Nirvana in Fire x I of the Storm (1/?) If I could face them If I could make amends with all my shadows I'd bow my head and welcome them (GIFs of a vid I made last year)
A landscape commission for @dreadfutures plus a little Lavellan. This was insanely challenging to make and ended up taking months to make; many hard but valuable lessons learned in the way. Endless thanks to Blue's patience and trust in this 🙌
I don't usually add the process video into the art post itself but here it goes below the cut
Part 3: Combining shapes, braids, and textures! And utilizing parts and fros!
Final/Part 4: Messing with straight hair!
Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!
Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

I'm pretty sure I watched Nirvana in Fire during the height of the pandemic so I'll confess I've forgotten a lot of the details and am mostly left with a general impression of the series, but I will never forget how much the scene of this woman sitting and talking for ten minutes while holding a piece of paper had me jumping on my chair about to go apeshit from the tension and quality of writing build up to this point
needed to draw ines again or i was gonna die

Description: An illustration set against a bright red background. At the bottom half of the illustration is a rabbit, mid run. It's head is pointed down and the iris of it's eye is the same red as the background. Text overlaying the image says 'If they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you.' Which is from Watership Down by Richard Adams.
Being a good person is a choice. Don’t let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.
Every single time you do something good, you’ve made a decision to make the world a little brighter.
Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, I’m proud of you, and I’m rooting for you!
The piece I created for Dames, Fantasy Warriors earlier this year! My idea was a ghostly hellhound knight inspired by the tales of ghost dogs like Black Shuck
Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.
Do you live in Massachusetts? Are you looking for some direct action to take? Guess what our shitty state house just did!
It’s passed in the house and going to the state senate as far as I can tell and it seems like they just snuck it in there because ???. So it’s time to harass your state senator and rep. You can find them here: https://malegislature.gov/Search/FindMyLegislator
Call them, email them, send them letters, protest outside their doors, whatever. Let them know this will not stand here
Good lord. Well, here is further reason to please avoid subscribing to artist's patreon pages through the Apple store/iOS since the policy changes (subscriptions made prior to Feb 26th are fortunately unaffected by this).
I am incredibly fortunate in that these $100 that will apparently be held back for over two months do not spell a financial detriment to me at all - but If I were new to the platform, really needed that $100, or the majority of my supporters happened to be iOS users, that could have been a huge issue.
So please, and especially when you go to support small artists that you want to see thrive who opened their patreon accounts recently, go through desktop so that they won't be hit with apple's extra fees and actually receive the funds in a timely fashion!
people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry
