Tip for adult artists if your focus is improving your anatomy and drawing bodies that feel more grounded in a space, genuinely one of the best exercises for that is to draw smut.

You don't have to post it. Hell, you can burn it when you're done for all it matters. But hardly anything will give you more of an understanding of a realistic human body interacting in 3D space when you smush two or more of them together.

#art advice #18+ art #obviously not the only way to go about it #but I definitely learned more from drawing smut than from gesture drawings alone #if you're adverse/repulsed by images then non-sexual intimacy would work just fine #I'll admit references are hard cause I hate searching for irl stuff #but worst case scenario 3D model poser apps can help you find the general positions of things and you can pose however you need to #at this point I've been practicing construction a lot so I can just draw from my own understanding of anatomy #and I'll fill in the rest by using reference which can often just be my own photos or looking at my own hands/mouth/etc #added bonus is if you do it enough that embarrassment goes away eventually #but don't be upset with yourself if you are painfully shy at the start that's perfectly normal #ok sorry this turned into a ramble #artists of tumblr #demirambles

i like him

#somebody needs to keep me 8 metres away at all times or else ill start chewing on him #i just want everyone to know if i end up making a character who happens to resemble harvey in any shape or form #it probably wasnt a coincidence 😐and it will happen again #if i remember maybe ill try getting stardew when it goes on sale.. my friend showed me her farm and she named her chicken after doja cat #or maybe it was nikki minaj i cant remember. and she also said smth about monsters and passing out if you stay out after a certain hour #idk how accurate tht is all i know is the funny fucked up grandpas bed #i read somewhere that harveys supposed to be in his early to mid thirties and i dont have a problem with it but i think itd be very funny #if hes actually younger than he looks hes just a med school postgrad lmao. idk how well that headcanon would hold up since ive #never played the game and idk how often ppl talk about his age or if itsjust an implied thing. i just think its really really funny #im trying to get into the habit of drawing poses so im using reference images to try and build up muscle memory #i found some cute pictures of two ppl playing by the sea shore and it reminded me of xin and sailor so im gonna draw em like that #i havent drawn em in so long..... maybe i should update xins reference since i changed their lore quite a bit #myart #my art #doodles #stardew valley #stardew #sdv #sdv harvey #kinda wanna see him whimper a little bit. as a treat

Little bright colored outfit with a fun vest ~

(shoes from ebay like 10 years ago. everything else is thrifted)

#ootd #jfashion #fashion #fantasy fashion #mori kei #....like... adjacent... lol #no idea what style this would be lol.. makes me think of like whimsical vaguely fantasy themed childrens book character #finally posting one of my aforementioned seven million drafts of actual outfits and costumes i have finished and edited #the photos for but just never feel like posting lol..#I need to find one of those people whos like 'omg i am ADDICTED to social media ugh i wish i could get off of it #im just browsing and posting like 60 times a daaaaay!!!' and take a little magical bottle and suck some of the social media #enthusiasim out of them. for moi. In exchange they can have some of my 'literally just never in the mood to post or interact with the #outside world ever' energy. We can balance each other. huzzah and so on #Though I think maybe it's part of the general thing I've heard of like.. I can't remember if it was in reference to adhd or just some sort #of general execcutive functioning issue type of thing - but the idea that things have to be ''just right'' before you do something. like #'oh i need to do this task. but i have to wait until XYZ first' or 'oh i can do this but only if X specific condition is met' or etc #The fact that I even have to be in a Specific Mindset to post. or sometimes will delay posting on social media because like 'oh well #I'm going somewhere tomorrow. somehow this matters. i cannot spend 5 minuts posting TONIGHT. clearly it will interfere #somehow schedule wise with the doctor appointment i have 15 hours from now. yes. yes. i must wait until my appointment is over #tomorrow afternoon. THEN i shall post' or etc. etc. lol. NOT even taking into account the many days #I just genuinely and physically sick and it's not even a mental thing. I just physically dont feel like sitting at the computer lol..#ANYWAY.. trying to get back into it. trying to get a business bank account.. make a proper paypal so i can start selling sculptures again.#selling clothes and sculptures.. posting about such things then of course as one must. etc... chanting to hype up and motivate myself lol #But yes. this is my favorite outfit out of the bunch so I am posting it first I guess.. maybe others later..#Also the purple dress says its from shein. which I've heard is bad fast fashion stuff. but maybe okay since its second hand? I havent #been to the bins since like 2020 or late 2019 even. and I think stuff like shein and temu has only become poular in the past few years #but I bet if I went to the bins now I might would find a good handfull of that stuff. Probably now not much different than what you #find in a walmart or a forever 21 or actual physical stores you can go to though. I hear quality of clothing is down everywhere no matter #where you get it or whatnot. What bountiful joys unfettered capitalism and exploitation bestows upon us (<being sarcastic).#Wearing one of my favorite little vests though. I love the texture of it and the clasps on it

i was today years old when i realized that the orange blobs on this shirt pat wears for a good part of episode 6...

