Okay so I've got a confession.
Writing alone isn't my favorite medium, it's actually drawing and I've been ITCHING to pull out my tablet again!
I decided to take on drawing challenge for my OCs. Starting with the first one that had a proper name. Will post link to his original ask when I have the energy to dig for it.
Ithio had a really nebulous appearance in the ask he came from, but I always imagined there was reason he didn't remove his helmet when finally talking with his Bird of Paradise.
And when I was doing my design for him the other features just felt right.
He's self conscious about how his favorite patron would view his mutations and his battle damage. (They think he looks cute and cool but shhhh, he doesn't know that.)
And again though it was only implied, Ithio and his brothers are chaos mutated. They're not just Emperor's Children, they're Noise Marines.
Which makes their territory being a loud popular skating rink make more sense. They are also very protective of the place, and its patrons.
Which is part of the reason Ithio got so attached to his little Bird of Paradise, it's already in his mind that he should protect and nurture beautiful things so they reach their full potential.
As for his tail, I imagine he can hide that with Chaos glamour, or the idea I prefer, wrapping it around himself inside his armor.
When his horns stick out, they just look like helmet decor.
His pauldron art was originally a regular winged serpent. His Bird of Paradise and him collaborated on the new design. Guess where they got the inspo. :)
Planning to do more soon. Hope Ya'll Enjoy!

Traveler’s Log
Entry 3 - Deliveries
Being a traveler isn’t always adventures.
Today it was my turn to be on delivery duty, delivering reports and paperwork to the various branches across the planet. Thankfully the portal hubs are so convenient. Each of the ten major cities has a portal hub. I’m not sure how they work, but the portal gates are serious magic. The team that creates them are masters with dimensional crystals and magic from them. I think I heard something about them operating off of ley lines.
There’s definitely a lot of energy flowing through them. Do not try to eat it. It’s yucky.
Your energy tastes are kinda limited to psychic energy, Psy. But I would not recommend messing with the portal gates or the energy they run from.
They also serve another purpose, they keep extraneous portals from forming in the cities. At least, as often. There have been a few, but the natural ley line nets cities are built on are stable enough to repel or weaken the random dimensional holes.
Out in the rural areas, dimensional portals can be large and destructive. That's why it's so important for the guilds to patrol the planet. People still live out there, and the guild's job is to protect everyone on the planet, whether they're native of visiting.
Uncontrolled, the planet could collapse and destroy itself. The more stable we can keep it, the less annoyed the Novae are as well. They could easily destroy our entire dimension if the planet sends out too many unstable inter dimensional waves into their space. It's best to find, stabilize, and close any portals we can find to other dimensions, and help people and objects return to the dimensions where they belong. At least, the best we can. Sometimes returning is not an option, for various reasons. Thankfully those cases are rare.
Sometimes we get to go to other dimensions to rescue people! And one time Guildmaster talked about he had to go fight a crazy government because they were opening wild unstable portals so often they were going to destroy themselves! And maybe our home too!
Fight is a strong word I don’t remember her using.
That’s how I remember it!!
Ok, ok, fine, you can say it like that.
Admittedly, the cities are not perfectly stable, especially near the edges. I’ve filed and seen reports of small portals opening and random objects come out within the stable cities. Socks, letters, keys, coins, and other random, sometimes unidentifiable objects. I think one time I had to hunt down a book from mom’s library that a patron had fall through a tiny portal. The giant bird did not like me taking it back from their nest.
And it tried to eat me!
You were the one that brazenly charged in yelling about being a distraction. Besides, I don’t think that creature could eat energy beings like yourself. You were safe. I would not have let you go if it was something like an energious snake.
Thank you, Vaga
No problem Psy.
Vaga, signing off

DC x DP fic idea: Love Among Fans
Damian Wayne would be the first to admit he had difficulty connecting to others his age. The only thing he knew well was the unforgiving bloodlust of battle and while that helped him fight as Robin it didn't mean it made a well liked Robin.
