#and then let my mind do the rest

[explanationpoint]

…

#she called me today #not gonna see her on Friday #i am the worst #I will deffo go on Friday but I am going to have to drag myself #i overthink everything when i like someone #i like to look at something #assess it #understand that it is categorically not going to happen #and then think ‘but what if it happened to me?’ #and then let my mind do the rest #a schizoid type of love. desperately looking for patterns that aren’t there #for example during our call she was ending her sentences with a giggle for a bit. Kind of a lot. but it was a short call #really beautiful sound #and I’ve been on the other ends of phone calls where I’m doing a friendly haha at the end when I just want it to be over #because (and I know I’m the worst I know) IT IS LITERALLY HER JOB #so that’s why she does it #but you know it also sounded like other phone calls I’ve made. where I want to show that I’m interested and focused but also light and airy #laughing just like that #she doesn’t know. She wouldn’t talk like this to me if she knew. and I’m just a guy with big brown eyes and a little charm #that’s why she’s nice to me #social mores. it can’t be any other reason. I mean maybe I’m okay conversation lord knows I can throw a lot of words out there #but it’s mostly social mores #but i’m still excited to see her again #cause I do it to myself

Burnt out

#initially this was meant to be something else entirely #but i wasn't really liking how it was going so I scrapped the idea and opted out for something a bit more personal #ive been really suffering from burn out for the last few years and just barely keeping my head above water #there are times where i seriously feel like ive failed in every aspect of my career #like if i were good enough i wouldn't have burnt out #i love my job and i love my trade i love every skill ive gain up until this point #but its been hard not to take it personally when all the effort you've put into honing those skills #are abused or exploited #life is difficult enough already and and time is fleeting #taking time for yourself is above all the most important thing you can do to help your work flourish #taking a break isn't failure #its health #we aren't machines despite our industries treating us as such #just waiting and hoping that itll pay off #ive certainly learned my lesson #and im looking forward to brighter horizons #and healthier more respectful ones #ill be okay ive learned how to love my art in my personal time again #but i certainly need to let my mind rest and my body to recover #these tags are lengthy anyways #unionize and dont work for nothing from large companies #be gay do drugs love your friends make art for yourself too #my art #scuttles out of here #i hope these long ass images actually show up in full resolution #i did draw them fucking TOLL as hell

Nothing like a story where the happy ending is death aaghh

#just thinking don't mind me. #when a character is so haunted throughout life that even a peaceful happy ever after is just not... it. #and the truly the kindest thing is eternal rest. at last. #never will they have to be burdened or push through endless sorrow again. #FUCK YEAH LET'S GO. i love stories that claw my heart and soul out. #it's like having a bruise. it hurts when you touch it but you can't help but do it again.

Vasco and Machete are absolutely adorable, your style is so lovely and you draw the softest beds I’ve ever seen in any art ever

.

#thank you! #softest beds is a whole new compliment that's so sweet #let me go off on a weird and personal tangent for a minute #I've always found the concept of sleeping very touching somehow #it's this mandatory resting period literally everyone has to plan their life around no one has the power to avoid sleeping #if you neglect it your mind and body start to break down very quickly #sleep is such a neutral state of being no one is particularly sad or happy or evil or good while they're asleep they're just logged off #sleeping feels nice it's rejuvenating it's one of the few universal pleasures every single person has an access to #and I find it terribly cute how people have different little bedtime rituals #socks on socks off various pillow and blanket arrangements certain sounds that make them sleepy etc #and sleeping next to someone is such an act of trust #it's extremely intimate as is sex doesn't necessarily have to factor into it #getting comfortable and going unconscious with someone at the same place at the same time that just touches my heart #especially if you're invited into their bed which is a very private space a person's own little nest where the world can't reach them #even if you fall asleep in public transport there's this vulnerability to it and for the most part people respect the sanctity of sleep #and tend to leave sleeping people alone at least in my limited experience #I like drawing my characters sleeping because it feels like I'm doing them a favor granting them a little respite #anonymous #answered

hello sea i hope you’re having a great day !!!

