Creepy old guy
#beetlejuice#beetlejuice musical#betlegeuse#character design#lydia deetz#art#digital art#fanart#can u tell I like bugs#I wanted him to have wings so bad but having them visible all the time made the design feel cluttered#and having him just shapeshift them sometimes feels cheap especially when I dont want him to fly with them anyway#and then I was like.... elytra coat.....#He looks like he has blush on his face but that is just mold#I finished watching the musical finally and im absolutely in love with it. Has to be one of my top musicals of all time#and its definitely my favorite portrayal of beetlejuice too#How am I supposed to resist when hes so sad and miserable and pathetic#Youre telling me hes a silly little guy AND he sings???? Get this man his green card

RESERVING JUDGEMENTS IS A MATTER OF INFINITE HOPE
And, after boasting this way of my tolerance, I come to the admission that it has a limit. Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes but after a certain point I don't care what it's founded on. When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction—Gatsby who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away. This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the "creative temperament"—it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again.
-The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
I've been rotating through some ideas for visuals, rattling around thoughts about voyeuristic claustrophobia. idk, summer weather is here and it's got me thinking about gatsby! it's a summer re-read book for me. almost an annual tradition at this point ngl
#i say almost bc i was re reading it twice a year depending on my mood when i was living in Massachusetts#currently im living in (redacted) and now i do seasonal re reads of J G Ballard's works. ANYWAY.#the great gatsby#i actually did layouts for some gatsby comics a couple years back but i didnt have time to draw any of it lol#also just didn't have any concrete ideas for how to draw any of the environments. in 2025 i have acquired Concrete Ideas For Visuals#and Themes Conveyed By Visuals. hopefully! i will find the time to draw any of it as comics. now to figure out character designs#until then. there can always be illustrations. and whatever the hell this kind of pseudo tarot card thing is

woe wasteland au be upon ye
the dandy's world brainrot was so bad I put my oc in an au💔
CW: long post
all you need to know (mostly) about Panna
-certified girlfailure
-nervous wreck
-almost died on day 2
-sleep deprived artist
-crybaby
-kinda op but not really
-avoided making a mary sue by nerfing her to the ground
-oh the blot on her face? we'll talk about it eventually
demonstration of how her item works
about the being abysmal in close combat thing, I ain't kidding
the only toon she can beat in a fist fight is toodles
her physical strength is only as much as cosmo but at least he's got decent durability
like girl is cooked if she ever runs out of magic
that's what I meant when I say I nerfed her to the ground
she NEEDS to be group or else she'd just die (das exactly what happened)
really close with flutter and astro so ideally she can't be in a group with them cuz I'm mean like that:]
blake you've got competition
astro and panna's relationship is strictly platonic, almost sibling-like
maybe something something romantic implications with flutter but idk
oh and panna's a paintbrush if you haven't guessed by now

#yes i used comic sans for the font😔#fite me#if you drop the font name ill edit this post#i might need to update the design already aughh#tried to mimic fizz's style with the character intro card#failed spectacularly#srry if the wording (character card) is weird idk how to phrase it better#i didnt like the dw yuri options so i made my own✨#might not be canon in this au tho#just in the original dw#i am cringe but i am free#dw wasteland au#dandys world wasteland au#dw au#dandys world au#oc#original character#oc au#ill yap more but the post is as long as it already is#ig im tagging the other characters too#dw flutter#dw astro#dw cosmo#dw toodles#al's faves#al’s faves#al’s rambles#not posting on main since this is too self indulgent

Director of the False Last Act
#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint#orv spoilers#han sooyoung#art i made#another of the drawings i fished out of my drafts that i completely forgot id started#if the face doesnt look like how i usually draw hsy uh. i apparently did the lineart like 4 months ago#and the way i used to draw her was WAY different#like i had to redo the face cuz i was like man this aint my girl wtf#oh yeah the sort of. watsonian reason why the title of the book shes holding is scrubbed out is bc it could either be twsa or orv i guess#the doylist reason is i couldnt decide between twsa or orv so now its neither LOL#side note but like. intellectually i know the thousand hand guan yin is like an actual thing in buddhism but my familiarity with it is#mostly from the dance move#so like as i was colouring this i was just imagining hsy like creating this pose in universe w the avatars which. one hell of an image#only two of the hands are supposed to represent like specific points in the story the rest are just. symbolic...?#the lemon candy one is obvious and the knife one is meant to be from when she stabs 49!kdj in the epilogue#also holy god im so bad at coming up with backgrounds for this kind of art#the original background i had i think i was trying to make it look like some kind of. book cover...? hence the borders#whatever it was it wasnt working#now i have no idea what its supposed to be 👍 like its giving. poorly designed tarot card

