So I recently learned about a drawing program called Krita and holy shit I'm in love. Did a self-portrait with it. :D
step one: sketch out a porny pic very roughly (post does not contain any porn), just positioning bodies and limbs and heads step two: sketch rough lines of where the gills would be step three: draw outlines of gills neatly instead step four: spend three hours drawing and colouring gills step five: I'd say oops but I really like them so, not-oops.
GEMSONA TIME. Spoiler: Tektite! (description crossposted from my Tumblr) I accidentally a gemsona oops. I dunno if tektite is technically a gem per se (it’s basically space glass) but whatever. She’s a communications worker, specifically working on the technical side of things–she probably works in the same general field as Peridot, and likely holds a similar rank. Different specialty though. She basically has Gem Autism and her special interest is anything relating to sound and text, so she’s pretty damn good at her job. However, she’s considered defective as a result (kind of along the lines of Pearl, perhaps), so she’ll probably hit a glass ceiling of sorts eventually because why would the Diamond Authority want a ~*defective Gem*~ working in their highest ranks?? She’s not quite aware of that though, since she’s too absorbed in her work to notice when other Gems are…well, communicating with her. OH THE IRONY. (That and she sucks at picking up nuance but yeah.) Dunno what her weapon is yet, but I think she’d probably be kinda useless in combat and generally more suited to stuff on the sidelines. And she’s generally quite cheerful–so long as you let her do her thing with her communications work, she’s content.
@Acey if a pearl can be a crystal gem, I don't see why space glass can't be a regular gem! I love her face, she looks really cute.
Aww, thank you! :D #also #i'm pretty sure she straight up doesn't give a shit about what homeworld's plans are #they're not relevant to her work so she's all "okay yeah cool whatever now pls leave me alone"
I... probably didn't quite finish a thing but it's about as done as I can get it so we'll call it finished. I'm kind of glad to call it finished. It's a relief to call it finished. Anyway, here's that tarot card I was talking about the other day (heavy handed imagery ahoy, I guess lol) Spoiler: it's pretty huge so I shoved it behind a cut sorry
do you ever get overemotional about your own story because I do Spoiler: i like starry shit and i cannot lie let the starlight be your rebirth.
i took some very short and vague alien prompts and now there are aliens Spoiler: 'ladies with tentacle hair', 'upside down face'
I've been going back to sketching from life, and I'm very pleased with it. So far my favourite sketch was one I made yesterday in our hotel's garden: Spoiler: Lush nature
Been drawing a lot lately... Spoiler: hell yes Connie. This was supposed to be a warmup doodle but I got a little carried away. :P A smol Aradia. More palette meme stuff, all for Kintsugijin! (In order: Aradia for @lvkz, Furret for @ADigitalMagician, and an octopus for @Starcrossedsky. c: ) Finally, a WIP of my design for the HS design context.
ive been working on this huge ridiculous (nude & four armed, whoops) illustration/painting type thing of kanaya but ive put it on hold for a bit because a) camp nanowrimo!! that novel aint gonna write itself and b) im preeeeetty sure the canvas is too big for my computer to handle, whenever i save the file there's this nerve-wracking moment of "well paint tool sai seems to be on the verge of crashing, nice" will it ever be finished? [it is a mystery ghost] so yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Spoiler: sfw face closeup Spoiler: warning for boobage
