HOW do you have the patience to make these details... how do you decide where each line goes when there are so many? Is it channeling something? Or do you have to think and reason, okay, this line goes here, and then the next line goes here...

when i was younger i used to think spending more time on art made it better and i would kind of try to prove my mettle in art by use of heavy detailing instead of via technical skill. also i generally care moreso about the details in things rather than bigger picture so im more inclined to have my drawings reflect that... now i dont think that time makes it better anymore but thru years of working like this ive just developed a general affinity for extensive detail. i am trying to be more content with making simpler stuff too but i have to consciously learn that though, keeping it simple and staying confident about it.

do i channel something:

mmmm...maybe? sometimes a picture makes me a little crazy and i feel like i have to represent some type of perfect divinity in a "correct" manner.

heres 3 pics where that happened. the first two are trying to be more representational of concepts whereas the latter is more general level ornamental. like how a church would be decorated.

im a little more lax now on dedicating pictures to spirituality, but a lot of my pictures still have some type of divinity meets earth topic and in those i always think of the divine as something that in its truest form couldnt be understood but because the creature has divine power it can present itself or modify the world in any way it wanted to. and so it would choose ways that are easily understood as beautiful and good. why angels are pretty...

thats whats happening in these. the comet makes its body be beautiful while the seal eel serpent is showing its power thru perfect control of the water and making a really pretty splash

to ur question of how i decide on each line: its a mix between keeping every line imbued with intent but also not concentrating on the picture so hard that i have to enact force on it. i still redo most of my lines multiple times but i also dont feel fully conscious for the detail part of these bigger pictures. i have to be in a good mental state and those happen rarely. my workflow isnt ideal. a lot of days i do nothing and then on one day of the week i dont do anything but draw on one picture for 14+ hrs. i did that a couple days ago again and its euphoric in the moment, but the day after i feel drained dry as fuck. theres also an aspect to it where i draw virtue from patience and dedication to a task. i try to steel my patience a lot and drawing like this is part of that. i look up to nuns and eunuchs or that spaniard who built a church solo. id like to have that type of mindset with a Will that strong. but i dont want to do it via god based faith but instead my own thing. sorry for babble- thank you for the ask.

#and thank u extra for the art related ask. i like those the most

your anatomy is really good, do you have anywhere you learned it from/general anatomy tips? love your art!

thank you !! sorry this took so long to reply to. im not very confident in my anatomy skills. also sorry if this is incomprehensible

i practice anatomy by figure drawing (via this site, mainly. used to use real-time models but had to stop) and just studying in general. (("studying" as in just looking at poses real hard and attempting to memorize the shape of muscles and bones (i need to actually study. but i dont waanntt to/waiting to just take a college class so i dont have to find materials myself))

i do figure drawing like. maybe twice a year. ideally id be doing it way more often but i just forget. heres some i did recently

+ heres my "cheat sheet" that i use when i fuck up my proportions . going to tell you right now that this is probably not 100% anatomically correct . yes i follow these anyways. do not be like me

finally for general tips? the usual.. do timed figure drawing, dont spend too much time on one sketch (i have problems w this one), and draw/practice a ton. studying muscles and bones helps too. and proportions. look at muscles and how they flex and stretch. etc etc i hope this helps you in the slightest

#im a little baby noob at this #ask #art #tips #i guess ........anatomy has been my weak spot for years and i never do anything about it #anatomy

last but not least...... Ames. the Came Back Wrong oc. who i am actually painting currently so if i like it i will post it :3

hashtag Edgy Backstory

ames wears Some sort of abyss mask modified just to be more unique but probably most similar to cackling cannoneer's. they also have melancholy mope hair, overactive overachiever's cape but modified to go around the whole body, anddddd. some sort of long pants outfit thats most similar to the aurora runaway outfit. or maybe like confident sightseer's outfit Again but more grey/cool toned.

no matter what outfit theyre wearing youre Barely going to see anything besides the legs anyway because theyre not one to take up much space or make very grand gestures

from isle! very interested in the history of the sky kingdom and spirits and the rebirth cycle (uh oh)

professional emotional wall builder. and archer i guess. they picked up that skill in forest back when vedesa still lived there which is how they met in my beautiful brain

they were the very eager sort of moth which eventually culminated in them having some rather large but also quite dangerous ambitions. aka fucking with the rebirth cycle and having to deal with the consequences of that

im still working on the finer details but they basically unded up stuck in the shattering void for A WHILE and witnessed a ton of memories suspended in time both of their own and other people's including from WAY before they were born and also feeling fluctuations of light and dark. very normal experience for one's psyche. but they escaped after like at least a year and theyre so normal about it and you cant even tell (lying)

vedesa's involvement comes from her being the one who spent ages trying to figure out a way to reach them which is how she ended up primarily spending time in vault in the first place and ALSO why she's trying to spend a lot less time in vault nowadays

so of course when ames escapes on their own theyre Pretty Damn Pissed but also really dont know what to do. and they lay low for another unspecified amount of time and are presumed missing or just permanently dead. they are very much neither of those

they ended up wandering into prairie after a while which is where they very much startled lalut due to literally looking like hell. lalut was very concerned to say the least but offered to take them in and they've been warming up to each other since :)

ames is just grateful to know someone who doesnt know their whole batshit backstory and is non judgemental and tries to just treat them like any other person

they are quite protective and will purposefully leer at people over your shoulder if they get bad vibes.

