Procrastination means drawing the good ol' comfort ships <3

#procrastinating working on my art portfolio honestly #been thinking about it a lot but struggling to get started on it #So drawing some petermj was a good distraction #side note: this is such a weird angle to draw #the reference had a lot of soft shadows for the jaw so it was a tricky thing to figure it out a way to get it without using hard lines #im also still obsessed with this brush btw #it's one of my go-tos now #and ive been loving drawing MJ she's amazing and i miss her so much #petermj #spiderman #michelle jones #peter parker

don’t you hate it when your brother brings the guy who tried to kill you a bunch of times to your party

original meme under cut

#every now and then i have to draw a little comic strip for one of my aus based on a meme #and make it all up on the spot with absolutely no forethought #sanders sides au #sanders sides fairytale au #sanders sides fanart #roman sanders #remus sanders #janus sanders #creativitwins #i'm probably gonna end up changing janus's design between this and the next time i draw him #i just can't figure out how he should look #don't look at remus's clothes i literally didn't even plan what i was gonna draw before i started doing the lineart #i also didn't use references for anything but the hands #the problem with drawing anthropomorphic animals in this way is that it's really hard to make them show any expression #not that i'm good at that with humans anyway #i guess this is my debut of roman and remus's designs in this au. i'm gonna make little character profiles for them and all the others #idk how long that'll take though cause for some reason i decided to draw 2 full body colored and shaded pictures of each character #that's 12 drawings +the one each i already did for c!thomas and the orange side #i feel like this drawing doesn't look like remus much?#his grey hairs aren't super noticeable so maybe that's why. also the green on his clothes isn't very bright #and he's making a pretty normal facial expression so that affects it too #once again i did not plan this out at all beforehand #this is the 4th au ive made where roman is the youngest character. except in this one he and remus actually aren't twins (clearly)#remus is actually the oldest #so everyone else is in between them age wise #my art

I'm sure many of you have seen the new Among Us x A Hat in Time announcement by now, which consists of new cosmetic items based off of the AHiT characters as part of the new Indie Cosmicube.

However, what I've not heard as much discussion about is the new art featured in the promo.

"New art?" you ask, glancing at the familiar sprite art of the AHiT characters in the background. "I guess Bow Kid's looks new..."

"But what about the rest of them?" I ask, smirking.

"Those have been around for years!" you protest.

"Ah-ha!" I raise a finger, a witty smile spread across my face, "but have they?"

In fact, all of the main character sprite art in the background of this promo has been redrawn. Some, like Hat Kid's, has even had design changes as well.

Let's start with Hat Kid:

Overall new shading and smoother painting lines, including added highlights and shadows to create more depth

New eyes that give her a more cheery and childish appearance

New, more expressive mouth with fangs!

Updated stars on her umbrella

More detailed ears

Below you can see some of the areas pointed out and the original art we've had for years.

Next, Mustache Girl:

Again, completely new shading and highlights

New, sharp gremlin teeth (I'm loving all of the new teeth choices here, Jenna)

Brand new eyes

Changed left eyebrow position to give a more "evil" expression

New styled nose to match the other, newer art

Next, The Conductor:

New shading and highlights

More light spill/reflections on his dark clothing and hat (see the underside of the bill and the left side of his arms/collar)

Larger tongue

Slightly more plump tie

Cleaner line art, specifically on his right hand

The crows are the same from the Welcome to Mafia Town title card, as pictured here:

I didn't bother making a GIF since they didn't have any changes!

~ ~ ~

That about sums it up I think. That new Bow art is super cute, and I can't wait to see it in full. Oh, did I not mention? Gears for Breakfast didn't spend all of this time redrawing these classic images just for some Among Us promotion. Or rather, they might have, but a little birdy told me that we'll be seeing them again soon...

For what? I have no idea. No clue there. But you can be assured that we'll be getting the full, brand new versions of these pieces of art in the near future!

