Posting a censored version of my drawing here cuz the original somehow got my account marked as explicit on my main.. 😭
Idk if I’ll get my account fixed. I mean idk why tumblr marked me as explicit, I added a mature label to it since artistic nudity is allowed as long as there’s a label, but for some reason that didn’t work.
I’m gonna be using this blog until I get my main fixed, if it even does.
Anyways, enjoy my lil render experiment with tiffany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i finally did the open collab that @sketchy-tour made
Molly getting some face painting done
(she asked for hearts specifically! she loves the idea of hearts on anything! she’s just getting rather flustered, but this doesn’t have to be interpreted as shipping!)
FUCKING INCREDIBLE! Hiccups with slow-mo aside I was really pleased with how this came out. I love how the addition of (spoiler) made the blood look extra gory, and the gunk dripping off the sledgehammer looks awesome.
Pattern + progress pictures below (I'll reblog later with the video my dad made of the whole process + the slow-mo clips):
Preparing the pumpkin and stencilling the pattern on:
You pin the pattern to the pumpkin and poke the outline with a pin, or some kits have a tool for it.
Carving progress:
I thinned out the walls of the pumpkin to make it easier to carve details, and so it would crunch better.
More pics of it lit up!
I want to edit these later to remove the flashlight but i created ORB
Lastly the fake blood! It's just good old corn syrup and food colouring. We used cake gel because it was more concentrated, but we still watered down the syrup so it would splash better. I used mostly red with a dab of blue.
We didn't have enough blood to completely fill the pumpkin, so we shored up the bottom with dirt. That actually turned out really well because it ended up looking like gross, clotted blood or guts.
The pattern I used (made it from the logo, just edited slightly so the bits won't fall out):
Just be sure to print it in landscape mode so it fills the page!
This project was super fun and I look forward to designing more pumpkins this spooky season. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to do this blood-smashing thing again, but I will try to take more videos and pics for sure.
Following is my translation of Sebek's voice lines for his platinum jacket card.
Spoilers after the cut
Summon
⚡: A hundred years of history are contained within this museum… Doubtless, portraits of our liege shall someday grace its halls.
⚡: We're to be supporters, eh… Very well, no matter the task, I always give it my maximum attention. Nary a patron shall pass me by without learning of the museum's splendor!
Home Lines
⚡: LET US CELEBRATE THE CENTENNIAL!
⚡: The card soldiers endeavored to satisfy each of the Queen of Heart's grueling demands, and I do not blame Deuce for admiring them so.
⚡: He keeps yawning, but could it be? That man there, admiring the artwork with such a serious gaze, could it really be Leona Senpai…?
⚡: For sixteen years the Thorn Fairy's subordinates worked diligently on a strenuous mission given to them by their Lady. What astounding loyalty!
⚡: Naturally, fine art is included amongst my studies. As one of Lord Malleus's retainers, one can never acquire too much knowledge.
⚡: That blasted Ace. He poked fun at me and then ran off. Don't just up and leave while someone's talking!
⚡: Even when surrounded by a swarm of soldiers, her magnificence is unparalleled. As expected of the Thorn Fairy; 'tis only natural she should be counted amongst the Great Seven.
⚡: As one of the Young Lord's guards, 'tis necessary for me to wear this sort of formal attire - and to wear it well.
⚡: Vil Senpai made a rather strange analogy earlier, about how painting is not unlike applying makeup, but I couldn't quite understand what he meant. I can't see how they're possibly related.
⚡: When admiring artwork in person, one is able to observe in great detail the texture of the paint, and where the artist left their brushstrokes behind. 'Tis not something one can gleam just from reading books.
⚡: You wish to explain this piece to me? You've no need - is what I'd normally say, however, I shall use this as an opportunity to ensure your docent skills are up to par.
⚡: What is it? Ah, you wish to enquire on my gift shop purchases? Very well, then. Behold! A towel with the Thorn Fairy's design on it!
Groovy
⚡: There's no telling just what lurks within the shadows of that forest, and yet she simply stands there, conversing with those beasts without a care in the world… What a thoughtless little human.
DUO
⚡: ROUSE YOURSELF, ACE!
❤️: Geez, Sebek! R.I.P. my eardrums!
I posted a summary of this card's vignette on my twitter account here.
...Akira Toriyama died, honestly, of all the people i i thought we might lose this year, no, THIS DECADE, that man was definitely the very last one. Rest in Power
I really thought he would experience Shigeru Mizuki levels of longevity. This one hit me hard, not like any artist or celebrity death in my lifetime. Just instantly felt numb and empty. As a toddler, drawing shovel-faced Dragon Ball caricatures in spiral bound notebooks was my formative experience with visual art and the bedrock for anything I've drawn or observed about art ever since. Only Kenji Watanabe's early TCG work had a comparable hold over me. Growing older and realizing that he was genuinely one of the greatest comic draughtsman and designers who ever lived ensured that impact would survive into adulthood. Can't believe he's already gone.

✨ Thank you so much for participating! See you in the next one!! ✨
Anyway here's my submission for the DougDoug Art Contest. I've grown a lot as an artist since the last time I submitted something for Rosa's birthday back in 2021 (still can't believe I won that year lol)
I wanted to give this year all I got, even busted out the Live2D to animate it! R.I.P my iPad though, she doesn't have much life left after this one.
Making this really cheered me up, as things have been going pretty bad in my personal life. Because of that, I hadn't had much energy or time to draw, but with this I was really excited to work on it nonstop! I hope my art can bring others the same joy it brought me while creating it!
