12 / 28 - Happy Birthday to The Cherished, Cheren Slater!
"Everyone has a different dream; search for your life's purpose."
Tumblr media
Started this as early as the third of December (Cheren Descante's birthday!) because I don't know when or how hard artblock will hit- and I don't want to make anything less for my skrunkly who has been in my brain since last year ...
I couldn't copy-paste the Cheren's Card text with the colorless icon, so I settled for using a white heart instead, since it's one of Slater's motifs!
Additionally, the background is reused from my Mutual Rotting window art; it's a fitting background regardless, since the buildings outside may or may not represent the buildings of Aspertia or Castelia. <3
Anyway, for those who don't know about my little guy and what he has going on, you can check the Cheren Slater masterlist here, or the Pokemon BW / BW2 Rewrite - Blight / Blur masterpost here!
Additionally, here's his character arc playlist,
And here's an aesthetic blog I made dedicated to him, his iterations, and his motifs!

Artblock
Masterlist Hurt/comfort Pairing: Alex KellerXReader A little something, I'd like to dedicate to all the beautiful souls, suffering from the art block. It will pass.
Tumblr media
"This is a crap." Another sheet of paper is getting ripped apart right before his eyes. Alex witnessed soldiers getting severe wounds, he still remembers seeing his own body changed by war forever.
But this hits harder.
You hating everything, that made you smile just yesterday, destroying hours, days even weeks of a hard work. Alex would prefer, if you took it out on him. Slap him in the face, scream, start a fight, anything! Just don't hurt, what he loves the most - yourself.
"Useless pile of shit. I just waste paint, paper, time and air!" Alex feels, as if something inside him curled up in a lump. He needs to stop this at any cost. Stop this, before you get to...
"Fucking waste of space!" He loves this work of yours with all his heart. Because to him, it screams your name. It is your voice, your eyes, your beautiful mind. And you destroy it.
Alex knows, it's better to give you space and time. This fire will eventually burn out, it will get better at some point. But he can't help it. When anybody hurts you, even if it is you yourself - his body reacts automatic. He scoops you up and drags you as far from your works, as it is possible.
"Listen to me, please! You are not happy with your works, I get it. You have every right to feel so. I just can't watch it, as you are hurting, and do nothing!" He presses his lips against your forehead, not caring for keeping 'friendly distance'. To hell all the formalities, when you feel that bad. Alex has to drag you away from this place, that only feeds your self-frustration.
"Let's go away, just leave this place for a while, please. Let me take you anywhere, where you won't think about your paintings for one evening, please! You need a break. Let me help!" He doesn't care anymore, how it looks from afar. A friend can carry a friend out of their atelier, hugging them so desperately as if their life depended on that.
He will do anything to shift your attention from the aching wound, that your workplace turned into. Alex will talk to you, whisper, beg, joke, lull. There is no point, at which he would stop, not a line, he won't cross, if he feels like it could help. He will reveal the most sacred secrets, he will surrender, confess. He will forget, how to breathe, sink on his knees before you. Alex will lose the sight of everything around. He will kiss your palms, that brought so much beauty to this world. Again and again, he will worship every finger, that dances around your canvas.
He won't fall asleep this night, not until he's sure, you're finally in peace.
The next time you see that last work, you destroyed that evening before him, it won't be on paper anymore - it will be on his skin. Right on the chest, where you find comfort and solace.

Heya
Just wanted to say thank you! For a while I've been struggling with a HUGE artblock. I couldn't even make a simple sketch. But when I saw your artworks (which are AMAZING). And I gotta say, your artstyle, the atmosphere of drawings, they are so inspirable (I hope I wrote it right, English is not my mother tongue). When I see your works, I want to try and sketch something, even if its gonna be bad (since, yknow, 2 years of non-drawing hits like a truck of realisation)
So thank you, for your work and inspiration
(P.s. so. Reader's name is Sophie. And. My name is Sophie. GOTTA SAY THATS SOMETHING EHEFEJ ehehe and yah monke boi🛐)
Tumblr media
It's okay Anon! English is not my mother language either!
