i've spent nearly 47 hours over the last ten days drawing nothing but kiana (and hov)
yeah.
anyways, since I've had about enough of drawing Kiana for the rest of my life (/hj) I'm gonna put a pause on this project; but I'll turn it from a sprint into a marathon and try and work on it occasionally instead of all at once
I want to draw other things again x-x
Close-ups of the drawings below, as well as the reference image set, and some other misc. thoughts
.
Portraits drawn from imagination
Started the process by trying to draw Kiana's head from imagination; then after each drawing I'd pause, look at some references, see what mistakes I made, then put away the references and drew from imagination (and referring to previous drawings) again. I also took breaks at two points to practice drawing eyes & hair before going back to drawing Kiana
For the last 4 portraits, I'd draw a head from imagination as a warm-up to a drawing session, and then do another head much later on instead of doing it immediately. Around halfway through this "phase" I started the other phases at random points, and finished this portion of the process in the first ~10-15 hours of drawing time. The rest of the time was split across the other exercises
Also I gave her an angry expression because I felt it was the easiest for me to do from memory since I've drawn HoV more than just "Kiana" herself. I also used a boring level 3/4 view without much perspective because it forced me to really make sure I was doing everything accurately and with care.
Basically my thinking was that if I could make a boring level 3/4 portrait look good enough, then I'd have no trouble getting it to look good in other perspectives. That seemed to be true when I got to the stage where I was doing expression practice and had to deal with more head tilt and other perspectives, lol
.
Studies of still images from screenshots of gameplay, character art, and stills from animated shorts
Did rough sketches first, then drew with solid color over the sketches on a separate layer. not much else to say here, lol
.
Full-bodies
Started with an anatomy model loosely based on the proportions of Kiana's in-game model, and then two attempts at doing full-body drawings from imagination before realizing that it's bloody insane to try and do that much detail from imagination and I have much better things to do with my life than that x-x
.
Color studies
yaaaay color! yippee!
.
Action sketches/"gesture" drawings
"Gesture" is in quotes because I was way too slow with these for it to really count as proper gesture drawing, imo. But the intention was to start with gesture, and I got closer to that as I went on.
It's way too tempting to start adding detail so I had to metaphysically slap myself with a frying pan to keep myself from getting derailed by that >.>
To get references for this, I did screen recording of gameplay on the PC with OBS studios, then used DaVinci Resolve to play back the recordings.
On PC, when using the mouse controls you can hold the camera fairly still when doing an attack sequence, making it awesome for getting unique angles. For instance, when I recorded Void Drifter's attacks, I was able to get at least 4 different PoVs of her attacks: from the left, the right, behind & above, and in front & below.
Unfortunately, though, it was a bit of a hassle to get good recordings because I had to go into an actual combat stage to record it instead of being able to use an empty testing stage.
With DaVinci Resolve I could "split" clips to make cuts in the timeline that let me easily mark the spots where different attack sequences started, and I could also easily play it in .5x speed to help me figure out how the animations were going from one set of frames to another.
Plus if you close the program after saving, when you open it up again it remembers which frame you were last on and takes you straight there, making it easy to continue from one day to another.
I used White Comet, Herrscher of the Void, and Void Drifter attack animations here, but I also did recordings of Knight Moonbeam and Herrscher of Flamescion, and I might give those a try someday.
.
Facial expressions practice
Started with the set of rough sketches (first image), then did some expression practice from imagination (second and third images) to try and get used to how the proportions of the face change slightly with movement of the eyebrows/eyelids/jaw, since the shape of the eyes and mouth is especially important when doing stylized faces (like the anime style that HI3rd uses)
Then this morning I started working through the original rough sketches and developing them one-by-one, getting through 8 before I decided to call it quits and wrap up the project for now
So the facial expression practice pretty much the culmination of all my practice. All the practice with proportions, the contours & forms of the hair, monochromatic shading, line quality, shape design, etc.
This was also one of the few times I've ever taken stylized references and actually adapted them to some extent instead of directly copying them!
This is especially noticeable in the hair, where I used a more standard style for the hair, in contrast with the variety of hairstyles and shapes used in the various manga references (i.e. black-and-white Escape from Nagazora Kiana's messy hair vs the neat and solid hair in the colored Gratitude Arc, AE Invasion, and Moon Shadow Kiana)
.
Reference images
#kiana kaslana#herrscher of the void#never doing this again /j#for real though this was honestly pretty amazing practice#I've long struggled with blending my traditional art skills with my digital art aspirations#i have literally hundreds of hours of studio time drawing with charcoal and paper but nowhere near as much time drawing digitally#basically if you give me a photo of a real person or a live model I'd do better than if I were drawing an anime or game character#I think I learned a lot about working from stylized references while still using my realistic-human anatomy knowledge#I was having trouble with that when doing some studies of Sushang (hsr ver) the other day and this was directly inspired by that struggle#honkai impact 3rd#honkai 3rd#hi3rd#honkai fanart#honkai impact#this practice was meant to address that!