Civilians flinched away from him, and Police officers stood weary around him. He cares not for the crooks' opinion of him, but he knew it is low.
Worse, other teenage heroes didn't like him around. The Teen Titans had rejected his membership after the three months trial run. Young Justice made excuses after the first two. Even the Outlaws said he was too much to be around, and Todd ran that one.
Of course, his brothers did their best to let him down gently but they could not force the rest of their teams to accept him.
That's why Jon meant so much to him. His best friend had been displeased initially with Damian's behavior, but he had been willing to still get to know him.
Jon had the patience of a Saint. He discovered what worked for Damian and how to help him breach the gaps between them. Damian knew little of what he had missed as a kid, but Jon never made him feel less for it. He carefully explained, opening his world to wondrous new things and Damian tried them all because Jon asked him to.
There was very little he wouldn't do for Jon.
"Have you ever read fanfiction?'" Jon asked one afternoon in the Kryptonian's room.
"No." He grunts, knowing the other wouldn't take offense to the short reply.
Jon smiles, pushing the tablet he had been scrolling on. "You should! This is my current favorite. It's about the show Space Ninjas, you like."
Damian appreciated the show's art and animation, so he took the tablet and clicked on the first chapter. Jon pulled out his phone, and got comfortable on his bed as Damian read.
And read and read and read.
Three days later, he lay on his bed staring at the ceiling, unsure how to deal with real life until the author posted another chapter. He been texting Jon about the story and hosting over amazing character interpretation, theories on what the upcoming twist would be and just about how amazing this piece of art is.
Jon sent back multiple reaction gifs and links to the author's blog, where fans had posted art of the fic. Damian scrolled through them, amazed by how well every piece was, and his eyes caught the drawing Tabet Drake given him a year ago that he had ignored for his paints.
After a moment of thinking, he picked it up, hooked up his computer, and tried to draw the one scene that made the whole fic his newest obsession.
It took three days before he was satisfied with the results. He showed Jon who gushed over it for hours. He convinced him to open a blog to post it and when Damian couldn't bring himself to, Jon tagged the writer in it.
The writer sent him a heartfelt message equally moved by his drawings as Damian was by his writing.
It was the start of his second friendship.
Over time Damian drew more and more. His fanart blog grew in followers as his skills sharpened with practice. He made more pieces of other fanfiction he read, but he always fell back to making unique fan art for GlaxeyAstronaut.
He and GlaxeyAstronaut chatted for years. He didn't know his real name- he could find it easily enough with the Batcomputer but felt it would ruin things if he did- but he knew about him. His online friend was the same age as, Damian, who identified as male, had an older sister and two scientist parents, lived Minnesota and dreamed of being a astronaut.
Damian likewise told him things about himself, mindful never of revealing anything that could pinpoint him a Wayne. And that's how their relationship was for two years.
The writer and his artist.
At one point, Jon had pointed out that Damian messaged GlaxeyAstronaut daily and talked about him just as much. He pointed out how Damian's heart beat raised whenever he saw that silly icon on his notification. He pointed out how flustered he became when he read GlaxeyAstronaut's messages.
But Damian ignored him beacuse surely he was only excited to have two whole friends now.
When they turned fourteen, things changed. GlaxeyAstronaut stopped replying to his message for a week, nearly causing Damian to go find him as Robin until his friend returned to the chat room with a short "I had an accident in my parent's lab. Electric accident. It was bad. It is bad. I may not be able to get on here as much"
His friend became somewhat distant after that, replying three or four days after. Damian figured it was because he was recovering from his accident. Still he tried to be there for him and one day, almost a year after GlaxeyAstronaut's accident he received the message.
"I can't be an Astronaut. My heart will always be too slow to apply"
Damian stared at the words feeling ice cold. Being an Astronaut had always been his friend's dream since he was five, and he could point at the glowing dots to his parents on a camping trip. The fact a medical condition acquired from a lab accident ruined it just left Damain feeling cheated.