FTGEXBIUHECKUGW I don't know what to say! I'm so glad that my art could help you with your artblock even if it's just a little bit! Just don't be too hard on yourself, okay! I have had huge artblocks before but I know eventually they will go away as long as you are nice to yourself first! This was super sweet to read in the morning and I don't know what else to say other than thank you so much! 🥺❤️ (Also Sophie in my opinion is a super pretty name! :D)

Geniune question how do you draw so much? I really admire your work but I have such a hard time not getting constantly hit with artblock I wonder how you do it.
i'll begin to tell you that being unemployed and out of school does help. won't lie! the art you see posted here is part of a bigger pattern of Making Art (for portfolio-related reasons & whatnot) so i'm always. Makin Art. i'm fully focused on Art for the better or the worst. second disclaimer is that i hyperfixate and not in a fun teehee enjoyable way - when i start a piece, i will neglect getting enough sleep or feeding myself well until i see it finished. this is not healthy, and while it is part of how i Draw So Much, it's unsustainable for you as much as it is for me. do not fret if you can't Churn Art Out like i do - you're probably healthier off this way. i'm trapped in cycles of Arting and when i stop drawing or writing get get genuine physical symptoms of restlessness, my limbs itch or ache, i pace a lot, i have racing/disordered/cyclical thoughts, like Not Fun. tldr i pray To God You Don't do it like i do.
now some actually helpful tips lol:
have multiple things going on at once. it might seem counterproductive but not being hyperconcentrated on Art allows for your mind to get inspirations from multiple areas. that might be having a job, being in college... for me it's having both personal and fanart on my plate among other things. - i've found that art block can come when you try to cram too much art at once, a form of burn-out, a psychological bottleneck; it's like constantly pulling on the reins of a horse, it will get used to the pulling, and you cannot out-strength a horse, nor can you out-block artblock. when i'm not drawing, i'm writing, listening to music, checking out movies, traveling (even on small scales): all of that feeds into my art, it's all inspiration fodder. when i'm writing, i might write a line which i think would have a banger foundation for a scary image, and the scary image appears to me. new idea!. - don't force yourself to draw, you cannot out-block the block, do something else and inspiration will come.
artblock can often comes when your ideas/desire to draw outdo your current skills, which is a Very, Very common issue, especially if you're improving fast. identify what you're struggling with, and take the time to study it, even if it's just for 10 minutes. full focus, nothing else going on. i also have on my phone entire folders will of references, typically "how to draw [bodypart]" refs, some art pieces i find are visually striking and inspiring, pictures for poses, etc. - if you're struggling with backgrounds, try to trace a picture as study, then reproduce it without tracing, just with it as a visual reference. watch tutorials on how to paint a landscape, or how to understand perspective. - if you're struggling with anatomy, try to do some live poses studies on quickposes, line of action or something of the sort. - something else that has helped me tremendously is anatomy for sculptors PDF. it's pretty expensive but you can find it online for free. wink wink nudge nudge. it breaks down all the muscle groups on the body and gives you a better understanding of the way the human body moves. invaluable resource imo. it's very thin-centric though, so i'd recommend pairing it with like. google search [how to draw fat on a person], [body type you want to draw] and pairing it with the knowledge in the PDF. if you're pudgy or chubby or fat yourself you can use your own body as a reference ain't nothing wrong with that and see how the anatomy underneath reacts with the different levels of body fat or muscles. - i also have saved a tab for head angles ref, light on a face 3d ref model, and the pose tool. the pose tool has collections of live drawing pictures for both clothed and nude, in different poses (sitting, reclining,...). it's also very thin + young-centric (mostly for the women, how curious) & a number of the female poses are eroticized/male gazey but I Grit My Teeth And Bear It. i use them in application with the anatomy knowledge i learned from mentioned above, etc.
something that might seem counterproductive but works for me is that I Hoard WIPs. this makes it so that if i'm not fuckin wit a piece i'm working on and it's frustrating me, i put it aside for a little bit and go work on something else.
preddy much it... tldr I Do It in unhealthy, hyperfixated ways that if i catch you reproducing i'm coming to your house and hitting you wit a stick, however there are a few things that help me power through artblock, namely I Be Studyin What I Draw, i keep these mfer thangs [my refs] on me, and i find inspirations in multiple areas of life.
