Rating Seal Emojis

Somewhat of a tired format but i still enjoy it so i decided to do one myself?

These sweet thangs don't have much history, as the seal emoji was only added in 2021, but there's still enough to go around so let's go.

Apple iOS

Looks to be evocative of a really grey baby seal. It's quite sweet but i dont like that it has shoulders. 7/10

Google Android

Actually biased, but this is easily one of the cutest. I can excuse the undefined flippers. 10/10

Samsung 2.5

Like trying to redraw the Google emoji from memory. The features seem weirdly disconnected from each other. 5/10

Samsung 6.0

They went back, and decided it needed to be cuter, which they overdid, but who's to say it didn't work? 100% baby thing. Hind flippers are way small though 7/10

Windows 11 2021

Feels more evocative of a baby harp seal than the other ones. The tail makes what i can only describe as a "Seal Bident" and the front flippers are closest to the sleeves of a wavy blouse, but above all, it's JOYFUL and y'know what, i love the energy 9/10

Windows 11 November Update

...and then this came in. There's nothing wrong with this one per se but just compare the previous one! They took its joy and made it some kind of undefined mystery species. 5/10

Microsoft 3D Fluent

It's just the last one, but in 3D. Purple is a pretty novel color to shade a seal with but it doesn't add much, and the definition 3Dness gives it makes it feel weirder. 5/10

WhatsApp

"A seal is just like if you put a dog head on a fish, right?" I can't find a single species of phocid that has this coloration making me think they found an Australian sea lion and went "good enough". Ironically, this one also has the most accurate pose and flipper detail, so it's kind of a net zero. 7/10

Twitter

Sea lion! The tail is a hand and while usually that could be fun and interesting this emoji is going for accuracy and it just makes that fall apart a little bit. 8/10

Facebook

Standing tall and proud! This emoji, while recognizing how the hind flippers are placed, seems to forget the tail resulting in Smooth Barbie Crotch for seals. Front flippers bend real weird too. 8/10

Guys please welcome Azul Ashengrotto Masquerade version 2.0 🐙

Actually this is the first time I redraw an illustration of mine and boiii my artstyle has improved quite much in one year and a half… and I’m not afraid anymore to say I’m proud of all the progress I’ve made since 2021 🥺

I tried to stick to the same pose but as I tend to challenge myself all the time, I decided to draw the full body because I just love drawing characters from head to toes and making them real.

Anyway, please send so much love to Azul Masquerade 🥹 I still think his groovy is one of the most beautiful ones and he should wear rounder glasses (when not playing the mafia boss). It suits him so well ✨

The old illustration of Azul Masquerade I redraw: here Yes it's a repost but I originally posted it way earlier.

❥︎ Character; Lilia Vanrouge Game; Twisted Wonderland

❥︎ Prompt; 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗟𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗔 !! || 2nd pov || established relationship

❥︎ Notes; Fun fact, this was originally a Teru oneshot I wrote back in 2021. Hopefully, nobody who saw that remembers it. I did not have a blast reading through my old writing ☺️ Also, I may do a part 2 to this ? Idk. + The banners are like 3 years old I need to redraw them so bad </3

MAIN M.LIST

"So, what are we gonna make?"

It was a known fact in diasomnia that Lilia had quite the unique skill when it came to cooking, and what you mean by unique skill is that he always somehow ended up with something that was at best inedible, at worst poisonous. No matter how good of a recipe you gave him, no matter how many instructions and warnings you nailed into his head, none of it seemed to work.

Which led you to the following conclusion, you would have to personally supervise him in order for you to actually come out with any worthwhile results that you would be able to risk putting into your mouth.

Now, this was not your first attempt at this. The first one didn't quite go to plan when you had to leave Lilia for a couple of minutes to go get one of the missing ingredients before coming back to smoke floating around from a mini explosion coming from the kitchen.

He was banned from entering the kitchen for a while after that one.

