gnawing on my faves 24/7 @kalloway - Tumblr Blog

i have an appointment to be up for in like 6 hours, but instead I committed a pride month sin(?) by sketching a raging misogynist, smdh

all this did was prove me right - I can draw Naoya first try but struggle with my fave, Choso 😭

(I'll 100% wake up tomorrow and not like this... I already know smth is 'off', but I also just like the brush I used enough i'm willing to overlook it for the moment lmfao >:)c)

#delete later #afternoon reblog #jjk naoya #naoya zenin #fanart #sketch #'afternoon reblog' and it's like 7pm lmfao but I DID post this at 4am so...#also I have slept on it and its still weird in the same spots but I like it in the same way so I will crop it up to personal style amnesia #u know like when u go thru a phase where u feel ur art looks super weird to u no matter what??? that - I think it's that hahaha #or maybe it's the fact I drew on a white canvas for a change instead of a grey paper one... either/or

#fanart #sketch #naoya zenin #jjk naoya #myart #delete later #honestly there is so much more wrong with Naoya than misogyny but it's easy enough to hate him for that alone lmfao #he does NOT deserve that eyeliner #he activates my 'i need to push him down some stairs... possibly affectionately???? but mostly out of spite' response #like some days it's a flight of stairs... other days im weirdly lenient and will think to shove him down a hill instead idk man #anyway I gotta actually sleep now but grrr im mad this brush got deleted cuz I'm actually liking it now #between this one and the marker set i LOVElovelove and use for shading sketches a lot getting removed.... devastated...#also wow sketching on a blank/white canvas with no paper texture? who is this???? (I was testing brushes and didn't bother lol)

lil mock JJK anime render of my fave OC because she is the star of almost all my mental fanfics at any given time LMFAO

(I promise it's not blurry, it's the image dimensions... between this and bluesky wanting to auto-preview it right at skirt-level..... im tired man lmfao) (Posted this and it immediately made a liar out of me and displays fine in my feed... dw about the blurry bit lol)

(very long-winded alt text included on the bluesky post for this!)

#oc #original character #artists on tumblr #art #digital art #myart #miriam amell #im so like self conscious about tagging anything anymore... like arguably I'd get more exposure if I used like a jjk tag #but that feels rude af... and even oc tags make me feel bad because I don't actually share much *about* my ocs...#mostly because in my head no one cares and im just getting in the way of like actually good art so 8)#it's awesome 10/10 would mentally back myself into a corner again /s #BUT I LIKE HOW THIS TURNED OUT even if it's stylistically weird in spots #I mentioned it in the alt text over on bluesky but I didn't set out with the goal to actually like mimic the style all that closely #but I kinda did anyway in parts because I had constant refs on-screen and it just sorta... happens?#also used a 3D model to assist in fixing her legs and it was so gd worth it guys... CSP assets are awesome actually (I always knew this)#it was mostly because I wanted help with the shoes... but the model also had legs attached and I thought it'd be easier to pose lmao #also lighter-weight because it's only one model instead of me needing two on the canvas with more fiddling around so... win-win c:#fun fact: she was originally going to have dyed hair in her Jujutsu Tech days (she was self conscious)... but it looked so weird #on this render so I ended up changing it back to its natural colour LMFAO... I might still canonically have it dyed though #it's just weird when such a recognizable physical trait of ur OC is suddenly different... having the style oddness from this too didn't hel #like Miriam's been a redhead since day 1 when I made her in Dragon Age Origins bro lmfao I CAN'T TAKE THAT FROM HER (easily)

heat--end

i haaaate being avoidant. it makes you feel like the world's biggest jackass whenever someone tries to talk to you or whatever and you just Freeze Up

heat--end

Oh sorry i took a long ass time to reply and didnt say anything. I got arbitrarily scared and tired myself out so now i cant say much. Oopsie teehee. it makes you feel like a huge dickhead

couple-a Gojo screenshot redraw sketches because..... because :)

