Not sure if this is an odd question - if someone were to draw characters like Machete as humans, is that a thing you'd find amusing/like to see, or do you consider that to defeat the purpose of how you made him?

I ask this as someone who loves your work but is notoriously bad at drawing anthros, but also just because I think the philosophy behind how and why people design characters is very cool.

Have a great day!

I've been asked this a couple of times within past few weeks and I haven't managed to come up with an answer until now.

The thing is, I don't really know what my characters would look like as humans myself, and an overwhelming part of me doesn't want to find out ´v`' I'm not sure if their designs would translate to human form very well at all.

I do appreciate the fact that you asked though! I understand it's agonizing when you want to draw something outside of your area of expertise, it's the same thing with me and making fan art of human characters. I'm sincerely very flattered that you liked my guys enough to consider drawing them. Unfortunately I don't think I'm fully comfortable with humanizations of my characters, at the time at least.

you know, i don't know if i read the inheritance games books as them breaking out of the cycle. avery is different, but she's become wholly encapsulated by the hawthorne family that it's difficult to see the difference. they're all still playing tricks and schemes, they all still live this life of luxury that they thought was going to be taken away from them. skye is gone, okay, but then why does she keep cropping back up? she knows that some things will still stay the same for her, and they do! tobias I is dead, but what did that do? they're going to be perpetually playing his games, it's in their blood, and now they've infected avery with it, too. this whole...golden ticket game. it's giving money away sure (which the hawthornes had already been doing with the foundation far before avery came into the picture), but it's still making people play these games and riddles for a chance at their future, it's still playing with people's lives, whether optional or not. how are they any different from tobias I, how do they not see themselves falling into the same cycle as he was. except now, they're all turning into him. falling in love doesn't change your blood, it doesn't change anything, it can make you worse. avery has....she's not different from them, they say that so many times. life may be good for them, but nothing has actually Changed. sure, jameson and grayson may have changed as characters, but their surroundings? what they do? how is it any different from before, except now instead of being pitted against one another, they are doing it to other people. they are literally recreating what made this whole thing happened in the first place. oh my god. why is this a horror story actually

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

You mean to tell me that Grian actually named his bow “his charm and good looks” canonically with his whole entire grick? You mean to tell me he ACTUALLY killed Scar and it showed up in chat as “Goodtimewithscar was killed by Grian using his charm and good looks” ??? Right in front of every other hermit on this good christian minecraft server??????? What in the homosexuality is going on I thought that was a fan edit,,,,,,

I didn't intend for this to be a full comic, which is why it just kinda ends. Sowwy

riz starting the season by dealing 30 damage with his father’s gun and fabian starting the season by getting hit by a van is absolutely the right foot to get off on

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.
