#i just draft sketches and that kinda stuff

[rielzero]

29-32, design for the act 3 Timeline in Dragon Age 2 when you can encounter Alistair as Hawke. This is what Sparrow looks like, I suppose the outfit's color scheme will be a bit inspired by what he wears in the late game of the Awakening DLC ? All though that armor might be too old by then.. So it's a refurbished or new set.

I might draft a few more outfits for him, but he looks a lil skinnier when he gets older (at least in the face) Cheekbones get more prominent and his hair thins out somewhat. (He cuts it shorter too and slicks it back more.)

I... I can't draw beards very well still, it shouldn't look this awkward on Alistair but more like in the comic. (And Yes they have a height difference.)

Depending on who's penning, he has more facial hair it seems. He probably shaves it from time to time.

falling down a new hole has also made it really clear how much of a statistical anomaly starship is for me like im fully capable of drawing sweet romantic moments for my ships i just refuse to ever draw VR-LA being happy i guess

[ramshacklerumble]

i had this sketch for an ask @thehollowwriter sent me AGES ago, like it was rotting in my drafts since you sent it (i’m sorry i never got to it, the adhd brain be adhd’ing unfortunately) but it’s silly and i’m going through my mountain of asks and stuff slowly weeding stuff out

just a quick like thing between riddle and gia— believe it or not, they actually do get along. gia does do their best to respect riddle when they’re visiting heartslabyul (which they do often thanks to ace and deuce ofc) so they do try to abide by house rules while there. riddle does appreciate that gia will study with adeuce and shows a genuine aptitude for teaching (foreshadowing anyone?) and while they’re not especially close, their friendship does build up more specifically over gia’s sophomore year sine trey and cater are gone for their internship, riddle ends up being kinda absorbed into the heartshackle gang.

that being said, gia will ABSOLUTELY go behind riddle’s back when they need to get shit done with no regards to Da Rules(tm). they like him just fine and they do acknowledge his efforts in self-betterment, but riddle do be riddling and gia couldn’t give a rancid fuck about laws. they’ll humor him, but only to a certain extent.

Comic based on the robocat from seven's route when he stays at the apt for the first few days =)

I planned this comic like 2-3 years ago? I had the drafts & sketches rotting in my sketchbook and I figured I should to finish what younger me started! Truthfully I'm not really into the game anymore but I had a bunch of stuff I came up with and I'm at a point where I'm pretty satisfied w/ my art so why not finish it yk? I still have more stuff coming out ofc so stay tuned 🙀

Also, this is like, the first ever comic I've ever rly done so sorry if it's kinda weird to follow 😭 it's not perfect by any means i just do this for fun. I tried keeping it as being read from left to right.

OLD SCHOOL ANIMATION NERDS, I SUMMON THEE TO ASSIST

Hey! Vanna here! So I recently, in a rage at the loss of the end-of-series lot of production materials, bought a cheaper lot I had been curious about, and I kinda struck animation history gold with it! Try as I might to pull the whole context together, I need y'alls help accurately naming and identifying what I have!!! There are MANY MORE of these, all from the same episode, an Utena one, a LOT of Nanami, and a group shot even, all following this similar formula. But let's be honest, Vanna and Yasha wanted that sweet Touga smugness. Analysis and questions below the cut! These aren't ALL the sheets, there are ones for the face shape and sleeve also but to demonstrate. Also, fucking amazingly, I also have the storyboards for this episode, so I can even tell you the shot number is 287 ISNT THAT COOL

So Utena fans. You may or may not know, but episodes 6 and 8 had very chaotic productions, and did end up getting swapped in the end. Per Ikuhara's directory commentary in the Nozomi Blu-ray:

He makes explicit reference here to Akemi Hayashi, credited as the animation director for the episode. I can't recall where I saw it now, but I know the difficulty of drawing Touga on model is mentioned somewhere in all the production stuff I have.

Now. Here's the problem. I DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT THEISIWEUGWEYGF what do I callll these. My understanding is the the douga is the final line art, transferred onto the cel, and that is the only thing that you call a douga. A douga is the 1:1 match to its cels in a sequence. With an anime like Utena, it's pretty often going to be included with the cel, if you obtain one. These are douga, the final line art that creates the animation, scans donated by JadeSabre and edited into sequence. The frames are numbered in the top right, and there are no notes or anything drawn on the sheets.

Now. That is NOT what I have above. So none of these materials are douga, they are...genga? Help? (This will get wild with Nanami, where I even have a green sketch that is clearly like, VERY FIRST draft of the shot...)

What I have are the key frames, to my understanding. Meaning these represent a point much earlier in the production process. On first glance, the white sheets are significantly cleaner, but they are also so far off model they're flying along with the Voyager probes in interstellar space. They're very capably drawn, don't get me wrong, but they're clearly done by someone who is not on the Dorito face bandwagon. This is apparently pretty common? You get your initial key frame sketches (genga??) made, and then the animation direction (Hayashi??) grades your work by making messier, but more on model versions of the shots. These are the yellow 'correction' genga?

The douga of this shot are likely with the cels. There are 11 distinct cels of Touga's face (others for the sleeve), guided by the 4 key frame sketches I have here. Looked at individually, I can even see where the filled in frames struggle a bit more to be on model than the key ones, even in the final product.

So clearly, what I have are some pretty early process materials where there was a bit of a back and forth about how to draw the characters. The others I have are similar corrections, but this is the absolute most drastic one. It's like they said 'just do it like kinda shoujo and we'll iron it out later.'

The question I have is...can I safely assume these yellow correction sheets are actually Akemi Hayashi originals? Or would there have been another person in this process doing this correction work instead? Would there be a way to know who drew the original ?genga? That may not be possible to ascertain, but it would be really cool to try, since this episode was a Chaos Production, since I have the actual storyboard for it, since I now have a neat piece of context about what the Chaos might have meant. This shot always stuck out to me in the first arc, because it's true that for a lot of the first arc, Touga and Saionji look....far more like the first drafts here. The strict adherence to the Hasegawa style gets enforced later in the series, but this is an example of the exchange that needed to occur to get folks on board with what was a pretty unique art style.

PS. This is torture, the shape of these means I actually need to make two scans of each one and stitch them together, which is nervewracking when you want them to overlap properly and also you don't want to wreck your toilet paper ass production materials pressing them into the scanner bed. Also several are fucking taped together and lemme tell you, 25 year old 'clear tape' don't stay clear and don't stay sticky.

