Congrats on 200 bunny!!!! You deserve it 🌸
Can I ask for a Hotch request pls? You can literally write anything you want, any prompt, but pls do the classic ‘we’re barely friends and oops there’s only one bed in this hotel room’ bc it’s my fave trope ever!!
“there’s a first for everything”, they say
Tumblr media
pairing: aaron hotchner x bau!black!fem!reader
prompts used: 40) “I love the way you look with my fingers inside you.” 58) “Do you know how beautiful you are? It’s truly distracting.” 93) “It’s okay, honey, you can pull my hair as hard as you want while I’m between your legs.” from the 100 smut prompts!
summary: hotch invites you and the rest of the BAU on a vacation to the Bahamas, but his demeanor changes when he sees you and interacts with you outside of the professional setting for the first time.
wc: 1855
tw: pining (mentions of it), teasing, dirty talk, oral sex, p in v sex, mentions of sex, smut in general
a/n: i literally could not find a good gif for this so this will do! also this is a combination of another fic idea that i had so i kinda put a bit of a twist on this, i still hope you enjoy marley!! ❤️ @angelhotchner
criminal minds masterlist! ✯ taglist!
✯✯✯✯
The BAU had finally gotten vacation time, and all you wanted was to go home and sleep for 24 hours. But when Hotch invited you and the rest of the BAU to the Bahamas, it was hard for you to say no.
You wondered how it would go since you never really interacted with Hotch outside of cases, but maybe he might actually talk to you on a different level.
Then again, you were barely friends with him, acquaintance at most.
When the time finally came to pack for the trip, it was much harder than expected. After about 3 hours, you finally had your suitcases and your carry-on packed and ready to go.
Finally, you and the rest of the team were on the plane. To your luck, you and Hotch were sitting next to each other, with you at the window seat.
“Hey.” he smiled after settling down. You turned and smiled back at him and said hey back.
You couldn’t help but notice how good he looked. Like really good. His polo was doing him justice showing off his buff arms and chest, and his hair was fluffed to perfection. God, even his hands caught your eyes. His hands were big and veiny and you had recurring thoughts of him putting those hands to work.
On you.
Stop it, you told yourself.
You and Hotch were quiet the beginning of the flight, but you soon engaged in intriguing conversation with him. From expressing feelings about taking a break from all the gore that was part of working at the BAU, to sharing favorite scenes of movies that the both of you watched, that was the first non-work related conversation you’ve had with him.
And it felt amazingly natural, despite the bits of awkwardness in between.
The flight had a 55 minute layover in Miami, which you didn’t know about until you heard on the intercom, which woke you up from your rather comfortable nap.
That was when you noticed you had been napping with your head resting against Hotch’s arm. You quickly sat up and made sure he didn’t notice.
So much for barely friends.
During the layover, you curled up in a chair doing some digital art pieces on your iPad while eating lunch. You made it clear that you didn’t want to be bothered by anyone by putting in your headphones.
Hotch included.
You felt too embarrassed to talk to him after finding out you slept on him.
And didn’t even do anything about it.
He probably felt some type of way.
Or not.
You didn’t even bother figuring out his feelings, instead you spent the rest of the flight making mental notes of what you would do when you finally arrived.
✯✯✯✯
Bikinis were Hotch’s weakness. Well bikinis on you.
How did you know that?
You noticed that he couldn’t help but stare at you from the moment you took off your coverup, and when you walked past him at the beach, when you were resting on your beach chair talking with Penelope and Spencer, or alone reading a book, when you were playing beach volleyball with him, Morgan and JJ, and even when you were sipping on martinis with Rossi and Emily. Other people were checking you out too, but it seemed like Hotch was checking you out the most, admiring how beautiful the baby pink bikini looked against your golden chocolate skin.
So much for barely friends right?
The beach outing with the whole team was fun and you enjoyed your time there but you left the beach earlier than expected, spending some time alone shopping in nearby areas around the hotel. There was no reason in particular, you just liked spending time with yourself any chance you could.
You got back to the hotel room you were sharing with Hotch due to availability reasons, and quickly rid yourself of your clothes besides your bra and underwear and prepared to shower.
Until you realized that you forgot to bring your robe. bonnet and shower cap with you in the bathroom.
Hotch just so happened to walk in just as you were looking for it.
“Y/N, are you sleeping in that?”
“Oh shit!” you yelped, scrambling to cover your body. He came over to you after dropping his stuff on the ground. “Sorry,” you said sheepishly.
“Hey.” he whispered. “It’s just me.”
You felt yourself calm down instantly, but it just increased the level of awkwardness between you and him. After your shower, you got dressed for the night, which consisted of an oversized shirt and a pair of boy shorts, and relaxed in bed reading a book.
Hotch laid down next to you about 30 minutes later and you fell asleep moments after.
✯✯✯✯
Waking up in the middle of the night, you felt a warm body lean against you. You turned and gasped in fear until you realized it was Hotch.
"Y/N? Are you okay?" Hotch asked, turning around and placing his hand on your shoulder.
"Yeah sorry, I forgot I was sharing a bed with you for a moment." you breathed.
"I'm sorry I scared you out of your sleep."
You shook your head and turned back around. "It's not your fault."
It was silent between the two of you for a bit, and then Hotch reached over to massage your shoulders. It felt nice, you haven't had a massage in a while, if not ever. It was as if Hotch knew what you needed, what you were thinking about. A slight moan escaped your lips from how good it felt.
"Is that turning you on Y/N?" Hotch chuckled.
"No, it just feels really good."
Liar. It’s turning you on.
"I can make you feel good in other places, if you want."
“Oh, so that’s what we’re doing now?” you said, turning to face him with a smile on your face.
Hotch didn’t reply, instead he pulled you a bit closer to him and caressed your cheek.
“Do you know how beautiful you are? It’s truly distracting.”
“I do, but please remind me.”
He went into specifics about how he’d been admiring you from a distance and how he was scared to become close friends with you and screw it up.
“Y/N, you truly faze me.” he said at the end.
You felt your cheeks burning up at Hotch practically confessing his love to you. Without notice, he pressed a kiss on your lips. You went back in for more, and next thing you knew, you were on your back with Hotch’s hand lifting up your shirt. You helped him take it off, and there you were, almost naked again in front of him.
“Suddenly you don’t seem so shy to be naked in front of me.” he smiled.
“That’s because before, I was pretending that I didn’t like you.”
“Oh, so you like me.” Hotch murmured in between kisses to your clavicle.
You wanted to respond, but Hotch’s fingers were inching to your boy shorts and you felt yourself clenching up by his touch, so a smile was the best you could have done in the moment.
And next thing you know, they’re off.
You helped Hotch out of his clothes and the two of you were both naked.
In a hotel bedroom.
In the middle of the night.
You never thought you’d ended up this far with Hotch, let alone just being friends, or almost friends, with him. This was going through your mind as he was on top of you, kissing all over your body.
