#SHOULD I MAKE AN ART BLOG???

[luffysscraps]

Well now you have to show us.

FINE I GUESS I WILL-

So this is Koko my One Piece oc. Now in no way shape or form am I a ‘good’ artist. I draw using references that come from bases so if the poses seem familiar that’s why. Not ashamed of that fact and I give props to respected bases used for references.

I’ve posted about her on my rp blog so if you see her there (somehow) just know she’s not stolen. (Who’d want a freak like her anyways?)

-This is my first piece I did with her about 6 months ago in September no references used. It was a free draw to get a feel for my character

-Next up is a another free draw doodle, I saw the egghead opening and had to doodle her in an egghead outfit

-Then here’s a Luffy x Koko drawing I made a few weeks ago. I did use a reference but can’t find where I found the base. I really like this one although the background is shit.💀

-And lastly this one which I finished today. Let’s groove came on and I couldn’t stop myself. I used a reference once again but lost the base because I forgot to name the file correctly—- respect to all base original creators.

-And yeah that’s it for now. PLEASE DON’T BULLY HER I LOVE HERRRRR

SHE’S THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME FROM ROLLING IN THE DEEP‼️‼️‼️

Hi : -] 💚 I've been working on and off on this little comic for months; I'm happy its finally done. This is a first kiss/confession combo for my little Steve + Zombie story ! link, link.

(Yes I have heard that one zombie song and I've watched that one zombie romance movie, its ok.)

All dialogue under the cut!

Steve: Ah- fuck- did I misunderstand you? I'm- I didn't- I'm so sorry... I shouldn't have-

Zombie: You... Steve do you like me??

Steve: ... Uh. Yeah... I do

Zombie: [giggle] Ah... I... uhm... I didnt think that was possible...

Steve: Oh... Why?

Zombie: [sigh] because I'm dead, and an enemy of yours. I assumed you wouldn't like that.

Steve: You're not my enemy, and you're UNdead.

ah.. there's a lot of things I like about you.. y'know? for starters I think youre really cute, um. very handsome, and.. um.. looking at you kinda makes me lose my breath sometimes, and makes me feel like. floaty, or fluttery, if that makes sense.. and the way you act can be really odd, in a very endearing and charming way, you get excited over the weirdest little things.. it makes me wish i could look at the world through your eyes.. and I just love to talk with you, about anything and everything, its become like a highlight of our mining sessions..

I really fell hard for you--

Zombie: -- I like you too.

Steve: I noticed.

if you've got the time and energy, would you mind sharing your thoughts on programs that turn photographs into pixel art? thank you!

honestly people have been using methods to posterize images into pixel art for a while. it has been an issue in the pixel art community before genAI was even a thing. mostly ppl would downscale/posterize a photo to ‘delegitimize’ pixel art by showing how easy it is to ‘achieve’ lol.

but generally it’s easy to tell when an image has been made that way, mostly because of colors blurring way too much, turning into color mud with no contrast and nothing being ‘readable’ (ie trees don’t look like trees just green blobs etc)

i personally do not have an issue with it if someone is doing it for personal usage or having fun. theres also no real program that CAN just turn a photograph into pixel art, generally they use a photoshop technique etc so at least they’re having some creative input? as long as their not using copyrighted photos etc

but the issue will always be disclosing it, if you’re trying to pass off downscaled photos/AI images as your own art that’s morally wrong and very disingenuous.

#there’s a blog on here using AI images downscaled trying to pass it off as their art… #maybe i should call them out too 👁️👄👁️ #they have a kofi and are trying to make money from it sooooO #this ask was v open ended so not sure if i interpreted it right?

hot man hot birdman im so sorry hot fire bird man?!?!

aka glorious gijinka!Tengu Jin design by @hirumi25 has made me 👀💦?!?! because wowie thats some hecking fire design!

