Mommy Long Legs Redesign

this started with an idea I had a few days ago that turned into a very clear image, it was supposed to be just a sketch but drawing the wings made me a lot of fun (I love drawing dragons so it makes sense)

Text about my thoughts on this image below the cut

What happens to me with these ideas is that I have scenes and occurrences is I never know how to get to them, but this is clinging to the concept that skykids can change the shape of their wings, so hearth has been hiding the true shape of his wings for a long time and the real condition they are in. Serene knows that he is going to die eventually and it is obvious that he will die because of the corruption that invades his body, but there are many details about this type of corruption that we don't know anything about yet, he is the only one alive that possesses it at least in my universe, I am still deciding what I want to do with it.

Anyway, the only sure thing in hearth is that his wings were strong in the past but now in his conditions each flap consumes a lot of light, technically he can fly and glide, but he probably won't get very far, that's why reah finally convinced him to stop traveling and that's the reason why serene took his place.

Ah, Ziv is in the image because they used to extract the flowers when they were very few, what do they want those things for? who knows (I don't know either).

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

"kill them with kindness" no kill them with the knowledge that they fucked up and will never know my kindness again

I'm not obsessed I'm not obsessed I'm not obsessed I'm not obse-

I lied.

So basically in this AU almost everyone survived the events of ppt, as the name implies

The toys escaped the facility and now hide in a safe place where playtime co never finds them🤭

Huggy, Kissy and Doey are like parental figures, so it's common to see them covered in smaller toys. Mini wuggies obviously prefer Huggy's company, so he's a happy and very tired dad

Sometimes i get that FOMO over my skykids not looking Cool and Stylish enough to fit in the sky community

But then I have to make myself STOP and remember that I actually really enjoy my mothy little designs when I’m playing, which is most important. Things I love about a moth design:

- I love the way the basic capes flow behind you when you run around. I love that the brown is such a pleasant brown especially with its beautiful cream lining. It lights up dark places so beautifully!

- I love moth outfits! I love that it makes sky kids look like candles themselves with the cylinder shapes. The hide and seek dress was the first item i really intentionally worked hard for, so it means so much to me

- I love moth hair, there are such cute basic styles. I love how all the hairs flow like flames atop a candle

- i love how the moth mask looks like a little face ( o-o )

- I love that in pure concept we’re all candles and kilns and pottery and something certainly not human or even fleshy

- I love appreciating the items I have and how much work I put into getting each piece

I dont know, i love sky and I love how cute everyone is no matter how many cosmetics they have

I think toy doctors are so nice actually like i remember being a little heartbroken kid when one of my beloved stuffed animals got old and torn up and my mom just threw him out. And i know what it would have meant to me, to have someone lovingly stitch him back up instead so i could love him just a little longer. And I’m really glad there are little kids out there who get to see pictures of their stuffed animals and dolls with little fake hospital beds and casts as they “rest & heal” before returning to them good as new. Like what a sweet thing to do with your life.

sketchbook thingssssss

I want Vulture to be happy, so i will believe that on the new circle Max doesn't die, and Vulture and him get adopted by Ralph💚🍀

They're found family, your honour🥺🙏

I love the way you draw bodies sm! They're always so fluid and unique!! Do you have any tips?? (other than the super obvious look at a reference lol)

hi thank u!! rather than just looking at refs, i explained how i actually use them here in a big old post, and how i keep those poses fluid!

another tip tho, and a more recent thing i’ve been doing, is that i use a ref just to decide a general idea for a pose and then pick my favorite lines either within the reference already or i make up my own

^^ for above, i very loosely used the reference at all. it just gave me an idea to start with for a pose and then i picked dramatic curves i really wanted to do and pushed the pose to show those lines.

a lot of my fluidity comes from caring more about those lines showing in the pose than the pose or anatomy actually making sense LOL

this is a more direct reference !! i liked the angle and the point of the knees, so i started there and then exaggerated what i wanted to draw more swoopy :3

additionally helps line confidence to use as few lines as possible.

it makes a lot of organic swishes and pretty lines if u try to keep each section of a limb or whatever to just a few strokes. 2-3 if ur really wanting to push it!

that tweet thats like im not allowed to believe in the power of manifestation because i have OCD but best of luck to you all
