Just finished finals so messing around right now with some experimental stuff as a break before getting back to commissiony things.
Also just found out my favorite RP site that I used to roleplay on all the time shut down in october so that was kinda sad :\ It's always a bummer to see favorite things die in any way. I just wished I coulda said goodbye to all of the people that made my time there great, maybe I'll run into them on some other website someday.

by Sixbane @ Wed Dec 16, 2020 4:10 am [Reply]

Made for a few reasons + i had some questions for you guys so this felt like the best way to reach out to those who follow my art and posts!

1. The last one i did was a year and a half ago, and when the follower feature was just added, im curious how much has changed since then, and how many of my followers are actually active to any degree

2. I'm curious what you guys actually want me to post! I draw constantly between oekaki, CSP, and SAI, so I wanted to ask what you guys enjoy me posting the most? Whether its adopts, my character art, commissions, fanart..other? Whatever. I want to be more active about talking to and replying to my followers, and that includes wanting to try and post things you guys like more often.(Since, I can just regulate drawing to drawing things you like here and other things elsewhere, you know?) Does it not matter to you?

3. I'm also looking for suggestions for people to follow, because (as mentioned above) i want to be more active about talking to people, I want to reach out and support other artists more because I feel like I've been lacking in that because I took a bit of a break from talking to many people at all. So i'd love to hear what artists you like that aren't supported enough! Or, if you'd like me to follow you you can suggest that too! I'd take it as permission to comment all over the place though bcause I can get chatty when given the goahead

I actually dont follow anyone right now! Because I usually just look through art on the recent posts or occasionally check galleries of people who's art I enjoy, so i'm a total clean slate for following!

4. Also, if you bothered to check or read all this, feel free to drop a character ref! I may do some christmas gifts for followers, though I cant make guarantees as to how many or what kind, I have christmas gifts for close friends to do- but I'll use any spare time I end up with before then to doodle for other people)
**as a note these will be posted on or around christmas, maybe the day or two after lol. dont be alarmed if no immediate response

Glowingsaltshaker @ Wed Dec 16, 2020 4:12 am

    this is how favorite liar by the wrecks makes me feel (like committing arson)
    in honor of the wrecks releasing a new album tonight at midnight, here are some of my fav lyrics :]

    we are the wrecks
    turn it up:
    - love is love and what's done is done
    - best believe it's gonna hurt this time
    - teach me how to live in love when i'm with you
    - let's do all the things you say that I won't do, c'mon, c'mon
    - when you knocked me down just to prove that i could stand up

    i don't like you
    - every time i do i make a fool of you so c'mon on let me hear it one more time
    - i don't like you, not your face, not the things that you say, said i really hate the things that you do
    - you can't get in my head, i wanna see you try, you can't get in my head, oh no not this time

    favorite liar
    - i remember weekends, before we got too cool for them
    - i wanna wake up with you, i wanna wake up feeling tired
    - it's too bad that you're a liar, a liar, hold yourself up higher and higher
    - i wanna be the one to show you what you're missing every night, oh every night
    - but you think i'm alone, and i think you should know that i've got pretty girls, yeah, i've got pretty girls taking me home

    panic vertigo - EP
    figure this out
    - she said, "are you gonna write a song about me?" and i think that i just about threw up in my mouth
    - i hear the voices getting louder, someone's gotta tell me how to figure this out
    - we say tonight's the last time, that's what we said last night, here we go
    - i just wanna make this something to remember.. nothing is forever so let's do this again
    - you're wrong about me, and i promise that you're never gonna figure me out

    james dean
    - imagine for a minute you get up in the morning and get what you want
    - imagine being shallow, thinner than a shadow, thicker than wood
    - imagine for a minute the way that i'd be living if only i could
    - girls won't date me, guys all hate me, guess that must mean i'm no james dean
    - "nick, i'm disappointed, that's not how you were raised!"
    - i think we all grow up thinking life is gonna be like the movies
    - enough's enough cuz after all you gotta get used to losing
    - but then you stand up, shake it off, show 'em all exactly just what you're made of

    way with words
    - i dropped your things off late last night, i saw your mom she said goodbye; is that what you wanted?
    - i drove back down past island park, that bridge looks better after dark; is this where we lost it?
    - go on and take back, go on and take back everything, to break a promise
    - go on and say, go on and say i lost you babe, but let's be honest
    - so tell your lies and let's pretend, i moved on fine, just ask your friends
    - but what's the point in saying anything if that's what you wanted
    - you think i waited up all night, you're out of your damn mind, don't lie to yourself
    - nothing you can say can change the way i hate your guts right now

    panic vertigo
    - tell me, do you think i'm going crazy?
    - can we go back? 'cause i miss the way it was, not so bad
    - now i'm up against a wall, but don't worry.. it's gonna make one hell of a story
    - when i'm falling in love and when that love ain't enough, i'll say "enough is enough is enough!"
    - i've had it with this panic vertigo, yeah, i gotta let it go
    - yeah, stuff got bad, i was barefoot on a bridge, drunk and mad, thinking, "what the hell is this? where'd i go wrong?"
    - i haven't been this terrified in so long

    revolution (my old favorite)
    - if i'm in my head, then who's keeping time? it's all running out, i'm falling behind
    - call me a liar, say what you want; i know myself more than you knew who i was
    - take my hand, don't take my life, let's take it all in, i wanna take on the night
    - i'll start a revolution, it's all in my mind, i'll start a revolution before i die
    - i'll make sure you're there, cleaning the windows, watching me real close, i want you to stare
    - are you having a hard time? welcome to my life, i'm glad that you're here
    - try to make my whole world end, baby i don't care

    freaking out
    freaking out
    - i'm on the lawn, it's almost three; i look around, i look at her, she looks at me
    - i feel fine, ive waited for this all my life
    - save my soul, i swear i may never die
    - things are fine now, yeah it's alright and all these damn people in the world are all just getting by
    - i'm all alone, afraid of my life, i just want a home, wouldn't that be nice?

