#also most of this was done on one layer
Text
Having a lot of self-doubts with art right now, spending a lot of time just practicing and not really finishing anything, but this one got completed.
A tormentor, for practice. It's really fun to study anatomy from creatures whose anatomy is absolutely fucked up.
Plus a little speedpaint, because why not.
#destiny 2#destiny 2 art#destiny#art#destiny the game#tormentor#destiny 2 tormentor#practice#the lighting in this brought me genuine pain lmao#also most of this was done on one layer#doing that was a mistake#but I kinda like how it turned out#also#I have another sketch of Big Red in the works so stay tuned for that#anyway#I like tormentors#they silly#watch me screech like a little bitch every time the screen flashes red though

lhqr outfit musings... (underlayers, everyday outfits, performance / out on the town outfits)
#em draws stuff#l'homme qui rit#the man who laughs#déa#gwynplaine#LONG AWAITED IMAGE. as in this has been slightly more than a month in the works. oh boy.#and also happy belated birthday to tumblr user (and my pal) ned sneez - he who got me interested in these two!#here are your little guys and many happy returns of the day :)#...most of my usual tag-commentary has been relocated into annotations today... I feel like I should add more grime and mends#but frankly it has been one million years of copypasting and selecting and forgetting which layer was which and I wish this done#at some point I want to go back and try drawing gwyn with his hair down as well#I tried on the third slide here but it did not look very good so I put it back :|#oh whale. guess I have to draw him again <- opposite of a problem

horizontober 2023 | 18: tarot
#horizontober2023#horizon forbidden west#hfw#hfwbs#aloy#pls don't come at me if this isn't a good interpretation of this tarot card bc i've never studied tarot T_T#but i looked it up and this is the one that spoke to me (that i thought i'd be able to do in photomode lol)#i actually got pretty into designing the border but it needs a lot more work and then i realized i saved my wip as a flattened image >.<#so....... all my layers are gone. fuck me.#still! i can recreate it without too much trouble (the pattern is an svg in inkscape)#and my quest to make svgs of the whole alphabet imitating the logo 'brushstrokes' on the horizon font continues#i think i've done most letters by now? just missing like q x y z and a few others#i also have a few variants (esp r/h/n) with different ascenders/descenders and some with the gaps in the vertical strokes#if anyone wants a word/title you're welcome to ask me and i'll see what i can do if i have time!

has anybody else thought about how jk could easily manage sofia's parts of slow dance or is it just me?
#jikook#bts#everybody is working to insert jk in who where i just don't see it (other than the seven parallels)#and not talking much about what i see as WAY more obvious nods most especially in rebirth#like jm sings about wanting to be worthy of someone - maybe someone who just became a huge SOLO global popstar?#and mentions 'real love' - what was the name of that chapter in the bangtan book again?#and the feminine pronouns not present it's just the nebulous 'you' that in jimin songs often stands in for 'army'#(and one very specific 'fan' who has said he is ALSO army)#it's the 'i wanna be with you'#the answer for jk's 'i am still' with its unspoken additional 'still with you' layer#and then we get slow dance and we're back to the nebulous 'you' - on an island he-#oh wait what was that about a pair that traveled to an island? and filmed some stuff there that we'll see soon? hm#the reason this set me off though is the lines about 'cancelling my plans' to live to 'the tempo of our favorite song'#the falling deep into lines etc etc#because we know what happens when those two get together - they lose track of time everything else fades away#it's why they haven't done lives. why 'you and me' are 'up all night' why jm knows that as soon as jk is around#his self-discipline will crack and he'll fall into the pattern he tried to head off by separating from jk while making face#and we *know* jimin wrote on this song#frankly if he *hadn't* gotten a female feature everybody would be JUMPING on this song as a jikook anthem#the inclusion of sofia works perfectly - like hammering the pin back in a grenade#but i was reading those lines and thinking how high she went and going who else could sing this ...?#huh. who do we know of who can sing *anything*? and who has a range that can hit and blend with jimin's perfectly?#so. i dunno. y'all do your delulu the way that works for you and i will do my delulu my way lol#personally i think the eyes in the mv look like a screenshot from the love wins all mv but that's only me#i think the parallels with seven work more#and speaking of parallels (there are so many) i think this album was built to ensure jm is on equal footing with a certain someone#it's the commerciality of it - as though jm was like we will be together in this as well#when he seems not to be super interested in global domination but still 'special' enough to be on the same level with his love

