Week 1: Innocence

I’ve been getting some questions about commissions lately, and I have been made aware that they’re just bots, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about commissions.

No, I do not take commissions… however!

I will gladly take requests! No payment required. Feel free to leave them in my ask box. Just tell me what character (I will draw OCs!), and if you want, you can include a reference photo or a description.

Keep in mind: I will not just NSFW or anything else I deem inappropriate. I may turn down a request if I do not know who the character is. For example, I will not draw Avengers characters because I don’t watch the Avengers movies.

Example of a pencil sketch

Example of a digital sketch

Example of a lined piece (also an example of a Thing™️ which is just what my friend and I call a comic strip)

Example of a piece with flat colors

Example of a simple shaded piece

Example of a fully shaded piece

Example of a piece with dramatic lighting

You can request any of these styles, but the more detailed they are the longer they take. For example, and pencil sketch takes the shortest amount of time and a piece with dramatic lighting takes the longest. The drawing will be either simply shaded or fully shaded unless requested otherwise.

My ask box is always open! Have a great day!

It’s June 15th. You know what that means.

Happy birthday to our favorite old men AND happy 12th anniversary Gravity Falls‼️🎉

It’s hard to believe GF came out that long ago. Of course it’s different for me because I just watched it 1 or 2 years ago and not when it aired on TV. I’m a little disappointed in myself by that fact

Soo the OG Pines twins are now even older than they were before. If Stan and Ford were 60 or so in the show, then they’d be about 72 now. I decided to draw them younger because look how cute they were ☺️

I don’t mean to brag but I really love the way Ford’s glasses look

You may notice the hearing aid in Stanley’s ear, there’s actually a reason for that! Stan canonically wears hearing aids in the series. It was probably just a joke to make fun of how old he is because they’re only mentioned once and never again. BUT I decided to roll with it!

My older cousin and his twin (RIP Charlie, he died a couple days after he was born) were born prematurely, which isn’t uncommon for twins. So it can be assumed that Stan and Ford were also born early. Since my cousin was born so soon, his hearing didn’t develop properly and he’s been deaf his entire life.

So, I headcanon that Stan was born deaf or hard of hearing. That’s why I draw him with a hearing aid! I don’t know if it’s accurate to his time period, but I still think it looks pretty good.

I think we can all agree that cartoon senior citizens are a gift to this world Uncle Iroh

How I feel being a Day 1 Jayce defender watching the Arcane fandom suddenly love him after Season 2:

Fish of the Day

Today's fish of the day is the lake sturgeon!

The lake sturgeon, also called the rock sturgeon, and known by scientific name Acipenser fulvescens is one of the best known North American sturgeon species! Found in and around the great lakes, and then across the Mississippi river and Erie canal. Found in 5 differing Canadian provinces and across 24 states stretching from Alabama to Michigan, and as far East as New York. These fish are benthic, spending their time along the bottom of the lake bed, but during spawning these fish will migrate thousands of miles to go back to the stream they were born in.

Like all sturgeon, they are considered living fossils, as sturgeon first appeared in the fossil record upwards of 150 million years ago, with the fish now appearing nearly identical to these ancestors. These fish can get 7 feet or longer, with most being only 4 to 6 feet in length, making them some of the largest sturgeon in North America. Their diet is made up of various invertebrates such as: larvae, small crustaceans, and worms, which they can find along the benthic lake and river beds. The 4 barbels found on these fish have taste buds, which are used to determine what is under their mouth, before they use their prehensile lips to suck up food. When food becomes scarce, these fish are known for migrating for better feeding, which happens semi frequently around the year.

The life cycle of the lake sturgeon is similar to that of most other sturgeons. They begin life as eggs laid in the location their parents were born, in fast paced river streams with lots of flat rocks. The eggs themselves are a bright yellow color, although as the eggs matures this will turn an olive and eventually brown over the course of about 2 weeks. Then they live as larvae only 10mm long, living in and around the dark underside of rocks. After this, as juveniles they will swim to lake environments, where they will spend the majority of their life cycle. These fish can live 55 years long in males and around 150 years for females, with sexual maturity being achieved at an age of around 10 years in males and 30 years in females. Breeding and spawning only happens intermittently every handful of years, and go through around 10 spawning seasons throughout their lifecycle.

For a fun fact to end on for these fish because I'm particularly fond of them, when they reach the stream they will spawn in, these fish are known to porpoise, jumping several feet into the air to end their long journey. That's the lake sturgeon everybody! Have a wonderful day!

Hey look who it is

More fullbodies of Sonic characters! Whats fun about Sonic characters is that none of them look the same so it’s obvious which character is which lmao

Bonus:

Mawia I frew up

Theatre shenanigans

You know those chocolate covered coffee beans? I feel like those would be Shadow’s favorite desert type thing.

Except he only eats the like 80% dark chocolate cacao ones. Otherwise they’re too sweet for his taste.
