#THEY ALL LOOK SO PRETTY IN YOUR ARTSTYLE

[tatatatatara]

Shuu baby I know you mean well but that's literally the worst advice you can give him right now this is why he kicked you out of your own property

[makeitlookdecent]

srry homie for what im boutta do

for the au[other colors] i thought it would be cool to have klugs parents show up for a couple scenes, but for the timeline of the major events i needed them GONE and UNRESPONSIVE.

hes smart so i think, even at a young age, he gets that they're busy with work and all, and he's not alone per say- his friends and teachers and everyone in primp would definitely look out for him, but ive just been thinking. because like, i thought itd be cool if it was almost like strange also helped raise klug. as a (malicious) mentor of sorts. after they made truce (that they both keep breaking)

i imagine klugs parents are probably good people, but are horrible as parents. like they just keep doing their own thing and just let the village raise him.

but then that got me thinking, in this setting, do you think he would unknowingly (or maybe knowingly but trying not to think about it) resent them for not being there for him growing up?

[chaoticlad]

YOU ARE FEEDING US SABOLAW FANS SO WELL THANK YOU OHHHH MY HEAVENS😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

yeah it’s sabolaw again

What I have manifested way before entering the void.

Decided to do this post because I've seen quite a lot of people thinking the void is the last resort for all your imagination and manifestation.

Yeah it actually is but girly pop why do you have to strap that on and act like it's the only way you're EVER going to get something?

I used to think the void was the only thing that can help me manifest, GUESS WHAT, IT AIN'T, BC EVERYTHING WORKS ONCE YOU DECIDE.

so here's something to let y'all know that yes, you can definitely manifest without the void, here are some of my successes and I hope it will motivate people towards their goal.

What I manifested:

Changing past grades = mf almost four years ago I used subliminals to change my past grades after answering exam tests, and it was the first time I ever locked in and let go of things, I should've gotten scrape grades but guess what? All fucking 100 💀, even the answered which I don't remember putting in was literally there by my pen.

Losing weight = anyone remembers the weightloss mania in subs community 🧍🏻‍♀️, yeah I managed to burn off 8 to 9 kg during two weeks without paying any attention to it, I just usually went and said I'm getting thinner.

Manifested getting bought a laptop = AIN'T NO WAY I THOUGHT THIS COULD WORK, my dad was not budging on buying me one, I fucking affirmed once or twice and forgot about it and he bought one for me the next day, and god such a laptop it is.

Longer lashes = my lashes rn look insane, like long dolly typa shit yk? I love that sm, again just believed in it.

Bug sleepy eyes effect = DON'T LAUGH AIGHT, I wanted to have those big droopy eyes yk? (Billie Eilish inspired) And god the amount of people anytime they meet me say I have pretty bug eyes makes me giddy.

Attention of the crowd = I'm the center of attention with the girlies at my highschool, ngl quite popular too, I LOVE HOW I'M KNOWN AS BUNNY.

Cats = that was last year, I wanted cats for so long and guys, my mom? NEVER wanted them, like she literally told me she'd shove me out of the house if I got one 💀, now guess what, I have three cats and my mom loves them more than me (smh)

Higher IQ = yeah you heard me right, this one is recent too, it's my senior year and I gotta study, so I manifested understanding things so easily and taking less time on studying with even more effective memory.

My artstyle = believe me or not, this one is the oldest, and I'll show you proof, I love semi realism

I'll add more when I can!

Jon accidentally showing Damian a photo of reader, (I LOVE YOUR NEW FICS, IM OBSESSED, YOU'RE A TALENTED WRITER PLEASE LIVE FOREVER)

— related post !

yall hahaha... i got a fever for 2 whole days and just recovered right now hence why i wasnt able to reply to asks since i was in so much pain 💔 but anyways—

OMG 😭 !!! this is so beautiful wth ?? the confused look that damian gives jon, jon literally saying "they've been my parent ever since" like yes !! the fact that jon already sees you as a parental figure the moment clark meets you is such a wonderful implication. you don't need to prove yourself to the kent family to be considered as part of theirs, and i think that's such an opposing symbolism towards the batfamily because after all the times you tried your best to be there for them, all the wasted efforts— just for everything to be nothing. but with the kent family, all you need to do is greet them with a smile then suddenly you're part of their lives forever and ever. and yes, there's times where clark refuses you to go outside but with jon's company, you wouldn't really find a way to complain, right?

