Don't worry, they're into that.

(Want to know if this ancient sea god of destruction gets more belly paps? Or perhaps...a kiss? Find out in Tiger Tiger!)

#tiger tiger #ludovica bonnaire #luck #I feel a strong need to loudly resume my Tiger's propaganda to remind people that the comic is BACK.#It technically never left but it's here and it's still a deeply queer and delightful story set on the high seas.#There has been a lot going on behind the scenes for the creator and if you love art and comics - please consider supporting this one.#Petra works so hard to create amazing comics! And the community is so wonderful!#Join us! Join us on the high seas!#I admit to having taking a hiatus from reading for a while...I am going to make up for it as much as I can.#Sausage is so delightfully *shaped*...I too would doll them up like Ludo did.#This comic has been in my wips for ages - I still feel like I couldn't pull off what I wanted but done is better than nothing at all.#I want to yell about them so badly but I'm simply not equipped to draw the cool ancient god stuff. I'm trying....I will learn...#They are both the hot girlfriend letting the other do mad science on the other. No other way to describe it.

bit of a silly question here but have you ever gotten afraid to draw in a journal like the one you recently shared? like the idea of using the pages "incorrectly" or "wasting" them (or running out right before you get inspiration that might have been "better" than what you'd jotted down)? your art is INCREDIBLE and I know the best way to improve is to do it, all the time, but I struggle getting started for those sorts of fears, and I want to know if you have tips for overcoming that ^^

I don't think it's a silly question, in fact I think it's one of the Ultimate Art Questions haha

Yes I 100% struggled with that in the past; i'm happy to try my best, sharing some personal tips in journaling, specifically! :D

TECHNICAL SIDE:

>> Small simple sketchbook = less intimidating to fill the pages. (Also, easy to carry around)

5x7in Moleskin, and a pilot pen

>> My journal ISN'T a place to prove that I can make pretty pictures. I have separate sketchbooks for that. I use journals to jot down ideas and notes of things I like. (yes i shared a few pages that happened to look nice, but there were 100+ other pages after all d: )

Spontaneous observation is messy and imprecise. But not in a bad way.

Rather than seeing the messiness as "bad/unworthy imperfection," try to see it as a miraculous insight to how you, a unique human being with your unique thoughts and art experience, sees the things you like

My journal process (in general): doodle a pretty cake I ate, a funny bird I saw, some weird dialogue I overheard, stickers, stamps, a character in a book that I want to draw as a dragon,......... scatter them all over the page, then look at the random blocks of empty paper remaining. Fill those up next with another lil quote, or words about the week, or some pretty vines/flowers :) etc. It's like making a collage.

Draw what you actually LIKE + what actually sounds FUN to draw. u can always take photos/save pics of other stuff if it's overwhelming.

>> Find your comfort tools. I love ink. how it looks, feels, etc; I hardly ever use pencil. A sketch that I need to ink over is usually too much work for my journal. I'm just trying to get down ideas before I get bored or get inspired by another thing LOL

[But yeah: pencils can be the perfect tool for someone else. Regular pencils, colored pencils, watercolor pencils... play around with a bunch of basic tools to find your fav.]

EMOTIONAL SIDE:

I highly recommend Lynda Barry's book "Making Comics." She has some lovely, and deeply empathetic things to say about overcoming fear of making "bad" art.

My journal scribblings/therapeutic studies --- someone with 10x the skill could do it better, sure, but they probs wouldn't focus on the same details, or be interested in the same monsters, or be thinking the same thoughts as me.

They won't have the same things to say about their day, won't see the same spindly tree growing from a crumbling brick wall on their walk. etc!

Also! imo this POV isn't an excuse to feel like I don't need to improve my technical skill, but it keeps me happy, fulfilled, and motivated as I'm on that road of improvement. AND it makes me appreciate others' incredible art as their own reflection of the things they love/their own experiences, rather than view it competitively/jealously.

"Drawing is so much more than Good or Bad. It is a language from another part of you." - Lynda Barry

#random rambling #long post #omfg SORRY IT'S SO LONG #but im passionate abt this tbh #i'm very familiar with how feels to be afraid of making bad art - exacerbated in this age of social media #idk i hope i didn't just talk in circles and answer nothing #it really is such a complicated thing #i hope ppl can make art bc it's human.... not bc the only “worthy” art is “good” art #i could write like 20 more pgs about this but i HAVE TO STOP MYSELF #ok #im done #thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

In case you haven't heard yet, Colossal, the biotech company that earlier this year showed off their "woolly mouse," has announced that they de-extincted "dire wolves." I put this in quotes, because just like with the mice, they didn't truly bring them back (nothing can actually do that, yet) or even really make them.

