5. How Would You Describe Your Art Style?

WIP wednesdayyy

Been giving my hand a break the past week, so not much new under the sun compared to previously.

Almost finished with the cover for my stiles playlist (redraw of the 'lofi girl' image if it's not obvious), still working on the comic (ft a mirror shot that i painstakingly put together in my 3D program lol) and just for fun an example of how all my drawings start out: barely cohesive scribbles ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ (the only context you get is misheard lyrics lol)

Also thanks to everyone who voted in the poll i posted! More than half voted for 1 page at a time, so I think that's what I'm going to go for - maybe 2 if it's more coherent. Going to finish a few more before i start posting because i often need to go back and change/add things for consistency, but I'm hoping to start posting soon! ☆_☆

My subspecialty, i guess you could call it, is chronic pain - i did my master's thesis on sleep disorders in patients with chronic pain - so i've got a LOT of thoughts about the concept of 'stealing pain' in teen wolf.

The current definition of pain is

"an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage"

because pain is not purely a physical phenomenon, it's an experience not necessarily tied to any physical damage.

Of course you can delve into the different types of pain and argue that nociceptive and neuropathic pain is due to biochemical triggers (inflammation/tissue damage and nerve damage, respectively) as opposed to nociplastic pain - but even those are heavily modulated by how we perceive them.

In one of my psych classes we were shown a powerful example: In a segment from a local news station a lady had won a competition and as a reward she got a handful of minutes to 'empty out' a kitchen supply store - after all the excitement was done and she was being interviewed post-haul, suddenly a bystander points out that she's standing in a large puddle of blood. She'd dropped a knife into her foot at some point, resulting in a quite large gash. She'd felt nothing until someone pointed it out - endorphins, adrenaline, the works. (She was immediately attended to and recovered completely).

Studies show that pain perception increases dramatically in young, healthy subjects who were sleep-deprived even just for 24 hrs, and in the same vein stress, anxiety and distress also increases pain perception.

So where does that leave the idea of stealing pain in teen wolf? Rather than taking a physical representation of 'pain', maybe it's more stealing the perception of pain, the fear and distress?

Kind of a romantic notion, isn't it?

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

y'know the good thing about posting fanart of a show that ended several years ago is i don't have to fear anyone involved interacting with it - had enough of that dread in my sherlock days lol

You are faced with some random problem and the only person who can help you is the main character from the last piece of media you consumed (you can also do favorite character if there are multiple main characters). You can stay in this universe or be in the universe of the character, whichever you prefer, but the problem remains the same and the only person who can directly help you is the main character. That character can call on the help of those they know in their media, but when it comes down to it, they are the only person really helping you. How do you react to this situation?

Spin to find out your problem:

Happy (late) 3 months to my first ever sterek art (': insane how it's only been 3 months and fitting that it was babygirl coded derek that started it all ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

My 'the way Derek wears his sleeves long is giving babygirl vibes' friend kept showing me Ariana Grande pictures and saying 'this but Derek' and so of course I had to comply for purely selfless reasons :)

Continuing my Derek in soft sweaters crusade

Legit no lie I've been meaning to ask if you'd be up for an art trade, bc i would love to see something from B99 or it's alive from you AND I WAKE UP ON A MONDAY MORNING TO THIS???

the excellent choice in episode (the camping series is ICONIC, huge agree with the 1:1 derek and stiles camping vibes), the timing of the shots, the expressions! the way you did a semi-opaque layer over the plaid in the screenshot?? huge brain

I was inspired to rewatch It’s Alive with Brad bc of @melioristicbeast and their wonderful redraws bc it’s been a while and omg every camping episode is EXACTLY how I envision how Stiles and Derek camping together would go lol

anyways

*lovingly leaves this on your doorstep and runs back into the wilderness from whence I came*

A silly little warmup for a silly little friday [:

i have no context, feel free to provide your own lol

Wanted a cover for my 'I could see Stiles listen to this' playlist and since it can't be a gif - in which case it would have been this one:

- second best was a redraw of the lofi girl although the playlist is probably as far from lofi as you can get LOL

Link to playlist under the cut for those curious:

I've listed the ones I've done art for at the beginning but from there on I've just been adding whenever I came across something from my own liked songs that I could see stiles jam out to. Best on shuffle!

It ended up with so many of my hype favorites hahaha. if you put this on, say 'actually, what would realistically happen in this scenario is...' in the mirror 3 times and open a can of coke, you'll summon a ghostly apparition of me that'll poorly but enthusiastically dance in your kitchen.

it's WIP wednesday my dudes!

the as-always inspired file names are 'car nap' ('2 kinds of backseat nappers - the arms-and-legs-crossed and the ragdoll corpse' with more music headcanons), 'pool baseball' (an excuse to draw the body types i imagine for the boys), 'lofi' (self-indulgent cover for my Stiles playlist on spotify lol), and 'iA2' (2nd it's alive sequence) - last is a shot of the comic I'm working on, blocking in colors for the current page [:

derek may be my favorite character on the show but stiles is clearly my favorite to draw LOL. he's just a funny little guy.
