sorry about the earlier posts,, I think it's noticeable by now that I get

Depressed alternately in weeks. it's kind of easy to fall into a sort of habit around it....but Im more clear headed now...ill try not to do that, alright. I can't always succeed but I can succeed sometimes.

anyway here

[ Id: A photo. Its original art in traditional medium that is paper and pencil. It is of concept art for my character Tamizhselvan of he/she pronouns.

This one is based on the combined shape of a vertical rectangle inside a circles confines.

Tamizh looks out from behind a wall she has one hand out on, and grins very wide, the pink hearts near her also making her appear full of affection. Tamizh has a long rectangular face here. His big eyes are more apart from the thinner bridged nose. Eyes still have little eyeliner, prominent lashes, dark circles and thin brows. Her grin shows large front teeth and mildly sized lips. There's hyperpigmentation around some spots of his face like the mouth. A little acne is scattered over cheeks, forehead and neck. He has long, big ears.

His hair is curly and parted at the middle neatly, tied in braids looking like fluffed or "cloudy" inverted hearts. The braids are quite long and fan to either side of his rectangular face giving a circular frame like the reference shape. The top ribbons are tied like rotund red blooming flowers and colored as such.

Her scholars suit-jacket and tie are noted to be oversized clothes. The sleeves of it cover his hands bottom. other notes say the hair direction should go be going down, poofing. The tips of the suit-jackets shoulders should slightly point up. It's questioned whether the puffy ending part of the braid needs some sort of attachment to hold it, but for now I have drawn it tied with itself. End ID]

Ohhh It makes me happy to look at him...

Anyway this iteration took a particular amount of time. I think I messed up two times. It came out looking great finally though.

Now for the final design I need to decide if I'm keeping one of all the designs exactly as is or ,make some kind of fusion with the traits I want/like.

[ ID: A photo. Original traditional art in uncoloured pencil of my OC Tamizhselvan.

This third concept art design is based off of a square. I note it to be pointier. Tamizh looks to the side in a sinister manner, brows furrowed and smiling. Tamizh's face is squared and tapers to a smaller blocky chin. Overall it's a strong looking shape. Lips are more mediumly sized. His nose is round with a nose ring that looks like a little flower. Acne in shaded parts dots his face but especially on cheeks. Her eyes have a large iris with almost pinprick pupils. They still have prominent lashes, little eyeliner and dark circles. The brows are thicker at the outer end. Her straight hair is combed close and parted with the left part pushed up for style. Rest is tied in long braids in an inverted-heart shape tied off by wrapped long ribbons that droop. The hair at the end curls slightly. Her ears are round and squat with heart earrings that are in two parts of each other.

The neck is slightly long and ends in a shirt collar and big tie in a suit-jacket. The shape of her shoulders is quite broad.

Notes for this one have a crossed out 'Beauty mark' in favor of an added nose ring. Questions ask whether the eyes should be brown or greyish. End ID]

Yeah this one looks so fucking cool.

Another thing...hmmm....

Also I have to say that's a scholars suit-jacket and not like. A Suit Jacket

Like. Highschool. LOL.

My thought process is below the ID.

[ ID: A photo. It's original traditional art done in uncolored pencil only of my OC Tamizhselvan of He/she pronouns. It's labelled in the corner as "sketches prelim".

The first is based on a circle shape. First concept art Tamizh's head is perfectly round. She smiles and stares. Her eyebrows are thin and wrap around large mildly bloodshot eyes framed by slight eyeshadow, visible lashes and dark circles. She wears off-centered glasses with a beaded specs string to balance them. His straight hair is combed close except for a part thats pushed up at the right for style. Rest is all in long braids in inverted-heart shape tied with small drooping ribbon. He has a large round nose and thick lips. Her neck is very long and the sketch closes off with her shirt collar.

The second is based on a inverted triangle shape. It's noted to be more angled. Tamizh grins conceitedly, arching her brows. The bottom of his face reflects the triangle shape, a wide grin stretching it out. Bottom lip is bigger than the top. The sides of his cheeks are dotted with acne and associated scars. There's some on forehead too. But a beauty mark on his aquiline nose. The eyes appear lighter here or more energetic. They still are bloodshot and have prominent lashes, dark circles, eyeliner. Glasses with specs string are still offcentered. The eyebrows are dramatically arched. Her ears have a rounder and squat shape with two parts of a heart earring on either ear. Stylized big curly hair is combed in two sections and tied up in braids that look like inverted hearts. One left side is still pushed in for style. Whole of the hair is noted to be in a wavy motion for drawing. The ribbon this time is bigger and in a butterfly-like shape. Notes beside it question whether they should be black, red or white. The long neck leads to a shirt collar finishing the sketch. Text on top notes the addition of acne, beauty mark to this concept. End ID]

It was really hard starting these at all. I was stuck for weeks and weeks. But I discovered I still had the ability to design when I pushed myself to do it. Each was based on a shape. I still haven't worked out the final design but you know, it was fun.

Sorry to all toppers seeing this OC, I know he doesn't look very sensitivity-read but this is what you guys look like to me /j

Well I think one of the main reasons I started a blog at all was for my art. So I shouldn't be so hesitant.

Faiza fashion:

[ ID: photos of Indian clothes that are dresses. They are long and flowing and covering. They have designs on them but they're relatively simpler ones. End ID]

[ ID: photo of the same half hand tee shirt but seperate ones are in different colors, the colors are the only difference. End ID]

For formals she'll do kind of more fancy but conservative type dress, with a rare instance of wearing a hijab since her mom insists. And you know, it looks good too. :P (silly tongue out emote )

Tamizh fashion::

[ ID: photo of a rose pink tee shirt that says Girlboss in all caps. The lettering is set against a pale pink rectangle design. End ID]

[ ID: A photo of stacks of folded clothes in a display setting. They're all colorful and bubbly graphic tee shirts. Some have written stuff on them like " Flower Power" and "Fruit". End ID]

Emily crept quietly down George's hallway, trying to make as little noise as possible as she made her way closer to his door.  Keeping the laugh from bubbling out of her was the hardest part about keeping quiet.  She'd never said go, had never intended upon saying go, and was really hoping that she could make it from his doorway to his bed in two seconds flat, or her whole "fucking amazing" point would be shot.  As it was, his hallway wasn't the most familiar to her, and she found herself bumping into things as she proceeded, finally giving up, outright giggling as she somehow found the door jam to his bathroom in the dark.

The London air was cold, and it still managed to creep into the house.  Emily wrapped her arms around herself as she continued her journey down the hallway.  It didn't help that her pajamas consisted of shorts and a tank top, which would usually suffice, if it wasn't freezing.  As an LA girl, she wasn't used to the freezing cold temperatures, and it had felt like forever since she'd truly been warm.  It had been two weeks since she'd seen her cozy home in Los Angeles, and it felt like a lifetime.  Before she'd taken the flight to London, she'd been more than a little homesick, missing her dog, her family, even her turtle.  Somehow, despite the cold, being with George seemed to take some of that away.
