#trying out some ✨new coloring styles ✨

[celestialtarot11]

Solar return observations pt 2 🦋🌟✨

Hi friends! Welcome back to another post as this was requested by a few of you 💗 feel free to like comment and reblog! ✨🌟

Chiron in the 8th house 🌹🌙- The native may feel their spiritual beliefs are expanding, or what they originally believed in is not necessarily the whole truth. Natives with this placement often experience “another side” to what they thought was true, usually in a religious or occult sense. For example, someone with this placement believes in Christianity, but a circumstance happened outside of them which had their curiosity move towards another religion, or they simply focused on spirituality. Were there more to life than they previously understood? Often times the native will ask themselves this.

Mars in Gemini 🦋🌙- The native may feel the need to join a social media circle that year and assert themselves in a new community! The native may find themselves searching for truth of some kind, whether it’s related to an occult sense, or a practical matter. The native that year will pursue higher knowledge through others.

Neptune in the 7th ✨🤍- Relationships with others are deepening. Boundaries are dissolving, which is why it’s important to recognize your own before others tell you them. It’s easy to view people through rose colored lenses, and to feel in touch with your heart this year. You may meet spiritual people, or a spiritual partner that’ll help you expand your dreams ✨ codependency is a common theme that year, so its important to look out for those cycles. You may end up attending events and drinking at some point

Moon in the 6th house 🌷🥂- Honestly this gives me the vibes of someone being a farmer off in the far lands 🤣 but anyway, the native will most likely retreat that year into their comfort zone. Socializing can drain the natives battery, and will find that work could be demanding that year. Fluctuations in work schedules are common, and most likely the native can find tension because their moods are sensitive to their environment. The native is prone to being sick much more due to picking up energy from their environment that year, so cleanse!

5th house stellium 💘☀️- Opportunity to meet new people and go out in style! Connecting with others helps you connect to yourself. Potential to meet a partner and best friend that year. Especially with Venus in there and Mercury. Mercury denotes you may meet them online, and Venus suggests a romantic opportunity. Depending on which sign this stellium falls in, your creativity will be channeled differently. If it’s in Capricorn you’ll find yourself being creative in a disciplined, practical way. You may be reserved when it comes to fun that year, and may have issues of letting yourself enjoy.

Sun in the 4th 🤗🌷- Someone with this placement had their father moving in and out of their apartment for an entire year. So the father could play an important role in your life much more this year. He could try to be involved with the native emotionally, but since its in the 4th house he brings more turbulence and instability, than something consistent. Also family will be more important this year, you’ll be surrounded by your family members a lot more!

Jupiter 7th house 🤍🌟- The potential to be with someone for the long term! Someone who gives a lot, someone humorous, and with a lot of knowledge. Someone pursuing higher education, if not, this person travels a lot for work. Depending in which zodiac sign Jupiter falls in, it’ll tell you about that person you’ll be with for a while. For example, if its in Pisces, you’ll meet someone with abundant spiritual knowledge and experience. Someone who likes to mix drinks, and get high. Someone who is a dreamer and has deep occult ties to the underworld 🤣💘 but is a softie!

Uranus aspecting Jupiter in the 7th house 🌟- Someone I knew with this placement got into their first relationship at 20. It was a shock to them being that they didn’t think they would ever meet someone that fast, or it would develop into something like that. It was a long distant connection given Uranus is aspecting the 7th house. When Aquarius was looked at, Moon & Saturn fell in Aquarius in his SR chart and he formed a very close bond to them! It was a relationship that progressed over time, a year. So how it started was random, but how it continued was different!

Scorpio Rising 🥂🙈- The native will go through many transformations that year. Focus on the self and releasing the past is important that year. The native can also find wealth this year, financially speaking and may indulge in a side hustle! Someone I knew with this placement had a cycle from a few years ago return, in order to be healed properly and the way it deserves. For him, it was a sense of self worth, he struggled with that and had circumstances happen in which he had to develop his confidence. In which he had to make decisions for himself. A physical glow up is also something that happened too.

Venus in Scorpio 🌷🦋- Transformation in love, relationship and connections. Old wounds come up to be released, especially fear of intimacy that year. Its likely the native may meet someone who will hold up a mirror to their wounding and triggers are common, its to help them become aware of what needs to change within themselves. The native could struggle with wanting to be seen, but hiding themselves as a form of protection. Release and work through protective mechanisms that worked in the past, and aren’t suitable for the present moment.

Thank ya’ll so much for reading 🤍 Hope this resonated & please feel free to share your feedback! Its always appreciated 🌟✨ have a great day/night everyone 💅🏻

Who in the Gotei 13 abuses emojis and how

The Groupchat Crimes of the Gotei-13:

Yamamoto: responds everything with an inscrutable "😎 👍". Announcing your engagement? 😎 👍 Telling him there is a scheduling conflict? 😎 👍 The seireitei is being invaded? 😎 👍 Tonkatasu Tuesday at 6:30 tonight? 😎 👍

Sasakibe: Endlessly persnickety about grammar. Despite having the fact that grammar is fluid and changes with context and what many of the new conventions mean explained to him, a total lack of punctuation to create an informal tone will make him literally foam at the mouth like a rabid boar.

Soi Fon: refuses to relegate fun facts about hornets to the #bugs channel, including unspoilered images of what assorted stings will do to human flesh.

Yoruichi: nudes in the SFW channels

Rose: 🌹❤️🌹 brackets his messages with emoji chains like quotation marks 🌹❤️🌹

Kira: vent posting/generally being a miserable little shit in the general channel

Retsu: consistently forgets to spoiler medical gore, keeps sharing medical "Fun" facts that give people nightmares.

