Why don't you just stop already?

Hmm

[punctuation-completionist]

“potentially do something of your choosing” - could you show some examples of those prospective wallpapers?

these are some of the phone proportioned wallpapers, and while i can't find where it's saved, my blog header is also a thing that i designed! these are a tad old—i mean they're from september and i have gotten better at graphic design and i think that my minor amount of pixel art experience somewhat helped me—but i think they should give an idea of what i can do!

@thegoldensungoddess's birthday is tomorrow, but I just wanted to post this as an early birthday gift. She has been there for me for 6 years now, and I'm proud to call her one of my best friends, even if we still haven't met in person yet, but hopefully, someday, we will.

[splatoonpolls]

so the Pokeverse drama for those who don't use twitter

I am using these threads

They copied the slogan from the biggest pokemon group in the Philippines

The tickets costed P1000 (17$) and for The Philippines that is double the average price, and the VIP tickets were P6000 ($102). and the three day ticket costed P19500 ($331). While children got in for free, it was either under 5 or under 12. That info wasn't clear enough

Cosplayers got in for half the price, except one who cosplayed someone the staff didn't recognize

There were first 39 artists tables, that then went down to 15

There was the ravioli man, a man who ate a jar of ravioli and smelled bad (children were at the event btw)

It was 9000$ per table. and the tables were 1mx1m

Several activities were falsely advertised or had a lot of missing info. The baking one not even being baking and the digital painting one being for kids, but they required the kids to bring with them their own ipad. The teacher was prepared to teach in autodesk sketchbook for an older kids, there were 9 year olds there. The teacher did do a good job though

The artists were not treated well at all. One of the artists spoke out about it on her facebook

They ran out of tickets on day two so they used stars

After a decade long return, the inflatables returned

there was no lounge for the cosplayers to change into their cosplays

The camera crew did not respect people's privacy

The healider guests, Veronica Taylor (one of Ash's voice actors) and Jason Paige (the guy who sang the pokemon opening) were really nice during the entire event however. But they were not paid

A really shitty stamp rally compared to one organized by Pokecon (organized by Pokemon Philipines)

Make-a-wish worked with Pokeverse. But instead of pokeverse letting the kids meet the headliner guests in private. They had immunocompromised kids stand on stage with a ton of stranger around them. They recorded the kids faces and everything on facebook, they had to introduce themselves. They decided to film someone who the staff knew had scopophobia and uploaded their face without their consent,

They filmed several people without their consent,

the person who made the thread complained on facebook and pokeverse did not liked being exposed

Also she posted this

TLDR, this is probably the worst con event i have seen someone talk about. Not respecting peoples personal space, not protecting immunocompromised kids, and having horrific company transparency and taking advantage of pokemon fans both young and old

Third attempt at His Majesty, the First Emperor of the Cultivation World 🖤

I feel like this one did not come out so well. Both the anatomy and the robe are wonky and the only part I actually like is the face, but I have made myself a promise that I will finish and post bad art, otherwise I will never post anything at all. Eventually, there will be progress.

Done in Autodesk Sketchbook.

[theflamingredwolfarts]

Made a digital artwork of both Sam Winchester as played by Jared Padalecki and Dean Winchester as played by Jensen Ackles in CW's Supernatural as a b-day gift for the amazing @kameyasart !!!

This artwork was a really fun one and an interesting one to do, I really enjoyed making this for her and I'm really proud of it! The coloring of both was really fun to do, I'm really proud of the thicker outline that both brothers have and the painterly background for them! I went a bit more stylized for this one in my rendering by not focusing on the details TOO MUCH which was a breath of fresh air and I learned a lot from it!!!

My obsession with The Lonely Planet The TRUE Story.

A story that I wanted to tell my friend, @theallseeingspacegoods and maybe all of you guys out there will find this entertaining too.  It all started back in the summer of 2014. 

I remembered being so hyped for the new Wander Over Yonder episodes premiering in June. Plus, I even remember the adorable artwork that fellow WOY blogger, @wanderin-over-yonder made for the new episodes that were going to air that summer. I fell in love with the amazing drawings she created for them: The Nice Guy\The Time Bomb, The Tourist, The Day\The Night. But there was one picture I couldn’t get enough of. Surely enough, this drawing would lead to me becoming obsessed with the newest episode of Wander, scheduled to release on June 17th, 2014 and that was…

The Lonely Planet.

Seriously, the second this picture showed up onto the social media page, I instantly became excited to watch this particular episode. In fact, the official synopsis of it got me more excited: “A lonely, sentient planet named Janet becomes obsessed with Wander and wants to keep him all to herself.” 