skeledog Leander WIP
the skull here is actually modeled closely after a deer skull, just compressed to fit a dog's overall face shape. also tried to make the eyes a little less wide-set than a deer's without making them completely front-facing like a dog's. here's the rest of the (still un-rendered) body:
i'm testing out the screen recorder i just downloaded so if that ends up working the way i want it to i'll have a timelapse of this piece when it's done :)
#whump#i mean leander is unharmed#he is fine#but i would NOT put it past him to go whumping someone else while he's like this#or most any other time really#tor draws#original characters#oc: leander#leanimals#drawing#art#don't think this really counts as gore but perhaps i'll tag it as#horror#if of a milder sort#skeleton#bones#drawing wip#also fun fact! i am doing all the painting and rendering on one layer for the most part#like the rough sketch is on a separate layer but i'm painting completely over it and all that is being done on a single layer#i hate to do that with art of humanoid characters#it's just really difficult for me for some reason#but when it comes to animals and monsters and creatures and such i actually really prefer doing things on a single layer as much as possibl#which is weird bc for years i've been a steadfast 'has dozens and dozens of layers for a single drawing#so every little thing can have its own layer' kind of girlie#still can't get the hang of single-layer painting for humanoid characters tho#can't seem to get the hang of applying this same lineless painterly style to humanoid characters either#which causes me absolutely no end of grief#i WANT to#but it's so fucking hard lol#but ig that's what practice is for 😔

I probably wouldnt have snapped if i didnt went in the notes to see dozens of tags agreeing so wholeheartedly with the most surface-level understanding of those characters
#yes dante likes sweet and doesnt smoke and gets impaled regularly#dante also has grown to learn to accept and take responsability for the actions of one's family and blood#and is fundamentally a kind man that likes people even if he doesnt feel like he belong with them#hes also a master swordsman. an expert gunslinger. well versed in martial arts. and can master every weapon under the goddamn sun#yes vergil has done morally revolting things and is kind of awkward by conventional social standards#hes also a very traumatized man thats constantly struggling with his humanity#and he can literally cut anything including SPACE and summon swords out of thin air#yes nero is technically the most well-adjusted of his family#he also struggled with his self-worth because he is something that DID NOT BELONG anywhere due to his nature and heritage#and he had to find and take his place in the world on his own thanks to his strength and especially thanks to his heart#THEY ALL HAVE LAYERS MAN.#tagging later

deeply compelled by this photo
#heretic tag#finishing rec lists by doing the most important part - using my 30 image allowance to splice up the text#and well they can't all make it... and i'm fond enough of this photo i'm posting it on its own#I Just Think It's Interesting (and slightly comical) how friendly they are to each other in person for the most part#like you'll get them saying the foulest shit about them in the press and then u compare with the footage/photos from the time and go?#now sure you could say being polite to a coworker you hate is an incredibly low bar. but. like. it's often not one riders clear!!#I feel fairly confident about why this is the case from valentino's side of the equation#casey's is a little more... hm because the thing is it's not like we have a big enough feud sample size to compare with#but i just find it something kinda fun about him... like yeah he's blunt to the point of being wildly tactless...#but also friendly with valentino who he thinks is basically the devil... he has layers...#//#brr brr#WARM smiles towards someone he at this stage definitely loathes as a rider if nothing else... idk it's interesting#it does add a specific fun vibe to that rivalry imo#like they are SO nasty to each other in the press and then it's all :)) how have you been valentino :) congrats on the wonderful race :)#the list is done btw i need to read it through two more times to grammar check (not fact check i don't believe in that) and then i'll Post

actually coolest thing about ebony is that not only are his eyelights solid white but they are also extremely teeny tiny which means if i dont color them & just leave them bone color i dont think a single person would actually notice
#trousled rambles#its such a small thing but yall have no idea how much work this saves me actually#do u have any idea how much extra steps it takes to color in eyelights in character portraits when they constantly move around#i have to color the entire eye socket shape just to not have 25 eye layers#and then also have different versions for half-lidded expressions of varying degrees#and thank god i can color in the eye sockets in the lineart itself because if they have real eyes its a fucking nightmare#but with this one i can just . erase a little dot. and then im done. what bliss#now that i think about it i dont think ive ever actually talked about all the little annoying stuff that goes into making talk sprites huh#um. it takes a lot of layer tricks#the most recent one for russ from like 2020 has 96 layers for about 9 poses if that puts anything into perspective lol#i dont even think i used all of em 😔

