i feel like 'who talks like that' mentality has harmed unique dialogue in books ngl?? like we need to let our characters have their own way of talking, let them be a little melodramatic. the written word often requires flowery speech and sharing sentiments in a way real people don't because we cannot convey the micro expressions, the atmosphere, the little visual cues—all that modern media allows. you have to be willing to be a little cringe if you want your characters to stand out and feel earnest and real
#except c*lleen h**ver she needs to put down the pen entirely and maybe make them say a little less incredulous things#writing process#writing problems#writing prompt#writing progress#on writing#writing tools#writing advice#writeblr#creative writing#writers on tumblr#books#how to write#how to write fanfic#this is somewhat brought on by me trying to read more contemporary romance and wanting#to die every other sentence bc i could open wattpad and see the same exact dialogue exchanges over and over#and its jolting when i go back and forth between older books and newer ones lmao#i just miss the norm being a bit more flowery and sincere#real conversations that feel like they have purpose beyond filling the page until the next action paragraph or sex scene

New sketchbook post ⭐️⚔️
Ok maybe making this three months late but huzzah


My old skecthbook comparison side by side
Finished it just under a year, and now I will be humbly working in my 7th sketchbook
Now I’ve only had this sketchbook for approximately 2 1/2 months and I’ve completed 33 pages


Big chunk be released out into the wild
#I should add more stuff into my sketchbook ❤️#honestly I really loved my last sketchbook so I’m hoping I’ll feel proud of this one as well#it’s not as chunky as I would like but I still have quite a bit to go#unlike my previous sketchbooks I’ve been trying to get at minimum 10 pages per month#and that’s been going quite well!! though even without that system I still complete them within a year#though this is supposed to help so I don’t have like 40 pages and one month#mayhaps soon I’ll post some of my favorite stuff so far from this sketchbook#I might to post sooner about this because I really do like my sketchbooks even though I consistently only do digital pieces#I love with my newer sketchbook you can see that the cover fell in a little and now it’s flat#I don’t purposely make it obnoxious chunky I just have a blast adding in fun textures to pages or fun memories or things I’ve collected#EVERYONE SHOULD CREATE CHUNKY SKETCHBOOKS#artists on tumblr#2025 art#sketchbook 📕

It's kinda funny looking back on old screenshots and edits I made 3-5 years ago because in a way they have changed a LOT yet at the same time also not all although the fact that my old computer could barely handle having FFXIV installed is kinda evident in hindsight lol
#ive played for 11 years now but its only as of july last year that i actually have a computer i can go nuts on#with editing and good graphics etc which is probably why ive felt such a stark jump in my abilities#like its MUCH easier to edit by hand when your pc doesnt freeze up and making the screen black out anytime you draw a stroke too long LOL#its kinda funny looking back though because i still rely on things i learned way before gpose was added to the game#to the point where i often forget there are new fancy tools i can use to help the process#and thats despite having used the crimetools for way longer than i havent at this point#same with gpose..... god. that shit was added january 2017 i think. so thats 3 years of learning when to pause at the right time#and using walls to angle the camera and to try and time weather and multiple tries in case skill effects looked off etc etc#honestly since i cant do much photography these days whether that be of people or of bjds gpose is like a balm to my soul#anyway im rambling LMFAO just a lot of nostalgia when looking back. ill have to hunt down some REALLY old screens at some point#just to compare with my newer ones!!! kind of insane to think about this as a skill one can improve on#especially now that suddenly its been like a decade almost of consistently doing it and yet i never stopped to truly think about it#as anything other than a thing you just do???? idk. i have a disconnect to myself and art as a concept i guess LMAO#art is what OTHER people do in my brain. *I* just fuck around to try things out for fun#anyway....#silvi talks

