Sharpie Art - Tumblr Posts
Sad but still mad
Made something yesterday and I thought y'all would like to see it :)
I don’t recommend huffing sharpie fumes while working on your final art assessment for high school ever
Doesn’t help your brain
New traditional Feather doodles.
I also am going to post some older Feather concept art pics later
So I’ve been thinking I’ll probably do sharpie tatts again for my MCR show next week, and it’s a little soon yet to be drawing the ones I’ll actually have on for the show, but it’s gotten me yearning to draw on myself again, and with all the excitement about Badflower tonight (or last night now I’m posting it, but they open again tonight too), I thought, what if I just... gave myself a Badflower sharpie tattoo. For funsies?
So if you’re unfamiliar with their band logo, it looks like this:
So I started by attempting to draw their signature flower on my wrist. I decided to do it in blue rather than black just because I prefer to have some color in my sharpie tatts, even if they’re monochrome. It didn’t exactly turn out super accurately, but, well... the band’s not called Goodflower now are they? Lol. Then it just worked out that I put their name underneath rather than attempting to go on top of the flower, which would’ve required more planning and less coloring in the center. So then it looked like this:
but I wanted to do a little bit more, and incorporate some lyrics into it too. I started looking through some of the lyrics of my favorite Badflower songs, at which point I remembered, oh yeah, a lot of these are really quite grim, lol; I did come up with a few potential selections, but none of them were Vibing just right. But then I was looking at 30 and I saw “so raise up your glasses to going out of fashion!” and it just clicked into place. I mean, one of the great things about doing sharpie tatts instead of real permanent tattoos is that the things one draws on don’t have to be your only all-time favorite absolute best picks from all possible options; I considered going through more options after that, but I felt good about that line, so I went ahead and added it in.
It felt energizing and defiant, full of weird-and-proud energy; it also seemed a bit appropriate after the night’s twitter dramas. Of course, I have trouble planning spacing and I’m just freehanding this (all the more reason I’m glad this isn’t a ‘real’ tattoo), so the “to going out of fashion” part wound up on two lines, and my script is kind of funky and hard to read in places, but you know, it’s probably not going to last a full week, and I like it. Actually I fell asleep while writing this earlier and I just woke up at like 5:30 and looked at my arm and went “what the-- oh yeah I did do that,” but this is another good thing about sharpie tattoos, that it’s okay when they just sort of appear on your arm in the morning, lol. The text in a circle around the roughly circular logo also reminds me of the Red Hot Chili Peppers logo, come to think of it, but that’s not a bad thing I suppose. Anyways, I am really quite fond of it, so I wanted to go ahead and show off my pics while it’s fresh. “Raise up your glasses to going out of fashion” indeed! I love Badflower, I love their music, it’s 6am now and I want to get back to sleep and this post is probably messy and in need of editing, but I’m going to go ahead and post about my funky little Badflower tattoo now because it’s weird and I like it.

A headshot of Cloud, my main OC, in The Great Lagi’s sharpie art style that I adore.
A Valentine’s Day related gift for my friend, who supports Sniptain.
Gerudo, for a person on Google+. I like his dark patches, it makes him very unique.
A redraw of my OC, Monsoon. He’s a RainWing captured by the NightWings as an egg and raised with other NightWings, so he’s got a snobby personality like them. (Gave him brown eyes because he’s actually cute and tender on the inside)
My AllWing OC, Emperor. Ironically, he has no powers except for breathing fire if warm enough. He’s petty and spiteful and hates hybrids who have powers of more than one tribe. I try to draw him happier, though, because he had met Alpine, a frostscales IceWing, who hates her powers and makes him open his eyes to the downside of having too much power.
Hecc I finished my art payments! Now I have a Toyhouse code!
Art trade with Anaproxia on Google+!
Art trade with somebody on DA.
Secret Santa gifts for someone on G+.
Took me a fuckin hour and thirty minutes to do this shit.
