Gold for the bride? Say less.

Shout-out to my friend who saw me go through the stages of grief throughout the making of this drawing. I wanted to finish this before June (got stuck with the vows), finished yesterday but had a lingering doubt about the groom attire during weddings AND TURNS OUT MEN WEAR A BLACK CEREMONIAL GEAR WITH GOLDEN RUNES. Originally, I thought "Gold is for weddings" not "Gold for the bride." So I had made a golden jacket and made him wear gold as well but had to spend most of the day recoloring it because I am insane. 😃

And truth to be told, if their wedding happens in TWP, I will only read that part. 👏🏻I👏🏻DEMAND👏🏻THEIR👏🏻WEDDING👏🏻I need it.

Also, there are little to no fanarts of weddings. And most of them the men are in simple black suits, which is fine for a groom... But when the bride is IZZY LIGHTWOOD?! And the brother-in-law is THE MAGNUS BANE?! Yeah, no. He needs to look just as fine as her. I just wanted to go all out for her. Now I can go back and rest because this drawing took all of my will to live with all the details. 🥹

This was the last fanart I officially finished and posted on my Instagram. Since then I was hit with an art block. Sizzy sucked the life out of me lol.

Kai is growing on me and I decided to draw him.

And I think I kicked myself in the foot because now I like him more than before. 💀

I tried "fixing" whatever they did with the angle of his face and to make him look a bit more his age. Since he doesn't look 29 in the game at all, I gave him a few aging and smile lines, because I'm not really sure FB does them for whatever reason or at least not that detailed if they're not from BB.

Even if Kai may have some amazing genetics (he prob does), he looks like the type to be very expressive, so it's normal for him to have some lines. Hell, Trent and Noah would have them too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

But I did change very small things. I used a model as reference that I thought may have looked a little more like him, so I gave him a different nose and without realizing I tanned him more than necessary (that's probably how he'd realistically look by the end of the season anyway lol). I don't color pick the colors from the pictures, I tried to guess.

But yeah... I think I made myself fall in love with this man 🫠 he was supposed to be my placeholder until casa and shield from Rui. I'm going to have a hard time in the future unless they ruin him too.

And now to post on IG and get 0 likes. 👍🏻

Guess who just spent 5 hours reposting everything back to Instagram? 😀

Had to change the username and everything. After I deleted the old account someone took the username, so... Yeah. 💀 Fun. I'll have to change username and signature to avoid misunderstandings.

[aceofjestersart]

It has been 84 years...

And I have finally finished this thing. When I literally started it a year ago. 😬

I wanted to attempt to get a more paint effect on my drawings and it took about a year and 20 brushes later. 🫠 But I'm slowly trying to get my groove back, and I want to slowly expand and try other fandoms.

I might need to finish those Sebastian and Ominis portraits I never finished either...

[aceofjestersart]

That moment in City of Glass when Jace found out him and Clary aren't actually related and he didn't have demonic blood. Meanwhile Alec is *still* in the closet and in a secret relationship with his (very fashionable) warlock boyfriend.

It had to be done. I'm not sorry, I still laugh about this to this day.

[aceofjestersart]

I was scrolling down to see how my style has progressed. Man, I had such a good fucking sense of humor. 💀 I'm here crying and laughing at my bs when I was just trying to see if I added any runes on Will's neck for the portrait I'm doing.

[aceofjestersart]

After 3 or 4 redraws I've decided to leave her like this 💀 I'm sorry Tessa, but I'm getting so sick of you.

Do you see the difference? 😭 The miniature was for reference from the other drawing I was doing before I abandoned it (the overthinking hit me again when I saw the anatomy). So I wanted to do another portrait close up before I go ahead and redraw that one.

But OMG 💀 I changed the coloring so many times bc I don't even remember how I picked the base for the skin tone, but she came out like one or two shades darker than Will and the eyes were freaking me out, she looked like that picture of Miley Cyrus. You know the one.

And yes, I never did the full body drawing of her with the accurate historical dress. But I DID have the sketch, I just never finished it because the dresses were a nightmare which, in hindsight, is kind of ridiculous considering they were LESS complicated than Jessamine's. But I was basing it off the book cover and the other one was the wedding dress.

