I need to get a new tag for sorting drawings since the most common ones are drowning in scam replies </3

Re-tagged my posts... navigation is in the pin, as always. If anything broke - my apologies o7

#rbw_txt #the things you have to do for peace of mind

Apparently I never shared my recreation of Le Chevalier aux Fleurs (Knight of the Flowers) by Georges Rochegrosse made for the Gavis Bettel Gallery project. So here it is! You can look at this and many other Bettel-themed paintings -> [here]

#rbw_pic #gavis bettel #holostars tempus #holostars en #all the way back from 2024!! dang! that's a long time to sit around in the archive

Guppet Show! (Like puppets but... you know...) Illustration I made for the Gavis Bettel World project! It's always a pleasure to draw for something made by such a wonderful community <3 You can check out the full project -> [here]

Continuation of me thinking way too much about how they keep referring to each other like they are parts of guilds or communities (ex: "That's Redstoner terminology" or "That's how Builders see it"). I keep thinking about the clothing they'd wear and how it would be linked to their "trade". That made me want to have all Redstoners wear aprons for protection and convenience. I think it would be cool if they all had one, but it was very personalized and fit the person's needs. Sort of a unifying visual for their designs but also to indicate a feeling of "belonging to something together". Lots more to think about.

And since I drew Tango here are some of my ideas for how to color him. I like giving him stained teeth even if it looks a little awkward

#rbw_pic #warming up a little #there will be a big post with “craft-specific” clothing items when i get around to drawing it all :)

I mean this in the best freakin way ever

Your artwork has the same vibes of experiencing old warrior cat animations for the first time

This is the funniest complement I've ever gotten, by far. I'm really glad that my stuff gives you that feeling.

Funny story actually, I used to be sooo scared of the more edgy animations people would post on youtube when I was little. Maybe that left an imprint? Whatever the case, thank you very much <3

#rbw_ask

alienssstufff

cuz I wanna know

ARISTS what inanimate object you personally find the most difficult to draw?

#shoes are my nemesis #that's why i keep giving people vague silhouettes of dress shoes or sandals #or make them go dogs out. need to fix this

what anime/manga do you use as style reference/inspiration? I need to know so I can go study it immediately and get as good as you holy shit

Thank you very much, I'm really happy that my drawings could make someone feel so motivated! :]

I bring terrible news - it's a big collection of various things. Here's sort of an overview:

I lost my mind over Inuyasha when I was in college and that show singlehandedly made me hard pivot my style into what it is today (the non-specific 90-2000s anime). I was so into the show in fact, that I had to stop watching it as to not miss my assignments. Thus, I've never finished it. Very embarrassing... Shoutout to Setteidreams, if you ever want to study the style of a show or a movie, definitely check it out, it's the best!

I'm a big fan of Kazuki Takahashi's early work on the Yu-Gi-Oh manga. Something about the style back then speaks to me, even though I do love the modern look of the franchise as well. Especially the faces, I absolutely adore the expressions.

Of course, I'm lifting a lot from one of my favorite mangaka ever - Hitoshi Ashinano. I can talk about his work all day. There's lots to learn, I really love the hatching. I'm a proud owner of complete editions of both Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and Kotonoba Drive.

#this is very long i apologize #regular posting after this i promise #rbw_ask #rbw_txt

New guy alert. This one doesn't have as many notes I feel like everything is pretty much self-explanatory

Bonus picture:

#rbw_pic #hermitcraft #grian #i would make him more mori kei if i could but alas didn't want to overcomplicate the design too much #i have a fun illustration idea so had to finally bite the bullet and finalize a design for him more or less #so expect that or maybe don't i might forget

Do we see the vision?

#sure whatever why not #normal man underneath the mask #hermitcraft #keralis #rbw_pic

My bug collection.

Taking inventory of the hermits I (sort of) have designs for so far

#rbw_pic #hermitcraft #geminitay #ethoslab #bdoubleo100 #bdubs #goodtimeswithscar #tangotek

Got myself a pack of 6 alcohol markers to play around with. Lined w/ ink, lightly cleaned up on the computer. Lots to learn still, but I'm having fun!

#rbw_pic #bdoubleo100 #bdubs #goodtimeswithscar #scar's resolution is very bad because he's a tiny drawing in my sketchbook my scanner can't capture him well #but i like him #i actually don't have a gray marker so bdubs' shirt is a little bit of post production magic #same with the dark green but that one i mixed on paper irl #wanted to collect more of these for a bigger post but in case i never do - here they are

Had some free time on my hands to join Brush Week! I chose to draw my website's mascot - Cyto. It's perfect for this, since they are an alien who can change color and shape however it pleases

Days 1, 2 and 3 :)

#rbw_pic #brush week 2025 #original characters #ocs #it was hard to come up with a space design for a character that's already space-themed #so i took major inspiration from space channel 5 #cyto isn't the kind of person to be a space idol. but a space interviewer? very likely #i'm not super happy with the plush maybe i'll revisit it...#rbw_cyto
