Ira Does Arts

Fanart, original art, whatever brings joy and creative fulfillment! Main blog found over at irabluebird, and commissions avaiilable on ko-fi!] Icon is a lovely silly doodle by prismsession.

More miscellaneous Naruto OC art, because the Ninji discord are enablers.

1. Ayano portrait

2. Yū / Eel, third member of ANBU team Tsu

3. Self indulgent ship art for an AU I’ll probably never share

[irabluebirdart]

Did individual illustrations for Akito and Shiho! Once I finally do Yuu's darn design, I'll do matching portraits for them and Ayumu as well.

Made Kiyo a little prettier!

Drew my silly puppet guy! Little madlad who figured out how to make his puppet fly so he could fly on it.

(First illustration is a companion to the single fic I’ve posted for Kiki so far, lol)

Art Fight Attacks

Better late than never… anyways here’s some others folks’ OCs I drew for Art Fight last year!

[irabluebirdart]

Recently, I’ve been doing small illustrations on these blank ‘artist trading cards’ at work. Here are several from the last couple of months.

Characters in order:

Image 1, L-R: Kubinashi, Zen, Tsurara (all from Nurarihyon no Mago)

Image 2, L-R: (top row) unnamed, no character, (bottom row) unnamed, Rikuo (NnM), Hakubai (KnY OC)

Image 3: Kiki (Naruto OC)

Image 4: Kestrel & Kite (original characters)

Image 5: Kiyo (Naruto OC)

[irabluebirdart]

Much appreciation to @thelandofninji discord for helping me get visual designs made for many of my neglected OC!

Image 1, left to right: Senju Yūma, Senju Kasumi, Nawamo Yūichirō, Ayano of Ame

Image 2, left to right: Hyūga Tomoko, Tsukimine Sei, Yamanaka Sanae, Yamanaka Ayumu

Image 3, left to right: Kitagawa Asahi, Miyazaki Seira, Uchiha Mitsuki, Shiratori Yuzuki

[irabluebirdart]

These ones are from another extremely self-indulgent, modern-day university AU that is solely for the purpose of chatfic nonsense. I think modern Kakashi is my favorite of all of these designs lmao.

for fun, here’s everyone’s chat usernames:

Kiki — wing king

Shisui — spEED DEmon bABy JaiL

Tobirama — discount hatake

Tenzō — kakashi did Nothing wrong

Obito — Kakashi Did Everything Wrong

Kakashi — doggy style

ft. too many group chats, families oddly inclined toward polyamory, and the concept of tobirama with his hair dyed multicolor for pride month that i still have yet to draw but DESPERATELY need to.

[irabluebirdart]

More CCoK AU sketches — these ones are for ‘on purpose, with a small umbrella’, which is basically just main timeline except that Shisui lives — albeit with one eye and some amnesia. it’s a newer AU so the sketches are more recent, but it’s one of my favorites.

We love a coparenting-before-acknowledging-romantic-feelings arc! (Iruka is there because he is Shaped Like Family and he and Kiki are lowkey roommates in a lot of the ccok aus).

Danzō is quietly shitting his pants somewhere wondering how the fuck Shisui is alive. As he deserves.

[irabluebirdart]

Gonna post some old Naruto OC stuff because I’ve been neglecting this blog, and I want to do a proper art fight compilation later…

These are all from one of my MANY CCoK AUs — this one is an extremely self indulgent polyamorous time travel piece of nonsense titled ‘if a star is a star’.

It involves Kiki, Shisui Uchiha, and Tobirama Senju being sent back in time from the afterlife after the 4th Shinobi War. Minato & Kushina get saved, Obito gets rehabilitated, Inoichi gets to teach traumatized undead geniuses, Madara and Hashirama get to sip sake in the afterlife and watch the show, etc.

There’s a lot more to it than that but I’m just throwing this at the wall like spaghetti bc I’ll probably never actually write the damn fic.

[cure-icy-writes]

the human mind is prone to catastrophizing when left unoccupied. And that’s why it’s important to always have a little Blorbo to rotate in your head. It acts as a protective charm of sorts to redirect your imagination away from harmful spirals

thoughts without Blorbo: oh my god I was so cringe in seventh grade why did I do that

thoughts with Blorbo: I haven’t considered the interactions with bleebus; I must rectify this immediately

[sluttynurse]

you tell any adult over the age of 50 that you're looking for a job and they're frothing at the mouth to offer insight bc they think your young and/or lazy ass has never even conceived what they're about to tell you. and it's printing your resume onto a very disposable piece of paper and walking into the workplace and handing it to a random employee

[irabluebirdart]

Gonna try to do art fight again this year! As always, I may not get a lot of attacks done since I'm searching for scraps of energy that my day job has spared, but I'm looking forward to drawing characters with everyone again!
