Made Another At The Same Time As The Smiling Friends One! I’d Also Like To Make A Gravity Falls One

Star shepherd ✨🌟

Overdue owed art for @arleyandtheinkboyz of their character Nyx !! This piece intimidated me for a bit I must admit but I really like how it turned out and it feels great being back in the swing of things. Thanks so much for your kindness and patience!

Shoutout to my comfort characters for helping me through this wild year!

Ramblings under the cut <3 

Please don’t tag with any incestuous ships!

Okay, first things first, apologies for how janky the colored line art is; I don’t do it often but I felt this piece needed some spicing up! This was drawn on my poor neglected iPad (known around the house as “The MaxiPad”) using MediBang, once again not something I do often! The reason I chose to use my iPad is cause I’m going to be getting a display tablet within a few days, gettin’ real tired of the hand/eye disconnect with my Wacom >:\ Oh, and I’ve changed my mind: I like Procreate more than iPad MediBang. It’s a close call but I can just manipulate my layers better in Procreate; couldn’t figure out how to do so in MediBang and I’m pretty savvy with complex art programs!

Now, some words on each of these fellas!

Dipper and Mabel: These two darlings remind me of my brother and I who are super close! They’re insanely cute and help me when I need some innocence in my life. I see myself a lot in both of them, but most people like to compare me to Mabel (my mom’s even started doing it). :D Sweater designs aren’t all that original but hey, cliches are cliches for a reason!

Bill Cipher: A total jerk who’s way too much fun to draw. Sometimes we all need a little chaos!

Yung Venuz and Yung Cuz: My go-to unfunny meme duo. These guys are probably more like favorite characters than comfort characters, I think they’re so much fun and they remind me of long game nights of Nuclear Throne with my little bro!

Stan and Ford: I could actually ramble about how much I love these two forever so I should probably leave it at that tbh. Apologies for more uncreative sweater designs OTL

Cosmo and Wanda: King and queen of my childhood! These two give me warm fuzzy feelings every time I see them, they remind me of a simpler time. <3 I think that having a positive romantic relationship to latch onto has helped me in getting through the separation of my parents, as well. They’re just so cute!

Isaac and Azazel: Little crying children are very fun to draw. Okay, that came out wrong, but you get the point. I started playing the Binding of Isaac in 2015 and ever since then it’s been probably my #1 favorite game, period. These two are my favorites to play as and I doodle them a lot! My headcanons are likely more developed than most of my own characters, oops. REPENTANCE HYPE!!

Mario and Luigi: Okay, the actual kings of my childhood. I’ve recently latched on to the Mario series for one reason or another, I think part of it is nostalgia and part of it is the cheerful aesthetics. Super Mario Galaxy was the childhood favorite, and since then I’m proud to say that I’ve 200%’d it! It helps that their designs are super cute, as well; I totally wanna grab lunch with Mario, he seems like the nicest guy ever. Oh, blame @metrognome129 for Luigi’s sweater btw. If you get it, you get it. :)

Happy holidays to you all, I hope you’re having a swell quarantined Christmas! Hopefully next year we’ll get to run around like crazy again. :D I miss my American friends!

More Bill and YV PLEASE I'm obsessed

Always happy to provide, anon! Here are some unseen sketches from The Archives™

Study, ~2 hr

Feeling weird about my process rn and figured it'd be good for me. Mainly trying to work on color, light as it plays on fur, shape language and behind-the-scenes stuff like layer blend modes and orders. I feel I learned a lot about light here, actually! Subsurface scattering is way more prevalent than I thought. That, and leaves are very reflective.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE KIDDOS!! Here’s a traditional piece I did for ‘em last year. Whaddya think of my aesthetic-y art photography? I'd say it's pretty Instagram-ready if I do say so myself. I made this piece for my wall and it’s still behind me, watching me as I type this in all its fuzzy glory!

Original description and remake comparison under the cut! :D

"In memories the Pines still play on a sunny summer's day." A happy belated birthday to my favorite kiddos!!! I cannot believe that they are 21 now, holy As spoken by the almighty @flynns-hellhole​, "Dipper is now old enough to go into a bar and order some milk" I did have most of this done yesterday but I was exhausted so I ended up going to bed before it was finished. Polished it up today and we're good to go! Technically this is a remake of something I did around 2018. It's crazy how much I've improved since then! Fun fact, the wooden keychain on the top left was made by me! My dad rented some time with his local creative building's laser cutter and I got hooked up with some awesome stuff. Hope you guys had an awesome summer! Stay safe and stay weird. <3

Um I don't know if you're taking requests rn, but are there any rules or conditions that we should be aware of?

I'm totally open to art suggestions always! No rules really; if I don’t think it’s appropriate or I don’t wanna do it I simply won’t do it, no harm done. Definitely far more likely to go through with ones about my favorite fandoms or special interests though. You're always free to ask if you’re unsure; I don't bite and I’m pretty much desensitized to all internet weirdness. :]

WAHHH WHAT !! Oh my gosh I'm over the moon rn this is so incredibly sweet, my day has been made five times over!

I absolutely love your interpretation of my sona, she looks like a batty berry bush I so totally want a plushie that looks exactly like this, holding gentle in my hands 🥺🥺🥺

Your character is insanely cute too I'm SUCH a sucker for silly cats, perfect animal tbh and SUCH A COOL AND CREATIVE DESIGN LIKE?? Too adorable !!

I really love your art, you inspire me right back (fantastic awesome colors, gorgeous linework and MMMM HALFTONE YUMMY) and it means the world to me that you like mine too! Thank you so so much for the kind words, the lovely art and the much-needed smile; you are the absolute sweetest. Much love!!

OMG OMG-

So if you don’t know who @chiiroptereh is, well okay-

BUT, they are one of my biggest art idols, and ONLY until yesterday I found out that they were FOLLOWING ME-

Bless your heart and your art chiiroptereh for liking my shitty little art style! :]

Your art is so wholesome! 💕

D'aww, thank you, anon! That's very kind of you to say, I appreciate it! Have some teeny tiny twinsies for your trouble <3

My part for the Stan twins "Trouble" lyrics comic collab! It felt so nice to be doing stuff again, and a full piece at that. I'm so so honored to be a part of this project with so many insanely talented artists that I looked up to.

How did you do the background for 'The Mabel Treatment'? I love it and I wanna know how you did it!

Heya, anon, sorry for the late reply! Thank you for the ask!

I wish I could tell you that it was some sort of laborious act of love for my craft but it's actually just a built-in filter in Photoshop called "Crystallize"! There was a period of time where I was trying to use filters as quick-fix backgrounds and crystallize was one of my favorites. Plop down a gradient, stick the filter on and bam, cool and artsy!

If you're looking to crystallize something of your own but you don't wanna sacrifice a goat to the Adobe tyrants check out Photopea, its got all of Photoshop's features right in your web browser. Directory is "Filter > Pixelate > Crystallize..."

Hope you had an awesome Halloween! /|\^. .^/|\
