fallenchococookie's art

Hey guys! I'm Cookie and, among reblogs, I share my own art on this blog.

I decided to make a little pinned post for anyone interested in order to make it easier to navigate my blog and find my art elsewhere.

You can find a very simple portfolio of my latest/best works on carrd: fallenchococookie.carrd.co

--- Commissions ---

I don't advertise any commissions at the moment but if you're interested regardless, please email me at [email protected] or send a DM here or on any of the socials mentioned above.

I won't draw or paint any sexually explicit images but (artistic) nudity is absolutely fine. My favourite things to paint are horses/equines and female elves, as you may guess from the work I frequently share.

Thanks for checking out my blog! Maybe I'll see you around? 😄

I love your compositions so much! Composition is my weakest point as an artist, I’m curious if you have any tips/recommendations/things you do/exercises? I want to learn from people who are doing it well!

Fortunately, composition is technically VERY simple! The hard thing about it is training your brain to actually stick to the "rules" that are, in retrospect, obvious.

These are the pillars of composition to me: -Have your focus be the center of the frame. -Lead the eye from the focus to secondary details through the use of color and positioning. -Everything else in the picture simply does not matter that much.

Common mistakes: -Overdetailing everything regardless of the plane it's on or position in the frame. -Nailing the composition, but picking light that shifts the focus away from the subject unintentionally. -Awkward cut-offs at the edges.

Here are some of my pieces and how I applied that theory to them - I'm not saying they're to be upheld as perfect examples of composition! Rather I just want to show my thinking in practice:

(Notice that despite being in the background and having way less detail, Astarion is still the focus point due to his color palette!)

(feat. Devlin by @ejoym)

Like I said, it's mostly about changing the way that you THINK while drawing and holding back from overdoing things when there is no need to. It's a skill you develop by being present while you practice, and doing a little bit of planning before even touching pen-to-paper. In time, it becomes second-nature.

This should go without saying, also, but rules are made to be broken! There are instances where doing the opposite of everything I just said can be VERY effective, but it takes understanding the base theory of such things first to apply these exceptions correctly.

These are some really awesome tips and examples!

Thank you @jabberwockprince for tagging me. I don't remember when I was last tagged in anything like this D:

📖 Reading: H.P. Lovecraft, The Complete Fiction (I find it hard to get through, it’s been years); Das Kind in dir muss Heimat finden; Witch Hat Atelier; the witcher books, intermittently 🎵Last song: Shadowlord (from the NieR Replicant/Gestalt OST) 📺Currently watching: YouTube video essays & gaming content (also cutscenes in FFXIV lmao) I'm not huge on shows usually 😅 🎬Last movie: Jurassic World Dominion (I watched it with some friends, we made fun of it) You can probably tell that I don't watch many movies... Current obsession: FFXIV MSQ, always cycling back to The Witcher and/or horses Currently working on: an art trade; a little course for my friends on how to draw horses 🔎Last Google search: „old car“ - one of my friends taught us how to draw cars the other day :D 👕What are you wearing right now?: pyjama bottoms with very Christmassy penguins and a black shirt, I yearn for the colder months

Tagging: @filzmonster @christophercant @dm7 @leo-val-art @sophiefourcadeart @versatilehorizon234 @aoya - if any of you want to do it 😄

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Dear friends who draw! Purely hypothetically speaking — would anyone be interested in doing an art exchange? I don't exactly have loads of free time at the moment — quite the opposite — but the longing for art of my favorite people/characters kind of wins, so… Just putting it out there :)

[devinellekurtz]

My very first tiger drawing and my latest

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Your skill level is unquestionable but listen.

I love him.

[toasthaste-art]

me also. as well.

[devinellekurtz]

This is the COOLEST thing I’ve seen in AGES. You both completely made my entire week.

[fallenbiscuit]

I met Zenos. He called me pathetic and left. Iconic

[fallenbiscuit]

The demon and the vampire

I’ve drawn Vinya with other characters a few times by now. Still can’t finally decide on her clothes and hair, but she’s in there somewhere, I just know it :D

Her skin colour also changed since 2018 as you can see

(I really need to practice hands and improve at planning out poses in general, those proportions are OFF lol)

25 April: I guess I’m reinstalling FFXIV. Let’s see how long I stick with it this time. A year ago, I played about 2 months I think? Maybe only one. It was fun but I wanted to play other things at some point and kinda left FF by the wayside 😅

07 May: this has been sitting in my drafts… still playing every day lmao

Then again, it hasn’t been all that long yet. I’m really dangerously getting sucked into making glamours… please pray for me

The Wolf Herder

[fallenbiscuit]

Slowly preparing for artfight. By which I mean I’m saving way too many characters to my bookmarks