"We're gonna make some pizza." You replied to your dual-haired boyfriend, shuffling your way through the kitchen, rummaging through the cupboards to get out all your needed ingredients. "Should be easy enough for even you to make."

Lilia placed a hand on his heart in a dramatic manner, a feigned look of hurt on his face. "You wound me with your words, love."

You rolled your eyes at that. "I'm trying to help you here, you know. Everyone else thinks that you're a lost cause."

As you were setting out the tools, a familiar warmth brushed up against your back. A pair of arms came to wrap around your waist. His head settled down onto the curve of your shoulder, breath soft against your neck as he uttered the next words. "I'm surprised you're letting me try again at all after what happened last time.”

"Well, this time I'll make sure not to leave your side for the whole time, okay?"

His head tilted up a notch to land a light kiss to the tip of your ear, as a small chuckle escaped his lips. "Can't say no to that."

A couple more minutes had passed, and you were now halfway through making the dough for your pizza. To your delight, Lilia was doing surprisingly good so far. The dough was successfully mixed together, and he was now standing in front of the mixer as it kneaded it all together.

"Okay, I think that's enough with that. You can take out the dough and lay it on the mat that I prepared." Your finger followed your words pointing to said mat before changing directions towards the flour and sift right next to it. " Make sure to add some flour onto the mat so the dough doesn't stick. Just sift a spoon or two gently onto the surface."

Fulfilling your self-admitted role of supervision, you came to stand next to Lilia's side, watching him take out a spoon and dip it into the bag of flour with no fault. As everything on his end looked stable enough, you briefly turned to face the cupboard on your other side. The plan was to get out the rolling pin so he could use it in his next step, but alas it was a bad decision on your end.

Your hand didn't even make it to the intended shelf before you saw a cloud of white powder suddenly engulf your vision.

Nearly giving yourself a whiplash from how fast you turned your head, you rushed to quickly take control of what was happening. "Oh my god, Lilia! I said gently, gently!"

Your hands reached out to stop him from his aggressive shaking motion in hopes of stopping the flour from spreading any further. The old fae had the audacity to blink at you owlishly with his red eyes, as if he were totally innocent from what had just occurred.

"Oh? Was I doing it wrong?"

A sigh left your lips at his words, swatting your hand back and forth to get the floating particles of flour out of the way. "Do you really think that the flour is supposed to get on every surface within a meter of the mat I told you to sift it on?"

"Hmm, I admit, I think I may have gotten a little carried away there. But no need to fret over it. There's still plenty of flour in the bag." His body turned to face you while his finger pointed over to the bag of flour that was slowly folding over, just seconds away from falling down and spilling its contents all over the floor.

You nearly tripped over your own feet trying to get to it in time. Luckily, you managed to do so successfully.

An exasperated sigh left your lips. "That's not really my point, but anyways. Here, let me do the sifting for you. It's not like it's part of the actual recipe."

"No objections to that."

A little while later, you had both the flour and dough spread out in front of Lillia. With the rolling pin secured in both of his hands, he began the motion of rolling back and forth on the dough to spread it out.

Except, of course, he was rolling it out way too hard and absolutely flattening the poor thing to a crisp. No wonder any pizza he attempted beforehand came out burnt and disfigured to oblivion.

Honestly, you weren't even surprised at this point. You had to grasp one of his hands with yours to stop him from going any further. "Lilia, that's too thin. How on earth are you even going to get that thing into the oven tray? It's going to rip to pieces the moment you even try to lift it up. You can't even stick anything on top of it."

Lilia shot you a confused look. "Can't I just stick it back together with glue or something?"

A look of horror presented itself on your face. Okay, maybe you did have the ability to be surprised after all. You pleaded in your mind that what he just mentioned is not the disgusting plastic-y taste that you've had to gag from in Lilia's cooking before. "Lilia, people are going to eat that!"

"Hmm, I'll use caramel then. That should be sticky enough, no? Or you think melted marshmallows would work better?" His hand came up to hold his chin in thought.

