Yasao's Art

I'm Yasao, a writer and artist. ★ I love my OCs, birds, plants, books, Manga, videogames - and Zevran, quite obviously. I mostly paint/draw traditionally (I ♥ watercolors), but dabble in digital art sometimes. ★ Favorite fandoms: Dragon Age: Origins, The Legend of Zelda, Tangled, Vinland Saga, The Last Kingdom and I'm getting back into Pokémon. ★ She/Her, 29.4 Years old.

Hello Tumblr world, I'm still alive, just currently not drawing all that much. The reasons are threefold:

I am writing a lot. Mostly a Dragon Age Origins AU Fanfic I started last November. My concept & worldbuilding document for that is currently 700+ pages long. It gives me live.

I am trying to challenge my anxiety by going out more often/going on small hikes. I started in April and walked 80+ km (that's 46,7 miles for my friends overseas) that month.

In order to redirect my hyper-vigilance while outside I'm birding. To that end, I also created a new account for my bird photography (feel free to follow me there if you wish!). Rather than being all like "Ahhh humans D:" I go "Ohhh look, there's a carrion crow!!" It helps a lot.

I hope all of you are doing fine. ♥

This is an ATC from 2024 I created for a fanart event themed around Legend of Zelda - Tears of the Kingdom and naturally I had to paint the big, bad villain himself, Ganondorf. Also starring the creepy grabby hands (which aren't quite as terrifying as. guardians used to be imho) and a hint of the mural in the background.

If you want to see a photo (with a brush for scale) take a look at the picture below the cut.

Detritus: I think dem rioters about done. Dem's all calling for a cab.

Littlebottom: They're chanting "ACAB", Detritus. It means "All Coppers Are Bastards"

Detritus: Heh. Well, they ain't wrong. I know I am, and Mister Vines would say he is.

Littlebottom: What about Carrot?

(thinking at Troll Speed)

Detritus: Well, ok. But then again... Nobby is bastard enough for two coppers.

Very precise Ahnk-Morporkian rioters: ACAOTAOBE!*

*All Coppers Average Out To Approximately One Bastard Each

A take

Vetinari? Chaotic Good masquerading as Lawful Neutral.

Drumknott? Actually Lawful Neutral, and trying desperately to keep up.

[cakesandfail]

This makes complete sense, yeah.

As Patrician, Vetinari has to be seen to be sticking to the rules, both in terms of the laws of Ankh-Morpork and what’s expected of its aristocracy and politicians. He has to be strict on that at all kinds of levels and not seen to have any preference for particular people or organisations in his city. Law and order comes first, and if that means making your crime organised, fine.

What’s really happening is that since he can’t be seen to be making huge changes himself, he just sends unpredictable people like Sam Vimes and Moist von Lipwig to shake things up instead. His chaotic good alignment works through Vimes’s goodness and Moist’s chaos- sure, Vetinari and Vimes expect people to abide by the laws of their city, but when those laws aren’t working they get them changed based on what’s morally the right thing to do rather than just shrugging their shoulders and moving on. And if it takes a glittery disaster genius boy in a stupid hat to show that things aren’t working first, Vetinari is just fine with that.

Do you remember the first RANDOM* shiny Pokemon you've found?

I think so? Maybe? (tell me anyway :V)

*by random i mean non-scripted, not hunting for it actively, you're just wandering around in any game and you just found it somewhere

(tell me the game too, not just the pokemon :V)

[lhoandbehold]

Turns out getting a little silly with it is incredible motivation for my visual development phase, so here are some Guards! Guards! textposts!

[offonaherosjourney]

What no one warned me about when I got into Discworld is that Terry Pratchett would completely ruin all my future footnote experiences. Now, whenever I read a book (even if it is an academic text!!) and see a superscripted number, my monkey brain makes my eyes drop to the bottom of the page asap, expecting a funny, poignant, memorable, and potentially life-altering little treat, and instead I get hit every time with the soul-crushing disappointment of McFarthy, G. et al. (1997)

Golbat was my very first shiny EVER (if you don't count the red Gyarados in OG Pokémon Silver). I caught the beautiful sweetheart, when I returned to the Pokémon fandom by playing "Pokémon Legends: Arceus", after many years of absence from the fandom.* Dear Golbat eventually evolved into Crobat and because it was the first Shiny I encountered in the wild, it has become my favorite Pokémon ever since. >u<

*I started playing Pokémon as a kid when the games were first released in Europe. I had Pokémon Blue, my brother Pokémon Red and I also continued playing more mainline titles as the years went on (namely Yellow, Silver, Crystal, Sapphire and LeafGreen) but quit the fandom after LeafGreen. I guess I just got bored as I got older?

But many years later I watched Nuzlocke videos and the like and soon realized, that I missed the world of Pokémon, so I gave PLA a chance and fell in love allover again. >U<

I've played Pokémon Scarlet and New Pokémon Snap since and I'm sooo glad to be back in the fandom. And I'm here to stay this time! ♥

it's showtime, folks!

[ghostwriterofthemachine]

Okay okay I've got one I think will be fun!!

Spin this wheel of like 160ish fandoms of varying levels of popularity.

Could you write a convincing 1-2k word fic for this fandom?

Yes, easy, I've read/watched/played this piece of media and could write for it!

Yes, I know enough about it through fandom/internet osmosis that I could BS 1k

Eh, I could TRY but someone who knew the media would know I was BSing

No, I've heard of this media but I don't know enough about it to BS a fic

I have never heard of this media in my life

Nuance option??

Extra points for telling me all about your thoughts in the tags :D

[darklight-owl]

Uh oh! You are now a were-animal! This means you become a human-sized animal hybrid with uncontrollable bloodlust every night!

Spin this wheel to get your species

How screwed are your loved ones

Not at all! Anyone can fight back against me.

They should be fine with a bit of prep.

Nothing will happen as long as I lock myself in my room.

I'm pretry sure this animal can break down my door, this doesn't look good...

No chance of survival whatsoever.

I'm were-bald (see results)

I like how in Night Watch Vimes has to face his younger self and has the universal experience of cringing at his younger self but realizes you need to start somewhere. You start out naive and ignorant then life bites you in the ass and you learn, unless you're Vetinari then you've always been cool.

[artist-bearded]

Been reading soul music by Terry Pratchett and really like this line