#day to day#so one of my friends who is particularly into photography and also definitely much more driven to push themself to learn and practice thing#recently mentioned that they were thinking of starting digital art with a tablet and using some tutorials#and a part of me that i do admit gets a little competitive or jealous of even my friends a tiny bit was like#IF I DON'T PRACTICE MY OWN DIGITAL ART SKILLS I'LL BE LEFT IN THE DUST I GOTTA ALSO PRACTICE#so i decided to face my fear of coloring anything ever and the fact that i've never fully colored anything#and i used this reference that i shamefully confess came from an old p*nt*rst pin#using colorpicking bc i tried to eyeball it but i was getting deterred by how wrong the colors looked#colorpicking gave me the confidence to introduce big swaths of color even if they initially felt wrong#and then i started using the CSP tools available to me to blend and alter what i put down#lineart was all freehanded the major reference used here was ofc the pose and model but especially the colors on the image#but i'm really quite happy in the end and i want to keep practicing like this until i'm more confident with my color picking!

10 model-approved beauty secrets 💄



here will be a list of 10 beauty secrets i've learned from a model who's been in the industry for over 10 years and also studied from some of our beloved top name models in the industry. we all love good beauty hacks and tips that won't take much effort or drain our pockets. so here are the secrets.. :
LESS IS MORE. less enhances rather than overwhelms. opt for a lightweight foundation of your choice, such as charlotte tilbury or a skin tint, like fenty beauty to avoid cakey makeup. and effortless elegance, looking without seeming overly done, makes you feel beautiful and is truly captivating. — think "clean girl aesthetic" or "french beauty" philosophy. this is also good for skin health, too many products may be bad for your skin.
daily facial massages and sculpting. using a guasha, jade roller, face roller, etc. has many beauty benefits beyond just self-care. using these tools on your face daily can reduce puffiness, lift and tone facial features, deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin, giving it a natural, radiant glow. try massaging your face daily with your knuckles and apply a serum your skin likes.
jewelry is the way to enhance any look. jewelry adds polish without trying too hard, it enhances features, earrings highlight cheekbones, necklaces draw attention to the collarbone, rings add elegance to hand gestures.
try not to draw on brows. this beauty secret says that you should only fill in the sparse areas of your brows, outline, and blend. harsh or overly defined brows can make your facial features look rigid. try brow gels, powders, or even a light-handed pencil. do what you love but it's all about technique.
rub ice over your face before applying makeup. this beauty hack is good for those with oily skin. the ice minimizes pores, reduces puffiness and redness, and helps makeup last longer. wrap the the ice cube in a cloth or use an ice roller.
wear almond, oval, or short square nails. these nail shapes are universally flattering and effortlessly elegant. they are versatile for any style, whether you prefer minimal or bold nail art, or even french tip nails are a classic in beauty. very low maintenance and can still do everyday tasks while looking polished.
use castor oil to help grow your lashes. castor oil is rich in nutrients and deeply conditioning, with tons of growth benefits and non-chemical. use a clean spoolie or cotton swab to apply a thin layer before bed.
let concealer sit for 2-3 minutes before blending. letting the concealer marinate gives fuller coverage and grips the skin better. use this technique for under eye circles and blemishes.
find a makeup routine that enhances your natural features. celebrate your unique beauty instead of masking it! a more natural look is lower maintenance, feeling comfortable and fresh. opt for cream products, lightweight foundation, tinted moisturizer, and apply concealer only where needed.
skincare is EVERYTHING. skincare is important because it lays the foundation for healthy, radiant skin and confidence. when your skin is properly cared for, it helps with everything—texture, hydration, barrier strength, and even long-term anti-aging benefits.

