i absolutely adore the way you stylize wolves<333 theyre so simple yet expressive and the coats capture the detail so well- theyre also just so shape and your lineart is so loose and chunky /pos
would you ever do a tutorial or show some wips of your process? especially on how you stylize coats, i love the way you draw them-
if not, thats totally cool ofc!
thank you!!! :-) heres a little breakdown of my process + sort of a tutorial- i dont usually do art tutorials so im sorry if this doesnt make sense!!
a big inspiration for the way i pick colours for coats is actually this post by @/vhsdruid, so go check that out too ^_^
more specifically for wolves, there are a lot of pretty consistent features that most wolves share, like having a black tip on their tails and having countershading, so just knowing about those can make it a lot easier to simplify a coat. wolves also break down pretty easily into 3-4 colours with transitional shades between.
then all you have to do is break down the wolf into big colour blocks ^_^ ! it really doesnt have to be perfect, i mostly just make it up. i also add more colours in between because to me it always comes out looking like a husky when you have such clean distinctions of the pattern, but thats the gist.
that wolf i was using as an example was also the reference for wolf 048's coat! so you can tell how my coat stylization goes from blocks -> in between shades -> final :)
whenever i start a new wolf, i find a reference image i like for posing AND a reference image for a fun coat (like, for wolf 048, these were the reference images).
wolves also have this thing with their fur that makes it look like it has a Ton of variation in a small area which i sometimes stylize with wiggly lines, like this! vv
also, here's a speedpaint of wolf 048, and the sketch + raw lineart!!
im not really sure how helpful all that is, but im always open to answering any questions ppl have abt my art/tips for drawing wolves!! keep in mind im no expert haha (but, maybe by wolf 365, i will be?)

tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse
No, no, no, you see on tiktok an algorithm feeds you misinformation. On Tumblr I feed myself misinformation from my charcuterie board of hand-selected unhinged mutuals.
None of that mass market junk. Only artisanal, small batch, sustainably cultivated, fair trade horseshit.
steps into a big pot of bubbling oil and sits there like its a hot tub and i snile at you so nicely that you step in after me and youre immediately boiled til theres nothing left

date your friends - by which i do not mean you must literally date your friends but by which i mean go out to dinner with your friends, buy your friends flowers, tell your friends you love them, write your friends love letters, play your friends songs that make you think of them, help your friends with moving and doctors appointments and listen to their worries and joys. love one another so entirely and i promise the world will feel so much brighter and you will have a community full of love

How Astarion presents:
Kinky, masochist sadist sex freak, is down for anything or everything, flirtatious smooth talking doesnt care about you or your feelings
What Astarion really is:
Soft, didn’t realize he wants to be hugged, touched tenderly and softly, making love instead of just sex for protection or for the sake of his old master’s orders, constantly needs to be reassured that he is good enough as he is and his value isnt just in his body, hold his hand or he will cry
Halsin presents: big beefy bear of a man, very sweet and wise and pure in the ways of the world, animal loving boi
Halsin’s core: nasty outdoors sex, feral af in his horniness, will absolutely breed the hell out of you in like 26 different positions. you will be sore. two days later he asks if he could use entangle on you in bed.
trans men are handsome and it's fine if you think we're handsome & attractive no matter what we look like. it's good to like men with breasts, men with soft features, men who are curvy, men with big hips & thighs, men with vaginas, men who don't have hairy bodies or faces. it's good to like men no matter what bodies, shapes and sizes we are. as long as you respect that man's boundaries, needs, and privacy, it's not bad to think they look good as they are.
understanding the individual's needs, not forcing compliments on them they don't want, avoiding language that makes them uncomfortable and ultimately showing the person respect in needing to be addressed and viewed certain ways are the keys to appreciating the way a trans person looks without being disrespectful. it's not inherently chaser behavior to like how trans men look. it's a good thing, it's a healing, beautiful, powerful thing. it's t4t love. it's a wonderful thing to love trans men for how we look, no matter what stage of transition we're in, if we choose to transition at all
Gradually getting more bland and cookie cutter
Shoutout to whoever picked a golf to use for this infograph, because it’s probably an intentional reference to the “Harlequin” golf, which as you can see by comparing the modle to the infograph, is unfortunately a relic of the time when colors were winning.

I THINK WE SHOUD ALL JUST BE FUCKING NICE ABOUT PEOPLE'S FEATURES AND BODIES AND HOW THEY PRESENT AND WANT TO BE SEEN!!! if you see someone with any of these features, be nice about it, because these features are gorgeous and the hate that a lot of them get is disgusting and you should feel ashamed for hating on people who are just like you, human.
