#i much prefer the living art

[louderfade]

jason gave me his login info for the criterion collection's streaming service and so far i have used it to watch steve mcqueen's hunger (2008) four times and not a single thing else

#i hate movies #except for when i love them #who wants my short list of films i do not hate #also i won't watch trailers for any reason #they are just advertisements and they always reveal way too much #i'm big on going in cold #when people find out i don't like movies they go 'but you love theatre' and i'm like 'yes precisely' #i much prefer the living art #as it knows how to breathe #personal

challenging myself by engaging in the ancient art known as "dynamic poses", but making it harder on myself by ignoring the noble practice of "using references"

featuring belvedere and florawell

#my art #oc #florawell #belvedere #goblin #dragon #i prefer the wips i posted to my sketch blog tbh they look better than the finished thing. but nevertheless. #i also accidentally gave belvedere furry hands this time instead of his usual bald goblin hands #i think it makes him look sleeker but i prefer his ratty hands. we live and learn #fun fact i have around 20 ongoing projects which i have been workin on simultaneously which has resulted in me not getting much done #but now they're all nearing completion at once so you'll see a bunch of art from me soon maybe #when i open comms (VERY SOON.....big things coming....) i'm considering tacking on an extra option for sketches like these #cause i can do them for relatively cheap without spending hours working for peanuts #anyway. i'm seeing a horror movie yet again tonight. immaculate was surprisingly good so let's see if this one is good

What led to this (orufrey comic, cw an uncomfortable/creepy scene)

#witch hat tag #orufrey #er.... i'm too tired to have anything to say..i worked several days on this. #wait.. didn't i say just recently here that i probably wouldn't ever depict 'what if alaira is qifrey's sort-of ex'. What's going on #i don't even remember deciding to draw this..it's all a blur..i'm not sure why i WOULD decide to draw delicate scenes in my head #that i wouldn't really want to share with anyone/discuss so why did i draw it... #some part of me really really wants to draw things that are more and more true to myself... #maybe because of my alienation with most romance/shipping/dynamics the rest of the world depicts. #orufrey really is perfectly suited to me - what i read in the text and what is in my head. well anyway #i am TIRED of drawing poses and angles and..maybe now i will actually take a break from drawing bc of the tediousness of Angles #btw it really is a 'stretch of time' . . . assuming witches graduate age 18-20 #well orufrey are canonically 30-ish. they've only had agott around for presumably about TWO years (?) bc she took the test age 10 #and it feels like oru moving in/unknown atelier acquisition/building (?) .. i guess that could be a year or so before agott at most #(she was the first disciple) so... ????????? What about the other 7 or so years ?!?!?!!?!?! Unemployed Brimhat Hatred era #that time is very nebulous. after qifrey went to the tower i feel like it's been implied he and oru drifted apart a little. #certainly they didn't live together at first... no way. that doesn't feel like how it is based on things oru has said about becoming Eye #idk. I'm tired now. i don't usually think of alaira as necessarily qifrey's ex and this being how things went in that 'sliver of time'. #i usually prefer the idea that they have their first kiss with each other in their 30s cause That's Just The Orufrey Lifestyle #just felt like making a more relatable alternative view of my own Cai Orufrey Canon one time. btw im a big monoshipper and it hurt a bit #let's leave it there. this is surely the most i've worked on a 'single' art - though now i realise just how much longer the fic took :')

I technically dont care of the new game but I NEED TO KNOW THAT HES NOT DEAD!