His hand was slowly trailing up your leg, then to your folds. He reached your clit and rubbed soft circles on it, all while pushing his pointer and middle fingers inside you.
With your past experience being intimate with other men, none of them ever made you feel this good with just their fingers. In fact, it was much different than you’ve ever experienced before.
“I love the way you look with my fingers inside you,” Hotch whispered, looking up at you.
You shuddered in pleasure when he said that, it felt reassuring.
He continued doing this through your first three orgasms. It got even more intense when he pulled his fingers out, devoured your juices and smashed his tongue on your opening. At this point you wanted to just grab fistfuls of his hair and moan at the top of your lungs.
Hotch being the profiler he is, knew exactly what you were yearning for.
“It’s okay, honey, you can pull my hair as hard as you want while I’m between your legs.” he said, looking up at you again with a quirky grin on his face.
Your hands were now full of his soft black hair, reaching the climax of your fourth orgasm.
Before you could reach another one, Hotch stopped what he was doing, laid down on the bed and pulled you onto his lap. You shuddered at the feeling of his hands on your waist.
“I want to feel you,” he whispered. “Can I do that?”
“Yes, please.” you pleaded.
He adjusted himself to your opening, and to say you were in shock would be an understatement. The initial thrust almost had you crying out for mercy the way it felt so good. A throaty groan escaped Hotch’s lips.
“You must be enjoying this,” you said.
“I am. You’re so good to me.”
That made you blush as you loved words of affirmation.
It was like Hotch knew everything about you. He knew all the right things to say, and all the right places to touch you. In a way, his job as a profiler never ended.
He switched positions so that he was on top of you, passionately looking into your eyes while doing so. He was the one with the mastery in eye contact.
At this point, you already knew the bonnet was off and the knotless braids you had in would get a bit frizzy at the top. But you didn’t care. Hotch was making you feel better than ever, filling that certain void in your life.
He had your legs up and thrusted into you with everything in him, and it made you moan in a way you never imagined you could do.
Another climax was approaching and you could feel it. You came faster than expected with Hotch in your ear whispering for you to do it for him. Short moments later, he was right there with you with his high.
“So much for not even being friends.” You laughed softly.
Hotch pulled you into his arms and kissed you. “So much, huh?”
“What do you think the others are gonna say when they find out? I know one of them heard us.”
“I’m glad they heard. Maybe they’ll talk about how loud you got for me.”
That made you giggle.
“Anyways, my special agent, we have to sleep soon. Or there might be more rounds.”
And surely enough, the two of you slept in each other’s arms after cleaning up, and you slept way better than you did before being woken up.

I'm sorry this isn't a commission, but I just have a question about your art. Feel free to ignore this, of course. I was really amazed by your Miku drawing from December 16th. Seeing such a high-level piece, I wanted to achieve something similar, but no matter how much I try, I can't replicate your shading and highlights. I was so genuinely curious that I couldn't sleep. Could you possibly give me any hints or advice?
Hey, sorry for making you wait so much for this answer, i've been finishing some projects and i barely had free time. Anyways i'll try to do my best on explaing my coloring and lighting methos and you also asked me to explain how i create the folings of the clothes. Please take in consideration that 1 i am not native in english so it's a bit difficult for me to explain myself sometimes in this language and i may have some misspelings, sorry about that, and also 2 i am not great at explaing my drawing process bc i kind of turn off my brain when i draw lol, but i can explain the fundamentals that i know and help me create! Last thing i want to let you know is that i've started glazing my art, this is a metho to protect the images for AI images generators and it leaves a kind of pattern /effect on the image that i did not put there during the drawing process.
with all of this said let me start explaining things!
Learn the basics:
This may come as a cliche i guess, but yes my first ever advise to anyone is learn the basic theory on lighting and colors (on anything related to art tbh). You don't really need to spend a lot of money on books and such as there are lots of resources online like videos and documents you can read for free. It's not necesary to be an expert and even the smallest mount of knoledge is enought to inpruve your art a lot! , i find it very interesting to learn the way things work too so don't think you'll get bored of it!
To be frank, i am actually not very good at lighting lol. My lights and shadows are not very correct, but since i do have a lot o control over my colors and i know very well how to used them it kind of compensates and creates a very recognisable (i think) style.
just u know basic shitty advise that everyone is going to give you but it works! if you have free time try watching some videos or reading some documents about color theory shadow and lighting!
Your working space:
So this is something that works FOR ME not everyone likes it, you can try it see if you like it and if you do, cool! if you don't … that's cool too! When drawing on digital i prefer it when my base layer is grey instead of white. It helps with my headaches too but it's more about the fact that starting in a middle tone when coloring (in my opinion) makes the process of briging out both shadows and lights easier, let me give you an example:
Drawing from complete light (white) to compplete darkness (black) may condicion you to actually lose control in the contrast betwen these areas, i prefer staring in a middle place (grey) and that way is i want to show darkness i'll use a darkr color and if i want to show light i'll use a lighter color, but if i start on white i can't use anything lighter. I think i did a HORRIBLE job explaing myself there, but yeah it just helps me control my color valius a bit more lol.
this is the color that i used:
Tumblr media
Another inportant thing about your woking space is you brushes, in my case i prefer using textured brushes that mix well, and i prefer using very thick strokes, if it's too think i'll just color pick the transparent color and ease it! I work in CSP i don't know what you use, but just in case i'll give you the setiings of the brushes i use the most with their codes so you can find them
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sculpting with lights and shadows
As i said before, i am not very good with light yet, so this is something that i do to help me with the process. When you think about it, lighting is used in art to give volume to the piece, not in every case bc rules in art are not there to be followed but to asist us when we need to take a creative decision. The way that we can start with our Sculpting is by creating a very easy first guide othe the shadows and lights and to do it with very big block, so that we get the general shape first,we don't neet to get lost in the detailds yet
Tumblr media
The actual coloring
Tumblr media
When drawing my process is divided in three stages. I first create the doodle/lineart, that doesn't neet to be super neat as i will fix it during the rendering. The basic colors, and the rendering.
During the preparation for the rendering when doing the base colors i recomend that you give special atention to the focal points of your illustration, in this case for example that's her face and the top of the hair, that's why i gave so much more atention for this part in comparation to the shirt, that it's literally not shadowed yet. Then another step that i use normally before rendering and that i can NOT RECOMEND ENOUGHT!!!! GO WILD WITH THE COLOR CURVES!!!! OMG!!!! THAT STUPID LITTLE TOOL IS SO FUCKING COOL!!!!!!!!! like for real, it gives effects that i have not been able to achive in any other way and omggggggg use the fucking color curves pleaaaaaaseeeeee
ok i'm notmal again , lets continue.
