I came here for the silly haha doodles, but I've stayed for the absolutely blazing commentary in the tags. Your analysis of this story is so so so good! Thanks for all the work and thought you put into this!
I am just a silly little comics blog. I am not hiding anything in the tags, no way. Never.
#ask#digital art#I truly am grateful for the amount of people that not only read my journal-essay-thoughts on my comics#but also take the time to respond and/or write their own thoughts on the themes and scenes.#I really love taking apart stories and seeing how the threads weave together. Like flipping over an embroidered tapestry!#Some people thinks it ruins the illusion of what a story is - to me it *elevates* the experience to see the seams.#It's like knowing how they did the practical effects and stunts in a movie. It give you a deeper appreciation for the work that went into i#Thank you for acknowledging the work I put into every part of this project!#When I started drawing I....well...wasn't really the strongest with my visuals.#Humorously recapping scenes played off of my strengths (silly billying) and also just made the project *fun*.#But right from the start I also wanted to take my time and marinate on the themes and journal my thoughts.#I never really expected people to read them!#What might seem like a quick comic takes me several hours and I often spend a good bit of time with my tag essays too.#I owe so much to everyone who's dropped by to cheer me on and make this blog into part of the community.#to those who just lurk or drop by once in a blue moon - I thank you as well for coming along for the journey.#So even though it adds extra time; these little essays are a treat for you B*)

I'd love to have something witty to say here, but I think this one post speaks for himself in a way no words could.
Originally, I wanted to do a "simple" redraw of a silly meme, I have no idea HOW it eneded up being a four pages comic. And WHY there's also a JOJO reference within of all things. So uhm, anyway...
✨ Sources and references ✨
The "Dilf Detected Comic" [original unedited comic, meme format, meme format if you want the rebloggable tumblr version]
The "Oh? You're Approaching Me?" panel from the manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders (chapter 143)
Hope you've liked the Aries™ Rizz©® ok bye

First 2 images kinda ate with colors and backgrounds fr. WE'RE GOING PINK BOIZ (I thought I was a pastel blue person 😞😖)#tbh this is the first time I'm drawing Harbinger 💖 he's so silly I love him. Also he's like... meme material... I have to meme redraw him#also the jojo part eh. I think I could have done better but I didn't want to change the iconic pose too much and I end up like that#not bad but I think I could've add my own twist to it instead of simply copying it :/ next time I guess#or maybe spending less time adding 300 flames overlay effects hmm... I don't know really😬🤯#also raki my beloved 🥰💖 might draw her a bit more (she's funny to draw and I'm tired of drawing only men)#Also yes Mu is trying super hard to rizz poor Alde 😳 Kiki tried the same with Harbinger#but he slept for most of the original Aries Rizz Class. Kids these days don't have attention span anymore 🙄🙄🙄 (boomer humour or whatever)

Supernatural seduction, take two: the professor has arrived.
Previous / Next
Lilith: I don't think you'll be needing this anymore.
Man in Bar: [flustered] W-why's that?
Lilith: Both of our mouths are about to be very preoccupied.
-
Lilith: FINISH HIM!
Helena: [sobbing] I can't, Lilith. Please don't make me do it.
Lilith: [disappointed sigh] I suppose I can help you out. Just this once.
[sound of body hitting the water]
Lilith: But you’ll have to learn eventually.
-
Helena: [in a dull, detached tone] What turned you into this?
Lilith: Into what precisely?
Helena: A vampire, to start with.
Lilith: [hesitates slightly] It’s a boring story, really. Besides, my human memories have grown so foggy. If you must know, ask Caleb. I’m sure he’d love to spin our maudlin little tale for you.
#ts4#sims 4#ts4 story#sims 4 story#story: hzid#helena zhao#lilith vatore#only vampires can visualize their and other vampires' powers!#so helena is the only person besides lilith who can see the situation for what it really is#i might not always use so many effects in the future#but i thought it was a good way to contrast the potency of lilith's hypnotic seduction techniques with helena's past weak attempts#very glad i redid the attack sequence because it turned out much better with possibly some of my favorite shots ever???#blood tw#violence tw#death tw#gif tw#*tbw