⟢NEW PFP, LAYOUT & USERNAME⟢
I wanted to make an update to the blog as a whole, with an actual icon of my artwork, some matching gif as header and a new username! Finally changed from Alecz to Lez, the "bichi" part comes from a silly way I say the word "bicho" (bug), fitting for the theme;]
#troupe master grimm#grimm#hollow knight#hk#my hk designs#lez'makingz#nkg#nightmare king grimm#love how the way I draw Grimm keeps getting cuntier#the noise filter blended the lazy shading so well#details details on the card I hope someone gets (and somehow sees them by how small it is........)#changing users was something I wanted to do for so long but I just couldn't decide what to change it too#mayhaps it's not permanent still#and thats ok#nvm had after thoughts#will go with lezbichilover instead I really liked that one from my telegram

Today (June 12) is officially Hiveminds birthday according to his dossier, so I thought I would continue making birthday posters for characters, which means it's now Hiveminds turn!
But wait, that's not all!
I also finished the Hivemind voice line compilation just in time for today as well, so here's that as well!
youtube
#ieytd#i expect you to die#ieytd fandom#original art#the hivemind#hivemind ieytd#hivemind#Told you all I would be (somewhat) on time for this one!#I think more people need to see some of his voice lines#I truly about died during seat of power hearing about the “b's” (bees) on his report cards in high school#Happy birthday Hivemind!#fun fact in case anyone is wondering how he can smoke with the bee suit mask!#the main bee suit mask thing isn't actually a mask at all! It's a veil!#Specifically a custom fabric designed for him by the fabricator that#when viewed at different angles is either opaque or transparent#since he's tall anyone looking up at him (most people) can't see through it at all#helping him be more intimidating if need be(e)#doesn't work on everyone though#so those taller than him can see the dork underneath the bee suit (although most people can tell anyway)#Next up should be Solaris if I'm not mistaken so be on the lookout for that when the time comes!#Another fun fact#The antennas on his hat are how he controls the bees! Tech antennas as much as they are insect!#Youtube

My Happy Marriage Season 1

#my happy marriage#Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon#miyo saimori#kaya saimori#Kazushi Tatsuishi#kanoko saimori#sumi saimori#sumi usuba#kimono#my happy marriage designs#watakon#halka comments how after she makes the designs and okamatasu adjusts colors there is a third person who has to fit the patterns in the shot#and like. obsviously someone has to do it but I hadn't thought about it. that's impressive#also to know they hired someone specifically for the kimonos...I'm charmed#I mean she also designs other stuff in the series (title cards / wrappers / THE comb / etc) but

Yknow, I always wondered why I kept noticing that a lot of Icebound fanartists draw a lot of Jornir, and he ends up being a lot of artists favorite character in general. And like, for a while I didn’t quite understand it.
And then I started drawing him and like. I get it now. That old man is very fun to draw.
#I mean the design isn’t exactly like his canon design#but it’s close enough to know the character im trying to draw#also. gives me an excuse to try out new nose types.#which I’ve been trying to do for other loa characters. like Gideon or Torbek or Gricko#but I don’t draw any of them often enough to make their specific noses#also ngl wasn’t a huge fan of jornirs character until I got fo the Ogreton arc and beyond#and we got to see more Silly Jornir#Silly Jornir is Best Jornir imo#man should be a little silly more often. he deserves it.#legends of avantris#icebound#jornir#it’s funny how the only reason why I started doing a separate drawing of him is purely bc I need to do his tarot card next#and I had no idea how to draw him bc I knew I wasn’t going to do a 1:1 on his original design#but I needed to know how I would draw him first and foremost before doing an action scene for the card

ocs ive had cooking in my brain
#I’m reusing old story concepts that hit some dead ends and mashing them together!!!#the bunny’s name is presto and if that sounds familiar I was gonna use him for different story but#I couldn’t find a way to get his dynamic with the other character to work or make sense#the other one is one Ive been brainstorming for some time now and their name is silhouette#nothing is concrete yet and I might end up changing their designs a few times#im thinking presto works as a jeweller and that’s how he met silhouette.. im really into the phantom thief trope though#so I don’t think theyre aggressive more like a cat burglar I guess?? I really need to watch more action/heist movies ugh#the authors poorly disguised Kaitou Kid crush#I’m still using prestos magician alter ego though. thats his “”disguise”” when he does heists#he wants to be as flashy as possibly to attract silhouette but because hes not much of a thief it doesn’t do much for actual stealing#and it creates unwanted attention on silhouettes part because he does his thefts extremely discreetly#he is a little dramatic though he has a calling card and a costume too. just more sneaky#my art#myart#my oc#oc#oc lore#silhouette#presto#doodles#love at first heist
