i only get out of bed because i know its what naruto would want me to do

[emerulynn]

i am trying to find a image of the outside of kakashi’s window to see what textures i should use for jōnin housing, and i am not finding it but i did find this. look. look

i have so much to say. firstly, everyone wears their shoes in kakashi’s apartment, kakashi wears his shoes in kakashi’s apartment. i think there is an absolutely and entirely unused shoe rack. there, that blue vertical cubby thing next to the door. it has at least seven slots and there’s not a single set of shoes in there!

there have probably NEVER been a set of shoes in there. no respect for Kakashi’s living space allowed.

secondly, if i am correct, the caligraphy on that wall just says shinobi. it’s like. this is really funny to me. imagine just having ur job title in caligraphy hung up on the wall. a little like having this hung up on ur wall

u feel me? did he pick that out himself. did it come with the apartment (jōnin standard housing…obsessed). what about that weird abstract art behind sasuke in the front area, the one that kinda reminds me of the inside of Jiraiya’s frog jutsu. did kakashi hang that up in his own room. did he see that and go “yeah, this is something I want to wake up and look at every morning that I’m back in Konoha”

also. skjghsdkgjhsdkgjhsdgkjhsdgkjshdgkshdgdsg. hello to mr ukki on the window sill. and hello to kakashi’s shuriken blanket. that’s so cute. what the hell is his interior design sense. it seems like.

if everything is put together. it seems like…well, as kate said, pinterest shinobi…

also sidenote he takes off his shoes even when hes just poking around his students homes w/ the hokage

so its Just his own apartment that gets this disrespect. when i told kate abt this they pointed out “well, that’s probably because kakashi has no ownership of his own space and feels transient always but he respects the space of others send tweet” which is so true, so true.

(it should be noted that in the manga his home is a lil more cluttered)

KakaIru is about a delinquent and a teacher's pet, but people always get who is who wrong.

hi!! i saw a post where u mentioned u go to wdka, im also applying for illustration and im super nervous. whats the worst thing about the school? or do you have any tips for the portfolio?

oh shit sorry I haven’t been checking my asks, but I think yesterday or Friday was the Open Day, idk if you could’ve gone bc that would also help but I hope my rlly late answers help as well 😭

Hmmm the worst thing about the school and I’m gonna be honest here is how it sometimes feels like some of the assignments aren’t helping me all that much?? Like wdka’s concept of illustration is broad, it’s less than just drawing and more of visual storytelling through any medium. So sometimes I find myself struggling with an assignment that doesn’t involve drawing and pushed way out of my comfort zone.

I think it gets better now that I’m in my second year tho because I know how to navigate things better and also learn how to put a bit more balance on personal work and assignments. You just have to get through the Practices and Second big assignment in first year Illustration tbh, that’s the point where most people dropped out 😭 The most useful thing in the school is the facilities, teachers (ask for suggestions or networking opportunities from teachers you think have the same career path/vision as you) and ofc your peers, sometimes classes. Also if you don’t feel like you align with illustration that much you can always switch majors after the first term without having to repeat the year.

Note that I might also be harsh about the academy bc I’m paying international fees which is like 10x the tuition EU students have to pay.

As for the portfolio, they love to see you explore and experiment with different mediums and methods of art-making, so include photography, clay, mixed media work if you have them. If you don’t, don’t worry because my portfolio barely has any range, that was their critique for me after receiving my portfolio too since I mostly drew digitally and only included some analog drawings and photos. but i got in heyy

Another thing is make your portfolio easy to navigate ofc, you don’t have to go over the top with the design, just write concise texts of your work and make it not look confusing. Number your works and number the pages.

That’s it I think they love versatility that’s the main takeaway. Good luck and hope this helped!!

After a hard day, there is nothing better than falling asleep in an embrace with a loved one🌸~

hellooo, i just wanted to ask what song was playing in the background for saiteru's "between my brains and your brawns-" it has been a month since the song got stuck in my head and i still can't find it.

p.s. i adore how you draw saiki and teruhashi they are *chef's kiss* perfection. thank you for the wonderful song recommendation

The song is “Sweet” by Cigarettes After Sex if I remember correctly :)!

Also thank you for appreciating my Saiteru haha <333
