choicesaugustchallenge "You wear ___ well." ; @choicesficwriterscreations "I feel safe with you"

Synopsis: Hunt and Alex are taking the ferry to Catalina Island for their first official date.

[All Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer Masterlists] [HollywoodU]

"I can't believe we're here." Alex marveled, gazing across the open ocean, taking in the glowing fiery sunset painting the sky before them. 

"It is quite stunning." 

"It is," she nodded in agreement, turning into his arms. "But I meant this—us—you and me."  

He tucked the loose strands of her hair fluttering in the breeze behind her ear. "This is the beginning of many more." 

"I like the sound of that!" She sighed contentedly before continuing. "Even though so much is at stake, I feel safe with you. Right now, here in your arms, I feel safe, like nothing can harm us." Her smile widened as she met his gaze. 

"What is it?"

"Nothing."

His right brow arched inquisitively. "With you, it's always something."

She pressed a kiss to the corner of his jaw. "I was just thinking, you wear that smile well." 

Despite his best efforts to school his expression, the corner of his eyes wrinkled in reply as his lips remained turned upward. He wrapped his arms more snuggly around her. "I have this terrible feeling I'll have to get used to it."

"Is it really that bad?" She teased, resting her head on his shoulder as her arms snaked around him.

"Quite the contrary." He brushed a kiss on her temple, holding her close. 

The gentle waves lapped against the side of the ferry. The distant silhouette of the island crested on the horizon.

A comfortable silence fell between them. There would be time for talking later. Right now, this—just being together—was all they needed.

Can I just say how much I adore this art?! The way he looks at her. The way her hair is blowing in the breeze. The colors of the sunset. All of it are so so gorgeous! @vantaray is the most talented and lovely. I can't thank them enough.

And just because I adore this art so much, I want to share the sketches for this art too because even though I chose this pose, the other two the artist came up with for my idea are too beautiful not to share. I would have commissioned them all if I could lol! But I'm so in love with the one I chose.

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed the drabble and the gorgeous art. Thank you for all the support. It means so much to me!

[childofaura]

have you done penekoR yet?

*heavy breathing*

I

LOVE

PenekoR's artwork.

Probably another one of my top favorite artists in FEH, and definitely considered one of the most skilled, seeing as they have a HUGE list of credits for characters they've drawn (though for some reason the website I'm using to look at the credits doesn't have Legendary Xander there, even though he is on the website under PenekoR?). Anyways, moving on.

Before I start talking about the things I love about PenekoR's artwork, all the good stuff and then the criticisms, I have to get one criticism out of the way just so y'all know I AM aware of it, and that is: PenekoR has issues drawing noses when they draw faces straight on:

I fully acknowledge that as a criticism because it does look funky, and I think it's something they could easily improve on, but for some reason it hasn't fully been addressed. Though I will say that Legendary Xander looks like they're finally trying a different approach, as they gave him nostrils and some lighting/shading:

But I'm including the fullbody portrait here because we're gonna talk about why PenekoR's artwork is so friggin' awesome. PenekoR has some AMAZING artwork in the multiple fields: expression, posework, anatomy, color, and detail. All can be seen here with Xander's stern face and this gorgeous armor design.

Seriously, look at the posework and expression for Yarne, Valter, and Catherine:

Everything checks out, nothing looks funky, Valbar's insane face is captured perfectly, and the babe Catherine looks confident and beautiful. Plus look at Yarne, he doesn't exactly have much going for him in terms of clothing or hair to give him motion, but PenekoR pulls it off by giving him his hunched forward pose with his arms stretched forward. He's leaping forward to attack.

And then there's the other thing: PenekoR draws gorgeous men AND gorgeous women.

Deen:

(Which, pardon me for a moment but PenekoR is like Sgt Johnson: They know what the ladies like)

And Sonya:

Which I also have to say that Sonya's art here is perfect, it shows exactly how sultry and assured she is as a character, something I kind of felt was missed with the Easter alt we had.

Now aside from the nose criticism, the only other criticism I can think of was Aversa's attack portrait:

It IS possible for women who are super flexible to twist like that, but that's like for gymnasts, and even showing it in artwork can look funky to the eye. But I understand what they're trying to go for, Aversa's a seductive temptress so you really wanna push that flirty angle she has. Still a little funky to look at, but it looks like from future artwork we've seen that they've tried to go for more of a plausible pose, like with Sonya:

... Seriously IS, why didn't we get Duo Sonya/Aversa?! Aversa would have fit WAYYYY better than Tharja! Could you imagine? Sonya's 25, Aversa's thought to be like... 27 or 28 years old, so Aversa doting on Sonya like Marla or Hestia would could have made for a great interaction! Now I'm just bitter >:(

Anyways, PenekoR's one of my favorite artists. I'm sure to most people, it's hard to get past the nose thing, so they'd see PenekoR as a 7/10. But to me, they've constantly put out such amazing work that's so pleasing to look at, so I personally rank them a 9/10. They're another artist I'd love to see draw Shura when he gets in the game. Or a Priam alt if they get the chance.

#Fire Emblem Heroes #FEH #PenekoR #ask game #Seriously though I don't know if PenekoR is a guy or a girl but one thing is for certain and that's that they give us hot men AND women #I remember seeing Saber's art for the first time and being thankful that they kept his barrel-chest #But that's what I love about their artwork is that it isn't completely ludicrous with every character they draw #Characters like Catherine or Echidna are treated with respect and don't have their clothes blown off #Same goes for the guys like Ares or Legendary Xander or Eldigan #It's only when they're given very obviously fan-service prompts like Easter Bruno or Hot Springs Ryoma #Or Resplendent Sonya #Then they're like 'Okay time to give people a reason to spend money on my units' #Although honestly given that Hatari Deen was a free Tempest Trials unit where I had no interest in the Hatari units otherwise was a blessin #*blessing dammit #Honestly PenekoR is what Sencha could be if Sencha tried to improve on drawing faces and kind of worked on poses

I highly suggest checking out all the links I put in this post, especially Swyndell's instagram!

So I was in a discord server for Characterhub and in it, Swyndell was offering to do a free doodle! I offered my character Charolette AKA Cherry since she's my baby!

For context here is Cherry made with a Picrew made by Scuffscotch

Isn't Che pretty? I love them so much! Well so did Swyndell :D

And Swyndell did the sweetest thing ever! He offered to color cher! Now I admittedly thought it was going to be like a doodle with colored pencil colorings right?

IMAGINE MY ABSOLUTE SURPRISE AND HAPPINESS WHEN I GET THIS MASTERPIECE!!!!

It's even shaded!!! They made her so pretty!!!

Like just lemme gush for a minute about every single thing I love about this!!!!

I love the pretty nails first and foremost! The color, the gloss, the shape EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM! Not to mention the lips??? So pretty! That lip gloss is just *Chefs Kiss*! Not to mention the eyes! Look at those gorgeous eye lashes! The hair has to be my favorite thing though honestly! Nono wait definitely the horns! I love how they made cher horns blend with her skin! And the faint freckles??? GORGEOUS!!!! And don't even get me started on the EARS!!!! I love the attention to detail with the shirt too and going the extra mile with the cherries!!!! And not only that but the posing and facial expression is EXACTLY how I'd imagine Cherry!!!

I highly suggest you go check out their insta!!! All his art is so pretty and I CANNOT suggest it enough!!!