GOOD LUCK SOLDIER

hrng. the bane of my existence is decidijgnbetween drawing n slightly shorter than v OR slightly taller. i tjink J is the shortest so shes out of the question but making n tall is cliche BUT making v tall to me is like making myself short and i cannot be short. i cant be short id aftually rather get hit by a truck. v taller is funnier but n taller is Good for my brain + also works eith how i draw him. v is more stout and square while n is gangly as fuck and uzi is a happy medium being kind of short but SHARP with lots of tendrils/longer bits. also i feel loke as ive drawn doll & realized she looks like a twilight sparkle gijinka ive actually started to fall hard into that which is Undesirable. if shes a gijinka of anyone it better be maud pie on steroids. rules for my doll design; square. well kept enough that you aren't immediately weirded out but not well kept enough that suspicions dont start to arise when you look a little closer. doesn't smile enough for her teeth to poke out, but theyre longer than uzi's; she never had correction like uzi did. wearing a headband to be remniscent of dds. all her outfits are off-shoulder bcos she will overheat if not. two lines down her cheeks to look like "doll cheeks"??? cyn also has these but theyre meant to be more puppetlike. i usually try to dapple in lore elements in designs but thats just cosmetic. um. what else. AH OK. scarcely expressive, but when she is its ALL OUT. this is kinda canon actually. every time we see her express save for two instances that i can think of. shes totally deranged. killing the student @ the start of promening. fucking wit v. running away in dead end. like in every other instance sjes either :| or >:| but then when she ACTUALLY expresses shes like HHRHAHAHRRHWGWEORORWGGER. RABID ANIMALEWOROORIEUWWYGWG. hrng but then againnthis is a lot to think about when im. judt drawing & doodling. i need to find a good middleground between doodling and looking decent. NO I JUDT NEED TO FIND OUT HOW TO DRAW FASTER. i think too much WHEN im drawing but i ened to be doing the thinking BEFORE i draw. ugh i dont even know if this is artblock or not i think its my depression OK WOW majorly offtopic. i know ep 7 will make me insanely diseased 2morro so ill be good. dpring break too WOOHOO!!! i ended up clearing some dms today because. its. been lokg enough. but also i honestly dunnou if i will be checking shit during spring break. homework. maybe summer? not 2 far away. but then again thats when i will be taking drivers ed. hrrng. what EVAR. ill figuer it out :) i think im done. my head is most active when im forced to sleep so i need to ramble or ill go crauzysauce!!!!!! 2 say i am not a morning dragon would be tha understatement of the century. what 14 years of a sporadic peeper schedule and 2 years of no school does 2 a mfucker
ok anyways. ep seven. smile

Does Z miss his colony? Ring amongst his own kind? Has he ever thought about them or his tallers? Even for a moment?
How does Z feel being on his own now?
How long did it take him to reach earth? (6 months like Zim did in the series?) longer?
What are the few things that irritates Z at times?
You’ve mentioned that Minimoose is not in this comic. So Z’s not gonna make another sidekick?
What made him choose Earth out of all the more advanced planets out there?
How big are the tallers? Monster size or the series side tallest?
Have you ever had an artblock before? I’ve seen some artists have this struggle and I wonder if it’s common or something?🤔
Oooo, another lovely question bomb!
1. Z felt no attachment towards his colony, or his own kind, however, he does reminisce those times. Z is always thinking about the Tall Ones, the good and the ugly.
2. Nothing, he’s pretty independent!
3. I would say 6 months like the show!
4. Disorder, defects, or things that don’t go the way he wants. He can’t stand that.
5. He has a few other sidekicks! I will not say them however 🤫🤫
6. Like the show, Earth was considered a mysterious place, hell, the Tallest weren’t even sure if it existed. No Iyer-Kahn has ever been there before and Z knows that. He feels safe there, knowing that he won’t be easily caught if he hid somewhere unknown. Plus, the humans have peaked his interest, he feels that they may contribute to his plan.
