Pretty sure being on a constant Cult of the Lamb run is kinda draining my creativity so I’m gonna be drawing more random stuff from various fandoms cause I do what I want, but it just brings more food to the table for you guys cause I have many hyper fixations at once so I can’t merely focus on one and throw away the rest.
It strains at my creative senses if I just stick to a singular fixation of mine that is underdeveloped especially if I have a story/au for it. For instance like the beyond the shores au of mine for COTL which is a WIP so do be patient with my ass like with the Leshy’s Blossoming comic and all the other small comics I’m working on
which are JUST IDEAS TO A BIGGER THING so please wait as I get the, out slowly as my life is quite busy with school
Also do know I procrastinate on art and tend to move to one project after another so PLEASE- if you are genuinely interested in my cult of the lamb, ask questions I BEG OF THEE QUESTIONING DOPAMINE
Working on a project to make CONVENTION EXCLUSIVE keychains and stickers and prints!! I’ve just started designing some One Piece stuff so be on the look out for that!
It’s genuinely difficult to learn another language when one of the best ways to do so is speaking it on a frequent basis.
There are Japanese students in my school, but do I know any of them?
No
I can try going up to one, but am I just supposed to guess who is Japanese and who may be of a different ethnicity?
Hell no
Am I gonna try speaking in Japanese even if I know who is Japanese?
No since I’ll probably embarrass myself in front of some random students who don’t know why this random teenager is trying to talk to them in Japanese.
i love making fanart and quoting my own fic that i will never post to the public (because its all an incoprehesivable mess) anyways shout out to my GOAT inabakumori after listening to i am rain my cotl fixation was restored to 100% bless
YOOOO EVERYONE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ARTIST THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
COTL fanart!
Started this as a simple way to get rid of my art block and ended up with 8 fully rendered drawings somehow, i wasnt even planning on drawing backgrounds lol
also sorry for the long post (it will be even longer next time)
If I may ask, how do you draw transformers and what’s the step process in your way of designing them as you do for your Zenith au? It’s hard finding good tutorials or guides to drawing these suckers and my attempts, especially the face, are BUGGING me
Honestly like everything else it's just a learning process! This might be advice that sucks but honestly learning 3D art has helped me draw transformers a lot! Once you start visualizing everything in a 3D space you're able to draw cubes (honestly half what transformer designs are) really easy.
Doing studies and getting references is also super important. I recommend getting a character from the comics and making a reference sheet of them. See how they're put together, small details about the shapes (this is when you can pick and choose what design elements to keep)
Here's my personal study of Deadlock:
Even in my own study you can see my knowledge of 3D shapes helps a lot.
Once you do it for one character you'll notice a lot of characters have very similar design features. Once you learn to draw Tailgate's face you can draw Rewind's, Cerebros, Blast Off, etc. A LOT of the faces and bodies are similar.
And of course... Practice. I have easily drawn over 100 robots in the last 4 months. If you're drawing and studying everyday you will improve.
But funny enough the Zenith designs all started because I wanted designs that were easier to draw since they're very simplified and rounded shapes, a lot like TFA. They're for when I'm feeling lazy and just wanna draw some simple fun designs!
How I design them? Ehhh I just look at every gen and pick and choose what I like and what I can add. Idk really know how to explain my design process, music and scribbling I guess.
Starting off with the first batch of followers in the Beyond the Shores au of mine!
Info below for each character
Collie: Collie is the yellow cat in this AU of mine and works on the farm for the cult. Collie has quite a plentiful amount of knowledge about anything vegetation and agriculture. He is quite a hard worker and enjoys the company of Leshy whenever he decides to come out of the ground after scaring his fill of the other followers. He originates from Darkwood and was rescued by "Lambert" before getting sacrificed for the bishop worshipped there, he doesn't know who was the bishop there however.
Samara: Samara, also known as Sam, is a Hyena-Tiger hybrid and was cast out from their home in Anura due to their appearance and was labelled as a freak of nature. Samara works mainly as a missionary and always comes back with the most amount of resources out of all other missionaries in the cult. She is an odd follower as she isn't much of a socialite nor does she wish to take part in any rituals that are occurring. She never worships either, and if "Lambert" tries to read her mind, they end up with blank results.
Victoria: Victoria is a hedgehog and is the best chef you can ever enjoy food from. She loves to cook but also loves to gossip about any drama or tea that is spreading around the cult. She is quite the strict and harsh woman in the kitchen and hates whenever anyone wastes food, so you better have an empty bowl before you can go back to work and worship The Lamb. She is also married to the cult's Bull, Benjamin. Victoria comes from Anchordeep and was rescued after her home was ravaged by heretics of the Bishop Kallamar.
Benjamin: Benjamin is the biggest follower out of all the mortal members of the cult. He works in the Lumberyard and is the most intimidating follower in the cult. Although he may be quiet and big, he really has a soft and cuddly heart when he opens up to any of his inner circle of friends. He always looks forward to when he can eat as to always enjoy his wife Victoria's cooking. When he lived back in Darkwood, he was the weakest of the bulls in the village and was captured by heretics because of it. Only to get taken in by The Lamb.
Franky: Franky is an albino rabbit and works in the refinery. They are a quick and hyperactive worker in the cult and one of if not the most colourful! They love to play around with their outfit and wearing the rainbow all the time. He always wanted to be more colourful like the other followers, so they started to apply colourful powders onto himself to use the fur he had as a blank canvas. They are quite the chatterbox and love to pick up any conversation with anyone, though they stay from specific followers either being scared or intimidated by them. He was rescued from Silk Cradle after almost being sacrificed by heretics of the Bishop Shamura.
