anthy himemya, circa 1909

[id: A digital painting of a medium dark-skinned girl, anthy, with violet hair in a rolled updo. She has green eyes and circular glasses, and wears a pair of gold jhumka earrings. She wears an edwardian era jumper dress in a soft green, with a ruffled lacy blouse beneath and a thin, s-bend magenta sash belt. Her expression is neutral and she rests one gloved hand on a table, behind her is a background of green bushes. End id]

The train will go to the next station without fail! @battle-couple-battle

#I thought of it on rwby fight but genuinely did not have ability to do it. I like its versatility - even upon poll loss it still fits. #The way I did tones is far more fitting for colors but I am simply would not have been able to choose them wisely. #GG hope it was fun and thanks to the organiser! #risuyu #вышедшее из под моего пера #Also doing it made me understand that hikaren is actually balanced tone-wise against eachother #I don't know... I hate compositions that break the way things are to highlight whatt you intend to show but you gotta do what you gotta do. #I just hope that someday I'd be able to choose angles of perception rather than conveniently break reality #shoujo kageki revue starlight

He’s trying to be cool about it but he shouldn’t have opened that and you should probably get out of there…

#shepherds of haven #red antiqua #like everyone else I’ve been playing bg3 and every time I talk to Gale I want to talk to red instead #also Anders but like out of all of them red is the standout favourite #less… explosive……. yanno #I just threw shoujo flowers and a bunch of textures on this I’m rly happy with his hair and skin #I’m not sure on the composition but I guess it’s a learning curve #this was originally part of a bunch of sketches I did of red and I took it and made it it’s own picture #I just love him ok #the writing in the book says something about how these demons can only be banished with a filthy pash so he has his work cut out for him #and he doesn’t want you to see #impulsivity got the best of him again #mc…… uh. I’m so happy to see you but uh. don’t watch this I’m begging you #guess he’s wearing normal people clothes and I don’t have a reason for why except that I think red wears big jumpers when he’s not in #slutty mage gear #fanart #fantasy #if games #shoh

Honestly, if you had to ask me what one thing makes Shaft anime so distinct aesthetically, I'd probably say the blocking

There's a lot else at play, but every anime I've seen by the studio is just full of shots of perfectly-posed characters, subtle when they need to be, but just as often quirky or outlandish

The studio is clearly good at hiring people who know how to frame a shot and how to maximise the potential of a character's design

#it feels like FOREVER since ive drawn a full scene background! i cant believe i used to do multiple a day last artfight! #its nice to revisit this style too. since it takes a lot of lighting and composition planning i rarely use it anymore but i keep missing it! #drawing #artists on tumblr #drawings #manga #anime #artist #mangaka #rkgk #original character #original character art #oc #ocs #of spark and cats #spark iskra #catherine sparks #miss flame #manga character #shoujo manga

Yeah, I’m at the stage where I start thinking back on other characters and point at them like, “reigen energy.”

#i keep telling my friend that I don’t really consider myself a reigen fan or a fan of mob psycho as a whole #but I guess all this seems to contradict it huh… #anyways reigen energy means many things and can also fluctuate within a character #for instance. under certain circumstances. #nozaki from gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun has reigen energy. #(on a specific axis. hang on. maybe I need to make a graph. composite reigen energy graph.) #(I’m not going to make a graph this is a joke) #personal malkylife

Remnants of summer

Day 2 - Bloom 🎇✨ I'm a sucker for fireworks, summer festivals and heartfelt speeches💛

#inktober #tdp #the dragon prince #day 2 #aaravos #callum #my art #tbh this was intended for a summer comic #but I was dead #so #enjoy this shot #it does look like I pulled this straight from a shoujo manga #I'm studying weird lighting for atmospheric purposes and I kinda like it! #please look at them #ty #jamie is my name and composition is my game--- #i love atmospheric readings in paintings idk man #ok nough rambling #hey there people who read tags #here's what he's saying to him #I - want to stay together like this...with you! Forever! #sounds like a confession #but probably isn't #or is it? #eh i refuse to give them labels #he wants to stay with his master forever #that's it~ pure and simple

miracles don't grow from flowers how could you forgive her? teardrops drip off daffodils yet you swallow all that's bitter

#revolutionary girl utena #juri arisugawa #rgu fanart #rgu juri #shoujo kakumei utena #i adore juri #the flower crown is supposed to be from Shiori begging for forgiveness but i couldnt fit her in the composition so hands only #juri and shioris relationship is very interesting to meeeee #daffodils can symbolize forgiveness #i am always down for flower symbolism

pmmm sketches

[nicomrade]

i get it if u truly rarely read stuff thats written right to left and i will admit some stuff youll see cropped on social media is NOT clear on reading orientation unless ure already familiar w the source material but sometimes (most of the time!) the composition tells you what order to read stuff in. like read some shoujo like sugar sugar rune is a great one at teaching you how to instinctually move from one bubble to the next without following a strict "its read in this direction" rule. like that dunmesh pic the first bubble you read is the highest one thats so natural and like basic comic composition. or this other rui comic i just knew what order to read it in before i could tell if it was japanese or american or what

cuz again, the first bubble is the highest. and also the 2nd panel has the blackboard in the bg linking it visually with the first one. it flows like: the blackboard -> zoom out to show the teacher in front of the blackboard -> camera moves to show the rest of the class. its elegant! the composition tells you what order to read it in!!!!!

this isnt how comics (regardless of language & country origin) are ALWAYS drawn but they OFTEN are. this flow between the speech bubbles and drawings so you naturally move from one to the other is so essential. we have moved past numbering panels and having arrows pointing to the next one not cuz now everyone Knows how to read comics but because we have developped OTHER more elgant composition tools that give you this information instead ! u gotta develop this instinct like come on!! not so ull read random cropped images right but so ull eventually read a full book without straining for what bubble comes next and therefor enjoy it more and pay attention to other things. this too is reading comprehension

#w physical media its easier of course cuz which way the spine is gives u half of the info but as mentionned theres stuff that zigzags #shoujos notably have this airy feeling to them a lot of the time where ull read them wrong if ure too stuck on ''its right to left'' #taniguchis mirrored editions trip me up w this cuz not ALL panel compositions r flipped so sometimes the bubbles dont actually flow x_x #depends on the specific book as well some are mirrored beautifully etc etc etc anywayz read some shoujo right now

Update on Afternoon Sunrise!

So, me and Kay (@kaygj ) decided to rename our song from Afternoon Sunrise to 空と少女の歌 (Sora to Shoujo no Uta) if we have made errors in grammar and kanji, let us know!