Basically, any context or knowledge anyone can impart I would appreciate a lot! I know I've got something really cool here, but I am struggling to get much clear information about it, because Google is broken.

୨୧ Genre: graduate school au/smut/angst/a lil fluffy

୨୧ Summary: It was never your intention to infiltrate one of the most exclusive social circles at your new university, seducing rich boys to get who and what you want. Wait, no, it was.

୨୧ Word Count: 1.7k-ish

୨୧ Warnings: reader's in her villain era, demon line are wealthy low key villains too, strong language, some dom demon line/sub reader dynamics, you sleep with everyone darling, oral sex (m & f receiving), swallowing, pet names (good girl), obsession, probably a praise kink (who am I kidding? it's for sure a theme), jealousy/light possessiveness, sugar baby origins, unprotected sex, a lil drop of rough sex, marking, fingering, mention of multiple orgasms, public spicy stuff, light choking, scratching, nibbling, dry humping, & that's it, babes.

୨୧ A/N: This baby has sorta just been chilling in the drafts cause I kinda get nervous to post sometimes but I'm gonna let her be free now. This one focuses on Hwa moreso but Joong and San will get their time too. Yunho's also a part of this, just not quite yet. So, yes, I hope you like it!

୨୧ Part Two is Here ୨୧

Observe a weekly study session held by three best friends. It takes place every Sunday, almost ritualistically so, at 3:00pm sharp in the apartment of ringleader Kim Hongjoong. Situated at the top floor of an old university office turned luxury apartment building, it has a vintage charm to it that somehow makes it feel more absurdly expensive than it already is. 

Observe that, despite their long held agreement that this is a “study” session, no one’s actually studying. Not Choi San lounging in the brown Italian leather chair, mindlessly chewing on one of the legs of his round rimmed glasses when he should be wearing them instead. 

Not Hongjoong painstakingly rearranging the shoes by the door. Seonghwa’s black Dior Oxfords can’t go near Hongjoong’s custom leather Prada sneakers. They are custom after all. 

Not Seonghwa who’s leaning by the window doodling on the crisp pages of his $200 copy of the Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, an act that would be blasphemous to someone like him on any other day.

But no one’s doing anything they’d do on a normal day because this isn’t a normal day. They’re distracted, unable to peel their minds free from the events of last night and it’s all your fault. 

Staring down at the space between his legs, San can only think about the fact that you were there. You, the new girl with your pretty face and soft cheeks. Cheeks that were even softer as he gently cupped them, pressing the tip of his cock to the back of your throat.

The way that you whimpered, spit dripping from the corners of your mouth, is etched into his memory. If he could rewind time he’d do it over and over just to hear those same whimpers muffled by his cum filling your cheeks. You swallowed him so well, not spilling a drop.

“Such a good girl” he’d whispered, petting your hair as your head lay in his lap. Such a good, good girl. 

By the window, Seonghwa’s still sketching away. The level of intensity and focus on his face does wonders to make it appear as if the motion of his hand has even a shred of intent behind it. None of it means anything, just a half hearted attempt at busying a brain that keeps reminding him how he fucked you against the very window he leans upon. This exact spot actually. 

You, with your plush body and sweet voice had begged, as his lips met yours, “Please don’t stop.” It was pure bliss to have your nails digging into his forearms, the walls of your deliciously warm pussy clenching around him.

You were wet enough that your thighs were almost too slippery to grip when he parted them to sink in deeper. No girl has ever been that needy for him before, so desperate to be ruined by him. Fuck, he wants to ruin you. 

“I need a drink” Hongjoong huffs, rushing off to the kitchen. Drinking’s never been something he’s just done. He considers self medication through alcohol to be silly but what else is he meant to do? He needs something to overwhelm his palate and kill the nagging craving to taste you on his tongue.

You, with your bright eyes and innocent smile, had hopped your cute ass on the counter and let him drink from your pussy until he saw stars. How adorable you’d been, kicking your feet each time his tongue stimulated your sensitive clit, his fingers teasing your sweet spot. “One more for me” he cooed and you gave him exactly what he wanted. More.

It’s all any of them want now. More, more, more. They made a promise to each other that what happened last night could only ever happen again if you were all together. The four of you. Not three. Certainly not two. The boys would do with you what best friends do with all things, share, but sharing’s much easier said than done when you don’t truly want to. 

Seonghwa slams his book shut, snapping back to reality at a speed too dizzying for the others. “I need to go” Seonghwa announces, scrambling to shove his things into his bag. San sits up in the chair, popping his glasses back on.

“Go? Where are you going?”

“I, uh, I have to go look for something. I’ll see you guys later.”

Hongjoong steps back into the living room just in time to hear the door slam as Seonghwa exits. “Where’s he off to?” A question with only one logical answer that pisses San off the second it dawns on him.

“Where do you think?”

The scholarships aren’t nearly enough. They were enough to get you here but being able to stay? That’s a different story. And so you find yourself here on a Sunday evening, picking up hours at the university’s library to make some extra money.

It’s a grueling schedule. Weekdays waitressing at a five star restaurant, weekends at the library, and every waking hour outside of that spent with your face buried in your books. Well, almost every waking hour. Lately you’ve managed to find time for other things.

Wheeling a cart full of books down one of the aisles, you nearly run over some girl’s feet. “Hey, watch it!” she shouts, shooting you a look that says she wants to tear your head off. “I’m really sorry” you apologize, slinking to the side to let her squeeze past.

“These shoes cost more than your rent, you know that?” she spits before storming off in the other direction.

Everyone’s like that here, always throwing their money in your face. Mommy and daddy’s money anyway. You don’t have what they do, it’s like they can smell it on you, and they’ll never let you forget it. “These shoes cost more than your rent, you know that?” you mock, picking up a book to slip onto one of the shelves. “They’re fucking hideous anyway.” 

“Uh, hey, everything okay?” a voice asks from behind you. You jump, nearly tripping over one of the cart’s wheels. Seonghwa grabs you by the arm before you lose your footing. Your knight in shining armor. Well, a cardigan really but close enough, right?

“Oh my god, Seonghwa. You can’t sneak up on me like that. You’re gonna give me a heart attack.”

“It’s a library” he laughs, straightening out your shirt, “I thought we were supposed to be quiet.”

“Not that quiet! What are you doing here anyway?”