tysm for sending this in ! it is so pretty and ofc i love how you drew jon and damian in your artstyle and idk if it's intentional but the slight curl in jon's hair reminds me of superman's curl.

and for everyone, ty all for literally blowing up the fanfic?? i didn't expect it to get so much traction since i didn't have much of a direction for how i want it to go but yes i will write more for the series (hence the "#series" tag)

also... watch out for an upcoming soulmate au because... why not hehe

[chocobje]

Hello, curious on how you do your toon anatomy! (Ex. Proportions, guidelines) It looks so much like the game but for Cosmo it doesn’t follow the body including legs is 1 1/2 the head rule I’ve noticed! (I’m struggling so much to draw cos lol)

I'm so sorry I am not the best person to teach but I tried my best to show how I do it 😭

I wouldn't say my artstyle is close to the game, but I do have a cartoony anatomy. I don't follow a guideline, cause I just wing it pretty much all the time. The way I draw Toons tend to look taller somewhat.

A LOT of my turns are very round if you notice, I rarely got a few sharp turns since that's just a preference of mine.

I usually do long, smooth strokes for my lines instead of shorter ones. Shorter lines or having a scratchy sketch makes my art look stiff in my opinion. I favor my characters looking dynamic over accurate anatomy. It feels more fun for me. (Anatomy is VERY important too but I have priorities lol.)

Proportions and anatomy also depend on which character you're doing. It's common for artists to draw kids with big heads and eyes and shorter limbs.

Anyway, I'm not sure what else to put here.. I recommend using a lot of references and practice.. I just searched up "cartoon anatomy" in Pinterest and there are tutorials over there that can teach you way better than I can. 🥹

My art isn't perfect, I'm only self-taught. I've only really learned through analysing the hell out of other artists/shows/games I admire and try to apply it on my own art... 😭 So you gotta find your inspiration!

Study what makes something work for others so you can apply it to yours. This is what I did when I first tried to figure out how to draw the Toons.. (my first art of them looks HORRID)

If it helps, I don't mind if people want to take some inspiration on how I draw the Toons. So analyze the hell outta my art if you wish LOL. (It brings me joy to be a factor of someone's art journey the way the bigger artists I admired were part of mine :')

[beevean]

I wonder if something could be said about Ashley's apparent penchant for drawing.

Leyley used to draw a lot. This, in itself, is nothing special: many kids draw as a hobby. The most noteworthy thing is that Leyley loved to draw so much, she'd do it on the walls, which Andy had to clean...

... and on Andy's notes, which made it difficult for him to study.

I don't need to say that this is just one of the many ways Leyley begged for attention and approval, which most surely had the opposite effect.

However, what made me pause a bit are three completely separate scenes.

This is in the very opening of the game:

We don't see Ashley drawing as an adult, but she doesn't seem to be very confident in herself. Then again, at this point in the game, it could be just goodhearted self-deprecation. It does say something, however, that she's still clinging onto that drawing, both because it's so old and not good-looking, and what it represents.

This is after Ashley, as a teen, has a meltdown over Andrew "seeing Julia":

Andrew is being mean, but to be fair to him, he's also angry and interprets the torn drawing as a way to make him feel bad, so I'll let it pass. The artstyle is so crude, I assume this is another old drawing: the lemon muffin is a reference to a way Andy celebrated Leyley's birthday when they were kids, so it's possible she drew it back then. And then kept it for years, before destroying it in a fit of heartbroken rage. It's how she conveyed her love for her brother, and it was that important to her, that apparently, she still had it in grabbing and tearing vicinity. Her hate for Nina is as important as her love for Andrew.

(the other option is, of course, that it's a much more recent drawing, and yes, this is a pretty abysmal way of drawing for a teen who apparently has been doing so for years. I still wouldn't call it garbage though, Andrew, she meant well :<)

Not much after that scene, Andrew also tells us this:

Whether Ashley still draws in her teen years or has stopped, at least we know it's more important to her than her homework, and enough for Andrew to comment on it.

And this is an offhand comment Renee makes to her mother while pretending she doesn't regret her life choices and children.

