hi y'all life's been crazy

have a... flustered vava as my gift to you 🥰

[deadawake]

valentines day brainworms nonsense

[deadawake]

I don't have anything new so here's this crap from forever ago to prove I'm not dead!!! 🥹

[deadawake]

been replaying sotn again

so it's alucard practice time

also I'm just rusty in general; haven't drawn in a while!

[deadawake]

burry burdon

[deadawake]

this took me ages but I had the idea and couldn't let it go

which is your favorite ✨ 🦇

[deadawake]

i wanted to experiment further with the image since i kinda liked the vibe it had. so i adjusted some things, put some filters on it, and found a font that kinda-sorta looks like some PS1-esque survival horror font to give it that extra bit of spice

hopefully my Vision™ comes through on this one. you may need to view it at full res to get the effect since the scanlines on the pic can distort the final product when resized. 🥲

lmk what u think! here's the original if u want to compare.

been experimenting with new brushes

where to find me

i'm not one to sensationalize stuff like "omg! tumblr is shutting down! the sky is falling!" but this time i'll admit i'm a little nervies.

tumblr has been my "home" social media for over a decade now and i'm not going anywhere; i'll be here til the lights turn off (hopefully they never will). but until that time comes, i figure that if anyone actually cares to keep up with me in some capacity, i would peel back the veil and reveal some ways to get in contact with me (spoilers: there aren't many mainstream ones as i don't use twitter or anything like that):

discord: backfires (this is the best way to contact me. just please lmk who you are when messaging me because i do get a lot of scammers from various servers i'm in. the trade-off of having open DMs)

revolt: catastrofuck#9648 (this is my discord back-up platform since that's a nebulous situation, too. i'm not particularly active here ATM but i have the app so if this is your chat program of choice, just lmk who you are!)

bluesky: irradiate (nothing posted here yet but that may change if smth happens here. i'm not really fond of twitter-clones and posting methods, but it's a back-up plan of a back-up plan basically)

archiveofourown: starlore (my fanfics, obvs)

plurk: heartsigh (i haven't posted here since COVID-times, but if ur on that platform, feel free to add me since i'll probs be back eventually!)

pillowfort: godtier (again, not really posting here yet but this is where i will likely "move operations" in the event of a platform explosion on tumblr bc it's the closest analogue that i've found... until this platform inevitably shuts down too bc it seems like they struggle making ends meet)

itaku: flamewar (same as the rest: don't really have much going on here but this is a place i might use for NSFW art in the future. i really like its vibe but it's very furry-heavy if that's a deal-breaker for you lmfao)

dreamwidth: armadas (this is a last resort of last resorts, not because i hate dw or anything! but it has never been a place where i blogged routinely; this was my fandom RP stomping grounds! i may return here for that purpose alone, but my personal is available as a fallback should no other platform do it for me)

that's all of them for now, i think. i'll leave this pinned until further notice. hopefully this "restructuring" isn't a death knell but like i said, it's not a great sign.

[deadawake]

today is my favorite bleach character's b-day and I wanted to draw smth for him 😤 I struggled thru this with a headache so I didn't color it properly... pls forgive me 🙏 he deserves much more than this......

anyway 😶‍🌫️

happy birthday keigo ♡

hi y'all! haven't posted for a bit bc of IRL things.

one such IRL thing is that my lovely cat virgo had surgery last week to remove a mass. she's recovering well, if a bit annoyed at being monitored 24/7.

the day she came home from surgery, i took this photo:

i showed it to a friend of mine and she said that the picture looked like "the portrait of a noble lady." that gave me an idea.

i present to you, her royal majesty virgo:

i simply painted over the picture in clip studio and made some... minor adjustments! be sure to view the full pic as i'm sure tumblr compressed the hell out of it.

i will say, it was challenging to paint in this way; i was trying out some new brushes that better mimic gouache and thus tried to use them... how i would when i paint with actual gouache lmao. it was trying. for that reason, i also cheated with the embellishments and used a pattern pen, so unfortunately, they kinda don't match the overall vibe... perhaps i'll try to recreate this with actual gouache in the future and hand-paint the embellishments.

either way, hope y'all enjoy this little diversion and i'll hopefully be posting more stuff here soon!

nudibranch time 🐌

another palette set from @color-palettes

this will probably be the latest one for a bit because 1, this hurt my hand doing all the little coral bits manually and 2, i go back to work tomorrow 😔

i hope y'all enjoyed my lil set of weird creatures! maybe more when i have spare time this week 😶‍🌫️

[deadawake]

been watching a lot of prehistoric creature content lately so i wanted to doodle the anurognathus! one of the tiniest pterosaurs ever 🥹 it's so tiny and cute, i wish they were still around today...

another set of palettes from @color-palettes 😊

[deadawake]

used some color palettes from @color-palettes to practice animal drawings... I love eels 😭

I think it turned a bit washed out but I wanted to be done fussing with it!!

[deadawake]

OKOK FINALLY REDRAW TIME

an old rvb doodle reborn

2012:

2024:

[deadawake]

OK look I know I said I was gonna do redraws and more mouthwashing art (and I intend to!) but

the dbz demon arrived again

and then I was like "wolf boy yamcha"

and then my hand slipped

and yeah

sry for the flashbang 😔

[deadawake]

look just

don't ask

[deadawake]

so, I was looking at old art before bed and I think I may try to redraw some of this stuff.

a lot of it is old rvb ship art, which will be fun to redo after 10+ years...

some of it doesn't look horrible for being 10+ years old, but my style has changed a lil bit so it might be interesting...

probs limited to stuff I've already posted and haven't deleted bc otherwise I'll be too embarrassed lmao

but ya that's my goal for the week: at least start one redraw of old art. not necessarily finish it, but I'm gonna start.

we'll see what happens.

oh I also want to finish my mouthwashing art bc next up is daisuke I think 🤔

hope y'all enjoy o/
