guys its fuckign jover. was talking about how much i loved wedding ceremonies as a concept and as a childhood dream thing with my friend which spiraled into talking about dream weddings. Like first of all? I need a monster hunter wedding this is non negotiable. I dont know how I'm going to make that work but I am

Secondarily, I was working on like a theoretical wedding dress. Like I'm masculine on all my days but in a wedding? IM WEARING THAT DRESS!!!!! Those wedding swords would be cool as fuck too

[admircot]

forcing myself to make evil choices for the sake of the character but i look like this the whole time cause i’m incapable of being fictionally mean

[mortysmith]

sry not 2 be super self centered but my aged up morty design specifically feels like something that could like actually be in the show or umm idk.

[angeltism]

lapine is currently wondering how annoying she could be about how much they thrive on attention and having people like him without coming across as actually annoying or like xe's venting.. hmmmmm (neutral but also sorta a genuine question but also sorta rhetorical but also-)

[sillycatgriddy]

i can’t ever tell if i’m actually mentally stable or i’ve just convinced myself into fully believing that i am

[nevarroes]

HI i hope this is okay to ask but your anatomy / posing is genuinely so fucking fantastic you’re like my number 1 art inspo rn and i was just wondering where you find references / if you use them or any specific tips you have? happy valentines day to gortcas btw

gosh thank you so much🥺

I do use references yeah always, I honestly try to freehand as little as possible even because it helps me to constantly figure out and learn new things without doing studies (as in I'll always try to find the specific angle of an arm or whatever even if I think I know how it'll look just to make sure)

I find my refs ermm... everywhere really. I spend hours just browsing images sometimes nd file them away cause I don't mind doing so, its kinda fun 2 me💜 the only thing I kinda try to avoid is pinterest due to the fact that it mostly shows the same shit over nd over so there's a lot of repeat and recognizable stuff but I do still use some generic pinterest poses sometimes, nothing wrong with it just a personal preference atp but you do need to kinda.... learn what is good reference and what isn't for pinterest specifically imo😖 Recently I've been taking most of my base reference pics from videos instead of stills tbh, porn, movies, stock videos etc. so I do recommend doing that it's been quite helpful!

as for tips I only have one really, which is that photobashing and mixing refs is really, really helpful. Especially with Gortcas I haven't been able to use a single ref at all anymore due to both of their bodies being rather extreme, meaning you can't just apply average poses usually. So what I'm doing a lot of the times is use a "base ref" to set the angle and then just build on top of that, posed 3d models for limbs or even the whole other person, then photobash some more on top of that with actual images for parts that don't really move realistically with the 3d model, hands, face 3d models etc etc. Usually I will do a rough to kinda see if I can make a pose idea work and then I will make a bash to use as an actual reference after. I hope this helps at all!

Robooty Reviews: Oni To Tengoku (8.9/10) ROBOOTY PERSONAL FAVORITE

(in my heart its a 10/10)

Atsurou Aoki is an english teacher who has some mad fuckin self esteem issues. hes our beautiful pathetic man protag and he ends up tangled up in a relationship of sorts with the school nurse, Manabu Tengoku. Its a dry premise and honestly the first volume requires you to sludge through a lot of average yaoi evil shit but please please please im begging you endure okay. i have been an oni to tengoku-er since 2019 and ive been following the development of the sequel (oni to tengoku sai) and the (now third) sequel (oni to tengoku kyuu) of this series and GOD. ILL BE REAL IM A MANIAC AND PROBABLY GOT A LOT MORE OUT OF THIS SERIES THAN THE AUTHOR INTENDED AT ALL BUT IDGAF PLEASE READ IT PERHAPS YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE SAME ENLIGHTENING AS ME. READ MORE HAS SPOILERS BE WARNED (PART 1 CUZ OF TUMBLR IMAGE LIMIT)

this will be a little different than usual because i have a whole lot to say about aoki and tengoku. Really, a lot of this will be just talking about how and why i like their relationship so if you end up liking this you should most definately read the full manga to experience it for yourself

