He is so ✨️Shiny✨️ 🥺🖤

I definitely have to experiment with the cutting settings (they look kinda fuzzy atm), but I am fine with how they turned out. 😭❤️

Might change his expression bc I hate it, it looks so stiff 😩

Drawing, drawing, drawing

I suck at drawing comics but it's always so rewarding in the end. This is something for my au blog, maybe it'll be ready tomorrow:>

#I think I need to fix frisk's head #wip #undertale #papyrus #sans #every day I strike to draw comics faster and to improve my paneling #my undertale phases always make my ary improve a lot and also no because I keep drawing skeletons and various other monsters #so #I forget how to draw humans

Redraw of a skitter design I did a little over a year ago, comparison under the read more

And the sketch. As a little treat. Just for you.

#taylor Herbert #parahumans #parahumans worm #worm #my art #I’m sorry it’s so dark her hair being black and her suit also being black is so irritating to me #eyes changed to red to mimic a fly. face mask had a minor change to mimic the head of an ant better #antennae got a little extra prong to mimic ant pincers and also bc hollow knight fan #boots got a steel toe for maximum violence potential #suit padding was actually referenced off of motorcycle armor instead of just winging it #no skirt or belt because I don’t think the former looked good and I didn’t want to draw the latter #even if it’s not canonically accurate she needs some form of armor. Taylor your vital organs. they’re in danger. #iirc she DID put knee pads and stuff on when she first started out. and yet she refuses to wear a helmet. inevitable TBI moment. #in terms of general art stuff the posing looks so much better. look who learned about contrapposto. #and improved (a little) at anatomy. not really on costume design but we’re taking baby steps. #I’d like to thank the wormblr fans for recirculating the og post every three months or so for getting me out of my art block #nothing will make you draw faster than seeing your old art go around. #i promise I’ll finish worm one day 🫡 #end of patch notes/ted talk/etc

hi!!! it's cool to see you now have your own comms channel!!!! how are you doing?

Decently well, actually. I saw a kelpie today.

This was notable because they don't normally get as close as this one did. They're normally very shy outside of spawning season.

#rain world #fam likes when animals :) #especially when they dont try to bite him #me: i need to get faster at answering asks #also me: does this #whatevenever. i was thinking about the ecosystem and needed to draw it #the only way to improve at backgrounds is to actually draw them. or so i've heard #i could keep going at this forever but i want to move on!!!!

My headcanons for the named trio in The Cursing of Chateau Castle series:

Josephandre is a big bear. It just fits for him I think! He gets he/him pronouns, and as a way to make him a liiiil more relatable for Mira, he'd have two craft types (Rock type being his main one and paper craft for the other). Battle style wise, I think it fits him to be more of a self-sustaining tank. He buffs defense, heals, and puts up shields. For his weapon, he'd use his fists like Isabeau. He'll be the second fastest in the trio.

Lady Irene-Janine-Kanine looks like an elegant noblewoman on the outside but she has vibes similar to Euphrasie! She gets she/her pronouns. Her craft type is Paper. Battle style wise, she's more on the offensive side, a main dps kind of thing. Most of her skills focus on buffing attack and speed, she'd have an item that helps regen her hp a lil bit and her chosen weapon is an umbrella. The tip is a sharp blade so it's used like a spear that has a hidden sword in its handle. Open it, and it becomes a shield! That'd be one of her skills too, although it's only applicable to her. She's the fastest one of the trio.

Pierre-Jacques-Erneste looks like a nobleman and carries himself as such! He gets he/they pronouns. Their craft type is Scissors. Battle style wise, he's more of a debuffer, skills focusing on weakening the enemies, slowing them down, poisoning them. Their weapon is a sword dagger, though he doesn't seem to be able to handle it well, how clumsy! But he Is a nobleman so it makes sense! Oh but... why doesn't he have a title? They're the slowest one of the trio, how strange, he seemed to be faster than Lady Irene-Janine-Karine that one time though.

