Winged Lion - Tumblr Posts
I think that one of my favorite things in dunmesh is just how Laios saved everyone by just being really autistic about his interests lol.
He was literally abused, othered, bullied and isolated for being himself throughout his whole life basically forcing him to keep inside his true self, the one time he tried to open up and being himself around another guy before the main events, it ended up with him learning that the other guy actually hated the way he showed his interests and found him really annoying and through several point in the manga we see people wary of Laios' interest in monsters as a potential recipe for catastrophe and what happened?
Laios beat this unimaginably old and powerful being which is the closest thing to a god in the dunmesh world only because he thought their ability to eat desires was cool af and added it to his self insert monstersona. He defeated this being so unimaginably powerful that their pressence can be felt in all parts of world history by eating their desires as his self insert monstersona he designed when he was 12.
Like holy shit, he saved the day, saved the world, saved EVERYONE by just being unapologetically himself which wouldn't have really happened had he not opened up and had his group not warmed up to his real self.
It's alright to be yourself, actually you are at your best when you are yourself, you can change the world by just being yourself and there's no need to hide that self because your real self is just so damn important and valuable.

My Watercolor Process
Thank you for 1000 notes!!!
As promised here's a post on how I made this painting and the materials I use (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Also commissions are still open!!! If you have ideas I will help you bring them to life <3 Please see my pinned post!!
Process info under the cut vvvvv
First some materials!
Line art: I use Sakura Pigma Micron pens for line art. The ink in these pens are waterproof after they dry, which is very nice if you want clean line art. Usually I do my line art with a 005 size tip, and then I come back through and thicken lines and add shadows with a 03 size and brush tip. I'm still learning new ways to do lineart, but this is my current go-to.
Paints: I use Windsor and Newton paints. I haven't really tried others, and I have a few mixed feelings about some of the colors and how well they mix with others... Especially cuz this was an expensive set. Thinking about trying a new brand eventually but that's what I'm using for now!
If I'm doing a bigger project I usually brainstorm it first in my normal sketchbook. Here's the brainstorm for this one. Sometimes I feel like certain aspects of the initial sketch look better than the final piece, haha. After this I normally will free hand redraw it onto watercolor paper, I don't like to trace things over. Then I'll do the line art, allow the ink to dry entirely, and erase the pencil underneath
If I'm doing a big or complex background normally I'll lay down some masking fluid. This essentially seals the paper in some rubber so no water or color gets in, and then you can rub it off when you're done with the background. My masking fluid is really old and nasty so it's hard for me to get clean edges with it, but it does the job well enough!
Something really important to watercolor if you want vibrant colors: layering or using less water! In this case I did layering. Here is a side by side of Laios and Marcille with one layer of paint vs. two layers. The important thing when it comes to layering watercolors is to allow the first layer to dry completely before the second. Otherwise the paint may create strange textures and uneven color.
Something else important to creating vibrant colors with watercolor: taking risk with shadows!! On a whim I chose blue to use for shadows on the Lion's wings. You can really see the difference in visual impact between the blue shaded and unshaded wing. Generally speaking it's recommended to do shadows using blue or purple in watercolor, but I find this isn't always a solid rule. Sometimes it depends on what your base color is and what kind of impact you want. It's taken quite a bit of trial and error to figure out what looks good for me, and even then I'm still out here guessing.
I hit my image limit so I'll cut it off here! If you have any questions feel free to ask (:
