#it's definitely a work in progress

❛❛ I brought blankets, takeout, and your favorite movie. I know it won’t fix everything, but it might help. ❜ (To Pepper, from Tony) //tbh he probably also gave her a raise, she deserves it.

Knock Knock.

Pepper sighed and lowered the towel from her hair and set it onto the bathroom counter. She didn't have to ask who it was knocking on the door because there was only one person that would. So, after a quick glance in the foggy bathroom mirror, Pepper headed for the door with her almost completely dry red hair, having gotten home not too long ago and showered after the long day.

A day she thought would become relaxing once she came home for the day, but when one is in a relationship with the Tony Stark, relaxation didn't always come so easily.

As soon as the door opened, Tony was the first to speak. In his arms were the blankets, the food and yes, her favorite movie. Or one of them, anyway. His memory about what she liked and disliked had certainly improved over the course of their relationship and he liked to make that known by pointing out the lack of strawberries anytime he brought her a gift or something edible. It never failed to make her grin and it was always hard to stay mad at him when he did things like this.

"You... brought blankets," she repeated, lips pursed. "to our bedroom." Did she really need to explain further? "Really, Tony?" She tried so hard to hold back the smile, but she couldn't. For a genius, he really was an idiot sometimes, though she knew he did it intentionally at times. And again, it was hard to stay mad at him because of it. His efforts to earn her forgiveness were quite amusing and endearing, although sometimes he went overboard or made things worse. Not this time, at least.

"It certainly won't fix the kitchen, no." She agreed, shaking her head. "But I'm sure you will. Tomorrow." It wasn't up for discussion. The suit or drone or droid, whatever he considered them now, that he was trying to program to cook ended up damaging the kitchen and that wasn't something Pepper wanted to walk into upon arriving home after a tiring day. Finally, she stepped aside with a sigh, inviting him in. "Come on."

If you hear Republicans speak to other Republicans, you'll hear a lot of them say that they really don't like Trump for whatever reason (many of them aren't fans of the felony convictions, his personal manner, his business dealings, his family life, or whatever else) but that they'll still be voting for him because he'll get them closer to what they ultimately want. They're pragmatic; they don't demand purity in their candidate. They recognise him as their strategic choice so they'll set aside the issues they have with him and vote as a bloc. That's what makes them effective at getting their way. That's how they win elections.

And boy I wish we had more of that attitude on the left. Imagine what we could get done.

Anti-spectra!Jazz

so, we have Ghost!Jazz for whatever reason, i personally like it to happen a few years after Danny's Accident.

so Jazz is a ghost now, and her Obsession is predictably Psychology but unlike Spectra, Jazz gets pover from her clients actually making progress!

i also think it would be hilarious if Jazz's human disguise is more convincing that Danny's human form since his ghost side started bleeding into it more and he gives off uncanny vibes. Jazz does too but not more than anybody from amity park.

and she decides to move to Gotham because of course she wants to work in Arkham she can fulfill her Obsession and actually help people a lot there!

Sunday doodles, design is ER!ralsei from @lynxgriffin 's Eldritchrune AU (hope the tag is okay!)

A fun photo session and a little character backstory inspired by a hidden piece of gay history: beefcake magazines. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, these simple photo-heavy men's "health" magazines showcased the figures and routines of muscle boys and body builders. But what the public didn't exactly catch was that the magazines were mostly made by and for gay and bisexual men in an age where queer content had to find ways around censorship and laws targeting LGBTQ+ people. Many of the images featured were as saucy as they could get away with! And while I'm no strongman, it was fun to try out the concept!

SW Hades AU January Update

Woohoo, look at that we have a header for the monthly updates now!

Some links and previous updates: May - June - July - August - September - October/November - December - everything else in this AU

I finally got around to not only finish Quinlan's character illustration, but also add a background, glow effect and text box to him.

I've got to say, I am very very proud and more than a little surprised at how well he turned out! Green is my nemesis of a color (that's partly why I decided to tackle Quinlan and Kit in one go - bite the bullet in one go and all that) but funnily enough all his greens are rather desaturated dark yellows (including his skin tone). Gosh, initially I'd picked those colours off of Ares, and up until I added the warmer red to the edges of the shadows on his skin I was very very terrified that I'd made a huge mistake here. (It's part of my art process, spending a significant amount of it being terrified that I messed up my colours beyond saving TT^TT) But he turned out amazing and super shiny!

Adding those snakebite piercings was also such a big brained idea (can you tell that I'm really really happy with him? XD) and this illustration is defnitely up there among my top faves with Shaak Ti.

Kit in comparison was a lot more straightforward (hah).

