3, 9 and 21 ^^
3. Show us your oldest piece of art you have on hand.
Tumblr media
i think this is the oldest piece of digital art i still have immediately available LOL. drawn on my mom's computer in ms paint circa 2010. iconic really. i had just finished reading firestar's quest. i was a massive warrior cats kid
9. What is your least favourite piece that you have done?
this question is hard because i've made a LOT of art in my lifetime and i think it would be too easy to just pick something old asf because i was younger and less experienced. i can't narrow down one piece that sticks out in particular but i think in general i'd have to say any of my commissioned art from the past few years - i don't think it's bad in terms of art quality but it makes me extremely unhappy to look at because i was practically torturing myself through all that work despite rapidly losing passion in feral animal art and burning out on "character just stands there looking pretty on no background" type stuff. i still greatly appreciate my commission clients but yeah.
i feel like it would be really rude to pick out work that someone paid for of their character to answer with here but this is a warmup for commissions i did of my own character silverkit and while the art style is slightly different from my usual at the time, it still represents pretty well what i'm talking about

21. Do you believe there is such thing as “bad art?”
i think you can say that some art is stronger or more lacking in certain technical skills, but lacking in technical skill doesn't make art "bad". i'm a pretty strong proponent of no art is bad and all art has value. even the stuff you scribbled in crayon when you were 5 or the stick figures you draw as an adult while learning to make more detailed stuff or whatever else. all art is worth creating regardless of technical skill

Got about 16 hours left to decide if I'm gonna splurge for CSP ex ver. 2.0, and I wanted to do something quick and easy to see if I would indeed use the animation feature.
We'll see in a few hours I suppose. For now, I continue to work while thinking hard.

Sign i saw recently had a bunch of paint worn away with lichen in its place, however i unfortunately did not have my phone on me 😔😔
in an alternate universe where science funding is stable and abundant regardless of monetary gain we have already gotten to the complex root of which lichens enjoy signs but only the letters or only the sign and what about the letters or sign they prefer and this haunts me
#i can see it in my minds eye. signs in a row in the same roadside or field or something preferably near a large water source#signs are the same but with slightly different paint or colors#ideally two copies of each sign one facing the sunrise one not#leave them there for years#come back periodically and measure lichen enjoyment or preference#eventually take the signs down and measure the biomass on them and where and stuff#it could be so good. would take decades but also minimal effort to maintain since the lichens crave deterioration#maybe the signs say what the experiment is#(near a large water source or coastline since those lichens tend to be more fruiticose/obvious and have a higher biodiversity)#alternative experiment ive considered before. just going to the local DMV or whatever department of a place takes old signs down#and saying Give them to us. The old signs we want them#and looking for ones with lichens and where the replaced sign is#but a controlled study would be so cool#my hypotheses include:#-some lichens enjoy the letters because they enjoy darker colors that heat up marginally and that makes a difference in a microhabitat#-some lichens prefer different paints because the way they erode provides sticking points or sticky surfaces that accumulate symbionts#-some paints erode and exude some kind of nutrient and lichens love a good eroded nutrient#-some paints erode and exude some kind of marginal toxin that kills the symbionts before they can take hold#-some paints change ph values as they age (some species love a good ph on a surface)#control would be no paint or lettering. which might also eventually get some lichens tbh#a study in Chemi Calls if nothing else#lichens#asks

(ps. If anyone is confused. They're talking through ninpo which is essentially a type of mind meld for this. It's more shared emotions and vibes rather than actual words, which is why it's phrased that way.)
(Pps. idk if it will ever come up, but Mikey's ninpo feels like a bonfire. The smell of wood smoke and roasting marshmellows accompanied by a steady, swirling heat.)

You all rejoicing about Loki's return have a faith in marvel I do not have. I do not trust them to do anything but kill him in a 30 second scene so they are able to freely play with the multiverse again

headcanoning that all malfoys only have one heir, one child, and it will always be a boy, but once, out of sheer luck, possibly just before abraxas malfoy was born, there was a set of twin boys. of course only the eldest became the successor, and the other cannon fodder. the chain continued for both boys, now young men, only one son each. until the grandson of the second twin defected and in doing so broke the magic of the malfoys, birthing the first ever malfoy girl, now a lovegood. the rest was forgotten, read hidden, history.

something about Brian's second trigger making him bad at copying tinker powers because he will never be able to truly replicate the fear and abuse that was done to him despite naming himself after the literal sensation of fear

regardless of whether or not akutagawa regained his memories due to the homoerotic self sacrifice of his narrative foil, he still had to listen to a strange russian man gush about dazai like a school girl for at least half an hour

i say this with nothing but love in my heart but it's so fucking funny we use "noblespark" as the ship name just because spanish speakers refused to use the more obvious "megaprima". and i support it wholeheartedly because it does sound like you really really like your cousin and not in a good way lmao

We as a society do not talk enough about how Kaz Brekker, Dirtyhands himself, the Bastard of the Barrel, carved an entire underground tunnel from his club ... To his besties house
There is no explanation for this other than that he is king softy
Like just imagine how much money that would cost, and how much work. Like sure bro is rich as fuck but like be fr, there is no way he would do all that for crime and gang business, it's just not practical. Like take the surface roads it costs nothing and it's probably not that much slower
Like bro fr just wanted a secret short cut so he could drop in on his babes whenever he wants and never be seen by the masses
Got a reputation to uphold after all
Can't have the pigeons seeing Dirtyhands taking another trip to the Geldstraat to visit his favourite boys

evrart and leo lore i need it. first met in middle school, not long after leo and his mom immigrated, he had a temper and didn't integrate into the enviroment. the claires, lifelong revacholites, stood up for him though. forty?? years pass by. did they keep in touch or did leo end up working for the union again by coincidence. who's to know. the thing from middle school is still formative to leo though. probably Not to the claires. leo loves them, literally sings their praises. his wife on it too apparently because of the porridge thing. on the other end its more vague. they keep leo in the dark about the workings of the union, at least, supposedly because he's too chatty and trusting of others. harry (depending on how you play) and likely others before have looked at the whole thing derisively, leo is just a simpleton getting played by the union boss to be his shoeshiner. evrart has assured him though, he's irreplaceable. did he mean it? I Don't freaking knowww
