I like to think he has no concept of value and no need to measure time. He just likes how shiny it is.
This piece was inspired by prompt one from the Draw All The Things challenge. However I suffer a high rate of burnout and will not be tackling the challenge daily, just using it for inspiration :D
What better way to celebrate everything SessKag than a festival dedicated to our favourite couple?

I’ve decided to participate in this 30 day art challenge as a way to practice my character design. I will be taking all 3 prompts for each day and combining them into one cute girl design! Wish me luck~!
Day Number 1, the prompt is:
Wild animal, Thief, Winter.
This one’s was pretty fun to do, and fairly easy~!
I kind of immediately knew what I was gonna do for this one, hopefully things go as smoothly for the next prompt! 😅
So I don't think you're a visual artist -- I mean you might be, but if so you haven't been sharing any of that stuff here -- but are you familiar with AdorkaStock? Pose photo reference done in fitted neutral outfits (so clothing won't interfere with the form, but also there's no nudity, making it more accessible). LIFESAVER for anyone who draws. Buttloads of stuff on dA, a bunch of stuff on their own website. Anyways, I'm mentioning you them because I thought you might want to have a look, see if there's any poses that make you go "yes, THAT is what this ship looks like" and pass around.
I'm really not one for drawing fanart -- my brain demands accuracy in what I do whenever that's an option, and "having to look up every single potential detail of a character's outfit, otherwise my mind starts screaming at me" isn't my idea of a good time -- but you'd mentioned being part of an MK fanworks discord, so there might be people there who'd find it useful if they don't already know it.
Anyways, I'll link you some sections, sorry for the rambling, apparently I'm shutting down earlier than expected: https://www.deviantart.com/adorkastock/gallery/9368407/three-or-more-groups and https://www.adorkastock.com/pose-category/count/double/ (There's more stuff on the dA simply because that's been around for longer.)
I have ZERO artistic skill but I know a bunch of folks who are and I will absolutely share in the fanworks Discord because there are a lot of artists over there who would enjoy it! :D This is a great resource, thank you.
i love the artistic stylings of studio ghibli as much as anyone else does but im kind of sick of anything with like vivid environments and big blue skies being branded as ghibliesque. because its like. you know where else you can hypothetically find some vivid environments with big blue skies? my friend the great and wonderful outdoors are here for you
