sometimes it looks like game mike has eyelashes personally i love that top tier even if i'm making things up. man i love men i wish they were real

Michael maybe dead but his mascara game is on point

#ask reply #I ACTUALLY see wym #I think it’s just the way I draw eyes #I always do them sorta sharp you could say? for certain characters #and with Michael’s eyes being totally blacked out #it just gives those sharp edges this eyelash look #more of a happy accident #I THINK it looks nice so I’ll definitely keep doing it #give men eyelashes in your art 🔥

a short comic about struggling to find yourself.

#for a lot of 2022 i felt so lost #i felt i was slipping from my identity as an artist #and outside of that i had no idea what the hell else i had to offer #also having a crisis over officially being /in/ my 20s #i feel somewhat obligated to mention i dont feel this way anymore #and making comics and poems out of my feelings feels cathartic #maybe this resonates on some level #maybe it doesnt #just know you have time #and its okay to just live mundanely #so long as youre happy #thats enough #btw i sincerely hope i dont come off as self congratulatory or like bossy with these under the cut analyses #i started them off a whim and ppl said they liked seeing them so i include them #but if its annoying i can stop #comic art #illustration #thank you for reading #as always #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics #its 10pm

Back to the regular programming. Have a wip! Still working on that thing. Things still progress as they were - sometimes I sit and draw a lot in one go, then I have to put it off for many weeks at a time; or I simply just don't have that much energy/focus to be creative - just life being life. But I'm forging ahead. With the help of my friend, all typos or grammar mistakes are now fixed, too, so that's one thing I thankfully don't have to think about anymore. Now I "just" need to keep and keep and keep on drawing, until it's all finished. Wish me luck.

Been reading Law Novel 👍

(super legally and not at all from a Google Docs English fan translation 👀)

WOLF ONE PIECE I KNOW YOURE NOT CANON BUT YOU REMAIN FOREVER FAMOUS TO MEEEE!!!

(Handwriting translations under the cut)

1-

Law: Junk-ya this is Bepo. He’s a polar bear and he’s going to live with us now. Be nice

Bepo: He brought me here without explaining anything..sorry….

2-

I like this sad old man :)

3-

Wolf: I swear, I let ONE kid stay - out of pure convenience - and they just kept multiplying!

Dadan: Tell me about it…

Both of them, thinking: I LOVE MY FUCKIN KIIIIDDDDSSSS!!!!

#tho I do acknowledge that wolf’s role - at least towards Law - is not exactly parental #which is one of the reasons Law likes it so much - since he’s being taken seriously after all the Trauma™️ #but regardless it’s full of love and they are ‘his kids’ - as in the kids he houses and who follow him around and feel happy living with him #they’re family. but maybe not in the father-son way like you may define his and Cora’s relationship #but the love and safety that comes from having a kind adult to look out for you and prepare you for life as you go through it #or the joy of having a young person in your house who looks up to you and brings joy/meaning to your life is all still there #it’s kinda the same for Dadan actually - though different cuz of the ages and ways that she got her kids are much different- especially Ace #plus wolf does it voluntarily lmao. not to diss Dadan ofc I love her - but it’s sweet to see how non-reluctant this guy is #Law has always been so loved - even if he kept losing the people who loved him for a while - and it makes me so emotional #anyway i love him #he’s canon in my heart stfu 😭 #one piece #one piece fanart #my art #trafalgardwaterlaw #trafalgar law #one piece law #law novel #novel law #one piece novel law #wolf one piece #genius inventor wolf #one piece wolf #one piece bepo #bepo one piece #curly dadan #one piece dadan #heart pirates

Oof I'm kinda scared to ask... Why do you not want to be an artist professionally?

Its just like, incredibly miserable in my experience.

