Three prosecutors and one lawyer for ants. I've been watching SaveDataTeam play Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney lately and it's inspired me to revisit these guys!

I personally will not be taking requests for this one as I’m trying to focus on getting commissions so I can afford a new computer~

What the hey, I’ll need something to do besides man tiddy March. Mostly Trek appreciated, but I’ll draw other series, too, so long as I’ve seen them. Can be pairings.

Counselor Deanna Troi from earlier because I bought myself a pocket sized sketchbook today. I'm giving myself no choice but to do art!! Every day!!! Aahhhhh!!!!

A tutorial on meatspace I made for my patrons last year! Making things exist in the same space believably is a difficult process, but hopefully this will help drawing softbodied subjects interacting together a little easier!

A tip for blending when painting digitally: use a transition color! I quickly made this when my brother asked for art advice while I was working on a painting for my best friend. (I was watching a lot of makeup videos to pick out her gifts).

I hecking love the way you draw turians, how do you do it

Thank youuu  I do my best ^_^  . It’s a type of blood magic, jk. Here is a really terrible and quick walkthrough on how I draw turians,

[kauriart]

YO I just found your blog and instantly fell in love with your style. Any tips for nailing that balance between realistic and stylized?

<3 Awwwww. Thank you!! :) And… Yep.It’s all about that. Balance. More focused, and rendered areas that contrast the sketchy parts. I also think that “style” is overrated. It’s something that stresses younger artists out because they haven’t found it yet, but it’s honestly something that happens naturally over time. It’s basically a consistant, visual shortcut. (I work in Photoshop btw)

Step 1 Sketch & linework – keep the sketch on a separate layer so you can trash it afterwords. Work as quick and fast as you can, and keep it LOOSE. I swear to God this is at least half of where the effort is spent.

Step 2 I set the linework to multiply & lay in the flat color and 2 sets of shadows with a hard-ish brush, then use a suuuuper soft one to add in the blushing – most opaque where the blush is most obvious, but really, it goes practically every where. Then I set the blush layer to linear light (or overlay, or soft light, whichever looks best) and knock it waaaay back. Do not fear hard-edged shadows, cast shadows should be pretty sharp, where form-shadows are much softer.