if you don’t mind could you break down how you draw bodies? nothing in depth, just the basic guidelines ! i’m trying to get better with anatomy and i don’t think the guidelines i use right now are the best… i love the way you do anatomy and was hoping to see your process of getting an initial pose down and making sure the proportions look right :D

ty in advance and no worries if you don’t feel like explaining / doing a guide !! 💙

Ok forgive me for leaving this unanswered for months, I promise I wasn’t ignoring it I was just busy and also trying to figure out how to best answer this aljskjs

Ok anyways so I broke down the absolute basic basic steps that I like to do for my figure, but I didn’t quite get into the specifics of anatomy and stuff like that (I’d have to do a whole lecture slide and well…. That’ll take much muccchhhhh longer) but anywho!

So I’m certainly not the be-all and end-all of anatomy/pose advice, but I’ve found that breaking down the figure like this into simple shapes is one of the best way I figure out a pose in the years I’ve taken classes/figure drawing myself. A good exercise is to do some gesture drawings with a time limit (for speedy folks like myself (hehe) I like to keep the sketches down to seconds! But if you make a nice sketch in say… 3-5 minutes, that’s a good time!) gesture drawings are literally just drawing people posing (live drawing sessions are really fun, but pictures are just as effective! I’ll say Pinterest is pretty solid for looking up dynamic poses to practice with, but if you just look up something like “dynamic poses online” you can find lots of solid sites that have collected poses over the years! Also do mind some of these have nude models option so if you are in public, at work, and if you’re a minor, please mind those options) another good method is to actually directly trace the figure itself. Not to get too into the ethics of tracing or whatever (good for practice… bad for “saying it’s yours and whatever”), but sometimes tracing the figure directly can help you understand what parts of the body connects to what, and overall would help you identify the various body parts a little better. But yeah! So that’s the gist of it. Again I haven’t gone too deep into the technicalities of anatomy as I would take much longer to do so (one day I will!) but I hope this answers at least a part of your question and helps you on your artistic journey :3

#asks #ok I think I said all I wanted to say #let me know if there was anything else you wanted to know! #for more specifics I’ll def have to take longer on it #…perhaps I’ll make a video… hm… that would be fun #also don’t mind uh. my. not so great graphic designishjgdjhdhjdh I in a car doing this lmaooooooooo #ah no I didn’t do this all in a car I did half at home and the rest while being driven #anyways #hm… what else do I tag this was uhhh #art guide #how to #yeah ok

what kills me is how people here in the west are so …. willfully, blissfully, ignorant of what’s transpiring in palestine. like i have even seen poc, even seen HIJABIS still buying starbucks and i’m like …… i guess dumbfounded at this point. “oh but it’s just one drink” “oh but my one dollar won’t make a difference if i spent it or not” “well it’s not my problem, the middle east is always at war”

are people so arrogant they think they are the exception to what’s happening in palestine? in fact. the victim blaming against the palestinians is insane “well they should’ve just left” “well they should’ve agreed to a ceasefire” “well they shouldn’t have let hamas take over” you guys make me sick to my stomach!!!! my god this rhetoric is so narcissistic it hurts!!!!!

#like i eat and i think of palestine i think of the children starving to death in gaza i think of people making bread from CAT FOOD #i sleep i think how i can’t sleep unless my dog is warming my feet or i wake up groggy without my humidifier #people in gaza can’t even sleep they can’t even rest the killing the violence doesn’t even stop for a minute!!! #i wear my expensive clothes i do my makeup i do my hair i wear mt perfume and i want to cry thinking that like #are the women of gaza not worthy? do they not deserve this level of luxury or happiness? #will the little boys and girls of gaza ever get to play with their moms makeup and ruin it in the process? #i don’t know how anyone can let anything else consume their minds these days #shame on you. may your time also come. may the world look away in remembrance of those you scorned #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #free palestine #free gaza #free the west bank #occupied palestine #israel is a terrorist state