Everyone wants their dream job of being paid to draw whatever the hell they want but 99% of the time you are hired and tasked to draw things that you don't have a lot of interest in, professionally speaking, and constantly getting your artistic efforts undermined by the rest of the team (this is esp. true in the videogame industry) artists always try to push for better designs and get their takes watered down for the sake of general public pleasing. Also you don't have a security blanket unless you're under long term contract. Most freelancers live gig to gig with the fear of not being able to support themselves if they don't take a job to take a break. Videogame and movie jobs arent stable because companies never keep the art teams, they are laid off and rehired whenever there is a new project

During my major, I drew nonstop for 4 years for class. Not always things I enjoyed, but also not always things I didnt like. In fact I enjoyed my major immensely! It was so fun. But the burnout is very, very real, and the workload was similar (even inferior to) regular art jobs. What happens if you like to draw in your off time? You spend your days making and pumping out art nonstop for hours, and then on your free time breaks you draw some more? I personally couldn't do it. I just wanted to do other things

And like.... I spent the first three years being told by teachers (people with stable, contract based jobs) how cool of a job it is to do art, and then the last year getting grilled on how insanely hard it is to make it out there. If you don't have connections, money, an audience, a studio, it's actually impossible. You need to be your own lawyer, abide by the very strict self employment rules that take a severe chunk out of your earnings. Do all of your finance/schedule/marketing etc while on top of that constantly producing work (I know there's people who can do it but, personally, I cannot) I really admire the people who were able to build themselves up as artists from the ground like this (because its definitely possible, just insanely hard)

Also, making something you love into your job ends up being miserable too. I experienced this with patreon, which I posted to as like a chill thing and it just got increasingly hard to make content for it or just post in general, even drawing my own ocs and sharing stuff about them started to feel like a chore.

Maybe it's just me though, this has just been my personal experience but yeah in general I realized I am immensely happier just keeping art as a hobby or its gonna suck my soul out (Since I already experienced it)

I don't mean to discourage anyone, I think the world in general needs more artists. But for that we would need to actually be taken seriously and valued, which sadly we are not, at all. And if there's anyone reading that is considering art as a job: it is absolutely grueling. It's not an easy job. Even if you desperately love art it can suck the life out of you and the joy for what you do

(As an extra sidenote. Artists are usually exploited using this mentality as well. That they are supposed to love their job. So they expect you to work your wrists off "For the passion". Dont fall victim to it)

#ask #anon #genuinely i just wanna share my stories and content. see others stories in turn and make friends about it #the desperate need to monetize everything that makes you happy is such an insidious mentality. #people need to learn that you can have hobbies without needing to monetize them. your joy has inherent value and you dont need to sell it #like... i need people to stop being like 'oh you are so good at art/crochet/writing you should sell things : )' it fucking sucks #there is a lot of nuance to the topic of course but im talking like. in general #doing art out of ones heart is always good but having to pump out content under the crushing wheel of capitalism and need to survive is not #this is about my experience with drawn art but this goes for any other artistic discipline #music... writing... etc. we are all in the same boat #sorry for the long winded answer and tags i am just so passionate about this #and especially as someone whos skill wasnt taken seriously until i started making money from it........ fuck that so fucking much #you are allowed to create. in fact you should create. without feeling the need to put a price on it #not everything needs a price tag to be valuable. #especially not your joy.

[gayestcowboy]

my most toxic trait as an artist who is also primarily an instrumental musician is that it bothers me immensely when people draw incorrectly held instruments. if i had infinite time and energy i would love to make a reference image pack of correctly held musical instruments

#it’s usually the worst with flute and unfortunately flute is my primary instrument #and just googling stock images of people with instruments is how to find the most egregious and horrifically wrong shit #if you want to know how to draw someone playing an instrument id recommend looking up videos of professionals playing and taking screenshots #or even just looking up how to hold it so you have a better understanding #i dont think the modern western flute is a very intuitive instruemnt to hold and it requires specific instruction #so just knowing where the flute rests in your hand will allow you to draw someone holding it correctly #i hope this doesn’t sound condescending lol this is just me complaining because i love complaining #dont ever feel as though you cant draw people holding instruments just because you might do it wrong #i love seeing people draw characters playing instruments it always makes me happy :) #and a lot of my own internal criticism of people in art holding instruments wrong comes from the ingrained western superiority ever present #within western classical musicians #that is our responsibility to examine and unlearn #anyways thank you musicology class for making me Think A Lot #yeehaws

teeny tiny animation i made in a day for paul's birthday : )

