How To Grow The Fuck Up

Some small details for a character learning sword fighting for the first time:

- sore wrists

- blisters on hands

- every movement opens you up to be hit

- they will hit the tops of their arm and own sides with the sword while learning

- there is a primal sixth sense when you know you’re being toyed with

And, for your typically nonviolent characters.

You don’t aim for the swords. You aim for the person holding the sword.

It sounds so obvious but needs to be accepted. Actively. When holding a sword you have to understand you’re attacking another person. Even to block you have to aim your blocks at the other person or they won’t be strong enough to actually protect yourself.

i binged all 3 Sonic movies the other weekend, and I'm absolutely obsessed, so i drew Shadow

final painting in my art class, took about an hour and a half

ART PROGRESS:

greyscale drawing improvement from October 2023 to April 2024 (6 month difference)

while the first drawing is in graphite and the second is with alcohol markers, they are both in greyscale and focus on fantasy subjects. i have more confidence to draw backgrounds in general, and more creative inspiration: the first is based on a stock photo of a person holding a skull, and the second is based on various creatures and scenery from the video game Bloodborne. i pieced it together using my own imagination, only using reference for the actual design of the snakeheads

as for the shading, i have a better understanding of depth, lighting direction, composition (especially background / midground / foreground), scale, and lineart. i took more time and added tons of details and textures, making the piece feel more realistic and natural

vest update

there's a few patches that I've temporarily removed to make room for the blue jay piece i added, but I'll probably reattach those to the back

here's a close up of the blue jay, which i made out of clothing scraps and embroidery thread

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!