He had no idea what GlaxeyAstronaut must feel but he guess far worst.
He had sent a message asking GlaxeyAstronaut if he wanted to call him and talk about it without much thought . They had never done a voice call before, never wanting to breach that uncharted area of online and real life friendship.
But GlaxeyAstronaut agreed, and hesitantly, Damian sent him a link to a chat room with a call option.
The call connected, and the two spoke about the writer's condition how the electricity had run amok in his body, slowing his heart and killing him for a few seconds until his friends were able to bring him back using CPR.
When that became too heavy, they switched to their favorite shows, then brainstormed ideas for collaboration and everything else under the sun.
Damian felt like no time had passed when Father came to warn him to get ready to head out soon, and GlaxeyAstronaut told him he should get started on his homework anyway.
"My name is Danny, by the way," the voice from his speaker said softly. "You don't have to tell me your name. I just....thank you for listening. My best friends and sister hear me but they don't listen to what I saw about.....the accident. It means a lot to me."
"You are most welcome" He pauses for a few seconds before he tacks on "My name is Damian. It is a honor to meet you Danny"
He heard the other boy laugh before the call disconnected any Damian was left staring at his ceiling like he did three years ago.
Back then, Damian's life had changed upon discovering fanfiction and fandoms. Today his life changed upon the startling discovery that Jon had been trying to tell him since he was twelve.
He had a crush on Danny.
How would ge deal with this?

I notice your artstyle changed quite a bit, are you trying new things?
Well – I love drawing faces now. Came a long way from avoiding drawing Wade and Peter's faces like the plague.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think it's mostly down to the passage of time, and that I'm using different equipment! There's three art eras of the blog – the first, where I used a flimsy little Samsung tablet for my posts... I don't even remember what app I used.
Tumblr media
The second, where I used a flimsy little screenless Wacom graphics tablet and Photoshop – I wasn't drawing directly on a screen, so my lines were always wobbly and scritchy and weird.
Tumblr media
And now I use Procreate on iPad! And I get nice, smooth, delicious lines.
Tumblr media
It's kind of funny – I used to be so frustrated in that middle era of the blog, about my art. I used to be so upset that I couldn't get nice, smooth lines. I'd get so jealous over artists with nice clean lineart. Now I get the nice clean lines, but a lot of people prefer the rough lines I had before, and I kind of love them too. It's a funny old world.

holy shit this year marks 10 years of this blog and moz!! i can't remember the exact date i started posting here - my archive says i have one post from november 2013 but let's disregard that - but i do remember it was around late 2014/early 2015 :)
Tumblr media
^ one of the very first moz art pieces i ever drew, for fallout week 2015!!
memories and art through the years under a read more bc it got long
2014 → baby's first rpg!! i started playing fnv on my cousin's jailbroken xbox late 2013 and finished mid 2014 and i loved every minute of it. i remember waking up at 8am and playing almost nonstop until 2am the next day haha!
i didn't play moz on my first playthrough - but i did start creating a character that would eventually become her: a shorthaired ex-boxer who punched her way through obstacles when diplomacy failed. i remember she spent a lot of time with boone. i liked him then, because he saved my ass more times than i can count. but i digress. this is draft 1 moz essentially
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2015 → this is the year that i was doing my thesis so i could graduate but i was so depressed and stressed about it that i distracted myself by replaying fnv on pc, where i played through the dlcs for the first time. i fell in love with the dlcs' oversarching story; particularly ulysses, who i became obssessed with, especially since i couldn't find any content of him at the time. in the game, i played as moz; i had most of her personality and choices down, but her backstory was still up in the air.
fun fact: this was an existing sideblog that i remade to be a fallout blog so i could look for ulysses content, and when i couldn't find any, i made some myself, featuring moz as my main courier six. originally, i didn't ship them, but eventually i ended the year as a courier/ulysses otp shipper.
