Point of view: You've royally pissed off the most powerful being on the planet.

#late trimax vash my beloved #alena aquired new skill: colour your lineart without fucking up the pencil strokes and put the colour layer beneath! #shoutout to @plants-and-geraniums whose beautiful angel arm vash fanart inspired me to try that out again #now I don't wanna boast but I'm really happy with how these turned out #also found my new favourite tool on clip studio: the airbrush #also drawing space ship parts is fun #I'm putting some lines in there and suddenly it looks like that part has got some use #trigun #fanart #vash #vash the stampede #trigun maximum #trimax #aah I should maybe tag this with #trigun spoilers #sry that I didn't do this from the start

Blacked out in front of my tablet and woke up with sketches of my Touchstarved mc + Kuras my beloved. woops

#I found out dr. kuras is 6'6 I said hold on lemme get a stool so I can climb this man #touchstarved #touchstarved game #touchstarved kuras #kuras #sleepyscribble #oc.emma #my mc is meant to be a self insert but also like. I wanted to come up w a design and character arc and everything jkvkvk #so I ended up basing her on my personality/looks but taking her into a direction that would fit the game #she's like. me but 'characterized' and a bit exaggerated for the sake of being a character yk #the way she turned out is that she's basically a friendly happy go lucky mage who laughs at her own misery but hides #a deep layer of self loathing underneath all that bc of her curse #having been cursed all her life she believes she's a monster and the sunny personality is a way for her to 'make up for it' #but at the same time she feels like a farse. like she's only luring ppl in to an inevitable demise #and she thinks she's selfish bc despite knowing the danger she poses she still goes out there and puts herself among ppl #bc she craves human connection. even tho she feels guilty for 'indulging' in it #anyway I love the cursed mc concept in this game <3 it's been really interesting to think abt how that would affect someone #also I kept her physical features looking pretty much like mine #bc I wanted to draw myself in a cute way. teehee #but the clothing I was basically thinking like. early game simple clothing that she didn't rlly pick for herself #and maybe later I can have an updated design w something she would actually pick for herself

Wouldn't lizard fashion be something like spikes and scales and a frilled lizard collar?

Like so?

(Bonus art under the cut)

#thank you anon I've been wanting to draw proper lizard fashion for a while and this gave me the motivation I needed #dracula daily #re: dracula #dracula #lizard fashion #The colours I chose here make Drac look like Harry Du Bois - which is appropriate given how I tend to depict his personality in my shitpost #bonus under the cut featuring Dracula's Weed Smorking Girlfriends #personally I really like the theory that the three vampire women are actually dracula's wife and two daughters #since the book never actually calls them his wives and the two subordinate girls are specifically described as looking similar to him #the idea that he turned his family but is no longer capable of loving them (or being loved by them) adds a whole extra layer for me #because he still goes through the motions - goes out to get them food (babies) and provide for them/fulfil the role of a patriarch #but its hollow and loveless and done out of strange obligation/habit - like an echo of being alive #BUT for the sake of comedy I will always draw them as his three weed smorking girlfriends because it's just funnier #or rather as I like to think of them - his three weed smoking EX-girlfriends who spend all day making fun of him and and freeloading #I'm going to tag any art with them in it from here on out as #the ex-wives of dracula #he's going to england to escape their ridicule

i've never really made a comic before, well, i have, but nothing i had intention to show anyone else

#silverware's art #undertale yellow #uty clover #tumblr better not make this look like a fucking jpeg #the only reason i'm actually posting this is because i really like the backgrounds #ignore the wobbly ass lines. i don't like actually lining things so i just did it like that on the same layer as the sketch #fun fact about this! i did each panels comoring on one layer #background and everything!! #i like the last 2 rows the best. they just look neat to me (though. it is my art so that's kinda to be expected) #the pacing is probably terrible. but eh. it's fine. not gonna NOT post the thing i spent multiple hours on over 2 days #anyways. ignore my rambling in the tags. it's just something i do now. sorry i guess #(not really. it is my post so. y'know. i can do this) #plus! you clicked “show more” so you signed up for a lot of tags

