rabbitpiedreamsIt's been a little while since I've written anything here... I keep having dreams of keeping a fandom journal, and then, doing nothing with that Idea? Anyway,..
Today I worked on two projects: the first is a fanbind of By Any Other Name. That involved working on creating two elements for the file page. These are little images that decorate the page. The first one I created was a flaming feather.
So this feather... I was very inspired by this image:
and I used this bonfire image to find inspiration for the shape of my flames.
The feather was never actually intendedn to be a feather -- it's supposed to be a leaf. Anyway, I'm not 100% satisfied with it, but perhas what's done is good!
It's... been a long time since I drew, but having joined the Dabi Bang, I really feel the need to show people what I can do! It's a lot of pressure to put on myself, tbh. I need to chill a bit more. With bookbinding, it's cool, we can do poorly and still have a lot of fun. But with art, I have expectations!! And with a bang, I wanna draw lovely things for the writer!!
Anyway, enough fretting. The progress! This art (much like canon MHA!) is all about the hands. I ended up using some guides for the fingers -- one character has outstreatched, flat fingers that are experiencing a fair bit of foreshortening. so creating little 4-sided shapes to represent those really helped. I'll add a discord link, not sure it'll work...
honestly it's a bit of a reminder to chill out about my digital drawing. The progress of going from "sketch that suggests the presence of fingers" to "we have individual fingers now!" went pretty smoothly.
Today, I got up to date with Finding Light by owlonapanda on ao3! (ch 4).
Tomorrow, I need to do a couple of things I'm avoiding. cleaning up, phone calls... confessing my sins... but I think I'd like to work on my sketch and maybe some programming?

The Flaming Feather

That Sketch