7. The Tall Ones are HUUUUUGE!!! They’re about 24 feet tall! They ain’t call Tall for a reason! ;)
8. Oof, don’t even get me started. Art block is the worst. One moment you’d just be drawing as usual and then BAM it hits you unexpectedly and now you don’t know what to draw. It can be really aggravating and downright lost. Like what do I do now? Sometimes when I draw I forget how to draw a character and THAT SUUUUCKS. But I tell myself that this is how art works. Your mind isn’t gonna think it looks good the way it did before so you just gotta keep drawing until you find the right design that hits that sweet spot. Right now I’m struggling with Z. I used to draw him pretty fine, but now it’s hard for me to draw his head shape. It can be the worst since, y’know, he’s the main fucking antagonist, but like I said you just gotta keep drawing until you finally find that sweet spot. The “Yes! I finally got it!” Spot.

Request: "OKAY I JUST SAW YOu put arkhamverse jervis on your requests and omg- i'm sorry it's only been a few minutes since you did and now here's a req for him-
♡ 22 “Can I take a picture of you?” with arkhamverse jervis please? maybe reader likes taking pictures of people they find interesting, so they can draw them later on? have a great day/night!"
I LOVED THE ENTHUSIASM ON THIS REQUEST SO MUCH---
I was very,,, indecisive with this. I had a lot of ideas, and settling with something was hard and it turned into a mess lmao. I'm not very proud of this, but hey, i did my best and i had fun writing this!
Arkhamverse! Mad hatter x reader
Warnings / Notes: I CANNOT RHYME FOR THE LIFE OF ME, i didnt know how to end this properly so i hope this is good enough, this is my first time writing arkhamverse jervis so i hope its not ooc, not proofread
When artblock hits, what’s the best way to get rid of it? Well, there’s a lot of ways, but you decided traveling was the way to go. Not far, mind you, just the next city over - Gotham. Sure, Gotham might be dangerous and corrupt, but it was full of interesting people. You weren’t too familiar with the villains and their shticks, but you knew to be careful, just in case something did happen. What did your friend tell you to do? Ah, yes. “Don’t draw too much attention to yourself” and “Don’t make friends with strangers.”
And so, Here you were in the middle of amusement mile, alone, people watching in hopes of inspiration. So far, it had not been successful. Sure, some people had great outfits, the amusement park would've made for a great landscape but... it just didn't feel right. You needed something… more. Something that piqued your interest. Something unique.
That's when you spotted... is that a top hat? It was a man! Wearing something thay could've been described as something straight out of a story. Maybe not a fairytale - the colours were too dark for that, but a story nonetheless. Your eyes were practically glued to him as he walked past the colourful booths full of cotton candy and popcorn. Before you knew it, you were up from the bench with your bag, slowly walking towards him as he was stood outside a small confectionery.
Then you stopped. “What am I doing?”, you thought, gaze still glued to the man. If your friend saw you right now, they’d probably be dragging you out for even thinking of conversing with the man. But then again, They’re not here, are they? What is stopping you? Nothing. Except, well, the fact that when you saw his face, you swore you’d seen him somewhere. Maybe he was a vill-
You brushed off that thought, Because, well, what’s the chance of you running into a villain right now? Zero. Nada. You breathed in the cold autumn air, and walked towards the man. You lightly tapped his shoulder, making him turn around to face you. "Hey, can i take a picture of you?” You managed to ask, hand tightly gripping your phone. Before he managed to answer, you started explaining yourself. “I’m an artist and I… like drawing people that I find interesting. And you- well- you stood out, and wanted to draw you…” your hesitance quickly faded away as his hands clasped together and he practically beamed at you.
“Oh dear, How frabjous! It truly would be an honour to be your muse, Rabbit.” He slightly bowed, and you finally noticed the ‘10/6’ slip on his hat. Clever. The mad hatter.
The mad hatter.
Oh.
You swore you’ve heard that name going around a few times the past few hours, and.. this is the guy they’ve been talking about? He didn’t seem all that dangerous. If anything, he seemed sweet.
