Discord Stuff~!

If I opened a soli & art discord in my attempts to boot myself into being more actively social after falling into this social slump (must. climb. out...!!) , would people be interested in that? I created a server for this very purpose a while ago, but never opened it to the public and then fell into this slump shortly after. But maybe I need to hard boot myself out of it

Be nice to your fellow tumblr who reblogs all the awesome stuff

Or creates awesome art

Or writes that fic you love

Even if you’re shy

Because I guarantee they’ll love the something nice you have to say. You don’t have to try to be their friend, they don’t have to respond. But it goes appreciated.

For every one person who puts themself out there and chooses to be brave and make a little tag or send an ask or a comment with actually nice things, five other people will wake up and choose to be an asshole (on probably their own and their five+ alt accounts)

Some of them will dedicate a ridiculous amount of time and effort just to be an asshole. Some of them will sandwich their assholery with compliments so people feel uncomfortable but don’t feel they can say anything about it. Stuff like “I really love your stuff but why can’t you draw what I want you to draw instead of x?” Or use your posts as a vehicle to start arguments and spread negativity.

So it’s down to the rest of us to drown it out.

There is no need to be an asshole. Be nice to someone today ✨

I’m gonna go spread some love because loads of people deserve to hear some and I don’t have enough hours in the day

The current back-end of this chapter has had fewer spreads/double updates than I'd prefer (as for the pages that have gone up, all singles lol) , especially given that some of these were originally paced out as a double-update spread, but ultimately cut into single updates due to health/buffer reasons But there's a scene that I absolutely want to go up as not just a double, but triple page update for pacing reasons. S I G H either three pages uploaded as a spread, or three single pages uploaded back to back over the course of the week. Not sure Well, good for readers! lucky you! when the time comes you'll get quite an update either that day or that week!

Hello

bleaksqueak

has Audric ever found Willow on Elias's person when they were at school and had to send her to the principal's office for law breaking ?

Solivaga Tarot - ✦ STRENGTH ✦ After a lot of thought, there was no better card that most represents our noble Reaper.

#oh audric's going around again today... sure i'll bump him #god I GOTTA DO LYRA'S CARD #everyone VOTED ON LYRA AND I HAVEN't DELIVERED LYRA #she doesn't even have her own chapter cover!!#I've literalyl never had a chance to just do a full illustration of her! only the comic pages and designs #well... ok there is the halloween 2022 pic #but that's the WHOLE FAMBLY not just HER #the WORLD'S Gneissest mom!

WIPs from recent pages ~! I’ve got some extra goodies from the recent pages (clean, full resolution pngs of chibi maia & elias for fun to use as icons or chat stickers) that will go up on the patreon later)

#pu art #solivaga #art #sketches #art process #artists on tumblr #wips #procreate #digital art #i enjoy posting wips i just hate that in modern day posting wips is more necessary than not to combat any genai bullshit accusations #or assumptions #doing art passionately for 30 years only to have to prove it despite having an online art paper trail of decades lol #never was on my bingo card #my jonker origin story #also here’s the difference overlays i use to get the final colors #those layers + the grain texture make the art look way more polished and blended than it is #canon skin tones is the final post #the base colors i use were chosen for the final result and are not accurate representations eli's not that pale lol #but since the difference layers create a smoother unity i don’t just color in the final colors since I'm using diff to achieve the final #i should break down how i do things sometime #since my comic page methods let you have a much more rendered look without the actual time spent rendering #the only super clean part is whatever the focal point is #so usually whatever is currently acting #face or hands or a clear silhouette gesture #the rest is often lineless concept art style color blocking for efficiency #though I should clarify the page I'm showing here has a color filter layer #most don't #this page came out so over saturated somehow and i'm still not quite sure HOW #pretty sure it was just a visual effect of the dark-to-color ratio in values #but it was so much I had to desat it a little and chose to use a cool tinted color layer to do that with so it wouldn't wreck my tones

At least it's a respite away from the horrors. I think

#new week bump before the update~

Since he’s shown up just enough, I want you to know that Mr. ReaperMan’s loci has a small hidden detail on it.

And that’s that he signed his initials on its bottom cap. Personal sigil included.

And that it indeed does glow when the catalyst is active within it.

Working on some prop design as a fun friday start up

This is probably still my favorite Loci design, and I guess the cat is out of the bag for who it belongs to. Catalyst is housed in the lantern but can be channeled through both parts even when separated.
