Arrival! [original characters Max and Jude]

#wiggleart #original art #original characters #*cough* #listen. I did create them to trick my brain out of drawing just fanart and into original art and didn’t #mean to get attached but now I’m attached and they are getting more developed every day haha #I reworked Jude a bit so I can just have him have messy wild hair and I wanted him to have a bit of a tooth gap #am I projecting my issues onto him? yes lol I don’t have a tooth gap but I have doll teeth but they aren’t cute lmao #ANYWAY #their story is still being worked out #max is the one in the tie *cough* #and Jude is the one in the hoodie #max I mostly have figured out I’m still kinda working on Jude #but I think I have his character design locked in now at least #I know this is original characters so those don’t always get a lot of attention #but I need original characters for my portfolio lol #you can pretend it’s dean and cas haha that’s kind of their point even in their own story

if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified

#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing #i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though #at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself #as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed #escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date #although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL #ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting #workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety #i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back #AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO #im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts #i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem #in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material #and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school #maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess #only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard #hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms #i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work #not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall #anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh #yapping

do you paint traditionally? i think your art style would look beautiful in oils. theres some pieces of yours i look at and think: one day i will see this artist in a museum! not that that wouldnt happen with your digital art too.

First of all this is incredibly sweet and made my put my hands on my face. Thank you!

And I do paint traditionally! I haven't for a few months now that I've moved away and I no longer have the time nor the space to (I'm not studying art :P) but I've posted some of my traditional work :]

Here are more that I've never posted, though

#I've barely played with oil paint mostly because it scares me 😭 It's messy and flammable and I need ventilation #asks #mine #The last piece (board game) is 100% in oils and it's also one of my least favorite things I made for my AP portfolio (what all of these #pieces were for) but it was my first time using oils at all so *shrug* #Also: These are all self portraits

5, 9 and 16 for that artist ask meme!

5. favorite little detail in a drawing you did

this one was kind of hard to answer because i lean so much more to simplification over 1:1 detail... that said, i really loved these ones!

the bag from the top photo is from here, minato nui on left is from some con-related draws, the ballpoint splatling on right is from a vintage draws compilation!

i just really enjoy drawing little objects and props, and as much as i'm allergic to backgrounds, i hope to overcome that next year because my friends know i love getting obsessed over random objects for a few days...

9. any new art mediums youve tried (or overall styles if you havent tried new mediums)

i haven't gotten to do much mediums outside of digital art unfortunately.... but i would say this year was the year of chibification! i turned so many characters into little guys this year (shoutout to the nui tree!). which is really ironic because i also realized this year i find full illustrations more satisfying to work on throughout the process, despite the "simplicity" of chibis.

i did some limited color styles too! (blue, purple, and red + b/w). hopefully i can do more deliberate color palette stuffs though. i think it'd be a great exercise.

stylistically wise i think i could've tried more, but. its ok! thats what 2024 is for. yipee!

16. favorite piece of art from someone else (if you have one)

it feels like a cop out answer to say this but any gift art i got of my splatoon character... LOL... i didn't expect to get so attached to him (i changed my name in game to minatoast a JOKE!!!!). um. drops this gallery link here and scuttles away. im so very grateful. you're telling me people actually took time out of their day to draw my little guy? incredible!

ocs aside, i'd like to take the time to highlight some art from people on twitter (kitaro havers rise up!), since i do consider the things i reblog to be art i'm very fond of...

this art from tin of ryomina with flowers is so. oh my god. i was SO BEWILDERED AND HAPPY!!! i was minding my own business and then saw this rt'd on one of my friend's pages... i forget who lol but i was like "WAIT TIN Kick_TheeCan DREW RYOMINA??? I LOVE THEIR ART OF THE P3 PROTAG WHAT." i feel like i got pushed down a staircase in tartarus (positive)

and this art from chris (str3wberryy), my god, the composition fucks severely. i want to eat it. he also has an alt account on twitter (@/makotoyukilover) if you want to see more of their p3 protag arts :D

i also enjoyed seeing p3 arts from yamad_125, BSZZOWL, and elulit2. im so serious if you like ryominaigis you'll probably like taking a gander at these artist's media tabs! i find my way to see the twitter arts one way or another, nothing can stop me 👁👄👁

#lizzy askbox #RAAH IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED QUESTION 16!!! #i am filled with love for artists. and similarly to the question of what styles you take inspiration from #it was really hard to not write a text wall or link multiple.. #but i've been itching to outlet somewhere how much i adore some of the art i see on twitter... #like ik i can just log into my acc again but the idea of being perceived on twt makes me antsy so i just dont #i literally vibrate in place and shake back and forth and quake whenever i see art. sometimes it occupies my brain for HOURS like. wow... #i want to draw like you... or.... wow.. it's so clear to me that you really love what you draw / that you're putting in time to practice... #and i know i linked p3 mostly but sometimes i see peoples portfolios for visdev and i go GODDAMN IM IN LOVE WITH YOU WHAT DID U STUDY #anyway... thank you again! this is so fun. my appreciation for 2023 is going up from this hehe

It’s been a hot sec since I posted, thought I would show you guys a little bit of what I been up to. Just a fun line of faux-romance book covers- based off of really cheesy fic tropes because I am no writer haha. 

