#i lost touch on coloring

[intotheelliwoods]

What was that about One falling asleep whenever he can and feels comfortable enough because the boy needs it? Hm? Something about him feeling safe around Poptart and not needing to keep his guard up was it? @dianagj-art *uses your own tags against you*

#wails #I needed something to doodle and this was what I needed haha #the besties #2 arms left #rottmnt #rise leo #also im just saying #look that that comfy side of poptart #boney arm free- #pillow shaped #its also interesting because like #when he first lost the arm he *really* didnt like people touching the stump area at all unless it was sprout #something something its just a really weird feeling and reminds him of what he just freshly lost #but with time he gets more comfortable with the feeling of it + other people touching it #which ofc allows one to sleep on it as much as he wants :] #also hello diana I stole your coloring style #yoink #dibs #mine now sorry #edit: LMAO WE BOTH PLANNED SLEEPY POSTS TODAY

days 5 and 6 of cringetober, MS Paint and neko!

in the true spirit of the event, i took the opportunity to draw an updated version of keitaro, the very first oc i ever got attached to, from the height of my cringe weeb tween years <3

some extra cringe factoids:

her name came from an old "what is your japanese name?" quiz

her backstory is that she was made in a lab (reminiscent of my creepypasta kid roots)

i actively described her as a tsundere

she used to be very stereotypically pale skinny anime waifu pretty, and also she was straight (none of those things are true anymore!!)

my original deviantart page (rip) was themed around her, and the username i had back then evolved into what has become my screen name today! so in a way this feels very full circle and i'm still quite fond of her <3

it's a big ol' world out there, especially when you come from the tipa peninsula

#even after everything is all over with i don't think evy ever settles into one place. i think she becomes a wanderer and roams the world #she's made too many friends across all the different towns and at that point the road is basically all she knows and she loves it #stays in touch with her family via the moogle post and visits regularly but otherwise she's out exploring #i would guess a few other retired caravanners do the same and they all greet each other on the roads with a shared understanding of why #anyways i've barely drawn at all in 2023 (like... i found about a dozen drawings in 7 months. that's it....) #so even tho i lost steam on the background and colors and the anatomy is a disaster i'm still pretty pleased with this lol #final fantasy crystal chronicles #ffcc #my art

that disney+ peter pan and wendy trailer looks monochromatic and boring as hell. i say this as both a hater and a peter pan connoisseur. lost girls exist (bad And wrong). costumes look just ok. where's the whimsy? why is every color in that trailer some uglyass shade of green and brown? mary blair did Not paint dozens of works of art for the 1953 production of peter pan just for its next gen disney reimagining to be this bland. and ugly. i simply must reiterate how Butt Ugly it looks.

#im not even gonna get into how there's lost girls and that goes against one of the biggest aspects of the story #also sorry that yara shahidi is getting hate for playing tinkerbell. she doesnt deserve that #unfortunately she's in a color by numbers green tinted cgi hellscape of a disney remake and i cant help her #the Only thing i'll give 'em is that the lost boy hideaway is cool looking. but 2003 did it better idc #i'm just. so annoyed about the lost girls (who are canonically too clever to fall out of their prams and get sent to neverland duh) #god i am such a hater but that trailer looked Ugly. just color scheme wise. it looks uglyyyy #idk if they were going for a touch of gritty realism and a more 'big kid' take on the story #but when you think 'neverland' i really doubt youre thinking greyish green and yellowish blue and dirt brown #who did the color correction? i just wanna talk #and if its a remake of their 50s cartoon version why abandon all the Color? #peter pan #peter pan and wendy #rambles #i was honestly going into that trailer with an open mind and i can forgive a lot. but i cant unsee an ugly color scheme

My PJO Story: 10+ Years in the Making

It's so crazy to think that we are less than 2 days away from the Percy Jackson premiere. I've been waiting for this series for 2 years from the second I heard about it. If I'm being honest, it was only some months ago that I actually finished the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series for the 1st time before moving on to HOO. Yet, even before then, I've been reading The Lightning Thief book over and over again since I was 11 or 12.

When I was younger, it was the movies (ugh, I know) that convinced me to read the Percy Jackson books. I had already seen them around school in the library and around my peers, but I personally felt no urge to pick the books up myself. I was DEEP in my Warrior Cats obsession at that point and believed no other book series could top it for me. But then we watched the Peter Johnson movies in class, and I'll be honest, I ended up really liking them. I know, I know. They are awful adaptations and still not the greatest stand-alone movies either, but I enjoyed them at that age since I hadn't read the books and knew Jack-shit about real Greek mythology at the time. And even now, while I'm no longer blind to how bad those movies are, there are still a few visuals from the 1st movie that still stand out in my mind to this day, like Percy's water trident.

