#trying to figure out fabrics & the like

rip to bruce but if i fumbled her i would literally kill myself

#wrote this caption before trying to figure out if the artist intended for this to be a qipao or not #settled on the fact that he did (the mandarin collar sealed it) and spent 2 hour reading a brief history of them #and terminology to try and make an accurate ID but my 'ohmygof she's so fucking hot' got QUICKLY replaced with anger #like in 1930 Shanghai there were so many designs that did feature more form fitting fabric & high side slits #theres so many general gorgeous designs with the elaborate pankous and embroidery and beading that you could of taken inspiration from #and you make it more or less a unitard. you go hm close enough just to sexualize her further #like yeah she's gorgeous my caption stands but the disrespect and disregard is so... you know. #anyways. messy little ramble over. if im bruce wayne im killing myself and also thepankou(.)com has really beginner friendly posts talking #about the history of them & different (general) region styles & the use of qipaos in different media and exhibits. also a GORGEOUS wardrobe #crypt's panels #talia al ghul

rug hook edition of color combos I liked but didn't quite work out

#wip #artists on tumblr #rug hooking #fabrication #fiber art #purely personals #delete later #def wanna do something with the second photo #gonna try redo the border in blue so we'll see how that goes? #like the first two backgrounds were fine but felt sorta intense/overwhelming all together #it's kinda interesting/fun figuring out colors because I can try do like...a rough color sketch in photoshop #but obv. the yarn color's not gonna exactly match plus can look a bit different once they're looped/next to other colors #edit: OH :O was able to give the swan gift one and they liked it a lot :'D

i said in the tags i’d do it and it took me ten years but i fuckin meant it @kidrunaway @detroitbecomeonline

i’d really like to revisit this after i finish my other wips that i started before i got sick because i think the changing of her hair throughout the story is SUCH a cool idea !!!

also thinkin ‘bout fem markus and josh doing each other’s hair 👉👈

i used a ton of ref images obviously but these are the big ones

this post by my-name-is-markus-with-a-k

and these hair tutorials by misselaney

#its probly real obvious im not very good at drawing hair. i mean even straight hair im still trying to figure out honestly #its been one of those things thats like i KNOW i HAVE to practice drawing hair especially curly #but i have been so fuckin focused on fabric folds the last few months bc of historical dresses lmao rip #ANYWAYS. this was really good for me and i think its a decent first attempt. im excited to learn to do it better !!!!!! #detroit become human #dbh #detroit: become human #d:bh #dbh markus #markus rk200 #fem!markus #my art #the blogger says words

wizard looking for a way home (aka wizard of dark space)

#pokemon #swsh #champion leon #wizard leon babeyy! #thank u to cosme for hangin out with me while I figure this one out lol #this! is the piece I used for the ''speedpaint'' thingy btw. I'll try to put together the video over the next month or so #lol. usually when I make wizard leon designs I riff with what comes up and think abt like. maybe his affinity in this set #like ''oh he'd do fabric talismans. oh he'd levitate. he does poppet stuff'' #that at most. but this. the moment I started fleshing this one out I was like #oh he's really lost. for a very long time. to the point he's learned so much he's forgotten what many of the things on his suit does #like lmao I guess I can Not be normal about any astronaut leon huh!! its chronic for me #I couldnt get to some of the questions folks asked with this one. so this video will probably not be comprehensive #but I'll make another when those things come up!! #fksjdfk sorry lads most of u guys asked abt colors but idk if this ones the best for that. its got a preddy concrete palette #guess I can save talking about the more insane color stuff for when that comes up too... #we'll see!! hope it's gonna happen #for now. one more wizard leon for the book. have a good night lads! #tie a yarn round ur wrist dont forget the way back

#miles morales #spiderman #spider man #transfemme miles #transfem miles #this is my second time editing breasts onto her thr first time didn’t go all that well it took me forever #trying to figure out how a design on fabric like this is a punishment I would wish on my worst enemy #m&m posts

One reason I think it's actually good to start a big project is watching - in real time! - the fact that you're gaining proficiency

So, this is part of my project:

I'm not sure if you can see it on camera (I hope you can, even if it's embarrassing), but at the bottom of the piece, there are many stitches jutting out. Do you see the inconsistency in them? But when you move your eyes up toward the end (the top), the stitches are so much more even and uniform? It's so weird to see the progress right before your eyes, but it's honestly what I think makes this project special to me. The very bottom of this part of the project represents being able to not only learn but to remember. I think that's what makes this life worth living.