this was the year i started drawing digitally - my uncle let me borrow a drawing tablet and i used an old copy of photoshop i pirated hehe
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2016 → i graduated this year!! and promptly fell deeper into my depression. this was the year that it got so bad that i had to be medicated. through it all, this blog and moz and ulysses and my fandom friends were with me. and for that i am truly grateful :) this was the year i figured out how to lock transparent pixels so that i could color my lineart lol
Tumblr media
2017 → i started hammering out moz's backstory this year i think. there's a lot of sketches of her and her family in my files. i experimented with shading and backgrounds here but that experimentation was pretty short-lived
Tumblr media
2018 → i started using references seriously!!!! i did a lot of oc on oc kissing this year, featuring mostly moz and many friend ocs haha
Tumblr media
2019 → didn't draw much this year. actually this year was a blur and i can't remember much from it except from it being the year of my terrible no good bad copywriting jobs... anyway i did manage to continue my courier/ulysses brainrot and make this piece, which i'm still proud of
Tumblr media
2020 → pandemic time. i spent a lot of time asleep at home and i think this was also the year i started doing commissions?? shoutout to anyone who has ever commissioned me - thank you so much, i truly appreciate it!!
Tumblr media
2021 → i switched from my old-ass pirated photoshop to clip studio paint and never looked back. also i did a bunch of commissions for my grandmother's surgery, which failed, and i distracted myself from the sadness by drawing my ocs over and over and playing disco elysium
Tumblr media
2022 → by this year, i've got moz down pat and have started vaguely developing other ocs instead. but she's still always at the back of my mind
Tumblr media
2023 → i bought new brushes from true grit texture supply and immediately found new favorites that i started using for everything. i tentatively started incorporating background elements in some pieces!
Tumblr media
2024 → while it's still too early to say where this year will lead me art-wise, i will say that i started experimenting in realistic paint studio (which i bought in 2021, the same time as clip studio paint) a few days ago and i'm liking the results so far. we'll see!
Tumblr media
all in all, these last 10 years have been quite a ride, but i'm glad i stuck around and i'm glad you guys stuck around too!! much much love 💖💖💖

I haaaasss 27 asks :}
Tumblr media
Yes. Yes it does.
Tumblr media
Thank you! :DD And yeah canon Gregory is just not my vibe man XD
Tumblr media
(Traffic cone in question)
Thank you so much! :DD And yeah I try my best to get up and do something productive/different when I'm feeling down like that. My thought process is "well sitting here and sulking isn't making me feel any better so I should go and do something else" Which just so happened to be breaking out the old sewing kit and making a traffic cone?? XD Well to be fair I've made like 10 of those before but still an odd choice on my part-
Tumblr media
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked my cars artwork! :DD
And yeah I would draw cars stuff more often but they're just so hard to draw :(
Tumblr media
Idk why they decided to jump into a DLC before fixing the base game, but man I really wish they wouldn't have. 😔
Tumblr media
I'll do my best! :D
Tumblr media
@tallchest13-blog
Yes :} or at least I've been trying to-
Tumblr media
Thank you so much! And I did use a pattern to make him. Credit for the patten goes to Tammy Hallam, heres her video on how to make your own too! :}
Tumblr media
@montygatorshusband
AAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDD
As for Glamrock Bonnie,, ehh, its a bit odd to me. Not a huge fan of the color pallet but its not the worst I've seen. I'd give it a 5.5 outa 10
ALSO! I believe Octonauts is streaming on Netflix, but I've also had some luck finding full episodes on YouTube :0
Tumblr media
Thank you! And oh yeah, I feel you on the fandom part. XD That's why I'm still kind'a on the fence and haven't dove head first into my usual angsty stuff. I'm kind'a testing the waters with every post I make to see if I'll collide with the uh, other side of the fandom :x
Tumblr media
Thank you! :DDD
Also Google is a search engine. :0 If you search for Octonauts fanart, its gonna do its job and search for fanart and likely find some of the stuff I made. Notice though that all of my artwork shown on Google links directly back to my blog. Its because Google isn't stealing it, its parting the branches of a bush and pointing "Look! Over there is some Octonauts fanart like you requested!" XD
Tumblr media
@pinkbomb08
There isn't really anything Gregory can do for Bonnie..
