You're allowed to reinvent even the things you love.

Likewise

If you already like something you don't need to change it. Even if it's flawed

I'm a big fan of your art, and I was wondering how you do composition? I've had trouble with it, and your big art pieces (especially with multiple people) always look so good!!

thank you! :D i mostly learned about composition in my art classes, though there are some self-taught things as well. here are some things i find most important:

which subject(s) is the focus? how will you make the viewer's eye go to that subject(s) first?

centering your subject is one way to accomplish this, like how Logan and Cassius are at the very center of The Trinity piece -- AND the shape of the cross directly points to both of them.

or you can bring your subject to the foreground, like how Cassius is in the foreground of the Fake Omega Au comic. Dirk and Teddy are placed to the left to leave room for their conversation bubbles.

how will you guide the viewer's eye around the piece?

every choice made with lines, shapes, angles, and even colors will help guide the viewer's eye naturally and make the composition more interesting.

in the Blue Dress AU piece (Logan's aesthetic board), Logan is the main subject, but the lines of his figure direct us to the photos. and since the board is in shadow, we get to keep the focus on Logan while also enticing the viewer's eye to see what's in the dark.

the Logan and Hunter piece has bright, distracting colors and things in the background that could make the composition feel cluttered...so we put Logan's foot outside of the bed frame to 'separate' the space a little.

instead of starting with Logan and Hunter, where the composition is most busy, our eye starts with the foot and follow the direction of Logan's legs up to the rest of the subjects.

how will you space your subjects out? do you want more space to create distance? less space to create proximity?

the wall helps create space between Dirk and Logan in the Reality Jumpers AU piece, but it's not the only thing. Dirk is placed higher on the left side and is smaller, so we interpret Dirk being farther away.

in the Killer Robot AU piece, Teddy is very close to Logan and gives off that 'looming' feel. Dirk is leaning over him as well, but we have a lot of space between Logan and Dirk's lower body to make the shapes more interesting and less merged together.

same goes for Logan's legs being spread out; Teddy's angles are boring, but the sharp, unique angles made by Dirk's spine/legs and Logan's legs make up for it.

i hope that helps a bit!

That one scene in Zootopia

"What if everyone around me are monster aliens and everything is fake and I am the only real person on this world and everyone I love is just--"

Watching Matrix someday (for the reason above)

A kid's cartoon named Tinga Tinga (it had forest animals doing things together and reacting popular kid's tales like the turle & the sky party one). For some reason it freaked me out even though I loved it. I always went to sleep after watching it with a bitter taste on my mouth and an unpleasing sensation of my stomach

As a kid were you afraid of things that you find silly you were afraid of now?

fandom etiquette reminders

gentle reminder that people do not have to like/ship the popular ships in a fandom. widely popularized ships do not equal canon ships and even if they were, people are allowed to have different pairings they prefer. if one fandom creator popularized things, it does not mean that every single other creator has to also do that thing.

please be respectful and considerate of the people making free content for your enjoyment as well - you never know whats going on on the other end of the screen to cause an author to not upload a new chapter or why the artist hasn't posted new art in three weeks. their boundaries are just as important as anyone else's and deserve to be respected as a basic human right.

if you're a minor, do not participate in 18+ spaces! this is for your safety as well as the safety of everyone else. if anyone over the age of 18 insists its okay for you to participate in nsfw topics with them, run. be careful with what you're posting online, too. you never know who has ill intent when interacting with you.

be also incredibly mindful that not everyone wants to participate in fandom discourse. proship/antiship discourse, ship wars, "what are your thoughts on [insert problem here]", - these are good and fun in their own respects, but can be incredibly distressing if brought up out of nowhere.

fandom is supposed to be for fun, and it isn't fun if its stressful and dangerous.

Teen boys are expected to be sexual, but God forbid they be sexual without romance.