But the greatest thing the movies did for me, and the reason I have to give them the obligatory 1 ⭐star, is that they finally convinced me to pick up The Lightning Thief and give this series, that was all the rage amongst my friends and peers, a chance. My mom got me the entire boxset for Christmas that year, and I got to reading. And I fell in love! I was blown away by the humor and fun I had reading The Lightning Thief. And it felt amazing to see a main character have a disability and use it as their superpower. I don't have ADHD or dyslexia, but I did have a stroke as a baby which affected me physically AND mentally, so in some ways, I could still relate to what Percy and other characters in the book were going through, at least a little bit.

Once I finished TLT, I was eager to start on The Sea of Monsters, and I even started reading into that book, too. But in a bizarre twist, the 2nd book disappeared one day from my nightstand. I looked EVERYWHERE for it, but I never found my copy of the 2nd book. I was so upset and embarrassed that I lost it, and I was worried to tell my parents for fear they'd think I was irresponsible for losing a book, so I just....didn't. And because I was convinced that I could still find my personal copy of the Sea of Monsters, I refused to check out a copy from my school library. And so because of my embarrassment and stubbornness, I would not continue the rest of the PJO series for years to come.

But that didn't stop me from rereading The Lighting Thief periodically throughout my teenage years going into adulthood. I read it for enjoyment, to refresh myself on the story and what happens in it, and especially when we'd go on vacation to the beach since, you know, it's the perfect summer beach read. This is just my opinion, but while TLT did set up groundwork for SOM, it could also be read as a stand-alone book, too. And for years, that's how I treated The Lighting Thief. I always planned on buying a new copy of The Sea of Monsters as well, but stuff would happen and I just wouldn't get it for one reason or another. And to be honest, I think part of it was a sentimentality thing with me. I was so sentimental about The Lightning Thief since it was the only book from PJO that I read fully, that part of me was worried about the other books overshadowing it.

So for years, that's how it went. Until, in late 2021, I found out that Percy Jackson was being made into a TV show. And my mind was blown; I DID NOT expect a book series that was close to 15 years old and after 2 failed movies to get a TV show made after it. In fact, I thought it was a joke at first or that there were people trolling the series on the internet. But then when I looked more into it, and especially when I saw that the author, Rick Riordan himself, was heavily involved in the project, the reality of this news finally started to sink in.

And I was ecstatic!

But it also gave me the reminder that I had yet to read the rest of the series past The Lightning Thief, and I wanted to go into the TV show having read the books beforehand. And so, after literal years of not telling them, and because it was right around Christmas and my mom was practically begging me to tell her what I wanted that year (I usually don't want much for Christmas), I told her I wanted Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters for Christmas that year.

And I finally got it.

But because life happens, I wasn't able to actually start my planned binge reading of the Percy Jackson series until this past spring going into summer of this year, 2023. But once I had a free couple days to spare, I finally sat down and read the entire Percy Jackson and the Olympians series for the 1st time, starting with exactly the same old copy of The Lightning Thief I've had and loved since the age of 11 or 12.

And it was AMAZING!

This series truly is something else, and it's no wonder its maintained its popularity throughout the years. Its funny, sweet, action-packed, crazy, and just all around fun to read with lovable characters. It's one of my absolute favorite book series of all time and I'm so excited about the show dropping in less than 2 days now.

But it's the fact that we will be seeing the 1st book specifically, The Lighting Thief, come to life lovingly and faithfully first, that has me the most excited. For so long, this was the 1 book in the series that I read. It was the 1 book in the series that always stayed with me when I couldn't continue reading past it. It was the book that introduced me, and many others, to all these amazing characters and the world of Gods and Goddesses.

So while it is true that the later books in PJO are objectively better, it will always be The Lighting Thief specifically that will always have a special place in my heart. And I am thrilled that this first book of Percy Jackson (and hopefully the later books) is FINALLY getting the adaptation it deserves, and that I'll get to revisit the 1 book that has been with me since childhood in a new light!

Long Live Percy Jackson!

(Also yes, I made that bookmark)

#now on to rereading TLT tonight and tomorrow so the plot is fresh in my mind once again!!!! #this book means so much to me #the whole means so much to me but especially this 1st book #also can you tell that this copy of TLT is old? #I wasn't kidding when I said I still have the same old copy of TLT I got when I was 11/12 #I've given it lots of love. but I think its still in good condition all things considered #the other books from the same set as this TLT copy are not nearly this worn down. #that's what happens when you don't read or even touch the other books for over a decade bc you lost the 2nd book #they're be worn down in time now that I've got the SOM don't worry #I actually also have hardcover versions of the PJO series coming in a few days for when my paperback set gets too old and worn down #and they have the OG 1st edition covers too since I love those covers #reminds me of old style fantasy book covers that had that grainy but mysterious water color painting-escue look to them #but I still love the book covers for my current bookset. i love that they all match #my PJO origin story #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson #percy jackson books #percy jackson tv show #The Lighting Thief #percy jackson book 1 #percy jackson series #rick riordan