Its hard to explain,, but I'll try. Bonnie is missing his leg from the middle of his shin down. So he cant stand up right like Foxy because- well duh, he's missing a whole foot.
Tumblr media
So order to fix Bonnies leg so he can stand/walk like Foxy does, he would need an entire replacement foot with a working joint. This would also mean that the wires in Bonnies legs would have to be replaced and hooked up so that he can control said new foot.
Currently there are no spare parts around that fit Bonnies model.. and even if they did, Gregory wouldn't know how to properly re-wire an animatronic foot. He's smart but not THAT smart <XDD
The only thing Gregory could do is make Bonnie a weird peg leg that makes his current leg longer. Currently Bonnies half leg is shorter than his good leg. But in all honesty Bonnie doesn't really want that.
Having Gregory ducttape this weird goofy peg leg to him would be more embarrassing then what he already has. He'd probably want to salvage what ever dignity he has left and say "ah give it a rest. There's no point. My legs good enough for what its for." <:/
Tumblr media
@taizarack
If I remember correctly... Sometime ago my tablet pen broke. And it took like 2-3 weeks for a new one to arrive. In the mean time I tried to make an art doll of sorts. That doll was Bibi!
I ended up making a lot of goofy posts with Bibi and I as I waited for my pen to arrive. Once it finally did and I went back to drawing comics, I ended making Bibi a reoccurring character. And he's been around ever since!
Now Jangles is a Halloween prop that I bought because I thought it was funny. I was practicing making quilts one time and I made a small blue one that just so happened to be the right size for him. So I put it on and then I thiiink I got the idea to add Jangles to my blog as a joke.? I gave Bibi a "new friend" to celebrate hitting 10,000 followers. The new friend was a cropped png of jangles XD
Eventually down the line I wanted to give Bibi an proper friend. So for Bibi's birthday I drew a comic where Jangles came to life and here we are XD
Tumblr media
@pinkbomb08
Currently I am getting none of those things :x I have a cold so sleep and food is hard :( Thank you though! :D
Tumblr media
@notsoliyah
:D AW!! Thank you! I'm so glad to hear how I've inspired you! :}}
Tumblr media
@ur0neand0nly
XD Thank you so much! And don't worry, I'm pretty confident I'll draw him again someday
Tumblr media
XD Thank you. To be honest I'm kind'a going back and fourth on this fandom. I don't really wanna be apart of the fandom, but the characters are the only thing I'm interested in drawing atm soo-
Tumblr media
@ardent-38
Ooo these are interesting! Although absorbing power ups isn't about digesting them. Its something about being human specifically that allows them to absorb the powerups.. 👀👀👀
Tumblr media
@maddiethehatter2192
My advice would be to use references religiously. That's what I did!
Also thank you! :DD
Tumblr media
Barnaby for sure.
Well, my interpretation of him really-
Tumblr media
@taizarack (Post in question)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@funky-frankie
No there's no SpongeBob comic, I just felt like drawing Mr. Krabs XD
Also THANK YOU!! :DD That means so much!! :}}}
Tumblr media
@elegysonnet
<XD thank you. So far I have some pretty basic ones I imagine. Wally's house is alive and evil, Julie is actually a scary monster but has drastically altered her appearance to look less scary.. Sally is very celestial in nature because she's a real star, Eddie used to be a real human and bleeds and has a heart beat and what not.. uuuuuuh what elseeee,,, I liked to imagine that Sally and Julie came to the neighborhood when they were really young and Poppy kind'a adopted them?? Although I don't know how wide spread that idea is XD
Tumblr media
Thank you! And yeah I'm not very fond of that portrayal either <XD As for your questions..
