💅guess who won the Barbie contest 🔪

[fttitv]

Went to the rocky seashore this morning. There was a like a milky way-like path of big rocks and I just followed it for two hours haha the sea was shallow over there and I just either waddled my way to the next big rock or jumped like a dumb game character 😌👌 found some pretty shells but I left them on a big rock to hold on to anything else just in case. I could have went on until the big rocks ended (they kept getting farther for some reason) if mom didn't call me back. Yeah it's pretty dangerous if there aren't any people nearby anymore what if something pulls me to my death and all?

Helloo~ I was bored in class one day so I thought "why not do an art study of the artists I like" except it incredibly scuffed and I really just looked at a bunch of art on their page and i tried my best to replicate one of em

So these are the 2 'studies' i did that day

1st:

My ver:

(Art by @izuke-the-zombie )

ref pic:

What I noticed first while sketching is ofc the super gorgeous cute style. Though not long into the sketching phase noticed her lines are quite sharp and pronouced, for most of her works she keeps her sketch lines making it seem more mmm hazy is the right word? Or effortless, but with every sharp line a rounded(?) line contrasts it, giving it that signature fluffiness. I absolutely adore how well this all mixes together, i dunno just sonethin bout her lines bro

I love the expression, really gives off absolutely love sick, I didn't capture the eyes quite well (I blame my chonk pen because all good artists blames their materials/j) Macaque looks more scared than breath taken and I put the eyes too far apart. I basically deprived the eyes of its soul lmao note for next time I do a study.

Ok this part has not much to do with the ref pic but her art in general and that includes her writing. I adore the cute HCs and little stories/AUs she would post, just so much creativity and its always so comforting to read as theyre so wholesome and cute. Im so sure one of my first posts here were a drawing of one of her HCs LIKE SRSLY SO CREATIVE. I was also surprised as I saw in some artworks she's able to draw structures and environments that draws your into the scene, its fits the universe so well, just adding to that little wonderment of awe. Shes amazing at coloring too, real soft, but still makes the characters pop, i'd say more but my brain is short-circuiting from all this analyzing. Shes just all round incredibly talented and creative honestly. Her style is exactly what i wanted to have as a kid and what im striving to have now. So cuteee

So far 11/10 art style, love the chibiness, cuteness, expressions, the pure and pastel feel and colors, and details. Just love her in general<3 check out her page lol

2nd:

My ver:

(Art by @clatteringbats )

ref pic:

Ok so immediately off the bat I knew I was gonna have some trouble here since I've been drawing chibis from the very start.

Just from observing her art I alr saw it has a lot of movement in em, lots of dynamic poses, and LOTS of embraces, really just pouring with that fluff/angst energy. At first I tried the anime body guidelines and boom instant error. Though not all that noticable the heads have sum chonk in em, especially the cheeks, giving that cute factor despite not being a chibi style. Im all for it. The lines are very soft, not a lot of sharp edges and if there are theyre placed in a very subtle way. The expressions are wonderful: from a subtle hopeless smile from an overwhelming roar of grief and anger, she's mastered the the art of slight details that give these effects their magic. Her lines are sketchy but not messy (does that make sense) they clump together neatly, giving the illustration clarity.

AND OMG HAVE YOU SEEN HER ANIMATICS? THE MOVEMENT, THE PACING, THE SMOOTHNESS, THE INTERACTIONS, THE EMOTIONS, THE EVERYTHING. THEYRE SO AAAA ITS LIKE A PROFESSIONAL STORYBOARD FOR A TV SHOW.

The way she uses color too— just o h m y g o d .

Her colors are so bright and clear, so nicely blended together, so bold, but not in the way that burns your eyes, she keeps them neutral in a way, that envokes that sense of harmony; like a sunset. (I legit have one of her colored artworks as my wallpaper) I have lots more to observe, but so far this is all I have to say. The skill of overflowing

Anways, back to the task at hand. I made the heads bigger than i shoulda , cause well chibi artist ehe. Again, I blame my chonk pencil. I didn't get the embrace quite right, but Ion think I could level with the queen of LITERALLY DRAWING TEARJERKING HUGS LIKE? I tried with the hands, I swear. I knew they were a little small but only now am I realizing its that way cause I made the heads too big. I wanna try drawing more in her style as its really just full of movement and flowiness, I wanna try mastering the way she draws perspectives too. I noticed for perspective shots theres this grid for the sky and ground (which is genius) will try that out when I actually pick up digital art again.

