Been trying to get back into painting because!!! I want to get back into touch with my technical skills. I love drawing cartoons it is my passion!! But I find myself missing the more classical forms of art, like the painting and charcoal work I focused on in school. I'm thinking of adding these pet portraits to my Commission rotation! I've had some friends say that 30$ is a good price but I work heavily from the references I'm provided so I'm not sure if that's the best one to stick with? Do you charge more or less for that?? I'm still not sure about the pricing of my cartoons, let alone works like this! If anyone out there in the art community has any opinions, tips, advice, etc I'd love to hear it! A portrait like one of these usually takes me between 2-3 hours, and I use a digital program (Clipstudio) along with a basic oil brush that came with it.

For your gay little dogs
.
#principal skinner pride flag for my gay little dogs#you see this is why my dog people need to see the same spectrum of colors we do#I feel like their literal world view would be drastically altered if they couldn't distinquish between orange and green#I'd argue that red is a significant color in practically every culture#it's instinctual associations with danger food and fertility make it attention grabbing on a visceral monkey brain level#I strongly suspect the impact would be at least somewhat negated if it was a muted brownish khaki instead#meaning it wouldn't be used in visual communication nearly as much#I would have to center my art and worldbuilding more around yellow and blue because those would be the colors the dogs would see clearly#right? is that sound logic?#and that would just make me immensely sad because warm colors are my favorites :<#answered#m0notropa-uniflora#something that continues to boggle my mind is that there are animals that see more colors than humans#we like to assume that our color vision is the best we can see it ALL look at that rainbow there that's the full set#yes primates are well equipped in this regard compared to many other mammals like dogs#but most birds for example have more color receptors in their eyes they have more tools to work with and their rainbow is even wider#it's like sound everyone knows we can't hear sounds that are impossibly low or too high#and we can't process wavelengths of light that are too long (infrared) or too short (ultraviolet)#only what lands between those bookends (called the visible spectrum) reads to our human eyes as “light” and subsequently “color”#I hope I've understood this correctly I'm trying to say that there's a whole layer of vision we don't have the hardware to get access to#and that's just wild to me like we are fundamentally unable to imagine a new color that isn't already included in our built-in selection#but they're definitely there the unimaginable colors are in the room with you and a common pigeon can see them#uv dlc not available for your system

In the shape of you, something new.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Better drawn mdzs#Yeah let's toss this in the 'mixed' category. Keeping you all on your toes with the quality of my work in this series.#I had to fire off some expectation-lowering shots to rebuild my energy.#I enjoy opportunities to experiment with formatting and challenge myself B*) I really like how this came out!#In this case; I have been thinking about this comic for nearly a year! The reunion scene!#The start of the festering! The longing LWJ feels contrasted against the reality that WWX has been fundamentally changed.#This is the shape of someone you knew. This is no longer the person you had in your head. Maybe that person never existed.#We build up expectations of who we want people to be - but they are never *who* that person is.#Loving the JC & LWJ parallels with this concept as well; they are both self-inflicted victims of pushing their expectations on WWX.#But we are who we are. We cannot become the idealized version of ourselves that lives in another person's head.#And I love how WWX comes back a little (a lot) horrifying. In his actions and appearance - he has changed. Maybe for the worst.

hello cookierun nation here are all of the cookie cosplays i humbly offer to ye that ive done so far. love those lil dudes
#my cosplay#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#crk#cosplay#cookie run cosplay#i'd kiss the character designer for cookierun square on the lips they do such a good job of understanding the fundamentals of design#i mean obviously im not doing 1:1 translations on any of these but they provide a spectacular base from the official work#the fact that cookierun is the only series ive done multiple costumes for in the past few years#hopefully shows how fond i am of their design style#although to be fair the other series that ive done 2 costumes for lately is genshin impact and not to be negative#but i cannot stand genshin impacts character design approach it literally keeps me up at night how much i hate it