#rc9gn #rc9gn tengu #ninjanomicon #human!ninjanomicon #human!tengu #randy cunningham #howard weinerman #hirumi-san i feel like i should apologize because i got overboard a little (maybe???) but i really do love your art so much i often #scroll through your blog to look at it. alsofor calling you Hirumi-san in my head xD it just kinda happened and your name just sounds nice #saying it like that haha. hope you enjoy the sillies art tho it was fun todraw! sometimes one just wants to draw some cool designs ;) #listen i adored hirumi-san's art for YEARS because their First content is some fine food but this humanized tengu was the last straW #i spent days after seeing that art going WOAaaah because literally he looks so cool???? all joking about me simping aside its very silly #but i absolutely adore that you gave him little wrinkles under his eyes it makes him look so dignified and your outfit for him us just *MUA #i wish i could character design like that *sigh*

interesting that, of all the AI topics you could get mad at (deepfakes and revengeporn, people intentionally going out of their way to ignore wishes of artists who ask people not to use their art in it, whatever), tumblr users choose to instead become enraged over AI-generated cats and meme art.

straycatj is not personally ruining the lives of every artist alive by posting an AI made image (that she made for fun) one (1) time. it is not stealing from artists if you generate gay sex cats memes instead of paying someone irl to make it for you. AI discourse went from reasonable concerns to "if you ever generate an AI image, it is akin to letting artists starve in the street, and you are evil" really quick, and ignores, like, every previous "acceptable" AI trend on tumblr (since people now looooove to pretend that "early" AI generation wasn't popular, i fuckin guess).

#sambling #ai #didn't know it needed to be said but harassing the straycatj blog over one (1) ai image made for fun is NOT 'protecting artists' or whateve #you are making yourselves look fucking batshit #at first i agreed w these takes but it only took a few 'if you ever gen AI for fun you are the devil?' posts to realize how extremist it is #like it went from 'perhaps sites scraping art without telling people is shady' to 'if you've ever made ai art for fun you should die'. #as if trends like nightcafe or neuralblender etc didn't happen here??

Embarassingly, I haven't mentioned it on this blog, so I figured I would officially state that I stand against the ongoing ethnic cleansing/genocide of Palestine by Israel. I genuinely don't know what to say other than that I hope every politician - especially those in my country, the US - who has signed off on the murder of what is now twenty thousand civilians suffers forever.

#i saw someone like a post of mine that was very vocal in the opposite direction and realized with horror that most people dont follow #my other accounts #notart #anyway normally i dont make statements about this stuff on my tumblr art blog specifically #but being as the US is complicit i feel it is irresponsible not to at least make my stance known #should have mentioned it sooner on here but i forgot that this account has like. 10 thousand more than any of my other ones

How Chilchuck Expresses Care through Self-Destructive Privacy, and the Desire for Responsibility and Control after Experiencing Prejudice: An Analysis

Long Post + Manga Spoilers + Discussions of Fantasy Racism

I want to discuss how while Chilchuck’s private nature is implied inherent, it is still clearly a result of his work and experiences with racism;

Those experiences shaped his sense of responsibility and desire for control. And I think those affect how he views privacy as an act of care, in addition to defense mechanism.

————

His inherent privacy:

We know he has always been caring yet callous, there-for-others yet afar. Every known interaction with his daughters has been that of a worry or reprimand. This is further established by Marcille’s speculation he has always been “bashful”, even to his wife.

Chilchuck was exploring dungeons for 11 years before his wife left him. She left 1 year after Chilchuck formed the Half-foot Guild. A time when Chilchuck is becoming more invested in his work, and in turn garnering both the hate and respect of many.

This is pure speculation, but I think that timing is interesting; because from Marcille’s fantasy, Chilchuck’s wife worried about all she didn’t know. And gaining the responsibility of union leader would amp that… maybe to the point it seems work is becoming as important as family.

So, not only is Chil’s wife thinking he prefers his work because it’s lively and she’s boring (Marcille’s fantasy), but she’s seeing how important he is to it, and it to him. Which is why he finally opened up after a decade.

And, of course, Chilchuck thought that if he doesn’t talk to her about work, she’ll worry less. But that only made her worry more.

His mindset that openness brings harm was then firmly cemented by her leaving. Because introducing her to his colleagues was being open. (Marcille says this in Bicorn but I can’t add the image.)

————

So why does Chilchuck not want people to worry about him? And how does race play into that?

