does anyone else feel a disconnect between drawing digitally and traditionally? Like I’m picking up my iPad and will spend hours redrawing sketches/lineart/various projects on there… and then pick up my sketchbook and bust out quality sketches with hardly any edits??? $1000 iPad and $80 Apple Pencil vs $15-20 sketchbook and $2 mechanical pencil wtf

I absolutely had to get away from procreate it’s been melting my brain all weekend and today

I guess my new life hack will be drawing thumbnails physically like god intended but whatever

L, do you know Gods of death love apples?

L, do you know Gods of death who love apples have red hands?

#death note #l lawliet #light yagami #lawlight #deathnote #lights gay ass having an internal struggle about how he wants to bite L instead of the apple #in a hot way or a murderous way either way it’s possessive #L just trying to eat his goddamn apple #and egging him on bc he knows that’s kira and wants to see how far he can push it #l death note #religious imagery goes crazy #digital art #art #llawliet #sketch #wip

#my art #I SO DESPERATELY NEED TO DRAW REAL THINGS..........#I'm still feeling art struggle bus so every time I think I'm just gonna do a quick thing I spend 5billion years instead smh #with that second one I was sketching out a massive thing and then slapped myself over the wrist to shrink it down and go simple #it's cuter like that anyway so why did I immediately forget to do that again !!!#colour struggle is happening I'm trying new stuff...#ALSO I just think Zelda can do rly good unsettling stares 😏#stares at you directly without blinking autism vs oof eye contact autism idk #it Is about actual telepathy ofc. same thing.#JEAN THIS IS NOT ME GETTING YOU BACK BTW this is just. one of my many detours...

Here I am, pushing the Jian Li (Akai Kotou! Zuko) = Jinshi (The Apothecary Diaries) agenda.

#atla #avatar the last airbender #zuko #atla fanart #prince zuko #atla art #kyoshi warriors #Kyoshi Warriors AU #Kyoshi Warrior Ursa AU #Akai Kotou #Solitary Red Island #zuko art #zuko fanart #Kyoshi Warrior Zuko #atla zuko #the apothecary diaries #jinshi #If you know where this pose is from then you're my best friend #Moon Spirit Jinshi you'll always be gorgeous enough to topple nations #Have another one sketched somewhere because that Jinshi-wakes-up-does-a-sword-kata-and-lies-on-the-floor-to-mope scene is literally Zuko #“I can't keep my secret forever. Even that girl who's ignorant about the oddest things will probably figure it out soon...”#“Or maybe she already knows... That'd certainly make things easier for me.”#I swear the more I read the light novels the more Zuko Jinshi becomes.#But anyway THAT scene #Is literally Zuko struggling to keep his secret from Katara and the Gaang later on in the AU/fic #He's like “I can't tell her. But I can't hide who I really am forever. I can't. Why won't she figure it out already?”#It's all very dramatic and very mopey and very Zuko #So yeah. You'll probably get more Jian Li = Jinshi stuff later.#Which is hilarious to me because Jinshi is very much aware of his otherworldly looks right? Right?#Jian Li/Zuko has NO idea of how smooth he can be at times. He's so stupidly unaware of his own beauty and I think that's the best thing ever

Continued my indulgent concept work spree, this time focusing the momentum on updating some concepts from one of my projects (Wind Through the Grass).

#cuttledreams #wind through the grass #oc #more bug creatures #plus others #all of these are plot-specific except the ceratopsian beetle #but tbh all these bug dinos are probably going to be included in the world #as an aside #seeing how many people liked my previous concept sketches has been unexpected #My work outside of bugs generally isn't liked that much #I don't think this set will hit for people the same way the first one did as these have a different vibe #but that's fine since I made a lot of development progress while working on these #been struggling with some of these designs for a long time #all that said yeah have more Guys tm
