Textpost redraw that only works in a modern setting, so. I gave them silly outfits (and a little bit of lore!)

Some zoom ins on the illusts!

And Lore

Moe is like. A SHUT-IN shut-in. So in any modern setting that isn't "Hey wanna visit my hometown for a sec (events so far have followed canon at least loosely)", it would have to meet Alfonse under Extremely Specific Circumstances.

And finally! Textpost under cut!

#fire emblem #feh #I PUT. SO MUCH LOVE INTO THIS ACTUALLY IT'S INSANE. ESP FOR A TEXTPOST REDRAW LMFAOOO #the vision was so clear to me though. the vibe of the post (struggling). a catastrophic fall from grace. #the idea of alfonse venting about almost losing a social interaction. a performance slipping. #a setting where he isn't performing at all now. there is nothing to perform here bc moe. well. #also the visual. i am imagining a very specific nostalgic shitass swingset in my mind. #one that doesn't exist anymore actually bc they rebuilt it (probably for the best.) but that thing #would leave rust on your hands and arms and leave your ass blue. it sucked but it was awesome #the rust marks don't show up as clearly here unfortunately LMFAO so i had to point em out. #ALSO. I AM ACTUALLY SO INSANE ABOUT THEIR OUTFITS ACTUALLY. bc BOTH of them are hiding #alfonse is trying to blend in. pass as normal. moe is trying to distract you. but also desperately trying to communicate Something. #like do you wanna be seen or not little buddy (the answer is Yes.) #back to alfonse like if not 'normal' then at least 'put together'. will suffice. i think he's also beginning to loosen up here too tho #like. so at the beginning of it that he isn't Really LMFAOO but. he painted his nails black. just to try it. #it was also so fun to freehand the patterns... camo and argyle (the socks) (hardly noticeable but that's the intent!) #'beginning to loosen up' actually i think he's just starting to fall apart. #fe alfonse #moe tag #summoner oc #my art #my comics

Something seriously lacking in my art is the ability to tell a story in a single illustration.

I've gotten so used to drawing my characters standing around doing random things that I've never practiced telling a full tale/putting implications into my pieces that require more thinking/looking.

It also comes from a lower amount of details in my works by default [since I like to get pieces done fast], but I'm tired of using that as an excuse.

#vent #kinda #sorry I'm just having a rough one tonight but I'll recover lmao #I think the AI art thing is really getting to me cuz like. #Anyone can make pretty images if they study and practice hard enough #[not to detract from people who don't tell stories with their images!] #but something in my brain wants to fight back because AI will never be able to Tell a Story through its images. #It can't make narrative choices through its regurgitation of random elements. It will never tell a cohesive and interesting tale through #detail choice #the worst it can do is create surface-level 'pretty' images by smashing together a bunch of mushed up information #but storytelling? that's human touch #that's intention. Thought. Choices. #and idk it's really bothering me lately that my images almost never... 'say' anything about a character. #this does not apply to anyone else's art I look at #it's just a standard I'm starting to feel my head apply to my own work and nobody else's. #which I'm taking as a sign that this is something I'm unsatisfied with #but the thought of starting to develop a completely new skill like that? terrifyingly daunting. #Sorry for the wall of tags I'm havin' some hella moodswings tonight #happens a lot when I get inspired by art I see #which I'm trying to work on but yaknow #it's a long process #anyways how's your night goin #I'm gonna cheer myself up by eating some amazing asparagus casserole

#i REEAAALLLY gotta start on SKETCHING things #because how else would i get other compliments other than OOO COLORS ARE SO GOOD on my art #usually i dont mind. cuz i love using bright colors #but when theres like. a plot or a story happening. and all people are doing is complimenting thr colors. well. yeah i dont take it as well #reminds me how my ex used to say my art was cute and that was ALL they said before i snapped at them #lIKE GUYS. my art is more than my colors!! RIGHT?! #if all im getting is remarks about my colors. then. it kinda stings cuz then i think thats all my art is good for #like thats the only good thing #and people also dont pay attention when i post sketches and its like. okay. thats. great. even with the tag list #but thats more of a minor complaint #what im getting at is PLEASE. I GET IT. THE COLORS ARE GOOD. IVE BEEN TOLD MILLIONS OF TIMES #iS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?? LIKE THE S T O R Y IM TRYING TO POSE HERE?@ #AAUGH #anyways- #vent #the cake doth speak #i think it's worse when all they do is compliments the colors and that's it #ive been told this so many times across so many artworks. good gondy im gonna throw something. like myself down a pit

hello new self portrait just dropped which means this is officially what i look like now