1: I'm sure there would be somethings that would push his anxiety to the surface. I'm not sure what they'd be but still- I imagine if Luigi was around to see it he would try to get Mario out of what ever situation he's in. If he's in a crowd he'd try to help him slip away unnoticed.
2: I'm not familiar with the giga bell, but if I did add it I'd imagine those would be the side effects yeah <XD Really sore and tired and cant really move for like 3 days :x
Tumblr media
Remodeled or not, I wont be adding any of those animatronics to the Pizzaplex. I already wrote the entire past of this timeline, and those bots all already have a story in my AU. And with their given stories it wouldn't make sense for them to be added to the Pizzaplex.
Of course I cant spoil what those stories are, just know that I have my reasons-
Tumblr media
Oh yeah I forgot to add the colored eye lids to Wally and Barnaby in that trampoline drawing <XD
And yeah! I wanted Wally to be much more expressive so I gave him eyebrows-
Tumblr media
@cudlycorncornsworthcoberson
Aw, thank you so much!! Its so cool to hear that you've shared my name with your friends!! :DD

*slaps an "I'm not dead, have a helmet smooch" scribble on the art blog*
This is also me fully testing sketching on my Galaxy tab with this new drawing glove that's supposed to prevent the tablet from reacting to my palm and so far, so good! All the drawing and coloring was done on the little tablet, then did all the gradients and textures on the laptop. Not so good? Not drawing for several weeks due to writing and working. Right now, I have very little tolerance for drawing but I sure did average 10k a week for the staircase fic. Still have lots to write. This Dinluke Positivity Week candidate might hit 60k by the time I finish the first draft, and whose fault is that? Who's the fool here?
It's me. I'm the fool.

Day 6 - Purple : Clavis
Aside I'm being slowly get used to my new pen tablet. I was so suprize seeing the result and compare him with other boys i previously draw. It maybe because of I make his pupil much smaller like the reference. anyway, I try my best to mimic the coloring on outfit like the original one and I'm so glad it didn't disappointed me. Just three color left, but i will draw the red first because I know what character i want to draw it.
Lastly, in this post I think i will just gave up my logo raffle. No one seems didn't interested of it and that okay. But i will delete the post later, because I'm currently to lazy to navigate my blog for now.

just been thinkin about how i made a tumblr in 2013, when i was nine, specifically to follow your old marceline ask blog. my friend n i freaked out at school one day when you actually responded to one of our asks !! i was a hugely into betty lore lol
n now it’s 2023 & i’m about to not be a teenager anymore & fionna + cake is out and i’m feeling crazy about it !!! the simon+marcy time of my life was so special and these guys have been in my heart forever and your art was always such a huge part of that for me. thank u for that
also thanks for introducing me to that song by patd/fun. reminder that that exists if u haven’t listened to it in a while. full 2013 reversion
aww hey!!! first off thanks so so much for the sweet message and all the memories it brought, omg
i'm turning 25 this month (ouch) and god you've just reminded me of all of that too- i just entered high school, i was drawing ask responses on my little itouch after school, and when i got my very first wacom tablet i went crazy inspired by lyricstuck posts to fall out boy so badly i made my own, haha. i remember vividly scrolling through reposts and seeing redditors go "the artist is 14???" akshsks it was all so crazy and we were all so young
so thanks for sorta sharing my childhood with me even if just a little bit !! (and since i'm answering this publicly, thanks to everyone!) there were ups and downs to being a kid with followers on the internet but if anything thank You for havin fun with me! the blog's actually still up and not deleted if you wanna revisit sksjsk
it's crazy that we're all still here enjoying adventure time releases a whole decade later- i might not be as active or energy crazed as a high schooler anymore, but i hope you're as hyped for the new stuff and new fun as i am !!!

