hi everyone. does anybody else miss something they can never return to. anyone else being swallowed whole by grief. anyone else clinging to love as a life preserver

god it's like nobody even cares that [problem i've taken great pains to make sure nobody will acknowledge] looks like i have no choice but to make it worse in isolation for reasons i can't articulate and don't understand

The forest falls eerily silent. The air smells of humus, and dead grass, and ozone. You see a hole in the air that is shaped like an animal. The edge of the hole crackles like television static.

Explaining the primordial trinity for my winx rewrite

(The circles are what it looked like when they first came into existence)

Here’s what the space looks like during the winx time 👇

Before their was nothing..just a empty void and endless space until..

a small spark ignited giving birth to the great dragon…and on to the opposite end a small droplet gave birth to the grand leviathan the two opposing forces fought over the endless space of the void for control over it..but suddenly the void birthed a entirely new negative force the shadow Phoenix…with is control over the voids darkness it threatened to destroy both of the powerful forces

The two great beings put aside their differences and united against the common enemy..with their primal magics they banished the shadow Phoenix to a far Conner of the void

And splitting their space evenly they parted ways but left each other gifts to symbolize their truce

The great dragon giving the grand leviathan the pillars

And the leviathan giving the dragon the hydro stars.

With their respective gifts they both went on to create their own dimension using the voids space never intersecting again

As for the shadow Phoenix in it’s dark Conner it twisted the void around it it’s dark flames altered it in a way it created it’s own lifeless dimension..what’s known today as the obsidian circle

Hello! I've rewritten this ask like five times so I'll just come out and say, you're one of my favorite artists, thank you for all the good stuff you put out, it's inspiring <3 I wanted to ask, what's your method of studying anatomy and expressions?

Thank you! <3 Ngl the last time I studied anatomy with effort, I was a kid in high-school. The only book I had on the subject was the Anatomy for the Artist from Jeno Barcsay. It was huge and detailed, literally muscle and bone deep, but I think my brain is wired more for the feel of things than the understanding 😅

I try to find nude or mostly nude pics for anatomy stuff. Adult photo sites rule as a source, people contort their bodies in all sorts of weird ways and I can usually find someone with the build I'm looking for.

When I sketch based on a ref, I try to pay attention to the silhouette, negative spaces and alignments. They help me correct mistakes.

And obviously I love to exaggarate things. (Evident on the waistline and pulled up leg here.)

Same with expressions, I guess. I try to push them but stay within the realm of believable. It's so easy to make a face look uncanny or creepy or w/e with a smile too wide. I have had a couple commissioners ask me before to tone down the initial expressions on their characters, and I think that was a nice reminder to pull me back to reality lol It can get especially weird with long narrow faces like Buttons'. I find it a bit tricky to make him have a large open smile while fitting it all on his head.

queen/sorceress Merlin based on the face studies I have. This would be way far in the future, maybe years after a magic reveal. probably not her typical everyday look but maybe for something fancy?

Third of 8 sketch animation commissions. The Kirin character belongs to Khan. I tried to took commissions with characters that are radically different from each other. Love animating ferals and humanoids both.

okay but saying “i wish i had known you sooner” — like the love in my heart is growing so big and fast for you that i wish i had the opportunity to have you way earlier by my side, because i want to love you longer than i can do now. my love for you reaches my past and makes a place for you.
