Stickbug-made-entirely-of-spite - (Req's Full!! Brb ^-^) A Mildly Artistic Stickbug - Tumblr Blog

People who leave nice comments in the tags/under the post when they reblog my stuff are a threat to my heart rate

Heyo, friends! Have this thing I painted yesterday, as a result of wondering what would happen if I mixed charcoal with liquid oil medium :]

Mild cw for blood/graphic imagery, but it's really just some abstract-ish red splatter lmao

The charcoal I used was really roughly ground (I put my charcoal scraps in a little box together with a rock and shake it up every once in a while), so it gave me some really nice texture when I mixed it with the oil medium! The eyebrows and the darkness around the eyes are good examples, as I haven't used anything else there :]

This is honestly just a mindless, self-indulgent scribble (I painted it with a butter knife lmfao-) , but I figured it would be fun to share in case someone might find my little experiment interesting ^-^

I'm thinking about finishing it, but I'm not quite sure how I would do that lmao. I might add in some painted flowers, poppies could look very nice, I imagine!

Spur-of-the-moment experiments aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Aaaaaah thank you friend!! For some reason I've been *reeeally* drawn to bnha while looking for things to doodle recently bahahaha

I really appreciate it ^-^🧡

Hello, peeps!

Following the theme of my previous post, here's another BNHA character the way I picture them in my mind! ^-^

And a close-up of course, I did not put all that detail in there for tumblr to crunchify the image and make my efforts fruitless lmfao

I spent a decent amount of time on his scar, and I think it paid off! In my opinion, it looks quite beautiful :]

I almost posted this with the image flipped, but I caught myself just in time bahahaha

I flip my doodles back and forth several times throughout the drawing process, which I've now discovered can be a dangerous game if I'm doodling a character with distinct differences between their left and right sides TTvTT

Artistic close calls and heterochromatic cinnamon rolls aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

(there's a second version under the cut, major spoiler warning for anyone who doesn't know what happens in chapter 362 in the manga!!)

If you've decided to skip the rest of the post, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

I know he doesn't actually lose his eye in the manga, but I figured that it wouldn't be too far-fetched of an outcome lol

That is all! Have a good day, friends 🧡

Here he is!! The finished boy!! :D

May I present, twenty-something-year-old Pirate Captain Jim Hawkins:

Along with some close-ups and fun facts, of course, the latter of which will be under the cut ^-^

The cross necklace is actually a small reference to a real pirate, who lived during the golden age of piracy! Bartholomew Roberts was known to wear a diamond-encrusted gold cross around his neck ^-^

The moon pendant is, - surprise surprise - a reference to Montressor Spaceport :] (and the diamond of course represents Montressor itself)

I've also given him a blue long coat, party because blue actually was one of the colours that commonly appeared in pirate attire, but also as a little homage to Captain Amelia, since that felt like a very in-character thing for Jim to do. The red details in his get-up aren't there for no reason, either, as he wears them in memory of Mr. Arrow

This doodle was so incredibly fun to make, and there weren't really any major hiccups anywhere along the way!

I'm most happy with his face and the red sash around his waist. I'm extremely satisfied with how the lighting ended up making it look like a very luxurious fabric, just like I wanted it to :]

What is that weird cluster of glowing orbs, you ask? I have no idea lmfao

Mysterious light sources and pretty pirates aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

He can have a little facial hair, as a treat

We've got a concept, peeps!

He's no longer just a head and some shoulders lmfao, look at him go :D

I always knew pirate clothes would be fun to draw ^-^

And don't worry, I've done some research!! Any 'rules' that I've broken in this doodle, I've broken on purpose for the sake of a more interesting picture

A pirate captain wouldn't have worn a fancy long coat while out at sea, but rather something similar to what regular sailors would have worn at the time, just like the rest of the crew. If a pirate captain did have such a coat, it wouldn't really have been worn unless they were up on land. (or, down on land, in this case?)

