#ALSO YOUR ARTSTYLE IS SO COOL | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Hi. First, I wanted to let you know that you're a huge inspiration to me :)

Second, as a fellow fanartist I wanted to ask: how do you get over the fear of people perceiving your artwork as too unfinished (if you have that fear at all?) How do you tell yourself "okay stop. This is as much as I'm gonna work on this page" and then hit the post button? I have this thing where I start a piece and then never post it cause "it's not completed yet".

Thank you in advance!

Ah thank you:3

Honestly, I just prefer speed over finality. My goal is not to create perfectly beautiful art. My goal is to tell a story. To convey information. To convert my train of thought into something that can be perceived with the eyes.

I can do smooth linework, detailed renderings, correct anatomy and all that. But I don't really need that, as the sketch is enough to convey the story. And it's very quick too~

For me, an artwork is considered complete when it says everything I want to say through it. And sometimes that means making the hands look like two blotches. Simply because for my story, the hands aren't important at that point. I'll draw them well in the moment when I want to tell something through them:)

So, usually I just make sure that the most important elements look clear. The facial expressions, the curves of the cape, the position of the hands, whatever. The things I really want people to see and process. Everything else serves solely as a backdrop.

If people think my work is unfinished, that's their problem. I don't have to adjust to their understanding of "completeness." If they want to see my work "finished" according to their value system, they can finish it themselves and then happily look at its perfection lmao

________

Just as a funny addition and proof of my words.

Important Hands:

Not important hands:

And still, for me, they are all - finished:)

#You #Y O U #I know you!>:D #the moment I saw the drifter in your pfp #I read all your hld comics #I am absolutely fascinated by your artstyle #I love how full of life your art is #The world living around the characters #so cool #I also adore the way you draw the Guardian

A couple of months ago, I showcased what Mega Man would look like in the toony artstyle of Pizza Tower, though since then I've wondered something... what would Peppino Spaghetti look like had he been drawn by Mega Man illustrators Keiji Inafune and Ryuji Higurashi?

The answer is a little something like this! 🍕✨

#Star's Art #Pizza Tower #Peppino Spaghetti #Mega Man #Rockman #Coolness #PPN-001: ITALIAN MAN WILL BE REAL IN ZERO SECONDS #Given that I've been on a Mega Man kick lately I REALLY wanted to draw something in the Classic style again #Though this time I wanted to do something particularly challenging... drawing a HUMAN in the style #For those who don't know there are very few humans in the Mega Man franchise drawn in Inafune's style #So references to use for drawing the such are in incredibly short supply #Though a handful of references wouldn't deter me from giving such a challenge a shot...#... and who better to depict in one of my favorite artstyles than your local anxiety-ridden pizzeria owner?#I felt like it was only right to draw a Mega Man-styled Peppino after drawing a Pizza Tower-styled Mega Man #And for my first foray into drawing Classic styled humans... I think I did a fine job!#I think what took me the longest to draw was stylizing Peppino's head to look... for lack of a better term... normal?#What I ended up with was not only something that'd look feasible in the Mega Man continuity...#... but also something that stays true to Peppino's design too!#I've been thinking about drawing myself in the style too #If I can nail drawing somebody like Peppino Spaghetti in this style then it is ABSOLUTELY within my skillset!💙✨

More art based off @twothpaste’s intermission au, this time Hunker Down, Hearken Back flavoured because I want what they have so bad and I love them so much. They heal the deep ache in my heart that was created by mother 3

#i have so much to say about this that I’m probably going to reach tag limit I just. i have so many thoughts please #this time featuring lineart because I found this cool brush and kind of ended up emulating your artstyle a bit because.#i just love how your art looks so much #this drawing also took forever and drawing 6 (technically 7) different characters is exhausting but it was so worth it #i just care about them so deeply. something about claus being wrapped in a big cuddle pile with all the people that love and appreciate him #and allow them to be themself. feeling so loved and safe. i could sob. words cannot express how much I care about all of them.#and how much I want claus to be loved and appreciated and respected. porky minch could never #h #i read this in the fic and the vision of the cuddle pile hit me so strongly I couldn’t not draw them #i really hope I’m not coming across as weird I just. man.#mother 3 #mother series #earthbound #my art #intermission au #Hunker Down Hearken Back #twothpaste #mother 2 #college au #intermission #kicks and screams abd shouts and cries #been showing all of your work to all my friends. forcing them to perceive it. we all quote stuff from it all the time now #*shut the fuck up*.. *please shut the fuck up* ‘thats great claus’#being one of the most common ones #thank you for them. i love them #i could say more but I’m already so close to the tag limit I can sense it #i’m so sorry