wicked chef. could theoretically be bribed with food (few have ever tried)

can be very meticulous and careful and is really quite gentle in most everyday stuff. very quiet footsteps. you will get jumpscared

used to be the lighthearted silly teasing type but has become a lot more dry and sharp about it. it has also become harder to tell when theyre just joking around

anyway theyre basically plotting to track down vedesa and properly confront her about what happened. id say yay for communication but god knows what they actually plan on doing or even what vedesa plans on doing with all that guilt. (guy who literally created them) (dont worry i have some ideas i just might draw them out another time)

Ajshsjs a reprieve from the teasing if you'd like to answer :3

But how would you describe your skill level as an artist and how long have you been drawing?

(I'm learning how to draw and all the cool art works of everyone in the DCA, including yours, really inspire me greatly)

uhh i mean i would say that im advanced when it comes ta certain...parts of the art process?? i feel pretty confident that my shading is beautiful or nice ta look at but when it comes ta the technical aspects (like where your lightsources are) i could use some improvement. i tend ta just have my eyes glaze over and draw whatever and then realize later its not correct ^^;

im fairly confident in my art style but my anatomy SUCKS AAAAAAAAAAASSSSS I DO SO MANY STUDIES B/C OF THIS AKJKAJSDKASJD

im also not good at backgrounds so akjkajfjkdf minus 1000000 points

im pretty confident in my sketching abilities!! i like sketching a lot actually X3 ive gotten really fast at sketching unless its like a hard pose. and ta go along with that i really like how i do lineart now!! it takes less time and i just like the style of it X3

honestly its really hard for me ta uhh say what kind of skill level i am without like tearing myself apart (i am my worse critic) id say im at an intermediate level??

#measuring this stuff is hard w/out just like destroying myself emotionally 😭😭#spacie splains #thank you for the ask!!#ive never thought of measuring my own skill like this b4 :O #i think my drawings are too stiff at times. i still have no idea howta fix that #ive tried all the techniques ppl talk abt and none of them have helped so 😭

Geats Headcanons.

I figured tumblr bloggers such as @acequinz and @narashikari are always requested by people, me especially, to give us their headcanons for Kamen Rider Geats characters.

I thought, I should balance that out by giving out my own headcanons for the Geats characters.

Ukiyo Ace:

The golden coin he always finds in each of his lives acts as his personal ID core and makes him remember his past lives.

He has acquired a lot of skills in his various lives by way of a DGP wish or working hard to learn that certain skillset.

He learned draw and paint by being in the same vicinity as Michelangelo.

He learned to appreciate art in all its forms by being around Shakespeare.

We can also blame his association with Shakespeare to the fact that he knows how to fool someone like Keiwa into giving him the Boost Buckle the first time and how he tricked Keiwa into doing something to get the Ninja Buckle.

His past lives lived a pretty long life, often times going into the hundreds its how he came to be associated with both Shakespeare and Michelangelo.

He has perfect pitch, in which he can determine what note a certain sound makes and if a certain song is off by a note or two.

He has acquired it because of his Rider powers, his awareness of space made him literally aware of everything around him, including sound.

His Rider form’s perfect pitch bled into his civilian form and thus, singer Ukiyo Ace is born.

Ace’s first television role was in a BL as the guy who was literally and figuratively dumped by his on screen boyfriend in front of the trash can.

Suffice to say, he stole the scene and he’s become the star he is today.

Although he was already dubbed Star of the Stars of the Stars by the public even before that because of his ad works.

His first major role was in a drama where his character was killed by his on screen mother because he was an “Impossible Existence”.

Due to the nature of the DGP, he;s always took on modeling gigs and guest appearances and not a major role.

He got this title with his wish, he’s confident he gets to keep it forever. Afterall his previous lives wishes, he got to keep them, this was no different.

It’s not like he needs to work.

Ever since meeting Neon, he’s made guest appearances in her channel, boosting his and Neon’s popularity.

His company was not a fan of his random appearances but they can’t say he’s breached contract because he’s always appeared on Neon’s videos randomly.

Whenever he eats with anyone like Neon, Keiwa (with or without his sister), and/or Michinaga, he always foots the bill. Neon wouldn’t know how to refuse, Keiwa’s torn between paying for the meals instead or letting Ace pay for it knowing he couldn’t afford what Ace has ordered, Michinaga just clicks his tongue and lets Ace does it anyway.

He’s tried to let his contacts scout both Michinaga and Keiwa but to no avail. He knows they have potential in the entertainment industry, but they’re just afraid of risking it with the two of them.

But due to the beef he and Michinaga shared in the building a home reality show on camera, Michinaga’s gained some fans and he’s still smug about it.

Ace can dance but he needs coaching. It will take him at least a year’s worth of coaching before he can even dance on camera.

Sakurai Keiwa:

Believe it or not, Keiwa entered the hate the world phase.

He had dyed his hair white, hung out with people with questionable attitudes.

He blamed the world for his parents’ death.

It did not help that the hefty sum they inherited from their parents were being spent frugally by his sister.