Check out her page, theres lots to see shes amazing 11/10 artstyle<3

The Universe saw fit to grant me a ring today.

I attempted to make an offering into the gods of The Lost And Found but, because it was so tarnished as to be mostly patchy black, I was told “just keep it”

But I have some silver flatware at home that I picked up from the thrift when the ferrets were being Fork Dragons^1, and as part of cleaning I researched and tried several methods of cleaning off tarnish. The baking soda paste one is great when I’m in the mental place for a brain-vacuous scrubby stim, but today I went with the I Am Impatient method of lining a bowl with aluminum foil, filling it with hot water, and adding a combo of baking soda and salt and then letting it sit for like half an hour

I shoulda taken a Before pic, womp womp. Anyway check out my new ring with the amber cabochon that didn’t fracture when I put it in hot water.

^1 separate tale, someone gimme a gold star for not self-derailing

[queen-mabs-revenge]

ok this is def a 'you can see the demographic of this site aging' post but like...did you know that you have to buy pillow inserts at a bigger size than the pillow covers??? did you????

because i had to replace some pillow inserts and my apparently foolish ass thought 'oh 22" pillow covers -- clearly i buy 22" pillow inserts' and ohhhhnonono that way lies soggy sad floppy pillows!

so bc i dragged a giant bag of 4 pillow inserts on public transport once and i'm not fucking doing it again, i just used some old bedsheets i had around to make three 24" inserts, ripped open the too-small ones and split the fourth one into thirds to make up for the increased space et voilà

shoulda taken a pic of them before but rest assured these are the grapes to the raisins they were

WIP WEDNESDAY

got tagged by @aggravateddurian ! <3

again only writing:

Cyberpunk 2078 — Pandemonium:

Technically I can already start layouting the 2nd chapter as the written part is 100% done, but I am still missing some VP where I have to place Hizumi, Vijay and Ryder in the Afterlife and, ofc I am either too lazy to do that or I just forget about it bc I distract myself with other stuff (that also wants to be done). But as soon as I get to it you can expect the 2nd chapter! At least for those who are interested in it.

New pinned post coming soon:

I am about to make a new pinned post, yes it will be a brand new post but contain more or less the same my current one has. I just wanted to refresh my boys profiles, tweak the formatting a little and make them a bit better readable but they won't differ much from the current ones. I'll exchange the profile pics with given time tho as I'm not satisfied with most pics but have no time to throw each after another into the game just to get the perfect pic for it.

About Blorbos:

I am trying to sort out/clean up my boys' wardrobes. E.g. I noticed Thyjs has too much stuff and from every piece like up to 3 versions. I force myself to get it down to one piece, which doesn't work all the time, but I slowly get there. When he's done I'll have to do the same with the other boys thow Ryder is the most unproblematic of all as there's only one iteam in black for him in the first place of most mods.

I don't want them to wear all the same clothes unless it's basic stuff or shoes. I also try to get rid of most replacers unless it's stuff that hasn't been made as xl yet or need to be kept for color reasons and what not. It takes me so long because I also clean up my folders where I storage their original files as well sorting out those I have taken out. You know each of my boys has their own save file. I am also renaming some files to have a better overview as bru I tell you thjys is close to 300 mod files.

Chrome Chamber Rave concept:

Prepared some posts already but I am hesitating to push the post button bc my brain is stupid telling me shit I shall not listen to.

that's all for now. I promise next wip post will contain some pics or sth cooler than just text! I don't like it either.

Its late, im tired at work, not thinking straight, remembering that time last week i was greeter and doodled Clover (Clover from Undertale Yellow (Clover (justice))) and like that was xool i shoulda taken a pic

[miscling]

miscling valentine

so here's the results of all the hearts i've had drawn on me today. a lot kinda got smudged over the day (shoulda taken pics as i went, i'm learning this for next time!) i probably shoulda put more on my front rather than my thighs, too, but here we are ^^

thank you everyone who sent me asks to draw more hearts!

[TL] Howling at the Stars/Chapter 2

Kaoru: So? Are there any photos that stand out to you?

Koga: How about this one? You can see a glimpse of my rock-ness.

Kaoru: A glimpse…? It screams “I love rock”.

What do you think about this one? It’s not really candid, but… it’s a cute photo.

Koga: We already decided no! I ain’t lookin’ for cuteness~!

Kaoru: Mm okay…if you insist.

Hnng~...well it’s already late, let’s stop for today.

Koga: Oh yeah… that’s my bad, Hakaze-senpai. I made ya come with me today ‘n then just complained the whole time.

