there's a part in Dune where it talks about how quickly Paul Atreides learned and how intelligent he was etc, and it goes something like "he simply trusted that he could learn. it was shocking to him how many people believe themselves incapable of learning, or believed learning itself to be difficult" and boy, am i glad i read that as young as i did. it really helped me not become a helpless baby like some people i see posting out here in front of god and everybody

Text in picture one "Why don't you love me grandma"

Green text in picture two "every little thing"

should have put those on black bubbles and didn't but they are finished. Also uh. probably going to change how he looks for obvious reasons of same face-ness but anyway.

First image is pretty much just straight up fan art of a fan fiction I found, with the Eye making Jon the archive early but also mentoring him and very much pushing him to prey on people, which I haven't seen before and I adore?? Like the idea of Jon being raised to be a proper avatar that has no qualms with hunting people is very fun. (it's right here if you'd like to read.)

The second is just my imagination running away with how he might end up. I'm picturing him not running into Elias, the eye helping him terrorize foster parents until he gets a family that gives him an allowance and doesn't hurt him but is just neglectful enough that they can hunt down people with statements on weekends. Him ending up with truly no friends at all but the eye cause he just, stopped really caring about people at some point, but he's good at faking enough to ask his questions. He's kind of like an eye themed Simon Fairchild. Happy with himself but not truly friendly, just a smiling shark. (I like to think he does have some positive interactions with a couple other fear avatars. Fears that get worse if you feel seen but not helped leaving him with the occasional witness to feed on.)

This is the most devastating thing they could've pulled here. These aren't flashbacks. Maria was killed before she ever got to see the earth that she loved so much from afar. They never got to explore the world together the way they always wanted to.

These are fantasies. Dreams that never got fulfilled. Glimpses of everything that could've been but never was. Shadow isn't reminiscing on his past-- he's getting lost in flashes of that happy, content future him and Maria never got to have. What if I just cried.

i hope to showcase more of my ocs in 2024 hehe! im FINALLY getting around to finishing art i left to rot in my folders (the pandora hearts drawing last month being one of em). if you saw the WIP of THIS particular drawing 2 yrs ago... no you didn’t 💔

my charas are very personal to me, but tbh ive always been a bit hesitant to share their stories. over time i realized ... it’s kind of a shame to not make art from one’s heart. which is something i regret a lot year after year whenever i make my yearly art summary reflection. i'm like damn i need to make more emotionally evoking pieces!!! so i'm gonna keep going in 2024 with that in mind ❤ i have to admit, although this drawing started 2 years ago, and there's a lot i would do differently if i were to supposedly draw it now - this concept goes pretty hard.

the final drawing stayed pretty close to the original concept which im so relieved for! i think part of the reason why i left it on the backburner for so long, was the fact that i included so many details, and i was unsure of how to colour the "background". (not to mention stuff like cons & real life getting in the way).

i'm glad for discovering a really handy watercolour brush, it's helped me a lot in my last few drawings, bc i dont have to colour in each detail. especially since the witch hat atelier: eternal ephemera zine piece i did. otherwise if i coloured this back in 2022 with my usual method, i'm pretty sure i really would have included a shading and highlight layer for each individual toy... HAHAHA. much to think about

oh yeah and in the last few days of drawing this i was listening to some visual kei bands. i love how some of the band members literally have been performing since like the 90s or something and DO NOT AGE and are literal vampires. every so often i fall back into visual kei (you can tangentially thank aggretsuko although yes i know it's not the same). and i kind of realized. i like Jack's edgy design so much because he looks like. a visual kei esque vampire.

No but I genuinely think the Wanderer is so hostile in the Imaginwhatsit theatre because it's, like, every triggering thing possible for him short of being strapped to a gurney in a lab aldjf

A strange domain only accessible by those invited, created by morally ambiguous, insanely powerful mommies. A toy that seems to have been created on a whim, not confidently knowing its name, animated, given a vague purpose, then left to sleep alone. Not being able to tell the difference between dreams and reality.

Like damn no wonder he's pissy. I would be too

How do u get your faces/expressions to look like that TEACH MEEEE

with my faces? honestly the best advice i can give is like. whenever i notice a face looks off, it usually has to do with the eyes. they're either too large, or too high up on the face (its very common), or spaced out too much. tbh the second i switched from glittery anime eyes to a more simple style of them i improved EXPONENTIALLY lmao especially when it comes to my expressions

^^^ simplistic eyes also means you can get a little more liberal with the shape, which helps when you're trying to do more dynamic expressions imo. just depends on the style youre going for really. never be afraid to go "off model"

uhhh im not as capable of articulating my process with art as i am with writing because im less confident in it lmao but i'll try and get my thoughts down ... tbh a lot of it is just. little lines for me. the rebecca sugar method i suppose. the line under the eye to represent stress/exhaustion honestly carries my expressions ... that and doing it with the mouth especially, when im trying to represent strain. pushing the nasolabial folds/making them visible especially helps. chin creases when crying too, a little concave line under the mouth if their lip is supposed to be wobbling, you know.

also specifically when it comes to Teetlez i really like that they dont actually have any irises, which is usually why i dont draw them with very traditional eyes because it means i can make them emote like cats. people's pupils already do constrict when they're stressed/alarmed and dilate when they're relaxed but its very easy to push here especially (actually one of the biggest reasons i draw wwww!leo exclusively with cat-eye slits is because i want to imply he's Always stressed lmao). also i dont mind exaggerating the shape of them/making them look more unconventional if im trying to get something across, like the way i make cc!donnie's pupils get all big and wavering and watery when he's sad. i think its cute

^^^ best examples tbh

also eyebrow creases with furrowed brows. they always help. is any of this helpful i dont know its like midnight im gonna crash in. 2 Second
