Why are you writing with someone who openly supports incest?

It may come as a small shock that half of the blogs that I follow are DD DNE. But to follow that topic warning, that doesn’t mean I write or have an interest in some of the concepts, incest being one of them. Nor does it mean I support it. I curate my space thanks to the content filtering, and will gladly do that if someone I write with has content that I don’t want to see. The options are there for a reason. Now, why? What is this hobby if not an expression? I’m sure multiple blogs I follow have similar warnings, and sometimes anon, people use this as a tool to cope. To process. Maybe it’s not that, but that’s beyond me. I’m not going to sit here and tell someone what not to write or what to write. Everyone has their own reasons for writing the content they want to go on about, and I’m not the fucking police.  Even beyond this, I’m certain there’s other blogs that I follow, that you follow, that others may follow that have content that doesn’t appeal to their followers' interests. But that’s just it— unfollow! Block, if needed. Censor the content, whatever works for you. Not everyone will appease others' cups of tea, but that’s simply just how life is. I have writing partners who write things beyond incest that I don’t agree with (necrophilia, for one, but that’s what their character does/is into. Alright, just not for me), but I can appreciate and have interest in the threads or memes that we do throw back and forth. If there’s a topic that’s more prominent on a blog that I don’t agree with, I just don't follow. If it seems like it’s a per muse basis, sure, it’s a little different. It’s not a constant array, which would mean little interest from me if it was. At the end of the day, as long as there’s no hatred, all’s fine with me to a degree. No homophobia, no xenophobia, racism, transphobia— these are immediate blocks and/or unfollows from me. However, a slightly questionable kink/interest list? I’ll entertain it if there’s other points of interest. Again, I’m not the police over this shit.

Tummy kisses for the soul

[id: a drawing of jonny d’ville kissing marius von raum’s stomach. jonny has light skin, a choppy grown out light brown buzzcut with light brown facial hair. jonny’s wearing a cropped white tank-top. she lays on her stomach and uses one hand to roll up part of marius’ shirt. marius has medium brown skin, dark curly brown hair and facial hair, and a mechanical arm. he’s wearing a light yellow shirt with text that reads: “keep talking, i’m diagnosing you.” and a pair of black shorts. he lays on his back, eyes shut and smiling. the background is entirely grey and shows the outline of a pile of pillows and a blanket. end id.]

ur art is so, so amazing, is there anyway u could do a tutorial bc I wanna draw like u so badly

i can try but idrk how to explain myself or make tutorials lol

i think my style is just a product of my brush and what im trying to get out of my art, which is trying to portray the characters as accurately as possible. i rly just want it to look like it could be a stylized redraw of a deleted scene or something

my process is kinda everywhere bc i just move on to whatever step will probably make me hate the piece less when im done with it. i draw with a more square brush (blurring marker 1 on ibis) which i def recommend. its great for focusing on shapes in ur art and it helps me not overblend/forces me to think of more interesting lines/shapes. my sketch is a thicker size of the same pen, focusing on the major shapes and proportions and i just make as many additional layers overtop of it, lowering the size of the pen and adding details as i go

once im at the lineart i usually use a site that creates color palettes based off images (usually just steal some from old catholic art) and i steal my base colors from that. it doesnt matter how terrible ur base colors look as long as they make sense and r what ur generally going for.

these were my original base, i use colored line art and shade the basic shadows using the line art mixed with the base color, highlights r whatever is the lightest color in the palette. after that i duplicate and throw it through this filter

i play w the colors and use it as a color/hue/luminosity layer on top of the original version, lower opacity and render now that theres more colors on the canvas (the filter creates more contrast between the lame base colors i mix, then i can add bounce shadows and shit).

i use a shit ton of digital cheats. single color overlay layers at the end of a piece, pizza face overlay glow, using vignettes around the border to draw the eye towards the subjects at the center, filters, color palette generators, etc. they make things sm easier so u can worry abt experimenting with other things.

i dont rly know how to explain how i do clothes or hair other than focusing on the shadows and worrying abt lights later. this is honestly the best tutorial i can think of bc in my head im just drawing what i see as best as i can with the pen i use. use a fuck ton of reference, do actor face studies, and try to experiment with ur style everytime u draw. ur never gonna learn how to use ur programs or expand if ur bogged down by trying to achieve a specific look. sometimes that thing u were nervous abt bc thats not how ur style usually works is the best thing on the piece at the end.

actually draw only what u want to draw in that very moment and use that as an opportunity to experiment however u can. i just draw chainshipping and find ways to trick myself into learning 👍🏻 sorry this is so bad if u have any specific questions i can try to answer those better

edit: this is what i mean when i say just draw with whatever base colors and use the lineart to add value. i thoroughly hated this piece at this stage but once i adjusted the pallet it felt much more cohesive and i could continue on with the drawing. the best thing i can say is to have absolutely no process past the same few first steps and resign urself to a cycle of self hatred and throwing random bs at the wall to see what sticks
