WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT COLIN ROBINSON SAYING THAT NANDOR HAS THE IQ OF A RUSSIAN TOILET?????

#Are we just not talking about this??? #Love the saga of calling nandor out on his lack of braincells #HOW IS THIS NOT TALKED ABOUT #It was my highlight #wwdits #what we do in the shadows #wwdits s5 spoilers #nandor the relentless #guillermo #nadja #laszlo #colin robinson

are we ever gonna see the full pfp pic 👀 pretty please 🥺?

for u, anon.. anything..

its an old doodle i did a few months ago that i was attempting to do some #crazy #effects on through lighting, but it didnt look very good. it was supposed to be her at her job, a rooftop bar, looking down at the city. i salvaged it at least! but one day i'll redraw it and hopefully get the vibe i was going for better ☝🏾

#askee #artkee #ka'meisha #traversion #it was supposed to be purple tinged. teal highlights and dark blue shadows. had refs n all. but it was all just rly overwhelming lookin..

having ocs without faceclaims is all fun and games until you draw the same portrait four times in 6 months cause you really can't get the face right (did get it right 4th try LOL)

#its also bc i kept deciding 'wow me more than a month ago sucked ass at painting i need to do better than her' #also i kept fuckin the skintone up and drawing him too light bc i used to go ham on the highlights #btw these were done in may - october - 2 same night of november lol #anyway always remember. if u fuck smthn up u can always just draw it again. nothing has to be final #u can just re-use a sketch. who's gonna stop u? god??? #semirealism #redemption arc (redraws) #original characters #oc #caleb mercer #spectres&shadows #my doods

i forgot i had wanted to draw this until i heard "i'll make you eat those words!!!" in the recap at the beginning of pal33... surprisingly fun honestly : )

#i think i did an ok job. i dont even go there(sonic) #what is the sonic/fatt fan overlap.i bet youre out there. come on #coriolis sunset #rosa art #did this take too much time.yeah but also im sick and have fuckall to do the next few days so whatever <3 #palisade #palisade spoilers #i guess but i think if you saw this w/ no context you would be fine. like. #fatt #i know its sonic that says ill make you eat those words. i just think shadow is cooler.so cori has highlights like him #the haircut isnt quite what i had in mind (looks too much like amy...) but i. wanted the little spike

[peachyfnaf]

the villains team up on rwags brought me sm joy that ive watched it twice so i just had to draw smthn for it :) (some alts under the cut)

these two need to be tucked into bed with a little forehead kiss and told to chill the fuck out

#this entire book these two are just so exhausted #they take care of each other but as a collective they are still a fucking disaster #my sweet loves #i want to hold them #please #also excuse the state of my highlighting as per #adsom #a darker shade of magic #a gathering of shadows #a conjuring of light #kell maresh #shades of magic #lila bard #delilah bard #kellila #ve schwab

Jhonen Vasquez makes a show designed around his own unique artsyle, which was notoriously difficult for animators to learn, and everyone praises it for the effort and creative ambition Jhonen and his team put toward realizing his artistic vision.

A woman makes two shows designed around her own unique artsyle, heavily inspired by Jhonen, and people constantly screech about how horrible she is for “making” people draw her wretched, “animator unfriendly” designs. Or even better, unironically proclaim it “cringe” for her to be clearly influenced by Invader Zim, not because they think Invader Zim itself is bad or cringe, but because liking it apparently is.

#i see this so often #like make it make sense #why would you invoke the name of a good show #to say another show is bad for reminding you of it #i will take a thousand zimitators over another fucking show that looks artistically indistinguishable from family guy #Invader Zim #Hazbin hotel #helluva boss #so much vivzie criticism boils down to #it's bad because it is unapologetically nostalgic for early 2000s era deviantart trends #like #i'm not even a furry #but if she wants to draw sparkledogs or whatever #it's her fucking show #if that doesn't spark as much joy for you #as it does for other people who like that sort of thing #maybe the show just isn't for you #also #claiming the character designs are too detailed and complicated #have you watched any anime ever #have you seen how many lines and how many shadows and highlights they put on just the hair

Where are they? What are they drinking? What is she saying? Why is he smiling? Is this a “No Cult AU”? If it is, why did I bother drawing all of John’s tattoos anyway?

I don’t know... I visualized this scene, drew it almost immediately, and it made me happy.

It still does :)

And I did it! One year later, I’m done posting all the “old” drawings I said I would post! :D

#I have more old(er) drawings to be honest #I’ll see if I ever feel like posting at least some of them one day #but first... the newer ones! #drawn in january 2023 #I tried something new for this one #first I painted the whole thing black #then I erased john’s shirt because I knew I wanted it to be the lightest part #then I duplicated that layer and erased their skin because I knew it was going to be the second lightest part #then I continued to move from lightest to darkest until there was nothing left to erase #I set the opacity of all the layers #made some adjustments #added shadows and highlights #finally I painted some blue and pink spots and played with the settings until I was happy with the result :) #also I really how their hands look here! #john seed x deputy #taylor rook #my deputy #is she even a deputy here? no idea #john seed #I probably drew his tattoos because to me john isn’t really john without them #far cry 5 #my art #fan art #traditional art #digital coloring #story: 'I don’t know I just felt like drawing this'

on todays edition of odyssey resources: a map. you will need one.

base from Emily Wilson’s translation, red lines indicate Odysseus’ route, grey indicates storms, white indicates wind

#posting this purely so i don’t lose it. the geography looks fucked up cus it is. no one knew what was happening back then #greek mythology #greek myth #the odyssey #odyssey #homer #odysseus #map #(i’ve highlighted ‘dawn’ just so ik where the sun is at what times so describing shadows makes sense!)

After staying up until 2:00am to finish Pyroclasm by @aceofintuition, I redrew my first piece of fanart for it!

Original under the cut!

#pokemon oras #pokemon archie #pokemon maxie #magma leader maxie #aqua leader archie #pyroclasm #damn its been a while hasn't it? #the blur tool was my best friend lmao #my lines were also super thick #i like to think ive improved somewhat #im pretty proud of the rendering of the red orb given that i just kinda slapped the highlights and shadows where ever they felt applicable #i actually put the omega symbol on an overlay because it made it feel more like an actual part of the prb rather than a sticker- #art trivia ig

before and after

#i did render kas's hair blonde and kind of merge them #and i rerendered his eyes #but idk how to show that in a before and afterlmao #just know i'm not like a wizard like i cannot do that type of stuff in photoshop #i think this is what i've been like. missing in my recent renders though like. #editing shadows and stuff #it feels wrong to add shadows and highlights when i'm working in blender #but i think it adds like a personal touch. you know

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #talanah tuesday #talanah #with a rather specifically-colored sunset #talanah khane padish #the sunhawk #hfw talanah #hfw npcs #gotta say working with all these mediocrely-lit shots is really upping my editing game #i usually just click around madly at the usual suspects (curves‚ exposure‚ shadows/highlights‚ brightness/contrast) #until something looks good #but i've been getting a better feel for it lately #still i am sure a professional would cringe so hard lmao
