#but I don’t have a scale to work with.

[andhumanslovedstories]

I was thinking idly about commissioning some artwork, but I don’t know what a fair pay scale is. I’ve seen a lot of posts advertising commissions, but the prices seem to vary a lot, and a lot of those posts are like “I am in dire financial straits so I’m selling art,” which makes me think that those might not be prices that are ideal for the artist. Is there a standardly accepted range? What factors into it? Like, a full body character portrait with basic post and background should be about $thismuch to $thatmuch? How do you artists calculate your rates?

some lineless sketches of my OCs Master Graaddik and Padawan Naarla Lanii. Their missions usually involve protecting non sentient creatures.

does anyone else who writes ocs ever get petty asf about the fact that animated series are always being released with debatably bad new characters meanwhile you’ve just got these detailed, fleshed out, meaningful ocs that are more likely to be seen as cringe by some internet moron than ever be in a production of their own where your vision for them could be realized or is it just me

looking at the leafs fanbase & realising that most people have never watched a team sport before becoming a leafs fan and finally realising that’s why people act the way they do.

I always ask the very good question of ‘if rhaenyra wanted to rule successfully and shut the greens down before they could gain traction why didn’t she foster more alliances besides with the velaryons and arryns’ like alliances aren’t just marital you can foster good relations and give lords attention and listen to them personally (since you have a dragon that gives you increased travel mobility) and make them feel important. She’s a woman in a misogynistic society and has three brothers (along with two nephews) that many would consider heirs above her, I genuinely don’t understand why she didn’t realize how weak her position was and work to combat it. She just squatted on dragonstone for years to the point that a betrayal from house Baratheon (who are literally just across the channel) came out of nowhere to her. She just expected they’d be her allies bc she didn’t consider the rumors about her sons might anger the baratheons. She knows she has two unmarried brothers that the greens could use to form marital alliances, why didn’t she try to figure out which great house with eligible daughters was their target? It’s just bizzare. I would’ve been visiting all the time to check the vibes at storms end and trying to charm them into forgetting they aren’t Actually related to my heir. Granted she’d have a harder time of it bc misogyny & her habit of lying but if she gave an effort the greens would’ve had a much weaker leg to stand on. It’s like she grew up so entitled/watching her stupid father flounder in KL that she forgot being a monarch is an actual job that requires networking with everyone and not one or two houses. She finally started networking during the war by sending her heir to treat with the north but by then it was too damn late to stop the war from happening. I blame viserys for being a fuckup bad example to her and I also blame Targaryen exceptionalism for making her ego & sense of delusional entitlement worse.

There’s a tanned Nilou under the cut, just because these pics feel huge on my end

I just realized the coordination of those two posts makes it seem like I got a bunny suit for Leon.

I did not.

Literally *hurting* again on how hard my brain has to work on this assignment oh god

Seriously it’s like suddenly doing a 12 hour kayak after months of no exercise at all

specifically kayaking, too, because unlike other exercise where you *feel* your limit during, if you have good technique and rhythm you don’t feel the impact of the kayaking until you stop, and then it’s like, ohhhh what did I do why did I do itt

On the one hand, I think: if it feels this bad now I absolutely *have* to keep studying professionally at high level all my life because clearly my brain is not getting the exercise it needs!!!

on the other, I think: oh man this hurts in ways that there aren’t even words to describe the sensation I don’t know if I can take this for another 9 units over 3-8 years

Climbed up Scald Law yesterday with some friends from uni (and nearly died because it was so hot)

Right as I’m putting on my director cap again in a big professional way, one of the directors and educators that really helped shape my career has passed. Big artist emotions right now.

i. can’t believe people are STILL attacking jenna ortega for the whole “changing lines” thing like. a. she was ASKED For her opinion on set and she was ASKED by the interviewer. some of y’all didn’t listen to the whole thing and it really shows.

ALSO tv shows are a collaborative process. writers actors and directors are all involved and all of them have to make concessions to keep each other happy and make the best product possible. all of them should be respected and treated fairly and paid properly. BUT the final product was a global success so idk why you’re mad about jenna speaking up on the experience. y’all will actively ignore the fact that wednesday is not a character that should ever go in a CW style direction, that this was filmed and written during COVID when everyone, including jenna, was in a foreign country and being pushed to their limits. the writers would have been ripped to shreds if jenna didn’t make the changes she did but now all that y’all can talk about is how “entitled” she is. grow up
