You Know, I, Uh Used To Be Married Once. Well, Not Legally, But Yeah. I Guess I Don't Really Talk About

You know, I, uh used to be married once. Well, not legally, but yeah. I guess I don't really talk about it much anymore. Eric and I... We met in D.C., and there was just this instant connection, you know, and he asked me out that night. And I said no, and I kept saying no for the next six months. Why? I'm not sure. I guess I thought I was too busy or that I wasn't ready. Maybe I was just afraid. But eventually I said yes, and our time together, those years in Alexandria... it was the happiest moments of my life. You know, after he died, I thought, I'd give anything to take back just one of those nos so that we could have one more day together.

TJ MIKELOGAN'S HALLOWEEN 2023 EVENT Day 27, lgbt in horror ◆ AARON & ERIC

Hello! Do you have any tips on stylizing/drawing real people?? recently ive been trying to draw from my favorite shows but they either look too realistic or just not like the person at all. I love all your twd art and its really inspiring!

Omg thank you so much, it’s actually so funny you should ask this because this is exactly what I’ve been struggling with/researching for like 6 months. In fact I had an independent research project at uni that I told my prof was gonna be all about learning how to make background art for my final film project. But I got SO into learning how to stylize real people that I forgot to do the project at all and just submitted all of my walking dead fanart and stylization research and somehow got a B+ 

So strap in, you are about to get blasted with a hyperfixation that was so strong it almost lost me my bachelors degree but instead (somehow!!) got me one of the highest grades this prof gave out this semester

I’m still learning and trying to get better, this hyperfixation isn’t over it just has to be on pause because I WILL fail my final year of university if I let it take me lmao

First of all, here are my project slides (PLEASE ignore my cringe-ass writing, most of that shit was done in a panic at 5am)

this was a good leaping off point and now I know their features like the back of my hand, but they're missing a lot of character imo

"I thought highlighting his eyelashes and freckles would bring out-" blahblabla, truth is I just think he is very Eyes and his freckles are cute but I can't just be saying ''it's about the VIBES sir''

I highly recommend looking at an artist called @geitonas. They were actually my biggest inspiration in this project because personally I think they’ve mastered stylizing real people and their art is how I want my walking dead fanart to be. They know exactly which features to push and which to downplay, so if you’re familiar with the subjects you can recognize them immediately. 

But the biggest thing to note is that their features aren’t replicated exactly, they just have the right energy.

I guess my biggest advice is pick a focus feature. For Carol I think her most defining feature is her nose. It's an odd thing to say but she has very distinctive nostrils. So no matter how stylized I draw her I try to keep this feature in mind, even if everything else goes out the window

Keeping an eye on someone's unique mannerisms and facial expressions can go a long way too. Rick's squint, Michonne's stare, Daryl's scrunch...

This turned into a ramble. My thoughts were more coherent but too many of them wanted to come out all at once. Hope this was helpful anyway!

i'm too lazy to finish it but I love them so much ₊˚⊹♡

so i'll share these sketches

Can’t talk right now I’m thinking about the jaaron height difference

marry me.

craving some fanart of Aaron or Jesus (or Jaaron if you ship it) bc theres barely any media abt my fav gays to consume :((

I’m SO sorry I DID NOT know how to draw them

Omg but fr they’re literally husbands 🙄🙄

TYSM 4 tTHE ASK THOOOO EEEE🙏🩷🩷🩷
