I don't know what's better or worse

The projects I can't really do anything with because the base concept and scope simply lie outside of my field of skill (Citadel Of Splinters or Re-Pioneer, which are games; and Black Lotus or [Minigun Angel Project], which are meant to be manga)

Or the projects I can work on easily but just haven't gotten as far with as I should due to procrastination and lack of focus (Metroid Silence, Magical Girl Parallel Inversion, retooling Magical Girl Diurnal Retribution away from its original badly-considered format, The Forbidden Lands, etc.)

Or the one that legitimately straddles the line between, it's doable but is gonna take a lot of effort and branching out: [Yuri Otome Project]

#not a reblog #citadel of splinters is basically the poster child for the stuff #that is cool to think about but simply outside my scope #being a big 3D first-person metroidvania #with a focus on parkour and bullet hell mechanics #like that's the kind of shit that would take a studio to pull off #or at the very least an indie team #re-pioneer wouldn't be as demanding in a physics sense #but still of the kind of mechanical depth and scope that I couldn't do it alone #and black lotus and minigun angel project #not only need me to get way better/faster/more consistent at drawing #but I'd want them to be in a specific art style #so its like #probably better to just find an artist #and have money on hand and scripts ready idk #point is those are kinda stalled for a reason #but it still feelsbad.png #meanwhile the rest also feel bad but because with those #I have no such excuses other than poor self-management #so *shrug*

zedaph!!! coloured pencil n fineliner :D ngl i rly struggled w getting a photo of this one .. i ended up scanning it but i think it washed out a lot of the pencil detail n ended up looking like i deep fried it lmao. u will all just have to trust me when i say this looks better irl

#i rly enjoyed the process of this drawing but i don't love the final version... but i had fun so who cares!!#i rly wanna get better at doing coloured pencil stuff i find it so hard for some reason .. i think the colour theory side of it trips me up #trying to learn media that relies on your knowledge of colour theory is a Struggle as a colourblind artist lmaooo #anyways i love zedaph's videos so much he is utterly insane and i am obsessed. watching him break the boundaries of the game is so fun #his videos r just so enjoyable he is so easy to watch n he comes up with the most deranged ideas yet somehow always makes it work #i love how he gameifies everything it just adds another layer of challenge (and therefore satisfaction) to the game #his mind is truly. so unique... that sounds like an insult but i swear it isn't #i want to study him in a lab #he would probably study me back #horsemeat gallery #zedaph #zedaph fanart #zedaphplays #hermitcraft #horsemeatluvr does hermitaday #hermitaday

got to see the total eclipse in person!!! heres some art commemorating that! cuz getting to watch 2 celestial bodies make out sloppy style was inspiring what can i say, also it was just rlly beautiful and cool and amazing to get to see ghg- but also! its like?? basically the moon finally getting the suns undivided attention... and thats got some vibes to it,, some energies... that i could not ignore lol.

#original art #eclipse #solar eclipse 2024 #total eclipse #doodles #original #artists on tumblr #ok sorry these r probably kinda sloppy looking. 1 paintings very difficult.#and 2. my brain wouldnt let me work on other shit before finishing these but i have other shit i NEED TO DO #so im deciding they r now finished i dont wanna spend any more time on them lol #i think they turned out ok tho #i recorded the process of me drawing them too so #there might..be a speedpaint. possibly #last time i said a picture would get a speedpaint was like 2 years ago and it didnt get one cuz my computer hated me lol #but! i have a new computer now...#if i find the time / energy to make that speedpaint.. then there might be a speedpaint #we shall see lol #i kno the height difference i gave them isnt acurate at all to actual sizes. the sun is bigger #but... this is what i wanted to draw gghgh-#if it makes u feel any better i did come up w a headcanon while drawing that they can just shapeshift freely n be whatever heights they wan #right now the moons just taller #cuz i said so #also sorry they kinda resemble my tak and gaz a bit… that wasn’t intentional… I just wanted the moon to be gothy and the sun be spiky #but #they kinda do look a bit like them ghg-

society if dc hired a writing team of colour who could acknowledge the racial coding of starfire & raven, explore vic's status as a Black man in modern america who's specific disability further means his body is going to be read a certain way by certain people no matter what he does, along with potentially finding a way to sort through the racisim + fetishization that went into prior depictions of dick's heritage:

#i say team as i think team books would probably benefit from more co-writers anyway. allows for more perspective. also pays more artists.#also i think a prior lack of racial sensitivity on the part of major corporations calls for paid opportunity to- for lack of better terms #because i'm stoned & can't find them- fix the fucking mess of it all #there's so much you could do irt to sociopolitical commentary if you just hired the right fucking people. i'm so over this jesus fuck.#dc #ntt #teen titans #the titans #like and even ignoring that there's so much you could do with the idea of friendships & teams as communities if the job was given to #someone who actually fucking CARED about any of those things.#anti tom taylor #legit if i see anyone on the dash praising it i will lose all respect for their opinions.#this man is worse than every insta poet put together and we could have had SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER.#cis white guys write the most absolute crap-paper worthy at best stories&comic companies are just like ''here go. fuck up even MORE stuff''#am angry #if you see the version of this post with a typo just say nothing. yes my brain was just going ''why why why why'' that hard.