#sketch #doodle #gojo satoru #fanart #screenshot redraw #myart #first pic is the one I just finished like 5 minutes ago hahaha - trying smth different with “colouring” sketches #since ive been using a ballpoint pen style brush so I thought... why not do scribbly/hatching shading for the colours?#tho I still combined it with marker shading in spots because u can pry these brushes from my cold dead hands (?)#anyway I listened to a roleplay vid last night of Gojo and when I say I like cried 3 different times and took like a 15 minute intermission #after the first word... lmfao #I am so not normal about literally everything it's disgusting smh #(it was such a good video (audio?) tho - their Gojo VA did such a good job! I get scared to branch out but this was so worth)#I think instead of the marker shading over the hair 'colour' I shoulda hatched thinner over it with the lineart colour or smth #oh well #I'd say I'll figure out how to colour his eyes someday but... that would mean learning how to draw the sky LOL #I love how in the anime his eyes are deadass just... a skybox overlayed onto them.... what ingenuity #god... remember that 'colour of the sky' meme that went around like a decade ago? .... man im old LMFAO #anyway that but Gojo's eyes i guess #also anyway something something 'I have to re-learn how to draw for the 1000th time because I take long breaks in between drawing urges'#but also... my arch nemesis returns: anime spiky hair.....#why is it so difficult to make look right????? how do u guys manage this?????? what am I missing #I think ive been doing a lot of these screenshot redraws because they are quick and I don;t have to think much about it?#I also can't hate myself for a stiff pose or me drawing the exact same OC stuff 10k times so I end up liking stuff more often????#(also it's practice drawing characters I like too so... bonus? hahaha)

tfw u whip up a weirdly good sketch first try for a meme u saw and wanted to fill-in, but... realize it doesn't really work for/apply to said OC so now it feels like a waste of a good sketch shgfhdf

so now im posting it standalone to salvage it cuz aaaaaaa

#sketch #doodle #oc #original character #myart #Maiko Asukai #idr if I already name revealed my edgy JJK OC but if not... now I have lmfao #was filling this out and almost lowballed the 'needs therapy' stat... then remembered how insane her motivations/actions are... lmfao #violence stat however? maxed out no questions asked zero doubts in my mind hfghdsf #anyway been back into DS2 lately with Maiko as a character cuz I wanted to try a katana build... finally GOT the dang thing last night #they really put Pyromancy and the Uchigatana THAT far in huh #fortunately aside from a bit of a rocky start it's been going p smoothly?#straight sword +1 was carrying my ass until I got the uchigatana and somehow it WORKED REALLY WELL #either that or im getting even better at Souls games... who knows...#(rare moment I will toot my own horn)#(I will 1000% pay for this hubris later)#i have now ported Maiko into... well... she started out as an Elden Ring character tbth #then I put her into JJK for fun/an outlet... then I put her into DS1 and now DS2 #DS1 just lacks the drip man... fashion souls is hard when u have so few options #and I say this like I haven't left her in the literal default outfit u get regardless of class u pick LOL #IT'S A GOOD LOOK THO

haven't doodled Rumi in a while 🥴 so here's a v quick one (running on vibes™️)

as per usual, more context (if ur nosy) on the bluesky post's alt text! been lazy with this on tumblr lately so I apologize for the inconvenience dfhdjf

#sketch #doodle #oc #original character #myart #Rumi Sugimoto #VERY scribbly but sometimes u run on just vibes and it turns out in some ways #in this case... expression is king and I love it sjhgdsjf #I like the idea of a p stoic character having a small character 'break' when they're having a moment of confidence #(spending enough time around Nobara must have some girl power empowerment energy... right?)

been a while since I did a fashion campaign study with an OC

thought the pose was cute and the shawl thing looked cozy, so here I am, drawing Miriam in it lol

#artists on tumblr #sketch #oc #art study #(but like fashion/photography art not painting art)#miriam amell #myart #I sent it to a friend after melting my eyes to it all day and most of last night and go figure... instantly noticed a bazillion things wron #but i am not fixing them now cuz I wanna move ON >:')#trying to remind myself at bare minimum it'll help me with poses/materials/drapes and stuff even without me noticing #even if it is not a great end result ya know??? (I say this I still really like it just not anatomically or direct comparison-ly lol)#my mom actually had a page from a magazine pinned on a corkboard foreverrrr and it was the same model who was in this #i remember browsing the fashion campaign archive I use and seeing that exact picture and I was like :O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOSTALGIA #*same model who was in this as in - the page my mom had was a diff picture and campaign but same model #i feel like I phrased that v weirdly lol v tired brained #when I reference fashion ad campaign stuff for poses or even runway looks for a study I always try to write the details on the sketch #because I WOULD forget 99% of the details if I didn't unless it's a designer i could recognize at a glance #even then... no way I'd nail year and season reliably lol

resolved my 'haven't been daydreaming about Toji and my OC lately' dilemma, now I can rest easy (?)

