Just an OC that I wanted to draw. All sorts of practice in this pic; including trying to mimic a model I saw. If you’re a young fellah why would you NOT wear a fun suit? And paint your nails ‘gunmetal’?
I donno. I just worked on this so I’d feel productive whilst watching my baking show.

And you all probably thought I was bluffing!
Dwalin the goat-centaur looking all sexyfine. I mean, he probably doesn’t know he looks sexyfine. He’s just taking a break, watching Thorin take a bleating from his nephews. Ha!
Apparently, I still don’t know how to crop images properly in Procreate. I’ll figure it out eventually. Know how this image got here? I exported it as a jpg to my dropbox. I have a Zapier zap that looks for uploads to that specific dropbox folder then moves the file to my cloudinary account and tags it for this tumblr account. I have a second zap that looks for a certain tag in my cloudinary account then uses that image to draft a new post on tumblr! Then, when I have time to actually post, I just log into Tumblr and there’s a draft post with my image on it! Tadaaaa! Technology!
This Pretty Flower has Thorns. I love Max. I mean, I love nearly every character on Black Sails… but Max has the best costumes and just seems so tough and pragmatic yet knows how to yield and when to push to get what she wants.
Doodled on my iPad with Procreate. I’m getting the hang of using this but it would be nice if I had more time to practice.
Robins are birds. Nightwing aka Dick Grayson did his time as a Robin but he’s all grown up now! Now he flips birds instead of being the bird that flips?
There’s boatloads of smoke in our air right now which has left me wheezing on the sofa and drained of energy. So much so that I was just too lazy to get up and get my stylus last night so I finger-painted, instead!
I literally made this picture by dragging my finger around on my tablet. Sorry I’m not sorry I like how it turned out. XD
Sorry, not sorry.
I feel like sorry, not sorry, is something Nott says in her head a lot. XD
Gotcher Loot! I… I confess I seem to have a thing for drawing cute little octopus versions of characters but this one of a wee Octo!Silver is all @medusinestories‘ fault! At least, it’s dedicated to @medusinestories. XD
Mer-Bombur. Quick doodley-doo I couldn’t get out of my head. Mer-Bombur is half pearl-scaled goldfish!
Yeah. I dunno what I’m doing anymore either.
Fuck that Floral Shit. Smol!Thorin (he’s too big to be teeny tiny) was totally down for a bath until Bilbo pulled out some floral (lavender) scented soap. DWARVES DO NOT SMELL LIKE FLOWERS! WEED-EATING ELVES SMELL LIKE FLOWERS! Get that weed-eater pit scrubber away from Thorin! Just bring him a rock from the garden and he can take it from there!
Bilbo: Don’t you want to smell nice, Thorin?
Thorin: Never once in my life have I thought flowers smell ‘nice’.
Bilbo: Come on, now. This is the only bathing soap I have and you must use soap to get clean!
Thorin: How about I eat that rotted bar of flower compost and crap something nice for you to smell?
Bilbo: OH!! That DOES it. You’re not getting your clothes back until you properly scrub with soap!
Thorin: I WOULD RATHER MARCH NAKED THROUGH HOBBITON THAN SMELL OF FLOWERS!
Bilbo: THAT CAN BE ARRANGED, YOUR MAJESTY!
Ahem. So I’ve been on vacation and that means art! And… cussing. Apparently. Look, things get pretty heated around bath time. Some people want other people to smell like flowers. And other people would RATHER DIE FIRST!
I feel pretty.
In epsiode 9 [NEIN] Jester said she has to look pretty to visit the ~fancy~ part of town and that made me want to draw her wearing lolita-inspired fashion! (The Japanese style not, um, the book.)
The final image is under the cut!
Caleb Widowgast. (And Frumpkin!)
I like to doodle when I listen to Critical Role. I’m only on episode 9. (NEIN! XD)
I think the thing that makes me saddest about this is that... filler / quiet / character / bottle episodes that have nothing to do with plot used to be considered crucial structure in storytelling, particularly in a lot of drama storytelling.
It's been really lost with the rise of grimdark as a genre, and also with the way television has changed over the years. But 'the rise and the fall' or the 'inhale and exhale' within a genre (i.e. between intense and light moments, or emotional and silly moments) was actually fundamental in particular to television storytelling structure, and certainly in a lot of books too. You only need to look at Lord of the Rings to see that even J.R.R. Tolkien understood this inherently. It's good storytelling to know that in most stories, in most genres, even horror and thriller, it's good - powerful actually - to let your characters breathe and have a moment.
Anyway, ThatKodo is 100% on it, it's just that plot driven stories used to have so so so much more of this. Characterisation IS plot and it DRIVES plot. I am a 'character over plot' writer so I want to eat all of ThatKodo's words, I fully agree with them. It's just that for the most part the current divide between plot and character is one we didn't used to have in most genres to the severe degree we do now.
