[ferdydurke]

Could you write something about your dnd character/s? Love hearing about other people's ocs!

hehe i finally have a moment to answer >:3c this is gonna be long so im gonna get a read more involved

my only character thats actually from dnd (my online group plays other ttrpgs) and "active" (we played two sessions 3 months ago ;w; but! might play again) Is Yeshe :3

Its a mdzs inspired campaign... im pretty sure, i havent watched it... so i based her off of tibetan folk clothes and ofc off of a pallas cat. She hadnt had time to shine as a character yet and her backstory and motivations are bit murky =w= but the gist is that she takes care of her magically gifted little sibling (another player character, my sketch attached), they were raised in a remote commune and are now going to the big city.

Now, the character from a finished campaign of City Of Mist (really cool system!!!) thats been on my mind a lot recently is my beloved Theooooooo

He was originally an oc completely detached from any specific setting, then I put him with my beloved Rochelle (in the blue dress, she started out as a dnd character but got only like 2 sessions back in 2020 :'3) in my own version of feywild (ill get to it later).

And then!!! I decided to play him in that CoM game and it was the best decision everrrrrrrrrr he was so so so so sos ososoosososos fun :3. CoM is urban fantasy where people become "rifts" for mythical beings and are able to use their power.

Theo was a Detective and a Fey and i really enjoyed playing an absolutely devious, controlling and charming guy =w=. His main motivation was power, he thought most people (except for his wife rochelle altough they have a tomshiv thing going on) are beneath him and mostly there for him to order around like chess pieces. And something that made this campaign insanely fun for me was that in order to get more powerful he had to do a task for the fey queen - kidnap and deliver a singer to her. A singer which also happened to be the person we had to protect during our investigation... dm and me kept it secret.

It was so insanely fun to walk into every scene thinking of how to find an opportunity to do that... in the end I managed to, in a very tense scene (the greyscale sketch at the top, the girl smiling behind theo is one of the fey messangers). The other PCs didnt stop him because they had some trust in him... got away with it completely :3. Tho I agreed not to play him in the next campaign (even tho id love to >_<) bc his jig was kinda up. Great character tho, and thanks to my dm i finally get warlocks, i might play one sometime!

Now, still in the city of mist im playing Valerie :3

Her mythos is "Vampire" but she refuses to drink blood... she gets all sorts of issues bc of that, has trouble keeping down frineds and jobs ect... Still very early in the campaign but shes pretty fun :3 tho i prefer chracters who are a bit more commanding, i made her more of a follower to let my group breathe after theo but i kinda naturally fell back into organising the party again last session so i think i just need to stick to making charismatic characters next time sidugfsd. shes a nice change of pace tho, im excited for whats in store for her.

My feywild!!! It's a setting ive had in my head ever since i made Rochelle, Its sort of an early modern france mixed with Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell which sounds pretty lame and ig it is isudgfsd.

Theres a lot of ideas and a lot of characters that i dont really have time to develop and am prolly gonna rework a million times =w= but its fun, and its fun to make plalists for random archfey.

Last character I'll mention =w= even tho i never got to play him because the campaign fell apart before the fist session, as they often do, I really love Byk and I wanna show you guys...

Tadeusz Byk born in 1880 in Poland, Emigrated to the usa (boston then moved near new york) with his mother and grandma when he was 13... Operates a temporary house for immigrants that his mother started. Now 40, works as a tailor and sells moonshine on the side. Depressed, repressed and with a big heart... hope i get to dust him off for something someday...

#barking #ask #I bet this is very unpleasant to read forgive me ive dyslexia and had to write it without autocorrect #if you guys are curious about any of em feel free to ask ^_^ also i have a million more ttrpg ocs so if you wanna see some more lemme know #i tried to stick to some relevant to dnd ones sdugsd #except for byk i just know you guys like old man yaoi #he got that hat from a childhood friend he had a thing for... all very tragic

Ok so by the request of @j2lx, a 500 word essay on any topic thats related to the people i simp for. And hence, i proudly present,

WHY CHROMES ARCLIGHT FRAME BEATS GLORY AND DESERVES BETTER

Here are my criterias. (Disclaimer everything here is purely my own opinion and my love for chrome)

1. Voicelines and poses

2. Coatings (yes i know theres a vampire skin but im in global and even then why that when abs)

3. Fight animations

4. The dorm chibis

5. Affection story

(And now before i go any further, yes i play all my games with chinese dub if they have it, but yes, i also call the commandant shikikan)

Voicelines and poses

I could go on a whole day about this but look arclight needs more lines. In comparison to the newer character frames, he has so few poses. BUT HIS LINES AND LITTLE GESTURES MAKE ME GO INSANE.

