(last anon) TYSM, i'm just wondering about the sketches of these 2 art because these are my personal fav of yours

https://www.tumblr.com/thedustyleaves/723915769382125568/i-realised-i-never-put-together-a-single-post-with https://www.tumblr.com/thedustyleaves/698286527289098240/finished-this-years-halloween-piece-spooky Also wondering, are you the kind of artist who prefer to draw nude anatomy before drawing clothes, or just the basic shape of body?

I always start out with a super rough sketch where I just lay down the idea to get a feel for whether or not I think the actual illustration can succeed. It's just a few lines, but it's enough for me to decide whether or not I want to continue with it.

After that, I flesh it out a bit and start fiddling with the composition, the weight of the characters and how they're placed, the general size of the image, etc.

I never draw the characters nude first, only if I get stuck on a specific pose. I build on 'blocks' and rely on feeling more than anything. For example, the legs on Raki make no sense if I look at them for too long, but they feel right, and that's enough for me, hah! Sometimes I'll take a reference photo of myself, mostly to understand what my body is doing to achieve a particular pose.

After that, I clean up the sketch so it's ready for lineart, drawing directly on top of those loose lines!

It's the same for the monster drawing! Rough idea first

Then fleshing it out to get a better idea of the composition and how the characters interact with each other and the environment

And a bit more of that

And then I clean it up so it's ready for lineart!

Emotion and mood are so important when creating my artwork. How to create emotive art? It’s a super complex and layered topic which I have a lot of thoughts about! There’s techniques you can use, but there’s also ways that you can tweak your workflow and mindset so that you create more space for emotion in your art.

Here’s a snippet of a longer video I made on this topic ✨ The full tutorial on creating emotive art which you can get through my Patreon!

LINKTOBER DAY 21: Water Temple

Sidon grapples the horrors of the water temple guardian while Link and Zelda beeline for the terminal.

And they got a weird rock out of the whole ordeal! What a win.

(The Water Sage is a doctor. Her last student had come to her with the intention to destroy a flesh plague, and she had readily agreed to invest all she has in his quest-

-until she has nothing left to give, except a defiled labratory, a destroyed body, and a lingering spirit chained by stubbornness and spite.)

Not that our trio would know any of this. The linguistic drift in the last ten thousand years is insane.

This au’s called familiar familiar! It’s a self indulgent totk au where zelda and link traverse the wild lands of hyrule post upheaval.

Guess who just watched sonic 3
