He’s a smooth operator…one of these days I’ll end one of these with some semblance of reverence but until then enjoy the chaos lol. Aquarium date part 2 coming soonish, it’s 15 panels so it will take a little bit!

Howdy ho! I'm very excited to finally be able to share this illustration I worked on as part of this year's @bumblebybigbang for @tahnex's lovely and super fun fic (with no pain attached whatsoever), "Of Dragons and Panthers," which you can read here! As soon as I read the original notes on it this scene captured me so much I had to do something dramatic for it. It's been such a pleasure watching the whole collab come together, tysm for having me!
First time joining an event like this, and I'd love to again if the opportunity comes around hehe. Still a few postings to go on this one, the pieces before us this year have knocked it out of the park and I'm super excited to see the rest once they come around!
Made a few process cuts just for fun, which I left under the cut!
I did do a few sketches roughly before I started out, especially based on other parts of the chapter, but this particular composition was so fixed in my mind that I ended up just sticking with it. In retrospect, I would've loved to go back and do some more thorough exploration for it. Here are a few of the sketches I managed to fish back up:
I also was thinking of trying a few other doodles/another big piece, but ended up not really having the time between other obligations :')
And the sketch I finally settled on:
Inking was SUCH a fun process on this piece in particular. I'm a huge fan of how dragon!Yang's mane turned out, especially, and all the detailing on the head and around Blake's fur and such. Feel like I'm really satisfied w the particular way the line weight variations came out, and it's where the piece shines the most imo.
Panther!Blake, too. Oh gosh. I feel like it took me a lot of reworking to get her structure to a point where she felt very leopard-like, rather than any other type of big cat- especially around the head.
Colours were such a challenging part. There was a big feeling I had for that glow coming off dragon!Yang in the middle of the heavy rain- I love seeing that sort of effect in real life so that's something I'm really hoping to work to capture better as I practice. Trying to get dragon!Yang's slight iridescence in there and to balance out the lighting on panther!Blake's fur each took a long time, too- I'm only a pinch sad that a good chunk of it is covered by other lighting effects XD
Blake's rosettes were SO fun. Augguhugg.
In terms of backgrounds. HOO boy I was going through a strange patch in life while working on the background and final polish for this piece, which is why (at least I feel like) it looks kinda rushed. I have been practicing natural landscapes and doing some observational studies but still struggling to get those rock shapes quite right, which I think is a big make or break point of something like this. I did really enjoy toying around with inking on the foliage and foreground layers of the ground, though! And in the end, lighting and effects ended up masking a lot of the big weak spots :D
I think natural effects like smoke/steam, and rain, are big things that I got to practice more of in this piece, but also really would like to get better at in future. Esp since I feel like it's been a great opportunity to mess around with different colours and brushes that I use way less, which I'm always grateful for w painting. I think just layering the rain on its own ended up being about 10 odd layers?
I think the only other thing I would have loved to improve is to just help the piece feel more Bumbleby™ in the final look. I think I like the cool colours of the lighting for this particular outcome, but I also would have probably tried to have made things much clearer (ahem at the very least switch to yellow/purple) in the long run in terms of representation and resemblance. Ik that at least for me it is fairly easy to associate the two characters with dragons and panthers since I'm more familiar w the fandom lingo around these two, but esp for outsiders I feel like it's probably not great at conveying who they are, and why they are potentially in this situation.
I'd also love to try and find a shading style that still has a painterly quality but compliments the inking a bit better, rather than overpowering it.
I think that, on the whole, I am pretty satisfied with the piece and had a great time working with Tahnex on the whole collab! And I've also has a fun time reading his work and notes in return, and thank you so much for being so so patient with me even as my updates were slow n rocky at points :'D
That's about all I got, have a great day y'all! Still a few big bang postings to go, so very excited for those once they come around!
"It's been years since Blake has been free from abusive ex, but wanting to makeup for lost time only resulted in her overworking herself until exhaustion, culminating in her collapsing at work.
Forced onto sick leave, Blake struggles to relax and find something to make her time productive. When Yang, the Goddess of the Sun, falls from the stars, Blake finds herself intermingled with millennia old grudges and a budding romance that she was sure she'd never experience again."
Hey y'all!! I'm excited to finally share what I've been working on for these past 2 months!!! This has been experience and iI'm pretty happy with what Turnip and I have been able to come up with!
Speaking of, thank you Turnip for being such a lovely partner these couple of months! I apologize for the lack of communication concerning my progress and am forever grateful of the trust you had in me getting my stuff done! Literally thank you for not giving up on me when I decided to restart 2 months away from posting (by then we didn't even know our posting dates so I got extremely lucky with the extra time 😭😭🙏)
Also a thank you for the mods at @bumblebybigbang! There were a bunch of people sho joined this year and I can't imagine what things look like behind the curtain.
Now! I have some extras which include some visual concepts and a little doodle of a scene from chapter 2! :D
Watching Turnip bring this fic to life was an honor, and I hope y'all enjoy the fruits of her labor! :DDD
Have fun! *Dissapears into thin air* ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ ᕦ( ᐕ )ᕡ

Tis the day! Here is my piece for this year's @bumblebybigbang. I had the absolute pleasure of working with @bazaarwords. I could not have asked for a better partner! She wrote such a fun, hilarious, feel good college AU for the bees that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing come to life over the past few months. (Honestly I don't think I read any part of this without laughing or giggling like a schoolgirl) Please go check out her fic, Unbecoming. You definitely won't regret it!
This was my first fandom big bang and I'm so glad I joined, made new friends, became more active with the RWBY fandom, and learned (& hopefully progressed) a lot as an artist.
I had a blast crafting this comic snippet scene from @giraffeseattrees's story, When You Say My Name (I Can Only Feed You Lies)! It was wonderful collaborating with her and I cannot recommend this fic enough :)
I'm truly so grateful for this experience, thanks to everyone who made it possible and of course to my lovely writer!!!

My writer @deco-inks made an awesome fic that you can check out here and my other artist buddy @whisperingdrawings's art here! Both of them worked real hard and made some good stuff that I hope you love too!
Also, here's a little something extra :D
It was a struggle...
I had the amazing opportunity of working with @smolpancakes and @deco_inks (on Twitter) for this @bumblebybigbang event! You can check out smolpankakes posts here and you can read Deco’s fic here! Go check them out! Was fun working on this project with them😊✨
