Sterek Fanart - Blog Posts

I feel like this drawing possessed me, sat me down and painted itself

The irony in that the primary idea was to focus on the arms and give stiles a tattoo but i couldn't get it to work with the limited colorpalette - altered closeup with the tattoo included under the cut! [find my stuff on Redbubble!]

Used mare.blk's tattoo style because if hand tattoos weren't a no-go in my chosen profession, I would get one by them done in a heartbeat. So stiles gets one instead lol Also used a 3D program to figure out the pose and angles - the canon height difference is there but bc derek's leaning it looks like stiles is taller which i'm not mad about I'll get around to drawing more derek initiating things soon, apparently i have a lot of stiles taking action to get out of my system ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Saw the last gif in this set and thought 'that man needs a blanket and a hug' - for @renmackree, hope things ease up for you soon ♥

First time making an animated gif, sorry if it's a lil choppy (':

Also psst, i have a redbubble shop now! let me know if there's anything specific you'd like available on there ☆

Frames under the cut:

inspired by the many long car rides where my siblings have had to suffer me doing option b (':

And since i drew characters with headphones on, you best bet it's time for more mel's music headcanons - foreign-language edition - under the cut.

You get two-for one here - I can imagine Stiles jamming to songs with no comprehension of the lyrics but he has an ear for pronounciation so Derek sometimes guesses the language of whatever he's singing along to lol:

You also get two for Derek (: I pick these from my own likes and i don't really listen to a lot of country which is my main headcanon for his music choices, but when i look at derek i think 'now there's a yearning man' so have some yearning-type music:

More naps for the boys (:

My headcanon is Derek has a beat-up old gameboy color (scratched up, the battery cover's missing, etc) that somehow survived the fire - maybe it was in a storage somewhere.

might line and render this later, but i liked the color combo so you also get this version <3

Dedicated to @renmackree who is the best hypeman, i appreciate you!

A silly little warmup for a silly little friday [:

i have no context, feel free to provide your own lol

College AU Sterek art for Myulalie this past Sterek Secret Santa

I kept meaning to come back and post this on my main blog but first i forgot and then tumblr yelled at my for my files being too big

and once again ive forgotten to sign it but WHATever it's fine.

Shoutout to my DnD homies and the buds in my art server for helping me fix stiles' face lmao and for saying "fuck it why do u need to color it" because FELT. i probably should have added another noise filter over top to help it look even more like an old photo but i just did not have it in me to do more.

(10 points to whoever guesses which (real) college campus the bg is from)

And you're fire, but sweet hot coals beneath my feet warm blood, body and I lost it when you found me

warm blood by flor

Alt coloring under the read more

This song always gets me in a soft mood (even more than usual, if possible) tried sth new with the hands, vaguely inspired by egon schiele

What was my plan for the day: a quick warmup and get some work done on a comic project

What ended up happening: mid-panel i remembered this image, the demons overtook me and suddenly it’s 10pm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"DerekDerekDEREK holy mother of GOD I'm about to fall 200 feet to my DEATH" "Better hold on tight, spider monkey" "What the hell is a sp- NO don't you daaAAA"

Another of my friend K's suggestions - when she found out I'd never watched twilight she suggested we do so together, but she keeps insisting she won't tell me what happens in the last ones in advance because then I'll 'never agree to watch them'. i am afraid.

I wasn't finished with the color scheme and scene from my heart boner drawing ♡

Happy Valentine's!

This one goes out to my friend K who pointed out I hadn't drawn them kissing yet lol

More of the boys making goo eyes at each other, because it’s what they deserve 💛

I’m really fond of the way just the lines look so you get those as well:

My friend K when I showed her this drawing: damn the man needs a BRA

“Sorry,” Stiles said, unsure of why he was apologizing. “I’ve never heard that song before. Did you write it?”  Derek looked uncomfortable, maybe a touch embarrassed, which was answer enough. “It’s good. I like it. It’s calming.”  The small smile he got in response melted his heart a little bit. Fucking hell, he was so gone for this asshole. Stiles didn’t know what he was going to do. He wished he’d never realized how much he loved him. Wished he’d just continued to think they were best friends and nothing more. It was slowly going to kill him being so close, and yet so fucking far. Clearing his throat, he brought the book back up to continue reading, muttering that Derek should keep playing. He did, his fingers plucking gently at the strings, filling the loft with soft music. It really was calming, and soothing. Stiles really liked it. He liked it even more when he realized Derek could honestly express himself with the guitar. It still wasn’t a voice, but it was something, at least. 

Actions Speak Louder than Words (ch18) by @isthatbloodonhisshirt

This fic is what spurred me to start doing sterek fanart back in the beginning of december - magic!stiles, cursed!derek, stiles/jackson terrifying everyone else as friends - an incredible 430K story with a completely endearing slow-burn and slowly unfolding exploration of the characters and their relationship, made complete with the perfect bow of cursed-mute-Derek because 'Derek's eyebrows have a language of their own but only Stiles is fluent' is my favorite and this author does it SO well. And gives Derek a guitar. Derek plays a guitar!!

