#ty again!!!

I was tagged by @leviiackrman to share the inspiration for an oc so I went with Ginger from O/ne P/iece. Thank you! ❤️ this was so fun.

Top Row: Jacqueline Kennedy [for her outfits mainly and her diplomatic mind as she was a major asset to JFK] | Anna Karina [the looks mainly the hairstyle] | Audrey Hepburn [for her compassion and her love of animals since Ginger has domesticated a Humandrill she named Cocomo. It’s basically a giant baboon]

Middle Row: Sharon Tate [for her big beautiful eyes] | Ginger herself I had commissioned by @eluvisen ! | Ella Purnell [her official face claim now and also her silly personality is similar to how Ginger is with people she’s close to]

Bottom Row: Arwen [I had to ask @carrionsflower bc I know fuck all but she’s hot, selfless, and empathetic] Margaery Tyrell [definitely more book!Margaery for how she can appear to be one thing but is quite the opposite basically people underestimating her until it’s too late] Paige Matthews [Ginger is a lot like Paige at times especially with both being products of hidden family histories + using humor as relief + constant search for identity and belonging].

Haha thank you!!!

That’s a very good question, to be fair I find white hair (and anything white/fair/pale in general tbh) to be very tricky to render, in fact it took me a really long time, before dmc darker skin tones and hair colors were actually my comfort zone so it took a lot of trial and error to learn how to paint the Spardas in a way that looked good to me, and if anything I feel like only just recently got the hang of it!!

The biggest thing at least in my experience, is to never deal in absolute colors, no true whites or blacks - white hair usually tends either more beige-ish or blue-ish depending on tone, lighting etc. actually a lot of time the colors I end up picking are a muted beige for the base/shadow color, and a light desaturated pink for the highlight color! For that latest V portrait I did, specifically, I chose a more saturated lilac for the highlights (at least by comparison).

The thing that darker hair and skin have that pale colors don’t is the depth of tones, you can have a very wide range of shades from the darkest to the lightest, so the best way to approach light hair is by applying that same logic and having a wide range from the darkest shadow to the lightest highlight.

sometimes you just wanna see a catgirl hanging out

BLORBO ASKS GAME

I wanna do these ones for my other blorbo Torchbearer :3!

4. what’s the thing you love the most about your Blorbo?

I think it's his loyalty! He's never left Clancy's side no matter what, and is always believing in him and guiding him best he can. He's always there for people he cares about.

12. do you talk to your family or in-real-life friends about your Blorbo?

I DON'T SHUT UP ABOUT MY BLORBO MORE LIKE IT literally just now I was spinning like a ballerine gushing about Torch and Clancy while making breakfast to my partner. My dad knows I adore twenty one pilots but I don't think he knows there's lore. He also doesn't know what a 'blorbo' is so I can't blame him he's like 60.

25. how did you first discover your Blorbo?
