Posting this by itself because :) I just feel like he should have gotten to wear the mech pilot suit at least once..

(my AU black version and the og green)

#Legend of Korra #Baatar Jr. #LoK #WIP #[ since this is from something silly I wanted to post this bit because he is serving very cunty #even if you know he's talking about accidentally ingesting caustic chemicals lol #this was def self indulgent but also why couldn't he have worn the suit at least once sobs #we had one chance #I don't actually think he uses the mech suit hardly ever even though he has his own personal one #but on rare occasions he does and gets in this outfit and Kuvira are you okay? Are you good? Has anyone checked on her? #I feel like this outfit is what causes her to take a serious sanity hit LOL #she just drags him away by the hood and no one sees them again for like 4 hours #or she's just like “You know what I think he could use my help :)” and proceeds to be everything but helpful #idk how anything in this regime gets done I swear #the most Baatar ever used the mech suits was when they were first being built #idk dude I love a man in a working uniform sobs #I knew someone would recognize the mech pilot suit hehe that made me smile because yeah :))) #it felt good to draw Baatar again sobs I love him so much I've missed him #I do kinda wish this sketch was cleaner but I wanted to at least post it now in case I never did lol #I should to a proper illust of him in the pilot suit one day just for the pure self indulgence of it all #give myself a lill treat you know? ] #Neon Ocean Art

do you ever feel too scared to line a wip ..like it makes you feel really nervous (even if its digital)

#been feeling this alot lately 😭 Its why ive been drawing soooo slow #ithink there is something wrong with me #it takes hours just to line One thing bc my brain just Does Not want to do it

[gorespawn]

i honestly really love reading your tags on the art you rb!! you're so enthusiastic about each piece and your comments help me to enjoy the art even more tbh!!

oh me too! it's so easy to just scroll scroll scroll and look like 3 seconds at someone's art, think "cool" and hit 'like' and then forget about it. when i write these comments i'm forced to pause and think why i like it. so it really makes me enjoy the art more too! it's part of the reason why i keep doing it now that i've gotten in the habit!

#also it's of course also so much fun when some of the artists reply back and say that the comments made them really happy #like what did it take for me to write my thoughts out? a minute? and how many hours did they spend drawing? #and the guro community is an art community i really love! i really love guro art and everything that the artists here come up with! #i wouldn't want it to die out so what is an extra minute of attention for me huh #..the last reason why i do it for every single piece is like. imagine being the only artist without a comment on this blog... #like imagine seeing someone reblog your art and tagging it with ''cool! looks great!'' and then you go on their blog and see my other tags #that'd be so much worse than not commenting at all like why the fuck does tumblr user gorespawn hate me and only me #i'm kidding but i'm not #answered #anon

spent the whole day rendering a fake book cover for my ocs and I’m only halfway done,,,, arghhhh

#when I finish I’ll stick the polished version on my main art account #but this wip is driving me nuts #I managed to watch two movies and half of frieren in the time it’s taken me to get this far in #why does it take so long to draw #made a whole ass ‘wiki page’ for them on toyhouse too #tbh it’s all Riyuan’s fault. she’s the hardest to draw. can never quite get her clothes and hair right #<- (I say like I didn’t make her design myself…) #if this cover was just Yuqing I would’ve been done hours ago #alas. what kind of cover doesn’t have the protagonist on it #anyways. my new year’s resolution is to do more OC stuff for myself. so here it is lol #okay time for sorting tags —> #clear days faraway rain #my ocs #wip #my art

Just giving an update regarding my Ko-fi requests and Regular commissions!

Just giving an update regarding my Ko-fi requests and Regular commissions! I just woke up but I'm already tired so I can't make a more proper paragraph…ing.

I might have failed to emphasize that unlike Regular commissions, Ko-fi requests are time-based. The amount of time I'm given to draw your request will depend on the amount of Ko-fi tip you give. (You must understand, I can't draw fully colored 20 panels with many full bodies for $12, even if it's my rough and more simple drawing style. Them just having busts/half bodies and maybe one or two full bodies, maybe, sure. But I literally can't do all of that under 12 hours. ). And the speed at which I draw is not consistent.

Ko-fi request details here Regular commission details here [Still under construction]

$1-2 tips will now only be limited to around busts (can still be more than one character though). However we might be able to work around to more body parts shown if I believe it's necessary for the message of the image to be delivered.

I'm pretty sure I can open busts and half body Regular commissions halfway of next month (September). But it is still to be determined if I can do knees and full body.

