#ocs #original character #artwork #digital art #slightlyslothdraws #illustration #I have so much I wanna accomplish this year but I don’t want to spoil any of it and risk jinxing it 🤞#let’s just say I’m planning to be more serious about my art and leave it at that for now

It’s Halloween so you know what that means! Owl house art!!!! Not spooky this year just a wholesome moment between the siblings of all time

#ngl was expecting her to do this all s3 once she got a crown on her hat so had to draw it #the border was inspired by an artist I have prints from that I got at a comic con but they don’t have their name on them and I’m not at #at home rn to reverse image search for them #they’re Hunter x Hunter prints if anyone else recognises them #the owl house #toh season three #toh fanart #toh #luz noceda #king clawthorne #toh king #slightlyslothdraws #digital art #artwork #artist on tumblr #halloween

You’ll never guess what I started watching… Can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone talk about these shows together

+ bonus Abaddon screenshot redraw

#Alison about to be real grateful she ONLY has the ghosts to deal with and they’re invisible to everyone else #if I had a nickel for every show about ghosts in an inherited failing hotel becoming found family I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot #but it’s weird it happened twice #I may or may not have scripts for a part 2 to this #it’s just such fertile ground for a crossover #haunted hotel #slightlyslothdraws #artwork #bbc ghosts #ghosts #poor Mary would have such a rough time tho between Abaddon and actual witch Esther #feel like Nathan and Pat would really get along

Been reading the Artemis Fowl books on the train to uni and just finished Opal Deception and OMG I AM GOING FERAL!!! It’s so fucking good man, probably my favourite so far, god I need to convert my friends into reading this series so I have people to talk about it with

#AAAHHHHHH #I know it’s a majorly successful series but somehow it still feels underrated #I read to book 3 when I was a teen but had to put them in storage for a while after moving so am getting back into them now #the biggest difference re reading the first books as an adult really is that now I think Artemis is adorable #one of the characters of all time #he’s so good #my shitty shitty lovely son #y’know between Artemis and Damian I really do have a character type I really enjoy huh #which is just overly sophisticated (ex) evil child genius with a fair bit of sass #GOD I hope Artemis gets therapy #artemis fowl #also low-key why he feel like an aro-ace icon #artemis fowl books #slightlyslothspeaks #planning to maybe to a YT vid designing the cast of Artemis fowl cause the hyperfixation is BADDDDD yall #also I think they could be potentially really fun designs

As someone who avoids doing backgrounds because I can't draw them, do you have any tips to make the process easier?

no 😭

Still working on landscapes but I’ve got a good hack for rooms!

Make the room in a 3D room builder first, I use an app called magicplan, but I’ve also seen people use sims 4 so feel free to use whatever. It doesn’t really matter if the furniture lines up with what you want it to look like because you’re mostly going to use it as floor plan.

Then take a screenshot of the 3D room at whatever angle you wanna draw the room at and then trace boxes over the top of the furniture - which will give you an accurate guide for perspective, once you’re done toggle the visibility of the screenshot. You’re just gonna want to draw the furniture over these boxes using them as a guide and boom! Room complete!

It’s been a real life saver for me ngl 😭😭

Feels weird doing self promo but I have a video where I talk about it if any of y’all learn easier through audio or smth, in any case I really hope this helps!!

#slightlyslothspeaks #the No is so real tho 😭 backgrounds have no right to be so hard

My redesigns of G1 Monster High boys! I wanted to try to make them as stylish as the girls or at least not look like the Elton John carpool meme next to them 😭

The full breakdown of these designs is up on my YouTube

Bonus under cut;

I’m changing my username cause I made it ages ago and used the word depressed to just mean sad (and as much as it can just mean that) I haven’t liked my username in a while. I worry it doesn’t necessarily read like that and I don’t want it to seem like I’m aestheticising or cutesifying a mental illness 🤷

Anyway this is mostly just a heads up so that you guys know what to search for my account and so that when ppl see my old watermark on old posts they still know it’s me

I’m sorry but I can’t take Tim and Ra’s rivalry seriously in Red Robin. Like how you gonna do a big villain monologue and then call your arch nemesis Timothy

#rip to all the Timothy’s out there but that is such an unserious name #sometimes your villain threatenly refusing to call the hero by their common nickname and full naming them doesn’t work #especially when their name is TIMOTHY #lovely name tonally incompatible to tense scenes to me I’m sorry #red robin #slightlyslothspeaks #<<< incredibly inconsequential and personal gripes about v normal names
