Inspiration - Blog Posts

I drawing I did in my early teens (probably around 2007-2009).

Sketched it on paper, scanned it onto the computer and coloured in photoshop.

I've always loved games like Zelda that includes a lot of nature of magic, fantasy etc.

Something about a lone wolf surviving in the wild, where things aren't perfect but they are natural.

CHIMICUB IT IS!

So I was searching on how many years has it been since America's independence and this was the following "People Also Ask" section

“Mr. Partyface, do as I ask.” To summon the spirit, Mr. Partyface, you must light an evergreen candle, stand at your mirror at night, offer him a cup of black coffee, and say that sentence above 3 times. He will appear before you and will do anything you ask of him. Anything.

Be cautious, however. If you ask Mr. Partyface to do good things, he will remain calm, compassionate, and kind. Asking him to do things out of revenge, spite, jealousy, or solely to hurt others will cause him to become bitter and evil…and he may even lash out on you.

“Come home to Papa!”

Did I mention I love seeing Kefka and Terra interact in Dissidia?

HARLEQUIN

Kefka/Terra fanmix

Or, better known as, sensual songs that heavily inspire me while I write lewds. Some of this blame goes to @chroniclesofanempire too haha. I have specifically chosen songs for their lyrics, which mirror aspects of Kefka and Terra’s...”relationship”. ;) So, expect themes of obsession, creepy fascination, and dark sensuality.

“Within You” - David Bowie

“How you turned my world, You precious thing You starve and near-exhaust me Everything I've done, I've done for you I move the stars for no one

You've run so long You've run so far Your eyes can be so cruel Just as I can be so cruel.”

“Lullaby” - The Cure   (the video is good for bonus inspiration if you like creepy shit like I do)

“Quietly he laughs and shaking his head Creeps closer now, closer to the foot of the bed.”

“Script for a Jester’s Tear” - Marillion (bonus points for inspiring my pen name, because literally a lot of their songs are about a jester.)

“Too late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the play The game is over I act the role in classic style of a martyr carved with twisted smile.”

“Ava Adore” - The Smashing Pumpkins

“And I'll pull your crooked teeth You'll be perfect just like me You'll be a lover in my bed And a gun to my head We must never be apart We must never be apart”

“Blind Curve / Passing Strangers” - Marillion (I can’t help repeating, this album is literally about a jester.)

“Last night you said I was cold, untouchable A lonely piece of action from another town I just want to be free, I'm happy to be lonely Can't you stay away? Just leave me alone with my thoughts Just a runaway, just a runaway, I'm saving myself

Strung out below a necklace of carnival lights Cold moan, held on the crest of the night I'm too tired to fight.”

“Sing for Absolution” - Muse

“Tiptoe to your room A starlight in the gloom I only dream of you And you never knew.

Sing for absolution I will be singing Falling from your grace.”

The Eraser - Thom Yorke

“The more you try to erase me The more that I appear You know the answer so why do you ask I am only being nice Because I want someone, something You're like a kitten with a ball of yarn And it's doing me in.”

“Say it Right” - Nelly Furtado (this may be a pop song, but bruh the lyrics.)

“You either stand or you fall When your will is broken When it slips from your hand When there's no time for joking There's a hole in the plan.

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me.

From my hands, I could give you Something that I made From my mouth, I could sing you another brick that I laid From my body, I could show you a place God knows You should know the space is holy Do you really want to go?”

“Blinding” by Florence and the Machine (bruh literally a song about being held in a mind control state.)

“Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber Until I realize that it was you who held me under...

No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack And all around the world was waking, I never could go back 'Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open And finally it seemed that the spell was broken.”

Stay sexy AND creepy, my friends.

me, having no inspiration to write in my wip:

also me, writing inspiring things on tumblr for other young writers: do you hear something? procrastination who? sips tea

witchy writing tips!

i - can't find your inspiration? needing to focus? use essential oils! dab some on your paper, or even directly into the ink! peppermint is fantastic for calming the mind and helping to concentrate! rosemary is another great example of enhancing cognitive performance.

and for those techy witches scolding me for even suggesting essential oils on computers, no worries! place a drop or two on your inner wrist!

ii - mediate next to your wip! this is an amazing way to connect further with your characters and the world inside!

iii - light some candles! scented or unscented are fine. after all, it's the color that matters! yellow can help specifically with increasing activity, while brown promotes concentration.

iv - use crystals! i use crystals daily and they give me a lot of energy! use alexandrite for that little spark of inspiration!

v - tea! before, during, or even after writing, drinking tea has always aided me. i use a mixture of lavender and peppermint to boost my mood, spark creativity, and it's incredible for your immune system!

vi - make your own pen/enchant your pen

i suppose making your own pen is a bit far-fetched, right? so, perhaps you can find a feather that calls to you. doesn't sound appealing? enchant the pen you favor and let the pen do the thinking for you.

