"feels like we could go on for forever this way.." (x)

#wooo new header for me <33 #also back to skk posting i missed them sm #wanted to pratice some scenery and try a new style which simplifies my current one and focuses more on colors and painting #and i'm super happy with how it turned out i think i won #for forever fits skk so well it rly brings back the bittersweet memories of when they were once partners and each others halves #and it just feels reminiscent of days gone by and they were once so close but time and life their own decisions have torn them apart #ben platt's voice is so pretty i love this song sm i heard it for the first time again in years and was slammed by all the emotions😭😭 #i was so normal abt deh when it first came out i swear #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd #dazai osamu #osamu dazai #nakahara chuuya #chuuya nakahara #soukoku #skk #lotus draws

i have a billion ideas on the barney clones that i could never write down So. Images

#the 1st image is moreso trying to simplify the Actual Real Photorealstic Blue Shift Barney #but yk #to me barney clones are all almost the same guy #but they all have small differences #and theyre all called barney too #j the last names are different like in the locker room #its funny to me & thats my basis of hcs #hl1 #half life #half-life #barney calhoun #my stuff #half life blue shift #ALSO IDK HOW THE HELMETS WORK #i always made it j a box and a circle #bc im lazy but it like shows their ears #ooeuughh

Looking up fanart for Adventure Time for the first time was like "did you know? Everyone is trans" and I was like "yeah ok"

#simon petrikov #fionna campbell #fionna the human #cake the cat #fionna and cake #quo's art #quo's colors #trying out simplified stuff #its fun to draw circles #try it yourself #I think cake has some case because she was a cat before #and cats do not care about gender #so her whole finding herself as a person can also be about gender why not lol #fionna is fun because that would mean finn is trans to and you can make jokes about deadnames or something #and simon is really funny because vibes

[cosmobrain00]

also not to stir the pot but smtimes when i read fics n will’s attitude towards lonnie is strictly “he’s a deadbeat asshole I hate that guy” it rlly makes me question certain ppl's understanding of wht parental abuse does to someone n will as a character

#girl why r u posting sm tn stfu !!! #n also lie I do not care if this stirs anything up #will byers #cause like. not trying to be an asshole or anything but it just feels vv over simplified ykwim?? #cause wouldn't it be so easy if we could all just hate our abusers n have no complicated feelings abt them whatsoevr?? #also max for example like. cmon guys its right there in the show #byers family

For 💖🎀, what about Marx? Little cute creature concealing incredible magic and uncanny features! I think he could be so mean to her ❤️

oh... anon you are very big brained for this one. he could unfortunately be so so mean to her.... and he has such pretty pretty wings! she would be enraptured instantly.

bonus eye-anim version (cw eyes/flashing gif):

#a moth to a flame... #this is maybe not especially... shippy sorry. he's just... Looming Menacingly. #the way he *always* does in my artwork.... boring. #unfortunately my marx is an intelligent eldritch meanie. *feels* a bit more than my galacta knight but no less grey in the morals. #for what it's worth i DID come up with a short comic for this prompt as well. but it's Not Nice. would y'all still want me to do it? #nothing overt or explicit. but like... manipulation i suppose. mean lies. it's not even About Her really. just a pawn. #and yes his lashes ARE getting bigger every single time i draw him. like he deserves. wings too #i gotta learn to simplify these damn hexagons #actually a very big fan of the implied parallel. cute little uncanny creature. i could do a lot with that actually. there's a lot here. #also if i had to wake up in a cold sweat about this so do the rest of you but: Starx. #Starxstrarx if you're feeling especially mischievous. try and say it aloud. it's what he'd want. you're welcome. #cw flashing #<- only under the cut. but just in case. #marx (kirby) #starstruck dee #my art #🎀💖

oh yeah i also forgot to put this here. right before getting drowned in school work i did some studies/practices/notes with dante’s different hairstyles throughout the series, so here they are

#just kinda tried to simplify his hair into diff sections so its easier to figure out (hence the rainbow dash hair dantes) #the way i draw 1 and 3's hair is also really inconsistent so i tried to practice that here too it was fun trying to figure out how they work #mainly bc i get to stare at pics of dante but still. studies are fun i wish i had time to do more #devil may cry #dante(dmc) #allyart

