And it's done. The piece that broke the art block. I'm so incredibly proud of this and I've been itching to finish it all week.

Process gif and some rambling beneath the cut

I stated this piece really fighting my brain to just draw something, anything. I had exactly 0 composition ideas and I was really winging it from start to finish. The first 5 steps of the gif were drawn on an airplane where I had no references so I just had to draw from memory. Not having references also meant that I had to manually choose my colors and that was fun. I think if I hadn't nailed the color palette at this point this would never have been finished.

After I landed and was able to grab references I began rendering the waves (Ivan Aivazovsky paintings my beloved) and was originally trying and failing to add a boat into the composition (which was still square at this point). The gif shows one boat but there were many in various places. Note to self, don't draw water before you try to put a boat in that water!

Landed on the lighthouse (did the perspective wrong, later fixed that, not understanding my perspective was probably the cause of the boat problems), changed the design of the dragon to be whale inspired, and eventually added the baby looking at the lighthouse keeper so the story of the piece strengthened.

The lighthouse introduced a problem that I may or may not have successfully solved: the bright yellow of the artificial lighting really stands out and draws your eye away from the dragons. I gave the lighthouse keeper a yellow coat to try and counter act this, as well as giving the dragons bright yellow eyes.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the contrast of blues/purples and yellows to really make the subjects pop. The only thing I'd probably change if I could do it again would be to make the crests of the waves lest bright, especially where they were crashing onto the rocks because they're too bright (see greyscale below). Unfortunately when I render water it's more or less all on one layer so fixing that was not possible.

Hope you like it :)

I’ve been obsessed with this tiktok for days now

[coffeedcait]

Person: "Hello sir." he pets the frog with one finger.

Person: "Have a good day. Actually wait a minute. You missed a bug, but I got you home boy. Hold on." he picks a bug up and throws it next to the frog.

Frog: turns around and eats the bug.

Person: "OHHHHH-" sings high pitched and angelic like he witnessed a miracle.

surely this is a sign that there’s nothing in particular wrong with the atmosphere right now

What if Erid invented intergalactic fast travel

I don't support Eva bashing that's emotional support environmental terrorist right there. What I'm interested in is the bad pr she is giving earth because the eridian ambassador is too invested in his flesh teddy bears life.

No because this is how every Howl/Sophie interaction plays out in the book

I love both the book and movie dearly but Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite books so I'm a little biased and I'm Normal about the things that I like
