I wanted to share the tattoo I did yesterday!!

I really enjoyed the process🥹🫶 My “normal” art is generally a lot more detailed and time-consuming than these fanarts…something I genuinely LOVE is just spending lots of time focusing on the small details & forgetting everything else.

I’m overall really happy with how this turned out, I’ve been practicing A LOT😳 but even so, pork skin isn’t the same as a living, breathing human. I think this design might have been a BIT too complicated to be my first one but oh well…I learned a lot and pushing myself off the deep end is always how I learn best😆😆😤🙏

It’s Feral Friday! 

Sometimes getting feral simply entails pondering the familiar from an unconsidered perspective and finding fascination in the everyday. This week we’ve selected a work from our Book Arts Collection that does just that. Sarah Peters’ The Moon Has No Weather is a book that posits the earth’s natural satellite as its own archivist—a celestial body with no atmosphere whose physical history is preserved on its windless, waterless surface.  

Inspired by an installation of Peters’ work at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, The Moon Has No Weather was produced during her residency at the Women’s Studio Workshop and published as an artist’s book in 2013 in Rosendale, NY. The text was letterpress printed in Fox typeface (designed by Chad Kloepfer) on Magnani Arturo paper. The book also includes hand-marbled Hahnemühle Bugra, Thai Mulberry, and handmade abaca papers, as well as selected pages from scientific lab books and a 1984 Polish electronics manual.  

Wanna learn more about how this book was made? You can follow along with Peters’ production process here. Wanna learn more about the thought process behind it? Check out this 1885 text The Moon: considered as a planet, a world, and a satellite (also available for loan through the UWM library catalog).

how to center things in clip studio paint

a guide

ok so clip studio doesnt have a center feature which is genuinely insane but there is a way to center your stuff and its actually pretty easy

alright so this is your drawing. first, press ctrl+t

awesome. now go to the tool properties window. it should look like this:

all of the centering magic happens in this window. so first, you have to check the box that says "keep aspect ratio", like this:

then, you go to the "adjust position" label and switch from "free position" to "canvas"

your drawing should now fill up the canvas while retaining its original proportions:

so big! last step: change the scale ratio to 100:

and voila! your layer has been centered. hope this helps!

Monsters Dancing with Monsters

(Happy birthday Mhin!!! Tho this is technically a Kuras x GN!Reader fic, but Mhin's part is at the beginning, so kinda cheating....... anyway i hope you enjoy :D)

Also this prompts the question:

What kind of dances do you think the TS lads would specialize in?

--------------------------------------------

Maybe it’s something in the air that has them feeling weightless.

But it’s probably something to do with the alcohol their system.

It’s making them feel freer.

Bolder too.

How they managed to get Mhin reluctantly dancing on the floor with would forever be a mystery to a more sobered version of themself, but one they will indulge in fully for as long as their pale-haired friend will humor them for.

They glide around in simple tango, or what can just barely be considered a tango, thanks to Mhin’s measured and steady guidance.  A small part of them laments the fact that they very well would have gotten the opportunity to experience the unknown dance prowess of their friend apparently has had they been less wobbly on their feet, but they are admittedly too pleasantly buzzed to frankly give a damn.

The pair of them weren’t the only ones at the bar today. 

They glance towards the crowd against the bar.

A chanced look, spying over horn and ears has them locking eyes with familiar eyes.  The doctor greets them with a soft look and a curled smile, touched with warmth and possibly affection? (At least they’d like to think so.) 

It has them laughing and swinging a dismayed Mhin harder.

A careless step has the both of them near tumbling, had it not been for slender, deft hands wrapping around them.  They drape both arms over their partner’s shoulders, clinging and laughing to a cringing Mhin before burying their face into the crook of their dance partner’s shoulder.  The pair settles into a slow sway. They feel the alchemist ease slightly once they find a comfortable rhythm, muttering soft complaints and scolding words with little heat.  They giggle against Mhin’s neck.....

Read the rest here (cause it's kinda long):

Finished! This comic page (read left to right) is based on a scene from chapter 1 of "c plus" by viiisenya on AO3. It's a Shikamaru/Temari-centric fic that I absolutely adore.

As someone who normally only draws portraits this was quite the experience, especially when it came to figuring out a layout for a dorm room from scratch despite having never stayed in one ;-; Despite the challenges and many imperfections that I'm sure it has, I had quite a bit of fun making this, and hopefully I can continue to improve my comic-making skills.
