#make great art

[ikuneko]

Just because your drawing, writing, sewing, or general crafting/art isn't as good as someone else's, doesn't mean it isn't good. You can still make great art without being the best.

I'm being DEAD serious here guys. Make problematic ocs. I'm telling you. It's so much fun. And easier to get invested in them sometimes because they really STICK OUT in your brain. You fall in love with them.

For help developing problematic ocs try out these two methods

Method one: think of a problematic choice your oc will make. This could be; abandoning their children, killing a sibling, siding with the oppressor whatever. Work backwards from there. What are the implications of someone who would make that decision.

Method two: give them a motivation and work forwards from there. For example; they have the motivation to survive no matter what, they need to be the ruler of their society, they will not go against a specific religious/moral code etc. now make sure every decision they ever make is in line with that and crucially put things in their way that'll make them make fucked up decisions to get what they want.

Now! You have! A fucked up oc! And you will love them! I promise

Your media stinks, but that's ok

Hello, friends. I posted this on my blog, but I want to share it here too because it is relevant.

I am here to talk seriously though kindly, as always, about the issue that Hollywood and the video game industry is facing right now. Everyone is throwing their hat into the ring right now, so as an artist and comic connaisseuse myself, I have my own criticism though I want to give it constructively. For context, I think it is great that we are more aware that different people are into a media, so we try to represent those fans who love the media so much. In fact, I think it is very sweet of creators though it should be done right and naturally not shoehorned in. Moreover, you should not alienate or vilify one group of people just to uplift another. Art supposed to be love after all. The root of it all goes beyond the obsession with representation and inclusion though. I think the real problem is that nobody in the professional world wants to be the bad guy when it comes to judging creators. We don't want to turn away people because we don't want to appear bigoted even though we know we're not. We are looking solely at what they are presenting and only judging the piece not the person, not their lifestyle and not who they like to kiss. Our eyes are on the project. I mean, I'm just a fan and I have never ever thought about what Steven Spielberg eats for breakfast, how often he goes to church if at all, how his love is going, how often he exercises, or his parenting style. Nor do I sit there thinking about what any artist does in their private life because it doesn't matter and that is the very point; it does not matter. What matters is whether they are good at their craft or not.

And that circles back to what the real problem with modern media is right now. It's not the obsession with appealing to a modern audience, it is not checking inclusion boxes and it is not the political themes in art because art, especially comics and cartoons, has always been liberal leaning, progressive, showcased the underdog and is politically themed. Just look at Robocop, Rambo, Beverly Hills Cop and even Alien namely the sequel Aliens. The real problem is the quality of what we are getting now. All of the new medias Wish, The Acolyte, and even Starfield, they all had the potential to be great, but they failed because of bad writing, bad storytelling, bad art designs in some cases and bad creative decisions. All this has nothing to do with modernization. It's the bad quality of work combined with over-relying on modernization to cover it up. And it doesn't work that way. THAT, friends, is the real problem. Modern day artists have trouble accepting that they messed up or that they are just not good at working with a specific medium or genre. Or in some cases, some people just stink at making art period. It's nice of people to give them a chance indiscriminately, but it should not be at the cost of holding professional work to a high standard. People are paying for that art, they are getting excited for it and they are spending time on it. They deserve the best version of it, but instead of being allowed to say that we got stinks, we are told to not do that because it is mean. The result doing that though is that we now have a bunch of naked emperors who think they are fabulous, but are actually embarrassing themselves and it's not entirely their fault. It's ours too. The truth will set these people free of their delusions and allow them to genuinely improve their craft and produce great media. Moreover, some people may learn that maybe they're in the wrong line of work and that's ok too. Let them move onto things they are good at. The point is that is that honesty really is the best policy. If we want comics, movies and shows to get better, we have to be better ourselves and not be ashamed of expecting better and asking for better.

If anything, believing that these artists can do better is a good thing because it means we believe in them. I know I do even now.

So. Yknow the whole Soundwave does have a face Hc vs does not have a face?? I was wondering how a no face Soundwave would have applied to a human version of him; and my conclusion is that that boy is NOT normal 🙏 kinda like how TFP Soundwave was intentionally designed to be more alien and freaky looking compared to everyone else I figured well hey. If Soundwave ain’t even normal among Cybertronian standards why should he be normal among human standards? Make him a humanoid 🫵 I haven’t yet fleshed out what he’d look like without the hat tbh so the ears? Might not stay idk. But Ravage and the birds all still love their boy even if he’s a cryptid and Frenzy and Rumble think he’s so cool instead of being unnerved 😌

Someone said “chara jealousy arc” and after thinking about it for one second, I decided that no, they all should be friends :]! /lh

(Context for the first picture just in case, I made a small comic of Papyrus driving with Asriel, he was rather unsuccessful in coming out safely)

(Chara wasn’t in it, they just happen to coincidentally share a hospital room)
