Itsmeif - It'sMeIF

where do u get the inspiration for the people in ur fab art? do u use references, if so where from? :)

Honestly from all over the place! Most commonly nowadays, I flip through a bunch of art/photos on twitter or instagram.  I especially take advantage of the “saved” feature on instagram, which lets me look at a bunch of really pretty pictures at once.  Here’s some examples of what that might look like, with the artist’s @ ’s added in. Warning, big photo dump incoming––and it’s only a fraction of the total number that I actually have, which is definitely around 2000 or so.

I’ll also save a lot of art (read: about 800 pics at this point) to a folder on my computer.  Recently, quite a few of these have been coming from twitter; here’s a few examples of artists that I’ve had a soft spot for (handles included):

I tend to go absolutely nuts with finding stuff that inspires me, but I wouldn’t necessarily spend excessive time on it––when I say go nuts, I mean that I have a sustained interest in seeking out inspiration.  The pics I have were collected over the course of five years or so, and the ones from near the beginning are somewhat different from recent ones. 

If you’re trying to build up a collection, you likely don’t need to spend hours a day searching for this stuff (even more than twenty or thirty minutes is probably too much, unless you’re explicitly doing concept work and you need tons of references). If, while browsing tumblr or instagram or twitter, you come across a picture that really strikes you as beautiful, just save it. Over months and years of selecting choice pictures, you’ll eventually cultivate a taste in art/photos/whatever that will definitely affect the development of your style as you keep making art. Sort of a side benefit of this whole ordeal.

Have another little drawing :)

RED DEAD REDEMPTION II O4/?      Algernon Wasp’s studio in Saint Denis

Rabidraygun and I made a game last weekend for Full Moon Game Jam! She did the programming and I did the art :D It’s a 2 player co-op game (you can also play solo) about a kid who’s afraid of the dark trying to meet up with her ghost bud that can’t go into the light. Check it out on itch.io here!

what shared trauma do they have??

so okay along with the abandonment and guilt issues bc of venom (written here), they left the sewers and attempted to live in the city on their own, they end up coerced/kidnapped into tel-kars (god rest his canon soul) crime family, because do you know how much baby klyntar cost on the black market?? these things are killing machines and we found two just wandering around!

more art by @freedomconvicted​, tel-kar dresses them up so they are Classy (penguin shaped child sleeper gives me so much dopamine)

tel-kar pretty much treats them like shit and like tools, forcing them into dangerous situations for heists and shit, and does a bunch of fucked up shit to them like throwing red into a soundproof metal room w no light for a week as punishment for misbehaving and its dark in there like the sewer and she reverts to her feral goo form… and then he makes sleeper think that he’ll let her out if sleeper does everything he tells him to perfectly, like, stand in a corner for 12 hours and dont move a muscle, and now sleeper is a perfectionist and red is afraid of the dark, amongst even more emotional and verbal abuse into their adulthood

I’m playing DBH

Glad i picked up Dan’s run, his 90s melt my heart & Ghostie is pure cuteness, also his bike.

I'm stupid late on this whole spiderverse train because watched the movie like 3 weeks ago😂 but Noir is easily my favorite and I really enjoy your headcanons for him. I really agree with your take on him and Peter B, I can totally see potential there and everything. So I was thinking if you want to maybe share some more of your thoughts on the two and their interactions? Regardless if you want to, I hope you have a great day ☺️

one can never be too late for good things like spiderverse, welcome to the fandom! I’m really glad you like my headcanons for him especially since they were made in a feverish haze out of my love for him (easily my fave too alongside peter b can u tell) Hmmmm more thoughts eh? Sure, I really wanna procrastinate anyway. This could be kinda shitty because, once again, I thought of these in a fly

(Wow this is long I’m quite surprised)

TW: Nazis, war, PTSD, Existential crisis? (big question mark here), this is gonna get depressing for a while basically 

Like I said, Peter B and Noir are the dads of the group, but between the two of them? They’re like two tired brothers that sometimes become crazy enough to start some shit
