Guess it’s about time I broke the news on this blog, too. The thought of potentially having my data sold on to 300+ companies with no option to opt out is really stressing me out. That being said, I’m really not sure if I want to post any more art here. This blog will be here to stay no matter what, but if you want to catch any of my new stuff, go check out Sofstar_art on Twitter, or Sofstar on DeviantArt!
HM well that settles it, I’m going to leave Tumblr
Of course just when this data nonsense looked bad, in True Tumblr Fashion it got even worse
It’ll be gradual, I won’t be leaving immediately! I’ll start unfollowing people except for the little group that’s kept me here so long in the first place. I’ll still be reblogging fanart for a while to leave comments in tags and stuff, but I’m going to try and quiet down my presence here and move to Twitter like I should have done like a year ago
Here’s my new Twitter again (Sofstar_art) for anyone who wants to follow me there!
#I'll probably only be keeping my Tumblr to keep up with a few close friends and my favourite blogs#other than that I want to limit my presence here as much as possible#I don't know what I want to do about posting art here........ we'll see

Started a paired cosplay run with a friend ft. Leonhard and Heysel! So here’s a few extremely quick and lazy doodles based on (mostly) true events of our adventures so far
#I'm Heysel and I LOVE HER#We just spam the proper bow / applause gestures respectively it's fantastic#We went running through Ariandel for a bit super underlevelled#We bullied the gravetender with backstabs and chip damage for a while but died as soon as the giant wolf joined in;;;#My friend also ended up invading me while we were both doing invasions at Farron keep#I won that duel ¬u¬#Overall our duels so far have been pretty evenly split between us though#IT'S BEEN GREAT FUN SO FAR#sketch#hhh do I want to put these super lazy doodles in the tag#probably not--#I might try a proper drawing of the two of them.....

I finally got around to making an arcane build in BB, so here she is with her friends!!
I haven’t found her very good blood gems yet so she doesn’t hit very hard, but she tries her best. She wanders around the chalice dungeons helping out any hunters she comes across
#me: ok I have work to do I should work on that#also me: hey you know??? what you haven't done for like a month??? draw. you should draw something now. now's a good time to draw.#Bloodborne#Ilona#that's her name#I was going to give her the choir garb initially but like....#e v e r y o n e gives their lumenwoods the choir garb--#so she wasn't very Fashion Souls for a while as I tried to decide what she would wear#AND THEN I REMEMBERED THE MADMAN SET EXISTS#she has names for all the phantasms they're like her unruly children#I don't know which ends are the head and tail of the Kos parasite#does it have a head and tail????#I don't know which one is best to use of the standard one the lost one or the uncanny one#I have all three;;;#ask to tag??#cauliflower????#slugs???????#Idk how to tag her#body horror#??????????

I think I understand why I like these two so much now
#Fire Emblem Fates#Dark Souls 3#Ryoma#Nameless King#I was hit by this realisation and was very suddenly compelled to share it#I probably shouldn't be posting this on my art blog but here it is anyway :V#I'll draw something seriously again one day#one day.........#side note#I love how Ryoma's supposed to be all Big and Powerful looking#but everyone looks so tiny next to NK

I need a new icon for my main blog so uhhhh here he is
(I can’t imagine why anyone else would want this lazy thing as their icon but on the off chance you exist out there somewhere, you can use it as long as you 1) let me know and 2) give proper credit to this blog where it’s easily seen k thanks I’ll be checking)
#Dark Souls#Dark Souls 3#Nameless King#This was very lazy#but I haven’t sat down to draw anything in weeks and you’ll only ever see it small anyway hAH#I didn't want to draw him hollow because#because it's sad--#I haven't actually drawn him hollow at all yet uhhhhh#Also sorry for inactivity that's why I'm posting this--#I still can't stop playing Soulsborne online

Been thinking about pre-horse Ludwig again, so here’s a few sketches with a sprinkling of headcanons ft. baby Cavalier before he became the Cavalier, teeny tiny Laurence, and badly drawn Logarius
Ludwig’s outfit changes every time I draw it
#He's not wearing his hat today he forgot it at home#Bloodborne#Ludwig the Holy Blade#The Cavalier#OC#Laurence the first vicar#Martyr Logarius#Although I'll probably come up with a different design for past Logarius at some point#because he probably didn't grow his long flowing locks and wizard's beard until he got stuck at the castle#or at least most of it#be nice to your boss Loggy he's had a bad day#a bad several days#a bad several weeks--#two of these sketches are old but I thought I'd put them all together anyway#the shaded ones and the last one are the new ones#Cav looks nothing like Cav without his beard kHEK--#Ludwig was his hero before everything went to hell

