#art crisis

[weepinglilvessel]

…AAAAH!!!

Bruh there’s something about my art style that I just… despise idk!

I just look it and it seems off, it looks wrong. And then I get surprised every time people say that they are inspired by me or like my art cuz I’m absolutely having a crisis with it lmao.

I know everyone get that feeling with their art at some point, aah but im just so frustrated, why?????? I loved it not even 2 weeks ago.

Hhh, thanks for listening to me complain lmao

Damn, I used to have only one ship I actively created for and now I have three ships at the same time... And a million ideas!! I need help :'D I have so many LawRusso wips (and I keep sketching ideas instead of finishing XD) I have Jally wips and many more ideas and I haven't drawn them even close to enough, and now I am having a clown crisis!!! (I just had started to actively draw Akabuggy when Cobra Kai suddenly happened and fully occupied me but now with the OPLA and Buggy being so beyond perfect and the Cobra Kai/TKK fandom becoming more and more quiet, my urge to draw my captain is stronger than ever :'3)

i want my artsyle to be realistic but also not realistic and vibrant but also a bit dull and have clean lineart but also super messy lineart and have precise anatomy and clothing structure but also just big and little circles and curves also i want complex shading and hightlighting but also shading and highlighting that’s basic and takes a maximum of five minutes

The Reference Vs the Crisis 😅 Vs the final Outcome

It's not the best I knowwwww, but this was done with Gouache and Coloured Pencils

I have never done a proper Gouache piece before - it's messy but I like that 😅

You know, for an artist I sure don't like doing art a lot

[silver-focus-lining]

I’m having an art crisis with the eye style again.

It’s not that I don’t know how to draw them, it’s how I don’t know how to find a style for the eyes that satisfies my brain.

“Unfinished Painting” — Keith Haring

This painting was left intentionally incomplete. Haring began it when he was dying due to complications from AIDS, and knew he didn’t have much time left. The piece represents the incomplete lives of him and many others, lost to AIDS during the crisis.

“AIDS Memorial Quilt” — Multiple

This quilt is over 50 tons heavy, and one of, if not the, largest pieces of community folk art. Many people who died of AIDS did not receive funerals, due to social stigma and many funeral homes refusing to handle the deceased’s remains, so this was one of the only ways their lives could be celebrated. Each panel was created in recognition of someone who died due to AIDS, typically by that person’s loved ones.

“Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) — Felix Gonzalez-Torres

This pile of candy weighs the same amount as Gonzalez-Torres’ partner, Ross Laycock, did. Ross Laycock had died due to AIDS-related complications earlier that same year. Visitors who see this piece are encouraged to take some of the candy. As they do so, the pile of candy weighs less and less, like how AIDS had deteriorated the body of Ross Laycock.

The SF Gay Men's Chorus

This photo was taken in 1993. The men in white are the surviving original members. Every man in black is standing in for an original member who lost their lives to AIDS.

“Electric Fan (Feel it Motherfuckers); Only Unclaimed Item from the Stephen Earabino Estate, 1997” — John Boskovich

After the death of his lover, Stephen Earabino, from AIDS, Boskovich discovered that his family had completely cleared his room, including Boskovich’s own possessions, save for this fan. An entire person, existence and relationship had been erased, just like so many lives during the AIDS crisis. Boskovich encased the fan in Plexiglass, but added cutouts so that its air may be felt by the viewer, almost like an exhalation. In a sense, restoring Earabino’s breath.

“Blue” — Derek Jarman

This was Jarman’s final feature film, released four months before his death from AIDS-related complications. These complications had left him visually impaired, able to only see in shades of blue. This film consists of a single shot of a saturated blue color, as the soundtrack to the film described Jarman’s life through narration, intercut with the adventures of Blue, a humanization of the color blue. The film's final moments consist of a set of repeated names: “John. Daniel. Howard. Graham. Terry. Paul". These are the names of former lovers and friends of Jarman who had died due to AIDS.

“Untitled” (Perfect Lovers) — Felix Gonzalez-Torres

Created by the same man who created the previous untitled piece, this piece was also inspired by his lover’s deterioration and death due to AIDS. This piece consists of two perfectly alike clocks. Over the course of time, one of the clocks will fall out of sync with the other.

In a letter written to his lover about the piece, before his lover’s passing, Gonzalez-Tourres wrote, “Don't be afraid of the clocks, they are our time, the time has been so generous to us. We imprinted time with the sweet taste of victory. We conquered fate by meeting at a certain time in a certain space. We are a product of the time, therefore we give back credit were it is due: time. We are synchronized, now forever. I love you.”

Was encouraged by Tulli to post some of my original work here today for portfolio day. Besides GG20s, I'm also developing a cyberpunk story about a rookie cyborg boxer in an alternate 2001 Los Angeles in the style of late-90s anime.

I also have a side project, developing a video game idea on exploring the Pacific ocean and speculative marine sciences.

Also some posters I've done, including a piece I made for The Lovers.