#tumblr exclsuive and im not tagging it so you only see it if youre here...thanks for sticking with me folks #its no truck stop tiger but it will do for now. i had a lot of fun. #i can only make things like this when powered by nothing but very strong emotion and inadvisable stupidity. And deadlines #i was planning to do a big painting ...i worked on it for a few days this week. #i was very frustrated with it and this morning i decided i just wanted to do something else. #i may not draw as much pscop these days (i dont draw as much in general to be honest) but its still my favorite thing on earth. #and im always very glad to get the chance to express some strong emotion about it through art when i can. #so todays strong emotion is : Aggggghhhhhhhhhhh i love these characters so much im gonna gnaw my arms off #song is purgatory modulation engine by ada rook : ) #enjoy and i hope youre all doing well!!! #happy paulidays.

Someday I'll clean this up but finally decided to make a colored version of that outfit I always put Adrien in. I'll probably change a few colors later but right now this is good enough. In any case this is my first addition to the series of "drawing Adrien like an actual model in different outfits" that I plan on doing but perhaps not sticking to a regular schedule because I suck at that. The others will come when they come. It's still great to draw again and make really messy art. Ugh, how I missed it. This outfit is heavily inspired by one of Kiro's outfits from Mr Love: Queen's Choice.

#TB's art #my art #miraculous ladybug #adrien agreste #ml fanart #drawing adrien like an actual model #as he deserves #ugh it's so good to see it in full color #also it's fun to draw him all happy #i know modeling isn't his favorite thing but he's wearing Marinette's lucky charm #so surely he's in a good mood because of that #Gabe has like 3 logos by the way #why Gabe??? You don't even put them on any of your designs aside from that one outfit your son always wears

hello i believe you asked to be reminded about petalpressed? that sounds very interesting do explain

Hello yes! okay so rundown of Petalpressed:

In general, Petalpressed is an AU template I created that focuses on flower symbolism. It's like a combo hanahaki and soulmate tattoos au, except only taking the best parts of both. So everybody has a "living" tattoo somewhere on their body of a plant (or plant-adjacent, it's very broad - so fungi, lichens, algae, etc also count). The plant, in some way, represents or symbolizes the individual, usually via flower language, though it's totally a personalized thing so you can get as funky with it as you want. It can be absolutely anywhere on their body (face/head, back, legs, etc), take up a completely random amount of space (tip of finger vs entire torso, etc), and it will change based on the state of the individual.

Okay rest including PJO-ification under the cut cause this got long:

For example, when the person is a baby their tattoo will appear as just a seed or bulb or whatever is applicable for that plant. The plant will also probably be semi-ambiguous at that point or change plant types as babies don't really have a ton of defining traits. By the time they start settling into being an individual they'll get a more clear plant and it will most likely stay that for the rest of their lives, unless they experience a major shift in their identity that would cause it to change. It also is unlikely to change locations on the body unless for the same reason. The plant will also reflect the person's physical or emotional state, such as wilting if they're very sick or upset, blooming if they're extremely happy, etc etc. Some people may also have generalized versus specific tattoos, such as general "roses" rather than "roses of a specific color" in which case their tattoo may change colors to match mood/plant language associated with that specific color of the plant/or just at random, depending on person.

The soulmate/hanahaki thing comes in when the person develops romantic feelings or enters a mutual romantic relationship (specific because i'm aroace so I like including normalization of not having a partner, even QPP - there's still leeway there though with how individuals categorize "romantic" and obviously it's a template so there's freedom to mess with it). If they have a crush they may start coughing up the plant or parts of the plant associated with that person, though it doesn't cause them any physical harm. Does the coughing-up-petals thing go away once the relationship is reciprocated or is it just a thing that Happens When You're In Love Sometimes At Random? Who knows. You decide. If they enter a mutual romantic relationship with someone, their partner's (or partners') plants or a part of their plants will appear beside their own, and will change depending on the state of the relationship or partner's physicality or emotions. If their relationship is going well, the plant may bloom, if it's going poorly it may wilt, etc, and same if the partner(s) are upset/sick/etc. If the relationship breaks off or is no longer reciprocated the secondary plant will disappear, and if it left a particularly strong impact on the individual, residual parts of the partner/partners' plant(s) may be left behind, such as leaves, seeds, or petals. It depends on the person/relationship if those remnants will ever go away or how long it may take.