... are flowers (and rocks)...

... and not, as i fully believed, many tiny flying pomeranians. for your convenience i've prepared a visual to argue the validity of my interpretation

corporate needs you to find the difference.png

#i started the pomeranian edit as a joke and then they came out blending in almost TOO well. please notice there are dogs here #i've been thinking about this shirt because teh also wears it in episode 3 of i told sunset about you (nice bad buddy reference!)#((that's a joke.))#but it genuinely DID take me until seeing it on pat again today for the hundredth time to suddenly go oh. oh my god #i mean!!! do flying pomeranians make sense? no. but why would they need to #this ostensibly came from the same closet as the legendary baseball mom tank & awful outdated us politics diss t-shirt #and honestly! way less of a totally wacky choice now that i know the truth. palm trees and flowers? yeah whatever #but palm trees and floating pomeranians? now THAT's fashion #*#bad buddy #bad buddy the series

brush test slash rendering practice with ayem

#morrowind #almalexia #the elder scrolls #tes #tes fanart #art #id in alt #ok that's all the tags this needs ANYWAY #i started this 1. for experimenting with coloring from dark to light #2. because i wanted to draw someone kind of back turned to the camera #3. rendering practice for hair particularly #4. to go from sketch to rendering rather than doing lines to see if that doesn't smooth out my workflow a bit #5. because i've never actually used this brush past flat coloring #and out of those 1. i don't think i had enough of an idea of the palette or process to jump into dark to light painting so i did scrap that #and go with my usual “flat color with one of the mid shadow tones add shadows add light”#i do think that painting from shadows out is a thing people do digitally i just think this wasn't the drawing to test it on for me #i think i'd need to look at some other peoples processes and start with a more fleshed out idea of where to go #2 and 3 i think worked out. i'm gradually figuring hair out which i think is sick #4 i also think worked out for me which is also sick because i do get caught on lines a lot. they're fun sometimes but i think some drawings #benefit better from not having them and that it might be a bit faster #and of course everything i do is so that i can draw slightly faster and better for next artfight #as for 5. i have mixed feelings on this brush but that might be because i hate change. and also because i started this drawing on the 15th #of november and finished it yesterday. so im kind of just sick of working on and looking at it #it was a valuable learning experience and i think it came out well! i am also going to drop to my knees and rejoice when i can finally #close this file out and free medibang paint from under it so i can work on Literally Anything Else #thank you almalexia for being my test subject i should've used a reference for your armor when i did the sketch but i didn't #maybe the crown looks weird because of it maybe it doesn't. not my problem anymore i can draw other elves again #my art #iiii think i forgot a my art tag last time

The moment you start throwing around a slur as a genuine insult you are no longer reclaiming it. Reclaiming a word involves referring to yourself with it in a positive manner, using it to spread community and trying to remove the feelings of shame around it. If you are using it as an insult you are not fucking reclaiming it, you are just using a slur.

#This is about people thinking its fine to use the r-slur just because they're a high functioning autistic #Look im not one to police how other people refer to themselves #if ur high functioning and you genuinely feel the need to reclaim it then fine whatever #but the SECOND you start flinging it around as an insult my good grace for you is gone #WOW who knew ableism is bad even when you do it!!#Crazy thought I know #ableism #sowwyyy just wanted to go off a little teehee

I may have many issues with Countdown but I can appreciate it for a few things and that includes Jason meeting murder Batman* (Earth-51 Batman)

I mean to start Jason clearly doesn't agree with the guy. He's very not into the whole "let's kill all these guys" attitude and thinks murder batman is crazy (and outright says so) But also. He puts on the suit he's given that this Batman made, he's fights with him. He mourns him. He's upset with the death. After Batman failed him on his own earth he meets one that accepts him

And augh. They haunt me. Aughh I wish I could write I wanna write and get to see a fic about them so so bad

(do Not tell me to just write it anyway please amd thank you. auuaaoighh)

Because like! The way murder batman was SO quick to start seeing Jason as his own dead Jason and start referring to him as such.