scrolling through the palworld tag and it's amazing how many people are still calling it a scummy cash grab fueled by AI
first of all the AI thing was a baseless rumor, easily debunked by the fact that the first trailer for the game (which included the already-finalized designs of most of the pals available at launch) came out before generative AI was really a thing
and secondly like. a "scummy cash grab". that's a weird thing to say about an indie team that's putting out frankly impressive amounts of content for HALF the price of a pokemon game, and without charging me a monthly subscription to connect with others online
#and frankly I just Don't Care if some of the creature designs are blatant pokemon ripoffs#originality is overrated#what's more important is that the game is fun#and that it runs properly!#i've been playing palworld for quite a while now on sub-optimal hardware#and just last night it unexpectedly crashed for the first (and so far only) time#do you know how many times pokemon scarlet has crashed on me?#more than that#the first couple days of trying to play it I had to re-download the entire thing#which took hours each time cuz it had only been out for like a day so EVERYONE was downloading it from the eshop#also they just added a new bunch of pals for the third time#it's not as many creatures as we normally expect from a new generation of pokemon but still#and off the top of my head#none of the newer pals look like blatant copies of a particular pokemon#someone's probably gonna call me out and mention a newer one that's egregiously pokemon-like#but all in all it seems like they're aiming for more original creature designs than what they had at launch#which is nice. but again#i really don't care that direhowl is basically lycanroc#or that cremis is basically eevee#dare i say cremis is cuter than eevee. they improved it

Finally had a chance to finish detailing the frames for these two @sanctus-ingenium prints I got a while ago!! (breakdown of the process under cut)
The original frames were just a flat, plain black and white. So the first step was spray painting them neutral gray primer, then with a black, faux "hammered" paint. Once that was dry, it was doing the subtle, gray fillegree/detailing on the front and sides with acrylic paint (freehanding it initially for the Pantera-themed frame, then getting smart about it and making stencils for Leun's (it went much faster)). Next was cutting out the cardstock, coloring them with alcohol markers, and detailing with microns and white ink. Trying to mimic the headpieces of each Holy Beast for the tops of the frames with some reference to their element in the side bits. Flowing acid for Leun and a smoke for Pantera's flames (which I think could have been pushed a litle more and I may redo one day). Each part is typically a double layer of cardstock for a smidge of depth, but Leun's headpiece ended up being three. Then it was just using double sided tape to attach big pieces, and gluing all the smaller, fiddly-bits. Overall, I like how they turned out. Still might redo Pantera's to up the color's contrast to better match Leun's.
#I originally finished Pantera's a couple months ago but kept getting distracted when trying to start Leun's#The only thing that's keeping me from redoing Pantera's (besides time)#is that it almost feels fitting for the shinier newer Holy Beast to have the better designed more complex frame lol#anyway go check out Sanctus-Ingenium's stuff it's all very good!!!#obviously I am partial to the Mez setting (esp as a Zoids lover) (which has three chapters available for it if you're interested...)

please can we have more jimmy and impulse.
collabs, streams, heck even a life series team
i just really really want to call them jimpulse
#fdgnjmg#please#i need the punnage in my life#i also think.. jimmys quite similar to skizz?#(so they'd probably get along sorry forgot to finish that thought)#but at the same time#his humour is different#so when hes with people who hes newer to it seems almost like he's..#i dont want to say trying too hard but his humour sometimes doesn't have a place with them? or doesn't hit as well? or something?#and impulse can be like that too sometimes?#cause hes always trying to get better at improv-ing interactions#and hes always changing stuff to improve be it tech or editing#so i think...#idk they both put a lot of effort in and sometimes depending on what group they're in it isn't fully appreciated?#that got a little bit analyzy#tldr: i like them and think they need to work together more often#jimmy solidarity#impulsesv#jimpulse#<leaving it right there#its a good pun#guess the build#build and seek#life series#pixls things