It really sucks that military, tactical, and similar stuff is so cool and frequently very useful because not only do their fandoms suck but they're also inherently tied to systems of oppression.
#i am not the only one to have this opinion i know#gosh it is so unfortunate#i got a molle backpack to replace my previous one and got into picking all the little modular pouches and things to stick on it#it's so nice#and it's pretty cleanly utilitarian#but I'm just like...yeah it's cop backpack#and all the tactical stuff out there is like ...ONG CARRY MORE AR MAGS#ok that's nice but you already have 8 ways to do that where are the tactical pouches you use for carrying water or food or medical supplies#or non-gun survival gear or edc stuff or admin shit like notebooks and pens and papers and maps#and it's always like...one pouch for this purpose buried 15 layers deep under more pistol and rifle mag pouches#BRO EVEN IN THE MILITARY YOU DO NOT NEED THIS MANY MAG POUCH VARIANTS#MAKE A FEW GOOD ONES OF A COUPLE SIZES AND JUST BE DONE#your average first responder or military operator do not need their weapon as often as they need 100 other things#watching cops and emts walk around with pockets full of whatever and then have a clipboard or laptop kicking around their vehicle like????#MAKE SOME GODDAMN HARDENED PHABLETS#tacticool#this is me being mad about how their notebook+pen pouches are bad#also i want little pouches for meds or other actual daily carry shit that i know EMTs and firefighters also carry#511 tactical has a ton of pouches for weaponry and not one glove strap#yknow#work and tactical gloves those things most every operator of every type kinda needs#like...impact resistant hand protection is huge

i think its kinda funny that ibis paint is regarded as the Broke Artist App or whatever (as opposed to more mainstream programs like csp or procreate) because its free and because of how popular it is with phone + finger artists while im jusg sitting here having used ibis for a cool eight years on purpose.
like i have an ipad and an apple pencil and all theyre very nice and i absolutely could move to a more powerful program i have the resources to do so but my change averse brain has decided they like it here a lot and im not leaving
#not talking smack on phone and finger artists btw. some of my mutuals use their fingers and their art goes crazy i respect that so much#even when i did use my phone (most of 14 crush was done on a phone!) i still had to use a cheap rubber stylus hahaha#anyway maybe ill try procreate someday but also i hate learning new programs and i like ibis's brushes too much#fingers crossed that they add fully custom brushes someday though#like id love to be one of those artists that makes really cool art with ridiculous shapes and nobody even knows until they tell you#younger artists might not know this but modern ibis is STACKED compared to how it was in 2015#like i remember when clipping layers were first implemented. and they sucked. like they didnt fully go over the lower layer#so it just left a gross tiny outline around the shape#and there wasnt any border or text tools either#and there was a hard cap on layer count depending on your device's storage and the canvas size#modifying brushes wasnt even a thing HAHAHAHAH you just used what you had#anyway okiku reference window unrelated shes just there for something else im working on<3#bri talks#for the record all this is to say i think the smack talk towards ibis is pretty unwarranted#like yeah maybe its not as powerful as a lot of these fancy paid apps but i honestly think its insanely good for being a free program#i think getting rid of the ads costs more now than it did when i paid to get rid of them but i mean#free with ads is still a lot more than csp's ever gonna give you!!!!#(psst. secret from me to you! you wont get any ads if you disable the app's data usage and turn off wifi when you use it)#(alternatively just use airplane mode but you can still get texts and stuff the first way)

bagged a trial shift at a new pub just for my manager to immediately put on facebook if anyone wants an extra shift on wednesday. he knows what im doing
#he said GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE RN#lmfaoooo the notif came through literally as i put the phone down i was like 😳😳😳#like that 'CONNOR' tiktok audio like no king im not doing anythinggg haha wdym#anyway im a bit annoyed that the first place to get back to me from my applications was this one#bc im pretty sure their pay is still minimum wage and also my cousin worked a trial shift there once#and not only did they not pay him but they also never called him back or even emailed to politely turn him down#literally just used him for free labour and that was that#word of warning from a very tired waitress if ur thinking about starting: always take trial shifts with a pinch of salt#if the trial shift is longer than 2 hours they really really should be paying you and if they dont the odds are you got mugged off#also the woman on the phone after i said i worked at the place i currently work at was like 'and do you still work there?' SHE KNOWS#and when i said yes she was like 'would you be willing to leave?' HOW CAN I BE TWO-TIMING BOTH OF YOU RN#LYING TO ONE JOB ABOUT SEEKING ANOTHER JOB LYING TO THE NEW JOB ABOUT LEAVING THE OLD ONE COME ON NOW#IM NOT BUILT FOR THESE LAYERS#but yeah summary here is i have a shift at my actual place on wednesday (thank god i havent had work in over a fucking WEEK)#and i have a trial shift at a new place where i'll most likely be offered a job. life is picking up#ALSO i have enough money to change my america flights bc basically something came up with that and i need to change my return flight#and i was originally rlly worried bc the change cost was £161 and that piled onto my current no-shifts stress was Not Fun#but ive been working a lot for my mum and i got paid for the shifts i HAVE done and it all kinda fell together anyway#the way everything is sorting itself today within the same HOUR yet ive been stressing about these things for days now#hella goes home#hella slaves to capitalism

