#just grateful that the art exists

[gshsjdkdoid]

If y'all don't know, I'm like the biggest Pipbert shipper. I don't just mean in South Park, I also mean in Great Expectations. And I just wanna give a huge thanks to @hyodyton for keeping me sane. Thank you bro, your art is amazing and you honestly deserve more praise for your art🫶

#great expectations #pipbert #south park #seriously #thank you so much for keeping me sane for so long #dont worry im fine #just grateful that the art exists

Lil trolls ocs doodles I did, the first two were my own attempts at mixing Poppy and Branchs dna and the second is a very cute troll who belongs to @spjs

#my art #trolls #trolls oc #dreamworks trolls #im not here this is queued #the little broppy kids dont have names #they just exist #maybe ill give them names at some point or maybe theyll fade into nothing in the back of my mind #they were made when i was first learning how to draw trolls #jade was drawn after i had a few drawings under my belt #but you can see i was still using the inking pen and not the modified syrup pen #i love the syrup pen on procreate fr #itll never be the same as the gpen on medibang but its good enough for now #the gpen on medibang had this thing called ooze which made my art look crunchy in a good way #if anyone can find or make me a new gpen i would be forever grateful #blease i need her

A twewy fan animation i made for tiktok and yiutube shorts.

#my art #fanart #fan art #twewy #the world ends with you #neku sakuraba #joshua kiryu #my animation #fan animation #artists on tumblr #i personally think the portrait format of video has creative potehtial like webtoon formatting does #i just think many people are averse to it cause they forget nintendo ds cutscenes exist and many comics read well vertically #the lack of crestivity in portrait formatted videos is due to lack of frame of references #im grateful twewy exposed my fruity ass to such a formatting that can work #the goal shouldnt be to ape on landscape via style and aesthetic sensibiliies but more keep your fundamentals intact while enhancing it #aka webtoons dont need constant white spaces just creative framing thats cohesive #and videos on tiktok can be artistically redifing conema if people choose to use the duet format vertically instead of horizontally

#Wow. Okay ♡ #I love this episode. The animation is flawless. The drawings quality is out of the world for real. #I love this episode so much I'm so grateful so much care and dedication went to this sskk centered episode. #(Refraining to talk about what 5x03 could have been) #Sorry for repeating myself but seriously the illustrations this episode are so so pretty. #I rarely appreciate how Akutagawa is drawn in the anime but when it comes with this episode I really like how he looks too. #And Atsushi that I already like a lot in the anime on average‚ this episode is just fabulous. Handsome even. #Seriously I don't know who the animators are but I want to kiss them. This art style is one I dare say I like even more than Dead Apple– #that although is obviously more detailed is just... In comparison too rough for my personal taste? #The art style for this episode is very delicate and soft and I love it tons #And the directing is just great. No weird pacing or awkward ost choice. It's neat. #The reiterated placing ss/kk on opposite sides is neat. The lightening is likeable and especially the purple scene is super pretty. #The “don't compare me to him” scene is neat. The ss/kk final scene is AMAZING. It's gorgeous and stunning and awestriking and every other– #epitome in the world. It's like the only scene I believe turned out better in the anime that it is in the manga which is saying SO MUCH. #But it's really that good!!!!! My favourite anime ss/kk scene ever. #Aaaaaahhh please let me talk about it forever it's sooo pretty and especially poignant... #The heaven-like soft yellow light and how it contrasts with the bleak stormy background. But especially their softening features... #Man that scene. okay. Akutagawa's quiet surprise!!!! That scene is. Idk. Unfortunately chapter 88 exists– #but it's nearly the most romantic thing ever. #I'll leave it at this. It's not like the bsd animation suddenly became a masterpiece and this is still an episode– #I would say I like less than my least liked k/l/k episode (Trigger animation my beloved). But in comparison with the rest of the anime– #It's really bsd anime at its peak #random rambles #Aah peoples btw I'm probably going to spam ss/kk‚‚‚‚ a lot today. Apologies in advance unfollow me now etc. etc.