Astro Notes
🌞 Sun in the 6H — The Sun in the house of labor, illness, and service directs your vitality toward structure and hard work. You are driven to find purpose and recognition in environments of routine and functionality. This position speaks of leadership through service, but there is also a call to rise above being underappreciated or overworked. Your life path is defined by crafting stability in often overlooked spaces.
🌙 Moon in the 8H — The Moon here ties your emotional life to themes of shared resources, death, and deep transformation. Your instincts are heightened when dealing with the unseen or emotional undercurrents of others. You might feel a constant tension between security and uncertainty, but this grants you a unique ability to rebuild from loss. Subtle emotional mastery develops as you navigate hidden realms of intimacy and power.
🗣 Mercury in the 5H — Mercury shines in this house of pleasure and creativity, giving you a lively mind for joyful expression. Artistic, romantic, or recreational endeavors thrive under your ability to weave intellect into fun. You communicate with wit and charm, making you skilled at teaching or storytelling. Romantic pursuits may unfold around shared humor or stimulating conversations.
💖 Venus in the 6H — Venus in the house of duty brings grace and charm to your daily habits. You value harmony in work and practical environments, often excelling in professions related to wellness, aesthetics, or partnerships. This placement makes it easy to form positive collaborations, but you might need to guard against becoming overly attached to routines or acts of service as your only source of pleasure.
🔥 Mars in the 6H — Mars here energizes and agitates themes of labor and routine. Hardworking and disciplined, you tackle challenges with focus but may face conflicts in work or health-related areas. This placement thrives in environments demanding precision and endurance but can push too far into stress or burnout. Success comes through learning to channel your drive without depleting your energy.
💫 Jupiter in the 4H — Your foundation is imbued with abundance and expansion. A fortunate home life or strong cultural ties may support your growth. This placement often points to a joyful upbringing or a prosperous inheritance, whether literal or symbolic. You feel most fulfilled when nurturing your roots and creating a sanctuary for yourself or others.
⏳ Saturn in the 8H — Saturn brings gravity to matters of shared wealth and the mysteries of life. You face karmic lessons in accepting the limits of control in financial or transformative circumstances. Through steady diligence, you develop mastery in managing the boundaries of resources and intimacy. Inheritance or debts, both literal and metaphorical, may present challenges that ultimately forge resilience.
⚡ Uranus in the 7H — Relationships are avenues of change and awakening. Your partnerships often involve unconventional dynamics or sudden turns, pushing you to redefine connection and freedom. You may be drawn to partners who challenge societal norms, and you inspire those around you by modeling individuality within commitment.
🌊 Neptune in the 7H — A dreamy quality surrounds your unions, blending love with ideals and sometimes illusions. This placement highlights spiritual and creative partnerships, but discernment is key to avoiding disillusionment. True fulfillment arises when connections allow for shared higher vision without losing clarity or authenticity.
🗝 Pluto in the 5H — Creative and romantic expressions carry depth and intensity. You experience transformation through your pursuit of joy, often finding that the most meaningful moments come after profound change or loss. Whether through art, children, or love, you approach these areas with a powerful magnetism that leaves lasting impacts.
🦋 Chiron in the 3H — Early struggles with communication or learning fuel your eventual mastery in these areas. You might serve as a guide to others, offering wisdom on finding one's voice or bridging divides. Vulnerability becomes a strength, making your insights resonate deeply.
🌿 Ceres in the 10H — Your nurturing gifts influence your public reputation or career. People see you as a caretaker or a provider, often turning to you for support in times of need. Professional fulfillment lies in roles that allow you to nourish others or grow something meaningful.
🛡 Pallas in the 8H — Your strategies shine in the realm of transformation and shared power. You excel at navigating complex emotional or financial terrains with clarity and ingenuity. This placement suggests a gift for guiding yourself and others through shadow work or difficult but necessary changes.
💍 Juno in the 4H — Deep commitment to home and family defines your partnerships. Your closest bonds are shaped by shared roots or a mutual goal of creating emotional security. Marriage or long-term unions may play out with themes of loyalty tied to domestic life.
🔥 Vesta in the 9H — Your dedication to truth and exploration defines your life’s sacred purpose. Whether through higher learning, spiritual journeys, or philosophical pursuits, you treat these endeavors with reverence. You are fueled by a desire to seek and embody wisdom.
🌀 Node in the 5H — Your destiny pulls you toward embracing joy, passion, and creation. Past tendencies to focus on group dynamics or intellectual detachment are now transformed through personal, heartfelt expression. Growth comes through tapping into your ability to inspire through love and art.
🐍 Lilith in the 10H — Lilith's placement here marks your public image with raw, defiant energy. Others may view your career or reputation as unorthodox, even rebellious, and you might find yourself challenging the expectations society places on you. This is a powerful placement for claiming authenticity, but it may come at the price of being misunderstood. Through embracing your unique vision, you become a force others cannot ignore.
🍀 Fortune in the 11H — Prosperity flows through your connections with groups and shared ideals. Alliances and friendships often lead to unforeseen blessings, with luck arising when you collaborate on collective endeavors. Engaging with like-minded communities opens doors to fulfillment and opportunity.