To Chilchuck, emotional vulnerability is the same as his physical vulnerability. His attitude is beyond the result of “hard work toughens you over time”. He has to be stand-offish because it’s literally his only defense.

The way Kui wrote Chilchuck was to be the most subverted of stereotypes, yet still victim to prejudice. No matter how hard he tried.

He is a father. He is the most mature of the party. He likes alcohol and hates sweets. He talks about women. Given race relativity, he is oldest and tallest of the party. He could not behave older if he wanted. And yet, he is viewed at surface level, a child.

Also, when the other half-foots do recognize his age and autonomy, he gets labeled as the other half-foot stereotype: greedy.

Chilchuck knows, unlike Mickbell, that half-foots shouldn’t use how they’re perceived as a child to their advantage. It only adds to the greedy stereotype, it will never bring change. He wants change because he’s experienced the most.

So he takes the responsibility of setting an example of dominance, regardless of those opinions of him, because he knows he has the agency many half-foots don’t, according to Adventurer’s Bible.

And he’s viewed as greedy despite the guild’s selfless intent. Reminder, it was founded to protect Half-foots from being disposable. (+ the naivety of his youth shows how much his experiences have compounded his nature, no matter how “bashful” he started.)

Chilchuck aims to protect his people. And knows he’s the person suited for that. Which is why he wants to help Half-foots before his retirement.

He is highly aware of his place, because he’s so often “put into place” due to his race. He’s particular in how everyone has a specific duty to uphold, frequently reiterating it fact in Kakiage. (I’ll elaborate on his pride in this later.)

————

This leads to how he prioritizes others before himself.

Group over the individual, a mindset built from being a union leader and a father. A mindset from responsibility. (Again, responsibility fostered by prejudice.)

Obviously, Chil doesn’t think he should be a “lure” or “bait”, but his job is essentially testing death so others don’t.* His party role is a selfless one.

The others need to worry about him less, and trust he knows what he’s doing, to live as a whole.

And the ways he make them care less, is to be private. And a way to be private is to be self-destructive. If people are not given reason to love him, or are given reason to hate him, then he can be risky. (Among the other mentioned reasons he’s so secretive.)

For example, he prioritizes others through a general privacy by not calling for help so they wouldn’t be at risk.

However, he more often prioritizes others by being self-critical. For example, agreeing with Leed that he’s a selfish coward. When he, unknowingly, just wanted to save his friends’ lives. This is one way to create distance, it’s still privacy.

Or for example, how he demonizes himself into a cheater. He still protects the image of the wife who left him over himself. (Mind you, he didn’t figure out why she left, except that it must be his fault. Chilchuck is very self-critical, he constantly thinks he’s responsible for everyone else. So ofc he wouldn’t do that.)

And a more general examples of him not prioritizing himself was when he thought Izutsumi ran away due to him, so he tries to search despite illness. Or, just recklessly running into the mimic room to “save” the treasure bug.

————

Correlating the past 2 points of priority + privacy and race + responsibility into a desire for control:

*Autonomy is the difference between Chil risking sacrificing himself in a trap versus being forced into one. And he takes pride in that willing sacrifice cause he knows it’s useful to everyone, but expertise exclusive to half-foots. Use of this skill is a way to gain more respect and control for the half-foot reputation.

Chilchuck is constantly trying to prove he is “more”. He is not “half” of anything. (Dunmeshi exemplifies that physiology and lifespan in every race are limitations, it just depends on your goals. Vice versa, they can be strengths.)

Also, the sheer fact he’s a father amplifies his natural tendency to control.

————

TLDR

Chilchuck cares about others more than himself, especially in terms of individual versus group survivability, individual versus societal change.

And this comes from constantly being looked down upon. He subverts stereotypes yet gets viewed as them. He knows he’s the only one with the experience and agency to fight it regardless.

His choice of work combats prejudice through setting an example and he establishes the union. In order to effectively work, his “care” expresses itself as “privacy”. Self-destruction contributes to this privacy.

Finally, what’s so fascinating is how this mindset is so layered within itself. But, eventually, he learns it’s okay to be open :)
