you get art today because... because.

O hai!
Excuse DECADES LONG posting-absence (and by decades, I mean nearly four months. DECADES).

1. It is summer!
2. and I am back from uni!
3. =DDDD

Because I'm having an insanely creative week (WHY IS THIS?), but also mostly because there's no real point to this post otherwise, you get art today! I don't do art, as a rule, so this is fairly novel

YOU! :D It HAS been decades, lol! I was just thinking about you like two days ago and missing you and happysighing over your awesome. I like to believe I summoned you. ... )

YOU DID SUMMON ME. I'm like a genie. A short, redheaded, British genie. You get three wishes, as long as all you wish for is my love. ♥♥♥ Actually you already kind of wished for a new form of punctuation, SO I WILL GET RIGHT ON THAT

[noneedofcrepe]

Heeee never fear, my entire flist is creepers. Surrounding myself with fellows is the only way I can continue to function lmao. I wish for a new punctuation symbol, your love, and a cupcake that says creeper on it. Because I am hungry and I desire a cupcake and frankly any cakey deliciousness would be made better if it had creepy stuff written/draw on it. But yes, I am glad to help, man. Having people who's advice you can trust with your art around is veryyyy important. I would die if no one could give me concrit lol

[the_indigo_blue]

Aahahaha I would love to make you a cupcake with 'creeper' on it! JUST WAIT. Actually maybe I'll just fulfil all your wishes in cupcake form... one has 'creeper' written on, one has New!Punctuation! and the other one... has my heart stuffed inside it as a delicious bloody surprise beneath the frosting. Mmmm.
I would give you concrit in future but you basically kick my arse to Hades on the artskillz front, so I'll just give you cake instead, really.

How would you prove that theory without SKINNING SOMEONE'S HEAD AND LOOKING AT THEIR SKULL?
- Oh, I suppose you could x-ray, actually.
IT'S STILL A CREEPY THEORY HANNAH, ahaha.

Re: noses, I spent a lot of years drawing little tiny-line anime noses and it's a hard habit to break T__T. If I try to shade up the sides it looks like my people have little penises stuck onto their faces. I will persevere, but only because you say so! And hair can get tiring if you're working in pencil... I love ink, so that's a lot faster. Alternatively, draw blondes XD.

*star jumps* DONE!

Noo concrit can come from anyone with the right eye, and you have that eye. People who don't know how to Look at art have a hard time giving crit but regardless of style and skill level if you can visualise what you're taking about then according to my rulebook you have every right to talk about it. :D

I am in love with these cupcake ideas lol. I will let my zombie!Reg eat the heart one, he would be thrilled.

X-rays or, for preliminary tests, wet hair in tight, high ponytails so the shape of their head is visible. I will make charts and comparison overlays, it will rule. People laugh at my theory lmaoo but I have believed in it for like half my life.

O anime noses. I also went through a many year long phase of attempting that style but I eventually morphed back into more realism and, for me personally, it was a GOOD GOOD MOVE lol. but a hard one. After all, it's easier to see what you do wrong when it looks closer to how people really look. If you mess up an anime eye, for example, you can just say you meant to make it that way.

[the_indigo_blue]

I *sometimes* have that eye, for other people. I just can't identify what's wrong with my own work, it's like a vague feeling of '=|' that I don't know how to fix

[bloodredsummer]

Lulz, we were talking about stuff related to the person with the right eye for concrit the other day. This person is not me. Not for fic, not for art, nada. Kaytar definitely has what I lack :D

[ninjapirategirl]

AHAHAHAHA NOSE

that is all

YOU BITCH ♥♥♥
