but it's not how october is.

ART SIDEBLOG//oh god why am i doing this//also found at either of those https://linktr.ee/sahaqielart

[sahaqielart]

uhhhhhhhhhh maybe i should make an intro post actually. idk why i barely get any interaction here and i also barely post but. maybe it will be useful

name: qi (or sahaqiel if you feel like typing that out every time lol)

age: 20+ (i am not updating this post every year and as we all know once you're on tumblr you're on tumblr forever. pointing it out in case nsfw art ever comes up)

main: @seaweed-official (this is the art sideblog)

what i draw: not much rn bc im dying of masters degree. mostly ocs. that one cool oblivion piece was a one time thing unless that particular obsession comes back again and if you ignore multiple versions posted. i generally don't do fanart

how i draw: pretty much just mechanical pencil on paper with also some watercolors. ye olde classic that's never let me down. procreate for digital (i do have clip studio on my laptop and a display tablet i just don't have the desk space to have it out all the time and therefore i forget about it or don't feel like setting it up)

PLEASE SEND ASKS FOR ASK GAMES ANYTIME I DON'T CARE HOW OLD THE POST IS PLEASEEEEEEEE

had this vague concept of a string of pearls wrapped around/hanging off an outstretched arm and decided to give it a go with @amatres 's Lenore (also bc it was definitely influenced by the Lenore as madam x piece it is so cool) uhh im learning some things (that i should go darker on the shading for one) but it was really fun! and hopefully ill have more time to do some art soon but i still have 2 (well. technically 3) exams to get through so we'll see if i have any energy left by the time im done haha

And a week before pride month

[luck-system-shenanigans]

i feel like im a weird age where i got just a blurry glimpse at the world Before. it used to be cold in the mornings and websites had fun games and the search results showed you what you searched for. covid wasn't a thing. can anybody fucking hear me. did i dream it all????

[sahaqielart]

i caved and did a quick doodl of themmy based on the mii version i made today. next time im putting them in the crop top and shorts i just couldn't resist the green cyberpunk outfit lol

[sahaqielart]

ok whatever im done. have a post. @villain-vanilla obligatory tag for psyche reasons. k bye

[sahaqielart]

crawling out of the lab to bring you a little snippet of a wip

and it's yet another psyche for @villain-vanilla (the wip wednesday one. originally i wanted to just slap some flat color. watercolors specifically and then i changed my mind and made my life more complicated than it ever needed to be)

i actually finished her side of the piece and i am. weirdly proud of that arm but at the same time it's so weird to see her without the makeup lol. also this was supposed to be a christmas gift. that i am just now finishing in may. artfight is looking grim for me this year

i am also. dreading the eden side bc i have absolutely no idea what to do with the colors. i should have thought things through. oh well. at least im adding colors in procreate so i can fix them lol

[stupidestasshole]

THE TRUTH: art is inherently manipulative and artists are wicked evildoers who like to power trip off of controlling other people's emotions

[sahaqielart]

[guy who has like 12 more important things to do voice] yeah sure let's post an old sketch why not

i'd say im back on my oblivion bullshit but as i said. it's an old one. the only reason im posting it now is bc i remembered it's in this sketchbook and i feel like it's pretty good and the only reason it is better than most of my sketches is the two early versions done on post it notes stuck on the previous page. i never do that. i probably should tho. i hope everyone who followed this blog for something else can at least enjoy this or something even though my phone camera yet again made the face blurry-

also im probably the only one who liked the dress version of sheogorath's regalia from the original oblivion even if i agree that forcing the female player characters into dress versions of various outfits kinda sucks as a choice lol

[sahaqielart]

you know what.

perhaps you can have this actually. version 2.0 new and improved (unlike my photography skills or phone camera lol) and uh. if you saw the original im sorry. wasn't sure about posting it at all due to reasons but. maybe at least someone will look at it now or something idk. maybe it's not as good as i feel it is or you know what i should stop rambling now

outsourced the tattoo design to @villain-vanilla bc i am not good with that. might make some minor tweaks but. idk i just really wanted some DNA design elements [← guy studying genetics moment]. not canon to nil's run but come on i had to. how am i supposed to remain normal after reading this:

uhhhh pinterest sourced pose reference under the cut and that's it from me

[sahaqielart]

rare and elusive (nearly) 1 am post before i lose my nerve. have some random extremely low quality scribbles that have been haunting me for the past two days. guilty hospital ending and mitski's i'm your man my beloved..........

[seaweed-official]

wip wednesday time!!!!!

tagged by @eden-evercrisp tysm 💖 however im not tagging anyone specifically bc. u also tagged the only person i'd ever tag in stuff lol sorry. im going with the open tag thing of If You Wanna Do It Then Do

also i usually post art stuff on my art sideblog ( @sahaqielart ) but it's a wip and this is where ive been tagged so. since ive never been tagged in this before idk what the etiquette is. just leaving it there if ur interested in where i sometimes post stuff

and now for the long awaited wip:

eden and @villain-vanilla 's psyche. i owe them a psyche doodl since christmas. this has been a wip for at least two months. i am so sorry and it will keep happening again and again and-

i really like ye olde ad posters (Alphonse Mucha's work and also. there's a whole bunch of casino de paris posters on pinterest for some reason) so the outfits are vaguely based on that. they look really good with dynamic poses or just raised arms with strings of beads and loose fabric and all that. but i need to fix some stuff here. also the line is from a song as always bc i am not immune to a good song lyric (song is wall of shame by byron)