What they actually did was kind of neat; they copied genes sequenced from dire wolf DNA and inserted them into the grey wolf genome (replacing grey wolf DNA, as they said gray wolves shared a significant percentage of their genome (which isn't saying a TON considering how much the human and chimp genome have in common without being nearly the same animals, but it's better than taking, say, a turtle's genome or something else super unrelated), to create a wolf with genes that dire wolves had.

And while that's not really the same thing as building a dire wolf completely from scratch, so to speak, and it's not really "cloning" them either, it's still pretty cool science, and just like with the woolly mouse, the work (ie, altering/editing multiple genes at once from sequenced DNA of deceased individuals) COULD apply to conservation of actual species (for example, having the ability to widen the genome of remaining breeding individuals of an endangered species, with DNA from deceased individuals). I'm not sure if it IS applying to other species right now (at least not through this company, despite their stated claims to want to), but it is one of their stated goals and it would work.

Also, they're pretty cute

As they were born in October 2024, they now have their own 2,000 acre reserve where Colossal is monitoring them closely. There are two males and one female, but as they've stated they do not have plans to breed them, I'm not sure where the female is being kept in relation to the males, but I suspect she's the solo-wolf pictured, vs the pics of the pair.

Anyway, that's all happening.

#news #dire wolves #science!#technology #wolves #I'm not 100% how I feel about them actually making live animals like this #but since it's already been done and there's nothing I'll ever say that will affect it #it's at least interesting to see the result and be aware it's happening #I really wish they'd focus on more imminently threatened species but also....#I'm glad they're doing experimentation with populations of animals that they can't fuck up and make worse #they used dog surrogates #and gray wolves are listed as a least concern species #whereas if you fuck up with liiiike red wolves or spix's macaws or something #you could fuck the species entirely very quickly #if they fuck up making dire wolves well... they've already been extinct 10k+ years #it's not like extincting them again will cause irreversible ecological problems #anyway genetics news for your viewing

I find the fact that the confrontation at the end of UTRH is often summarized as Jason asking Bruce to kill the Joker for him fascinating.

Because that's not what happened.

Jason holds a gun up to Joker's head, gives Bruce another, and tells him that if Bruce doesn't do something (shoot Jason), he will kill Joker.

Jason doesn't give the gun to Bruce so that he would shoot Joker. He isn't expecting Bruce to pull the trigger on the clown. He's asking Bruce to do nothing. To be inactive. Because that will still be a choice, and despite having done nothing, everybody clearly agrees that Bruce would still, at least in part, be responsible for Joker's death.

...And to me, this moment is a kind of- microcosm, of the rest of Jason's point. Because after being captured and carted off to Arkham, the villain will escape again, and will kill more people. The only way to truly prevent that from happening would be to kill them; Bruce refuses to do so, and I respect his right to choose such a thing for himself, but it is still a choice, and if we agree that Bruce's inaction during the confrontation would leave him at least partly responsible for the Joker's death, then we must also agree that his inaction in permanently preventing the Rogues from killing more people means he is also, partly, responsible for all of those deaths.

#my dc posting #batman #dc #bruce wayne #jason todd #joker #uhh is this like analysis or meta #anyway. to me this is the message that scene sends #if we say bruce doing nothing would mean he assisted in the murder of joker then bruce doing nothing about the villains means he is also #responsible for those deaths #ANYWAY yes b4 you come at me;;#bruce's belief in rehabilitation and that everyone can get better is central to his character #and i love it and no i dont actually think he should kill the rogues or whatever #but the question there is. Are you fine with the future victims your decisions will cause?#Are their lives worth the slim chance any of these people will get better?#batman says yes theyre worth it. red hood says no theyre not.#thats the fundamental moral difference there #its why jason challenges the batman status quo #which is why he cant be harnessed well after his initial return bc comics can never truly escape that status quo #anyway i sure am having some thoughts for someone not that smart so if you disagree please tell me!!! just be civil or ill just block you <#...anyway this is another thing BTAS succeeds in bc i always feel like yes these villains do deserve yet another chance #despite what theyve done. bruce's belief in them doesnt feel stupid and naive #its abt what you yourself can live with. bruce can live w the deaths of the ppl the criminals he doesnt get rid of kill #and jason can live with killing those criminals and preventing further victims

so uhhhhhhhh. not to be cryptic and bitchy on main but congratulations to everyone in my messages for like 5 months on being right i guess

