I SHALL REMAIN UNTITLED

In case you were wondering, "Cray-2-the-z" is my rapper name. But you can also just call me Cray… you know.. if you want… no pressure or anything…

Hi hi hi yes yes, very very curious to know how you’re so phenomenal with poses. Especially the dynamic ones?

And like, when you draw a comic or sumn, do you find poses for each panel or??? Please drop your secrets I’m legit struggling and I’m gonna choke myself-

No I find it very tedious to find references for everything when I truly just want to draw I don’t wanna look though 3d models and stuff it’s annoying! So I just learn and study anatomy to the best of my ability! Early on I watched a lot of martial arts videos and well as dancing videos or also maybe helps to look into sports as well it’s very informative to watching the body do something when it’s pushed to it’s like optimum capacity as you’re learning more extreme body poses it’s a lot easier to notice the way the body moves in everyday life as well so you can capture both ends of the spectrum! You must ☝️ watch closely to do not take those peepers for granted

I wish I had the entertaining ADHD that people think people with ADHD have and not the catastrophically fucking bad with deadlines ADHD that makes me scream internally while doing nothing

Revisiting yet another old doodle… instead of… you know… cleaning my apartment…

This time, featuring my old campaign’s gnome artificer, Gen.

(also, original newly concepted art, whoever heard of that?)

Last one, I promise!

Took a nap and exported another one!

it seems this is the universal artist experience and not just me struggling to draw the same curved line for the 5608th time

[cray-2-the-z]

Trying to see if I can add a video here…

I adore watching timelapses and have an awful lot from all the sketches I’ve done recently (plus older ones if anyone is interested) so I’m experimenting to see if these are even something Tumblr will allow me to share

Ok new game. What's the thing you're a fan of that you're the most pretentious about. NOT the most pretentious thing you're a fan of, I mean the thing that makes *you* act like one of those "oh yeah? Name five of their albums" people. There is a difference

[tlirsgender]

Bad news: everyone who has said some variation of "umm actually I don't do that 🙏 I'm a good person" is more annoying than the rest of us confessing to our nerd crimes. Yes you do. I guarantee it you do. You're saying Um, Actually right now

Well damn… @i-am-thornqueen outdid herself with this one…

Guess it’s only fair to turn myself in for my part in these delightfully sinful heinous acts.

Also, as a bonus, I joked that this was the most amount of clothing I had drawn Mari in to date, and dearest ThornQueen feared I was veering toward the straight and narrow. So naturally, I had to reassure her that was simply not the case, and offered as penance my best piece of art I have ever created.

[cray-2-the-z]

…. I’m clearly in one of those moods…

you know, the “wake up at 3 am and might as well revisit an old unfinished doodle for the next 3.5 hours” mood.

“Feel better?” she asked, sweet and soft as the petals of a flower.

“For now.”

Hey @madamorphis look at me! Posting art that is NOT ML related for once!

The results of paying less than 100% attention to last night’s D&D session - a relatively final doodle of my zombie-fighting tiefling blood-hunter, D’Janka Mhulythrii.

She is such a genuine bitch to everyone, and I love her to bits!

[cray-2-the-z]

So, it has been brought to my attention (I’m looking at you @madamorphis) that I do not post art often, and the only time I do, it’s a reaction to fanfiction I’m reading. And it’s not like I don’t doodle and whatnot… just that I don’t finish a lot…

… and I get stuck in my own head quite a bit, never satisfied and too afraid that what I make is not “good enough”. I know I’m not alone in that aspect.

So, I challenged myself to just share some thing s that have been stuck on my ipad for ages. Some of them are just rough concepts, some are unfinished (or barely begun) #DrawThisInYourStyle challenges from Instagram. Some are scribbley doodles that I put 20-30 minutes into every few months. They may or may not ever get finished - who knows?

None are finished and none have felt “enough” to share… hence the challenge.

[cray-2-the-z]

I am sharing this to get out of the following cycle:

1) stare at it

2) frown at it

3) erase a line

4) add another line

5) go back to step one

Ergo, I am letting it go as is.

As usual, a small sacrifice towards @i-am-thornqueen’s efforts to convert us all into future monsterfuckers.

(aka, all their fault)

“Adrien sat up between her legs, shaping his palms around her waist, sliding up until he could hold her around her ribs – thumbs tucked near her breasts, long fingers cradling her from behind.”

@i-am-thornqueen

You.

YOU!!!

THE THINGS YOU DO WITH MY HEART WHEN I READ YOUR ADRIEN AND MARINETTE! UGH! I’d tell you to stop doing this to me, but WE BOTH KNOW I’D BE LYING OUT MY ASS!

Please… be more careful... Yours is an incredible power, and my heart can only take so much…

Okay, but dramatics aside, wow. Honest to Plagg, I haven’t even finished reading the whole dang thing yet. I literally read that one line, then IMMEDIATELY saw in my mind the round line of Adrien’s shaggy head tucked over and around his love’s while Marinette’s back had a sharp angle as she both held and was held by him. And I just… stopped reading and grabbed my ipad, scribbling furiously.

… I should probably try to start giving poor Mari some clothes… she always be nakey. XD

*sigh* Whelp, now I gotta be getting back to the reading… now that my spasmatic episode has worked it’s way out again.

As usual…

all

your

fault.