#sonic prime #This was...suppoused to be a simple RBG eyestraining piece in reference to Housewife Radio (by ghost and pals) #because I had that song alongside an epik Sonic and Nine animatic stuck in my head for a good while #but than I found one layer setting that made the colors really really pretty and it only spiraled out of control from there #Proud of it immensely tho!!! #and the lyrics stay even when the thang looks nothing like originally intended cuz they still inspired me to draw #they might be a bit corny but oh well #miles nine prower #nine the fox #mah art #me does arts #actually finished doodl

here's an alt version of Narinder without the veil!! :D

#I added that detail last minute and my poor government laptop was about to explode from the amount of layers that I was using– #it wasn't even that much! just uhh 95 I think?? I normally use like. 150+. But this poor laptop is not built for that #The tools were starting to lag and the program froze for a couple of seconds before starting to work again and it was a whole mess so #I couldn't put a lot of detail into it #but I'm still pretty happy with the result!! #I love Lisey's design so much specially Narinder's #I really wanted to make fanart for them and I finally got to finish it!! there was a lot of trusting the process in this fjhsd but it was #definitely worth it. I think I exceeded myself. Very proud of this one. #even though I couldn't put the amount of detail I would have wanted to because of the laptop's limitations.. I did the best I could with #what I had and I think it looks good! so. yeah. hehe. #I hope Likey likes it if they see it heh (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠) #cotl #cult of the lamb #cotl Narinder #cotl Lamb #cotl the one who waits #cotl narilamb #cotl fanart #narinder x lamb #gpart

sky!!! 💙💙💙 I tried out a new coloring style here and tried to put less emphasis on line art, and I really liked how it turned out!!! :)

#linked universe #lu fanart #lu sky #uni art :) #IM ALIVE‼️‼️‼️ #schools almost basically done 🥳🥳 #I have like two more classes and then I’m free!! #but yeah this drawing was fun to work on bc normally I color everything on separate layers and it’s time consuming and boring #so for this drawing I just colored and rendered everything on one layer #it was fun and a lot faster and I really like how the hair looks #but I’m not sold on the face idk it’s ok ig #in other news #I really want to be more active on here so im gonna make an effort to reblog more stuff #I hate how quiet my blogs been it’s so sad and even if I don’t have time ti draw as much I should still reblog stuff so yeah 👍 #now I NEED to change the blogs banner bc that art is OLD and I DONT LIKE it 😭😭😭

"all is hushed for the song of Orpheus..." my own take on udad!Orpheus, partially inspired by @/reegis's design (making him a sad goth boy is such a concept <3) and these images of ts/jl:

#really like how those photographs dress him. the open shirt sleaves. the huge coat. the patterned layers... so fucking good #i wanted his expression to look like the tragedy half of those comedy/tragedy thearter masks. thats how i pictured him while listening to #udad the first time #(also read a complealy normal fic that said he'd cry pretty and am being totally sane abt it) #psii.png #the mechanisms #the mechs #udad #ulysses dies at dawn #udad orpheus #orpheus udad #trial by song #the jessica law charcters brainrot is hitting hard 🔥🔥🔥

[lemonlurkrr]

lemon i hope you know (if you didn't already from your notification boom solely from me) that your prev hero au designs did something to me. fundamentally altered my brain somehow. im literally stuffing them in my mouth how did you do that

HHEELLLOOOO THIS WAS A LOVELY NOTIFICATION BOMB TO WAKE UP TO, HOLDING ALL THESE TAGS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART

as for how (i'm seizing this as an opportunity to share a bunch of process work):

there was a butt load of trial and error

From what I can remember (this all started 3 years ago holy shit,,,) I worked on Kevin's design first. The only 2 ref images I've found are included in the screenshot, but I'm pretty sure I was looking at those in addition to all of the other Impa+Sheik designs from the games, OG Hyrule Warriors concept art for Impa+Sheik, and the Sheikah pages from BOTW's Creating A Champion.

here's Link's stuff and YIPPEE I HAVE HIS REFERENCE IMAGES 🙌🙌

(BIG BIGG shoutout to @/historyofhyrule btw for archiving so much concept art and everything from all of the zelda games. None of this brainrot would've been possible without them.)

butt load of trial and error cont. especially for the colour of his scarf omg (I was looking at some of the hero's garb colour variants from OG Hyrule Warriors, and was conscious of the two other scarf wearing Links in Zelda Not Canon)

I can't find Zelda's inspo/ref images either but I remember referencing Griffith and Casca from Berserk, Kushana from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Ashei from TP, some of the OG Hyrule Warriors concept art for Princess Zelda, and of course some of the other canon Zelda designs (ALttP, TP, HW, OoT, BOTW).

