Ohhh haaai~

So I draw things. And I think I am decent. Naturally, I thought, why not showcase my drawing-thingies here, since I love to share it with my friends! ^^

I do accept criticism, however I do wanna say that ignoring "proper" lineart is a conscious choice, as I myself feel that sketches look more... Alive. I like it ya know. It is simply my style.

So buckle up for some JoyArt!

(If you dislike Isldar or repetetive themes you might not like these. I largely draw my own characters and those who interact with them, thus you'll see alot of the same faces)

So my first character, Jovelin Snowborn getting drunk with her friend Bryce Arcus. This is 2 years old, from when I joined massive, so yeah. I still truly enjoy it however.Except that barrel. Wtf Barrel.

This was a drawing of my old maiar character, I reckon this is maybe 1 year old? 1 and a half? Something like it? I don't even remember her name, I think it was something very HAH like Pearl. One of my few favorite "linearted" and colored drawings, still made with pencils.
D2u6EL2.jpg
Portrait sketch of my cheesy vampire Devon whom I played for like a month this fall. I suck at drawing males so I kinda like this one.

A badly photographed drawing from this fall/winter of my qadir Rheki Zulatkha, Conrad from @Gloster173 and Sitrius from @ContestedSnow

Hey what is this gorgeous thing, it's my isldar Larasviel of course! This is the sketch @MonMarty relined and made a masterpiece out of, you can check his art thread out.

Now this is something I did yesterday, and dern am I proud. This is the first time I've sat down and made a whole drawing digitally colored, and yes, it's not linearted, it's still in sketch mode on purpose.
eQJlsmg.jpg
My first test where I redid a sketch of mine into a digital sketch. And here I realized I have to do more of this because it was soooo fun! it's of my character Breon on a slightly bad day.
t0sJFcp.jpg
A picture of what future COULD hold for Breon. I just felt like drawing something cutesy and romantic, you'll see my next pictures become way darker in coloring and mood.
tIfz7zA.jpg
My character Breon in formal attire, and with her casting tattoos that she has yet not gotten.
l9LN6mO.jpg
Breon and her brother Darius, and despite popular belief they are not about to kiss. Rather get in a fight. Breon has been up late, Darius thinks she's drunk (Which is true) and she denies this, thus he examines her. Get yo incest thoughts out of here :3
wgOypJC.jpg
The young Silevons having a slumber party of sorts where they play games. In order, Castien, Saria, Darius and Breon. Castien is excelling at the game, confident he'll win. Saria is having a peek at her brother's cards, and Darius notices this. Breon as the stone cold liar she is has brought extra cards to the game, and is in thought of how to cheat to win~

This was made with the song Fields of Gold by Sting in the back of my head. It's a concept I've had in my mind for a while, but I finally put it to use. It is my Breon, and a certain Santorski thaT SHE SHOULDN'T BE WITH. May the spirit have mercy on me.
Song: Fields of Gold by Sting
(Did I really have to write it tho)

ed13215f82c93c160192895ba9ca3b1a.jpg
You know how Breon has a liking for northerners? Well. Her mother did too in the past~
Song:

Hrm. Hrm. Shame on them, shame on me.
Song: Roman Holiday by Halsey

So, so I ship my characters alot. Naturally, we've all shipped our characters with a Coen before, no, nO, DO NOT EVEN TRY TO DENY IT. So naturally, I shipped Breon and Warren, I feel they'd be sarcastically flirting until they couldn't keep their hands to themselves. Sort of a "I hate that I want you" thing. And as you might understand, this ship is not even a little bit canon.
Song: The One by We Are Harlot
tz4yyMi.jpg
Breon suffers from a unfortunate mixture of narcolepsy and all too vivid nightmares, resulting in many sleepless night, often spent by the window, curled up in a ball. When many people think she's just afraid of the dark, she's truly afraid of the nightmares, and the pain of not being able to sleep.
Song: Monster by Itchy Daze
ADO8JlI.jpg
It is Breon, once again, sitting in the Regalian wilderness. Flowers have always had a big meaning to the ice elf, as her mother planted forget-me-nots at a tree instead of a formal grave when his body wasn't found.
The bouquet is made up of red primroses, the primrose itself symbolizing young love, and "I can't live without you". The color red is no accident either, it is a color of many associations, but a few are danger, courage, passion and love. It is a flower she connects to a very specific person~
(The background is lame, I know, sorry)
Song: Photograph by Ed Sheeran
h6dxed3.jpg
If it isn't my favorite non-canon heretical, nearly impossible ship Breon x Warren. Uguu. So what are we looking at. Breon and Warren is attending a ball, of course not together, but nevertheless the same ball. Breon, feeling rather out of place decides to go get out of the spotlight and basically hide from all the people. Warren notices this out of the corner of his eye, and goes there to accompany her, and try to lift her spirits shortly after. It's a very innocent ship image of the ones I've made, as it's only kawaii talking going on~
Song: My Heart I Surrender by I Prevail
nrO6dIc.jpg
Surprise. He is. This is a sketch I did in the beginning of the year, it is Johann's ghost (I know ghosts aren't lore compliant but for God's sake let me have my cheap drama) holding Larasviel the first night she has to sleep without him. Does she see him? No. This makes it more difficult, as Johann has to watch her in pain without being able to intervene, she doesn't know he's there, being alone without the person that was all of her support for a large part of her life. At this point Breon is around a month old, so she never knew him.
Song: Afterimage by WVNDER