#ramble #ughhhhhhhhhhhh ok so #i will delete this later bc idk if this person has tumblr and i genuinely mean no ill will i just need an outside opinion #i vented about it on my close friends story already but i need like. a neutral party #i won't say their name but if you're on other socials you probably know who it is #basically for a while i've been getting messages saying 'this person has hacked your art style' or 'is REDACTED your alt account'#and in the beginning there were like. similarities? but nothing i could really claim and also i don't want to accuse someone of theft #like i don't own any stylistic choices or anything. i've used things from other artists i like. honestly it's kind of flattering #and we are actually really friendly in DMs now and we even joke about it. we message eachother any time we get a comment about it #i made a joke literally 2 weeks ago about how we're two different people i swear #but after adding some Very specific things to my art (like the paper texture/hatching/shiny lighting). they also added them #and i gave them the benefit of the doubt bc i don't like to believe anyone has bad intent with stuff like that. and i've done the same obvs #but recently they dropped some tav lore and it was. basically a panel for panel copy of one of my cyra comics down to the HAND PLACEMENT #and obviously i don't own the Bitch Mother trope or anything but it's just. mmmmm it makes me feel weird #idk it just feels like it's gone a bit far now and i'm not sure what to do about it #like you would think after we became moots they would get scared and stop but i think i was too openly trusting and they just kept going #recently someone on THEIR PATREON thought they were me and they weren't even one of mine (which by itself is funny but. y'know)#i don't want to call anyone out or upset anyone bc it only causes more problems but like. i Know. and idk if they should know that i know #maybe i'm just stupid idk i really trusted that it wasn't happening but it is and i don't know how to feel #hONESTLY I'M JUST MAD THAT I CAN'T DO ANY MORE CYRA LORE NOW BC PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ACCUSE **ME**#also PLEASE do not witch hunt this person i want to deal with this as quietly as possible #i really felt like i was in the twilight zone or just being paranoid so i had to ask

("Always. Continuously. With increasing apprehension, and decreasing hope. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this." -- paraphrased from The Beatrice Letters, Lemony Snicket)

#svsss #bingqiu #luo binghe #shen qingqiu #lbh #sqq #i've been working through the series of unfortunate events and somehow that series has paired really nicely with svsss #the themes of cycling violence and what's justified and what isn't and what can possibly be done differently #and how trying to bring love and honour into the midst of it really changes nothing but also changes everything #it's just *chef's kiss*#i don't know how i can quite do my thoughts justice but i've spent the past few weeks quietly going between the two series (and mdzs and tg #as well if we're being honest they all hit similar questions and themes) and just reveling in the pain and ambiguity of it #everything is interconnected and it means you can never know what trauma and pain and necessity has shaped a person #each story goes too far back to ever ever EVER possibly see the full extent of it #at that level even communication itself is nearly impossible.#and because of that it's almost impossible to change anything. beat yourself apart and the outcome is the same #and yet ATTEMPTING to change things ATTEMPTING to do the kind thing the honourable thing is absolutely critical #because while you can change nothing you also have the capacity to change EVERYTHING #aaaaaaah i don't even know what i'm saying #but i read the beatrice letters today and the love letter just. killed me.#(obviously i cherrypicked some lines because it's three pages long but those ones felt right)#''i love you like a corpse loves a vulture's beak'' i just. can't get over that line.#to be completely changed. altered. destroyed. redeemed. purified. desecrated. reduced to nothing yet entirely necessary for another's life.#what a FUCKING line #anyway i was either going to blow up from thinking about it or else i had to exorcise it via art from an entirely different series #i've already done svsss and discworld why not throw a series of unfortunate events into the mix #i'll be honest folks i did not expect svsss to be the mxtx series that would fuck me up the most about the main ship #bingqiu is something else. i don't even know how to begin to approach my feelings on it. impossibility and necessity all at once #bizarre #my art

Everything functions perfectly fine without you.

#undertale #deltarune #this was really experimental #i wanted to tell a bit of a story in my brain without like. actually telling it #but basically this picture is supposed to invoke the same feeling i have when playing deltarune #where i notice the lack of chara..and hwo there ISNT a gaping hole left by them #their absense doesnt effect this world at all #the drawing is meant to be a drawing done by kris i think that much is obvious #with their family. and there Isnt a big empty space where another person could go #chara really does have a world where they dont exist #and it doesnt matter.#theyre irrelevent. unknown to their family. even the fandom has mostly moved on from them #they ARENT haunting the narrative this time therye just. nothing. you dont see their putrid absense. theres nothing.#its almost so beautiful it may be intentional. everyone lumped goner kid in with the gaster followers #and it almost makes sense. but its been so clear to me the whole time that they Arent talking about gaster and it always frustrated me when #they were pushed in with them bc soething was just Off about it. bc gaster Doesnt live in a world where he doesnt exist. hes forgotten #but he did exists. the CORE exists. and he Pretty clearly exists in DR too #but chara doesnt. they are honestly the most important character in one game and then...nothing. in the next. and their family is unaffecte #there is simply a different human who gets name brand chocolates and dull knives for pie #also mild implied spoilers but the easter egg wehre you can give GK an umbrella and they note that its not raining but it makes them feel #better. listen. the idea chara lives within one world but not another and it doesnt matter. the Rain Thing in chapter four.#LISTEN TO ME LISTENNNNN TO ME #chicken scribbles