Like look at him going all shy and there are what, 5 of them?? Just imagine if we had more, how cute they would be. CHROME BEING SHY IS SO GODDAMN ADORABLE.

More examples^^ of his voicelines

And then we have the glory frame

These are literally the only 2 that make me feel anything but even then. IT DOESNT COMPARE TO ARCLIGHTS VOICELINES. Its almost as of he's grown a little more distant from shikikan after the new frame :(

Next Coatings

So since we have the standard ultima looks above, lets go with those first. So i wont deny that the glory frame looks better. (it's what made me get chrome after all) But i love the little ear decives chromes arclight frame has. Theyre jsut so cute but overall, in terms to standard frames, glory wins.

Now onto the frames you can buy

^glorys

Its cool and a little better than a similar one arclight has

^^im talking about this one

BUT

QLDHLQHWKGWLWYWUSUQGHWHFJWVWJX

You can see why. I dont need to say it. (Also, yes, i do have that camu skin. iykyk)

And therefore. My final conclusion is that arclights frame win this. I havent bought that skin yet but I'll probably get it soon.

Ok update: Halfway through writing this i decided yknow what, im pretty sure i have a lot of coating blueprints. Its only 49??? Such a steal. I still have soooo many coating sketches that i havent exchanged yet.

Can you hear me screaming? HES SO HOT GODDAMN SKJDKHDKAJSJK. NO REGRETS.

And.... onto fight animations

Ignore the terrible gameplay and the fact. its incredibly fast and the fact that im lagging a bit. I have absolutely no control over my dodges i know, im working on it.

(i wanted to add another short vid of arclight as the starter because he just looks so pretty but alas, tumblr wont let me so imma just gonna fangirl over that in another post)

Very honestly speaking, glorys animations and effects are better. Especially when the game ends and if youre caught in the midst of his signature or some attack. Although I'll admit that sometimes we get really strange angles

I cant really decide but I'll pick glory on this one. Simply because its really fun to just randomly ping an orb towards the end and hopefully get a cooler looking pose right before they play the battle end animation.

(theres gonna be a pt. 2 for this. i have so many photos and tumblr isnt letting me put more than 10 so-)

ok so, ik i havent been on here in literal ages but i got really busy with classes this semester, but im hoping i'll be able to talk a lil more often cuz im on break now! and i have good news about my finals and my swim class earlier in the summer! i passed my art history and my illustration classes with B's (no clue what i got for my animation class but we move on) and for my swim class i can mostly do front strokes (still cant figure out how to take a breath yet but im sure i'll figure that out next summer!) i also found out that, while i hat floating on my back, i seem to not mind it as much if im moving! i think one of the things that helped me was imagining sal there with me, staying close by and making sure i was ok, sometimes putting her hand under me to help gently push me up a little more or gently pushing the top of my head a little more under the water so i can float better. i think she'd be super proud of the progress i made!

also, i finally got around to drawing a spicy sketch of alcina (and me and a couple of my oc's djjd). its not exactly a pinup but its def something spicy. i used different colors for everyone so i can see which parts belonged to who. the blue harpy girl is andromeda, the octopus mermaid is ruby, and then theres me in between the lady's legs! still have to finish it, but so far so good! (still need to do a pinup of just alcina tho... but i did see a couple really pretty rennaisence paintings that i could try to put her in too, i just need to pick which one i like more.... leaning a little bit to the "venus of urbino" painting cuz it vibes with her a lot shdb