It also didn’t help that the people who took them in, his mother’s brother, resented both him and his sister because they were added expenses.

They didn’t show it but it was there.

It came to a point where they had to sell a lot of their parents’ belongings and their belongings, including the game console the both of them wanted to buy and got in the same year their parents died.

So yeah he blamed the world for his family woes.

That all changed when his sister fell ill from doing too much.

He was third year in middle school when it happened. While Sara was on the verge of graduating High School (she was second year but details) and they were poised to move out of their uncles home three months after she graduates.

They weren’t kicked out, both she and Keiwa thinks its for the best for both parties.

He was busy ignoring his sister’s rants at her part time jobs when she suddenly collapsed, thankfully she wasn't holding a knife then.

Sara was diagnosed with over-fatigue, and since then Keiwa’s turned over a new leaf, even taking an idealistic approach to life.

One downside being, his idealistic approach was his default answer whenever he was questioned. The reason being if he does stray for that line of thinking, he’d lose the only family he had left. Sara collapsing in front of him traumatized him.

and yes he’s not naive, like a lot of people seem to think he is.

After it was ruled that Sara had better rest from everything, Keiwa took the reigns and hasn’t let go of it since.

He gathered up some courage and asked his uncle’s wife to teach him how to cook., which he was surprisingly good at.

The family has been eating Keiwa’s cooking until they moved out of the house.

He actually expected to take a beating after he blew off his group of misfits for suddenly trying to fit in to the mold, he was rather surprised when they offered him smiles and the best of luck for his new road in life.

He started getting good grades in all of his subjects, he even went as far as trying to learn English on his own, to increase his prospects success may vary, but he’s better than most.

In solidarity with his newfound road in life, Keiwa’s old group recommended him to join a dance group, where he had thrived.

Nowadays, Keiwa barely manages to visit the dance group and dance with them because of his job interviews. He does visit as often as he can.

But with the added responsibility of being a Kamen Rider, he rarely visits the group, he does reassure them he’s fine.

They panicked when Sara asked them where he was, so did Keiwa’s old group (their memory of panicking over Keiwa was erased from their memory once Keiwa’s was wished back to life.)

Keiwa barely has any knowledge about weapons but as soon as he became Kamen Rider Tycoon, he began to search for weapons and tried to learn how to use them online, its why he was good with a crossbow in his second game.

Official papers say Keiwa’s green band gives him an immense amount of luck, which may be true but one of Keiwa’s greatest strengths is adaptability, he can adapt to any given situation and make things work in his favor, barring sabotage and sneak attacks.

Despite the very modest, very modest, life style they live (apparently Sara sleeps on the couch while Keiwa has a bed, as per the recent episode) they still have a lot of money in the bank and they just spend it frugally and are saving it for emergencies.

Keiwa has made appearances in Neon’s streams, but his back is always on the camera so people often speculate who the tall guy was. It even got to a point where people compared his height to Ace’s height because they thought the mysterious guy was just Ace in disguise and this was also the birthplace of platform heels Ace was born.

Keiwa has been with Neon and Ace a lot that people got a little curious about him, to their respective fanbases, Keiwa’s the mysterious guy that both Ace and Neon knows.

Kurama Neon:

Her streams aren’t limited to her escaping her family home. There are times when she streams while she’s on a trip with her mother.

She also streams whenever she feels like dancing.

As the heiress, she’s lived the loneliest life, even before the reveal of the nature of her existence.

After the incident, she wasn’t allowed to go into schools, until her first year of high school

After meeting Ace for real, the both of them danced for a video, Ace was lucky that Neon wasn’t live streaming.

If its “fight-dancing” Ace can dance very well. He can time his “attacks” to the rhythm of the music, so that’s what she and Ace does in her videos.

Neon is good at baseball, at the very least, she’s a good batter.. She snuck to a batting arena a few times where she was able to hit a lot of the baseballs coming right at her.

She has embraced the cat aesthetic when she was in high school and has been her brand since she started her life as an online personality.

She’s not as bad as the others who always add “nya” in their sentences, which a lot of people found annoying, but she does it with her actions. She once retaliated at Ace in a video imitating a cat scratching an offender, which her audience found cute, (especially Sara)

Michinaga Azuma:

He and Toru were more than brothers.

The both of them just had this mutual understanding about each other.

He was really devastated when Toru died.

He had vowed revenge on every Rider because a Rider killed his best friend.

His angry personality has landed him and Toru in various troubles.

After living life as an orphan, he learned to stand up for himself and become the top dog in no time.

Michinaga has joined the DGP for a total of eight times, ever since Toru’s death, not counting the JGP and DR.

Sumida Kanato:

After retiring from the DGP, he has gained friends. He has learned not to push people away.

Which led him to living a peaceful life, not wishing for the world’s destruction.

Koganeya Morio:

After retiring from the DGP, he has surrendered himself to police custody.

And while he’s still skeevy, he doesn’t con his way into and out of situations.

Ganaha Sae:

Aside from Nadge-Sparrow, he’s the only other Rider that can match Ace in athleticism, she might even surpass him. Ace just has an advantage over her just by being aware of his surrounding space,

Sae is the only other Rider that has utilized a lot of the buckles to their potential without being harmonized with them.

One of Sae’s fears was to see her siblings fight in the DGP alongside her.