I just found this blog and I noticed that a lot of your stuff seems, well, oddly 3D. I don't mean like in a bad way but it feels like rendered but untextured 3D models? I kinda want to ask what your art process is (sorry for mini-rant)
thanks for checking out my blog! and no need to apologize for anything.
hmm, my art process. honestly i have no idea what to say, i dont know how people normally answer this question so i cant base it off anything either. i'm still kinda new to this whole art thing but i'll try and answer, super sorry if i get this completely wrong and this was all a waste of time.
i guess i'll just talk about how i draw things step by step? for the high effort pieces at least.
ok, so for starters like step 0. when it's a high effort piece, i can already see the image in my mind. i see the pose, i see the general lighting, the layout of stuff, but it's a bit blurry. if i cant see this mental image, the drawing usually comes out extremely poorly.
Tumblr media
this is kind of an example of what i see in my head? this might be all useless info idk, but this is i guess where i start.
well step 1 is just the sketch and line. i start with just sketching the general shapes, then slowly refining it until it fits close enough to the image in my head. then in the line layer i'll fix any mistakes the sketch had and add more details to it. oh and for brush, it's just a round brush, like default. i dont know how much of a difference using a drawing tablet does, but i dont use one so... yeah.

i should've put more effort into the sketch for this drawing, but i did not.
next i do flat colors. pretty simple, i just select the smart select the outside of the line layer, invert the selection and now i can't paint outside the lines. i dont really think about what colors i use, i just use whatever the characters normal colors are.
Tumblr media
next i do the shading, but first. i duplicate flat layer and recolor it to like a cream color
Tumblr media
like so. for high effort pieces, i was told online to shade in pretty much black and white. now actually onto shading. there's 2 kinda shading i do, 1 from the proper light source, and 1 that's kinda just a shadow because things are close together (like corners and stuff). and i'll shade them on separate layers so i can adjust them individually however i want. oh right, i'll either use a very dark color, pretty much black and the the layer blending mode set to multiply. or i'll use a light kind of gray, tinted slightly yellow or something and set the layer blend mode to difference. then i just use a soft air brush and shade in the ways i described above. shading from regular light source, and the corner stuff thing.

normal lightsource - - - - - corner thing
then toggle both layers on and mess with the opacity of each layer until you get what you want.
Tumblr media
then you can toggle the normal flats layer, the one that has color and it should apply the shading decently. you can mess with the opacity again on the shadows.
Tumblr media
next i do lighting. i just grab a very light color, usually pretty close to white and set the layer blend mode to overlay. then i use a soft airbrush and "light" it? idk i just do like the opposite of the normal shadows, lighter the closer it is to the light source
Tumblr media
mess around with the opacity as usual. then i do pretty much the same thing if there's another light source. in this case there was a blue light kinda coming from underneath, so i did that.
Tumblr media
now from here i would go back to the flats layer, make a copy, and mess around with different layer styles and properties and settings. sometimes just messing around is useful. in this case, i felt it was too bright and colorful, so i decreased the brightness and saturation of it.
Tumblr media
i think it helped a little bit but who knows.
now i do some kinda highlights and details. i grabbed the colors that were in the background and used those. it was a weird pale blue. i had 2 layers for this, 1 of them was specifically for his antenna things at the top, and one was just for his "skin". anyway, the antenna layer was normal, just kinda gave it an outline with the random reflective circles you see normally in pictures, no thoughts behind them. the skin tho had the layer blend mode set to soft light, i thought it looked best this way. it was just more random things to imply it was slightly reflective.
Tumblr media
together the layers looked like this. i think it makes him look glossier which is what i was aiming for.
next, and it pretty much the end for pebbles, i got someone to look at it and let me know if they think anything was missing. they said it looked a little unsaturated. which it does. so i made a new layer, set the blend mode to saturation, grabbed the airbrush and made it pretty inline with the lighting layer.
