the Land beneath Laputa

i kind of want to make a bunch of stickers of this and put them up around campus.

the ordinary day when we met, you colored my black and white life with red.

listened to this song on the way back from school and had to paint this immediately when I got home. 

i think i described this picture to Meggie as ‘dapper gay babies slowdancing’ turning into ‘making out in the second floor mens room’

homecoming triangles

(yes i’m that much of a homo)

Dappernari. Drawn on a tiny scrap of rag paper.

I think this is the closest he gets to smiling. 

Oops, drew a Korra.

When I draw characters, it usually takes me a long time to ‘get to know their face’: I spend time drawing them over and over, translating their animated features into real, physical features, and then translating that back into my drawing style. You can see that in Yukimura or Masamune, I’m very comfortable with their facial/body structure, as well as their expressions, body language, and posture. I strive to draw each character as uniquely as possible—I love drawing the human figure, and I like bringing that over into my fandoms.

Korra’s a little difficult for me, however, considering how I’ve basically drawn zero women as intensively as the SenBasa characters i’m attached to, I’m pretty rusty (even though she’s pretty manly). This is on top of the fact that she’s got some pretty unique features of her own, as the tribe she comes from is based off the Inuit people. I’m going to have to do some research for that, since every one of the models we’ve had in Life Drawing was Caucasian. (It’s the middle of Wisconsin, what did you expect?)

Long story short, I’m really attached to Korra and she’s kind of a big inspiration to me, and I’m going to be drawing her more in the future.

Some doodles on leftover scraps of rag paper from printmaking. Very homo.

First one is BROsara!Yukimura and Masamune (with Masamune wondering why the fuck he is not the big spoon), the second two are Mitsunfaces from a story that Meggie is writing, and the third is some (mostly) happy triangles from said story.

I’ve got all the work from my Advanced Studio class done, and my last two Intaglio plates are well on their way. You can expect to see something on here soon. 

i don’t want to feel like this
so that makes it all your fault