But this is just a silly little fantasy doodle, so I've decided to let him have his fancy coat, along with a slightly more luxurious red fabric for some details (some of which I have yet to add) in his get-up :]

If anything about the pose looks off, please do tell me! I draw most of my doodles without reference (other than what I have in my head, I suppose), so constructive criticism is very welcome! ^-^

Historically inaccurate pirate captains aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

I'm working on ✨the boy✨ right now, and I can't choose which hairstyle I want to move forward with TTvTT

The first one is obviously just what he wears in the movie (with the exception of the very end, RIP baby rat tail 😔🙏)

The second one is how I imagine he would wear his hair in a future where he continues to go on adventures, rather than enrolling in the interstellar academy

This drawing will be of an older Jim (maybe early to mid-twenties?), so I do lean towards the second option, but I also feel like he's a lot more recognisable in the first one!

I might just end up making two versions, I already have both of them on separate layers from the rest of the sketch after all, lmao

Hello, friends!

Here's daily expression number five ^-^

This is obviously just a very rough WIP, and it wasn't originally supposed to be part of this little series in the first place, but I really like how his expression turned out so I figured why not? :]

The poor boy hasn't been given nearly enough reasons to smile, so I just had to take it upon myself to fix that! I wanted to see a real giddy, gummy smile from our favourite angsty solar surfer, and I think I managed to capture it really well, personally ^-^

As for the full picture, I might have him on the side of a ship, looking at something that piqued his interest off in space. I'm not quite sure yet bahahaha

That being said, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

Day four of drawing a new expression each day! :D

This time I wanted to draw a startled or apprehensive character, and I think I managed to get the point across decently ^-^

I watched a few episodes of Peaky Blinders right before getting started on this, and I think he ended up looking a little like Cillian Murphy as a result lmao, I had to give him blue eyes after realising that

(the hair is also very influenced by a character in the series, Arthur Shelby Jr to be specific)

Hello peeps!

Here's day three of drawing a new expression (and consequently, a new character) each day ^-^

Their furthermost eye kept fighting me on the iris-placement, so they'll just have to have a slight lazy-eye! Lmao

I don't know how visible it is, but it's a fun little detail about the character either way ^-^

I'm not sure how I would title this expression, other than 'cocky', perhaps fuckboy is more accurate

Their gender is a complete mystery to me tbh, @thescribblings commented that they feel very sapphic, but my initial plan was to draw a man! Maybe they're genderfluid just like me :]

I feel like I'm getting pretty good at rendering!! And I'm super happy with how the mouth turned out, that perspective is always so tricky for me TTvTT

Freckly characters with confusing genders aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

Greetings, friends!

I know I missed yesterday's expression-drawing, but I have a good reason!! I was celebrating my grandmother's 70th birthday, and I got home at like 22:00 TTvTT

Either way, here's day two of drawing a new expression each day! :D

Today's character is enjoying the sunlight ^-^

I tried to put some more thought into the rendering this time, and I think I did alright!

I'm super happy with how his hair turned out, I had a lot of fun with it and I think it looks really cool :]

(I might be a little biased towards rat-tails and mullets though bahahaha)

By the way, constructive criticism and suggestions on which expressions I should draw are very welcome! I don't know if I've mentioned this already, ignore it if I have ^-^

Pretty heliophilic elves aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲

I've decided that I'm gonna try to draw up a quick expression every day as practice, so here's number one! ^-^

Well, number two if you count my latest little drawing lol

He kinda looks like Cherry Blossom from SK8, I realised just now bahahaha

>:C

YOU HAVE LIKE NO POSTS THIS IS SO UNFAIR

>:[[[[

Just you wait, I'll get my revenge

I watched this happen in real time, it was horrifying

I meant to post this to my side blog lol, but I'm too lazy to take it down and re-post it so we'll just have to deal with it TTvTT

Out practicing my bow skills, I couldn't ask for better company ^-^🧡

I was gonna call this expression practice, but let's be real, I just wanted to draw a pretty punky dude in dramatic lighting lmfao

I had to include orange eyeshadow, because that's my own go-to 😌🧡

Alrighty!

If I don't respond right away, I'm probably sleeping lmao

Just a little heads-up, in case that happens ^-^
