when i watched the latest dungeon meshi episode i opened the tumblr tag and saw someone call him unredeemable

#the caption is lighthearted - someone just had a strongly negative view of him and that's okay i'm also a hater sometimes #since i like his pathetic swag i got curious and read the reply of the other person who said ''nah the author doesn't hate him that bad'' #i hope he continues to be cringe #dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi fanart #shuro dungeon meshi #toshiro nakamoto #digital sketch #my art

Two more despair icons! Apparently @cr0sscutter wanted to see Keith... ... a little birdie told me this won't be his only physical appearance in Fabricated Despair, though (*/ω＼*)

Drawing Akiro, a character I'm pretty much drawing all the time, has helped me notice how different my process is for this series from my usual drawings. Since these icons will be used alongside the Danganronpa-style art for Murder Fabrication, despite drawing them in my artstyle, I've been careful to stay on a similar scale to Murder Fabrication's sprites. This has made drawing jaws and hair a fairly different process. It's still my artstyle, but looking at Keith for example - staying on-scale with his sprite meant making his jaw look a little rough with that hairstyle, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, because it's meant to be a little off-putting compared to his usual.

Aaaah, I never know what to think of my Andi drawings. I have such high expectations for her and there's always something wrong, you know? ... In any case, here is my best shot at her Fabricated Despair icon! And with her... A mysterious character who has yet to be revealed? 🤔

Well, all that matters is that she is very loved.

Dear future Jan, looking for what she drew each month: I haven't been posting every thing . sorry

I want to continue drawing my Fabricated Despair cast's icon series~ I went through a rough patch recently but I'm slowly getting back into studying and creating. Of course, the "studying" thing means I can't create as much as I want. Which is unfortunate when you're already juggling with creating a thousand different things. Anee way who's reading this‼

Practys with ALYS

This piece turned out a bit bland, but it was good practice, and it was my first time drawing ALYS. Composition-wise, I'm happy with it. I'm really tired as I finish it, though, and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with its colours.

Hi again! Here is Ciel's finished portrait, as well as a certain soldier's and... what's that...? A character who has yet to be revealed?! ＼（〇_ｏ）／

I'm about halfway done with these icons... So far so good. That shadow-character looks really fun, so it's a shame someone (it's me, I'm someone) hasn't introduced them yet.

I've made good progress on Ciel's (despairingly detailed) portrait, but I'm seriously not feeling well at all, so since I don't plan on becoming an Ultimate Despair myself, I'm taking a break and only sharing with you the mysterious "Fortune Teller" （＾∀＾●）ﾉｼ

I'm just now realising that... perhaps... how impossible my screen tablet makes it to work with dark colours may have played a role in the evolution of my colouring style since 2020

#i've played with the settings guys idk what to do #best i can do it turn it off and just look at my regular screen #it's much better on my eyes and i can see what i'm doing with dark colours #but i'm basically just using it as a non-screen tablet atp - which is a lot less accurate #// #not art #not a drawing

#i feel like i'm insufficient at everything #but with the brush i use #applying flat colours is tedious and it's the most boring part #this is why when people suggest “just doing flats and then doing the shading if we have time” makes me feel like a pariah of society #just doing the shading would be easier and a lot more fun for me #// #reblog #not art #not a drawing

(February 18) I participated in an art trade with @froggoli and drew her OC Bai Lin! This might be a little weird (and I have yet to learn how to all-screen-proof such a piece) but the light theme of this character inspired me to experiment.

Thank you to @froggoli for the opportunity~ From a reference by AdorkaStock!

(I don't know why I'm more confident with the way it looks *inside my drawing program* before being exported? I don't think it looks different. Maybe my brain is playing tricks on me.)

And my second batch of Fabricated Despair icons is these two childish girls. Isabella by my own request (though I'd like to draw her full design too... It's one of my favourite and her clothes and acting really tie the look together) and Mina per @cr0sscutter's. (I'm going to draw them all but they're the only person I managed to coax into telling me about a fave design I should prioritise.)

I think the first batch remains my favourite so far, but I put Isabella and Mina's designs across fairly well ☆⌒(*＾-゜)v

You can save all three of them, but you have to sacrifice your life in exchange. Will you do it?

First batch of a new project to draw icons for each Fabricated Despair design! (Excluding side characters - this includes Mrs. and Mr. Lynn - for now.) These three characters were described in text form, so hopefully, you already had an idea what they looked like. If by any chance anyone reading this has also read Fabricated Despair and has a favourite design, please let me know and I may prioritise it!

Isn’t it “A”? No, isn’t it “B”? Isn’t it ex“C”ellent that everyone’s different? What is LOVE to you Was always HATE to me

Isabe... Isja.... Jabella...? It sounds too much like "glabella".

I took the last of my antibiotics today. \(￣︶￣*\)) I started this drawing on the day the song released, but I was only able to finish it today (for antibiotics reasons).

I always intended this to be a simple drawing, but I wound up doing an amazing job with the hands in particular for some reason??? I drew both of them in one go with only the song as a reference. By the way, Jan's earring is normally on the other ear, but I am known to draw it on the wrong ear for convenience + to get his design across + both his ears are pierced anyway + L + ratio

(Why are you hiding away? Are you afraid of being laughed at? Do you not want to see anyone? Is that the truth?)

I tried to participate in the evil art style challenge! Since I received very few prompts, I figured it was alright if I just drew a low effort piece （￣︶￣）↗　In all seriousness, thank you so much to those who submitted ideas!

Those were: - the Soul Eater nose - soft colours - half tones

All of which were a definite call-out. I decided to go with a character I draw a lot, being Akiro! But I think I might have shot myself in the foot by picking one of my OCs - I have very specific ideas of how they should be drawn... Going for this angle probably didn't help showing off my attempt at drawing a different nose, lol. (More details under the cut!)

Here's what I tried to do: - not Soul Eater nose (which is torture btw. It was very difficult to feel satisfied moving on to colouring when I felt like I'd drawn the nose wrong.) - I tried to go for full on dark/saturated shading at first but to be honest, it looked like shit. So what I did instead was use overall brighter shades than usual, made use of it being Akiro (a man who blushes) to have redness all over the skin, and integrate the full opacity in some key places. - I kept a dark lineart, because colouring it & lowering its opacity largely contributes to the "soft" aspect of most of my drawings.

I think I might have failed the challenge because this looks soft as shit OTL Why did I have to pick A-

Hang on a minute.

I'm a very sleepy woman and have been for many days but I wanted to join the war on the Ignatov family on the side of the Ignatov family (read: sketch Akira for the first time, hoping to draw him more in the future)