This is how Renee chooses to paint Ashley in a good light: by praising her art. Which is a lie, of course, because even back then she wasn't exactly Leonardo Da Vinci, but hey, grandma doesn't need to know about that. Worthy of note is that, despite doing everything in her power to interact with her daughter as little as possible, she did notice how much Leyley likes to draw (although afawk it could be because she once saw her drawing on the walls, so it's even more of a backhanded compliment).

So I suppose Leyley's cry for attention did work, in part.

It's a running gag that Ashley is a pretty bad artist. More than once, people point out she struggles to draw circles.

Speaking of attention seeking behavior, and how Renee keeps denying it.

So, what do I take from this?

That Ashley had a predisposition for drawing, clearly enjoying it regardless of her talent, and partially did so as a way to yell "look at me! I'm a person too! I have feelings, here they are!" at the world; but that predisposition was never nurtured, neglected as she was. Her art was ugly at best, a bother at worst. So she never developed her artistic skills, stagnated, and now she's a "bad" artist, which she resents. It's quite a shame, because of all the ways you could vent your feelings, art is by far the healthiest. Perhaps she would have been less destructive.

Naturally, this is part of one of the game's key themes: Ashley never grew up. She wasn't given the tools to, and now, she doesn't even want to. So she never developed past the "Leyley" phase of her life, still drawing in a childish way, still "playing" with her bunny plushies in her mind, still clinging onto her child self when Andrew wants nothing more than to grow up (or so he says). Much like her art, she too was seen mostly as an embarrassment, and so never improved. But every scrap of attention Andrew gives her? Means the world to her. And that's why she keeps going.

Lastly: every ending of the game comes with a crude crayon drawing.

It makes me believe that Ashley's art, ugly and childish as it is, is an important part of her, and her perception of the world.

why exactly do you dislike generative art so much? i know its been misused by some folks, but like, why blame a tool because it gets used by shitty people? Why not just... blame the people who are shitty? I mean this in genuinely good faith, you seem like a pretty nice guy normally, but i guess it just makes me confused how... severe? your reactions are sometimes to it. There's a lot of nuance to conversation about it, and by folks a lot smarter than I (I suggest checking out the Are We Art Yet or "AWAY" group! They've got a lot on their page about the ethical use of Image generation software by individuals, and it really helped explain some things I was confused about). I know on my end, it made me think about why I personally was so reactive about Who was allowed to make art and How/Why. Again, all this in good faith, and I'm not asking you to like, Explain yourself or anything- If you just read this and decide to delete it instead of answering, all good! I just hope maybe you'll look into *why* some people advocate for generative software as strongly as they do, and listen to what they have to say about things -🦜

if Ai genuinely generated its own content I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it, however what Ai currently does is scrape other people's art, collect it, and then build something based off of others stolen works without crediting them. It's like. stealing other peoples art, mashing it together, then saying "this is mine i can not only profit of it but i can use it to cut costs in other industries.

this is more evident by people not "making" art but instead using prompts. Its like going to McDonalds and saying "Burger. Big, Juicy, etc, etc" then instead of a worker making the burger it uses an algorithm to build a burger based off of several restaurant's recepies.

example

the left is AI art, the right is one of the artists (Lindong) who it pulled the art style from. it's literally mass producing someone's artstyle by taking their art then using an algorithm to rebuild it in any context. this is even more apparent when you see ai art also tries to recreate artists watermarks and generally blends them together making it unintelligible.

Aside from that theres a lot of other ethical problems with it including generating pretty awful content, including but not limited to cp. It also uses a lot of processing power and apparently water? I haven't caught up on the newer developements i've been depressed about it tbh

Then aside from those, studios are leaning towards Ai generation to replace having to pay people. I've seen professional voice actors complain on twitter that they haven't gotten as much work since ai voice generation started, artists are being cut down and replaced by ai art then having the remaining artists fix any errors in the ai art.

Even beyond those things are the potential for misinformation. Here's an experiment: Which of these two are ai generated?

ready?

These two are both entirely ai generated. I have no idea if they're real people, but in a few months you could ai generate a Biden sex scandal, you could generate politics in whatever situation you want, you can generate popular streamers nude, whatever. and worse yet is ai generated video is already being developed and it doesn't look bad.

