Y’all, hear me out:

This is what the colours would want to wear in a modern AU

Don’t look too hard at the shoes. I can’t draw sneakers for shit

Been trying out some sketches to practice anatomy! Kitties <3

super proud of a couple of these poses ^^

(Credits to owlspark on insta & X for the reference)

[xicaxyla]

Not the pinnacle of perfection, but I think I’ve finally figured out how to do decent cat anatomy!

Here’s my warriorsona/catsona, Lemonrest! He/they <3

If they were in the Clans, they would be a Medcat and would live in RiverClan ^^

Don’t ask me about the genetics. Or the breed. Just, cat. Okay?

I finally finished colouring the Witch Hat Atelier cover redraw!

(Threw in every single Procreate effect I knew and then ran …) I think this is the piece I will redraw once in a while with every new thing I’ve learned! Parts of this piece were traced from the original design by Kamome Shirahama, author and artist of the Witch Hat Ateiler series.

The iPad I used to draw this just turned 9 years old. The finished piece looks very different on my newer devices…

The colour scheme was inspired by the atmosphere of Lorule, which I had a good time writing about recently as I was finishing the Act 1 finale of Retired Assets!

The WHA redraw trend was such great fun! So many artists jumped in and made splendid, wonderful art for all our favourite blorbos. It was mind blowing to see the variety of styles being showcased, and the different takes on the same character!

Here, a brief (and painfully incomplete) summary of the artists who have participated. Please tag others not yet on the list if you’d like. Please also reply or DM me if you would like to be removed from the list (My apologies in advance.)

Hello, all!! In the midst of Artfight I have finally managed to draw my interpretation of LU Ravio :D

I like to think if he ever joined the chain for any amount of time he would’ve chosen something more practical to run in.

The reason he has so many scars is 10% because it makes sense when he fought in the war of eras, 20% because I like drawing scars and 70% because I like traumatising my favourite characters.

I’ve never played albw but I love this skrunkly bunny man <3

(Don’t mind the atrocious handwriting)

[xicaxyla]

What a beautiful finished piece! I adore the way you captured his life and the layers he wrapped himself in to protect his remaining youth <3

I finally finished it omg! I got so distracted and forgot about this. Yes it is 2:35 in the morning who cares.

just a helpless maiden~

animation demons took over again oop

progress under cut!

[xicaxyla]

Heeello everyone! I swear I don’t mean to keep disappearing on y’all but I have an excuse this time—!

…a combination of IRL stuff and Artfight preparation—!

I’ve been readying my profile and pumping out character sheets for awhile now, all in preparation for my glorious first Artfight! :D

With July coming up I almost certainly will be even less active here, but I’ll do my best to keep posting the art I make! (I haven’t immediately given up LUDND, I’m still hyperfixated on it and will try to resume after July!)

If you’re interested, feel free to check out my profile and characters!

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

tips for writing a southern accent

contractions are everything. just smash some words together and i guarantee you, someone out there’s said it

y’all = you guys. functions as a plural you.

all’a y’all = all of you, makes sure people know you mean ALL of them

you can get wild from there with things like these:

y’all’re = you all are

y’all’d’ve = you all would have

how’d’ya = how did you/how do you (meaning is implied by context)

and of course, y’ain’t = you are not

ain’t is the same thing as isn’t

you can use ain’t like ‘ain’t it funny?’

but you don’t use isn’t it, it’s usually ‘innit funny?’

wasn’t branches off into weren’t and wudn’t cos we have a tendency to drop the ‘s’

weren’t is usually used with a double negative = “weren’t nothing we could do”

wudn’t is when there’s no double negative = “wudn’t much we could do”

doesn’t branches off into don’t and dudn’t but there’s no rule that i can see for what to use when

‘don’t seem like much of a problem’ is used as often as ‘dudn’t seem like much of a problem’

going back to innit, there’s a tendency to tack an ‘it’ onto the end of words that aren’t already southern slang, this gives you things like innit (isn’t it) and lookit/lookat (used like ‘lookit him over there’)

also you can just straight up drop words if you the meaning can be understood without it

s’okay = it’s okay

‘m = in place of i’m (don’t use this all the time)

s’not = it’s not/is not

dropping more letters! if you can drop the ‘g’ at the end of a verb, that’s good. also, you can drop the ‘d’ from and if you wan’t to use ‘an’ but don’t over saturate your work with it. you can also occasionally drop the ‘t’ from the end of just, ending up with ‘jus’

you can smush together anything that’s asking a question with either you or to

hafta = have to

howta = how to

don’tcha = don’t you

won’tcha = won’t you

or if you want to get REAL southern ‘ain’tcha’ (used like ‘ain’tcha got something else to do’ = isn’t there something else you can do)

also, we have a tendency to not use the word ‘really’ to describe something, instead we use ‘real’

i.e. real big, real mean, real cute as opposed to really big, really mean, really cute

another phrase you can throw in is ‘and all’

used like ‘ain’t safe cos’ of the floodin’ an’ all’

ALSO I FORGOT: you can change anything that ends with a ‘ve’ except for i’ve into an a

shoulda = should’ve

coulda = could’ve

woulda = would’ve

i’da = i would’ve/should’ve/could’ve depending on context

uhh that’s all i can think of for now. if anyone has something to add on, feel free to do it bc i want to help fanfic writers write real southern accents.

Hey, y’all! I’m back with LUDND and 7 pages of brand-new comic!

(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ Now, let’s see if I can actually keep up with updates…haha…

TW/CW: blood and canon-typical violence!

Ta-da!! :D This took me forever already, so if you notice that Wild’s backpack or bow disappears randomly, or the anatomy, Wolfie, or the art in general seems off, just ignore it…please…

[xicaxyla]

Tada! A lil sketch of Vio :D I love him so much.

Unfortunately this didn’t come out quite how I see them in my head, so I’m not quite happy with this. Consider it a concept art!

Don’t ask how the bow and quiver are hanging on their back. It defies physics and is attached by sheer force of will.

[xicaxyla]

I finished the outline to the witch hat atelier chapter 86 trend featuring Wild! I will color this I swear but it will take lots of time as for what I said in my last update. I have finals on May 12-13.

Everyone who I know has done this too: @cokoakeostuff @theegh0st @mizaruwu @nell0-0 @zarvasace @lele5429 @pennbzh @snail-studios @mangopuddingroll @beevvy @harmonysixx @xicaxyla @sage-sometimes-draws