#the fact that the new game takes place in arkhamverse scares me #game I’m talking about:suicide squad kill the justice league #spoilers #right now #don’t continue reading if you don’t want to know #ok. #the fact that Arkhamverse tim is already dead and the possibilities of the other bats being dead #makes me really nervous since dick Barbara and Jason gets named dropped and it’s such an oh no #honestly I prefer them fighting for their lives than outright dying like Tim did #poor Tim gets the short end of the stick. #anyway kiteou is at it again with ship art #crack ship art but alas my mind will never let go of them.and honestly if Arkham jason was with sabo they’ll both stick together trying to #survive as much as they can #and poor Arkham Jason already endured enough at this point let him be happy #jason todd x sabo #sabo #jason todd #op #dc #one piece #crossover ship #crack ship #fanart #artwork #art #sason #papalote dice cosa

hey, I've been seeing your yuri au around recently, and I just want to say that in addition to your really nice art style, you're the only person I've seen draw fem!Kel and not:

-anime-girl-fiy Kel

-remove Kel's body hair

and I thank you for it. I have seen too many fem!Kels that are just the default anime girl body type with Kel's hair, clothes and skin tone, so seeing your take on fem!Kel is a nice breath of fresh air

THATT IS SO SWEET thankyou so much for your kind words !! 🥺 have aged up kel <3

#i too am sooo SO sick of people anime girlifying kel. even tho omocat herself did that too #look ppl can enjoy omocats genderbend designs for them. Whatever. personally i have Gripes and WILL redesign them to my liking #also her body hair is Important ok she needs it to live its her lifeline #and her freckles but thats personal preference 🫶 #maybe ill show my take on male aubrey someday #not now tho bc im heavily procrastinating on my finals aaaa #anyway thank you so much for stopping by and leaving this very nice thought 🥺 i hope u have a wonderful day <3 #omori kel #kel omori #yuri au #genderbend #omori #fanart #my art #asks #fem!kel my love shes like a daughter to me 🫶

in my cowboy au, two things remain the same. sanji is still a bayou boy, and usopp is still the best damn shot out there

#please excuse the dogshit quality these kinds of comics are rlly small and i dont want to make them bigger and more detailed #sanji is afraid of horses but he will never ever admit it #he much prefers alligators to horses. he understands gators #me and 8ball and diell losing our minds over cajun sanji every day of our lives #usopp usually uses a ye olde sniper rifle but its kind of hard to do that on horseback with another rider #USOPP HAS A XHOSA ACCENT BYW #IT IS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT YOU ALL KNOW THAY #uhh i dont think any of u guyse follow me for riding advice but if u do. maybe dont put 2 adult men on 1 horses back #Merry is usopps horse she is a belgian draft xoxo #shes strongk but not enough for 2 peoble #anyway #my art #art #fanart #western au #cowboy au #usopp #sanji #\\tw guns #one piece #op

A Determined Red Geranium Yeehawgust Day 15 (late) - Desert Rose [IMG ID A mixed media painting, mostly watercolor-ink, of a red geranium plant growing out of a patch of dry desert soil next to some broken bits of a former beer bottle. In the background is a rusted metal wall. / END IMG ID.] I honestly do not know if a geranium would be able to survive a very dry environment with poor soil and no care, but maybe some of the seeds for the things on Project SEEDS were genetically-enhanced. I like to think that some of Rem's seeds and cuttings might have survived the Big Fall and just sprout up in random places.

#trigun #trigun maximum #trigun stampede #red geranium #geranium #flower #flora #yeehawgust #yeehawgust 2023 #seriously what else would I have drawn for this prompt for doing Trigun art? #after you watch or read this series red geraniums live in your head rent free #even if you never thought of them much before #and preferred wild golden poppies and sunflowers #I used tea for the desert sand and soil #just a straight up old tea bag in water

- Secret of the Hattifatteners, Tales From Moominvalley.

I really really really need you all to know how much of a wife guy Moominpappa is actually, like even if they're not super outwardly affectionate in the books, Moominmamma trusts Moominpappa very deeply and Moominpappa's definition of "home" always links back to Moominmamma. He is the waves and she is the shore.

(excerpts of Moominpappa thinking about Moominmamma and only Moominmamma whenever he gets reminded of home v)

He went back to the boat, shaking his paws like a cat. Some of the spiders had crawled on to him, and he thought it very unpleasant.