“Ah, thank you, I suppose-- Let’s go somewhere with better lighting, yes? It’ll be easier to see the details of your clothes that way.” You suggested, walking towards the merry-go-round, which happened to be the place with the most… decent lighting in the place. You took your pictures, and he was very talkative. You noticed he spoke in rhymes a lot, which was sort of… precious, in a way. Your photo session was interrupted by your phone ringing loudly due to your friend calling. You excused yourself quickly with a “Sorry, I gotta take this. Thank you for helping me!” And walking away. Honestly, your friend would’ve probably punched you for the stuff you pulled, but hey, you got your inspiration. You stopped by the ferris wheel, talking with them. They were just worried about you – You were in Gotham, alone, after all. You somehow managed to convince them that, no, you had not been kidnapped into a riddle-filled death trap or had your back broken, momentarily easing their worries. Once done, you put your phone back in your pocket, Turning around and meeting the hatter’s gaze, making you jump.
“Oh my god, you scared me.” You sighed, holding your hand to your chest. This made his expression turn into one of worry, as he apologised,
“Apologies, apologies, dear rabbit! I just wish to know, Would you care to join me for tea?”

Just telling you that please don't feel sorry for taking an indefinite break/rest from continuing your series' because we absolutely understand!
The same thing has been happening to me with drawing ever since covid hit. My motivation to create new sketches and drawings slowly started dying from all the mental stress covid brought upon me and my family and the world in general, but i started sketching a bit again.
Then when 2023 began i had to move schools and the school I'm now currently attending is extremely harsh and stressful, and leaves me to come home physically and mentally drained sometimes, so that absolutely killed my motivation to do anything, let alone draw.
I'm still very much struggling with lack of motivation and inspiration but I'm hoping that as life moves on, i start making art again.
Sorry i know you didn't ask for a whole ass life story from a complete stranger but through my story i just wanted to convey the msg that you are definitely not alone, and believe me I've felt guilty for having this artblock for a long time too. But the fact is that it is NOT your fault in any way whatsoever. You don't control motivation. You don't control your feelings. Please don't feel bad about it. I know it's definitely hard to not be able to bring yourself to do things that normally brought you so much joy before, but i promise it will get better. Life will get better.
Wish you the best btw and ly💗:D
omg no don't apologise at all, thank you for sharing! sadly we're in the same boat then 🥲 i feel like this was a bad year for artists bc my sister who's the visual artist of the family also stopped drawing bc of high school stress so 🥲🥲🥲
thank you so much for understanding and i really hope that you, too, get your inspiration back soon, so you can get back to doing what brings you joy 🩷

im actually gonna try and be easy on myself when it comes to creating, i think the reason why this recent artblock hit me so hard is because i just try to draw constantly instead of drawing when i want to

Hello, I'm absolutely in love with your work, and most especially your use of color!
Apologizing in advance if you've answered this sort of question already, but do you have any particular methods of choosing/applying color to your pieces? I've struggled with choosing interesting colors/palettes alot personally and would love to know if you have any tips or anything about it!
Hello, thank you so much for the question!
I've been sent a similar ask before, but I also don't mind talking about art so your ask is more than welcome. Plus you touch on an interesting point! The way you apply color can be just as effective as the color itself. FUN.
The ask I linked above talks about how I choose color palettes, so check that out if you're interested~. I'll expand a little bit more down below since you got me thinking about stuff
(One note though: I primarily work digitally, and I might on purpose or accidentally frame my tips around that mindset.)
It's time for a list because I love lists so much:
If something breaks the rules of reality but looks COOLER or fits your style or theme or you just LIKE it more....maybe do it anyway. Why not? At least see what it would look like! (Make a new layer if you're working digitally, sketch it out on some scratch paper if you're going traditional) (this is especially good with color. I KNOW not many shadows are that shade of teal but it just looks good jerry, sorry!) (Light sources are good for this too)
You are not locked into anything, ESPECIALLY if you're working digitally. If you don't like how something looks, try first to figure out what WOULD make it look better and then give it a shot (I say to think about it a little bit first to try and prevent the sketch-delete-sketch-delete cycle, but....sometimes you NEED that cycle too. Even deleted art still lives in the memory of your hands and experience. It’s just trouble to get stuck there.)
