Addendum about my previous Post about 2023:

I've been trying to get my head back on track, but it's kind of exhausting. I haven't had a pen in my hand for months.

Here are a few sketches and incomplete drawings from 2023.

[Funfact: in the ger dub Shanks and Chopper share the same VA]

[These two are actually part of a bigger project that I am currently working on finishing.]

[Omega Piece Stuff - I actually posted the second one on my twitter]

[I started a DTIYS by yamiyamiart on twitter]

2023 was really... not a great year. In addition to stress and problems at work, anger and death in the family and financial difficulties, I'm at a low point mentally and it takes a lot of strength to somehow manage everyday life.

I don't believe in making resolutions for the new year, but I hope that 2024 will be better year.

Ahh so EXCITED to finally be able to talk about this one!!

My cover for IDW Sonic 59 (releasing 3/29) 🦔

Can't thank David Mariotte and Riley Farmer enough for letting me take a shot at making a traditionally painted cover

I told the IDW team that I always wanted to do a mock Renaissance painting for a cover someday, and this issue inspired me to go for it. I took lots of inspiration from classic paintings, and also specifically from "The Fallen Angel" by Alexandre Cabanel for Shadow himself.

I did the thumbnails and pencils digitally (easier for notes) and then used a mini projector to project the image onto a canvas, and transfer the pencils before painting the rest of it with acrylics.

I took lots of videos of the actual painting process, so I'll have to put those together sometime soon.

I hope you all enjoy! 💕

🌹November 20th - 26th 🌹use #lawsanweek2023 to show your work 🌹Guidelines can be found -here-

🌹Wait, so is the dinner the prompt?🌹 Kind of. We wanted to try something new & keep it lax with only 3 "prompts" this time around. You can create whatever you want or use the dinner-theme as a guideline! Of course you can also create more than 3 works.

Just streamer Law and his cute bf friend of course friend... no way yes...

So... what now?

If you ask someone what "bonding" actually means, they will usually just tell you, "it's when an alpha bites an omega." This is true in principle, but the other person will still not know what "bonding" actually means or what happens. That is why it is interesting to have a look at the anatomy behind it. Oh, and to clear up a few clichés right away: No, bonding does not mean that an omega now completely belongs to an alpha and has to do everything he wants. This is a misconception that many have already fallen for and a reason why bonding has such a bad reputation among the Omegas.

All right, let's get started:

First of all, it should be said that the "ritual" does not require any special preparations. For some reason, it has become a misconception that the omega has to be in heat for this process, but that is not the case. It is probably because, during this time, you can easily lose control and do things without thinking. (This danger exists, especially with young Alphas who are experiencing an omega in heat for the first time. It is therefore incredibly important to keep young Alphas and Omegas separated during a heat). But let's not dwell on that too long. Let's stay with the Omega: An indispensable part of the bonding is the scent glad on the neck of the omega. It's a clearly visible skin elevation about the diameter of a ping-pong ball. Depending on the state of health or the heat cycle, the appearance of this bulge can vary. The bulge is also caused by the pheromone deposit, which is located under the skin layers, in the area of the fat layer. It is also responsible for the individual scent of an omega.

Inside the bladder there is a great negative pressure, but it does not feel painful for the omega. Only when great force hits it, it can become uncomfortable. The bladder is also connected to the blood circulation. However, since the openings are normally very narrowed, nothing can actually exit or enter.

The counterpart to this are the fangs of the alpha. In the canines, there is a small cavity in the inner part, which leads up into the jaw like a tube system. This can also be called as a kind of "tunnel". It's also is a pheromone layer there, but with much more highly concentrated pheromones than in the scent glad of the Omega. The cavity itself is closed by a caries-like formation, so that the tooth cannot be attacked from the inside. Nevertheless, alphas are advised to pay special attention to their dental care.

Now let's move on to the bonding process:

An alpha penetrates the scent glad of the omega by biting. The pheromone liquid acts like a kind of solvent on the filler in the alpha's tooth. This exposes the passage and the pheromones of the alpha can mix with the omega ones. The resulting mixture becomes a new pheromone, which the alpha and omega will now share. At the same time, a chemical reaction occurs, which causes the negative pressure in the bubble to become too high. The accesses will widen, so that the new liquid can escape from the bladder and will slide into the bloodstream of the omega. At the same time, some of the pheromone fluid is also shot back through the tooth into the alpha, where it is also absorbed through the arteries into the bloodstream. The bonding is now complete and both alpha and omega now share the same pheromone allowing them to be identified as mates. The former pheromone deposits close within 2 - 3 days and the tunnel in the tooth is sealed again after about a week. Omega and Alpha are never able to perform this ritual again. It is a misconception that only the omega is bound to the other forever. Also an Alpha can never again "bond" with another Omega.

However, bonding should really be considered carefully. You can theoretically get together with a new partner - if there are problems in the bonding relationship - but this is not advisable in any case. It is not that you die if you are separated from your partner for too long (I don't know who came up with that), but there are enough other things that cannot be fulfilled by other Omegas or Alphas anymore. The omega for example is no longer influenced by the pheromones of others. This in turn means that, for example during an extremely stressful heat, the omega can only be calmed by his partner. Of course, the same goes for the Alpha. Only his chosen omega is able to calm or influence him.

That is why another word for bonding is "soul pact", because it is assumed that only true soul mates dare to take the risk of bonding.

That's basically it, but there's one more thing I'd like to talk about:

- The new pheromone that the two now share is actually a mixture of equal parts of alphas and omegas. However, studies have now proven that the alpha pheromone is more present in terms of smell. Some Omegas have even been mistaken for an Alpha after bonding, just because the Alpha's pheromone was so strong.

Sanji and Law are the prime example. Since Sanji has only very weak pheromones, Law's phermon clearly dominates this ritual. So you could say that Law's scent has hardly changed, but Sanji is no longer considered a beta, but an alpha.

That should be it. I hope that now more people understand what bonding actually means and that it is in no way only to the disadvantage of the Omega.

Thanks a lot for listening and if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Oh and if you have any suggestions or wishes for further lessons, please let me know!

Not the piece I'm most proud of, but I think my blog really needs some lawsan stuff again.

People: *Complaining about desktop Buggy*

Me:

if found, return to his captain.

I really feel like doing something on Omega Piece again.

I prefer the old version (artstyle) but it was fun to use the pictures again for practice.

Currently I'm working on doing just two sketches for a pic to get faster and to improve my artstyle. I'm also trying to draw sketches more loosely so that the poses look more lively. But this way my pics don't look like my other ones. I don't think that's a bad thing in principle, but there are some things I'd like to keep from my "usually" drawing style.

Guess it's time to introduce my two "main" ocs.

These are just some very rough and honestly old sketches, but I kinda like them.

Actually, Nayaco is shorter than Kayter. I just suck at scaling.

I'm so in love with the netflix!Buggy, it's not even funny anymore.