Kaoru: It’s fine, don’t worry about it. Besides, I did this to help you with your Feature Live.

Because if you don’t like it now, you won’t have a good live.

Koga: Yeah, thanks Hakaze-senpai. But I didn’t think it would be this hard t’take candid photos…

Kaoru: Well, we both might have different definitions of what classes as candid.

I wanted to capture more of “everyday Koga-kun” but I’m getting the feeling you want to appear cool all the time.

Koga: Huh? Are you complimentin’ or insultin’ me?

Kaoru: We’ll go with complimenting. I think it’s just part of being an idol and being a professional.

So what’s next on the agenda, Koga-kun?

I’m going to grab a snack and then go back to the dorms, you wanna come with?

Koga: …Nah, thanks anyway.

I can’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout it all. Maybe the night air will smack some sense into me.

Kaoru: Alright then. Don’t stay out too late, okay? I’ll see you later.

Koga: (...What’s my ‘natural stance’? Is it not just lookin’ cool?)

GyahhhHH! I don’t get anythin’! What the fuck am I supposed t’be doin’!?

…Huh? Who just poked me on the shoulder?

Anzu?! What are you doin’ loiterin’ around at this time of night?

You’re havin’ a break~? The hell are you still workin’ for?

You’ve almost finished so it doesn’t matter~? When are you leavin’? You’re not plannin’ on walkin’ home alone, are you?

Jesus, man. Tell me when you’re goin’ home. I’ll wait for you.

If you think it’s bad for me t’wait for you then you shoulda finished earlier. Walkin’ home at night alone ain’t good.

…Whilst we’re here ‘n you’re on break, can I speak t’ya for a sec?

It’s about the candid shots for the Feature Live pamphlet. How’d everyone else do?

I asked Hakaze-senpai t’help me out today but I still don’t really get it.

–Ah, right. Others had trouble with it too.

Thanks for tellin’ me that, Anzu. It’ll be a good reference for later.

But I really need t’sit down ‘n have a proper think about it…

Hm? Hey, Anzu. Look at the sky. That’s pretty amazin’!

Didn’t think I’d ever see so many shootin’ stars. Didn’t realise this was supposed t’be today, either.

…? Oi, Anzu. Are you even listenin’ t’me?

(...No reply from Anzu, the bastard. Far too focused on the sky. Tch, makes them look like a brat with the stars twinklin’ in their eyes.)

If yer so fascinated by the stars, why don’t ya make a wish?

Hm…It’s no fun just wishin’ for somethin’ to come true. Only you can make your dreams come true.

…What. What’s with that look?

Why did I just suddenly say that? ‘Cos you was lookin’ at the stars ‘n it just made me think.

Tch…Whatever. It’s nothing. Forget I even said anythin’.

...

…Earlier, Hakaze-senpai said he wanted to take pictures of someone like you.

Don’t make that face, Anzu! I’m talkin’ ‘bout candid pictures.

If I had a camera, I woulda taken a picture of you lookin’ at the stars.

Haa? You woulda taken a pic of my smug face when I said “only you can make your dreams come true”?!

Didn’t I tell you to forget about me sayin’ that! Stop with the teasin’!

…Huh? You’re not teasin’?

If you’d captured my face earlier, the fans woulda love it? Do ya think so, Anzu?

U-Uh, right… ‘course. Well, if you say so I can try again.

…Anyway, back to what I was sayin’. I spent all day thinkin’ about what a candid ‘me’ photo would be.

I think yer face just a second ago woulda been a good candid. But I dunno how I’m supposed t’do it.

I want my fans t’see a cool side of me. Whatever it’s called, it’s troublin’ me.

So that’s why my Feature Live’s gonna be jam packed with all the things I find cool.

I don’t want the pamphlet to just be boring ol’ me, but showin’ a cool me too.

That’s why they wanted them to be candid photos…

…Huh? Why don’t I try changin’ the direction of the project?

It’s my live so I should do things that I wanna do?

Hehe, thanks for listenin’ to me be selfish, Anzu. Talkin’ to ya was real good ♪

I somehow feel lighter now. It’s a good feelin’, the night air.

…Hm? Oh, there’s more shootin’ stars. Am I wishing for my live to go well?

I told ya to forget what I said, but it wasn’t exactly a lie.

Like I said, only you can make your dreams come true. So I’m not wishin’ for anythin’.

…But it would be totally rock to say it out loud.

