I had a whole plan for this art ngl. but I do love how immediately I gave up on it, and was like whateverrrr. And lololol that wasn’t even my original idea for skkr pose. but you know what. it became actual fun piece when u added the tonal colour or whatever thing. so hey! a win<3
Dhjdjdjd never underestimate the power of touken. I was replying to a comment and lmao ended writing a lil something connecting to chp1 of this fic (and even drew something! Found in the reblog of this) it’s extremly hilarious considering how that fic started. from mikas lovely art but seriously wow. I have been struggling shit to write smth n then I whip up this??????
Kaneki walks back to their bed, soft with his footsteps. He doesn’t want to wake Touka, in case she’s asleep.
She hasn’t managed to get much rest lately. They’ve been a bit busy.
Walking around to his side, he raises the cover and snuggles in behind her. She does seems to be sleeping, but makes small noises as he presses a quick kiss to her exposed shoulder, her shirt riding low.
And just as he’s about to get comfortable and go to sleep —
He glimpses something on their nightstand.
Kaneki pauses. Exactly what….? He raises himself, leaning over Touka to get closer at the thing. It’s… a box. A very familiar box.
No way.
It couldn’t be…?
In slow movement, he presses it with his finger. The box bursts open, the face of a laughing clown springing up in his face.
Beneath him, there’s a muffled sound.
Oh he sees how it is now.
“Touka,” Kaneki grumbles out. “You got the jack in box and left it on our nightstand?” He looks down at her as he returns back to sit at their bed.
Touka turns to him, very much awake, with a grin. “Didn’t jump this time?” She says. Her eyes are bright with mirth. “I was hoping to get another picture to immortalise on our framed wall of Ken Moments.”
He knows that she’s joking, by the fact that she doesn’t even have a camera or phone on hand. He just makes a face, looking at her.
She laughs again, pulling him for a kiss.
Kaneki snuggles back in his place, this time with Touka turned around to face him.
“Are you really gonna keep it there?”
“Why not?” Touka says, “It’s a cute memory.”
“To you.”
“Well… okay… if it bothers you that much. I will protect you, my dear husband, and take out the clown for you.”
Another very much teasing tone, and Kaneki just resigns himself to it. The box, for the foreseeable future, will apparently make itself a fixture on their nightstand now; alongside his glasses and the odd bits of papers they have on it, and that one rabbit keychain he gave to Touka since ages ago.
—
Ichika will wander into their bedroom much later on, a nightmare plaguing her dreams and wanting to be with her parents to take it away. Kaneki will rest her on his lap, arms around her as Touka strokes her head and murmurs warm things.
Ichika will spot the box then when she’s more calmed down, and as all curious children do, reach for it. Kaneki forgetting it was even there, will jump at the sudden noise — the laughing clown springing up.
There will be roaring laughter around him, and Touka will miraculously capture that moment because she happened to have her phone in her hands and has quick reflexes.
“Did you just take a —“
“I can’t believe it worked again —”
“Papa!! Do that again!”
Apparently Ichika will like it so much, that the box will migrate to living room, making its own space alongside their framed photos.
And the very new framed one where Kaneki has his mouth wide open, face contorted in shock. Ichika’s face echoing him.
Hehehehe I love how my drawing process has gotten more my streamlined and efficient. Emphasis on *more*. I realised while doing lil doodles for Tmnt, that hey. sketching n working out stuff in my notes app and then transferring that to my procreate and working on there, is. so. much more helpful. then having thousands of layers on lmao procreate.
like this one was really. two layers drawing over my thumbnail, kaneki n ichika and then adjusting a bit, and then another layer for each of their actual faces and hair (separate layers for hair) and thennnnn. literally duplicating all of that, and merging and then remembering that flip canvas layer exists, and then it making me realise i Forgot Kaneki’s Other Leg, sketching that in, and lmao fixing a bit of his pose and their faces (realising that the hair should be more volume so it doesn’t look like their skulls r lmao sunken in) then just dropping in shading for clothes to separate everything and making it clear… on separate layers… since that makes it easier
andddd then just doing a multiply layer for some quick shadowing and then duplicating all of that and merging and adjusting how they fit the canvas and Done :)
(Why does that second sketch feel better to me…)
and HEHEHHE they way I was able to sketch this pose in moments… very proud… tho I wish I adjusted kaneki’s face more to my liking but also. this was just a sketch soooo. forget that shit<3
I did wanna draw Touka and I tried but was like yeah no. that was too much effort LMAO
lmaooooo I love saying fck it and drawing simple ass sasusakus without a care, no effort 👍 and fjfjjfjfjf, pls. I have NO idea what that comic is trying to say. I gave up immediately in trying to do skkr in grocery aisle and then she’s idk???? in front of a bookshelf now??? what she’s trying to say. no clue idea. hospital??? dead person??? if no book???? lmaooo. but I had very fun drawing those panels. heh. (read alt for a more clear image of what’s going in the comic lol) also lmao skkr is 100% asking for implied kisses in that first one heheheh.
