do you paint traditionally? i think your art style would look beautiful in oils. theres some pieces of yours i look at and think: one day i will see this artist in a museum! not that that wouldnt happen with your digital art too.

First of all this is incredibly sweet and made my put my hands on my face. Thank you!

And I do paint traditionally! I haven't for a few months now that I've moved away and I no longer have the time nor the space to (I'm not studying art :P) but I've posted some of my traditional work :]

Here are more that I've never posted, though

#I've barely played with oil paint mostly because it scares me 😭 It's messy and flammable and I need ventilation #asks #mine #The last piece (board game) is 100% in oils and it's also one of my least favorite things I made for my AP portfolio (what all of these #pieces were for) but it was my first time using oils at all so *shrug*#Also: These are all self portraits

“My lords, I bring you news—news of the existence of mankind!”

gwynplaine in the house of lords! please don't tag as body horror or anything similar [id in alt text]

#l'homme qui rit #the man who laughs #victor hugo #gwynplaine #artwork #i have been putting off attempting to draw the house of lords scene for ages because rochegrosse did it so perfectly already (the drawing #from which my icon is taken) but i decided that if i went with a dramatically different composition i might be less intimidated #which worked i think! i mean the composition isn't as different as i initially intended but i didn't feel like i was attempting a very #inferior replication of the rochegrosse illustration whilst i was drawing it at least #please appreciate that i drew every line in the background by hand. sometimes i take shortcuts but for whatever reason i did not this time #i have to confess that this is also pretty much a self-portrait given how heavily i referenced my own face. i havent posted a picture of #myself in ages but this is pretty much exactly what i look like these days (although my mouth is different. gwynplaine has no lips but i do #for those of you who havent read the book he manages to briefly suppress his smile in this scene which is why he looks different (and also #why i accidentally made him look exactly like me. i mean i usually reference my own face but it's not as obvious when he is wearing his #usual expression)#dont read into any of this too much prithee. thank you kindly #anyway :D i hope you are all doing well my friends i love you all very much

Don't you think I look pretty curled up on this bathroom floor?

#when I had the idea for this drawing it was about overcomig/living in spite of mental illness #mainly depression #However #while sketching I started to feel a weird nostalgia for all the nights I did spend on the bathroom floor utterly powerless #hopeless #This sinking pit of sadness in my stomach #that can't quite be described #that is always on the brink of consuming you #truly and fully #That drains the world of all it's color and drops you into a sea of uncertainty from which you can't quite escape #but that you also won't fully drown in #Endlessly suspended in a state of unbreathing but still alive #I haven't had a night like that in a while #If you do know that you are not alone and these nights too will pass.#I copied the text I wrote on instagram I hope that is okay #drawing perspective oof #illustration #art #self portrait #procreate #vent art #overcoming depression #the amazing devil lyrics #personal art

the pathologic Kin is largely fictionalized with a created language that takes from multiple sources to be its own, a cosmogony & spirituality that does not correlate to the faiths (mostly Tengrist & Buddhist) practiced by the peoples it takes inspirations from, has customs, mores and roles invented for the purposes of the game, and even just a style of dress that does not resemble any of these peoples', but it is fascinating looking into specifically to me the sigils and see where they come from... watch this:

P2 Layers glyphs take from the mongolian script:

while the in-game words for Blood, Bones and Nerves are mongolian directly, it is interesting to note that their glyphs do not have a phonetic affiliation to the words (ex. the "Yas" layer of Bones having for glyph the equivalent of the letter F, the "Medrel" layer of Nerves having a glyph the equivalent of the letter È,...)

the leatherworks on the Kayura models', with their uses of angles and extending lines, remind me of the Phags Pa Script (used for Tibetan, Mongolian, Chineses, Uyghur language, and others)

some of the sigils also look either in part or fully inspired by Phags Pa script letters...

some look closer to the mongolian or vagindra (buryat) script

looking at the Herb Brides & their concept art, we can see bodypainting that looks like vertical buryat or mongolian script (oh hi (crossed out: Mark) Phags Pa script):

shaped and reshaped...

#not sure how much. what's the word. bond? involvement? not experience. closeness? anyone in the team has with any of these cultures #but i recall learning lead writer is indigenous in some way & heavily self-inserts as artemy [like. That's His Face used for #the p1 burakh portrait] so i imagine There Is some knowledge; if not first-hand at least in some other way #& i'm not in the team so i don't know how much Whatever is put into Anything #[ + i've ranted about the treatment of the brides Enough. enough i have]#so i don't have any ground to stand on wrt how i would feel about how these cultures are handled to make the Kin somewhat-hodgepodge.#there is recognizing it is Obviously inspired by real-life cultures [with the words;the alphabet;i look at Kayura i know what i see]#& recognizing it Also is. obviously and greatly imagined. not that weird for you know. a story.#like there is No Turkic/Altaic/Mongolic culture that has a caste of all-women spiritual dancers who place a great importance on nudity #as a reflection of the perfect world and do nothing but dance to bring about the harvest. ykwim...#like neither the Mongols nor the Buryats nor the Tibetans dress the way the Kin does. that's cos the Kin is invented. but they're invented.#.. on wide fundations. ykwim......#Tengrism has a Sky Deity (Tengri) with an earth-goddess *daughter* whereas the kin worship an Earth-Goddess mother of everything #+ a huge bull. Buddhism has its own complete cosmogony & beliefs which from the little I know Vastly Differ from anything the Kin believes #like. yeah. story. but also. [holds myself back from renting about the Brides again] shhh...#neigh (blabbers)#pathologic #pathologic 2

