Trying to work on a cute Cassatello drawing but Casey’s face is FIGHTING ME and even tho I’ve decided to redo the second the frustration of not doing it right the first time is really annoying rn

#im just gonna sleep on it and do it tomorrow #i’ll be able to do it in the end I’m sure but it’s just so irritating rn #the joys of being an artist…#artists on tumblr #lav’s thoughts

A lynx-coated fox/wolf critter I have dreams of every now and again

#canine #traditional art #artists on tumblr #sketchbook #art #80% of my dreams are very mundane stress dreams (I've forgotten about something important / I'm late for work etc)#it's always a huge joy when my brain decides to throw a fantasy creature in my dreams for a change #this one I always see in a cave that has blood oozing off the walls and he drinks it :-)#IT SOUNDS TERRIFYING LMAO but it's not a nightmare at all it's very cool I swear #it feels like being on a walk and suddenly encountering an uncommon animal IRL #pure excitement and wonder

FOR THE LOVE OF BEING CREATIVE PLEASE KEEP DRAWING THOSE DRAWINGS YOU THINK ARE SHITTY, THEY MATTER MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW JUST BY BEING, JUST BY YOU EXPRESSING YOURSELF, JUST BY YOU WANTING TO MAKE IT AT ALL, LETS HOPE THE FUTURE YOU HAS LEARNED TO NOT CRINGE AT THE TIMES YOU WERE LEARNING AND HAVING FUN AND MESSING UP AND STILL KEPT GOING BECAUSE YOU WERE ENJOYING CREATING SOMETHING DAMMIT

#hi i am emotional about art #i am emotional about artists that belittle their past selves drawings for not being good enoughh then #littlehint from Me: they were always good enough there is no good enough it exists because you loved whatever you were doing enoug to do it #standards are fake in art just make something i promise it matters what you make matters #i wish i could say things better but im very tired sleepy #you get what i mean #hi artists. please keep drawing if it brings you joy. please learn to not sacrifice joy for perfectionism. i love you all

Hot Rod/ Rodimus!! just started reading MTMTE and I love it so far, also decided to try a new coloring style (where you color on a layer on top of the sketch/lineart, but like not painting) which was fun :>

(slightly less filtered version + speedpaint below):

litany of the martyrs (click for better resolution!)

#at some point i wanted to make an illustration for each character but in retrospect maybe each is multiple song-coded..#drew the sketch for a quincy thing after a chat with a mutual reminded me this song existed dfsghjkl and then spent weeks rendering this #quincy cynthius martin #adamandi #i'm finally done with this! the saints especially were joys to paint and the halo a menace.... this has been the most ambitious one so far.#but it also took quite long because i only worked on it <engages with quincy> when mentally okay to deal with the themes. i'm not religious #but i do identify with the irrational(?ish) guilt + family legacy + academic achievement + disregard for self. also more complex thoughts #about love [but depsite quincent being a large part of quincy's character this piece deals with mostly the Rest of it. so another time..]#anyways! in the original sketch- the saints had heads bent towards quincy so the halo spikes pointed at him. but this worked better! halos #of the saints implying/creating one for quincy was a concept from the start though. in the show they don't touch him directly here but #differences in mediums i think- i don't have time in an image to craft a narrative so everything has to be happening. also artistic liberty #misc inspiration for this includes stained glass windows. i might have maybe misinterpreted the saint costume but i think i logic-ed it out #as the cloth part following a nun's habit w the hood. and then halo above. the material is also more transparent originally but i had. um.#too much fun painting fabric folds.. if you look closely you can see the basis of faces though behind the cloth; but only the vague shapes #because smth obscurity + inhumanness// cassian is the only one i gave a mouth though. that stems from melliot's post about the saints and #st cassian as spokesperson (<- did research teehee!) that's also how i found out which costume = which saint. speaking of which.#left to right: 'st lucy take my hand' // 'st lawrence give me strength' (presses quincy forward; but hand on shoulder connotates guidance)#/'st cassian help me smile' (quincy's mouth is btwn a grimace and a smile; tilts up at side. also no direct touch bc added insidiousness.)#//'st jude [...] i hope your causes burn' (jude's hand is in two places to show movement- nearing the flame and then snatching back; burnt)#other notes: at the midst of the flame the core is shaped like a human heart /the saints and their wax are all melting like the candle for #fun visual effect and also this way they are even less tangible <real>. perks of painting as a medium i guess. // also insp from icarus?#wax and burning imagery; looking at the halo and rays as parallel to sun that burns. too close to the sun; melting; hurting; hurtling //#candles at bottom are a nod to the frankly gorgeous set// also the entire composition kind of stems from the lyric <what use is a candle if #both ends aren't burning>; the two sides between the concepts of catholic guilt and academic perfection that spur quincy #the halo above (saints and guilt; litanyofthemartyrs) and the 'halo' below (academic papers; insp from choreo for perfect at school)#the papers were originally supposed to be more glowy. but i like the idea of it now being a reflection of how quincy's priorities shift #also of note is that <candle> in centre = quincy; w burning candle + aforementioned heart in flame -> most human; idea of love + passion #last thoughts: kneeling + hands close tgt = prayer //wax dripping onto the red As make an effect that looks like blood. because i like #hiding that within the adamandi pieces :OO continuity!! // i've run out of tags but yeah! had fun with this one! every so often i go a #little insane in making art and the final result astounds even me. ngl i'm quite proud of this one. pretty colours <3333

"But if we dont get reblogs and likes than why bother creating at all" Did you never doodle in your notebook in class. Did you never have a notebook of cringe doodles you never wanted people to see but got filled anyway. Was this never something you did because it was a tool of personal comfort.

#t.extpost #like i get wanting the attention god i get that drive too #but its this complete absence of like #personal stake? the doing it just to do it? that baffles me #Like i drew long before i was even allowed to have a computer and long before I had an art account and long before i #could stand having other people see most of it #Like it was something done for personal comfort and enjoyment long before the idea of being praised was ever a possibility #like hell i avoided any sort of art major or 'career' out of fear that it would suck the joy out of something i did for myself #and i still get artblock or down and what have you but ultimately people paying attention has never been the goal #so this absolute 'if it wasnt for others it wouldnt exist' mindset feels so foreign #like sure part of it but all?#also this is non rebloggable because it is personal musing and i truely do not wish to fight w/ others over the idea of what #is the right way to be validated as an artist

people who complain about people singing at concerts are so annoying if you only want to listen to the artists thats what listening at music at home is for. concerts are a social experience you go there to be with other people who like the music as much as you do, you dont get to stop them enjoying it because you dont know what a concert is

#i think people like want to pretend its just them and the artist but like thats not why you go to a concert youre missing the point #there is no greater joy than screaming song lyrics with a bunch of strangers #this seems to be more of an issue with like. those ~aesthetic~ types of people people who are into rock dont care #but like the mitski subreddit was so annoying when her tour was announced it was full of people saying to not sing along #which is just very sad u know #also because i was watching a boygenius concert video and the comments were full of people making fun of one girl in the audience #for singing loudly and not being able to carry a tune #like ok she paid a lot to be there and ur watching it for free on youtube you can keep those opinions to urself #if you dont want to hear other people judt STREAM THE SONG #anyway #im seeing mitski this month i hope everyones chill OSLSJ