The way murder batman never got to know about Jason's Red Hooding but AUGH. Can you just IMAGINE the moral dilemma he'd have with that??! He probably would've killed a crime lord Jason before ever learning his identity, or learning it too late. Aughhhaoujgh

They had to kill off murderbatman he wouldve been too powerful otherwise. For example I think he wouldve Not been willing to let go of this living Jason

Multiverse kidnapping story where after meeting and then leaving, murder bat finds our Jason amd just. Fucking takes him and pretends it's his Jason. Augh that'd be so fun

This page is everything ^

Theyre so so normal about eachother. I'm chewing on them like a dog with its favorite toy btw

#*a batman. who. iirc. after his Jason Todd's death killed the Joker and then like every other villain n criminal the heros face.#Batman likes to say that if he killed. he wouldn't be able to stop. And this is the Batman who doesn't stop)#In my own reading I def saw their short story as trying to show Jason as someone who doesn't want to #and doesn't consider killing every criminal something Lost Days also does.#batman #dc comics #jason todd #earth-51 batman #for references i think its just the main countdown comic (none of the side ones)#and you just need to start at like issue 16-15? and go down. then read 1 #(countdown. counts down. so its goes from 52 -> 1. not 1 -> 52)#also yeagh jason was the first red robin. he let tim have the suit. that is in fact the same suit #used briefly while tim was still robin and i suppose fully donned at some point after bftc #i have Thoughts about that too but not right now #ANYWAY. falls unconscious. falls asleepy. honk shoe mimimi. im out now its like nearing 2 in the am #i sure hope this is comprehensible

i just wrote a whole post on how david and roger’s perception of each other ultimately led to their downfall and it started off as like a paragraph of surface level observations and somehow morphed into an essay length analysis that i can’t possibly justify posting 😭 i did kind of cook tho ngl i’m proud of her

#lena.txt #me when i’m normal #roger waters #david gilmour #pink floyd #watermour #even if i wanted to post it i would need to clean it up bc rn it’s just a huge mess #like it’s basically just a pure manifestion of my adhd #i got derailed multiple times like i never strayed completely from the point but i definitely had a lot of tangents #at some point i started talking about the seven deadly sins and how they pertain to the disharmony of pink floyd 😭#and obviously it’s completely opinion based so i can only use what facts or ‘evidence’ i do have to support my thesis #but i still think i did a pretty good job at capturing the full scope of things #even tho 99% of the time i’m like yeah i think this could be something but i am often wrong #i think this one came out pretty good and obviously there will always be a bias when it comes to anything opinion based #but i think it was a pretty fair analysis that doesn’t really favor or place much blame on either of them #it’s just how it is 🤷🏻‍♀️#also it’s actually based on my tags from another post i reblogged like last month about david’s perception of roger #and somehow it turned into a mini essay with a word count of 1.5k #of course if i go back and edit it i’m sure it will inevitably become longer and closer to 2k #also there’s nothing romantic about it in nature at all like the one reference made to intimacy is strictly about emotional intimacy

A rather intriguing characteristic of psi battle is how it takes places in a mildly different timeline.

Although it happens after the cat tank arc, there's one key difference - Kuusuke did not make the device that removes Kusuo's powers.

This change is the driving force behind the plot, as in: pretty much everything happens because Kuusuke tried to find some other way to help Kusuo (which then backfired).

(That other way being creating fake worlds based on people's delusions.)

Modifying the plot like that also allows for some good moments, like Kusuo having to decide between accepting such reality and few characters' reaction to that.

#saiki kuusuke #saiki kusuke #saiki kusuo #toritsuka reita #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k #psi battle #also for the timeline; it's also sort of implied that the volcano was stopped (because kusuo never mentions needing to stop it)#“few characters” refers to toritsuka aiura and somewhat akechi #kusuo (and the other characters) being in the fake worlds is not Directly the fault of kuusuke (<- potentially useful context)#i was reminiscing about how cool psi battle's ending is but then i started thinking about its funnily messy timeline #exploring alternative versions of events/things that didn't happen in the manga is one of the best parts of psi battle #and; whilst maybe bit messy at times; it's really endearing
