i thought it might be an interesting change of pace to have a blog theme that isn't fucking ugly

color scheme is kind of a work in progress because it's difficult to strike a balance between "pretty" and "won't make all my art look weird" but we persevere

#the lemon speaks #it will probably change at least a few times this week as i try stuff out #didn't actually mean to commit to changing it yet but i accidentally set it as something Ten Times Worse for a minute there #so i needed to at least throw something okay looking down LOL

i'm doing artfight this year, btw! the site's going through it today but i'm finelyagedlemons on there as well

i'm team vampire! i'll be doing my best to attack back and hopefully i'll be able to get a couple more oc refs up there within the next few days

follow me if you're doing it too and we can kick each other's asses c:<

#the lemon speaks #haven't been posting partly because i've been scrambling to get some decent looking refs together LOL

my favorite thing about that devilman/999 redraw i did is that it predictably never gets a steady stream of notes because it's so absurdly niche, but also, because it's so absurdly niche, the people who do periodically find it and appreciate it are going nuts that it even exists

just went through and discovered i was missing a number of other image descriptions actually. it looks like posts from prior to the alt text update aren't able to be edited to add it, unfortunately, but everything from the 2023 batch should now have id in alt and i plan to continue including them going forward! please give me a shout if i ever upload something new that's missing an id

ah, my bad, forgot to put the image id in the alt text on that last post! should be there now

#the lemon speaks #i may check if it's doable from mobile? but it may take some time just to get everything typed up

that tr commission is picking up a little bit of traction with actual tr fans which is Very Funny to me because i don't go there and didn't come up with the joke. whole time i was drawing it i was like "well i know liese well enough to know that this is probably funny" so seeing people enjoying it i at least feel like i've been a successful vessel for the joke

#glad i tagged her after all it would have felt like stolen valor if i hadn't LMAO #happy to have pleased the swords fandom. i feel like a little court jester #the lemon speaks

[finelyagedlemons]

meme redraw commission for my friend @gottfrieds!

#lemons.png #touken ranbu #mikazuki munechika #shishiou #finished comm #3/20/2023 #never played this game but i like its dedication to ruining the google searches for actual historical swords #i find it funny that that's always a consequence of these kinds of...loose historical fiction-adjacent games #sorry to @ you on two social media platforms btw liese LOL

the beautiful thing about being an artist is you can draw anything you want. anything at all

#i have to credit my roommate for the idea on that one. that was all him #the lemon speaks