Day by day Year by year Things get a little bit better If I'm brave enough to be myself And strong enough to figure out who that is

#illustration #digital art #digital illustration #digital painting #my art #art #sorta a self portrait maybe. I guess it's adjacent #but I wasn't referencing a pic of myself so it's more the idea of myself in my head maybe #but also not trying to be me but trying to represent parts of me #anyways #but yeah!#just all in all trying to draw sort of my ideas of growing and trying to be things and figure stuff out :)#ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Dream brother with your tears scattered round the world

Dont be like the one who made me so old

Dont be like the one who left behind his name

Cause they’re waiting for you like I waited for mine

And nobody ever came

#HE MAKES ME SO SAD #Anyway I did some research about smallpox for this and holy fuck I did not know it was like… the most terrifying looking thing????#like it looks so painful? save ur self the google — I promise its scary #additionally!!! Jean would realistically have issues with sight—I depicted these as Corneal Leukoma #I just….. its like he got the messier more ‘unattractive’ version of Kim’s easily aesthetized eyesight problems #(I am speaking from a Jean informed perspective to be clear #like Kim’s eyesight issues and how it makes Kim feel is also real and serious but like lets play dolls from a Jean perspective for now)#and im just thinking about how im sure Harry was Jean’s eye now and again and AHHHHHHH do u all see the cycles and patterns and circles?????#Also his in game portrait captures a sadness and longing in his eyes that I can only dream of touching #I tried very hard anyway #I cried several times drawing this bc I was listening to my Jean playlist #which is the saddest playlist I ever did make #oh wait fuck real tags:#disco elysium #jean vicquemare #jean heron vicquemare #my art #alexa play i bet on losing dogs by mitski

hello again fellow denizens of our beloved hellsite, once again i need assistance in picking my Next Book To Read (after i finish this nonfic and perhaps also HILL HOUSE). these are all somehow adjacent to the writing project i'm working on, so i might even read them in order of Victor to Loser (though i reserve the right to say nah).

please help me select my next read based on ZERO propaganda, only titles and cover vibes.

here are all their beautiful faces:

button-press away!!

#books #poll #what should i read next #the spider and her demons #sydney khoo #unexpected places to fall from unexpected places to land #malcolm devlin #archangels of funk #andrea hairston #self-portrait with nothing #aimee pokwatka #always coming home #ursula k. le guin #the writing project is:#in btw #ARCHANGELS was a new addition to the lineup and it might not be Quite It but #also: artistic community and community building in a hostile environment is a thing i need too #ALWAYS COMING HOME is the same like. community thing for me i think #oh this counts as propaganda huh #oops #anyway i am excited for all of them so no wrong answers here :D #and i do reserve the right to cut the TBR with novellas or manga as needed lmao (i have a couple other driscoll adjacent manga on accident)#(love that the cover options here are SWIRLING COLORS AND FACES vs White And Rainbow With Bird XD)#i may or may not have a Type as u can see

me: I kinda wanna commit to the bit and design myself as a full gnomesona as if I were a proper dnd gnome, with a little outfit and fun eccentric jewelry and my skills and interests put into the context of fantasy worldbuilding and

also me:

#the thing is that my thing with gnomes is not about garden gnomes at all but they do also coincidentally have Me Vibes #also this doodle style does not really evoke him particularly but this thought brought to you by seeing snufkin and going 'ideal self'#oh to be a little guy in the woods just kinda hanging out #anyway you know my gnomesona's a forest gnome you KNOW ch'girl's living in the ground under a big tree #self portrait #doodles #gnomes

front/back of a bookmark i made for my program's bookmark design competition

#top 3 get 25 bucks and i need all the money i can get in this expensiveass city tbh lol #if nothing else tho it hopefully(???) got me out of my art block funk #if you Really tried ig you could guesstimate what school this is for. but that'd be weird. don't be weird #my art #grad school #artists on tumblr #mlis #the theme i was going for was sorta like 'information getting passed down through different eras of technology' something like that #last person is a semi-self portrait of my 'working in the rare books archives vault' days. good times.#also my drawing tablet literally died when i was 80 percent done with this. most of the coloring was like me doing finger painting JESUS
