CHARLIE TELL ME ABT PEETAS ART <3

Okay guys. Hold on. Get ready.

One aspect of Peeta's character that I feel is so overlooked/misunderstood is his identity as an artist. In the movies, we don't even really delve into it! The most we get is his painting of Rue in Catching Fire, when in the books we get so much more! And you'd think, with all that in the books, people would understand it a bit better.

But they don't!

This is absolutely zero hate to anyone that does any of these things, this is just my opinion!

When reading fics, it's a common occurrence that people will include Peeta's identity as an artist but not truly understand his art. They will give him a heavily abstract style, describing smears and splatters. To me, this reads as a person who doesn't have as much experience with the fine details of what it means to be an artist. In the books, Peeta is anything but abstract! Katniss describes how he perfectly captures images and scenes from the Games. When you layer that with his talent for hyper realistic camouflage (I will never be over that being attributed to him being a baker in the movies), you come to realize that Peeta is a painter that works in fine, realistic details. Not "sporadic splashes of color," as I've seen in some fics. (Again! No hate! I know not everyone is as deranged about this as me.)

Then that brings me to thinking about specifics. What do I think his art resembles? Well, we know he can do near photo realism. But when he's just working for himself, I think his art takes on more of a romantic style. For many reasons (including the fact that he has a romantic little heart), the first of which being this:

Just look. Look at that. You're telling me Peeta "soft like a sunset" Mellark wouldn't depict his one true love (the sky) like this.

The second reason is that romanticism itself was born in an era of revolution/social change! So not only do I think it fits him stylistically, but it fits him thematically! Look at this! This is the face of romanticism!

(Just think about him depicting his OTHER one true love like this 🤭)

In conclusion, think about Peeta's art however you want. There is no wrong interpretation! This is just my personal idea of his artistic identity.

#the hunger games #peeta mellark #nobody cares #i know that #but it just irks me when people dont care enough to cherish his artistic identity #and just make him do random splatter art #i enjoy abstract art! #its just not him #in MY opinion

I become 300% more of both a lover and a hater when I'm on my period. just a time of the month when I have strong opinions I would say

#i want to kiss a butch for 3 hours. also i'm the only one in the world with correct opinions about everything #me the main character of life #anyway i saw this post complaining about sanitized mass marketable queer art #where the person described themselves based on the interests i guess they thought were most stereotypical and then were like #isn't there something rawer or more real than this #to which i would say there is! but you went to the queer market day #idk it is a frustration of mine too i do get it #but i think some people could stand to just get weirder and like the things they like #idk i buy cute little queer stickers all the time but i regularly stand out as a strange person in both queer and straight communities #get a friend who worked the same shit job who will sell you abstract alien art they made while they were high it's not hard #go to goodwill more. you'll find some raw expressions of humanity. #if you just want your interests to be more genuine to you it's simple #you just have to accept that maybe 2 other people will be able to rec you music or foods you enjoy #being more specific isn't everything it's cracked up to be sometimes #i think the problem here is mainly capitalism

No memories remain of anything before

Yes, I'm with you in a garden of carnage

In a mayhem of trickster and tricked!

#amphibia #marcy wu #my art #okokok so- #i'm gonna do my best to explain this #because most of the art i make is some form of abstract/surreal #and most have a deeper meaning that will only makes sense to me and me only #but this one i wanna try and explain #anyway- #so it's supposed to represent conversation with yourself #like a shower argument if you will #but like talking to yourself #and enjoying the convo because nobody else but you will #like marcy could talk to anne or sasha about whatever but they wouldn't like or participate at all in the way marcy both wants/needs #so the only person marcy can have a real conversation with is herself #that's why the phone isn't connected to anything #what they're talking about isn't for anyone else to listen to #it's just for them because they know nobody else won't talk to them like they can #but that's it #hope that made any sense lmao

beast

A short comic about being in love with danger. Featuring my Tav, Vanquish, and Kith'rak Voss from BG3. Although you don't have to know anything about them to enjoy.

TW; nudity, violence, blood, sexual themes

Note: an explanation of the Tir'su used at the end. Art and words by me. 6 pages

Cover Tir'su: Nal - spawn/creature/beast; strange one (created by me) Page 1 Tir'su: Adilshar - first among many

The meaning of this word ‘first among many’ has different connotations depending on context, and for some githyanki, depending on creche, and even city in the Astral. It can elude to a title, a formality, something a little more casual. I’ve seen githyanki use it to refer to their favourite lover or companion.

