just want to say, i am putting in effort and am really exited do do this comic. but ive just finished a project that started in SEPTEMBER. and ive been doing the final piece since. im gonna say november but p earlyer. i spent over 100 hours on it, and had to split the file into THREE on my new fancy tablet i bought so i could handle the chonk [also as an investment and the only prezzies im getting for years]

i probably spent over 200 hours on the damn thing, excluding the planning and redesigning of various elements. and the several tens of thousands of words i also wrote.

this was only a third of the shit i was doing in that time.

i have recently started another project on that scale [if not larger in amount of analysis and subjects]

to put it plainly: i just did the most laborious work of art of my life. i am also diving back into a project with barely any buffer-time [i will be doing fonts and lettering first but that's still complex].

pieces i want to put my heart and soul into wont look like some of my best works. because its for fun, and frankly is so i can keep doing art and let some of it be for me.

idk i just dont want ppl to think im not doing my best cause i dont care. i do. im also exausted. and trying very hard not to burn out, because i cant afford to.

#thebirdspeaks #art has highs and lows #and after big pieces that consumed ur life for months are done #ur fukin knackered #tbh its p why my pain n mobilty are giving me issues. i need to rest my hands

Duchess has just such a pretty design, I love her 🦢💜

#and her character is just so interesting #the girl just wants a happy ending #even if she has to take one #low key could have paralleled Raven if they’d wanted to go that route #and in the Next Top Villain book headmaster Grimm wanted Duchess to be the new Evil Queen instead of Raven #and Duchess and Raven both have bird imagery!!#Duchess is very neat lol #ever after high #duchess swan #eah #ever after high art #ever after high books #eah royals #eah rebels #eah duchess

One of my favorite on going jokes in TLT is artifacts from the original Lyctors, saints from ten thousand years ago, are mostly meaningless nonsense, often bad sex jokes. They are just crude notes passed between friends made meaningful due to their age and what they tell you about the people that made them, just like the graffiti at Pompei or Victorian erotica

#yes i was thinking about the low brow vs high brow art thing #the excerpt is from the bonus sections of gtn that includes a 'sermon on necromancers and cavaliers'#which reads so close to a sermon/homily you'd hear in church on like the meaning of family it was unreal #and then this was included at the very end #which could just be a joke but it's not just a joke #bc it's funny yet it's something some guy has written their thesis on #tlt #the locked tomb #gtn #gideon the ninth #htn #harrow the ninth #ntn #nona the ninth

#My art #Wander Over Yonder #Commander Peepers #Lord Hater #Death Glare #Thinking like a Lot a Lot about Peepers' affection for Lord Hater lately #Specifically about Peepers' attraction to others in general but Hater in specific since y'know - that man is his everything haha #He is not subtle about it <3 #There's also the impropriety of them being in a relationship but not caring since they're already villains and just hhh <3 The appeal!#I think it's still the contrast for me - not Just in their designs but yes also that lol #But in their highs and lows in general! They're so combative and mean but they can also be sweet and silly #There's a kind of mutual respect and admiration that's largely overshadowed by the other's arrogance or immaturity or perceived ineptness #And I love that for them! The fact that it still persists despite how well they know each other! They love each other!! It's cute as heck!!#Peepers is absolutely incorrigible - his big Heart Eye whenever Hater does anything remotely adept and evil #He is So obvious lol <3 #But even Hater has his moments of recognition and realizing his own errors when he does wrong by Peepers and hhhhh it's just so good <3 <3 #They need each other #These vectors are also still fun as heck to make lol they're quite quick! I like having a project done within a day :D #Having such strong stylism to follow makes it much easier ♥ Thank you cartoony aesthetic love you #The Skullship palette as well :D Love it all!#Peepers in specific is still the funnest to draw but how much of that can be attributed to wanting to practice him because I love him lol

The Red String of Failure

#skyy's art #south park #Kenny mccormick #leopold butters stotch #butters stotch #bunny #sp Kenny #sp butters #sp bunny #red string of fate #Alex and I have built our own au outta this idea #but I went my own way with this one-#butters having a string that no matter what just hasn’t connected with Anyone #and Kenny who despite everything just Doesn’t have a string because of his immortality and high death rate #Kenny was supposed to be connected to butters but because of kenny’s ‘glitch’ there was nothing to complete the connection #sp butters is left with a string that dangles and Kenny is left with nothing #fate has left them to fend for themselves. each one living in a world where everyone else is connected except for them #but how are they to know that they’re meant for each other when they each keep their ‘deformity’ on the down low?#I’ve been thinking about this a lot- can you tell?

