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

Your designs always have such lovely details. May I ask, how do you find the time to do so much intricate detailing? I feel like it takes me forever to do stuff like that and it's a bit discouraging. I end up sticking with simpler designs despite loveing more detailed designs. I've tried using custome brushes but your details look so much more natural.

it’s 50% me finding lazier ways to make details and 50% me just liking detail work a lot! here’s stuff that might make things easier for you tho~

Somewhat belated entry for day 14 of @symbruary - Favorite fanworks! 

If I tried to do a pic for all of the amazing, wonderful fics I’ve read, I would never get anything else done ever :’D So I tried to narrow it down to the ones that have stuck with me for months and months after first reading them. Been meaning to draw fanart for these for ages, so this was a great opportunity!

FYI before clicking links: all of these are Mature/Explicit

Dust to Dust by amaronith, kitausuret (@kitausuret, @amaronith)

Slow-burn SymbiOT3 fic that I absolutely adore. I love how it takes Eddie and Flash a while to even see each other face to face! There’s so much drama and fun dialogue, and Andi is an absolute gem. The plot itself is super interesting, and I can’t wait to see how it interweaves with Flash and Eddie getting to know each other better.

I think I’m starting to like you by softgrungeprophet (@softgrungeprophet)

Yet another SymbiOT3, this is the first in the Peachy series! The series as a whole is wonderful, and the character development for all three is beautiful. Especially Flash coming to terms with gender identity stuff! The series always gives me such a warm cozy feeling reading it. 

How I Met my Brother and Regretted Everything by Prince_of_Trash (@princess-of-peachtrees)

To be completely 100% honest, I did not care at all about Carnage as a character before reading this fic. Now I fucking love him and his rat-bastard self. AND RED, OH MY GOD RED. This fic has one of my favorite characterizations of Sleeper, and is an absolutely hysterical ride. Even with the funny setup, tho, it still does a great job of hammering home the sadder scenes with amazing skill.

The Dangers of Investigative Journalism by NecroFaix (@fictionplumis)

SymbiOT3, but this time with Movie!Eddie! The characterizations in this fic are fantastic, and I especially love how much it delves into Flash’s head (the angst is delicious). The pacing is phenomenal, and the progression of Eddie and Flash’s relationship feels incredibly natural in a way that makes me feel for them and their beloved goo alien when anything goes wrong.

All of these are fics that I love to go back to for inspiration, or just a fun time! I highly recommend checking out all of these wonderful authors and their other works as well! 

Obviously there are also fantastic artists in our fandom ( @d-erm, @owlapinart, and @freedomconvicted to name a few!) I’d list them all but others have wonderfully done that already, so I suggest perusing the rec lists I’ve reblogged because we have so many incredible people providing quality Venom content <3 

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 :)

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse → Concept Art

I’m calling it: the official ship name for Toothless x Light Fury should be NightLight.

Dreamworks knows what’s up so they’ll probably sell Fury Nightlights.

It’s happened before and it’s bound to happen again so I’m backing up my brush settings in the form of this tumblr post just in case SAI decides to throw them out ;0;

Feel free to take them and mess with them, I got most of them from online anyways!

Cloud and Space brushes are better light on dark backgrounds btw And Halftone Textures are by Immuni on dA x
