god, one mild problem of asking friends who don't draw a lot for criticism is that They Don't See Shit. I'm obviously going to be Extra Critical of my own art and that's why I ask for their advise, but they just tell me it's pretty without warning me that one arm had a very fucked up anatomy or the chair I had straight up forgotten to draw for a good while.
I told them the thing was done (I meant a fucking table I had procrastinated to draw for eons and was a blue sketch in all those wip updates) while all the characters were still just colored sketches and the chair was missing and they just didn't see it; they rolled with the drawing as is.
They're wonderful people, but they are definitely not the people to go to for actual art advise and it's a bit annoying tbh
#morningtalks#because The Thing is that I don't want to post this drawing online because these are Real People I Know I'm drawing there and don't want to#post THEM online. there's a limit to what I feel is okay to do and that goes way over it#so it's all forced to stay within my circle of irl people and there it's obviously going to be Very Limited because I know like 4 people we#one of them cannot see the wips because I'm drawing her (with her approval) and want to surprise her with the finished piece#(let's ignore the fact I had mutiple moments of pure frustration about drawing her; it's part of the art process at this point)#so I have 3 people I can easily show the wips to and They Don't Draw/Don't Look Critically at the drawings I make#The Drawing Is Good and that's it#technically I can also go to my mother but she's a bit chaotic bout these things#and has a habit of kinda just criticizing my style itself instead of things truly wrong with the piece itself#like an anatomically fucked up arm#so I'm stuck just trying to catch obvious mistakes myself#and when you realize in lineart stage that The Arm's Fucked it's so much fun#it isn't hard to fix but it's a bit frustrating still

Jellyatinous Rose
Calliope: Welcome lovelies, to oUr little get together for an adventure throUgh the Use of a Role-Playing Game system called DUngeons & Dragons! Tonight we have a new player joining in oUr dUngeon delving, oUr lovely friend, Roxy.

Roxy: so, when do we start playin?
Calliope: Shortlym bUtt first, we shall introdUce oUr varioUs party members for the road ahead, so that we may give oUr newest addition a chance to Understand her new chUms? Jade, why dont we start with yoU?
Jade: ok!
Jade: im a level 5 chaotic good gnoll ranger called groche’a, and i was ousted from my tribe for not wanting to plunder tombs for bones because i was scared of waking the dead and having them get revenge on us... which they did! im the only survivor!
Roxy: wats a goll? Roxy: *gnoll
Jade: a gnoll is a dog person
Jade: like this!
Roxy: oh so ur a hyna furry basically then?
Jade: well no, im more like a malamute husky, i actually based my character off of bec and what jake told me about my scratched other self
Roxy: yeah, ur gilf self was pretty smokin for an old lady, so i can c y u chose her
Jade: ...what?
Calliope: Lets keep this train of introdUctions going, Dave YoU’re Up love!
Dave: im dave, and im a barbarian. im a level 4 chaotic good guy i guess, gettin my rage on with my magic shit talking sword and doin all kinds of awesome shit!

Calliope: Moving on, John, how aboUt we introdUce yoUr character?
John: im Salamon of the Hearthlands, a level 4 neutral good halfling jester!
Roxy: wats a halflin?
John: they’re pretty much just hobbits but a bit more... “earthly” i think would be a good word to describe them? they’re sort more vice than virtue and do things like eat a lot of food, take whats not theirs and breed like rabbits.
Roxy: le gasp, ur a bunny boy! that sounds adorable!
John: heh, no, im not a bunny, but i guess i am bunny-like in that sense
Jade: you know, that would actually be a good fursona for you
John: eh, nah, its not really my thing, besides im more like a tiger
Jade: hahahaha! no you’re not!
John: in fact i think would be more like tigra from thundercats
Jade: i said no. you’re fucking. not.
John: uuuuh!!!
Roxy: calli!
Calliope: Yes Roxy, what is it?
Roxy: can u make jon into a bunny boy?
Calliope: I... can, bUt I need a good reason like a magical invocation or something like that, I cannot simply do as I wish with the players whenever I wish.
Calliope: Besides, the game has not started. Rose, why dont yoU go next?