I know this is very out of character, but the motif of heavy rain, lightning and a supportive relationship was enough for me- so here is this nonsense

Did this is a different style then usual because I can :)

#sth #kit the fennec #kitsunami the fennec #surge the tenrec #lyric comic #struck by lightning #Sara keys #cavetown #sonic idw #vent art I guess #I really love my friends guys #so much #I am oh so grateful for them #even when like we don’t do anything we just do exist in the same space #like honestly I’ve been in such a bad place but like the fact I get to do exisist with these people I am so so lucky #this is so messy and sloppy and I was so lazy but that’s okay I like it like that actually #Spotify

Hey, your work is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world the way you have, even in this wretched climate so inhospitable to art and artists. You do a lot of good by existing and sharing and creating. Thank you!!!

ADKJGFJGJDKJGF OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 😭😭😭 Yeah the whole AI-stuff seems very grim and depressing, but luckily I see more and more conventions, corporations and publishers putting a stop to it by not accepting any AI-generated work and I'm sure more companies will follow this motion and update their guidelines accordingly, for only "human-made" work to be accepted.

I don't say much on the topic because I just don't like to put my attention to it, so this will be my only comment on the subjet, but I absolutely applaud all those who are actively fighting against it, because it's definitely a necessary fight against art theft and to make sure there are guidelines being created to handle this new technology. We can't make it disappear, but we can set up rules and give it proper management.

This may sound naive but I am actually very optimistic that this will be handled and settled in a couple of months. Or maybe a year or two. I don't think AI can replace artists in any way. Because in the end, artists are not a hivemind you can study and simply copy and paste, because every artist is an individual. They're all unique with their own minds, their own styles, their own ideas and concepts and every single person brings something new to the table.

Sure, AI can steal and copy a person's art style. But they cannot copy what's inside your mind. They cannot predict you. They can just copy what you have already created, but its YOU who came up with it. And if you're a comic artist or a storyteller of any kid, they'll never be able to tell YOUR stories.

They'll never replace you because they cannot be you. Nobody can be you. Only you can be you. And that's why you'll never lose your worth, because nobody can create the things you create in YOUR way. Don't let the outside world tell you otherwise. You are so worthy just for being here. You bring so much joy just for being and sharing what's on your mind. Don't let anyone make you feel like you're replacable, because you're not. So thank you for being here too! :DD

#Writing this for all my fellow artists out there young and old #I know how many of you are scared and insecure and how the MAJORITY of us struggle with feeling like we're not good enough and I UNDERSTAND #But it's going to be okay!! Trust me #You ARE good enough #And AI cannot replace you #You're doing great!! #AND I WILL STOMP ON ANY JERKS WHO TELL YOU OTHERWISE #OH AND @ASHANISMUS I SAW YOUR HUNTLOW ART AND ITS REALLY GOOD I LOVE IT #Thank you for sending me this ask #it really brightened my day!! #I just realized I basically reiterated your point in this reply of being grateful for others just existing #IT'S A VERY GOOD POINT!!! AND I LOVE IT!!! WE CAN'T REPEAT IT ENOUGH FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD TO SEE #mod #reply

I am currently hit with the wonder of how our life and everything around us is just pure luck, and what a luck is it to live within a world with so many wonderful pets to see run around, pieces of art made out of sheer passion, people all unique and wonderful in their own ways who make the world better by being kind to each other and building a world together.

this planet, all the stuff on here is here because of some random thing we don't know, but it's here and we get to live with it. the sun rises and sets, birds sing and so can we, the world has so many wonderful things to offer and none of it was intentional.

most of all, we are here; it's all the randomness of life that brought us here. where/how/when we are born is something fully out of our control, but even in the worst circumstances there are pieces of beauty. be it in nature, or in crafts, or in acts of kindness from strangers or getting to know wonderful people and growing with them.

meeting a person is always a moment of fate. it isn't Destined To Be, but meeting someone is pure luck, and what happens afterwards does also still depend on luck, but it's all what makes this life so unique. you can't guess what will happen and at every turn something amazing can happen.

I didn't know my friends last year. we met at uni this year. I didn't know they exist, I didn't know I'd meet them, I didn't even vaguely know they exist, but I met them and we spoke and spent more time together and had fun and not even a year later we're laughing together in a groupchat with some nonsensical inside jokes and they are definitely not the last ones.