I posted on this already but as of right now it only needs one clear frame of a body and it can generate motion. yeah there are issues but it's been like two years since ai development started being taken seriously and we've gotten to this point already. within another two years it'll be close to perfected. There was even tests done with tiktokers and it works. it just fucking works.

There is genuinely not one upside to ai art. at all. it's theft, it's harming peoples lives, its harming the environment, its cutting jobs back and hurting the economy, it's invading peoples privacy, its making pedophilia accessible, and more. it's a plague and there's no vaccine for it. And all because people don't want to take a year to learn anatomy.

I love ur art so much! I remember seeing your Megaempress design and I thought it was so pretty! She’s very underrated alongside her 4 Guards. But I was wondering what Lunaclub, Moonheart, Flowspade and Trickdiamond would look like in your artstyle cuz you make all ur characters very cunty and they always serve :3

hi, that's a great question!!

I absolutely have plans for Emp and her heralds, but right now the one with the most concrete background I have is Trickdiamond :)

AKA "Tricky," she's a smooth talker with an unmatched mind for brokering and bargaining--and a bit of a vice for gambling. Before the war, she took a variety of odd jobs, including a stint as a manager for career gladiators (a lucrative position for anyone who loves money and lacks a conscience). She even managed Megatron for a while!

^ here's a low effort doodle of her!

[sunny-sourzii]

EYYY HALLO IS MEE

all your AU designs are so sweet and so FUN TO LOOK AT IM JUST EATING YOUR ARTSTYLE ALSFJKLEJSKLJ i adore them so much HHHH-

your drawing of peacock Moon was STUNNING AUGH he look so pretty but the caption that he was just trying to impress sun it just randomly gave me a little snippet idea of a lil scenario 

I had a vague scenario of Sun not having properly developed feathers, especially the fancy decorative ones. Probably a lot of self-consciousness and probably even embarrassment or more negative attitude towards his plumage. HOWEVER. I think it’d be adorable if Moon doesn’t even notice the damaged feathers at first and instead just comforts sun and has enough nice feathers for the both of em. Like…doesn’t even care and sees his Sun for himself, not for anything else. idk I had a vivid vision and may not have articulated correctly I SCRAMBLE AWAY NOW REEE-

ABSOLUTELY GRGGRGEJSJHHXD

becoming unreasonably obsessed with making them birds

Well would you look at that! May is right around the corner, and with spring comes the birthday of Ramshackle’s odd prefect! Just imagining her lounging around and staying still might just be even more odd, though! Say— what do you think her special day will be like this year?

[doodledrawsthings]

you. Oh my god, you. (Positive)

listen. Before I had internet access, all I had was 1 hour of allotted browser time, bing image search, and a single dantdm play through of a hat in time that never got finished. I googled fanart and got pretty much nothing, I googled fancomics and got pretty much nothing, but you know what I did end up finding?

your art.

from ages 11-14, my goal in life, in art, was your art. I can’t tell you how much I loved finding random screenshots of your posts, because I was always just so impressed by how clean and consistent your sketches are, how the characters always stay on model, the shape language, how you could somehow sketch a character in like 20 lines when it took me 50 to draw sans in my little spiral notebook— like! Holy shit! For years I have looked up to your art! There’s still a photos folder on my dads old huge-ass 12 inch work iPad labeled “holy crap” and filled with your art. Because it inspired me so much. It’s become an undeniable part of my artstyle, now — I still have fanart I drew way back in the day of Hattie and the rest, I didn’t even know anyone’s names because I couldn’t play the game, but you’re the reason I eventually did play the game. Your coffee shop au and different versions of the prince— one of those ieterations inspired the main character of my novel! Well, novel that I tried to write, I was 13 so it was eh, but I tried!!

I’m submitting this on-anon because I don’t want to out my age on the wide internet (I like my privacy) but. Your art has really meant a lot to me. It’s the reason I played hollow knight, and it’s the reason I kept trying to develop an art style I was happy with. You’re the reason I started scribbling comics in my notebooks. Being 13-14 was pretty much the worst two years of my life, but I had Bing image search and the occasional glimpse of your signature, and I’d be so happy every time I found a new (if crusty) three-times screenshotted jpg. You literally introduced me to the concept of polyamory and nonbinary-ness with the coffee shop au. I had no other access to that in my household, and. Yeah. It meant a lot to me.