Isane: "Hey guys, I need some advice on how to deal with *insane situation literally nobody that ever experienced before*"

Hanataro: unironically posting scorpions and venomous snakes to the cute animals channel

Shinji: ti xif ton lliw/tonnac dna segassem sih lla desrever wohemoS

Momo: crying for real about how cute the animals in the cute animals chat are

Hiyori: destroying things in rage about how cute the animals in the cute animals chat are.

Byakuya: Signs all his messages, as this is is official Gotei-13 correspondence. -from the desk of Captain Kuchiki Byakuya

Renji: no caps no punctuation no worries

Komamura: spent three *months* pretending to be friends with a pair of rural veterinarians and getting people emotionally involved in the saga of them trying to cure a mystery chicken affliction before finally ending his shaggy dog story with an ATROCIOUS pun.

Iba: unappealing thirst traps.

Shunsui: keeps falling for and linking obviously false clickbait articles.

Nanao: digging up literally decades-old drama

Tousen: setting his text color to match the background color to fuck with people.

Shuuhei: normal messages sent from bizarre locations "-sent from the secret downstairs microwave" "-sent from the captain general's iPhone" "-sent from Massachusetts"

Matsumoto: 💕 Putting ❤️ emoji 💋 between ❤️ every 😘 word ❤️ for 💋 the ❤️ aesthetic 💕

Hitsugaya: 2AM post @ing everyone of a single inscrutable emoji such as "🦆". Claims to have no memory of making this

Kenpachi: ALL CAPS LOCK ALL THE TIME NO PUNCTUATION ALSO FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE THE YELLING BUTTON LOUDER

Ikkaku: figured out how to use image-editing software specifically to make bespoke image macros at astonishing speed so he always has a meme on hand, including the infamous Zaraki Caused Another Bisexual Awakening Counter aka "GOT ANOTHER ONE LADS!!" meme.

Yumichika: ✨ 🦚 ✨ Worst 💙 possible 🪩 combination 💙 of 🪩 Rose 💙 and 🪩 Matsumoto 💙 quirks ✨🦚✨

Yachiru: Pink Text

Mayuri: immediately silenced all notifications from the Groupchat, forgot it exists

Nemu: Tracks Groupchat statistics and presentation them quarterly like a thesis defense and/or stockholders meeting.

Urahara: keeps finding obviously false clickbait articles to send to Shunsui

Ukitake: you can directly track how much Percocet he's on by how colorful, emoji 🤣 filled and ✨ WhImSiClE 🐟 🐟 hIs 💻 TeXtInG 💻 sTyLe 🐟 🐟 GeTS ✨

Rukia: signs her texts like Byakuya, but "-sent from Lieutenant Rukia 🐰 Kuchiki "

Harmless, until somehow her medical records appear under "Rukia Usagi Kuchiki" like she has a middle name.

[kosmokhaos]

Hi love! Your sims are GAWJUSSS. Literally breath taking. I’ve recently got back into playing ts3 and am loving it. I was wondering if you can recall the skin and/or makeup&accessories you used in Nyanaath’s makeover update here: https://www.tumblr.com/kosmokhaos/733942789751078912/i-feel-successful-now-cause-damn-ignore-the

I’ve been struggling so bad to find skins of high quality and detail that are darker hues, or eye/nose masks that don’t lose detail the deeper the shade gets. I saw that you gave a resource list of skins a few years back when Nyanaath looked a lil different, so i wasn’t sure if there was anything relatively new that you used or not. I see the pores and details in Nyanaath’s skin and am just dying to know how to get like you lmaoo

First of all, Hiii and thank you! 😁💕Happy new year! Prepare for a bit of rambling but I link to some stuff in the end.

I want to start off saying that most of my sim pics are edited to some degree, especially previous pics from the past. I'm trying to rely less on editing to make my sims looks nice, but of course there is only so much you can do in a sims game.

This is an example of what Nyanaath's skin looks like unedited. EA lighting sucks ass and looks patchy in Sims 3 on dark colored objects in general and unfortunately, sims are not excluded. I end up smoothing the discoloration and patchiness with editing 😭

Before vs After

Skins as dark as Nena's have to be made dark from the start because using a pale/light based skin and trying to use an in-game slider to darken it never turns out good in any game. Dark skin reflects light and shadows differently than light skin and needs its own already-dark base.

I will seriously consider trying to throw together a skinblend for male and female skins that are dark like this because I truly think there are none. BUUUUT LOL rambling aside I do have new recommendations for makeup and skin details since that post:

1. First up is @sourlemonsimblr for makeup. Especially for eyebrows and lipsticks! A lot of their lipsticks are insanely detailed and recolorable enough that they can fit most darker tones. Their skins are lovely too and they've even recently made a dark skin which I will💗Link Here💗. I haven't gotten a chance to play with it yet but they always have quality stuff. Take a stroll through their Downloads page because it's definitely worth it. 2. Next up for skin detail makeups is @smallsimmer. They have so many good nose makes and eye/lip details that can be recolored to use on your darker skinned sims! If you ever had a skin you really liked and wanted to switch up the nose, eyes or lips, their skin detail makeup will absolutely come in clutch. They even have a few converted for child and toddler sims (something ts3 is lacking in)💗Link Here💗 3. If you want some AF skins for darker sims that are readily available and detailed, I'd suggest @annoyinglydarkblaze I learned a lot about making skins from watching their journey into skin making a few years ago. Since they aren't as active anymore and their posts are a bit scattered I will link the skins I like best: 💗Here💗 💗Here💗 and 💗Here💗 4. My next pick for more masculine/male-centered CAS makeup and CC is @nectar-cellar Their cc has been helpful as I slowly update my male OCs. The Beards/detail makeup torso muscled-torso meshes and clothing are some of the best. 5. I also suggest @simtanico for sliders and their detail makeup. I have just about every slider they've created 😂They also make really well done maxis-match kinda styled clothes for male sims too.