#my art #fanart #one piece #ocs #one piece oc #trafalgar family tree #trafalgar vicker #as i was applying the base colors i realized/remembered that how i came about finding my spike color palettes was by just #color picking from my law/lami/vicker drawings #and i think thats amazing.#anyways #tried a new way of shading...probably wont try it again but who knows!!#every so often i remember vicker and think ''wow. i love that guy.'' and then i draw him and i want to punch him.#anyways vic ilysm. vic ily.#oh fun fact about the original doodle page this sketch came from:#drawing him made me more comfortable with the idea of drawing wolfwood because ultimately i could just #change the head and it would be wolfwood. (<- same face syndrome artist.)#and that i did indeed doodle those vickers so i could work up to drawing wolfwood. shoutout vicker sorry youre dead.#vicker ily. smooches him. smooches him.#ps. i am a true blue trafalgar law believer however making vic blue feels weird. visually i think he looks better with black hair tbh.

aghhhh:(

#I wish I had known about bt when atsushi was still around:( like #getting into them so much has been like a source of happiness and comfort this year #but then I feel kind of bad because the reason I found out about them is because someone died #for a while it was just one of those things that’s like yeah #sometimes an artist dies and that’s how you find out about their stuff #and it’s nice for people to continue discovering and loving someone’s art after they’re gone #but I’ve been feeling more sad about that lately #like I’ve never found a band that’s just felt so much like My thing before #there’s plenty of bands and songs I love but #I’ve never really gotten this obsessed or invested in a specific band #so part of me wishes I had discovered them sooner or heard about them under better circumstances #and not cause I happened to be scrolling through tumblr during work and #saw goth blogs I follow posting memorial stuff #it feels kind of spooky and morbid too because I had been #thinking lately I wanted to find some goth bands from japan #if I had actually gotten around to doing the research I probably would have started listening to them #so it was weird timing #and I was showing my dad the climax together tour and he was kind of #lamenting that he had never heard of them when he was younger because he would have gotten so into their music #like. ah if my dad had any exposure to japanese rock when he was younger #I definitely would have grown up listening to a lot of buck-tick #and der zibet too probably #I was watching dz concert videos late last night #and issay was so cute and lively and full of energy #and then I thought about how he died in some accident and I started feeling upset #especially since one of my favorite movie actors died in a pretty horrific freak accident #it’s like I’d rather just not think about what might’ve happened (since there weren’t really public details)#anyway I’m just kind of like. having complicated feelings about all of it #different than sadness and grief I’ve felt over artists in the pass since it was all postmortem that I knew about them

getting better at drawing when you’re not trying for realism is kinda funny bc it’s like wow now my art looks even MORE like the exact midpoint between old-school disney and late 2010s anime. i didn’t think it was possible and yet i’ve done it again. inspiring

#and soon? even More.#there’s also the additional layer of not being able to explain what about my art is better than it used to be #like idk what to tell u it’s just better now. all my old stuff is crap compared to this. leaps and bounds #source: dude trust me #tbh i think my artistic abilities probably seem much more consistent from an outside pov #bc i never want to draw anything i can’t draw #like if i TRIED to draw that cuteguy stoplight drawing a few months ago it would have looked terrible #but i wouldn’t have tried bc i wouldn’t have wanted to bc i couldn’t you see #that’s the thing about art it never feels any easier #if you start out frustrated by your skill falling short of your vision guess what #your vision will continue to improve as you gain skill and that frustration never goes away #but it also never feels any harder #my first experience with drawing was being pleasantly surprised to find my skill slightly exceeded my aspirations #(i was 3 and my aspirations were draw a duck)#and you know what. to this day the pleasant surprise remains #what i’m saying is dream small stay in your comfort zone and do not strive for great things #cannot recommend complacency enough #this isn’t sports you don’t get gains through effort you get gains and then the effort happens on accident #don’t listen to me i probably don’t know what i’m talking about #but i AM having more fun drawing than you so maybe i’m onto something #impossible to say #i’m certainly not smart enough to figure that out i’m an idiot have you seen the kind of advice i give #mumbling

I am rotating Light so hard in my head rn girlies who just straight up fucking torture ppl cause she can

