doing chibi is a good design exercise bc it forces u to think on shapes n essential details, essentially thumbnailing ur designs. its also a terrible design exercise bc it ends up looking cute no matter what
#dimension 20#fantasy high#riz gukgak#very specifically class swap bard!riz#fh class quangle#mm. I may need tags for all the asides Ive been doing lmao#riz's canon design is so coherent and thematically clean that I genuinely struggle to keep up...#bard!riz's whole thing is working out his identity through abject fear so it kiiiinda makes sense that hes got a different thing going#on every year I guess? like lmao the directive I go into each of these designs with changes vastly#freshman bard!riz has to look extremely nonthreatening. and also make you wanna pick him up and chuck him at a wall#annoyingly inoffensive. slides off your memory pretty much immediately. a void of an experience#crucially Does Not Show Teeth While Smiling#sophomore year bard!riz I have been keeping the like. cameraman direction for#I want him to be swimming in clothes a little bit... he kinda lands at like. 80s/90s shlocky horror protag too which I do like#bc what is season 2 to riz if not a horror story lmao#junior year bard!riz I want to be somewhere between clark kent and tintin#the journalist aesthetics is not so clear and easy to build as the detective or spy aesthetics...#but also I just. really like boy journalist lmao this is the BD blood speaking again#and! I actually do draw his hair differently than in my canon junior year riz stuff. its a bit shorter here so it doesn't#obscure as much of his face#its so funny actually going from drawing canon stuff to class swap esp. with riz bc he's smiling SO much here#and it's 100% trained like its crucial for u guys to know he is equally if not more fucked up as a bard#barely anybody can wrangle him in canon it's already been mostly him keeping himself on track. imagine if he actually learned how to act#mmm. I think these designs are still gonna soft change as I draw them. thats fine we have fun#drawing sophomore year bard!riz for those comiclets was fun as hell. I think on this factor alone I call it a success lol

hey don’t cry. 10 million blorbos from your shows, okay?
#commander cody#obi-wan kenobi#uh. i guess implied#codywan#star wars#bytebun draws#ok on twitter sometimes japanese artists i follow will caption their au posts with 'delusion for those who can accept anything'#(and then explain the au) (or at least that's what google translate tells me)#that's how i feel about this one.#can't imagine a universe where this guy would sit down to play mario cart w his bf's family after an obvious crying jag#but like maybe he watched legally blond or something & got rlly moved#abt the main character finding her own path with an identity separate from her partner without losing the core elements of her personality#and self-expression. and also winning at the law. you know?#au cody can have elle woods as his blorbo.#in my au where he's doing law things re: clone citizenship#but also fuck stylizing crying genuinely hard. idk if i can get stylistically simpler than the first pic & still convey the precise emotion#that i want. i'm cheating there with like some actual shading instead of hard lines... more studying required#it's like difficult to draw people crying bc/ it's one of those emotions that changes the whole shape of your face... the invert of a#beaming smile. the tears aren't the important part... that's why the 'stoic guy sheds single tear trope' is so funny#they're out there w their plastic immobile faces and a fake tear when the important part is all those scrunched up microexpressions#someone trying rlly hard not to cry has the deeper mouth corners & tense brow-eyelid combo & that wrinkle near the nostril#unfortunately all of these lines are also the only indication of old age in most anime lmao so its so so hard to figure out how to draw em#shld do some ch*insawman or g*lden kmy studies probably. those guys r pretty good at funny looking faces

but seriously if you're taking inspiration from emma for your story/characterisation and you DONT make them good friends who seek eachother out constantly . then you've simply missed the point
#like i get that its a thread and everyones feels for it will be different but they are not rivials or enemies to lovers theyre FRIENDS#ik ik they argue and the fight and they bicker and it's serious even!! but they are FRIENDS they want eachother around constantly!!#emma jane austen about love meaning i want to see you be better not because i dont love you like this but bc i know you want to be better#and i believe you can be. love meaning. i will be there in every change you make. meaning i want to be the one you argue with#meaning IM the friend you want to prove wrong.#also emma where mr knightley is overly grumpy and cross 🙄🙄🙄 guys he smiles so much. every other mr knightley description is just#he looks over and smiles at her. hes laughing at something she said. hes smirking. hes smiling knowingly. hes smiling at her father#hes friendly! and thats paet of why it works imo. be its so obvious how much he wants to be around her and she knows that from the start#so when they fight its like. but they both know the love is still there!#which is WHY the box hill fight is so shocking. bc it feels like suddenly a channel that has always been open between them is closed.#its whatever it doesnt matter#but you cant just have them bicker to lovers they have to be FRIENDS#what about all the times theyre not bickering. what about all the shared sly comments. what about their crazy honesty#like genuinely they're so open to eachother they will ANSWER eachothers questions#what about all the ways emma makes things more comfortable for knightley and vise versa. theyre so FRIENDS. man theyre so friends#its totally whatever but its also deadly serious to me.

