🌼 Please check out my TAG LIST!!! I've been posting here for a long while and I've dipped my toes in sooo many fandoms...maybe you'll find something you like :) 🌸 I am a tattoo artist! I post my tattoo work here. 🌼 Feel free to send asks, I love to read them! When I answer them I archive them here. My FAQ is here. 💕 Thanks for checking out my page!
Hi! I was looking at some of your painterly stuff, and I am in awe of the emotion, softness, and texture of the pieces. I wanted to ask what your general process of making painterly artwork is? Do you freehand without a sketch, how long it takes you to finish a piece like that, how you utilize layering, etc!
You are, of course, not obligated to share about your process or answer questions! If these questions are too invasive on your work, I completely understand. Thank you!
My process for those particular pieces is super loose! I try to use art fights as an excuse to try new color combos and try to get fast and comfy with painting bc I rarely do it it any more. But basically it looks like this!
2. I normally start with the complementary color to the character's main color (which was red here) unless I have a specific lighting goal or color palette in mind
3. I block in colors under the sketch layer! In this case I was just picking whatever colors but if I'm not feeling too confident I do color pick from photos or palettes I find on google images.
4. My emotional support overlay layer, of course <3. Not much thought process here, just trying to make it look good + more contrasty!
5. Then I make a layer on top of the sketch and just go ham! Try to separate the light and shadow, detail the teeth and stuff. I start with big blendy brushes and then scale down to smaller brushes towards the end.
All of my art fights take like 45 min-3 hrs (I definitely struggle on people faces so much). I think this one took a bit over an hour, which is where most of them fall! The one below was closer to 3, you can see I used a second sketch layer and did a lot of tweaks.
And finally, especially if you're focused on improving your skills, always collect inspiration pictures from artists who you want to emulate! My art fights draw LOADS of inspiration from @ikrutt + @polararts for example. I hope this gives you some insight to my process! As always, if you want to fuck with my brushes msg me, I can email you them :)
Well, I stand on the shoulders of giants (mcyt artists that draw them 100x more creature than me and im jealous)
Anyway ty and have some transparent scheming creature boys for your dash 😘
so which characters do you personally head cannon to have wings
Other than Grian, the only other hermit/life series character that I headcanon as having wings is Cub! Although he keeps them tucked away most of the time. He and Scar are both infused with Vex magic, but Scar got his wings removed at some point.
As for commonly headcanoned wing havers, here's my headcanons:
Ok and then Grian...oh boy I have a mile long list of headcanons on watcher/evo lore that I will SOME DAY get into, maybe, but its like. Its just so much and made purely for an audience of one haha. LONG STORY SHORT: he used to be human, became a watcher, now has light shapeshifting powers where he can shift between his old human form and his true watcher form. He choses a form that's in between, to his liking. Here's some rough designs of how his wings are attached and my continued attempts to nail down a bird feet design that I like 😵💫
saw the most recent post about cOW and pluto, i’d love to see tyler swift and [not] tyler swift in your style the hormses this season are so cool and your illustrations of them are just. so excellent i’m in love
A bit confused about this ask because I'm pretty sure there is only one Tyler Swift? He just needed a tune-up, what are you talking about??
(I loved this storyline so much. I love all the hormses too)
cOW is everything to me, I'm glad I can do him justice 🥰
And on that subject I just want y'all to know that telling an artist they're good at drawing horses is pretty much the highest compliment you can give an artist LOL. So thank you for all the tags, 12 yr old me is so so proud
Desert duo horse headcanons? Horsing around I guess 😅
I saw this post and I was like, its...its boat boys....
I recently caught back up on Betsy Lee's No Evil and remembered I had a buncha Corns I never posted from 2020! I went through a whole-ass sculpting phase that never made it to tumblr, lol
Ah, fuck it MORE art fight backlog! Been too busy with big projects to do anything more than doodle. SO here's some stuff from last year!
Ok so I also just really LOVE drawing dancing, although its so hard, its almost always worth the effort! So some desertduo dancing, and a few of my other favorite team-ups 💕
Headcanons ->
Normal man does normal activity and is so, so normal about it 🐟
"Y'know I've been playing this game for 20 years..."
"20 years? You can hardly even tell!"
Putting Skizz's art in the proper context...so it can be appreciated...
Excited for tomorrow!! More Skizz art forever!!! 😍😍😍
LOL yes!! This is why 3rd life is my favorite, both their dynamics are just... *chef's kiss*
