Still alive, Happy New Year

Here you go. Some of the, uh, art I did over the last few years that I didn't post up here. Or may have forgotten. Or whatever. Who cares?

All of these characters are mine from my upcoming book 'Descendant'.

I'm also posting here because I'll hiring soon for the following positions...once I know I have some extra cash:

Lakota sensitivity readers (both of which need to know or are able to find people who speak Lakota---**Big goal**: Ohanzee's Backstory will be told in 100% Lakota until he meets non-Lakota speakers)

Other Nations that will need input later: Comanche, Kiowa, Pawnee, Crow, Choctaw, Cherokee (and I'll try to make sure if any others come up, I'll add them to the list.)

Creature concept designer: (Angels, demons, monsters, etc.)

Website designer: Someone who knows how to put a website together and make it functional and good looking.

IN the meantime, I'd appreciate some love or a share or a "hey, Not too bad" but also, like, this is a HUGE project. I mean...bigger than Lackadaisy, huge.

Ya'll deserve better occult stories. I hope I'm writing a good one for you. I'm an unknown in this space, only popping up periodically, but this year is different.

There is no doomsaying here. Art is needed now more than ever and I'm getting this done and I need help. Lots of help. While I also figure out how to get you all paid. D':

PS:

I also QUIT art for a while. SO...this...or whatever it is, is the best I can for now.

I'll still doodle and all that but, like, the deal was it's no longer allowed to piss me off.

A lot of people on twitter wanted me to explain how I draw expressions, so here you go

Unless you're drawing explicit realism, in my opinion, expressions should be exaggerated to some degree. If you aren't doing a 1:1 recreation, the point is to get the FEELING across. Try making the expression you want to draw and feeling how your face pinches and stretches.

Skin doesn't just "disappear" when your face moves it around --- that's where wrinkles come from! Pay attention to where your skin creases when you emote, and use it to your benefit. It's a fine line between overdoing it and underdoing it -- find your own balance.

Ultimately, every expression has a little bit of push and pull, unless your face is completely neutral (and even then, there are still some wrinkles...). Learning to think of expressions as actions and reactions is VERY helpful in learning to draw them without needing a reference, and in learning how to stylize and push expressions based on references as well!

I think a lot of people end up with stiff or unexpressive emotions in their art because they're just trying to recreate a picture instead of understanding WHY and HOW the face is moving --- and it's a tough thing that takes a while to really pick up and learn. Hopefully is helpful in showing a way of thinking about it that can influence your process and approach to emotions!!!

Also, bonus: even without the lines, the planes alone still show a LOT of emotion.

could you make a paw tutorial? like how you draw paws?

Looks more like a guide rather than a tutorial, but I hope it’s still helpful

Also, I made a similar post on anthro paws as well if you’re interested

Happy Lunar New Year!

I was born in the year of the horse many moons ago and this year is also the fire element so I've painted a fire horse in the style of traditional Chinese watercolor~

Will you be doing anything special to celebrate? I'm far away from my birthland but I will try to make tangyuan 🤤

[fuckyeahchinesefashion]

These flying "Chang'an Flower" horses, each symbolizing different wishes and meanings, were created by 稻草daocao, inspired by Tang Sancai (Tang tri-color pottery).(Friendly reminder: OP is a 3D artist. Each piece takes a very long time to create and has proper copyright. Please don't casually dismiss this kind of 3D art as AI.)

ZOMG they so fat xD

[miyuliart]

I collected my art tips on hands over the years. It ended up being 54 pages of notes I took and some guides I tried to create for myself. Maybe some of these can be useful to others as well. You can buy the pdf here or join my Patreon to get it for free.

PSA: stuttering in fics

as someone with a speech impediment, all of the people saying that only one type of stuttering is valid are wrong.

stuttering CAN look like this: "t-this is a-an example s-s-sentence"

OR this: "this-this is an example sen-sentence."

OR this: "t-t-t-th-..t-ttttthis is an example sentence."

OR this: "this is, uhm, an example, uh, sentence."

OR this: "this is an example sssssss-sentence."

OR this: "this is an examp-...this an example sentence."

sometimes the sentence won't even come out of your mouth at all.

there are probably many examples i'm forgetting, but that's the point! it usually is a mix of a few of these, but some people do one of them more often than others! some people with speech impediments have certain sounds that they almost consistently have trouble with (for me it's "st").

people with speech impediments also rarely-if ever-stutter whilst they're singing or whispering.

most importantly!!!! people with speech impediments are capable of saying a sentence without stuttering!! it can just be a gamble sometimes.

and if more people could portray the frustration that comes with stuttering and not being able to get words out, i'd be a very happy girl.

(fun fact: sometimes when my mouth won't let me say what i want to say, i get so annoyed that i just yell or grumble out "WORDS.")

this was your speech impediment PSA!!!!

[the-complicity-system]

We need more repeat and pause stutters or when you basically lose the plot after one too many retries

Its like- its like when- like- when- like when- FUCK

Its like.........uh- like when.... when— fuck nevermind

We get this shit so much hh

[djwaglmuffin]

Actually, thanks for this.

I was thinking of bringing in another character with a stutter from wartime PTSD. This is good stuff, thank you.
