i've always wanted to try out this trend! i didnt think i drew him that different. i was wrong. very wrong.
hes so baby girl in my style what the fuck. oh i know, i was just drawing what gege meant to draw. dw, i got his telepathic brainwaves 👍
[time lapse + my headcanons for Noritoshi's appearance under the cut]
some headcanons i have while drawing him are semi obvious while others are bc i like it ahehahhaheha
cupid's bow lips!
this was semi inspired by Mizuki Umetsu, the actor for Noritoshi in the jjk stage play! hes so. pretty. perfect guy for the role imo! i was captivated therefore my views changed.
longer hair!
the thought that his bangs(? are the same length, or longer, as the rest of his hair is nice.. it also makes his inevitable haircut much more refreshing! i also just like long hair and its a fucking waste not to do whatever the i want.
thicker brows and visible eyelashes!
i naturally draw thicker eyebrows because it looks pretty, but the eyelashes is so fucking canon bro. dont even fight me on this, you'll lose. i read a fic about Noritoshi where it said he took good care of himself and his appearance inspired jealousy. that fucked me up man, so now i draw him as beautiful as i can.
monolids!
I've looked through the manga and i think its highly implied that Noritoshi has monolids? yk those lines in between the eye and eyebrow, he doesnt have them in the manga. i thought it was because of the expressions he had, but no. the others have them, except geto! so geto also having monolids is so fr in my head. i like that feature abt him.
loose hairs!
the hairs that i draw on his face. they make him look so cute and a bit more relaxed. he's not trying to be perfect nor have a single strand out of place. he's just a bit more at ease... though if there's something important he has to go through, he sharpens up. becomes.. stiffer?
I UNINTENTIONALLY MADE HIS CHEST LOOK A BIT BIGGER IN MY STYLE AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE, BUT I'D BE A LIAR.
DOES THIS COUNT AS A HEADCANON??? I JUST THINK... SINCE. YK. HES AN ARCHER. AND DOES TRAINING. AND COMBAT. AND DOES ALL THOSE HIGH JUMPS... HIS CHEST. ITD BE A BIT BIGGER FOR HIS STATURE.. omfg. that'd imply that his legs are fucking insane. and his arms too, since he has to pull back all those arrows so quickly.. oh my fuck. this. this is a revelation. what are you hiding under those robes noritoshi...???? one day.. one day we'll see...
oh my fucking god i forgot that i wrote shit while drawing. please ignore my fucking stupid writings AND THE STUPID ASS THING IN THE MIDDLE I FORGOT ABT WHILE DRAWING..
tmm has always been my biggest art style inspo and the one I imitated to really learn how to draw, and while I can see the influence still...seeing them side by side does make me laugh. she gets so SQUISHED in my style 😭
This is a weird useless post but if wizard101 was ever officially animated by experienced animators well versed in body language, symbolism, and design I would be dead. Impactful animation and movement and dynamics between characters and the plot itself IS my hyperfixation
unfortunately i found this lil gopher in my grandparent’s pool. its about to be pool season again soon, so i checked under the pool cover to see what the pool’s looking like after over wintering. sadly the pool cover and pool fence can only do so much. it was very very very much a water logged carcass, so it was pretty easy to free up this skull. ive never done maceration before though, so any tips on this method are greatly appreciated. i have the skull sitting in a covered and vented container of water right now. i was thinking about going at the rest of the tissue with a brush and then a hypodermic needle to flush out the matter inside, and then degreasing after.
i had no interest in the rest of the carcass also its too small for the cage covering my rot plot, so it has been put to rest among weeds and wildflowers in the over grown and unkept plot of yard it most likely inhabited. thank you little gopher for your life and your skull, I’m so sorry you couldn’t find your way out from under the pool cover.
Hopefully, anyway. Live food that has the opportunity to hide can be hard to keep track of, so it’s possible they were stressed too... But at least that would be something familiar, not a big scary shadow to run away from
Even selfish, childish thoughts deserve a place to be recognized. There’s no utility in piling shame on top of grief
It felt really strange to logically know that they were gone but still believing so hard that I could somehow undo it, that they’d start moving again if I just did the right thing. Death really does strange things to the brain
I love the way you write Volition. You get all the skills in the exact way that I can hear their voices from the game in my head saying what you write, but Volition feels like a shot of dopamine every time it shows up.
Idk how to really put it into words. It's the one skill I've seen so far that seems to not be eerily similar to the actual game, but in the sense that it feels like it's because Volition is at a place where he and Harry are trying to cope with life instead of just getting the job of the game done, if that makes any sense. Volition if the game wasn't focused on the murder plot and all that
Ohhhh… 🥺 thank you, that makes me pretty happy to hear tbh. And also made me realize why I feel like my Volition tends to veer a little from how it talks in the game LOL it’s true, these vignettes aren’t rlly case related, they’re just moments I wanted to see between Harry and the other characters in Martinaise. So Harry and Volition’s talks are more just introspection.
And well Volition in the game is sort of hard to pin down for me, like… sometimes it’s an almost paternalistic voice, other times it’s more like a plea? Like the Volition lines from the game that have stuck with me the most are when Harry gets shot and Volition says in such a scared voice, “Don’t go into shock! Hold on!” And also after the dream sequence in the flak tower if you wake up alone and half light is like “fuck this life and fuck this body, just fucking go” and Volition says, “Harry… I know there’s not much to say, but if nothing else, just remember that you’ve made it this far. And it’s just a bit further now. Let’s finish this.” Or how when Harry feels ashamed of pawning off his gun, thinking it was probably for money to buy liquor, Volition is the one that points out he actually did it so that he couldn’t kill himself, like reassuring him that even if it wasn’t a great call, it kept him alive. Like… I dunno. Those more vulnerable Volition lines are my most memorable ones, so ig that tends to come through when I write the talks with Volition. The case is like the main thing that gives Harry a reason to keep his mind off his woes and focus on moving through each day (and I forget which skill pointed out that the rush of solving a case is what he lives for), so it’s what Volition keeps drawing his attention to in the game, but more broadly it’s the voice that asks him to stay alive… that’s how I think of it, anyway. Volition my beloved… I’m glad to hear it’s a dopamine hit to read SJSHDJDJ it’s sorta embarrassing to admit but the talks between Harry and Volition seem to end up being conversations with myself, whether or not I intended it.
genuinely was so productive this morning ( night? i haven't slept ) i did so much of the dishes and some personal work i've been meaning to do plus fed a little stray cat outside! i normally spend my nights feeling bad, since i'll waste most of the day sleeping due to how late i stay up, but tbh i think i need to embrace that i'm just. more of a night person? if i stop feeling shitty for being up late then i can actually get stuff done!
not to be cat posting again but it's really odd to me how she's eating pretty well for an old cat who had all her teeth taken- like not gluttonous but she is eating, drinking, she uses the scratching post once or twice a day, then goes back to my bed or will come sit with me when im at the desk but she just hasnt been trying to get outside at all? a few times she comes and sits at the back door and looks outside but otherwise this cat who has spent presumably a decade going outside all the time with no restraints and even last week was Yowling to get out is now just staying inside happily ? idk its just odd...