i wanna see the slytherin boys and a muggle reader who loves to crochet things for then and gift them crochet stuff ♡♥︎♡
SLYTHERIN GUY'S REACTION TO YOU CROCHETING THEM STUFF | ✧⁺。



Pairing : (Mattheo , Tom , Theodore, Lorenzo, Draco) x reader
Notes : lmao this one is actually kinda cute and very fluffy , tysm for the request and I hope you like it!! Each one is getting a different crochet stuff so yeah :)
Also if you can plz lmk which reaction y'all liked the most or which guy's part you like the most in whatever reaction you read on my blog so I can write in a similar way 🧸🧸
Warnings : none coz this is pure fluff ><
MATTHEO RIDDLE
Bro is constantly annoying you and trying to get your attention while you crochet . He'd be trying all sorts of stuff like making funny faces or litteraly picking you up , but you'd scold him if you loose the thread and he'd look like a kicked puppy :) After you're done you'd hand him a scarf , similar to your house colors so that if he wears it outside it'll blend with the uniform .
He would be all like "i can't wear that out darling" And when you'd ask why he'd say that he's too manly to wear something cutesy like that and that he has an image to maintain . The next day you'd catch him wearing it while he smoked with his friends 🕺🏻
TOM RIDDLE
Mr marvalo has no reaction whatsoever when you hand him the cute crocheted bunny . He'd just nod and put it in his pocket kissing your head . Doesn't utter a single word . He finds it ridiculous - ridiculously cute but he throws the thought as soon as it comes . He'd rather be called a Hufflepuff than admit that he finds something cute coz pfttt?!?
He's a smartass though so he'd make that bunny - a horcrux . It's the first thing you made by yourself and he loves it so dearly that he splits his soul for it , besides who are you kidding no one would suspect a crocheted bunny to be the dark lord's horcrux .
THEODORE NOTT
He has a greatt fashion sense (that's something for being an Italian man y'all ) and he absolutely . loves . when you crochet him stuff . You often make him sweaters and gloves and he proudly wears it , his style adding charm to your stuff .
He also boasts it to his friends . Believe it or not he'd kinda have a fashion show upon everyone's request . He'd have a blank face (his resting bitch face) while he walks a straight line towards the couch filled by his friends , showing off the knitted sweater pretending to be a model as you laugh with mattheo . Also makes you stand up at last for credits offcourse.
LORENZO BERKSHIRE
My guy is in absolute love with you and tries to engage in everything you do so when you gift him a crocheted bouquet , he firstly squeaks like a girl upon recieving it and then tries to make a bouquet for you aswell . Him trying to learn crochet is like a love letter to you .
But in the process of making it , he turns it into a competition 😭😭 when he finshes making it and all your lovey dovey stuff is over he'd joke that his bouquet is better than yours ( it wasn't.) Also hattsoff to him because he bears all the teasing of his friends trying to make it for you . Pure gentlemen istg uggh
DRACO MALFOY
He doesn't like muggle things so he'd go blabbering about why you're doing it on your own when he can just sway a hand and it will be made by itself. ( So much for having a magic wand little boy 😒) Would be grumbling and yapping for HOURS and would finally shut up when you shove his miniature crocheted version in his face .
He be sooo shocked , stuttering and fumbling with his words . Heart eyes for real . Would absolutely love it and he'd keep it with him all the time , he loves you and well his mini self aswell .
。 ✧ ⁺ 。