Despite all the fuckin bullshit of the first volume, the manga is really fucking good at interweving in its core themes and setting up the psychological basis of Aoki. Aoki was abused by his mother as a child, but i think the depiction of abuse is really realistic because even though she whittles down his self esteem and makes him feel worthless she hugs him afterwards and still is motherly towards him, this aoki doesnt hate his mother and fully cut her off per say but she is a demon to him. its pretty realistic imo where parents can do awful things but they buy you a donut and then its like ermm well.. they bought me a donut and do this in my best interest so its okay. Aoki is fucked in the head though. because he doesnt feel like he can be loved deep down and his entire career path is something he chose only because it was expected of him by his family (and his entire life is grasping at straws in an attempt to not disappoint people)

he wants more than anything to just not be an embarassment and be "worthy" of being loved. I like how this is depicted because again it feels more realistic in that he isnt outwardly a freak about it or anything he doesnt have breakdowns in public or anything thats enough to warrent himself to feel like he needs to get help. but he definately does need help of some sort because his way of thinking and the constant guilt and shame he feels is just something thats normal to him now. hes just tired and a bit worn down, but its not like anything is exceptionally bad, since humans are surprisingly adaptable and hes just lived with feeling like hes an embarassment who disappoints people his entire life so its norm.

Tengoku obviously doesnt mean it in the way aoki is taking is. but its things like this that make the themes feel well interwoven to me. Aoki doesnt look tengoku in the eye and say "i have mommy issues and feel like being an embarassment is the reason i cant be loved" but he still shows it in a way that we the audience can see he means, since we can put together aoki's lifestyle and viewpoint from his inner dialogues and flashbacks to his mother's abuse. Aoki wants more than anything else to be a good boy because only good boys can be loved. and unfortunately for aoki san this kind of means he has developed a praise kink and good boy fetish which tengoku just naturally leans towards so erm haha tengoku just pushing those buttons all willy nilly!

Tengoku isnt an idiot though, as he pursues aoki he can definately connect the dots and all that shit for how aoki ticks. This isnt exactly hard to do anyways, since aoki passively talks about himself to tengoku during non crazy scenes and its not like hes an enigma or anything because again, he thinks that the way he lives is completely normal for a guy like him. Tengoku likes aoki and chases him and aoki isnt exactly a willing participant. Tengoku likes aoki because hes a fun plaything and interesting and pure hearted and everything tengoku is not and aoki begins to form an affection for tengoku because he itches the mental illness brain damage spot by pursuing and wanting him consistently and not getting bored.

These panels are true brain damage pages because it hits upon how all aoki wants is for someone to look at him directly and still want him. His greatest wish (that he doesnt even believe could come true at the bottom of his heart) is to have someone that could see him for who he is and despite all his flaws. despite how hes useless, despite how hes not good at anything (to him), despite how hes bad at relationships, despite how he cant talk with other people, and despite what an embarassment he is, still love and want him. Seriously, I must recommend you to read this for yourself. Theres the yaoi bullshit sludge but every chapter has bits and pieces of Aoki's mindset that is an insanely good representation and depiction of how that kind of mentality and acceptance is like.

Volume 2 is where things really pick up. Yaoi sludge has been toned down to make way for FUCKING SWAG!!!! the set up for aoki's mentality is done now were onto getting into the way tengoku and aoki's personalities actually interact with eachother. Along with dipping into tengokus crazy bitch syndrome

Over this volume, were shown that actually aoki and tengoku are a good match for eachother. At least, tengoku provides something special for aoki in that he doesnt know from personal experience the feeling of needing to earn love, but because of that he bounces off well with aoki because he shows basic interest in going "well your feelings and thoughts do matter though. youre a person too". this isnt explicitly said, but its little things liks this that end up making aoki fall in love with him. Aoki falling in love with tengoku is also interesting because this is his first time actively liking someone else because its what he wants, not because its what the other person expects. Despite how terrible their relationship was at first, it set a ground where Aoki was able to create a strong connection with someone without the initial fear of disappointing them since he even didnt like tengoku at first. Honestly with the way Aoki is I think that is why hes able to love tengoku out of his volition, since he already has shown his shameful parts to him and tengoku still wants him-- in fact tengoku is the only person who has seen Aoki's shame and refused to let him go, this lets Aoki take a breather and think about what HE desires for once instead of how to keep someone with him or do whats good for the other person/not shameful.