#i have glasses now!!!! i’m not very good at drawing them but i sure have them on my face at all times shdhdf #and i recently started growing out my hair!!!! my distinctive bowl cut had a good run but i’m officially moving forward #i’ve also started exaggerating my big droopy sad eyelashes a LOT in pictures lately it’s part of my core identity now or something #(that’s not true shdhdf but i think my face knew about my puppydog destiny long ago and gave me puppydog eyes) #anyway i just haven’t drew anything in forever like i think i’ve drew four things that weren’t JUST notebook doodling. all this school year #(and one of those was vent art on paper and the other one was coloring with my little sister. so i’ve drew two things on ibispaint at all) #anyway i think my glasses suit me really good and i’m also really excited i can see the world really good now #i still have some vision problems from POTS that aren’t fixed but like. i can see detail in brick walls now and i’m obsessed #house fucker behavior i’m so sorry shdhdhdff (THIS IS A JOKE AND LIE. I DONT FUCK HOUSES) #(and i’m apparently a house m.d. kinnie so i wouldn’t fuck him EITHER cause we’re the same person i could never) #ANYWAYS i can see well finally and that’s good. and in conclusion i’m real tired and should go to bed #i took my meds at 9:30 then started drawing at 10 finished at 11:30 #and now it’s midnight and i’m long overdue to be asleep already. so goodnight world!!!! #i have a sleepover tomorrow night which is very exciting. and also work and homework as usual shdhdf #but in the meantime i get to sleep. for up to 12 hours!!!! here’s hoping #ok anyway!!!! goodnight!!!! #P.S. text or call if you need anything!! #me. my post. mine. #delete later (probably)

[dustyfandomtrashbin]

Gosh every day I get less and less motivated to draw :/

#vent #I put so much effort into what I do and I get little to nothing about it #It's so demotivating and I'm really starting to feel as if what I'm doing isn't worth it anymore #Thinking about just quitting with posting art as when I really try. my confidence is just shot down and crushed #TBH it's kinda why I'm avoiding Tumblr atm plus the whole toxic workplace thing. Maybe it's just that my art isn't good enough #maybe I'm just overreacting. Idk. I'm just feeling really crushed atm

2023 go bye bye

#999 spoilers #art summary #art summery 2023 #my art #shoutout to all my monster high drawings that are still in the oven #I haven't posted them anywhere but! my friends made them pins and I've sold them on cons throughout the year :3 #I only started drawing them as a request from a boothmate actually and they're such fun designs to draw!!! #I went to a lot of local conventions to participate in the artist's alley and made so many friends that way it was wonderful #I think the next thing I'll reblog will be the game I worked on! #found out the nda doesn't cover me simply saying 'hey I worked on this thing coming out in a few months!' #so I made artist and cosplayer friends selling my art on the beach and I got my first proper job #....then I proceeded to give me a shoulder inflammation because my setup was terrible and it had to catch up to me eventually #but! already managed to get a new tablet and desk for myself!! it's even a screen tablet so there'll be a learning curve but I'm excited #I'm hoping this display will make things easier I always had trouble sketching on digital #and I am more carefully taking breaks now also because turns out relying on hiperfocus is bad for you? never knew #I was going through some stuff in the middle of the year there though I had so many vent drawings of akane from may to october qwq #not featured here are the tons of utena and umineko wips I have accumulated those were my favorite new media I got to experience for sure #in fact I'm watching the adolescence movie rn!! what in tarnation is this last act lol whatever! go Anthy go!!! floor it queen #also not featured the tons of oc stuff I made :D I'm glad I feel like I can start properly working on them soon ^^ #but yeah that's that I felt like writing a whole diary entry in these tags and you read it and that's what tumblrs all about ♡♥︎

