:D I suddenly felt compelled to redraw the panel. Miss Touden you are my muse
Lineart + original panel under the cut
I mean, look at the improvement from one drawing to the other, Ryoko Kui’s art makes me think hard about anatomy + physics and it feels really good to draw :3
Greetings people, it’s been literally an entire year since I posted here but ignore that. Here’s my present for this years @valensemblestars Valentines exchange, which is for @zenyuumi who requested kohiiai shenanigans! I decided to go with the social media idea because I thought it would be the most fun, so I hope you enjoy it :)
Here’s the digitalised version
And here’s the sketch I did as a base for it
I’m aware the prompt was specifically wanting to show the fans’ reaction but I hope you’re fine with it as is anyway because I tried my best! Also, MAJOR apologies about this being so late, I really need to stop underestimating how much time things take me in comparison to a normal speed artist. It took two hours just to outline it, and that was BEFORE I decided I wanted it to be colour coordinated. I definitely spent at least a whole days worth of hours on this and it’s significantly less than what most people would’ve done in that same time, but we got there eventually and that’s what matters! Yippee!
(P.s once again quick note for the organisers, hello it’s Shipsarebeautiful on my sideblog, do not be alarmed)
I lowkey wish we'd got a 'days past' chapter that focused on the original lightwood siblings: gideon, gabriel, and tatiana. It didn't have to be anything groundbreaking!! I just really would have appreciated seeing what they were like before barbara's death, then benedict's death, and finally jesse's death. And it could have added a lot more to the story, imo. Also more tid/tlh lightwood content, which is always a plus.
yeah! especially with Tatiana being such a major antagonist like her past & motivations are driving factors of the book. there's a heavy focus on Rupert's death but the issues ran deeper than that & I think we see more of it in sobh (idk I haven't actually... read it yet 🙈) but imo there should have been more in the series itself
like their childhood is very fascinating & we know so little about it! it would have been nice to see how the issues between the siblings began before they got really bad & just how Benedict's parenting effected them all in different & often contradictory ways! and also how that legacy trickled down to the next generation (because it's so baffling that it??? didn't???)
& yeah who wouldn't want more tid/tlh lightwood content??
being the eldest daughter is HARD, man. i'm currently trying to organise the making of one (1) family calendar as a christmas present. from a different country. one of my brothers has been diligently reading my texts for the past week. one of them only texted back today, contributing an idea and then fucking off. one of them hasn't checked the groupchat in a week.
i never bothered with the like blocking new followers stuff (unless it was a bot or they were like some kind of reactionary) or locking a post if it gets too many notes cause i didnt really care if ppl followed me/reblogged my posts/etc but bro i have literally had one post blow up every day for the past 2? 3? days and have had several posts get upwards of 10k notes the past 2–3 months this is insane. i am so glad that tumblr fame means absolutely nothing though like even the most tumblr famous ppl would never like be paid to promote a brand or whatever. absolutely would never want to be an Influencer or whatever it is they're calling it these days. iam just vibing here
Why is it when I have a big task to complete that should take days to do, I procrastinate the hell out of it when I have plenty of time but when it comes down to the absolute last minute, I can do a couple of days work in a couple of hours? What the fuck is wrong with me? Why couldn't I do it casually over a couple of days but can do it in matter of hours?
I accidentally got involved in the organisation of an arts and crafts market but I think no one is gonna show up other than like, my parents, which will be so funny and I had fun sending maybe 3 emails as my task <3
I don’t know who needs to hear this right now but it’s okay to struggle. You don’t have to have your “life under control” right now. No matter your age and if it seems like everyone else is doing oh so well (believe me, there’s others who struggle as well!), it’s okay to still figure things out and feel like a complete mess. You still have time to grow as a person and find out what works for you and how you want to live your life. Be forgiving with yourself, I know it’s hard but you deserve rest and compassion from yourself!
I know i already sent a happy birthday message but I felt like I NEEDED to draw this lolol. Even though it's simple I hope you like it haha <3
