Jack is le snake {forgot the specific species}
Shaun is a black cat, change my mind
Ian is a Shiba Inu, change my mind
But what about Nick and Joseph? Would Joseph be different than a snake? Maybe a dragon? I can see that.
Would Nick be a species of bird {raven/crow for example} or would he be a reptilian?
Goodness, these questions are making me wanna draw them again and remove my artblock!!! >w<
I don't think Jack's specific snake species was ever given even after I made the initial fursona headcanon post, but he was a white snake with red markings, as you can see here with this gorgeous picture Sauce drew. Credit, as always, goes to them for their amazing art.
Tumblr media
On that note, consider joining the SnaccPop Studios patreon for even more gorgeous art if you haven't already. It's definitely well worth it in my opinion, and it helps support the team!
I totally agree with you that Shaun is a black cat. A shiba would definitely fit Ian.
The species I would pick for Nick is, hmm... Sadly, we have pretty limited info about Nick, so it's hard to say. My first thought is an animal that fits well with therapy dogs. Perhaps a cheetah who has two little puff pom pets to help him with his stress after a certain snake keeps slithering through the grass.
Well, maybe a not. Aside from the therapy dog angle, there's not much about Nick that screams cheetah to me. Plus we already have a cat with Shaun. A raven is a good possibility, but I'm not so sure. I'd need to give it some more thought...
Joseph would probably be a snake like Jack considering Jack is just Joseph wearing a clown mask, essentially. Though I certainly would enjoy seeing him as a dragon, regardless of the name he uses, as evidenced by the past couple dragon Jack headcanon posts here and here. Heck, you could have the best of both worlds with an eastern dragon that has a snake-like body. It would fit with Jack having supernatural powers.
It would be interesting if Joseph as a snake has a more muted color palette, while Jack's is brighter. It feels like there should be some sort of metaphor with a snake shedding its skin and looking different afterwards here somewhere...
As I recall there is a legend about a carp becoming a dragon. Maybe a snake could do the same. What if Joseph started off as a snake, but became a dragon as Jack?
Speaking of dragons, expect more dragon headcanon posts because it's the year of the dragon and y'all are enabling my dragon fantasy indulgence and I love you for it. 💖

it’s crazy that 2023 is almost to an end! Another year that just flew by!
I’ll be honest, I was desperate to post my art somewhere. It’s been kinda a rough couple of years for me. And recently.
I was extremely sad last year. Around this time, actually. Let me paint a picture.
Last year, I switched schools. Which I guess doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it was to me. My whole life was at my other school. My friends. They were the best. As u can probably imagine, I starting at a brand new school is hard. Especially when everyone already knows eachother. This might come as a shocker, but I’m kinda Anti-social when it comes to ppl around my age. (Especially cuz ppl my age are such bitches Lmao) for the longest time, I coped using discord And tik tok. I Even made my own little group. But ofc, that had to come to an end too. after that, I was sad again. For the longest time I had all these ideas, but no one to really share them with.
(cuz none of my irl friends like nor watched tmnt) and recently I ended a friendship w/ someone. We were both in the wrong, I’ll admit. I did say somethings behind her back. Nothing too bad. But it did call her a hypocrite. Because she would always complain about our other friends leaving to hang out w/ other ppl. When she does the exact same thing. And I was alone. Alone at lunch. Just sitting there. She would treat me so..rudely. Just plain rude. I asked her a question (Idk what is was exactly) and she responded with such a rude response. And that was on fucking Halloween. (Which I was sick on) so that’s when the entire friendship fell to shit.
Since then I’ve been hanging out by myself in the library (well, the times it’s open anyway) so u can probably imagine how I feel. Then one day, it all changed. I discover this wonder escape. Tumblr. I signed up and made this acc. And I met such amazing ppl on it.
@allyheart707: has given me good advice on my little comic series, genially super nice, fun to chat w/. I think I’ve been mutuals w/ her for the longest.
@ghosty-0w0: very silly, I have so much fun doing art collabs w/ you!! Again, very nice and thoughtful. Mutuals for a bit but it feels longer!!
@mikey-rottmnt: the ultimate silly, whiteboard was to much fun (I’m gonna try and make another board for us lol), I have no idea how we became mutuals lmao. Very fun to chat w, always open to listen, caring and sweet. I enjoy having conversations w/ u!
@c00kietin: I had a lot of fun drawing u!!!, Irish gang 🍀☘️, that one time I didn’t get sleep was chaotic, very chill, a local amphibia fan!! I wanna talk more w/ u, cuz ur js so cool!!
I Hope y’all have an amazing new year! May the year bring u luck, kindness, adventures (hopefully) not artblock, and alot of ideas!! (Not that anyone of u need them, cuz ur so creative!!)
and dw..Hehe..I will make u all suffer w/ ANGST ANGST AND…fluff. JK MORE ANGST >:))
(no but real talk I will not js do all Angst I swear—)
I APOLOGIZE FOR THE OTHER MUTUALS THAT IK AND ARENT ON HERE, ITS CUX I FORGOT UR TAGS!!!

