#harder to cover up things than digital yknow

[yoru-kage]

maybe this info is floating around on your blog somewhere and i'm sorry if i missed it, but what drawing program(s) do you use? also i was going thru your art tag and i'm so very fascinated by your style. do you always do lineart first, or do you approach digital painting totally different? that benoit blanc painting is Insanely Good

Thank you! I use Clip Studio Paint. For digital paintings I either start off with a very rough sketch for the initial feel/pose etc. or just skip it and slap paint on :D Usually the latter with portraits. The shapes get further refined afterwards. I work on one layer out of habit and prefer oil paint brushes with blending properties. Here are some progress pics to show my work process. This painting remains unfinished because I ended up disliking the pose :")

Here's one that did get finished (used Rebelle 5 instead of CSP). I wasn't using references during the first pic so it's a bit wonky.

And a progress pic of Benoit. I like to combine elements from a few reference pictures (such as lighting of one pic and expression of another, but the facial angles don't match) so it takes some poking before I can get the forms right.

i only read tumblr once a day because i [try] to stay sane so only just caught up with the art discourse, which I do have some bits n shit I want to add: a bit fasile for one but, dont you as an artist have upkeep and resource needs to produce? even if its just like...computer, tablet and necessities to continue existence because art takes time to make, those are real, and cost money. "art" in an absolute sense can be made for free with minimal time through just thinking, but like, a webcomic that is a physical thing made of electronic patterns and hosted on a server, takes time and takes stuff. "Webcomics" isnt a free infinitely repeating resource, and you are more than a machine to create webcomic, and none of us are infinite as a resource! at worst, art hits public domain eventually. that said even from that place of survival in capitalistic society it DOES make sense to at least have free public facing art as PROMOTION even if its just idk downtime sketches, doodles, memes, fanart etc so like im not 100% disagreeing yknow, and I am not and artists cant be a paying consumer my/their own art, art has to exist for the self too, the self that isnt a "paying class", or i just start making marvel movies and then its time to find my cool wet hole in the dirt and express my creative individuality like im a mathmatician of statistical analysis of fluid dynamics.

now that im awake i was going to answer these point by point, but this kind of flies past my point that making art exclusively for those who pay is abysmal and treating your audience like they're thieves is a poisonous and off-putting response to one's perceived "loss of income" (which is not even theft because the item being "stolen" can be reproduced infinitely. im talking about like a digital image like a comic page and not a physical item where there's limited copies lol). people either want to pay you or they dont; you can't force people to pay you by making access to your work harder, worse, more inconvenient, and more degrading to your audience. you can't induce artificial scarcity and be a good person.

like yeah obviously art production takes money. that's why most artists work desk jobs instead of trying to make it a solo venture and just expecting the world around them to pick up their slack. i didn't come out of a lotus blossom with a tablet ready to go, i worked desk jobs from age 15-24 in order to have enough savings to cushion myself if need be and pay for base supplies. i use tablets and items gifted/sold to me at a steep discount by my friends. i lived really poor in order to have the life i wanted. and i really loved it lol. i still think of that time so fondly.

once the comic is produced and posted, it is free for my audience to look at and the reproduction costs of the finished image is 0 dollars. it can be copied and reposted freely without charge. it costs me basically nothing to host. the production costs are currently covered by patreon donations. if they were no longer covered by patreon donations i would get a desk job instead of making my choice to go into the financially unsuccessful field of the arts my audience's personal problem to solve. if i don't make things people want to buy, that's my problem and not my audience's.

yeah, it would suck to have to stop doing this because its no longer financially viable (it is really financially hard right now; the state of the world around us is not conductive to the patreon life), but i wasn't entitled to it anyway. i get to make art for a living bc i have an audience that permits me to. why would i start treating them like dogshit or lying about value of my work to squeeze extra money out of them after what they gifted me?

💜Controlling the Commander💜

Erwin eyed the contraption in Y/N’s hand with some sense of apprehension. She had mentioned this particular fantasy while he had been thinking of something else. When he had offhandedly agreed to it, he didn’t realize what exactly she was talking about.

He shot her a dirty look as she grinned at him. “You know I wasn’t listening when I said yes to this, Y/N.” He said.

She rolled her eyes at him, leveling with him a look that called him incredible stupid. He knew she learned that look from Levi, damn him.

“No shit. That’s why I slid this one past you.” She shot him a cheeky look that made him want to pull her over his lap and put his hand to that luscious ass of hers.

His lover had clearly thought she was a smart little thing, sneaking something like this by him while his mind was preoccupied with the upcoming budget reports. She had him agree to let her peg him.

He looked into her eyes, seeing the naked excitement in her eyes and knew that he couldn’t back out of it. He looked back down at the strap on she was holding, and scowled. “Did you have to get one so big?” He muttered.

Y/N laughed at him, setting it down on his desk before coming to settle herself on his lap. Erwin pushed back slightly to let her have a bit more room between him and his desk, his arms going around her easily.

She leaned up and breathed into his ear, biting it gently before whispering. “You always seem so proud when you work your gigantic cock in my ass, Erwin. You too afraid to be on the receiving end?”

