When there's not enough spunk

Just a place to dump all the collective art I've been splattering in my sketchbooks. Figured if I wanted to see my ideas/pairings/poses, someone else in the world might want to as well

[zealouscollectivegentlemen]

Started off as a simple pose sketch and I thought - this looks like a great beginning for Roxas. He always seemed to have a somber feel. But we do love him!!

Worked on my shading and layering in Pencil 2D. Got to say I think I've figured out an easier way to color. Though it's pretty time consuming. Almost stopped at the lineart and said 'forget aboutit'. Helps to zoom it. I can't figure out the whole saving in a certain size ya da ya da. A project for another day.

Trying my hand at a bit of shading techniques. I don't hate it.

But what I love is the Owl House!! So quippy and funny for all ages, as I'm sure I'm not their target audience. Oh Disney+ you've outdone yourself!

If I look at her right eye long enough, I think I'll delete this post x__x

Just some Boylove for the masses. Can't get enough of Bakugou x Shinsou <33 A little post-coitus snuggle love from one damaged man to another. I'm not the biggest fan of Shinsou's mouth, but I was more concerned with the body interactions and those feeeeeetttt. Feety feet feet. Shading could probably use some help too especially where the thighs are concerned, but I am tired.

Probably against all the Tumblr censorship rules.

Inspired from this lovely little AO3 FF (link included). I think it's in like Chapter 10 - fully recommend reading the whole she-bang

“We’re both showering after this,” Katsuki says sternly, smoothing Shinsou’s hair back. Shinsou practically purrs with it, leaning into the touch. Had he never noticed how intimate this is, before? Or had it just been less intimate? Maybe he needed the small distance of a few weeks in a separate apartment to remember exactly how removed Shinsou is in his normal interactions. How much he’s let Katsuki in."

Sheesh. I haven't touched my tablet in a minute. This was all I could do. T_T

I really just wanted to color for a second. So I went with my latest DAI character - Ylliana Elf girl. I’m almost to the Mythal arc and this time around I went with Solas as my main man. I’m not complaining.... but I could be bagging so many dudes at this point. Maybe I’m mis-remembering but Cullen was IN MY BED by this point. Come on Solas. Girl needs some affection. It’s incredibly unsatisfying. Until I get a cut scene, then I’m all squeal squeal

Anyway. Enjoy. Not my favorite drawing, but I got my fix. Still avoiding muscles. I like her nose, and her lips actually look pretty similar to the characters, but her eyes are HUGE. Haven’t perfected a copy + paste in Pencil2D yet, but once I do.... my eyes will be symmetrically beautiful!

Good LORD. Drawing beefy guys will be my undoing. I recently discovered Steam and many moneys later I invested in DA2 (much to my sisters dismay - she always said it wasn’t worth the moneys - MUCHO DISAGREE). I didn’t mind the game at all. My biggest complaint is playing games using my keyboard. My fingers don’t move like that!!

But after 1,000 hours, I wrapped it up and, without spoilers, I romanced Anders. While I did find all my man options were just way too imbedded in their beliefs and it’s impossible to debate any of them without instant rivalry effects, I thought he was adorable in his affection for my Hawke and think I made a good first round decision. 

Needless to say, I really wanted to fanart immediately, but all these chiseled chins make my stylist shake T_T

Muscles are hard, aged men are hard, armor is hard, SO MUCH BODY (~yody yody yody). I want to finish this, but for now, here’s the lineart. Many more edits to come, but I need a damn break.

[zealouscollectivegentlemen]

I’ve been re-playing some Persona 5 and you know what that means! Gotta throw some odes to the ships that can never be! Hetero life in Shibuya I suppose. I’m being a total a-hole so far. Just romanticizing every fem possible. Woe is meeee.

Anyway, I wanted to do a quick doodle of Akira thinking Yusuke is playing the field. I can see how he’s go down that path, but not to worry Akira! Yusuke only has eyes for you my sweet boy. Comic strips will probably remain linearts only for awhile. I’m too lazy to go through all that coloring and line clean up. Not too upset with how the guys turned out. It’s always very intimidating trying to fanart a style that is what I see as a much more talented version of my own style.

“I don’t think I agree with you on that part”

Older Tsuyu!!! She might beat out Uraraka as my favorite female in Class A-1. For her future comings and goings, she’s a boss. Of what, I am not sure, but she wears fashionable suits because she looks great in them and why not!! Monochrome all DAY!

I don’t think I pulled this off very well, but I picture her a bit thicker then the other fems in MHA when she gets older. Her froggy quirk coming into more fruition physically among the thighs and hips. If we’re speaking straight froggy, she should have legs up to her neck, but I went the opposite - more stout. Whelp

“And they were the best tacos ever!”

Ochako! Such a delight. She’s a good main female character and I see her growing up to be some sort of humanitarian. Maybe works at a plant shop, OR is a kick-ash social worker. Between me and you, I had drawn her without shoes and her feet were FIRE. Then I added shoes and regret erasing my efforts.  

One day I’ll add all the jewelry I actually want to, but coloring shiny objects is frustrating and I don’t enjoy it.

“I bet I can jump higher than you even in my boots!!”