When struggling with colors, look to simplify. Maybe do more pieces with JUST flat colors, see if that doesn’t help your palettes. You will find your renders more appealing if you start with a base you like, and even if you don’t like your renders…you’ll have a base you like, and that’s good enough! Flat color art is COOL. Knowing when NOT to add detail is just as masterful as knowing when and where to
When it comes to something you're struggling with, look to other artists. That's part of why I'm very happy to answer asks like this - it's good to remember you don't have to come up with every answer yourself. Even if you can't ask directly, there's a lot to learn just from...looking at art. What inspires you? What looks cool, or appealing? What solves a problem you've been struggling with? 
For example, going back to color, you learn early in digital art that a purple/blue layer on multiply (or you know, other colors, but it's an example) can be a quick and easy way to do some shadows. and it is! I use it even today! But I never really liked it. So I started struggling with shadows. So I started looking to other art for inspiration. I've just always liked vibrant colors and watercolor as a medium, so...I started trying some things with that as my inspiration point.
I began applying shadows with watercolor brushes and wash brushes, I started using teal and aqua for shadows on top of a thicker magenta base. I started doing rim-lighting (boy oh boy rim-lighting). I started pushing and pulling colors, adding layers like with colored pencils. I started using more glow dodge layers, a separate layer for more opaque hard light and less opaque blooms; making pieces brighter instead of darker. I STARTED. Doing things I just LIKED more, and found out that hey…..some of it works. Some of it sticks. 
There’s a lot of advice out there on how to overcome artblock; and while I know that isn’t the exact nature of this question, from my own experience I’ve usually found I hit an artblock when there is a specific THING I am struggling with (for a long time it was feet. Right now it’s shoulders, necks, and noses. For you, perhaps it’s color). Whenever I hit this point there are a few easy things I try and lately it’s been working out.
I start by stopping drawing. I go out and get inspired again. Reading, watching animation, going out and seeing nice scenery in some good lighting, looking at other artists’ work…I take my mind of my own stuff and refill it with Good Juice for Creatives
I wait. I wait until my hands itch and I just gotta draw again. I wait until I have at least ONE thing I know I want to draw or try (like a new brush or challenge or IDEA)
When I start drawing again, I take it easy. Sketching in the sketchbook, drawing fanart or oc’s, not trying to come up with too much from scratch. The break we took earlier at least gives me enough energy and want-to-draw to power through the struggle of any remaining artblock
When you’re learning…there can be a frustrating SLOWNESS to it. And with art, well. It’s tricky. You’re training your eyes, hands, and mind on something…almost completely subjective. That’s why I keep coming back to studying things you like! Not only does that make for a more enjoyable experience…well. When I was in college, my art teacher told us to “trust your gesture”. 
When you are actively doing or studying art, you’re building a mental catalog. When you’re LIVING you’re doing this too! That’s where trust your gesture comes into play. You know colors you like when you see them. Trust the colors you like to be some of the colors you can use. Trust some of the things you like to be things you can learn from. A lot of art will come more naturally when you say “I know I can do it this way…but I WANT to do it this way”. 
And that’s why so much of my art is Like That.

i want to rant real quick, its not anything serious, just a personal art rant
ive always loved art, since like kindergarten, its something that i do alot and like to share. it helps me through depressive episodes and other troubles, it helps me fall asleep and i just do it bc i want to, etc.
i have other hobbies too, i love making music, playing games, reading, writing,, but those don't fully satisfy me
a few years ago, back in late middle school, or early high-school. i was talking with classmates. we were talking about hobbies and one mentioned that they noticed i draw alot, and asked if i do other stuff.
i said something along the lines of "yeah but i mostly draw" to which they responded "oh, thats kinda sad"
it hit me pretty hard. why was it 'sad'? i knew not to really listen to people like that but it stuck with me.and i started feeling self conscious that i drew daily.
i'd hold myslef back from posting when i made art and only would post every few days. i didn't like people knowing how much i drew. it made me really anxious at some times
and something i found hard to relate to alot of other artists i was friends with, follow or watch is,, not drawing. for whatever reasons they stop drawing, im mostly talking art block. as i just still doodle when i have artblock, bc i need to do something with my hands
and now i do just post whenever i have art but its still hard to not feel this weird guilt or distaste towards how often i draw
its ok if you draw alot and its ok if you don't, its ok if you rarely draw or in an artblock, or can't for whatever reason
