tawny condor
upper arm
urban minnow
I'd make that arm and the torso a bit longer. Everything else looks spot on though!
tawny condor
not forearm forearm is fine
also pec looks kiiiiinda weird mebbe bc that one line is a lil shorter than it should be nd extends a bit further than it should extend but idk lookin at the photo with the arm u can't tell as much as when u look at the one w/o
so thas prolly not a major change
o wait no i think i was lookin at it wrong
lone mountain
ok making arm longer
vague hawk

Rewrote a chapter I wrote middle of 2016 ;3
Turned 300 words into 700
Gonna add a few more scenes and such to the chapter also
Apparently in 2016 my focus was, 'this is exactly what they do, they speaks, they do stuff.' and I didn't exactly linger on descriptions too much
And also from getting back into writing fanfic again, I have learned: People like Shizaya themed fanfic way more than Naruto fanfic that has an OC main character
thin dagger
oh cool!!!!
lone mountain
why are those long coats that women wear
the ones with the really thin fabric and doesnt button up
probably just a stylish thing
i need to know for a design
okay apparently they called long cardigans
ugh i love these things
theyre so cute
im gonna do some chibis of it before doing the whole sheet just to see if it will even look as good as i imagine sweats

those things r awesome
I bet ur chibis will look gr8

@brittle ermine Wacom is a great reliable brand, in my experience
I've had a variety of tablets over the years, but nothing as great as a wacom
my first one is still alive and kicking now, 8 years later 😄
here, two of their intuos are 99$ and 78$ respectively 😃
the 99$ connect by bluetooth, which is kinda neat
personally I would recommend the wired one tho I think
just cause it probably ensures a bit more longevity
but go with whatever suits your needs best !
brittle ermine
Thank you so much! (: You've helped a lot

Either kinda wavy brown or dead straight black with jagged layers at the end
And one of those bands that goes around the top of the head?

@lusty hull depends on the kind of hipster 😃
I live in the most hipster neighborhood of my city, so I see a lot of variety XD

"You can talk about projects/commissions but you can't directly link to them or advertise them in the server. Recruiting for projects is not allowed."

i think its cos ppl don't want others spamming :/

nice to see how my eyes have improved over time 😄
or rather, their expressiveness

haha yeah, like many a young artist my initial point of reference was anime

Mine was Calvin and Hobbes

which is a big no-no until you actually know what you're doing :p

I've ne er been coming up with my own characters. Just drawing what I see
So most of my work is fan art
devout bridge
im the opposite;;; i gotta start doing more fanart lmao
crisp saddle
I love the 2nd ones pose btw!
tawny condor
right???? i screamed and like, danced around the room when i was reading it cos it was so good and also like, some of the writers for tfp were on the team that was writing...idk whatever the hell optimus prime was being called at the time who kno, anyway my point is it was probably mostly canon in prime too
tawny condor
also same feble i gotta make more fanart so i can like, table at cons and sell stuff lmao
crisp saddle
I was supposed to be doing that this year. whoops
devout bridge
right? rn ive technically got prints, but theyre just single page illustrations for zines im in
like
zines seem to be the only way to get me to make fanart its so dumb lol
everything else is dumbass ocs or fanart of characters but only slightly cause its ocxcanon ship art
tawny condor
i should probably get on the zine bandwagon but like,,,,,,,,
i dunno where to look for openings
devout bridge
i just check tumblr tbh?
tawny condor
like the tags?
devout bridge
sorta? one i found from legit looking into the zine tag, another i was just looking at fanart for stuff i like and ran into an application post
devout bridge
i mean, you def gotta do some homework and check that the zine runners are legit and not gonna scam you outta your art, but so far everyone i've worked with has done zines before and/or is someone i recognise
tawny condor
okie, but like how much art portfolio do u need to show u have like, actual qualifications?
devout bridge
depends on them tbh, most of them either ask for your art tag and/or 3-5 pieces of your best work
tawny condor
okie neat gotcha i can do that
crisp saddle
Lmao that time a fb acquaintance put up an awesome pose for a profile picture so I turned him into a jba character xD
tawny condor
good
devout bridge
i only started doing zines early this year, so its not nearly as scary as you might think it is!
and omg
tawny condor
jjba's great honestly and i am so fucking hype for stone ocean
tawny condor
o ok! good to kno like i was just kinda here like ;-; what do i do
devout bridge
on one hand, i dont know anything about it and kinda wanna know more, but on the other hand the utter confusion it leaves me in is funny on its own and i dont wanna ruin my own meme
tawny condor
lmao fair
devout bridge
but yeee zines arent that bad. a lot of the tumblr ones are charity zines though, so you might not get paid. theres an anthology account on twitter for paid original content ones, but those usually ask for comic ideas and im too spooped to write out a multi page comic
tawny condor
sweats i may or may not be worldbuilding for a ridiculously huge comic thing