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Commands - Cure ~ Cura ~ Curaga
#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#khddd#riku#commands#my gif#every game has a unique healing animation for these spells#but this is the first time we see the visual effects take on the appearance of various life stages of a plant#the first cure shows a seed germinating while cura creates lush vines that wrap around you#and curaga has vines with a large flower that blossoms over what looks like a small pool of water#i love how it evolves as it gets more advanced#these details are so easy to miss since you're most likely to cast these spells in a rush while in combat

i know ive been deep in uty recently, but dont let that fool you. silly timeloop game still has full residence in my brain.
the song is The Right Wrong by The Dear Hunter!
#in stars and time#isat#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#siffrin isat#isat edit#in stars and time edit#video edit#flashing lights#the bit in the song right before this is very sif and i would have included it if it wouldntve made the edit like a minute long#minimal effects because i wanted to do my best to make a mostly static edit visually interesting with just images and lyrics.#which is also why you get me doing what i call a 'polaroid pile' so often with it. stacking images and leading text to guide your eyes!#welcome back to basil posts at like 2 am for no good reason.#basil edits

Tell me about a song you like right now, maybe an animation you just watched that made you think thoughts and feel things
Only Acting by Kero Kero Bonito!! I want to make an animatic for Macaque using this song and some parts of Shadow Play and the s4 special.. although im still mapping it and deciding whether I want to use the radio edit or not lol
#its like really really rough and mostly in my head rn bc i havent drawn lmk in a while so im a little rusty. probably need to rewatch some#eps if i want to get a good idea of what i wanna include. im also debating if i should wait until we get more context on his and wukongs#past before i do anything bc the last thing i wanna do is butcher it @_@... i was thinking of paralleling the song with the pilgrims#but because i dont actually know what HAPPENED or why mac even thinks wukong killed him thats probably gonna be important to know#but its like really cool in my head.. if u listen to the song sarahs voice uses an audio filter and there are some random glitch effects#which could be good visually for macs smoke monster and him fucking with MK in general.. spooky stuff!!!#the lyrics also speak from the pov of a performer which is what reminded me of mac in the first place so it would be fun to animate to#its in my shower playlist so when i listen to it i get really intense visualizing for what scenes i wanna do. hitting 2 birds with 1 stone#actually thats smth i do when i wanna storyboard smth.. i add it to my shower playlist bc thats where i come up with my ideas lol#but yea!!! if i ever get around to doing it id be really excited to share what i have.. i have another in mind with pigsy and MK#which is way shorter and i could probably get it done during my break... ;o)#my art#myart#ask#answered#lmk#lego monkie kid#lmk macaque#six eared macaque#liu er mihou#doodles#yapping

IMAGE PROMPT
imagine/draw/write your oc in this setting. how do they feel about snow - are they used to it, awed by it? do they like or dislike the cold? are they well prepared? what could they be doing here, who are they with?
#oc development#character development#oc questions#oc prompts#writing prompt#creative writing#image prompt#i figured i'd try a new kind of oc prompt! let me know how you feel about it#use this however you want! you can respond with art or writing inspired by this or just brainstorm ideas in the tags#whatever you're in the mood for#i'll be doing more of these because i'm interested to see what people come up with!#maybe it'll inspire me to use settings more effectively as well (i struggle with visuals and description generally...)