Anyway. I’m so glad I’ve finally tracked you down (in the most non-ominous way possible) and I’m so glad you’re still active— Please never stop making art. Your art is incredible, and amazing, and also you never know who’s out there on Bing image search. Thank you for creating for as long as you have. You’re pretty much the reason I’m shooting for an art degree (Wish me luck!) so just…Thank you.

(Also I had no idea you were a professional storyboarder, which is insane because that’s what I want to be when I’m through college. Hey, maybe I’ll end up storyboarding a remake of something you’ve storyboarded! hehehe)

Hi anon!

So right off the bat, I gotta tell you that this message made me start bawling when I woke up and saw it. Like I had a full-on cry session while reading your message and lying in bed for almost an hour. I am crying as I am typing this response, on my phone, still in bed. It’s 11am and i woke up at 9. So I hope it turns out coherent.

The last two years have been. weird. I say that a lot because I wanna say “rough” but that still doesn’t feel quite right. I’m almost hyper-aware that there are so many people that have it worse than me rn, so it feels hard to even acknowledge when I’m going through anything, myself, sometimes- REGARDLESS, it’s been kind of an all-time low for my mental health. There was a point within in the last year where I just HATED drawing. I struggled to bring myself to work, I struggled to bring myself to even draw for fun. It felt like I was posting just to post, trying to keep people aware of my existence and it almost felt physically painful to force myself to sit down and do it, sometimes.

I’m getting better now, I think, but. Yknow.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the “oh I can make money off this,” “oh I can get attention off this,” “oh I can prove myself a functional person in society with this,” of it all. I forget why I actually do this, sometimes, or if I even enjoy it. And then I get messages like yours, about the kid with limited internet access looking for A Hat in Time fan art on Bing image search, and I get taken back to when I was a kid scrolling Google images and deviantart for the same thing.

I don’t mean to like. Foster some kind of parasocial thing with you or any one of my followers. There’s a reason I’m saying all this, I hope it ties up in the end.

We don’t know each other. I’m not some mysterious legendary artist, or whatever. I’m a person who gets burnt out, and jealous, and insecure. I need inspiration to function, just like you, and when I don’t have it, I get art block. But I also really like to draw fictional characters kissing and hanging out. I like coming up with comics and stories and playing out dramatic and funny scenarios in my head like I’m mashing Barbies together. And when other people tell me they enjoy the stuff I put out when I do this, it makes me really, really, really happy.

I think I needed to read your message, probably. With the state of… Everything… Right now, especially recently, I feel like a lot of artists are also struggling with a sense of purpose, pride, and reason as the world makes it harder and harder to even BE an artist, these days. And when I read this message it was like Anton Ego at the end of Ratatouille, I got taken back to when I was a kid looking at my favorite artists and studying their style and striving to be better and better at it over years of my life. Not just because I wanted a job for it or cuz I wanted to be a famous Disney animator or whatever, but because it was fun and I just liked doing it.

Thank you, SO much. I say this in the most genuine and earnest way I possibly can possibly express. I wish you luck on your own path in art and art school. And if you decide that animation industry is your thing, then I wish you the best in that endeavor, as well. I think I will keep making art for a long time.

Peace and love on the planet earth ✌️✌️✌️

[ikimaru]

Hi. Okay so I know this is probably annoying, and a lot of people have likely asked you this a lot. But i kinda look up to you as an artist. So um, for me, it has to be you who has to answer this.

Here goes ig.

First off, ive loved your work for a while, and im really not active on any social media, but i just had to send you this. Your art makes me feel warm. Cozy, even. Like im sitting next to a fireplace. Your klance artwork has always made me visibly smile. And i admire you artstyle a lot!

Ive even tried to draw like you, (not trying too replicate ofc, I just found my own artstyle as i tried to mimic yours :). But i have never tried digital art. I reallly wanna. But the question is, how do i get started?? What tablet do i buy?? Can i attach like a pad thingy to my laptop? (I dont have an ipad) What kind of stylus?

How much time do i dedicate?

My art isnt exceptionally good. Noone knows i even like to draw apart from my sister. Its just, im surrounded by people who are SOO GOOD and super creative and artsy. And when i look at my own art, i sometimes just wanna crumple it up. Im a teenager, and I'm in my board year. (Ill be picking my stream next year)

Should i even bother trying digital art? If im not exceptionally good? Would it just be wasting my time?

