In honor of Season 2 coming out in a couple days have this very short and silly animatic I started a year ago when Season 2 began filming and never uploaded to tumblr. Can't wait to see them reunited for real.

sound on for this one if you're able!

As you wish 🗡🫀

Back with more old stuff I forgot to post on here, this time with a Princess Bride crossover drawing

Your art is joy, it's warm sunlight rising you in the morning, it's the thrum of the bass reverberating though you at a musical festival where youve fallen for a band you've never heard of, it's triumphant and I want to thank you with all my heart.

Like I fully snorted hot chocolate out my nose when I read the glorious gorillaz iasip masterpiece

this is so kind thank you <3 very glad and touched to know that my little drawings make you happy :,)

Do you mind if your art’s used for icons with credit? Thanks in advance for replying 🖤

I don't mind at all! Thanks for checking :)

Just some little tender sketches that I colored

[pluto-drive]

your pfp is so cool what's the original art? is it you/an oc/a character from something?

ty! its just a one off character that I sketched, they don't have a backstory or anything. I do remember that their outfit was inspired by one of Magenta's looks from Rocky Horror though.

Another Viago because I’m rotating him constantly in my mind

The sword placement in that duel art... I see you

I mean... it was based on *that* scene

Hey what kind of brushes/programs do you use? Your use of color and texture is splendid :)

Thank you so much!! I use Procreate and mostly just two brush-packs. Links + info under the cut! :)

The first is the Jingsketch Basic 10 pack that you can find here. I really like all of the brushes but my favorites are the Soft Chalk brush, (I used it for the lineart and most of the painting for my pirate husbands piece) and the Edge Control brush, which is really nice for adding grainy texture.

The second pack I use is Ahmed Aldoori’s Photoshop Brushes, but they work in procreate too. Im not entirely sure if this is the correct link because some of the names are different to the one I have downloaded, but I really only use two brushes from this one which are the Flat Textured and this second one.

As for basic procreate brushes I only really use the Narinder Pencil. I kind of use all of my brushes interchangeably for painting and linework, and like to mess around with using a bunch of different brushes whilst painting to add variety.