Not that related (but could be?), there are times or days I'm offline. I could be asleep. I could be at work. I could be avoiding the internet to avoid distractions. (Oftentimes I actively refuse to go in Instagram because it bombards me with cat videos. XD)

I learned the laptop I'm using is not upgradable, and it's basically telling me it could die any moment. Which means must save for a new one (I'm recommended a gamer laptop); which means it's time to activate Grind! I am so going to be super busy for the next months. Also I have been considering saving for a display tablet. I'm using a super cheap Viekk screenless drawing tab and I've been satisfied with the product. so I was also wondering if their display tab is fine too.

#my shiz #ugh what is this. It's particularly laggy today it's taking me one hour to write this. #I missed Viekk's discount this month #commission details #my commission deets #commission #Oh no. Why does Tumblr look like this now????? #I've never actually felt this disappointed even when Deviant Art went corporate looking. #I'm crying. Why am already I SO tired???? I don't have time to be tired right now. Why does my body keep betraying me?????? #I draw so slow. If I was fast believe me there would've been significantly more connverse. #Oh! I have mentions and asks. I promise to get back to it later. Just doing something rn.

Little Leo

So I saw the post were it says Leo has no idea what's going on, and I just wanted to make my own interpretation of that.

@somerandomdudelmao

#rise leo #riseofthetmnt #cass apocalyptic series #Hes so tiny #I feel like he would sense them but not be sure if it was them #WHY DOES THIS ACTUALLY LOOK DESENT?? #My art usually sucks #@somerandomdudelmao #My normal work takes me and hour at least and I made this in 20 minutes #The adrenaline to draw got to me #I NEED LEO TO SEE RAPH AND DONNIE ITS KILLING ME #Casey better see his father figure uncle sensei soon

I love drawing in charcoal because when you're in the beginning of a work, instead of looking like something reasonable it's perfectly acceptable and natural for them to look like this

#does that look like anybody you know #tales from diana #(c'est moi) #i was trying to redraw brian protheroe (the same pic of him as edward iv i sketched roughly--and p badly--last month) #in charcoal. bc my mom got me charcoal PENCILS for christmas instead of sticks of vine #which were what i really needed. i dont like to use pencils hardly at all #it was an utter failure. i started off by just trying to do the basic contours of his face + neck + the crown #and then after about 20-30 minutes when i had an ok start i was like ill take a break to refresh my head #went away from it for like an hour. and was like why dont i just try it w the vine #i thought i would improve it. and i suppose i could've if i had REALLY tried #but i was exaggerating the proportions and making the worse while trying to fix them. everything got larger #and i was essentially erasing EVERYTHING i started with while i was trying to even them out #so i just gave up. lol #a girl has learned to quit while she's ahead. and she learned the hard way. #but i wasn't happy to just leave off that drawing a failure wo any plans to do something else #so i went looking through my photos on my phone and found a pic from nov. 2022 that i was going to use #as a reference pic for a figure drawing assignment that i was going to use. but my professor allowed me to draw #my grandmother instead of myself. so i never did that dramatic self-portrait assignment. i did a dramatic grandmother portrait #but i did like the dramatic-lighting picture i took of myself well enough and figured i would draw it someday #im just leaving this as a started picture for now. this wasnt much work at all maybe like 15 minutes #it's an ok start. #bc of the fucked up nature of forming a charcoal drawing i have to admit i usually like my progress pictures more than my final works. lol #like they just have a sort of monstruous edge to them. lol

Made Razor’s Puppy Paw Hash Browns! Keep in mind, I’m not the greatest cook. I had to outline the paw in ketchup

#genshin impact #razor genshin impact #razor gi #specialty foods #this legit took me three hours #i’m not exaggerating #why does making shapes with hash browns take so much effort #anyways my family took some of my food for themselves and I was trying to not stab them with a fork #I’m gonna go draw now bc I’m tired as all hell

When you get hit by a random powerful wave of nostalgia for like your first fandom ever

#brb gonna rewatch all of teen titans (after i do work for 7 hours sob) #my brain today is like: yo. you should draw a modern redesign of joey #because besides beast boy (ofc - BEST boy) he's my favourite character and so underrated #disabled icon?? who is also kind of traumatized and caught between good and evil?? the son of a villain?? why does no one remember jericho #like?? does anyone remember him??? hello?? #sometimes teen titans comes back and hits me in the face y'know. happens a lot. #i had to take out my 18 year old beast boy figure for emotional support after writing this asdfgfdfs #do it for her - except it's a plastic beast boy from 2005 with chewed bits #also 18??????? years old??????????? #one time i left him out in the sun and he started to bend like jelly bc he almost melted and that was my first panic attack #i thought he was gonna DIE and i was prepared to go with him #my asshole friend at the time also pulled his hand off (it does not naturally come off) and my nana hot glued it #- second panic attack right there. #i do not have a jericho action figure unfortunately. i don't think they ever made them. BUT i did make a doll of him myself. #the 7 year old beast boy fan to genderqueer adult pipeline is STRONG.