That came out a bit harsher than you intended. Thankfully Seonghwa finds it cute when you’re sassy. “Yunho told me you work here on weekends and I thought…I wanted to see you.” “See me?” you ask, the book now clutched in your arms like a stuffed animal.

Seonghwa moves between you and the cart, pinning you against one of the shelves. This position feels familiar, a flash of heat rushing over your body and settling between your legs. Seonghwa toys with the hem of your short skirt, his knuckles brushing your exposed thigh.

“Do you like it?”

“Hmm?”

“Working two jobs. Do you like it?”

“Honestly, I hate it.” You draw in a sharp breath when his fingertips touch the marks he left behind on you last night. Sneaking both hands beneath your skirt, he traces your hips, relishing in the fullness of them.

Your thighs part and he carefully eases his knee between them, the moist cotton of your panties all that separates your aching core from his slacks. Seonghwa leans in to nibble at your bottom lip, “Then quit.” “Hwa, you know I can’t, ah…” you squeak, the book tumbling to the ground as he slowly grinds you along his leg.

He kisses you tenderly, angling you forward to stimulate your clit in just the right way. Seonghwa can already feel you soaking through his pants. You get wet so easily for him and it eats away at his self control. “Quit” he repeats, “I can get you a job at one of my father’s offices. His secretaries there don’t really do anything. You can kind of just sit there and be pretty. I know you can do that.”

Letting go of your waist, he pulls back enough to watch how perfectly your tits sit as you ride his thigh. “Look at you, doing so well already.” 

The quiet one. That’s how Yunho described Seonghwa before you met him. He’s quiet but no more innocent than the others are. Never let that innocent exterior fool you, he has a switch and when it flips he’s someone you won’t even recognize.

That switch, you can see it flipping on and off. His eyes bright with admiration one second and darkening with lust the next. There’s something dangerous about him but you aren’t exactly harmless now, are you? 

“You’d do that for me?” you ask, taking his hand and pressing it to your cheek. You nuzzle into his palm, taking his thumb between your lips. “Of course I would. I’d…” he loses his train of thought as you start sucking his thumb, the rhythm of your hips picking up speed.

“Anything you want.”

You can feel his pulse quickening. See his face taking on a pink hue. Your breathing grows shallow, the tension building in your core making your body shudder. “So close” you whine, running his hand down to your neck, “I want you to make me cum.” 

Anything you want. Anything for you. Seonghwa holds you by the neck, his other hand slipping into your panties. “Cum for me then like a good girl. Like my good girl.”

There’s a chance someone could hear you. Between the splashing of his fingers in your juices and the moans that spill out from your lips onto his, there’s more than enough noise to draw a little attention. That’s what makes it hotter. What has his cock straining against his pants and your eyes glossing over as the tension finally snaps.

Ruin you, that’s what he wanted to do, and look at you now, coming undone so wonderfully. How can he be anything short of obsessed with you? 

“So gorgeous when you’re falling apart.”

“Only when I’m falling apart?” you ask, leaning forward to rest your head on his shoulder. Seonghwa wraps an arm around your waist, kissing you on the forehead.

“No,” he sighs, “And I think that might be the death of me.”

Stan playing horsey adventure with his twins 💖

We were going nuts over Cowboy Stan the other day and were making prompts about riding him XD The first draft that I made for this was actually funny cuz it was supposed to be a self insert of riding him on his back and go “ride like the wind, bullseye!” with one hand raised in the air lmao I made their expression so silly I suddenly thought about “oh man, this would look so cute with his twins, like Stan playing horsey adventures with his cowgirl princesses”. When I sketched the twins on his back I just had to junk my first draft cuz THEY LOOK SO FREAKIN CUTE!!!! 💖💖💖 oh my heart 💖💖💖 I aged up the twins a bit here, I guess them being around like 3-4 years old? I’m kinda using my godkid as my reference haha.

I honestly don’t understand the anatomy of this pose XD but I guess it turned out pretty okay? (I was having a bit of hard time drawing the pose) I kinda wish I drew the living room background cuz I bet it’ll look so cute with all the toys scattered around the room XD Now, I know Stan posing like this looks delicious, but let’s stay in fluff for a minute here XD

It actually also made me wonder if what would Stan want his kids to call him? Not really a headcanon, but I kinda like the idea of his kids calling him “Pa” like how he and Ford used to call their dad. (No Stan, you are nothing similar to Filbrick and you will never become like him. You’re gonna be the best fucking dad to your kids). I was having second thoughts cuz I remember in one of Ford’s dialogue telling Stan how he looks like their dad, yea the same man who disowned him and left him wander on the streets, yea him. I don’t want to hurt my pookie, but I just wonder if Stan might have some passing thoughts or worries like becoming like his dad or something in a way (sorry I’m honestly not good in explaining stuffs XD but you get the point XD)

ALSO kinda crazy cuz I’ve been thinking about how everyone has their own GF AU and I kinda wish I had one too, then when I was drawing Stan’s kids I realized like “dudeeee you have your own AU!!!!” like woah shit hell yeaaaa I do have my own XD I feel so pumped I could actually create a character design for his twins, some cute short comics and stuffs wow that would actually be fun haha 💖

[grimmcheems]

Yall this took forever to finish. So glad I actually decided to continue it instead of abandoning it in my drafts🎀🗿 I love this brush so much and have been using it for a while now, I might make more arts like this occasionally bc they take forever.

Other than that, pray for me yall🙏🏽or help me manifest bc things have not been going well for me for a while. I just have not had any luck this past yr. Anyways I love berumin and the handful of us berumin truthers out here (🤭you know who you are🗣️)

😭 berumin yapping below⬇️🗣️‼️⚠️

I think this is my first actual Berumin art, wherein it’s obvious💀 all of the other ones I’ve made of these two are so all over the place and parts of aus I made, but this one is just something I did for fun a yr ago and left the sketch alone(it was so close to being abandoned fr) until I got back to it two weeks ago and decided to pull through. At first I was just gonna do a simple lineart and got carried away and then had to go all out to make everything match and make sense. It rly was a process doing the limbs and having to change a lot of the posing.

Idk what it was but I added those nails to armin on one hand and had to do it for ALL of them, it just rly played into the demon aspect so well I couldn’t resist. This originally didn’t have all the smaller details and I rly just made a lot of it along the way.