They soon found the painter also and started to crawl along it in a thin red procession, and from there further along the gunwale.

Moominpappa seated himself as far astern as possible.

This is something one dreams, he thought. And then one awakens with a jerk to tell Moominmamma: ‘You can’t imagine how horrible, dearest, such a lot of spiders, you never…’

And she awakens too and replies: ‘Oh, poor Pappa – that was a dream, there aren’t any spiders here…’

(...)

It was a small scroll of birch-bark, of the sort the sea likes to curl up and throw ashore. Nothing else. You can unroll them like documents: inside they’re white and silk-smooth, and as soon as they’re released they curl shut again. Exactly like a small fist clasped about a secret. Moominmamma used to keep one around the handle of her tea-kettle.

(...)

Moominpappa had laid himself on his back and was staring up at the pale green leaves around him. Light, delicate leaves against a dark sky. In his easy-chair at home he had a cushion embroidered with fern leaves by Moominmamma. Pale green leaves against black felt. It was very beautiful.

#moomins #moominvalley #art #moominpappa #moominmamma #moominparents #comic #secret of the Hattifatteners #tales from moominvalley #hattifatteners #the comic was initially made in retaliation to a certain post about the origin of MP's hat (it was a shippy thing) and I went bonkers /neg #but now it's simply my appreciation for Secret of the Hattifatteners for providing us such insight into Moominpappa as a character tbh #like it's just so interesting to think about. him and the Hattifatteners. his realization of their secret. how that applies to other chars #esp Snufkin bc hatfats are just emotionless and aimless travelers living to seek the thrill of thunderstorms. the only time they're alive #Moominpappa thinks it a very depressing existance of which a boring domestic life is much preferable #but would Snufkin think the same? idk

So I heard that Tumblr is slowly being abandoned (they seem to be laying off a majority of their staff and keeping a skeleton crew) and we might be nearing the end of this webbed site. I don't think it's currently worth panicking over, but I'm definitely going to start making that neocities website.

I'll make a post soon about other places where you can find me. Unfortunately, I've spent quite some time these last couple years getting rid of a majority of my social media because most platforms were bad for my mental health. I do not plan on going back to these platforms, so if tumblr goes down, I'm going to be only on non social media.

Maybe if one of the new social medias being created, actually take off (like bluesky or pillowfort or whatever else these days) I might join, but if not I might be entirely on personal websites, patreon (I will start posting regularly like a blog and make more free posts), some old websites I deleted but not because I hated them (such as ko-fi, which I deleted due to inactivity) and possibly furaffinity. I'm still on the fence about furaffinity. I might also finally start using my toyhouse but that is an oc sharing website and not much of an art sharing website.

I really do hope Tumblr doesn't go down, this is my one social media and if it does go down I am going to lose nearly all of my audience. I can make do by creating a personal blog and using whatever I have left in terms of "can post my art there and people can find me", and it won't discourage me from making my personal projects. I can make do, and I will make do, but I don't really want to make do.

Anyways, that's all I have to say right now, I'll make a post later once I set up some alternative sites to find me at, but for now I want to give the heads up that if I'm gone, you're not gonna find me on twitter, Instagram, or whatever third option there is. I'm likely going to just make do, be offline more, and likely just become active on the discord servers I'm on.

