“Sorry,” Stiles Said, Unsure Of Why He Was Apologizing. “I’ve Never Heard That Song Before. Did

My Name is Derek Hale page 02 - in which the song lyric text is too tiny but hopefully somewhat readable, and stiles is having A Morning.

Next page is once again queued up for next weekend! this and page 3 have too many panels crammed into them, it gets better i promise lol

[<<prev | P02] Original story on Ao3 by @isthatbloodonhisshirt

More naps for the boys (:

My headcanon is Derek has a beat-up old gameboy color (scratched up, the battery cover's missing, etc) that somehow survived the fire - maybe it was in a storage somewhere.

might line and render this later, but i liked the color combo so you also get this version <3

Dedicated to @renmackree who is the best hypeman, i appreciate you!

Finally sat down and edited the speedpaint of this into something watchable - original file was 10 minutes long bc i have 9 hours logged in the file (':

I always enjoy watching speedpaints myself so i hope you enjoy this as well!

Speaking of Sterek headcanon music, I think that Derek as millennial, he listened a lot of the classic punk and emo rock bands when he was a teen, and still listen to those band that are active. Linking park, Paramore, Evanescence , bring me the horizon, skillet and the Rasmus.

(I still do 🤣)

yeees i love this!! and i haven't listened to the rasmus in AGES how nostalgic!

now i'm imagining teen derek sitting in front of his computer, agonizing over which handful of songs to put on his little mp3 player for a field trip 🥺

Creating the content i want to see in the world: more sleepy derek hale :] a wolf burrito. worrito. wolfarrito.

we'll workshop it.

Also to further my Stiles' erratic taste in music (other posts: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9) headcanon, he's listening to:

Which is another had-it-on-repeat-for-days kinda song for me, what can I say! it slaps. also recommend Bobby, huge earworm.

In case more people are curious: Amazingly enough, the dwarf running t-shirt I bought a decade ago is still available! (although i can't say if it's the same shop) The water bottle (which is my favorite) is currently out of stock but they've had restocks previously, so keep an eye out!

Stiles' pants are, unfortunately, a limited release from cloakbrand that I got in a blind box a few years back

Engaging in the time-honored tradition of drawing characters in your own clothes - workout edition :] running and powerlifting are my go-to activities

What I drew Derek in is probably the only matchy workout clothes I own, I usually go for comfort lol

Happy (late) 3 months to my first ever sterek art (': insane how it's only been 3 months and fitting that it was babygirl coded derek that started it all ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

My 'the way Derek wears his sleeves long is giving babygirl vibes' friend kept showing me Ariana Grande pictures and saying 'this but Derek' and so of course I had to comply for purely selfless reasons :)

Continuing my Derek in soft sweaters crusade

WIP wednesdayyy

Been giving my hand a break the past week, so not much new under the sun compared to previously.

Almost finished with the cover for my stiles playlist (redraw of the 'lofi girl' image if it's not obvious), still working on the comic (ft a mirror shot that i painstakingly put together in my 3D program lol) and just for fun an example of how all my drawings start out: barely cohesive scribbles ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ (the only context you get is misheard lyrics lol)

Also thanks to everyone who voted in the poll i posted! More than half voted for 1 page at a time, so I think that's what I'm going to go for - maybe 2 if it's more coherent. Going to finish a few more before i start posting because i often need to go back and change/add things for consistency, but I'm hoping to start posting soon! ☆_☆

For the Artist Ask game! 6 & 24 😄

(i accidentally saved this to drafts and didn't notice for a couple days, sorry!! thanks a bunch for sending them in <3)

Artist ask game

6. favorite thing to draw?

Other than hands and dynamic full-body poses mentioned before, I really like drawing noses! It's fun to make them unique to each character if I'm drawing art for something that isn't live-action (aka giving characters a big ol' beak 9/10 times) I'm weirdly particular about getting noses and ears 'right'/consistent lol

24. whats a compliment about your art that has always stuck with you?

My sister says she can tell when I've really had fun drawing something! And someone online once said I have a knack for making bodies have volume and feel 'heavy' if they're lying down 🥺 Both meant a lot to hear and i regularly think about them!

In the interest of giving my hand a break, here's something a little less refined - I really just wanted to draw Erica in this top of mine but i couldn't not add her boys. the terrible trio of my heart.

First time drawing all 3 of them, looking forward to capturing them better in the future 🫰