Hello, there, dear! I hope this break treats you well and congratulations on the grades 😊♥️ And that is really fucking cute, honestly. Sal would love to know the thought of her being by your side was able to help you with that 🥺 And she'd absolutely be proud, dear 😁 Also, Sal would be a really hot great swimming coach (Sal swim coach AU when? 👀🤣)

And ooooooooh 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Very nice, indeed 👀 A blue harpy, you say? 👀 Also, a renaissance style pin up of Lady D sounds fucking incredible, ngl! Like, please do share if end up doing anymore, yeah? 👀 For science, of course.. extremely gay science 👀

#depravity answered #aphnatasha #resident evil village #alcina dimitrescu #lady alcina dimitrescu #lady alcina x oc #genderbent sal #and maybe im just a simp but #it kinda looks like sasha on the bottom 👀 #just saying 👀👀 #re8 asks

[viky-somebody]

hm. still thinking if its worth buying a full version of a drawing app for me. and if yes then which one

on one hand theres ibis paint that seems quite cool, theres some nice features, i can finally turn and flip the canvas around and create more layers without literally exploiting a glitch (?), and there are a lot of brushes, and also my friend used it and she made some cool stuff with it. the problems are that theres not much available if you dont pay for it. no idea if they have a similar brush to the one i really like too. also i havent got used to the interface yet so idk if im ready to spend money on an app im not confident enough to use all the time.

then theres tayasui sketches that ive been using since forever. literally theres not much about it online, its not too popular of an option. despite its funny and sometimes useful glitches i think its an alright app, although again, you cant flip the canvas, spin the drawing around or make more layers (i still dont know if the way i do them is a glitch or an intended feature. i sure do hope it stays tho). I think the full version has some more brushes available and some other stuff too? but again, theres not much about the app online so idk if the bonus features are worth the money. maybe i can just do it to support the creators or something. Also my favourite crunchy brush. if i change the app my art might not be that crunchy anymore, that will be a weird feeling to get used to.

eh im just rambling. if anyone has any thoughts tho feel free to share em!

#viky stuff #ibis paint #tayasui sketches #<- also speaking of them. some time ago they started to promote their discord server in the loading screen. i decided to join #it was a weird place. only one mod for about 10k people. there were many weirdos and mod couldnt ban them all #despite that people shared their art and it was fun lol. after a week of me being there apparently the devs decided its probably not worth #running the server anymore?? idk but the server got first restricted and stopped all messages and then deleted entirely #they still have the discord logo in the loading screen tho. idk if theyre gonna remove it. #i wonder if they gave up on the app entirely after the discord experience cause there havent been many updates after that lol

[image description: a picture of three doodles of the vessel siblings. lost kin and ghost are roughly facing each other, but are standing at an angle. greenpath vessel is sitting on the floor below them. ghost has their nail strapped to their back. end id]

theres also these space filling doodles i did lmao. orchid Sitt. its also just delightful to give them little paws, even if i kind of fuck it up lmao

i havent fully decided on how i want their cloaks to behave yet. i kind of like the idea of it being one long strip instead of several discrete strips, but hm. leaf. idk yet, we’ll see

also, for slightly more spoilery art:

[image description: a picture a full body sketch of Teoda, a ladybug. he is significantly bigger and wider than Lyzi and Solice; his body type is akin to a fat person. he has a ‘very generic mask’ as denoted by text above it, with an arrow pointing to it, but there are three small imprints on his forehead, which are ‘not eyes; just markings.’ next to his mask is a sketch of his face under it, which is nearly identical except for the lack of forehead markings and the presence of mandibles. his hans are clasped together, and a cloak, with a hallownest seal clipping it together, is sketched over his body. he is an ‘adept caster.’ end id{

i finally sketched teoda. i hesitated calling him fat because its like. this is just the beetle body type? i need to check how fat storage in bugs works too, so like a fat mantis will look Pretty different from a fat beetle. thats my main point here; teoda’s body shape is like the default for ladybugs. or maybe not, once i do some research. we’ll see lol. i just wanted him to be taller than aulen and kitsa and also chunkier

ive also loosely decided on what beetle species im basing them off of, but i dont remember the name off the top of my head. it was something like long legged or long nosed water beetle for aulen and kitsa, idk. teoda’s just a generic ladybug. but yeah! ideas :)

[atalienart]

hi! i have a problem with drawing. right now i have artblock and yesterday i tried to draw something like 3 times, but i can't do anything. i try to somehow calm myself so that i don't get hysterical. and, of course, i tried to find something about it in internet, but i found nothing. why people don't talk about art struggles, mental struggles and emotional burnout? what to do if you can’t draw because you’ll get hysterical or anxious at the end of the process?

