Darkstalker picking his teeth.

Color is definitely still a weak point for me but I've got to practice.

Someone tell me if that arm looks janky. I tried my best but this seems to be what works.

Please reblog if YES so your followers will know!

Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.

my biggest creative passion in life is ‘the project I’m not supposed to be working on right now’

Wing armor!

I tried keep the armor fairly minimal to avoid adding too much weight to the wings. People have suggested covering the wing with chainmail, but i feel like the weight from that would render flight impossible or at the very least difficult. This configuration protects the most likely place to be struck by a weapon, those being the front outer edges of the wing. I’d imagine the armor can also be used sort of like a shield that can block incoming slash and such!

rb if you’ve heard of/read watership down im trying to see something. it was such a big part of my childhood and still lives in my heart

new Sauria episode is creepy [cw: blood, violence, fantasy horror]

someone needs to get this man a full production team and a multimillion dollar budget

Love your art! What's your shading process / any tips? I really like how vibrant it is

Thank you!! also sorry this is a long post

I usually start painting the character after I already have a background, super sketchy or with a placeholder (a photo usually), just so i know what colors to use

I fill the character with a color from the BG or a similar color and use the multiply blending mode

then i paint the lights on another layer with the "add glow" blending mode (i also pick the color depending on the bg).

I add another multiply layer for anything that needs to be darker, like stuff under the characters clothes

I paint a line with a saturated color between the lights and shadows, for example i added a bright red for the cape and light purple for their skin (? this is subsurface scattering, it doesnt happen on every surface but i like how it looks so i use it on everything lol.

Then i paint the lineart a similar color to each part of the character or you can paint it all red and use multiply

that's basically it

some tips (these are just things that work for me)

I think is better to paint the lights, not the shadows. it helps to see the shapes of the thing/character you're drawing better (its what i did with lambert ⬆️)

Draw backgrounds, i think it makes every drawing look more interesting and its easier to decide the lighting for the character, if you dont want to draw anything detailed you can paint something simple and blur it

i really recommend to start with a thumbnail, experiment with colors, perspective, composition, etc. before actually starting the drawing thumbnails of this post

this tip is something that everyone has heard before but use references, real life references like photographs for perspective and lighting, 3d models for anatomy and perspective, paintings to see how other artists stylize objects, bgs or characters. use references for everything

this tip is super important for me: check the values of your drawing, (lower the saturation, with the lineart hidden) if it isnt readable/ doesnt look good in black and white it most likely wont look good with colors (this depends on artstyle and personal preference tho)

they should let you get xrays and mris just cause. i wanna see what my skelinton looks like. i wanna see my organs and shit

Cw for cartoon violence, gore

⚠️❗️VERY IMPORTANT POST, PLEASE READ!❗️⚠️

everyone. on christmas day, december 25th, we all search up “halloween” to make it a trending search. it would be the FUNNIEST thing ever to see halloween be a trending search on christmas day. tell all your friends, repost this, do everything you can to make sure we can do this. REBLOG AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

Your art is amazing. Because of you I have found so many new fandoms to look into. You draw humans so well and I dream of being able to someday reach your skill level

One thing I both love and hate about my art is that my art is so clearly Just For Me. It’s a style that I like, it’s featuring characters that I like…

The upside is that I am always surrounded by art of things I love

The downside is that very few other people see it the same way and that’s frustrating, bc I feel like it’s lovable, bc I love it (until I don’t) and I think a lot of other people could too if they gave it a chance

Lamb animation test !! (: with sound version

Okk I fear i won't finish itUMM first attempt ever advice welcome

special defense

does this count as anything ???is this art

I suppose the big reason I prefer to draw a line between steampunk (i.e., taking modern ideas about what a high-tech society ought to look like and projecting them backwards onto an imagined 1890s) and Victorian retrofuturism (i.e., taking what people who actually lived in the 1890s imagined the year 2000 would look like and running with it) is because the second one is typically way more batshit than the first. Steampunk gets you giant robot spiders; Victorian retrofuturism gets you a habitable Lunar surface populated by anthropomorphic bat people. These are both very cool, but the latter has a certain something the former lacks.

sigh. i cant believe im doing this.

if this gets 8k notes by the first week of october ill promise to stay alive one more year.
