Nightmare comforting Cross bc he was feeling dysphoric :>

My version of “if they were human” because I really needed to practice drawing humans again.

It’s a bit wonky in the places I didn’t feel like drawing (mf hands) but I think it turned out well enough

Sorry for the short hiatus, felt a bit to soon to post “ship art” after the underverse news.

Was so depressed about that I had to go read a really long fanfiction for an entirely separate fandom XD

Hope Jakei’s gonna end up alright no matter what she ends up doing, and I wish her luck, that decision’s gonna be tough.

extra colors | base coloring

Line art | beginning

Bonuses- sorta final designs (I ended up changing a lot in the final piece + Cross looked a bit to young for my liking in the idea sketches) and a stupid doodle

The struggle I had trying to make nightmare look as gender-neutral as possible was ridiculous, but I think I got it in the end product.

u draw nightmare so beautifully and lovingly thank u for ur service

😆 thank you. I love drawing him.

He’s very goober shaped

but like in an “ancient ruins gender-fluid [redacted]” sort of way :}

Nm belongs to Jokublog :>

Eye strain (?)

Self indulgence post. I rewatched ghostbusters, so my brain said I had to do this. That’s it

I don’t even know how that type of thing would work in their world XD I just wanted to draw it

(Cross tec. not in the outfit, but I thought he looked nice in the coat, and the style of the coat gives me ghostbuster vibes, so yeah

Also Nightmares fazing through the floor if it wasn’t obvious. I don’t think I rendered that idea very well

(_ _;)

This one don’t got to much to it, did most of it on one layer, so here are the “flats” and a stupid initial doodle I did (eye contact btw)

Honestly that doodle disturbs me a bit

Something about the colors and the fuckin “led paint stare” I accidentally gave him… idk

I really like drawing in cool tones, so I did that. Also I wanted to draw Cross with a lovesick expression, cause that’s my favorite way to draw him, if it wasn’t obvious.

mans would probably die of embarrassment if anyone caught him making one though

The posing is based off two Top Gun screenshots (which are below with the other stuff). Was in the middle of a severe art block and watching it fixed it XD

Everyone should start watching Top Gun (the og) when having artblock /silly

Honestly that movie gave severe killer x dream vibes, but I just wanted to draw Crossmare, I missed my ship.

Haven’t seen much content for it lately. It’s driving me crazy :)

no outline | shading | flats

Bonus’: me having fun cause I got bored mid-piece & lazy screen shot “redraw”

Top Gun Screenshots: paramount

it’s a bit later then I intended, but them

Don’t know if it’s visible or not, but I was trying some stuff.

also gave Cross extra face marks :D (they’re there for a reason. I ain’t saying why yet) and, if anyone noticed, the reason why his face wasn’t showing in my last few posts was cause I was debating putting them there

their alt designs by me

Texture practice shit

came up with the new outfit I’m using for cross, it’s not all that different XD

Alt: cause I was fuckin with filters. I enjoy how the colors look on this one more, but the weird pattern thing it does is rather annoying

flats | lineart

Sketch | pre-sketch

Bonus: The fit with | without labels

It’s rather simple, though I think the differences are enough to be noticeable :)

(I needed to keep him somewhat similar bc I cannot recognize him when drawing, plus I’m bad at redesigns anyway 😬👍

Workin on an au …sorta

…it’s off and on progress

though recently I’ve been thinking of a lot of dialog for it

(that’ll come later… [if i continue this as planned]

June got me feelin a bit silly goofy honestly, the posts this month have been a lot less fruity then usual XD

Idk, just found it ironic

I ain’t breakin up the drawings this time, but here’s the versions without lighting shit

I like the second drawing a lot more then the first, was more fun to work on

Sometimes I forget foreshortening can be interesting to work with, and not just annoying to deal with

Bonus doodles

I haven’t completely figured out Cross’s fit for this au, but it doesn’t matter much at the moment anyhow, since he’s still in his old stuff at the moment