I'm sure there are tons of other people I'm missing but its been a minute since I've been around simblr myself so I'll try to update this list as I go.

I'll also leave you with a little tip: Do NOT be afraid to use the opacity slider and layering with makeup on darker sims. Layering and opacity is your friend!

Happy Simming! 💗✨

You are a person who always respects others and you will never do something disrespectful to others.

🛁Chiron in 1st house -your personality can often be gentle, kind, people can describe you as a person who is gentle and fragile. You give off energy as someone who heals people and helps them. Therefore, many people can turn to you for help or see you as someone who will help them. It may indicate a journey of self-discovery.

🍸Eros in 1st house- love at first sight seems very real to you, though often it is lust. You will blatantly chase your love interest. You may also have an aggressive or controlling side when it comes to sex. You may seem a little erratic to others, simply because your passions rise and fall so quickly. You are attached to the sensations of the moment and may see your partner as an object, or an extension of themselves.

-Rebekah💘☁️🫧

(I can't figure out how to send asks from my sideblog but this ask is from ShallowOak!) Hi!! I absolutely LOVE your pony designs! Can you talk us through your thought process on some of them? Like I've never seen anyone pick white fur for Luffy and it is just SO cute and I love it and aaaaa, your work makes me smile!

Hello! I'm glad you like them!!! people liking my horsies fills me with joy♥♥♥ Since you mentioned Luffy's fur I guess you want some kind of explanation about how I pick colors (because if we're talking about design and pony types that's a whole different thing that I will be delighted to explain hehe)

I made this thing, I hope it helps my explanation, but practically when I do the color part, I just keep trying until I feel like it looks good lol

Here are some thoughts I had while trying tones for Luffy

I try to start with the basic colors of the characters and see what tones are lacking in the palette, so if it's a very warm color palette I try to find a cold color for the coat.

Sometimes that doesn't work and I try with a lighter version of one of the detail's colors (like, I put a light blue in one of Nami's possible coat tones bc I was thinking about her swimsuit)

I also keep in mind the other ponies coats and do my best so they don't repeat since they're a group and will appear together sometimes and that might be confusing if they're drawn without their accesories :)

I feel like my pony designs are quite basic (to the point where I'm scared they will look plain) because my style is stuck in early MLP OC designs who used to be more similar to the show (the point back then was to make a pony that would go unnoticed as a background pony from the show).

Actually many new OC designs have markings, accessories, clothes, and other stuff. I added clothes to the OP designs because I like to try to adapt them to pony bodies haha but I didn't want to add color variations and stuff just bc I'm not used to it and I don't like overly complicated designs.

Hope that helped, the first answer is ✨vibes✨

the second one is "My color theory teacher scared me a lot and I learned driven by fear so everything's engraved in my brain forever even if I can't explain it with difficult words"

Every month of 2023 ✨

Post your most popular and/or favorite edit/gifset for each month (it’s okay to skip months!)

thank you so much for tagging me zey [x] @smileytharn, mj [x] @forcebook, jessi [x] @daymork, and antania [x] @raypakorn ♥ it was so lovely to look through all of your creations! you've all worked hard during the past year and i hope i get to see more creations from all of you throughout this year ^^

-

i'm collecting my creations for each month under the cut but let's look at some fun statistics at first! (inspired by antania's post ♥)

i created 68 edits

additionally, there were 5 photo collabs (jimmysea photoshoots)

and 4 text post meme posts (for last twilight)

the most edits i made in may (due to our skyy 2 episodes)

most of my edits were related to vice versa (13 in total)

the second most popular ones were bad buddy (8 edits) and last twilight (10 edits)

most of my edits were either lovely/warm or angsty

i got deep into episode edits this year

and also took inspiration from other than poetry and lyrics

thank you so much for being part of all this!

January

my most popular edit was this vegaspete set i made for @spicyvampire ♥ i actually like it a ton! but my personal favorite from this month is my bad buddy characters + the real 5 love languages set. i like the meme a ton and i loved how the set turned out (+ for me, it's super funny).

February

my most popular edit this month was the toddblack differences edit i made for @i-got-the-feels ♥ it was a very different type of edit and i'm very happy ppl liked it this much. personal favorite is this jimmy(sea) set for the varitda mv he/they appeared in. i loved the aesthetic of the mv and i feel like i captured that very well.

March

the most popular edit in march was my akkayan + one direction piece dedicated to @fitfmybeloved ♥ i think i need to make something else with a similar style sometime. my favorites would be the puen & talay's top 10 outfits edits which technically happened in february and march. i had a ton of fun with them and i honestly adore looking at the results.

April

my birthday month! the most popular creation was my beyond evil edit which was interesting to make according to @nongnaos's request ♥ i had never edited this show (or any kdrama) before and i also struggled a bit with figuring out the layout. it's a very simple set but felt fitting. my favorite this month would be this puentalay set made for you antania ♥ it took a lot of time, especially all the coloring, but it was worth every second! (special mention for my sea bday set which i still cannot believe the bday boy actually saw and liked on twt ;; i love him so much!)

