Took a shot at that style thing mmmm
#rain world#rw spoilers#five pebbles#rw survivor#i think i'd need to define the details/shading/textures on the cutscene ones more to fit the style better#at least the pebbles one lol. I did that one first#but it's alright for now#i need to explore my main art program's capacity for brushes and textures more#(it's paint tool sai 2)#it's all a bunch of settings instead of nice brushes you can just import#and is overall just... more limited imo#i wish it was like more like csp or photoshop in that respect#i have to port files over to those to do more heavy-duty backgrounds#or use filters more advanced than gaussian blur. -_-#oh yeah also. i was basing “cutscene” off of vanilla style#and since pebbles only has like one distant picture there#i reffed off moon more for him#i could nitpick at this for hours tbh#art#flickerdoodles

I guess I'm done with mermay for this year huh.
Anyway, I recently watched some playthroughs of Hades 2 (and 1) and I really loved the character illustrations they had, so I wanted to try and sort of take inspiration from the style, and see what I can learn from it.
I decided to draw Helias for this experiment, as he needed a design upgrade anyway. I have few other characters on the drawing list too that I'd like to utilize for this.
(I'm imagining Helias is speaking to the kids of my story's main fam, Hitomi and Ichirou, in that bottom fake screenshot. Shaell is their 'Deity/King' as their family are Soul Eaters, although only Helias refers to him by his first name, he's mainly known as Amaros)
I left the BG for the last one simple as I currently had no proper ideas for it.
(ALSO. I can't believe it took me almost 10 years to realize that Helias' name came from a greek myth. I LEGIT forgot about Helios being a thing, I did not give my boy a similar name on purpose I swear)
#artists on tumblr#character illustration#illustration#digital art#hades game#hades inspired#lumi's chaotic creations#lumi’s art scribbles#night city parlor#Helias#my oc#art#fake screenshot#original art#original character#hades supergiant#my current style uses more of a mix of soft and cell shading#and I don't make linearts quite like this#also the eyes here are smaller than how I'd usually draw them#so while this style has similarities with my own I still feel like I've learned some new things already#Ether lore

So, Red is a colour🩸❤️...
So, I was inspired by FNAF 4's title screen to make this! It might be a bit heavy on the eyes👁👁 from all the red, but I think it turned out good! :D
#my art <3#oh boy. this one was something...#never thought i'd be using red so much and in different shades too X_X#i think i might do something like this again for fnaf 4's anniversary in july#also i think i have fnaf 4's title theme on loop in my head#since that is the only thing i've been listening to for the last 6 and a half hours X_X ~help#fnaf#fnaf 4#fnaf 4 fanart#fnaf evan#fnaf cc#evan afton#cc afton#the crying child#fnaf crying child#fnaf fanart#red#lots of red

Zag and Hypnos roll up to H.alloween on hoverboards wearing this.
#do they do anything? no. absolutely not.#they're there to people watch#I'd like to think they just used to dress up as shades when they were younger despite hypnos being so so so so SO much older than zag#and the tradition just kinda. stuck and evolved as time went on#the ironic bedsheet ghost never gets old#| mun. |

So I'm sure that we're all familiar with the "Born Sexy Yesterday" trope, yes? Where there's a woman who's alien, a robot, suffering from amnesia, etc etc and it basically renders her useless in terms of understanding herself or the world around her. And it's up to the protag, the one we're supposed to see ourselves in, to help her figure things out. Thing is though is that the protag is usually just some totally average guy, and would probably even be considered a loser by "average person" standards. But since he's the first person that the BSY girl meets he seems like the coolest, smartest, most amazing guy ever
...I just realized that in Disco Elysium, you are the Born Sexy Yesterday woman. And Kim is the average guy.
#vu's posts#disco elysium#kimposting#listen i know i'm onto something here#because otherwise there's no way that we'd all be obsessing over (and in some cases thirsting over) kim#who by all accounts is just some guy#like he's 40 something he gets no bitches he gets made fun of by kids he's a stick in the mud#hell he's not even conventionally attractive. i'd go so far as to say that he's the opposite#and yet since disco places us in the shoes as harry#who's essentially a male Born Sexy Yesterday type#everyone in the fandom sees kim as the coolest funniest smartest and most amazing mf in the game#(btw this is no shade to kim. i myself am 'everyone in the fandom'. i KNOW that i'm not immune to this)