Hello Cynder!
Congrats, you've been visited by your LU Self Care Anon!
I hope you had a great day, and if not, don't worry, you did your best, and tomorrow's full of new possibilities!
Have you drank enough water? It can really help your body and mind feeling well! Also, remember to get enough sleep, did you know underground rooms are often the freshest in the house? I can assure you there's at least a 2F difference between my basement and my ground floor. It really makes a difference in hot days!
What have you been working on lately? Would you like to show me a wip, or describe it? I'm sure it'll turn out amazing, even if you now think it's nowhere near good!
You can do this! Believe in yourself, you're awesome!
awww thank you!!! This is very sweet :))
Don’t have any real wips besides incomprehensible pencil scribbles but heres stuff I’ve been wanting to draw:
-legend and warriors (been stuck on them for a while bc I cannot draw them for the life of me + have no ideas on what to have them doing)
-otgw stuff for autumn
-gotta prep for Oct 3 w Fma ofc ofc
-smth for Totk bc i just finished the game
-ofc zelda in general
don’t hold me to it lol I tend to never draw what I say I will bc inspiration strikes or whatever (artblock hits and I’m incapacitated and unheard from for a month)

Yo I had fun (literally in a mid of an artblock)
Tumblr media
Translations (like anyone out there needed it from this piece of trash):
FIRST MEETING W/ MALLEUS
Malleus: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Child of Man. Are you the new resident of this place? If it is, then that's quite unfortunate reminding me that this building was the only inhabitant one inside of this school. I am, frankly, a fan of this place. The silence made me feel calm. But ... I see. It is indeed quite unfortunate that this building is already occupied. I hope you take a really good care of this place, Child of Man."
My Twst player!Yuusona: HE'S ONE OF A BIG TALKER, HUH. Isn't he like 202 cm tall, but why is he seems like a 195 cm tho—
(*Malleus is cheating with his horns. /real)
--- a lil note, "bacot" in my language is a rude way to say "stfu" or also a rude way to call "a person who talks too much", but I've got nothing to translate it other than "big talker" lol