jk, I still wanna rewatch his arc for the like 6th+ time

(slight bit of added context over on the bluesky post for this, if ur nosy)

#sketch #doodle #oc #miriam amell #myart #so scared to tag canon characters because my brain is like 'no one cares about fanart with ur OCs in it loser lol'#and this is a hurdle I struggle with constantly smh #I have the same problem with writing fics it's why I haven't published anything in like 3 years lmfao #in my head it's like 'people won't read it if it's an oc x canon... they want reader-inserts or nothing at all'#so I just... don't write them anymore because I just wanna do OC stuff... but brain keeps telling me no one will read it so what's the poin #all the power to u writers and artists who just go all-in on ur OC stuff and not care what ppl think... I both envy and am in awe of u #anyway call me dumb but figured out how to do small text on here which is nice for linking stuff imo #so that is good at least hahaha

no one asked but the only two (2) times i've drawn Him(tm), he has this very specific cringe-smile and it was cracking me up yesterday while looking at sketch pages from a couple months ago

(added context/over-analyzed my own thought process in the alt text over on bluesky if ur nosy lol)

#myart #sketch #doodle #I dont post enough but I DO have a bunch of scribbles/doodles I've never posted that I still sorta like...#just got too embarrassed/shy to share OC-stuff for a while even tho that's like 90% of what I draw hahaha #no clue how to tag this because im used to Ao3 having “in-between” tags (idk how else to vaguely describe it lol)#also not using the jjk tag either to be extra cautious but... still... makes it difficult hgfhgdsf #I should draw him more... there's some VERY good (imo) fics out there characterization-wise #like do u ever realize u have a niche/characterization u really love in a character u don't find THAT often but can't get enough of??#me with this guy tbh #I also just like the dynamic of the curse group being weird AF in their downtime and he and my OC just... questioning existence lolol #I like when people write him with a very like... clinical (?) level of detachment/interest in things... like extremely impersonal #but still with a personal interest/investment... just not in the actual 'people' involved in said interests and more in the potential resul #idk I JUST KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT AND I ENJOY IT GREATLY #maybe 'scientific' woulda been a better way to describe it over 'clinical'... but maybe u get what Im trying to describe hahaha

Toji scribble because I miss him and haven't rewatched his eps in a while ;u;

also cropped weird because I do not know how to draw abs and really need to work on that, given that muscles are sorta his thing lmfao

#sketch #doodle #toji fushiguro #myart #i was like blushing at this for the first 5 minutes cuz of his smirk... idk why i am like this but I need to CHILL lmfao #also the brushwork is weird because it's a brush I got yesterday im not sure I like lmao... for sketching sure but shading?? not so much #I haven't even been daydreaming about him and my OC... been focused on diff ships for her smh...#that's how I know it's been too long since I rewatched this arc fr

drew my oc Miriam in a study of a dress I liked from Alexis Mabille's F/W '24 couture collection

spent WAY too long on it and ended up being frustrated with it BUT... I still like it :')

the dress was a fun take on the two-piece illusion(?) style dresses I like! (idk fashion terms anymore but maybe u get the idea lol)

#artists on tumblr #oc #original character #miriam amell #study #myart #sure is a shame the designer used generative shit for the current season (spring 2026)#imagine instantly losing all ur credibility for the single most boring and uninspired collection of ur entire career #but I digress... already had to stop myself from ranting on bluesky about it when posting this there lmfao #at least this collection I can still appreciate the design aspects ;u;#the deep neckline with the lapels (?) turning into a capelet style thing???? love it #the simple but elegant skirt with the button detailing to emphasize the asymmetry on an otherwise symmetrical (but angular) design??#*chef's kiss*#to quote the blog I linked where I saw this first: 'like you were good! why!!!'#also ignore the clutch okay... I wanted to give her smth to hold as an accessory but used zero refs and it SHOWS BADLY lmfao #ive never paid handbags or clutches attention much and I am kind of regretting it now...#but we all start somewhere at some point right? hahaha

been sketching Miriam a lot because she's the OC I toss into literally everything all the time and I'm trying to remember how to draw (again) lmfao

