I regret to inform you that I am still drawing elves
these two are actually my own! originally the redhead was supposed to be blonde, but 1) I already have a blonde on the front cover and 2) honestly he looks better with red
it’s the flats to a fanzine’s back cover with a rough layout of where i want the shadows to be… once i start actually rendering it…

Trying something new with comic making. While I love the flexibility and speed of digital art, I feel like I’m more consistent and have better control of line work with traditional art. We’ll see how this turns out!
1Something began to draw at seven pm :,0 and it turns out..uhm not bad? Probably? Although it’s strange that this art so realistic,more precisely, more realistic than before, idk why :0
8So for fic writers, given the whole Bob and Eliza ordeal, don’t give up or feel discouraged in writing your fics. Especially if they are Bellamy and Clarke centric. I felt this a few hours after reading everything and I reached out to someone who’s been helping me with my fanfic and I’m going to share you the advice they gave me.
Recast Bellamy and Clarke if you aren’t comfortable with Bob and Eliza. You don’t have to literally tell your readers the recasts like “Alice Smith portrays Clarke” and “Alex Schmidt portrays Bellamy” but you can if you’d like, that’s all on you. And if you do go with that, keep the characters the same. Keep Clarke and Bellamy absolutely the same as in the show just change the details of the physical features. Or, find images that fit Bellamy and Clarke racially and ethnically and save them in your fanfic files — eventually these two randomly faceclaimed people will become your Bellamy and Clarke in your head when you mentally picture them.
And some thought from myself: instead of describing the TV show characters you can literally use the books. They are the original material and those descriptions are canon. The TV show is ideal to the creators and acting ability and a lot of other Hollywood paperwork. So you very much can stick with the descriptions of Clarke and Bellamy from the books.
Plotwise: don’t feel like you should no longer write Bellarke, Clexa, Becho, etc. fics. Actors are not their Characters. Hopefully the fandom won’t discriminate against OC x Bellamy or OC x Clarke, as again, Actors do not equal Characters. Please be sensitive with triggering material in your books. For example, my OC Xis in Red Spear is minorly physically abused in a similar way Wells was with Bellamy, Murphy, and Mbege taking the wristband off IN THE FIRST CHAPTER. It’s an event that makes her realize life won’t be like what it was on The Ark. I’m not including it just for fucks sake. It’s a pivotal column that can either hinder or help build their relationship. And yes, her relationship is rocky with Bellamy with ups and downs throughout it all, and she does NOT at all fall in love with Bellamy in the next chapter. It takes time to forgive someone for hurting you and even then you may not trust them, so please don’t give your OC Stockholm syndrome solely for Bellamy Blake. (Just don’t go the Stockholm route for any character unless that’s actually a battle your character is facing. If so, it should be confronted with every character that harms or abuses your character to some degree. Y’know, like, do actual research and not rely on Hollywood’s depiction.) As for Clarke, they’re best friends and practically see each other as sisters. A contrast relationship compared to the one she has with Bellamy, she doesn’t unconditionally amp up every decision Clarke makes, nor is she a fake friend getting along with her for the sake of survival. If you’re going to write your OC as Clarke’s bestie or sibling figure, please give them contrast and not make them “twins” who literally speak for one another. And please don’t shape Clarke into a bitch figure. This fandom is toxic when writing their personal opinions into their fics and totally OOCing the main leads for no reason other to show their hate.
Write Clarke as Clarke. Write Bellamy as Bellamy. It may be hard not to picture Beliza, but I’ll reiterate:
ACTORS ARE NOT THEIR CHARACTERS.
I hope this helps :)

[Liam Dunbar / Theo Raeken]When Liam has a chance to escape from an unsatisfying and dull life living in a big city, he decides to take the opportunity and move to Beacon Hills, a nice small town full of promise and beautiful scenery. It all seems perfect - that is until he gets to his house and finds that it looks nothing like the pictures. Everything’s a wreck, and Liam’s no handyman. Luckily, there’s a mysterious local in town who might just be able to help.
or: chaotic Liam, loner Theo, and a house-flipper AU all tied together.