I know it’s a pretty common chosen/kid hero thing to joke about our trauma all like “LMAO yeah I stopped the end of the world when I was in middle school nbd” and Feel numb to it for a while but at some point when your life has actually been going normal for a long enough time you have those moments at like... 5 am where you reflect on how actually fucked up all of that was and then you either want to punch a wall or cry or both

and then you feel like shit but don’t wanna tell anyone bc you think “everything is fine right now I have no reason to be upset or dump it on anyone else”

it's sound weird, but i have headcanon that Hunter didn't go hexside, because he too old to shool(according to my feelings, at the end of the he is 16-17 y.o (except for the post-credits scene), and at that age it is already too late to go to school):p

i mean, well- in my opinion he rather certainly did go to hexside, since one of the things he'd said during his TTT monologue was "i'd like to attend hexside like a normal student and play flyer derby with my friends" and all of his "wishes" were supposed to sort of foreshadow his goals and his future (carving palismen, studying wild magic, etc etc) so i feel like it's safe to say he succeeded in becoming a hexside student as well. we also know he attended grom with the rest of his friend group, and like- since he's 16 before the timeskip (no canon certainty whether he's recently turned 16 or is going on 17 already though, but like... around 16 canonically) that means he'd get at least 1 year of school, but most likely 2+.

my personal headcanon is that he went to hexside for around 2 years (full or not quite, depending on when the school year starts in the boiling isles and how long it lasts; possibly even 3), and during that time he picked up a mentorship/apprenticeship at del's palisman carving shop, and after he graduated from hexside he started carving palismen professionally with the clawthornes (i like to think that he also takes some courses at eda's wild magic university in his spare time, simply cuz . funny uni hexsquad shenanigans)

#like imo him being like ''i dream abt going to hexside'' and then not getting to attend hexside cuz he's ''too old to start'' or sth #would be kinda cruel since he already lost sooo much of his childhood because of belos. and he wants to be a hexside student #he deserves to have these few years of the typical teenage experience that he so desperately longs for #ofc it's not gonna make up for ALLLL the years of childhood that he'd lost. but even 2 years of the experience? would mean So much to him #not to even mention that the idea of him just... sitting at home or JUST carving palismen or doing whatever for halfa day for the 2-4 years #just cuz he's ???? ''too old'' or it's ''too late for him to start high school at his age'' or anything similar ? #while the rest of his friends get to go to school and learn and socialize and attend classes everyday without him . sounds so lonely #and he had already spent most of his life sheltered and separated from everyone so . yeah. #he'd still technically have to finish hexside like 1-2 years before the rest of hexsquad buuuuut y'know. his situation is very unique #so i could also imagine bump/eda agreeing to let him go to school a year or so longer so that he could finish it alongside his friends #but that's like mm i also can see him finishing it a year early compared to the rest of hexsquad and starting fulltime at the palisman shop #but either way; yes to at least 1-2 years at hexside in my mind #now COLLEGE? i Could see him not going to uni since he's already got the palisman business going and is doing well and wants to chill #BUT personally i still like to imagine that he attends classes there part-time #nicole answers #my toh talk #hunter toh #verocorne

Hot take: I’m actually really unsatisfied with the ending of the Bluey special. I know it’s a kids show and I try to keep it in mind when viewing but I have strong opinions and as a kid who had to move a lot due to adult circumstances I just think them not committing to moving was the unsatisfactory answer that pulled back on the life story they were going for.

#Bluey #this is just my opinion and the rest of the episode was dear #I liked Rad and Frisky deciding not to move because that was more his wishes than hers #and they had to communicate and compromise #I also thought they were gunna go with Rad and Frisky buying their house lol #but I also thought they would commit to moving #here’s my thoughts: #lots of kids have to move and they do not have the privileges or option to stay #it feels like wishful thinking that they would #and also I feel like Bandit and Chili changing their minds undermines the ‘am I making a mistake’ ‘probably but let’s make it together’ #idk as someone who had to move I feel like this would’ve made me feel bad tbh