For the rendering i usually convine all the layers of the drawing on one layer, then use a textured brush that has low opacity of mixes very well fot the actual work. Tbh here is very i can't really help you a lot, bc i have no idea what i'm doing when i render i just don't know, the only thing i recognise is that i try to esare or clean the lines from the doodle/lineart, and i focus a lot on creating volume in the places that are more important.
Skins
An specific thing that i do a lot when it comes to coloring skin is using an undertone in red (literally) I will put the basi color, use the brush to mark where i want shadows to be in a very vibrant red and then use a blue / green / pruple (depends on the skin) to finish the shadowing. Thios metho is nice for lots of occasions, but take in consideration that it doesnt work for example for very dark scenarios where the character is suppoused to be in the shadows, as that red tone works as a outline for the light. It just depends on the situation.
Tumblr media
Clothes foldings:
Ok so here the only thing i can give you an advise with is to remember that the way that clothes fold dependes on gravity and that gravity works in curves most of the time that have two (or more) attachment points that are going to determinate theit trajectory. Example:
Tumblr media
And remeber that this creates (again) a volume, that there is an inside part, that it's probably going to be draker, and an outside part, that it's going to be lightter. With this info you can start practicing with images of clothes.
Tumblr media
this is as much information as i am able to recolect on my coloring process bc i am horrible explaining , spacially on text and in english, and i am also not very much aware when i draw, i kind of disconect. I still hope this is enough to help you a bit on your learning journy.
I may try doing a video at some point if i ever have the time so i can explain my coloring while i actually do it bc if not in that situation i'm not sure i'll be able to remeber what it is that i did.
My last piece of advise is to watch speedpaints and livestreams of artists you like during their drawing process and maybe even tray to imitate them while they are drawing to see what it is that they do exccly.
hope you have a good day and lot of lucks ! be proud of being able to create and be proud of being an artist!

I know this isn’t quite how ranks work in Psychonauts canon, just go with it.
Tumblr media
[Image ID: The following is rendered in fuzzy digital pastel. Razputin Aquato–in his late teens, tall and skinny–lies breathless on his back on the ground, covered in sweat. He’s wearing sweatpants, a striped undershirt, and sneakers. His hair is disheveled, pushed back by his signature goggles. One of his eyes is a little higher than the other, now that he’s older. He stares upward with eyes wide, at his wit’s end. He lies in a white space, his colors graded dull blue. The foreboding cyan shadow of a three-digit number is projected over him: 206. End ID]
Raz has a problem.
He trains so hard to rank up his prowess as a psychic. He’s been training since the day he learned what a Psychonaut is. Now that he’s one of them, he sees diminishing returns for his efforts. That’s normal, they say. It gets harder over time. But he’s only 15, and it hasn’t changed in months. He’s way behind the other cadets his age, all approaching the 300s in their psychic specialities. Here he is stuck at 206.
This isn’t normal.
It’s not just about the number. There isn’t supposed to be a ceiling. A person can always improve, always extend themself to reach closer to their full potential. His mentors–his heroes, all well into the 1000s themselves–gave him a chance to be a Psychonaut because they saw so much of that potential in him. They were impressed that he picked up his first set of powers so quickly and used them to save the day nearly by himself–twice. What if that was the trick? He picks up a new discipline right away, then can’t advance it past a certain point. Hydrokinesis should be what he’s good at, but he’s barely better with it than anything else. That’s it. This is his potential. It was all a trick.
He lies awake at night, frantically weighing in anything that could be related to why. Anything he could do about it. He has often looked back on himself and thought that autism or ADHD or both could explain whatever being an enthusiastic little psychic nerd couldn’t. What if this is part of that? What if he can’t change it? His heart sinks.
He can’t hide it. They’ll all find out what he really is. What will they do if he can’t live up to the position he’s been awarded?
An old anxiety stirs. He doesn’t belong here.
Suddenly, Raz can’t concentrate. His performance falls below even his mediocre rank in practice, in study, in everything. He can’t even walk without tripping. His peers and mentors notice, though he insists that he’s fine.
It reaches a point where a couple of his teachers stop in their busy schedules and call him to sit down with them. That’s when the truth comes out. He tells them everything.
He waits nervously for their response.
They answer easily and say that he’s already proven his worth as a Psychonaut beyond any kind of rank or measure of raw power. His sense of duty, determination, willingness to learn from his mistakes, inventiveness, and compassion are what maximize the effectiveness of his psychic abilites–not to mention his unique skills as an acrobatic. If strength were all that mattered, none of them would be worthy of the abilities they wield.
Tumblr media
[Image ID: Raz sits up. The hole in the zero makes it look like the shadow has retreated until it’s almost all the way off of him, lingering at the top of his head. His eyebrows are raised, but he’s calmer–having made an epiphany. End ID]
He hadn’t thought of it like that.
After some rest, Raz goes looking for new psychic sensitivities–not in a desperate attempt to find the thing that will bring him up to par, but with all the curiosity of an adventurer in search of new discoveries. By the end of the year, he has achieved adequate command of a wide, wide range of disciplines and has begun experimenting with using them in tandem. “Power juggling” is a difficult art for most psychics. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and lose control. As it turns out, Raz thrives in that kind of chaos and is able to compartmentalize his focus enough to practically create new powers unto themselves, if for a very short time. He shakes the dust off of his acrobatics. It’s no longer a grueling requirement to please his family. It’s his now. Fun and challenging, a test of dexterity and flow. He quickly renews his skills and finds new ways to wrap his powers around them. The other cadets come and watch him practice just to see what wild shit he’s up to that day.
He feels alive. He feels like himself, now more than ever.