Thank you for posting ur analysis on no home they make me so happy and help me appreciate and understand the comic even more🫶🫶 I'm planning on rereading it a lot more because of your post, I love them so much thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! this literally made my day, i'm so glad u like it😭😭
tbh i'm always a bit anxious when i post a meta in case i get sth wrong or completely miss the point (apologies in advance for that) but this made me feel better <3
when you reread no home i highly recommend looking at everything from Eunyung's perspective and to keep a close eye on him. it'll help understand him (and all the conflicts) better.
#to be brutally honest#the main reason i made this blog was to do my boy ey justice#bc i didn't see many posts explaining his reasons and intentions#what i saw the most was slander and outrage at 'how much more stupid can this asshole get'#<- i see where u're coming from but no. just no. there's so much more to my favorite onion <3#(<- onion bc he's got so many layers and he always makes me cry ㅠㅠ)#he's just a little guy trying his best#and i'm also just a little human trying my best at attempting to make big brain posts#i'm glad u like them#i'm really just posting what i would like to see if i was the one reading#and i'll try posting more abt the other characters as well when i'm done with ey#(2/3 of my 124 drafts are ey-related and the rest is unhinged bs)#no home#ask#thank you

My irl social circle became so so trans dominated while dropping out i had forgor how bad it feels being in cis dominated institutions
#im not atuch with them they’re stuck with me but. had not missed it#i hadn’t forgotten public life or like#mostly cis familial circles#it has an additional layer of badness in school tho i feel. extra#exposed and restricted#and that’s in an art uni with mostly leftist students#just. far from left enough#not that anybody is leftist and anarchist enough for me-#i had done a short program to prepare health formation where i was surrounded by cis women always. but the teachers were#keeping less of an authoritative distance and those women were if not the most anti bogtry at least mature#the people in this dlass are mostly just out of high school and huh. have growth left to do#also there’s a bunch if gays but not really the radical kind and some people who definitely are somewhat trans but still battling their#internalized transphobia too much for what i would say to be well received#tired of being the most radical fucker in all the rooms i walk in it’s exhausting#making friends is hard also. in general#but i can’t help but feel looking genderweird and alt isn’t helping me (also i don’t do the first step lol that one’s on me)

I was gonna say I completely squandered today for Projects but then I remembered my new desk organizers came today and I spent several hours rearranging and organizing a bunch of my art supplies
#also I started the day stressed out the second I looked at my phone and then stayed stressed for most of the day for Reasons#so like... it's allowed I think I am allowed to have done some Stuff Management and no art today! all things considered!!#IT'S JUST I finally started working on satyr horns and I also wanted to try making some clothes before ren faire next weekend#and I SHOULLLLD start on that if I'm gonna do it oouuughhh...#(the horns mention was a half-thought I just remembered I couldn't work on them today anyway lol)#(they have a paperclay core layer so they need to dry all the way through before I can put apoxie sculpt on top)#(but I REALLY should start to work on that bodice if I'm gonna try making even a quick n dirty one)#just always feels like I'm not Doing Enough you know...?#about me

I'm not even that invested in Tim Drake as a character (he's neat! Just doesn't give me brainrot + I haven't read his og solo series, tho I skimmed parts of his current one) I just think it's so funny that he's canonically bi. Oracle caught him looking up "boys kissing" on the batcomputer
#ramblings of a lunatic#this is definitely ooc btw if tim looked up boys kissing it would be on a secret burner laptop with minimum 20 layers of encryption#but the sentiment is what puts me in hysterics. so I'm phrasing it but if you worry I'm peddling tim slander check my tags#it's funny because all the batboys are inherently a little gay but DC only made one of them canonically bi so it's like#there's this special energy to tim. is he editorials favorite boy? i doubt it. is he the most gay? not sure that's quantifiable or even true#was it a right place right time thing? did a wizard do it? I'm fascinated. top ten plotlines ever#i don't even care that his boyfriend has the personality of a discarded takeaway container#happy for tim and his bland ass boyfriend#I'm still on my DC sabbatical. ive decided I'm gonna rewatch some of the animated stuff#then when that's done. i might just. rewatch the owl show#but also idk if I'm strong enough 😭#we'll see