I rly liked thinking of this dynamic where Bert is more gentle/pure? And Armin is more deceptive and controlling? Idrk how to describe how I imagined it in my mind when I first made this but that’s the gist of it. Armin at first had a curious expression than the sly one he has here in the old sketches, and there was even a very rough sketch version where he’s an angel instead but I didn’t find it that appealing as a concept and I remember that sketch being so frustrating to get the wings right and I think that’s why I dropped this drawing at first.

Anyways 🗣️🗣️I LOVE BERT and MIN🗣️🗣️🎀🐢🐚

I actually like how ambiguous I left the context of this because there rly is a lot of possibilities this could go story-wise. Like, does Armin appear to Bertolt physically and everyone can see him but he’s only befriending Bert for demonic(?) purposes or is Armin manifested by Bertolt subconsciously. Is Armin a representation of Bert’s corruption? Who knows? I honestly couldn’t tell you but that’s probably why I was happy to make this more detailed than my usual stuff.

Other than that I do like the idea that perhaps Armin was a fallen angel that was casted out and became a demon? Something like that. Maybe Bert became a man of the cloth as a result of shame and guilt over something he did and that mirrors Armin’s fall from grace in how they both have to mask who they used to be???? Maybe none of this is real and this is Bert’s divine punishment in purgatory? What if there was a universe in which Bert wronged Armin in someway and Bert’s psyche takes a hit because of it?

It’s possible this isn’t even Armin but who knows?

Yall maybe I’m cooking with this actually.🤭👀👩🏽‍🦯🗿

What do you perceive this as and what is your take from just this alone? I kinda wanna know how everyone else would interpret them in this👁️👁️😳🥺🙏🏽🎀

Should I do another version of this but with concepts around demonology or something? Idk.

Btw I plan on finishing another berumin drawing I started last yr ,but based on a rly good berumin fic I read, I just haven’t gotten back to it.

Gundham Tanaka dating headcannons

Notes; I'm writing this when I have 6 other drafts of other fics goin' on, let's completely discard that, though. The reader's ultimate is the ultimate artist, and this isn't a killing game type thing, just the island life type deal. This is also like, a headcannon/oneshot kinda deal I think.

Extra notes; This is a friends to lovers deal, slow burn style😘 (also, fem reader, sorry :(

Warnings; Foul language (though I don't think there'll be a lot)

╔⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶✞⊷⊷⊶⊶⊶⊷⊷╗

-Just like he was with everyone else when meeting them, you should expect him to be a little "weird" at first. Regardless of that, you continue to talk to him, you found him interesting, almost like there was some sort of "aura" that pulled you in.

-And when he shows his Devas, you go absolutely feral. Well.. maybe not feral, but definitely a mix of happy, and surprised, exactly how most of the other characters reacted, but either more than that or less, depending on you of course.

~ "Do you have anything that kinda, I don't know, like, 'helps you' in using your ultimate? Books and stuff I guess?" You ask, putting your sketchbook back into your messenger bag.

"Kehehe, that would be useless! Behold! The four dark devas of destruction! Fuahahahaha!" Gundham says as his devas pop out from his scarf.

"Oh my gosh they're hamsters! They're so cute! Do they have names?"

"Cute? How dare you! And hamsters are only their temporary forms! This is Maga-z, San-D, Chum-P, and Jum-P! Keep your distance, for they are dangerous to mere mortals." Gundham says dramatically.

"Well, I guess it's a good thing that I'm not just some "mere mortal" huh? Oh, wait hold on. I think I have something in my bag." You say as you search through your bag. Finally fishing out a pack of sunflower seeds, you place a few in your hand. "There! Do you want these for them? I'll be honest I don't really think I'll end up eating these. You could have them as it'll definitely go to much better use." You motion for him to open his hand, then putting the loose sunflower seeds into his palm.

"T-thank you.."

-After that interaction I feel like you wouldn't leave him alone. Clingy, yes. But to have the opportunity to sketch his "Dark devas of destruction" as he said, you'd do anything.

-Creepily enough, being the ultimate artist, you'd probably try to seek him out due to him always having the devas.

-Yes, yes. It's not exactly a good thing to do, but you were so desperate. But maybe if you just asked him, it might've been a little easier.

-So that's exactly what you did.

~ You took out your e-book and flipped through the different areas, finally finding Gundham's little character pinned at the front of the hotel entrance.

You make your way there and spot him, finding him with his devas in his hands as he looks at them.

"Hey, Gundham." You say softly as to not startle him.

Gundham looks up from his devas to turn his head in your direction.

"Ah, Y/n!" Gundham says, putting the devas on his shoulder.

"Hey, I was wondering, and of course if you don't want to it's fine, but do you think I could sketch your devas? I'll give the drawings to you, I just.. need something else to draw other than the scenery of this place. It's all the exact same, there's no difference in my art no matter what and it's making me go insane!" You clear your throat and apologize for the change in volume.

"You want to draw my Dark Devas of Destruction? Do you think you'll have the power to be in such close proximity with them, mere mortal?" Gundham says dramatically.

"I believe I do, Gundham. And if I don't, then you shall watch me perish."

You had began talking to him in the same eccentric way he does. Thinking maybe he might understand more? Or maybe even go from calling you just a 'mere mortal' to something less.. hurtful?

"Hmm, I see. Very well then. And where do you wish to do this?"

-You just spend most of your free time with him and his Devas sitting in your room together. Maybe you have a little pile of sunflower or pumpkin seeds in a small bowl to keep them from going hungry.

-He's like, looking at you in this absolute awe at you wanting to draw *HIS* dark devas.

-He's a little anxious at what "dark magic" you might be putting on them when sketching them, almost like a voodoo doll.

-Is relieved when you hand the sketches to him and tell him to keep them.

-He probably hangs them up somewhere in his room. Kinda like how a proud parent would with a kids drawing on their fridge.

-You try to gather small picnics or even just hangouts with him, and while it definitely takes a while for him to finally let you, you start drawing him, too.

-It could just be some quick sketches you do while he's telling one of his stories about some great overlord he defeated or another one of his great tales without him knowing, or with him posing knowingly.

-He's just.. so much fun to draw.

-"...the thing was foolish to believe it could defeat me; Gundham Tanaka! Fuahahaha!" Gundham says dramatically.

Gundham and you were sitting in his cottage just hanging out as he told you one of his many entertaining tales.

He sat on his rocking chair, holding Maga-z in his hands as he fed him an assortment of seeds carefully, a soft smile on his face.

