could i perhaps ask what brush(es) youve been using in your work recently? specifically for lineart; or if you use some kind of effect to get that specific look? totally cool if you cant say for whatever reason or dont wanna give it out, just thought i'd ask ^_^

I usually use the default photoshop soft round brush :-)

Theres not much of a line (no pun intended) between my sketches and lineart these days I usually start very rough and just keep redrawing over the last sketch on a new layer until I decide it's neat enough to color. Sometimes that only takes one or two passes but sometimes it takes more. After that I use a new layer on multiply with a different color to darken parts of the lines I want to emphasize and clip a lighter color over areas I want to make more faint

#I color on a multiply layer over my lines #because I usually have a bunch of sketch/lineart layers and it's easier that way lol #for textured brushes ive been using kyle websters runny inkers recently but for most things I like the soft brush best. I color with it too #ask #anonymous #I've tried recreating this brush in clip studio but it's just not the same I fear

Nearly a year ago today I made this blog and posted my art online for the first time. So here's a redraw of it to celebrate :) Also sketch under the cut because it actually looks very different than the lineart but I really like it (+ the lineart for comparison)

#can you tell I just bullshit backgrounds #rouge the bat #sth #sonic #my art <3 #updating my pfp too since it was from the og art. I mean it was edited as hell but still #anyway that old art was not only the first time I shared my art online but it was also the first digital art I made (outside of sketches) #like the first time I ever tried to do digital lineart and coloring and the very very minimal shading it has lol #these are probably the best hands I've ever drawn tho fr #also if people take this out of context and think I've only been on tumblr a year I will explode everyone. im a veteran. pity me. #oh and if you're for some reason reading these rambling tags thank you lol for one. but also I hope you have a really nice day :)

#I probably have posted about it at some point actually #The thing is this au has taken so many different forms and I've tried to share it in a thousand different ways #But I think it's cursed to just rot in my brain #That may be for the best it's incredibly self indulgent #lego ninjago #ninjago #ninjago fanart #harumi ninjago #Lloyd garmadon #Contrasting colors au #harumi jade

sometimes you start to wonder what the historical record for the guys you made up looks like in the fictional world where they existed. and then you make some fake documents about it.

#em draws stuff #oc time again hehe #moth and compass #the lieutenant: chadwick goodfellow #the cannon spike: matthew worley #Get Wikipedia-ed! [my writing style is not very good but you'd best believe that my typefaces and colors are as accurate as can be] #do not really like the way that semi-realistic older matthew turned out but I was tired of looking at him. So. #genuinely very proud of Poorly Scanned PDF Goodfellow though. fiddled around with textured eraser settings for Hours and it was Worth It. #anyway now it's FUNFACTS time! since this is of course not the only lore that there is on these guys #but just what one might find if you tried to research them now in m&c-verse #as we are in the timeline where these are just guys from mine and nat's heads there is More That Can Be Said #such as that the drawing of goodfellow in that article is copied from the second portrait of him #and if you've been paying attention to previous goodfellow drawings you may have seen it! #I've also previously drawn the midshipman miniature and it's around somewhere as well #also matthew + faith + george were all in a relationship while george was alive #but too few of their letters survive for wikipedia editors to confirm that :/ #I feel. Weird about posting this for some reason. but it may just be on account of that it is fully 1am when I'm writing this. ah well. #also the places mentioned in here are Made Up also #there Was in fact a historical hms ophelia but she was over a hundred years later so Shhhh

i think bisexual culture is not having a type and watching non-bi's get unreasonably mad at you for it

#bisexual #mine #like i'm sorry i've tried my best to define a type #but my type is whoever smiles at me in a very specific way #and has hair #that's all i can tell you #that's it #don't ask me about color or size or personality #i just start falling in love with them #that's when i know #do not question the process #because there are no answers

I had yet another long, strenuous day yesterday and didn't finish work until super late and then I couldn't fall asleep until well past 2am cuz I was in so much pain from standing literally all day