Oi stars! My wish is that fools all around the world have their souls shaken by my rock music!

No matter where you are, I’ll make sure no-one can ignore my performance! That’s what I want out of my live!

Hehe… you’re givin’ me a weird look. C’mon, say somethin’ with me.

I need Anzu to make my dreams come true. You ready or what? ♪

Abandoned computer I found on Sunday i shoulda taken (electro)cute(d) pics on it

[myrammmortal]

Chapter 20, another day of being a walking clothesrack

AN: I sed I dnoty ker wut u fink! stof pflamin ok prepz!1 fangz 2 raven 4 da help!1 oh yah btw ill be un vacation in transilvania 4 da nex 3 dayz so dnot expect updatz.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX666XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

All day I wondered what the surprise was. Meanwhile, I pot on a blak ledder hotpants, a blak corset with urple lace stuff all over it, an black gothic compact boots. Die Woodys were gong 2 do the concert again, since Volxemort had taken over the last one. I slit my wrists while I moshed 2 MCR in my bedroom all night, feeling excited. Suddenly someone knocked on the door while I was trying on sum black clothes and moshing to Fang u 4 da Venom. I gut all mad and turned it of, but sacredly I hopped inside dat it was Richard so we could do it again.

“Wut de fucking hell r u doing!” I shouted angrily. It was Loopin! “R u gonna cum rape me or what.” I yelled. I was allowed to say dat because Till had told us all 2 be careful around hem and Flake since he was a pedo.

“No, actshelly (geddit, hell) kan I plz burrow sum condemns.” he growld angrily.

“Yah, so u can fuk ur six-yr-old gurlfriend, huh?” I shouted sarkastikally.

“Fuker.” He said, gong away.

Well anyway, I put on some black eyesharow, black eyeliner, and some black lipstick and white foundation. Then I went. Den I gasped…………………………………………………………….Flake and Loopin were in da middle of da empty hall, doin it, and Dobby was watching!1

“Oh my god you ludacris idiot!” they both shooted angrily when they saw me. Dobby ran away crying. Dey got up, though. Normally I wood have ben turned on (I luv cing guyz do it) but both of them were fuking preps. (btw snake is movd 2 griffindoor now)

“WTF is that why u wanted condoms?” I asked sadistically. (c I speld dat)

“Only you wouldn’t give them to me!” Lumpkin shouted angrily.

“Well you shoulda told me.” I replayed.

“You dimwit!.” Flake began 2 shoot angrily. And then………I took out my black camera and took a pic of them. U could see that they were naked and everything.

“Well xcuse me!” they both shouted angrily. “What was dat al about?”

“It wuz to blackmail u.” I snarked. “So now next time you see me doing it with my boyfriend you cant fuking rat me out or I’ll show dis to Till. So fuck off, u bastards!” I started to run. They chased me but I threw my wound at them and dey tripped over it. Well anyway, I went outside and there was Vampire, looking extremely fucking hot.

“WTF where’d Richard?” I asked him.

“Oh he’s bein a fucking bastard. He told me he wouldn’t cum.” Vampire said shaking his hed. “U wanna cum with me? 2 the concert?”

Then….. he showed me his flying car. I gasped. It was a black car. He said his dogfather Serious Blak had given it 2 him. The license plate on the front sed MCR666 on it. The one on da back said ‘ENOBY’ on it.

……….I gasped.

We flew to the concert hall. Die Woodys were there, playing.

Vampire and I began 2 make out, moshing to the muzik. I gapsed, looking at da band.

I almost had an orgasim. Pascal was so fucking hot! He begin 2 sing ‘Fichtl's lied’ and his sexah beautiful voice began 2 fill the hall. ……….And den, I heard some crrying. I turned and saw Richard, cryin in a corner.

Ignoring the saga of weird ass anon

Can we see pictures of chomped apples? Or of the culprit?

I THREW OUT THE APPLES ALREADY THATS SO SAD I SHOULDA TAKEN A PIC

[fainthedcherry]

PARAMORE RELEASED THEIR A24 TRIBUTE COVER TODAY. AND I GOT INSPIRED BY THE LYRICS AND THE VISUALIZER.

IMAGE CREDITS BC VERY OBVIOUSLY THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL PIC COLLAGE PIECE PRIMARILY BELOW DESC (I DID NOT TAKE THE COOL PICS OBV.)

