What am I doing?

So once again my brother suggested I draw Batcat but this time he was way more specific about what he was wanting to see. Most importantly, he wanted Batcat for this portrait to be based on Gerard Way's design of Batman. Now, being aware of who that is, plus that MCR is my brother's favorite band, I kinda felt the need to make sure the vibes and colors were correct. And for the sake of this, it also meant some graffiti where I could make references to songs. I also after doing all that realized I kinda had to also do some kinda Joker graffiti too. I'll say, I had a lot of fun making myself experiment with tools I haven't used before. And then by the time that I finished this I only then discovered that June 8th is the 22nd anniversary for Three Cheers so this feels unintentionally perfect timing.

Please don't tell me I'm the only one who feels like that.....

I based Sebastian on one of the dogs that had been trained to help researchers find a specific kind of frog, I believe that the dog is a hound mix. Penny is based off of a picture I found from an article about dog reading therapy (dogs that kids are supposed to read to), I guessed that the dog in the picture was an English springer spaniel. Alex is based off a picture I saw of a dog playing Frisbee from the NFL website and texas heeler. Abigail is a belgian teruvuren because of her adventurous and mischief. Elliott is an afghan hound because of his great hair (my mom said he should be one, and Elliott is her favorite so I kinda had to). And Leah is based on the Australian shepard painter named Ivy who is a real dog who makes real paintings. I've already got the other romancables breeds picked out, just have to draw them and choose the other townees.

Everyday that I draw anyone from the Heir o the Empire trilogy, I am once again thankful that there's a comic adaption of the story that I can readily cite for sources on outfits. That's exactly where I found Leia's fit. Since I sadly don't have the comics themselves, I have zero context for it, but oh well, probably nothing earth shattering.

I've decided to make those of Rohan blue heelers. Figured that breed could match well for the horse masters of Rohan. Also, Eomer's armor was unbelievably hard to figure out.

Anyway, it's been fun, I've gotten some ideas for stuff I wanna do with Stardew, but anyway, as an apology, here's my fanart of my favorite little skater boy rocker as the golden retriever he is.

It does definitely becomes more startling when Aragorn suddenly yells "Then I shall die as one of them" when you think of it from the perspective of all the people who had no idea what was being talked about until that point.

Ever since I heard about how Galadriel's crazy uncle asked for her hair to make jewels, which she said no to, but when Gimli makes a similar request, she agrees, giving three times what he asked for... it makes this moment in Fellowship so much funnier. I tried my best with recreating backgrounds, though I kinda had to just make up stuff for Gimli because the camera angles down on him, yes, but not enough to see the ground. Even harder though is the hair accessory that she has, that took some time to understand.

Somehow only now realized I never posted this... oops

In an AU where Denethor lives, this is definitely how he'd react to finding about about Faramir and Eowyn. I ain't going to continue with that au though, because i hate Denethor and don't really wanna draw more of him than I have to, and I especially hate that it took me over an hour just to do his chain mail. They're both the same breed as Boromir. I did really like drawing Faramir though, especially when it came to coloring the fur which was me taking Boromir's colors and making them lighter as a nod to his hair in the movies and how it looks lighter than Boromir in the movies. I also liked drawing the white tree of Gondor a lot. It's also significantly helpful when the outfit I'm drawing has a lot of clearly understandable photos that I can reference.

Per recommendation, I zoned in on Sam and Frodo's faces, especially Frodo so it's easier to see his reaction. But since I worked so needlessly hard on the background, I had to have the wideshot of the two in Emyn Muil. And just wanna be clear, Sam hasn't actually killed Gollum in this case. We all know he wants to. But he hasn't.

I previously drew Numenorians as great Danes, and since Aragorn is Isildur's descendant, that makes him part great dane, so I just made him a little smaller but still big (like if he were standing right next to Legolas and Boromir, he'd be taller), and I chose one of Isildur's colors to be his. Boromir was more difficult because I wanted to choose a breed that was either related to or was a popular crossbreed with great Danes since he's from Gondor. However, I wanted to make sure that there was enough I could play with to easily differentiate Boromir and Faramir as brothers, and also ensure that he looked very different from Aragorn too.

So here's to a happy first introduction of the disciple! He's a wirehaired ibizan hound because they showed up in my Google searches for "Dogs associated with archaeologists" and I just really needed to start drawing because he was the last thing I had to draw.

Yeah, so I completely forgot this over was scheduled to post

So a couple things to note. Firstly is that a lot has been going on, I've been drawing less so I'm gonna be posting less frequently from here on out. Secondly is that I've recently been rewatching MLP, a favorite of mine. It's made me think about how it was my first fandom, the reason why I love drawing animals thanks to trying to draw the mane 6, and was the first show where I really into shipping characters. Thanks, Fluttercord!

So, um, sometimes i find pictures that make me think of specific characters or moments. In this case, I found a picture of a cat holding another cat dramatically like in this picture which made me think of Batman carrying Jason's body out of the rubble. I wouldn't have drawn this if it weren't for that.