When he was telling these stories he was typically so into them that he wouldn't pay any attention to anything else, with the exception of any of the Devas he might have with him too, of course. So it was very easy to draw him without him knowing.

The nice thing about him not knowing was that he looked a lot less anxious, a lot more natural, and didn't have the same serious look that painted his face every time you asked him to pose for you. Right now he looked so happy.

"What are you doing?"

You look up from your sketchpad at Gundham who had now gotten up from his chair, crossing his arms with Maga-z now on his shoulder.

"Aw, you moved.." You say with a pout on your face. "I was drawing you, until you moved. I think I could still finish it, though." You sigh.

"Hmm.."

You could see a pink blush dust his pale, grey complexion. More obvious then he might think.

-You obviously show him all of the drawings you did of him and the devas in your sketchbook.

-He absolutely adores when you do this, it makes him feel special and.. warm..?

-You'll show him some of the other stuff you have in your book, too.

-Some of it is scenery. Maybe flowers or some random stuff you find on the island, but most of it is other people on the island.

-When I say most of it is other people, I mean like, literally only 4 others. Your drawings of Gundham and the devas take up most of it.

-Not gonna lie, he got a little upset when he saw a sketch of Kazuichi working on something on one of the pages.

-I dunno, they like, got a small mutual dislike for eachother. Unnecessary beef.

-He didn't say anything about it, but you could tell he was *very* obviously grumpy the rest of the day.

-Maybe particularly snappy with Kazuichi when he came across him, too?

-He has absolutely no clue why either. Brushes it off as Kazuichi just being an annoying individual.

-He's just a little right about that in general, but that's to be left unsaid. Also, emphasis on "little bit".

-At this point, the both of you are practically with each other constantly. You'll eat lunch together sometimes, walk around the islands together, and obviously just hang out inside of each other's rooms, just enjoying each other's company.

-Maybe if you're lucky or if you try hard enough, you'll get him to hang out with you and others.

-Maybe at one of the beaches, another one of the parties/gatherings, or even the amusement park!

-Though he'll be a big baby about the coaster, no matter how much he says "It's nothing compared to the many brawls I've had", so please hold his hand..

-"Aww yeah! I'm getting pumped up now! C'mon, c'mon, get on faster guys!" Akane says excitedly.

Everyone had gone to the 3rd island to go to the amusement park, and then after we could go to the beach. All Sonia's idea, and of course Kazuichi couldn't say no, then neither could Nagito, then Mahiru, then Himiko, and the rest of it was all just a domino effect. Though, a good amount of it was because of Byakuya being bossy and demanding that everyone else be part of it.

And there everyone was. Nothing else in the park was any good other than the roller coaster, so that was the first thing everyone went to. We'd probably only go on a few rides until a few people began to get sick.

"NO WAY! I'M NOT GOING ON THAT THING, I'M STAYING HERE!" Kazuichi screams.

Man, you'd think for a guy that presents himself as such a "manly" guy, he would at least be good to go on amusement rides.. how.. sad..?

"Quit being a big baby! Get on the damn thing already. It's not like it's going to kill you." You tell Kazuichi.

"Yeah! Your holding everything up, you're a man, by the way, remember? You're supposed to be able to handle these things, you know?"

"NO WAY, MAN!"

You pinch the bridge of your nose and rub your face.

Some shouts and pleas from Kazuichi and laughs from Nekomaru grab your interest and you look up, only to see Kazuichi being picked up and forced onto the ride by Nekomaru.

You laugh to yourself at the scene as other people do the same.

Others had begun to take up some of the carts, Nekomaru standing aside, waiting. Assumingly because of his stature, that he didn't want to block or cause any problems for anyone who would be behind him.

You look up to your right at Gundham, who seemed more pale than usual (which was surprisingly possible), a look of worry or possible fear apparent on his face.

"Hey, are you okay, Gundham?" You ask, placing a hand on his arm.

He flinches slightly at your touch. "Ha! What makes you think I am not?" Gundham replies, his voice shaking ever so slightly.

"I don't know, you look a little pale. Are you scared to go on?"

"I think he's always that pale, Y/n.." Mahiru says.

Gundham pauses for a second.

"Fuahahahaha! I am Gundham Tanaka! To think I fear anything makes you a fool. This mere machine is nothing compared to the many hounds and demons I have fought and defeated."

You look at him and let go of his arm, turning away to walk into one of the carts.

"Alright then, come on in if you're so tough." You pat the seat next to yours.

"Is that a challenge?" Gundham asks, getting on and sitting next to you.

Before you could respond, the ride immediately takes off.

It was definitely faster than any of the other rides you'd ever been on, but hell was it fun.

"Yaaaaaaahoooooo!" Akane shouts in joy.

Screams from Kazuichi made it more then obvious that he wasn't having fun.

"I'm gonna die...I'm gonna diiiiiiiiiiie!"

"Tch...! What overwhelming g-force!"

You smile widely and lift your hands up, making it give that thrill that you feel you'd fly out.

"Be still...my heart!"

You look over to Gundham, his face even more pale then when we were originally first getting onto the ride. He was gripping onto the railings as hard as he could and looked like he was going to pass out.

"But.. this is fun!" Sonia exclaims.

You giggle to yourself and pull your arms down, placing one of them on top of Gundham's hand.

You felt a little bad for laughing, but to see him scared was definitely a rare sight you'd never let go of. You made sure to take a mental picture of it.

The rest of the ride was filled with Kazuichi's screams and pleas to "kill him", shouts of joy from Akane, and some other shouts from others, including yourself.

Gundham remained and kept that same look of fear on his face.

Man, you're really hoping that this thing takes photos. Maybe Mahiru can make copies, or Monomi, maybe that rabbit could prove to be useful.

After the ride was over and came to a stop everyone got out of their carts.

"Hey, hey! Let's go on one more time!" Akane says excitedly.

"I agree! Once more!"

"I vouch for that, too! Let's go again!" You say, agreeing with Akane and Sonia.

"No! No friggin' way!!!" Kazuichi screams.

Teruteru looks around and agrees with Kazuichi, as well as Hajime.

Gundham grips your hand and looks at Hajime. "I..I agree. My Devas tell me it was intense and far from enjoyable.."

"You took the hamsters with you!?" Fuyuhiko says in shock.

"Devas!" Both you and Gundham say in unison, correcting Fuyuhiko.

Everyone looked at eachother and began to whisper, which was quickly interrupted by Sonia.