the house of masks wants u to join their masquerade ball today
and uhhhhh eldritch gods and new gods don't like each other
theres more
but
devout bridge
👀
tawny condor
like its a lot
devout bridge
masks and eldritch gods is all i needed to hear
tawny condor
yeah the house of masks is wild
like during one of the meeting of the houses (this is in a flashback that has to be there bc context), the current King of Crows (my girl Pyre) was like, to the Host (head of the house of masks) she was like, "uh hey buddy can u maybe remove that?" (bc this place is super secret and sacred, so sacred the gods can't even look in) so they take it off and there's just another, identical mask under it
but yeah like i said it's
much
devout bridge
lmao
i love the mask under a mask trope?? im sure theres a real trope name for it but its like when u have a smaller hat under ur regular hat
good stuff
devout bridge
mine is also eldritchy but its cowboys because ur binch has an aesthetic and no self control
aw hell yeah houses
tawny condor
good shit good shit eldritch cowboys
but the houses rule like, different elements/aspects nd whatever
there's candles (fire), verdure (plants), crows (death/spirits n junk), tempest (wind), chains (kinkseals/binding), and masks (sneaky venetian bastard housepolitical spies) and together they keep the world from falling apart basically????
cept
ok so like the lore that im prolly not gonna get to include in the comic: original god, Asmodeus, was actually kind of the compilation of the final cries of a dying universe (thas how every universe starts, is a cycle). nd then they were lonely so they made friends, and uh then his friends made life and whatever else idk, someone took up sculpture and is now living in a pocket dimension somewhere but she's not important to the story at all
so now life was there!
but
like
life can be created without the gods interference, which they honestly didnt fuckin realize???
so humans
thats how humans happened
or
devout bridge
rip
tawny condor
whatever im gonna call the race ok i havent decided yet
devout bridge
humans u done did it, congrats
tawny condor
so anyway yeah they're uh, on this planet called archipelago which is like earth if the moon had actually blown earth to pieces instead of just kinda smooshing part of it
and its held together by a core made of some rly dense metal that'll sound super sciency when i actually bother to find out what kind of metal that is
but loosely bc magnets
magnetic field
anyway
humans were created!
and boy did they have magic
a lot of magic
so much fucking magic
but like they didnt rly have ways of accessing it in a normal way
like spellcasting or w/e
thas not what happened
instead, whenever there was a large outpouring of emotion, like idk say fear of the dimensional rifts that kept just showing up around their planet bc of all this magic stuff floatin in the air or whatever (havent exactly decided on how it gets there yet????) they make a god
so thats where the new gods come in
and the old gods are like 'umm,,,,,,,,this is not ok????? like no,,,stop'
tawny condor
but asmodeus was chill with the whole thing (bc thats more or less how they were made) like they were just like 'this is fine' and bc of that they got chopped up into a buncha little pieces by those they trusted the most nd spread across the known universe
tawny condor
and then all traces of their presence were stricken from the records of every database ever, including the library (dimension filled with lots of knowledge, run by the Librarian and his hive mind assistant, Booker)
whos head is actually a book btw
thought it was a novel idea
heads
devout bridge
🥁 🥁 tss
tawny condor
lmao there are a bunch of bookers but they're connected
devout bridge
thats adorable omg
idk if thats the word you want for them but book hivemind sounds so cute
tawny condor
i mean thats basically what they are???? and like if u want spoilers for the actual story i can dm u but i dont wanna spoil anything in public, uh, anyway
so asmodeus is fucking gone
meaning the other gods can just
do what they will with the humans
i mean they cant destroy them bc energy cannot be destroyed, but they figured out a way to contain their magic
they just kinda showed up on earth to a bunch of the ruling families at the time and were like "hey do u want MAGIC POWERS!?!??!?!!??!" and the unwitting humans were just like "FUCK YEAH WE DO" and uhhhhh that's how the houses were formed
took a while tho, like in total the gods needed to do six bc idk six is the magic number in this universe or something, but each spell took a lot of effort nd crafting n stuff so in human time the houses were formed abt 100 yrs apart from each other

ooh
this sounds way cooler than mine lmao mine is like...glorified eldritch turf war

House of Crows is was first tho so sometimes it's referred to as "The First House" and its the only one with any actual authority over the others (cept masks, masks have always been rouge and nobody knows exactly when they were formed they just know this one guy with the power to change his face into anybody showed up one day and the rest of the houses were like 'is this a coup' and the masks were like 'nah, not feelin it atm')
omg no that sounds amazing
devout bridge
ngl though if some big gods came down and asked if i wanted magic powers i would also 100% say yes
devout bridge
omg