new blorbos acquired cower in fear

anyways update im going insane over lego monkie kid i thought it would be a fun time but i did not expect some of the rawest scenes ever from a lego show selling you $100+ sets

this show deserves the world please watch it

#warning like 20+ tags here that i do want to move #sucks that actually watching the show legally is a pain with the limitied and random options there are #if your wondering it's basically a journey to the west next gen sequel and the way they build on the world is pretty neeto #but it seems to check out for most people so yeah #but bro legged-os show needs support #like i watched it because the artstyle and animation was really good and i knew the basic plot of book well enough #somehow the animation is better than i expected and contantly really good and nice to look at even in the chill eps #but then i also ended up really liking all the characters and would honestly enjoy a character focused ep on all of them #like its rare for me to hate a character #but the fact that i really love all of the main cast and a lot of the supporting is pretty rare #the way they mirror the prev squad in the og book is pretty interesting since its like on two sides of the chara development spectrum #and i would be fine if it was exclusively slice of life stuff but the plot also ended up being really good #like the s3 finale specials are so good and climactic with a banger of a villain and some of the coolest moments of the show #and somehow s4 seems to be building to something that might even surpass it in some areas #the emotional moments especially later on hit hard too #like there are way too many times where this show hits so hard and can be so raw with like one line or one scene #like that one s3 ep where they reverse exorcise a nuke into someone and they have a big 'reasons you suck' speech with cool visuals? banger #the s3 finale is all around cool but that final convo with the antagonist is so striking that s4 quotes it multiple times #s4e7 aka ''i am the shadow the true self'' my beloved it has everything #cool fight scenes great emotional character moments that stick in your mind and a soundtrack that wrap it all in a bow #even some smaller episodes like one where they normal exorsise a gramdpa has really nice moments that cover stuff like grief and moving on #because every child(?) protagonist in a kids show is destined by fate to become insanely traumatized by the end of the show #yes these examples are more recent but thats because recency bias and the Cerberus syndrome it gets later down the line #thats a whole tag essay to say that this show is so good and deserves as many seasons as it needs #i would buy a set but every modern lego set that i want is over $100 and i cant do that #i could ramlble about it so so much more but thats the gist of it go watch it #alttalks

I love your artstyle and the way you draw the bishops and other followers! What inspired you to go with your current artstyle? And how hard was it to figure it out?

Also what was your first impression of every bishop when you met them? How did you get into cult of the lamb?

Sorry if it's a lot of questions! I just love seeing your illustrations every time you post! Your comics and character interactions are really cool and interesting and I just want you to know that! Keep up the good work :]!!!

Awww thank you so much for sticking around through the cotl brain rot! It's only getting worse help me

Honestly no clue cause it started like this pfff lots of trial and error as with everything i guess

I first knew of cotl from the animations! and learning more about it during its development made me fall in love with the concept. When it finally came out i was so happy that it was as good as i was hoping n.n

what if I made a thing or it already was that while Airplane wrote the world, Peerless Cucumber illustrated it (only the animals. And Binghe, fighting the animals.) And then then then

He'd totally do it on an alt account, right?? Peerless Cucumber can't be seen making fanart!! (And he's good at it. Like, wiki is using his art in the monsters and beasts pages (that Peerless Cucumber volleyed for. He also separated it from the plant section.) Because 1 its good 2 the artstyle is consistent 3 there isn't a lot of monster official art, other than that one with the black moon rhinoceros python and those other ones and 4 it's really that good)

Haha incomprehensible parenthesis nesting aside, Airplane is watching the forums, right? Not sure about other stuff in canon but he looks at the forums and the fanart and the fiction and most of it is probably corn and binghe and just a little bit of mobei-jun and also the wives tm but!! There's also that guy!!! The monsters guy!! (People would probably suspect 'Drawing the Beast's Ire'- or some other sex euphemism I'm not good at making those- of being Peerless Cucumber because 1 the writing style is the same 2 Peerless Cucumber is the number 1 contributor to the PIDW wiki and a lot of it is the monsters and beasts section and it makes sense, yes??) Anyway, Airplane shooting towards the sky suspects but not too seriously suspects Mr ire of being cucumber's fanart alt but uh uh that ends pre-transmigration section

So, Shen Yuan starts running about, right? Things seem really... familiar, maybe thats the word?- for some reason. This is because every animal and plant he's ever drawn, sketched- maybe even thought about but that's a stretch?- is his design. The firefly parallels hold their forelimbs like butterflies. That is how far down it goes. Maybe it doesn't come up until later, but beasts and monsters from fanfiction get involved, oc species, too... anyway,

Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky transmigrates 30 years (iirc) before Peerless Cucumber. He was an avid enough follower of Drawing the Beast's Ire to recognize that these are their designs! Here's where it gets really crazy. Xiao-Mobei comes along, and while he's still pretty young, Airplane can tell that this is Drawing Ire's design! Some aspect, maybe his ears or teeth, (this isn't a well built theoretical tangent) of Mobei isnt canon. Its Drawing Ire's. From that one Northern Kingdom collection. Whatever stretched his world building into coherence, completion, didn't just pull from fanwork, official art, whatever it could find, it went for Drawing the Beast's Ire's designs specifically. Damn that's crazy Airplane ahahaha moving on,

This is getting really long so I'll be a bit more concise, (want to know more? Talk to me. Please talk to me. I want to interact with the fandom. Ask me questions. Poke your fingers into my cage.) This all comes to head at the Immortal alliance conference. The monsters and beasts really start pouring in! And Shen Qingqiu/Yuan remembers his creations. However, he assumes that this is because like 1 other person maybe was Drawing ghost head spiders.

Hey, Peerless Cucumber really liked the monsters, right? The deadlier, crazier, more intricate, the design the better! So maybe, when he was drawing, he... added some things, really believable, logical additions, really just small creative decisions...

Anyway, the monsters that Drawing the Beast's Ire made were where it came to a head.

Lets have another Canon divergence. Maybe, during or after Binghe gets pushed in, out of the rifts comes a species that Drawing Ire created. It's beautiful, poisonous, beloved, and really quite deadly. Shen Yuan/Qingqiu, Peerless Cucumber, Drawing the Beast's Ire... realizes, quite like airplane before him, that he's illustrated, practically sculpted with his own hands, monsters from the Endless Abyss with claws and teeth and poisons as deadly as Peerless Cucumber thought that the really cool monsters could deserve. It feels like he's the one cutting, biting, poisoning his sweet little sheep. It feels like he's digging out the marrow from his little white lotus disciple's bones.

Ok it is shut up time 👍

Creator Spotlight: @velinxi

Hello! I’m Xiao Tong Kong, better known as “Velinxi.” I’m the creator of the webcomic Countdown to Countdown and have been doing freelance artwork since I was a teenager. I love telling stories with my illustrations! Tumblr was where I first got my start as an artist, specifically a small fandom artist as a hobby… and now I’m somehow here! When I’m not trying my best to stay awake in front of my tablets, I’m usually cooking, gaming, or sleeping. Sometimes all three, in my dreams.

Check out our interview with Velinxi below!

Did you originally have a background in art? If not, how did you start?

Yeah! I’ve basically been on track to become an artist since I was a child. I went to a middle school with an emphasis on arts and a high school specializing in it. I went to SVA briefly for computer arts but dropped out to pursue freelance and webcomics after my first year.

Over the years as an artist, what or who were your biggest inspirations behind your creativity?

My biggest inspirations growing up were Yuumei and Shilin Huang, two titans on DeviantArt back in the day. They still inspire me today, but the list of inspirations has grown exponentially over the years, including artists, movies, entire art movements, etc.

What was your thought process behind the creation of your webcomic, Countdown to Countdown?

Well, Countdown to Countdown started as a passion project back when I was 15, in high school, and pretty depressed. I just wanted to draw whatever story I thought was cool, inspired by my favorite media at the time. There was a very loose beginning and outline, but I was truly just writing as I drew the story. That’s why I had to stop the comic in 2018 and restart from scratch the year after. Now, the story has a set story and a clear outline. It still has similar roots, characters, and themes of neglect, abuse, and escape—but I think the story is a lot easier to follow now. It’s got an artstyle I can actually keep up with in the long run. The origin of why CTC exists also remains the same: I simply wanted to make a story I wanted to read for myself. Which happens to be about two dumb boys with superpowers navigating a hostile world that wants them dead or caged—together.

Have you ever had an art block? If so, how did you overcome it?

Oh, all the time. It’s part of the process. Personally, though—I just have to draw through it. Every month on my Patreon, I have my patrons vote on a theme I have to draw by the end of the month, and I try my best to make it as interesting as possible. I draw quite a few—tens even, of doodles or compositions for each of these themes to try to make something that tells a story while still being aesthetically pleasing and clear. I think pushing myself like this helps with art block, really. I also do remember to take breaks and simply consume other media I like! It gets the inspiration juices flowing.

Advice you would give to an aspiring creator?

If you do one—your first webcomic should be a short, fun, messy thing. It’s not often you can get it right the first time, but you’ll certainly learn a lot through sheer experience. This goes for a lot of things in art, to be honest.

What is a medium that you have always been intrigued by but would never use yourself?

3D Animation. I briefly learned it at SVA, and I think that’s enough of that tech for me. I accept that there are some things that are truly beautiful if done right, and I am too simple and lazy for it.