Tumblr media
[Image ID: Raz sprints out from under the shadow, turning to raise a middle finger at it with gleeful disdain. End ID]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image ID: The story shifts to a comic book sequence, also graded blue-green. Morceau Oleander has a green psychic shield raised to protect him, Milla Vodello, Adam Gette, and Norma Natividad from blue psychic needles that threaten to skewer them from above. The others use their own powers to try to fight the needles off, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. Someone talks over them. “Miserable fools.” A lanky white woman in a housecoat, plain shirt, sweats, and slippers with long billowing silver hair commands the scene from the center of some kind of pump room. Her arms are outstretched like a conductor. Her needles press buttons on control panels and hover menacingly over tied and gagged hostages. “I’ve had to devote my life to perfection to get this far,” she declares with triumphant superiority. We see her up close. She’s in her late 50s with sharp facial features and a high hairline, and she’s wearing a small earring on each ear. Her teeth gleam in a wicked smile as she shouts. “You have no idea of the sacrifice. The fortitude. I alone am qualified to correct the modern world’s failure to compete. Content weaklings like you don’t stand a chance. Just look at you.” She turns to face a shadowed corridor within a tangle of pipes behind her. “You can’t even sneak up properly.” Someone with angular shin-high boots runs down some steps deep in the corridor. That person– wearing black gloves and Sasha Nein’s old green jacket–uses orange psi power to draw water in the shape of a hand from a pocket-sized bottle. The hydro hand leaps forward toward the woman with its fingers outstretched. A coil of orange lighting snakes around it. Then, the hand freezes into an electrified claw. The hand is suddenly shattered on a horizontal needle that pops into existence. The woman sneers. “Ha!” The person uses the needle to swing forward and lunge out from the shadows feet-first. It’s Raz in his cool spy mission outfit. His boot folds the old woman in half by the stomach. She makes the dumbest surprised face, having been caught in her most confident moment. Raz looks determined and focused. Ice shards tinkle in the air around them. Raz then has her pinned on the floor. He has produced a helmet that looks like a Geodesic Psychoisolation Chamber from his jacket and plunked it on her head. “Did I break anything?” he asks, deadly serious. “My worldview is shattered,” she answers, bewildered. Raz pops into his excitable mode. “Oh! We can help with that.” He takes out a psi-portal. She turns to him and says, “Ok.” End ID]
------------
I keep rewording my commentary on this idea, so here’s the jumble:
I love the idea of protagonist syndrome. Main character kiddo is the specialest one of all who overcomes impossible odds or has a big cool unique ability. You see it all over magical/superhero kid cartoons. And then, that all collapses when they get older and change or can’t measure up and have to learn how to detach from the initial self-image and explore who they want to be (Steven Universe & Future, Venture Bros, my actual life experience if you can’t guess). I know it’s a little weird to poke holes in fun kids’ media and should be done with care. But I’m super interested in how protag syndrome applies to real life post-straight-A/sports star/Good Kid TM imposter syndrome. I wanna use this kinda thing as a framework to explore ways to be kinder to and happier with ourselves.
And just look at the boi. He’s doing so good.
Special guest appearance by the Noodler’s mean aunt, the Needler.
Tumblr media
[Image ID: The Needler–the woman described before–is depicted in an initial sketch in black and white. She looks annoyed, standing with her hands and fingers splayed out in an “evil wizard” kind of gesture. The image is a little simplified. She has no nose. End ID]

Molluck Watches
Tumblr media
Welp, I just said that I don't feel like doing any bigger projects but this didn't really feel like one since I painted this in grayscale minus that pink as a highlight colour. This is still kinda a sketch and I just don't feel like painting this anymore. But well, at least I have at least one drawing now that is suitable for the banner.
I don't know what else to really say than that yeah, Molluck is watching his huge TV wall in the dark here. There was no intention to do actual background since I wanted to keep this as simple and I just don't feel like doing anything detailed in digital right now. I have had an idea like this for a while but I would like to do something more proper related to this one day. I feel like I don't know about this but I tried my best. The main thing is just that I got a banner now.
Man, at the same time, I hate drawing but also love it and cannot stop creating stuff... I was going to say something more positive here but last night I felt so awful... Recently, I have just noticed like for the first time how happy Molluck actually makes me, how he is able to give me peace/serenity like no one else... I feel like I just keep loving this Gluk more and more. I don't really mind anymore if I'm seeing him as sweeter than he truly is since it just keeps me living in the middle of my mental health issues, he keeps me being able to feel good when barely anything else feels like anything.
Recently, I have also realized that it seems like I have actually learned to draw Molluck like only two weeks ago... But I still need more practicing but he is finally starting to look like himself or more like how I wish to draw him. But well, recently I have also thought that I should just give up with art, again, since it still feels like I know nothing about art or how 'professional art' is done... Like I have said many times, I have hard time with standing my own creations but I'm still posting them because I just like to create stuff.
Recently, when I felt like I cannot truly draw, should just quit it, it felt like my mind told me that Molluck would love my drawings about him and it just made me feel much better, even loved which is such a feeling I do like never feel. It has felt like that like for the first time ever, I was able to feel loved. I only know that I'm loved but I just cannot feel it. Maybe, even it has felt like my mind just keeps getting worse, there is still slow healing happening. It's still so difficult for me to think that I'm someone to love... I just felt like a mere human trash last night... I'm not having any professional help right now and I don't have resources to really get it more for now but I at least have Molluck. I basically am only able to draw because I just love this Gluk so much and that's why I only feel like drawing him.

Introduction to the artist
I am @lillazyboithings, or you may call me noodle, or any silly nickname that’s not mean
I am an artist for both traditional and digital mediums
I primarily use She/They pronouns but any pronouns are okay with me
If you have any art requests for me, feel free to send me an ask!
I primarily post Hatchetfield and occasional RTC art here but if you do see art from any other fandom then that was just me having a new hyperfixation to juggle with the others
More information below:
I only have Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest as platforms i also post art in (rarely) so if you are planning to repost my art on other platforms (i.e. Instagram, Reddit, Pinterest too, etc.) please ASK for my permission and credit me if you do plan on using them.
I am not particularly interested in conflict so i will mostly avoid it
Stuff i am interested in so far:
Ride the cyclone
Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared
Analog horror
Asian horror
Over The Garden Wall
Hatchetfield series
My Hobbies include:
Drawing
Reading (sometimes)
Gaming (only 2 rpg games so far and the rest are stuff to cure my boredom)
Writing (before anyone asks, i only write the stuff that comes to my head, i am not an actual writer, these are only for AUs i have-)
singing
Some extra information:
I am also a STEM student so if I disappear too long or act like i’m barely keeping it together, don’t worry about it, it’s just because of school work and activities related to them
Time zones are sometimes an issue for me since i am not American (specifically Filipino) so most of the time I am ahead of most people i know, timezone is GMT+8
I have a discord account but I am only found in like, 1 rtc related server and 2 public starkid servers (Because I literally don't know how to find more), so if you eventually find where I am in other places, uhhh, surprise-
I love listening to music but I mostly listen to rock or anything that vibes with me so if you have any song recommendations i might listen to them
I already made an Ao3 account just to read shit over there and comment
My brain now switches between Gary Goldstein, Nischa, Lautski, Michie, Paulkins, and Perfectdolls.
I swear a bunch but i try to limit it
You’re free to also send me random asks that are not requests, I’m gonna answer them
If you send me an ask game/tag me on a tag game, if I don’t answer that doesn’t mean i hate you, it just means I literally have no idea what to do/got really busy
I don’t know how to do a DNI but basically don’t be an asshole or a porn bot
I will occasionally post art of AUs that belong to mutuals of mine 
Possible general tags I may use:
Art tag: my art (i am uncreative, sue me)
Asks tag: noodleanswers
Text posts: noodles brain oodles
Reblog tag: none
Mutuals tag: moot time/moot appreciation
This is basically it, I guess? Will add more information if necessary, thank you for reading!

TUTORIAL/PROCESS ON..Uh… MY ART!!!
Using this recent drawing as reference!
Tumblr media
(Blueberror by @loverofpiggies )
OKAY HERE WE GO!
