@lizaisdrawing I just really love your style, and your ideas for welcome home. Like, absolutely obsessed.

you are so amazing, and I’m inspired by your stuff! 💜✨

#welcome home art #Human sketchy #Sorry it’s kinda self centered #I just struggled to try and make this all day #I was originally gonna make doodles with the other neighbors #And I might still #Just not all in one go lol #YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE ATTENTION #your shading and style is simply eye candy #welcome home au #Sketchy Sketcharoo #Lizaisdrawing

to be, or not to be (romanticization of the inevitable)

#ray's tag #keys' art #undescribed #skeletons #ok to reblog #the skeleton model that i traced for this was provided by the incredible kiku @kikunai whom you can find right here on tumblr!#so uh. This is a piece about chronic fatigue although the original idea i had for it drifted a bit as soon as I started coloring the linear #(i really enjoy shading and lighting things and got a bit carried away here but i stand by my choice because this is my favorite thing #that i've ever drawn)#anyways. i often feel especially lately with school being back in season that my bones are leaden with this sort of. weariness. theyre heav #it weighs on our mental health and energy a lot and although there's a couple of reasons we have been given for it #that doesn't remove the fact that this is still a thing that affects us in a very real way day to day although we are good at masking it.#often i come home to find that i do not have the physical mental or creative energy to work on things i really want to #especially project: nexus which i feel extra bad about even though i can't help it because i just started it so recently #it is a mild to moderate struggle to make it day to day and i just. wanted to represent this somehow #my original concept for this was a skeleton with some black goop gunk whatever leaking from its joints #but as i started adding the cracks and coloring them gold (a personal touch; kintsugi is a concept that is very dear to us)#i realized that the focus here was less on the condition itself and more on the body that it afflicts.#so i put it into a spotlight.#ironic i know since very little people acknowledge this irl or even know it exists at all but i added rim lighting. I added color gradients #I colored the lineart and made it all fancy and even added a flare for the head to get the point across that even at its core; disability i #a performance. this is not implying that disabilities are fake in fact this is the opposite of that. i wanted to show that with disabilitie #especially i think in my personal opinion the invisible ones #we are all masking at least a little bit during the vast majority of the day. humans are social creatures and it is only when we are alone #or with someone we deeply trust where we allow ourselves to be who we truly are without fear and even then that can be rare #so i wanted to show this bit of the soul in as broad a limelight as i could. idk this is a really abstract piece and i dont know if anyone #will even get it but it matters to me at least. and even though we've been largely bedridden for the past week i think that's okay #we will get it figured out. all of us. okay? okay. i love you. i fucking love you. we are going to fucking make it #(also the xes over the eyes are because i thought they looked cool they have no deeper meaning at least i think they dont #actually i think they do but i cant put it into words idk. Art is subjective assign your own meaning i'm gonna go get a shower)

heres a piece for my recent fanfic "What happened to you in space?"

#incredibox #incredibox fanart #evadare #rafe #hes fucking Slumped #man witnessed the horrors and passed out because of it #this took me a LOT longer than it shouldve #cause i was struggling with the perspective on rafe ;-;#got pissed and gave up and did an entire different perspective(its colored and shaded partially too)#and then finished this one #normally this wouldve taken me 4-5 hours over the span of 2 days #it took MUCH LONGER QAQ #im still proud of it tho!!!#sparks creations

Mutual left this tag on one of my Fuuta analyses and yeah...

Part two of "Fuuta’s central theme is invasion of privacy and he has extreme anxiety over being watched, so it's interesting that we get to pick him apart and see all his worst, most private thoughts" :(

#milgram #fuuta kajiyama #i didnt want to be annoying with a tag but thank you trinipopkt for the original tag :3 #ive never posted something like this so let me know if i need to tag anything #my writing brain may be struggling rn but you can bet im still over here drawing fuuta 😅👍#part one was the lil moodboard on main #this also had slight oc connections (my brain was going brrr having a scientist oc) but once again its general to the audience overall #plus i was really proud of the composition/posing/colors i switched to -- i was excited to share!!#it took me like 80 years to pick a composition/pose that worked asdfsadsg #and i had to redo all my coloring and shading because i wanted a more neutral sterile science look than what i originally had #anyway it wasnt my usual type of drawing so it was a lot of fun to see it come together!#i did the first version and my partner said it was mean (and against procedure) to keep him awake #but then the second version felt equally mean :(((( so in conclusion rip fuuta #he is my little bug and i am going to figure out what makes him tick

I've been thinking a lot about art and why it doesn't feel good anymore, and a lot of what I keep coming back to is a) simply not being happy with my style, but b) not feeling comfortable experimenting because I feel like I need things to be """post worthy""" 🙄 so like... it's kind of a vicious cycle lmao so I'm heeding the advice I used to give people trying to overcome perfectionism which was "don't worry about making things that are 'good enough' to post and just post everything."

So... some vague style experimenting 🤷‍♂️ and also a sketch of Ilya from forever ago that I really liked but kept thinking I would come back and do more with.

#ghost city #maksim girard #ilya kasharin #I forgot Maksim's tattoos AND his little neck ridges in the headshots but oh welllllll #artbyrom #me: my struggles with art are deeply rooted and totally unique to me and I could never hope to explain them to anyone else #-describes two of the most common struggles for artists on social media ever-#I'm still happy with my general approach to lineart and the flat colors with minimal accent shading #and I even really like the thing I've done a couple times now of selectively coloring the lineart #so the issue I'm having is with like... the fundamental base of the art 😬#so many of the artists I really admire have very minimalist highly stylized ways of drawing people and I want so badly to pursue that #I never really wanted my art to have this more semi-realistic look to it :| but I'm like...#I don't feel confident in my ability to portray a specific face unless I detail it to hell and back #I need to find a way to get comfortable with forms that are more... representational #fuck.... y'know a lot of it might come down to how outspoken my ex was about how much he disliked simplistic and representational styles #lol. lmao.

I'm still working through a busy period and some motivation issues. In the meantime, here's a moth Etho I drew a couple years ago. (inspired by his old Optifine cape that looked like his own face)

#wingmits #etho #bug wings #moth wings #god I drew legs tiny #I still struggle with leg proportions but geez #I am at least happy with how I did his face #which is rare for me #maybe it's partly because I didn't have to figure out a mouth lol #also what in the world is that shading. what was I doing. anyway

Revenge's consequence

Based off Granblue Fantasy Jamil SSR fate episode! I still love that fate episode very much 🥲

This took an extremely long time compared to my other pieces 🙈 I initially painted this maybe half a year ago in hopes of making it extra fancy? But it was so hefty I lost momentum... Progress shots below!

#my art #artists on tumblr #illust #illustration #jamil #granblue fantasy #granblue #gbf #グランブルーファンタジー #ジャミル #djeeta #ジータ #also i still love how his SSR came out literally one month after I posted a piece of him wishing for his ssr #on my birthday month no less!#this piece was also a struggle start to finish omg hot damn I took so long deciding and ironing out the pose #and the rendering? oh god I rarely get dissatisfied or really struggle with my artworks but this one 🙈#i really couldn't decide how the shading would go... and probably because it's a night palette I was dissatisfied with the contrast and how #many of my colours teetered to pure black which feels like an absolute no-no #anyway that's why I took half a year rendering this behemoth #i feel it doesn't even look particularly extravagant given the time it took but I do like how it turned out and I appreciate the effort #past me took rendering this half a year ago #bg didnt take much time at all but it's probably because I became more lax