#litchi.txt #this is about to be a vent post please do ignore me i just need to scream into the void for a moment #ive been incredibly demotivated to post #like thoroughly just. feel bad #its making it hard to make new stuff and then when i post and it gets only likes and no reblogs Im just...... yeah #i started posting less of my stuff but like i gensrs dont think theres a point to do so im starting to feel like the community just hates m #(which like. fair enough i wouldnt engage with me either) #theres a lot more art that stays in the sketchbook nowadays and the few things that i do post flop anyways so like yknow. who cares #something something create for yourself bs yeah I am creating myself #the process of scanning and balancing the tones to be at least somewhat visible when i post it is For You #i already did the creating for myself but when i share it its cause i want people to see and interact idk idk im being bitchy #should just suck it up and post everything. my 2 note hit posts #its the one thing i miss about being active in the smp fandom like the conversation and response was nice #love how Im complaining about low engagement when Im going through actual horrors in real life like my priorities are whack

God I'm just. Really tired of sexual shit being in everything literally cant even interact with a relativley general-age media without dealing with it at every corner. Interacting with fandoms especially it's so fucking depressing like it's not SUPPOSE to be there but people never think that their horniness isn't above critiscism and that there's little to no responsibility they have to practice when interacting with media IF THE MEDIA ISN'T SEXUAL/EXCLUSIVLEY FOR ADULTS THEN DON'T SEXUALIZE IT simple fucking logic yet I can't have shit on this bitch of an earth

#even if i wasnt aroace this is just. bullshit #vent #i couldnt escape it so i literally had to gradually exposure therapy myself to it so i could tolerate existing around other people #truly sex is just. its so annoying. people are so annoying about it i live in an annoying world where im suppose to adapt just because #almost nobody has any fucking interest in being idk. responsible or compassionate about it i guess #they shove it in everything because they dont want to care they dont want to be critical of their interactions with things #here i am trying to enjoy something that MAYBE has a teen rating but shouldnt have anything beyond idk. a joke or two #but i cant navigate content without having to deal with people being irresponsible and putting their horniness in it #im repeating myself but its so annoying and its so frustrating because nobody gives a shit they just think with their libidoinstead #just trying to enjoy mob psycho in peace man cant have shit #cant enjoy art without bloking half the people making it fuck meee #and dont get me started on the fanfics like fellas This Is For General Audiences you will NOT die if your practice restraint

[arcaneyouth]

yknow maybe i should've been addressing my problems with my own art months ago

#vent post #negative #trying not to be super negative tho #i'm just. i have a lot of time. to make art #i have a lot of creative energy #i have the desire to create it #...and it's scaring me. i'm talking myself out of it. like i like it better in my head cause once it gets out of my head its #not right. #i thought i solved most of it. and i think i did. turns out i don't actually like people commenting on my art all that much #cause i've been trying to make myself marketable instead of having fun and it's been killing my urge to make art #but i guess that wasn't all of it. cause instead of freaking out about letting other people down #i'm freaking out about letting myself down #cause i guess i don't. like my art???? #this might be looping back around to the marketable thing tho cause i've been so scared to experiment with my art #and now i don't really remember how #which is pretty fuckin annoying #i just wanna have fun again. why does this feel so hard #i just want to make something because i want to make it not because it'll be the most perfect thing on the planet but i don't know how to #stop myself from thinking like that anymore!!!! i don't Know!! #i think i maybe should've started avoiding comments on my art way sooner. this isn't the fault of anybody who leaves comments on my art #but i think if i had recognized what was happening sooner this wouldn't have become so lodged in my head as it is #god it's really been like a year since this started. head in my hands

[strawberylumps]

I really love the world and the people here but oh my fucking God I hate it here so much can everyone just stop

#thinking about ai and modern art and is it art discourse and elitism and pretension and the complete disrespect the world has for creatives #also the lack of quality and prices and anti intellectualism and lack of hope/reassurance that being here is worth something and that the #future will even happen #it's Dec 30 and I've just started feeling the cold and my favorite thing in the world 'art+ analysis' are for sad dummies #i want to delete my phone but i love my phone(writing software and mutuals) #waahhg I'm so fucking sick of it #vent

[peapod20001]