Sincerely,

A big fan, and a lost person.

Hi! omg it's ok, and thank you that's sweet of you! 🫶 I really appreciate that it makes you feel that way :')

as for the rest: you can attach a drawing tablet with or without screen to a laptop, the stylus is included and is usually only compatible to your tablet model, if you buy a an ipad or the android version of that you won't need a laptop so that might be redundant tho it depends from the use you plan to make of it, some like to draw away from their computers (the apple pencil is sold separately)

tablet model: if ur just trying it out there's no need to get something overly expensive, you can get a good tablet within the 60$ range even secondhand, larger tablets are mostly for ease and comfort especially if you're drawing many hours every day but aren't a necessary starting point esp as they are pretty pricey!

how much time: it's up to you! if it's for fun and you don't expect fast results you can just draw whenever you feel like it, but there should be some sort of consistency and structure IF you want to see results in a more timely manner, but I think it also has to come from enjoying it or it's just gonna become a drag, ofc u can also set like.. 1 hr whenever you can to do studies if you're into doing studies?

personally I was just drawing in every spare moment but it's bc I just wanted to be drawing ALL the time lmaoo

and no one is exceptionally good when starting, I think starting drawing as a teen is a great time tbh, all u really need is the drive to do it! if you enjoy it, even if you end up dropping it later, at least you still had fun hopefully 👍

[mihii-i]

What about Mizu with a back tattoo? What if it was some kind of japanese style tattoo? Something about water, like the great wave off kanagawa kind of artstyle?

Modern au? Canon time? Fluff? Smut? Idk, I’ll leave it to you ;). I was just.. thinking. I want to trace the ink lines on her skin 😭

And I’m sure she would look SOO GOOD

Fic? Yes please 🙏

someone else’s canvas, but your own work of art.

Pairings: mizu x fem!reader

CW: nsfw, female reader, modern au, afab reader, scissoring, pretty vanilla sex, lowk loser mizu, she’s all jelly because of a tattoo awwww, sighhh freaky reader, not wearing a bra underneath clothes ig?? Idk some people cry about anything, reader is kinda pervy lmaooo, it’s ok she’s appreciating her gf, nail thing AGAIN without the nails tho :), lots of mentions of her back lol, nsfw isn’t too heavy, that’s actually an excuse for i forgot how to write nsfw, a slight mention of a hindu religious concept at the end because it fits don’t cry in my comments about your own belief, I hate everyone, but I love all of you enjoy ur food, not proofread.

A/N: I was feeling angry and horny. No other comments needed. Anywayyyy I love this idea so much omf mizu would absolutely rock a back tattoo so well and I want to just GRAB HER BACK SO BAD…now playing — clouds heaven by lind erebros. 🕯️

Loose threads of fabric hung low along Mizu’s back as the thin barriers of her white shirt clung to the reddening outlines faintly peeking through the cotton, your fingertips dancing along her nape to trail down to the sheeted lines of intricate ink detailed along her skin. Her shaky arms firmly dug into the plush of the mattress on either side of your head, palms sinking into the pillowy cushions as a ground of stability with every little slip of your fingers along her back, racking a series of shivers down her spine with your mere touch.

Drawing in a breath, the smoothed out air remained fogged by the heat of jasming oil wafting across the enclosure of your shared bedroom. While Mizu’s vision continued to blur along the lines of reality and fantasy out of her own exhaustion in the burning sensitivity of her back, still facing the fresh sting, yet somewhat remedied and entranced by your tender ministrations.

At the sight of her dazed state, clearly still a bit taken aback by the fresh tattoo art lined perfectly along each crease of her muscles—you couldn’t help but flit your gaze up to meet hers, taking in the sight of her gorgeous expression as she attempted to keep herself pinned up over you. Albeit a bit pathetically, considering that the tattoo extended along her shoulders as well, delivering the same sting that coursed along her spine from the rest of the wave splayed against her back.

“Mizu…I told you that you’re trying too hard to ignore it. I know how bad that thing hurts right now.” You murmured, only for her to shake her head through her eyes squeezed shut.

“No. It’s just a small sting, don’t worry too much.”

