If I had a nickel for everytime my favorite character took the place of a child horror video game protagonist who had to hurt other characters in order to protect themselves making the Fandom already kinda iffy of their character, only for new content of that same franchise to release involving a new child protagonist that is friends with the original protagonist only for them to be "betrayed" by said original protagonist via falling to their demise thereby triggering the entire Fandom into full on hating on the original protagonist and portraying them as the literal spawn of Satan in majority of their fan content then I would have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

I'm not super big into the spooky month Fandom (anymore), but I used to be, and something that I've never seen anyone else talk about is the possibility of Skid being the antichrist and its actually driving me crazy.

We know for a fact that his dad was a part of, and potentially the leader of the cult, he's the only one who's unaffected by the eyes of the universe or the hypnosis in the little music video (not really a music video but idk what to call it, promo vid?) For the spooky month Vol 1 soundtrack when even Pump is, and no one else has made this connection??! (That or I'm just not looking in the right place)

I'm 100% convinced that Skid is the anti-christ and was conceived through a cult ritual and no one can tell me otherwise, Sr. Pelo please prove me right🙏

I just had the most uncomfortable work interaction today when a guy (a lot older btw, like he could've easily been my grandpa's age) came up to me and asked if I wanted to know the secret to loving a happy life, then proceeded to say that I had to get married to a handsome man in at least a year of dating (because apparently waiting more than year is a red flag to him??) and have 3 kids MINIMUM (yes, he specified minimum) to have a happy/successful life, then before he left he said that it shouldn't be difficult to achieve because "I was attractive", it was so awkward...

I told ya'll sonic art was coming soon (I will now disappear for 6 months, again)

Idk what it is about my apps updating but I can't stand it, I get so anxious, like I have auto updates turned off btw but it still happens sometimes, and sometimes I'm fine with it, I still hate it but as long as it's not a HUGE change I can accept getting used to it.

And then there's updates that change the whole layout, and I consider just straight up deleting the app... anyways my tumblr just auto-updated (thankfully only on my tablet, my phone still has the old ver) but like??? What is this?? Why does it bother me so much like I legit crash out when something gets a big change, like wtf is tumblr TV?? What's with the tumblr communities section?? I hate it get me out of here

I just recently watched sonic 3 btw, so expect some sonic art later

Part 5 of my JTTW designs, I realized the only other female characters I've drawn so far are PIF and Chang'e so I figured it's time for more gals

I was originally going to draw the Lady Bone Demon with more skeleton-like features but I didn't really like any of the versions I tried so I decided that making her look more human and innocent may be more fitting anyway (especially since this art is during JTTW), because in the novel she depicts herself as an innocent young mortal to deceive Tripitaka, and opted to give her some skeletal motifs in her clothes and hair decor rather than her physical body.

(Scorpion queens clothes were inspod by one of @/chiptrillino's beautiful Ty Lee designs!)

(Ignore the fact that my watermark still says 2024 in the first 3 pics)

Daily reminder to everyone that if your dog is dangerous and/or untrained and is known to be aggressive with other dogs or people, do not let them outside unleashed and do not leave them home alone if they have a history of getting out of the property while you're away!

Be responsible or don't own a dog.

I really wanted to get my 5th piece of JTTW/LMK redesigns out by Christmas but I think it'll have to wait guys, I'm so sorry.

I came down with the worst illness I think I've ever had and I feel like a dying Victorian child rn, I'll try to get it out as soon as I can but imma rest up for now, but know that it is coming soon

I hope this isn't too much of a bother, but could we possibly get a design breakdown of Princess Iron Fan? Like inspiration and references? I can't overstate how well the design works and how beautiful i think it is

Of course! And thank you so much, I'm glad you like my design :)

(Sorry this took a while to get to, by the way, things have been kinda crazy right now so I've been a bit busy)

When I was designing PIF i was mainly inspired by the Feitian/飞天, which are depicted as beautiful flying celestials in Buddhism, skilled in music and dance. The Feitian in art aren’t depicted wearing traditional hanfu, but rather outfits that consist of bandeaus, pants, and scarves that are influenced by Indian clothing (I'm not sure if it's noticeable at a first glance but my design of Iron Fan is actually wearing long pants, rather than a skirt like in the show)

I found these specific pieces on pinterest originally that introduced me to this style of clothing, and when I saw them I just knew I had to use them for my Princess Iron Fan design.

(These pieces were made by Qi Sheng Luo and Light Moon respectively which can be found on artstation.)

When I was looking for references I also made a point to look at portrayals of Iron Fan in different media iterations, including stage plays, movies/shows (both animated and live action), novel descriptions, etc. Eventually I found this depiction of Iron Fan from an opera performances of JTTW, "The Monkey King: Flaming Mountains" which was performed by the Sichuan Opera theater (I was unfortunately unable to find the name of the performer who plays Irom Fan specifically).

Her color palette (specifically the red-to-white ombre pants, bits of gold embroidery, and the tassels on her outfit) were inspired by this characters costume from the 1986 JTTW series. While I was drawing her I was under the impression that this was Princess Iron Fan as finding any information about this series and its characters/actors was surprisingly difficult, but upon looking further into the series (via wiki, which probably isn't the most reliable source) I found that this might actually be an entirely different character (though I can't find their name) which is a bit embarrassing 😔.

Her hair style and ornaments were all inspired by Princess Iron Fan's portrayal in the 2010 series who was portrayed by Liu Zi, with some obvious differences, such as her crown piece being the same design as in LMK.

Her cloud collar (or Yunjian/云肩) and the scarf around her arms (Pibo/披帛) are just a few small things I wanted to keep from her design in the show, though her Pibo is something she only had when she was still a part of the celestial realm/before she married DBK, I still wanted to include it.

I just bought a harmonica, how tf do you play this thing?

Sorry for the lack of art, y'all, my motivation is at an all time low

I think one of the worst things to experience in a Fandom is interpreting the main duo as platonic or even familial while the rest of the Fandom ships them. Wanna read a fanfic? Romance. Wanna look at fanart? Romance.

This is about a very specific movie and I can't fathom the thought of the main duo dating because the mc has amnesia so it feels too much like a hesitant gaurdian/older sister and curious younger brother who needs guidance.

[gh0st-t0wn3]

Forget my last post, I spent too much time on this design to waste on a Fandom that doesn't exist anymore (still love the movie though). 😔

This is now my new oc, he is my son, and I'm open to name suggestions because I can't for the life of me think of anything interesting

[gh0st-t0wn3]

I'm making a redesign for a fav childhood comfort character of mine but it's so unrecognizable, I'm considering whether or not I should just make him an oc.