Valle Verde
A fake PS1 Game
Has better UI than just about anything in the past 2 decades.
#Looking at you#resident evil 2 remake#and 3 and 4 dear god 4 got mauled#Just look at the SPRITES in dialogue boxes#the boxes themselves#the keyboard ui#like sure you might think animal crossing but all I see is what used to be#many games had UI that was unique enough from another to be identifiably that game's artistry#banjo kazooie and conker have what I'd consider the baseline for UI#like text boxes and such are kinda generic but they're not literal fuckin squares with white outlines#actual chat bubbles come up when character's speak or think in conker#that's good shit#Dark Souls 1 has that cool leather background#then you look at the RE remakes and go what the fuck happened#Even the RE 1 Remake knew to have decent enough UI even while hiding all forms of artistry behind the color black and single tone shading#valle verde#analog horror

The crackship to "oh wait this is actually cute" pipeline is real and it took about 10 minutes to get there
#don't stay up til 4 in the morning sending CU memes kids#tbf I've always wanted to use that meme as inspo for a drawing#and it was my first time drawing Melvin!#i hate his hair#and i dont like shading Harold's hair either#but i think it turned out pretty good#remember how in my last CU art i said I'd only be here for a week?#yeah i lied.#theyre meant to be like 12 or 13 here#art#captain underpants#harold hutchins#melvin sneedly

Some possible* Tala stickers :D (Patreon)
#My art#Original#Tala#*I'm more just playing around with the idea of making some - personal stickers!#I mean I'm the biggest Tala fan anyway it's fine if it's for an audience of one lol#I finally got my hands on some sticker paper a bit back now it's just a matter of getting them the size I want and finding a good printer!#Ours is uh....well just don't look too closely at some of the greyscale pages I've posted they leave a bit to be desired lol#And that's just black and white I'm a little concerned what it'd do to pictures! :'D#Though I say that but it did print the art from Roundabout quite nicely so hmm! Maybe! But I do have other avenues if I want them :)#It's nice to have options!#For the time being they're just cute little guys of one of my cute little guys! :D In her doggy form and specifically her plush puppy form ♪#I really have been enjoying adding to her physical accessories haha - she's always got her little gold stitch/scar#And then her first accessory being the bracelet - and then her face mask - and now her ribbon! :D It's all very cute she's very cute#She's also good feral practice since I'm still not very good at drawing dogs or cats or the like :'D#I used references for that first one! Wowie!#I'm a fan of how she turned out overall :) I can still see some work I'd like to improve for her back legs but other than that :D#Baring her little teefsies hehe she's so scary ♥#My love of drawing plushies rears its head again - she is added to the list! No soft shading or lighting like MewTwo tho that's alright#The stitches are the really important part :) I like them!#I wish she could sit like that irl haha she's actually very stable to stand! A little awkward to sit#And finally a cutesy cartoony one :D She doesn't have paw beans irl either but come on I had to!#I debated whether they'd be pink or brown but I think I'm happiest keeping her palette simple :)#She's so cute <3

Shortfern
She/her, 128 moons, cis molly, currently pregnant!
#Shortfern#beetleclan#healer#elder#warrior cats oc#clangen#kiri’s clangen#Fun fact she's actually a pale grey mackerel tabby I had to look up her colors in the code because the screenshot sets I've been using have#-shading enabled and I had to remake her in cat maker#anyways I love her. Sweet old lady#her flavor text in my screenshot is shes “thinking about taking on an apprentice”#and she's a good kitsitter and storyteller so I think she's gonna be a good mom#I'd like to think she was interested in having kits for a long time but was simply too busy and now she has finally done it#good for her#I loved drawing her crow's feet her design just makes me happy#also I have two other beetle healers with fern somewhere in their names so I think I'm gonna have to change them#And I'd also like to think she's buddies with Sneezepelt. Gossipy old ladies of the healer's alliance

