Alright, So Last Month I Won A Little Giveaway Being Held By @phiners. I Could Have Any Character I Wanted

me to the three people who interact with my posts

Here's what I've got so far! I'm just waiting on a color ref from someone, then everyone included so far is done.

I've decided to try and use the backups as a last resort, as I'd rather include more folks in here. Feel free to claim an open spot! Just comment or DM me the number + the OC.

Once the slots are all filled up, I'll fill in gaps as needed-- so don't worry if it looks like your OC is floating!

Discovering ancient burial sites can often reveal fascinating insights into the lives of our distant ancestors. One such discovery is the 7000-6000-year-old burial of a young woman, estimated to be around 20 years old at the time of her death, and her newborn baby, found in Vedbaek, Denmark.

What makes this burial particularly intriguing is the presence of 200 red deer teeth placed by the woman's head, and the newborn being cradled in the wing of a swan with a flint knife placed at its hip. It is believed that the mother and child tragically died together during childbirth.

The exquisite details of this burial paint a vivid picture of the rituals and customs of our ancient forebears. The placement of the red deer teeth and the use of the swan's wing as a cradle suggest a reverence for nature and an appreciation for the beauty of the animal world.

This discovery is a testament to the incredible creativity and resourcefulness of our ancestors, and a reminder that even in the most challenging circumstances, they found ways to express their culture and beliefs. The Vedbaek burial serves as a poignant reminder of the profound connections between life and death, and the enduring legacy of our shared human history.

How do you draw blood? I always make mine look like they got ketchup on them

It depends on what kind of blood we’re talking about. Not like I’m a specialist or anything but the color and consistency of blood depends on where it’s taken from (veins, arteries, organs), how it was applied (splatter, drip, soak), when it was applied (old blood goes black) and what kind of material it is applied to (human skin, scales, fur, fabric, etc). Now obviously I’m not known for photo-realistic rendering but it’s good to know the differences anyway.I am still experimenting with drawing blood but here are some different things I’ve done so far:

This is just your average blood stuff on skin, fabric and fur. I sometimes combine random splatter brushes but I almost always end up using kyletwebster‘s watercolor brushes. (And some other ones mostly from his megapack.)I do separate layers because older, dried blood turns dark with time while fresh blood still has a shine to it. I try to keep it balanced between clean edges (drops, pouring) and smeared parts. I think my style allows me to use both but for a cel-shaded look I’d do something like that last orc picture.^My favorite cartoony blood is definitely from Venture Bros. It’s nicely stylized and easy to animate.

Another thing I like drawing is dynamic blood squirts! As you can see on the second image, I draw the little triangle-shaped drips along an action line, complete with its own inside-shadows and shines. Then I select it part-by-part (not all at once!) and motion blur each part in the direction of the sprinkle.

And finally, here’s a thing I did last week. Blood bath!!Of course you don’t have to use a fancy grid to transform it accurately, you can just draw a quick perspective plane for yourself.This drawing was a quickie so I didn’t bother to add real details and shine to the blood but if you want to make it look chunkier you can thicken it by giving it a bit of a shadow.

So yeah, uh… I hope this helped somewhat. I’m still figuring stuff out myself. :)For the full size images please see my blood tag!
