Stressed Out Chilled Out

new icon, experimenting with style and texture and magic ✨✨✨

A snapchatted insight into my mental and emotional process as I work, aided by convenient floating books

Okay! 

Here is Peach doing her very best rectangle. 

make that fuckin beauty and the beast au with your otp

draw your favorite character broken and bloody for no reason

make a self-insert that’s super important and powerful

write porn of that obscure ship centered entirely around your personal kinks

headcanon your faves as your sexuality, gender, etc

have fun man

i mean in the past i’ve made fun of all these things but i’ve grown up and chilled out and honestly? fiction is your platform to go nuts. have a great time. do what you want to

just respect other people’s boundaries and don’t go forcing your headcanons down other people’s throats, because they deserve to have a good time too

Spent an evening or two skitching up some references for Poppy and Alec, though it was honestly just an excuse to draw this, based on a drabble;

(Poppy in Alec’s clothes) Some of this was a struggle, i had to learn how to draw dude legs and,, other anatomy,,

There’s a lil bit of a story to my SO’s valentines day card this year,,,sorry for posting essentially the same picture 5 times but I like both versions ehee

Triss is the love of my life, Ryan is the love of my life, so this only made sense dammit!

Jess took a breath and walked a little closer to the bank. “Hello?” she called. “Is anyone there?”

Fabian’s steps were a lot more confident than Michael’s, but he followed him and Jess anyway. He really wasn’t sure what to expect.

There was a commotion inside the building, a clanking of metal and the scraping of chairs and stools. No-one came out of the building, but a voice travelled from the doorway. “Depends. Who’s there?”

Having a go at storyboards based on prose by myself and my friend Michael (as in, they wrote the italics bit up there c; )! Gotta get more practice at all kinds of sequential stuff,,

My characters (in the foreground!) are Alec and ,,, ,well ,, Jess (or Iris, for actual story context) and those in the background are Michael’s characters, Michael and Fabian!!

practice practice practice!!

My Game Grumps Animated went up aa!! Animated by me, with beautiful backgrounds by @terriblebeastie  !!!

Here are the original character designs, as well as some of my favourite frames!

I hope you liked it if u saw it!!!

hey look its more poppy and alec sketches, of wildly varying quality,,

the latter to accompany a piece of writing where I was testing tone, pacing and readability of character interaction, it was really fun!!

the anatomy’s a little lost in the detail of that last one, so here’s some WIP screenshots so u can see whats goin on under all them clothes;

I’ve been asked many times what someone should look for when trying to find a good artist. The best way you can do this is to look at their portfolio, whether it’s in a book at their shop or online. If they don’t have good work in their portfolio, they’re probably not good artists.

The shop may be clean, the people there might be nice, and the design they draw up for you might be exactly what you want, but if your artist doesn’t stand up to the points listed above, then you’re going to get a bad tattoo.

peaky blinders inspired fashion choices, mostly drawn for practice but also because my friend Michael told me not to :3c 

Some excerpts from various conversations about it;

Michael of 1920s - ur. the wo r st Michael of 1920s - relaly nice art Michael of 1920s - but get out of my ho  use ✨Jeralt of Rivia✨ - is there a problem officer Michael of 1920s - M ANY PORBLEM