A sigh pushed past your lips at your girlfriend’s insistence of brushing off the initial pain of her new tattoo, your eyes narrowing to peek over her shoulder at the bruising outline along the little trails of ink ingrained into her in a compliment of bright red. You had to admit, the design she had chosen to drill onto herself was quite beautiful to look upon as a pleasing sight.

From the way each wave alluringly swirled along her body to overtake her skin as a crashing tide at its peak, adorned by the shrouded architecture accompanying it with its darkened shade as a distinct characteristic that the tides had masked. The simplified design prevalent in its illustration, yet detailed in contrast when gazed upon as a whole. Displaying both the tempestuous rage, and the calm fondness that stemmed from the ocean’s plea to mask the vicinity, yet leave the sun untouched as to allow it to cast its rays of hope onto land.

Mizu proceeded to lower herself down ultimately onto your chest as her trembling arms finally gave out, the usually defined and powerful woman crumbling at the sting of a tattoo for the first time. Then again, you were wondering why she got such an intricate design for her first time, considering the pain that came in the following few days after getting tattooed. A smile stretched the corner of your lip as your eyes landed onto her spread out across your chest while your hands continued to rest against her clothed back.

“Take off your shirt, it’ll feel more relaxing.”

Truth was, you wanted to of course see her new tattoo in all its glory bare. Well, yes you did care, and wanted her to feel better by exposing it and letting the pain subside through less restricting garments…let’s just say that wasn’t necessary your first idea.

Without hesitation, Mizu’s limp arm draped over your own snaked down along your body as her skin dragged along yours, gripping the ends of her loose fit t-shirt, as the fabric creased along the ends in a upward stream from her fingers curled into the material. Mizu swiftly curved her back upward as she arose from her relaxed state on your chest momentarily, tugging her shirt over her head as the front clung to her chest in a tensed pull. Slivers of her bare skin were exposed to her toned stomach on full display before you, the brief outlines of her muscles embellished against her thin body in an almost perfect balance that caught your gaze upon many occasions.

The underside of her breasts peeking past the nearly removed fabric was certainly something that drew your attention with wide eyes, your gaze fixated on the various scars and cuts that wounded her in nearly every corner, yet complimented her ruggedly lithe figure in a manner you couldn’t tear your eyes away from. Your eyes merely raked over Mizu mindlessly with each waking moment, as if time had ceased and allowed you to remain forever entranced by the way your girlfriend was practically a feast in the eyes.

Even after Mizu had yanked off the shirt, you found yourself unable to avert your yearning sights. Your love for her was unable to be spoken through simple words uttered by the human tongue, nor quelled by a broad definition of the concept of love as a whole. No.

Only actions could truly communicate to the universe how you had felt about her, your desire to worship her in a way that didn’t satiate a sickening lust, but rather hoped for her to feel the two of you so deeply connected through the soul that she’d lose herself in a sea of pleasure that called her name—a trance that truly allowed her to accept the piece of you that you gave up to her to take care of as a means of displaying your undying love.

“Is there something on me?”

Mizu’s voice cut through your train of rather unruly thoughts that boiled up all of a sudden, your eyes darting up to meet those pools of cerulean you adored oh so much. Crowned by her lashes slightly poked over by a strand of her dark hair spilling from her hairline, which was tied in a topknot frequently. Her perplexed expression continued to remain focused on you, cocking an eyebrow in confusion as she awaited an answer.

You replied with a silent shake of your head, clearing your throat in an attempt to compose yourself and hide the flushed, rosy tint dusted across your cheeks. Ignoring your strange behavior, Mizu proceeded to lower herself back down onto you, her weight pressing up against your chest causing you to sink further into the sheets as your heartbeat slammed against your chest in tandem with hers.

Glancing over her shoulder flattened in a relaxed state, you mulled over the various scenarios of your hands grasping at the ink etched on her once bare back, eyeing the intricate wave patterns shaded in impressive strokes. While also exposeing the faint outlines of pinkish red around the corners, bruised for the cost of beauty.

The world around you two seemed to stop moving altogether in the wake of your comfort in each other’s presence, every breath and beat of your heart matching up in soothing silence. Nothing but naturally recurring noises at times, yet not a word uttered. You idly tapped her shoulder as her deep breaths fanned against the shell of your ear, circling the minimal fat of her skin as you couldn’t help but steal quick glances at the ink patterns occasionally.

