FEB 25th, 2023 - One of the earliest nosk fanarts I drew (left)

APR 11th, 2024 - One of my most recent nosk artworks (right)

if you are frustrated at trying to make art in the start, as you believe it would never be "good enough" in comparison to your favorite artists you see.

Please remember that art takes time and throughout the journey.. you will develop and eventually find your own style and learn new things. In the process, it will change without you knowing that you are improving.

All you have to do is to pick up a pencil, start practicing, find inspiration, and enjoy yourself.

Fuck AI art forever personally

#despite my first fanart of nosk was absolute dog water. its pretty nostalgic tbh haha #i remembered showing my old art on hk discord acting like I drew the mona lisa #and then sometimes there absolute God-tier artists who would say I cook that thing up. keep going (JUMPSCARE-) #my art #hollow knight #hollow knight art #hk nosk #nosk #hollow knight little ghost #hk knight #hk little ghost #no to ai art

My father was a tailor in Leeds, as was his father and his father’s father. Time was if a man on the Avondale Road asked where he might find the finest clothes in northern England, he was pointed toward the shop of a man named Rackham. Then the men who sell wool decide they’d prefer not to compete with the men who imported fine cotton, and as the men who sell wool have the ears of the men who make laws, an embargo is enacted to increase profits and calico disappears. And my father’s business that he inherited from his father and his father’s father begins to wither and die. And my father suffers the compound shame of financial ruin seen through the eyes of his son and descended into drink. I’d sit beside him as a boy at the Sunday service as he shouted at the pastor, at the altar - at anyone who’d listen, really - at the injustice of it all. And I’d put my arm over his shoulder as the insults began, help carry him out of the church. God the insults. At his funeral, our neighbors were kind enough to whisper them rather than call them out loud. So, I set out to work, determined to rebuild what had been taken away. I was thirteen years old, but I was determined… Until a man arrived at my door claiming to hold debts belonging to my father, debts accumulated as my father drank, debts he claimed that now belonged to me, debts I could not possibly have hoped to repay, debts over which this man would have seen me imprisoned - imprisoned in a place where the debts would have been discharged only through hard labor, hard labor with no wages, working at - wait for it - the production of textiles. “You people, incapable of accepting the world as it is” says the man to whom the world handed everything. If no Anne, if no rescue, if this is defeat for me, then know this: you and I were neck and neck in this race right till the end, but, Jesus, did I make up a lot of ground to catch you.

I wanna tell yall about something my gf just did because it is single-handedly the most romantic thing she's ever done

So yesterday I had a bad day, and last night I had nightmares, like a lot more than usual, and my gf stayed the night up trying to calm me down. So today I felt really bad for making her stay up (yay trauma) and I decided I'd make her favourite tiramisu.

So when I opened my kitchen drawer, I noticed that we were all out of ingredients so I went out to get some. And when I returned home, what do I find? My gf, standing in the kitchen, decorating my favourite tiramisu, which might I remind you is extremely hard to make. So this woman, who is a 6/10 at most in cooking, stole my tiramisu ingredients, cooked the entire thing at her former roommate's house (because she wanted it to a surprise) and then wanted to give it to me before I got back.

And her reason for making it? Because I told her literally one insignificant time that tiramisu sometimes helps in the nightmares, since I used to have it in my childhood sometimes.

So yeah I'm gonna go sob now.

#mona's sessions #i actually love her so much #the fact that she remembered each ingredient i told her about #and i dont even remember telling her! #the tiramisu was delicious #passing on the michelin star to her now #everyone say thank you to her

dps boys hcs! this has been requested of me! lets make it modern bc thatll be fun

- todd absolutely DESPISES "booktok" and its addiction to smut. can go on a VERY long rant abt how only reading things with sex scenes is, in fact, a porn addiction.

- knox has tried on many occasions to become an influencer, failing every single time and blaming it on the algorithm or whaver

- neil, type of mother fucker to not be on social media like at all. has one private instagram that he posts on maybe twice a year, and has a tiktok only to watch the videos todd intermittently sends him.

- ^^^ followed immediately by a text saying "i sent you a tiktok go look at it" which always sparks a mini argument about whether or not its easier to just save the video and text it to him. goes nowhere every time.

- meeks has fashion taste that makes him look insufferable, band tee's and the worst jeans you ever did see, exclusively. also modern meeks would have clear glasses frames.

- saw someone say charlie would vape, id like to add to that. has a COLLECTION of elf bars, its vast, its colourful, it's annoying, it's turning his coughs wet.

- pitts was a fast fashion guy for a total of 6 months before finding out all the shit about how unethical the industry is. didnt get rid of any of those clothes bc thats wasteful but he IS fighting for his life whenever anyone looks at his wardrobe.

- cameron is a BIG analog horror fan, local 58, walten files, fnaf tapes, thats his jam. can we popularise cam being a big horror fan in general bc im so attached to that hc. horror cam i love u.

- all the boys have a life360 circle (enforced by cam and pitts due to charlie's horrendous reckless driving) and todd CONSTANTLY needs to be yelled at the charge his phone.

- neil's phone is ANCIENT, had the same one for nearly a decade, and its evident. has a bigass crack right down the middle, the back is shattered and held together with tape, a phone case, and a dream. theres marks from shit burning into the screen, most notably a rectangle in the bottom corner from the billions of facetime calls with todd that ultimately set his phone on fire every time.