However, primarily, thousands of years ago it was used largely by those in a position of power to those below them as a title of honour and singling them out to a special, almost near equal respect. In a way, it was levelling someone to your worth. One of the highest honours of githyanki. The first among many. I see you. I respect you. (a canon word with an expanded/HC meaning by me)

Page 6 Tir'su: Z’varc - a derivation of ‘z’vart’rac’, blood insane.

Blood insane to blood lust, but carnal. If you ask a githyanki what it means in common, they’ll probably say something like ‘blood wild’ or ‘bleed me dry, fuck me wet’. Mates and lovers started shortening the original version to this one, and it’s lived on to now heavily through their raiding culture. (created by me)

The singular Tir'su you see throughout the comic means 'V'.

--------------

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed.

This was a bit of a catharthis for me, but also just a labour of love for my OTP. Vanquish is afraid of what love means to her. Voss doesn't really know what it means anymore. They find their answer and comfort together, half-way, when they bleed.

I'm back. This has been on my easel for maybe 5 months waiting to be finished. A heaven for the damned.

Charcoal, ink, pastel and water on 16" x 20" canvas. 3D effect with hot glue, thread, and wire.

My assumption is that you may like Revolutionary Girl Utena, or maybe you never saw it but have thought about watching it

i actually watched a bit of utena & drew these pieces below! but this was way back in 2016 and i didn't finish the series (like almost everything i watch haha hence why i prefer reading)

it takes a lot of mental energy and effort for me to start a new series (i'm not a binger and i'm very selective of my media), and with how dreamy and abstract utena can be, i really gotta be in the right mood to watch a series like that. it seems the stars just haven't aligned for me to continue it. maybe one day i'll go back...

#ask #anonymous #additionally speaking of utena and other works by the director. i also really enjoyed mawaru penguindrum growing up #actually the first fandom i got into on tumblr was probably mawaru penguindrum #send me more assumptions if yall like.. im very curious what my brand is . if i even have one #it is so so hard to get into like.. um. abstract? psychological stuff for me though? i dont know if i can classify these under an umbrella #sarazanmai is a little more absurdist comedy but when my roommate showed me it i was like . jaw on floor but not in a good way. sorry #my art

Okay so, I went ahead and bought an iPad to try digital art for the first time, and my first attempt was shit. I went too far outside my comfort zone and fucked it up BUT!!! I am happy to report I've finished my first official piece! Not sure if any of you have seen those racing au wolfstar/jegulus TikTok’s, but I was inspired to give it a go and did Remus as a street racer (I was only thinking about Ronan lynch the entire time)

For the love of GOD do not look at his helmet or clothes

#help digital art is so hard #in watercolor you just make shit blurry and cover the details in abstract paint drops😭😭😭 #idk wtf I’m doing at alllll #anyways here’s my boy #! #Remus lupin the man that you are #I’m also in the midst of reading TCOPTP and it’s soooo fucking good!! why did no one tell me #it’s like that meme that’s like so was anyone going to tell me that TCOPTP is on par with atyd and one of the best long marauders fits ever #or was I just supposed to overcome my fear of the word count and figure it out myself #no but fr I’m enjoying it so fucking much it’s so good I want to kiss it #remus lupin #marauders #remus lupin fanart #wolfstar #marauders fanart #artfolio #my rat

#Oc art #Mewmew Agricola #Surreal art #Cat oc #Mecha oc #(kind of??????? Idk that's the point) #Pencil art #notebook drawing #Creature #Should we really start thinking more deeply about an alien mech creature who somehow turns into a normal looking cat #AND TWO DIFF VEHICLES #Ngl I want Mewmew to also turn into some more. Practical everyday vehicle #Uh anyway I had some thoughts about this #Mewmew being so abstract and being born out of simple joy for having something whimsical and nonsensical #Shockingly‼️(sarcasm) lends well to cosmic horror. Or body horror. Maybe. Idk. #But hey it's a silly kitty #I'm not trying to dig too deeply under mews skin bc I feel like. They were already trying that back in the alliance #Mew deserves to retain some mystique and will to just. Exist. But #But.....

How did you get into abstract art and what do you love most about it? :-) sorry if the smiley face seems ominous, the question read as "bot" and I was trying to add human flavor.

hi! omg literally do not worry you sound very human :-] i’m a big museum goer and i’ve never disliked abstract art or anything, but i think i really properly got into it when i was around 15 years old and taking an art history class at my school, and i mostly have the artist helen frankenthaler to thank for it! i remember my teacher lecturing about her works the bay & mountains and sea and just staring at them and thinking oh my goodness, this is something special. from there i began to explore color field painting and lyrical abstraction and found that i liked it very much, and then i branched out to learn more about other styles of abstract art and found lots to love there, too, and then i ended up studying art history in university and taking several classes on abstract art. i’ve honestly actually found a lot of artists i love via this website, too.