I also met other people whom I now care deeply about, all of whom are their own selves and it is truly astounding to me how vast the human experience is. how many ways there are to live. how many ways you can express yourself in this world and you'll still find people who understand you.

life is so random, but this also adds a lot of joy to it, so why should it be anything else?

#morningtalks #I'm 3 am and I'm having emotions #good ones for once #but no truly I am just so grateful for being alive #my childhood was SHIT but I'm here now and I have people I love and things I do that I'm proud of #I've grown so much in a year and when I look back at where I was in may 2023 the differences are so wild #and all of this is happening because I exist #because the world exists and I was born and can experience it all myself #the bad but also and especially the good #how wild it is that we exist? that we as humans evolved and developed and feel such complex emotions #as to have me crying at three am because I exist in the same world as fun animals and rainbows #and art and love and kindness and everything wonderful this world has to offer

[perilegs]

i’m making huge generalizations here but idk i feel so much more comfortable just existing around trans (and some gnc) people than i do with people who are cis (and gender conforming) bc of the way we view our - and other peoples bodies. i hear trans people talk about bodies with so much love and adoration. like sure hating your body is a big thing for most trans people but most of us also learn to accept what we look like. and the acceptance often turns to genuinely liking yourself. especially if you make changes you want to to your body. it’s just. idk i feel like only a trans person could see my body for what it is

#ive seen a lot of trans art recently and its all been so lovingly made and with clear adoration towards bodies that look like yours #idk im not very eloquent and theres a lot more nuance to this entire thing #but like. i personally love my body like yea i have parts im insecure about we all do but also i have been able to choose to do things to m #body that make me happy! and i dont just mean surgery and hrt bc thats not for anyone but also choosing to do whatever the hell i want to #with my hair and getting piercings and dressing in a way that feels good #i know being able to dress etc the way you want to is a privilege #and im so grateful for it #i can't believe there was a time when i wasnt allowed to cut my hair or wear boy clothes and i had to dress up as a girl #and got constantly reminded of being a failure of femininity etc. and now that i dont talk to my mom anymore im so free #i can exist in my body and i actually feel like my body is mine and not there just for show if that makes sense #like i look in the mirror and go that me! #and also like seeing myself like that has obviously made me appreciate others bodies as well #bc when you have for a long time always payed attention to the positives of a certain thing you start noticing positives more! #just like how idk going for a walk and finding 5 nice things you appreciate or looking #in the mirror and listing things you like about yourself #out loud. even if you feel uncomfortable #it helps #can you believe you're happier when you fall a bit in love with everything around you #there are so many wonderful things on this earth and you have to condition yourself to notice them and its hard work that never stops #but it is so worth it #i have lost the plot of my post #leevi talks #anyways i love how trans people love bodies