#art #crochet #encouragement #encouraging words #my first project tag #described images #image description in alt #i call those jutting stitches the texturizers #i feel like some of the texturizing stitches will bother me so i might actually sew them down a bit #obviously i am not going to rip the fabric down to the first row just to fix it #this has probably taken me between 10-15 hours? i'm not sure - it's easier to calculate the cost #i feel like you can catch my mistakes on camera but i had to really try to figure out the lighting so it can expose them as clearly as i can

lacho but it's kronberg's david and saul

#this is a very rough wip ... i kind of want to spend forever on this so that the lineart can be like. #chock full of detail #so much fabric is in the original painting so im trying to incorporate that #but i wanted to at least vaguely get the bodies down !!! #i have to get back to uni work but maaaan was it nice to just sit and work on this... #lacho #TURBOwip. even just blocking out the background is going to take forever #might change lalo's shoes to the classic blue moccasins HOWEVER i kind of am obsessed w keeping more of the original sandal vibe #also trying to figure out how to incorporate the gd. harp. thing. Pose #originally i was gonna change it completely so nacho was head down counting money #but i am trying this... #REMINDER TO SELF: put a vase of flowers somewhere. mayhaps in the space behind lalo's foot? #the upper foot #underneath the sill... maybe a chest. or a vault. smthn vaguely sinister #if i was going full crazy mode i would go with memento mori but idk if lalo's crazy enough to erm. #keep a human skull for decoration!!! #anyways

an imitation of the cheap variety

#durarara #izaya orihara #shizuo heiwajima #shizaya #a cheap imitation #i made a thing #ehe it's like a parady of one of the saw movie posters a friend sent me a while back #the one with the hanging teeth #and i also absolutely took reference from the way @shigaeru draws izaya's knives #i just really like the distinct shape he gives them #also since this is aci that knife design is kinda burned into my mind as the aci knife design whoops #the colours are also pulled and tweaked from that comic's first volume cover #the red bg is very iconic and fitting for this sort of thing and the blue shading looks really pretty with it..... #this whole thing is extremely derivative as you can see #i wanted to adjust more with the piece but i make my best art in the very first burst of loosely slapping stuff down #trying to clean anything up from there is futile #so i tweaked some things and just had to make myself share it as is #i wanted to make it clearer how the blade is cutting into the fabric but i couldn't figure it out :( #i hope you can still manage to derive the intended symbolism from it lol #i had this idea a while back but decided to use #shizayaweek2023 #free day #as a deadline to help motivate myself to actually try it #it's still late but whatever #throwing it up at the door rn #okay i actually sat on this for a few extra days just because of the horrific compression cursed upon it on upload #why??? #i could not win no matter how small i made it #i have no clue how to fix it so now it just looks like that i'm sorry ;o; #maybe i'll try posting it somewhere else as well idk

paltech tent!

#im probably gonna switch things around a little but its okay for now :) #originally this was 'hunting' kind of tent #wasnt finished at all though so i decided to put all the new pal stuff here instead! #i had already put the mining stuff and the little chapaa so it already had the metal aesthetic yknow? #its fun i like it :) #i dont really like the floor but ill figure it out #i was just trying to add as much of the set as possible #i added the fan and one of the wall vents in my bedroom! i did recolor them though lol #putting all this in the tent though is so funny to me cause like its a Tent #where the fuck is the wall fire coming from alhdg #me: i care about realism in my house decor #also me: heated wall vent in the fabric tent lol #aldhgla #*mine

a- a- mic ok?

いくよおおおおおおおおおお！！

#solart #hatsune miku #vocaloid #miku #this is the sporty maid noodle topper figure #which i bought in february while staying at my sibling's old place for a music festival #planning 2 cosplay it so this is actually a cosplay design. i just wanna add some colours and accessories bcoz the dress is quite simple #like its rlly cool its a normal frilly maid dress at first but then u look closer and its kind of. cyber #it is called 'sporty' maid dress #im gonna make the stripes out of light-relfecting fabric so it looks really awesome and cool and swag #and green hair................. #trying 2 force my bestie matthew 2 go 2 the convention with me also wearing a maid dress #introducing my best friend to everyone in town wearing a salmon suit

[the-halfling-prince]

Designed a dress I want to make heavily inspired by Merida from brave and then I decided to draw it on Merida.

The original sketch:

#I've been big on costume design ever since sophomore year when I was on our play's costume team and I like to think I'm good at it #In 11th grade I got a superior at districts competition for costume design so #Unfortunately I didn't get to do it again in 12th grade #I think my into the woods antebellum Red riding Hood and my regency Rapunzel would have gotten high scores but whatevs #Oh yeah! I also gave her archery gloves. I wish I had archery gloves it would save my hands so much pain #I have money I should get some #This had got to be one of my only dress designs without a million pounds of tulle #I like tulle heavy dresses lol #Like my Cinderella from into the woods design. Or my Juliet and Clara dresses (I admit I do name the dresses I design with people names #I know a lot of people do that and I think it's better than saying 'oh that one pink dress' like babes which one #I still need to properly draw my tinkerbell dior dress design #Basically the skirt is just like that one door dress. The one that looks like it's got flower petals. But it's green #And also very tulle heavy #For this dress I was trying to figure out a way to incorporate tartan in the design and as I was looking online for teal velvet fabric I #remembered how hard it is to find that exact shade of fabric (my dad made me a merida dress when I was little and it took forever for him t #find the exact shade) and then I realized I could just use blue and green tartan (which is way easier to find they've got plenty at Joann's #And I'm pretty sure my dad already has some I could use) instead! #I want to get a few simpler sewing projects under my belt before I attempt this #But my mum suggested I make a matching dress for my dolls and like. Literally amazing idea. #I've got a tunic I need to make for a convention so that's how I'm gonna start. Like the most I've done on a sewing machine is hem so yeah #we're starting small #I design dresses all the time so I really need to learn to sew so I can make them #And this is my motivation I NEED this dress #Anyway #my posts #my art #pixar brave #I once said my favorite Disney princess was Merida and my friend said 'yeah that's what I figured' like??? Is it obvious? #anyway moving on

