#venting in the tags #maybe its just past darkness and the Bad Thoughts which i shouldnt listen to are clouding my brain too much #but i feel so fucking weird and inadequate over everything rn #im unable to work on drawings as i usually would have and its kinda plaguing everything which it should like yeah i love drawing but #i cant let just one aspect of me ruin everything. right? the fact that i havent been able to draw as well as i usually can should make me #feel sick to the stomach and unsure about everything i do but it happening and i hate it. #plus i got the ipad id saved up from the comms to buy and its fun and nice and all and maybe i just need more practice with it but i feel #like im not able to draw on it even more? and i spent the whole day trying to get used to it but its just not as good?? and then when i went #back to the no screen wacom i couldnt get a hang of it becuase idek its just not happening #and also the fucking art block wants me dead i swear i want to draw so bad and i have so many ideas but the moment i start anything its just #crumbles down into nothingness and i hate everything i do and gods fuck i want to cry but i can because there are people at home and #usually im a big 'crybaby' when im at home but i dont fucjing wanna be like that anymore like i can handly my shit myself im fine. #i dont need to just fuckinf cry abiut it becuase thats not gonna fox anything but also i feel like crying might just make me feel better #but then id have to hear shit from my family and i know theyre just teasing in a /pos way but i dont wanna fucking deal with that #plus my brother iust talking to him os annoying sometimes like he talks about things so condescendingly and fucking hel dude shut #the fuck up i dont need you telling me that my art is something people can 'just do' and the fact that i was able to get the ipad #'basically for free since i got that money from the little drawings i make' as if they dont fucking mean anything to you like #shut the fucking fuck up dude i worked hard on those and even though i dont like my own shit sometimes i still fucking work hard on those #fuck you you bitch #i think a lot of things are just piling up and i need to sleep #tomorrow will be a new dawn and a fresh start and maybe ill hate myself less #ps. note to anyone reading the tags #im fine i just needed to yell out and express my frustration a bit. some sleep will help surely.

[spicymotte]

how do people draw with procreate, I’m so used to CSP and all the luxuries of the asset store that I feel like I will never get along with procreate

#every time I try to draw on my iPad it feels so WEIRD #and looks so bad :(

[kellerybird]

I think my tablet is dying. I've been using it for maybe an hour and the battery is already under 50% despite being at 100% when I first grabbed it.

#my gut is so twisted rn its weird #like i have this deep anxiety about it now #granted my ipad is like 6 or 7 years old now so it was bound to happen eventually #but the battery has never drained that quickly even when drawing on it for hours #god it feels like im about to put down a beloved pet wtf why am i getting like this over a device????? #maybe that's a sign im way too attached to my things #rink.txt #the ipad saga

[iinmysights]

if someone felt like going under the #ask game tag n sending in an ask or two for me to answer on saturday abt either caedes or kori (but kori’s my main bestie rn) id rlly appreciate having the distraction available 🧍‍♂️

#Ravage.txt #i’m flying very early saturday morning :( gotta wake up at 4 when i’m used to like 8:15-30 and i feel physically nauseous thinking about tsa #and waiting at the gate to board. i’m totally fine with the plane itself which is weird bc a guy i know is the exact opposite and i feel #like his anxiety about it is more ‘normal’ but i. really do not do nottt do well with this my dad has anti anxiety meds i think but i ain’t #taking shit that i don’t trust 😭 i really wish my friend was flying with me instead of meeting me n my fam at the destination it’s a lot #easier if she’s next to me. i’m downloading so many playlists/albums and making sure my ipad is fully charged so that i can hopefully do #some drawing or smth while i wait :( #tbh i might even send myself a couple of asks in advance or some shit. just to have SOMETHING to think about that isn’t the goddamn airport

Happy 2 Year Anniversary to The Chara Timeline ✨

I FINALLY made drawing references for you guys, yippie!✨

It’s wild how long I’ve been working on this comic without reference sheets. I’m never that consistent with my art style, so I figured it was a waste of time 🫥💀😔 this is my first full comic okay…

Thoughts and Feelings About the Comic Below ❤️💖💕💞

Wow. It’s been 2 years??? I thought I would be done with this comic in 2 months! I don’t know whether to feel worried or accomplished!!

