Dearest Balicakes, I hope you get better soon and you’ve always been such a huge huge huge inspiration to me and you’re just amazing *virtual hugs* also your coloring skills are the best all of your art is the best!!
I got a couple of anon messages yesterday so I will just answer them both here!
Anonymous asked you:
Well thank you! Ahaha, it’s been a while since I posted or even—drew anything, actually…but it’s good to hear such kind words! And, of course, the well-wishing is very appreciated.
Anonymous asked you:hi bali, I know you’re going through some rough times right now, but when your life is back on track etc would you mind doing a tutorial on heads? i can only seem to draw stuff from a 3/4 perspective and i love the way you draw heads! if you could do that at some point (there is NO rush) that would be much appreciated :3 get well soon! (too shy to ask with personal blog!!)
I think that might be the first—well, no, second time I’ve been asked for a tutorial. (Someone asked me how I drew hair once, didn’t they? Hrmm.) But, umm—yeah! I’d be happy to whip up a little something once I feel a little better. There’s that, and then the small issue that while I was gone, Mom decided it’d be a good idea to get my room clean to start ‘improving my environment’—which I didn’t mind, but she lost my tablet pen in the process! So it’s somewhere. I might have to order a replacement.
(Watch me find it again as soon as I do)
Also thank you!
zimrathon asked you: Jeanne’s top 5 favorite dresses (whether you’ve drawn her in them or not)
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
1.) 
2.) 
3.) 
4.) 
5.) 
As a whole, Jeanne tends to prefer Antivan garments: light, flowy, and easy to move around in. On occasion, however, Fereldan and Orlesian elements will leak into her choices: Fereldan, of course, because she grew up there, and Orlesian because of some long-forgotten memories—and it’s where she spends most of her time post-Blight.
(I may or may not colour these later)
ANOTHER QUESTION (yes I know, I am full of them), this time for the SWTOR players:
Getting my pre-order in now. Do I want the Standard Edition or the Digital Deluxe Edition?
(Here, have another drawing of Dibella because wow I have already been going through withdrawals for this game)
(also augh why is tomorrow Sunday, I have things that need to get done yesterday ; ; )
Makeup-wearing companions!
What are your favourite types/brands/items to use of various skincare, makeup, and brushes?
A question for science and consumer-y reasons. I’m looking at Sephora for things and I am usually the sort to go for Bare Escentuals, but I am open to suggestions!
Question to make this work goes here?
Anonymous asked you:
How do you manage to draw Jeanne’s hair? Anytime I try to draw something besides straight hair is comes out terrible. Pointers?
Well, I did put this up a little while ago:
But seriously: it’s always good to have references. Look through hair magazines, go searching online for examples of the kind of hairstyle you want to draw! Take note of the things you see: how gravity works on a certain style, the way the hair changes when you put it up in certain ways; texture, shape, all of it.
How does it frame the person’s face? Is there a certain kind of look you’re going for? How thick/thin is the person’s hair? Questions like that will change the way you draw it.
And don’t be afraid to practise! Hair can be really difficult to draw, given how much detail there can be.
If you're intimidated by me, go on anon and tell me why
I never really questioned if people were intimidated by me (I always assumed they weren’t lol) but sometimes I get anons asking about myself…and it’s usually things that I wouldn’t mind sharing!
so please, I would love to know your input on the subject! c:
(also you don’t have to go anon, but if it makes you more comfortable then go for it~)
I really hope none of you are intimidated by me, but if you are…..
My anon is always on.
Also, stop being intimidated, if you can. There’s no need to be. <3
Indeed.
I have been told this is the case a few times! And if you’re curious about anything, feel free to ask.
Anonymous asked you:
What did Jeanne look like in her Origins game? Do you have any screenshots?
Yup! Let’s see here…
I actually had Jen work with her—I made Jeanne on my own, but I play console. She had the PC and the mods to make it work.
Soooo, here’s Jeanne:
(Yeaahhhh, you knew that one was comin’.)
Behold my favourite cap of the bunch. Just…augh. I can feel the sappiness rolling off in waves. THAT LOOK. THAT MOMENT. Ridicu-larse. (♥)
Reblog if you want your followers to ask you anything they’re curious about.
DO IT DO IT DO IT (I’m at the drearydataentrydayjob and I’m boooooored)
Doing this for the new followers and if you haven’t gotten the chance to ask stuffs 8Da Anon is open btw.
Aw, why not. :)
Yes, please and thank you!
(I am engaging in silly Tumblr things whilst firing off e-mails and working on the ask blog, so HEY WHY NOT.)
TMI TUESDAY
I haven’t done this in quite a while, and I have new followers who might be curious, so hey! Ask away.