#aria rants #how do i even tag these things bro im like-- why am i such a fan of a fragmented series in isat #okay so-- josephandre relied mostly on raw strength when he was travelling all alone before meeting the others #and i think he'd have a fun uncle vibe to him. which makes it easy for others to approach him and befriend him #but he Also carries a sort of pride and dignity to him which makes the others mistake him for a nobleman cuz of it #esp considering the fact that he later became famous for helping those in need and such. #lady irene on the other hand. being a noble she's always had to keep her guard up. also doesnt help that noblewomen #got the short end of the stick what with the ''arrange marriage'' things and being below noblemen #her umbrella weapon helps a lot in warding off the assholes. i think that during the journey with josephandre's party #she got to finally be herself without needing to sugarcoat her words in a way that a noble should. she would also figure out a #way to improve on her shield spell to not only apply to just her but her entire party too. she cares a lot about them after all #meanwhile i got a Whole scenario for pierre (being an illegitimate child of a noble family and all that. i made a post bout it) #he's actually a lot more capable than what he makes himself appear as. but its like part of the plan on getting the others #to lower their guards around him for when pierre betrays them. in actuality pierre is actually faster than irene altho #not much stronger still (irene and josephandre are still stronger than him) considering that pierre mainly focused on #stealth type attacks. hes more used to using a sword than a dagger (he mightve wanted to prove their worth) #it makes their battle style and weapon clash due to the fact that swords arent that good for stealth much than a dagger #its one of the reasons why hes trying to get used to the dagger than the sword. but it is a bit difficult to learn a new weapon

little peek at somethjing i am cooking up ...

#this is rlly rough but rn im just blocking everything out #i have like 6.5 pages sketched so far this is already going faster than last time i think..^_^ #im having a blast also #im tryna rewire my brain . every time i think Blehhh i hate drawing i just want to see it done i gotta stop n correct myself #like Hey wait you actually love drawing why are you telling yourself this The process is frustrating sometimes but that comes with art #i had to redraw this one page like 4 separate times and i still didn't feel like giving up #like yeah i was feeling pressed but at the same time i was being patient with myself #like this is part of improving Stop laying on the floor and wondering why you're even doin this you've always loved it #only drawing when u know it's gonna turn out good defeats the whole purpose of learning #also i added cal last minute to this comic and im gladi did he's so creeepy #im very excited to get this done Not impatient like i was before #im impatient for people to see it yeah lol but not w myself #and im not gonna be all like “yeah we'll see how long this lasts lol” bc i think that's already setting myself up for burning out #i have hope that i can keep enjoying art like this I just need to change the way i think #and accept the messy n ugly. the perfect is the enemy of the good #aaron blaise really inspires me. he sincerely loves what he does and i want to be like that #this is also gonna be more comic-like Panelwise i think #scott pilgrim n my bro inspired me #also the way cal's face cuts off on the right makes sense in context he's peekin from behind a chair

me and the work girlies having socialist convos at the end of the day

#funny as hell like. we finished our workload about half an hour early #because they've hired so many of us temps. who are improving at the job each day #that there's just been less to spread around #yet bc work culture is dumb our manager suddenly told everyone to push the carts we'd already sorted #into a square in the middle of the floor? which we've never done before #and the permanent staff had no idea why either. they were also confused but resigned #I passed one and said ''hey so is this just because we have 20 minutes of the shift left'' #and she just laughed and shrugged and was like idk ask him lmaooo #definition of busywork #so we're all just standing around for 10 minutes until the manager starts calling people over to move... other stuff idk. #and I'm walking to join them when this small group of coworkers behind me goes HEY #you don't need to go. look he's got enough people and he's not looking stay heeere #so we just end up swapping stories about the managers giving us tips to process the conveyer faster #even tho we uhhh work SO hard already. :) #and one woman went ''I was thinking. ummm. I could go faster. but you gonna pay me more??? so I worked slower ❤️'' #nothing but respect for us grunts here tho vs the management. I've never known a single person in the 3 weeks I've been here #to not come and help someone who looks busy on the opposite conveyer when theirs is slow #turns out people are naturally nice and helpful when you don't take advantage and try and make them work harder #bosses will never learn this <3

[retconomics]

fitness websites are of the devil i think.

