:D I love Nicky so much
I'll be making these into (handmade) stickers and will be giving them out for FREE at both the upcoming Elfia event and at Heroes Dutch Comic Con (summer edition)
I actually don't think anyone from the Netherlands follows me on here but uuuhh if you do plan on going to one/both events, keep an eye out for someone in a badly made Taylor cosplay and you will be granted with one of these bad bois >:)

commissions open: pride flag horse icons! now closed
hello :D i mentioned a short while ago that i wanted to do pride flag icons/profile pictures as june is approaching and now i'm opening them!
my dear polaris is the model for the example drawing. it will be a simple headshot with some minor rendering + the background being the pride flag of your choosing! if several flags apply to you, i can provide the same drawing with different backgrounds without extra cost.
edit: if you would also like the drawing without a flag background that can be arranged as well!
the horse in question can be an oc, a horse from real life, a fictional horse from a show or a video game ... you name it! all the horses are welcome here :)
price: $15
paypal only. full payment upfront!
I may not be able to work very fast at the moment but I will do my absolute best considering the circumstances!^^
if you're interested, send me a message here on tumblr and i'll get back to you as soon as possible! alternatively, you can also email me at
[email protected]
what i need from you:
clear reference images of the horse
for you to tell me which pride flag(s) i should add to the background
payment
that is all! i will then let you know when i've started and let you know when i estimate i'll be done.
if you are not interested in getting a commission but still want to help out, you can find my tip jar here: https://ko-fi.com/saturnvs
happy (almost) pride!

Voice actors are NOT the same as actors.
It takes a specific kind of skill-set and training to be able to warp and meld the voice. It takes a certain kind of talent and dedication to hone that talent into the ability to meld the voice and invoke emotion with one's voice alone. Actors are used to using their voice secondarily to their body language and their facial expressions. It's all mirrored back on camera. They do have nuance. But it's a different kind of nuance and a different kind of training to produce that nuance.
Voice actors might get their likeness transposed on their character's design, and maybe their mannerisms might seep into the character's animation. But when it's all said and done: their presence is in their voice. They are bringing a character to life, showing that emotion in their voice, trying to keep a specific accent, drawl, pitch, tone in that voice and keep it consistent for their recording sessions.
The voice actor is like a classically trained musician who can play first chair in a competitive, world-renown orchestra. The actor (who fills the voice actor's role) is like a moot who played violin in beginner and intermediate high school orchestra and thinks they can get into Juilliard with that 2-4 years of experience.
This doesn't mean that the HS orchestra moot can't play. They can even be really good at it. Maybe they won competitions and sat first chair. But they are not in the same league as the person who's been training their whole lives and lives and breathes to hone their craft using the instrument and all of the training they've ever acquired to perfect it. They are not meant for the same roles. They are not in the same caliber. You do not hire the HS equivalent when you want to play complex music in a competitive orchestra.
Actors are not the same as voice actors.
And furthermore, actors - especially big name actors - taking the roles of animated characters for big budget films or TV pilots makes no sense anyways when - at least in the case of TV pilots - there's not a point to hiring a big budget actors anyways. That money could be used elsewhere (like paying your animators), and the talent that is brought onto the screen for X character could then be hired on to voice said character no recasting required.
I wouldn't say voice acting as a profession is in danger exactly, but it's certainly being disrespected and overlooked for celebrity clout, and this has ALWAYS been an issue. Shoot, even Robin Williams knew that much - which is why he tried so hard not to be used as a marketing chess piece for Aladdin and got royally pissed off when it happened anyways. People shouldn't go to any movie (but especially not animated films) because "oh famous actor is in it". People should go because it's a good movie and the voice acting is good.
People who honest to god think that voice actors are replaceable because "oh well anyone can voice act" or "I like xyz celebrity so naturally it'll be good" ... Honestly I just wish you'd reassess your priorities because you're missing the point and are part of the problem.
Voice Actors ≠ Actors.

Hey! Do you play TTRPGs?
Are you a DM who needs tokens AND maps AND scenery items to make up a quick battle or scene on the fly?
Are you a player who has a wildly specific character and can't really find a token that works for them?
Well, you're in luck! My Adventure Archive is a subscription based resource for DMs and players alike! with nearly 600 game assets (as of August 2024), for $5 a month you can not only get access to those assets, each month a handful of new assets are added AND you get to vote on what assets get made that month!
Also, each month, every subscriber gets a free personal request! It can be a regular thing ( "I need a banshee" or "I need a cliff scene") or even as specific as an OC!
I have a list that I draw from and add to the archive over time, so you can add anything you need each month, and it'll get added! (currently I've caught up on the list)
So if you enjoy playing AND want to support a small, indie creator supporting their family and creating comics, join the $5 level and up, and you'll get access to all these cool things!
NOTE: You are also free to edit the icons for personal use, use them in actual plays, and even print them out to use in person!

recent paycheck got fucked and after paying my phone bill I don’t have any money left for other necessities until my next paycheck (a whole two weeks from now) so now I have to attempt to sell ✨this✨ doll themed adoptable, I’m not like even sure how to go about pricing it so instead we’re doing ✨an auction✨ starting at $25! I have Zero Confidence that this will even receive bids or be sold but here we are anyways! I do not have a specific “reach this amount to buy the design” price in mine I’m sorry I’m bad at pricing things and have 0 confidence in my art </3

Happy 20th Anniversary, D.Gray-Man!
The D. Gray-Man manga what inspired me in my teens to become better at art. It's no exaggeration to say Hoshino-sensei's work has inspired me like no other.
