Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 41mRole-swap is a very fun concept because a characters "role" will be influenced by their own past actions to some extent, so I can somewhat use their default lore depending on how I choose to apply it ^^ You can also infer their actual roles from this >:) 000
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 41mIf there were a personification of perfectionism I would rally to grant it a public execution I found a cute set of October art prompts; AU-Tober! An interesting chance to play with their lore or just throw my OCs in fun situations ^^ Cant guarantee I'll do every day but I'll try a few :) 111
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Beautiful work! I love the warm colors :) You also mentioned having difficulties with the clothing but I think you did a great job here! 👀 110
Reposted by Alison 🥀SirGOGetter @sirgogetter.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Happy Birthday, Momiji! At last, an illustration dedicated to one of my favorite characters. Probably the most complex (outfit) design I've tried to do, too. Didn't do EVERYTHING I wanted, but I'm pleased here. #ninjagaiden #deadoralive #doa #momiji #もみぢ 271
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I thought the render layer alone looked quite fun so I thought I'd post it here ^^ I'll elaborate on some of my creative choices in a later post 020
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I haven't done these in a hot minute and considering how I'll get busier going forward this may have to be my last but this was always fun, thank you for hosting these Kira ^^ I'm down to be in the stream 010

Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 05/09/2026hehe I'm always glad to help It's unfortunate that I can't give that much advice on the leaves since I don't have much experience drawing them myself but I am glad to be of help regardless 020
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I'm so upset while typing this I hit the load-previous-site shortcut on my mouse TWICE and undid ALL of my text I feel like Sisyphus izadrgfaukhwdgfouqzwrbrg 210
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 04/09/2026That should be everything! If the advice is too late it wouldn't hurt to save this thread for a later date and try it on a new background :P It's a lotta general info that can be valuable in many cases ^^ I'm still practicing backgrounds myself but I hope this can help you as it did me >:) 110
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 04/09/20264.2. Silhouettes and the boundary between light and shadow are the best areas to clarify texture while keeping details low. You can add the forms of the leaves as shadows in the bushes at the boundary between light and shadow or their silhouettes in the trees and you've got pretty and simple trees! 110
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 04/09/20264.1. A bonus if you want to challenge yourself a bit The main cause of noise in the image are the leaves, I can tell you used a brush but with a bit of effort they can reasonably be simplified and you would reduce the 'busy' effect you mentioned. 110
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 04/09/20263.1 You used three values for light, mid-tones and shadows each. not a bad idea but it can reasonably be simplified to one or two values of low contrast, as the eyes aren't meant to focus on the area the detail isn't required 110
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 04/09/20262.1. While more realistic on larger scales because the atmosphere causes it, you can lighten the background and darken the foreground to achieve a sense of dimension in the image the inverse can also be achieved through light falloff, so you have options 110
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 04/09/20261.2. So the goral is to unify the values a bit by either darkening the leaves or lightening the branches, you can choose based on the vibe of the image you're trying to go for colors are always relative so it won't look off to have either change their values 110
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 04/09/20261.1. If you use a black or white saturation layer on your drawing you can see that the values are a bit all over the place. The branches having significantly different values from the leaves cause a lot of contrast and would draw the eyes away from the focal point. 110
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Not sure if I'm timely enough but I have a few ideas on how you can simplify the image a bit if you feel it is too 'busy' that can still look nice and stylized 1. Values create contrast 2. Values create dimension 3. Less is morestatic.klipy.comBongo CatAlt: Bongo Cat 110
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Quick inverse -about 30 mins- with detailed shadows and simple lights I may continue doing this but I believe I'll see the most progress if I try this exercise with more complicated shapes #art #study #artstudy 030
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Thank you for the input! Although I believe there's definitely a more beautiful method to clarifying shape than adding the reflective lights in their simplest form. I'll probably experiment a bit more with this- I have quite a few of these shape-pictures, after all >:) 010
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 21/08/2026oooh been a whole year huh 👀 It looks amazing! The hip bones being visible from the lower back may be my favorite part, great attention to detail! >:] 110
Reposted by Alison 🥀SirGOGetter @sirgogetter.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Tamaki from #DeadorAlive, just in time for her birthday! My first full illustration in over a year; always wanted to do a fun pool scene, and I think this one turned out well! Definitely wanted to make this one a bit on the saucey side. Hope it works! 😛 *labeling for the swimsuit* 6126
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 21/08/2026little 1h exercise, I wanted to keep the shadows as simple as possible while using mainly lit-up areas to provide form I ended up being a little indecisive about whether to count reflected light so I just made two variants- one with reflected light and one without #art #study #artstudy 140
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 19/08/2026simpler works are very relaxing :] #art #artstudy #study 051
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I'll see if I can become more active again though I always enjoy interacting with you and others here and your semi-recent posts about being less perfectionistic about your art were quite inspiring to me considering that's my main motivation killer too so I might just take a page out of your book ^^ 000
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 18/08/2026<3 Thank you and yeaaah I've been very inactive lately that's my bad. I find myself at a crossroads in my life so I've been busy with that and not drawing a lot also somehow whenever I peek at bsky lately the mutuals feed is broken >:[ doesn't help that that's my favourite feed. 210
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 15/08/2026heard a good way to get better at simplifying is to give yourself a time limit so I did a few studies where I gave myself 5 mins to do each Main thing I'm seeing is that I tend to stick away from extreme values Might use black and white as a groundwork next time to see how it goes then^^ #artstudy 121

Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Ahh my bad, I didn’t think about colorblindness. Fair enough then~ 000
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 27/06/2026And while I understand that slightly different hues are an important way to distinguish your OCs, adding even the shadows would seem a bit restrictive? All in all I just believe simplifying the palette a bit would make it both easier to use and come across as less strict. (3/3) 100
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 27/06/2026colors and shading anyway, and a multiply layer could suffice if someone really wants an easy way out. Next to that it’s a lot simpler when you look at a part of an outfit and can immediately gauge which of two given colors is the right one as opposed to wondering which may just be a shadow.- (2/3) 100
Alison 🥀 @alisonrosey.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Ohhh I think this is very cool and incredibly useful! I do think you could simplify it to just the flat colors though. If I’m not mistaken you added shadows to the palette which seems redundant and ends up looking quite cluttered. I’m sure you know how different styles and environments change- (1/3) 100
