Negan/Rick Fic List

I know Ashe is the spotlight but can we just take a moment to appreciate just how tender these two are to each other? Echo looks so innocent and McCree is so obviously soft towards her, it adds a whole new level to McCree’s smooth nature in-game. People tend to think of McCree as a talkative but somewhat rough man, and then you see him treating her (an AI and a Robot and an Objective at the same time) almost as a princess because she is so delicate in nature, like an actual person. It warms my heart. Also Echo calling him “Cowboy”, and McCree calling her “Partner”… my heart just melted a bit. 

Some people asked me to do a tutorial on drawing rocks, and since I found myself drawing rocks a lot these days, I thought I would share some things that I do.

Note: I am not a professional artist nor have I received much professional instruction. I am self-learned and thus prone to error. If you see anything wrong with the above contents, feel free to point it out, and generally, take this whole thing with a grain of salt. You don’t have to draw rocks this way.

And since this is my first time making a tutorial, feedback on readability/helpfulness would also be welcome, so that I can have a better idea of what to do in case I make another one.

“What’s the point of all this?” Echo pulled a tie from the drawer and looked it over, tilting her head, “The pattern is nice, but I don’t really see the point of putting it on myself.”

“Well, tragically, ma colombe, not all of us look as good naked as you,” said Maximilien, leaning on the wall and watching as she rifled through his closet. There was a manic methodicalness about it, almost like she was looking for something, but wasn’t sure what she was looking for. 

“You keep saying ‘naked,’” Echo said with a chuckle, “How can something not even meant to have clothes be naked? Is a supercollider naked? Is the space station naked?”

“Well I don’t see anything wrong with appreciating a good suit,” said Max, folding his arms.

“It doesn’t interfere with your heat venting?” Echo tilted her head.

“The only omnics that should worry about heat-venting are…” Max glanced off, “…Labor units.”

“It’s all the same frame, isn’t it?”

“I’m not—” Max caught himself, “I’m a businessman.”

“A business-omnic,” Echo said brightly. He loved and hated the way she said ‘omnic.’ It was so matter of fact and natural to her when for the rest of the world the word had been a boot on the side of his head, pinning him to the ground. 

Echo stepped up to him and fiddled with his collar, flipping it up. He wondered if she knew that bothered him or if she was just being curious like with everything else. Probably the former.

“It is the same frame,” Max admitted, not meeting her eyes, “You take away the suits, the ties, the cufflinks, the shoes… there’s very little that stands between me and a ditch-digger.”

“Hm,” Echo unbuttoned the top button of his collar and loosened his tie.

“Forward,” said Max, putting his hands on his hips as she kept unbuttoning.

“You’ve been around humans too long,” said Echo, smirking, “Just bear with me.”

She parted his shirt, baring the metal of his chassis, and turned him around to face the mirror in his closet. “What do you see?”

“…basic Omnic frame,” said Max, dropping one hand from his hip with indifference, “One of millions.” 

“No, it’s your frame,” said Echo, putting her hand on his shoulder, “How many ditch-diggers would build a casino when it’s not even legal for Omnics to gamble?”

“…This ditch-digger,” said Max, looking at his own reflection.

“On the right track,” said Echo, smiling.

“Well if you get to undress me, perhaps you’ll permit–” Maximilien pulled his tie off.

“What?” said Echo

Max looped the tie over Echo’s head, re-fastening the knot around her neck. They both looked back at the mirror. Echo glanced down at the tie around her neck and then back at Max, arching an eyebrow. “See?” said Max, “It is a good look.”

Echo snickered and elbowed him.

a quick grass tutorial

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad

1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.

I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.

2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.

3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.

4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.

5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.

6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.

7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.

and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.

Arthur and Clark in JL movie

“You make me nostalgic for a love that hasn’t even happened yet.”

(Image credit: Twitter@kimtomhardy)

Some thoughts I have after viewing JL for the second time solely to look at Arthur and Clark. As many who have followed me for a while know, I drew my first AquaSupes fanart back in 2015. It’s just a random rare pair that pops up in my head one day that seems hopeless from the start. Even when all the trailers of JL appeared, I never held hope that Arthur and Clark’s relationship would get explored in any ways. And it’s true. No interaction in the movie apart from the fight, Clark did not even look at Arthur once, they don’t even touch on the subject it’s Arthur who saved Clark back in MoS.

Amazing how the whole movie full of interaction and i keep being drawn to a relationship that is like shadows at noons, goings unheralded, passings unmourned…

But action speaks louder than word, doesn’t it?

Cleaning out my filing cabinet, I found this handout that I made for my mini-comics class.  Hope it’s helpful!  Remember, it ain’t only for comics.  Self-publish short stories, collections of drawings or sketches, or blank for journals/sketchbooks, etc.
