[ID: Mob Psycho 100 fanart redrawing a frame from OP 3. Reigen sits below a tall window with moss growing along its frame, holding a smoking cigarette and looking up. His silhouette stands on the other side of the window in an orange glow and looks back down at him. End ID]
I had this cute thought in my head, basically Gregory’s getting ready for bed but recently he’s been having trouble sleeping, so Vanessa decides to tell him a story she made up, when she ends the story she gives Gregory a forehead kiss, Gregory a bit shocked at first then says he loves Vanessa and she says she loves him too, meanwhile Freddy is just listening and is so heart melted.
Bedtime Story
i got a teensy bit carried away;; I wanted to make something from the scenario you gave, but have it be closer to my characterization of them. hope it's okay!
I kept thinking about ways he could I cooperate the flower into his outfit even when he’s older and that’s how we got here ;; I’ll most likely draw the rest of the gang soon too! :>
plz could i dh request corvojess or just jessamine? thank you!!! (also im sorry i accidentally unfollowed and refollowed while trying to click the ask button LOL)
Before I begin I just wanna say I absolutely adore your art! Got into the ninjago fandom recently and it's just👌chef's kiss!
BUT ANYWAYS!! One scene that is always itching my brain is the part where the ninja get stranded in the first realm and Jay just acts like he's transcended ALL realms into a state of calm.
Literally any scene from that point, but mainly the part where Kai asks him what he's doing and monotoned he responds "it's my new video game console... I built it myself.." Then proceeds to die, get upset, and shake it off. Allowing for a very concerned Kai to look over at a completely over it Zane.
this was one of my favorite scenes in hunted. comedy gold
I’ve adored your art for such a long time!!! I was wondering if you might be able to share how you texture your art, and how you make lighting so warm and natural? /not forced
Your ship is everything to me btw!!!

Hi hi! I'm very honored that you liked my art and my ship 😭😭😭💕
Anyway, of course! Although I have to skip on the texture part because I don't feel comfortable sharing it rn (and also I had a hard time explaining my steps too zzzz) so perhaps I will open up about it one day
As for the lighting, I sat down for hours thinking of ways to explain it but i just dk how to explain it in English so I recorded the basic lighting I do most of the time:
You can get the shadow tree thing here on csp asset (although I bought it when it was cheaper I didn't know they raised it to 1000 clippy now 🤧) Another one that I use almost religiously is this one from creative market (my lect gave the file to us in class hhh I'm not insane enough to pay that much for an overlay). You don't need to pay at all though! I've seen tons of it in google for free its just a normal shadow overlay lol
I don't usually draw my own shadow and lighting and even for rim lights I just select the layer and use the shrink tool and gaussian blur the heck out of it. I think the last time I actually draw the shadow and lighting by hand is when I draw this one a few months ago (cw suggestive but link is here if you want to see the lighting)
Majority of the time I spend whenever I draw on my laptop is the lighting because it's mostly a trial and error process and it does takes time for me to figure out which one looks nice in the end. For the sake of time and simplicity of the video I just show the basic way of me doing the lighting but I did ended up working on the render more after I'm done with the video lol
Personally, I think doing color blocks and determining the overall tint of it (Like this one I set it to be like a warm pinkish tone) really helps you focus on what you want the end result to be and saves time on figuring out the color while you paint.
here's the sketch and the end result:
I wish this is helpful enough for your or anyone to understand and try out! :3
i actually use all three art programs i own (sai, csp, and ms paint) though i've moved away from sai in recent months. i'm really buckling down on getting used to csp.
2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)
left, 100%. sometimes i flip a canvas around so i ONLY have to draw people facing left. not a good habit, really. i've joked in tags before that my blog is nothing but people facing left.
11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what
oh man, i listen to so much... if i'm listening to music, i try to match the mood of what i'm drawing. video game background music is a popular pick for me; i read an article once about how it's made to help you focus and kinda took that to heart. a lot of the time i'll listen to video essays or catch up on my youtube subscriptions.
sometimes i sit in silence and draw, but that's rare. it usually means i'm REALLY in the zone. sometimes i'll put a song on repeat and listen to it 30 times while working. it really just depends.