Ashton in Jrusar is so funny bc they're like. clearly a massive loser. its just that everybody else in Bells Hells is an even bigger loser and also doesn't know this city or really cities in general so whenever anything happens they just all turn to him like "Ashton 🥺 what do we do" like a bunch of baby ducklings who imprinted on a mangy street dog. and then Ashton takes them to a guy he knows who he has to bribe before they'll actually tell him anything or even just. not immediately kick him out of their establishment. and then this person tells Ashton they're proud of him and amazed he actually has friends now and he's just like fuck i know right. and the rest of the Hells are increasingly confused and concerned but they just keep it pushing and ask Ashton questions like, "have you ever had a bounty put on you before?" to which they're like "yeah I probably have one on me right now"
#critical role#ashton greymoore#crposting#rlly though based on these reactions i think what went down with the Nobodies is very well known amongst these circles#and that it has probably had a very profound and noticeable effect on Ashton that was not just the obvious visual one#for the record this post is about how everyone deserves love. including mangy street dogs and weird losers who get kicked out of bars.#and also i mean Ashton's guidance IS very helpful their entire time in Jrusar. even if half the time their answer is 'fuck if i know'#bhposting

I mean. The bunch of photos in the bg effect... not the ship art lmao#bc every time I see people doing this fake messy scrapbook (?) effect I'm like YOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! SO TRUE BESTIEEE!!!!!!#glad I did it too lol I'd like to try stuff like this a bit more bc It's really fun and the result is really cute n silly 💖✨#proud to say now on the internet there's#1) a picture of Mu eating a sandwich and 2) Aldebaran getting his french fries stolen by a seagull and those two images are 100% my fault#once again I could have done something much less complex but WHO CARES.

Phenomenal.
Absolutely phenomenal
Web event releases and literally all it is, is Arlecchino killing 2 (3) men. Congrats. here's your rewards!
I saw a tweet earlier this morning that said
"genshin saw people mad at chiori for throwing a man out of her shop and their honest reaction was making arlecchino kill one in her teaser"
AND I CACKLED SO LOUD so seeing this now, I just had to share it with you all
#I love this company#Erin Yvette#oh. my. GODDDDDDD ERIN YVETTE#I'M ON MY HANDS AND KNEES#Arlecchino#Genshin Arlecchino#Genshin#Genshin Impact#Genshin Web Event#'Good night gentlemen'#and suddenly I'm pr-#anywho.#like... no bc it was formatted like a tiny little visual novel - all suspenseful and shit#and then we get to the climax; see Arle; she kills them#and then boom:#Here's your 40 primogems! Thank you for playing the Web Event!#WHAT#that attack effect was. fucking INSANELY!!! cool btw. Her X#going positively feral#I am absolutely normal about Arlecchino the Knave - 4th of the Fatui Harbingers - Genshin Impact#blazingshitpost#blazingshitpost genshin edition#The Treasure Hoarder on the right sounds EXTREMELY familiar like I swear it's Christian Banas or maybe Patrick Pedraza but idk

Two nice things this morning:
My new driver's licence came in the post, the photo's not bad and in fact my hair looks really good. I pulled off a Veronica Lake. I was really anxious about the way I looked that day so it's a relief as well as satisfying.
I just bought a new suit for autumn/winter and my mum just came to me excited and happy to show me a picture in a magazine she's reading of Jenna Ortega wearing a suit just like mine.
Then she had to ask me who Jenna Ortega is, but it was clear from the context that she was someone very smart and fashionable.
#I could only really say 'she's an actress' because i don't think she's ever heard of wednesday or death of a unicorn either#let alone 'she did the voice of brooklynn in camp cretaceous but they changed the voice actor for the sequel series chaos theory#and some fans were upset but I didn't actually notice the difference until I paused the end credits one day#to confirm that I just really saw 'isabella rosselini' in the cast list of my jurassic park cartoon show'#this reminds me i never did see beetlejuice beetlejuice#but I want to watch asterflix today#i'm not sure how i will feel about the fact that it uses modern music needle drops for comic effect#like part of the POINT of asterix's humour has always been projecting the present onto the past#and making up silly ancient versions of modern things#flintstones style#but 'boombastic'?#i think what's different for me is that it's not actually a silly ancient version of a modern thing like the band the rolling menhirs#(sorry the french but the rolling menhirs was a much funnier favourite band for justforkix than 'les monkiix')#(although perhaps not quite in character as justforkix is clearly a mod)#oh my gosh I have a really good asterix joke name okay okay#mods liked the who#the asterix version would be the quo#(yes I realise that's the ablative and doesn't quite mean 'who')#('the quod' would be more grammatical but wouldn't end in o like who so it's less funny visually)#damn I've just realised this doesn't work because fans of the band status quo call them 'the quo' so that's taken#well you've been on this journey with me from triumph to defeat#but what's really important is my hair looks good on my driver's licence and my mum was excited to show me jenna ortega's suit like mine