Fanny, my sweet, beautiful girl

17.11.2012 – 14.04.2019

#my art #artists on tumblr #I cannot accept that it has been 5 years already #I know covid messed with everyone’s sense of time but it simultaneously feels so much longer and so much shorter than that #exactly five years ago I was holding onto my mom for dear life and sobbing as we watched lilo and stitch together #not the best movie to watch when you’ve just lost your first ever pet you know #and then I cried myself to sleep at the next morning we never mentioned her again #I know it’s because it was way too painful for everyone involved. but I do wish I was allowed to process that grief properly #instead of bottling it up and pretending everything was okay until I was reminded of her #feeling like my heart was being shattered over and over again every single time #well anyway. enough of that. I’ve allowed myself a nice long cry today and got most of it out of my system #and once I was feeling okay I decided to draw her #and I can count the number of times I’ve drawn animals on one hand so.. I’m not too sure about the result #but it felt like to commemorate her in some way. #so yeah. here she is. my dear girl. the best dog in existence. she was always so affectionate and kind #which I didn’t always appreciate bc of how young I was. when you’re a kid it feels like pets will live forever #never barked. never bit anyone. her only crime was chewing on my mlp and lps toys that I left out on the floor #but I’m grateful she did that. it taught me not to leave my toys lying around and to clean up after myself #she really was taken from me way too soon. ideally she could still be alive right now. but I’ve been down the road of guilt and regret #there was nothing I could do. I was a child. I can only hope that she knew she was loved right until the very end #even if I didn’t know how to show it properly. and great. now I’m tearing up again #I suppose it’s unavoidable. April 12th will always be a melancholy day. and maybe that’s not such a bad thing #it’s good to have a day when I can freely remember her and cry if I need to. it’s healthy. it’s better than crying every day #she never liked it much when I cried. always tried to comfort me. that’s the kind of dog she was. I miss her so much #when I move apartments and get a dog of my own I’m getting a spaniel. just like she was #well. maybe a different colour so I don’t end up sobbing every time I look at it. but spaniels really are the perfect breed #I mean. cavaliers especially were bred for love and warmth. that’s just what I need. it will be nice to have someone waiting for me at home #and while I don’t necessarily believe in the afterlife… I do hope that Fanny’s watching over me #spiritually comforting me when I feel all alone in the world. it’s a nice thought for sure #and hopefully she won’t mind me getting another spaniel too much. it will be done in her honour after all. to make up for my past mistakes

Ngl I really hate this new trend of obnoxious gatekeeping

#Esp the stuff aimed at twitter users #it has the same dude bro reddit gate keeping energy #it's actually grating af #fun fact #a piece of art i posted there has a 1:1 rewtweet/to like ratio last i checked #while the same piece of art has well over double the likes to reblogs #and i think most of the people who's want to come to tumblr are people who hate musk's ass #also? #guess what kills a website? #a dwindling user base and not welcome to new users #tumblr won't just exist forever if it's an insultated circle of users that gate keep itself into oblivion #they do need users/money to run #not being some private lil club house

"oh, yeah," we think, "we could probably cross this over into Li nked Uni verse if we actually draw out the canon for long enough, smacking different versions of the same character into each other is always fun especially when it has the potential for massive cultural differences and shit like running into things where the thing that has been forgotten has significance beyond the things that are remembered. Hey, we should probably check the comic in order to comply with the six-month rule, we don't think we ever finished-"

We return from the reference images. We have remembered why we didn't finish looking into the base comic.

#we speak #negative chatter #moving one level of fandomization away from og LU to merely use them as inspiration for bootleg LU with more base game inspiration #we forgot why we had the author blocked. we remember now #we probably wont elaborate further on this because we keep a firm policy of not publically shit talking folk at random #we just kinda got Unexpectedly Sandblasted by them being weird abt furries&otherkin in a random twi light reference post #we are censoring this so it does not go into their tag btw! no one likes random shit talk and this is just us being vaguely pissy #the wording is vague enough that they feel like theyre like. they dont mean to imply they DISLIKE this group #they just find them strange and offputting and they strongly dislike that they project anything onto A Character #as we do not control their life and theres nothing we can do to force them to Not be uncomfortable or act Strange towards a group #all we can really do is like. scrunge up at an attitude we find it VERY difficult to mesh with and go our separate ways #the multitude of takes on these characters and the way that their fandom is so creative about them and produces so many different Ideas #is very fun! and we heavily enjoy reading it sometimes! however we cannot enjoy the base comic #because though we know that the author likely didnt intend it to come off like that and we know accusations of hate would be FAR too strong #we cannot shake the feeling that we are the sort of thing that they would look upon as a deeply offputting aberration #and they merely avoid voicing that out of a mix of manners and a wish to not get into discourse while hundreds of people are watching #so it is best to keep our distance where we don't have to be uncomfortable at the subtle bias that will pervade through all art #and they dont have to get grated against in ways that may negatively impact things from us having little shame in our existence #which is to say theres like a solid chance that the bias is not malicious and is in fact just like. lingering cultural bias type shit #however we arent gonna deal with that and us being a huge obnoxious weirdo might be liable to push them against us via abrasion #being exposed to smth more often can very easily actively push you against that thing by virtue of dislike of the people who like it #and though our individual action may not mean much in the scheme of things it will do less harm to both of us if we back the hell off #give that shit some time to soak without being prodded at too hard and hopefully someone else will be able to open the conversation better #because with bias especially you CANNOT break it down with one or two discussions #and you very much have to have the person with the bias willing to step back and examine that pattern of bias and unravel it #because if you go up at people like “this is WRONG and heres why” theyre far more likely to get defensive and feel attacked #and then double down because they feel attacked and don't want to give in to people who have been Nothing But Rude To Them #its a pattern of thought that can be a real bitch to deal with and we really arent capable of the subtle approach it requires to break thro #anyways. where were we. oh yeah we forgot why we blocked someone and now we're making a tumblr post about it