Also a new teacher is introduced who actually is one of the many guys Tengoku had play-boyed before who became a teacher just so he could try to win tengokus love lol. but he serves as a plot device for that yaoi jealousy arc WOOOHOOOO! I love the jealousy chapter a lot though because BOTH CHARACTERS experience jealousy in their own way. I'm not sure if what Aoki experiences can be classified under jealousy or not, but ill just say it is because thats easier. The chapter is wonderfully done though because see Tengoku has always been the one who chases Aoki but also the one who reminds him that he doesnt fall in love this is just a sex playboy thing. Aoki is the one who has fallen in love and does show this by treating Tengoku specially, but Tengoku obviously doesnt reciprocate this since the way he acts at least is more like Aoki is his favorite of a bunch of toys rather than his one and only like how Aoki sees him. Aoki feels bitterness over this because he wishes he could be loved by Tengoku since Tengoku is somewhat wishy washy and gives Aoki just enough to keep hope but also smushes that hope by refusing a drop more. (this is done though bc this is fucking yaoi ofc tengoku loves aoki to bits and pieces back but tengoku is just scared of liking aoki too much and showing it too much but hold on we havent gotten to tengokus insanity yet jeeeesus christ!). Also im kind of at the tumblr 10 image limit but I think showing these next three pages are really important so ermm me when i post this and then add a reblog or two with MORE BULLSHIT. I'll properly tag the versions with my reblogs

[minecraft]

they should release a new stanley parable game officially where all the marketing and everything serves to hype it up as a serious realistic reimagined sequel to the original but as an action/ exploration/ psycho thriller/ horror fps with no narrator, sprinting and leaning mechanics, vehicles, and skill trees; but when you actually get into the game the narrator is actually present and isn't really sure if you're actually prepared or ready to experience the game yet or if you've properly experienced the original or are educated enough on the themes of narrative tropes in video games and philosophy but most importantly if you've actually memorized the minute details of that one fern that was along the adventure line route. however if you do get all the questions right the narrator uhhm ermm they instead actually follow through on the game as marketed to the point that it feels incredibly weird and wrong in a sense to anyone who played the original version.

[burning-sol]

didnt watch wednesday when it was the thing on here, but i did watch it today because i had some suspicions about a video that came up and yeah. people dont have any media literacy </3

"oh no they brought up social media" yeah, and? compared to other shows wednesday actually does a really good job with it. it doesnt feel dated nor does it feel in your face, its well balanced.

"why is the school of outcasts not nicer to each other?" were you not paying attention. yes the point is that they SHOULD be nice to each other. this isnt an error it was a choice of writing.

"why are they giving the child and parent conflict. i understand why for narrative reasons but theyre meant to be a good family" did u miss the part where they ARE a good family. wednesday was just being a teenager the family clearly loves each other very much.

"omg wednesday brought up the patriarchy ermm doesnt she know people can just choose to be nice?" yes, the point is that she made a comment widely detached from the reality of the situation because she is bad at understanding others.

listen i dont know anything about the addams family, so i cant give commentary on that. but damn people will really be out here picking apart shows for things they completely misinterpreted. anyways things i have been liking about it so far

i am very not intelligent so perhaps this isnt my place to comment but i really like the mystery so far. i like how everything has been flowing into each other, nothing feels too sudden and is progressing at a steady rate. very cool.

although this is a show set in highschool, the way characters interact with each other feels very refreshing. its probably less realistic than real life actually, because characters open up with one another and communicate clearly, so you cant even be like "ermm why dont they talk to each other??" its subtle but i think its really subversive in its own way

tying into the previous point, all the characters have felt well rounded. each of them have some level of intruige around them and there's never any person where i roll my eyes like "oh no its THEM" i really like the cast all around.

