Id Like To Say That I Have Tried To Do Good By You Guys But I Use A Tumblr Style That Shows Dates On

I’d like to say that I have tried to do good by you guys but I use a tumblr style that shows dates on posts so I won’t even front. It might be a while before more posts, but I try to check asks and messages to this tumblr? I’d like to say things can’t get worse before they’re gonna get better again here but hahaha 2016 has proven me wrong literally every time I’ve said that, on a personal and a national scale, so we’ll just sit here and hope I figure out how life works soon.

Persephone held an ancient role as the dread queen of the Underworld, within which tradition it was forbidden to speak her name.

Got so much fucked up shit going on right now that doing anything that takes effort feels like it’ll break me, but on the upside, 17-year-old-me would have killed to be able to just sit down and paint like this so it’s a reminder not everything is terrible.

Hamilton as a sci-fi mecha anime? Now the rest of you can’t unsee it either, you’re welcome.

Art v Artist meme! 

I’m a pretty strong believer that most folks emphasize (often very unnoticeable until compared) lines in their art based on their own face and what they like about faces. That said I have no idea how anything I draw looks like me, especially since I had to scrounge around just to find a selfie where my eyebrows looked less desperate than ted cruz’s.

my brushes:

download link - the hair cheat brush*, the filthy pen for sketching lines (the lineart brush I’ve been using for the last few months), and the blobby marker for loose sketch shading

*This brush is derived from a much older brush I cannot track down. I also have a handful I think are from Linda Bergkvist and Kimushii that I cannot locate either the original abr set for (my backups from my old HD only seem to include a massive set of unlabeled, disorganized brushes I regularly used), or an active download link for. For obvious reasons I haven’t included them here, but I do still use a few of them in painting from time to time.

**This set is big. A little too big. Be ready to prune out all the ones in it you will never use. I personally prefer smaller, more focused sets, but I’ve been using a few of these very regularly so it seemed more proper to link it.