#a hat in time #ahit #among us #among us ahit #chloe analyzes #analysis #I spent way too much time and effort on this #but once I started noticing the little changes I just HAD to overlay the old art and see what was new!#gotta admit #I was certainly surprised by the amount of effort put into revamping old art #also I am HERE for the confirmed Hat Kid fangs and Mu sharp teeth #and finally some good reference art for Bow Kid!#overall very happy with this #excited to see what's next

Au where Mike fucking died in that hallway and they made him possess the empty dog animatronic

#'mike wont let us take abby' 'we kill mike so he wont get in the way' 'abby wont play with us if we kill her brother'#'then we put him in an animatronic. then he cant stop us and abby can still have her brother'#'that sounds like a good plan with no flaws whatsoever lets do that'#fnaf movie #fnaf movie spoilers #i miss back when we would make aus n stories where the nightguard becomes an animatronic lets go back to that #theyre literally was a dog animatronic btw i dont have pictures but at first i thought it was bonnie #until i realized the red bow was like. a dog bone an a red ribbon #soo tempted to start drawing mike n abby as animatronics. the only thing stopping me is tired and lack of references #the doll animatronic in the movie reminded me of the doll animatronic charlie had in her closet in the novel series #and i know theres some doll on one of the frights covers too does anyone know anything abt that one? it looked like the animatronic as well #v nice to see a non sl human style animatronic. nice to know what those'd look like #actually makes a ton of sense to be a doll since freddy and gang are plushies #mike schmidt #abby schmidt #i wish we know what the feddy head saw trap was for tho #five nights at freddy's movie #five nights at freddy's movie spoilers #fnaf au

I'm glad you like Connor cause I don't think enough good people like Connor lolol . I was kind of surprised at first cause you hate dbh so much but then I was thinking like... yeah this guy is totally up your alley hehe

It’s been kinda “overwhelming” (in no bad way) how many people have been completely supportive of our guy fixations, more specifically the one on connor. Every time we get a character like this we do have about a week to maybe six months of hating ourself entirely for liking something That Much. But lately everyone has been so nice to us? It’s weird! It feels like we can just like things. Nd this may sound bad but we really didn’t think we could, for the longest time. Our weird character fixations usually apply to our irl life and identity whether we like it or not! Thomas pitched the idea of businessmen to us (basically just guys in suits) and we sorta ran with it. Needless to say they’re more akin to furries to us than anything remotely human. Which is funny. This is all to say connor fits in here. Funny enough this whole thing has made us feel better about our identity too? Isn’t it crazy how that all works. We tend to develop fixations on characters rather than media. It’s funny. Connor is definitely one of those. It feels stupidly wrong to be this way cause like, by fandom law shouldn’t you care about the media as a whole? I mean, we like twin peaks, a thing another Guy is from, and persona and all that. But. Well, we like the character. Anyway this means a lot to us!! People have been so oddly supportive of us!! It’s so weird - I mean, I know it SHOULDN’T feel weird but. It does!! dbh is an absolutely awful video game, horribly distasteful and just hilariously bad in extremely funny ways. But you see we Like Him.

#something which ‘opened our eyes’ was this artist we like who would exclusively draw two characters #divorced entirely of their media #just cause. they liked them #that + focus painting rover in significantly less animal crossing scenarios just.#it inspired us to be true #we hope people around us enjoy the ways we express ourself #oh yeah also funny addon:#we actually had a dream of connor after starting the game where he was like a social worker robot instead #and that just sorta inter-spliced with our abuse situation and he turned into a #‘comfort’ ‘character’#Jesse people are so nice it’s scary!!#ask #radarvision #connor #writing #WAIT WE JUST REREAD YOUR ASK.#the good people thing is sooo funny #but it’s giving us a warm fuzzy feeling . being referred to as such #oh this ask is so kind.. you people are going to make us create huge art.#this message is what truly gives us the motivation to create and. exist.

doctor confirmed that 👉 this guy 👈 got pcos and i just got an implant to at the very least get my whacky periods under control and hopefully get them to stop entirely

#i also have thought about how i was cared for today #i go to a free place that has rotating doctors so i didnt see the same one that told me to get a ultrasound of my ovaries + blood test #previous one was a cis woman and she insisted me having multiple cysts on my ovary (that was double in size to the other one) wasnt enough #(for a pcos diagnosis) so she insisted i redo my blood test on the 2nd day of my period #which i didnt realise at the time is dumb as hell cause my periods are so chaotic im not even sure when they start and when they stop #the doc i saw today was a trans doctor (using iel in french! love to see it) and after i explained my situation was like #well theres no point to check your hormones here since we dont have a point of reference #and your ultrasound shows you have multiple cysts in your ovary so thats pcos #then explained to me what that does to your body & all that its not dangerous per say but its good to monitor and take hormones to help #and i said i was already considering the implant to stop my periods and they said that can be arranged today #told me the other alternatives and the risks associated with the implant but tbh my choice was already made #i mean of course idk how much cisness and transness has anything to do with this #but i had seen another cis doctor about my periods being whack when they started being whack #and he did an ultrasound saw nothing and was like “well nothing wrong with you” and that was the end of it #i definitely felt more comfortable and better cared for in the hands of a peer #(also i had to try three pharmacy to get the implant cause the other ones were out of it #walked way more today than planned but good day regardless!)

