my heart is filled with love this day

alrighty folks, i'm gonna go on a RANT here (positive)

since i'm a writer and an artist, i tend to absorb a lot of media through comics, especially webcomics (since they're free). but the thing about that is, since i'm absorbing the art of others, i use them to improve based off of comparison. so! i'm gonna hype up some artists and writers whose stories i really love, since they're on here and they have stuff they've made outside of their comics (or on the off chance that you know about me and not them, v unlikely, go check these amazing people out!!!)

Red @comicaurora has a webcomic called (you guessed it) Aurora! she balances comedy and emotion SO WELL and some of the panels are so breathtakingly gorgeous (especially towards the later episodes, it's so long). she also has a youtube channel run with a collaborater, Overly Sarcastic Productions, which absolutely rocks. i highly recommend especially for lighting, body language, and expressions on the art front, and for character dynamics and worldbuilding on the writing side of things!

@quark-art / @earth2068 has a webcomic called Earth2068! it has literally made me almost laugh out loud in a public place, which is very hard to do! all of their characters are such little goobers (positive) but it doesn't detract from the story at all! it adds to it like salt in hot chocolate (i tried it i was skeptical too trust me salt your hot chocolate). i recommend her for seeing how to stylize anatomy (especially for fat people, mr leon valakos is the ideal man) and overall design (weapons, little robot guys, people, etc) on the art side, and character distinction and worldbuilding on the writing front!

they're both so so so good i may add more to this list eventually but check these out now if you haven't already!!!

hmm artists what feature do you draw on the face first. this is for science btw.

#it goes like this: #head shape+jaw -> eyebrows bc expressions are my lifeblood -> eyes or nose -> whichever of those i didnt just do -> mouth #sometimes i might be more concerned abt facial composition and draw eyes first #usually thats for flynn and leon bc for some reason their face proportions give me trouble sometimes

got a lot of art from various ttrpg campaigns im in that i just never posted? so heres just all of it

campaign / character info under the cut:

1: thats milly! shes my character in a middle earth campaign i recently joined. shes a hobbit warden, which is basically a bard minus spellcasting. shes talky

2: atmos is a poppet kineticist (air/water) in a pathfinder 2e rp server i joined, theyre nonverbal and filled with rage

3: ACE-9, an autognome (flavored as a different race called "cairnicks") warlock/wizard (hexblade/war magic) i made for a one-shot. despite being a warlock/wizard, she was the tank of the party bc she had crazy high AC, which drove my dm crazy (hi @arclundarchivist <3). she ended up sacrificing herself to save her AI patron

4-5: ive posted about zaltus before, hes my leonin cleric, the other guy in those doodles is andanan, the paladin in the party, who zaltus has a weird crush on bc he reminds zaltus of his wife (seen in 8)

6: zaltus got wasted one session and was super normal

7: zaltus is a sub. moving on

8: zaltus's wife was super hot but shes dead now bc zaltus got zorped 600 years in the future. sad

9-11: buoy is an owlin barbarian character ive got prepared for a campaign way in the future that im still playing with the design for

12: joey is my backup character for another campaign the same DM is running, shes a human ranger and she loves pokemon!

13: jacob is an npc from that same campaign, hes a conspiracy theorist who is unfortunately uniquely incapable of seeing supernatural stuff

14: same campaign, these are the folks in the highschool dnd club joeys in. the witches think they have magic and dont, the hunters think magic is real and are right. they hate each other

15-16: a scene from another campaign from the same DM, in the same universe as zaltus! ive posted about chomphuphan, my ursine cleric, and the other character is jengen, the barbarian in the party whos sorta choms father figure now

17: chomphuphans adoptive brother is named onkhot and he broke his leg protecting chom from bandits. theyre angsty

18: jengen had long hair and i didnt know this when i drew him initially. anyway he and chom are friends and jengen drinks fire resistance potions to bang fire giant ladies
