Strapped down to something that you don’t understand Don’t know what you were getting yourself into You should have known Secretly, I think you knew (x)
Calling it done. Been staring at the lines for too long, and this was supposed to be a quick diversion.
I love Newt, but I want to see him suffer some consequences from mind melding with a giant alien beastie.
so ive done this before, im sure, but i wanna talk about Buckys scars. because i always see art with scarring all around the arm/metal line, and swear thats not what they are
five lines. yall do me a favor, and mimic clawing at your skin in that spot.
-the thumb would make the shortest line, and curve inward. -the pointer finger would have the most pressure on it from that angle, and the deeper the cut, the more likley it would get caught a bit and skip. see the break in that line? -middle finger would have the longest contact time -ringer finger a shot straight line, and the pinkey just a small gouge.
if he looked down and saw the arm, panicked, and tried to claw at it, thats exactly where he’d be looking and where he’d claw at it.
now (and if you could ignore the part where im severely obsessive and should probably get some kinda hobby), i painted my shoulder. just slapped some tempera paint on and tried to mimic what i think he did, and the results were actually pretty close.
(id have gotten a picture, but my roommate came home with guests and it was either walking back to my room to get my phone, or keep continuing my charade of making her think im mentally stable)
if anyone goes to a convention panel with him (or the Russos) i will pay you to ask about this
Like I needed my heart ripped out again
And, frighteningly, given his healing factor – those scars are probably from new scratches every time he wakes up and can’t remember what’s going on.
coloring scales was challenging, but I really liked the final result!
UMMM, HOW DID I MISS THIS????
WOW, thank you SO MUCH to @emsiecat for requesting this and to @rutobuka2 for the art??? I’m completely overwhelmed by the beauty of this seriously it’s like staring into the sun.
A few favorite parts (OF MANY):
– The COLORS, duke, the COLORS! The shading and lighting are just amazing, truly Ruto you’ve outdone yourself. I feel like I can see each tear in Bilbo’s clothes. They actually LOOK LIKE they’ve spent DAYS down in pit that is Erebor, properly travel stained as I could have only imagined and just wow I am in awe of your art.
– THE EXPRESSIONS – Bilbo looks PISSED and desperate which is how he’s supposed to look this is just so amazingly capturing the emotions and they look so perfect and in character I just LOVE IT.
– Thorin’s claws look properly horrifying and his face just makes my heart ache. Wow just everything, the colors the clothing the expressions, the lighting, I want to clutch this picture to my chest and never let go oh wow aoidjasoidjsad