Ace has offered to sponsor her athletics career one time, but she almost decked him in the face after she joined the DGP for the second time.

After Michinaga, Sae has joined in the DGP the most times, by five.

well that’s all I have for now, it was fun racking my brains for these headcanons.

Probably dumb question, but how do you deal with getting so much harrasment and bigotry on youtube so well?

Id probably get mental breakdowns if there were hundreds of thousands of bigots harrasing me, even if it was just digitally.

Honestly, I have no idea for the most part!! I guess I just don't dwell on it or look at it all that often, except when I do, I look at it with a comedic lense.

It's funny, these people are obsessed and seething, they focus so much time and energy into attacking me how can i *not* find it absolutely silly. And half the time when they attack my art, they can't even say it's bad, and when they do, I know their game. They just say those things yo say them. I'm confident in my art skills, and I know I'm good, so it's goofy how hard they try to attack me on that aspect. (I do try to delete disgustingly bigoted comments, though, the best I can)

I guess I just know that all of this hate and the things they say about me also aren't genuine or legitimate criticisms. They will say anything to tear me down, and me simply just continuing to exist makes them seethe. I exist out of spite lol

The worst thing I can do to them is just. Exist. Have fun playing games and drawing my silly block headed characters. Continue to be openly queer in ways they don't like. Their hate has absolutely 0 power over me, and I'm not sure how or why it just.... doesn't

Hellooo if it's okay id like to request a haikyuu matchup pls- (don't mind my awkward communication skills btw)

General stuff

Im female (she/her), 17 years old, relatively short (160cm, idk what that is in feet Im European :,)) maybe 5'3??)), my parents are from West Asia (Turkey) but I was born in a german speaking country so somehow i can speak 6 languages now-

Personality

One will realize pretty fast that I am in fact not normal lmao- i'm a bit weird but i'm living for it. I'd describe myself as rather introverted though I'm not shy or timid. I just like to relax and take things slow. I'm pretty easy to talk to if I do say so myself and laid-back as well. I'm also funny apparently (my friend's opinion. Lazy too but we don't talk about that HA-)

Interests/Hobbies

If you couldn't already tell by my ability to speak a lot of languages I am really interested in them. I love to learn new stuff and expand my knowledge in general- I also LOVE listening to music (my earphones are my bebes) and sometimes drawing is pretty tempting as well. Idk why but designing/ decorating is something I tend to enjoy doing even though I don't realize it. Gardening is also a hobby of mine.

Just a few more smaller facts- My love language is quality time and I'm not overly experienced when it comes to relationships. I tend to be drawn to ppl that are open and know what they want. Confidence and loyalty are a big factor.

Thank you in case my request gets accepted <33 bye byeee~

Tsukishima Kei is surprised that he would be fascinated with you!

He's not an easy guy. The type who would retaliate with a sharp tongue before letting anyone in, but you've managed to get past his defenses. It's a combination of not pushing his limits and having the intellect to study languages, which is such a difficult subject. Tsukishima is a person who relentlessly pursues knowledge even if he hides it under such a cool façade. If he discovers that you, as unassuming as you are, can assist him in some way? Even his pride cannot keep him from asking for your assistance while his eyes are downcast, and he tugs at his fingers.

Why not? His demands are straightforward and specific. You start assisting him with his request, but you never expected to catch so much attention for it. You're beginning to see that other girls are drawn to Tsukishima by his good looks without knowing about the twisted personality hidden beneath. His interactions with Hinata and Kageyama, two of his volleyball club teammates, demonstrate his cruelty. A sharp word. A biting laugh. A taunt. Tentatively, you asked him about his personality, and he answers:

( “What gives me the right to be cruel to you? You haven't done anything, and you're helping me.” It could be a trick of the light, but he appears to be blushing into the crook of his arm. )

His meanness, however, is directed at anyone who might criticize you. Those girls' attentions turn negative. He can easily exploit each of their insecurities. This one is far too ugly, this one is far too stupid, and this one is far too pathetic. It doesn’t matter where in the social hierarchy they are because Tsukishima is an ever-loyal attack dog. He’ll take all the heat if it means they’ll leave you alone.

One day, a girl who used to blush pretty when he was close had splashed water in his face. He didn't even blink. You dragged him to the back of the gymnasium and asked Tsukishima why he was willing to go so far for you.

This is too much.

( “You're a moron. I thought you were smarter than this… Why would someone be so protective? Because they like the other person.” )

LillyLi

Going on dates with him is mainly you guys conversing together, although both of you are comfortable to sit in peaceful silence together, talking with each other is the highlight of all the dates.

Simple dates that you and him enjoy with a wide selection of foods while talking about anything. Getting dinner with him enjoying some traditional Liyue food while he tells you stories about his days about being Morax or any topic that comes to mind. Watching him wave his chopsticks still holding food around calmly as he recounts an interesting event that he had seen today.

You guys get desserts right afterwords if one of you guys crave it. You like to point out that his dessert was going to go bad if he didn’t eat it because he keeps on rambling. You love it though. I just think that another ideal date would just be you being out and about while Zhongli watches with literal stars in his eyes.

While he may not know a lot about the sport, he’ll recall some similar things he saw earlier in his life.