"Alright then! Shall we go to the beach, now?" Sonia says clasping her hands, a large smile on her face.

-Honest, Gundham doesn't even realise he's holding your hand up until you arrive at your cottage so that you can retrieve and change into your bathing suit.

-Doesn't let go until you're going to change and you have to tell him to let go so you could change.

-Poor guy is so flustered and embarrassed when you tell him.

-You and Gundham walked to the main island so that you can both go to your cottages to get your bathing suits, still hand and hand the whole time.

-You didn't dare let go, it was..enjoyable.

-You arrive at your cottage and retrieve your keys from your pocket. Unlocking and opening your door with one hand was just a bit harder then you'd think. Like trying to turn the door handle without dropping your key directly onto the floor where it could've fallen through the crack of the dock.

Walking into your room you go into your top drawer and grab your bathing suit, which had just conveniently been the drawer where all of your undergarments were held.

Your cheeks quickly flushed in embarrassment.

You walk to your bathroom, hands still interlocked with Gundham. Now this was just a little over the top.

"Uh, Gundham. You're still holding my hand and I gotta change, man.." You say, looking down at your hands and then back up at him with an awkward smile on your face.

"Hmm...?" Gundham makes a hum in confusion before looking down and realizing that he was in fact, holding your hand.

He quickly lets go and profusely apologizes more times than would be necessary, stumbling over his own words and trying to explain he hadn't known, EVERYTHING.

He was clearly flustered, and you felt bad but man did he look cute like that and with such an obvious blush on his pale face.

"Gundham, it's okay, don't worry. I don't mind, I just think it would've been a bit bold for you to walk into the bathroom with me when I needed to change, don't 'cha think?" You joke, trying to calm him down.

It only made it worse.

More apologies, and then he left your cottage in a rush, tripping over the end of your rug on the way out.

He's so awkward sometimes, but that's what makes him all the more interesting to be around or to be friends with in general.

Silly.

-It took him a while to show up at the beach.

-I feel like he'd be embarrassed/flustered for a while and it takes him time to get decently calmed down from it.

-He's real upset when he walks to your cottage to find that you've already left for the beach.

-He's like a sad puppy.

-Tries to walk as quickly as he can to see if he could catch up to you. Couldn't. You'd already made it long before so now he's even more upset.

-I feel that because he sorta isolates himself, once he finds someone he actually enjoys being around he gets like, real clingy.

-I'm totally not making that a headcannon because I do that..

-"Where's Gundham? That guy's constantly attached to you, it's kinda weird not seeing you two together." Kazuichi asks you, taking the volleyball from your hands.

"He was getting changed when I left. I'm pretty sure that he'll be here anytime soon."

You felt pretty bad for just leaving him, and you did wait by his door for a while, you really did! But after 15 minutes of not even hearing any sort of movement in his cottage other than the wheel that was in the Devas' cage making noise.

You talked to Sonia and Mahiru while you waited for him. It was mostly you and Mahiru doing the talking due to your similarities in ultimates, just as you always did.

"You'll have to take some pictures for me so I can draw them! I love drawing scenery with birds and bugs and such, but they don't stay still so it's never how it originally looked. Not as beautiful." You exclaim, presenting an idea to Mahiru.

"That actually sounds like a great idea, Y/n! We should do trades! I can take the picture, you draw it, and we'll trade some of them!" Mahiru seemed just as excited about the idea as you did.

You suddenly hear a gasp of what seemed to be excitment from Sonia from next to you.

"What? Are you alright Sonia?" You place a hand on her shoulder.

"There's your boyfriend, Y/n." Hiyoko says from behind you, snickering.

You look back at her then ahead to see a grumpy looking Gundham.

You now blush at the comment. Realizing what she was implying.

"He's not my boyfriend." You grumble at her.

You take your hand off of Sonia's shoulder and walk to Gundham.

He was in swimming trunks and still wearing his purple scarf. Some of the others found it odd, but where else would he keep the Devas?

"You okay, Gundham? You look upset, did something happen?" You say with a worried look on your face.

Gundham's face softens upon seeing you and he sits down on the sand.

"No, everything is great!" Gundham exclaims.

"Well, if everything is great with you, then I'm great too!" You smile.

-You literally spend 20 minutes just to build a small "castle" (a sorry excuse for one at that)

-Gundham has already made a big ass castle, stong and large enough to allow the Devas to run around on.

-You are BAFFLED because how the fuck did he do that so quick.

-One of his many talents.

-You give up and go back with Sonia.

-He just kinda does his own thing and makes his sandcastles while you go back to playing volleyball. He doesn't mind, he likes seeing you happy, but sometimes he can't help but feel a little jealous.

-Mahiru is definitely the first to know about your "little" crush. She knows before you do somehow. I feel like she could read people really well, especially when she knows them real well.

-Now, if you think any of Mahiru's small teases are embarrassingly bad, wait until Hiyoko gets an idea of it...

-She's relentless regardless, and making fun of someone is real EXTREMELY easy for her. So expect *loud* teases so everyone else around can hear.

-Anyone that hangs around with Gundham, or even just comes across him with the small chance that he's not with you, will 100% RELENTLESSLY tease him.

-"Why aren't you with your girlfriend?", "How's the relationship with Y/n going?", "Have you guys, y'know.. done anything?" <-*cough* that is definitely a Teruteru thing to say.

-I feel like one of them would try and play matchmaker, though miserably failing.

-Now, while some of the people on the island might kinda think Gundham is.. odd.. they'll still try to talk him into saying SOMETHING just so they can get rid of yours and Gundham's whining, though I'd feel Gundham would somehow be better at hiding it?

-Skipping to the *good part*, you're definitely the one to confess.

-This guy thinks he's hot shit but in reality he's TERRIFIED of saying anything about his feelings. In his head he's terrified that you'll never talk to him again. He just doesn't want to lose his one friend that cares so much for him like no one else has.

-If you thought Gundham was blushing like a madman when you two were holding hands, he's blushing even *harder* once you tell him. Same stammering mess, of course.

-You stare at Gundham, far longer than you would like to admit, completely disregarding the drawing you were originally doing of him reading one of his books 10 minutes ago.

Though he had a hardened look on his face, he still had some sort of softness due to him remembering that he was in your presence when no one else would.

He looks away from his book for a moment, just having finished the chapter he was on to glance at you, only to be met with you looking at him as well.