sometimes i think about the fact my grandparents literally overnight just cut us off and im like. how did u even do that. does it torment you
#eeaao's 'how did you let me go so easily' moment. like i dont let myself even THINK about this too often#bc i immediately beat myself back with the 'if it's hard for you then imagine how hard it is for mum. her PARENTS cut her off'#but like. idk. my nan i couldn't give less of a shit about which is something i always find so interesting#bc even as a child with NO basis for it or any understanding of her behaviour both past and present i still wasn't Comfortable around her#like children are smart actually. i just Knew her vibes were off and i Knew my mum was weird when she was around#like i truly dont think i ever loved my nan even when she was a very frequent part of my life#but my grandad? i ADORED him. id see him multiple times a week and he's the kindest man ive ever met#and hannah what i told you about my mum saying certain people have magnetic auras THAT WAS ABOUT HIM#like i cant actually put into words what it was about him but people just wanted to know him and spend time with him#but he was weak and let my nan walk all over him and when push came to shove he chose her and now ive not spoken to him in 3 years#& i KNOW he loved me. he thought the world of me like it's a bitter unspoken thing between me & my sister that we KNOW i was his favourite#he used to buy me egg butties at agricultural shows when my mum said no and specifically ask for two eggs#he used to sit and eat his soup with me when he came over to do work at the house#he used to play with me. he used to smile all the time. i can so clearly hear the way he'd go ''iya [my name]' with his proper rural accent#or how he'd tell anyone who would listen 'she's tough as old boots that one'#and i could make him laugh like NO ONE else could and he'd light up and go 'give over' and he genuinely enjoyed my company#i KNOW HE DID. and i havent spoken to him in 3 years. he'll be dead soon#and i cant talk to my mum about it bc it's her DAD it is so much worse for her and i cant talk to my sister about it#bc she wasn't close with him like i was and she just shuts the conversation down and those are the only two people#who know my grandad and know what he meant to me so im just here like. he literally stopped speaking to me overnight#i stopped hearing from him i stopped meeting up with him im so so angry with him the love is still there i dont know where to put it now#why couldnt he stay. why did he pick her when she's a loveless void of inhumanity. why werent we enough#hella goes home#my grandparents on my dad's side are also not in the picture funnily enough but idgaf about them. she got that grandparentless swag

i was really hoping to see beomgyu in the credits for writing and/or producing at least one of the tracks so i'm feeling kinda upset that literally everyone else worked on at least 2 songs while he got nothing bc that probably means they all wrote stuff and he was the only one whose lines didn't get approved :(

i dont hate alain over the kalos league bc tbh i dont really care all that much about it since in hindsight ash has now won the literal world championship, and i think the unova league loss was easily far worse in themes, narrative, and tone while ash vs alain is at least a good spectacle even if (from what i remember and what ive seen thus far) the setup is messy as hell, and its not as funny as tobias so i dont really think about it
but man these episodes really have not endeared me to him

@avaere asked :
" interesting sword . "
walking up to dehya in a moment of peace from debates and preparations , ayato took his chance to inspect the woman who lingered in the room . the elders of this family was boring, not at all interesting, merely something ayato had to go through. there were so many other things he ached to do; see sumeru, taste the local food ... test the strength of the locals.
placing himself in front of her, ayato stood taller than her, blue eyes gazing down on her as a warm smile began forming on thin lips. intrigued, to say the least, he wasn't quite ready to let go of this woman.
" i assume you would be more than willing to hold it up against my person if i proved to be bothersome ? ... but , are you skilled with it ? it is quite the big blade. "

