🌊 What’s the hardest thing for you to draw? 🎼 Your favorite music to draw to right now?

I'm doing alright, very tired from logging longer hours across the board at work, but at the very least it has turned me into more of a morning person... being that I have to get up at 5am most days now lol

Also, hope you're well <3

Now onto the asks:

What's the hardest thing for you to draw?

The cop out answer is hands, they're difficult, but I've learned a few tricks to make it a bit easier on myself.

The actual answer, though, is full body sketches, especially when two or more bodies are involved, because keeping things proportionate and nailing down perspective can be difficult, and makes you have to think really, really hard about each dimension of a person/character's body and their clothes, and all of that jazz.

Basically, if I do something in my more realistic style, like this;

It takes a significantly longer time to conceptualize, draft, and complete, although if I have enough brain rot at the time, I can do a lot more in less time.

However, the idea that the more intricate drawings take longer is also kind of a misnomer, because even when I draw in my doodle style, something simple like this;

Could take me a while to nail down simply because my energy levels are that low, or a small detail is slightly out of place.

And lastly; Your favorite music to draw to right now?

I've been bouncing between genres lately, so the range is anywhere from NSP to Hozier at home, but at work, when I doodle/do sketches for advertising/to pass time, it's usually whatever plays on the radio.

Lately we've been listening to a local station that plays hit songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's, so it's been a lot of rock/alt. rock, and I've found I can vibe to that a lot more easily than the old station... which kept playing that goddamned Italian restaurant song every freaking day for a fucking week straight-

...Although hearing Evanescence while staring into space thinking about how to draw a duck encouraging customers to throw out their own trash is...

It has lead to a significant amount of comedic moments for sure.

Yelllooowwwww. Lavender. Green. Red. Sky blue. ♥

The yellow one, because I'm half awake, reminded me that I was messing around with a measuring tape to figure out what... uhhh... different lengths looked like... yes.... that... compared to my forearm.

Anyway.

Red, yellow, green, and lavender for you :D

There can be only one!

Barkley is the only male born in this generation. Everyone else has 3 (or more) girls. 

Fun fact, Berkley was an accident thanks to Wicked Whims. I did not intend for Julia to get pregnant, in fact, I was surprised when she started throwing up and then popped into a big belly. If he was a girl I would’ve been pissed!

Also, his skin is CC (I didn’t realize) and after the latest patch update, he defaulted into the lightest base game skin, so I adjusted it to his mother’s skintone.

Just a picture of Atreyu’s daughters looking exactly like him. It’s interesting to see how the genetics in his game works. Beth Ann has a lot of her mother’s coloring, but still looks exactly like her dad. And Ares’s twins are basically his clones, seriously, even down to the eyes!

An Atreyu Update

Atreyu went to college with the goal of becoming a super villain. His plans changed though when he met a girl, fell in love and proposed! Best moment of his life was when Julia said yes! Maybe the turning point was when he lost his father Cupid just before graduation.

Atreyu returned home excited to finally be able to spend some time with his baby girl Beth Ann. Of course now he had to officially break up with her mother Akshara and convince her to let him raise their daughter. Naturally she put up a fight but eventually she agreed under the condition that she live right across the street in the house Ares and Atreyu inherited from their own mother.

Finally Atreyu was mature enough to carry the weight of the legacy on his shoulders!

Comet and Bella’s lovestory is still going strong. Cupid celebrates his birthday with family and friends. Comet realizes that he can now boast that he got at least one of his children to adulthood, but to who? He all but lost contact with his extraterrestrial roots and while he knows a lot of Earthlings, he can’t say that any are his friends. He is excited to see his family grow though, and thrusts the reins of the legacy into Cupid’s hands. Cupid though realizes he has a huge problem. He needs to have biological children, but science has not advanced far enough to assist him and he is not keen on dating women, although he takes his new responsibility very seriously, especially after Comet decides to give up the ghost.

Bella and Comet explore the mysterious mystery that I is Cupid having green eyes. Meanwhile, Cupid is still on the fence about his sexuality and attempts to date girls. He holds his weight with his after school job and brings in a substantial amount of money.

It’s safe to say that Comet has settled into his life as a human man and the mission was completely forgotten. However, Comet continues to write, in order to leave clues about his secret for the next generation of Comeths. Meanwhile, Cupid is beginning to question some things about himself.
