Crossmare - Blog Posts

I didn’t feel like colorin so it’s mostly black n white >;P

Came out more manga-y then intended, but that’s fine

Originally, it was gonna have text, but since I didn’t go that direction, it no longer does

Unfinished comic thing …idk… kinda cringe ngl -///‘-

Only using the “blocker” thing bc I’m legitimately a bit embarrassed by it.

Later

3/4 of these were done on my phone, sorry if it’s a bit sloppy lmao

Ughh judging myself for this one boys (gender inclusive)

I don’t even know why it’s so bad to me, I’ve posted worse 😫🎇

I really like how this one came out, I had a lot of fun with it.

But yeah I finished their designs sorta :D

I’m seriously so happy with this one, came out basically exactly how I wanted it too. that never happens. literally fuckin jittering rn from how excited I am to share it.

Took 10 fuckin hours tho, almost on the dot too. (10:01)

Longer version | w.out background

Shading | simple shading | “flats”

Line art | sketch | pre-sketch

Hope you enjoyed looking at it as much as I did making it :]

Once of my krossmare posts got some attention today, for some reason, got me thinking of them again, so here’s some quick doodles based off text convos I found on Pinterest

Love the gradual decline of my drawings XD. tried to keep up the same vibe tho

Drew with a stylus for the fist time in a while, and holy shit I missed it. wasn’t even a good one, but it fuckin worked

Drawings w.out the text

Texts used (in case they’re hard to read or if anyone wants them)

Nightmare comforting Cross bc he was feeling dysphoric :>

My version of “if they were human” because I really needed to practice drawing humans again.

It’s a bit wonky in the places I didn’t feel like drawing (mf hands) but I think it turned out well enough

Sorry for the short hiatus, felt a bit to soon to post “ship art” after the underverse news.

Was so depressed about that I had to go read a really long fanfiction for an entirely separate fandom XD

Hope Jakei’s gonna end up alright no matter what she ends up doing, and I wish her luck, that decision’s gonna be tough.

extra colors | base coloring

Line art | beginning

Bonuses- sorta final designs (I ended up changing a lot in the final piece + Cross looked a bit to young for my liking in the idea sketches) and a stupid doodle

The struggle I had trying to make nightmare look as gender-neutral as possible was ridiculous, but I think I got it in the end product.

Eye strain (?)

Self indulgence post. I rewatched ghostbusters, so my brain said I had to do this. That’s it

I don’t even know how that type of thing would work in their world XD I just wanted to draw it

(Cross tec. not in the outfit, but I thought he looked nice in the coat, and the style of the coat gives me ghostbuster vibes, so yeah

Also Nightmares fazing through the floor if it wasn’t obvious. I don’t think I rendered that idea very well

(_ _;)

This one don’t got to much to it, did most of it on one layer, so here are the “flats” and a stupid initial doodle I did (eye contact btw)

Honestly that doodle disturbs me a bit

Something about the colors and the fuckin “led paint stare” I accidentally gave him… idk

I really like drawing in cool tones, so I did that. Also I wanted to draw Cross with a lovesick expression, cause that’s my favorite way to draw him, if it wasn’t obvious.

mans would probably die of embarrassment if anyone caught him making one though

The posing is based off two Top Gun screenshots (which are below with the other stuff). Was in the middle of a severe art block and watching it fixed it XD

Everyone should start watching Top Gun (the og) when having artblock /silly

Honestly that movie gave severe killer x dream vibes, but I just wanted to draw Crossmare, I missed my ship.

Haven’t seen much content for it lately. It’s driving me crazy :)

no outline | shading | flats

line art | sketch | pre-sketch

Bonus’: me having fun cause I got bored mid-piece & lazy screen shot “redraw”

Top Gun Screenshots: paramount

it’s a bit later then I intended, but them

Don’t know if it’s visible or not, but I was trying some stuff.

also gave Cross extra face marks :D (they’re there for a reason. I ain’t saying why yet) and, if anyone noticed, the reason why his face wasn’t showing in my last few posts was cause I was debating putting them there

Alt:

w.out extra line art | shading | flats

“Line art” | sketch | pre sketch

Bonus-a “helpful chart”-

their alt designs by me

Texture practice shit

came up with the new outfit I’m using for cross, it’s not all that different XD

Alt: cause I was fuckin with filters. I enjoy how the colors look on this one more, but the weird pattern thing it does is rather annoying

flats | lineart

Sketch | pre-sketch

Bonus: The fit with | without labels

It’s rather simple, though I think the differences are enough to be noticeable :)

(I needed to keep him somewhat similar bc I cannot recognize him when drawing, plus I’m bad at redesigns anyway 😬👍

Workin on an au …sorta

…it’s off and on progress

though recently I’ve been thinking of a lot of dialog for it

(that’ll come later… [if i continue this as planned]

June got me feelin a bit silly goofy honestly, the posts this month have been a lot less fruity then usual XD

Idk, just found it ironic

I ain’t breakin up the drawings this time, but here’s the versions without lighting shit

I like the second drawing a lot more then the first, was more fun to work on

Sometimes I forget foreshortening can be interesting to work with, and not just annoying to deal with

Bonus doodles

I haven’t completely figured out Cross’s fit for this au, but it doesn’t matter much at the moment anyhow, since he’s still in his old stuff at the moment

Bisexual lighting or somethin idk. Was gonna draw something cute for my first post during pride month… but obviously that didn’t happen

finally decided to come up with a design for passive though :>

I don’t ship Cross with Passive, though I think he’d be protective of him. Some info dump bellow & other stuff if curious

(goin that route where Nightmare and Passive are two people that share a body and Passive is still a child that happens to front when Nightmare’s weak, napping, or feeling soft

The base of the image is someone found out about Night’s alt, because he got badly damaged while fighting, and they tried to take advantage of it. Though Cross saw and wasn’t having any of that

regular shading | extra colors | flats

Line art | sketch | pre sketch

Bonus: drawing I didn’t finish & other doodle w/it + idea drawing for passive

Basically, when Nightmare isn’t able to, he’s made it Cross’s mission to bodyguard Passive. Passive is a bit scared of Cross, because his first impressions of Cross are him harming other monsters, but he trusts him because Nightmare does. Passive eventually learns that Cross isn’t that bad and eventually gets along with him. Passive and Nightmare are close because they’ve been sharing a body for quite a long time, and have gotten to know/imprint on each other, plus Nightmare did help him when he needed the help. They both go by Nightmare when they’re the one fronting, for obvious reasons, though Passive nicknamed goopy (Ik there’s a better name for that form, but I don’t remember it rn) North, because of the crown that he has the ability to see from when Passive alts (and he wouldn’t let him call him goopy)

and when North alts; Passive just goes by Passive (for now anyhow, haven’t came up with anything creative). Credits-

Based off this⤵️

Idk… went on tiktok for the first time in a while and kept seein the Maxley ship, and they give off the same vibe to me, so I did a screen redraw, sorta anyhow

W.out background | extra color | flats

Line art | sketch | pre sketch

Bonus. Drew Max for practice, and then Cross directly after to see its effects to my style. had interesting results