drawing people interacting is the bane of my existence but pleasantly surprised at how well the second piece came out…. for an initial pose… sometimes I can draw and the poses can look nice……
People never came around this beach, it was practically deserted so Suigetsu thought it was a good idea to take a lil nap until…. he woke up to a human staring at him….?!
im REALLY fond of how this panel’ing how to be. and it was accident since I really had other plans but since I was doing whatever for the first few panels above to get a feel for expressions and etc and was like ok. lets do this wacky way and oh!!!! I really liked it. would want to make Ichigo make bigger and overlap the other panels but it’s goooooood. I LOVE IT. it’s so fun when you stumble into panels such of this. im so<333
HAPPY BDAY SRDA…..!!!!!!!! TO THE BEST GIRL EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
collection of srda art I collected over the months under;
I was thinking of other stuff to draw for srda day instead of this one since it was going well.. and made this lil sketch idea and then went oh. cuz it reminded me of this srda bday one i did like what (apparently for last year! who knew!) and went thro memory lane… I TRULY THINK I DREW HER THE MOST……biggest sarada fan honestly<3 i love her design n her so much. shame that tumblr only allows a limited amount of art on a post.
I WASNT ABLE TO FINISH THIS BUT…… I STILL WANTED TO POST FOR MY GIRL…. (I mean I probs could have finished the lineart within the two hours left BUT…..I sorely needed a break ahaha)
(also writing that ALT going me laughing so much. so many unfinished hands/arms going around.)
tch. I hate the 30 limit tag… so just adding everything here LMAO… I was hoping I would be able to say everything I wanted within it. but eh. I was cLOSE THOUGH….! then I remembered I forgot to add the character tags LOL.
#my girl shiemi bday was like the next day and I KNEW I had to do something be damned
#and in perfect world I would be able to spend as much as I wanted on this and do it more idk what the word is
#structured I guess?
#fresh from the new chapter I had rinshi in my mind so I had to add it somewhere
#and obvs I knew from get go im going to have izushie in it….
#and I wanted to add more characters
#and honestly yukio was the next person in mind…
#I wondered what he’d do. and I really liked the idea of him just smiling I debated on whether he’d be in the hug and it was very close but
#couldn’t think of way without overloading or changing what I had and I cba to do that and from there honestly
#i knew that I would have the cram kids and had to add them in….!
#ryuuji was the last person for me to add n think of what he’d be doing and I like how it came out….
#I knew I wanted nee and Kuro and lol kuro was supposed to be on top of shiemi’s head but I forgot while doing it and wasn’t going to add hi
#in anymore but I felt like it needed it towards the end and added him on izumos side to balance Rin’s tail
#which I didn’t also plan and was like would be fun… and I did love that detail….!
#I do think it’s super funny how Kuro was on side of koneko n izumo… both such cat lovers… I was thinking while drawing Kuro on her back wow
#izumo would be so happy with that. I did want to add paku n shiemis mom n grandma…! but too much work same itb the confetti thing LMAO
#I didn’t know how it looked tbh and I couldn’t be bothered to look up refs and draw it properly but I do adore how when drawing the confett
#scribbles the idea of banner and later nee holding it came to me and I loved that…. so cute….
#ryuuji was honestly gonna be just holding some presents too but I felt like it was too redundant and while moving stuff around… it didn’t
#really work anyways so I gave him a random pot LMAO anyways while making this and thinking of briefly what character would do what. man. I
#wanna write a compinating small piece now….. it seems this happens a lot LOL it happened with that fun lil sketch I did for an idea… and no
#I have an au planned and an au of that au.. also mentality into the piece was me just scribbling stuff no actual finalising stuff… and I
#really liked that? Yeah in the middle I was like wow this sucks and I hate it and I did put more time into it than I expected mostly becaus
#of the adjusting LOL and I had that mentality of quick in and go for this art cuz my hand wasn’t doing well and I wanted to create somethin
#for shiemi anyways. it worked well!!! I started to love when I came back for the last session of adding stuff and finishing it… and it was
#SO nice seeing it come together!!! I love it!!!! also I forgot what I was gonna say……
#first time drawing a cat really n was kinda worried but I just went in and it came out alright… I didn’t like it as I was drawing it but
#finished Kuro is so cute I love it… and I was struggling with Yukio but after fresh eyes I really do like it…..! I love him<3
#but it might just be recency bias LOL
#doing the most on first day and then working on it this morning and then later really did help I think with the fresh eyes
#overall I really like the composition the best.. it makes me happy that it came out overall nice together
