Luscinioide

i have procured some interesting hair texture brushes. i want to abuse them mercilessly. most of my POC characters are rocking dreads or other protective hairstyles, though, so i don't really have a lot to pick from in my own arsenal.

ANYWAAAAYS. i'm looking predominantly for black/mixed characters. maybe some asians (both east and south) because i always need to touch up on that facial structure. you're not going to get anything fancy. just a sketch of whatever i'm feeling. maybe some colors if i'm particularly generous.

obligatory boilerplate: no NSFW characters or groups. this includes characters with obvious sexual themes, that are involved in NSFW/smutty groups, or that would otherwise get you forcibly escorted off the public library premises if someone saw you looking at their profile. i don't want my art to be associated with smut lmao

also if you've gotten a freebie from me in the past couple months, pls dont request again, i'm trying to spread the love. also also no stolen art references. if there's not a credit attached to your character's references, i'm not drawing them

ok go

asdlkasjd you might need to point me toward something (or multiple things) in the realm of the aesthetic you're looking for...my brain's making aol dial up noises rn when it comes to just coming up with designs off the toppa' my head
Luca Barnes Haller (played anonymously)

*THROWS A TINY LUCA AT YOU AND HE SMACKS AGAINST YOUR FOREHEAD LIKE A STICKY-HAND TOY*

I know you've already drawn Luca before, buuuuut... O:-)
Maybe another little drawing of Luca would make his profile look neat? <_<

It's totally okay if not though.
I can't quite remember how long its' been since you drew me the first Luca, so yeah.

Once again, don't have to draw him again if you don't wanna. Just placing him here in-case you do.

Heyo, I have a dark skinned dragonborn character that I was looking to get art for. Any chance she meets the criteria of what you're looking for?

Moreno (played by Rigby)

Not Black, but considering the last thing I commed of this guy kept popping out as a white redhead no matter what I asked and it was altogether way too weird of an experience I'm not keen on repeating, I'll offer a guy with indigenous Mexican heritage for fun.

Otherwise all variants of Marc (Marcello/Marc Zhang) are East Asian if you're aiming for specifics!

i probably should have mentioned that i intend to keep this around as a bank to draw from over the course of a while, it's not an immediate results thing

...stay tuned, gang, i'm a bit busy atm

i have zero desire to be creative because this week has been absolutely dreADFUL between people deciding to die at inconvenient times and exams, but alas, luscin said they're gonna draw free shit so luscin's gonna draw free shit. and i have comms i need to warm up for...,,,

funny story: i think i have middle school homestuck trauma because there was this emo hottie who was mad into it and i lied and said i was also into it to impress her (also mcr). i told her i'd read every single page. i didn't even know who the #### vriska was but i said she was my favorite troll. anyways turns out emo hottie was 100% heterosexual and i made an absolute goddamn fool out of myself trying to read several thousand pages before she caught on for no particular reason

thanks for coming to my tedtalk on why i chose a half naked purple troll to draw first. also i should probably mention you guys can color these yourselves if you want because i'm too damn lazy to do it myself, just make sure it's noted you colored it and not me

i pretty much use sai for everything i do. i've got, like, two brushes. that's it. is it the best? ...no, but i've used it since baby's first digital drawing and i refuse to improvise, adapt, OR overcome

for the hair brushes i just use clip studio paint because it's literally cheating

hahah I paint with 1. Airbrush, 2. 1 pixel PEN, 3. ERASER
so like.. this is a judgement free zone if there ever was one. We don't grow here, we just keep doing what we do XD