Roxy: ur kinda given me the willies theres rosie
Rose: Hah! Thank you! I try to accentuate the nature of the Dark Elves as much as possible~ I am a Level 5 Necromancer by the way, just so we are clear.
Calliope: That was a nice sUrprise, always good to see dear ole Rose to give Us a performance and bring a little life throUgh characterization. Now, for oUr last member, Kanaya!
Kanaya: Salutations, I Am Mildred Of Baldurs Gate! A Neutral Good Human Cleric Of Lathander. I Am Level Three And I Am Looking Forward To Keeping You Out Of Trouble, As I Am The Primary Healer Of The Group. Though I Can Take A Swing With My Shredder Axe If I Wish, I Can Be More Than Helpful In Most Situations!
Roxy: i dunno boit that but i think ill be hpy 2 have u round when the magical shit hits the fan! Roxy: *about
Calliope: Well, now that we have oUr standing party’s introdUctions oUt of the way, how aboUt we have Roxy introdUce Us to oUr newest member?!
Roxy: what bout u calli, whats ur character?
Calliope: I am the DUngeon Master, I recant the tale to the party based on the actions and decisions they make. Technically, I am all of the characters that are not part of the party! BUt I do have a rather sUltry lass that i have been meaning to play for a while. When my tenUre as DUngeon Master is Up, I shall pass the responsibility of rUnning the game onto others and break her oUt!
Roxy: rly? what is she? tell me!
Calliope: She isn’t finalized, but shes a YUan-Ti Magician, specifically an assistant. Haven’t qUite figUred oUt if shes a fUll-blood or a half-blood.
Roxy: a yankee?
Calliope: A YUan-Ti is more or less a snake person, mUch like myself I sUppose. I’ll admit shes a bit of a self-insert, bUt I made her for immersion for flarping. John helped me in crafting her!
Roxy: oh... he did now, did he?
John: yeah! it was actually pretty fun! learning about the lore of the snake people was kinda neat!
Calliope: Indeed! And in retUrn, helped John create another character to pair alongside with her! He is also a Magician, and she acts as his assistant!
Roxy: assistant huh? does that mean you can make his magic wand
Roxy: disappear?!~♥
John: whoa! roxy!
Calliope: Making a Magicians Magic Wand disappear is childs play.
John: uh calli, thats not what she mea-
Calliope: BUt making his wand spit magical glowing seed, now thats the magic~
Calliope: Mwah!~♥
Dave: whoa-ho, damn!
Rose: Ooo, how racey~
Kanaya: I Must Admit, That Got Quite Raunchy Awfully Quickly!
Jade: you can do that?!
John: ok! moving on! time for your introduction rox, before this turns into a smut campaign.
Roxy: how do u know that it wont turn into 1 when i do get my intro on? ;)
John: rox!
Roxy: relax! im jus teasin y Roxy: *u
Roxy: ok, my character is xerox gundalf the pink! shes a level 1 chotic good gun wizard!
John: gun wizard?! that actually sounds cool!
Jade: that actually sound cool, maybe ill roll one next campaign!
Dave: gotta admit, that does sound pretty bitchin rp as
Rose: Um, Roxy, as creative as that is, “Gun Wizard” isnt a valid class within the ruleset of DnD.
Roxy: wat? naaah, its fine! got xeroxs character shit filled out and everything! even drew her!
Roxy: c? kickass sex witch! put a spell on u make u her enchanted slav! put a magic bullet in ur butt and set her enemies on fire! abraka-sexbang!!
Rose: But we already have a Wizardess! Why don’t you be another class, a legal one such as a Rogue or a Thief?
Roxy: those dont sound legal 2 me sister, sides im a rogue in real life! i dont wanna play a rogue i wanna b a badass gun wizard! calli help me out here
Calliope: Mmmmm, well, while technically “GUn Wizards” are not what they are called, “GUn Mages” are in fact an actUal class! So I sUppose thats no significant issUe
Roxy: gasp YAYS!
Rose: Wait, “Gun Mage” is an actual class?
Calliope: Why yes, it is! QUite the interesting one too, might even roll a character to play as one myself at some point!
Rose: Well, anyways, as I said, we already have a Wizardess, which is myself. So how about you roll Up a Rogue? John can moonlight as one, but he isnt able to specialize as one. Here, lemme just get you started and roll you a character right now!
Roxy: uh, no, imma play a wizard!
Rose: We’ll make her Neutral Good, for maximum opportunity while still being approachable. Some good Dexterity for all of that lockpicking you’ll be doing.
Roxy: rose, water u doin?
Rose: Dump all the skill points into stealth, traps, and lockpicking!
Roxy: ross! Roxy:*rose
John: you know i could just spec into those skills myself, i was planning on doing it anyways!
Rose: We can make her pink, with some blue trimmings~
Roxy: stahp!
*Roxy latches onto Rose’s pen hand, preventing her from drawing further. The two devolve into a bit of a struggle*
Rose: Stop... getting... in the... way, Roxy!
Jade: you do know you can multi-class in this game, right? as in you both can have both.
Roxy: well i don.. wann play... fuckin rogue, i wan be... a wizard of bullets!
Rose: We need a Rogue to-*is bitten*-FUCK! ROXY!
Kanaya: What Is Happening?
*Roxy and Rose devolve to a mother/daughter/sister squabble between petty bitches who both want the same thing, but are unwilling to share, complete with hair pulling, bites, scratches, clothes ripping and an assortment of name calling.*
*Its a good ole fashioned cat fight yy’all!*
Jade: shouldnt someone stop this? like kanaya, isnt this your thing?
Kanaya: ...I... Want To, But I Think I Am Enjoying The Sight Of This Conflict? Should I Do So Anyways?
Dave: with them? nah man itll sort itself out eventually. just let em get tuckered out.
John: ... roll for initiative?
Calliope: Haa! Hahahaha!
