Am I the only one who will be discouraged with interacting with any type of media if it has a picture made by AI with it??
Like I can love a concept and want to check it out but if I see it has been attached to a picture of AI by OP I just won't touch it. I won't check it out or even give it a chance even if I really want to!?!??
Getting over my fear of posting this was CRAZY but here we go
MARX RPG
I’ve been working on this for days, made an accidental (The nova itself) and purposeful reference (the background) to Birth of a Wish by itsquakey (you should go check em out their art is SICK /pos)
- More ramblings below -
I wanted to make an RPG type thing with Marx for a while. Originally I was going to make an actually playable one but then realized I don’t have the time or knowledge to actually do that so I turned around and made it a video. Marx actually wasn’t the first idea I have for who the video would be about.
The first character I’d considered was actually Taranza but then… I’d have to draw Taranza and I was not in the mood. So I went with Marx.
The reference to Birth of a Wish (via the Nova specifically) wasn’t intended but someone I’d shown the video to pointed it out and I couldn’t leave it out in mention. The actually intended reference (the background) was specifically placed there because original all the video was going to be was some sample text and audio and then I got carried away and by that point I was over 200 images in on CapCut and unwilling to turn around.)
Where the plot was gonna go from here included the Nova having something to do with the rain in dreamland and being a small part of one of popstar’s larger moon’s or something of the sort meaning Kirby and Marx would have to find all the pieces to this “planet”. At least that’s what I imagined LMAO 😅
Note: Itsquakey if you ask me to take this down because of the references to your work I will without questions!
Last thing! I wanted to mention two posts I’ve seen that have done something similar that I think you should also check out!
Marx’s Fun Shop: while working on this I found that video and thought “wow! We even used the same music! That’s super freaking awesome!” The art here is amazing, the way Marx is written is also cool! You should go check this out!!!
Magolor’s Item Shop: A series of images in an RPG style that feature Magolor specifically! These are really cool and also what kinda struck the idea! They’re definitely worth checking out!
Hello! Honoring the call for a global strike, from now (24/01/2024) until the end of this week (6AM Monday 29/01/2024, Hanoi/Jakarta time (GMT+7)) I am offering one full-body sketch of any character you want for every e-sim you donate.
All you need to do is:
go to gazaesims.com
follow the instruction there and donate an e-sim of any plan
screenshot the confirmation of your purchase and donation
send the screenshots to me via either email ([email protected]) or Tumblr DM, along with the character you want a sketch of and any references you have on hand.
Standard commission/request guideline applied. I'll run streams in the next four days (and perhaps after as well) on Youtube doing these sketches live - those will be announced on this blog as they happen.
I'm not currently affiliated with the Cartoonist Cooperative or any other artists doing the same drive, but if my art's not what you're looking for, definitely give the Coop's site as well as the e-sim tag on Tumblr a look! And if you're not looking for sketch commissions from me or art commission in general at the moment, I encourage you to donate an e-sim anyway if possible.
Thank you for your work and support - I can't wait to draw your character!
you bitches have got to watch Scavengers Reign if you haven't yet, i'm only a few episodes in and it's already completely unlike anything else i've ever seen
Hello, I'm in a difficult situation and am potentially facing eviction. The apartment complex that I had applied to denied my application, putting me hundreds of dollars in the hole, and I am currently behind on my rent. I'm quickly realizing that finding a new place to stay will be significantly more difficult than I realized and that this process is going to be long. I am hoping to be able to make a big enough payment towards my back rent that I can stop them from filing eviction tomorrow (8/26) and give me some more breathing room to pay off the rest of the debt when I get paid.
I recognize that this is a problem of my own making and I'm preparing myself to deal with the consequences of it as best I can. I can only be thankful and appreciative for the enormous amount of support I've received over the years but especially since my mom passed away in December. Anything helps as my budget is currently operating on very slim margins.
Where DID Grubba find the Crystal Star that he's been using for supposed decades?
Simple. He STOLE it. But the guy he stole it from deserved it, honest.
Meet Auric Rex, the latest in a long line of "golden dragons" that can trace their lineage all the way back to the Cataclysm of Rogueport. Auric, like any self-respecting dragon, hoards both money and talent. When a bold new fighter named "Macho" Grubba first broke through the Minor Leagues and became a minor sensation, Auric immediately decided to milk it for all it's worth and signed Grubba up on seemingly infinite merchandising deals.
At a young age, Grubba was placed in makeup chairs, put on special diets so he wouldn't "get too chubby", and told over and over that eventually his star was going to burn out and every last one of his fans was going to forget who he was so hey, better make the most of it in the short time he has left, Champ. And thus began a cycle of exploitation.
Grubba would eventually snap from the pressure, reveal that he performed the ol' switcheroo on Auric's family relic and that Auric's been guarding a glass replica all this time, turn into a powerful orange monster in Auric's office as a final "Eff You", and then smash a desk across his head. And then Auric did the funny accordion thing when you flatten Rexes in Super Mario World.