(With months between each update, I understand why it’s been 2 years. I’m a slow writer and artist and well- many things have come up in my life that had to come first, like my sisters wedding! 💞 and college 😅)

I want to thank my family and friends (WHO DO NOT READ THIS COMIC- THANK GOD) 💕 AND I want to THANK YOU! The readers! 💐💐

You guys are relentless! I’m as impatient as traffic and yet you guys wait for weeks or months at a time for like 4 pages?! You guys don’t even complain!!! I truly want to thank you all for that ❤️ it helps me so much. Being busy and getting burnt out are common and it helps me feel relaxed that i'm not on a timer. Literally tho- you guys keep this comic chugging I swear. Tysm 💐

Unorganized rambling about the comic ahead :) ⭐️🔥

—

My feelings with this comic are actually so complicated. On one hand I hate looking at my older art because GOD IT LOOKS SO OFF I want to stab it, and then on the other hand I am so so proud of myself for even continuing it this far. Ngl the weird route has been one of my favorite parts of this comic. It took me FOREVER to figure out an ending, but damn do I still get chills >:) hehe.

I’m still miffed that I named this project “Deltarune: The Chara Timeline” I could have gone for something so much COOLER. Doesn’t help I use like 7 different titles for it either. We got Deltarune the Chara timeline, Deltarune chara timeline, THE Chara timeline, chara timeline, Ct??? Man,,, I’m crazy. I take after my family so hard. We have 3 names for each of our dogs 💀.

Comic/Animation Tip i have learned. It is VERY GOOD to make the character relatively simple in design. Shape language is also super important, ((but I never really got around to doing that before I was half way through the comic, woops.)) These things can make ur process go by so much faster. This whole comic has been a HUGE learning curve. LIKE OH MY GOD. I had to learn how to draw backgrounds, write dialogue, plan a story, learn how to draw fast and draw noses (which god damn I really still can’t). And I had to learn how the heck to squeeze art into a tiny page and make it not look grainy. It's intense!

Anyways.... this has been such an awesome opportunity! Thanks Toby Fox!

I totally ran out of “art time” for my iPad and wanted to finish this today. So it’s a bit rushed. I’ll add weapons and possibly the other characters later :)

Oh shi- I forgot to add this grainy image of the next few pages lmao

#chara is literally built like a rectangle. idk why ive never noticed that #a thick greenbean #and Asriel is kinda half and half when it comes to standing on his toes or regular foot. He has a more top heavy approach to his balance #bread #undertale #deltarune chara timeline #my art #chara #asriel #character sheets #character references #art #deltarune #happy 2 year anniversary!!!! #college chara #college asriel #darkworld

Carian Stroll

“Tell Blaidd, and Iji…I love them.”

Before this piece, I had been wanting for a long time to create my own piece of Elden Ring fanart featuring Ranni. I had tried several sketches unsuccessfully, just wasn’t particularly feeling the ideas I had sketched up until that point.

One day of usual internet scrolling, I stumbled upon this gorgeous piece of art by Shimomura Kanzan.

I knew immediately I wanted to do something like this for my Elden Ring fanart. In fact, if you look at this piece, there is tons of inspiration that I drew from the original artwork, such as the style of the yellow leaves and the main subject matter being a prominent silhouette of the brightest value, placed at approximately the bottom third of the image.

The main character is cleverly shrouded amidst various layers of trees and foliage, giving us the impression that we're peeking into candid moment of their life. In the case of the fox, we caught it during a mid-day snack. In the case of Ranni and her party, we caught them in a leisurely stroll, while Iji outfits the dreaded Fingercreepers with their iconic rings.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to capture a happy moment, but Ranni goes as far as to ask us to deliver to Iji and Blaidd the message that she loves them dearly as her quest draws near its end. I would imagine they all must have had fun moments together as a family. Hey, maybe even the hands liked to be around them?