I upgraded my Toon Boom from Advanced to the Premium version and took some lessons to learn the nodes system and THIS IS HARD XD
But it's really interesting and I have to get used to the nodes for work anyway now, so working hard to keep learning ahah. The storyboard images were real deleted boards from the show (so not drawn by me), I have a bunch more but I'm pretty much doing an exercise to re animate some of those deleted boards and I'll see if I can blend them in seamlessly in the show (I also saved some of the music suites from Youtube, so far it's working just fine) I have some voice actors doing dialogue for these too :) The scenes will also have backgrounds, I just haven't drawn them yet.
I wanted to have something I could post before my big episode that could also be an animation exercise from me so my channel isn't dead for almost a year lol. The other one I'm working on now is the alternate version from the "The trees there are green" scene from Eclipse Lake. I'm trying to re animate the movement from the show but changing the dialogue and the poses very slightly to match the storyboards more, I know it's not super creative but it's a really good practice thing to do.






(This one is VERY unfinished still - those hair lines are killing me lmao)
I'm also recording my animating process for these, but also to put as a disclaimer : I'm using the storyboards as a main guide like this but as you can see the boards aren't exactly on model so I'm eyeballing the actual show as reference and I'm re drawing the frames from the show from scratch (I have a ref from the show playing on the side)
So for example here his scars will look like they do in Eclipse Lake and not like they did in the storyboards etc. For the King's Tide one above I kept the line under his eye because I felt like it still worked and also added a lot to the expression
I will post my full process video etc after I finish all those scenes :)

Batman #363


(The first image cuts off if you don't click on it)
(Also the second image.. hearing her say bye when she doesn't even know you're there and immediately says that...)
Detective Comics #543





Some of the panels!
i'm thinking again about that post that went like "maybe i just have sexual abuse goggles but it baffles me how much subtext gets ignored and denied", this time in the context of natalia knight/nocturna and her relationship with anton, the older son of the man who adopted her. thinking about his obsession with her and how it's linked to her appearance, about how he's said to be the one initially putting the pressure on her to join the family's criminal activities, about how he jealously attacks and even kills men who show interest in her. about how he becomes hostile in the face of rejection (a rejection that comes because natalia finds out he's become a killer), and how this culminates in anton murdering natalia.
i'm thinking about how, yes, these aren't exactly well-known or popular characters (certainly not outside a very specific niche), but i have never seen anyone else explicitly calling this an abusive relationship.
(and i'm once again pissed off about how caped crussader adapted their story to be about a ~devoted older brother to a monstrous, child-killing vampire girl who Tried Really Hard To Stop Her From Killing People but got ~tragically killed in the way).
#-sees a guy flirting with Nocturna touching her. her not touching back#-detours reuniting with nocturna to kill the guy#-she adopts a son while youre away (because she does not know anton is free and likely expects him to remain in prison awhile)#(and she was trying to lure bruce to fund her life and addiction with extravagance and luxury)#like sure 80s comic woman cant do work whatever but like. you get me if i say it sounds like she was dependent on him#theyre very first interaction hes laying on the idea of the money running out and him helping n they do crime together#and like... its a short set of panels but something about her nocturna herself doesn't mention the money running dry.#shes more focused on the fact hes dead. and that shes learned hes was criminal#anton swoops in. saying his charles son (connection to charles who just died) saying they can do crime together (nat idolizes charles)#and like awah. thinking this out i do very feel anton encouraged her love of luxury#i mean. in all those flashbacks the only jewelry she has on is a small simple bracelet#what im trying to say she was at a very vulnerable time in her life and grieving and questioning and anton rolled in and took advantage#to have and keep her#along with like the jealousy. trying to guilt her. possessiveness. violence. so on#on something im kinda sleepy rn#i think if left to her own devices she wouldnt have turned to extravagance and crime#she worked in the observatory until it shut down or something. shes definitely knowledgeable in a field like that#if you wamt her to focus on beauty she probably couldve been a model#maybe even a pilot. anything of the night is what one must focus. esp if its after her accident#because her skin is sensitive tobthe sun#i still think scientist of a sort tho. let her have her night. and myabe her hot air balloon#edit i do think she is like entirely capable of being a successful thief on her Own. shes very much able to fight and has the ability#to blend into the darkness/people assume shes a ghost#amd yet she always gets someone to do the physical work for her#and thats fun to think about on a dependence angle