I've seen a lot of different takes on Fear Toxin/other fear causing stuff (Yellow Lanterns Ring or something)(later just called Fear Toxin cause I'm lazy) but here is another one.
Danny seems like he isn't affected by Fear Toxin because his biggest fear is that his accident changed him so much he is no longer human, he can no longer truly experience human things.
So when he gets lungful of fear Toxin, he feels normal. He was antsy before, because c'mon, it's a rogue attack but it's not worse. Or so he thought. Because the anxiety lingers. Not enough to register as abnormal just this slight hypervigilance that makes you see things about yourself and your surroundings that you'd never realize otherwise. He'd realize he doesn't blink as often. He'd realize that if he doesn't consciously focus, he sometimes seems to not touch the ground. Forgets to breathe. He can't feel his own pulse at time. He'd realize people will miss him when he's walking down the street as if he was invisible (people just don't care about everyone they pass by). When he'd look straight into his reflection, he'd look slightly to the left. Not enough to actually name anything that was wrong but just stretched enough to fall on the wrong side of the uncanny valley. If he just caught his reflection in the peripheral vision, it'd be vaguely shadowy creature with glowing green eyes and white smoke instead of hair. Overall he'd be just wrong enough to be distinctly not human.
For everyone else, he'd be just a dude. Literally couldn't find more normal dude than this dude. Will pass as absolutely normal human unless someone is specifically looking for ecto-ghost stuff. Even most magic users wouldn't clock him at the glance
Tldr: Fear Toxin makes Danny perceive himself as some sort of eldritch horror but not enough to make him believe he'd actually be affected, while from outside perspective he's Just A Dude™
#dpxdc#dc x dp#dp x dc#dcxdp#fear toxin#please no Ghost King#nothing against this au but i don't think it'll mesh well woth this idea#probably works best with danny soon after accident#maybe still believing all of his parents anti-ghost propaganda#that'd add to angst for sure#idk why he is somewhere where he could be affected#idk who would realize something is wrong#up to whoever wants to do expand on this prompt#he'd cry when someone tells him he's been in fact affected by fear causing thing#because this means he *is* human and while he was fundamentally changed by his death#it didn't fully get rid of his humanity#but he won't tell that too busy being relieved so whoever delivered the news would be in for the ride#actually it'd be cool if it was someone who has superpowers but they showed up later in their life#parallels y'know#... i may still not be normal about “i wonder what could lie beyond infinity” by Numinous_Scribe on ao3...#top notch fic go read it great Clark characterization#anyway because plot kinda escaped me#hope this idea scratches someone's creative braincell or something#im curious what y'all will make out of it#yellow lantern#have a nice day dear stranger who got to this part

Ethan has spent the majority of his adult life travelling around the world living in safehouses with his coworkers and I think that would give him a very warped perception of the division between private and public space. like he essentially lives with the people he works with, does not have a stable address or schedule, and - given that a lot of the safehouses look like they have shared sleeping quarters - effectively no privacy. and just like his job is 80% improvising I feel like his own ‘domestic’ schedule (sleeping showering etc) has to also be done ad-hoc whenever he has a moment of free time. like in Fallout he naps in the back of the van with Lane chained up next to him lol. so feasibly this means there is a scenario in which he just starts brushing his teeth during a mission briefing
#mi.txt#mission impossible#ethan hunt#or to be more historical about it he has a fundamentally different relationship to the modern idea of public/private divisions as a result#of his job. like the work he does essentially collapses those categories in a way contra to how other forms of labour produce said division#but it’s a ‘warped perception’ relative to other people he has to interact with

I am 100% sure that Michael "one must imagine Sisyphus happy" "amor fati" "memento mori" Robinavitch went to liberal arts school and I think he would probably have annoyed me in some 100-level classics class
#my post#source: i went to liberal arts school and met a lot of fundamentally harmless but annoying men in my humanities courses#if you doubt my liberal arts cred please understand that i just tried to read Camus at 10pm on a work night#it didn't go well#the pitt#michael robinavitch#dr robby

it’s been almost a year now… is the bg3 fandom finally ready to talk about how gale’s “hubris” is the sole product of actively feeding his insecurities further and straight up denying him help & guidance when he was at his lowest and needed it most. it’s not one of his core traits and never was. he isn’t some closeted power hungry monster that is just waiting to be enabled. what he wants is admiration, recognition and acceptance. which is also what he sought from mystra before the orb disaster happened. he had no desire whatsoever to become a god himself or challenge her rule, he simply wanted to be seen as sufficient in her eyes (“to serve her better”). to be as equal as he could possibly be in a relationship with a literal deity. he has a deep passion for magic and knowledge that affects almost all areas of his life and enjoys the display thereof. he wants to be the smartest person in the room and enjoys when his work is recognized. he may be perceived as arrogant when it comes to his skill, but he IS NOT hubristic. it truly takes so little for him to be wholly content.
#this is such a fundamental misinterpretation of his character and really grinds my gears#i feel like we really gloss over the fact that he sees the crown as an alternative to NOT DYING#and not something he secretly wanted all along#an option to finally prove that he is ‘worthy enough’#either of himself or the person he’s with#whenever another post pops up talking about how astarion and gale are so similar another angel loses its wings#bg3#astarion was always corrupt long before cazador happened. and even after he seeks power for safety and control#(and partly because of the fun of it)#meanwhile gale? my guy just wants to live. read books. eat good food and be a great wizard recognized for his hard work#gale dekarios#it speaks#neme rambles#i forgot to censor my tags but i’m on mobile so oops