He growled at her, squeezing her against him as he turned his head to kiss her. “I’m tempted to put you over this desk and make that ass red from my hand. Go on and get ready, I’ll be in there in a minute.” He said.

He patted her on the butt as she got up. Watching the swinging of her hips as she sauntered towards their quarters, he wondered what the fuck he had gotten into. He looked around his office and chuckled to himself. This should be easy, as the Commander of the Survey Corps, he should be used to getting fucked every day, only this time it was literally.

“Knees or on your back?” Y/N asked.

Erwin paused in pulling his boots off to look over at where Y/N was sitting on the bed. The contraption was already in place, the large fake dildo standing up like she actually had an erection.

“You decide” He said, wanting her to play this out however she wanted it.

“Back. I want to see your face.” She said, reaching over to pat the bed beside her.

Erwin stripped down and moved over to the bed, feeling a bit out of place not being in control like he normally was. Even when she rode him, they both knew that he was the one in charge.

He let her take the lead. Laying down he watched as she came over and set a container of lube on the bed beside him. She knelt over him, straddling him to give him a kiss. His lips responded eagerly, getting into a rhythm as they melded together.

They were both panting as they broke apart. Y/N giving him another small kiss before moving down and uncapping the bottle of lube. She spread a generous amount on her fingers before smearing it in between his spread cheeks.

He was grateful she was giving him the consideration of prepping him. She rubbed around his hole before slowly pressing a single finger into him, easing past the tight ring of muscles.

Erwin took a breath, it wasn’t painful, just unusual. Normally he was the one fingering her, and Gods knew he never let any other lover do this.

She started pumping the finger in and out of him, his blue eyes focused on her face while he tried to figure out how it made him feel having his ass played with. When she could easily move that finger, he felt another digit being pressed into him.

More pressure made his stomach flip. She worked him open, applying a bit more of the lube and was soon spreading her fingers apart to stretch him even more. His breathing had sped up, his hands flexing the in the sheets were they were twisted ever time she brushed up against something inside of him.

Erwin hadn’t realized he whined when she pulled her hand away. Her startled look was quickly replaced by a grin as she slicked the dildo up with more lube to make it comfortable for him.

“Ready babe?” She asked, her hands on his thighs, spreading them wider so she could move into position.

He nodded, unable to articulate exactly what he wanted. His cock was harder than he imagined it would be, throbbing against his stomach as he felt the tip of the dildo push into his ass.

He gasped as the head slipped past the ring of his sphincter, having to remind his body to relax. Y/N worked slowly, small thrusts as she worked it deeper into his ass. He didn’t know if he wanted her to go slower or just slam it into him, so he kept quiet, biting his lip to keep from yelling out.

He groaned when he felt her hips against him. The long hard dildo filling him completely. He felt himself flush a bit at the way he was starting to squirm under her, wanting her to move as she held still for a long moment.

She gave him another grin and pulled out of him before thrusting her hips forward sharply, impaling him again with the toy.

His hips lifted up as he cried out, amazed by the feeling. “Shit!”

He didn’t have time to think, only feel as she started moving at a steady pace, his grunts filling the room every time she pushed forward. Erwin couldn’t believe that it could feel like this.

She moved his legs up, putting his long limbs up on her shoulders as she continued to fuck him. The first drive into his body almost made him leap off the bed from the change in angles. The pleasure from where the toy hit inside his body making him arch up shamelessly.

His cock was leaking desperately, his balls aching for release as she hit that spot over and over again. He thought about stroking himself, but couldn’t let go of the sheets where he had twisted them around his fists. And he didn’t know if Y/N wanted him to cum that way.

If she kept hitting that spot that she found, he felt like he was going to explode even without being touched. He didn’t know if he would be embarrassed if he came from just having his ass fucked, but he needed her to go faster.

She gave him what he wanted, snapping her hips into him harder and faster as he moaned his pleasure underneath her. She eyed the red cock that was throbbing at his stomach, it was twitching with every thrust.

Erwin had his head thrown back and his eyes closed, his hips lifting to meet her. Those deep blue eyes shot open as he gasped at the feel of her hand wrapped around his cock.

She had lubed up her hand and was pumping him at the same pace of her thrusts, her hand tight around him. He felt his balls draw up within seconds of her pumping him, his orgasm cresting at that moment.

“Fuck! FUCK, Y/N!” He yelled as he bucked up into her hand, hot ropes of cum spurting from the tip of his cock. Shooting up to paint his stomach and chest. She pumped him through his orgasm, continuing to fuck his ass until he couldn’t cry out anymore.

He was panting as she came to a stop, his eyes wide as he looked down at the mess he had made. Y/N looked down at her lover, covered with cum, wrecked and breathing hard from her fucking his ass. He looked hot like that, her pussy dripping with arousal from her pegging him.

She took off the toy, and went into the bathroom to clean it, bringing back a towel to wipe his release off of him. As soon as she cleaned him up, he grabbed the rag and tossed it on the floor, pulling her down against him.

He sighed, exhausted before commenting. “That was surprising.”

Y/N laughed as she pushed up to look down at his relaxed face. Controlling the Commander might happen a bit more often if he enjoyed it that much. She grinned as she reached down to stroke his spent cock, he might have gotten his release, but she hadn’t.