#simon says #long post #i think #it looks long on mobile #anyways there it is #I'm gonna have to start learning html #im also really sad that i hate making videos so much because I probably would just go on youtube #but I know from experience that I am not becoming a youtuber entirely because I fucking hate making videos that much #i get tempted quite often to become a nice little art youtuber or go into a niche art video subcategory #personally fight against the things I hate about youtube by not doing those things #but I just hate video making too much to do that #i do NOT like my voice enough to edit it #i might consider live streaming again since I used to live stream but also hnng nah im not sure #I prefer live streaming to video making because I hate making scripted videos and I love the live aspect of streaming #but also do I really WANT to stream again or do I just want an audience from a platform where it's very easy to build an audience? #that one is gonna be up in the air for a while tbh #streaming is currently in 'im not sure how i feel about it' limbo and it may never leave #if I do decide to start live streaming again you will hear about it on my sick ass personal blog I have to code #because I'll probably unravel those mixed feeling and come to a decision likely long after tumblr disappears lmaoooo #edit: #also I would rather eat my arm off than ever go back to tiktok so rule that one out forever

more phoenix wright situations

#ace attorney tag #maybe i should tag this narumitsu or something. but i dont really care. #gearing up to rereading/illustrating bits of my fic i suppose...i think nick really is too dense to realise he's in love with edgeworth #without some scheming fop trying to intrude. i love villains like kristoph..villains can be fun..witnessing their pathetic folly.. #or more like edgeworth would never have mentioned his feelings ever in his life if he wasn't sure phoenix reciprocates. #i want to see it this way because Falling in love during childhood with the person you're going to end up with. is not relatable #there have to be Situations that make you Realise. #as with orufrey i adore the idea of people not working out their romance with that person until their 30s+ #but... i mean. even with orufrey i often think how alaira could be qifrey's ex. and oru having been pursued by noble fops through his work #there is that delicate sliver of time before orufrey start living together that such believable situations could have happened. #Then the relief of politely and amicably extricating themselves from those untenable situations #the idea of falling in love age 7 and saving your first kiss for age 35 or something is all very well but more relatable is #people realising how they really feel whilst trying something that ends up feeling wrong. #The comfort and joy of living with your dearest one as if it's platonic - much preferable to trying anything more with anyone else. #But i doubt i will ever portray that or mention it further. it is indeed very delicate to me. #and i really am an OTP FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kind of person who can barely bear to consider this anyway...NOT a polyshipper i'm afraid ! #so i wouldn't mind either if they do have their first kiss in their lives age 35 with each other either. I would not mind that at all. #i love bi/gay couples apparently... bi father figures & their grumpy gay men waiting for them to work it all out... #not used to using colour in comic-style drawings..or at all..so this is messy and awkward looking..but colour is refreshing #i imagine i will go back to witch hat art soon btw. my destiny in life. #i still remember writing my nrmt fic expecting to write their first kiss & then partway through twas like Umm No. They have kissed prior. #does that really line up with this comic though... i think i had their early dinner dates/first kiss BEFORE disbarment. #so i guess this comic doesn't line up with my ficverse.... No..... U___U Oh well. sorry kris! <3

pros of having a tailor character: ough the potential for so many interesting and fancy outfits cons of having a tailor character: h. how do i. how do i figure out a "basic" outfit here

#harper wears very minimal variations on a theme usually. caoimhe lives in cycling outfits of any sort pretty much #hell even just slap some random layers on phileas and you're set #but irving??? irving babygirl why must you be fashionable it makes things so much harder adfsfdghgfjg #i'm trying to work on a ref and on one hand i could just stick him in a simple but nice dress but that's boring and not very in character #on another hand i could draw his work outfit (shirtwaist and skirt. possibly a vest) but that is a uniform not his preferred style #and then third separate hand (shapeling arts) i could draw something fancy which would be nice but not as a ref i think rip #i want to draw fancy but logically i should go for the simple but nice option augh :-( #the scientist scribbles