post crash curly SEX!!!!!!! he’s in recovery pls he had skin and prosthetics pls.. 😢
i like to pretend like crispy curly doesn't exist LMAO um wanted to do my own spin on this cw for body horror kinda!!
You wanted to throw up the first time you saw him.
You stand there in the doorway of his hospital room, watching the myriad of doctors and nurses fawning around him, calling his skin grafting procedure a "medical miracle", a "scientific revolution."
You don't give a fuck about any of that. He doesn't look like Curly anymore. Or he does, but only like someone sculpted him out of wax, using a blurry polaroid as a reference. It's him, but it's not.
When he turns to you and smiles that same giant beam, one eye real and the other fake, you just stare back. You don't know what to say or do, your mind just completely blanks.
You get closer for a better look, passing your fingers over his shortened hair. The sparkle in his eyes is dimmed like someone's thrown a lampshade over it. The joints in his prosthetic fingers click and whir as he covers your hand with his own. You hold back the emotions clawing up your throat.
You'll get used to it. You will.
The first time you touch him after his surgery, it's out of reluctance and mild curiosity. How will it work with the new prosthetics? Curly can't speak much, his jaw suffered severe trauma— from what, you don't know. It's a slow trudge to get him to string along words.
His skin feels like skin but it clearly isn't. It's too rubbery and cold and you swear you feel it slip against him at times— like he's a taxidermy model with a hide stretched over him.
He only eats blended, soft foods, something about solid food makes him recoil, his pupils shrink to tiny blue pinpricks and he starts to wheeze. Curly's lungs are still mending, but he coughs like a smoker, each breath has the echoes of a held-back choke, making every inhale an uphill battle.
So when you touch him for the first time, it's gentle. You're opening him up to this, just as much as you're getting yourself used to what he's become. It's still Curly, under all those synthetic parts and metal fibers.
His skin stretches into his usual smile, but it looks uncanny in the dim lighting. You grab his cock, one of the few natural parts of him. The skin is leathery and healed over. Curly croaks out a moan, he seems to be enjoying himself. The usual tells that you've grown used to are buried under layers of prosthetics and unhealed trauma.
This is all so new to you, you have to learn his body all over again. Some parts are more sensitive and some have lost feeling entirely. You kiss him, your teeth meet with an awkward click.
A part of you is afraid you'll never find the old him again. You stroke him gingerly, worried that he'll shatter like porcelain. He spills over your fist in watery streaks, buttery eyelashes fluttering shut as he exhales.
Curly's eyes open to look at you, the real windows to his soul. And they're brimming with so much affection that you're willing to give this a shot. It's going to be a long process for him to heal, but you'll stay by his side.
It'll work itself out.

