When The Whole Party Is Down But Your Bard Is Up

So I saw this meme floating around, so I decided to hop on the bandwagon.

“For You”

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to put into words just how much this show means to me, but I will say this-

Adventure Time is the purest reflection of human emotion I have ever seen. It makes me feel, down to my core, in a way nothing else can. It makes me marvel at the joy, and pain, and warmth, and grief, and above all- the sheer wonder of life.

Loss, candy and bacon.

How lucky we are to be alive.

How lucky am I to have been alive at the same time as you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hello! I'm a self taught artist who wants to get better at shading/lighting and backgrounds especially. But whenever I try to do a background study, I can't break it down and it ends up looking terrible. Do you know of anything that would help?

Hi! I would like to talk a little bit of the thought process behind photo study and the importance of simplicity.

It is really important to break down an image to chunks of value rather than seeing the detail  first, which can lead to over-complicated mush of colors with no constructed value.

These are some of the artists that inspired me to get used to breaking down images in the most simplest way possible:

Notice how super simple and straight-on-point his thumbs are? And this is how his colorscript for Moana looks like:

Zero detail. Yet you have all the information you need!

I personally think these thumb studies are super important to train your eyes to break down an image in values and colors and therefore be able to organize and design your painting better.

I wanted to do something for Asexual Awareness Week. Wanted to show appreciation by posing with the two characters that have grown with me over the years: Syre and Tyberius. They are an asexual couple who have had ups and downs and are completely comfortable with one another through a very close friendship. I have other ace characters but I wanted to showcase these two more since they have a very special place in my heart. 

I’ve identified as ace/aro for most of my life. I didn’t really understand what it was until recently when I heard the term asexual. For the longest time I felt weird and out of place among all my friends, who were experiencing romantic and sexual attraction, and I wasn’t. I was never interested in a relationships and  anytime someone showed that interest I would get really uncomfortable and uneasy. How people would always tell me “You just haven’t met the right person yet,” or “You’re a late bloomer, you’ll change your mind.”

Now I understand what it means to be ace/aro, that I can love platonically and that’s okay. Friendships are more special to me than romance or sex. That I don’t find people attractive in the slightest. Coming out to my parents was a little hard since they didn’t understand what it was (and they still don’t). But my parents show their support the best way they can and I am also surrounded by positive people who I can call friends. Friends that respect me and my orientation. So I thank you friends (you know who you are :D). I love you guys with all my little heart and in my own special way.

Still trying out the watercolors and gouache with a picture of my cleric tiefling ana. Had alot of fun with this.

Here we have some layouts and paintings I’ve done for an 2D animation workshop in school. Arabian Nights were the main setting here. 

Just in case you forget this exists.

It exists.

Colored version of Mikhail from Drakengard 3. Done as a hybrid between digital and traditional. I will probably make a gif later of the process. (*spoilers* I tend to draw things in pieces these days, even on paper.)