Not to mention, during the end credits of The Night, we got our first look at Janet, thanks to a little WOY Disney XD promo song, singing about all the places Wander has traveled and Janet was one of them. Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to watch this episode when it aired. When the day finally arrived, I never been so pumped in my entire life. 

The Lonely Planet\The Brainstorm aired on June 17th, 2014. (A date that would remain with me forever.), I watched both of them and I loved them. After they were over, I remember drawing a picture of Wander captured by Janet for the first time in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro: 

(My first digital drawing of The Lonely Planet.) 

Little did I know that this obsession I was having with this episode was about to become a whole lot bigger…

Flash forward to June 18th, 2014, I was looking on Google, trying to find screenshots of The Lonely Planet, then I discovered this screenshot of Wander all frightened when Janet’s plant vines were reaching towards him. It suddenly lead me to this RP blog called janet the planet. The moment I encountered it, there was NO going back! I became obsessed with the old RP blog and went on it every chance I got. In fact, if it wasn’t for this RP blog, I never would have had discovered the new world of Tumblr and encountered the amazing people in the WOY community. But other then discovering a new website, I was completely obsessed with The Lonely Planet, Janet herself, her obsession with Wander and I was ready to draw just about ALL the fan art I could have of them! 

As my final years in middle school began back in August, there was no doubt my obsession with Janet and Wander was in full swing, so much so, that I drew my first drawings with the characters, (in the form of 2D redraws):

(My various redraws of The Lonely Planet P1.) 

(My various redraws of The Lonely Planet P2.) 

Middle school also lead to me drawing conversations of Wander and Janet. I’ll tell you guys, I drew a LOT of conversations between the characters, and I literally mean A LOT!! Basically, I drew and drew tons and tons of fan art of Wander and Janet together. I didn’t quite know that I was making them a couple…. 

But aside from middle school, high school was where my Lonely Planet drawing skyrocketed as I drew Wander visiting Janet and the planet literally keeps Wander trapped forever on her planet, she keeps him trapped throughout Monday and Thursday, but on Friday’s she would let him go and enjoy his weekend, only to get trapped once again the next week and the cycle starts all over again. 

In fact, during the breaks and holidays, Janet tries her extra hardest to keep Wander with her at ALL times by any means necessary. Because during this time, I kinda made Maurice explore the galaxy on his own but he always return to Janet to tell her about the amazing sights he saw. I dunno, I guess I was just so obsessed with Janet and Wander, I kinda forgot about Maurice. But I draw him with Janet a bunch nowadays. 

As for my digital art of the characters, I drew them NON-STOP! One of my favorite drawings to draw was the screenshot of Janet vowing that she and Wander are together forever until the end of time:

(My first MS Paint drawing of Wander and Janet.) 

Plus, I been drawing this redraw for a long time now.

Another thing about my obsession with this episode is that it introduced me to the “obsessed fangirl” and “Yanderes” topics. (Yes I know, no shocker there.) I found myself becoming obsessed with different obsessive characters from various movies and TV shows, pretty much everything I knew about these characters, I became obsessed. NTM, I can literally recite The Lonely Planet, the ENTIRE EPISODE by heart! Plus, I can do a spot-on Janet impression as well. 

I dunno what was it about this episode I became absolutely obsessed with and the obsession still continues to this very day, minus the fact, I’ve been trying to post about it less now because when I joined Tumblr in 2019, I talked about The Lonely Planet LITERALLY 24.7. I told other Wander fans about my obsession with it too, even to the point I asked them to draw fanart for me of it…it lead to something shocking during March of this year, but I won’t get into any details about it. (Besides, I can’t stand to lose any more friendships like I’ve already had.) 

To make a long story short, The Lonely Planet is my favorite episode of Wander Over Yonder. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of other episodes out there that are amazing and I love them too. But this one will always have a special place in my heart! 

Thanks for reading! Keep clam and Wander on!

How to Get Selfship Merch and Art with Low or NO Budget

*Okay, kinda misleading title as many of these are DIY but they can be cheap or free depending what materials you have access to. These are just some basic ideas I hope will inspire people to try their own things.

Feel free to add any ideas you have, too!

Things you can get/make for free

Picrew / Dressup games

I’ve seen some couple/romance picrews before!