Naturally when an elf and a human fall for each other, there has to be an understanding and thought in the back of their head that the elf will live half of their life without the human. Therefore, despite it being a tragic thing, it is something expected and thus more manageable.
But what if the elf dies.
Song: Sleepless by The Strive
Vl69POP.jpg
2 character cards with a with Larasviel and Breon, my two characters, wielding their preferred weapon and wearing their skin clothing. For Lara, this is her sword and dagger, Hymnor and Rythor, and for Breon it's her Ellon Projection.

Well I ship things. So when I talked to @Nastynick about his ellon mage I just found their personalities oddly fitting, and the fact that she has a white sibraxas ellon, and he has a house cat ellon.. It just made me really loving the ship. Ofc, it's not canon at all, but come on, this has never stopped me before. And yes, she's wearing his shirt~
Song: Never gonna leave this bed by Maroon 5
a4fIJz8.jpg
So I wanted to do something of Breon and her Ellon. So. I did. Here ya go. And yes, yes that is indeed my attempt at lineart, don't hate on it.
YEqOXPj.jpg
... Yeah. Ehm. Sad things. A little girl visiting her mother's grave on her deathday, the day after her own birthday, just telling her how life is going with her father behind her. Best accompanied with music that makes you want to tear your eyes out to stop them from crying.
Song: Until the world stops turning by Kaleb Jones
iVvgxKJ.jpg
Well since last one was depressing, I really wanted to draw something stinking cute. So I did. Eeey, It's Breon and Friederike leaving Regalia for the woods under Lo's rule, trying to find some warmth in the winter by cuddles and blankets :3 Probs my new favorite ship. I'LL NEVER STOP.
Song: Alone Together by Fallout Boy
eZz2Z1g.jpg
Just a lil something of Freon :'D I'm getting addicted to this ship too much, they're too cute, I'm dying. Anyways. Idk what this picture is, I just came up with it when listening to Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran. I can imagine it is... Uh. When Breon comes home from getting collared. Or. Something. Idk. Just enjoy the picture damnit.
Song: Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran.
3biUg4B.jpg
Just a cutesy picture of Friederike almost being killed (aka being given skating lessons) by Breon. What don't you do for love though?
Song: None yet
2dCTDSX.jpg
A lil something I did the night to Christmas, Breon holding her very favorite ellon mage. I am very, VERY happy about the piece, and is probably the most accurate picture of Breon's facial features (I have a bit of a problem with copying appearance and keep it uniform through pictures.
Song: White Tiger by Our Last Night
aacIg1x.jpg
The follow-up of Breon holding Friederike while he's in ellon form; Friederike getting a friendly headbump from Breon in ellon form. AH ELLON CUDDLES. I live for it.
Song: White Tiger by Our Last Night
yUgJdIV.jpg
Meet Ahlwin Holzer. He's the non-existant, yet deathly adorable child of Breon and Friederike that I just can not keep myself from drawing.
Tis a portrait of him in his teens, look at that teen hair flip. Awkward too long hair. Gah. Ok I love it. Ofc he have all of his father's colors, except his eyes, and then he has those dank pointy ears.
nBK6KJL.jpg
Once again it is Ahlwin! This picture is when Ahlwin is around 6-10 years old, Breon is away for whatever reason, and Ahlwin wakes up from nightmares. Friederike, being extremely awkward in his fatherly abilities, simply reverts to turning into his ellon form, hoping it'll help, which it does each time.

There we go for starters, I'll throw in some more as I produce it below~​

Can't believe I didn't notice this before! I love the progression of improvement in your art. I really enjoy your art & style so keep going!
 