LMAO I FORGOT TO POST THESE HERE but here’s min-gi park and ryan akagi in my style!!!

these are my first drawings of them as I just recently watched infinity train after putting it off FOR AGES and omg it’s so cool… I’m so happy seeing more east asian leads in cartoons :D

also these two make me so ill /pos

#also man trying to draw simplified cartoon characters to translate into my own style is so strange lol #I’m planning on drawing a full illustration of them sometime but idk when #infinity train #infinity train fanart #ryan akagi #min gi park #rymin #infinity train rymin #digital art #fanart #my art

Hopefully this isn't too weird but I love the way you draw hands, it's like the way you draw them seem just as expressive as the faces on the characters, I just love how they look and I hope I get there someday (if you have any tips please share but if not that's okay!)

I love your art and characters and how you draw their expressions/poses, it's all so nice!

Not weird at all, I'm very flattered! Hands have become extremely important to me, I tend to put a lot of effort in trying to get them look just right. I'm still not where I want to be with them but improving nonetheless. If you ask me, a thoughtfully and intently drawn hand can be almost as expressive as a character's face, just like you said. They're such complex and intricate structures with massive emotive and aesthetic potential, it'd be waste to not make use of them in art.

#as for the tips I guess I like to reference my own hands a lot #take photos and use mirrors if you can't get the angles right otherwise #look at your hands like you've never seen them before basically #I also love to watch animated films and really focus on the hands because due to the nature of the medium a lot of animators have really #perfected simplifying hand shapes and gestures in a way that is easy to read visually and communicates feelings extremely effectively #it's funny many artists develope a signature way of handling hands and I often look at their art and wonder if their own set of hands looks #similar to their style #I try to give my ocs a bit of variation but my default hands (and Machete's hands) seem to be just my own little gremlin mitts #at least more often than not #answered #anonymous

XIN YA MOMENT

#FINALLY. TOOK ME TWO FUCKEN DAYS TO DRAW THIS DUDE #I made it way too detailed cause I wanted em to look fancy but I’m probably gonna simplify it any time I draw them anyway shfjgsg #i changed my mind way too many times trying tk figure out Colors for them. I’m actually happy with how this came out!!!! #if you squint the sash and jinbu is a reference to sailor HEHE.. I tried to make it stand out without contrasting too much so you can tell #-that it’s not part of Xins aesthetic more like a piece of him they carry around with them <3 they make me ILL #I should also mention they can’t nock arrows for shit. they just use em to stab and cut things apart hence the lack of a bow #it was left by one of the scholars before the island was abandoned so they were like ooh stabby stabby #I just realized I put braces on both their arms and legs but I’m too tired to do anything abt it. I’ll just symmetry win this time #still need to make a quick ref for their pelt pattern and coat. I’ll slap em on artfight when activity dies down shjdgbd #my art #myart #my oc #oc #lmk oc #Monkie kid oc #Lego Monkie kid #lmk #Monkie kid #fan character #Xin Ya #furry #I guess??? #reference #reference sheet #artfight #artfight 2023

I had an idea for cornpea Käärijä:

What if he wanted to go into botanical studies to find out where he comes from, and he sprouts grains and legumes in the kitchen and looks at them through a magnifying glass to see if the sprouts on his arm when he was a baby look anything like it? :´)

I´m sure you have enough ideas as it is but I can´t stop thinking about it and wanted to know what you thought of it <3

is he trying to grow himself some friends or planning to have a snack? hmmmm...

(peanuary day 25)

#käärijä #peanuary #not to worry i never have too many ideas for the corn pea boy! <3 #also it's always super fun to draw other ppls ideas for him that i never would have thought of myself :D so thank you!! #i simplified your idea a bit bc my mind got kind of stuck on the thought of him as a lil gardener 😆 & i loved that! #but aww the thought of him trying to figure out how he came to be is kind of a sad one to me ngl 🥺 #bc it implies he's the only one of his kind & all alone but he doesnt want to be 😭