made a mushroom pin that's also the hardest object to photograph on earth. I still have a brick and a half of air dry clay left so I hope to make more :]

#bakuspecial #I dont think I have a craft tag lmao. well #really wanted to make the gills on these shrooms more uh. physical. but I did Not have the patience for it fskjdfhdj #next time hopefully I will have more. #also the matte spray is really cool... its cocomelon shit to me it really does dry matte...... #the other pins in that first pic are from a saigon art shop and a prize for a queer art contest I placed in two years ago #I need a good way to display them lol. mostly so I dont lose them #need to make like a scroll of fabric or something to hang on the bookshelf #my vision for this thing is a nice wide brimmed hat thats earth toned and I paint it to look like a log #and figure out how to embroider moss on it. and then mushroom pins #its genuinely not my style at all lmao I just wanna try and make it #alright I should go to bed soon.... Im gettin another stretch of sleepin at normal human hours for a while. best to make use of it #have a good night lads! making some fucked up little things really is so fuckin good for ur brane n mind

girlies I'm losing my mind.

#personal #vent #oh my goddddd #i thought my coworker and i were finally making decent progress on our project #that we have to present on THURSDAY MORNING #and this is the biggest project we need to do twice a year #only to find. at five fucking pm today. that she had not informed me we are resourcing two of our biggest fabric programs to a new supplier #which supplier? don't know #just know it's not going to be the one I've been planning for #and that the fabric program i DID want to resource #and had SPOKEN TO HER ABOUT TODAY #cannot go to the supplier I pencilled it in as #i don't know if she didn't know herself or just forgot or didn't care or didn't understand or what #for fuck's sake this is your job to know this stuff #don't just sit there looking gormless while i have to find out from YOUR BOSS #who then speaks to me in the most patronizing manner possible as she tells me she can't do my job for me #like motherfucker i just. need. correct. information. jesus christ. #also shout out to the big boss who last week was like tell me if you have any scheduling concerns guys!!! #and then when i told her today i have scheduling concerns because. uh. the fucking project is not going. anywhere. at this rate. #get told oh no sorry we can't do any schedule moves you can figure it out #like???? what???? was the point????? of asking us to come to you???? #this is such a prolific fucking issue in my workplace and it drives me nuts #it's like management have heard these trite phrases on a managing people skills course somewhere #and not realised you need to back it up. with actual. actions. #also my manager whomst i loved is now on maternity leave and her replacement is someone i've worked with previously and. hm. suffice to say #she has not changed one bit #in regards to her complete inability to stand up for her team #i'm sure she has her good points but she's as supportive as a fucking wet paper towel #ignoring me trying to set boundaries on my time #but making sure SHE leaves on time for school pickup

I was looking for a WIP I wanted to work on again and found a bunch of Slasher Orphanage (by @echoes-lighthouse) doodles I just?? Never posted??

So here are those I guess. The slasher Orphanage is a Slapstick Comedy to Me <3

#Emile's Arts #Evil Slasher Orphanage #Anna #Long post #Kind of. Just the comic at the start #A little more on my Slasher Orphanage S/I; He absorbed the Power of the Entity from Dead by Daylight by Eating it #And is now struggling with these eldritch abilities to tear the fabric of space apart #He keeps bringing killers from across dimensions into his little pocket dimension #(which he made to look EXACTLY like Echo's original dimension farm house) #And is trying DESPERATELY to hide this #The only people who know are himself Anna Stu and Brandon #Though Micheal has an inclination something's not right with Emile he just hasn't fully figured it out yet #I just think if you put a bunch of slashers in a house together there's a high chance of one of them stabbing the others #Anna gets stabbed the most btw she does not respect boundaries well. She's just so excited to be a mom. #Micheal hates her #He also doesn't like me and you know what that's fair. Wary of change. #Stu gets knowledge because he canonically watched Friday the 13th and Halloween in his universe #So he figures it out PRETTY quickly #And uses it to mess with me #I think he'd try to summon Beetlejuice in ear shot of me to see if it'd work