Hmm… I don’t really know your situation, I don’t know if it’s because you draw too much (for school/job), feel some social media pressure, or if it’s just this “I can’t draw for shit” stage that every artists seems to have from time to time.

The anxiety when you don’t produce art might be overwhelming. You draw and nothing comes out right. People post beutiful art every day and are successful with their zines, comics, books. They get featured, they’re hired, they are a part of big projects! And you can’t draw the pose right, it’s stiff and you know the lineart will look even worse. People won’t like it, you’re such a disappointment. It makes you want to scream. It’s a horrible feeling. I know that feeling. But… to quote the classic: “Let it go!” \(u-u)/

Take a deep breath. (´ο`)=3

My advice (I’m not sure if useful) would be to stop drawing for a week or so. Do something else, watch some new series, go for a walk, read books you haven’t read yet, try some games, definitely try something new. If you were in a particular fandom and created for it or drew inspiration from it - stop. You’ll feel itchy and will try to draw but don’t. And don’t feel guilty about it! You need to recharge, so instead of producing stuff try to comsume something new. Enjoy it.

Then try to draw but don’t expect anything. Find a few photos, very simple ones, of the sky, field, something not too complicated and study colours, try to draw with big shapes, blocks of colour, don’t expect it to look good, it’s just a study. It’s about reigniting the curiosity and pleasure of creating. When you try to draw something more complicated treat it as a study, a sketch, a stage. Draw something you’ve never drawn before, design a chair. Focus on the chair and not on the feeling you should be drawing something else and it’s just a waste of time, it isn’t. Draw a few thumbnails, you don’t like it, start a new one until your hand gets loose and you start to get some new ideas. If it’s getting too frustrating go for a walk, or dance to your favourite song.

(Also, go to people who inspire you, not those who make you feel shitty about your art. I’m not talking about negativity or toxic people. Some artists are the best human beings and they are very good at what they do but sometimes they make you feel not good enough. It’s not true, and it’s not their fault, but it happens. So sometimes it’s good to find someone who doesn’t overwhelm you with their detailed artworks, huge followers count, achievements etc.)

Allow yourself to make bad art. You won’t escape from it. All the art you see on the internet was chosen by artists for you to see. And there are tons of shitty drawings on their computers and in sketchbooks they chose not to show. Sometimes you open your canvas and this is your end result for the day:

It’s fine!

And there’s one thing I suppose is very important if you want to fight art axiety. Don’t think about the drawings you made before, they’re done. Don’t think about the drawings you will do, you should do, or you want to do. Open the canvas, draw not thinking about the result, don’t expect it to be good or bad. To quote another classic: “Be in the moment.” Don’t be scared to ruin your drawing with the wrong line, try a different option and allow yourself to be surprised with the result. The result is bad, well, tough. What does it change, you won’t post it online? Who said you have to? Draw for yourself, not for other people, not for followers (don’t share your art with a big audience for some time, even if it’s good), not even your inner critic. Discover rather than force the outcome.When you draw a line don’t think about the final result, think about what that one line does for the drawing in that very moment.

And if you find yourself panicking about your art my ask box is always open, we can chat about art and exchange doubts. It’s all about not overthinking stuff because it doesn’t help.Wow, it’s a bit lengthy… xD Hope you find something that’s usefull. It’s based on my experience. I’m not saying that I got over it, I still stress over art and everything but I try to get better at calming my mind, and those things help me.

[tumblunni]

Feeling more Thoughts for my miscellaneous pokemon gijinka ocs! Man i really should someday talk about the ones i made as a teen. I started getting really attatched to my mons in sinnoh and then i tried to be Detatched And Cool for the next few generations and alola was the first time i got all gijinka madness again. NOW I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK!!!!

