VLD JUMPSCARE OOGABOOGABOOGAAA

Been having a lot of warriors brainrot recently so here’s the vld cast as cats. I even wrote out a whole list of possible names because I couldn’t decide which I liked the most

Like can you believe this shit dawg

[sable-skies]

btw i have a whole doc that is named "lu but in other things" and it includes: what i think they'd be in honkai star rail (element and path), genshin impact (element and weapon), and warrior cat names

I was waiting till you answered but also I really liked your zelda game of thrones au and I'd definitely read a big ol political drama with them mwah😘

AAAWWGAGH THANK YOU!! im so sorry for taking so long to answer this and other asks, ive been busy getting back into college and what not. its funny tho i remembered to answer this because im rewatching it with a friend rn who hasn't seen it

AS FOR THAT AU i'll probably never fully explore it unfortunately, i think im too intimidated by making super long fanworks, especially of that caliber of possible adult and dark themes because im afraid of upsetting people but IM GLAD YOU ENJOYED WHAT I DID MANAGE TO MAKE!! i definitely liked the story i was cooking up in my head, Irving was my favorite btw he's so much fun whehe

honestly i love the idea of taking loz's world and just getting crazy complicated with it. because yeah, i do love the simplicity of hyrule as we've seen it, just a mostly happy kingdom doing their thing, but also man i would love to see the drama of it all.

bonus under the cut, im using this as an excuse to share what i think each link from lu's house would be if they were in game of thrones

i have thought abt this shit for YEARS and only wrote it a few months ago, and now im gonna share it because as im watching the show im just thinking about it again and i might be crazy i might be clawing at the walls AUGHAGA

Twilight would be from House Stark (obviously), Warriors would be from House Lannister, Legend would be from House Targaryen, Sky from House Arryn, Wind possibly from House Greyjoy, Four from House Tyrell, Time from House Baratheon, Hyrule could be a Martell or a Tully, and I never decided one for Wild! Possibly a Stark alongside Twilight..... much to consider.....

unfortunately, the most drawing i've done lately has been doodling headshots of some old characters my friends and I enjoyed throwing at each other and putting in situations.

coyoterush and badgerstar are designed by @mickadamz, coyote has some minor edits from me but nothing major

ibisecho and cranesong were originally designed by @amanyam with later edits by me :]

Fun lil' Anon here!! I have an actual question and a nice message!

Message: I love ur art its amazing and its so cool and cute and fun :3

Question: Can you do a step-by-step thingy of drawing a full body plus the side face you did with your Links Meet AU Art (If yk the pieces im referring to...) Im trying to get better at art and I love your style so I wanna try it out!!

If you're ok with all that I would love that, so thanks a lot!!

Hello hello!! First off, thank you so much!! <33 again, it always mean so much to me that people enjoy my work and my silly little ideas :'']

I can certainly try!! I've been asked to do similar stuff in the past and I'll admit, I'm not much of a teacher because I have a hard time explaining the thought processes in my head, but I will do my best!

Under the cut I will include the timelapse of the sketch and lineart I did in procreate, and then I'll have images going step by step and explaining what I did in each section! (Note: I don't have any color timelapse stuff due to forgetting to record stuff in Clip Studio Paint, that's my bad whoops).

additional note: I actually have sketch + lineart timelapses of all the designs i did, i can potentially post those if anyone is interested in seeing me dick around for 5 minutes as i try to figure out what I'm doing

First off, the timelapse! And I'm using Twilight here as my example because he's just personally my favorite.

It goes pretty quickly, so my apologies if anything is lost there. Thankfully, I save almost all of my works as multi-layered files too so I can go back and edit stuff if need be.

The first two here are the sketches I landed on and liked the most. The first one is much looser and lacking definition, so I went over it in another layer to get more of an idea of what I wanted to do + started to design him more. But you'll see me start to change stuff even in the lineart itself.

The first image here is the lineart as I finished it in procreate, lacking all the text and ideas for now. And the second image is the first pass I took at deciding his colors. I just eyeballed these from his canon design and the LinkedUniverse design because those were two obvious sources of inspiration.

HERE'S THE FUN PART; so I'm very indecisive whenever I color stuff so I'll take forever to find what I'm looking for / what fits the not so clear vision in my head the most. (i have a form of aphantasia, hard to keep images in my head for long)

What i like to do is copy my layers and then edit them with gradient maps, overlays, mess with the saturation, brightness, etc. It's a bit of digital hoarding but comparing the edits I've made to the first version is always nice and helps me keep my options open if need be, I also like to share my progress with friends for opinions so its good for that too. If you have anyone willing to, sharing multiple options and getting as many opinions as you can I think is a good practice! Thankfully some of my friends are big into design as well so it's fun to bounce ideas between each other.

Here are the final four. In the first image here I think I just edited the lines and added some color into some of them so they were all stark black. The next I added in some details on top of everything sorta-rendering style. Completely overhauled some bits in the third and fixed the profile head's proportions as best as I could, and the last one is simply the greyscale version of everything.

While deciding colors I keep a completely white layer on top of everything and set to the blend mode "color", and i switch this on and off just to check how the values are comparing to each other and if anything needs changed. looking at this now, i realize the belt across his chest and the tunic color are very similar, but thankfully the hues are so different that I think they don't blend all that much.

But generally this is how my process breaks down: sketch, second sketch (optional), lineart, color, color adjustment, merging it all together, final rendering adjustments, final product. my newer works have started to lean into this post lineart and color rendering thing more, I used to be really particular about making sure everything had a layer and was organized. nowadays, i just merge shit and start drawing on top of it (maybe i'm getting old, maybe i'm 23, who knows)

but yeah thats pretty much it! if you have any further questions and what not, feel free to ask! i'm a certified yapper myself so I don't mind typing out long shit like this.

Can we get a transparent png version of shadow :0

[sable-skies]

i love your art it gives me a nostalgic 2000s lisa frank vibes

THIS IS LITERALLY IN MY BRAIN ALWAYS FOREVER I THINK i apologize for the late response on this, but this is one of the best thing i've ever been told in my life THANK YOU AUGGHAA

[sable-skies]

i love when a character has something terrible happen to them and as a result they see themself as, essentially if not literally, a ghost. and so that means they only can (and have to) do what ghosts do, ie get revenge and then cease to exist. easy as that. but then halfway through this ghost vengeance they realize hey actually i might still be a human person. with human needs. that’s incredibly inconvenient, considering how much i’ve invested in this whole ghost thing