I'd say Kushana was and still is the biggest inspo for Prev!Zelda, even personality wise I find myself looking back to her and how she was in the Nausicaa manga and movie.

final design thoughts: I really REALLY wanted the three of them to look cohesive with each other SO,

I always carried over screenshots of the other members of the trio onto their individual canvases to make sure that any changes I made to one design didn't stand out too much from the others,

I'm also pretty sure I worked on Link and Zelda's design simultaneously, or at least flipped back and forth between them a LOT when doing their armour (I wanted it to be evident that they were produced by the same smiths of the royal family yknowww),

and finally I made sure there were a couple of shared colours between their colour palettes

Thankee Thankee for reading this far and I hope y'all enjoyed my process stuff :))!!!

#lemonreplyrr #lemondoodlrr #RRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH #WOOOOOOOOO #it was actually so much fun looking back through the files and all the layers (i wish past me had named them though oh my god) #no promises atm BUT!!!!! with school finished and the LOZ brainrot slowly trickling back in I hope to make some more #prev hero au #stuff over the summer #i miss drawing these guys #and the design process is so much fun I reeealllyyy want to start designing the other characters I had planned for the AU #designing au stuff is like this insane puzzle where there isn't really? a wrong answer? but I'm cherry picking all of the pieces myself #from canon and outside sources and it's so satisfying when they all come together at the end #anyways #RAAAHHHH BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK

Outfits of the Guard from an older fic of mine, Tangerine and Roc. Supposed to be a bit of a mix of styles from Central Asia in the late 15th century as they go about their travels, with a little battle-ready touch.

#siggy draws #the old guard #tog #tog fanart #yusuf al kaysani #nicolo di genova #quynh #andromache of scythia #kaysanova #andromaquynh #*director's commentary in the tags wee woo: #none of these fits are exactly what i envisioned when i wrote the fic but they're generally what they should have been wearing #y'know like some layers come off and some come on throughout the fic ofc #does joe look battle-ready? absolutely not. #he wants to be fashionable! <3 #this was the first time i've really attempted to draw embroidery and patterns by hand and it shows lol... #anyway. joe gets the snazzy main-character colours and nicky gets all the brown because he's nicky #also he looks so tired because he is lol. let him rest. or not. let him not rest idk. #i should have put more effort in and drawn different version of their outfits with weapons too but alas #quynh should have a nicely embroidered quiver and a bit of armour. they should all be more armed up -- #-- after meeting the kazakh settlement in the first chapter. but can anyone blame me for not wanting to draw all the weapons... #anyway i miss them and i miss this fic and i miss writing like this ;_; <3

#romancing august I think but we’ll see what oriana is saying when the updated demo comes out hehe #some quick facts: #they usually go by their last name #her goal with her style is to be constantly mistaken for a beautiful ghost #lots of long skirts/dresses + layers. gossamer looking fabric etc. only ever wears black or white #on stage she’s also usually wearing a mourning veil bc of course she is #half of her love of music comes from the spectacle of it. like being able to construct a persona and exist in it for a little while #like playing make believe #they make a lot of their own clothes. if they weren’t doing music they’d definitely be doing something in fashion. #she deeply deeply hates being misunderstood or having her words/actions be twisted so she’s like pulling her hair out rn lmao #the band’s songs are pretty high usually so she always secretly finds it funny when fans try to sing along and are off key or something lol #the only tattoo they have is seven’s initials and she doesn’t really plan on getting any others #they’re hesitant abt being a positioned as the leader bc sometimes she has issues with reeling in her emotions #and responding reasonably in the moment. #anyway she can’t relate to the loser mc allegations she’s the coolest mf on the scene tbh #but I am sorta… scared for them. #on account of the horrors that are yet to come #bc truthfully they don’t know any coping mechanisms that aren’t just ‘ignore it until it goes away’ lmao #one of the things she is currently ignoring to the best of their ability is seven #if: infamous #mb #mc: jinnah beatty (infamous)
