This Sketchbook was originally for my 12th grade art class but I didn't end up using it much
One assignment was to draw things that contrasted, so I turned to my characters
I will always adore that smiling face of Psychoe's
This was the page where I created the main character in the first arc of my comic series (i promise i will work on it, the release of Hazbin Hotel's pilot episode has given me the inspiration to do so) Desmond Eldrich!
As you can clearly see, I have difficulties completely killing characters, especially with the way the worlds systems work. So I tried to make a character for the sole purpose to have them die.... and I ended up with sweet lil Desmond here... and I just couldn't do it.
Stuff from when I was fleshing out his character a bit
One thing I've noticed when I draw characters is that their hair is almost always a floof with curls. Especially the boys. I can't seem to keep it from doing that so I try other things to make each character's design as unique as their personalities
Examples of this:
Kira has a very specific floof to his hair and is almost always wearing his grey hoodie
Grim's hair floof is in the same shape as Kira's but much more curled and he usually wears a tattered coat (think Garry from Ib)
Satan's hair always does this weird "swoop" to one side
Nova always has his stitch marks across his face and wearing a white suit
Miyoto has a very curly hair floof that covers their right eye (unless in a non-human form)
Karmen's hair is very long and her bangs cover her eyes
Lucifer has less of a floof that covers his right eye and he is almost always wearing something that covers his neck injury, and said thing usually ends up covering his mouth too
I could honestly go on but I'll stop here
Jegus, I'm afraid to hear what this guy has to say about demisexuality, in which you do not find people sexually attractive unless you have a deep bond with them
Took me a long time for me to conclude I'm panromantic and demisexual
Honestly, I have never been on this platform to spread hate or get into petty quarrels but I have been formally invited into one by a certain individual and it is time to get out receipts. I am not going to @ them but what I am going to do is tell you to avoid they're page and inform you of some of the things they are wrong about or are ignorant of. Let's begins with acephobia
Asexuality has actually had a long history and has existed for thousands of years. In ancient greek they had several virgin goddesses that could all be considered asexaul, more specifically Hestia and her roman counter part Vesta who both never fell in love and blatantly refused to have sex and had worshippers who joined in order to avoid sex and love. While the Vestal Virgins are a bad example since they were forced to join, that doesn't mean that asexuality doesn't exist.
Next up the general ignorance of things outside your personal bubble.
I honestly can't comprehend how you don't know about the hundreds of people who get murdered every year due to them being queer but congratulations(?). People die because it is illegal to be queer and that has nothing to do with the bible, religion doesn't start public executions, people do.
Now lastly the blatant panphobia and enbyphobia
Pansexuals have been here for a long time and while the label isn't as well known as bisexual they are very different. Also as long as the sexuality isn't being used to harm anyone in the community, or make fun of the community, why should it matter? Also nonbinary has also had a long history and even has it's own mythological background with the goddess Ishtar and biologically there has never been only on gender with the existance of intersex people which you promptly ignore. Now I could go on to tell you more about gender but I belive Hank Green does it best.
Now I hope everyone has a wonderful evening and that you stop your ignorance. You are valid.
I just realized that my drawings of Bill make him seem more of a child than a devious dream demon
So as of now I’m fixing that!
Because of this I’m redoing my little BillDip comic series to reflect what I originally had in mind
Ah yes, because this is totally respecting me
Let me make this perfectly clear, I am a taken woman, engaged to the love of my life, and you sir can go fuck yourself.
I get you're probably some bot, and I'm just speaking into the void, but I'm still pissed, so let's do this!
You literally just followed me, so for all I know you just now found out I exist. You don't know what I look like irl, because even if you were to comb through my entire tumblr, I know for a fact I've never posted a picture of my face. You don't if I'm a minor, you don't know my gender, my sexuality, nothing.
You assumed all of it, you assumed I wasn't in a relationship, or worse you did, and you thought I valued it so little, and you assumed I would be okay with this kind of shit.
Well, your assumption was far off into fucking orbit man. Good day.
