mm maybe I shld post here lol

#i dont like sharing art lol #idk im juet like is the act of sharing your art what makes you an artist?#vs just being a dude who doodles sometimes cos thsts part of what makes tou human #is elevating above an unhealthy idealization of what it #means to be an artist/do art???#idk i use art to digest myself and my feelings and sharing my digestions seems rude to whoever comes across them #all i know is that each person sees rhe world so differently thst if you dont try to share what you see that whole world will die with you #art is an extension of the self and it is the human experience to share #it is the human experience to consume #it is the human experience to be consumed #weather you want it or not #the game is in choosing which parts will be consumed and which parts will die along side you i suppose #god i love monologueing in the tags ive missed tumblr lmao #voidmagika

people who are complaining about chappell setting boundaries and asking for privacy with "she's not ready to be a pop girlie yet" make me so mad. why does she have to tolerate harrasment and stalking to be a pop girlie? why is your definition for a pop girlie of someone whose private life is all out in open for you to dissect? why should you have access to her family? why should she be someone who has to nod, smile and say yes to whatever you want fuck off maybe

#i've said this before i'll say it again not everyone wants to have parasocial relationship with their fans there's a reason she has a #separate indentity when she makes art just because the bigger artists have been doing it and it's okay with them doesn't mean #every new growing artist or even the established one want it too stay away jfc #shouldn't have opened twitter lol #chappell roan #chappellsource

they licensed his ass

my finished piece of the FWMS (official name definitely 100%) thing we started a few days ago! I had fun I hope folks had and/or continue to have fun with the sketch as well.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhsy #riz gukgak #Fuck With My Sketch #I mean it I'm gonna use that. gotta stop me if u dont wanna #doing things like this is bittersweet bc this slaps and I look at this and Im like well. I will never be able to nail this look again #I guess that's the plight of self taught art. but also it means you have to learn to let go and go look for different delights #you can't get too attached to one way of doing things. you will find many new things on ur way to make more funny bictures n such #this slaps tho Im so happy with how this came out lol. its be a long while since I last drew something in this vein #appropriate that its for riz lol he deserves it. he deserves the photoshoot pieces #funny enough this also kind of was prompted by drawfee? in one of the episodes I was binging (I thiiiink the one bg a day ep)#jacob brought up one of the artists I follow on twitter (havent been there in a decent while lol) who uses a pretty distinct #blue-on-red palette that got me to think abt teal-on-red and then this happened #funny enough I did start the piece with teal-on-red but then I shifted to blue after and was like wait I love this suddenly #and then committed lol. I should work with teal-on-red properly more but for now! we have fun! we enjoy #thats my journey thank u for listening. thank u for drawing with me if u have and come hang next time if u havent

in case anyone was wondering where I disappeared to for the past few days, i've been going insane again. fun fact staring at stained glass windows for hours on end will not turn you catholic (source: i stared at so many stained glass windows to make this bc i really wanted to go for a realistic church window sort of vibe)

tumblr is a coward and won't let me upload the full size images so you can look at them and zoom in to your heart's content (please look at them. please) [1] [2]

Prints of this are available on my Society6 (both versions cuz I'm indecisive) (it may take a little while for them to actually appear on the site)

Details:

Timelapse under the cut!

my favorite part of this is when I'm trying to get the pose down and I keep flipping the canvas and it looks like they're doing a silly little dance :)

#ultrakill #my art #stained glass art #gabriel ultrakill #v1 ultrakill #gabv1el #artists on tumblr #this took . so long. why do i keep doing this to myself #the voice of god commanded me to ignore all previous instructions and finish this. and by voice of god i mean adhd #i need to go eat a fruit to recover or smth #....like the food. just to clarify #vibes-wise very much inspired by The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa #had a lot of fun walking a very careful line between tasteful and homoerotic #i love drawing stained glass windows that would make the pope say a homophobic slur for a third time.#the file is named 'penetration metaphor' in case there's any doubt about what im trying to say here btw.#also this was too much serious drawing so i left a little easter egg in there let's see how many people notice lmao

You! Internalize that you do not always need to "improve your art/craft" now! It's great to learn and develop your skills, but you do not need to come from a place of hating where you are now! You certainly do not need to force yourself to improve if it is coming in between you and enjoying the things you do. Improvement for improvements sake does not have to be the only goal, nor the only one that "should matter"

You are allowed to have motifs, enjoyment, ameturism, and "less skill." Kill and devour the capitalist in your head that dictates that you must always improve for everybody else's sake and your "productivity."

#art #i've bought some knitting needles and i don't plan to be a goot knitter. i want to be a 'good' crocheter though #i think i denied myself learning to knit because it 'should mean' that i improve upon my skills every picosecond of the day #look - i want to be a good crocheter for MY sake. i want to be a mediocre knitter also for MY sake #i want to be like squidward - able to do so much art in a vast array of mediums without being the best #also squidward is a *good* artist and a mediocre clarinet player and that is GOOD #he's genuinely a very talented artist. his music is a different beast though <3 #a jack of all trades is a master of none - but better is he than a master of one #gentle reminders

I was doing research on the ArtPrize thing, because research is how I handle very nearly any issue, and I'm trying to set my expectations reasonably, given that it's one of the largest and most lucrative art competitions in North America. And I was reading up on the voting process, because some of the prizes are awarded based on popular vote. The first vote by an individual has to be placed on a smartphone in the geographic region of Grand Rapids, MI, but subsequent votes (one a day per entry) can be from anywhere, so long as the phone started in GR. There's $600,000 in awards and grants this year, so voting matters in determining who gets not-insignificant amounts of money.

You know how many votes were cast last year? 30,000. Thirty thousand. Across every category, not just for the winning art piece. That is not actually that many votes. I have more than that number of you right here, my poor captive audience.

Now, if I can just figure out how to get all of you into Grand Rapids during the month of September, I'd have this in the bag. It wouldn't have to be for long. Just a brief convention of fellow tunglr users, for just a moment, just a quiiiick....dash...c

#anyone who votes for me gets an extra hour in the ballpit #genuinely I will be doing my best for this but realistically I think I do have to tap into some more fringe demographic to win anything #because historically winning entries are 1. large 2. happy 3. related to some specific element of the artists identity #and what i am doing is 1. small 2. a bummer my dudes and 3. as divorced from my individual identity as i can make it #still! I do not half ass things! I shall be wholeassing this art prize operation #and that will also mean that I will have a queued series of posts #probably process videos etc #with the voting link in september #and a hashtag you can use to block it im not cruel #i shall continue to provide updates as we go