Was a while since I updated this thread huh. I have gotten into digital art and streaming as of late! My stream is under JoyShake on Beam, and it is indeed connected to the forums as well, so if you see a 1 by the stream it /might/ be me! ^^
But to the drawings!

(Warning, if you hate isldar look away. All of them are of my own character and with her family in some. You have been warned)

My first test where I redid a sketch of mine into a digital sketch. And here I realized I have to do more of this because it was soooo fun! it's of my character Breon on a slightly bad day.

A cute lil something of my favorite heretic couple, Breon and gah yeah ok just look.

(Ah dis is why I'll never be more than a heretic elf)

@JoyShake I beyond love all of this. Seeing this art literally makes me fill with Joy (sorry for the pun could not resist <3) Anyway, keep up the fantastic work! I love your style and how real and warm it feels. It's all beautiful.
 
HOLD THE FUCK UP JOY.

SO SO SO I WAS REWATCHING ONE OF YOUR STREAMS BECAUSE I MISSED IT, AND ONE OF THE SONGS WAS BY HALSEY. EXPLAIN YOURSELF, PLS TELL ME YOU'RE AS BIG OF A HALSEY FAN AS ME

I have the unhealthiest obsession of Halsey rn. Omfg I could listen to her without stopping. Favorites are Hurrican, Roman Holidcay, Colors, Strange Love and Young God.
 
-slams fist into table- DAMN IT JOYSHAKE. SHIPPING WITH A SANTORSKI IS JUST NOT HERETICAL ENOUGH ANYMORE. WE NEED A COEN.

Enjoy~
This ship is in no way canon, so do not treat it as such.

(Pls no judge gauntlet Brycea was super mean and said he wanted it and I never draw armor so I was sad Brycea is so mean, love you @Brycea111 <3)

Literally I'm fangirling. This is gorgeous. I should start a fan club just for your art. Absolutely stunning. The proportions are spot-on. Aha! Not to be weird, but I totally look up to your art and level of skill! Keep it up!! <3
 
Since my last drawing was something that will never happen, how about something that happens regularly?

Breon suffers from narcolepsy and reoccurring nightmares, resulting in countless sleepless nights.

ADO8JlI.jpg
 
Second attempt at a background, hilariously enough, my first attempt was better as I just stopped fighting with this one, I surrendered. Diddely.

Anyways. It is Breon, once again, sitting in the Regalian wilderness. Flowers have always had a big meaning to the ice elf, as her mother planted forget-me-nots at a tree for her father instead of a formal grave when his body wasn't found.

Well, here comes a lengthy project. PEW. Thing took like 20 hours.

Damn them nobles and their fancy clothing.

So it is of course, my Breon and Warren from @Brycea111 (Duh). They're at a ball, Breon is feeling rather out of place, and basically goes to hide in a back room instead, which Warren sees, and goes to accompany her because, uguu, kawaii reasons, still keeping a proper distance of a PILLAR in the way. See, it is so much proper than my... Previous shipping drawings. I like to draw hot things ok pls no hate.

This ship is still not canon and should not be treated as such,
it's just my shippy past-time, I love it, I can't stop, send help.

Can we all just take a second to admire how much pain Joy went through to draw this
 
Oh look. I found an old sketch of mine. And I did made it digital. Can I get like a slow clap?

So it be Larasviel (Who is that you ask) who is my Silevon (But isn't your Silevon Breon?) who is Breon's mother (Wait what) and Breon's father Johann (Oh?) who is dead (But why does he look so weird) and this is his ghost (Wait Joy ghosts arent't lore compliaa-) Sh.

It's just something fun I did this morning, I wanted to play around with some ghosts n stuff k. I like it. LOOK AT THOSE SHINY TEARS. -sheds a proud tear-

ceH3wJd.jpg
 
-cries because she has no talent and these are beautiful-

*rates 'more talent then Piccaso'*
 
Holy mother of Ea.

That's something that us commoners like to call
HIGHLY WORSHIPPABLE.

JOY I SWEAR
I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU

NOTHING BECAUSE I'M BROKE

..
..
BUT I WOULD
If I had more money
Probably.
 
Oh look it's Joy. Is she back with more hot making out pictures?

Hahahah lol no. Have a sad drawing instead.

So uh story behind this.

2 character cards with a with Larasviel and Breon, my two characters, wielding their preferred weapon and wearing their skin clothing. For Lara, this is her sword and dagger, Hymnor and Rythor, and for Breon it's her Ellon Projection.

This is something I've considered selling, so if you'd be interested in it, send me a pm. And as I said I have considered, nothing decided so I might not even produce. But I have been enjoying making these two.
