My brain, every time:

redraw of this piece!! i mentioned in that post that i would redraw it at some point and ig that time is now! (i meant to post this before id2 came out but i got really busy so y'know lol better late than never)

i like to think i've improved! still can't draw chairs though haha

side by side comparison under the cut + rambly artist commentary(?):

i still have a long way to go in learning proper anatomy but i think the new pose looks a lot more natural and comfortable! also ~sexier~ perhaps

i tried to make the bg look closer to the actual cg they used in the book, i am arguably better at doing backgrounds now i think! i used to not put a lot of thought into it and just blocked out random shapes and called it a day (okay, i still do that now lol but i put more care into it now !! i try to make the shapes a bit more distinct and actually plan and sketch it out rather than draw some blobs and hope for the best ldkfkhsl). also more colour range(?) to give it a bit more depth!!)

i'd also like to add that i think i'm also better at figuring out compositions now, idk how it is for y'all but when i look at the original my eyes can't help but just fall to the centre, bc there's no focal point(?) or anything that's visually interesting for the eyes to land on. plus with the way it's structured, my eyes just naturally fall to center (+ bottom half bc the skin showing through the rips are bright in contrast to the black) >_> in contrast, in the redraw your eyes are automatically drawn to the face bc it's arguably the most interesting thing on the canvas and thus acts as the visual anchor of sorts (plus there is enough contrast with the background to make cas stand out instead of blend in)

even though i cringe looking at the og i can't help but to also feel endeared bc this was one of the first immortal desires fanart i ever did and also one the first of my posts to do really well! i never expected to get that much attention since i was only posting casually but it really warmed my heart reading all the lovely comments and motivated to draw more :D

it's also really fun seeing how much my art style and techniques have evolved! i don't think i use any of the same brushes i used to use for my old pieces anymore now haha. i also watched the timelapse for the old one and am honestly kind of in awe at how my different my drawing process used to be!!

i still have a lot to learn (esp in terms of anatomy, lighting, shading etc.) but i'm happy with where i am rn! the great thing about being a hobbyist is that there isn't really any pressure for me to improve quickly so i can just take my time haha (except maybe from imposter syndrome but that's neither here nor there)

i think i could've drawn his face and expression a bit better but i think this is a satisfying enough redraw for now!

btw, these are just my thoughts! i am not an art student so the things i said might not be technically correct but this is how i make sense of things in my brain

I find it so funny when Astoria or Lewyn pop up out of nowhere whenever mc fucks up like WOW I would assume being alive for centuries would make you a little less unemployed like you two desperately need a job that's not terrorising a poor highschool kid.

Honestly MC has more patience than me by now I would've set the entire town on fire for real just out of spite.

[werkwerkelizaaa]

Oh no.

He’s narrating now.

Immortal Desires 2, Chapter 8: “Truth…”

why tf are m!Cas and f!Cas explicitly stated to be different heights why did they even feel the need to change their height depending on their gender did they forget short men and tall women exist. i'd love 5'6 m!Cas and/or 5'11 f!Cas

[sciralta]

Not Cas saying “What did we ever do to them?” about the vampire hunters lmaoooo

BRO

Terror Fest edits ft. my Immortal Desires / SICSIG MC, because:

I am physically incapable of seeing a corset without the urge to immediately put it on Luca ✨💅

Ripely Reese for @rjschoicesstuff

You’ve been so kind with taking requests for everyone in the fandom, I thought I’d gift a little something back to you. I attempted Ripely in my style (it was a hella fun draw, I just hope I did her justice).

I’ve seen Ripley with these four colors of hair and i couldn’t decide which I wanted to do. After getting the piece done I think I’m a fan of the blue one but tossed the other on just for fun (in case you preferred a different one).

Thanks for sharing your art with us ♥️

Y'all ever think about how the backstory we learned about Cas wrt them being a foster kid with one (1) family heirloom recontextualizes that scene of digging in the rubble of our home for mementos with mom in b1 or nah

ID MC: *breathes*

Lewyn and Astoria immediately after:

[hydn-jpg]

this is a sketch i did for children's day! (5th may in korea so this is from quite a while ago haha) i never had any plans to post this (which is why it's kinda jank lol) but i'm working on something Big™ rn so i thought i'd post this in the meantime!

translation here bc i'm too lazy to edit the image:

jiwon kim (age 1)

cas: you were so chubby lol

gabe: so cute!

mc's mom: isn't my jiwon just the cutest?

jiwon (my mc): moooooooomm!!

[somerandomjewelleryonthefloor]

Honestly Lewyn is stupid. He could have tried to 'romance' MC's mother to help deter her from the murders happening AND also keep a close eye on MC.

(more of this possible idea under the cut)

It would add more drama, some extra pepper in a bucket of spicy chicken wings if you ask me.

And it'd also make his character and his relationship with MC more complex. Because if he keeps it up, he might be around the house more and MC will have to deal with the fact that a coven leader is winning their mama's heart.

And if he does fall in love with MC's mama, more shit is at stake emotionally. Because Lewyn will be conflicted by the coven laws and his heart.

Like she'll go too far and he'll have to let her go, but then again he loves that woman so fucking much.

OMG THIS BOOK COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL & DRAMATIC UGHHJRJRJEJEHDHDHSH.

Ideas man. Ideas. Though PB could have executed this poorly and sometimes added flair like this can make drama be too hard to concentrate on the main plot.

But still...

Pb, I’m gonna need an LI with this body type STAT