What is your goal for the rest of this year?

Get Countdown to Countdown book 2 finished! And live HAHA

Who on Tumblr inspires you and why?

@yuumei-art on Tumblr, still! They’ve been a huge inspiration for digital artists and storytellers online for years. I have no doubt that many digital artists of my generation have been influenced by them, and they’re still here, making beautiful art and stories. It’s a thing to behold.

Thanks for stopping by, Velinxi! If you haven’t seen her Meet the Artist piece, be sure to check it out here. You can also follow her for more amazing art over at her Tumblr, @velinxi!

Made a traditional artwork of Maxine Caulfield, better known as Max as played by Hannah Telle in Life Is Strange using Graphite and Colored Pencils in the span of 31hrs! :)

Finally after exactly a month of working on this, I present to you my first ever colored traditional artwork & with it, so begins a new era of portraits by yours truly!!

The butterflies were originally going to be colored in digitally as I wanted to keep & portray the significance of their color but my parents ended up surprising me with the colored pencils & you can see the rest!

I love how the artwork has turned out, not to toot my own horn or anything but I am sooooo happy & proud of the coloring, the butterflies aren't very detailed cause my goal rn was to understand the pencils & get a feel for them. I love how Max has turned out, I'm very happy how the artstyle looks like a more realistic version of the game's style & her eyes have to be the best I've drawn, the way they look so glassy & the way I've drawn her eye makeup! I also love the composite of this, the way Max is "frozen" in black & white whilst the colored butterflies surround her & moving whilst it all looks like a photograph, it's just *chef's kiss*!!!

Oh, & this is my first time drawing a landscape traditionally, which was very cool!

OK heres zeno coloring tutorial 2.0 !!!! i'm gonna do it kind of in chapters i guess?

chapter 1: choosing base colors

when i'm choosing base colors i always pick everything based on a specific off-white! my 'default' off-white is this kind of very light cyan color but i change it regularly based on character designs/environment/lighting whatever,, examples here!

for callie in this piece, i based everything off of this pinkish color! her skin tone, tentacles, outfit etc are all chosen to harmonise/contrast with the pink color

and with this piece, i used a slightly darker blueish color as they're in space but there's still a lot of light... and the lighter colors in the background (the explosion) make a sense of depth i guess? i used that blue color and chose similar cool colors to harmonise with it!

so i more or less base the tone of the colors in the piece off the off-white! warm off-white = warmer colors (like the nova valentine's day art) and cold off white = cooler colors (like the explosion nova and paro art). but i switch up this formula often !!

chapter 2: coloring specific things

here i'll go over some specific textures and stuff like skin and hair ... skin first !!

for skin, i like to use a variety of tones! there are different ways to draw cooler and warmer skintones that other people have gone over way better than i have but basically for skin i use this part of the color wheel and pick the darker tones of oranges/reds/pinks etc. (for darker skintones, i go to the middle of the color square thingy, and for lighter tones, i usually slide down the upper-right side)

when it comes to shading skintones, it's pretty straightforward, just a darkish-purple and a pinkish color on 100% multiply, and i always add a little shadow on the nose and blush becuz i think it's cute

(also i like to add reflective spots on darker skin tones sometimes because 1. darker skin tones reflect in real life and 2. it's fun)

next up is hair... this is very specific to my artstyle but i like to add 3-6 long oval line thingies to the hair to mimic reflection ! it looks cool, it's a good way to show off different colors in the design and i like to switch it up sometimes based on a character's personality!! (like how the frye pic above has a lighting bolt shaped hair thing, or how my teto design has a wing shaped hair thing to mimic her wings in her chimera form!) (note: it doesn't always need to be lighter than the actually hair color and it usually isn't)

for other materials like metal, screens, etc etc... i just add random X marks lol... and reflections!!!

(also, just a general thing, but adding little saturated lines to shading really adds depth and color imo!!)

i would put more tips with refs but tumbles only allows 10 images per post ;w; so i will simply close off by saying don't be afraid to add overlays and filters to your art!! overlays can really help harmonise colors and filters like brightness and contrast can help colors pop... try not to completely rely on them for color choice tho!!

and that's basically it !!! this is not a definitive 'how to draw/color' post... i am not a color theorist... i just wanted to show people how i choose colors cuz a lot of people say they like my color choices! honestly i don't know much myself but i hope that this and the philosophy of 'do what looks good' will help you all o_ob thank you and goodbye

#long post #ah its so freeing to have zero character limit on this site #i did want to add more pics tho 😭#i would make a part two but i dont have much else to say #hope this helps people maybe #also idk how to add a cut/'continue reading' thingy on mobile so if someone could tell me how id appreciate it 😭😭😭
