i'm just curious bc i'm watching How to Train Your Dragon and i always forget how happy and calm it makes me feel. i mean, i did name my cat after Toothless the dragon. but i also love Lion King, that's my Disney comfort movie. and my Ghibli comfort movie is Spirited Away. watching any of these when i'm in a foul mood or my anxiety is high always helps 🥰 but i watch them just for fun too, not only when i'm in a mood. what about you?

Gourd Trees

Gourd Trees, or Tuttaps are not actually trees at all. They are an evolved form of gourd with a hollow center, surrounding flesh, and hard outer rind. Not all forms are edible but those that are are often staple foods of their region.

Gourd Trees come in as many varieties as there are gourds. They always grow from a smaller gourd and either grow larger or stack to create height. They seem to have developed in the aftermath of spreading Chloromites killing off local trees so the gourds grew taller and replaced the local trees as shelter for birds and other animals. The animals eat and spread the Gourd Tree's seeds.

Vampire Knight Redesign Yuki Cross

I might elaborate on this redesign later since i thought through a lot of little details but mainly I just wanted to post this since I'm pretty proud of it. My take on Yuki Cross from Vampire Knight.

Fun Facts About Jira, my world building project #2

Jira can largely be classified as a Science Fantasy world but because of the scale of the Jira project it's more accurate to categorize the different eras of Jira into different genres. For now they are as follows:

Prehistory - Speculative Biology

Surface era - Medieval Fantasy

Dispace era - Underground Fantasy

Early Island era - Fantasy

Era of science - Steampunk

Modern Era - Modern Contemporary

Cyber era - Scifi 

Post Cyber era - Eco Scifi

Fun Facts About Jira, my world building project #1

Jira is home to many intelligent species other than humans.

to date there are

Silfs - human like creatures with horns and fluffy hair who are always some variant of red & blue

Avians - Bird people

Ramlans - mountain species with tough hairs like wool and horns

Iora - stationary mushroom people

Ghosts - beings made of Artificial Magic

Merpeople - an overall term for a variety of sea born intelligent life

Crystalites - beings of sentient crystal

Halfling Crystalites - corpses controlled by parasitic sentient crystals, unrelated to the crystals of the Crystalites despite the name

Grotton - ape-like creatures who originate from the darkest parts of the Ridge

Hybrids - half animal people the result of wild magic sickness

Shifters - animals who can shift into a semi-human form

Many of these species overlap with humans due to the the grip human traits have on Jiran evolution and the fact that many species are evolved forms of humans for particular environments

Art Improvement <3

I was looking at some old art and found some digital paintings i did a year ago

For comparison these are a couple pieces i did recently

Happy to see I'm improving ❤️

I’m looking for manga recommendations for a YouTube video, I’m making.

If you have any manga recs I’ll be reading 5 chapters of everything recommended.

Old Art Time!

This was the first piece I ever did in fire alpaca. I didn't have a tablet yet, so I was still using a mouse. This was my attempt to see if I could make what i usually did in MS Paint work in Fire Alpaca.

I liked the piece but didn't end up making the switch to fire alpaca until I had a drawing tablet. Partially because it took 3 times as long to draw and really hurt my wrist.

I call him Axetrap lol, this was so much fun to draw.

It really depends. For me its a matter of mood, energy, and what exactly I'm reading.

I have dyslexia so ebooks can be great since i can change the font and size. For some books I have to do that because the paper books font is strange (like hand written looking).

I really love the feel of paper books and they make me happy. but theres no zoom, color changing, font changing, etc. and i can lose them which isn't great.

Comics are nice and easy in either form but sometimes worth physical comics the text is still too small.

I love audio books but i cant do anything else with them on because i'll zone out and miss whats being said and have to rewind.

However, what I'm reading matters too. For instance, I prefer anything that may have triggering content (horror, true crime, etc.) in either ebook or paper form so i can skim and skip sections when i need to.

And sometimes its a matter of energy. Sometimes i'm just too tired to read, in that case I'll listen to an audiobook. Other times I'm over stimulated and need a good paper book to get away from the screens.

This isn't really the question but there's also the matter of availability, i don't have access to as many paper books as I do ebooks so regardless of preference i read a lot more ebooks by default.

Been thinking a lot about reading and getting information from text recently as someone with ADHD so I'm curious

I hate to say reblog to increase sample size but my following is pretty small and I'd like to get actual input on this, so if you wanna toss a reblog after you answer that'd be much appreciated <3

This was the first time I tried to digitally draw a person. I was still using a mouse and Ms Paint at this time. I had just learned the trick to making a certain color transparent when selecting. That's how I made the web like hairband and sleeves. Her name is Rachel.

I wouldn't call her an OC because there was no thought put into her character or story. Honestly the real story she tells is a piece of me coming to the realization I was Lgbtq+. I was very smitten with her.

My girlfriend Ivy just made her first finished piece! I started teaching her to draw a few months ago from nothing and now we’re here, I’m so proud of her!

A nice date during hard times💚

A little doodle I made for my birthday this year 🥳

The Japanese should say happy birthday

Inspired by my gfs guild wars 2 character. I enjoyed photo-bashing the background.

An experiment that once finished my gf dubbed Chadington

How to draw manga books are wild man.

My gfs new character design

Based on a conversation My gf and I had. Also this is her first appearance in the manga.

How the whole making manga thing is going

Ive been taking my art in a more manga / anime inspired direction lately so here I tried a lot of new techniques. This was my first time using screen tone and Action lines in a piece. The Japanese should say “Good Househusband”, I checked everywhere To make sure this was the right way to write it but I’m still learning so it may be incorrect. I’m also not sure if I over used the screen tone but I really like how it looks.

Overall the content of this piece was inspired by me finally taking a stab at cleaning my apartment lol. Sadly it isn’t as clean as the picture would suggest.(or as big 😅)

Reblog if your blog is not a terf safe space

This piece was made in the beginning of 2018 and was my first piece in Fire Alpaca and using my new drawing tablet.

I was big into Villainous at the time and my favorite was Dr. Flug. I was fascinated with what could be under that mask. I didn't use much for creative juices and just gave him a normal human face.

I remember really wanting dramatic lighting and dark shadows but I couldn't figure out how especially seeing as Fire Alpaca didn't have a straight up bleeding brush. sense the scribbling. I was unhappy with this at the time but it was an important start. it was also just during a drawing slump so there was only so good I could feel about it.

Forgive the watermark this is from my old deviant art.

This was one of my first pieces of digital art. It was made in ms paint and drawn with a mouse. I had been drawing ponies traditionally for a few years at this point. This was the first piece where Mare's design really stuck. this was their cannon design for quite a while. However I recently completely redesigned them.

Forgive the watermark this is from my old deviant art.

I was a huge Ink Potts fan. Their Count of Monte Cristo animatics in particular were very inspiring to me. The pony to the left is Mare my ponysona and to the right is my ex's character. I drew our ponysonas a lot.

I still love this one honestly I've always been very proud of it. I've been thinking of redrawing it with Mare's updated design and my new partners pony.