One of the hardest things for me to decide
That and hairs
I want his scarf though
lone mountain
the biggest problem is that i already have a character whos outfit is similar
so the original idea i had planned cant be done
OTL
thin dagger
idk if this would help but theres this website with a bunch of costumes and outfits?
and it's categorized by time or style i think
lone mountain
bless u
they dont have modern stuff but i have a handful victorian and medieval characters that this will definitely come in handy
tysm
thin dagger
oh good! im glad itll help in some way
devout bridge
i usually look up ootd posts if i need something modern! pin or insta is usually good for it 👌🏽

unrelated, but drawing clown ruffles is stupid difficult when u wanna keep lines smooth???
whats up with that??? i hate it
lone mountain
i find ruffles to be fun
i used to draw a lot of french maids
mainly for that reason
id just shitpost it and the ruffles would be gucci
time to research northern japan because i get too technical where i have to make sure it even gets cold enopugh for my outfit choice to even be valid
oh wow i didnt actually realize how close the russian border was to japan
interesting
thin dagger
i overresearch things bc im a big perfectionist and everything has to make sense even if it's not that emphasized
lone mountain
finally someone who gets me LOL
devout bridge
nah i understand that im just mad about clown ruffles specifically
i hate it but only cause i cant draw it pretty™
devout bridge
👀 does anyone have any clown/mushroom/pierrot pun name suggestions? so far all i have is phroso as a ref to a movie, but im down for other ideas

are you looking to have one name or two
devout bridge
like a title..? or like first & sur? cause im open to p much anything

haughty tendon
so i was going to save my progress for a drawing i spent 2 hrs on, but medibang crashed before i could save it........
void flare
oh no D :
haughty tendon
im actually going to die because it didnt autosave for some reason
void flare
ah I mean like a first and surname
devout bridge
Oh nooo
And first and Sur is cool! I didn't really think of that for them but I'm really not opposed to it
👀 💦 my clowns just tend to have clown names lmao
void flare
hm
clown names are a bit tougher for me, but copri is the shortened genus of the ink caps
lone mountain
oh my god callie thats awful :(
my first laptop had a defective battery so itd shut off if it was unplugged even for a second
my brother loved to pull the charger out when he got upset at me
and he did while i was once drawing
it was awful
maybe theres a program that will auto screenshot wat ur doing every so often
devout bridge
Copri is cute :0
lone mountain
so at the least you could trace wat u had??
devout bridge
Oof
lone mountain
i know sometimes ill copy and paste images here from my canvas
then exist without saving
so luckily i can find them here to retrieve them somewhat
haughty tendon
its so painful to trace everything back
lone mountain
yeah
lone mountain
iirc theres plugins to add auto save things too
i never tried them tho
fuck lineart
haughty tendon
medibang actually autosaves but idk why its not showing the drawing
like, i cant find it anywhere
lone mountain
i find the built in auto saves only work like 25% of the time tho
sone programs have where u open files
a part called
recent files?
lone mountain
my autosaves pmuch never work
i tried conditioning myself to press ctrl+s every few seconds
i kinda grew out of it already tho sadly
i find ill usually save a file as a png on accident
so i lose all my transparency edittimg and coloring
aaaa
the luminesce to transparency option in sai tho has saved my butt too many times
thin dagger
hmmmmm i dont think so :0

How to draw Orihara Izaya: Draw someone with angry eyebrows and unhappy eyes with a pose that might be relaxed
Then add a smug-ass smile, so if anyone covers the smile they go 'yes, this is an unhappy trash-child'
brittle ermine
It’s really good (:
echo mesa
thanks ^~^
echo mesa
;D
I saw a post on tumblr about how if you cover his mouth, he never looks happy?

For my drawing workshop tomorrow I'm showing an old art of mine, having the crowd point out what they think needs improvement, going over the actual list, then showing how you can practice drawing different elements individually to improve for the next time you attempt to draw something similar
weary current
this is the old piece
this is my practice sketch page example
the major points were:
pose flow (it's stiff)
hair
proportions
eyes
ears
mouth
haughty tendon
so this happened

HONESTLY
the art gods possessed me i swear
like while i was making it i 100% craved death but now that it's made
hard lynx
craving death is the big mood for all artists
hot river
That looks cool!
tawny condor
but like then u get to look back nd be like I MADE THAT HOLY FUCK
and then with other pieces ur like
ew i cant believe i did this garbage
like i mean dont get me wrong i too am a self depreciating artistic piece of human trash but like, im super duper proud of this piece
is better dark tho right?
tawny condor
this is the original for comparison
hot river
Yeah, I like the darker one more. Both look neat though
tawny condor
and like i like the rocks nd all but they shouldnt pop as much and also i gotta justify the shadows
elfin swan
I like the lighter rocks, giving off the lighted feel
tawny condor
im keein both actually bc i can't decide, but with how im planning on shading the person in this im prolly gonna wind up goin with the darker
thin dagger
i like the darker one but if you still want that lighted feel you can try adding highlights on the edges where the lava meets the rocks?