May

i think it's very deserved that my most popular edit in may was this puentalay one for my our skyy 2 episode edits series. it's for the first vice versa episode and tbh also my personal favorite out of all those episode edits i made ^^ the coloring just worked super well there. my true favorite of the month was the pran's life anthem edit i made for @pransobrave ♥

June

as is fitting for pride month, my most popular edit and also my personal favorite was my our skyy 2 couples edit where i tried to describe all of their different loves through the colors of a rainbow. it was a lot of fun to do!

July

the most popular edit this month was the pran set i made for @punpunsutatta ♥ i had a lot of fun with this one bc i got to try some new things with it. personal faves and my peak as an editor (in my own opinion) were the two puentalay edits i made this month. this sam smith song inspired one i made for you zey ♥ i adore the layout and the colors, it makes me think about vintage images and letters. and this other one was born bc the quote haunted me. i love the pink in it a lot, it's so soft.

August

for august, i felt like i was making a ton of things even if i didn't have the energy or the time. in reality, i didn't make that many but i made a couple of very big sets. one of them and the most popular one this month was my winteam set made for @jimmysea ♥ making it took some research and then i had to go through the episodes a little while i searched for the fitting scenes. personal favorite was this akktheo set bc it turned out looking very cute. i think it captures their feeling as a couple and their story well. special mention for my jimmy bday set bc i poured my heart into it ♥ i love this man so much (and i currently wish he is fine and gets well soon, he's apparently in the hospital ;;)

September

things got hectic in september as i started my internship and had to travel around a lot. i was too tired to do much else but work and study and watch dramas without any brain. that's why i only made two edits. my most popular set was my last request edit for my event. it was patpran with the lyrics from ford arun's song come closer and made for @celestial-sapphicss ♥ i love the colors in this so much. personal favorite, only barely, is still my puentalay + 8 types of love set. i had a blast making it as a kind of collab with @dimpledpran who made the patpran version!

October

made only two edits (or well, one cut into two parts) in october too due to being very busy and tired. they were quite big tho bc i used a long while gathering material for them. it was its own type of research project when i wrote down all the times puentalay told each other 'i love you' without saying those exact words to each other. i struggled with the layout too as mimi can probably remember :'D but i love these sets a lot so they're both my favorite and most popular ♥

November

finally in november last twilight came to save all of us and so it's no wonder i created a lot for that during this month :'D i honestly wished to make more but i was still mostly busy with my internship and with starting my thesis. my most popular one was this last twilight trailer edit. i think it was fun to kind of make it similar to my mock trailer edit all that time ago. my personal favorite is the mork + linkin park edit that probably caters to only myself lol. am honestly obsessed with each song mentioned in this bc i can see it with mork so well. it was a relief to get that one out.

December

haven't really had the time to dive as deep into last twilight and make as many edits for it as i'd wanted due to using most of december to catch up on sleep and all the studying i couldn't do during my internship, but hopefully now i'll have more time to devastate yall ♥ the most popular post was this last twilight + random tweets thing and my personal favorite is the only morkday quote edit i've managed so far. i love the colors and the whole concept to bits, and cannot wait to make more ^^

-

thank you if you read this far! i'm not sure who hasn't been tagged yet bc i'm a bit late with this one but if you have done this already, you can always send it my way! i almost demand you do. i love appreciating all your art ♥

tagging: @dimpledpran @jimmysea @moonkhao @chinzillas @khaotunqs @pranink @dengswei @taeminie @psychic-waffles (i'd love to see your art!) @yilinglaozu @eohachu @difanghua @mooninagust @namchyoon ♥

I'm not taking NSFW art requests at this time.

I'm not experienced in furry art, so I'm also not taking those requests at this time.

I'm not taking requests for horror or gore (mostly because I kind of suck at it). A little blood or surface injuries are fine.

If you want me to try to draw in a particular franchise's art style, let me know! We can chat about what I think I can and can't do. I want to make sure I can produce something you'll be happy with :).

As mentioned above, please try to limit the number of characters to 1. If your request requires 2 characters, I'll need to adjust the price for time. 2 is the max I'll take on, this time around.

I reserve the right to change or add to these at any time as I figure things out!

Thanks y'all! ✨ Feel free to hit me up with any questions, too.

I already have so many drawings with Hisoka that I'm at a loss how to publish them… I tried to put it all together in one post, so it turned out to be quite long :_) Here is a mixture of experiments with style and not only. And a few more drawings of Hisoka together with his childhood friend Teruko Date, ultimate electrician✨

TW: Below there will be illustrations with bright colors and blood

I drew this picture for Halloween. Fantasies about what would have happened if Hisoka had become a new remnant of despair. I tried to play with the composition and the light, I had to suffer a little. But really like the result!

Well, here I was experimenting with emotion, and then I wanted to add some color and drama… In fact, Hisoka's emotions have been tightly associated with interference from the very beginning. Tinnitus, the world around is becoming painfully bright — something like that. I use this in illustrations from time to time.

In the first post about Hisoka, I mentioned that there was an incident in middle school where he attacked a classmate with a stationery knife. (if you're interested, you can take a look at this post) I came across another reference on Pinterest and such a picture appeared…

That's it for today! This post really turned out to be very long… I need to try to spread the content more evenly with my beloved son, ahah.

For life with Steddie I loved the conversations could we get something where reader and Steddie are out and just being cute bestfriends? I love platonic love🥰🥰

Hiii babes!! I also love a good platonic relationship so of course I’ll give you a little something with them just being their usual bestie selves! Enjoy!!💖

-find all things Life with Steve and Eddie here✨

“He isn’t even cute.” You roll your eyes at Eddie’s comment as you flip through the People magazine that’s in your hands as you sit in an uncomfortable arm chair that’s just outside the dressing room of a store Steve dragged the two of you into.