Ya’know... I’ve always wondered why they decided to put Arquiusprite into Lil Cal... I could understand Caliborn (because obvious reasons) and Gamzee but why the second most uncomfortable sprite (Calsprite triumphs 1st place hands down) in the comic
But with the bit about AR making it even easier to get into Bro’s head, combined with the best ways to mess with his mind, it just makes everything more depressing for the Strider brothers
I honestly wonder what the real Bro was thinking though everything that happened. But I genuinely believe the things he did for Dave were the real him. The very few times when Bro actually helped like when he split the meteor to give Dave just a little more time entering the game. I want to believe Bro really did love Dave, and tried his best while struggling under Cal’s influence. I want to know how things would have been without Cal. But most of all...
I want Caliborn to go die in a hole and for Cal to be killed with fire for all eternity.
No one messes with my precious Striders
Those boys really need some love
And therapy
Actually everyone in Homestuck needs therapy
Okay.
Okay wait.
Caliborn’s weird homogay crush on Dirk. Is a thing.
And then he got to spend years, years with Dirk.
And part of Cal’s personality knew
EXACTLY
how to fuck with him.
I take back everything bad I’ve ever said about Bro. The fact that Bro didn’t outright molest/murder Dave is a FUCKING MIRACLE.
Magnets and rainbows all up ins.
The implications. I cannot deal with this. No wonder Bro wanted to train Dave so hard. No fucking wonder Bro was always drawing creepy-ass comics about “wanting to play a game.” No wonder when Davesprite prototyped him, all Calsprite did was laugh.
Caliborn was finally able to get Dirk to draw whatever he wanted for him. Whenever he wanted.
Truncated. Disjointed. Sentences. And fucking memes. Writing like there’s two people communicating the message.
I NEED TO FUCKING PUNCH SOMETHING.
I finally did it! I completed one singular page of the comic!
Dude, I actually started writing this damn thing like LAST YEAR JFC I’m a slow worker
Some Dirk doodles i did this week
Ive been playing my old Harvest Moon game (Magical Melody was my first)
And ive been thinking about how i felt about certian parts of this game and reflected on how i feel now
0: i only have the wii version which for some reason only has one gender, but when i played it for the first time it was my friend's gamecube version which allowed both, and i guess being forced to play as a guy is what got me started on having a file for both genders. I love seeing both sides
1: when i first played, i didnt know about the rivals and got jealous when i saw Gina with Alex. Now, as im going through each rival scene, i end up feeling for them, and am reluctant to marry anyone!
2: sheep are still the best!!! Always. Theres no debate here folks
3: ive been putting more thought into the names. In my file pictured above I've been giving japanese names (if you look closely my pig is named Heta, meaning unskillful, because the darn thing never seems to be able to find truffles) such as Yuri, (me, because i like it and if im correct it means lily), Inu (my dog, ironically named dog), Aki, Fuyu, Haru, and Natsu (my four sheep all named after the season i bought them), Nomu (my cow, whose name means to drink), and Hiku (my horse, whose name means to pull)
4: talking to everyone, and i mean everyone. I never really thought about most of the other characters that werent marrigable, so getting to know everyone has been really eye opening (fall of year 2 and no one has left indefinetly yet!!!)
5: Jamie. Jamie Jamie Jamie. The genderfluid character that hates the rain, loves jams (not the music, but wouldnt that be funny!), has no actual birth (apparently), and has a really cool hat! I adore Jamie as a rival, theyre so confident and as you get to know them (the damn pesky annoying little neighbor that you are) you get to see them at their most vulnerable
Why did I immediately just think, “so it’s just like real people!”
Hi, I'm Illy the Mad Artist! I love art, writing, and the characters and stories I make. I have anxiety, and I really would like to get as many opinions and critiques as possible, so please, PLEASE, ask me if you are going to post my work on other sites, and PLEASE credit if you do. The work I do is VERY important to me, and I want to share this with you guys. I don't really like reblogging things, so pretty much all of my posts are my stuff. I will accept critiques, however I will not accept hate (they are two completely different things). Please be kind, and if you wanna talk about or ask me anything, I'm pretty open most of the time. ^-^