No words could describe the absurdity of what you were hearing right now, so you just decided to shake your head in disbelief. "Okay, we're going to start this again, and this time, I'm gonna help you roll it out."

Kneading the dough back into a ball, bringing you two back to step one. You positioned yourself in front of your lover, standing right in between his extended arms. Both his hands were on the handles of the rolling pin again, except this time you had your hands layered over his, holding them tight and positioning them into the right place. He was also floating up higher so he could see from over your shoulders.

"Well, I will say, I definitely prefer this rather than doing it on my own." Lilia said cheekily. He leaned forward even more, so his chest was basically glued to your back. The breeze of his breath tickled the tip of your ears, and you could feel the heat rise up to said place at the proximity. "You're so cute like this. I could just lean in and take a nibble." Of course, before your brain could even process his words, you felt his sharp canines brush along the curve of your ear before gently sinking them in to give it a soft bite.

"Lilia!" Your ears weren't the only part of your skin flushed in red now. There was no doubt that your non-human lover could feel the heat radiating off your cheeks, too, as you turned to face him with a half-hearted stern expression.

The only reply you got out of him was that infamous laugh of his.

You had absolutely no idea why you still got flustered by such moves from him even after all this time being together. Unfortunately for you, Lilia was well aware of this and often used it to his advantage.

"Can we focus on what we have on hand now?" A poor attempt on your end to stir the conversation back to its origin.

"What do you mean? I am focused." An innocent grin paired with his closed eyes and a slight head tilt. However, you were far from fooled.

It was at moments like these that you wished you had the ability to be able to tease him back. Hard to do that, though, when he's a centuries-old fae who's seen and been through it all.

Soon enough, after a little more teasing from Lilia, much to your embarrassment, you two were back on track, rolling out the dough. With your help (specifically, your hands making absolutely sure he did nothing out of the ordinary), the dough was spread and ready to be decorated in no time.

“Phew. We finally did it.” You turned to face Lilia with a satisfied look. All with no casualties too this time. Very impressive if you were to ask yourself.

Said fae leaned down to land a sweet kiss to the corner of your mouth, causing a smile to draw on your face. “We always work great as a team together, don't we?”

Now that the hard part was over, you were definitely feeling much more optimistic about the outcome of you and Lilia's creation. The successfully shaped out dough gave you quite the confidence boost.

Hopefully it all goes sailing smoothly with no more mishaps.

Although, maybe it was a little too wishful thinking considering this is Lilia you are talking about.

[art backlog: november 14, 2021]

this was i think my second amphibia post ever (i got into it right before s3 dropped)?? which is crazy?????? but yeah much like every artist in the amphibia fandom, olivia & yunan sparked me creatively in ways that have rarely been replicated since. normally i am NOT able to pump something like this out in a day, but somehow that’s how soon after the episode dropped i finished it 💀💀

this one is old obviously (predates me switching from tablet drawing to ipad drawing, even) but i don’t hate to look at it like i usually do for old stuff. that being said i still reeeaallly want to redraw it. i remember having tons of fun with it and being really happy with it at the time, even though it pushed my limits

[breoasis]

i was browsing my art folders and i don't think i've ever posted this on here so anyways.. twilight princess ganondorf screenshot redraw, you know the one (from 2021)

there's so many things i'd probably do differently if i were to paint this today but i think it still slaps, i also found the speedpaint of it that i recorded but i don't think i can post it on here

[kociakarma]

This may be a weird question. But how do you get the heads to look so good? (In that homestuck style you use for the characters) whenever I try, the head looks too big and awkward. I tried making the head smaller and adjusting it, but it still looks weird. I'm really sorry if this question doesn't make sense.😭

actually that's something i've struggled with for a long time! when i first started practicing an mspa style, i would always make the bodies tiny, and the heads HUGE

these are SUPER old drawings, around 2020/2021, i'd say that some of it came with time for me, but a lot of it comes from referencing (tracing too, but be mindful about it ofc), looking at homestuck panels and even some MSPFAs like vast error. One thing that helped me was redrawing some panels, and looking at guides. I also feel like, from my experience at least, a lot of the issues for me came from making the bodies too short, instead of making things more elongated.