“Am I supposed to know who you’re talking about?” It was Eddie’s turn to roll his eyes as he tried to get comfortable sitting on one of the armrests of the chair.

“The guy you have plans with tonight.” You smile at the mention of your date, you’d been looking forward to it all week and even though Eddie didn’t approve of who it was with you didn’t care because Steve always had your back. “He isn’t cute and he has no personality.” He adds as you close the magazine and hand it to him so he can put it back on the little table next to the chair.

“Just because he isn’t cute doesn’t me she can’t go on a date with him.” Steve explains as he finally appears from the dressing room in a yellow short sleeve shirt and jeans that are tight on his hips and thighs just how he likes. “She deserves a free meal and some kisses.” You feel Eddie stand up and hear him let out a groan as he rubs a hand over his face at the mention of kisses, you just smile at Steve when he turns to get your thoughts on the outfit.

“Firstly he is cute so both of you quit trying to say otherwise…also this is a lovely shirt I really like it.” Steve just laughs as Eddie rolls his eyes as you get up and walk over to Steve to help fix the collar of his shirt. “Secondly I don’t kiss on the first date.” Eddie just nods his head as you talk while Steve tries not to get in your way while you tinker with his shirt getting it styled in the way you know he likes. “And lastly I do in fact deserve a free meal so who’s buying lunch?” Eddie laughs and shakes his head as he points to Steve who just raises an eyebrow at the long haired metalhead.

“Me? Fuck that I bought ice cream half an hour ago.” You turn to look at Eddie over your shoulder and watch as he reaches for his wallet in his back pocket.

“Fine but I only have twenty bucks.” He announces before putting his wallet back in his pocket. You finish messing with Steve’s shirt and take a step back so you’re now standing right next to Eddie. “Who knew yellow was in Harrington’s color wheel?” You just giggle as you playfully smack Eddie’s chest as he drapes an arm over your shoulder while Steve gives himself a once over in the mirror.

“I do look good in yellow don’t I?” You both just nod as he turns and places his hands on his hips. “I’m gonna get it.” Eddie just looks down at you as you smile at Steve.

“Ten bucks says he’s gonna wear it on a date with what’s her face.” Eddie whispers only loud enough for you to hear as Steve turns and heads back to the dressing room to put his shirt back on.

“He’s not gonna save that for a date he’s too excited about it so I bet you ten bucks he wears it to go bowling tomorrow.” You challenge making Eddie laugh because he knows you’re probably right but that doesn’t stop him from shaking your hand confirming the bet is on.

“Think he’ll notice if we leave him here and go get some fries and milkshakes?” You just laugh as you rest your head on Eddie’s shoulder instinctively making him pull you closer to him as you wrap your arm around his waist.

“He drove us remember? And last time we tried to walk from the mall to Benny’s you almost got me hit by a bus.” Eddie just lets out a huff at your answer as the two of you stand there while Steve pays for his new shirt.

“I didn’t almost get you hit by a bus you are just clumsy and can’t walk a straight line.” Eddie defends himself as you gently pinch his sides making him squirm and laugh.

“Walk a straight line? Munson you had her walking on the curb in flip flops so yeah she’s gonna fall into the street you jackass.” Steve argues on your behalf making you smile as Eddie rolls his eyes. “Ready?” You just nod as you wrap your free arm around Steve’s middle making it to where you’re standing between the two of them as you walk through the mall back towards the entrance Steve parked his car at. “I think I might wear this shirt tomorrow it’ll look nice with those ugly bowling shoes.” Eddie lets out a groan as you laugh causing Steve to raise an eyebrow.

“I agree.” You state as you look up at Steve who’s already smiling down at you. “It’ll look awesome with those ugly bowling shoes.”

Hello I would like to ask if you could give me a critique and any tips on this artwork I recreated. Your art is very inspiring and has kept my attention for weeks. You had answered my question about Cohozuna in a very detailed way and I got the idea to draw one of his parties. Though I wanted to practice this style of drawing so I followed along to your speed paint of Steelhead. The sketch went well but once I added color everything seemed flat. I still am very new to drawing so any tips would help. Also I don’t mean to infringe on your idea by any means if it seems that way. I wanted to mention this before I even try to post anything so I am not just copying your talent.

I also tried to make a sketch of Cohozuna himself.

Thank you very much for the art and inspiration.

That really means a lot that my art is a form of inspiration!! 🎉🎉 I'm honored to have inspired you!

These drawings all came out amazing (no worries about the Steelhead, it's okay with me if you drew from reference)! I know you asked for a critique, but admittedly I'm not as confident with offering professional/critical advice; so I do apologize if that's what you were looking for!

With the Steelhead drawing, I know you mentioned the colors came out too flat for your liking. I can see what you mean though, as Steelhead in this series is a character mostly made of greys! One thing I can suggest is if you're coloring with greys and want to make them more full & less flat, you can play around with changing the hue/saturation of the greys! Here's what I mean:

The Hue changes the colors, and the Saturation determines how subtle or intense a color appears. And the Value is what makes colors lighter or darker, so you can adjust those as well if need be!

Hue/Saturation/Value can be be changed as much (or as little) as needed to give any shade of gray little/more color.