I don’t always find the options I want in Picrews (ie body type) but you can always edit them using free software like Autodesk sketchbook, gimp, etc

Wallpapers

If your f/o is popular, you might be able to find some good phone/desktop wallpapers by searching online

Edits

There’s free apps for editing selfies where you can put in a photo and add in filters, stickers, etc. (Not my area of expertise, also may not work as well with animated f/o’s)

Free apps for video editing - I see a lot of edits on Youtube and Tiktok for example

Making silly edits where you put your ship into existing memes

Free art?! - Artists doing art requests / free art for experimental purposes

(Search for “art requests: open”, only ask if people offer first)

Free art?! - You can draw whatever you want, whenever you want

Apologies if that sounds condescending, but that’s often the thought that motivates me to draw selfship art when I do. No one can stop me from drawing myself kissing my f/o!

If this is daunting, try breaking it down into smaller steps. Search for tutorials on how to draw your f/o, or how to draw romantic scenes, etc.

Misc arts & crafts!

Whatever you have on hand you could make - especially in your f/o’s colors! Or things you associate with your ship

Sometimes schools and libraries have free events where they let people make things free of charge - check out your local library’s site! They’re always open for feedback, you can email suggestions for events.

I’ve seen events where they let you paint, make friendship bracelets, make buttons with their button machine, etc

For example my uni had a “destress from finals” event where you could make bracelets with plastic beads (like kandi?), and I made one with my friend’s f/o’s name and color scheme. 

Things you can get/make for cheap

Keychains! Get one of those keychains where you can put a photo in, print out or draw a pic of your beloved, and put that bad boy in there

A lil character shrine! It doesn’t have to be huge

A good place to start could be a photo of the character and little trinkets you associate with them. Like an eraser shaped like their favorite animal or a candle in a scent that reminds you of them.

This was a really pretty scene and I wanted to draw it. Original art made on Autodesk Sketchbook. Luz is the best mc in the history of tv and no one can convince me otherwise.

"For Your Own Good" by me | (Also on DA)

In this episode of Not-BG3, someone, perhaps the player character or Tav, had a thirst for bodies (no Diddy, no vampire), and the rest of the squad found a way to contain it... and its wielder. The curious thing is whether they had already fit in the lamp or were made to fit inside.

For all intents and purposes, if I come to create more ideas like this, they'll be in a gallery/group called "Spoiled Homebrew" or something like that. Get it? Homebrew? D&D? Beer? I'll leave.

May the Power of Bhaal, Myrkul, or Some Other God Compel You!

Autodesk Sketchbook (to start before the free version stopped working)

Krita (for a bit to try it out with collages)

"Woman in Black Long Sleeve Shirt and Black Shorts Sitting on Floor" by Kseniya Kopna from Pexels

Sketchbook Pro (the paid/updated version of Sketchbook above)

Photopea (to finish with the dialogue font) FYI: The font used here is Rosarivo if you're curious. It's a close fit, and it's free. Like the Hells I'm paying $88 or whatever to get the actual font used.

"Antique decor decoration chair old" by mrsiraphol on Freepik

"Trees in Forest in Countryside" by PHILIPPE SERRAND from Pexels

"Person Holding Lantern" by Gantas Vaičiulėnas from Pexels

"Woman Wearing a Red Cape in the Woods" by Juan Felipe Ramírez from Pexels

vignette

Circa June 2024.

The goal was to make this quite coded without actually being the thing. If one's headcanon somehow works well enough with this and him to imagine such a scene in-game or inspire something else, then I'm flattered.

Is the violet one with horns distant or just half-sized? Who knows?

[averlym]

I am very not normal about your Adamandi art, what brushes and programs do you use to draw? Hits the skrunkly autism part of my brain.

hi!!! sjdhdjfh thank you for the compliment! <33 (i was very not normal when i made it /lh)

i'm going to take this as an excuse to Ramble beneath the cut

most of the adamandi stuff started out as sketches i was messing around with in between the madness of school coursework season! so like. <insert pen/ mechanical pencil on paper>

there's nothing quite like discovering dark academia during what was essentially our last year of high school finals season: practically all of the fanart, serious and unserious, began as barebones sketches and text, before the obsession took over and i somehow (???) managed to render the idea across.

see below for the ghostwriter one- the original sketch- as it went the ideas got cut, but if the original sketch was legible enough i'd use it as a base for the digital painting + outline.

i've also added in-progress pics of the litanyofthemartyrs one: this one might have been the most ambitious? to answer your original question, my comfort mode is photoshop, default brushes,,, it varies a lot depending on the vibes of the work. <litany of the martyrs> was done first with the hard tapered brush in photoshop, 100% opacity, then i went over with lower opacities / softer brushes in photoshop as i added details, so it looked less harsh.

for quincy, though, since i struggled so much, this file got shifted back and forth through fingerpainting in autodesk sketchbook on my phone (colour builder brush, varying opacity), and photoshop on my laptop with the wacom! painting on my phone is usually harder for me to adapt to, but allows me a much greater freedom and easier blending. so....

the brushes do alternate on vibes- vincent here was the hard tapered brush at almost consistent 100% opacity; while this ambrose had a low opacity hard round brush throughout!

and, well. sometimes i just redraw the sketch nicer, take a photo and call it a day.

