((will return to normal Bea shenanigans, but first wanted to post some fanart for Tenaflyviper since she draws Gravity-kittehs and i just think they’re adorable. Robbie has to be my fave of the kittens, the little shit that he is <33 Robbie honestly does need more love~ …he reminds me of my friend Tyler and it makes me laugh XD And Mabel is my favorite character of all; so i wanted to have her in there. i’d like to imagine mabel trying to be Robbie’s friend~ cause mabel loves almost everyone <3))
Awwww! Robbiekitten, stop being such a turd. She just wants to make friends!
P.S., I know the whole kitten deal isn’t everyone’s bag, but they’ve just been such a fun distraction from the hiatus. Also, they’re just plain cute!
I was inspired by Lilithn’s gorgeous, curvy women (like her total knockout Robin - omg seriously go look), and realized I haven’t drawn any curvy women in waaay too long.
So, I feebly scratched out an older Mabel. It’s not great, but it sure felt good to draw a voluptuous chicky again. My blog may not show it, but I’d say the majority of times I draw female characters, I end up making them quite curvy. There’s a lot of ass and titties in my drawing folders.
I started working on this thing again.
I’m just fleshing out the form in scrap clay (the sad remains of a pink and purple flower cane, and a chunk of faux jade mix that I never got around to doing anything else with).
She’s sitting rather than standing now, because I should have built up more of her hair with foil. Her head and hair are damn near an entire block of clay.
I’ve just really felt a need to go back to tangible art for a while rather than digital. Not because of all the requests, but because my own inadequacies in digital painting were cheesing me off.
In other news, I found out the hard way that the little toaster oven in my room should never, ever be used for actual food. I have cooked so many pieces of polymer clay and tiny plastic horses in it that it has become imbued with a permanent toxic funk.
There are still people that spell it “Mable”, despite the fact that her name is spelled out not only in the opening credits of EVERY EPISODE, but also on TWO of her sweaters.
Just a friendly reminder - the voting for the WeLoveFine Gravity Falls T-Shirt Contest is still open!

Oh man - this is so exciting, I can’t stand it!
It only just now occurred to me that you probably meant to do it in the show’s style.
I fail all around.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

That aside I ... just .... hi i like your art
Damn. Off the wagon again.
But also - hello, and thank you! :D
I just wanna know how she fit all those sweaters on at the same time.
…
MABEL IS NARNIA.
(via heckyeahgravityfalls)
I would like to take a moment to point out how actually kind of horrifying it is that Mabel bedazzled her face.
For one, the Bedazzler does not look like a gun. It looks more like a sewing machine.
In order to Bedazzle your face, your face would have to fit between the metal plate that holds the setting, and the top part that presses in the jewel.
Even the Bedazzler Mini could not accomplish this, as you would literally have to have that little setting-holder piece under your flesh when applying the jewel.
I guess that’s fine if you want to Bedazzle your cheeks, but good luck with your forehead.
The old Bedazzler custom hand tool could better accomplish actually Bedazzling your face:
It was made for maneuverability, i.e. to apply studs that were odd shapes, or too large to fit into the Bedazzler machine.
However, there’s just one other thing, though - and really, it’s the most important thing.
Bedazzling does not just glue rhinestones to things. It doesn’t just neatly stick them on.
It punctures things into fabric.
And these are what hold the jewel on from the underside of the fabric.
The Bedazzler merely curls the points of the setting around the jewel more efficiently than a hand tool.
Mabel didn’t wince because something glued to her face popped off when she blinked.
She winced because she PUNCTURED THROUGH HER OWN GODDAMN EYELIDS.
Let us just hope, for Mabel’s sake, that maybe the show’s “Bezazzler” gun only glues rhinestones on.
