Y’all know I literally cannot stfu…so here’s a final sketch for the Sweetheart crew before I start lining…wonder who I should start with first…

[raphies-art-blog]

Finally finished the sketch of the Sweetheart crew hopefully I finish by International Women’s Day…but even if I don’t I’ve been working on this since last year January…(in other words it’s just been sitting in my WIPs and I am just now finalizing the sketch…)

I was gonna post it on BlueSky, but I might finish it some day…not anytime soon I don’t think…but it still came out cute…

Still not gonna tag as Shanks or OP because I refuse to be perceived.

Been getting real comfortable just vibing while drawing. Anyway next piece will be Cocoa X Shanks and their usual shenanigans. Something I always loved about Cocoa is that she radiates mad cat energy, so I wanted to use a specific reference pic for them

I’ve had more time practicing Cocoa than I’ve had for Shanks, but I adore how chill I’ve drawn him. Now I just gotta get that flawless red hair right and I’ll be set

Lol took me 5 days to finish (the time lapse was actually 5 hours) but I’ll get faster the more I get back into the swing of things. Also, pretty damn good if I do say so myself, for having never drawn Beckman. I might draw Shanks next or Marco, depending on my mood. But it’ll be another grayscale sketch, like this one.

I was going to post this on my BlueSky, but why do that when I can post this on tumblr instead?

Anyway, I started working on this a few days ago and was supposed to work on a piece everyday for February to stretch my muscles, but after baking three cakes, coating, and decorating them, I’m really tired…and I still have to make bracelets for my coworkers…so it’s been a busy weekend for me. I’m just glad I have three days off instead of two…even if it is the final day. Oh right y’all aren’t here to read me yapping y’all want the sketch

It’s more rough than a dog’s bark rn, but it’s Vanilla and Beckman. At first I was like “nah, just stick to Shanks X Cocoa,” but then I was playing around too much and then I ended up with more OC X Canon ships…this being my second favorite because their stories are so depressing. I love every moment of it. (They’re not even the doomed couple, and they’re still sad af)

After about an hour, I hated how this turned out, but Happy New Year.

A Billion Beri Baby

[raphies-art-blog]

Lol, I’m working on returning to Instagram by doing art everyday to help exercise my reflexes again, but already I’m behind on my own challenge because this first piece is taking forever. Anyway, wanted to share it and reveal a potential series with billion Berri bounty holders. (Like Luffy, Shanks, Law, Crocodile, Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe. I’d only wanna do characters I like, so unfortunately Mihawk, Buggy, and Kidd fans will go without.)

I was gonna show the WIP but I’d rather yap and keep it a secret.

dear young/new/insecure/unsure/hurt/just plain bummed writers and artists: fanfiction and fanart isn’t a competition. your voice and words and your creations have inherent value regardless of your level of skill. art is art. don’t be discouraged please. keep writing, keep creating, keep posting, keep being unapologetically you