First off, I use procreate, and, surprisingly, NO custom brushes!! Almost all of them are default and you can find just by browsing around. And also, some of the tips are only on procreate, really sorry!! But i bet there are a lot of Ibis, CSP, Ect. equivalents!
BEFORE ART AND.. UHHH STUFF YOURE DOING IN THE BACKGROUND??
Almost ALWAYS when drawing, i have something happening/playing in the background like music, a show/movie that ive watched like a million times (Steven Universe), or maybe even an art stream (jakei my beloved /hj) Honestly anything in the background is nice!
More on that, if you like music, i totally suggest finding mood based playlists that is based on what youre drawing. So if youre drawing just cute fluff then put on something that reflects that!! Does it have any actual effect on the art itself? Probably not!! I just like it a lot LMFAO. You can even find tons of character related playlists on spotify you can listen to!
Also suggest having maybe a small art station somewhere! I personally have a small art area that i set up LITERALLY 2 DAYS AGO and i LOVE IT. Anywhere really works, it can literally be your bed!! I just really like the idea of somewhere dedicated to my hobbies, im a nerd :D
ALSO MAKE SURE TO STAY HYDRATED
I also suggest, especially if you tend to draw for long periods of time, to do hand stretches and stuff. (Above my desk i have a stretching guide thingy by @tizzymcwizzy that i suggest doing before during and after longer sessions)
SKETCHING AND FIRST PART OF THE PROCESS!!
First off, one thing that has always been a huge help has been keeping a sketchbook always to jot down ideas, especially in school when we’re not allowed on any personal electronics. I barely use it now that its summer, but it always has been a huge help keeping one with me almost everywhere i go! Plus, its always a lot of “woah eww” when looking back at old art, its kinda like a little archive!!
BUT THATS NOT WHAT YOURE HERE FOR PROBABLY
The big things youre thinking about when sketching down your ideas is NOT making it perfect. The sketch 99% of the time will look absolutely terrible and thats okay, and honestly preferred! Most of the time nobody will even see it, so dont worry about trying to make it look polished. Youre just trying to put the idea on the canvas, thats all youre focused on! Try to stay loose and simple!
Tumblr media
BACKGROUND (sometimes)
Fun fact: I usually go from sketch to background to lineart!
I do this for 2 main reasons: firstly, because doing the background can help establish the mood, and also mainly to help pick the colors later on! Although, a lot of the time i dont even do this lol, only for drawing where theres actually a background (im a fraud)
Also, for backgrounds, especially for things like landscapes, you want to try to work with big shapes to refined details, never just tiny sections at a time!
Heres the original background:
Tumblr media
LINEART
Cry. Cry until theres no tomorrow and hope that you make something worthy of looking at /j
OKAY ACTUALLY, HERES WHAT I TEND TO KEEP IN MIND:
Keep most lines in one big stroke, not many tiny ones
On digital, erasing is super easy, feel feee to over shoot your lines and erase back over
For things with more emphasis, make bolder lines, for example, the eyes or hands
If the lineart just isnt working out, feel free to literally just refine the sketch until it looks like lineart (I DO THIS A LOT)
Cry
Thats all I’ve figured out, lineart is still a mystery to me..
Tumblr media
BASIC COLORING!! (Yayy coloring the best part)
First what i do when putting down basic colors is just try to figure out what would be the best general colors, sometimes you can use those little dots on character sheets and use that to figure out what colors would look best together
Youre not going for perfect and youre just jotting down the colors, keep it messy n stuff, no refined details allowed!
After you finish putting down the colors, your new bestfriend in procreate (idk about other equivalents) is the curves, color balance, and hue saturation and brightness function (found in the second dot on the top row). These let you adjust the colors very easily!! I love them a lot!!!
Tumblr media
BASIC SHADING
(Sometimes)
Now, a lot of the time i use the basic Multiply layer method, where i just use a dark purple and set the layer to multiply, but recently ive been doing it a BIITTT differently
Basically, take the base color from the previous step and increase the saturation, and decrease brightness, like this:
Tumblr media
And then, lower the opacity of the brush down to MAYYYBEEE 5%, take that new color that you have, and take the… hue?? Maybe?? Like, blue green purple ect, but keep saturation and brightness mostly the same. Then, layer layer layer with those different colors, or dont! Use funky colors and shading in places where they shouldnt be, make it crazy!! Dont let it make sense!! There are no set rules for this part AT ALL!! Youre just having fun now! >:)
I totally suggest looking at @yo-honne s art for coloring inspiration. I base mine off theirs A LOT.
TEXTURING N STUFF!
Pro tip for this: spiderverse.
OKAY BUT ACTUALLY the spiderverse movies style is INCREDIBLE, i highly suggest just staring at it and taking mental notes on practically everything
For texturing, i tend to go kinda crazy. I like to use the grid and decimals brushes for shading and lighting respectively on procreate
For this part, you can use mostly random colors, and there are literally no rules!! Youre SUPPOSED to make it look crazy!! No rules man! Put it in random places and HAVE FUN! Go fast and try not to think much about what youre doing!! Dont use the right colors EVER!
Tumblr media
FINAL DETAILS AND TOUCHUPS
At this part, you marry procreate.
Overlay layers are your best friend, experiment with them A LOT because that REALLY help making your art pop! Especially with overlay gradients
On procreate, theres a thing called chromatic aberration, that can make colors look blurred and glitchy, use that with errored characters! Or dont!
Use halftones feature!!! It really help!! If you wanna do lighting, you can use an airbrush brush and then use the halftones feature, or just use the decimals brush!!
For lighting try to use layers like screen or add! Or dont, make it random colors for lighting! Go and have fun!
On a new layer, set it to something like vivid light, hard light, ect. And use very vibrant colors to go over lines and areas you feel need more emphasis in the artwork!! Especially if, like in this one, the characters colors are so dark you can barely see the lines
Mess with random brushes in your app and use those to your advantage!
Work fast and try not to stress! Take breaks and take care of yourself!
Tumblr media
FINAL NOTES
I can not stress enough, EXPERIMENT!! Try to put random elements of art and stepping out of your comfort zone as much as you can! Have fun and go random! (I think thats my new catchphrase)
Reference things if you want to try something new. For a while i thought references really only meant for weird poses, but it can be for anything!! For this one, i literally looked up spider punk spiderverse and used that as reference, and for the background (before i put filters on) i referenced samdoesarts!
If you feel like messing with colors, make the background something random and try to make the character look… well with the background?? Kinda hard to explain lolol
This is a general guide for my art, and i hardly ever even follow it myself. I fluctuate with my art a ton, taking outisde influences to put into the art and never staying with the same thing every time. My art process is wild and random and very much confusing even to me, and i like it that way!
This whole thing ive developed mostly on my own, and by taking tons of inspiration from other art i found appealing! So some of it might literally be wrong!! SORRYY
Would like to note ive never made ANYTHING like this so… sorry if it sucks!!