Seconds evolved into minutes, the concept of time melted into an abstract form of nonexistent reality in every tick of a clock’s hands in the enveloping stillness. And as if you couldn’t help yourself, your mouth opened without hesitation, voicing your thoughts over.

“Can I touch them?”

Mizu blinked, lifting her chin to look up at you, as if she needed confirmation of what you had just said. Touch her tattoos? It was quite an odd request, as well as the fact that she was still fairly sensitive from the itch and burn of the fresh ink. Nevertheless, she found it somewhat endearing that you’d want to trace her tattoos as an intimate gesture of sorts, an unspoken oath of affection if she took it to an extreme.

Your eyes lit up as she delivered you an affirming nod, a faint smile quirking at the corners of her lip as your hands flew to feel her up, palms hovering above the detailed fills of grey, mixed with the barely visible bluish green tint.

—

“(N-Name)…don’t grab so hard..”

Mizu’s pathetically choked out words were abruptly cut off by a sharp gasp through her broken voice, thick eyebrows furrowed as her face contorted in bliss each time her hips rocked forward. Sweat dribbled down the pink tint dusted across her chest as she fought back the urge to allow her eyes to simply roll back, keeping her gaze locked on you through her hazy vision and losing herself in your pleasured expression.

Her head spun with the shocks of every little sensation coursing through her body like electric shocks, shooting through her nerves every time her clit ground against your own in sinful rings of your slick lubricating the controlled motions dragging your cunt against one another. Typically, it wouldn’t be this stimulating if her back wasn’t as sensitive as it was, added with the shiver of your fingers digging in to slip down as they dragged her skin down while you practically clawed down to her sides. Minus the nails of course, as you didn’t want to hurt her already stinging skin.

You bucked your hips up in response to her own jerks forward, hot, heavy breaths fogging the tense air fostered between you two grinding against each other in smooth, timely motions as you continued to lock your eyes onto hers, relishing in the storms of off blue that you long for every waking moment of the day. Diving into this kind of pleasure headfirst not only plunged you into need for these sensations, but also need for Mizu.

Every movement, noise, and action was a call to your heart and soul, a plea for you to love her as much as she loved you. Aligned movements working in sync with each other only a profession of how you reciprocate such feelings toward each other in a scorching fire of passion and desire lingering between the both of you. You rose your thigh further up her sides where she held it, gripping tighter into your plush flesh and earning another whimper falling past your feverish lips.

Clutching tightly at her back once more, you only let your endless series of moans crawl up your throat to spill off your tongue shamelessly, head slightly tipped back into the pillows as you dug your fingers into her with a deathly grasp. You eyed the tattoos through heavy lids, tracing your unanchored finger along each stroke of ink to marvel in the breathtaking beauty of both the tattoos, and your girlfriend herself of course.

Such a gorgeous artwork imprinted onto her body, an artwork that compelled to you to trace upon every stroke carefully and precisely. It was strange, a work on her body performed by someone else became your favorite thing, evidently so by the way you grasped at her back every chance you got to ground yourself from her powerful thrusts forward to rub her pussy against yours as heaps of your arousal pooled atop the sheets, seeping past your intertwined cores.

Drawn on by someone else, yet in favor of you. She was someone else’s canvas, but your own work of art.

Mizu leaned down hastily, rolling her hips against yours at a greater speed through her quickened breath as she captured you in a lazy kiss, muffling her moans increasing in volume by the second. You reciprocated the kiss in turn squeezing your eyes shut as your fingers buried deeper into her back, barely able to keep your pace up with her swift motions.

Everything was a fuzzy blur after the two of you had hit your climax, your blurred vision looking up at your lover panting atop you with your risen thigh hugged to her side as her head hung low. Her juices sloppily mingled with your own in its own masterful, messy art—painted along the inside of her own thighs as her body curved up in a slight arch to display her breathtaking form in the glory of afterglow. Chest heaving up and down in a flushed layer of damp sweat coating her as she came down from her orgasm, before resting back onto you, to which you followed suit.

Wrapping your arms around your beloved in a promise to never let go. And to truly muse at the luck, or rather heroic karma you could’ve have accumulated in your past life to have such a blessing bestowed upon you.

A blessing as divine as Mizu herself.
