finished image, looks like a watercolour of lilypads

This is mostly for my own future reference because I have already half forgotten how I did it, and I assume a moderate knowledge of shaders and the compositor. That said you could do a lot of this in a regular image editor, the main technique is just using paint textures from textures.com as masks for blurring and colour variation.

Image descriptions are sparse but I've tried to cover all the important concepts in the text.

This is mostly prompt art, thanks to everyone who gave a prompt! Making this post made me realise I forgot to link some earlier works, one of which got TRANSLATED :D

Everything is fanart unless stated otherwise, and has an image description.

My Vow To My Liege, Interviews with Monster Girls, Original Work, What We Do In The Shadows (TV), Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, Guardian (TV), Horizon: Zero Dawn and Doraemon: Story of Seasons crossover

There was less than I remembered, so I won't bother with a cut.

Original: The Most Beautiful Thing I've Ever Seen, for the prompt Astronomer/Alien for the Black is Beautiful exchange.

Derry Girls: Derry Girls drawn in the ink wash comic style of the St Trinian’s books by Ronald Searle

Dragon Age 2: Oh No You Caught Me ;), Fenris/Isabela for the Black is Beautiful exchange

Heaven Official's Blessing: Three Tumours modern highschool AU. It's not a US highschool though. Not that you can tell, but I know, and that's what matters.

Those first two were way more popular than I was expecting for an original work and little fandom, but I put a lot of work into them so it was nice. I've also been making slow progress on my WIPs. One day they will be finished. ONE DAY.

I need help testing a design.

DeviantArt have changed their setup and I can't find the preview images, if they're even still a thing. I'm too lazy to make my own, so it's just text links today!

So, this is mostly for my own future benefit because I keep forgetting my own methods. But I'll try to explain things enough that it might be useful to other people too. You should be moderately competent with whatever art program you're using, and have some idea about colours and shading.

My basic philosophy is: realism is boring, and mistakes add texture.

A rendered image of a red ball lit by a strong yellow-white light and a weak green light, against a background of trees.

The dating sim and Dragon Age fanart is in the previous post.

Four Elements: Coloured

I am very proud of this but nobody will care: the uncoloured linework is a challenging colouring in puzzle that demonstrates the four colour theorem.
( Original art, Venom, Avatar The Last Airbender, Russian Doll, Doctor Who, Princess Tutu, The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation )

I'm very happy with my original works so they're above the cut!

Feathered Dinosaurs

Fire Pigs

I also drew a rather gory original picture I won't post a preview for.

( Yuri on Ice, Dragon Age, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, Hatoful Boyfriend, Rogue One, MCU and DC, Mass Effect/Homestuck )

Sewing!??:
Finally cleared off some space for my sewing machine and started on some of the projects that have been sadly staring at me from boxes for 2 years. Specifically, a waistcoat and a science dress. Neither turned out perfectly but I achieved my goals.

Meme:

I've been doing a lot of experimenting with Artrage. I've gotten enough of the hang of it for game background paintovers but I think I need to get more practice with the fundamentals of painting before I can use it for portraits etc.

I've also started work on a new game, a picross/nonogram puzzle visual novel called Nona&Gram.

Self Portrait: Artrage

Wow I haven't done a general creative roundup since last year. Mostly because I haven't been feeling like making general creative stuff. What I have been doing is...A NEW VERSION OF [REDACTED] OMG.

And now the THREE non Dragon Age arts I have drawn in the last six months, two for exchanges.

I was boggling that I hadn't done one of these since June then looked at my post titles for the last few months and remembered how sick I was for a while there. But I managed to draw some stuff anyway through the fog :) Also I got a copy of Manga Studio 5, which does some lovely lines and painting...that make my computer cry :(

All art has transcripts/descriptions at the link.

Prettiest:

Snow White and Red Riding Hood

Most interesting:
News From The Sea: A little fantasy comic adapted from this short story I wrote. Created for a Comic Books and Graphic Novels course. Transcripts in chapter 2.

As far as I can tell I got...120% for this comic? And that's getting less than half of the available extra credit. lol coursera. But it was fun!

( Person of Interest, Avatar: The Legend of Korra/The Last Airbender, Guild Wars 2, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 2, Red Dwarf, Bastion, Dr Who, Original, Game of Thrones, The Hobbit, Fresh Pretty Cure )

That was a trip. Never run an exchange before, it was exciting and scary but really rewarding. Not sure how people with more than seven participants manage it :)

Anyway, go check out the great art at

fanartremixexchange or

fanartremix. Here's mine:

The Avengers: The First Thing You See

The Sandman: Endless Delerium

And my two fantastic remixes: Fetch! (warning: blood) and Here Fishy Fishy!

Remixing and being remixed were both really great. Seeing my art come to life in someone else's head was SO COOL.

Both comms are open to submissions if any of you are inspired to create your own remixes *hint hint*

Wrote some semi original fiction omg! One for the Jukebox "write a story about a song" exchange, another for a writing meme I made up myself. Also did some art for that limited palette meme that's been going around tumblr, which was super fun.

Spare Change (1393 words), The Man Who Sold the World, Teen And Up, Horror, Fantasy, Original Fiction, Fanfiction, Inspired by Music, Genderqueer Character
Summary:Two friends meet by chance long after both have died.

The Most Talked About Night Of The Season (5355 words) G, No Warnings, Fantasy, Regency, Happy Ending, Fae & Fairies, Non-Graphic Violence
Summary: Maisie was in no mood for a ball. She always felt like a fool in formal wear. The ball was full of Pixies and Slyphs looking lovely in ensembles much like hers, but delicate ringlets and a ruffled dress were far less flattering on a seven foot tall Lob covered in hair.

A colouring tutorial

Literally every comment on Spare Change has used the word "creepy" :D On one hand I'm quite happy with the story, on the other hand want to stop thinking about it so I can GET THAT SONG OUT OF MY HEAD.

And now....art!
( Edward Scissorhands, Iron Man,Bastion, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fresh Pretty Cure )

I've been experimenting with making my own water colour textures and want to test out the ones I've made before making any more. So! Please have a look at my current experiments and give me art prompts you think would suit that colour scheme, or that the colours make you think of. Original or fannish, and don't worry too much about having to match the texture I'll be digitally messing with them.

The textures:

1: blue gradient on printer paper.
2: Blue-green gradient on water colour paper.
3: Same gradient with darker blue added.
4: Wet-on-wet yellow-orange swirls. I used cling wrap and paper towels to mess around with the texture.

I started with $1 Dora the Explorer water colours on printer paper. ODDLY ENOUGH THIS DID NOT TURN OUT WELL. Then I read some tutorials and visited the art store. All up the paints, paper and brushes cost me $40 and that was getting the cheapest stuff. This is why I like digital art.