So I feel like I should say something about the lack of actual content being posted on my blog lately.
See, I've been working on a lot of things. Fics, AUs (seeing that commercial with Taymour as a spy Did Things to me), even minor ideas for art. Sadly, most of these things barely last because I run out of steam. I've recently had the fortune to get into a Sea of Thieves art related group, though, and I've noticed that because of it, I'm starting to actually complete art project things related to pirates, and I think I know what I'm missing in most of my other works, the ones that have never seen the light of day.
Interaction and a sense of community.
Now, not necessarily likes or reblogs (though those help, especially reblogs with comments or tags! But as someone who tends to not reblog myself, for various reasons, I get why they might not, and people uncomfortable with reblogging are absolutely valid.) But a sense of... IDK, community, I guess? The Left 4 Dead community is shrinking, it seems, and Versus is full, last I heard, of toxic people who kick people for the crime of being new to the game mode or for dying in ways that are just plain unlucky. The Nellis subsection of the fandom is even smaller, and I'm sure it's decided, in new fans anyway, to make a home on TikTok like so many other fandoms. But there's no sense, to me, that we're an actual community. And IDK about anyone else, but this dumbass bi has discovered that maybe they're an introvert, but they like feeling like there's a community in their fandoms.
It sucks and it's demotivating to realize that I can make art for other fandoms no problem (hell, even Monkey Island, a game only a couple years younger than yours truly, has a fairly active, if small, community on both Reddit and Discord), but for one of my original fandoms, which is near and dear to my heart, I lose motivation because I know I'm not going to end up having conversations about my work most of the time. I'm not going to end up talking to someone who wants to know how I did something in SFM, or who did something I want to learn in SFM. I'm going to get a few likes, maybe a reblog with some tags... And while I appreciate it, while it sparks joy to see notes at all in this fandom, it's demotivating. Couple that with my recent return to Fallout 4 obsession (Jake from Sim Settlements, my beloved 🥺) and my new job, and I just don't feel like I've got time to make anything for the fandom anymore, because it feels like there's no one to share it with.
And I'd like to stress something.
While I like getting notes, this has nothing to do with funny, somewhat meaningless, digital numbers.
It has everything to do with the fact the Nellis community feels like it's dying out.
And it sucks. Because Nellis was one of my first fandoms. Because I've made friends in our fandom, but it still feels like we're scattered haphazardly.
It feels lonely.
And even though I'm a bit of a loner and an introvert, I don't like being lonely.

Are they iPad kids? But I don't think I answer the question properly or consistently lmaoo
Yuuji: yes. Minecraft let's Plays all day. Is addicted to those tiktok reddit stories with the game play background.
Megumi: ....yes but watches things like Vsauce, lemmino, occasional reddit ice berg stories etc. Video essays, political commentary all that jazz
I mean... come on. His dad was deadbeat toji u think he didn't just give him an iPad as a kid to shut him up. Why do you think megumi is so tense all the time bro found 4chan and subreddits way too early...
Secretly loves those reddit stories too but thinks ALL of them are fake lmao
Nobara: she would much rather call a friend and talk and stuff. Maybe will put on some reality TV or a mukbang cooking videos or those jungle building a house out of mud vids
Gojo: YES ahhahahahahahahaha
I feel like he lives on twitch and I can see him being a gamer in his off time. He would much rather have someone around tho to talk to. Would love to sit around and gossip about dumb shit.
Would love storytime vids, also those mud house wilderness vids. Hates interviews and anything megumi watches lowkey
If u r dating him check his twitch for half naked gamer girlies :/
Geto: doesn't give a fuck tbh. Can sit down in silence, with a friend, with any type of yt video as long as he gets to eat the food he is good lmao. I think he likes music and just has music playing in his house a lot and eats while thinking about his life and his fucked up philosophies
Shoko: def a nobara type too. Heavy on the mukbang cooking vids. Occasional megumi educational video influence. Loves trashy reality TV for some reason but she is wasted all the time so it checks out lol
Yaga: yes... hhahaha I can see him loving Gordon Ramsey or those village cooking videos. Watches a bunch of diy videos on how to make plushies and some more videos on panda related things :)
Nanami: no. He reads the newspaper and just relaxes like meditating or something. I don't think he touches his phone for entertainment. Reads the news and some other articles on cultural shit and that's it. Gives major dad vibes. Lmaooo imagine him being like a top player in candy crush hahahahahahha
Utahime: bestie eats in silence with a book on her lap or gojo randomly talking shit in her ear
Doesn't touch digital things cuz she knows a lot of it is cancerous
Maki: kind of. She is obsessed with different health videos on how to get your body strong and martial arts, kinesthetics videos. I can't see her being obsessed with watching things tho. She is so busy with training and probably opts for quick meals or meals where she is with friends. Girlie is mindful and whatever
Panda: hahaha yeah hahaha But I feel like he loves his phone, is def a huge gamer
I think he might be a mix of everyone on this list
I can see him consuming all kinds of media, even unboxings and asmr videos and literally anything hahaha
Inumaki: yesssssssss definition of iPad kid lmao. He is very much like yuuji and gojo
Gojo, panda, yuuji and him play games on voice chat A LOT
Noritoshi: no. Look at him bro... he barely opens his eyes
Mai: is constantly on gossiping websites and spreads misinformation on those sites lmaooo
Yuutaaa: mf eats with his demon gf and just talks to it randomly. Watches a lot of movies and shows soooo probably an iPad kid? He is way too traumatized to not be hahahaha
Mahito: watches human rights violating porn all the time and lives on the dark web
Sukuna: honestly, he is an iPad kid in a non modern way. Would want someone to be infront of him and perform for him. Like singing, dancing etc. Even though it's sukuna I think mans is incredibly cultured and has a taste for those finer things
Choso: no. He probably just talk to his brothers all the time cuz they are inseparable. Also he has so much in his head to think about kinda like geto. If you suggested something to watch or showed him the internet he'd enjoy and find some niche. I think he is really into music and would turn into a micro celeb music critic
Toji: nah, his phone is blowing up with new job offers and he goes home to just sleep for a sec or have hot sex with a chic for money cuz bbygirl is just sometimes a whore.
If he did have the time to be online he'd be a slight mahito and then go and kill people who he thought took it too far. Other than that maybe also obsessed with half naked gamer girls on twitch and building mud houses videos
Todo: YES. He watches that idol girl all day everyday and God forbid he misses an episode
------
I don't think any of them like those crime podcasts and videos cuz it's death around them all the time and most of the mystery deaths in jjk world is probably because of those curses and what they do for a living

Art and Life Updates, Future Planning
(will be a bit personal, pardon me!)
I've been resting from drawing (in terms of making 'full art piece') for the past few months if anyone notice? People who followed me on Twitter might also notice how a bit absent I was from drawing full art, or contributing to fandom freely like I used to ><
The truth is, aside from waiting for commission clients, I'm actually have been participating in this zine for months, as I did contribute a piece and another small illust for the cover collaboration!