#sketch #doodle #oc #miriam amell #myart #these are very rough and not anatomically good (TM) buuuuut I just need practiceeeee T_T #i say it every time I post but I dead-ass have to re-learn how to draw my own characters since I take like two+ week-long breaks #(I don't have daily/constant urges to draw... never have and it shows lol)#that said... I need to do studies again and also figure out how to shade with either this brush or a diff one lol #haaaAAaaated how I shaded the jacket but I think that's a consequence of the brush tbh cuz everything else is fine to me??#i haven't been keeping up with JJK since I can't watch with my friend atm so im like 3 episodes behind now i think lmfao #but it's still floating around in my brain #rotates my OCs like inventory fish in RE4 #(her one shoulder is so squashed/short in the coloured sketch btw because I 100% sketched it right against the edge of the canvas lol)#(note to self: move the sketch earlier than that before committing smh)#toying with her having the hairstyle she has in DoL as her alternative... also dyeing it because she doesn't like the attention #...which is funny cuz it arguably still draws tons of attention to herself but more towards her eyes/face lmfaooo #if u have read this far... I HAVE sketched other stuff than just this but I have not had confidence to post any of it hsagfshdj im sorry #overthinking has been the bane to my existence like... all year so far #like i haven't even been showing my friends directly... just haven't had confidence in anything urghhh

v messy first sketch of Nico Robin... I love her a lot :')

#fanart #nico robin #sketch #doodle #myart #One Piece is the show I've been watching with my friend alongside JJK... talk about tonal whiplash every week lmfao #Robin's design I already liked from fanart I saw from someone I followed but now I get to SEE her fr and like her even more #last attempt I ever made to watch One Piece was back in high school and I made it to Arlong Park before throwing in the towel lmfao #my friend is insisting we get thru all of it together (the One Pace version tho) so now I get to see beyond that #anyway this was also me messing around with a brush I downloaded... not sure I like it though I mean it's similar to other ones #bad for downloading like 30 brushes that are slight variations of each other at the end of the day...#have to be more ruthless with sorting thru them smh #also no one asked but this was actually going to be a doodle of my jojo OC but then I was like “wait Robin has the same bangs”#so I converted it..... sorry favata..... also probably why it looks a bit weird even tho I used a ref mid-way in lol #I wanna do a nicer drawing of Robin but for now I'm trying to be kinder to myself since I barely drew last month at all x_x #we are just past the Skypiea arc atm... which is wild... arlong park feels like it happened 1000 years ago hahaha

devilish-cherry

gently places this choso on your dashboard like a loaf of bread

#jjk #choso #!!! BEST BOY CHOSO !!!#in the name of the (blood) moon... he will punish u #his hair looks so soft and fluffy here aaa i love himb... gently weeping #other people's art #(realized I need to add that tag too because afaik we still can't like... exclude tags from search results on blogs lmfao whoops)

So I was listening to Game Grumps play Kitty Love while sketching last night and found out Mr. Saijo shares a VA with Geto............

NOT the crossover I anticipated but I could not stop laughing about it and needed to practice drawing Suguru anyway so, lmfao

#sketch #doodle #fanart #shitpost #geto suguru #myart #ive actually drawn geto before already but not in this much 'detail' lmfao (and didn't share it)#started out as me redrawing a screenshot and then I deviated and it probably shows xDDD #I'll figure out anime proportions someday.....#(I coulda done this with 'him' instead and it actually might make more sense/be less OOC but..... eh...)#4 of the 5 VA's I recognized from other stuff once I looked them up and two I KNEW the names were familiar #two others were both JoJo Part 5 characters lmfao (Doppio and Squalo) and ive forgotten the 4th one now whoops #(im sorry Geto - u may be problematic af but u do not deserve the Mr. Saijo treatment hsdgjfjdhhj)

trying to remember how tf to draw ;u;

everyone seems to bully Nanami for the haircut he had when he was in Jujutsu Tech as a student but I… honestly love his dumb lil emo boy hair lmfao

#sketch #doodle #fanart #nanami kento #myart #I love that the (fic-based) consensus seems to be that he is horrified to ever be reminded of this hairstyle #he has such a pretty face though... it makes him intimidating AF to draw and this is my first time having confidence to even try #I gotta do main show Nanami too at some point tho... man aged like a fine wine (I guess... i don't actually like wine lmfao)#I read the funniest crack fic last night at like 6am with no sleep and their Nanami and Choso was the best I stg lmfao