#starfire#koriand'r#kory anders#dc comics#justice league#art#digital#fanart#comics#regular#sketch#final#lines#colour#i THINK i'm finally happy with how i do her skin!!!! everyone cheer!!!!#and i'm very happy with some aspects of her body (i used a photo of paolla oliveira as a base) but she might be looking too short#hard to say with her just floating on the void. might just be that i know paolla's real height#her face i'm still experimenting with. and the hair i was happy with at first but now i'm thinking it looks like a wig at the very top#(speaking of the hair: i know it doesn't make sense to be glowing like that with her just standing there but shhhh)#also btw this drawing is actually from 2 years ago ajskdnf i never posted it before bc i wasn't happy with the skin#but then recently i tried it again but with a slightly different brush and it looks sooooo much better so i'm posting now yay#i already have a newer kory on the way though 😈 among other things#oh and i'm trying out new watermarks. if you were wondering.#& btw if you were following me on cara (no one is. i haven't shared the link anywhere.) you could've already seen this almost a week ago 😏

I had closed my shop in anticipation of the Canada post strike but they seem to be shipping still, so I’ve re-opened it lmao
while sorting through my shop supplies I’ve gathered all of the left over fabric patches from last summer and have listed them for what is about 40-50% off I believe? There’s small ones for 8$cad and large ones for 16$cad ^^ I would just like to clear some stuff out. I’ve also discounted the two chokers up i have up for the last time, after this I will likely remove them from the shop and keep for my personal wardrobe lmao. But yeah lots of discounts! The fabric patches can be sent via letter mail as well, meaning shipping is 4-6$cad depending!


Sorry for the incredibly messy post. Here’s a link to my shop 🌷
#Idk maybe whatever patches don’t sell I’ll stick lace on and whatnot and turn into things to sell?#I would like to make patches for my newer illustrations. But idk if anyone would be interested? Let me know ^^#Still trying very hard. I did make a patron like a few people have encouraged me to (you’re all so sweet) still trying to figure out#How it works lol. It’s going to be free and all that with some optional tiers with things I know I can actually fulfill#Things are so difficult still. I hope you are all doing well.#I’m sorry for always being so late with messages and I have some outstanding ones still. Truly trying my best out here lol#As we all are !

did my first ever used car browsing online and there's a car that's like really good on basically every aspect but the color is fucking NASTY. but ive been evolving a bit around it. and so now im like thinking "okay the bit's funny now but would it be funny in like seven years" kinda stuff
#like imagining my friends laughing (with me) at my car shouldn't factor into the buying process but it's sinking in anyway#we live in an area with really high auto crime rates right#so it being ugly and super visible would actually help with total theft at least. not sure about breaking my windows though#like i would be less likely to get hit at night bc of visibility but it's so nasty and indiscreet#what if i go on a date and they see the nightmare car and are like yk what nevermind#i'm gonna have to make eye contact with my coworkers after parking that there every day#and im gonna try to use it for as long as possible bc that's the goal anyway and also bc i know that shit is NOT reselling for ANYTHING#but its stats are so good i'd feel bad calling it a beater car...#anyway the most interesting choices are that and a really cute car with similarly good stats but#it's low vis and more expensive (but it's newer and diesel etc so like.. idk?)#it's a beetle... i'd love to cause violence via punchbug!!! also a conversation piece and not one that i have to like#put an eyes.train warning for!! yk!!! black beetle was made for me but at what cost#there's also other cars that are normal but those two are so memorable and almost feel like opposites#even though their stats actually overlap a good amount (like their mpg is the same i think)#if i have this car for the next 8+ years (the goal. the dream) then i better like it right#i want it to be durable and safe and cute and cost efficient#technically they're both all those things except the ugly car is ugly. but it IS funny in a way the beetle isnt!!#which is kind of like being cute#im so relieved to have a couple of car guys in my family bc idk shit about cars tbh#and i really thought i wouldn't care about what my car looked like but unfortunately i kind of do is what im realizing#and also i thought i didn't really have a dream car but i kind of do.. and it's a black beetle...#they're so cute to me... and it's small so parallel parking will be easier... and it's not like i'd drive many people around....#but its storage is bad and it's a convertible and idc about that but im probably paying more bc of it since other ppl care#ugh idk...#anyway#i mean. it would be nice to like my car... esp if i plan on using it for so long.... and a car that i won't get sick of....#but the beetle might not work well for transporting junk if i get into sculpture like i keep threatening to#and i feel like it might do badly in a wreck bc it's so tiny#ah idk...#update gonna have to say no to the beetle apparently that year's extra unreliable and they're already not the best cars

wish i had a consistent character to show for this, but since i don't i just used icons :0]
blank template for those that want it under the cut