The foreshortening and positioning of his arms was... well. Not Fun, let's just stick with that, but I'm very good at dying on very small hills, and I'd got it in my head that I'm gonna push this pose A Bit. In the end it wasn't as much as I'd hoped for, but I did try for some exaggeration in the posing and anatomy as well. (Have you seen Ares's hands and forearms and Dionysos's thighs??)

Further SHOUTOUT and a million thanks to @hastalavistabyebye for their enthusiastic tags under all my Hades posts, and for being the genius mind behind these additional trinkets for this AU:

Fizzroot Shake for Nectar (we gotta be safe with teenagers around), and Tiingilar for Ambrosia ❤️❤️

Additional extra ramblings below the cut to save space on your dashboards:

Let's move from the trinkets back towards Kit and Quinlan last, yeah?

Fizzroot Shake and Tiingilar

It isn't as obvious with the big character illustrations as with the smaller images, but I really do have some trouble with keeping things - colours and shapes - simple. It's more obvious on small things that really cannot pack or fit in all those details, so I had to do a lot of repainting (like with the fizz fuzz foam of the shake, or the bowl of the tiingilar), and truth be told I'm still not happy. Might be that the drawing is still too detailed - but in my defense this was a wind-down project for me these past few weeks.

I have collected a few references for shapes and materials and colours from both Hades and Hades2 as you can see on the margins. I am still obsessed with the glow of Hestia's keepsake, it just glows, I love it! If I were to change a few things on these I think it would be to add some more orange/yellow to the Fizzroot Shake to offset the purple a little more (like how the purple bow balances out the very bright yellow/orange of the nectar/ambrosia), and work more black into the bowl of the tiingilar. I was thinking about adding more of that blue to it, but I wonder if even at this level there is too much of it...

Anyway, I will surely be forced to learn a lot more of this when I sit down to finish all my keepsake versions. Some of those are certainly still too detailed in their current design D:

Kit and Quinlan

I took a lot of inspiration for both Kit and Quinlan's clothing from concept art and character models from TCW. Especially for the pistols and the holsters for Quinlan's black getup that he would have worn if the Dark Acolyte storyline made it into the show, I believe.

I was also very very tempted to draw Kit wearing a really high cut swimming suit without the shorts/leggings. The ones that are cut so high they display the entirety of the hips and most of the ass as well probably? But I chickened out in the end, and stuck with a semi-see-through layer on his thighs too smh

I also try to be more intentional with my shapes in these designs. I'm not sure how I'm doing with that, but I tried for a lot of triangles with Kit. And lots of greens and orange, of course. To prove that I'm learning from those Hades style breakdown videos that I'd watched last year. So I made some notes on dominant shapes with the both of them (it was mostly triangles, and Kit also got a rectangle note as well), and to pick one bright, highlight colour while I keep the others desaturated to support that colour.

I think I did better on that front with Quinlan than with Kit. The yellow and gold of all his markings and jewelry pop real nice (and even the little "jewel" highlights of green and torqois worked so well in support of each other! I was really surprised, I generally hate adding them at the end...) and with his dark clothes, skin and hair they really support that metallic brightness even with the warmer tones worked in at the edges of shadows.

Kit on the other hand, I feel he turned out too bright and warm green, and so the orange in his vambraces and clothes don't pop that much. It lacks a bit of balance maybe. There was a time when he seemed to be too dark and desaturated a green, and that was likely the step when I got too scared to trust the process and turned up my saturation a bit too much. So I tried to work a bit of light yellow into him with that bottom lighting, and it did what it could but... oh well. I still quite like it, don't misunderstand me!

I know I sound a bit nitpicky here, but in truth I'm trying to work out what I could learn from these pieces that I might use in the next one! I'm trying to be more intentional with my work, but it doesn't come very easy to me, so working through these things in these posts do help a little. And who knows, maybe it will help someone else too :)

WIP anon here! Post the last segment you wrote without context and pass this on to as many blogs as you wish! 💫

"Be my girlfriend."

The glass held between your fingers slips and makes a loud bang as it hits the sink. The water from the tap pours over it, unaware of the incredibly unusual change in the universe that had just occurred.

You tilt your head up, ignoring the lost glass, and raise your eyebrows high. "Come again?"

Steve huffs a little, as though you're the one being rather dramatic, and leans further forward across the island. His hands are planted firmly, his hazel eyes wide as he all but pouts at you. You're still grappling with where the hell that question came from.

"Be my girlfriend. Please." He says. "For just one dinner, I promise. I swear I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't actually desperate."

You blink, clearly having missed a beat somewhere.

Frowning, you finally shut off the tap and rescue your abandoned glass from the bottom of the sink. Picking it up, you give it a quick once over for any chips. Scot-free, luckily.

"Okay, back up." You say, giving a small shake to clear your head, lifting your gaze. "First of all, Harrington, ouch."