Future Ashido sets the independent fashion trends even though she doesn’t know it. If I had the legs for them, I’d snag those splatter boots in a heart beat. I’m sure she’s still quirky and competitive. I’m also leaning towards her and Kirishima being together. Potentially open for others, but there’s love there for sure in come capacity. Just working through their lives as I doodle. I may also eventually give her a longer thick AF braid - should blade length, but for now, I leave her with her high school hair cut. baha 

All those who fear the school girl skirt please raise your hands now!! Damn those pleats. Also, when I zoomed out and looked at her cardigan I just got a wave of T-Swift vibes. Guess it’s chilly outside today~

“What can I fix for you sweetheart?”

Future Hatsume!! I always thought she was cool in the anime. Inventors will always have a soft spot in my heart. Doing what I don’t have the imagination (or smarts) for. 

She definitely still tinkers. Maybe she has a little downtown shop for the broken machines out there. <3 Her heads a little big, but by the time I zoomed out I had already colored and resizing multiple layers is a pain and reworking all the layers was too much work >: (

“Come on kids, don’t be late to my class now”

Future Toga is definitely a teacher. Added a smidge of green as an ode to her small Izuku obsession there per canon. Also realized I stole the rainbow nails from Dexter, and possibly Harley Quinn, but can’t be sure on that front. I don’t actually think she’d wear sandals, but thought about testing out my toe game. Needs work. baaahhh

I take her for an actual colorful person outside of her villain life. Or at least on the lighter side of the color wheel. She’s still a very sadistic fuk, but at least she’s doing good in the world!

“Let’s rock”

Older Jiro for the fans out there. I realized I’m pretty rusty at drawing just standing folks so I was like.... which BNHA character do I want to tackle this time around?? And once I knew I wanted someone with a little spark, I was like... Jiro!! I picture her a little more edgy as the years keep going after high school. 

Maybe she’s a boxer on her downtime. I gave her the duct tape on her shoes just in case. kwe kwe I also think she looks a little androgynous and as that perspective came to me I was very ok with it. Subtle female abs are difficult. ; I  

And yeah.... those tear drops should be triangles but... whatever. I’ll fix it never

Thought it was time I gave some love to the beautiful women round here. 

I was on the Tumblr explore feature when I came across these ‘Skullgirls’ gifs. Since I had no idea what/who it/they were, I went to Google! What an adorable looking game. And it provided many viable subjects for my idea. I really just wanted to draw some tig ol’ bitties so when I found Ms. Valentine, I knew I had found the one.

Note: I have never played the game, and I’m sure this would be an ‘AU’ version of her, but hey, maybe not. Also, I just got really tired of shading grey, so I made her mask and shoes vanilla to keep myself entertained.  And now that I’m looking at her closely, I can no longer see the heart pupil I gave her. whomp whomp. Yes, I’ve read enough Hentai to know that women can sometimes have heart pupils!!! 

 I don’t know if there’s a mature button or not, but they just panties ya’ll

Crying on Main

Scene: Being a hero comes with so much more loss then they taught at UA

I was searching through the myriad of artwork on Tumblr and came across this user with the tag ‘crying on main’ on their page and my mind went wild with ideas. I really wanted to start a sketch of someone just full-on ugly crying in the middle of the day right on the curb. Caveat: my BG’s blow, but hopefully the scene comes through as a whole. And I think he came out pretty ugly from the neck up. hoo hoo 

Then I thought, in the world of BNHA, hero’s must lose people all the time. So I’ma throw in my sensitive muscle man Red Riot to really show how it could weigh on a hero. I envision one of the hero’s at his agency was murdered or something of the like. And sometimes, it takes days before the hurt hits. 

Also, in the future post high school, I envision Kirishima having tattoo’s. Probably pressured into it from his main man Katsuki (cause they STILL friends ya’ll). There were going to be more, but I ... have no idea how to color them right in Pencil2D so I stopped with one. And if that’s the only limitation on this free AF software, I will give zero fuks.

“What are we going to do today?”

Got inspired by one of my quite drafts and I thought the lounge position was just a great concept for this ship. I went back and forth on who would lie on who, and there really wasn’t a wrong choice. Plus I like a chunkier Hitsohi and he was easier to shmoosh against someone else versus vice versa. It should be clarified... by chunkier I just mean more meat to go along with the muscle whereas Bakugou is all muscle. And you are correct patron - Hitoshi wears socks with his sandals. kwe kwe

I’m not sure if this was more of a hand, foot, or interaction study, but I know after looking at it for 4 hours straight yesterday, I’m not going to complete coloring it any time soon. So to the world, here is the lineart.

At first I was pretty pumped about Bakugou’s point of view... looking up and all, but then I second guessed his expression, and then I third guessed his expression, and if I ever get to coloring it, there will probably up to ten guesses. Also, Hitoshi’s hair is just laziness on my part. I didn’t want to think about how his bushy locks would lie against Bakugou’s stomach so I pony-tailed that beast. His crotch could probably use a little work too, but my Google search engine needs a .... a break.  

I’d give it a little zoom action if you’re into the details/referencing. It’s pretty large sketch if I do say so myself. But I live in x350 zoom