Tumblr media
─「ديهيا」─  the meeting and politics had never been a subject of interest for the MERCENARY despite how many times she had been employed to protect these well-known family members and wealthy diplomats. most of the time, she was paid to guard something of value, be it their treasures, the relics, or the heirs and heiresses to the family itself. after all, treasures weren't always items or gold, and she had little to no qualm in becoming a BODYGUARD should the situation called for it. as long as the compensation was worth it, and the nature of the work didn't go against her own core values, then the contract is sealed.
                however, ever since she had met this person, things had taken a rather interesting turn, though on the surface, the mercenary herself didn't let anything slip past cautious gaze sparing towards the person.
                kamisato ayato. a diplomat from inazuma, they called him.
                her eyes had been following him the moment he entered the room. a person who carried a certain charm that drew people's attention towards him, but the reason that her line of vision had been trained on him wasn't due to ANY of that charm he possessed. it was something else entirely, something even the flame-mane cannot put her finger on.
                he must be used to this kind of meetings, this kind of relationships. the smile on his lips was on cue, as if he had been trained to offer the polite gestures and respectful smile to the figures he was exchanging words with. with all the smiles he offered others, none ever reached his eyes, she noted. not that these wealthy families would take notice of that, either. dehya had her arms crossed, back leaned against the wall to the FURTHEST CORNER of the room. keeping guard, and observing them.
                no wasted movements, another thing to note with his demeanor. soothing voice, polite manners, clothes that were weaved from finest silk yet not revealing anything to the eyes, barely any patches of skin. a cautious person, yet each step he took was of confidence, as though he owned the very room he walked upon. back straight, head held high, a posture of true leader but one couldn't ignore how precise his movements were. gloved digits, and a family crest worn PROUDLY. those diplomats probably thought him to be a young lord, but she could tell; those eyes, that smile —
                — that's the look of someone who's willing to do anything to ensure his loved ones' safety. someone who's willing to taint his hands so the ones he's protecting would keep theirs clean.
                his COMMENT regarding her trusted weapon came as quite a surprise, and light blue hues lifted to meet his own azure ones. she had not moved an inch from where she was, only allowing her head to cant upwards and lips pulled into a subtle grin at his sentences.
Tumblr media
                " you're making it sound like you want me to use it against you. wouldn't peg you as someone who likes being pinned down. " a playful jab with a knowing smile to match, before she shifted her weight from one leg to the other, allowing her frame to face him proper. gaze of ice studied him most carefully. it wasn't often that they would be standing in close proximity of one another, yet, there was something about this man that tugged at her. she couldn't give a proper explanation despite having tried. a tilt of head, and a thoughtful hum escaped her.
                " you seem like a skilled fighter yourself. one might not be able to tell with the outfit you have on, but i know a skilled fighter when i see one. " perhaps, that word wouldn't be something one would use to describe him, of all people. but she was a survivor, a desert-dweller, she knew the eyes of those who were willing to sacrifice himself for his goal. or in his case, to prevail in a dog-eat-dog world.
                " why don't you test it yourself after this ? " her gaze narrowed slightly, like a promise, and a challenge. " let me bear witness to the skills you honed over the years. if you win, you're free to ask anything of me, as long as it is within my power. however, if i win — "
                " — you'd give me a real smile, not the one you've perfected. deal ? "

Daniel/Ellie sketchpage!!!
Been becoming more and more fond of them as a ship recently and wanted to try drawing the greedy merchant gal and the mischievous do-good dragon guy!!
All the dragon guy/human gal ships in this story are really full of chemistry and these two are no exception. They've barely got any meaningful interactions between them and yet somehow they're still oozing with cute feels between them. Really makes me root for them to become an established relationship, especially since the creator handles both characters really, REALLY well already and i wanna see what they're like when they both reciprocate interest in each other :Dc
#the mighty extra#Daniel#Ellie#this took me like 8 hours total HOW#tumblr please don't eat the quality i promise this looks good in csp#I know Daniel has wings canonically in his dragon form but boi do i not want to draw them#plus my mind keeps thinking of him as a sea-based dragon and i think it's fitting if he's more a drake than a dragon#one that happens to be good at swimming and probs blends into the deeper sea w/ his rocky backside bc of his time spent at sea#really happy Ellie is going down the same route as Helene in that she's like “oh you have feelings for me? so okay anyways about that plot-#like#i cannot understate how much of a smile it puts on my face to see Daniel and Paris so clearly state their interest to their gal LIs#and the girls both just kind of don't even acknowledge such comments bc plot > fawning over their love interest characters#IT'S SO REFRESHING YOU HAVE NO IDEA#ive read so many isekai stories and TME's romance pairings are probably the most memorable ive seen so far???#tho tbf i think the entire named cast is genuinely memorable from the sunk cost Empress lady to the bratty glasses princess who i rly like#probably helps all the gals involved very much have lives outside their LIs and getting closer to said LIs only helps grow their characters#especially in terms of the plot!!#which i utterly ADORE#any time the gals interact with the guys in this story it always comes with some kind of plot revelation attached and i greatly enjoy that~#seriously i need to study this manga it's literally the epitome of how i want to write romance in any of my stories when i do write for it#ik it's not canon (yet) but i rly enjoy the idea of dragons becoming more lovesick for their partners the closer they get to them#and Daniel being lovesick for Ellie is really cute to me ngl so i tried to draw it here
