The sequel rewrote my brain chemistry so I hit a bunch of characters I love with the "Dreamy Gear" ray!
For those unaware, "Mefilin" is the (🎉canonically!!!!🎉) speculated "good heart" inside Genwel Meteonelfilis.
Because I'd drawn him like this even before the SCW novel confirmed his potentiality, I dearly love putting Melfy in this form. Also he's just easier to draw then Genwel!
Saw that other folks here were making fanart for @jojo-schmo's second Star-crossed World stream (specifically "the figure" reaction) and I had to add on because I WAS one of the people foaming at the mouth telling her I needed her to get that figure in chat.
(I hope it’s okay to add some that helped me a lot)
The time you put into unfinished work, or work that didn’t turn out the way you wanted, isn’t wasted. No matter what, that experience will stay with you and help you on future projects.
You are always improving, even if it doesn’t feel like it.
Don’t be afraid to try something different. Even if it turns out poorly, you’re learning, and learning is good.
You can always try again later.
Don’t throw away your art. When you look back on it in the future, it will help you see how far you’ve come, and you might even find yourself more proud of it in the future than you feel right now.
Long breaks won’t erase the skill you’ve gained, and taking time to rest and do different things will help in the long run.
If you post something and it doesn’t get a lot of interaction, that isn’t a reflection of the value of your work.
When you create, create for yourself first and foremost.
Years from now, you will be able to do things you never thought you could.
We haven't had trick-or-treaters where I live for the last 15+ years so this year, I decided to spend my evening more productively, making my own Halloween treats: Character-themed Icing Cookies!
And who better for this spooky holiday than Marx?!
First thing's first, I drew up a simple "pattern"
I printed it out at the appropriate size and traced an outline around it so the icing will stay within the boundaries of the cookie.
Now to trace that pattern onto a hard plastic sheet I can use as a model to saw out my cookie dough with!
Oops. Plastic I choose was too hard.
It split in two when I was trying to cut out the eyes.
...Classic Marx...
I used a thinner and more flexible sheet of acetate and presto!
The dough is just your standard icebox cookie dough.
Into the fridge it goes for an hour!
Roll it out, use a knife to cut around my pattern and place the resulting cookies in the oven. Thirteen minutes later...Marx(s)!
I used a food pen and slowly disassembled my paper print-out Marx to trace the necessary lines on the finished cookies.
.
...It's how he would have wanted to go...
Look at these cuties! (??)
Now for a dozen small bags of royal icing. So far, so good!
Also, see that Marx in the corner?
Remember him. (Because I sure didn't.)
T-this is fine...
.
.
.
How did they turn out in the end? Well...
This one I call "ice cream bar face" Marx.
(I attempted to draw a mouth with the wrong icing thickness)
This next one I was smart and just used the food pen again.
A good boy. A funny little grape.
Let's try the food pen again, shall we?
.
O-oh... T-the uh... icing on this one did NOT settle right...
I'm...so sorry...
.
What about the last one...? Well, the last one I literally forgot about until I had run out of icing. So, I took the food pen and...
...He is now the best looking of the Marx (plural)
Just...not the most delicious.
in light of the recent surge in chatgpt-written posts i have instead set my sights on another form of generative technology: the humble 8-ball. check this out
Was listening to Shunkan Sentimental by SCANDAL at like 10 p.m. and stayed up until 4 a.m. to work on this. I didn't finish it right away tho, I still had to sleep.