#what made it worse was the client I spent most of my day with was a brand new client. and she booked super last minute #so I wasnt mentally prepared for doing a 5 hour color. and her natural hair was already pretty light so I had to foil foil foil. go back. #pull out first couple foils. foil foil foil. go back. pull out the next few. #over and over and over. #and her hair was so fucking long. and so fucking thick. #and after the first hour she wouldn't talk. like I like my silence so I don't fight it much #but every now and then I would try to engage with her. I'd say something and she would straight up ignore me. no acknowledgment. #which makes me feel anxious cuz it's like jesus... does she hate me?? did I piss her off somehow? #even when I finished her hair (it looked fucking amazing no lie. one of my best highlights yet.) she had next to no reaction to it #she was like 'it looks fine. I mean good. it's good.' completely deadpan #I laughed it off and was like yeah it's been a long day girl! but it looks amazinggg on you!! #no response. deep inhale. alright. #whatever tho. #when I did finally get off work I stopped @ bojangles cuz I was lightheaded and hadn't eaten since morning #and when I tell you I almost broke down into tears cuz there were so many people crowding the goddamn pickup area. #and so many bizarre conversations going on. genuinely felt like I was in some form of hell #like my feet hurt. my back hurts. I'm tired. I didn't get the validation I like to have over a 5 hour transformative color. #I'm hungry and there are two elderly women blocking the pickup counter. one is hard of hearing so she keeps yelling HUH??? #and the other only speaks in soft baby whispers. that goes as well as you can imagine. #there's a man behind me grilling an employee abt whether or not he goes to church. he starts witnessing to him #and the employee says 'I've never thought about it like that before' no less than 4 times. #there's a child in front of me playing tiktoks @ full volume. and this is all happening simultaneously. #I really considered just leaving without my food but I knew I needed to eat and didnt have anything at home so I stuck it out #was it worth it? no. bojangles honestly sucks these days but what's a girl gonna do. #got home and tried to pass out but nope. tossed and turned all night. #put on hot n cold patches to try to soothe the pain a little. didn't work cuz one pain would be eased a bit and another pain would take over #blahhhhhh #and now. I get to do it all over again! yippeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Sage Ayana

Race: Human

Nationality: Atlas (Areia colony)

Ethnicity: Mixed Vacun & Mistrali

Weapon: Pilgrim

Gender: Man

Sexuality: Aromantic pansexual

Starting Age: 17

Birthday: Spring 1st

Aura Color: Green

Handedness: Right

Complexion: Dark brown

Eye Color: Red

Semblance: Remedy (Every time Sage's Aura shield takes damage, Sage's semblance converts the damage into a secondary Aura reserve called Mood. Sage can use his Mood to heal his body or to recharge his Aura shields immediately, which looks like green leaves wrapping around his body.)

Occupation: Haven student, Junior Detective, Boy band drummer

Previous Occuppation: Sanctum Regional Tournament player (2nd place ten times)

"And the winner is, Sage Ayana of Areia city!" the host announced to the crowd. The hundreds of people in the crowd went wild. Hundreds of them chanting, screaming, Sage's name. He could reasonably assume that almost everyone from his home was watching, cheering for him too. It wasn't good enough.

Sage headed to the locker room. He sat down and began checking his weapon for damages, even though last match only lasted about 7 minutes. That was when she came in. "Good afternoon, Sage Ayana."

Quiet.

"Good afternoon, Pyrrha Nikos." Sage said back to the armored redhead. "It seems we will be going up against each other in the finals again." Pyrrha stated.

Silence.

Pyrrha started again, "How many times have we faced each other like this?"

"Ten times, in a row. I lost every single match."

"Don't sell yourself so short! It's an accomplishment to make it to the finals consistently."

"Stop." Sage commanded.

Pause.

"... Pyrrha," Sage looked her in the eyes for the first time she entered the room, "you know what it's like for people like us. We don't represent ourselves, we represent our towns. And each time I lose here... forget it. I shouldn't have said that." Sage then turned his back again.

Pyrrha walked in front of Sage. "I apologize if my skill in combat has upset you," Pyrrha said, "but being the best comes with a price."

"That's easy for you to say-"

"It's not!" Pyrrha shouted. "... I know Areia is... unfavorably compared to Argus by Atlesians. But know that I, nor anyone else in Argus, view your city that way. We are equals. And it is an honor to earn second place as many times as you did even if you don't see it that way, friend." Pyrrha then reached out her hand to Sage.

For a moment, Sage considered taking her hand. Forgetting about his duties, his discipline, his fidelity to his parent's teachings of strength.

"We are not friends, Pyrrha Nikos." Sage stared her in the eye.

"... very well then, Sage Ayana. Eternal rivals, then." Pyrrha sadly stated.

"...ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for the finale!!!" The host screamed so loud it could be heard inside the locker room.

Sage and Pyrrha got up and walked to the door, waiting for it to automatically open.

"May the best fighter win" Pyrrha hummed.

"I won't lose this time." Sage stated to her.

"You have said that ten times before." Pyrrha coldly stated back.

For a moment, Sage's mouth turned into a frown, but he corrected his face. He must always correct himself, always strive to be perfect... still not good enough.

