I dont think its real

talk shop tuesday! what do you think has shaped your current artstyle? has it derived from a certain media/fandom or came naturally? what's your favourite thing about your artstyle*?

*(the most important question)

Ooooh good question! There are a few very specific things I can point to that had a huge impact on my art style/process, but none of them are strictly fandom-based

1. Back in like.... god, 2013? 2014? Tumblr user ikimaru made a tutorial for how they draw eyes. I used that as a reference for YEARS and it's now how ingrained in I draw faces. (I will say though that their expressions have a lot more energy than mine do, I'm not as good at pushing shapes as I could be)

2. When I first started seriously drawing in middle school, my best friend showed me how they sketch out poses and I just do that forever now. Is it the best practice? Probably not! We were both in middle school! But it's how I sketch out all my art now.

It's hard to identify what I like best about my art style because I don't think of it as a distinct thing? Which is silly because that's how all art styles work, they're just an amalgamation of the things you picked up and how your brain and hand decided it was easiest to repeat. Anyway. I think my favorite part of my art style is that it reads well? Which is an architecture-studio-professor-ass thing to say, but I like that my art gets the point across even when I try out some new techniques with lineart or rendering or something.

You guys really liked my last poll so

Okay here’s one for what character are YOU (instead of who’s ur bestie)

Last Line Challenge!

Rules: in a new post, show the last lines you wrote (or drew) and tag however many more people you would like

I was tagged by my dear friend @mothmansbigfatass!! I'm currently in the process of filling out a background that will likely get entirely covered up, so let's take a look!

Hee hee hoo hoo what could it all mean what could it be for

Obviously this is fully optional but I'm going to tag @vryfmi @vitariesocks @wheatbeats and @dickpuncher420 , as well as anyone else who feels so inclined

ID under the cut!

[ID: a screenshot from clip studio paint showing linework of a notice board on a transparent background. There are three empty reward posters, as well as a myriad of other, sillier posters. Highlights include a Missing Cat Poster where the reward is "Exposure", a Muscle For Hire poster with a 20% Biting Upcharge, a flyer for Ol' Pokey's Tattoos and Piercings, and three separate flyers related to a Rat Problem.]

As I gaze at the structural column in Copley Station, cracked nearly in two and held together with zip ties that have been carefully painted over to match the column underneath, I feel my soul intertwined with that of a small Italian boy of days gone by, who also stopped to look up at a large, groaning, newly painted tank full of molasses

Putting my own spin on the one and only Kurt ‘Nightcrawler’ Wagner because I’m EXCITED for X-Men ‘97, and with Gambit now happily married, someone else needs to have the frauleins dropping their knickers like they’re live grenades.

Very strong Errol Flynn influence, X-Men outfits are really best when they accentuate the character instead of ‘fitting with a team’ (there was a period where they all had these slick black and gold uniforms but where’s the fun if EVERYONE looked like that? More so the X-Men who revel in differences?) so there was really no reason the Fuzzy One couldn’t own the full longcoat and brocade shoulders!

Also, energy blades for a little high tech to go with the old school ✨👌🏼

welcome to. week 3 of random tmg polls. pick ur fave of some of my faves

Why do people need subtitles to watch a show in English? I don't get it. What is wrong with the ears of young people?

(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)

LIVE (nothing wrong with me)

LAUGH (nothing wrong with me)

LOVE (nothing wrong with me)