He looks away quickly, telling himself that you were just looking at him to get some sort of reference for your drawing, now suddenly turning red.

He buried his face into his scarf and busied himself with Jum-p, who had just come out onto his shoulder.

You smile to yourself, "Gundham..?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I tell you something? And you can't tell anyone else this either," You adjust your position, placing your sketchbook and pencil onto the floor of his room.

"Of course, Y/n,"

That's one thing you loved most about being this close with Gundham. He only ever talked so softly like that to you, and you only.

"I'm in love with you."

You knew that you'd grown more than fond of him for a while, but you didn't know what the funny feeling he gave you was until just two weeks ago, and after realising, it was all you thought about and it drove you insane to the point where you knew you had to say something.

Gundham's brain short circuited and he stared at you for what felt like ages to you, and it was making you nervous for his response, but his heart was practically beating out of his chest and if you were close enough you swear you could hear it loud and clear.

Of course he didn't mean to do this, but he couldn't believe that someone like you would let alone be his friend, but also fall in love him.

"Please say something," you say nervously.

Gundham could only nod, not too sure if that could be considered a response for something, as he was still unable to talk purely out of shock.

You were unsure if that single nod was a good thing, though the devas made it clear that it was.

They all crawled up your arms to sit on your shoulders and began to give you small "pecks" on your cheek. This only caused Gundham to become more red, which was surprisingly possible.

"I– I too, feel the same way," Gundham says, clearing his throat as if he were playing off his previous shortout.

You smile before walking up to Gundham, the four devas still on your shoulders, and give him a hug.

He tenses for a second, then remembers how fondly you feel of him, and he quickly relaxes, returning to embrace.

"I love you," You whisper.

"I love you too.." he replies, an awkward yet soft tone appearant in the way he says it.

You place a small peck on his cheek.

-It takes the two of you a while to show any PDA, but hand holding is as far as you'll go.

-He's a pretty shy guy. Like I said before, he thinks he's hot shit but in reality he's really terrified to show any PDA or relationship-y stuff like that.

-Honestly, being that, the relationship was more secret and whoever found out, found out purely out of a guess or by someone else saying something.

-Being that most of everyone kind of teased the both of you about the whole "relationship" thing before you guys became a thing, it takes them a while to figure it out that the two of you are together.

-"Pfft, who are you waiting for, your boyfriend," Hiyoko teases.

You were waiting outside of the Rocketpunch Market for Gundham to get some seeds before going to the beach with everyone else, and Hiyoko happened to get some of her gummy bears. She caught you waiting outside for some time and figured that you were waiting for Gundham after she saw him in there.

You stayed quiet and looked down at her for a moment before going back to your sketchpad.

"You're weird. No wonder you two weirdos get along with eachother,"

"Be nice, Hiyoko! Hi, Y/n! How are you today? Are you going down to the beach, too?" Mahiru asks after scolding Hiyoko.

"Hello, Mahiru! I'm doing well, just waiting for Gundham. He's picking up some sunflower seeds. I think I might go down but I was planning on hanging out with him instead," You respond as you wave at her.

Mahiru smiles and gives you a look.

"What?"

"Nothing," Mahiru says, walking away with Hiyoko, "I'll see you later, Y/n! Have fun and tell Gundham I said hi."

-As I said, the two of you just wait it out and if people find out, they find out. No use denying it with how close you'd been before, and how much closer you are now.

-Once Gundham and you get more comfortable than before, and after everybody has already found out (or most), you might get more comfy with slight PDA.

-It's much nicer now that you two are together because either of you have no suppressed feelings.

-I've got nothing else other than he's real sweet. I dunno man.

This shit was so much fun to write, honest. I have no clue how many words this is but it is LONG. Hope you enjoyed😋

Day 3 - Hobbies

Yessss I finally finished it!!!!! This piece was genuienly SO MUCH FUN OH MY GOSH. And I adore how it turned out so much!!!!!!!! Like. 100% this is in my top 5 favorite art I've made, if not #1. There's like nothing I would change about this. It just looks amazing as it is. I also made a micro comic to go with this as well! Here's the link. Yapping and old versions of this piece below the cut!

So I have a lot of headcannons about Bonnie and Freddy, but also something we should keep in mind is that since Bonnie's lowkey dead, basically everything about Bonnie's personality is kinda a headcannon... But I DIGRESS. The headcannon relevant to this post is that Bonnie and Freddy would totally play each others' games all the time, since their attractions are literally connected to each other (if that isn't love I don't know what is). And they're both really bad at the others' game 😭😭 (Like Bonnie is bad at Fazerblast and Freddy is bad at bowling, despite how much time they spend playing with each other). BUT HERE'S THE FUNNY PART. In my brain, Freddy would go easy on Bonnie so he could have a chance to win, so cutsie. But Bonnie would not. 💀 Like bro would go out 100% every time and just whoop Freddy, no mercy. 🤣🤣 Tell me it's not true 😂🤣

So the two versions above are the initial sketch idea in my sketchbook and one of the rougher drafts with slightly different coloring choices. I ended up making Freddy's shirt more blue/indigo because the green blended in too much with Bonnie's hand but also really contrasted Freddy's orange color. The final color I chose was much better 🥰✨️ Sometimes you just gotta play around with different options until you find something you like.

These final two versions are full flat colors and full flat colors with the lineart colors improved. In the final version we got some lovely shading and of course the Bowling Night signature at the bottom. And I also added some aging stains! Because I do NOT think the picture was taken care of after it was confiscated from Freddy.

Here's the lore behind the little comic as well! So the idea is that when Bonnie goes missing, they have to take down all his stuff so kids stop asking questions. Which includes any memoribilia or trinkets in their Green Rooms. Notice how Bonnie's room behind the stage was filled with Freddy stuff? You can't convince me that Freddy didn't have the exact same thing. But of course, when Bonnie's gone, they can't leave any hints of his existance (???). And so all of Freddy's things have to go... :((( They confiscate all of it and just dump it in a storage room somewhere, to just rot.

It's super sad to be honest... :( But don't be sad, look how cute they are!! So happy! No one's dead!!! :DD

[toffeebrews]

Ink sans headcanons!

Disclaimer: I don't claim anything to be canon. Although, I tried to make sure it didn't conflict with canon for the most part. Erm, I also didn't check the tag before I made this, so of any these are canon/popular hcs i didn't know before making this.

