Reference sheet for my little fox mage, Clover 🍀

She's still young but she loves to play with magic, much to the weariness of her guardians...

the character

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.

Spell It Out! ✨

quick style practice grew into a treat for me by me YIPPEEE- gotta flex my toon muscles more before july

Liking character is fun until you think about them and you just have to stare at nothing for a few minutes because of how tragic

And mauybe you are almost crying but you are having fun

Run Rabbit RUN!

still shocked i knocked this out in just a month- APPARENTLY its been over 4 years since i last did a complex nature scene, pretty content with the results though! :D

lil commentary and crops under the cut~

holding a bazooka labeled headcanons and pointing it at these guys

its important to note that their current situation is NOT legends fault, buddy is an unwilling participant, help him,,,

read one too many minish four fics and Locked On- i just think hes neat! :)

also liked the idea of four only having the earring bead while shrunk,,, i have Thoughts and Opinions on how this could relate to him being just shrunken during his adventure, but being functionally a minish while small now (gotta love a willingness to mess around with magic you THINK you understand)

EARS!! hyrules look like the edge of a leaf, think it works good enough for the part fae ideas im plagued by (he also gets lil claws, as a treat)

pointing out the DEATH GRIP hyrule has on legends hair: ow

that nick on legends nose? im working on it i swear trust me trust me (<<< college debuff) it has to do with that ravio au that i swear im working on

the filter selection on my drawing app is a bit wonky and i gotta say: hyrules hair kept turning Bright Orange, i dont even want to know

100% forgot that trying to juggle this many shades of green is its own kind of circus- but the bright green glow?? SO much fun, definitely not used to drawing multiple light sources but RAHHHHHH getting to do harsh lighting again was a treat

this sucker is 18MB?? HELP

still got a ton of sketches lined up to do- hoping to bully myself into posting wips more often though! since theres no telling when (or if) ill finish anything at any given time- immune to the sunk cost fallacy JUST for my drawings apparently

it has been years and this still remains the most meaningful advice i have ever read. every time i'm editing my own writing and getting really fed up with it, i stop bashing my face in and just think about this. "You hate the most valuable thing about your art." my writing is supposed to read like i wrote it! because i did! i should be happy to have my own voice and style! ugh thank you forever to this tweet fr

Me when a song has honestly nothing to do at all with a character but I played it a lot while thinking about them

started half a dozen new art projects over break, finished zero (none) (absolutely nothing) (not a single one), WHAT KIND OF CIRCUS IS THIS

so embarrassing to get obsessed with your own oc but it doesn't fuel you creatively or motivate you at all you just sort of sit there. like yeah I've been thinking a lot about blorbo from my mind. no images of them exist in the world and they have maybe 3 personality traits so far. I would rather die than attempt to write about them. I've spent the last 48 hours rotating them in my brain though

i think people get so used to their own creative work that they forget how amazing it is so i’m making this post as a reminder You are the only person capable of making art the exact way you make it. nobody else on earth can do that. there are always going to be those little habits and intricacies and details that simply cannot be replicated whether it’s in writing or painting or textiles and you make life all the better for it i love my friends’ art i love art from strangers im trying to love my own art I LOVE YOU!!! THE PERSON READING THIS!!!!!!! YOU ARE A PART OF THIS WORLD NEVER EVER STOP MAKING THINGS THAT CAN IMPACT IT

a selection of artist memes hand-picked and curated by me based on my own experiences

past the point of no return, OBLITERATE THAT THING

normally i just work on whatever i whimsy, but for once in my life i actually want to see all these through = decision paralysis!! woo!!

hesitant to post wips since theyre all in dire need of cleanup, but if theres any yall want to see finished sooner rather than never, please let me know ! :3 complexity/time sink varies but i will not lie, some of these have the potential to be just as insane as game night or fireball

Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.

the situation is still out of control

I hate I when I get an idea for a novel. Like oh no here starts the slow sad slip n’ slide to dissapointment again.

Using my own art as a reference and squinting at it like "how the hell did I do that"

shoutout to my homies who are deeply bizarre and have something wrong with them

do you ever think about your interests for like half a second and suddenly feel like you’ve been shot in the chest

me, vibrating out of my skin : hey can I talk to you about this piece of media real quick? I pinky promise I'll be So Normal about it, like there's no reason to be concerned that this will turn into a three hour long monologue. Like I Prommy that I'm not gonna be a freak about it.

do you ever become obsessed with a character and you just go "of fucking course its that one" at yourself because you are so incredibly predictable

i hate how you get desensitized to the cool stuff in your WIP if you've been writing it for a long time so when you read back over it you're like "this isn't as cool as i thought :(" but it still is! you just read it too many times

simply evaporated. obliterated. absolutely annihilated. just rapidly and completely disassembled into less than the base components. this is the third time this month
