Happy Halloween!!!
For me Halloween does not mean “scary” but “cute” in my mind. So I tried to be cute~and tried to make Aokuro cute.
For the first illustration, I don’t know if it is aokuro cosplaying as Karamatsu and Ichimatsu, OR it is Karamatsu and Ichimatsu cosplaying as aokuro. Whatever…they look cute don’t they? So I think it is okay
Again!!! I hope you guys all have a nice holiday (maybe party? XDDD) this year!!!
I will be focusing on my job and work for next couple weeks and probably do not have enough time to manage my tumblr. But I will try my best to be back as soon as I can.
LOVE YA~!
It’s Friday night at ΦΦΦ!
Here they are, all together, the girls of Tri Phi! This wraps up my fall illustration thesis. Stay tuned for whatever secrets I pull outta my sleeves next semester!! (throws confetti)
This is the entire observable universe squeezed into one image.
Musician Pablo Carlos Budassi was drawing hexaflexagons for his son’s birthday party favors, when he got the idea to make a logarithmic view of the universe, which he created by using Photoshop to combine logarithmic maps from Princeton with NASA photos.
Budassi’s illustration features our solar system at the very center,
followed by “inner and outer planets, Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, Alpha
Centauri, Perseus Arm, Milky Way galaxy, Andromeda galaxy, nearby
galaxies, Cosmic Web, Cosmic microwave radiation, and Big Bang’s
invisible plasma on the edge.“
I love this post so much
my hand slipped
with their new hit song, “Randomly Searching 4 U”
I am re-reblogging just because that was so good
I think this one’s an Always Reblog, because the picture, the illustration, and the song title are just too damn perfect together.

hi! ☼ i’m so sorry for the late reply but HERE I AM NOW
as for your question, hmmm, that’s tricky. i know i struggled a lot with finding a style; and i still do (frankly i can’t imagine that will ever stop). it’s only since very recently that people started pointing out that they like my style which made me realise i have some kind of style in the first place. it’s often harder to notice if you’re evaluating your own art, because you know what’s going on behind the scenes (e.g. all of the inconsistencies while sketching)!
i think ultimately the only way to overcome that is to stop caring. style isn’t something you can develop through forcing it, or at least in my experience if you do force yourself to adopt a specific style you’re restricting your own creativity and squeezing yourself into a box that’s not made to fit you.
style is also something that comes from repetition imo! if you draw something over and over again you’ll naturally use similar ways of stylising things even without doing it deliberately.
now here’s an excercise. draw a rhinoceros. right now, without looking up references, draw what you think a rhinoceros looks like. done? alright, then go check out references now. “oh dear,” you might think now, “my rhinoceros doesn’t actually look like a rhinoceros at all.” except that it does. because it’s how you remembered it.
and that’s exactly what style is.
it’s how you remember reality and then convert that memory into a drawing. most of the time your technical skill won’t be good enough to replicate even just your memory perfectly, but that’s where the magic happens. let your hand have some fun, too!
if you feel like you can’t decide (as opposed to genuinely not knowing) how you want to draw something make sure you’re not looking at other stuff while drawing, be it photos or other drawings. that way you’re making your brain come up with its own way to draw stuff, which will eventually manifest as your style if you keep doing it.
so yes TL;DR don’t think about it too much! style is a shy little thing that won’t come to sit beside you if you constantly try to hunt it down.
