One day we will meet under the stars again

Day 33

Cooked up smth on my other blog teehee

This has all my art and writing! Also where I go insane over Caleb (more to come soon I SWEAR ONCE I AM FREEEEE)

Finally decided to draw my OC Avalie in the LaDS AU my best friend and I are cooking up haha- I'd long promised my friends I'd be redesigning her outfit to match the game but kept putting it off and had had enough yesterday!!!

Chat, you are warned- deciding to do a 'simple' sketch while you are being crushed by five million other MORE important things to do is a folly. Your brain will try to tell you this, too. Listen to it at your own risk.

Anyways, I had so so SO much fun with this! Planning to render this differently from my other artworks, so let's see how that goes! For now, have this cutie!

Her name's Avalie Sattari (the last name means star, totally NOT related to how she wanted to belong to the same skies that called Caleb away from her nosiree) and she's a pun-making menace with a heart of gold! Said heart of gold also makes her beat people up but hey atleast she looks cute while doing it (even if she comes back injured to the annoyance of her gege)

ALSO PEEK THE LITTLE STICKERS HEHE TOTALLY NOT INFLUENCED BY MY BIASES HERE NOPE (hell the sweatshirt she's wearing is a dead giveaway if the apples around her weren't enough lmao)

There's also little duckies!!! I love my drama queen bbg Rafayel :D he and I are menaces and that is how it should be!!!!

Switching between these every day

13th Hour

This one truly took so long to paint ;_; I've always loved paintings with lots of tiny hidden details but couldn't work on those very often because of my hand injury. But I decided to really indulge this time. Most of my paintings take 1-3 recording sessions but this one took 10 ahahaha

The character is Dante, a painter from my work in progress novel about artists titled 1000 Words Unframed. He's an eccentric one and likes to paint trompe l'oeil, aka illusions. Here he's painting a bunch of clocks onto his wall, but none of the clocks are accurate, some having 13 hours, one clock is a spiral, another is made of eyeballs lol. He is also a lover of cats, hence all the cat portraits and kitties hanging out. Here are some close ups of all the details!

Here's a timelapse of how I painted it. The bottles and table in the foreground started as 3D models in SketchUp. The rest is painted in Paint Tool SAI. The full HD image, 10 art videos, and PSD file will be DMed on Patreon.com/Yuumei on April 5th.

Broke my heart, stomped on it and then spit on it as they left 🐥 traveler twins are going to hit harder than anything else because sibling relationships have a shortcut to my heart y'all (why I'm so hellbent on separating Kanna and Yume (my OCs) is a mystery, however)

if I'm not gonna get it, I'm gonna draw it🥲

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Caleb 100% does the silliest things to cheer up MC and has absolutely no shame about any of them

Even as a teenager, when other boys were too proud and insecure, he danced about the kitchen singing a song out of tune at the top of his lungs because his pipsqueak had a bad day at school

When MC was teased because she couldn't do makeup as a young teen, he practiced with her until she was good at it, letting himself be the guinea pig

He writes her notes and leave them around the house to cheer her up, usually with really bad little doodles that she doesn't have the heart to tell him are terrible (he knows, it's deliberate)

She fell in a puddle at the park just before her hs graduation and she was mortified because she put in such an effort to look good and now had to walk home covered in mud. Caleb doesn't hesitate and deliberately falls in afterwards so they're equally muddy together

He has a running joke, where he'd make more and more weird faces at her until she laughed - now, he only has to make one before she bursts out laughing no matter how down she is

Caleb's priority is always MC's wellbeing - he loves her so much, too much to bother about things like what people think of him when her opinion is all that matters 😭
