19. any pronouns. i guess i'm a tadc blog? i was originally here to talk to nothing and reblog stuff but i guess i draw now too... nervous cat handle with care
okay so it's been a bit... sorry about that??? ^-^; here's a quick doodle dump to make up for it with a brief (for me) explanation of where i've been at the end <3
some things that were meant as ask responses but i never felt like posting
scattered bits from a lore headcanon comic i have no plans of finishing... set when jax first joined and ragatha was still new, before shit happens (queenie abstracts) and things got worse for them...
idk i like thinking about the possibilities and i like it when characters start out hopeful and get it beaten out of them so i'm giving jax and ragatha that treatment in my head :)
here's the "behind the scenes" stuff i mentioned in the second of my raggedy ann tadc crossover posts
and here's me giving pomni varying levels of a hard time
old aggie board stuff
one of my first ragatha and pomni drawings on the left (nov 2023) and a lil redraw on the right.... (mar 2024) pls... don't mind my old ragatha design i didn't know what i was doing
and for those who like my sona, doodles inspired by the mafia roleplay/au(?) that's been around... not actually part of it, but i was part of a mafia roleplay myself back in 2020 so idk, consider it an acknowledgement of my roots :D
OKAY so where i've been... well at first it was a normal break, but then i figured i'd extend it until finals were over so i wouldn't get distracted! probably should've given some warning but ehhh i got busy fast and getting to go off grid for a bit was relaxing :)
anyway i'm all done so i'm back more or less??? still fatigued from studying for weeks straight so idk when i'll pick up the pen again but that'll be soon i hope...
and bc i drafted this before it was posted YES i've seen the episode 2 trailer!!! very cool i'm very excited!! gonna try and get ep 2 hype art out before it drops!! :D
ouch youch ouch ow ow ouch ough jeepers ouch ouch eep ouch ouch ouch ouch owie ow ouch ouch youch ouch ough good golly ow ow owie ouch ouch youch ouch. my god ! i have been boope ! how will i recover
ooh wait do you have a tutorial on how you draw ragatha? i struggle so much with her hair its unreal
@lyradraws
alright, so i feel i'm a bit less qualified for this one but yknow what, it's good practice and good reference for me as well so i gave it a go!! :D
here is my unofficial guide to our darling ragatha <3
MAIN SHAPES:
CHARACTER ACTING:
HAIR:
MISC:
note sure what exactly was meant by comparison to pomni but hopefully this + the shape comparison at the beginning can help?
if you haven't seen it already, or you just want to revisit them, here are my pomni studies!!
and also, an important note for IF i do any more of these: do NOT expect this level of detail for the other characters!! pomni and ragatha are my favorites so they get special treatment... if i do the rest it'll probably just be a couple slides of pointers but eh, who knows with me... (shrug)
umm a comic concept that i'm not sure if i'll ever get into
midway through an adventure , ragatha and zooble gets trapped in a fashion contest to where they get heavily criticized by both the judge and the audience . i sure do hope the chronic people pleaser and horrible identity crisis take this well
In your opinion would you say it takes more or less time to make art on a tablet or on paper?
well... for me it takes a little more time to make art with my tablet, because i don't use one with a screen, and i don't use stabilizers... i have to draw my lines in one quick go to keep them smooth, but even with years of practice, hand-eye coordination is still tricky! lots of re-doing lines because i overshot or undershot, etc.... ^-^;
(real-time example)
i definitely prefer doing art digitally if i plan to finish it or post it (my process is... a little all over the place lol and it gets messy on paper, not a good look) but being able to work more quickly with pencil and paper is something i make use of for art studies, concept development, and other practice stuff!
so yeah, paper for quick, low-pressure stuff , and digital for more time-consuming, polished stuff! they've both got their place i think...
