So I heard a song on the radio that isn’t really appropriate for Vahaadi and Spark since it’s a guy singing to a girl and it’s a love song, but the beat was so fun and the chorus caught my attention and somehow it inspired this strange pic that really has nothing to do with the song. Enjoy!
“You’re over my head, I’m out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby, you’re so classic “
Stumbled upon this portfolio of a professional game artist and I thought it was cool.
Here are some of my favorite pieces:
I notice as I am putting this together that two things basically came out of this. Composition and Line Thickness/thinness are my weakest points, color being a close third. I am too impulsive and whimsical in my art and would benefit from thinking more before I start drawing. I would also benefit from focusing long enough and maintaining enough discipline to add more details/change brush sizes even to simple sketches. I think then my desired results would be much more within my reach.
I’ve spent the last few weeks collecting and organizing art, combing through tons of references to identify elements I like and want to incorporate into my own style. I love to sketch, but I don’t know how to add color or make my pieces feel more finished/presentable.
Inspired by Sara Bareilles’ “Brave.” <3 Every line of this song is just perfect.
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
And since your history of silence
Won’t do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
They’re not perfect representations but I like them. Vahaadi’s smoke curl with the heart cracks me up because it’s perfect. I love how both of their expressions turned out.
Edited: I added a version of Spark with cooler gloves because I want to try drawing this alt look for her >w<
CallyAnn says:
If Vahaadi was actually Persian he would probably use this word as his pet name for Spark.