#woohoo #yeah baby this is what I've been waiting for!!! #rwde #rwby fix it fic #rwby rewrite #rwby redesign #sage ayana #my boy is a real character now!!! #also oof #I had to work overtime to make sure neither Sage nor Pyrrha look too bad during their argument #like Pyrrha is just living her best life and trying to help someone she sees is struggling #but shes not a pushover either #and Sage knows he's in his feelings which is why he tries to avoid the conversation all togather and be nice regardless #but back to my soft redesign #Red eyes suit Sage better than the gold ones and it matches him with Scarlet/Pyrrha #I changed his arm thingy to be a dark cyan for Neptune #so now Sage has all of his teamates colors because without him team SSSN would fall apart #he's like #their daddy figure #;) #anyway if I ever try to do something like this again know that the palms will be light #making Sage's lips look the way dark skin peoples lips look irl dramatically improved this design #if you white take notes #but yeah I had fun!

#nano art #pokemon #toxtricity #coloring is beating the shit out of me #i've bean having art block and burnout for a few days so i haven't drawn much #i'm kinda unsatisfied with how this looks but i tried my best

[hexcitrine]

randomly looked at this account to update my age and holy shit it's been a while since i posted here..........i have a small pile of art i have yet to post but hbhbshdbshbd too lazy

#part of it is that i haven't posted any of my recent art but in addition #i haven't made new art in a WHILE (abt 3 months) which is highly unusual for me but the reason for that is #3 months ago i suddenly remembered that i tried learning mandarin for three (3) days before forgetting about it for 9 months #(amusingly the reason why is not because of danmei......i did not even know danmei existed when i first decided to learn it) #anyways i have been insanely fixated on learning it for the past 3 months #however since art is primarily a way for me to process my interests and that only really be done when i'm fixated on media........well #let's just say i have not been making art at all #that might change soon tho #rn i'm reading 撒野 (saye) in chinese bc it's at a level i can read and i fucking love it so far #idk why i picked a book longer than svsss (which took me a week to read in english)...u would think there's no chance of me finishing it #or even reading it #especially when the only novel i've read before this is a chinese translation of the fucking magic finger by roald dahl LMFAO #but it's been a week and i'm a fifth of the way into it which i was not expecting at all #it was initially an exercise of “i will get as far as i can and try my best to read a chapter a day” but i've been zipping through chapters #last night i was up until 3 AM reading it and i was so tempted to read more but had to stop myself #of course this is all aided by pleco which lets me quickly look up words that i don't know yet. pleco ily #that being said...this all does mean i know words like 收銀台 before i even know the word for “orange” (the color) which is pretty funny #but idk considering that the sum of my time spent learning chinese is just 3 months..........i think i am doing pretty damn good #i thought it would be a LOT longer before i could finally start enjoying some interesting things #god but it really has been a while since i last read a high school romance...but i am quite fond of the leads and their respective baggage #sorry for the whole tag ramble.........i haven't really had anyone to talk abt this stuff with #oh also it's my birthday #that is why i am even here to update my age in the first place #happy lan wangji birthday #actually the only reason i realized it was gonna be my birthday soon is because i saw chinese artists posting lan wangji birthday fanart #and then remembered that we share the same birthday #also re: the art i haven't posted yet.........a good chunk of it is misvil fanart...song qingshi my beloved #and there's also a luo binghe drawn on an art app i PROGRAMMED MYSELF (!!!!!!!!!) in there #actually that piece is the main reason i haven't posted the art i HAVE made. how the fuck do i explain that i drew it on an app that i made #sorry this is genuinely the most off the rails tag ramble i've ever done. okay i'm done

I should be on Shivers team more often. I don't feel bad about losing matches because at least I'm losing to Frye o7

#splatoon #joking. kind of. #Sorryyyy I'm still a Fryehead forever and always. I just don't like spending holidays with my family + I like Shivers outfit more + BLUE IN #i loooove the FrostyFest colors but Shiver BY FAR has the best ink color this time around #She typically does tbh but not always- Frye had the best color for Splatoween #anyways having a pretty good FrostyFest... not as good as Splatoween but thats no fault of the fest itself- I'm just really tired from work #+ I haven't been playing much PVP (My daily wins have pretty much exclusively been from Salmon Run for the past two months) so I'm rusty #But I've been playing Enperries bc I want 4 stars on them and Tri-Nouveau for Tricolor #I DO like this Tricolor stage. BUT. I wish it was better for Heavy Splatling </3 #Heavy Splatling is the weapon I use for Tricolor but Crableg does NOT work well with it unfortunately