- todd is secretly a grade A yapper but ONLY in digital form. his online presence is VAST, but impressively anonymous. has a very active substack, letterboxd, poetry tumblr, and even started his own blog. no, not a tumblr blog, a blog blog.

- charlie's car is decked out in the most idiotic add ons that you can think of. comically large mirror dice, a bumper sticker that says "honk if you want me bad", stupid car door lights that project a photo of jimmy fallon onto the ground when u open them, the whole 9 yards. took neil, pitts, and cameron 20 minutes to talk him out of getting flame decals (as a bit.)

- knox refuses to play any other videogame besides GTA, which he plays concerningly often. if ur having trouble reaching him then odds are hes on GTA. its the only hobby of his that his parents know about. christmas is tough for the overstreets.

- meeks is well aware of his general ☝️🤓 demeanour so he started making jokes about it before anyone else can. any time he says anything remotely smart sounding then he MUST do the voice and put up a finger. it became a force of habit and he did it while talking to a teacher once, he left the room mortified.

- pittsie lives on spotify, he has a playlist for every possible emotion, over 3k liked songs, and 200k+ minutes listened when wrapped season rolls around. additionally he does every spotify stat game available, and forced the boys to download a spotify activity widget thing. (WHAT DO YALL KNOW ABT AIRBUDS ‼️‼️ add me @ monahatesya xoxo)

- cam loves to make jokes about DARE and the "this is ur brain on drugs" ads but he is, in fact, the main demographic of said ads. said this before, saying it now, will most definitely say it again, he is beyond susceptible to peer pressure. marijuana isnt a gateway drug for everyone but it certainly is for him.

bonus! chris and keating! just for you!

- chris is avoiding the lesbian masterdoc purely out of fear. not out of fear of being gay, but out of fear of the sheer amount of subsequent other things she'll likely also have to find out about herself.

- keating spends an inordinate amount of time on youtube, which nobody actually expects. big video essay fan, imagine the shock from the boys when he pulls up youtube for a lesson and he's halfway thru the 4 hour iBinged iCarly video. was previously a james somerton fan but considering... the james somerton part.. hes now a defunctland loyalist.

#desire mona #WHOO #i successfully remembered all the hcs that got deleted please clap #i forgot how fun these types of posts are #i luuuvvvv getting specific with it #also congrats swifties on the new album release personally i very much dislike her (for the carbon emission reasons not the misogyny reason #) but im glad yall are eating good #dead poets society #neil perry #todd anderson #charlie dalton #knox overstreet #steven meeks #gerard pitts #richard cameron #chris noel #john keating #banger

Begging and crying for you to make a tutorial to draw like you 🙏🙏

ANON u know what sometimes i don't even know how I draw DSHHGFHAGFGAHSHF

for example, the amount of sketching that went into making the Columbina piece was hilarious

Be brave, practice fundamentals, and keep trying new things! You might discover that one of those new things will turn out to be a great addition to your style :)

When I was still a little fresh in unlocking my abstract-ish style, I answered a more specific ask, and I think it might be relevant for you, so I'll link it here !

#asks #most of my workflow these days has been //look at mona's starry night piece from 2022 and try to remember how I did that// BAHAH #but y'know as artists the only way is forward ^^ #lots of times I feel my art looks pretty bad in the moment #but then I look at it when I'm in a slump months later and realize it wasn't that bad #stay strong!!

I see and appreciate all the takes on Hob teaching medieval history, but I raise you Hob teaching queer history. Hob teaching about the Thatcher Regime and the police violence of the time, about the rise of the queer scene between both world wars and the steadily rising persecution starting in the 50s, about the Buggery Act, and Section 28, and the wilfully ignorant, actually malicious response to the AIDS pandemic. But not only that; Hob teaching about resistance, about ActUp's die-ins and OutRage's kiss-ins and the alliance with the striking miner's that changed so much. About countless people who lived and loved and resisted regardless all throughout history, and how they—we, Hob still needs to remind himself, some days, that he can say we—have always been there. How it's all about making the right choices even when that is not "how it is done" at the time because what else is history for than keeping us from making the same mistakes, over and over?

#the sandman #hob gadling #queer history #yes yes I know weirdly much about UK's queer history considering I'm not actually from the UK and I'm making it everyone's problem #also could be #dreamling #if you want it to be #but really I just think that this would be very on brand for him and also just #something he actively remembers well #and also just. my special interest brain #having someone who might *know* about titbits of queer history reaching back farther than the 20th century #everything we know is so *fractured* #and ofc one individual who lived through it wouldn't be a walking history book either #but god he must know so much of just... every day life #ANYWAY #before i get emotional *again* #imma shut up #mona's rambling

I know I'm late to the party but I finally picked up This Is How You Lose the Time War and man, I sincerely can't remember the last time that a novel had me hooked from the very first page. I mean, I've read some great books this year, but none of them swallowed me whole within the first sentences the way this one did. I hope the rest of it lives up to this start

#i remember how much i loved mona awads bunny for example #but it still took more than like #half a page to get me invested #maybe i just missed reading scifi 🤷 #but it's been a great novel so far #txt
