6 and 11 for the artist asks!!

6. Favorite and least favorite angles/perspectives to draw?

hmm favorite probably has to go to the good ol' side profile/side profile at a bit of an angle on the z-axis! least favorite... anything that i don't know how to draw without refs xDD i'll get them... eventually 🫡

11. Have you ever drawn a meme with your OCs or canon characters from a fictional media?

yup! i've done plenty of memes with mcspirk especially (but definitely older memes lmaoo. i'm not up to date with memes these days)

[dustykneed]

Ask game! ask game! ask game! Numbers 17 and 5 :)

17. Your personal favorite works of art (not made by you) are...?

my memory is kind of awful when it comes to actually retrieving knowledge of works of art (like if i came across something i would absolutely be able to go !!!! that!!!! :DDD but i totally just blanked for a minute 😂) i'm going to be kind of general unfortunately and just go with ghibli movies and pieces by vincent van gogh! the humanity in both is something that really resonates with me.

5. What piece of art are you still proud of to this day? (Show or describe)

oh man probably something like this, this or this! i guess kind of introspective/cross-medium pieces of fanart in the making of which i really engage with how i interpret the source media or the characters involved. these are pretty hit or miss when it comes to whether they're a hit with other people or not, but i don't mind! i like them because of the internal journey they take me on while i make them.

Artist Ask Game

Hey everyone! I've seen many artist ask games going around on Tumblr over the years and I've always wanted to make one of my own. If you're reblogging from someone other than the source, and you'd like to help foster a bit more community here on Tumblr, consider sending an ask to the person who put the post your way! :) Without further ado:

1. When did you start creating art?

2. Do you do art in any professional capacity? (Graphic design, commissions, animation, etc.)

3. What are your favorite subjects to draw? (OCs, your fan faves, etc.)

4. What's your least favorite part of the body to draw, if any?

5. What piece of art are you still proud of to this day? (Show or describe)

6. Favorite and least favorite angles/perspectives to draw?

7. Who are some artists that have inspired you?

8. How would you describe your art style?

9. What's the longest you've ever suffered from artblock?

10. How do you deal with art block?

11. Have you ever drawn a meme with your OCs or canon characters from a fictional media?

12. Ever participated in a multi-artist collaboration (3 or more) such as a multi-animator project?

13. What kind of art do you personally not see the appeal of, and why?

14. Do you prefer to make fan content or original content?

15. Do you/have you participated in Artfight or art trades in general?

16. What was something you used to struggle to draw with confidence/ease, but have now mastered?

17. Your personal favorite works of art (not made by you) are...?

18. Do you typically use filters on your art?

19. What's your biggest insecurity when it comes to your artwork?

20. What motivates/inspires you artistically? (topics, emotions, etc)

When will you do six the kids? (The kids and in Mary the first, Henry Fitzroy, Elizabeth the first, Edward the sixth and Mae parr)

What about their ladies in waiting Maggie Bessie Joan and Maria too? And maybe Jane Parker and Maud Lane too?

Can you also do the queens siblings and parents too?

And also the Tudor family please?

I'm assuming by six the kids you mean designs for the kids in the musical universe specifically? If you're asking *when*... I can't exactly promise I ever really will, ahah. I do have some designs for Mary, Elizabeth and Edward, but they're based in the Tudors (the show) and a part of my modern au for araleyn. If you might be interested in that, here's some domestic step-family bonding in the araleyn household.

The rest of my (vague) designs for the queens' families will also be based in the Tudors, and if they don't appear in my modern au, likely historical-- mostly because the musical portrays the queens in a fairly specific tone and style (and takes plenty of liberties) and I'm not comfortable replicating that, neither with the kids, nor with historical figures who are less well documented than the queens or royalty, for a number of reasons.

That being said, I definitely enjoy other people's character designs and headcanons for the kids in the musical universe! But it isn't something I see myself interested in doing personally anytime soon.

don't cry, okay? maybe butch scotty is somewhere out there for reals...

(and if he is. can he call me... please i need more butches in my life pl

elizabeth schuyler was a sister and a daughter. elizabeth hamilton is all that, and a revolutionary's wife, and then the wife of the secretary of the treasury, scorned.

she burns letters, and she commits his penmanship to memory. he only began to loop the H in his name after the end of the war. he used to write like a hurricane was at his heels, in his youth. every poem etched with a shard of his soul, bleeding light like cathedral glass.

she loves him, still. she doesn't think she could ever stop. but she lets him think she has, and eliza is many things, but now, above all else, she is a mother.

so she burns every letter he has written her-- burns months and years and decades-- and she rereads her life in reverse, in the light of her candle flame. she erases his past, every bit of it with love, for her children, for him.

years of her life crumble into ash beside his.

looking at the choir, ocean wishes she'd realized it sooner-- you were good enough, after all.

all of you were good enough.

[dustykneed]

rtc doodles... figuring out my jane doe design

really wanted to focus on the uncanniness of the doll head (especially because to me her arc is about acceptance-- being accepted by the choir externally and accepting her lack of identity as an identity internally) and emphasizing the inherent alienation of being unable to emote is something that i think is really fun to play with!

...and of course my yuri 🙏🏼 i'm obsessed with themmm

@fizzyxapple tysm for the kind words 🥺 i'd be honoured if you ate my art ahah (hopefully you like this electricity yuri as much as i do!!)

[dustykneed]

i uhhh. really really enjoy the lighting in rtc... can you tell?

colors my beloved <3333 anyway obviously my karnak and virgil are yuri.

i haven't actually looked up their designs in the production i was doodling but honestly noone can stop me from completely unabashedly making them hot and codependent. i will say i LOVE their dynamic... many many thoughts about them.

[dustykneed]

哇哈哈谁懂

[dustykneed]

jim says, like he's any better when anything happens to his xo and cmo...

[dustykneed]

listened to the rtc soundtrack for the first time and started doodling. it's growing on me i think...

[dustykneed]

niche yuri is my weakness sorry... especially period drama yuri. did i mention i'm writing fic for them (i'm beyond help 🙏🏼🫡) doesn't help that araleyn is catnip to me!

translation: although it seems so improbable, i think, i've fallen in love with you. i know that in this life, we were never destined for love-- but, regardless, i hope you can allow me to keep on loving you.

six the musical araleyn for a change! them sharing a dressing room is a fact that rotates in my brain permanently.

i have cried over the tudors an embarrassing amount of times (probably what got me attached ngl xDD) and ugh it's just so dear to me.