Here's an example of me shifting the Saturation & Hue just a liiiittle bit while not changing the Value (to keep it at the same lightness:

(Character designs with various shades of gray are just as great! This tip is only for if you're wanting to color with grays to make them look less flat)

As you say you're just starting out drawing, I do have a couple of art advice I can offer! While they can be applied to most artstyle, these tips are mainly geared towards cartoon styles. (The first tip is a basic one while the second moreso goes off of feeling/emotion rather than being a visual guide.)

Practice with Shapes!

This goes for any aspect of a character (head, body, etc). You can experiment and have fun with different shapes for characters!

These are only a few shape examples of different head/body shapes (as well as weight/mass), though there's many other shapes to explore when designing/drawing characters!

Become Your Inspirations

This is how A Salmon Good Time came to be! The art direction of this series is heavily inspired by the Don Bluth animated films.

How I got to where I am is a result of me studying the artsyle and familiarizing myself with it by watching some Don Bluth films, drawing characters from the films (from reference and memory), studying how the characters move or talk, etc!

Heck, I even had some people tell me that they study/wanna study my artsyle and it makes me feel honored, to be honest 🥺❤️ I'm not against it if anyone feels inspired by my art and wants to study it— in fact, I encourage it!

(I responded to an ask on my main Tumblr a year ago that also talks about becoming your inspirations as well: image is below!)

Beetlejuice Coloring Process! 🪲

Since my new artwork is gonna take me some time to complete, I decided that now would be a good time to talk about my coloring process for Beetlejuice's design! Specifically, I want to talk about picking out the palette for his eyes and outfit. It was a confusing process that's nice to look back and reflect upon.

Beetlejuice took me the longest to design... I almost gave up on completing him, but I'm glad I persevered! I really love how he came out in the end!

Since this will be a long post with several images, I will add a "read-more" link in case people wanna keep scrolling.

Otherwise, here's my coloring process!

-

After I finished laying out the colors for his skin tone and hair, I started thinking about how exactly I wanted his eyes to look like. I really like designing eyes in general because I feel it adds a lot more character to a design!

My initial idea was to give Beetlejuice slightly dark scleras with yellow pupils in order to create this eerie, uncanny effect.

The problem with that idea was that it ended up feeling... too eerie.

I felt as if it was leaning a lot more on him being a demon, with not enough leeway to show a more human side of him. As a result, it made it difficult to connect with him as a character... which was not what I wanted.

My next idea was to merge the color palettes from my two artist references - creaturologie and shnikkles.

While I felt like I was moving in a better direction, this made it very clear to me that I needed to find a palette that better suited my art style, because I felt the red here was just... too much? It ended up overpowering the green which was definitely not what I wanted.

Finally, I decided to stick to the original stage production and make his scleras white. This also made it easier for me to balance his eyes with his skin tone.

As for his pupils... I started thinking about amber stones, and how they illuminate in a way that is very subtle and beautiful...

That's when I realized that Beetlejuice's pupils didn't need to be consistently illuminated in order to have that subtle, eerie effect. They just need to create the illusion that they can illuminate wherever he went or however you looked at him.

With this in mind, I created the final version!

I couldn't be any happier with how it came out! I felt as if I finally hit that perfect balance between his human and demon characteristics! You're able to connect with him better, all while he retains the more frightening elements of his character.

That being said... his eyes can very much glow in the dark, if he so chooses.

-

I'd like to quickly touch on the outfit, because I had been going back and forth as to whether I wanted to add some semblance of color to his design or not...

I did try coloring his button-up with a magenta similar to the cartoon version... but I wasn't a huge fan of it. I realized I wanted more of a consistency to Beetlejuice's design.

This brought me to another challenge - how much value did I want to add in each part of Beetlejuice's outfit? I knew right away that I did not want to use pure black and white, but I still wanted to create a distinction of some kind for each outfit piece.

For this, I heavily referenced the musical - I've always loved how Beetlejuice's outfit wasn't a bright white. Rather, it was weathered out to be gray. It gave him a more gothic feel, which I fell in love with. I took it up a notch and gave him just a slight tinge of blue, as an homage to Corpse Bride - one of my favorite Tim Burton movies! I would eventually use a similar palette for Lydia in order for her and Beetlejuice to match.

With that, I completed the look of my Beetlejuice design! ✨

Hey! Do you think you could write either some nsfw headcanon for gene or a nsfw alphabet? Maybe something with a height difference? He’s 6’2 (6’8 in the platforms) and ya girl is 4’9 😂 anyways thanks babs luv ya! 😗✨❤️

omg hii again! yess, i'd love to, i love gene hes so cool 😭 i'll include the height diff into the nsfw alphabet. holy shit never actually realized that uh okay damn. i'm like 5'..1? idk something i don't remember !! luv ya too! 💕🤧

NSFW ALPHABET

(GENE SIMMONS!)

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

I don't think he's much or too much of an romantic type, but he tries his best. He always is trying to get you things you'd like, and stuff like that. During aftercare, he'll kiss your forehead, and help clean you up. Bring you to bed(if you didn't do it on the bed), sleep with you, and in the morning he'll stay with you.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

I think Gene likes the way he towers over you in the boots and just the way he is. When he looks down at you, and you have to look up at him. How you sometimes have to get a step-stool like thing to get there and kiss him. He still has to bend over a little. Or he'll say he likes ur lips, because of the way they taste and how you kiss him. He likes his hands though, because he is able to play guitar and trail his hands up and down ur body.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Gene likes to let his load out upon anywhere on you, but not all the time. He'll cum on ur ass or stomach, but if that isn't what u want, it'll be in ur mouth. He'll force you to swallow it.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Personally, Gene has nothing to keep from you. He is an open book, and is totally willing to talk to you about anything. He loves you, and doesn't want you to think he's hiding anything, but he'll like to share you with Paul.. I KNOW, but he isn't gonna keep it from you..