spills a bunch of ns on the floor

#pokemon #pokemon bw #pokemon black and white #n harmonia #pokemon n #clai's art #did you know. that i like n. a lot. verrrry much #personal thing: i dont get why reshiram fits n at all? #everyone seems to have a preference about which dragon n should have but i dont get reshiram #n had such drastic motives because he was Lied to his whole life. ghetsis only showed n pokemon that were harmed by humans on purpose #so that n was blind to the fact that the majority of pokemon are fine with humans and like living with them #so while n had the best intentions and honestly believed pokemon were only going to be hurt by humans. and some Are #it wasnt the whole truth. the world n wanted ignored the Real truth that pokemon and humans can coexist with no problems if they try #so zekrom fits him better because it was n's Ideal world not a world built on Truth #protag with reshiram consequently makes more sense because protag shows n the truth. that pokemon can be happy with humans #maybe it is because i played black/black 2 so i'm used to zekrom with n and reshiram with me. but i genuinely dont get it #anyway thats my rambling about which twin dragon n should have #if someone Could explain why reshiram fits n i'd like to hear i'm genuinely curious about other people's reasoning!! #anyway. n my beloved. my first favorite since i played bw for the first time 12 years ago until emmet and ingo knocked him to third lmao

As someone who hates the sisyphean task of cleaning, how dare my mental health prefer a clean room.

#like come on brain - you could have made this one easier on the rest of me but ( as usual) NO You didn't #did i think about this as i sit in my tidy bedroom where everything just looks a lot cheerier and cozy and happy now that it's clean? yes #did it literally take me DAYS to get it this clean - and by this clean i still have laundry and stuff to do - so it's not perfect #but it looks like it p much is #and while my skin has not been cleared no my depression cured - it certainly is a boost to feel like this is a refuge #i actually want to spend time in her and feel like it's a nice room to be in - awaaaaaaaay from the other people i live with #and lbr - i need a plce to get awaaaaaaaay from them (and ok fine vice versa most likely) #but still - it would be a lot simpler if my brain liked a messy room more- my lazy parts would prefer that- but no #depression brain says -BITCH CLEAN UP - you will be happier and capable of doing some of the things if it's clean #also - you will feel LESS OF THE BAD HORRORS if it is clean #so UGH - FINE i will have to work to keep it clean - I GUESS. #i should reread camus's myth of sisyphus because iirc he didn't talk about dishes or laundry or room cleaning in that #he probably talked about death - been too many years since i read it - i don't remember - probs death and suicide #but not cleaning - he should have talked about cleaning. or wanting to die when you realized living means more cleaning #that would have been way relatable - but anyway - here we are- i'm not dead - and not planning on being so any time soon hopefully #partly because there is shit i still wanna do - but also partly because this room looks p decent and i'm not gonna make it messy #especially not by dying in here when it takes forever to get it clean #moral of the story: cleaning makes you feel like you wanna die but when it's done for the moment you'll be like i'll do that another day #because now the room is clean and dying in there would be a waste of the efforts of cleaning. just appreciate the space - vibe w/ it #and then you realize - ok life is maybe okay - and there's art and books and flowers and sex and chocolate and cute animals #so even if there are sisyphean tasks - and there are many - well do em anyway - brain will like it and then get back to the good stuff #thus endeth the tag saga after a short text post #welcome to how shit is around here sometimes

here's the character I've been using for a dimension-hopping campaign, Ilamine! she is a street musician who hails from an industrial Victorian underground cave city, and she will find a reason to dislike you.

#date: 2022 February 19 #she is an emotional brick wall and she much prefers to avoid her problems rather than face them head-on #she unfairly takes out her frustration at herself on the other characters. apologies are foreign to her tongue #basically if you stay in your lane she'll stay in hers and won't give you the time of day for better or for worse #but if there's an issue? this mf can hold a grudge #she finds peace in filling her little diary and playing her silly little buccin (archaic and mostly decorative form of trombone lol) #her way of life was shattered by the loss of someone dear to her and she hasn't allowed herself to grieve #she hasn't felt like she had a purpose in life for a very long time. however she is too stubborn to abandon her old habits. so she lives on #hi Ilamine I want to send you to therapy #digital art #paint tool sai #dnd #dungeons and dragons #dnd character #character design #ilamine #genasi #earth genasi #bard #barbarian #behemoth tags sorry #somewhere between #ocs
