Inktober, day 7, FANCY

I’ve never been accused of being fancy, so I have to say that this was actually a pretty hard prompt to come up with an idea. Ultimately, I never waste an opportunity to draw Viktor, and I feel that this is a word that suits him. 

Looking at reference photos I got truly inspired by Yuzuru Hanyu’s routines (the man is a powerhouse!), and ended up drawing bigger than my paper. Viktor looks so squished in that tiny frame! The poor thing.

Inktober, day 17, STORM

I went back and forth with this one because this is actually a pretty good prompt that called for a lot of different things! But my brain is permanently attached to Breath of the Wild, and the idea of painting this scene from Memory 11 (“Shelter from the Storm”) never left me. Ultimately, I decided to stop resisting and go ahead.

My original idea was to commit to monochromatic theme and just do an ink wash, but before I knew it the colors snuck up on me.

When you said those words, you were every person who had ever hurt me.

Inktober, day 11, DISGUSTING

Yes, I have just drawn Xue Yang’s face as Xiao Xingchen called him disgusting. I’m not a Xue Yang apologist (it’s not his fault he had an awful life that shaped him, but he sure doesn’t exist in a harmless vacuum). But my dear, lovely XXC, had zero chance to understand him.

I just can’t with Xue Yang. I’ve accepted he is a bastard and I love him (not unlike Lestat). He is my newest murder baby. I love him a normal amount.

Inktober, day 8, TEETH

Not terribly original, I know! Most likely everyone that saw this prompt went straight to vampire!! But I am a simple woman. I see “vampire”, I read “Lestat”. Don’t question my methods. I’ve been attached to my bastard son for fifteen years. He is my original murder child. I love him.

Inktober, day 10, HOPE

I have a hard time ever not falling back into the Star Wars pit. Luke might just be one of my favorite characters all time, and that prompt fits him like a glove. They might have made him cynical and despondent in this third trilogy, but he’ll forever be associated with hope for me.

The reference for this drawing came from A New Hope, that fleeting moment in which he watches the last sunset in Tatooine before he embarks into the journey of his life. That singular moment is so full of hope and yearning that even decades after watching that movie that scene has stayed with me.

Inktober, day 14, ARMOR

Leave it to me to want to draw the single most complicated armor in Zelda history. But what can I do? It's so magical.

I'm planning to watercolor this one in the future when I'm feeling adventuresome (I don't think the paper can handle it, but that has never stopped me before), ergo weird values. I've been in a BotW spree for the last three years along with everyone else, so it was refreshing to go back and draw a bit of Twilight Princess again.

(On why he’s holding a dagger...that is kind of a headcanon that Twilight is a stabby boy with a prickly personality, and I love that for him.)

Inktober, day 20, CORAL I am sorry world. I had the perfect excuse to draw Edward Kenway shirtless and I tossed it aside. But it was for a good cause! Who would give my colorful corals the time of day if I committed that sin? Edward is a pirate of the 18th century and a certified dumbass. Nobody’s told him he’s not supposed to touch the corals. Don’t touch the corals, Edward! I have to say I enjoyed going underwater so much in Black Flag, but I was always tense and minding the sharks. At least he’s having a good time.
