Mostly my stabs in the dark at art, these days

MMC from the book I've been working on. I need to figure out how to do a quick animation of his mask fading in and out

true queer pain

[verityontheothersites]

#yes they do#but the trick is to wear them while you're just sitting around the house#because even that will help stretch out the leather#then every thirty minutes get up and pace#(ive broken in three pairs of docs this way)#repeat until your feet start to hurt and then take them off for the rest of the day#also: make sure to work in your toebox crease by just standing on your tiptoes for a few seconds to a minute#i find that stretching out the toebox specifically hrlps the most wrt pain#and then when you finally feel comfortable enough to go outside with your docs on#cover your heel with blister bandages because that's the next crease you're going to need to work into the leathear and it only comes#after walking a lot#also: at one point you will think that your docs are broken-in enough to go on a really long walk#this is the devil speaking#it is too soon#and another thing: conditioning the leather with wax will make the leather softer and help stretch them out as well#so drop some money on the wonder basalm (or a similar leather conditioner) and condition your boots every couple of days

@cordsycords bringing some priceless advice here

are we in a toxic relationship with doc martens

For real though my broken in docs are the MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES like I own multiple pairs of fancy hiking shoes and boots also and the docs are just top tier comfort wise now. Good advice on the breaking in process if anyone is also wanting the Best Boots custom molded to your feet forever.

Cross connecting social media~

Hey friendos, I made my bluesky into an actual active place! If you're on there too let's connect. I'll be posting older art there for a bit as well as anything new I make, but I have no intention of abandoning tumblr and will put anything new I make here too.

If I had a tail I'd wrap it around yours when we sit together. If u even care

If I had wings I'd use them to shelter you from the rain. By the way

geisha-style Cissnei in action

This was fun! in honor of FFVIICC's birthday, my favorite FFVII side character from that game.

[lightningdrawn]

Cissnei FFVII Rebirth design

Still totally thrilled my best girl had so much screen time in the new game <3 Hoping to see her in Ever Crisis eventually.

Geisha Cissnei

My headcanons are full of Cissnei doing undercover missions basically anywhere and needing to adapt to a variety of settings. I did this sketch a while ago but refined/colored it since I liked the attitude in it!

[lightningdrawn]

Zack looking kinda serious

Inspired by a mod that scrolled past on here last week. maybe the week before that. Time isn't real, right?

[lightningdrawn]

Balto of the Turks AKA Katana

This guy! I'm probably going to try to do portraits in this style of all of the Turks (ha ha oh no ambition). Who should be on my list?

[lightningdrawn]

Tifa and Aerith at the beach

Okay so when I asked my friends what to draw next it was pointed out to me that it's apparently AerTi week and I love their beach date. Here they are with more fun (for me) with drawing various EverCrisis outfits.

Freyja of the Turks!

I made this sketch ages ago and decided to color it because I'm on a kick of refining/coloring really rough sketches so here we go let's ignore that I can't draw guns!

I really wish Ever Crisis had some Before Crisis content too, that'd be fun.

[lightningdrawn]

Bye, Summer.

There's something kind of bittersweet about the end of it! So I drew these guys. I HC that Tseng's the one taking the picture.

Shaking off the rust

Some FFVII doodles inspired by different Ever Crisis outfits. I haven't drawn anything in a while so just leaning into the hyperfixation to get going again. I don't like the gameplay of EverCrisis but man is it fun to have different outfits for everybody. Vincent in particular seems to be living rent free in all of fandom's gothy Turk-esque outfits and I am living for it.