Beside that, I'm also testing my luck applying jobs left and right IRL. I guess it's been the almost 2 years since I graduated from university, but I barely receive any 'proper' love calls from any companies I've tried to apply to as any position possible. And my mental health has been unstable thanks to this problem as well haha!
I cried a lot, but at the same time...I'm so fast at getting back on track, trying, failing again, and the cycle repeats. It's been like this since June 2022, where my latest contract ends and my full independent freelance gigs starts. For the latest application experiences, I also try to apply for art editor and concept artist position, which requires me for creating new stuffs for its technical test + reason of most of my content absence (sadly again, I didn't pass the evaluation XD)
I did doodle a simple things and sketch anything, both traditionally and digitally, also grow back my love for gaming uwu. I think some (read: those who follows on twitter) already noticed that I've been playing Suikoden series (1, 2, Tierkreis -> with emulator for android) and Cookie Run Kingdom ^q^ Also the classic farming game like Stardew Valley and Graveyard Keeper! It's so fun and refreshing, and makes me less stressful to think about drawing!
But as I receive the latest rejection letter, I've been meaning to share some of my plans that I've considered:
I might gonna share the rejected concept art here, since I love the design so much ^q^ but of course in more refined visdev format!
I also wants to focus on practice, and I may or may not share those things? I'm not sure about other creators but I have this annual 'improvement stuck' moment where I feel like I kept being in comfort zone and trying to find anything I'm lacking and explore it, to test if I'm capable to do that certain new things or not. Be it art technique, hobbies, etc.
I do have a plan to join the hitsuhina week, but I can't promise if I can contribute everyday + in form of full art piece like I used to. It'll be more doodly/sketchy, idk, but I guess what matters is the overall concept that were delivered!
Related with point number 2, as I want to focusing on practice, I also want to revisit older personal projects. I have some OCs that I created during middle school and can't stop thinking about them TwT so I wish to explore their lore back >< which means less fandom content? Who knows.
Re-promote my commission form! I won't change the price for full-color, but I'll add different style options like previous commission that comes with much more cheaper or at least affordable prices for anyone who still wish to get something from me ^^ I'm still going to accept any client, beside job seeking IRL. I mean, I still need some personal income despite still living with my family?
So these are pretty much what I've been planning. Everything may or may not goes according to plan, but it won't hurt to give it a try and let it flow. So I close this post with this mantra:
Best of luck to me!

Anyways i'm Asexual/panromantic. Enough about that boring stuff tho. Time for my personal interest/hobbies. Im like a sleepy fox as I like to sleep thats why I haven't done a lot of post heh, im a kitsune, well you'll see in another post why.

halloween 2023
22) ...how do i name this? some shorts?
so okay. life's a lot. we needed shorts, not full movies. one of the things i'm going to talk about is one of the best horror things i've ever seen. the other two require a netflix subscription. they're.
okay so let's just get into it
DISCO INFERNO is a short film made by netflix, that makes it absolutely abundantly clear that the netflix style model is "no style," and the netflix script policy is "eh, it's words, right?" it's about a girl in the 70s who becomes pregnant, and the nun who killed her mother in the 50s tries to possess her at the opening of a new nightclub. how does the plot resolve? to speak from the viewpoints of the imagination-less execs who desperately want to be the human equivalent of an ai model, "who gives a shit." it feels like the kind of thing you use in a cosmic court case about whether or not executives have a soul, to prove that executives don't have souls, and this is a correct truth of the universe
FLASHBACK is a short film made by netflix, that shows what happens when you try your best to combine a love for everything everywhere all at once with netflix corporate execs. a home invasion winds up killing people. the execs, by the way, win out. it's about a girl using her end of life experience to do, as was said before, "who gives a shit." at this point i really genuinely feel like someone at netflix is actively working to kill art in order to make us more comfortable with ai taking over culture and killing the rest of human history. hey guys don't fucking use ai shit for anything related to art. if you do i fundamentally do not like you as a person. this shit is so fucking vile and inhuman. and these two shorts, despite being ostensibly made by humans, stink of ai. they reek of it. they burn my nostrils with malodorous digitations. fuuuuuuuuuck these shorts. if you make horror shorts, v/h/s needs to be watched, and treated as a bare fucking minimum of what to do. fuuuuck this
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING SO FUCKING GOOD COMING UP WITH A LINK AND EVERYTHING (i didn't watch it today but i watched it this month and i neeeeeeeed to talk about it)
THE OLDEST VIEW is a youtube horror miniseries by a fucking high school student that is better made and more horrifying and more tense and more unbelievably powerful in both concept and execution than, i shit you not, 90% of every other horror movie i've ever seen
it's about a youtuber who explores shit, finds a hole under a tree in texas, and the hole is full of stairs. the stairs go to an abandoned mall. there's art in the mall
there's art in the execution
there's no on-screen violence, there's no blood, there's no gore, this absolutely fits into youtube's content guidelines. it is, in theory, corporate as hell. but because it's made by someone who can just Make Art, Fuck The Overlords, it winds up being absolutely unstoppably powerful. absolutely incredibly horrifying. absolutely one of the best horror experiences i've had.
i'm going to link the playlist now. all in all, you need about an hour to watch it all. pleaaaaaase do it. please. PLEASE. if you ignore everything i say about every other horror movie, please watch this. PLEASE
1. skinamarink | 2. smile | 3. the black phone | 4. talk to me | 5. m3gan | 6. significant other | 7. cobweb | 8. horror in the high desert | 9. the pope's exorcist | 10. knock at the cabin | 11. infinity pool | 12. becky | 13. no one will save you | 14. huesera: the bone woman | 15. scream vi | 16. idle hands | 17. a wounded fawn | 18. v/h/s 85 | 19. evil dead rise | 20. mama | 21. look away

⭐️COLOR THEORY TUTORIAL⭐️
Tumblr media
bare in mind this is how i use colors. you can use colors however you please to and there is NO WRONG WAY of doing art. but i remember when i started doing art that little tricks and tutorials got me experimenting and helped me develop a skillset so i could create the pictures i wanted. so here you go:
A) THINK IN PALETTES!
A color never ever exists on its own! The way we percieve a color is very dependent on its environment (blame your brain for that).
You might have a totally epic looking green in one picture. But when you move it into a different environment it doesnt look like itself anymore?:
Tumblr media
To figure out how colors appear in relation to each other, it is useful to think of contrast (the good ol contrasts, i bet most people had this in school, skip this part if it bores you)
hue:
Hue describes which frequency of the light-spectrum you are dealing with. in digital art this is easy to regulate through the outer ring of your color wheel ( i like to use the square one bc paint tool sai was my mom).