writhing on the floor because i thought about art for a second too long
#.kitschy klatter#AuUgH#live action does something different than animation 3d does something different than claymation does something different than stop motion#does something different than puppetry does something different than practical effects does something different than cgi does something dif#fferent than movies does something different than episodic does something different than frame by frame does something different than riggi#g film does something different than comics does different then visual art does different than graphical art does different than#sIGNS POSTERS ADVERTISING INFORMATIONAL TECHNICAL PHOTOGRAPHY FROTHING AT THE MOUTH#NOT EVEN TOUCHING ON MUSIC......#any time i linger too long on art and how much i just wanna See It and Understand i start feeling insane#im like. trapped on the tippity top of an iceberg. theres so little time on this baka world#i understand an iota of what being attacked by c.hainsaw man's cosmos devil must feel like#i should be in a dark dusty archive studying every known bit of art history and then clock out and go home after a reasonable time#and use the knowledge to draw my ocs more.

I love the shapes you use to draw machete, or really any character!! The way you draw noses, ears, bodies, fur, it looks like of I were to reach my hand out I could actually feel it, the bumps in the skin the squish of the flesh the softness of the hair. Not to mention the colors you use are very pleasing to the eye. So lovely... keep up the phenomenal work!!!
Ah, thank you so much!
#that's actually one of the tricks I use when I'm having trouble getting the shape and form of something right#I try to visualize the thing right in front of me and rotate it around and look at it from different angles#and imagine that if I could touch it how flexible and yelding it would be and what the surface would feel like#since I don't shade my art very dutifully the sense of tangibility has to come from somewhere else#so I guess I'm putting a lot of eggs in the shape basket#and I try to give off the effect that despite the flatness of my style the things I draw still exist in 3d space and have weight and volume#I've talked about this before but man I love anatomy it's one of my favorite things in the world#I specifically try to convey the feel that there's layers of muscle and bone and various other tissues under the skin#like my characters are made of flesh and not solid uniform rubber coated with fur or something like that (?)#I don't know what I'm talking about it's late hah#but I'm glad you like my art#anonymous#answered

Feeling so thankful for this series of MAD! lyric videos today, because thanks to it I won't have to use the unimaginative names of "wild synth break 1" and "wild synth break 2" when refering to these parts of the song in my album review, but rather their true & official names: [unsettling synthesiser noises] and [heavenly choir + metallic chugging], respectively
#feeling so thankful for them also because they're so amazing and fun and awesome too and honestly the best lyric videos i've ever seen#i love how much they add to the whole feel of the album. i love the visual aesthetic of MAD! so much thank you galen johnson#i especially love the hotel 4 the fab vid the whole kinescopic (?) effect + the overlapping slowed down footage#go so well with the songs sinister vibe. and the scrolling list of the hotels services hell yesss. wonder if theres any easter eggs in ther#i also love knowing what color the songs are. bcs yes don't dog it is this exact shade of orangeish yellow so true#altough i see hit me baby as more of a red and pink song than blue (sky blue. or what i should maybe even call MAD! blue) but this works to#when i make that HMB-inspired comic page i think i'll go with red & dark pink & black in terms of colors mostly#but with some touches of that MAD! blue as well maybe. also speaking of the album review#i just hope to get to that before 14th june bcs if i don't then it won't exist until after it's my sparks show time#and i'd rather get that sorted out before all that big action time arrives. but now i'm still too busy enjoying MAD!#and losing it over how awesome this album is. but thats enough tags for one post i will continue this line of thought in another one later#goosepost