Lessons in Anatomy
Charles Leclerc x medical student!Reader
Summary: studying can be hard … good thing your boyfriend is more than happy to let you get some hands-on experience
You let out a heavy sigh as you flip through the anatomy textbook in front of you. As a first year medical student, you’ve been spending most late nights recently trying to memorize every muscle, nerve, and blood vessel in the human body.
Lately you’ve been completely absorbed in learning about the upper limbs — the shoulders, arms, hands and fingers — and it’s all starting to blend together.
Closing the textbook, you stand up and stretch your arms above your head, feeling the pull in your deltoids and biceps. You’ve read so much about the muscles, it might help to actually palpate and feel where they are on your own body.
You lift your right arm out to the side until it’s parallel with the floor, palm facing down. Gently, you place your left hand on your right deltoid and feel the round contour of the muscle. You trace your fingertips along the borders, visualizing how the muscle attaches on the humerus bone.
“What are you doing?”
You jump at the sound of your boyfriend’s voice behind you. Lost in thought, you didn’t hear him come home.
“Oh, I’m just, uh, palpating my deltoid muscle,” you say sheepishly as you drop your arm back to your side. “Trying to get a feel for where the muscles actually are.”
Charles grins, his bright green eyes twinkling with amusement at finding you in such an odd pose. “My talented girlfriend, always studying so hard,” he says.
You can’t help but smile back at him. The two of you met in school years ago, long before Charles became an F1 driver and your life became a whirlwind of travel, media attention, and hardly getting to see each other when coupled with your own studies. Moments like this — relaxed, easy, normal — have become few and far between.
Charles walks over to you and surprises you by taking your hand and placing it onto his upper arm.
“Here, feel mine instead so you don’t have to contort yourself,” he offers. “I’ll be your anatomy model.”
You laugh lightly and begin palpating the hard, defined muscles of his arm through his thin t-shirt. You locate the boundaries of his deltoid, impressed by the athletic development.
“Very nice delts,” you say teasingly.
“Why thank you, I work out sometimes,” Charles replies with a cheeky wink.
You roll your eyes but can’t hide your smile. His playful arrogance is one of the things you love most about him.
Slowly, you map out the contours of his shoulder, mentally labeling the muscles — supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor. Charles watches your focused expression with affection.
“How’s it going so far?” He asks. “Am I a good model?”
“Mmhmm,” you murmur absently, engrossed in your exploration.
You move down his arm, wrapping your hands gently around his biceps. You note the two distinct heads of the muscle.
“Can you flex for me?” You ask professionally.
Charles obliges, flexing his bicep and causing it to bulge up under your hands.
“Excellent, thank you,” you say, impressed by the muscle definition. Your fingers drift down his arm to his forearm, tracing the brachioradialis.
You are hyperaware of Charles’ eyes following your every movement. There’s an intimacy to having your hands on him like this that makes your heart beat faster. You try to remain focused, but with him standing so close, his warmth radiating onto you, it’s difficult to think clinically.
When you take his hand in yours, turning it palm up to examine the tendons along his wrist and fingers, you’re struck by its elegant beauty.
His hands may spend most days encased in racing gloves, but they still hold such graceful strength and capability. You find yourself tenderly tracing along the lines of his palm, the indentation at the base of each finger.
You look up to see Charles watching you, his expression soft and affectionate. Impulsively, you lift his hand to your lips and place a kiss along his knuckles. His eyes widen slightly in surprise before he smiles.
“I don’t think that’s part of the medical curriculum,” he says, his voice low.
You grin. “Just conducting some independent research.”
Charles lifts his other hand to lightly trace his fingertips along your jawline, leaving a trail of tingles along your skin.
“Well in that case, I think you need to continue your in-depth examination,” he murmurs.
Your pulse quickens as his fingers trail down your neck and along your collarbone. Gently, he turns you around so your back is to him and sweeps your hair over one shoulder. You shiver pleasantly at the feeling of his hands gliding along the slopes of your shoulders.
“It’s important to know the trapezius muscle,” he says close to your ear. His fingers skim down from the base of your neck, tracing the borders of the trapezius down toward your shoulder blades. You close your eyes, focusing on the sensation.
“Mmm yes, very important,” you breathe.
His hands span across your upper back, gently kneading into the muscle. You let out an appreciative sigh, the tension you’ve been carrying in your back dissolving under his touch.
Charles places a kiss to the curve of your neck as his hands work their way down your spine, counting each vertebrae.
“The vertebral column is quite elegant, don’t you think?” He murmurs against your skin. You hum in agreement, eyes still closed.
When his hands come to rest just above your waist, your breath catches in anticipation. His touch is driving you crazy but you don’t want him to stop.
Slowly, he slides his hands around your waist to your stomach, splaying his fingers possessively across your abdomen. He pulls your back against his chest until no space remains between you.
“How am I doing as your study partner?” He asks, nuzzling into the crook of your neck.
“Mmm, top of the class,” you reply a little breathlessly.
He grins against your skin. “Maybe we should move this study session somewhere more comfortable.”
You turn around to face him, draping your arms lazily around his neck. “I’ll have to clear my schedule. My boyfriend’s this really busy, important Formula 1 driver, you know.”
Charles smiles, leaning in close until his nose brushes yours. “I think he can make time for you.”
He closes the remaining distance, bringing his mouth to yours in a kiss that curls your toes. You melt into him, all thoughts of anatomy and studying dissolving from your mind.
In this moment, it’s just the two of you, wrapped up in each other. The chaos of life fades away and you’re reminded why you endure the challenges of his demanding career.
Because at the end of the day, you have this — your love, steadfast and true. The rest of the world falls away and you’re home.