Tumblr media
The further away two colors on the wheel are, the more they contrast: The blue background color and the bright green are a good chunk apart. The yellow background color does not differ greatly in its hue to the green. This makes the green look more dull.
you can also see in the bottom right corner of every color wheel: denoted are the hue, saturation and value. in numbers, like the computer would store them.
light & dark aka value:
Looking at the color picker again: wee see that the blue background is darker than the green. The yellow background is roughly the same, the numbers tell us its even a teeny tiny bit lighter.
Tumblr media
Light colors pop out more. In real life corners and objects petruding out are hit by light. Now the green is the same in both pictures but through the darker blue background it pops more. While it looks more flat on the yellow background.
Tumblr media
saturation aka quality:
A saturated color is pure pigment. If you take a pigment and dilute it down it looses saturation. Saturated colors are bright, draw attention to them. This very much depends on the environment though. If all your colors are bright and colorful then one of them will not stand particularly out before the others. If you have a very desaturated picture though, and you put a blob of a very bright color in there: than this blob will definetly catch the eye.
Tumblr media
You see how the blue background is wayyyy more desaturated then the yellow one? How does that influence the appearance of the green?
warm vs cold:
Now the three contrasts above were already subjective and dependant on the background. But this one goes one step further. Generally speaking there are colors considered warm and others considred cold BUT even a "cold" color could look warm on an even colder background. (Id say the blue background is the coldest color, then the green, and the yellow background is the warmest). What i find more important though is differentiating between warmer and coler areas of the same color:
Tumblr media
Thera are even more contrasts but honestly these 4 are the only ones i conscioulsy think about.
B) WEB-DESIGN LIFEHACK!
Back when i mused about going into web design i did a bunch of research. And one thing that stuck with me is the basic web design color palette:
one dark color, one mid tone, one light, and one contrary color
This is the basis and you can build up form there. Now, this is very useful if you want to paint/design anything thats easily recognizable. A poster maybe. I like this kind of palette bc i like kinda graphic, restricted color palettes. Here are some examples (generated here):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
C) PEEL YOUR EYES 👁👁
I think the MOST IMPORTANT ❗️❗️ thing to do is to look around, look at art, at photos at design at the things cluttering your desk. And analyze these colors. See which kind of contrasts and similarities you can find among them. Walk around in life and consciously look at colors, at scenes. You will not only get more comfortable with color theory but also learn to appreciate your surroundings in a new way.
Heres a picture i took of the tram:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is a stone form uni and the hand friend from reanimator :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
D) REUSE COLORS!!
Use the color picker, its your friend! I also reuse color palettes i like. i have a folder just dedicated to them. (here have some resident evil shots)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
E) e stands for extra: SCULPT WITH YOUR COLORS
After getting used to recognizing colors, and how they work in relation to each other, you can use them to sculpt out your paintings!
Tumblr media
Use contrasts to establish regions and objects in your painting, etc etc.
hope youre having fun with these tips :)

Tumblr media
So. Let's try this again.
Hi! I'm Sender (סענדער) of @sender-paulson infamy, which is now mostly a writing blog that I'm trying to clean up. This is gonna be my art blog.
I'm still gonna churn out art for the main blog, but general art and memes not related to one of my writing projects is gonna go here. Which means you'll see a lot of my old sketches and stuff turn up before anything new/good. But we'll get there.
In the meantime, let's do this right:
I am a traditional artist. Pencils, pens, markers, paper. That's about it. I'll touch drawings up with minor tweaks to make it clearer on a screen, but that's the bare bones of my operation. I don't do digital art.
I also don't do commissions. I hate doing art for money. It broke my heart once already and I'm not letting it become a job again. If you want something drawn, just ask.
This is purely for fun. I know my art* is crap compared to everyone else on here. And I don't care. This isn't a portfolio, it's a sketchbook. It's a hobby for me. If I was here to make money off this, I wouldn't be on Tumblr, would I?
Most of all, I've been here for years. I was on Tumblr for six months when Dashcon happened. And I'm just learning how to utilize a sideblog. So bear with me, okay? I'm Old.
I think that's everything? Anyways, have fun here. I know I will.

𝟎𝟒 . 𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 : content
𝟎𝟓 . 𝐇𝐎𝐁𝐁𝐈𝐄𝐒 : various forms of art, traditional and digital, although as much for a living as for fun hakjhfsd i am trying man, rp obviously, some gaming, watching cartoons, I REALLY WANT TO SIT DOWN AND LEARN HOW TO MAKE MUSIC VIDEOS OF CHARACTERS SPECIFICALLY FOR MYSELF BUT I HAVENT AHHHHHH
𝟎𝟔 . 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐑 : blue and grayscale tones, silver, I like warm colors too because they give me nice feelings but I cannot claim they are my favorite-favorite
𝟎𝟕 . 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 : oh that’s hard I am fond of several from childhood uhhhhh well Peter P.an by j m barrie holds a special nostalgic place in my heart especially since probably the longest muse I’ve ever had was Hook for several years

𝟎𝟗 . 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐌 / 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐖 : TF:P the Triage episode because I wanted my dad to see wj and he liked him and laughed more than once so that was nice
𝟏𝟎 . 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 : oh lord this is going to be hard to summarize okay uh... 1) I really love tfs because of the fact that they ARENT ppl controlling giant robots they are sentient living alien species and they are SO COOL to think about and look at and also I like classic/well designed vehicles 2) I’ve, BEEN the responsible more mature than most in my age group person since like, I was a teenager hfkjshdf I have been the person who has had tissues and pencils to loan other students and I’ve bought food in college when I’ve learned my friends don’t have anything to eat that day and I have been a person that Apparently gives off some kinda energy because even ppl I BARELY KNEW have asked for my opinion on things personal in their lives that distressed them, and one of my art professors has said I have ‘an old soul’ 3) I have looked after and helped various creatures heal and obviously that’s not the same as being a doctor of People but failing to help any living thing get better hurts like hell while succeeding in helping any living thing get better is a Wonderful feeling and I have gone through both several times because I’ve always been around animals for various reasons, so I do consider myself to have a compassionate nature and at least a hint of foundation as to how deeply Ratchet must care and hurt 4) also the world is very annoying and my living situation is not the best and like not to go into any details there but basically the older I get the more I relate to ratch ahksfjhsdf WHICH IS CONCERNING GIVEN IM NOT 50+ BUT AIGHT HERE WE ARE at least I am not grumpy yet I don’t think 5) I do not always have a lot of socializing energy either even though I do try sometimes hkjahksjfhsjkdfh
𝟏𝟏 . 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐔𝐑𝐋 : I mean I think it’s pretty self explanatory, Autobot Medic is a descriptor on several toys and even tf books, also nothing else I thought of was available because i got into tf.p several years after it aired and there have been multiple other blogs for him even WHILE it was airing so YOU KNOW but it’s okay!!! I am perfectly content with it, ratch isn’t really poetic nor does he even refer to himself as cmo or titles, I think there is a simple humility to it that suits him
