First artwork of the year is dedicated toΒ Sebastian Stan and his SUPER well-deserved win from yesterday. If you know me, you knew I had to do something in commemoration of my favorite actor finally getting some recognition. π©΅
I know Sebastian doesn't really get into social media anymore (and for good reason honestly), but I sincerely hope someone lets him know how proud us his fans are of him. π₯Ή
UPDATE JAN 09: Okay, I admittedly rushed this one and wasn't very happy with the eyes and some other minor things after I had posted them, so I made adjustments. I can't modify the file on other sites unfortunately, but I can here, so I did xD
And just because I liked it too, I'll share the sketch below the cut :>
NEW SHIP ALERT!!! AND IT'S ONE OF MY OWN CREATION (β ββ α΄β ββ βΏβ )
Revamping the designs of my OCs Peloo and Zann~~ Someday I hope to make a webtoon about them! β¨

Third ship for the 4 Ship Challenge I'm doing! They were actually the most requested pair, hehe. β‘
Since I last drew them as humans, and I've already tried imitating the show's style as closely as possible (see: Color Wheel Challenge), this time I wanted to try and do a personal interpretation of the Bluey artstyle! It was an interesting challenge, for sure. π
Muffin anyone? ~ πβ€οΈπ
πΈπ Rainbow Blitz
This Blitz was for my commission sheet examples, but I'm posting him solo because I think I have a little artblock again, but I don't want the algorithm to think I'm dead. π I wanted to give him his own post eventually anyway, I really like how he turned out :D
This design is by an artist friend of mine who I think most of the fandom knows, Orin331 (he asked me not to directly link his page π ). Only the outfit is my design.
If you like my art, please consider getting a commission! All prices and info are in my profile's pinned post. Hope you all have a wonderful day. π
This took me a PRETTY long time and also a lot of IRL delays, hence why I'm posting on such a weird day (Monday). But I'm SUPER happy with the end result and that I finally got to draw so many of my favs that I never had before (these were all chosen by me hehe).
β€οΈ Fairy Godmother (Shrek) π§‘ Radley Heeler (Bluey) π ChloΓ© Bourgeois/Queen Bee (Miraculous Ladybug) π Prince Naveen of Maldonia (The Princess and the Frog) π©΅ James P. "Sulley" Sullivan (Monsters. Inc), with a bonus Mike Wazowski, bc I could not pass on doing the gag xD π Barley Lightfoot (Onward) π Tecna (Winx Club) π©· Spinel (Steven Universe)
I also have individual slides of each one of these characters, but this post would be RIDICULOUSLY long if I posted them here. Maybe I will eventually, but in the meantime, you can check them out on my Insta or Twitter (or I guess the latter is "X" now. *SIGH* Just why? π)
π₯π§ Ember and Wade π§π₯
(I call them Wember, but if there's a more popular ship name for them, pls let me know xD)
HAPPY ELEMENTAL PREMIERE DAY! Though it sadly isn't coming to my country for another week ;_: But that's only making me build up more hype for this movie than I already had, so I REALLY wanted to include these two in my ongoing 4 ship challenge, even though no one requested them xD
I stepped way out of my comfort zone with this piece as you can see, and I'm honestly so happy with how it ended up looking! Hope you guys will enjoy <3
Well, I have preemptively salted on this movie for so long now, that I'm betting at least some of you are curious to know my opinion on Thunderbolts* by now. Specifically Bucky's role in it.
Disclaimer, I have not actually watched the movie and I have absolutely zero plans to go to the theaters and spend money on it, but I have read several plot summaries for it and seen many spoilers. So I do know about 90% of what happens in it, and my opinion is solely based on that. And let me tell you, it's a strong one.
Spoilers ahead, if anyone cares.
Bucky is not a "NeW aVenGeR".
Because he already was an actual Avenger.
Because he already was working with Captain America and already had done heroic acts working beside him.
He was referred to as an Avenger onscreen, by Walker no less.
This movie refuses to acknowledge any of that.
You can throw all the technicalities you want at me, you can hit me with all the "Uhm, but aCTUALLY..."s that you want.
The truth is this movie takes away so much of what Bucky had already worked so hard to achieve. Including a stable and reliable friendship with Sam Wilson, a clear name, a newfound purpose...
But most importantly, they took away one my man's most defining traits, and one of the biggest reasons why I fell in love with Bucky in the first place: his loyalty.
The man who showed up for Sam Wilson time and time again (especially when he needed emotional support after his protegΓ© was in critical condition), the man who reassured him, the man who was visibly, personally offended when his late friend's shield, title, and legacy was handed by the government to someone who hadn't earned it, the man who fought to give it back to the person Steve had actually trusted with it because he believed only he could carry that legacy with the respect that it deserved...
I refuse to believe that's the same man who tried to talk Sam into just "letting them" use the title of the Avengers, despite knowing damn well why Sam would be opposed to letting the likes of Valentina and the government in general just appropiate it so thoughtlessly. Or heck, even the same man who would just hear Alexei casually insult his best friend and just say nothing??? Like what have they done to him, that's not the Bucky I know!!!
I can and will only accept that ending if they confirm that Sam and Bucky are actually secretly working together to outsmart that woman, and have to keep up appearances in the meantime and pretend to be in a tiff. Otherwise, it does not make sense for either of them and just character-assassinates my fav.
From what I'm seeing and hearing, this movie probably should've just been Black Widow 2 and focus on Yelena and Alexei helping out Bob. Those three seem to be who the movie cares the most about anyway. It's certainly not Antonia. π (That's my second biggest gripe with this film by the way, I get that she wasn't the most popular character, but that was straight up NASTY of them)
So there may be many good things about this movie. But unfortunately, they decided to rope my favorite character into it in a way that ignores most of what was so great and inspiring about his character arc so far. And they also chose to shamelessly insult and undermine my second favorite character and paint him as a petty bully (which is very OOC for him I might add). And they also chose to do all of this with a cheeky little "LOL we're the New Avengerz now π€ͺ" attitude and publicity campaign.
And for that alone, they could never make me like this movie.
You know guys, I actually can't wait for Thunderbolts* to come out.
No, I don't mean that in the "OMG I'm so hyped and excited for this movie and I'm sure it's gonna be amazing and I'm going to have a great time watching my fav in it" sense.
I mean it in a "The journey ever since the announcement of this movie has been so stressful to me as a Bucky fangirl, the marketing campaign has been a complete rollercoaster, and for every choice that I actually kind of like they make 3 decisions that completely appal me; so I just want to know what happens in the damn thing already so I can get it over with, plan out a fix/rewrite for our AU with my friend, and move on" kind of sense.

Some new art at last! July was very stressful for me and I wasn't really able to do anything all month, but I finally got to finish these cuties after a few weeks of putting them off.
Originally an entry for a challenge, but I decided to simply focus on the art instead. I haven't really given myself the chance to do that lately, which in turn has caused me to struggle to find motivation to draw. I'm working on finding enjoyment and fun in the process of making art once again, because after all, that's what this page is for. β‘
P.S: Socks is best girl, no one can change my mind x)
If my art makes you smile, my job here is done. πSideblog: @oc-robrooks
