They're about to be very late to some Wayne Foundation Gala

alt version under the cut, and a surprise in the reblogs ;)

#starfire#koriand'r#kory anders#dc comics#teen titans#art#digital#fanart#comics#dc#regular#final#colour#OK THIRD TIME IS THE CHARM#i already posted this over a week ago but then i looked at it on my phone and realised it looked AWFUL on that screen#So. Long. spent on the colours in my pc. only for them to look atrocious on the phone. where most people will see it. :)))))#i tweaked them a lot on the ipad (and pc. simultaneously. it was a pain.) and now they look mid on both which is the best i can do. ugh.#also i actually think the alt version looks better but the first one fits kory more yk. the second one could easily be kom#design-wise i'm way happier with her face now but i'll probably tweak the nose a bit next time#the hairstyle is not how i see it looking day-to-day but i like the roots showing. def much better than the last kory i posted#and i like that she looks taller this time around but i think in trying to achieve that i made her too skinny. ugh.#you win some you lose some#anyway! i'm reblogging this to my sideblog and adding a 16+ version so watch out for that!

Making her Hellfire debut... I give you... The Ice Princess!

Really enjoyed how this one turned out, so it gets its own post 😊

#marvel#x-men#x men#xmen#emma frost#art#digital#fanart#comics#regular#sketch#colour#please don't mind the background i whipped it up real quick with a mousepad#tbh the biggest reason this was my favourite one isn't even that i think it looks the best#but that i think it tells the best story. if that makes sense.#like i can see young emma preparing for her hellfire club debut by going into a victoria's secret store#and just grabbing a bunch of stuff with the same theme to mix and match#and despite being from the same collection the pieces don't /quite/ fit together#she looks a bit like a young girl wearing her mother's clothes trying to look more grown up. and it's not that far from the truth.#she's probably about 20. dancing to a bunch of creeps and trying to appear like a femme fatale while having no idea what she's doing#i don't know i really like it#but anyway. this concludes the emma saga!#...for now (she's very drawable what can i say)

As I mentioned, I read a bunch of Emma backstory comics, starting with Emma Frost (2003), and it got me on a character design kick. Before starting to draw Emma's journey, though, I actually went and sketched her whole family!

Behold: The Yassification of Emma Frost!

So, early last year I went into a haze and read all the Emma backstory comics I could find -- and it was a bit disappointing to find out there's not much focus in depicting her visual journey from ugly duckling teenager to bombshell blonde. Emma's appearance is so important for both her character and her in-universe history, in a way that it is pretty rare in cape comics, and I was looking forward to see it develop in a consistent way... So I did it myself :)

Better look + rambles under the cut

#emma frost#x-men#x men#xmen#marvel#art#digital#fanart#comics#regular#sketch#colour#character design#kind of? not even a redesign per se but man. did i put thought into this.#it started as ''oh i'm gonna do some doodles while i read'' and ended almost a year later with me having a headcanon for her SKIN TYPE#(mixed. it's under the read more - on item 17)#i have two more emma posts queued up so watch out for that >:3#(and then a kory! i know i promised a new kory ages ago but the bg was giving me trouble so i switched back to the emma stuff)

Happy new year! I've finally made a proper banner for my socials ☺️

#the art i've been using as one a. is several years old now and b. looks wildly inappropriate at first glance. so y'know. it was time.#i also used this to do a much needed brush up on colour theory so it should hopefully look better than my usual stuff c:#colouring was always a weak point for me and when we finally had a class focused on it in uni the pandemic hit 💀#art#digital#irls#me#animals#nikita#mel#(in the laptop screen - because i couldn't just NOT have her in this. it's actually from an old wip from back when she was still here)#scenery#kind of? i mean it's just a wall. but i think the amount of time i spent on those frames you can barely even see justifies the tag.#regular#final#colour

The King 🤴🏿

#artists on tumblr#pelé#brazil nt#brasil#brart#i had an art block and was just doing whatever with some stuff i already had in my reference folder and this came out#i've always hated painting realistic faces but it turns out it's SO much easier with dark skin!!!! why did uni make me use my own face!!!#i did this whole thing in one sitting and it might not be spitting image but i'd say it does look like him#art#digital#fanart#celeb#real#sketch#colour#i mean kinda?? the tag is more about the shading process than hues so

I've had this pose ref saved for a while and the Superman set photos just gave off the same energy 👉🏻👈🏻

