Stares At You - Blog Posts

I’m so glad you liked it, I was honestly having so much trouble with the shading and background.

Yet I had so much fun with line art and just lighting the place ablaze with orange and yellow. *CHAOTIC 5’4 GREMLIN NOISES*

And I couldn’t also let myself be sad for not putting sprite you in the drawing. So I drew you in (idk care if my fingers are already burning. I WANT YOU TO STARE INTO EVERYONE AND INCLUDING YOUR SOUL)

So I had recently found out it was my online friend’s Birthday soon (because I had asked why they put “gonna eat a huge 🍑 of cake” as their status)

And I had instantly known at that moment, that I was gonna wrestle my art block in a WWE Match, and push myself out of my comfort zone by becoming a digital artist.

I have drawn some digital art in the past, but I have never ever been satisfied with its looks, nor did I even finish them — so i’m really happy with how this turned out.

And Happy Early Birthday @peachburger 🥳🎉 HOPE YOU ENJOY THE GIFT!! 💝

BONUS:

This took me 5 hours, 15 minutes, and 35 seconds — which is honestly surprising giving the fact that the last time I drew semi-realism art, it took 24 hours and was never taken out of the to be continued bin again.

In real life though — it took me 3 days to finish since I started at August 2 and ended on August 4.

I’m gonna leave him here, make sure he stays out of trouble

Kuboyasu finds out that Saiko doesn't know what Legos are because he's only ever used money as building blocks, so he takes his Lego collection to Saiko's mansion.

Of course, by the time he gets there, Saiko has not only cleared out the 5 nearest toy stores of their Lego supplies but also hired a civil engineering firm to make a huge insane money diorama, a rainforest theme with cash monkeys and coin-encrusted bugs.

Kuboyasu can't help but be impressed by the building techniques, but of course he also insists that Saiko didn't do any of that himself and would completely fail to make anything interesting if it was him.

Naturally Saiko accepts the implicit challenge and they have a build-off.

Kuboyasu tries to make his motorcycle out of his beloved old Legos but he doesn't have enough of them to make it life-sized. Luckily, he manages to goad convince Saiko to let him use some of the new Legos he'd bought.

Meanwhile Saiko is fighting for his life because while he watched the engineers build the cash diorama and remembers the techniques they used to make certain shapes and joins, he just doesn't have the practical experience or dexterity to recreate most of them. He struggles to create something fancy for a good long while, then gives up and decides to just go big with the basic stacks he already knows how to build.

To no one's surprise, Saiko gets himself into trouble trying to make a money Tower of Babel, no matter how much his staff tried to discreetly help him (he had banned interference). He has a tumble off the top of the collapsing tower, and Kuboyasu automatically lunges across the room to catch him.

When Saiko lands in Kuboyasu's arms, their eyes meet and they have a certified yaoi moment. Once Kuboyasu gets back to his senses, he coughs and puts Saiko down gently onto his feet. He tries to brag that since he'd finished his motorcycle and Saiko's creation had collapsed that he'd won their little contest.

But then Saiko points out that Kuboyasu had accidentally knocked over his own motorcycle in his rush, and the Legos were scattered all over the floor. Kuboyasu stares in dismay, then gets pissed off when Saiko smugly points out that his fallen money sculpture has settled into mounds that quite resemble the Andes mountains.

"Andes nuts," replies Kuboyasu grumpily.

They get into a scuffle over this, naturally. Boys will be boys...