The process

I started this on my iPad using the procreate app. Sadly the full process is not captured on video, as I switched to Photoshop for the rendering phase of the illustration. This video is a fun window into my chaotic process and how I iterate on the fly on the same canvas. I probably wouldn't do that in a professional setting where you often need to have color keys and iterations to be reviewed and analyzed. I like to I cut myself some slack when doing personal art to keep things fun.

Trying and failing some more

This illustration was not a straightforward path. I haven’t been very diligent about personal art, and at some point I started deviating too much from my reference by adding too many levels of depth to the background and suffocating the piece. I got into a weird loop where I would randomly open the PSD, play around with the values, pushing Iji to the back, then bringing him back, cranking all the levers on Ranni, etc., decide it would look horrible, then begrudgingly determine I’d never complete this image and go on with my life.

As artists we likely have unfinished work sitting everywhere, be it in our sketchbooks, canvases, or hard drives. But it’s a different kind of sting when you feel like you can’t even nail the fundamentals.

Anyway, so a couple weeks ago, I decided to give it another go, but this time I would get rid of all the unnecessary stuff, even stuff that I had been trying to render for ages. I would not hold on to anything, I would try and recapture what drew me to Kanzan's beautiful painting to begin with.

After it became a matter of pushing and pulling pixels until the image was finished!

That’s about it. I didn’t go crazy in depth but lately I’ve been enjoying reading into artists’ processes and I’d be remiss to not share my own thought process also.

Thank you for viewing!

How did you learn to do comic formatting? Did you follow a tutorial? Or are you more self-taught. Do you use comic book page templates or no?

UHH haha

Self taught. I have no formal art schooling. I like to read a lot of manga and enjoy when the pages are like pictures in their own right, and the panels help draw the readers' eye. I like to make them part of the story, too.

I draw everything in Procreate on my iPad, so the base is eyeballed from page to page. If I need a page that isn't the standard 3x3 blocks of stuff happening, I draw the art and characters without any panels, then draw the panels after everyone is in place for those wacky, dynamic panels.

Onyx did cut right through one of the panels in episode 3, too. Utterly destroyed them, and then weird stuff started happening to the format. All depends on how Onyx is feeling, I guess.

[WARNING: Comic may contain dark topics, blood and gore as in classic Murder Drones fashion. Viewer discretion is advised.]

[likes and reblogs are appreciated <3]

Some more context with my Murder Drones Skin and Bones AU!

[PART 1 > PART 2 (Coming Soon!)]

This time we are with N, after he was tied to the tree for weeks like in canon, but since they are humans, it was ALOT worst. Basically he went through hell, only to wake up on a surgical hospital bed, his body feeling like it was burning from the inside out and tubes connecting all over his body, bringing a painful yellow liquid through.

V is next to him, all wrapped up in bandages and dried blood all over the medical table. J looks...really weird...and her feet look odd. His vision is blurry and he can barely see, and he's exhausted.

All he can see is his younger sister, but something is wrong with her too. She's not strapped to a medical table, and she is spouting nonsense about a new directive, as well as weird goopy arms coming out of her back.

The Elliot's are nowhere to be seen and CYN says they have went on vacation, that him and his friends weren't briefed about before they left?? Odd....

What is going on?

P.S Guess who got a REAL screen professional drawing tablet! To finally do some awesome art and animations with aside from my IPAD! Im so excited to start drawing on it when it comes! More art coming soon!

Unsure if to posts these in my proper art account because I am still not very happy with the current PM situation so it feels awkward to post my fanarts now but I almost lost all of my drawings because of weird iPad security stuff so. Baeks from June

I was looking at your FAQ and saw that you use an Intuos tablet! Do you still use that one for drawing? What are your thoughts on screen tablets vs screen-less tablets?

I do! I've used an Intuos Pro Medium for the better part of a decade now (and before that an Intuos 4) and I'm just so used to it that screen tablets feel kinda weird to me. I did have an iPad for a while and even tho the apple pencil was amazing and procreate is an excellent problem, the tablet itself was pretty small so drawing on it was kind of a pain. It just never really clicked for me and I did give it a good try for like 2-3 years.

But my intuos feels completely intuitive to me. I don't see myself switching it out any time soon.