“The Past is Present,” Phases of the Moon Knight (Vol. 1/2024), #3.

Writer: Justina Ireland; Penciler and Inker: Daniel Bayliss; Colorist: Dee Cunniffe; Letterer: Cory Petit

#Marvel #Marvel comics #Phases of the Moon Knight #Moon Knight comics #latest release #Ellie Johnson #Oh okay I see we’re starting off strong based on that sign in the window hahaha #fair warning the following tags touch on political topics so please take everything with a grain of salt (what do I know hahaha)#I just *sigh* I’m not sure if this was intended to be a reference to a current campaign slogan in US politics #or if it was a bit more general but in any case perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised anymore by lionization of the past #but it never passes me by whenever anyone tries to argue that the past was superior (near perfect) and we should dwell on it #Either they’re truly ignorant of the past’s issues or they actually admire them #I’m equally suspicious however anyone who promises an entirely new start #as if any system could ever truly break away from its past and as if we didn’t perpetually have someone peddling a new new deal or frontier #I also find it interesting that this is in a window trying to attract patrons which in a way means its capitalizing off the past/nostalgia #the docents/proprietors in this story are good folk so I’m sure it’s not so underhanded as that but still…#…or maybe this is just an establishing shot to indicate to the reader that this is a post-apocalyptic/hero society #and I’m just being overly sensitive about 6 words in a background shot hahaha #don’t mind op rambling in the tags as per always

like how do people not realize that doug ford was canadian trump before trump was trump. before 2016. doug’s ALWAYS been a slippery two faced lying POS who’s willing to sell out canada for one corn chip. why are canadians forgetting this. you guys get ONE drop of “canadian patriotism” in your brains and throw logic out the window. your stupid generalized “we’re smarter and better than them/all americans are stupid,” superiority complex over all americans is sending you RIGHT DOWN THE SAME PATH THAT AMERICANS ARE GOING DOWN and you cant even see it!!!

#if i have to see another canadian patriotism tiktok about how ‘wow dougs finally doing good’ and ‘all americans are stupid canada 4ever’ etc #im going to crashout #especially coming from provinces who mocked alberta for ending up like the states in so many wyas #like you bitches are on that same path #and youre too busy patting yourself on the back & posting canadian pride tiktok slideshows to see it #if i started talking about how urban Canadians & especially urban canadians from ontario tend to have a weird superiority compelx over All #americans And over rural canadians/canadians from other provinces #and how that superiority complex is sending them right down the same path as americans #and right down the same path as alberta and sask/the provinces they look down on #then i would get jumped i think. but also.#am i Wrong?#ive said it before but #the experience of living rurally in canada #is far more similar to the experience of living rurally in america #than it is to the experience of living non-rurally in canada #esp in sask and alberta #like ontario & quebec etc always felt like Another Country to me #because of the divide there/growing up being looked down on not only by non-rural people in sask and ab but also from non-rural people in #ontario *and* rural people in ontario #anyway. thats a whole Subject Tm but my point is #so many canadians need to get off of their brosd sweeping high horse #and realize just how much they have in common with the average american #and also isnt me hating on ontario or hating on non-rural people #this is me expressing frustration with a lifetime of being hated on By them &#having the provinces ive lived in (AB and Sask) literally be referred to as ‘texas and alabama’/people talking about how theyre #‘not part of canada/might as well be states’ in a 100% serious way #and excluding us from that supposed united canadian identity that they now want to preach about & take ‘pride’ in against americans #like oh where was this unity and support beofre???#anyway ive hit my tag limit but. theres more nuance to this topic and i just. sigh

i have taken 2 animation classes

#i don't think i'm good at it but i now understand why very rough animations look a certain way #and now i'm motivated to start practicing #her whole face like completely changes shape i need to practice drawing in general #maybe getting a model sheet down for her #i was using like no reference and it is definitely something i needed #it was fun! definitely fun to try #there's a smarter way of animating human i think i need to kind of treat it like a puppet and animate all the body parts on different layer #anyways this is cecilia from GOA #which is how 'm abbreviating the Thing i'm writing #i gotta get back in there man #UGGGHHHHH