wednesday is a great character. i mean. some people will find her annoying. but she is very intruiging to me. if i met her in real life i would wanna be friends with her. i like every time she starts talking about any of her interests im like girlll i soooo get u yess its time to disect animals

the character conflict that i find most annoying is that the other characters dont rlly understand wednesday, but thats probably the point. i am just neurodivergent so when i see her i go ooohhh yeah absolutely. why dont these other guys get this get her a guillotine she is soo bored

the set design is SO hdjsbdjsjsisns its so much its too nuch i love it. wednesday and enid's room fills me with delight every time i lay eyes on it. sooo good.

and can i just give a shout out to EUGENE my boy what a freak but a cool freak bring him back

✿ new simblr, hello 👋🏽 ✿

salve! i’ve been a huge lurker in the community and decided to finally bite the bullet and make a simblr of my own. this blog isn’t really gonna be anything fancy, just some gameplay screenshots from my current legacy family. as for introductions… hi! i’m gloria! i’m 22 years old and am from the u.s. of a. i love the sims 4 (obviously) and my pronouns are she/her. i mainly play relaxed/realistic family style gameplay (maxis match) and love vibrant colors in my game. ermm… well, i guess that’s it! happy posting everyone! ☀️

Two questions, how do you do lineless art, and how do you draw faces/expressions? They are always so cute!!

ermm I am not good at tutorials but I did my best here! First lineless art. My methods kinda messy and theres probably better methods out there.

First I start with a sketch like normal, and line it like normal.

2. then I color it like I usually would. Nothing fancy.

3. Then I use a clipping mask to create the lineless look. A few rules I have for myself are to do the very outside of the lines first, then go in and do the inner bits. ONLY do darker lines if necessary, I try and keep darker lines reserved for jaw lines. In the end, the lineart looks smthn like this!

For expressions and faces uhmm. Thats a lil tricky but I'll try my best to explain.

For faces I imagine them sorta like masks on a circle, and I change the shape of those masks for different characters. Sometimes I'll even make it a mask on a square. Ruby has a long, thicker snout, Weiss has a long thinner snout that sorta leans in, and the rando dragon has a shorter one then both of them.

For expressions, subtlety is key. I did my best to draw Ruby and Weiss with virtually the same expressions, but I made very slight changes to Ruby like having her look at the viewer and adding that little triangle to the corner of her mouth. So instead of just a neutral smile like Weiss's, she looks smug.

Heres another example with Weiss, where I made her neutral face look like an annoyed one just by scrunching her snout a little and slightly turning her lip down more.

But I do like to exaggerate more sometimes! Such as to make really happy faces, or really angry ones. I'm still kinda practicing when it comes to super exaggerated expressions, but I've been following the squash stretch rule and acting kinda like a characters face is putty. I can squish, stretch, elongate, and smoosh their faces as much as I want! I'm not aiming to be realistic.

Also, eyes add a lot to the expression! I also like to get super silly with eyes, and change the size of the pupils depending on expression. I also treat them like putty.

Thats kinda all I have?? I'm not sure if this helps in anyway but here it is lol.

OKAY a couple. malon was his great grandmother and was still kickin when they were born and used to sing eponas song to him which is why they remember some of the notes on their own 👍 doesnt remember oot link though she was long gone by then. Used to steal some of the crops in Ordon for a snack when they were 6 - 11 but felt guilty abt it so the farmers would like. wake up and see one of their pumpkins would be inexplicably replaced by a blue rupee and 2 green ones. parents died when they were 5 and Rusl took em in (Malon was too old and maybe wasnt around by then anyways :( ). tried to "fight" Rusl with a big stick and cried so hard they threw up because Rusl faked his death so realistically (it wasnt realistic they were just four) and everyone still brings it up and its Makes Him Want To Die

[windblume]

i hate marvel movies because im not stupid but also ermm the filipino representation in no way home was um kinda nice. i mean the grandma kinda spoke a little awkwardly? like “ned sabihin mo diyan sa mamang yan na alisin iyong agiw sa sulok” the sentence structure was realistic enough but the tone was a little off and she spoke too slow. its aliSIN not aLIsin as well. but its good enough for hollywood i suppose