#different urls at the time of posting each of these too. from uglyramen to vhsanimal to girlboyburger#slowly my lines get thinner and thinner...#this was rlly cool to put together actually. i ended up digging up like#2016 and before art too#like 2015 is when i became a furry#its rlly evident that i used to just mimic the art styles of furry artists with styles i like#like straight up i found pieces tht i traced (didnt post) from like. okamiwolven and ashketchumsays (i think they go by luxebites now?)#waves my hand#its neat. idk. ive stumbled across pieces in the wild of young slash newer artists clearly referencing or tracing my art#i never thought id be the artist that ppl would learn through like that#im not encouraging creditless tracing btw. but. idk. its hard to articulate the kinds of feelings i get from seeing the cycle#of imitating/tracing to developing your own style but w my stuff#i think it makes me feel nice#its cool that some ppl find my art inspiration or aspirational in that way#this isnt like a weird humblebrag or anything btw its just cool#its also RLLY neat to see the things i was clearly trying to do come through stronger over the years#the lines on the coat of otto in the first icon was my attempt at including crosshatching esque texture#and now i do that For Real with cow's hair and more recently with shadowing#shrugs#ive rambled for too long now. hello tag reader. i hope u have a good night#my art#art style timeline

Since you’re officially the president of Tim opinions, what’s your thoughts on Tim leaving young justice and joining another team?
First of all, Tim is the Team Up Guy and he can have All The Teams. Restrictions are for people with boundaries, and Tim barely knows what those are.
Secondly, the Core 4 of Young Justice, whether or not they are currently called that, or "officially" working together, are Eternal. They are fucking Ride-or-Die. You cannot convince me that it matters if they are "officially" teamed together, if they needed each other? There. One heartbeat.
The only sense that it matters is that DC won't let me read about it.
#Tim Drake#Young Justice#ask#anon#rip Peter David#when they moved them to Teen Titans and got another writer it wasn't the same#newer YJ series started off decent and then went downhill like a gradual death#pretty art tho#the Drake thing was stupid#hate that it was played off like he was joke-forced to go back to Robin when Drake was literally Bart's suggestion to begin with#was not kidding in my Agenda post when I said it was like my 2-week relationship that my friends convinced me to get into#hate when people try to shoehorn shit in that doesn't make sense#oh and their Dark Crisis series I liked bits of but I think at times treaded to closely to making in fun of its own fanbase#oddly enough I think the best written character there was Bart#I keep editing in tags lmao

[Image description: A traditional drawing of Katrina from the film Vamp. It is boldly coloured with oil pastels, and is a close-up of her face, stretched out to bare her fangs. Both her mouth and her eyes are wide open, although one of her eyes is obscured in a dark shadow. She is deeply shadowed, although the contours of her face are lit up from below in a bright and unnatural neon green, which also makes her visible eye look uncanny. There is a pink rim light around the top of her head, and deeper reds behind her. The oil pastels create a grainy texture that is offset by the rigidity of the colour blocking of the different tones of her face.]
#katrina vamp#vamp 1986#vamp#katrina vamp fanart#vamp 1986 fanart#vamp fanart#traditional art#so basically i havent posted in nearly a year now due to mental failings (i say ambiguously cos its hard to sum up)#which is to say its more of a persistent but underlying mood than something catastrophic and that so dw too much#anyway#this whole time i have been really sad that i havent been posting art and it would make me happy to do that again#so here i am#i think i will try inktober this year just to get back into things but like give myself 2 days ahead this time#if it is hard i will just finish it in my own time lol#but this is a pretty old piece as i have a backlogue of older and newer ones that im gonna post#about 2 b4 inktober and i will resume the rest after#anyway vamp is great and grace jones is amazing in it and u should all watch it 💛💛#pinnacle of 80s red green lighting (my fave type of lighting)#also for reference i scanned this a week or so after i stopped posting lol
