I MAYYYY BE SLIGHTLY LATE FOR KAGEPRO DAY BUT. I GOT SURGERY TODAY SO EVERYBODY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!! LOOK AT ME WITH LOVE IN YOUR EYES AND HEART!!!

Bro what does it take for my posts to show up in the tags. I can't take this.... I must be observed by the wider world, it's getting critical out here.

Genshin yaoi has driven me places I'd previously never consider entering with a gun. I'm enjoying myself. Thus, take my Kaveh and Alhaitham HC designs… brownification city! As always!

Design reasoning under the cut.

Starting with Kaveh! My whole thing with him was keeping him feeling sharper compared to Alhaitham, with softer shapes coming to defined points. I think most of it is pretty self-explanatory from the picture, but y'know. Direction was also fun to consider with Kaveh, with the repetitive use of shapes going upwards and downwards in his face. :3 An angular guy! He's someone who cares about keeping up appearances a lot, so he's designed as someone who takes care to maintain clear skin and nice makeup. His eyes are also very deep set, especially compared to Alhaitham. Contrast between the two of them with mirrored elements was the main goal. I really couldn't think of much aside from that, especially since going for the outfits was an entirely different beast.

Next is Alhaitham! Alhaitham's meant to feel blunt, but less cutting compared to Kaveh, like the difference between a claymore and sword, I guess. I didn't think of this comparison at the time, but it's funny. Especially as the weapon comparisons are inverted from what they use. (PROBABLY! I HAVEN'T MET EITHER IN GAME YET!) His shapes are stronger and more square-ish compared to the Kaveh's triangular shit. Most of his features aren't nearly as upturned, and he's softer overall. Y'know when BL characters have absurd lips? Yeah, that was the justification there. He's kissable, and his tits are fat. What more could you want from a man? /j The moles and hyperpigmentation were just choices I thought were cute. I never see hyperpigmentation depicted in art! While it's minor here, it's the thought that counts.

Other notes are skin tone, of course. They're both brown. As a desi guy, I couldn't leave the [all that] of Sumeru alone. <3 Kaveh is darker than Alhaitham, and I thought a cooler skin tone contrasted with his hair and outfit nicely. (Same with warm-toned Alhaitham, it goes so nicely with the jewel blues and greens.) There's this weird dichotomy with Alhaitham as the burly brown guy top and. Kaveh white twink which I'm NOT subscribing to, thank you very much. Also why Kaveh got a larger nose! I think it suits him, and I'm also not a fan of the way I see artists draw exclusively hooked noses as the definitive nose that all brown people have. Honestly, I should have considered body hair for them as well, but I didn't want to think about the natural colours lol… Face HCs are my favourite thing to draw, and if you've gotten to reading this far, I thank you.

MY DND CAMPAIGN MEMBERS ARE SWAMPING TUMBLR NOW. Perhaps I will post more of my Finch art... despite being in Touchstarved hell, I dooo love this oc.... we'll see if the world wishes for this.

Most recent art of my GUY!!! This is my dnd character Finch (he/they/she/it/bird) and I'd shoot him on sight if I could. This is my most recent sketch of him that I did as a warmup but I like it soo.

God I never use tumblr like ever. I live exclusively on my priv twitter BUT!! I have a huge backlog of oc art I never posted. I ought to do that.

Oh my god, your Martin design is exactly how I picture him? Your jmarts fill me with so much joy because that's Martin! That's him right there! It's so nice to see jmart how I picture them

THANK YOU!! I'm really glad to hear that.. I often worry that my Martin is a touch too far from canon. Here's a little diagram from July on how I draw him. I tend to fudge the details depending on the piece, but I try to keep these consistent.

Hi I hope you don't mind my asking, could I use your Martin art as an avatar with credit? No worries if not!!

I don't mind at all, feel free to!! In general, I'm totally fine with my art being used with credit, so long as it isn't commercial-usage.

For anyone else wondering, you can totally use my art without asking, I'm usually flattered one would like it enough to use as an avatar. :3c

How much u love Martin >:)

VERY much. <3 I do not think I could make half the Martin-centric art I do without being a bit in love with him. If I'm being completely honest, he's probably gotten Jon beat as my favourite TMA character. I love asian people (hc) I love fat (SORTA hc. not really. you people just need to make this man fat more I swear to god) trans guys (hc) I love love. What is a Martin without some meat on his bones...
