#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #Despite a whole ass inspiration board for reference - it turns out drawing and colouring half submerged people is a CHALLENGE. #I am channeling the zoobie bunny and internally screaming “WHY DID YOU THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA”. #What I wanted was a cool transition between present and past! What I got was a very full mouth of my own foot! #That said: there are aspects I really like about this one and I feel like I got most of the way to where I wanted it to be. #Water is hard to draw and I am saying that even after dedicating a full 4 page comic with people in the water. #Forget hands. Water is my new nemesis. #I love how floaty this flashback transition was. The hazy mind wandering as LWJ carries him as a set up to recollection! #Aren't memories an incredible thing? To relive a moment in your mind? To have time repeat again and again? #And yet it is always a little different when we go to recall it once again. We are different people than the person we once were.

I'm very excited to finally share the alternative dust jacket designs I did for dazzlingbookishshop's FT Lukens set! I absolutely adore these books and they were such a pleasure to illustrate covers for. Check out their site for details if you're interested in grabbing the set!

stanley parable bible symbolism (the crowd goes wild)

honestly i put too many details into snookie9 over here look at the fact their headphones are unplugged cause their ass is not listening look at the fact theyre uhhh apple headphones (im so funny) and the cookie and eveyrhting just look at them

also the snake, thats,, not subtle of me in any way

[cookie9 design by tumblr user pilksus!! as per use khdg]

i couldnt resist drawing a lil 432 so. you get him too. my love. hes john-the-baptist themed (what if you wanted to prelude the main guy and do some cool stuff and be associated with commonly sacrifical animals but then you get wiped out the story like a loser) except hes no animal handling training so pls ignore how terrified the sheep seems

i would be too honestly

also this is the first time i think ive ever posted a proper drawing of him!! and this is what you get! wow thats memorable huh

#if the results of this poll wind up being super 'nooooooo dont make him wear animal fur' then FINe ill change the image but #he gets the fur for now methinks #its black #b #because #oh you get the themes #honestly i should actually get designs for stanley & the narrator shouldnt i #i mean my narrator design is just He Is Some Mist Lol #dk how to put thar one down on paper #hes particles of water!! hes a light spray!!!!!! hes a slightly humid patch of air!!!!!!! #i honestly take my hats off to yall #for having proper designs #imagine being able to draw the same guy consistently #or like actually come Up with a guy #i love yalls guys #if you ever have a really cool narrator design #then just know. i am Looking #so hard. #and someday some dark and stormy night i will draw every narrator ever MUAHAHA and then you'll all be sorry #ohhh yes you will #AND THEN ILL DRAW EVERY STANLEY WOOOOOOOOOO #ooooo youll never escape this curse oooooooo #i should probably stop writing tags now shouldnt i #lol #love you byeeee #tobyart

Kevin Day would not use petnames. However if calls you an idiot at least three times a day that's how you know he loves you

YEAH THAT’S THE THING REALLY i think kevin’s first of all a low empathy & low emotional intelligence autism girl so he struggles with most aspects of affection nevertheless, but especially spoken conversation is hard for him and to both convey and understand an affectionate tone is a big task. that’s why kevin treats men like the dogs they are and unfortunately sounds like someone’s really uptight dominatrix in casual conversation

#sorry i think trying to date kevin is really hard and not for the weak #but its totally worth the effort i promise. i think. i hope #probably not #by then youre too into it to mind though #i love low empathy kevin hes watching matt sob to a movie like damn. its fake did you knowz #did you know. matthew. its not real #trying to get andrew and kevin to empathize with you is like trying to draw water from a rock #my loves #kevin #asks

[madaraservingcunt]

We lack madara with a mustache

#asks #bruh i have been so uncreative feeling recently. #like i have been drawing but everything feels really blah recently #i found an abandoned bearded dragon outside of my house on sunday #and the poor fella was in terrible shape. #yesterday i took him to the vet and the doctor suggested i euthanize him because his injuries were truly horrendous #and i cried so hard and the vet was sad and the nurse was sad and i was sad #i gave the lizard a safe space in my garden to exist peacefully the day/night i found him #and he ate 3 crickets and drank some water #on the drive to the vet clinic he was really curious and more active than id observed him ever before #who abandons an animal like that? in this heat? like he was literally just on the curb in front of my house. #but i loved that lizard. #RIP iroh #ill try to start posting asks and drawing more but the lizard saga plus life stuff has been draining #when i get home from work i feel completely drained. its so fucking hot here. it feels like 120f and im cooking in that sunlight bruh #oh also the family dog passed away last month. no more animal deaths 2023 pls

The color this in your style from @ashwii was so much fun! Thank you for letting us use your lineart!

#rottmnt #rottmnt fanart #leo hamato #leonardo #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #fanart #i kinda got outside of my comfort zone with this one #i usually avoid drawing/rendering water 'cause its hard for me to get it to look right XD #but the glowy lines were really fun to do!!