#trying to look up how to improve long distance running times and its like #'oh yeah a beginner runner that can sustain a 10 min mile pace for 3+ miles' like in what world is THAT a beginner #like i dont need to know how to run a 5k in 25 minutes i need to know how to run one in 35. 40 even. #and its always the same no matter the sport or activity.. the disconnect between what a site assumes is beginner and the true beginner is.. #so stark #... dont even get me started on how half the advice is unachievable if you dont want to dedicate every moment of free time to the activity #like girl i want to eat dessert and play video games i dont want to give up all my other hobbies just to run a bit faster #'a good 10k time is under an hour!!' how about a good time is whatever time you get when u finish. stfu

[autistic-shaiapouf]

Okay okay so. Thinking.

I've mapped out how I want to pay off my credit cards, which means I'll only be getting new stuff pretty sporadically, which means I need to appreciate the zero cost things in my life, like:

- the 2.5 foot tall stack of unread books I have

- the violin I might finally actually pick up again

- the 500+ drawing prompts I've been hoarding

- the list of anime I still need to watch

- the 3000+ songs in my watch later playlist

- the stickers I've been neglecting to cut

- yarn??? I have a lot of yarn

- all the pink fabric leftover from moth cosplay

- the candles and incense I also already have

In short, time to actually use the stuff that I have 😭

#though. i do want one more candle. they're putting minty smells in the winter ones and it smells cold #i need a cold smelling candle that is warm and on fire i just need that very strange contrast #but yeah!! will spend a little testing out acrylic charms but for the most part #we're gonna hang out at home for a while and express gratitude or whatever lmao #okay but i think it will actually be nice to start getting through all those books skjfkdkd #and to watch the bigger name anime to actually see them lmao; saw a lot at the con i recognized but hadn't actually watched #and also my music!! all my music bc i am clinically insane about music; miku playlist advancement... #this isn't even touching on the games i have now ksjfkf if either of you are reading this 👀 i still wanna get yall something #and I'm planning the exact day i wanna do it 😤 #but yeah I'm thinking it over and am like. oh boy time for self improvement skjdkfkf #also finances will get easier bc im not ubering all over and I'm not seeing docs for my stomach now that the ulcer has been resolved #i made back half of what i spent getting the car in only 4 months and that feels good to see #it's still gonna be some hard work but we're gonna make it; I'm also highballing one of the cards #the hotel put a damages hold on my card and my math factors that in; they said that money would go back to me in 5 or so #business days so that'll be a little less to be concerned with; I'll still try to pay what numbers i found though #do it faster and do it better and idk what the fuck I'll do with the cards bc. 30% apr........... #idk i could get groceries with them and then pay them off? take that credit score you'll just eat that shit up won't you.. #surprisingly my credit score hasn't taken any super ugly hits from this and i aim to keep it that way lmao #anyways. that's a lot of words to say that i want to actually use my stuff lmao #shai speaks

[pastafossa]

You have my sympathies, Pasta 🥺 I’m chronically ill/disabled, too, and the first time I got Covid (thankfully AFTER my first vax dose) I was sick as fuuuck for three weeks 🙃🙃

Here’s a virtual hug to help you get through

Thank you friend! 😭 It's def a shitty club to have a membership in. I've only had covid once before, in feb 2020. There's absolutely an improvement now that I'm vaxxed and was put on paxlovid within 24 hours of symptoms (first time around I had a few moments I literally blacked out because my breathing just wasn't working), so I'm grateful for that 100%, but like you, I'm still just sick as hell thanks to other health issues piling on, exhaustion squared. Fuck chronic illness. 😪

