“You see the situation you’re in. Drop your weapons.”
“Don’t waste your time, captain. We’ve run into this one before. This isn’t over yet.”
I’m getting closer and closer to starting the comic, and I had a hankering to do a big painting like I haven’t tried in a while. Still trying to figure out how I want to blend lineart and painting. I’m getting there.
The boys, on the other hand, are in a bit of a pickle.
Anonsaid: Hello! How did you find your art style? I’m having one of those crises right now so how did you find something unique to you?
Ah, is my style unique to me though? That’s something I can never really see, ngl! In any case the only thing I did was draw in a way that was comfortable for me, there isn’t much more to it - I think it’s a good way to keep your style evolving too, not thinking too much about it and only drawing in the way that makes you enjoy the process of it! This way when you’ll feel like changing things up you won’t worry too much about losing your signature style either… just do what feels good! Drawing is something you’re supposed to enjoy, is what I believe
Anonsaid: yo fran! do u have any jjk fic recs?
Not recent! I haven’t read jjk fics in months, sorry!
Anonsaid: How do you sell fanart on redbubble? I tried it but I was suspended.
Ah, I just don’t tag it tbh - it’s not good for spreading your stuff around rb without the help of social media tho, so I’ll admit this isn’t good advice at all it’s mostly just the easy way out
Anonsaid:Hey, just wanted to let you know I saw a TikTok account reposting your art. I’m not sure if I can do anything about it, like report it or anything, so I thought I’d let you know just in case. Their username is @kenmas..biggest_simp..0 I can’t stand when I see people repost art without permission or when people repost art and fail to give credits, so I apologize if this ask bothers you in any way or if you don’t want people contacting you about this sort of thing, I just think I’d regret it if I didn’t let you know. Sorry for rambling, hope you have a great day, your art is amazing and so are you!
Thank you so much for caring enough to come by and drop me a message about it! Sadly, I have zero understanding of how tiktok even works so the chances of me finding a way to have it taken down are………….slim…………………….. orz please people just don’t repost my stuff I’m begging you ;–;
Anonsaid: I miss Josh and Chris!
me, the only reason why josh and chris haven’t been around at all in centuries: god me too…….
fr tho I do miss them! I wanna draw them…….. I really do…………. but lately I’m barely drawing at all and the rare times I do draw I always end up with doodles of an oc I’ve never even posted about yet…….I wonder why……… still, inspiration is rare enough these days that I should just let it go where it wants, I think……….. m(;_;)m gomen

Actually since I’ve pulled away from fandom so much I’m legitimately able to enjoy JiY00 and Su@ye0n content so much more. Like I don’t immediately dread the amount of bullshit that the fandom is gonna spout to sexualise Or fetishize the girls. The peace I feel is amazing.
Seriously I have had a hard time looking at some of my favorite moments of the girls because of the fandom. And to celebrate my freedom from that fandom some new favorite moment from them,
What does a heart encrusted in rust see in a still and soundless world? Looking for someone who looks like they can say, “I’ll see you again”, I only end up repeating this over and over again.
Once you take notice, there’s the silhouette of someone’s back, crying all alone In a heartrending, lonesome place.
I want to remain with my hand entwined in yours
How many times have I felt the warmth here in this very place? Even if I’ve only mistaken being by your side, I don’t mind The sound of our tears and the colour of our sighs Now ascertain where we are now
The distraction of an everyday routine is something that I want, I want to see, even in the future
When I think how my voice, full of false bravado, has cracked I find myself surrendering to the dream world When I hold my knees close and cast my gaze downward Suddenly I feel like I’m going to crumble
At this rate, at this rate, The distant exit we dash toward together is still within reach. Now, let us smile and gaze into each other
Your guileless, innocent face bears a jumble and medley of feelings Even when you’ve lost your own way, you remain too kind
I call out your name again and again Even if the future is uncertain It pains me just to think of what I can’t let go I’m right here I’m right here You know there is always a place for you to return to, here
And that’ll never change With these feelings that remain.
- Wowaka, Nonaka Ai & Kitamura Eri
(Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
(Original/Official art can be found below, I don’t own the official artwork and this specific art piece was made just for fun.)
Just a stupid idea I decided to go through with after all.. I was drawing something else entirely but then I heard this song on my old anime playlist; my hand just slipped and I couldn’t stop myself from drawing this Madoka Magica parody (or tragedy perhaps in this case). I think I have just crossed that very subtle line of cringe when it comes to this art piece but I liked the final result quite a lot myself so I wanted to share it with you guys :’3
I just think that the lyrics of this song are so amazingly suitable with Lucas and Claus as well, and they all (Sayaka and Kyoko too) end up in pretty painful situations in the end of their character arcs.
Most of the times I get my inspiration from music and especially the mood that the music brings around me. In this case though, it was the lyrics and the setting of that ending picture that led me into this project, I consciously copied the scene from the original picture pretty straightforwardly because I wanted to get the same aesthetics in to my art, however, I still wanted to bring my own style with it as well so it’s recognizable that the picture is done with my art pattern but the composition is copied from somewhere else on purpose, if that makes any sense.
With this said, I don’t own any rights to the original art piece that can be found below or the song and its lyrics, I don’t get any kind of financial benefit from this, I just wanted to have some fun : ) . The original art is from the episode 9 of Puella Magi Madoka Magica series with Sayaka’s and Kyoko’s character song “And I’m home”.
I don’t like doing this, but since i slept through yesterday, today im kinda out of time and tomorrow my family is coming over, I better continue my drawing challenge on Monday… º´ ^ `)