If you have been going through a rough patch in life, DO NOT GIVE UP. Think of something positive that you are looking forward to later... it could be getting your first car. Just DON'T GIVE UP.

That's my inspiring message for today and you should make it yours, too. If you want to hear what my rough patch is, DM me.

P. S, Reblog this if you agree!!

Sometimes it is difficult for me not to compare my art with that of others, I know it is because of insecurity and lack of appreciation for my work, but I guess the point is to compare not to envy, but to inspire, I can feel bad when comparing my own art, it is inevitable, but I decide to focus on getting better and improving each time, it's hard not to feel like you're less than other artists, But the important thing is to focus on improving, admire the art of others and allow yourself to receive praise from other artists as well as criticism ! I want to be better everyday and i will if i do my best! And you can do it to if you put your mind to it !

new commission post yay :DD a reblog would help out a TON, either way thanks so much for reading!

Hi!!! I loved the fifth chapter of Rakul and the third chapter of Shimsiam. I'm so happy that you are writing them, and I'm always excited when I see you upload a new chapter 🥰 I was wondering what stories inspired you to start writing about demons. Can you recommend some? 👀

Hello and thank you so much for the Ask! While I can’t think of any one story that inspired my Demon original characters, in my notes from 1/31/22 just over one year ago, I reference a few movies as story and place inspirations: Maleficent, Legend (1985), and The Last Unicorn. I’d written a little over 1k of a story, inspired by the dark and romantic lyrics of the song “The Killing Moon”, about a demon Thrawn who finds a teenage girl, Elise (female Eli) in the forest, captures and seduces her, then takes her to the Black Fortress as an offering to the evil Demon King there (demon Emperor Palpatine), but in the last minute lets Elise escape from the rest of the demons and he is imprisoned. Elise helps him escape his prison cell, but she is severely injured and near death as he flies her away from the Fortress. So there are several elements of that story that DID end up becoming part of Rakul, but that specific story is one of my few truly abandoned ideas. And it was reborn into Rakul and the sequel to Rakul, which will feature demon Thrawn and demon Thrass, as well as Elise as female Eli once again (which is at least half written, but the exact ending point is undetermined at the moment). That sequel was begun on Feb. 2, 2022, and the first chapter of Rakul was begun Feb. 23, 2022 and published on AO3 2/25/22. Anyway, most of the inspiration for all of these stories was simply some dark song lyrics and a certain mood. I actually didn’t start reading a lot of romance novels until later in 2022, and I actually haven’t read any demon stories like mine before, so there isn’t any specific novel I could recommend that inspired my demons unfortunately.

Finally, there IS a very lovely romantic fanfic about demon!Thrawn and human Eli already on AO3:

The demon and the mouse 😅 love it 💖💙

17, 19, and 25 for the artist asks!

Oh, hi there! 17 Let me see... Ur inspiration...

There is a super-talented author who ALWAYS made my mind blow up. Her stories are engaging and entertaining and can turn my worst day into my best in a few hours. I can read from her fluff and smut, whichever I need atm. And the feels what I get when I read those fanfics... Sometimes I didn't even finish a chapter, I needed to stop and search for my iPad to start drawing right away! In mid-sentence! And I can't concentrate on anything till it's finished... 

There is another super-talented author who I adore, and I love every fanfic from her. She usually makes me drop everything else too, and I just need to do a fanart of her fics because they are so fun, moving, and hot 🥰 Looking at you @foreverforty2 👀💙😇 

Other sources of inspirations are the same old boring places, the comics, the books, and of course endless hours of DAYDREAMING 😇🫠

19. Rec. Art Supply I hope I understand the question 😂 Uhm... Currently, I use a 2016 iPad pro with a 1. gen apple pencil for sketches and line art, and sometimes for coloring. But the number of layers are limited there. So, I don't recommend doing anything serious. But my lovely and sweet husband lend me over his 2021 iPad pro with the 2. gen apple pencil. That's the stuff! It's fast and has plenty of power to maintain as many layers as I wish. For anything serious, I would recommend that. 

25 Piece U can't finish... uh no!

I shamefully present you this:

I would be so happy If I would finish this! But sadly, I'm unable to continue it. I tried countless times, but every time I tried to touch it, it became worse...

It's frustrating and sad at the same time, but I hope one day I'll be able to finish it!

Ty for asking! 🥰💙😈🐁
