[xysler]

evervale animatic from last year that i neverrrr posted bc i never finished 💔

this motherfucker has been haunting my storage for around a year because i never found the motivation again to finish it after the first week. it also took up so much space in my poor old laptop that surprises me by even turning on in its current state.

her internal components turn to dust and her system crashes every single every time i even try to open it so for her sake i have to delete both the video and the krita file (which is disgustingly large because i only realized i could just save it clip by clip instead of hand drawing every frame in the massive file) literally makes the app crash </3 the storyboard has also ceased to exist in my saved files??

one day i will have a new system and i will work on eli and vic in this again :) god i hate them

Because I’ve given up on fighting my fixation of the Villains series, I want to note that I actually really love the way evervale is implied in the books—As mutual obsession.

It fits both of them so perfectly, because they are both such terrible people.

I absolutely ship it, they are genuinely awful enough to deserve each other and the whole seeing each other/understanding each other in ways that no one else ever has, the whole angsty pining thing, the being jealous of god despite being an atheist (Victor), hallucinating the other (Eli when locked up at EON) and breaking out of prison to kill each other is so incredibly poetic it almost hurts.

I love their relationship, because they have literally no reason to like each other (both of them are assholes in ways that should probably repell one another). And still they’re obsessed with one another, because no one else has ever understood one like the other has.

They are the only people who ever genuinely understood each other. Until Victor came along (being angsty in his college dorm room) no one had ever seen through Eli’s facade, had taken him at face falue. Victor took one look at him and called bullshit on the persona he’d built over the course of years. And I think that’s beautiful.

I love how they drag out the worst in each other, how Eli stops pretending and trying to fit social norms around Victor, I love how Victor reacts to Eli ‘betraying him’ (calling the cops on him) with unrestrained intention to kill.

And I can’t even begin to put into words how beautiful their canon interactons are in the most tragically poetic and haunting way. Every scene where they interact is a delight to read, ranging from literal bloody murder to just their casual conversations in college (as if anything with these two could be casual, lol. I feel like everytime they talk there’s an intense philosophical debate going on, even when both of them are just talking shit.) It’s just all so intense.

Seperately they are angsty, somewhat tragic people. Together they are a fucking trainwreck you can’t look away from.

Like, I genuinely mean it when I say they are both awful enough to deserve each other.

(Also let’s appreciate Mitch for dealing with Victor’s bullshit for like ten years. And Sydney should choose a better role model, then again… the pool of available people is kind of limited, isn’t it?)

[xysler]

lockland era shenanigans :)

+ each panel individually and rambles about them :))

ngl because victor's a pre-med kid i really do see him as being able to draw, because every other queer kid in pre-med can draw. HOWEVER, it is also every other kid, and i like to believe victor is falls in the category that only does disgustingly clinical super accurate diagrams :) he also drew himself and syd as stickmen in the books which is so cute.

i really believe eli can draw though. victor probably hates him for it :))

if i could eat one thing forever for the rest of my life it would be your art. i loveeeeee your works. like so good genuinely my eyes are blessed each time. how do you render so well pleasee teach me your ways 😭🙏

thank you thank you. these kind of comments really make my day :]

i'm really bad at explaining my process of rendering because it varies depending on my mood and the type of art. so I'll give some quick tips(?):

[1] this is more personal preference but i merge everything to render everything on one layer. i think of it as literally painting

[2] make sure to have a solid sketch or you'll be wasting a lot of time trying to fix the pose/anatomy (and usually that never works).

[3] on the same train of thoughts, you need a solid colour palette. what i like to do is have a yellow/orange underpaint. + already kind of start doing some basic shading

[4] always awesome to use saturated colours (not as base colours), whether thats for highlights or shading. i also promote using pitch-black for shading, whatever cancel me!! depending on the composition, you will use one over the other

[5] don't waste time rendering everything, just clean up what you have to clean up. if you squint, you'll realize a lot of times in my art the eyes are minimally shaded, not everything is erased properly, the lines are wonky, and i do some harsh shading with just pure black because I'm lazy. you just need the illusion that the work is complete thumbs up

hope that helps somewhat😭😭 art studies are always awesome sauce

obsessed w images lit this way

[doodlemancy]

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
