i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself

FINISHED WORK?? on MY page??? it's far less likely than you'd think. and yet, somehow, here we are. :D

(well, finished enough to post and call "done", i should say. i may yet meddle with some details when i inevitably notice ten more flaws immediately after posting :D)

good old moss knight, such a devout follower of big slug. surely no wandering knight would ever end such a noble creature's life before he had the chance to speak with a certain fellow at a nearby bench! :D

this was essentially just me testing the waters with digital after some time avoiding it, and especially colours/lighting. it's been a while since i actually tried to make something fully fleshed out like this. i don't know, i feel like it could have come out worse :)

my controversial gw2 opinion of the day is that i actually like isgarren. dont get me wrong. i think he's objectively wrong about everything and also kind of a brat. that's the thing and the problem though. i like isgarren because he's kind of a massive whiny tantrum baby fussy drama queen.. he took brat summer and turned it into brat epoch !

[sals-soda]

you know what i find so funny about shipcourse. particularly about people who complain in the main tags about "proshippers" and their "disgusting ships"?

is that it would be completely unjustified if someone took a popular, accepted fandom ship, complained that it showed up on their timeline/dashboard/fyp/what the fuck ever, and no, it's not their fault, they can't block or filter, it's THOSE artists fault. you know the ones. the ones that tend to be [identity/label]. GOD, those fucking [identity/label]s RUIN my day.

Digitalised + coloured + redesigned version of my Suiren and Vaatu sketch from two days ago, as promised!!

Coming up with Suiren’s design was a very long process of trying and failing because after you’ve drawn 9+ different versions of one character, the creativity starts to run a little dry, but I’m actually really proud of this one, she looks absolutely adorable <3

(Also yeah I did mostly just scribble Vaatu’s pattern because who has the energy to draw the all out accurately. Not me, that’s who, I’m chronically tired. People who draw him on the regular have my utmost respect. He’s still a funky little guy though :D)

Bonus, Raava incessantly screaming inside Suiren (and being completely ignored because Suiren is tired of her) while all this is happening:

[mineral-poetry]

THE WORLD MOVES ON

Protest. An interesting form of community. A form where the voices of the few are projected by the voices of the many.  Amplified louder, and louder, and louder, until the change they are screaming for comes to fruition. Or until the world moves on. Until something newer is printed out and placed in front of the news anchor in a script they have no choice but to follow. Until something more devastating happens. Or, let me rephrase. Until something more profitable happens.

The voices of the few may continue crying out for the change that everyone seemed to be so invested in mere moments ago, but without the voices of the many to amplify them, the voices of the few become far too easy to ignore. 

Object permanence is a concept that many learn as they mature.  The notion that something still exists even when we are not directly perceiving it is considered exceedingly common knowledge. 

Your house doesn't disappear when you are not inside it. A glass still exists if a jug is placed in front of it. The sun does not go out when you close the blinds.  Just because something is suddenly out of view, doesn't mean that thing then ceases to exist.

So why then do matters that were being so loudly protested mere moments ago seem to vanish the moment the news stations move on?

Why then do we pretend that the problems disappear the second something new is on the news anchors script?

If we know with utter certainty that the glass does not disappear when the jug is placed in front, then how come we seem to believe that an issue vanishes the instant there is a new one to commercialise ?

Problems do not disappear when we close our eyes. Just as the sun doesn't disappear when the blinds are drawn. 

The voices of the few, once amplified by many, are slowly becoming quieter, as the many choose a new few to raise up. The same hands that once tenderly laid a megaphone into the palms of the few now seek to pry it from their grasp, instead opting to offer the gift of voice to a new protest. 

But who decides who holds the megaphone?  Who selects one group out of the countless in strife at any given time? What devine figure decides what problem is worthy of being amplified by the voices of millions who seek to make whatever difference they're told is correct? 

The truth is that there is no one person.

We as a collective mind move on from one problem to the next with almost horrifying synchronisation.  Leaving each one behind once there’s a new one, whether or not the change we sought was actually implemented, and if the change actually ended up making a significant difference. It almost never does. Even if change is made there are always new problems.  There is always more to fight for.

But fighting becomes a chore as our attention spans grown shorter, And acting purely in your own self interest becomes the newest trend.  And suddenly making a difference isn’t just about making a difference anymore. 

Then slowly people begin bringing cameras to protests. They begin taking selfies with posters, They vlog themselves marching, And they post the videos for the world to see. They announce what protests they’ll be at next and it almost sounds like they’re announcing a meet and greet.  They change their bios, add flags for places they’ve never been, and call it support.

And all this would be fine, wonderful even.

If at the end of every video, and in the caption of every post, there was not a simple phrase that throws the sincerity of everything they have done into question.

“Like and follow!”

But it gets the word out I guess. 

Or it will for a while.

At least until the world moves on.

I might revamp and get rid of a bunch of muses… I’m kind of reinventing myself due to an upcoming breakup and I want a fresh start on the blog so I can, you know, actually get some writing done.

[torchickentacos]

anyways. having fun with the album project thing I mentioned. Using the flat small brush from here for krita. One brush only, no undo button, all done on 1/54th of a 1.5k x 1k canvas. it's actually pretty therapeutic, I listen to the album I'm drawing while I draw it. This does mean that for AM I got to like. track 2 though and most of that was bc of formatting issues lol.