the other week i was lucky enough that an art museum i visited with my girlfriend had a color field painting exhibit going on, and it was so incredibly exciting for me. we marveled at the textures of some of the more paint drip-heavy pieces, stepped closer to huge canvases to admire the feathered edges of stains bleeding into each other, pointed out our favorite sections of paintings of diaphanous clouds of color, what they made us think about or feel reminded of. this all sounds very cheesy probably, but i think what i love most about abstract art, what i got to experience then, is how each individual person sees a particular piece as something else, something totally unique to them. it gives you so much space to dream! i love figurative art forever & i engage with it more regularly than i do with abstract art, but there is something so unique about the way abstract art challenges conventions, challenges any preconceived notions you might be coming in with, and unabashedly pries open your heart to fill it with unbridled emotion, coaxes you into making connections and observations that you must work to find. um. yeah. thanks for asking! 💝

#sorry. i ended up talking about lyrical abstraction more than anything else because i’ve been thinking about it a lot lately #i enjoy other styles of abstract art too though! promise. i’m a big fan of geometric abstraction especially #if u want a list of my favorites lmk whenever! mostly painters rather than sculptors though. #asks

[stinkrascal]

the worst take i have ever seen is when someone on here said that basically anything horror related is just goreporn and theres no reason for things like that to be in art and, worst of all, people are bad if they enjoy things like that. like idk how else to tell you this, but disregarding an entire genre of storytelling just bc you think its icky is the antithesis of art imo. im sorry not every story follows a disney formula so its easier for you to grasp the main point:( must be rough

#this is coming from someone who also does not like gorey stuff. im extremely squeamish so its hard to sit thru that stuff #i watched a review of martyrs (2008) and just the audio from that review made me faint lol #but that doesnt mean there isnt value in the horror genre just bc sometimes its gross and exploitative #there are some really meaningful ways you can abstract a character’s feelings thru grotesque images. some of the best horror does this #also there are definitely examples of horror movies which exist just to be gross and devoid of thought #but horror isnt the only genre that has bad creations behind it lol like have you seen a romcom ever? #those are rife with meaningless formulaic apathetic creations lol #i just think it is very weird to disregard a whole genre of art #and to further insinuate there’s something wrong w ppl who enjoy that art #seems like maybe you just don’t have a very good grasp on the art itself #idk how someone has this take and doesn’t realize they’re a few steps removed #from being the type of person who thinks playing first person shooter video games turns people into mass murderers lmao #like girl you are literally your grandmother

You don’t have to do Gal all the time. Sometimes we are depressed or too tired to do it and thats fine. Other times we may want to dabble into other aesthetics or other makeup looks and thats fine too. 🌺

#yesterday i was doing one of those squiggly makeup looks #like I enjoy makeup art a lot particularly abstract // avant garde stuff #so like i took pictures and i was like fuck #this doesn’t look gyaru at all but it didn’t have to #2000s fashion #gyaru #gaijin gyaru #gyarucore #gyarustyle #gyaru fashion #like yeah abstract makeup art can be done and gyarufied for lack of a better term #but I wasn’t gonna go out with that so I didn’t want to waste lash glue on that #idk would be fun to gyaru-ify it doe #i might do a mini low spoon gyaru guide maybe

[iwantyoursexmp3]

realistically in a couple months i will look at this little acrylic mountain painting and be like wow this kinda sucks ass but i had fun and i was me and i felt connected to my best friend from my novel who is always painting little acrylic mountain scenes......tbh never liked paints as a child/teen cause art class never taught us how to actually fucking use them LOL so im also like wow i actually blended stuff in and it looks good

#im realising now that the only paints they ever gave us in school were watercolours #but they never like...explained that specifically or said how to use them specifically GIRL #my like natural approach to painting was v much not suited for watercolour LOL but acrylics r fun #bobby is just such an acrylic guy to me idk how to explain it. i think he would dabble in oil too #dont think he likes watercolour LOL. except maybe watercolour pencils #i think hed have fun with pastels too....he was not meant to be this arty it just happened #the generalised lore is that bobby is good at drawing and painting most things except portraits and faces LOL #i will let him have one good self portrait though for the thematics of it #buried in tags but bobby's emotional reason for enjoying art is because he's always felt #like he had a very internalised experience of the world and was like. In His Head compared to people around him #so art + hands on creation feels like a way to take things out of his head and bring them into the world #bc he always felt a bit like an outcast even in the spaces he was included in lol closeted queer childhood vibes #he does like 99% scenic stuff though. but wondering if he gets more abstract at the end of his life WAITTTTT