Anyway, today we're talking aboyt Gaspar the gengar aka one of my biggest comfort characters from that childhood gijinkaverse, who i decided to age up into a Cool Dad and bring back in a new story because I Love Him And You All Need To Love Him Too

I was thinking more about Chilliam aka The New Oc Made Entirely To Be A Son For Dad. Not sure anymore if i wanna make him a shiny gastly or maybe a different kind of ghost, or even a new fakemon or something? Cos well he was named that cos shiny gastly looks like an ice ghost but it isnt actually an ice ghost. Ans the only ice ghosr is female only for some dumb reason and its also a very complicated final evolution design which doesnt seem to fit well for a kiddy ghost. Maybe i should doodle some smol icy spoops? I dont really have much of an idea tho except like a snowball version of gastly

Alternative idea is maybe have him as a gijinka of a psychic type pokemon? Cos that could theoretically also be an opportunity to have him be a gijinka pokemon who was once a human. In the gijinkaverse thats obvioysly rare cos the whole point is that theyre pokemon who turn into humans. So blablabla you could maybe justify keeping his plot with a psychic type mon cos psychic humans exist in pokemon and itd make sense to just have a human with psychic powers that are like based around a certain pokemon. I thought that would be a neat idea for how it works? Like Sabrina's psychic powers involve using spoons like Kadabra and Caitlyn from the elute four has all that sleep themed aesthetic and a psychic aura the same colour as munna. Alternative idea: the kid is in a coma and astral projecting using his psychic powers which is why Gaspar mistakes him for a fellow pokemon.

But i dunno i just like the idea of ghosts!! I think it would be cool if ghosts were pokemon! Like its infinately more neato to rise from the grave as a monster than as a boring translucent copy of yourself whos exactly the same. And theres so many cool ghostie monster designs in pokemon, from cute to cool to legitimately scary! Who wouldnt wanna spend an afterlife as a gengar!!!! HEAVEN IS GENG

Oh and also i thought up maybe a supporting character who'd be Chilliam's best friend from his old life who he meets again and tearfully reunites with. I havent decided their gender yet but ive sketched up some designs that sorta accidentally looked like a hoothoot gijinka? Which probably isnt really gonna work cos the whole point of the character was being a normal human school friend and all. Itd be funny if they just totally coincidentally look like a gijinka and gaspar is like "dammit am i the only one here who aint human????" Or i dunno maybe this person actually is a hoothoot and they where human-chilliam's starter pokemon and its just like he can see other pokemon as humans now and talk to them since he's dead. Or somehow hoothoot friend did some epic quest to gain the gijinka powers out of sheer friendship, i dunno! But i think there'sa lot more plot potential in having a normal human friend who really has no powers to fight any of the villains but theyre still a total badass who'sdetermined to protect their best friend now they finally got him back. Im picturing a lil hermione-looking nerd with big round glasses smacking a giant gyarados with a tennis racket and chilliam is in the background all wow heart eyes! Cos seriously from the friend's perspective they had no idea why he suddenly vanished someday and they tried to be optimistic and believe the obvious lie that he "just moved away", when they knew his dad was abusive and all. Maybe had the hope that his dad lost custody and he got taken in by a better family member? Really goddamn depressing to find out that all the worries were true and he did indeed die. But when you're hearing that literally from his mouth while he's standing right in front of you its kinda hard to process what the fuck is going on! WHY ARE YOU SEE THROUGH!!! So i imagine there was a lot of fainting and a slight bit of crying but then absolute mushy joy at being reunited again, and promises to never let go!

So uhh yeah thats how i gave ghost kid a love interest i guess??? I just get the feel that maybe there was an unconfessed confession back when he was alive. And i dunno if he'll ever say it but i think even if they just remain friends forever they still have a strong mutual admiration going on. Nerdy friend looks up to chilliam as this sort of cool guy who always stands up for them and chilliam honestly feels the same way about them, and theyre both like NO I AM TERRIBLE U R THE GOOD GOOD! And then they need to hug muchly. Also hello meet my new ghost dad! Meanwhile this entire time gaspar has been beating up his bio dad after hearing the whole backstory thing. Pauses briefly mid punch to say hi, then continues.