[hugedwarflover]

I finally finished coloring in the third drawing that _no.time_ on Instagram made where it's both Dopey and Sneezy and not just one of them. I'm pretty sure the artist deleted this one because I looked back at their sketch of Sneezy and the one of Dopey and I have a feeling that they deleted the one of both of them. I've had all of them in my drafts before I actually traced them and colored them in. I have a bunch of other stuff in my drafts and some of them aren't very important, but I'm still gonna keep them in there.

[spacenintendogs]

Hi! I love your art and I’m so curious to know what your art process is like!

i've been trying to figure out how to answer this & i've honestly realized that my process is a mess LOLOL i did record myself!!! drawing fishlegs bc he is the fave & easiest for me to draw! i hope everything i explain under the read more makes sense!!

it took me over 44 minutes to draw & the screen recording in the art program i use (autodesk sketchbook) brought it down to about 7 minutes and 25 seconds. i didn't wanna speed it up even more bc it'd be way too fast & jarring i think but!! i've uploaded the video to youtube (with some animal crossing music <3)!! i will still try to explain what i did here tho!!

my initial sketches are EXTREMELY loose! i start with the head by drawing a circle & extending past it for the chin of the character & proceed to do the nose, eyes, & mouth!! hair is next, but if there's a helmet i need to draw, i'll do that before the hair!! then i'll do the body starting from the shoulders & going down!! for the hands i just do circles/a general shape! no details!!

the sketch layer is a layer of black for the brush color with with lower opacity

i immediately do lines on top with the same brush but with black at full opacity on the kayer above!! this time i actually take my time to be more careful with details BUT i am still very sketchy & if smth isn't 100% accurate after i try a few times, i leave it be! hands however...

i almost always end up taking a photo of my hands using the front facing camera set to a 5 second timer on my phone! i also draw using my phone so it's literally having everything i need all in one place lol!! i do trace my own hands but obv i adjust based on what i'm drawing!! fish's hands are def gonna be wider than mine!!

NOW for color i color pick directly from screenshots!! however i use it mostly for flats & then pick my own for shading!! let's focus on the flats for now!! i start with the skin always!! the skin is going to have color layers above and below it, so it's easier for me to see where everything else will go if i've got the skin all settled. here you can see my color layers!! these are ALL flats!!

shading & lighting i don't rlly... focus on being accurate 100% but i try to do it based on where a shadow would absolutely be/to give the appearance of some type of depth (my art is very flat either way tho!) like where his lower hand is cupping i'll shade but leave the top of the upper hand unshaded for the most part! i lay out everything in a multiply layer first (can be any color u want based on the vibe u want!!) & then use a smudge tool to blend it out!! same goes for the lighting layer!!!

my art overall is a lot of scribbling big lines & curves then using the lineart to do the same but slowly make adjustments until it looks acceptable to me. it's SO much erasing & reshaping & i always have sketch lines everywhere but i like how it looks. it looks like i drew it, u know? plus the httyd books art style is a HUGE inspiration to me, at my core. i didn't even realize it was until ppl on here pointed it out :') i also enjoy drawing fast & moving on!! which is just smth i've trained myself to do since my star fox days (the reason i draw in the first place!!)

thank u!!!! i hope this made sense!!

[lynaferns]

Before I go to bed because I haven't slept all night doing a thing.

How interested would you guys be in having my Custom Made Brushes for Autodesk Sketchbook?

(well, now it's Sketchbook inc)

I know not everyone uses Sketchbook, but! It's a free art program, it's the one I use, and I've been thinking for a while about sharing my brushes.

[clementartz]

what ❓brushes🖌️do💃you🫵use? 🤯 your🫵art🎨is👁️SO‼️‼️SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

ok so i use a really jank ass program that like no one uses anymore (and that even the company who made it has abandoned) called autodesk sketchbook... so... not sure how helpful this is but these are the two brushes i use the most often

also, thank you! :)