Tumblr media
that's kinda it. the background i didnt really care about, just drew and colored it. blurred it a bunch and added a bunch of shadows. i did add some like, "overshadows" is what i call it, i just draw some big shadows down the screen as the top layer.
Tumblr media
but yeah thats literally everything i did to draw this. i would like to apologize if this was not at all what you wanted to know, i'm certain i've screwed this up bigtime. super sorry for wasting your time. if there's anything i can do to help, please ask. i owe you a proper answer to your question, i'm just really dumb. sorry for rambling. sorry. and sorry if the drawing i used for example didnt showcase what you wanted to know.
also, i really like your art! please keep up the great work!

Hey! This post is very important about the blog and what is currently happening! Please read if you will! (Ps: this is a very long post)
Hello everyone! Not to long ago I made a post explaining some certain stuff that will be changing and other junk like that. I have come here to inform you all some bad news involving this blog. This blog will be going on a long hiatus, and I mean long. The main reason being that my connector for the cable I use for my drawing tablet has broken, which means that I can no longer draw on my laptop or drawing tablet anymore. During that time it certainly has made me realize lots of things that I do with this blog, and that includes some of the empty promises I make. I've come to the realization that I don't have the right skill for an askblog, atleast not yet anyway, and also considering I'm still in school, it has definitely taken a toll on my work. When I first started this blog, I thought it was gonna be a piece of cake! But I was dead wrong when I decided to put some story into it, I kept on procrastinating on the story and never actually added onto it which made me frustrated. And even when I wasn't working on it, the other asks that were in the askbox felt like a challenge! And that eventually evolved to me not posting for a long while. Even in the present that still is very obviously a challenge. I will like to apologize for not posting and making some empty promises, I very obviously don't have enough skill in the moment to run an askblog, so that's why this blog will be going on hiatus, and be restarting entirely. You heard that right, the art/answered asks will be deleted. The reason behind this is due to me wanting to start over, begin something new! And y’know, actually gain more skill before deciding to add a story (if that will ever happen). I know this is all very sudden, but I made the decision that I hope will be best for me! I honestly just want to get out of school before actually doing anything, cause BOY OH BOY IS SCHOOL ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! And the moment I finally have enough time and skill, I will consider finally coming back to this blog and all of you, I have a feeling none of you will remember me or even this blog, hell, I think some of you will begin to unfollow! But that's a-okay with me, its quite understandable really, people don't exactly follow blogs that don't post anything! I'm gonna come back, thats a fact, but it will be a long time until I finally post once more, I will be back eventually. I forgot to mention, all of the asks in the askbox will be deleted, I'm extremely sorry for this! Like I said, everything is restarting and I hope you understand!
Before I finally decide to head off, I just want to thank each and every one of you, I never had any idea that alot of people would even enjoy this blog! To all the people who followed, liked, and all that other junk, I thank you×1000, I probably would've given up way earlier if it wasn't for you guys!! YALL ARE AWESOME AND DESERVE ALL THE GOOD ENERGY!!!
Alright, now incase I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight. 👋
(If you got that reference you are very swag)

Well, it's official.
After the relative failure of @broken-hourglass (Primarily down to issues with coordination), I've decided to start another ask blog. I'll make another post and link it once I have it more prepared, but I'm trying to practice my art, and I thought I'd tell a story I worked on back in 2014-2015-ish. So be on the look out for silly witch mare, and her two best friends! (I assure you the actual blog name is much sillier). (WIP and thanks past the break!)
Tumblr media
I am excited to be drawing again, especially with this new tablet, and the friends I've made along the way who have supported me so far. (A few I'd like to mention, @doeblossom and @painttasticpony for regularly harassing motivating me to draw, and for helping me figure out FireAlpaca, as well as helping me with anatomy, and figuring out that I've made some sincere mistakes with learning to draw in the first place!)
Plinkodraws shall begin regular posting soon!!!
