Don't ask me what I'm doing, I don't know either.

I think if you look for enough in this tag you can find the old art of her. She's been around for so long but it's kinda nice to see that she's grown up a bit from the old drawings.

Emily is still crazy as all hell but she's chilled a little bit at least.

I honestly I want to redraw some of it

This was a big experiment with color when I did it. I usually adjust the colors after I'm done but for this one I didn't.

I’m determined to make my background skills better and sometimes that means tootling my own horn and making things look like fancy VN screenshots.  

Ironically these two don’t really have a romance arc lol 

The books in the background are what drive me the most crazy and I just copy and pasted them. I want to talk about Alloute’s background but I honestly feel like everyone would just think she’s based on another character because the similarities line up too much.

This will have a concrete story tied to this art.  I need to tell myself this to try and commit.  This girl’s story has been a mess for years.  

Also how does perspective work???

I’m scheduling a bunch of posts with recent art, but the thing is I just started trying to make backgrounds as of like….2 weeks ago?  So as the posts go on….I’m sorry for the random declines in quality 

She looks cute but honestly she’d get you drunk as hell and steal your wallet. 

Alloute is probably one of my more fun characters honestly.  She just likes to hang around and watch the chaos unfold most of the time. 

A while ago I decided to do a quick redraw of an old sketch from like 3 years ago? I still like this character’s design so I didn’t change much, but its nice to see my anatomy improving a little bit :P

The summer was rough for a lot of reasons, so I ended up drawing something to help me center myself.

I really hope I won't need more of this reminder in 2021.

I’ve been working on refs for a lot of characters whenever I need something simple to work on. This one is actually a newer OC and I love her a lot in terms of how developed her background is.

This is also when I started feeling comfortable with how I shade. I’ve always had a problem with it but at least now I’m moderately okay with it?

a month ago i picked up a book on stage directing in my school’s black box and opened to a random page and it was something about making shakespearean actors rehearse by adding the word fuck to their lines to turn the archaic language into something familiar for the emotional resonance (of course taking it out as rehearsals move along to fix rhythm/etc but just to start off) and the example it gave was the solid flesh speech. like. iirc it was specifically “but two fucking months dead”

and like. im obsessed with this. as a concept. not even for acting i just think it’s so fucking funny. to be or not to be, that’s the fucking question. is this a fucking dagger i see before me. this is the excellent fuckery of the world -

What fucking fire is in mine ears? Here is my fucking butt.

“Press not a falling man too fucking far!” - Lord Chamberlain, Henry VIII, Act 3 scene 2

One of my absolute favourite things in the world is a ‘fuck run’. If the energy is too low, or the intensity is dropping the director might ask you to run a scene, or sometimes even the whole play, and insert ‘fuck’ or any of its derivatives wherever you feel the urge to. I have never experienced anything so quickly and ferociously liven a scene. It’s like a defibrillator. 

Once did the last half of Oedipus Rex as a ‘fuck run’ leading to such incredible double entendres as: ‘Oedipus, son, dear child, who motherfucking bore you’.

Other highlights from times I’ve either taken part or seen a fuck run:

“I would eat his heart in the fucking marketplace” ”I have, of late, though wherefore I know the fuck not, lost all my motherfucking mirth.” “Your royal father’s fucking murdered.” “Fuckfuckfuck. O, by fucking who?” ”Gentlemen, remember that I am a fucking ass” ”Why the fuck did you bring these fucking daggers from the place? They must lie fucking there! Fuck! Go fucking carry them, and smear the sleepy grooms with fucking blood” “Screw your courage the FUCKING sticking place and we’ll not fail”