OK GIANT CREDIT BLOCK GO (Freepik and pexels my beloved saved my entire college year lmao):

1 OCEAN WAVES

2 OCEAN WAVES AGAIN

3 YES A THIRD OCEAN WAVE

4 VERY COOL DROPLETS

5 FLAME. OO FIRE PRETTYYY /POS

6 BG I CHEATED YOU INTO BELIEVING IS RAIN

The drawing though is made by my acoustic arse /lh

THE LYRICS ARE TAKEN FROM THE VID I LINKED. HAYLEY'S VOICE MY BELOVED AND FOREVER DEAREST ENTIRE BAND /POSPOSPOS. I wanna sing like Hayley so badly, she is such an idol to me, when it comes to vocals and I wish to sing as expressive as her some day 🤧✨💖

--

WHAT MORE CAN I SAY, OTHER THAN I'VE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH SHORT DRAWINGS, THAT TAKE UNDER A DAY TO COMPLETE TO FIGURE OUT SOME THINGS I WANNA DO AS AN ARTIST AND POSSIBLY COMMISSIONS. + These drawings genuinely kinda de-stress so it's been free therapy too, oops. I wanna do more of these vector-style drawings, that are just me taking lyrics and creating these fun collages, of things that inspire me or I like. It's a chill practice and lets my creativity actually do the work for once, instead of my usual need to outdo myself in every drawing and improve lmao. Improvement is cool and all, but dear god did I not realise how hard my need for perfection last year stress and strangle me tf out. I seriously need to re-evaluate the way I approach art as this massive, intimidating medium, when most artists literally draw for fun, and for me it's been like...A Sisyphean task.

--

If you enjoyed seeing this, I might make a sequel with C'est Comme Ca and w/ Marco in it instead and a red BG,, if I want to, I might turn these into a series, just like those aesthetic icon drawings I made of my 2 boys, started Lotta, and IMMEDIATELY lost that sketch due to my USB's death back in 2022 and lost all motivation for art due to that massive loss /neg

--

Not sure what else to add here other than my thoughts that I already did!! Other than ofc, the usual, MASSIVE thank you to my friend Hollowed-Hartlocke for introducing me to Paramore back in 2019 <3

Think I'm done rambling now tho!! OH WAIT. I can add, that I had to actually pull out Adobe Illustrator just to add stretched text for aesthetic purposes. Then I got so impatient with the effects panel not showing me the usual layer-effects and me being too lazy to look up, whether InDesign was the one, that had the usual layer effects I use in an Adobe program or not. Btw still mooching off my college acc that shoulda been dead long ago but just isn't??? LMAO I'M STILL GONNA USE IT IF I CAN ALRIGHT.

OH YEAH BTW. This drawing took 3 hours. NO I'M NOT KIDDING. PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY BE SHOCKED THAT SUCH A LAZY LOOKING PIECE TOOK SO LONG. BUT I GENUINELY AM RATHER SHOOK THAT I TOOK SUCH LITTLE TIME TO CREATE THIS. TBF I threw MOST proportion checks and canvas flips I do out the window, so there's a BIG chance I will hate this, if I flip the canvas xD ANYWAY I RAMBLED LONG ENOUGH I THINK NOW. JUST ENJOY EXPERIMENTAL ART

^Before-bed edit; Yeah his torso's a TAD too much leaning to the left, it's off-center to the rotation of his pelvis to be in fact, but maybe? I'll roll with this mistake. It kinda gives the piece its abstract nature..I kinda like the mistake?? This is the first time in my life I ever tolerated a mistake I did and now declare it on purpose and will probably build one into the next piece as well. Hell, maybe it'll yield an interesting result. Anyway, it's 12PM as I write this, and I have to get up at 4AM for my train soOooo, yeah, gotta sleep ASAP for school.

I have NO clue again what to 100% accurately tag this, so forgive me if the tags are wrong LMAO, I just will believe what I believe it has overlaps w/ within art-genre.

This piece kiiinda gives pop art??? So I'm gonna tag it as such as well, but but might be incorrect. If a pop-art enjoyer wants to correct me, PLEASE DO. I'm going off the definitions of pop-art I learned in high-school. So I could most def be wrong about me adding this tag in particular. How tf do people confidently tag their posts when I doubt almost every tag I add man. Tagging is the worst part of uploading art to me due to how hard it is to label art really, not meant to be in a genre. xD

Def adding Paramore tags tho bc I NEED to know more Paramore fans out there bc we feel like such a tiny community, when they're literally one of the most influential rock bands of the 2000s and 2010s imho AUGH

[bi-rezi]

shoulda taken a pic before I took my boots off but I like this outfit