Bro I’m </3 thinking too hard </3

#vent #ugh. artfight. bullshit. fucking shit #I would rather have banter with my friends than draw for people that don’t care #but alas. the all consuming art game #I love drawing for people in theory but I hate how it makes me feel. do you understand what I mean by this #idk what it is but the fact art fight starts TOMORROW has me feeling like a worthless sack of shit #and that feeling is only heightened by the fact that everyone is going to be invested in it while I fucking crumble for what? the 3rd? #4th year in a row?? god. fucking sucks. I get so in my head with this bullshit every year. but I want to do it #ugh. awful. and I feel worse when people make me things and then I don’t get to send something back #awful gross beast. and now I’m just feeling worse thinking about other things. I’m so overwhelmed #and not a damn person to talk to cus 1. there’s no one to listen and 2. I can’t articulate my feelings! I don’t understand myself! #the only reason I know how to act is because I do research for my fucking characters! I’m my own fucking character! #and I wish someone was there to make me feel special like how I (hypothetically) make my ocs feel!! #ugh. whatever I’m cool and fine and dandy and NOT on the verge of tears and I’m going to eat fucking jellybeans #am I going to have a breakdown every time there’s a Holliday or event? I canNOT be caught feeling like a fucking ball of lint every #valentines day dawg. I can’t be that person. I already did that one time too many ok #how’s it feel to have people enjoy talking to you? cus I’m either too much or not enough for people

Wee ha

#Arright here I go again I gotta do some of these when I gotta vent #posting this on the 17th of August #So the elestral thing is going alright. My focus has shifted a LOT there but I'm still working with em #But the majority of my work comes from another client now. It's another one of these things that I'd love to make by myself #But someone else is making it and wanting me to do the art and music. It's gonna be huge. What a life it is. Anyway #This gif is from yet another project I started recently. Separate from Smile More HoaM and anything else. I keep fucking doing this #But this one's strange. It reflects my current working skills I've built up all these years. A multimedia experience that has a start n end #featuring all your favourite elphame characters in a new style. I'm enjoying making it but there's one problem #I haven't worked on it in like a month and a half #Work is piling up. Pixel art is something I don't do for myself anymore #It's not even a case of “as soon as I have time to myself my fingers can't move" it's that I just do not have any spare time lmao #I meet Ashley once or twice a week. We still play digimon a lot but we're taking this month off since she's petsitting and can't go out lat #My flatmate has basically taken the summer off work since his job pays well enough for him to do so #so having him around to play games with is nice. Feels awkward taking baths with him in the house tho lmao #He is kind of the only reason I take breaks. I got pikmin 4 and it is incredible. Genuinely might have replaced Digimon World as 1st place #Mum took Andy and I to Netherlands recently. It was incredible. I played in a local digimon tournament and ate shit #Have just been so excited about travelling lately. Ashy taking me to manchester soon and I think we'll go london next spring or sooner #Worried I'm overdoing it with the tags so I'll sign off here. Work is stressing me out but it looks like big things are happening. #OH MY GOD I HAVE STOPPED BLEEDING BTW. Like almost altogether. Haven't in like a month. The trick is in the big box I rest my feet on. #It's too tall. I tried replacing it with a pile of folders half as tall and my bleeding fucking stopped. No crohn's disease or anything. #Just a big stupid fucking box. Anyway see you

[kurixta]

Idk. Maybe I should just give up. It’s clearly not working for me

#vent #youre always told to not care abou numbers #and i dont #i just want my shit to be appreciated #im working my ass off so hard and for what? #i want to know if im actually worth something #at first i thought people just never are confident enough to comment that they actually like it #but then i started thinking #if they truly cared about what I did they would say something #my work means nothing to anyone #at best its just an extra art to look at while youre waiting for better people to post #and in class im just realizing maybe i never had a future in art in the first place #everyone is better than me. its hard for them to find nice things to say about my pieces even if theyre being nice #now i know im just not good at all #despite all the effort and time #im dying. but maybe i should just kill creativity off first so i can last a little longer #though i dont have any other purpose in life. i dont know what id do #i just want to be loved okay? #vent art #i want to add im not jealous of anyone #im so happy other artists get support #they deserve it #maybe i just dont