#rat rambles #rain posting #oc posting #I <3 iterator gore and body horror if I was a better artist Id draw the horrors shes inflicted on some of these poor bastards #Im also brainstorming ideas for some more iterator ocs both so I can have more iterator ocs who arent chronically offline and so that I can #make them be some of lights victims and put them through some truly horrific shit #light vc omg haiii I saw you noticed some of the organisms I pumped into your bloodstream finally Ive been waiting sooo long to show this #stuff off so feel free to give mild resistance to my demands so I have an excuse to permanently disfigure your puppet :3 #I have one girlie vaguely conceptulaized and some vague ideas for the sort of roles I want the others to have in their lil friend group but #its all still very very vague concepts Ill have to brainstorm some more to get more solid ideas for them #in the meantime Ive also been thinking of some potential unparalleled innocence hc stuff #nothing super concrete but I am slowly building some new hcs that will relate to the tortured girlie I have some ideas for #but yeah I had a blast telling my friends abt synchronized light today and getting my intended reaction of aw thats cute that turns into #horror as I progress down the timeline #my intent with these two is for them to initially come across as rly fun and cute and just generally very easy to connect to only for the #immediate second layer to their characters to fucking evicerate all of those feelings #also parasite horror is both some of my favorite (cause its horrifying) and least favorite (cause I can get legitimately paranoid) shit #and just the image of being an iterator and realizing that there is malicious shit inside of you that you werent able to immediately detect #is so delightfully fun to me especially considering how vulnerable a lot of these iterators probably already felt just letting the #construction and repairs happen only to find out that that vulnerability Was abused horrifically and that its far too late to stop it #anyways I need to go talk to myself in the shower to brainstorm some more lol

looking up info on keloid scarring is so helpful. thanks man I didn't think of trying that one

#well actually that kind of is relevant bc ive been trying to find more info abt tattooing keloid prone skin #which is effectively opting to wound urself. but everywhere is just like if ur keloid prone ummm. Don't do it 👍#theres not enough known abt keloids to predict if theyll be triggered or not by the healing process like it depends on so many things #i mostly get them from acne scars. but they dont always immediately appear sometimes its weeks or months after #n once u get them theyre permanent. treatments for them have a 100% rate of recurrence n will grow back bigger if u try to excise them #and they cant be tattooed over like other scars bc they dont hold ink n the irritation can cause them to get bigger too #it depends a lot on the tattoo artists skill/experience ig like u have to know Exactly how deep ur tattooing + how the wound will heal #bc if healing triggers keloids. well ill just end up with permanent scarring instead theres nothing i can do if it happens #which honestly might still look cool but its unpredictable bc they tend to extend past the original wound. n it wouldnt scar uniformly #urgh. i should probably talk to a gp n an actual tattooist abt it. i could ask to get like a rly small tattoo to test how my skin reacts #pointless thinking abt rn anyway cuz im not gonna get one any time soon i have some other shit to sort before that #but it would be so frustrating if i cant i have so many tattoo ideas i do rly want them.... :-(#ah well whatever.. im just procrastinating doing shit i need to crack on bc i cant spend another entire weekend doing nothing #after a month n a half of being on meds i feel like theyre becoming less effective. my task paralysis n focus is getting worse again :(#like its taking more and more effort its been rly noticeable at work. hoping its just bc of general mental health or poor sleep or smth #and not that im building tolerance or smth bc man. what else can i even do if that happens #this is gonna make me miserable to think abt so lets go do smth else!#at least i woke up feeling tons better today 💪💪💪 storm passed baby #.diaries

I'm very proud of myself cause I got back into exercising yet again

it is a moment in which everyone else can and should be very proud of me to

#if you follow me for a longer time you probably noticed that its a cycle #im just horrible with finding motivation to exercise regularly #but i feel so much better when i do some self care exercises and stuff so it's usually in the back of my mind #and i recently heard that pilates is great for artist backpain so i decided to give it a shot #in mh suburban white mom era #its kinda fun #ghostyappsession

Me up at 2:30 AM trying to find a my little pony speedpaint series I liked 5 years ago, scrolling through piles of gore and smut only to find that the artist deleted their account and all their videos...

#the average mlp fan experience #man this reawakened a bit of trauma #the fact that a completely clean artist left the fandom out of shame #probably because they spun characters on a wheel and made fankids of them #but that's not even the cringiest type of thing to me #like okay i'll give it to them that the gore mlp artists are talented #but bro... what's so appealing about mlp?#what draws you like wasps to a juice?#i would like to have a discussion about this #i forget the artist's name but it was something involving light brown foods i think #i feel... loss #mlp #mlp fandom #cw mention of smut #cw mention of gore #just in case #bronies really traumatized a whole generation #but honestly I think we had it better than the next few #what a thing to find when you're barely a teen #thanks internet

So I'm trying to find some fun sticky notes and Japanese stationery is a great place to find like.. cute animal themed ones, botanical ones, pretty pastel colours, weather and sky themed ones...

So I try to find an EU webshop that sells something like that and guess what I found? Beige.

#lunellum personal #ah well it's probably better to find a local small artist anyway #I'm just frustrated by the enbeigification of everything #no hate to beige (okay some hate to beige) but I just want the fun colours! I don't care if it's not considered classy!

Annoyed in a very normal way that his portrait from school is the same length as his hair during the game. Don't worry about what's in the tags I'm sure it's a normal amount of text.