How did you find your art style?? I'm literally in love with it
I stopped doing the parts that weren't fun
I've never been aiming for anything in particular, and it's varied over time + between works. it's where it is now because it's the meeting point of my ability to make art and what I want to show in it. I had cartoon simplicity for a while, and then detailed clean line art for a while, painted for a while, had lineless geometry for a while. dabbled in clay when school allowed and digital 3d when it didn't. took up photography. looked at a lot of other people's art, peers, posted online, formally published.
there are things I know directly inspired me - early 2000's animation that relied on bulky, limited models and a strong character shapes; packaging design; graffiti of all calibers; the vivid, realistic illustrations of fantasy field guides; animation and dance; comics, many times over - but those can make any person draw anything, depending on what they choose to keep. I learned I liked the part of a painting that was roughing in big chunks of color, and liked hatching more than smooth blending, so I stopped blending. i liked dramatic shading and easy to read framing / shapes, so i limited my color palettes and used a lot of solid black. i liked how a bright light source could obscure something as much as darkness could, so i used it a lot as well.
my advice for finding a style will always be to just... let yourself do the parts of the art that you love doing, and experiment with the rest until you find things you like there, too. if a part of it is boring or takes too long or you never like the result, just don't do it. there's other ways. it's not a hobby worth doing just to be miserable about.
here's some art from when I first started digital painting. as a treat

It’s so important that all the main characters in Artemis Fowl are morally imperfect.
We often underestimate young readers. We assume they need clear-cut heroes and villains—good guys in white hats and bad guys in black. But Artemis Fowl doesn’t talk down to its audience. It introduces kids to a world where even the “good” characters can lie, lash out, make selfish choices, or fall short of their own ideals.
Artemis himself begins the series as a villain. Not a misunderstood antihero or a prankster with a heart of gold—an actual, ruthless mastermind who kidnaps someone and threatens their life for ransom. That’s a wild place to start a protagonist’s arc.
As the series progresses, Artemis isn’t magically redeemed—he chooses to change. He learns empathy, connection, and responsibility. He falters, backslides, makes mistakes—but he keeps trying. And for a kid reading that? It sends a powerful message: your past doesn’t lock you in. You can grow. You can do better.
Even Holly Short—arguably the moral compass of the story—isn’t portrayed as flawless. She’s stubborn, impulsive, and quick to anger. Yes, she’s brave, loyal, and principled—but she also struggles with trust, lashes out when cornered, and pushes back against authority, even when that authority isn’t the source of the problem. She’s complex, and that complexity makes her feel real. For young readers—especially those who are often told that girls have to be perfect to be taken seriously—Holly’s flaws aren’t just refreshing, they’re empowering.
And then there’s Butler, Mulch, Foaly, Root—each of them has their own blend of virtue and vice. Butler is stoic and loyal, but he follows orders without always asking if they’re right. Mulch is selfish and cowardly, but he’s also clever, hilarious, and capable of unexpected bravery. Foaly is brilliant and insightful, but smug and petty too. Commander Root is tough and principled, but quick-tempered and resistant to change.
In other words: they’re human. (Or dwarf. Or centaur. Or elf. You get the idea.)
That’s what makes this kind of representation so valuable in children's literature. It’s not just entertaining—it’s instructive. It models resilience, growth, and accountability. It teaches that morality isn’t a fixed identity, but a series of choices you make every day. That mistakes are part of the story, not the end of it.
And it shows that relationships can be complicated too. Holly and Artemis don’t start as friends—they start as captor and captive. But over time, respect grows. Trust is earned. Loyalty forms. It’s messy and earned and full of moments where they disagree or fail each other—and that’s what makes it meaningful.
And that’s exactly what makes them perfect for the audience they’re written for. Because kids don’t need stories that tell them how to be flawless. They need stories that show them how to be human.
And then my mortal enemy Kenneth Branagh took one look at all that rich, complicated, morally gray character work and said, “Nah, that’s not interesting,” and proceeded to hate-vomit out that movie adaptation. Yes, this has secretly been a rant about the movie. Surprise.