#first round was bad and it was monyhs before i could get up stairs without resting halfway up #recovery is faster now so the vax is helping #i *can* get up the stairs now though i need to rest at the top but still #but i'm still just dragging #all my normal symptoms to manage on top of lingering covid exhaustion and chest pain and brain fog blrgh #BUT #i do feel like i'm slowly coming out of it #i'm having a few more moments every day where i feel more coherent and able to move a little bit #i'm going to start trying to write a little this week in tiny chunks #slowly work my way back into it #3 weeks like you might be a good estimate because that feels about the rate i'm improving

oh my god. i just saw some of my OLD OLD digital art like before i made my art blog and holy fuck. suddenly faith in myself completely restored

#this is why its vital to save your old art like you can get yourself so down and be like wtf am i doing this for im not improving #nothing like seeing something you made 4 years ago to bonk you on the head and make you see sense #ofc im not improving AS fast as i could be bc i dont draw enough but still #now my priority should be to become faster like its absolutely necessary. it already was years ago #i just checked how long it took me to draw my latest post and ill tell you. those two drawings took me 39 FUCKING HOURS #like that is absolutely unacceptable. no 'just go at your own pace' or anything no. that should not happen and i need to fix it #hopefully there is an actionable plan and advice out there ill have to look <3 #waah im so sad it seems the steady trickling in of notes has stopped finally. i was so close to getting my first drawing with over 200 notes #im sorry if this is shallow but it is a big deal to me #im so thankful for the notes i did get tho! it is my most well received drawing ever and that makes me happy

Very fun dog school class last night where I got to work on fixing Mav's enthusiastic (nonexistent) contacts and my confusing handling. Very grateful to @mongrelization for the knowledge and also the spicy dog.

#dogblr #maverick #dune #dog training #also grateful to miles and darcie for videoing #mav is very very sweet and very very good #but he compensates for my garbage handling and i dont improve very much #i need dune because is faster and more sensitive to weird cues so i can figure out what on earth im doing #also on the topic of mavs contacts: he struggled to lie down at the end of the dog walk when it was at full height #i think because he is bottom heavy and gravity works too hard on his giant butt #ill update next week though because maybe he was just tired

I GOT THIS RELIC WHICH ALLOWS ME TO SWITCH TO A CRIT DMG BODY PIECE FOR DAN HENG AND NOW HE HAS A BETTER CRIT RATIO RAHHHHHH

#his relics still aren't perfect imo there's still some room for improvement #but at least all except one of his relics have double crit rolls i see this as an absolute win❗️ #he has better spd now too like not crazy fast but still faster than his old build LETS FUCKING GOOOO #he's gonna be even more cracked than he already is oh just you wait until i pull for his lightcone one day. i will be Unstoppable #i'll update my build for him later i wanna take a nap lmao #now that he's at a point where i can make very minimal changes i'll probably start farming the quantum cavern again for qingque #my girl needs a better crit ratio too she hasn't even hit past 100% crit dmg yet 😭😭😭 #not genshin #lou.txt

Just read the weirdest thread on my suggestions,

A.V. : Oh so now Cattle is a danger to the planet? Well riddle me THIS "VEGUNS" (they mean like, the U.N. but whatever), Replace All those grazing livestock with a Soy Field Monocrop and what will you have?? 40 years from now, it'll be the same if not W0rse! You want Pesticide drenched, Toxic sludged, Water Draining, Small Rodent killing harvesting PLANT FARMS is that what you want?!

Me: ....im hopin for a hydroponic farm in a gutted out building near the grocery store?

#we...are already starting to use them and they require #90% less water and nutrients #they grow faster and it has no impact on flavor? #And it's in a sterilized building so no need to worry about pesticide use or animals?? being chopped up?? Via the “harvest” process? #Im sure since we already have it now it'll... be improved in 40 years? #veganism #vegan #antivegan nonsense #hell i even have a hydroponic garden in my house and lemme tell you #way easier than the raised beds outside and tastier produce too i want that for everyone? #I also bought some hydroponic lettuce from Giant that was grown a couple miles from my house #can we dream of a better world
