Some of the very first digital art shading practices I did back when I finally managed to save up enough money to get a *super fancy* 5-inch Wacom drawing tablet and Photoshop 7. 2004 or 2005, I think.
First was an underwater merman. Second was some kind of Decorate-This-Car contest Honda had that I was just having fun being creative with. Third is nobody in particular, I used separate references for the eyes, nose, mouth, face shape, and hair and just put them all together.
Back in the late '90s and early '00s, before social media really started to spread, most young people registered their own URLs and paid for hosting space. iframes had just hit the scene, and since everyone was hand-coding their own blogs and linking to friends' blogs anyway, those of us in fandom spaces started our own fan networks. Many of us would have 3 to 5 fanlisting pages (those still exist btw), a few fancy pages dedicated to our favorite anime or manga characters, and of course our art or fanfiction.
Notice my bookmarks bar has a bookmark for MySpace.
My version of the dual-trees-and-moon logo for a friend's indie music and merch business back in the early 2000s, Rock Life, Inc. Also, one of many designs I made while spitballing t-shirt images.
Based on William Wetmore Story's 1894 sculpture Angel of Grief, a grave marker for his wife. Yeah, I was going through some shit in the 90's.
Guess who just found a long-buried folder called "DeviantArt" full of art they did in their late teens? Not gonna lie, I was going THROUGH it from 14 through 25. Could this possibly have anything to do with puberty hitting and me feeling like my body was all wrong, the world may never know.
I've done exactly one (1) Mer-May piece ever and it was Adam and Shiro.
Of course, here's my favorite piece I did featuring Kuro and Curtis. Might redraw this someday.
I did do one or two Keith and Lance pieces, but tbh, I wasn't terribly interested in them.
Remember the first tablet I got when I was trying to figure out how color works
Random pencil and paper Shiro and Adam sketches, having nothing to do with anything.
I wrote a whole fix-it fic series with Adam joining the Paladins and he refused to be seen with nothing but Spandex over his junk.
Bonus:
Same fic series Shiro, fresh out of desperately needed therapy and ready to kick your ass with the new organic arm Allura learned to make from quintessence:
I don't remember how this image came about because I never wrote or read about Adam and Shiro being parents in fanfics. I think I just saw a random stock photo reference.
Unfinished sketchies of Shiro and Adam dancing.
POV: you leave the Halloween party to find out your boyfriend got a parking ticket.
Addendum:
When your boyfriend survived the galra invasion (FUCKYOUCANON) and you let him fly your lion.
Adam just strikes me as someone who'd want to play a Necromancer.
Bonus: Shiro's Paladin twin Kuro fucking around elsewhere with a Rogue Curtis who doesn't understand character creation;
From pencil to line art to color. Weirdly enough, even though my detail and finished line art looks better digital, I do better with pencil and paper to get the initial composition shape down.
Shiro and Adam, late night dance in the kitchen.
