Portrait based on a photo reference. Not homestuck, but I’m kind of proud of it, so I’m posting it anyway. I signed it with my real initials because my dad wants to email it to his friend. This is rather hilarious considering how old I am. (Hint, much older than you, dear followers.)
Reblogging to help me find this again. I think that painting is all about color choice and picking the correct lighting, so this is a really useful reference!
Again, not mine. But omg this is so good aaaaaaaaaah
oh oh yes please this good

12. I call this one, “The Apology.” Besides forcing myself to do a proper background and focusing on colors that actually look good together, I purposely tried to capture a mood. A hope this picture evokes a mini story in your mind for Kanaya and Rose.
I Ought To Tell You Something

The Floor Is On Fire

And The Chairs
11. Someone on my dashboard mentioned Indiana Megido once. What dark god do I have to appease in order to get some fanfiction about her adventures? Anyway, I cast Kanaya in the role of Indiana’s dad because I can see her being Not Impressed after Indiana Megido does something especially dangerous to defeat the bad guys. Maybe they can be moirails?
Yay! Haha. This is great! You should repost these ficlets to your AO3 account. Maybe group them up, if they’re too much trouble to post individually.
When she abdicates her role in the brooding caverns, the Mother Grub knows that she does not have long to live.
10. Wow, upsetting! I submitted this picture to femstuck and forgot to draw in Kanaya’s horns and Maplehoof’s heart. Well, I sent the administrator an ask, so hopefully she doesn’t approve the embarrassing piece.
Anyway, this started out as a carousel sketch, but when I realized I would have to draw many other horses from different angles, I called it quits. This horse alone took me like four hours to sketch because it kept looking like a goat. And I had a reference photo right to the side of my sketch area too. Oh well, it came out okay. The colors I chose were poor though, especially with Maplehoof’s obnoxious pink harness.
I’m including a second smaller photo of the character’s faces to show you how much detail I actually put into the piece. I noticed that tumblr has some sort of limit on the widths and heights of my paintings and you never get to really zoom in on them. If I’m lucky you’ll get a closeup.
This is a great story. It brings meaning to Mom’s ironic housewife act, which is funny on it’s own, but now it’s kind of poignant? Reblogging, so that I can find and reread this again later!
Not at all! I love your requests.

Your daughter’s cat goes missing, turns up dead, and so you have it spliced open and stuffed.
There was some damage to the skull, around the left eye socket, but it’s nothing that a little extra padding can’t sort out. The eyes are sewn up neatly and so the broken bone goes unnoticed, and naturally, the only thing for it is to dress him in a suit more becoming on a victim of cot death. Rose missed Jaspers while he was elsewhere (though she never said so) and she loved him (though she never showed it). It breaks your heart to see her sat on the sofa, aimlessly rocking her feet back and forth, notepad in hand, but no patient to psychoanalyse. And so you do what any mother would, by means of building a mausoleum and holding a farce of a funeral. Rose is already old enough to know how ridiculous this all is, but she plays along nonetheless, doing so less to humour you than she probably realises.
9: A gift for Magpizza, because her version of Rose/Jade is the cutest!
8: More painting practice! Not Rose, but I am practicing with Rose’s skin tones in mind for Ladystuck. Of course, with all this practice I’m going to be assigned prompts with all trolls, and I haven’t gotten gray to look natural and not, well, dead.
I feel like I’ve hit a plateau in terms of faces. I probably should move onto clothes. I am super bad with creases and folds.
7: Practiced drawing children and inking clean, confident lines. How I did the tree bark was a big mistake. Took up way too much time and looks too busy now. Still, I wasn’t going to quit halfway through.