#superfamilyweek#superman#dcu#clois#lois lane#clark kent#i was actually gonna post this a few days ago but then i found out about the superfamily week#it wasn't made for it but i hope you can accept this humble offering even if it doesn't really fit the prompts#art#digital#fanart#live-action#dc#regular#final#colour#this actually from june when the set photos came out and i just got completely obsessed and went into a clois haze#it all looks so good though!! the whole thing!!!! i'm vibrating with excitement just thinking about it!!!!!!!#if this film isn't good i'm gonna be sooo disappointed you guys have no idea how much i'm looking forward to it#but anyway. ART RAMBLES: as i mentioned on the tags of my last drawing this piece gave me SUCH a headache#i think it's probably cos it was just supposed to be a quick sketch so i used a more stable pencil brush#but then i really liked it so i decided to properly colour it instead of just doing the watercolour thing i usually do for sketches#but with finished pieces i like the lineart to be kinda messy and the sketch to even show through bit#and since i used the more stable brush for the sketch it ended up looking WAY too clean. not like my stuff at all.#so i just started throwing stuff at the wall to see what could make it more interesting. full background! actual lineart! texture layers!#and this here is what i was the happiest with. i don't... love it though. it should be looking way more interesting given the pose#and then i also did the purge girl halfway through this and it looked SO good right out of the bat (pun intended)#so i went a bit into a spiral. did some realistic stuff i'll post soon. and now am trying out a thick black lineart style.#(i'll definitely still use the coloured lines for the sketchy watercolour stuff though. it just looks way too cute)

i probably should've posted this on halloween huh

#artists on tumblr#halloween#spooky season#horror art#can't hurt to try#she's the purge-inspired but i've actually never watched the purge so i have no idea if it makes sense. sorry.#i'm.. not really into horror stuff. too much of a scaredy cat. love the aesthetics tho#oh she's also punchline-inspired! (the dc character)#blood tw#art#digital#random#regular#sketch#colour#i did this soo fast and liked it so much it was a bit of a shock#and also a relief bc i was halfway-through another illustration that was taking me way too long and just not. looking. right.#i'm still not fully happy with it but that's tag rambles for the next post#but anyway. i loved this (both the process and the end result) enough that i think i'm going back to black(.mp3) lineart 🥴

February vibes in July

#caption for my northern hemisphere gang!!#artists on tumblr#brazil#brasil#art#digital#random#regular#final#colour#i actually did start this on a february - it's carnaval-inspired#specifically são paulo street carnaval#(which i actually HATED when i lived there bc it closed off my street and subjected me to loud music the whole day for like 3 weeks#the original sketch is from 2020 though so i was at that point in quarantine where i missed everything lmao)#was using it and the one from last post for some experimentation some weeks (months?) ago#the brush works a lot better with this girl over the princess but i think i found a better one overall anyway#(no one cares about this but i like to ramble on anyways~)

Revisited a 4-year-old old sketch of my girl (still unnamed 🥲)

#i mostly used this for some experimentation but she looks so pretty!!#i am but a proud mother posting screenshots of my teenage daughter's selfies#artists on tumblr#art#digital#oc#blue blood#oc: princess#final#colour#so what i got from this is that i need to stop trying to make this brush happen#it doesn't look laid-back and casual (at least not when i do it) it looks badly done#but i also found a cool new way of doing ambient lighting so yay!!

Hey remember when Kory was a Justice League member with a bangin' costume

#starfire#koriand'r#kory anders#dc comics#justice league#art#digital#fanart#comics#regular#sketch#final#lines#colour#i THINK i'm finally happy with how i do her skin!!!! everyone cheer!!!!#and i'm very happy with some aspects of her body (i used a photo of paolla oliveira as a base) but she might be looking too short#hard to say with her just floating on the void. might just be that i know paolla's real height#her face i'm still experimenting with. and the hair i was happy with at first but now i'm thinking it looks like a wig at the very top#(speaking of the hair: i know it doesn't make sense to be glowing like that with her just standing there but shhhh)#also btw this drawing is actually from 2 years ago ajskdnf i never posted it before bc i wasn't happy with the skin#but then recently i tried it again but with a slightly different brush and it looks sooooo much better so i'm posting now yay#i already have a newer kory on the way though 😈 among other things#oh and i'm trying out new watermarks. if you were wondering.#& btw if you were following me on cara (no one is. i haven't shared the link anywhere.) you could've already seen this almost a week ago 😏