Magenta kinda?
#this heat wave has been a blessing and curse#it hit 110 earlier#my neck of the woods is used to peaking at 105 and nothing higher than that#this shit is unheard of for several days straight#right now its 93 and this past week ive had no physical pain cause of fibromyalgia nor flare ups#i haven't felt this in a long long time#this feels like heaven i can fucking move and be active without feeling so limited or bed bound#but the heat and humidity have given me bad headaches and heat exhaustion is legit#I'm keeping hydrated staying shaded and not overdoing things physically#but fucking a it feels like a dragon is snoring right in front of my face#the power company killed the grids earlier cause of fire precaution it took like 4 hrs to get it back on#and I'm marinated in sweat rn#if the headaches could go away I'd be dandy af even though i feel gross#magenta#magenta is my vent word#not magenta but some other pink variant#trying to write but its too hot for brain#been reading and crocheting in the meantime while getting over headaches#i need to live somewhere where the winters arent horrible and the summers are hot but not excruciating#i need a personal terranium#thats what i need#hope everyone is doing good and staying safe if youre in a heat wave too

Hm.
Well it was a good effort, bored now though 🧍👍
#moe tag#just spent like. an amount of time. clipping vaguely moe like in hairstyle charas together#i think hinoka's hair color is closest to its natural color but xane's bangs are closer in layout#ascended nino esp has the moe hair. really good jumping off point!#ares has the closest orangey blonde. i think.#i don't even know where i'd begin doing its outfit. i think i would have to start from scratch mostly#but then i got to a point where i realized ohhhhh. i'm gonna have to blend this shit.#okay. well. nevermind actually i've never been able to pull of that style of shading/blending LMFAOOO#ESP IN MY DIGITAL WORK. when i used to do digital. i was v cartoony all the way#sad!

i cant believe that it has been ten years since dai and there are still people who whitewash dorian and josephine.
and there are still people who reblog said art
#grapecase complains#im not talking about half a shade off or like people still figuring the nuances of lighting#[i tried learning to shade Once. that shit isnt easy]#im talking about why is dorian lighter than fenris#im talking about why is that white woman wearing josie's hair and outfit? imposter!#like and yall already doing it to neve and lucanis#just bc the shade youre using is a shade of brown doesnt mean you should use it#if it isnt ... accurate#fuck i'd even take IN THE SAME BALLPARK#stop

Y'all want a Paper Mario-styled drawing of Micah Koopa? 💖✨⭐
#Star's Art#Micah Koopa#Super Mario#Paper Mario#Koopsona#Coolness#Remember how a mere two posts ago that I said I'd draw my koopsona in the actual Paper Mario style?#Well... SURPRISE!!!! 💖#I wanted to save this post for this Thursday at the earliest seeing that I've been posting a lot about this koopa lately#But after some thought I decided to just post it today because I REALLY want my sister Stephanie to see this#I am so proud of this piece that I just couldn't WAIT to show it to everyone!!#I actually had a draft of this drawing going around the time I first showed my koopsona off here#But I ended up finishing it in almost one sitting and a half because... truth be told...#It is RIDICULOUSLY fun to draw in Paper Mario's artstyle and I've yet again mastered a style on my first attempt XD#I was so certain that the shading style of the Paper Mario series (And the Mario franchise in general) would be a nightmare#But after realizing the trick used to pull it off I was able to finish this quite quickly!#I also heavily referenced TTYD's Koopa Troopa sprite sheet over on Spriter's Resource to draw this#Seeing as that game's sprites are assembled from pieces so there were plenty of assets to go off of#I wanted this to initially look more like that game's key art without the white outline and paper texture...#... but honestly I think it looks a whole lot more perfect leaning in toward how modern Paper Mario's style looks!#You can consider this the definitive reference for my koopsona because I doubt I can top this#... well... that is until I inevitably draw her again#To think a few days ago I couldn't draw Koopas and now I've completely MASTERED it with this piece!!!
