Its been a little over a year since ive started posting art on here and i was thinking on doing something special, but i didnt know what to do until an idea presented itself on my door step. Literally.
*if you win, you have a choice on not taking the knife block, btw*
I’ll switch it out for a free commission from me that totals up to $50. Just keep in mind that if you don’t take the knife block, I will resent you. But you do have the choice.
I can ship the package out to anywhere where USPS can ship to !
My submission for @where-does-the-heart-lie‘s DTIYS! Congrats on one year on tumblr!! Your art is always an absolute delight to see :D I hope this does it justice!
Here is my entry for @where-does-the-heart-lie ‘s 1 year DTIYS!! I hope ya like it!! 🌷
Um, me being chatty AND close ups of the boys below!!
This took, so long to finish. Months I tell ya. Not cause it was difficult per se, it was done with markers, pens, gel pens, and a bit of color pencil. But it was such a CHALLENGE!! I have never colored fire before so trying to figure it out and how it affects the clothes, skin, etc., has been so so neat!!! And drove me nuts!!! But it’s done, the boys are here!
I just, thought it would be nice to incorporate all of the brothers for this cause why not?? They are everything, they are the MOMENT, the blorbos!!!! Also something poetic here about being there for each other and brotherly bonds and love and all that wonderful jazz ✨
And now!! Those close ups I promised. Just mostly on their faces cause I’m proud of them (Ace’s gave me so much trouble for NO reason the beloved bastard 😭)
For @where-does-the-heart-lie 's DTIYS ! Hoping tumblr doesn't down the quality too much, in any case feel free to zoom in there's so much; stuff and textures and shit
First time joining a dtiys teehee
(version without the background and additional thoughts under the cut)
For his face, I got inspired by the Sabo with the triangle shape langage from this post, and the facial hair from here
It does end up making him look older, but I thought he looked too unhinged to pass
Also I didn't draw the top hat bc I desperately wanted to draw the goggles
Sorry it’s last minute! This is for @where-does-the-heart-lie ‘s dtiys challenge. I adore how whery draws sabo and the other asl bros. They mean so much to me. I’ve drawn sabo a few times now but I’m still not satisfied with how I draw him, but I’ll get there, hopefully.
Btw this guys missing his ear and horn on the other side of his face! To match the scar, and the mask around his neck filters out smoke and other stuff, cause I feel like he has to have some lung damage from being blown up. Fire and all that. Oh! And the pack on his back is a special flame thrower type thing. It lets him release fire out of the palms of his hands and the heels of his boots.
Here we have my rendition to @where-does-the-heart-lie DTIYS
This is probably an odd choice in terms of "drawing" and not even sure if this fits into a dtiys but threads is my only language.
Actually, it took me a ridiculous amount of time to dicide if do it or not (and another ridicolous amount of time to finisht it) but life is short and how many more excuses do I need to embroider one of my favorite takes on Sabo?
I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed doing it ✨
Close up and a bit about the procces and choices unde the cut!
The pearcings are metal
In this case I thought that using only one color would not have worked so I chose to use more than black. First time ever using color threats. Why I do this to myself
This technique is called blackwork and usually is one color thread embroidery. The texture, light and dark is achived
through diferent patterns and thickness of the threats.
At first I wanted to make it bigger, so that the body pose would be more visible, but bigger meant more time and I had to take into account the deadline. And being a(n) functional adult takes a lot of time. This one took me around 30/35 hours (errors and little cries included), probably a little more.
I have learned A LOT during the proces and i'm starting to feeling it, the color threat thing.
I don't rule out completing the ASL trio just for my own enjoyment.
Tip: If you decide to choose colored threads, make sure you do it in sunlight; What I thought was a beautiful blonde in the light of my lamp, turned out to be a membership card to the Weasley family the next morning. I had to undo hours of work.
@where-does-the-heart-lie's DTIYS!! It was a fun challenge and a reason to learn how to draw flames properly! X) I have to admit that Whery's Sabo is one of the reasons I decided to finally finish reading one piece... the power of that insane british man......
"Not justice, just freedom."
My entry for @where-does-the-heart-lie's 1 year DTIYS!
I had a TON of fun doing this one, especially after spending so long on a different piece which is still not finished. This was super fun! Thank you for running the DTIYS Whery!
Close up on the face below
Sabo for @where-does-the-heart-lie's DTIYS! I had been wanting to draw him for a while and this presented itself as the perfect opportunity. Your art is great so it was an honour to try!
