Personally, all I could think of was Perry the Platypus when I first saw it.

Am I losing my mind or does this new alien from Steven Universe just remind of the porg from Star Wars: The Last Jedi???

apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist

it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile

here’s an example:

normal size

2x in paint

2x in waifu2x

so like, there’s that. go wild

Bob's Burgers Question and Adult Belcher Kids and Friends Job Headcanons

I recently got into Bob's Burgers and felt like drawing the Belcher Kids, Jimmy Jr., and Zeke as adults (9 years later). I do need some help with design suggestions though. I see Zeke as a tattoo around both upper arms guy (and maybe some in the back) but I'm stumped on ideas. As a ZekexTina shipper the only idea I have is one of his upper arms having one gardenia with weeds wrapping around the upper arm. I don't want Zeke's tattoos to only be about my preferred ship. So any suggestions for Zeke's tattoos will be appreciated. Now onto my headcanons.

Tina - Online (very) graphic novel artist. She makes her money off of making trashy romance novels but her true passion is her webcomic because it's not tied down by any editors and she can create it how she pleases.

Gene - Social media influencer. He started out with Linda trying to help his family advertise Bob's Burgers on the web. He transitioned by making money off of his Youtube channel (or whatever you call it in the Bob's Burgers universe) by doing whatever creative thing he thinks of such as wacky covers of popular songs or food reviews. His channel is whatever he wants it to be and you never know what he plans to do next.

Louise - At 18 she hasn't matured enough to take over her dad's restaurant. She mostly finds a way to cause chaos while still somehow keeping her job on the wharf. Once she grows a bit more, she decides she still wants to run the family business as she did when she was nine.

Jimmy Jr. - Tried to make it in the dancing industry only to see how corrupt it actually was and didn't want any of that. He teaches dancing instead and tries to be the parent figure his father never was.

Zeke - After getting rejected from joining the military (probably from ADHD but you decide), he finds himself going back to train under Bob Belcher to become a chef because Bob was one of the only people that didn't make him feel like a screw-up and he loved how much he felt at home in the Belcher family. He also does self-defense classes as well that Jimmy Jr. and Louise sometimes volunteer to help out (not that much of Louise though because she makes the environment too chaotic and nothing ever gets done)

This is very good for your first time drawing these two. Thank you for doing this suggestion! I think it’s adorable and I hope you had fun doing this.

Here’s a fun fact, the meaning of the name Suzie is “lily”. Lila is only one letter away from that. I know it’s just a coincidence, but I just found that interesting.

Mr. Sawyer x Suzie

Never actually drew them before, this is a good way to start it.

Song I Had to Share Because I Thought It Fit Unsuur When-

Everyone thought the player character fell to their death. I suppose it could be an Unsuur break up song if you're heartless enough to break up with the precious, funny, stupid, autistic guy./j

Honestly, it really depends. Of course, as an artist, I understand people have lives outside their art and the internet. Not to mention others' commissions to worry about while doing mine. On the other hand, if I paid them before they finished, I would be nervous if they took weeks/months to even get started. The people I commissioned usually were super fast and finished sooner than expected so I haven't had a long waiting experience yet. I think I only ever waited super long or never got a certain thing when I asked for requests or made suggestions. That's definitely when I'm more lenient with wait time because I'm not even paying them. Yeah, it's sucks to see an old request fade into obscurity but at least I didn't lose money over it.

The key to a long waiting period between an artist/customer relationship is communication. I'm more likely to wait longer without too much badgering if the artist is transparent about the likely waiting period. They don't owe you their life story, but it's nice to have an estimate so you don't spend all your time wondering. I think showing the progress with a watermark ( a pattern of watermarks if you want to be safe XD) during the waiting period could help to ease the customer's mind too. It might even help the customer catch something that can be changed easily in the early stage. I think I probably would pick a week but I honestly would be willing to wait longer if the artist gives a rough estimate on likely when things will be done. They don't need to explain why but it would make me feel good the artist isn't leaving me in the dark. Though the artists I commissioned I don't remember ever making me wait longer than a week (unless I count plushie commissions which are a completely different beast to digital art). TLDR Customers be patient with artists because they are only human. Artists and customers, respectfully communicate with each other during the process so no one is anxious or feeling duped for one reason or another.

I've been wondering about this for a while, but when you commission an artist, how long would you want your piece to be done? Blink once if a day, blink twice if two days, blin-

Just kidding, I made a poll :D

Not too fond of how I titled it. Nonetheless here it is! Honestly, I have two reasons as to why I made this.

1. I wanted to update Adult Debora's body type to be a bit chubby and turn her from a rectangle-shaped body to a pear-shaped body.

2. I felt like drawing Renata, Jackie, Wolfgang, Renata, and Edmund for CallMeNettie from fanfiction/AO3 so people could have some visual representation of what they look like in her "Slice of Life" series.

I also added Lorenzo and Siobhan into the image because they will eventually be relevant in my own spinoff for Nettie's story (more so Siobhan than Lorenzo) and I wanted to make an adult design for them for later.

Anyway, I hope you like the designs. There's going to be a part two to this that is just going to be me designing Debmund outfits that were either mentioned in Nettie's story or will be a thing eventually in my own story.

P.S. Hucksley is my headcanon last name for Edmund. It's not canon in Nettie's story yet but she gave me permission to use this last name in the spinoff whenever I get to it.
