Art and Whatnot

Sofstar1's art blog - a mysterious, desolate place where art appears once every thousand years.

HM well that settles it, I’m going to leave Tumblr

Of course just when this data nonsense looked bad, in True Tumblr Fashion it got even worse

It’ll be gradual, I won’t be leaving immediately! I’ll start unfollowing people except for the little group that’s kept me here so long in the first place. I’ll still be reblogging fanart for a while to leave comments in tags and stuff, but I’m going to try and quiet down my presence here and move to Twitter like I should have done like a year ago

Here’s my new Twitter again (Sofstar_art) for anyone who wants to follow me there!

Guess it’s about time I broke the news on this blog, too. The thought of potentially having my data sold on to 300+ companies with no option to opt out is really stressing me out. That being said, I’m really not sure if I want to post any more art here. This blog will be here to stay no matter what, but if you want to catch any of my new stuff, go check out Sofstar_art on Twitter, or Sofstar on DeviantArt!

Started a paired cosplay run with a friend ft. Leonhard and Heysel! So here’s a few extremely quick and lazy doodles based on (mostly) true events of our adventures so far

I finally got around to making an arcane build in BB, so here she is with her friends!!

I haven’t found her very good blood gems yet so she doesn’t hit very hard, but she tries her best. She wanders around the chalice dungeons helping out any hunters she comes across

I think I understand why I like these two so much now

I need a new icon for my main blog so uhhhh here he is

(I can’t imagine why anyone else would want this lazy thing as their icon but on the off chance you exist out there somewhere, you can use it as long as you 1) let me know and 2) give proper credit to this blog where it’s easily seen k thanks I’ll be checking)

Been thinking about pre-horse Ludwig again, so here’s a few sketches with a sprinkling of headcanons ft. baby Cavalier before he became the Cavalier, teeny tiny Laurence, and badly drawn Logarius

Ludwig’s outfit changes every time I draw it

[sofs-art]

Holy shit, I just recently found you and I absolutely love your Bloodborne art, especially of sad horse man Ludwig!

GOODNESS, WHATThat's unbelievably sweet of you, I've never gotten a message like this before;; Ludwig's a mess and I always have a lot of fun drawing him. Thank you so much! ;u;

So... can I ramble for a bit about my favourite part of Ludwig’s design?

His face is quite clearly divided in half, with the left-hand side being more ‘‘‘‘human’’’’, and the right being considerably more beastly. This extends beyond just his face, too; there’s that great big eye-mouth on the right of his neck for a start, his right forearm is covered in longer fur, and his right hand is bigger and has much longer claws. He holds his sword, the very thing that brought him back out of beasthood, in his left hand (hooray for lefty Ludwig!), and maybe it’s just me, but his left eye looks like it clears up a bit in his second phase, too.

But it’s how each half is presented in-game that I think is really cool. In his first phase, he tends to hold his head at an angle and close to the ground, so you can only really see its right-hand side - his ‘beast’ side. But then in the cutscene that plays between phases, the only side of his face that’s shown is the left side, showing that he’s human again. At the battle’s end, his head is on the ground resting right-side-up as he gives his last few lines of dialogue, before falling back into beasthood for good. In the words of our good friend Simon - the poor brute...

HEY EVERYONE HAVE YA HEARD THE NEWS

NPC slider data is out!! We have Henryk’s canon face!!!

(Except I gave him grey hair instead, shhhh, don’t tell anyone)

[sofs-art]

I must say... I’m quite pleased with how this one’s going...........

[sofs-art]

I was fighting some church giants the other day, and as I thought about how their outfits could be similar to what Ludwig’s looked like, I came to the very sudden realisation that I’ve never seen anyone draw him in a hat. Ever.

So here he is.

With a hat.

I know, I know, uploading Inktober drawings at the end of November is bad, but I haven’t had time until now-- I think it’s about time I accepted that I’m not going to get to the end of it this year ^^;;

Here’s Kos and the last few that I didn’t quite finish anyway, with Eve for ‘Furious’, Link at the Dueling Peaks for ‘Trail’, and Chappy for ‘Blind’  =u=b

Next two prompts, featuring a good but very bloody hunter, and Papa Nier cloudgazing with Emil!

....... what a contrast

Inktober continues!
