Creating The Content I Want To See In The World: More Sleepy Derek Hale :] A Wolf Burrito. Worrito. Wolfarrito.

More of the boys making goo eyes at each other, because it’s what they deserve 💛

I’m really fond of the way just the lines look so you get those as well:

My friend K when I showed her this drawing: damn the man needs a BRA

And you're fire, but sweet hot coals beneath my feet warm blood, body and I lost it when you found me

This song always gets me in a soft mood (even more than usual, if possible) tried sth new with the hands, vaguely inspired by egon schiele

Work in progress so heres a little video rendering of my process so far. I was inspired by these photos of Tyler and knew I had to draw it. (Sorry for the awful quality of the Video 😭)

Hello~ I am late to the party but for the Artist's Asks, 3, 4 and 14 :D

Hi Ella! o/ <3 Never too late, thanks for sending them ♥︎ Artist ask game

3. your favorite piece(s)?

The piece I did for Actions Speak Louder than Words still holds such a special place in my heart, being the primary drive for starting to draw the boys - the rough sketch for this was the first teen wolf fanart I'd done in more than 10 years! Also my first time drawing Derek ever haha. It took a lot of practising especially Stiles before i was able to finish it, but for the better part of a month I'd keep going back and working on it bit by bit.

The Heart Boner drawing gets a special mention just because it went from idea to finished drawing in just over an hour (the song came on and i put it on repeat until i finished) and perfectly encapsulates the kind of intense focus I've been enjoying since mid-december haha. It's also just the right amount of silly and tooth-rotting cute for me!

4. piece you wish got more love?

Honestly, none - I'm still completely taken aback at the response to everything, I was expecting maybe 5 people to interact! If you've ever reblogged more than 1 of my drawings with a comment in the tags, you best bet I recognize your handle when it happens, I get so excited every time LOL

14. whats your favorite thing about drawing?

There's the fact that I get to create whatever silly little thought comes across my mind, however niche - sort of in extension of that I love that drawing is for me, with no outside expectations or deadlines. I get to have this one thing that is subject only to my own whims: whether completely redo a piece, leave it for a month and then return, even just abandon it - I am free to do so. I can choose only to draw things that make me happy and that is amazing! It's really nice to have a hobby that's completely separate from my professional life - although it did come in handy for some very over-the-top diagrams for a couple exams, especially neuroanatomy lol

I believe in super wingman McCall

I guess the stylists/showrunners expect the audience to go 'oo aa sexy' at how Derek wears his jacket but all i can think is 'aw he's shy look at him hiding his fingies'

My friend said it's very baby-girl coded of him when I talked about it so I had to

5. how would you describe your art style?

Attempted to answer Ren here ♥︎ If anyone has a better suggestion for how to describe my style I'm all ears haha

6. favorite thing to draw?

It's a toss-up between hands and dynamic full-body poses! (:

25. what size canvas/paper do you use?

I usually start with the standard 'square' or A4 resolutions in procreate, so around 2000 pixels for the shortest width. Drew in paint tool sai for years and picked up a terrible habit of working on small canvases because the texture of the brushes didn't scale well. So until relatively recently i worked on like 400x600 pixel canvases LOL

It's been so amazing seeing all your gorgeous Sterek art on my dash. What a gift! For prompts, I'd love to see them sharing/swapping something meaningful to the other (e.g. Stiles wearing something iconic of Derek's, or perhaps Derek adding a tattoo that reminds him of Stiles?)

S: What are you doing here? Huh? This is private property. D: I did not stand like that. S: Love to break it to you, big guy - this is a bonafide 1:1 recreation. I remember it very well.

TYSM 😭😭

Your suggestion was really sweet, sorry my brain went in such a silly direction 🥹 I've another one in the works <3 I'm imagining this a few years down the line, i'm just really attached to stiles' buzzcut!

I'm certain this moment is very meaningful to stiles though (and yes derek, you did stand like that, you weirdo)

My subspecialty, i guess you could call it, is chronic pain - i did my master's thesis on sleep disorders in patients with chronic pain - so i've got a LOT of thoughts about the concept of 'stealing pain' in teen wolf.

The current definition of pain is

"an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage"

because pain is not purely a physical phenomenon, it's an experience not necessarily tied to any physical damage.

Of course you can delve into the different types of pain and argue that nociceptive and neuropathic pain is due to biochemical triggers (inflammation/tissue damage and nerve damage, respectively) as opposed to nociplastic pain - but even those are heavily modulated by how we perceive them.

In one of my psych classes we were shown a powerful example: In a segment from a local news station a lady had won a competition and as a reward she got a handful of minutes to 'empty out' a kitchen supply store - after all the excitement was done and she was being interviewed post-haul, suddenly a bystander points out that she's standing in a large puddle of blood. She'd dropped a knife into her foot at some point, resulting in a quite large gash. She'd felt nothing until someone pointed it out - endorphins, adrenaline, the works. (She was immediately attended to and recovered completely).

Studies show that pain perception increases dramatically in young, healthy subjects who were sleep-deprived even just for 24 hrs, and in the same vein stress, anxiety and distress also increases pain perception.

So where does that leave the idea of stealing pain in teen wolf? Rather than taking a physical representation of 'pain', maybe it's more stealing the perception of pain, the fear and distress?

Kind of a romantic notion, isn't it?