I didn't rly wanna post this to my art blog since its just. a compilation of older art and comparisons (done pretty quickly on paint jasdhkfj) but! been thinking abt how far my ocs designs have come and wanted to see them all lined up.

ive been considering upgraded forms or ones that might fit tmm new better, even tho I really dont have plans to add any story/plot details from tmmn to the tm2 story since its based so heavily on the first anime TwT (unless something super different happens in tmmn s2 that is waaay different and I like more...? idk)

originally mira had two school friends, one who bears STRIKING resemblance to cara (with the blonde blunt haircut, but one side dyed..orange?) but she got scrapped and yue-bing added later to fill that role. several characters personalities (esp miras) have done a 180, too!! very funny how much changes ...I wonder how these characters will change in the future? :-)

#these are their 'main magical girl fits' kind...of... #not touching on the wardobes i made for them or like. um. the fact i dont think queen would wear the same dress twice ngl #anyway its insane i didnt design queen until 2016 at least not digitally #a lot of the og notebook doodles have been lost :( but...i actually think those mightve been the first drawings of HER at least #shes! one of the big main antagonists! what do u mean u didnt make her until 2 years after making the protags*! ???? #my art #sanchoyorambles #tmm #tm2 #tokyo miracle #i am not tagging all the ocs god bless tho #ohh design changes. the funniest one to me is aquas vest thing #i didnt rly like drawing it but SEVERAL of my friends were like NOO HER VEST!!! LMAO I DIDNT KNO PPL LIKED IT SO MUCH #i personally like her w/out it!! but!! there were mourners #also cara completely changing colors!! #she was always starfruit which is YELLOWISHGREEN WHY DID I DESIGN HER COSTUME SOO RED #i know why actually it was bsed on the colors of her ANIMAL not her fruit. dumb choice tho #bc ...if that was the case she shouldve been a redhead in mew form! #for cohesiveness!!! #ive learned a lot abt character design.

A half-assed whiteboard imitation of Evelyn de Morgan’s The Love Potion (1903), done in a few minutes in Expo marker on 12/05/2022

#i have to say. of my expo drawings of paintings. this is my least favorite #it was the most challenging especially trying to work w multiple colors. and nobody had an ORANGE. #i also lost track of details that i got off or wonky in my original sketchbook imitation that i copied from. like her left arm is #completely wrong. but that's ok. #if she gets erased i won't cry about it #2022 #drawing #visual art #evelyn de morgan #my drawing #whiteboard #i drew the cat on the left too bc i didn't leave enough space at her feet #there was a new guy in the math center that i hadn't met before and when i finished he asked 'wait did you just #whip up a classic in like a couple minutes?' and the guys he was w were like 'yeah she does that' #im really not satisfied w this one tho. i didnt give myself enough time on the original sketch either bc i had somewhere to go #and i did the whiteboard drawing when i came back. and when i was doing the finishing touches i kinda didnt bother to refine it #like her left arm is wrong in reference to the original painting but i f #you don't know what i'm copying you won't know. but the left elbow? atrocious. and i didn't even bother to fix it. #also the hands like i didnt even try lol #also. merry christmas to everyone reading these tags who celebrates. #:^)

To this day I think one of the best friendships I ever had was my color guard friend. We got super super close cause we were both in love with our best friends and refused to tell them. They were one of the only people who would listen to me go on and on and on and talk to me about what was going on without losing interest partway through cause they’d heard it a thousand times. Bestie would let me talk their ear off all the time. And we’d turn right around and I’d do the same for them

#i miss bestie so so so much #nothing happened between us we just lost touch after I graduated #neither of us are good at responding to one another over text anymore #we talked the other day #it’s like no time has ever passed between us when we do talk #I’m actively fighting texting one of my friends bc I know a life update is gonna turn into me venting and I don’t want that #but man. i miss my color guard friend. we’d send each other mile long paragraphs back and forth all day and night long #it was never too much. it was never just waiting for the other person to finish so we could talk about something else #it wasn’t multitasking and being like oh sorry what I wasn’t listening #if ever it was hey I gotta do a thing for a little I’ll reply later. and then we would in depth reply #i loved my little therapy sessions with them #they were a Lot more successful at love than me. i learned a lot with that friendship #if I could have one person teleport to college with me they would so easily be in the top two #bestie for life right there. I’ll be thinking of them a lot in color guard this fall #i wonder how much they work this summer. I’d love to see them #i wanna know every single detail of what’s up with them and what’s new #soup talks