[crescentfool]

a silly little comic i drew in a one hour haze featuring @fwishfearme and i’s ocs! aka: what happens when you put fishing extraordinaire shirayuri fugetsu in the same scenario as my silly squid minatoast? (alt text/dialogue in image captions)

#ffxiv #splatoon #crossover #<-- is it really when it's just my friend and i's ocs in the same comic?? KLFHFDH #how the fuck do you tag ocs how do you people LIVE #shirayuri fugetsu (lily) #minatoast #<- this bitch is finally get his own tag bc at this point im convinced he'll take a whole year to tell me his actual name. #if i ever mistag his namesake of his screenname bc of this i will cry from embarassment ESPECIALLY if im reblogging from someone #comic #lizzy does art #posting this here since lily posted it on her twt (with my permission). this needs 2 be archived somewhere #yuri is so fun to draw. lily and i have the same meme sense. check out her twitter if you like ff14. #i had a whole BLAST drawing this i love. drawing memey shit. #i swear i have actual lore about my oc but trying to translate thoughts into art is very hard sometimes :x #i say that but when i draw a proper minatoast comic it will probably be memey af bc i cant take myself seriously LOL #splatoon oc #oops forgot that tag. also uh. please ignore the whole squids and water things idk i forsake canon for humor sometimes

Joonas as drawn by my friend Maxi

#she started drawing it on our way back from Hamburg #I asked her if she wanted to add anything to this post and she said that: #1. she has now developed a hatred for jean jackets bc of this pic #2. while drawing this she called joonas 'goldilocks' (derogatory) #3. she struggled really hard to find the right shade for his eyes #bc of a lack of pictures available #i actually found a pic for her to use after she struggled with my initial approach of comparing his eyes to european bodies of water #'no not like the baltic sea'-'what do you mean not like the baltic sea' #'more like the sea near elafonisi. look!'-'there are five different shades of blue in this pic' #anywho she also wanted you to know that i pulled up the pic of joonas i sent to her for emotional support while i was working on my paper #i did finish it on time so i guess emotional support joonas worked #anywho #blind channel #catch ya later nerds ( affectionately)

Why do you have to write a story for other people to see it I feel like my brain is being stretched in twenty different directions with all the shit I want to make but low energy & not enough time & my own sense of shame makes it so that I’m not doing anything. Gahhh

#Remembered Petrichor and that little story I wanted to do with her…. Baby I have ignored you so hard I’m sorry I promise I still love you- #-ya dumb little freak #There’s also the Carsoro stuff and then the AU with that Sage I posted and I also wanna share dracula bs and like dread knight stuff and aa #Ahhh!! Do you get it!! Why do I have to work a job why can’t I draw little guys. I say knowing in my free time I just decompose watching- #Youtube videos about shit I don’t really care about and playing Isaac for the millionth time in a row #Idk if all rogue likes would be like that for me but Isaac is like. Bad. Edmund I think said he had adhd. That makes sense bc that game is- #-like. The perfect time waster for my brain with its broken ass reward system #My doctor was suprised I wasn’t being treated for my adhd maybe I should bite the bullet and try to see if being on smth for it would make- #-me feel less. Ehhhh #Or at least off antidepressants. Like Christ I feel like water with no ice a lot of the time that can’t be normal #Chatter #I’d say sorry for goign off on a rant but this is my blog I do what I want #I think a big problem is I’m lonely and want irl friends but like. How the fuck do you do that. I was not socialized enough as a puppy #Also I want to. Be open about being Toby but like Christ I’d be jumping in headfirst without even knowing where to begin #I haven’t researched like. Dick or shit about the medical side of it and even just socially transitioning like how the fuck would I explain #Idk. I don’t want to be like. Hated by my own family. I don’t think that would be the case but god. God. I have a fucking anxiety disorder

There's a certain tragedy regarding the simplicity of lemonade and the frequency of people fucking it up.

#hyperbole but w/e #like making good lemonade isnt that hard to the point that having good lemonade isnt really an accomplishment #however the amount of bad lemonades out there in the world makes the lemon lover in me cry. #anyways: how to improve your lemonade. 1st taste along the way. 2nd instead of adding sugar directly to water instead make simple syrup #simple syrup is 1 part sugar to 1 part water. boiling the water speeds up the solution. #2:1 sugar:water makes it shelf stable if you want to use the syrup for cocktails #anyways after you dissolve the sugar and heat the water turn off the stove and put the zest from your lemons youre using in the syrup #this will steep and draw out the oils (which have a lot of lemon flavor). this lets you strengthen the taste of your lemonade w/o the sour #but still use the juice for the tartness because tart lemonades are great #in fact you can actually throw other stuff into the syrup to steep if theres a lot of flavor in the oil #i sometimes put chopped mint and green chilies. thats makes good lemonades #you can also do ginger; cardamom; anise; honestly any spice #just fucking treat the hot syrup like it was tea. hell put tea in the syrup #as long as you strain the solids out of the syrup you just use it in place of the sugar when combining it and the juice and water #How To Drink youtube channel has a vid all about making syrups; both conventional and not #you can also make more fruity syrups by throwing fruits in a pot like strawberries with a bit of water; heat it; and just smash the bastards #strain the solids once again; reduce and you have syrups that you can then add to your lemonade #add sugar too to your fruit syrups theres not enough natural sugars to make the quantity you want #if you keep these syrups in little bottles you can honestly mix and match for all kinds of drinks #like club soda + these syrups and this is just normal soda but with funky flavors #you want to drink a god damn black pepper soda you cam #i think this escaped me #the power of syrups is potent

#op #I’m having a really rough time today and I don’t know how to make it stop #I tried keeping busy and distraction which had been working pretty reliably #but now it doesn’t work at all #it’s just bubbling up like pasta water with too much starch #my throat is raw from screaming in the car #my armpits itch like crazy I’m close to drawing blood #I need this to stop #I have shit to do #I need to be productive and helpful #I can’t just lay around all day feeling sorry for myselfv #I need to keep moving #but it’s so fucking hard #it hurts #when will it fucking stop