Bisexual lighting or somethin idk. Was gonna draw something cute for my first post during pride month… but obviously that didn’t happen

finally decided to come up with a design for passive though :>

I don’t ship Cross with Passive, though I think he’d be protective of him. Some info dump bellow & other stuff if curious

(goin that route where Nightmare and Passive are two people that share a body and Passive is still a child that happens to front when Nightmare’s weak, napping, or feeling soft

The base of the image is someone found out about Night’s alt, because he got badly damaged while fighting, and they tried to take advantage of it. Though Cross saw and wasn’t having any of that

regular shading | extra colors | flats

Line art | sketch | pre sketch

Bonus: drawing I didn’t finish & other doodle w/it + idea drawing for passive

Basically, when Nightmare isn’t able to, he’s made it Cross’s mission to bodyguard Passive. Passive is a bit scared of Cross, because his first impressions of Cross are him harming other monsters, but he trusts him because Nightmare does. Passive eventually learns that Cross isn’t that bad and eventually gets along with him. Passive and Nightmare are close because they’ve been sharing a body for quite a long time, and have gotten to know/imprint on each other, plus Nightmare did help him when he needed the help. They both go by Nightmare when they’re the one fronting, for obvious reasons, though Passive nicknamed goopy (Ik there’s a better name for that form, but I don’t remember it rn) North, because of the crown that he has the ability to see from when Passive alts (and he wouldn’t let him call him goopy)

and when North alts; Passive just goes by Passive (for now anyhow, haven’t came up with anything creative). Credits-

Based off this⤵️

Idk… went on tiktok for the first time in a while and kept seein the Maxley ship, and they give off the same vibe to me, so I did a screen redraw, sorta anyhow

Bonus. Drew Max for practice, and then Cross directly after to see its effects to my style. had interesting results

The extremely goofy movie screenshot: Disney

Ya’know when you nap too long, cause you’re tired af, and ya wake up, and suddenly it’s night? yeah they just did that

Idk if the idea came across that well, but they’re using Nightmare’s tendrils as a blanket jsyk

I’ve been seeing a lot more “canon type” nightmare content. specially with these two. and as much as I find it an interesting dynamic to work with, that shit hurts, so I drew this to cope.

I don’t know if I like the shading on this one tbh, but it turned out alright

Shading w.out extra stuff | extra colors | flats

Bonus Cross doodle (cause I was messing with his fit/monochrome scheme and thinking of the repercussions of him sitting in the void. He kills me sometimes)

sketch, cause I’m too tired to actually try, and it was out of character anyway

I just needed somethin ta draw cause I couldn’t focus on anything I wanted to do

Was practicing animal proportions and drawing fur

don't really know how to draw paws or scars on animals very well, so take it with a grain of salt. but hopefully it's alright

I like how the line art came out on this one, was fun.

w.out final filter | extra colors | flats

Honestly should've stopped at flats personally 💀 I think it looks best

line art | sketch | pre sketch

I almost posted this on my reblog account 💀

[Edit- many many edits cause tumblr won’t post it on the tags again smh 🙄 i give up

If it don’t post it on there this time, I ain’t fixin it, hopefully it’ll eventually just fix itself😤]

CW: Suggestive Art/ Themes

(Mild description: They mostly wearin clothes. Cross ain’t wearin a shirt though. some ecto is shown. suggestive position and scene. Nightmare’s just giving Cross a kiss on the forehead though)

It many or may not be as bad as I think it is. this isn’t my alley of posting

I had to look at so much ref for Cross’s bones it was ridiculous. the sketch took 2 hours (full thing was nine hours 💀). I think they turned out alright despite the hassle.

I think the ecto shading turned out nice. I tried some simpler shading techniques, but I think it went well with the lineart I ended up doing.

