I literally never use references because.... Idk I'm weird that way, so this challenge actually forcing me to do that is WILD. Seeing how my brain warps tiny things over time is nutty.
#use references lol#color palette challenge#losing my mind#Currently drawing Viggo for the second time my beloved#eatmilksthoughts#I think its mainly bc I have an ingrained stigma#against using references because a teacher told me it was insincere and no real artist uses references.#which I know is wrong but like#Idk I made that a part of my identity I guess#There was a whole year when I was 10 (I think...around there) that I forgot eyebrows existed lol#artist problems#artist struggles

i think my favourite part of the ratfish episodes are the fact that it's the most accurate portrayal of friendship i can think of. here's all your friends but they're anonymous, make each other laugh. it's always one specific thing that would make no one else bat an eye that makes you get made by someone else. katie made a joke about anti-depressants and immediately got clocked by rekha. zac mentioned publix and grant went "that's zac." grant chose a bette midler song and ally went "gay ass. probably grant." zac didn't get any vibes at all from steven and realised he knows his friends better than this. i do not know this person in real life.
#you know what it is. youd know it with your friends too. they say one specific thing and you go yeah thats x lol#we couldve guessed them because of their jokes n references we know of as celebrities but what they got clocked bywas UNINTELLIGIBLE for us#game changer#the ratfish#zac oyama#ally beardsley#grant o'brien#rekha shankar#katie marovitch#brennan lee mulligan#jess ross#sam reich

I heard you guys wanted some more of my silly lil motorcycle drivin’ modern Hualian AU idea so… made something a little more polished… I hope you all enjoy! Maybe I’ll do some more if people want it!
Y’all just KNOW E-ming would be the best motorcycle ever… they’d be so careful, especially when Xie Lian is a passenger.
#my art#hualian#tgcf#tgcf xie lian#tgcf hua cheng#xie lian#hua cheng#e ming#heaven official's blessing#mxtx tgcf#mxtx#tgcf fanart#you just know Eming would rev up loud and cute when it sees XL#and then HC would knee Eming right in the gas tank and maybe jostle the whole bike a bit lol#i love them#motorcycle#i didnt use a reference and my anatomy is wonky im sorry

#teen wolf#derek hale#stiles stilinski#sterek#sterek fanart#my art#a good example of my creative process: this all started from me seeing a gifset of the iconic 'show us that big ol' fist'#and was like hmmm#that's a nice angle on stiles#so i used that for reference and the rest developed from there LOL#the bruises were a very late addition#also me lovingly rendering bodyhair once again#you can't stop me#also buzzcut hair stiles supremacy#suuuuper happy with this one!! messed around with layer effects a lot and stumbled upon this effect#watch this get autoflagged for nudity because of the predominant peachy skintones#oops last minute add to the caption bc#older sterek (particularly stiles) makes my brain go brrrrrrr

kinda enemies to lovers with pro-hero!bakugou and popstar!reader
now bakugou is sitting beside kirishima doing an interview where they have to guess a song just with a lyric.
“come right on me, i mean camaraderie.” bakugou reads the paper in his hand.
“oh wait i think i know this one, the song was trending all over the internet last week.” said kirishima enthusiastically.
“the lyrics are weird, i bet it's trending because it sucks.” bakugou rolled his eyes and shrugs his shoulder. meanwhile, his pr manager having a meltdown behind the camera.
“wha— that's not a manly thing to say, bro. i guess it's (name) (last name)'s latest song, right? but i couldn't remember the title.” kirishima changed the topic.
“isnt she famous for her lyricism? i guess people are just throwing words nowadays.” said bakugou nonchalantly.
the clip was trending all over Twitter after it was uploaded. of course, you, who are chronically online, saw the video of dynamight making fun of your lyrics.
days later, when you just finish with your show, you decide to interact with some fans outside the venue.
“do you see that dynamight interview?”
“im sorry what?” you pretend to not hear her.
“dynamight? making fun of your lyrics?“
“who's that?”
boom— the clip is trending #1 all over the internet. the fans found your petty beef hilarious.
user156: LMAOOO EVEN MORE HILARIOUS BECAUSE HE'S THE NUMBER 2 HERO IN THIS COUNTRY
(name)s123fan: she's so funny lol i love her
dynamifans: i love dynamight but id do the same if i were her
user678: they want each other so bad lol
totallynotbkg: he's right her lyrics sucks lol
user222: this is def dynamight
user114: her lyrics are fun lol, do you think she would write like shakespeare or smtg?
bakugou not even realizing that he's now scrolling through your name's hashtag and starts listening to your songs. he watches every fancam of yours with wide eyes because where the fuck he's been? you're an amazing performer and produce good songs, not that he wants to admit out loud.
totallynotbkg: i guess she's not that bad

So on the weekend I went to an art fair thing. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular when something caught my eye.
I stopped.
I stared.
“Huh. That looks a lot like Dave.”
It is not uncommon for cat art to look like Dave. In fact, most cat art looks like Dave. This painting was Different though.
“Can I see Dave?” The artist asks.
Not one to pass up an opportunity to share a Dave photo, I show her this:

“Oh wow.” she says.
“Yep.”
I got the painting.

(Artist is @colettebachand.art on insta)
#im never getting over this#like WHAT are the chances#she used her own cat as a reference#but she might as well have used Dave lol#it’s like getting a commission I didn’t know I wanted 😂#art#catblr#cats#Dave the cat#photo