2, 8, 13, and 24 :3c
2. 5 favourites of your own work?
umm picking absolute favs is very hard but heres some I like a Lot. def click for bigger size on these ^^; also, the 4th one is a comm for a friend, whos sister is a PROFESSIONAL MERMAID, LIKE AS A LIVING?? and it was a gift for her sister (THE MERMAID.) very very cool story behind that one. :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(and the original posts these were from: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) )
8. What do you like most about your own work?
...I feel like the thing I get complimented on most is the colors, but tbh? i like how ..flexible? I am sometimes. like I feel pretty good saying I can switch up my style pretty drastically when I feel like it, which is a nice thing to be able to do. (I owe it to yrs of trying to imitate very specific anime styles LMAO)
13. Show your favourite drawing from last year
...this is gonna sound SO conceited but I had a hard time picking bc I liked a lot of drawings from last year (which is funny considering I dont think I did that many compared to other years...)
i kind of want to say one from my ekleipsis illustration series just bc they are SO different from my regular cutesty style, it was FUN doing smth so out of my comfort zone!
Tumblr media
like, whos style is this? certainly not my Usual, does not feel like a ME drawing but thats kinda why I liked it a lot...felt like I was proving a point to myself 😭 all of them in that series are kinda like this bc the story had borderline horror fantasy elements lol
24. How do you deal with artblock?
it Depends. the thing abt art block is that it happens for different reasons (at least in my case) and its easier to fix when i know WHY its happening. dont feel like working on a comm? thats a self-discipline issue, gotta prioritize it, its a job I am being paid for, so Gotta do those. (even if usually fun, art block has been known to happen w them before lol) not liking a drawing and getting frustrated so I dont wanna keep working on it? skill issue or lacking technical knowledge probably, time to dig for refs or do studies. bored of looking at the current drawing? well now the issue is I Need to figure out how to make it more interesting, or go work on smth else for a while. and honestly a lot of the time it personally helps me a lot to just...step away from art for a bit. maybe a few weeks or even months before...during that time I focus on other art forms (like, I'll not draw but write or craft or smth) OR just try to find new artists, and sit and analyze THEIR work. what do I like abt their styles? what makes it work? i find it helps me appreciate my own art more when I love other ppls, esp when I see speedpaints or smth and can appreciate their processes too ^_^ and having fresh eyes after a while of not drawing is...nice? refreshing...weirdly enough lol.
tysm for asking!! this was rly fun to answer :D

Hello dear! I'm curious, do you happen to have any tips for dealing with artblock? I see your art and it inspires me to want to draw but i just cant seem to get out of my art funk. Any ideas what i could do?
Hello!!! <33 Waaah thank you so much!!! Q w Q
Tips about art block, hmm?
I get bogged down or stuck a lot too, honestly! Sometimes I'll ask friends for random prompts when I have no idea what to draw, or I just start naming random activities and see which one sticks with me for inspiration. I'll often redo a sketch like 10 times before I get something I'm satisfied with, and then push that one further.
Oh! 2 good ones: get yourself some low stakes art supplies! I'm talking printer paper, lined paper or even post-its! Something about the low stakes of drawing on 'shitty' paper gives 'permission' to your brain to make mistakes, so there's less block!
Otherwise, I like to either watch videos for pose ideas, or I scribble lines to make them into action lines!! (like I'll scribble, end up with an n shape, make it into someone doing a contortionist move/the bridge, or touching their toes) Also I draw little spirals and squares to loosen up my hand, and I try to not lift my pencil when I sketch, it makes it messier but i feel like it catches the movement better.
So, yeah! My advice is mostly get messy! Scribble and 'ruin' pages (digital or physical) till you see something you like or that inspires you! Or! You can always use the art block to do studies instead! Draw from references, and practice things you want to get better at! Anatomy, objects, colors -- don't think about making it pretty, make it a learning experience!
Thanks so much for the ask, hope it's useful to you!!! <333

I love all the bird drawings you have posted! Something different! And they all look lovely.
It can be discouraging to not be able to make the art you want to. But maybe it will make you try something different you will end up liking!
Have not been keeping up with you as much as I would like to but hope you are doing well Elmax. 💚
It was an interesting and fun challenge for sure and I'm so happy you like them hehe!! 💖
Yeah, you're right.. artblock can be a symptom of many different stuff and sometimes you need studies and sometimes you need rest: I tried a little of both and if it does feel awful it does pay off ^w^
Hope you're doing good as well, Isa! it's always a delight 🥰💕