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Guys. Rockstar, Groupie? Make sense? Of course he has experience on him, he's very experienced, and he obviously knows what he's doing. He has pounded many groupies beforehand, it probably explains why he isn't as romantic after sex because he's used to groupies.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

He is an open book, so any position is good with him, but he prefers doggy style as much as anything. Although he does like reverse cowgirl or any way you two land up. But if u'd like to try a new position thats fine with him.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

He's a goofy one during sex, giggling and laughing when you fall off the bed or make a weird noise, but gets very serious during sex, the eye contact is amazing, but he can't help but smile at you because ur smiling at him. He says ur smile is very beautiful.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Same color as the hair on his head, and of course you can see it. He doesn't have to be asked to trim it nor groom, because he'll do it anyway for you. He doesn't like them either dude. He has a lotta hair on him, when he gets sweaty its worse. You don't even ask him to shave anywhere and he does.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Like I said, Gene isn't very great with romantic shit, it just isn't him as much. He does try a lot for you if thats what you want, like candles, romantic music, and rose petals but not all the time. He tries his best to be somewhat intimate with you. Although he isn't like Tommy Lee. He isn't a hopeless romantic like him, although he can be if you want him too, he wants to try his best with you.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

He doesn't actually do it much. Sometimes, yeah when he's on tour, but usually phone sex happens. He wants to at-least hear your pretty little cries, but at times he just doesn't masturbate at all. He doesn't really touch his weenie much, it rarely happens unless he's really in the mood. Otherwise he doesn't do it.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Not much of a kink man, although dude is into ball gags and shit, bdsm maybe. When he roughs you up, he calls you slut, whore, all that stuff, but sometimes its just hair pulling or teasing you heavily.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

He likes the bed because pillows, and its comfortable for him, because the feels. But he's willing to do it over tables, counters, in public. He tried doing it in a public bathroom or in one of those family restrooms and under a restaurant table. He doesn't mind public sex. Doesn't like the way people can see, but whatever is good w him, ig.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Seeing you in black lingerie. Totally gets him going. He'll pop one and thats the go too, you know it turns him on so thats why you wear it so much.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

He wouldn't ever try and hurt you as much, spanking a few times is okay, but nothing to over the top. And definitely nothing with bodily fluids. (You know the ones), and nothing with Feet. Absolutely not. He'll call it off and probably just not have sex with you or leave you if thats what your really into because that's disgusting for him.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

As much as he adores receiving, he doesn't mind about giving. He loves to please you, especially if he's between your legs, kissing all around and then finally placing his hot mouth and sucking the living shit out of you and teasing you with his tongue just to see you beg and hear you whine and whimper for him. He loves blowies, so definitely give those to him first beforehand.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Eh, Gene is slow at first, but he gets fast longer it goes. He'll get sloppy too, but if you want fast and rough then there. He wants sex to be as sensual as it can be.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He's a busy rockstar so, quickies bound to happen at times. Its often, although he prefers actual sex and having his time with you, quickies is usually what you two have to do, because he doesn't get much time with you, sorry.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Hes down, but not too down. You have to explain to him what the risk is your going to take and then see if he'll agree to it.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

He can last a few rounds until he finally says he's too tired and he starts getting sloppy. He can last for a few minutes during sex until he actually lets his load out, but he can last about an hour pounding into you until its the next round for you two.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Y'know, I don't think he uses them on himself. He'll use them on you though, sure he owns them but they're mostly yours. He's willing to lend you cash for them, but its rare he does so, because you usually buy it yourself.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He loves to tease you, but he loves when you tease him. He'll groan and want you to just blow him already. He loves teasing you though, hearing ur cries, and being touch starved.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

He isn't that loud. He grunts, lets out small groans and husky moans, sometimes squeaky moans, but usually he doesn't make much noise.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Sharing you with Paul, thats it. Maybe Ace? He doesn't know.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

I got no idea. Probably a.. 7.8, 8.2 inch? Idk he has a lotta hair down there like Slash. Its like a jungle dude. Could get a leopard in there man.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

On tour, its very high. And if he's without you on tour, its even higher. Its high when he comes back and he will want to have sex with you at home afterwards or even before if he is with you. He can't help it.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Not as quick, although he'll fall asleep afterwards.

The Dance

Erwin Smith x Reader

Summary: Your steps were not working out with your current partner. So when a tall blonde rival's partner becomes ill, do your steps smooth out?

Word Count: 1.3K

Warnings: Rivals to lovers, not really angst- just some tension, otherwise ✨dance✨

For reference:

-The Tango for this fic: "La Cumparsita"

-Tango dance is one the most famous partner dances that emphasizes the vibrant and playful style of movement, rich expressions, improvisation and requires close connection and passion between dancers.

A/N: I guess I still write y'all 😂 this is dedicated to my lovely @bluebellhairpin who always supports my ideas. It's not much but it's honest work. Set in the same AU as "Quickstep"! Please enjoy my loves❤️-Birch<3

Part 2 - "Promenade"

Part 3 - "The Olympic Games"

"Alright everyone, we are going to warm up with some rock steps, please find your partners," the instruction came.

You nod in the direction of the voice, (colored) eyes searching for the brown hair of your usual partner. Instead, you are met with the eyes of one of the girls who helps run your practice.

"Hey, Y/n...", she starts off slowly, nervously drumming her fingers on her clipboard, "Hayden swapped partners for the upcoming competition. He mentioned something about how you two didn't have any chemistry or something."