    feels so nice (new third fav song)
    - i could be your best friend, and, well, i can be a whole lot more than that
    - we can live just like this if you want to
    - you smile like you're hiding something, while you're dancing with the radio off
    - as i stand there thinking, "this might be love," yeah, this might be love
    - oh, i'd drive to california again with my broken down car, i would do anything 'cause i wanna be where you are
    - it feels so good when we're dancing around in your bedroom (this line and the 'this might be love' line are so cute)

    out of style (new second fav song)
    - how your bedroom look? how your stepdad doing?
    - i guess that's rude, it's only weather; but to be fair, geographically speaking, i did better
    - oh, let it go and i'll let it go, you can let me know when we can be close again
    - blame it on the miles, you're just in denial
    - my room looks dope, i bought these LED lights.. but no one knows i'm alone like pretty much every weeknight
    - heard you're pregnant, that's cool i guess.. but can you make your whole room glow three different shades of red? ("she said yes!")
    - i just wanna know when the hell did love go out of style?

    four
    - why don't you riot? why don't you rage? 'cause there's no one you can't set on fire
    - so either these walls can shake, or my heart can break into four
    - one piece wrapped to go, one for me alone, and two in case.. in case you come home
    - so maybe these walls should shake, maybe my heart should break
    - (you should come home, home, home)

    this life i have (new first fav song)
    - i hate my job, i hate my car, i hate the cute girls at the bar
    - I hate my band, i hate my songs, i hate the kids who sing along
    - but worst of all, you made me hate the things i love
    - i'm reminded every day that i will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be happy
    - I'm just having a bad night, baby, yeah, maybe this could be alright
    - i think that this could be the start of a new life.. ("oh this is your new boyfriend? oh sick.")
    - now i hate myself, i hate my clothes, i hate my brain and how it thinks, i hate my narcissistic tendencies
    - my lovely shade of "give it up," it takes so much to loosen up
    - watch the world give up on me
    - i don't deserve your attention, i don't deserve it one bit
    - now we're eye to eye, while i self-examine my.. my pretty mind
    - your opinion, it haunts me, i just want you to want me
    - i want my life, i want it back, i want the good times that we had
    - i love these songs, i love my fans, i take back everything i said
    - yeah, i'll enjoy this life i have

    infinitely ordinary
    - i remember when i learned how to slow down
    - you told me nights like these rarely come around
    - we started dancing on the docks, we had barely begun to talk, we were moving
    - i think i could get used to this, i think i could get used to this life
    - we started dancing on the roof, might as well have been on the moon, it was heaven
    - i was busy looking at you when i fell in
    - i think i could get used to this infinitely ordinary life

fish,, man

Mortimer is the son of the god of death. Well, he was, still is? Who knows. However, living in the realm of the dead, the only thing he ever really wanted was to live amongst mortals, the living. always daydreaming of the living world he yearned for freedom. One day, he fled from his father's realm and decided to seek it. Taking the form of a sharkdog (inspired by canine-like spirit messengers) he took to the celestial river to flee this realm, traveling to the normal oceans.

...Where he was promptly hit by a boat, and immediately killed on impact.
That was okay, his father admired his spirit, and being that he's a demi-god, he just came right back to life as an undead sharkdog instead. The knock on the head made him lose his memories, however, so he has no idea who he really is or where he really came from.

he is the peak "Looks edgy, is an IDIOT". He thinks hes the coolest ever. But he's really about as scary as a rock and probably can't count past 7 without getting distracted by a bird. He also talks like a sailor because when he came to the first people to save him was sailors. Therefore, a lot of boat talk and obnoxious ocean puns.

Bottom left is him with a soda ring stuck on his face because hes dumb. His adopted son (owned by takura) probably will have to use that horn of his to cut it off. Or something. Or just let him suffer. Whatever.

Next to that is him + his actual partner acadia, who's owned by mrboodle

shading and highlight tips
by HotNoodles27 @ Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:19 am [Reply]

someone wanted tips on shading and highlighting

always use multiply layer for shading and overlay layer for highlighting

for shading try to avoid using black to shade it'll make your color palette look very dull. muted blues and purples are best for shading.

for highlight you can stay in more of a yellow tint and it's helpful to know where your light source is coming from

hopefully this helps and have a wonderful dayy

You do things a bit differently than I do :0
I usually start off with a shading layer using multiply and the watercolor brush. I find it makes a really nice base layer ^^
For highlight, though, I go for dodge or add most of the time. I usually use overlay to re-color the canvas (basically put a color filter over it).
As far as color goes (for shading and lighting) it really depends on the mood of the drawing. I find myself using red and blue colors for shading and blue and yellow colors for lighting. It really depends on what I'm drawing, though :)


I always find it interesting to see how other artists draw, haha.

Have you guys ever read through your old roleplays?? It was so fun but also so bad I cannot believe I was like that!
Then again, I was 13 ahah.

Brug I will say without shame that 13 year old me thought I was the most unique person on earth and HECK was I a delusional little turd.

Do it bro!! Look back at them! Once you get overthe cringe it's quite an experience.