Ngl I was tempted to give Cross something similar to one of those yellow nervous dog vests

simple shading | extra colors | flats

warning about the sketch. Cross ain’t wearin shorts

Edit- totally forgot to mention I made this post cause I found this collar on Pinterest

My head wouldn’t stop bothering me about it. put it off for about two weeks 💀

Tw: Death I was in the middle of drawing something …practically the exact opposite of this vibe, but my playlist decided to kill me, so yeah

…Yeah idk. I think that’s the crispest paper I’ve drawn tho. so that’s cool

I enjoy the way the lighting came out

Shits wack. I drew that with my finger.

my stylus’ texture keeps making me want to cringe and die. so I haven’t been using it. I can’t tell the difference in quality, so whatever, but still… :/// I miss using it

idk why, but apparently shading in blue is difficult for me

Local autistic trying to mask in public, in attempts to look intimidating, though failing due to his partner sleeping peacefully against him.

Ft cross wearing pants because, despite drawing it a lot, I hate drawing legs 😬👍

No, I didn’t draw a background, despite suggesting they were outside. I couldn’t figure out where I wanted them to be

The gays with smudge background. I’m too tired to come up with much words right now, but here is them. d(_ _)

Oh yeah. tried smoother brush for the coloring …might stick with the other, donno yet. And lots of swirlies on nightmare this time, cause I was having fun with it

I’ve had that one goofy ahh German song, the one that’s been circling tiktok as a dance trend, stuck in my head for half of when I was drawing this. It needs to leave. its overstayed it’s welcome

I started posting Crossmare on this day last year. so I did a redraw-ish thing.

(not everything is exactly the same, but I mostly stayed true to it

This drawing stressed me the fuck out, (the posing was killing me) but I wanted to do it, so I got through it. I think it turned out alright

it’s nice to compare my more recent shit to my old stuff. I’m glad I eventually (sort of) figured out a (semi-consistent) way to draw sanses (san’s…? Idk htf to put that)

I, for some reason throughout my posting, have developed this thing where Cross almost always has to be on the left side of the drawing. It’s something I’ve noticed for a while. it kinda bothers me, but it usually bothers me more if I don’t do it.

But yeh, that’s why the two are switched around if you were wondering. :]

Thank you for all the support I’ve been getting on my posts. a lot the tags I find on the reblogs make me smile. I have a lot of fun posting what I do. always happy when others end up enjoy it as well

the amounts of attention on that last post, just, damn. I wasn’t expecting it. glad that you liked it tho. Thank you :D

messin with that “nightmare deforms when sleeping” headcanon

I feel like it’d probably freak Cross out for a while before he got used to it

(cross’s eye is a bit off, but I didn’t fix it, because no :])

👀 they bout to kiss or somethin… hell if I know -\(“)/-

watched “My Policeman” and goddamn that movie was just so fruity. but it was also super good and just sweet overall. 10/10 honestly

But yeah, anyway, the idea for this post is a bit based off one of the scenes that happened, because it was pretty and caught my attention.

…I really like the way Cross came out on this one. he looks how he does in my head for once :> …now if only I could figure out how to be consistent (-/\-|||)

I’m also slowly figuring out how I draw nightmare

…mans is so difficult for me and for why?

Missed doing line art in this style, and watched both the spiderverse movies, so said fuck it

Not much to say on this one lmao. I enjoy the headcanon that Cross practically refuses to refer to Nightmare by his name, no matter the situation. so ig that’s sorta included

We’re in the middle of moving so I haven’t had much time to draw >:P

lucky for me though, this style is rather quick to do, and I was in the mood, so it was even quicker.

Scribbly messy-ish thing.

Some phone doodles I did today. Couldn’t bring myself to try that hard, but I wanted to draw. So yeah. First ones my fav.

Took around 5hrs in total. Sorta surprising, sorta not. Seeing as these are more simple then what I usually go for.

Might spend time on one or two of them if I get bored.

…might also draw more with the animal attributes, not completely sure yet, was sorta fun though.

If it looks like they were shaded different it’s cause they are. Tried to shading styles at once for a side by side

…I think I like the one I used for Cross more …Nightmare looks a bit to smooth XD …it’s fun that it’s almost chalky lookin though

I enjoy the fact that the background looks a bit like cardboard :>

…even though cardboard in real life feels disgusting
