For those who were having a hard time with the face paint stuff like I did, I figured out a way to help by creating your own reference so it would be wayyy easier to format your oc onto the mii face grid (this guide is probably for hardcore Tomodachi life players but if you’re insane like me it might help you out). You’ll need a drawing software of some kind for this, doesn’t matter which one.

Put your Mii’s facial features together that don’t require the face paint feature. Once you’ve moved to that part, take a picture of the face with your grid type of choice. (This is the part I’m talking about! ⬇️)

2. Take the photo you have (doesn’t need to be perfect and you don’t need a capture card, a photo from a phone works too) and input into your drawing software of choice. If you can, trace the grid on a new layer with a different color so you can overlay the grid with your new reference. Make sure there’s some amount of space because you’re gonna want to place your oc’s face somewhere.

3. Find a front facing image of your oc and trace it so you can play with the lineart and color layer separately, or make a new front facing image (like I did). Copy the layer of the lineart and use that copied layer to format your oc’s face over the mii face. Let it be known that you will have to likely edit the lineart to have it fit well on the mii face.

4. When things look good, you can then create a color layer and experiment with what colors you want to use and what kinds of light and shadow you think will look best. I created an entirely new reference next to my lineart reference so I could see them both at the same time.

(One thing I would like to note is that the image you use on face paint DOES distort a bit as it kinda wraps around the face! Make sure to check the mii’s face and edit anything to fix any kind of distortion!)

5. Use your new reference to put together your oc in Tomodachi life! Let it be known that it won’t be perfect, but it might be an upgrade to your previous attempts like me. When I did this I saw a massive change in quality so maybe some people will find this helpful.

This also helps for planning out more complicated designs or designs that might be hard to fit on the face grid. Note that this does take a lot of time, so if you’re willing to pour hours into this stuff this guide might work.

Apologies for any grammar or spelling mistakes my schizoaffective kinda makes those mistakes invisible to me lol

Well…happy pride. I made a comic last year here which covered my queer hate to queer pipeline I had as a kid raised in a Christian conservative community. That comic was originally just meant to be one-off until the election happened in which I wanted to make another one. The increased queerphobia (ESPECIALLY transphobia) happening within the US is frankly infuriating. I’m less afraid of my own safety (no matter what the state of the US’s view of queer people is, I would be miserably in the closet for most people I know and the ones I wasn’t still consider me subhuman which I assume is why I feel this way) and more for other queer people, especially my trans friends. I don’t really have much to say other than please stay alive, if you have to celebrate your queerness in hiding then do so. If you have to reach out to others to support you in times of crisis then do so. You are not alone, there are millions of us, many who are protesting these attacks on us. Hell, there’s even cishet allies who protest alongside us because they want us to have equal rights. So please keep hanging on!

Concept doodles on the update pride demon design I used for this year’s comic below:

Character lineups for School! The great thing about art college to an extent is you can just draw your OCs sometimes as a project. I’m hoping to cover more on these guys since everything I posted about them a while back I deleted and things have changed. Look out for more of this story concept soon!

I really don’t think I can stop these things are fun to do I understand now lads.

Textless version below:

For college I decided to redo Anymn of Iremare’s design and make a “professional” level reference for him! It’s quite useful to understand the character. My class and professor also loved him! I am very happy with the fact I managed to make my ‘character design is boring’ prof find what I did cool.

Sorry for double posting but APPARENTLY those commission scammers have showed up on Tumblr at least for the first time for me.

For those who don’t know what I am talking about, there were/are commission scams going on in Instagram and even places like Artstation where people would pretend to be interested in your work and try to commission a pet or portrait for the sake of trying to get your bank details. Here’s how to (somewhat) sniff them out:

1- They don’t seem to be an average customer/ person that would be involved in your fandom, or has a blank template for an account or don’t even follow you.

2- They ask you to draw a portrait or a pet picture either for themselves or their children/family.

3- They promise to overpay you (in the hundreds) and do not listen to you even if you firmly state the price is cheaper.

4- They are constantly asking for your email name, or private details regarding things like banking details or passwords or other private information others should not know.

5- They try and over reassure you they mean no harm, try to guilt you into giving them the info, or become aggressive over you not giving them what they want.