Sometimes you guys would do something together like ancient Liyue arts that he is very glad to teach you. He’s so down to simply do anything with you, wether it be practicing some sort of skill with you or simply shopping. In all honesty he just loves being by you and teaching you. Even if you can’t focus on what he’s showing you, he just chuckles at your dazedness and asks if you would like to do something else. He won’t get mad at all of you ask him to show you the steps again, seeing the twitch of your lips when watching him is enough to shine in his memory.

He loves the same things you do! You guys coordinate so well together. He’s more than happy to supervise your hobbies and offer advice while he does the same alongside you. Zhongli appreciates and loves your passion and creativity. He thinks it’s just gorgeous how you could create something so unique and have such a determined dead set mind. He’s always been one to appreciate your passions. He will sing so many praises, going on and on how extraordinary your craft is. Even if it’s simple he’ll always call you skilled and amazing at whatever you had made this time.

He will share his own personal stories that he’s illustrated himself in the form of writing, drawing, and even sculpting sometimes. He’s more than glad to provide you with the materials and guide your hands in his.

Nicknames nicknames nicknames galore.

You physically cannot feel insecure around this man because he will absolutely hold you down and kiss every part of you while listing off every achievement you’ve ever done while also saying that your body is absolutely gorgeous. He drones on and on about how wonderful you are for several hours

While he is the one who usually takes the reigns, he loves it when you talk about something that he doesn’t preciously know. It makes him feel all giddy inside and he shows by complimenting your knowledge on the topic

Please do go on and on about the new thing you had learned. While he does like to chime in here and there he is more than content to listen to you

He just loves cuddling you. Holding you close to his body while you try to sleep.

He’s a bit confused on while you switch up on touchiness so often. One second you wanna wrap your hands around him and the other you make him go the end of the bed. This man really does try to reason with you. Trying to get you to come back into his warm arms. He’s even pouting a little and his tail wraps around your arm to try and tug you back into his embrace. He tells you that sleep didn’t feel right the next day.

Zhongli is so enamored with your athleticism too. He is constantly watching you practice or applauding you when you preform something right. He enjoys watching you and often gives you various tips to similar things.

You often wonder how he never gets bored of watching you workout. He won’t admit it but he keeps himself entertained by letting his mind wander to other thoughts. While he keeps his composure most of the time, there was one time that he really couldn’t help himself with how delectable you looked. Heaving breaths leaving your chest, a smile on your face, and sweat gleaming down your body as you waved at him. He’s insatiable sometimes.

Under that sweet knowing smile he flashes you with he wants to see you sweat and tremble under him.

He gets so entertained when he imagines you riding him instead, letting you use his chest as reigns while he looks up and down your gorgeous body.

He loves the indigent protests you make when you say you can do this by yourself. Gently laughing while reassuring you that he believes in you and that he’s always there if you happen to need assistance.

Zhongli definitely praises you no matter how well you’ve practiced

Zhongli knows how stupidly stubborn you can be. Well he knows he can be too

He watched you struggle to do this one trick that you just couldn’t seem to get down. And you refused to leave only leaving when your body couldn’t physically take it anymore.

He offers advice and reassures you when he carries you because you were so tired that day.

Zhongli absolutely adores when you rely on him, use his shoulder as a pillow, relax in his hold when he carries you, even when you ask him to grab something for you. He loves to be your support pillar because he knows just as well you’ll be right there for him too.

Listening to Zhongli’s words will never get old to you. His soothing, calm, riveting voice that echos through the the room, bouncing off the walls as you lay on his chest. Listening to his rhythmic heartbeat and feeling the slow rise of his chest as you speak. This goes the same for him, as long as you can speak he’ll never not want to hear your voice. He says it sounds soothing to him. The waves of your voice never ceases to make him relax knowing that you are right beside him, living amongst Liyue with him.

Your first couple of dates were very awkward. As you didn’t know how to speak to Zhongli nor did you want to as he, in your eyes was still a stranger to some extent, yet you still didn’t want to turn down his date offer. Well how could you say no? Zhongli is handsome and knowledgeable, sure he can be forgetful but you liked him well enough despite his mysterious knowledge. Zhongli on the other hand rambled a lot, not knowing how to properly converse with you; he simply continued to talk about the little things he saw throughout the day.

It started out as little quips of input as response to him. Even so, Zhongli never budged, instead patiently waiting for you to open up to him more. And it worked. Just talking to him know is enough to set you on a ramble rivaling his.

As much as he is an amazing lover, things can get out of hand all because he loves your thighs more than anything.

They’re always bruised and littered with markings after some more steamy nights. He thinks his bite marks are pretty, they glow slightly orange yellow and look delightful on your thighs. You think it’s some master plan of his to get you to stay with him all throughout the day because god it is so hard to get up with bruised thighs.

You guys are both so fucking stubborn. You aren’t afraid to speak your mind but will never actually discuss with him because you don’t want to be proven wrong. Zhongli wants to cherish his time with you, that’s why he sweeps all of the problems under a rug. It is heavily implied though that he thinks that he is right.

When arguments happen you tend to close yourself off yet yearn for him. While Zhongli pretends it never happens, trying to normally go through the day with a very closed off you.

This goes on and on until you forget the problem because you just miss him too much. You really shouldn’t by the way, eventually he same topic will come up and the cycle will repeat. Just talk with him, don’t be afraid to let your guard down.