Have you ever seen these limited edition prints that come with the Chinese edition box set of Nevermoor? Well, now you have! They are by Cola Chen and 6-9 illustration studio.

#nevermoor #nevermoor art #nevermoor merch #this is tagged as merch but afaik it's only available with purchase. got the link in the post from one of the artists' instagram posts.#I searched high and low for a better version of the right one and has no luck past the same lq 640x640 webp shared everywhere :(#so I included the closeup :) nothing more for the left one. obvs neither have it in full without the watermark for rights reasons I assume #i'm so obsessed with it though. right up there with mamefuk's cover illustrations for the japanese editions. lovely shapes and colors!#I found these ages ago on twitter from fishsma11 but decided to try + look for some better pics to share on here as I compile a merch list!

I’m a tad late with this one, but I’m finally done with my 2nd Clown Bust adoptable! I’ll be releasing these every so often to get designs i got in my brain out my system, cos i had Such strong inspiration for this guy.

I’m in a financial emergency and really need him to sell, so if you can’t afford him, I’d greatly appreciate a boost!

VENETIAN CLOWN - @/kaiiijuu

DM me if interested!

[Rules under cut!]

You may gift them, but under no circumstances are you allowed to resell them.

NONE of my art or adopts are to be minted as N/F/Ts.

You may not edit the original art in any way, shape or form.

You may not reupload the non-watermarked file anywhere, as that’s for your own personal use and viewing.

You MAY, however, reupload the watermarked version for the sake of judgement memes, select and bio pages, asks, and ToyHouse, where you can credit me under the same URL as my tumblr 8bit-mau5.

If you do not want them anymore, you can donate them back to me or trade them off to someone else! Be sure to let me know of the new owner if you trade or gift them away.

Don’t claim design as your own, and must credit me when you first draw them.

You have a maximum of 24 hours to send payment once approved. If you don’t send it within that time frame, I open them back to the public.

Transparent unwatermarked files will be sent only after payment has been received.

Feel free to change the gender, clothes, etc however you want, so long as the design is still recognizable.

You may NOT change the skin tone, whitewash them, or change their facial features, as most if not all of my adopts are coded as POC (obviously the facial features rule doesn’t apply to chibis, as those guys have no drawn distinct facial features).

#artists on tumblr #fantrolls #homestuck #hiveswap #adoptable #Gabriel's arts #BOOST #after procrastinating on the background i was finally able to make one im happy with!#like i know the bg doesnt really matter for adopts BUT i like to make them personalized to the character [:#ANYWHO im very happy with his design and would greatly appreciate some love on this guy!!#40 bucks is pretty low price considering how high my stuff nortmally goes for #but i feel this guys a lil too niche to price at like 60 - 70. either way i hope #someone swipes him up and gives him a good home. he is severely unwell and has rows of shark like teeth btw. if you even care

That said it IS really fun to think about how fashion would differ in Kryta compared to how it actually is. With things like class, religion, and immigrant cultures all having clear influences on how people would dress (just like real life!)

#girlbob.txt #gw2 #i was specifically thinking about canthan-krytan fashion and how it would change between high class and low class #current idea being that high class follows things like current chinese street fashion trends #while lower class has a counter culture fashion consisting of looser shirts tight belts and asymmetry #not sure tho it was just an idea seeing as i'm not skilled enough to draw what i want #for concept arts

Hi there! Its time for the anon love! Instead of going trick or treating, consider this the treat! I love your style! And I have to say, you've improved so much, I utterly ADORE your coloring/shading style, its so painty, so soft but not too soft, its a middle between grounded and soft! And I love how much you've improved with drawing overall! You've done such a great progress over time and it's nothing sort of awesome! Keep up the good work and thank you for such awesome art!

This is….so sweet, thank you so much. 🥺 I know I’m not crazy active anymore, but stuff like this really makes my day. I’ve been in such an art funk recently and this is absolutely lovely to hear ; ; I hope you have a great one, friend, I truly appreciate it!!

#asksksksk #my art #this is truly the sweetest and has turned my whole day around #i low key high key feel bad for not posting as much stuff over here anymore other than comms #but its v reassuring to hear yall still enjoy my stuff ; ;

Drawing dolls that I have: Part 2!

Generation Three Abbey Bominable!!! I absolutely ADORE her, and her doll is so incredible. I love her holo details on her pants and how long her hair is. For a solid 30 minutes after I got her, I just sat on the couch running my fingers through her hair. She's so gorgeous and I'm 100% buying whatever dolls come out of her in the future!

+ some close ups :3
