Like Folks Were Up There Dying

I post paintings, drawings, and sketches of mostly fanart. Feel free to use the RT designs as cosplay references! No need to ask :) but if you still have questions, see my email under Info I am currently not active here and will likely not see messages sent to this account.

You know, I was looking at Rover fanart (the cat from Animal Crossing) on google, and your Rover piece came up, so I clicked it and I found your post of the Animal Crossing kitties! Your art is amazing, and you just earned a new follower! Keep being amazing!

oh hey! thank you so much!! I’m glad you like it, and it still makes me happy to see people are enjoying that one! I should give some exposition though: I’m not actively trying to update this blog. I hope to use it later but right now my focus is either on life or my anime fandom blog >.>

Me and my friend would like to cosplay your Michael and Lindsay designs from awhile ago and we wanted to know if it was ok. and if it is could i see what Michael's backpack looks like fully ? Thank you your art is amazing c:

I’m so sorry, I’m not sure when this was sent, or if this is in time for RTX 2015. But for reference to anyone: I’m happy for asks about this but yes it is alright to cosplay these designs or even alter them from the designs. Especially since some little parts of it were inspired by other artists. The backpack is simply Banjo’s backpack, though I didn’t use a ref when drawing it… because i was being lazy… the icon in the middle is Rareware’s symbol; it’s up to you if you want to keep that. It may be worth looking at the in-game version, as it’s simpler and doesn’t have the icon (search Banjo Kazooie backpack maybe?)or there’s the nuts ‘n bolts version, and while many mourn the game’s existence, i think the backpack’s pretty cute if you want that kind of look.

thought it was a good time to post this - a design from december, meant to resemble ray’s RTAA design!  the adorable rotating pixel is by ashdenej!

posting this jingle geoff WIP b/c I don’t think I’ll finish it. Sorry, tattoo-less geoff arm

I started a bit of work on my wings for Lindsay’s MC skin! I’m going off this design by zephyrkit ! Not sure how I’m gonna make these look like a poncho of wings, may turn out just a bit different than the design but nonetheless I’m excited to cosplay one of my role models B)

[zephyrkit]

WOAH HOW COOL?? Ahhhhhh this is really cool!! I'm sorry, this was quickly done (those are gold feathers on the belt, but in a hurry to post I never defined it) and i don't really have any advice on cosplay... though those wing shawls that have been going around tumblr kinda remind me of that. Of course they could also be more stiff to hold their own shape, whatever would be better...!!!  what am I saying I know nothing about cosplay.. your cosplays are lovely, by the way, and I hope you have fun!

What drawing tablet do you use?

A small four-year-old Intuos4! (Maybe five years..?) I need those shortcut buttons. I never have my hand at the keyboard.

[zephyrkit]

Oh man the arms/wings on your Michael and Lindsay drawing are the cutest!

 I’d imagine Michael could use those bear arms as gloves too. thank you for messaging me, have a little magpie 

[zephyrkit]

aawwwwhpff hello new followers! all those comments and tags were cute, thank you! have a little mockingbird

(and thanks to those who tagged thelindsayjones so that lindsay could see the last picture because i was too shy to tag it or something -hides behind hands-)

I just wanted to tell you that I think you are really lovely and really talented. :)

AhRG YOU’RE LOVELY. thank you this is mega appreciated!

[zephyrkit]

You arte is really awesome! May i ask what programa and brushes do you use?? (Rlly like the soft look tour colores like)Thnks and keep the good work ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

thank you!! I just use Paint tool SAI, the brush, and the water tool.. but mostly just the brush and its three settings. It’s pretty boring!! The water tool makes things really soft so I use it sparingly. On occasion I will try some other brush but I keep going back to those two.

I’m done traveling for the year and hope to get some stuff posted soon, specifically giveaway-related. thank you for your support!

Lately I haven't been taking care of myself well due to me trying to finish everything at once. So I'm going to focus on that - I am honestly unsure if I'll even have anything to post in the next week or two. (I am still working on that last giveaway, although it's gonna take more time than imagined)

RTX is this weekend, my boyfriend will be in town on tuesday, and work is suddenly emotionally stressful. It's an odd mixture of genuine excitement and frustration. I suppose it's nothing new for this blog to seem inactive but I hope it's understandable. 

thank you!! @//o//@

Portrait commissions are open. Message me for details. Orders will be taken through Etsy.

tsukki's dinos

There were so many options to draw when it comes to brokebacksatan's interests so I went with the ones that stood out and threw them into the same image (THE first winner of my first giveaway by the way!) @w@ sorry for not being much of a surprise!! Based from the hinata on their blog and the tsukki they cosplay! 

[zephyrkit]

GIVE AWAY IS DONE

So I've sent out asks to the winners! They have two days to respond before I pick another if they don't reply. I have not chosen a third winner, but I have the list saved from 10 pm. If I do choose a third, it'll be after I finish the second request. I really want to choose another, but I have to see what I can handle first. Or maybe I'll do something different, like a popular vote. 

Thank you, everyone ;u;

[zephyrkit]

and of course there's the general art block of not feeling like drawing. 

should I then draw a bit mindlessly? I worry for quality but I understand that's also holding me back. 

i want posting art to be a normal thing for me