Anyways 😀 let's see how Jem is going to piss me off now because I've had to change his coloring too. I wanted to get the sickness JUST right. But SOMEHOW Will was the only one that came out right on the first try. It's probably my best drawing of him now (always pissing me off).

[aceofjestersart]

I think I might start slowly drawing again (that Sizzy fanart sucked everything out of me, but it was worth it). But now I'm pondering if I should post on Instagram again. I made a Twitter account to not clutter my timeline here so much. 🫩

Anyways, I'll try to finish the Herongreystairs drawings I wanted to do, though I'll probably have to redraw one of them since my style kind of changed... Again. And later I want to start drawing other things from other fandoms. Mostly Stranger Things since I'm kind of writing a fanfic for the first time in five years. 😬 So yeah, that's all. 🤘🏻

[aceofjestersart]

wip of one of the many drawings I start and can't finish 🥲 I'm trying to trust the process even though I'm following it blindly while I'm trying to change my coloring style.

Though it's mostly for myself and for the fanfic I'm writing with an OC 🤡 So... Yeah.

I've never drawn Jo Keery or Steve at all and I'm kind of terrified of messing it up. I'm already nervous to move on to my OC, idek how I did him.

[aceofjestersart]

Your art gives me the happies, and you deserve a cupcake. 🧁 (it can be whatever flavor or frosting you want)

Answering this super late but I truly appreciate this.

I have been in an art block for probably the longest time ever and just when I was going to slowly get out, I got a new job and I haven't had the time nor energy to get drawing until today.

I was honestly thinking about working on Jonathan Shadowhunter, his sister Abigail, and David the Silent just because one day I woke up with the idea. But I haven't been able to finish the sketches and just today wanted to work on an OC.

But hopefully I can finish that. It was either that or finish the period accurate dresses for Tessa that I never finished but whenever I open the drawing the laziness comes back instantly. Thinking about having to look for a dress she'd wear and draw it gives me a headache lol. It's not Tessa's fault, it's the dresses.

Idk why every time I have all the time in the world I get an art block and whenever I'm completely busy and tired my inspiration flows back in. It's happened more than once lol.

But again, thank you and everyone for the support. It's really good after moving from Instagram to here.🤍

[aceofjestersart]

This should be considered a jumpscare

I'm trying to do some research and study of THE Jonathan Shadowhunter and I forgot they give the name Jonathan away like candy and I had to specify which one I was looking for on the search bar.

It's kind of hard to look for fanarts of certain characters. IMPORTANT characters in the plot, but somehow they have less fanarts than I have emotional stability.

Thank you, Cassandra Jean (we all say in unison).

This is why you can't show me anything I can potentially use to make fun of the Herondale men

Because then I do things like this.

(June 15, 2022)

I saw this one in my gallery and it was from my stories in Instagram.

[aceofjestersart]

Your art is literally amazing like if I could I would personally make sure each piece has approximately a billion notes

I appreciate that 🤍

Switching from Instagram back to Tumblr is a little tedious. But I'm glad that the memes and fanarts are quickly getting attention. Especially now that I'm in a really ugly art block, it's really reassuring.

[aceofjestersart]

You guys want to see another unfinished fan art I have to redo? BOOM

I stopped because I realized the proportions of the face were wrong AND I need to change the color for the lighting. And also because I wanted him to look more sick and I couldn't do it properly.

So it's been sitting unfinished for under a year. 😐 Art block is funny like that. It was at the same time I was doing that Sizzy wedding fanart, I burned out so fast but at least they're slaying in gold. ☠️

[aceofjestersart]

Not a fanart, but here's an attempt I made of Jem a while ago in the Sims

I remember I was bored and I just had the sudden idea to make Jem both victorian and dilf—sorry, healed mortal version.

I love him in every era. I never played with him. I don't even remember if I still have the sim in my gallery to be honest.

This game is probably the easiest way of making references lmao. I made Simon in the Sims 3 as well hahaha.

Ragnor has a few to spare if you don't mind them in green.

[aceofjestersart]

I DON'T THINK I EVER POSTED THIS ONE HAHAHA IT'S BEEN YEARS

I'm looking through my Instagram account but it's not there. I'm actually shocked I don't remember if I never posted it lmao. It's been sitting in my gallery for YEARS.

Well, there you go, another meme.
