Hi! So, I was wondering if I could request to see some of your tattoo/piercing references for the glee vb au? 👀

hi anon i'm sorry this took me forever (i am a fool who somehow did not plan for this despite literally offering to share refs) but i have a batch here for u and also for me bc i'm so forgetful lol!!

tattoos:

dw too much about details, especially with britt's and kurt's! almost all of the tattoos are either small or fineline so unless u draw them up close it doesn't matter if they're actually clear or not lol i just like having detailed refs for myself

for what it's worth i didn't properly include it here but each of the notes in the matching furtana tattoo is like. a specific shape? it's more visible in this post

this tag is dedicated to kurt's sleeve if that's of any help too? but tbh most of the art that includes any of the tattoos is from before i redesigned literally all of them unfortunately

piercings:

red: piercings that are in there all the time/very rarely changed

blue: piercings that aren't always in/with earrings that are constantly getting switched out

santana doesn't always have the orbital conch in bc she plays with it when she's anxious and ends up irritating the piercing

britt really likes those asymmetrical dangly earrings for her lobes

i've done some digging and it does seem like fivb/olympic rules allow jewellery on the court but regardless i think all of the girls would stick to studs/small hoops or just taking most of them out whenever they're playing

also i now have this tag for vb au refs (which has literally one other post rn lol) so if u think u might need anything else or if anything here isn't clear pls do lmk!

2, 8 and 9 for the ask game

2. defend your favourite character in no more than 20 words

santana's a mess but she really went from bully to fiercely loyal friend and that's peak growth to me <3

8. you have to dress like one glee character for an entire year - who do you choose, and which specific outfits are you taking?

oh hmm... s2 santana i think? not so much the dresses but stuff like these fits

9. if you were forming a show choir, who would your 12 ideal members from the glee cast be? i can't stop you from picking less than 12, but if you do, you will NOT be eligible for competition entry

mercedes, santana, brittany, mike, tina, kurt, jesse, artie, sunshine, unique, jake, roderick? i feel like that's a solid mix of v strong vocals and some good dancers

14, 16, 20

14. pick a glee cast song to play every time you enter a room - what's your glee cast entrance music?

rn i think i'd want it to be home (s1) gcv? i might think of sth more fitting later but i adore that gcv it's so dear to me... also might as well make everyone listen to kristin chenoweth's voice yk?

16. your friend has asked to watch one single episode of glee to convince them to watch the rest of the show - which do you pick and why?

bad reputation! it's one of my biggest comfort episodes, it's just so silly and fun and i think everyone should experience run joey run gcv (especially with the entire music video) at least once in their lives

20. you can make one non-canon ship endgame - who are they, why did you pick them, and which canon ship are they having a double wedding with?

quinntina are basically canon to me already (s6 quinntina has such dating energy imo) so. they deserve that double wedding <3 kinda flip-flopping on whether i'd want them to share a wedding w brittana or w samcedes, i feel like it could go either way based on friendships and stuff? but i'm biased so i'm leaning towards a brittana-quinntina double wedding

Could you draw Uzi having some kind of wholesome interaction with a very young human child? Like, three or four? [Could just make the child a generic black silhouette with white eyes lol]

She is teaching them to be rebellious hehe

hi!! i feel like you may have talked about this before but out of curiosity, could you explain/talk about your kurt’s tattoos? :3

hi yes ofc i would love to!! i did in fact talk about it ages ago but i am always happy to say more and u picked a great time to ask bc i've been reworking all of the vb au tats so this isn't just a repeat of my previous post about it (except i never finished my official redesign of kurt's sleeve yet so i can't actually show u my reference)

for his sleeve i went the floral route with flowers that represent the most important relationships in his life, so it's intertwined ivy leaves and forget-me-nots wrapping around his arm (whether or not they actually look like the flowers they're supposed to be is a whole other thing lmao i think i get sloppier the more i draw them)

ivy symbolises fidelity, marriage and friendship - obviously u have to ignore the marriage part here bc this one is for finn and santana (furtana best friends and siblings fr <3)

forget-me-nots symbolise true love and respect, as well as the promise that u will always keep someone in ur thoughts - i always see this one as being primarily for his mom, but i think it probably does eventually extend to the entire hudmelpez clan

i also originally gave him a lil sun on his forearm for burt as a lil nod to you are the sunshine of my life gcv, which is kinda visible in some of the older drawings that have his tattoo but. i recently realised that i chose a really stupid placement for it so im gonna move the sun to his shoulder once i actually update my reference sheets. that being said i am realising right now that i still included the sun on his forearm in yesterday's post and that's devastating to me personally so pls pretend it's not there

and then the newest addition to kurt's tattoos is a very "u have to know where to look for it otherwise i think it's easy to miss it" but i did slip it into yesterday's post so! furtana matching tattoos my beloved let's talk about that one too <33

i think that things are extremely tense between furtana during the earlier stages of burt and carole's relationship (especially between kurt and the other 2) (not gonna really get into this rn bc it's not super relevant lol) so to me they do end up connecting over music and it remains a really important common interest for them over time despite their different tastes (in the sense that like. idk i think as duos they have more interests in common but as a trio they probably don't so music is a big thing for them) (i wish i could articulate this better but hopefully u get it) etc etc so. had to sit down and imagine what each of them drawing an eigth note would look like based on their handwriting (as one does i guess?) and then i figured it would be neat if they each had all 3 notes instead of just the one they drew so. matching tats for the siblings :)

(here's part of my unfinished reference sheet for that lol i think i still need to adjust stuff for the size/placement of finn's and santana's but kurt's is already figured out) (for artistic purposes i did actually change it from my original placement, which was closer to his ear) (i just wanted it to be a bit more visible in drawings lol)