Ink has something similar to a bag of holding tied to his belt. He picks up little trinkets in the aus he visits (something small, of course, like a flower!) It can hold an endless amount of objects. It also stands as as way of reminding him of where hes been and who he's met! he puts any gifts he gets there as well.

He has this weird ability that if you point at something he knows the exact hex code and color name it is. Why? Not even he knows, but it may be a creator giving him knowledge somehow thing.

For his paints? They all taste a little different. They taste like, something? But the exact flavor is so vague it's "hard for him to describe". If anything, they taste like a whole bunch of flavors at once. A little overwhelming to the palate. They all differ in sensation as well, fizzy, smooth, milky etc.

(more yapping under the cut)

Consistency wise, they both smell and have the thickness of acrylic paint. Specifically that kinda watery acrylic paint you can get for cheap at a store (like apple barrel).

Each of his vials has three dosages. One vial is like daily usage. But they can sometimes run out unevenly depending on how bad/good that day is (ex: on an extremely bad day, he has to take more of a positive emotions) so he had extra markings to "top off". Given there's no consistent time frame hes in, he just takes them whenever he wakes up. [ note: this particular headcanon was partially inspired by @/the-local-eldritch-microwave headcanon lol ↓]

He can actually last maybe about few days without his vials, but his emotions just become duller after 24-48 hrs. Taking a sharp decline after about 72 hrs. Their mobility and mental health declines with it as well, so he'd rather not wait for the decline to start! haha unless he got stuck in some situation where he had no choice!!! :D haha

He tried chugging all his vials at once for experimentation! He vomited everywhere. He'll not be attempting that again. Too much at once...

He has a reallllyyyy long scarf so he has enough room for all of his notes. It drags behind him and also dramatically blows behind him when there's a draft. It tracks stuff in it, due to its length. The bottom of his scarf is all colorful because of all the crap hes tracked in it! LOL

If he ever needed it, he'd add more fabric to the end for more notes. I guess eventually it would get cartoonishy long. At least, until it became completely impossible to manage.

On that topic, hes actually quite messy. Although, its more in a "organized chaos" sorta way. He knows where everything is, even if you don't. hes also MESSY not dirty very clear distinction!

In my mind the reason Ink would have a gap tooth in my version is when he was a "sketch" his teeth were more uh implied? So when he's born (how the hell would you word that? conceived? idk) he now has a permanent gap tooth.

[piracytheorist]

So anyway I got a digital version of The Official Anime Guide, and it's got some really nice artwork!

I especially like this one. They all look so happy!

I am particularly weak for the one on the left. It looks like they both got flowers for Yor and it's just so sweet 🥺🥺

And I like their poses in the one on the right. And some variety in expressions!

And among the character designs, showing them in different attire and from different angles, my whump-loving ass really appreciated that they had a section about Loid's bloody face from the second episode 😌😌

They know their audience 👀

I also really like how they've worked in the difference between "Twilight eyes" and "Loid eyes" in his expressions.

One day I'll make that post analyzing the times we see him with "Twilight eyes" vs with "Loid eyes" vs the few times we see his more relaxed, real expression. One day.

Near the end there were also some storyboards from a few scenes in the first cour of the first season, and also some from the first OP and ED. And this one caught my attention:

He has a quiet, reserved expression in the final product, but in the storyboard he kinda looks... sad? Like maybe it's because it's just a quick draft sketch, but that brow going upwards in the inner corner looks quite worried. Again, maybe that wasn't intentional, but I thought I could point it out, lol.

Anyway, it's got some cool designs in it, interviews with the main cast and even with Endo himself, and learning that he was left an emotional wreck after he wrote the arc that I'm waiting patiently to learn all about when the next season starts... made me realize even more that I am not emotionally prepared for it either. (Again, anime only here, so even though I've gotten some spoilers, don't spoil me further) Interesting stuff overall!

[saewokhrisz]

have u ever talked anywhere about your coloring or composition processes? u are honestly one of my favorite artists and i would love to hear any insight on how you make pieces 💓

wahh thank you TTT !!! I did sorta give a very simplistic answer here but it was more of my simpler sketchy style so lemme redo that, ill try to be consise and make this understandable ?? its a bit hard cuz it honest to god depends on what Kind of piece im even drawing, cuz for some i go the whole length of doing lineart flats and all that, others i just just fuck around untill it looks right?

i do usually start with a rough sketch or colour draft, especially with more compley pieces this helps with figuring out the feel, honestly i should spend more time drafting properly, figuring out poses and such but im so lazy i just go w the first thing that looks good

then just lines over the colour draft, fixing lots of anatomy and proportion stuff, and depending on how i wanna do the colours ill either keep the colour layers or merge them together and have the edited colours as the base colour (this might not even make sense help)

see this piece at the time gave me an insane ammount of trouble with lighting and colours, so after trying to render i ended up merging everything together....which i dont USUALLY do but the rendering is pretty similar except usually i have colours be seperated by layer,

ANYWAYS sadly i dont have a process on how it got from flats to this specific render for this piece...but i still followed my initial drafts/plans with vibe and colours and just painted over it, its why i make it after all!

but honestly a lot of times its just very simple colours and just trying to mainting good contrast and values !!!! and THEN fucking around with colours and rextures, for other pieces i kinda just paint as i go? i have this timelapse of my justice piece that may be a bit more help!

it includes the initial colour draft, the cleanup/lining process, flats, rendering, and all that so its probs the most accurate timelapse of my morecomplex work processes, with stuff that doesnt include heavier backgrounds, which is a whole OTHER topic honestly

im sorry if i cant explain it more cohesively, i genuinely barely know what im doing most times and go by muscle memory and stuff i Know but cant. Explain? like i know how light and folds work since i observed and studied them but i cannot put it into words at all )--)0

my brushes also contribute a lot to how i render and colour, depending on what i use, you can find the swatches for them here !

[alyona11]

lol sketched some ideas for I Can’t Help But Wonder for Epic just as I listen. I’m kinda testing which way works the best for me when it comes to completing animatics/storyboards. It feels like when I start in digital I’m too pressured to keep stuff more detailed and tidy than it needs to be so it kinda makes storyboarding the ideas from my head more time consuming? So I tried to do a quick draft this time with a pen and nothing else. Transferring the scene from my brain to the frames (aka picturing the scene) is kinda the hardest and most exhausting part for me so I wonder if it will overall improve my speed (which is a secondary thing) and the success rate for completing the project