hello Virgil when you have the time you should explain your coloring and lining process
they way i do both lines and ESPECIALLY color changes basically every time i draw but yeah sure! im also p bad at explaining myself so idk if this is gonna make sense to anyone but me!
(first off dont draw on pure white canvases!! itll psyche you out and intimidate you because of the blank canvas, also its fucking eye bleeding!! i like going with a medium/light grey but ive seen people use a beige or light brown too just anything but pure white. also helps to just get SOMETHING onto the page if your having trouble w/ artblock, doesnt matter if its good it just has to be something u can work with. trust the process 100% and if it doesnt turn out good theres no shame in restarting from scratch, at least the idea is out of your head and easier to work through what was wrong)
my sketches are usually super messy and i go through like two to four different layers of refining it before starting lineart, and with lineart i usually use either a simple hard round brush or a sketchier one if im doing painting? my go-to ones are the default G-Pen in clip studio edited a bit to fit how i like pen pressure and 1834113 and 1761353 in the asset store but i like messing w/ whatever i can find on there and whatever feels fun at the time lmao so its not very consistent
Tumblr media
i try and keep my lines pretty thin on the inside and thicker on the outer edge? as well as adding bits of cross-hatching and hatching both in the lines and when i go in with shading!
i keep my lineart brushes pretty minimal with the pen pressure as im not the best with my pen control and just change the size of pen as i go lmao. More prevalent when i'm doing super clean lines for comics and not sketchy ones like this for painting but its generally the same, i'm not the neatest person when it comes to lines
I draw a lot of the individual parts (head, facial features, hair, clothes, hands, etc.) on separate layers so if something looks wrong i can either wipe the layer entirely or go in with the transform tool and not mess with the rest of the lineart in the process lol
(also i saw someone keep the eyes and facial features visible under the hair but erase where they meet the lines for the hair? and just yoinked it for myself because it looks super nice lmao.)
Tumblr media
starting colors is almost always the same, where i just go in and block in the base color for each part (skin, hair, clothes, etc.) on a separate layer to make going back and editing colors a lot easier. with painting like here i also go in and add basic shading, mostly around the skin! usually i add a darker & warmer color around the cheeks, nose, eyes, fingertips and joints as well as in places where theres shading like under the head and under the nose.
Tumblr media
also in the darkest parts of the shading like under the head/neck and under the nose i like to add a light bluish/purpleish color very lightly as a bounce light! it doesnt always fit with the piece but it does look very nice when i can make it fit so i try to remember to do that lol.
(I dont take many progress shots or timelapses so i apologize for not having the best reference images lmao)
if im doing painting, after finishing the base colors & light shading i put everything ive done into one folder and make a clipping mask over top of it and paint over it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i usually add more detailed shading + heavier highlights on places like the nose and edges of the skin showing to make it look nice and shiny lol
(i dont have any recent drawings i can show progress pics of but just trust me on this) if im doing cell shading though i do the same thing with putting the lineart and colors into a layer, but add a multiply layer on top of it and pick a pretty saturated color to go in with the shading. if i have a background i try and keep in mind what colors are in the background and what the lighting situation is to make sure the characters blend into the background more realistically. also airbrush tool and the add glow layer is your best friend in this situation
Tumblr media
usually after that i go back and color the line art! I pick the darkest color in a part of the drawing like the clothes or hair, make it warmer and darker and go in on the innermost parts of the lineart with it and keep a lot of the outer lines black for contrast
then i just go completely fucking ham with overlay layers and gradient maps lmao, they ARE the fucking best and are usually what i use to finish off a drawing lol.
usually i use a combination of just fucking with the default "sky" graidents in clip studio or one set i got from the asset store (1814319) on a soft light layer at like, 10-30 opacity because it gives it a REALLY nice look. again just keep in mind the lighting situation (darker night? daylight? funky bright colors?) and just go until it looks good lol.
that's basically it? though tbh i tend to just grab onto whatever technique or tip i saw on tiktok or someone on youtube do and use that, as well as changing how i color hair/skin depending on what i think looks nice at the time. none of my shit is consistent what so ever so i just kinda change things or try new brushes/coloring styles on the fly if i think it looks nice lmao. pure essence of fuck around and find out every time i open clip studio
really hope this makes sense to anyone but me and hope this was helpful!