It hurts knowing that you’ll be gone one day, but the only thing he could do is simply enjoy every waking moment with you. He makes a personal contract with himself as to never forget you. Every part of you shall be remembered; from your smile to your laugh, even to your tears. He will never let himself remove your memory.

He will be always be by your side. Even if you shut down he’s right there, quietly questioning if you want anything.

Your aesthetics match so well together. He loves the scholar side of you, and he admires you for keeping your place organized.

You guys are so patient with each other actually. It’s kind of difficult to get into fights because both of you are very understanding for the most part

Zhongli will ensure maximum sleep. Always has the right amount of remedies for your perfect sleep. Sure he can get a bit concerned if he shakes you and you still don’t rouse, but it’s much better than you getting bad sleep. The moment you feel restless he’s already getting up to make soothing tea as well as offering a relaxing song fr him to hum as your lay against his chest. He has the best humming voice to sleep to. You will actually have the best sleep of your life.

He enjoys your laugh so much. Actually there’s a mutual feeling of enjoying each other’s voices. You like his deep, soothing, silky voice while he enjoys the melodies of how your voice shines through in his memories.

If he notices other people staring at your body he will absolutely give you his coat. He can’t help it, hall he wants is to keep you to himself and not let you be eye candy for anyone else.

“Dear.” Looking up from your drawing to see your partner standing next to you with a contemplative stare at your body.

He quickly averts his gaze away from your body avoiding eye contact with you, “I’ve noticed that you’ve been really.. sore lately,” looking back at your curious gaze he runs a hand down your back softly, “I was hoping to make you feel better if I massage you.”

Your eyes lit up, “Really? You’d do that for me?”

“Of course my flower, you er- have complained that it was of my own doing to make you this prone.”

As much as you love him, you just can’t let go of the fact that due to him you had to take almost two weeks off of any athleticism. A small smile settled on your face. “Weelll if you’re as good as massages as you are at rambling on and on I’ll be back to my regular activities in no time.” Your voice cheerful with a light tease.

Zhongli looks very slightly guilty, diverting his eyes as he coughs into his hand, face pink with embarrassment. “I- I am sorry for my actions, but please understand you are just.. very tempting my dear lily.” His eyes momentarily crossed to your exposed thighs full of light purple bruises.

He did not look the least amount of embarrassed or ashamed. He couldn’t help but the small twitch of his corner lip as he remembered just how pretty you were under him, looking so ethereal in his mind.

He knows you’d look even more heavenly with oil running down your skin, back exposed to him as he rubs all the knots away from your skin. He quickly averts his thoughts as fast they come. He couldn’t afford to get ahead of himself. Clearing his throat, his smooth rumbling voice reverberating in your body, “So? About that massage my love?”

#this was due several months ago #not my best writing but I will be revising it #I swear #thank you for being patient with me <3

venting and tired.

art is my weakest skill, but i want to practice it. id prefer illustration over digital because of how hands on it is, but i wish i could get used to digital because its a common thing online. everyone draws digitally, or so it seems. but no matter how hard i try to do it, i cant get used to it, or get the hang of it. i dont really understand how to keep the line consistent, and keep the pressure the same. its also hard to use references because of how awkward it feels to have one window open with the program there too. feels clunky. i dont want to give it up either, so i may figure it out, but maybe, i can stick to pen and paper.

there are also some styles i wish to experiment too. more western like cartoons, instead of just being anime inspired. draw curvy characters and muscular ones. fat and voluptuous especially. i just dont feel confident in myself to do it, or be happy with it. but most importantly, i want to do it as horrible as possible, without feeling ashamed, and go on from there. its how i tackle my writings so, yeah. i truly do love art, and all forms of it. i just need to find the right sources, and also learn how to forget some of the awful advises i learned when i was younger. i cant believe i took some artists advice seriously and didnt notice how horrible they actually are, and i mean the artists themselves. but that was back during the deviantart days. hm.

ah well. i hope to figure out my skills somehow.

#blah blah blabbity blah #i just want to do it. relearn it how i want to learn it.#do it horribly too.#because how else can i learn if i dont make mistakes?#i just want to achieve something. nothing realistic but nothing simple either.#just... fine.#for me at least.

Conclusion

when i started this projected i decided i really wanted to challenge myself with the materials i used and what i painted i had 0 confidence in my skills in painting and drawing people but over the last 6 weeks ive definitely started to grow in confidence in my ability's, i used mediums i wouldn't usually like water colour and found i really enjoyed it there is a flip side where i tried things and i didnt like them like for example chalk pastels, if i never had to use another chalk pastel in my life id be happy, i also wanted to get a little personal with my work i dont like painting myself so i wanted to try that do i think half of them looked like me no not at all but i kept trying. i feel happy with my work i would have liked to do more but i think thats just a me thing where i ike to try and over achieve. ive achieved in my opinion what i set out to do and im happy with my work and im excited for what next year brings and want to focus on improving my portrait skills over the summer.