honestly though? i think its just important to recognise that homestuck, and mspfas in general have a very fluid style, things will change in order to fit a vibe or to suit the narrative better. if you want a more recent example of it i'd recommend to just look through homestuck: beyond canon's panels, the style is incredibly fluid there, sometimes the bodies look more proportionate, but in other cases the characters look tiny, or more realistic in their shapes

like, these kids are so tiny!!! but it works because it's meant to show how young they are when compared to the adults im rambling.

my point is, there's no real "too big" or "too small" when it comes to the head size, but if you want it to look like certain panels, referencing is key! and if referencing doesn't work out, tracing panels and referencing that will give you a more direct example of proportions

Andrew & tattoos

Been working on my redraw of Neil and Andrew from Pride 2021, and I've been inundated with thoughts of Andrew and tattoos.

(Including wonderful thoughts and ideas from people on the aftg big bang discord server)

Some of these will be more specific than others

Andrew gets a whole bunch of tattoos over the years. It's a reclamation of his body, and he likes the look of them, but that doesn't mean he ever gets truly comfortable in the chair. He can't be because there's someone he doesn't trust touching him and stabbing him repeatedly with needles for at least half an hour, but up to six at a time when he sits for bigger pieces. So every time he gets one, someone goes with him. Usually, it's Neil, both because that's who he trusts most and also the convenience of them living together for so long.

The two of them have a few matching tattoos. They have the key to the Columbia house with each other's initials on them. Neil's is over his heart, I'm less certain where Andrew's is. They have matching continuous single-line tattoos of the cats, and they each have roman numeral tattoos of the other's fox number.

In his fifth year, Andrew mentions that he'll be getting a Medusa tattoo. Aaron, who has been quietly researching ways to support SA survivors (which only Katelyn knows about), knows what a Medusa tattoo symbolizes and immediately offers to go with him. Andrew doesn't object and lets him come along. Because Andrew doesn't object to Aaron going to the session with him, neither does Neil, despite assuming he would go with Andrew. He still doesn't get along with Aaron, but he thinks Aaron going with Andrew will be good for them both. Before the session, Neil stops by to tell Aaron what Andrew's favorite tattoo session snacks/treats are and his favorite place to go afterward.

At some point, after he graduates from Palmetto, Andrew gets a tattoo in honor of Betsy. He tells Bee before he gets it, on one of their weekly phone calls and she offers to come with him. At the appointment, Bee surprises him by getting a matching tattoo with him. He gets forget-me-nots surrounded by a bee on his shoulder. She gets hers over her heart, and he gets his on his shoulder so she's always looking out for him. He holds her hand through the entirety of her time in the chair, and she talks to him through the entirety of his. They both quietly laugh at Andrew's choice of the forget-me-nots considering his memory. But if Besty notices that when they are colored they are also the same color as Neil's eyes, she keeps that observation to herself.

Other small one-off thoughts

'Sunrise' and 'death' on his collarbones with a delicate 'A' at the base of his throat

A fox skull surrounded by orange and white gladiolus flowers (strength of character, faithfulness, and remembrance)

A floral bouquet for his family. Edelweiss for Nicky (nobility, devotion, and resilience, also I hc Andrew having a love of musicals.) Magnolias and Dandelions for Aaron (perserverance and resilience.) Thistles for Neil (resilience, strength, determination, protection and pride.) Lotuses for Kevin (Resilience and overcoming adversity)

Barbed wire above where his arm bands end

There's probably more that I'll think of when it's not 1:30 am but that's where I'm stopping for the night

hey guys. remember when I did the second drawing in 2021 and said "this is a redraw but I can't find the original file"?

I found it + __ + the first one is from 2017, second is November 2021.

I don't think I remembered Wilson being as threatening in the first iteration... it sort of makes it seem like in the second one Max has gotten adjusted to the idea that Wilson doesn't trust him...