Iskars said “chaotic” and we agreed ✧˖°. Rooting-out-the-stakes year~

Who would have thought I finished it this time before the year’s end..! I wasn’t sure how to title the 2022 summary, a lot of things happened (and keep happening) that have me both in a state of wonder and stress (and excitement and fear- it’s all over the place). In the end I feel this is the best way to label it, as it was my major highlight.

I honestly thought there is no way I can fill this year’s summary but gave it a shot regardless. Super surprised there were works I wanted to include but didn’t..! My priority was to highlight the works that were the most emotionally-charged with memories of each month. (I think it’s the same pattern I followed last year :3)

::Quick Summary!

January: Loads of zine work, making merch for the first time★ || February: zine work vol.2  ||  March, April: Merch design vol.2 || May: Commissions, hand/shoulder therapy, healing time..~ || June: taking it easy, healing vol.2 + konvid || July, August, September: Pulling the weeds out {thank you♥} || October: Mostly traditional, somewhere in the sea... || November: learning & applying new things, heavy admin, kickstarter, back to physio (lol) || December: heavy-lifting in kickstarter & wind down with warmups, akiangel brainrot & doing stretches~

::Highlights: merch making⭐, perseverance🌱💧, be snail🐌🍀

Thank you for an amazing learning year..! Wishing you all the best for the coming one ♥✨💓

Fun facts:

in my illustration folder I only have 1 (one) illustration finished for 2022. New record?!

Starting in August I got heavy into visual-key (thanks catten~) and it was the only genre I listened to (thank you for the suggestions sush TT w TT♥♥♥) until November..!

At the time (Aug) I was also listening to “Time management for mortals” by Oliver Burkeman and I HIGHLY reccommend it. (I still haven’t finished it entirely, I take my time to listen to each episode and take notes as I go, but it’s really, really good...)

October was heavily traditional sketchbook filled but I happened to draw 3 times digitally so I combined those instead for the art summary. Figures intruding everywhere..!!

I re-read CSM in October because I saw an Akiangel zine and I thought “I want in..!”. I didn’t know this ship was a thing! It’s been doing some serious heavy-lifting for my mood the last couple months. I am obsessed.

I said I’ll take a sabbatical from zines in 2023 to work on my own. I lied. I AM A CLOWN.*

#art summary 2022 #yearly art meme #art summary #I see your tags in my previous post- I promise I will be delivering <3 #I am slow but I am doing things at a steady pace #it's incredible..! #wising for a healthy & loving 2023..! <3 #stay well and take care of yourselves! #love your art!!!!! <3 #I am indescribably grateful for the people I met this year.. thank you all for existing in my life♥♥♥! #*I WILL work on my own zines/ books- i just happen to have a couple zine works too now //wheezes #I am so sorry me #....I will be alright

god word of honor really is just the show of all time isnt it. it's a wuxia drama but god it just feels so authentically human. The sins, failures, atonement, redemption. vulnerability, the desire is just so deliciously portrayed, simple yet compelling and entirely relatable. every character no matter how little the screen time is nuanced and interesting [except Shen Shen who is a whole dumbass throughout]. The romance though understated is tangible, a beautiful queerness that lingers across the episodes, not just in the love that's portrayed but the beliefs and ideals it deals with - the monstrosity and the shameless pride in it. I have watched this show five times and it feels like ill never tire of it

#word of honor #word of honor rewatch #i do regret everything that's happened in fandom #but its just such a beautiful creation such honest art #that i can only be grateful it exists
