#artists on tumblr #Arcane #Jinx #Ekko #timebomb #my art #hi hello I am back to being alive #(I feel I say this every time I post but like listen don't expect high throughput from me haha)#the phd is phding a lot lately #but yeah ma meilleure ennemie in my brain on loop for the past months #trying to make a webp work here even tho I usually hate them #but putting it through a .gif conversion was hurting too much #morning edit: also of course I wrote the caption wrong last night dsjkhgfd

hello!! what are some general colouring tips that you'd like to share :3

Hii!!

Ahh gosh, let me think:

Something that I recommend doing is picking one main color to be the focus of the picture, and then working around it with picking other colors that compliment it, but don't compete with it. It simplifies the image and puts focus on what you want to show. For example, in all of those drawings I put red as the main point of the image to serve as the center of attention, while all the other colors are much darker and simpler

Use contrast between your objects vs your backgrounds with colors and with shading. If the objects are dark, the background should be bright and vice versa. It helps to show the silhouette better:

Color your lineart - it makes such a difference in making the drawing look finished:

For shading faces, it makes a big difference to use references to help yourself! I recommend this head lighting model!

If you need ideas to come up with color palettes, there are a lot of fun resources you can use for inspiration, such as cinema palettes or filmgrab!!

And yeah, that would be it hah

If you are more interested in specific color stuff, I would honestly recommend just going on youtube and watching some videos about color theory in art, since they are much better at explaining it than me 😅 For example this one or this one!

Hey just stopping in to say STUNNING WORK!!! You're absolutely killing it 😍

I also saw your post about possibly opening an Inprnt shop and I def believe you will be accepted! Other artists on the app help accept people into it and I have no doubt you would be able to get in! I would buy your work in an instant (especially your Jayvik The Kiss piece!)

Ahh thank you!!

#asks and answers #not art #rainydayable

Omg aaa the kiss is gorgeous!!

Do you sell, or would you consider selling prints? 🙊

Ahh I'm happy you like ittt!!

And yes, it's a work in progress - I am aiming to open an INPRNT shop soon! But I still need to prepare some things for my application there and then cross my fingers that they will like me enough 😅😅

#asks and answers #not art #scared-of-butterflies #long story short I cannot send an application with example works being fanart so now I have to scrap up some original works first #and hope they are good enough for me to get a pass #but after that - yes! prints coming!

Hello! I just wanted to tell you that your JayVik “The Kiss” is absolutely gorgeous. I got to see the original when I was in Austria a few weeks ago, and Klimpt is one of my favorite artists, so seeing my favorite boys done in that style is just so. Ugh. Stunning!!!

Hello! Ahhh thank you so much, you're so sweet!!

And indeed, the original is just such an amazing piece aaa

#asks and answers #not art #liveactionboimler

Hiiii! Your jayvik art inspired by The Kiss just crossed my dash and the noise I made when I saw it even made my partner looked up from their game lmao

I saw just a glimpse of it the other day but then couldn't find it, and I've been waiting for it to appear eventually. No joke, it was instantly my FAVORITE piece of jayvik art the second I saw it. And I swear it's not just because of the art it's inspired by.

I love your take on this, it's gorgeous and I could stare at it forever. Which I'll happily do if you ever sell prints of it, but you won't hear me rushing or pushing you, even just seeing it on tumblr is a treat already. Thank you for sharing it <3

Hii hello!!

First of all, aahh thank you so much!! And I'm happy you managed to stumble upon it again hahah (honestly it's been receiving a lot of love and it makes me feel so warm inside, thank you so much)

As for the prints, it's actually a work in progress!! I decided to push myself to finally set it up, right now I'm waiting for the test prints to arrive to me via mail to see if I am okay with the quality (long story short, most of my older art was made with quite non-print friendly settings so I've been trying to make them more printable these days with re-exporting/upscaling etc). So I might be able to launch a print shop somewhat soon!! 🤭

#asks and answers #not art #padawan-crevette #the new stuff is already made with for-printing settings so those would not be a problem #but for a long time I was drawing without considering prints as a possibility and now it's a pain to try to work around it #but yeah - hopefully soon!!

Your art is so beautiful!! I just saw the latest Jayce/Viktor one on my dash and it’s stunning, I want to put it on my wall so I can stare at it some more. Thank you for sharing your work!!

WAhhh you're so sweet, thank you!!

#asks and answers #not art #itwasyummy

#artists on tumblr #Wei Wuxian #Mo Xuanyu #The Untamed #Mo Dao Zu Shi #mdzs #my art #flashing cw #soooooo I've had this idea for ages already but I never commited #turns out I had to try to draw it from another angle so here we go #also I knew that the quality compression to go to a gif will hurt :')

beyond the veil

#artists on tumblr #The Untamed #Wei Wuxian #Mo Dao Zu Shi #mdzs #my art #hi guys just as a reminder I am still insane about Yiling Laozu ft. Death #anyway here I am finally kicking myself to draw again

I was trying to break the art block and asked my friend to give me a random color, he went with teal. And since ATLA/LOK is a thing we have in common, here is the outcome!

#artists on tumblr #Legend of Korra #LOK #my art #it was a nice thing to kind of draw something more mindlessly #and I ended up liking the result so yeah why not post it!

After the dragonwangxian just now I went through your mdzs art and got hit IN THE GUT with my own early mdzs-feels, like, it feels so long ago, but also 2021-22 was just yesterday wtf. They’re all so gorgeous and full of emotions! The colors oh my god the colors! 🥺🥺🥺 Your art makes me feel things, then AND now! Also, I wanted to tell you that I had like five or six different pieces of your art are phone backgrounds at different times, that hit me too, and several difffrent ones - as chat apps backgrounds (those I still do!). This unhinged rant is all to say, thank you so much for your art, I really love it! Hope you’re doing well and better! Thanks for making the latest dragonxian too! (i guess dragonji can stay as well, but him we do have an abundance of in fandom as is XD)

I started typing in the tags, but it became incoherent there, so I came here oops :)

aaaa that is so so sweet, thank you so much 🥺✨

also yes oh my god, somehow the time passed so fast? like I remember drawing those early 2021 pics still so vividly hah