Holy shit, I just recently found you and I absolutely love your Bloodborne art, especially of sad horse man Ludwig!
GOODNESS, WHATThat's unbelievably sweet of you, I've never gotten a message like this before;; Ludwig's a mess and I always have a lot of fun drawing him. Thank you so much! ;u;

So... can I ramble for a bit about my favourite part of Ludwig’s design?
His face is quite clearly divided in half, with the left-hand side being more ‘‘‘‘human’’’’, and the right being considerably more beastly. This extends beyond just his face, too; there’s that great big eye-mouth on the right of his neck for a start, his right forearm is covered in longer fur, and his right hand is bigger and has much longer claws. He holds his sword, the very thing that brought him back out of beasthood, in his left hand (hooray for lefty Ludwig!), and maybe it’s just me, but his left eye looks like it clears up a bit in his second phase, too.
But it’s how each half is presented in-game that I think is really cool. In his first phase, he tends to hold his head at an angle and close to the ground, so you can only really see its right-hand side - his ‘beast’ side. But then in the cutscene that plays between phases, the only side of his face that’s shown is the left side, showing that he’s human again. At the battle’s end, his head is on the ground resting right-side-up as he gives his last few lines of dialogue, before falling back into beasthood for good. In the words of our good friend Simon - the poor brute...
#Bloodborne#Ludwig the Holy Blade#I could go on about how this could extend to people's mixed views of him back when he was human#or how it could tie in to how he was both 'led' and 'misled' by the light of his sword#symbolism and all that#but I think this is too long anyway so I'll just leave it at that;;#His legs don't count for this theory because they're just a great big mess#even more of a great big mess than the rest of him#which is quite an achievement#Anyway I love this great big sad ugly old horse man#even though I was absolutely sick of drawing teeth by the end of this hAH#body horror

I was fighting some church giants the other day, and as I thought about how their outfits could be similar to what Ludwig’s looked like, I came to the very sudden realisation that I’ve never seen anyone draw him in a hat. Ever.
So here he is.
With a hat.
#Bloodborne#Ludwig the Holy Blade#It looked a bit weird at first but it's grown on me??#Every respectable Yharnam hunter needs a hat. That's the rules.#Also big influences from the executioner set on the rest of his outfit because I love it--#Anyway hello everyone this is my revised ugly old man Ludwig (sans horse)#He's got a wrinkly forehead and a big scarred nose and a lazy eye#I keep seeing young pretty Ludwigs running around and that's fine but#please consider????#please let him keep his big crooked nose?????#But yeah I'm still here! Just busy with exam revision;;;#I've had almost no time to draw anything recently..........#I'm working on a better human Ludwig drawing too but that one's going to take a lot longer;;#Also more beast Ludwig drawings but you know#water is wet#It's pretty safe to assume I'm always drawing more beast Ludwig

I know, I know, uploading Inktober drawings at the end of November is bad, but I haven’t had time until now-- I think it’s about time I accepted that I’m not going to get to the end of it this year ^^;;
Here’s Kos and the last few that I didn’t quite finish anyway, with Eve for ‘Furious’, Link at the Dueling Peaks for ‘Trail’, and Chappy for ‘Blind’ =u=b
#Bloodborne#NieR: Automata#Legend of Zelda#Breath of the Wild#Kos#Eve#Oedon chapel dweller#Link#Inktober 2017#at least I have the dignity of wrapping it up before December;;#Eve turned out horribly but I can't be bothered fixing him ughgh#and yeah I was too lazy to even come up with an original pose--#I'm pleased with the others though =w=#I've had an insanely busy last three weeks and it's probably going to carry on into December;;#soooooo ya I think it's about time I laid my first Inktober to rest#onward to new drawings!#............. in-between exam revision;;;#I was planning on drawing Eileen again for the last one#to like... wrap it up all poetically by having her as the first and last drawing#but uhhhhh yeah#I guess that's not happening--#I'll draw her again someday though

Next two prompts, featuring a good but very bloody hunter, and Papa Nier cloudgazing with Emil!
....... what a contrast
#Inktober2017#Bloodborne#NieR Gestalt#the good hunter#Nier#Father Nier#Emil#Grimoire Weiss#Kaine#cloudgazing of course is too soft for Kainé#so she went off to find some shades to kill#Weiss fell asleep#the hunter can never keep herself clean for long#you try to keep blood off her for five minutes but it's impossible#I doubt Cav and co. have ever seen her without any blood on her#ever#Also I have absolutely no idea what to do for day 20 please help--#the best I have right now is Oceiros?#Because he has a deep voice and I've been meaning to draw him anyway??#But that doesn't fit the prompt nearly as well as I would want it to????#And I've already drawn Aldritch so I don't want it to be him again--#and I don't want to draw the Deacons of the Deep I don't care about them enough--#Maybe Kos but..... she's........ hard to draw.........................#uggghhhhhhh I don't knoooooooooooow