"Plant compatibility" is totally a horoscope-type thing in this universe alongside stereotypes of types of plants, and that's where the "soulmate" concept comes in. It is up to discretion if it is actual soulmates or just coincidental, but in-universe there is an idea of "If you share an exact plant with somebody, you are soulmates." Again, re: horoscope thing, here it could totally just be a coincidental thing based on "If you share a plant that is meant to symbolize you, chances are you have similar personalities and so will get along." There may be people with the total opposite perspective - "Don't date someone with the same plant" because maybe having similar personalities means you'll totally clash. Those concepts probably co-exist in practicality. Lots of variety. Also totally up to customization if the plants have to be local to where the person's from or be from anywhere or how much you want to stretch the definition of "plant" or etc etc. Lots of fiddling options.

I do have a sideblog for it as a more generalized template - @petal-pressed. Since it's a template, it's meant to be applicable to any fandom and totally free to use, and I occasionally post prompts on that blog. And again, the template intentionally lots of room for fiddling and freedom.

Anyways the PJOification of all of this:

"What ships are this au" Whatever's funniest/most dramatic in the moment. Go wild. Make your own variations or whatever.

Everybody's plants: (subject to change)

Percy & Annabeth - Bluebells (They match) - Annabeth's on arm where she got stabbed, Percy on small of back.

Grover - False goat's beard, placement undecided

Piper - Anemone (plant not animal), placement undecided

Jason - Forget-me-nots, right forearm

Leo - Hydrangea, placement undecided

Hazel - Clover, possibly forearm

Frank - Undecided but Snapdragons maybe, possibly forearm

Reyna - Jonquil, possibly forearm

Nico - Dandelions, wrist

Will - Sunflowers, side of torso/back

Luke - Originally Lilacs on face, changes to Rhododendron and spreads to shoulder/armpit.

Thalia - Eastern White Pine, placement undecided

Calypso - Undecided but Hibiscus or Zinnia maybe, placement undecided

I have some other notes for other characters but theyre all very noncommittal

I made a lot of random moodboards for this au but since they were just for personal use I don't have the credits for the images and so will not post those. If people are interested I might take requests to make new ones though. They're quite fun for me to make.

And random doodles - The first one is an extremely old one that was just me fiddling with random designs + cameo Solangelo to show off how the plant tattoos might look

And then some more recent ones:

I usually do aro/ace Leo for these aus, so here's him pretending to cough up plants as if he had a crush ^

and some silly Jasico ^

Some other misc fun notes I had for random things:

"Is this canon-verse au or non-canon-verse?" you may be asking. The answer is. Depends. You decide. Again this is not a fully fledged singular au it's just me rotating a template in my brain and it happened to be formed around PJO initially.

Because Percy and Annabeth both have bluebells as their flower, when Percy disappears and loses his memory, both he and Annabeth can't tell if they have only their own flowers or the flowers of two people and it totally freaks them out.

Also because they share flowers, when Nico has his crush on Percy and is thus coughing up bluebells, people presume he has a crush on Annabeth because those are her flowers too. He's not having a great time.

One variant of the thoughts my friends and I brainstormed for Jason was that he and Reyna were dating before he disappeared, and when he lost his memory it also made Reyna's flowers disappear from his tattoo completely. It took longer for Jason's flowers to fade from Reyna's tattoo and she just got to watch Jason's flowers change depending on his state wherever he was until they disappeared too.

Nymphs are obviously pretty one-for-one with their plant. If they even have tattoos is up to you. Either way this does mean Lavinia is coughing up poison oak though so she's having a bit of a rough time. She thinks it's totally worth it though. The coughed-up plants don't really hurt you as bad as the actual plant might, if at all, so she's fine in general.

I had other thoughts too but i'm forgetting.

uhh anyways yeah i think that's about it. woo flower au.
