I was feeling some stylized Whiteout and Darkstalker. They both have amazing designs that are really fun to draw!
Mmm… potato
had to wait until i finished the fire side of the tree before I started on HiveWings (so I could use my Nightwing Design as an influence). In my AU/redesign, seawings can actually spit very hot water, but they have the either be INCREDIBLY WELL HYDRATED or at least mostly submerged in water, and the amount they spit is pretty limited. IceWings can switch between their frost and a cool mist, but the mist requires training and a LOT of control
ikr??? she needs so many hugs poor touch-starved baby!!!! I just did this art of her bc she needs a hug and I want Turtle to give me the ability to hug her w/o pain/injury because she NEEDS IT
Why. Why. Why does.
WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT PERIL MORE?
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
been rereading wof for like the 20th time and I could not appreciate it enough before. Hhmbjhvghcfggfdgfdfdhsggfdx
“Reader is implied aro/ace” jokes on you, I am aro ace >:)
I saw the Platonic Marriage and I love the concept of that🥰 also cause Alastor is an amazing character to begin with. Only if you have time or your ok with it👍 don't forget to hydrate and eat😸
yes ofc!! i would marry this man in a heartbeat we could be aces together<33 and thank you plz make sure u get something to eat and drink some water!!! take care!! warnings: suggestive ideologies (from angel dust) my takes on alastor's beliefs, reader is implied to be aro/ace the rest is fluff!!
🦌❤️platonic marriage w/Alastor hcs❤️🦌
this man would be a husband just to be a husband ok shfsj
who better to marry than his dearest best friend? you both do everything together, share all the same interests, both have the same standards and tastes! it's called "best friend FOREVER" for a REASON
yes you guys are partners... partners in CRIME >:)
alastor always found the idea of marriage very alluring but always despised the physical/sexual aspect of it.
alastor loves to take part in the "generic" aspects of being married. he enjoys cooking for you (and vice versa) and being domestic, taking you on outings, linking arms, holding hands, dancing with you, why should any of that be considered romantic?
the both of you appreciate and enjoy being devoted to each other and having a strong connection
also cuddles!! okay yes cuddles. as we all know alastor is not one for physical affection however did we see him get thrown around like a ragdoll by rosie? yes are you and him going to curl up like cats on a couch together? absolutely
wedding rings? nah. friendship rings 👍
now, let's see what the other hazbins think!!
charlie absolutely thinks you two are the cutest!! very supportive of the both of you and your relationship. vaggie is pretty much the same, though very indifferent as she doesn't like alastor very much lol
angel dust visibly had a loading circle over his forehead when the both of you told him you were married platonically. he assumed from the start ya'll were smackin' monkeys, but you're just married for the fun of it?? okay
husk is just terrified of the both of you lol
niffty has two people to crawl all over and give roach crowns to so 💃
SECOND POLL!! GO!!! this one will be shorter than the last one in terms of duration BUT there are more poll answers !! incorporating the top answers from the last poll AND as many from the tags that i could summarize :) might be a third poll after this depending on the results since i CANNOT physically lower the number of poll answers for the life of me.. theres just so much i wish to know
reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
tysm!!!
I hope @musedotmuofficial likes this!!!
So, I saw this image on Facebook, and it was supposedly showing what Queen Nefertiti would have looked like in real life:
Now, I thought this AI generated garbage was just truly terrible on a number of levels; first off, she looks wayyyyyy too modern - her makeup is very “Hollywood glamour”, she looks airbrushed and de-aged, and as far as I’m aware, Ancient Egyptians didn’t have mascara, glitter-based eyeshadows and lip gloss. Secondly, her features are exceptionally whitewashed in every sense - this is pretty standard for AI as racial bias is prevalent in feeding AI algorithms, but I genuinely thought a depiction of such a known individual would not exhibit such euro-centric features. Thirdly, the outfit was massively desaturated and didn’t take pigment loss into consideration, and while I *do* like the look of the neck attire, it's not at all accurate (plus, again, AI confusion on the detailing is evident).
So, this inspired me to alter the image on the left to be more accurate based off the sculpture’s features. I looked into Ancient Egyptian makeup and looked at references for kohl eyeliner and clay-based facial pigment (rouge was used on cheeks, charcoal-based powder/paste was used to darken and elongate eyebrows), and I looked at pre-existing images of Nefertiti, both her mummy and other reconstructions. While doing this, I found photos of a 3D scanned sculpture made by scientists at the University of Bristol and chose to collage the neck jewellery over the painting (and edited the lighting and shadows as best as I could).
Something I see a lot of in facial recreations of mummies is maintaining the elongated and skinny facial features as seen on preserved bodies - however, fat, muscle and cartilage shrink/disappear post mortem, regardless of preservation quality; Queen Nefertiti had art created of her in life, and these pieces are invaluable to developing an accurate portrayal of her, whether stylistic or realistic in nature.
And hey, while I don't think my adjustments are perfect (especially the neck area), I *do* believe it is a huge improvement to the original image I chose to work on top of.
I really liked working on this project for the last few days, and I think I may continue to work on it further to perfect it. But, until then, I hope you enjoy!
Remember, likes don't help artists but reblogs do!