Ella, consider this my loveletter to your works - they all, this one in particular, buoyed me through a tough time in my life and brought me back to a love of drawing that I haven't had in years and a fandom that has been so generous in their support of my silly art. Thank you for sharing your works!

And a huge thank you to everyone's support so far - the sweet comments in replies, the unhinged all-caps tags, yes-and'ing my silly ideas and headcanons, i'm just over here kicking my feet and giggling and definitely not getting teary-eyed over it no siree no lacrimal action happening here

"Knock knock! You boys up-" "NO! You can't come in, he's not DECENT!"

Stiles stilinski makes goo eyes at and jealously hoards soft derek hale send tweet

Part two of the brainworm @nerdherderette's request gave me (: Derek in stiles' clothing - the pajama bottoms are my own though (10+ years old target purchase, sadly not available anymore or i would've purchased a backup pair)

In my heart of hearts soft derek in comfy clothes makes stiles go HEART EYES MOTHERFUCKER in a markedly different way from nudity (◡‿◡✿)

It's been so amazing seeing all your gorgeous Sterek art on my dash. What a gift! For prompts, I'd love to see them sharing/swapping something meaningful to the other (e.g. Stiles wearing something iconic of Derek's, or perhaps Derek adding a tattoo that reminds him of Stiles?)

S: What are you doing here? Huh? This is private property. D: I did not stand like that. S: Love to break it to you, big guy - this is a bonafide 1:1 recreation. I remember it very well.

TYSM 😭😭

Your suggestion was really sweet, sorry my brain went in such a silly direction 🥹 I've another one in the works <3 I'm imagining this a few years down the line, i'm just really attached to stiles' buzzcut!

I'm certain this moment is very meaningful to stiles though (and yes derek, you did stand like that, you weirdo)

jumpscare derek hale

Creating the content i want to see in the world: more sleepy derek hale :] a wolf burrito. worrito. wolfarrito.

we'll workshop it.

Also to further my Stiles' erratic taste in music (other posts: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9) headcanon, he's listening to:

Which is another had-it-on-repeat-for-days kinda song for me, what can I say! it slaps. also recommend Bobby, huge earworm.

Engaging in the time-honored tradition of drawing characters in your own clothes - workout edition :] running and powerlifting are my go-to activities

What I drew Derek in is probably the only matchy workout clothes I own, I usually go for comfort lol

Was going through my likes to make a playlist of 'no rhyme or reason in genres' songs for stiles and I came across this and I will not listen to any other contenders, this is the sterek song (from stiles' side of things) for me forever - under the cut.

Derek vetos it for first dance at their wedding but they dance to it later in the evening back home

It's so stiles 'staring/not staring respectfully' stilinski it HURTS

Was inspired by Puzzle pieces by @isthatbloodonhisshirt to draw a snowy landscape!

The Hales own and operate a ski resort, the Beacon Hills teens all go on a vacation there but since Stiles has a torn ACL he ends up spending more time with a certain grumpy employee while his friends go on the slopes ;)

Another huge recommendation - I'm a sucker for domestic scenes, 'you're intruiging in a way I can't put my finger on', and who doesn't love a lil' 'sharing body heat to stave off hypothermia'. The way this author writes dialogue and describes body language especially makes all their works a treat to read!

(Also - I have more free time on my hands than expected the next while which i intend to fill out with working out and drawing, so feel free to shoot me a request (: and thank you for all the love on my art so far!)

So freaking cool and amazing and stupendous and all those synonyms. This is just crazy cool. I am in awe and speechless. The time and effort put into this is inspiring and the way it came out is simply the greatest thing ever. I would buy this. Everyone who worked on this is amazing. I loved learning about some of my favorite authors and artist and loved learning about some new authors. Thank yall for this. Truly amazing work, I can’t tell you enough. It doesn’t matter if you’re not in the fandom, check it out!

our love is as boundless as the sea itself

Summary:

Derek tried not to stare, but Stiles was even more attractive up close—with lips that he absolutely shouldn’t want to kiss, considering they were strangers. He had to mentally shake the thoughts away because this wasn’t like him. He cleared his throat and nodded toward the trucks. “So, do you have experience with turtle rescue? We’re always looking for more volunteers.” “Yeah, yeah. I used to help sometimes with my mom here when I was a kid, but I’ve been volunteering in New York for the past seven years.” Stiles rested his hands on his hips and glanced around the beach before his eyes returned to Derek. “I’ve read one of your pamphlets though.” Stiles’ eyes trailed down and then up Derek’s body. “How many do you think are out here?” Was he…? Derek paused, his thoughts momentarily scattered by Stiles’ blatant once-over. Usually, he didn’t care for attention like that, but Stiles’ gaze was oddly flattering. It was different somehow. Refreshing. “We’re estimating hundreds,” he finally responded. “But we won’t have a clear idea until we’ve scoured the entire area. It’s going to be a long day. Think you’re up for it?” Derek hoped he was. ...or the one where a chance encounter led to more.