Course Reflection

Throughout this course I followed along with the steps and guidance and guidance Toby provided to the class to learn and practice skills in Photoshop (PS) Adobe Illustrator (AI) and InDesign (ID). I would not only learn the basics of these programmes as well as key features, tools, shortcuts and workflow methods in the moment but would also document and annotate these learnings on my online Tumblr blog. This means that I can look back into my blog anytime in the future and will be able to remind my self of any skills/ minor details to preform skills that I may have forgotten. I see this blog coming in very handy as I already found myself using it throughout the course to look back on as well as for projects in other classes.

Before I came to Polytech and started the fundamentals class all I knew from school were some of the basic tools in Photoshop. So I came into the fundamentals course with very fresh eyes.

I found programmes like AI and ID very difficult because I naturally was use the the processes that take place in photoshop. Things such as holding shift when transforming items in AI was super difficult and frustrating for me to get use to. I also found it hard to understand how curves and handles work and every drawing would encounter a lot of COMMAND + Z's before I could get curves and shapes looking somewhat how I like them. Worse of all the pathfinder just made no sense and I would kind of just randomly click icons and hope they did what I wanted. I think Im also still having a little bit of trouble which frames and images in ID as well as how to use things like fill and stroke or the swatches tab in this programme.

I don't think my ID problems are fully resolved but Im on my way there. I think the way to fix these simple misunderstandings with the programme is to just go through the motions with them and practice. I find now that I naturally use the transform tools correct in AI and can draw shapes just how I want them nearly every time, I can break points, move them around and add new ones. I even find I now know what a couple of different icons on the pathfinder tool do and can confidently cut shapes out of one another with some sense of ease. I feel I achieved this by using AI as much as possible whether it was in fundamentals, DT1 or even on some personal projects. I also think if I do the same in ID and just keep practicing I will be able to fix the problems I have now is well.

During the course I learnt how to use programmes such as ID and AI and well as much better tips and tricks for my workflow and better ways to do things in PS. I learnt heaps of shortcuts and could confidently jump into any of these programmes when needed and could contribute to a body of work.

I was influenced during the course by Toby and Alexia especially if I had any questions to ask they were able to give me one on one support and guide me through anything I needed help with right when I needed it.

I hope to improve on my core skills in ID and would also love to explore more in depth about AI as from what i've learnt while being here, it's the core design programme in the Adobe Suite. I am interested in all the things the pathfinder tool can do as well as some stuff involving gradients which I saw a person using on a youtube video.

I Touched on this earlier but I feel I will definitely be looking back on this blog semi regularly 100 percent over the next few years and possibly even more so into the future. I found some techniques really stuck with me and I can do them very instinctively while others I may not have entirely understood at the time. Yet because everything in annotated in detail on my blog I think looking back and finding the 1 or 2 steps I may be missing to achieve a certain look or complete a particular task will be super helpful and make some of those little mental blocks easy to work through.

My favourite parts of the course would definitely have to be when we did the 'AI flex' as I got to put all the skills I had learnt into 1 quick project on something completely self directed. The result was a drawing I was really happy with and is something I think is quite cool. The other thing would have to be getting to print off the booklet at the end and be able to physically see the work I made and also use it as a little gift for some of my family members.

Throughout the project I used the Moodle, teams and my own blog to help me complete projects throughout the lesson. On top of the lecturing and sometimes personal help that Toby and Alexia provided.

I think I did well to document each thing we did in the course and have a really good beginner to somewhat intermediate form of user manual on how to use the 3 programmes we talked about over the course, (AI,PS,ID). Yet in doing this sometimes I didn't test my skills to the max as I was focusing a lot on workbook meaning throughout some of the projects my work may have came out less detailed or extravagant as my classmates.

I think using this process of documenting your learning somewhat in the moment as you do it is a super good way to learn as you may not directly soak up 100 percent of everything once you walk away and think about the next thing. Yet you will have the base and the key ideas as well as a few extras that stuck with you but because you documented it you also have everything else right at your finger tips and can look back on it when needed in the future.

My goal going into the course were to learn as much about the 3 programmes as possible. I think this goal stood true throughout the process. When creating something one of the most frustrating things is having a vision but your fundamental skills are holding you back and this is something I wanted to prevent from happing to me in the future. So really just soaking up all the little details was a big focus of mine throughout this course.

A challenging moment that stands out for me was learning how to draw with the pen tool in AI. Even when drawing the most simplest of shapes on the first few days I couldn't make them line up properly or just look right in general. Then moving on to drawing more complicated shapes and moving them round and I was completely lost. I think a turning point in the right direction when I finally started sorting out how to use this tool was when I asked the question of how to 'break a point' and once toby explained this to me properly and I learnt about tools like holding down OPTION or COMMAND the whole process changed and I was finally able to start making the tool do what I wanted it too. This would then flow into editing anchor points and handles once the shape was completed and well as actually trying to stick to the idea of holding down SHIFT and trying to as much as possible pull out handles on the vertical and or horizontal axis.

Personally I think the most important thing I learnt was the same as the most challenging thing that I learnt above. Learning how to draw with the pen tool and make it do whatever I see fit opens doors to so many opportunities and I find myself using it nearly everyday. weather it be in other classes for course, Fundamentals itself or even just on a personal project it's become a commonly used part of my tool kit and I really can't believe I designed stuff for quite sometime without navigating this tool.

