So JJK is over and my LMK brainrot is back , added with the fact i am playing a MOBA game and am being blessed with delicious illustrations
it prompted me to make this
Now i am going to ramble about this because this is the first time in forever where i kinda pushed myself to make a FULL art piece-
I will be standing for this-
Let me tell you, i had no confidence in this and the composition was supposed to be way different, but this still happened.
This took two days because i kept procrastinating , walking around my room dreading drawing the background
BIG ADVICE FOR BEGINNER ARTISTS
Watch speedpaints. You will learn so much by watching the process and that was this for me
I have the tendency to kinda burn myself out and finish everything in a day and then never actually finishing. Tried something different for this and made a cheap silhouette of a sketch, then drew over that and used greys and whites fort the shadows. Then i think i colored everything in a base color (and i finally used a palette) and then i tried to find the lighting and shadow colours. It was weird. And what im saying is that i planned most of it instead of diving head in withour a plan.
Crazy i know-
I also just learned about dpi PROPERLY and unfortunately made my piece so big that it kept stalling paint tool sai-
let me just post the progress shots
I also fucked up macaques reference and fixed it in a whim somewhere. You can see it here. I honestly wasn't planning to follow the lmk at style but that kinda happens when you're starring too much at the references.
There's still a mess and i wanted to render it a bit better ,the way i normally do but i didn't. Anyways i did enjoy the process and i actually miss them so much and i might watch LMK all over again
Especially Wukong and MK
Btw this was supposed to be a moving illustration and i just didn't
I have Live2D but no
(Btw please check out my profile if you have the chance and thank you for reading this! Love you-)
I HAD TO DRAW SOEMTHING DOWN FOR MY DUDE!!!
I have Thoughts about all all this but good god this mans been rally thru it, they both have. AND YET HUGS ARE SO FAR AWAY.
Don't worry Solar, you get hugs later.
I'm just gonna assume his moon wrote down that note for him.
Just got a letter informing me that my good friend Jonathan is going on a business trip to Transylvania in a bit under two weeks! I'm sure he will have a wonderful time on his travels! Can't wait to hear all about it through his letters!
About that sun swimming post like what if he just tilts his head to use as a board cause the water keeps clashing with his head and makes him slow down so he just tilts his head whatever direction he's going moon too btw
(late response, sorry)
He was already looking up like animals do when they swim, Moon and Eclipse where just floating.
I drew the faces round, they aren't flat so it wouldn't slow them down much anyways.
I just wanted to draw the boys swimming and pulling their rays back like puppies do because I thought it was cute. (I'm talking about the other post, Sun isn't pulling back his rays here because Moon is carrying him).
INSPIRED BY THE FIC:

Which, if you 'haven't read yet- why not?? go read it now!! It's literally so good, its so good- had me crying- LIKE. I WANNA FIGHT WUKONG FROM THIS FIC SOOOO BAD but at the same time,,, i wanna hug him and bring him nice things and make sure he's safe and happy! The author writes so amazingly and aaaah! the pain!!!!
what made me fell in love with this scene is how yong-pil surrendered himself to his emotions, how he had always felt about samdal-ri. he just wants to savor that moment while he can.