Your stomach drops at her words. What?! Your competition was in 3 days, the most important competition of your life, your Olympic Qualifier, and your partner dipped?!

Your mouth parts in shock as she stares at you nervously before she stutters out, "B-but on a good note, I guess, is that we just got a new lead on the team, and he's already qualified for the Olympics."

Thoughts are fluttering in your mind as you gawk at the trainer in front of you. You shake your head to try to clear your thoughts, coughing once to clear your throat and then you ask, "Who is he?"

Who is he? What did he look like? Was he tall?

You liked a tall lead, even though the steps could be large and hard to keep up with.

Was he any good? Well, he must be if he's already qualified.

And that's when your heart stops. A blonde head of hair entered the room, perfectly kept standard ballroom shoes on his feet.

Sharp blue eyes snap to yours, and all you can see is ice. It couldn't be him. Not him. Anyone but him.

Erwin Smith.

"Alright everyone, let's get to it. This will be the song for your choreographed part with your partners. The two of you will design your own set with the help of an instructor. For now, just dance freely to start figuring out steps you like."

You turn to snap at the assistant instructor who had been right next to you. And when you turn around, you are met with the broad chest and sharp eyes of your rival, Erwin Smith.

You see, Erwin was the bane of your existence. He was the reason you hadn't qualified earlier in the season with Hayden. Because he and his follow, Patricia, had gotten the only qualifying spot at that competition.

He always was one step ahead, figuratively, because there was no one with better timing or rhythm than Erwin. He was impeccable, consistent, and ever so intense. There was nothing that could distract him from the heat of the dance with his partner.

"Y/n," you hear rumble out lowly from him. Your heart had already started hammering in your chest from your realization when he walked in, but now? You couldn't believe your eyes.

He looked... pristine. His white button-up was the perfect mimic of his competition wear, just ever-so-slightly more casual and comfortable for many repeated reps.

Everything about the way he stood in front of you made you want to scream. Curse. Yell at him up and down until you got a new partner.

But you knew there weren't any out there. Leads were hard to come by, and good ones? Even harder. Ones as good as Erwin Smith? Impossible.

You shift your weight and murmur, "Erwin Smith. I can't imagine what would bring you to a different team, let alone having me as a partner. Patricia up and leave you?"

Erwin's brows furrow as he takes a looming step toward you, his gaze hard as he looks down at you as he firmly replies, "Patricia is ill, for your knowledge. She cannot make it to the qualifier this weekend. And whoever I dance with this weekend is who I take to the Olympics. You are merely the best statistic I could find."

A pang runs through you, and you can't place what feeling it was, but it didn't feel great. Before you can respond, you can hear the sound of a metronome clicking.

Erwin's icy gaze glances away to the instructors before he offers you the invite to dance, in the classic standard way for Tango.

You narrow your eyes and begrudgingly accept, placing your left hand on the meeting between his shoulder and his bicep.

Hayden was not this tall, you think to yourself as you find Erwin's stony gaze. Nor was he ever this... intense. Why is he looking at me like-

Before you can finish your thought, you hear the music start, and Erwin takes his first step toward you. Your body immediately follows his easy and practiced lead.

As much as you hated to admit it, Erwin was good. Really, really good. Although your steps were not rehearsed nor choreographed, he directed you in the easiest and most delicate way possible.

It was as easy as watching rain fall from the sky on a drizzling spring morning. As easy as reading your favorite book and seeing your beloved characters fall in love.

He was so easy to follow that you didn't have to worry about your steps or where you were going. It almost felt fake.

You held his strong and icy gaze through the song when needed, not even realizing that as you were guided down the line of dance, the other partnerships dropped out.

The music was loud in your ears, the counts and metronome a blur as all you could focus on was your body moving. The feeling of your hips moving, the touch of Erwin's hand on your waist.

The look he was giving you.

It made you furious. It made you furious that he made it this easy, that he made the two of you look like an effortless pair.

You heard some playful whistles from behind you as Erwin pulls you almost flat to his chest, the two of you moving into a classic Tango Walk.

Your lip just barely brushes the material of his shirt, your mouth parted as his eyes bore deeply into your own (colored) ones.

You feel a wave of butterflies in your stomach, but they quickly dissipate when you feel Erwin push you into an Open Fan, your fingers releasing from his shoulder to put you in a dramatic "v" shape away from each other.

Your fingers gracefully point in the air above your head before you are whisked into a Promenade, Erwin directing your every move.

It was the subtlety in his touch, the way his hand grazed your side when bringing you back to him. The way he was firm and solid in his footwork.

There was absolutely no doubt that he was amazing. And you managed to keep up with him. Keep up with him, and perform.

Before you know it, the music swells and you are whipped into a dramatic dip, Erwin's grip tightening up on you ever so slightly.

Your chest is pounding and you're breathing heavily when you regain eye contact with Erwin, who is already lost in thought, staring at you.

The song ends and the metronome stops when the two of you are surrounded by whistles and a few pairs of hands clapping together.

Erwin pulls you back up and then immediately releases you, reaching up to brush a stray blond piece of hair back into place. He doesn't glance at you once, and suddenly the rush of adrenaline you had been on drops, and you're left with a grimace on your face.

He was good, and he knew it. You knew you were good too, and the way neither of you made a mistake? The gears were turning in your mind, and as Erwin walked away, you couldn't help but feel a fire burning in your belly.

Because in 3 days' time, your dance partner was in for it. And you couldn't wait to show him what you were really made of.