The only thing I can really think that got in the way when learning my skills was past habits and muscle memories I had learnt in PS which I really had to unteach my brain when moving into programmes such as ID and AI

I think again that I helped myself greatly by keeping my Tumblr blog well detailed so I had everything just a couple of scrolls away whenever I needed it.

I felt other people in the course helped by asking questions and making mistakes as commonly I had done the same thing or was wondering about a similar question when asked. This meant when Toby and Alexia would resolve these problems, commonly for the whole class to listen to I was able to fix where I had gone wrong and not have the lesson start to get to far ahead of me while I was stuck a couple of steps back.

Overall I really enjoyed the course and felt like every lesson I was learning so much all at once. I think a course like this is something I would recommend to others and also 100 percent would do something similar again.

Photo

[Image ID: Shown is a rough pixel art drawing of an anthro zombie raccoon character. They have bright purple fur and high rainbow pigtails. They are wearing various accessories, including a rainbow spiked collar, a rainbow spiked tail band, rainbow sleeves, rainbow chains, a large pink bow, some pink and blue hairclips and a studded belt. They are looking at the viewer. There a static/noise filter applied to the whole image. END ID]

Title: Z0MB1E RACC00N N0 CL1CKBA1T

Had alot alot of fun making this. :] The smiley's, stars and hearts are brushes I made X). Oh and I also made the static/noise texture! I wanted to create a old fuzzy image vibe but it’s also, like the watermark, meant to be obnoxious to nft fans/ai prompters! Two for the price of one!

Warning gigantic wall of text ahead.

Rambling: [about my irrational anxiety and ai prompted creations. I'm okay and please don't worry, k? I just wanted to mention alot of stuff that's been on my mind because lots of artists are probably also thinking stuff like this and might need encouragement. Their also may be typos and incoherentness, so if there is just let me know. probs will edit this later.]

Rambling [About anxiety] if you think that maybe some cheesy encouragement to make 'shit' art might do you some good.

Been going through the classic if I make bad art I am a bad person phase this year again and that combined with how busy I have been with studies and work I haven’t had time to work on improving my art so I have been telling myself that I just can’t make art so haven’t been making much this year honestly. [Again, I just have weird anxiety, please don’t worry k?] So, when making quick rough stuff like this, I feel alot more at peace with just creating stuff. I'll try to ride this 'you are allowed to make stuff that might be a bit or very shit' train for my sake for as long as I can. I feel alot more confident in making my rough paint 3d stuff, making a 'shit' voxel model, make something in 30 minutes in mspaint, draw something using highlighters and old lined exam pad.

Rambling [About 'ai 'art'] if you think that maybe some cheesy encouragement to keep going as an artist might do you some good.

I have been for awhile [and still am aiming for] my art skills getting to the point where I am able to make soft shaded anime paintings with amazing anatomy and super expressive faces and full detailed backgrounds, but with how AI Prompters have shown again how their are people [and big corps of course] that only care about the end product and could care less about human heart and soul, I have been thinking a lot about my relationship to the art I create and I think if you are self-conscious about your art not being good enough, or professional enough or reasonably feel mis-treated as an artist I think you should be kinder on yourself. That you should value the fact that you put whatever amount of skill and love for art you have into your art, whether you started a few seconds ago or decades ago. No matter if you think their are areas you really need to improve in or not. Wanting to improve or make grand things is wonderful and a good thing to strive for but like the whole point of art is just to connect with people, to express whats going on inside you, to analyze or interact with something you love like a video game, movie or book, to let your creativity fly and make your own thing, make a living off your passion by making paid art for people, or even just because you think it would be cool to make something! You, me and many other regular people that are artists and non-artists will continue to care about the soul behind art, about their being a person behind the art. We need to continue to care about human created art. If you are on fence about caring, I urge you to at least consider it. Not just but especially for the people that depend on it but also just for the sake about caring about such a base human thing that has been apart of our culture since basically since we started to exist!

I understand how it's hard lately to keep going as an artist and I am actively having to fight myself against discouraging 'I should just quit art' thoughts, because shit like Ai prompters getting hundreds of followers, selling ai 'art' commissions, training models off specific artists works [including recently decreased ones, mind you!] is very disheartening [Especially with it seeming like they have support of many big corps and sites, including da!] No one should be trying to tell you as an artist or lover of art to not be upset! You have very right to be! Especially if art is your livelihood! Especially if art is very something personal to you! Especially if you rightfully think people should just give a shit about art!

AI Art does suck AND it is actively harming artists work. Especially artists that depend on surviving on their work. If I have a chance of convincing you, someone, anyone that is on the fence or is extremely pro ai prompted creations, I might as well ask you to listen to artists and let them have at least a change to explain why and how ai prompted creations are wrecking the world of art and why artists are rightfully upset.

Please if you can support artists, support them, especially those in need. Doesn't need to just be financially, sharing and engaging with art you think is cool is something that matters as well! We are all just regular people that all are just trying to survive!

Done Rambling:

All of that negativity and positivity leads me to a thing I made spontaneously in 3 days: A very silly very short [2-3 minutes] twine game about the above zombie raccoon trying to escape a rave forest. I really enjoyed making the art for it! It's ‘shit’ and I absolutely love it!

Character[s]:

xX Arc Doom Glitter Xx [OC]

Have a good day/night further!