But hey if ya’ll got any prompt ideas feel free to tell me in the tags I love to read em :) 

#book cover #not real #my work computer is crashing hardcore so im drawing instead #idk maybe this'll be a series? #its mostly just for my portfolio since I want to get more into book covers #illlustration #coffee shop

*insane about media voice* i am normal about media

#this is mostly about dndads yes #shoutout to my friends who i just dumped a two hour long rant about the close-foster-freeman-swifts on #i just.......... nicky #this also applies to rhythm doctor and w.bg #goodness. minerscales and cocole. and ada's existence. do you need anything else in this world #the answer is yes you need a bucketful of ty betteridges and felix the specialest guy #i think about the infamous british biscuits and gravy every day #and also anne and marissa. icons #and this also applies to lil guardsman #really fun game i recommend it #i think i'm its target audience because i easily get really attached to one-appearance side characters #i love you beverly. you are blorbo to me and highly relatable #this weekend i was supposed to work on a portfolio but played the entirety of lil guardian instead. oops #other media i am normal about: okay circling back to dndads because i am not okay #how is it possible that i love every single character so much. how. this is sorcery. #i have written so much about all the main families and many side characters. #and literally wrote fanfic for it. like that was monumental i never write fanfic because it's too hard #but the brainrot....... it's real #and it's about scamster #real and true #also brainrot about my own characters #i declare that counts #kade and loren and john..... all so blorbo #i love those doomed lovers and also some meat guy #give me those sweet sweet unethical experiments #give me those endless loops of love and loss #give me a tragedy written by love itself and perpetuated by it #give me love that blinds #oh wait. yeah i am giving me that #THERE'S A TAGGING LIMIT ? damn why not tell me when i went over. you got away this time but next time i shall not be silenced *shakes fist*

theOrEticalLy . if I opened commissions at some point. would there be. a smackerel of interest . ??

#i have never opened them bc it’s intimidating and I don’t know how to price things!! #but mostly bc i work full time w a good salary so I don’t really need side things to make money #like it feels selfish to suggest that people should pay me to make fanart?? When #a) I already do that for free bc i enjoy it lol #and b) there are so many creators out there who are struggling to make ends meet #and I am privileged enough to generally not have to worry about that #this would be just like extra spending money to fund my scented candle habit DHDJDN #and the clothes I just bought while trying to Discover My Vibe and Finally Be Myself (at age 28 lol) #also tbh it would likely be reinvested in other commissions bc I buy commissions fairly often lol #anyway. idk the idea of commissions always sounded cool but also guilt inducing and scary #it feels weird and silly bc it would make me have to take my art seriously if that makes sense?? #like me saying ‘I think I’m good enough at art that people would buy it from me.’ that feels so bold and like. arrogant or something dhjsjd #coming from me I mean. just a silly little guy who still struggles to draw human limbs properly #ok I’m thinking about how I’d have to make a commission sheet and put a dollar sign on my art and I’m aaaaaaa #and I’d have to execute exactly what people want and what if I can’t!!! #omg ok maybe noT help lol #well im not committing to anything rn im simply. asking a question while the dash is asleep and then running off to bed seeya #i think part of me always wanted to try commissions to see if I could be a Real Artist about it ?? #and potentially end up with like. Portfolio pieces ?? #why I would need an art portfolio I don’t know. I am an editor. What do I think I will be doing here #ppl left comments on my animatic that have been giving me crazy what if thoughts. sit down #don’t look at me #ohhh swirly brain thoughts I need to sleep

Jude and Max 🌈

—

I mentioned a few months ago how I was going to make original characters inspired by Dean and Cas simply because I wanted original characters to draw for my art portfolio and it can’t be fanart.

However, despite it being a haha thing with not much thought behind it, I have developed them into full fledged characters now!

Their full names are Maxwell Clarence Charleston (Born 1830) and Jude Smith (born 1980). I’ll be making more art with them and explaining their background and story and I can’t wait to continue developing them!

Jude is an avid movie buff and loves books. He’s a big fan of old classic horror movies and collects old Hollywood memorabilia and his favorite TV show is Gunsmoke. He loves Skittles and wants to be a movie director.

Max loves being outside and during his nature walks would often collect flowers and leaves to press into his book. He’s a big science guy and loves learning new things about the world and dreams of traveling. He also really likes coffee lol.

That’s obviously not all to them, but I figure this can be their official introduction! I wanted them side by side their inspiration which is Dean and Cas of course!

I imagine I’ll be drawing these four together more lol just for fun

(Why does the Vertigo cover look like Nic Cage lmao)

#spnfanart #wiggleart #destiel #dean winchester #castiel #original characters #did I want Jude to have the Jackles hair flippies? yes #he also is gonna have a nuisance piece of hair always sticking up but it was looking weird with the composition lol #it really was meant to just be a placeholder since I can’t make fanart for an art portfolio but #then I kinda loved them and wanted to explore them more lol #there’s not a real all encompassing story for them just how they meet and where and the world they operate in #but otherwise it’s just open ended sandbox which is fun #I’ll probably still mostly just do spn fanart on my tumblr but every now and then I’ll put them on here! #they’re gonna live mostly on my Instagram #and website once I get that in working order #but I need to finish this portfolio first lol

[knavestrolls]

Homework is stupid and bodies are stupid

#Davie's rambles #frustration with my body increases #that's the worst part is it's mostly just putting it all together but because of how I work on my laptop and how I lay things out #I can't do that laying down #and I can't seem to get a good adjustment to do so #I can work on my portfolio like this but not on the one I need to work on #ughhhhhhhh

[meavitamin-notes]