KA! ZU! NA! RIIIIII!
favorite thing about them: How bright he is. I love how he makes sure to make others happy, and while that can also be a negative quality for him, I just... love how much he cares about his friends, and everything he does with and for them :'))) And I love how he's letting himself be selfish :''))
least favorite thing about them: PLEASE STOP USING FLIRTING AS A WAY TO BRUSH OFF YOUR GENUINE HONEST MOMENTS SDJKLGJKLFHDH I know that isn't a thing as much anymore but it's funny that he just. did that. Come on Kazu I know you can be better than that.
favorite line: THIS IS LONG BUT IT'S... EVERYTHING TO ME
Tumblr media
brOTP: Misumi!!!!!! Also all of Summer Troupe but I'm especially fond of how he looks after Yuki and Muku!!! I'm very fond of him and Azuma too, they're such good friends ;w;
OTP: MISUKAZU!!! I also love Tsuzukazu and Citokazu, and Bankazu is fun too!
nOTP: I know Kazunari is an adult but that doesn't mean you can automatically ship him with people over 10 years older than him (Azuma............)
random headcanon: Sometimes when he's artblocked he goes on walks. He likes this especially when it's cold, because he usually goes out when it's warm, and things are so different in the winter months.
unpopular opinion: Do I have one??? I don't think I have one
song i associate with them: I'm not completely set on a Mili song associated with him... I was thinking maybe Sideshow Duckling ? I don't need the song to fit perfectly, and this song probably fits the best lol "Their laughters came in place of my tears, of my broken hearts / I hate how every time I look to you / And feel relief from your applaud"
favorite picture of them: HE HAS SO MANY GOOD ONESSS

Dump (vent-ish) post because I'm tired as shit and it's my blog and I decide what to do w it ✌🏻😽
So, update abt what's been happening in my life:
Tw: talking bout dissociation episodes, b safe!!!
UNIVERSITY SUCKS, don't fucking go if you live in a place where it's not needed. Unfortunately, in my country if you don't have one it's pretty much impossible to get a job.
I'm the youngest of my class, and everyone else is pretty much at least a year older than me, and they're most men. So imagine the headache it is to be a fem presenting genderfluid person in a classroom full of adult men. Also I'm pretty sure that if I didn't glare and grabbed their wrists whenever they tried to put their hands near me, I'd be surrounded by virgin weebs trying to flirt with me. Fml.
Also like, I'm having lots of dissociative episodes and they can last a good while, I'm tired because I know I'm automatically acting "normal", but I feel like I'm trapped in my mind and I can't escape it. Today I had, AT LEAST, 10 quick and short ones. The thing is I immediately feel like I need to throw up and my head hurts rlly badly, so I'm in pain.
Yesterday I got a tooth removed and my jaw hurts :( can't eat because ouchie.
Talked w my therapist abt all this, she agrees that I'm overwhelmed and getting sensory overload a lot. Have huge artblock, don't even have time to draw or write, only homework and sleep.
I'm eepy rn cuz in like half an hour is my usual betime so gonna go finish hw and then sleep. Love y'all, I promise I'll have more time to finish the fics now that I'm having my last exams of the "first section of the semester" on Wednesday.
Love!!!

Been struggling for the past couple of weeks w artblock. I feel demotivated to do digital stuff since I find my traditional sketches better.
Whenever I DO do digital stuff I feel good after I finish but when I look back I don't like it.
I also feel pressured to post to appease the algorithm gods even tho I don't like how it looks anymore. So I don't post.
Not sure how long this will last. I haven't abandoned my acc tho, dw. Just figured I should say something to the 5 ppl who always interact w me and my stuff😂
I love yall 🥺
