Been sitting on this one for a little while, but here's some pixel art of Adisorn from Online Obsession by @sourmiiiilk and it's one of my favorites I've made so far.
Not going into context for this scene, since you guys will have to wait for the game release, but I thought this bit was especially cute. Tried some new things in this one, like dithering for the transparent parts of the UI, and I think it came out cute. The snow was a bit irritating to deal with, but I'm glad I added that in.
I also still have commission slots open over on Ko-Fi, if anyone would like something a bit more limited in animation. An early bird slot is still available.
I'm so excited about Online Obsession's announcements, so Adisorn gets a themed nail look AND a playlist.
The nail polishes are Cirque Colors Lucky Jelly (that color has had so much mileage lately) layered with a white speckle polish from Cirque Colors called Snow Angel.
The game will be available on steam and itch.io and I hope people will look forward to it. @sourmiiiilk has been working hard on it.
it's always funny when you see stuff that is so obviously preemptively written to ward off Posting. the most overt manifestation is marvelesque lampshading of cliches ("hey isn't it stupid that we were saved at the last minute?") but there's other types of it. there's writing that addresses criticism in-text (Marvel Lady #24 owning a hater who says that Marvel Lady #24 is antifeminist) or fan responses like shipping (that one plotline in bbc sherlock that shows moriarty/sherlock shippers as weirdos nobody likes) or even stuff like worrying the reader won't understand the characters (EVERY instance of characters using therapyspeak in a story.)
to the insecure artist, the shadow of the Poster looms large over them. they can never mentally escape the fear that someone, somewhere, may be making memes about how their art sucks. and you know what? that's just beautiful
"No, it means non-men exclusively attracted to non-men!"
"It actually means queer attraction to women!"
"Lesbian means women and nonbinary people being exclusively attracted to other women and nonbinary people!"
Lesbian is a multifaceted label that can describe many different experiences. There is no one perfect definition of lesbian that will encompass the entire diverse experiences that lesbians can have.
I'm personally a genderqueer woman who's exclusively attracted to other women, but the lesbian next to me might be a transmasc lesbian who loves all genders except for men. And the lesbian next to them might be a bigender lesbian who's both a girl and a boy, who's exclusively attracted to women. Our experiences can all be described by the term lesbian if that's how we wish to describe it, but we might define it differently based on our own experiences. And guess what?
None of our definitions are wrong, but none of our definitions will encompass every other lesbian's experiences. A word can have multiple definitions without any of the definitions being wrong. And those definitions can be very vague or very specific. Labels are made to fit us- we aren't made to fit labels.
People who may have a different experience with the lesbian label are not your enemies. People in lesbian spaces who aren't exactly like you are not your enemies. The problem comes when you try to force one singular definition on every single lesbian. THAT is harmful. Sending death threats to other lesbians because they don't have the same experience as you is harmful. Not another lesbian having a different experience from you.
I think it’s weird how hostile the art community, on Twitter especially, has become towards children as of late? Like artists that i follow one or two people in common with, I’ll go to their bio and there’ll be something saying “minors fuck off” (or something more violent like kys) and like… dude did the 🔞 emoji not suffice? I completely get not wanting to engage with children (I’m gradually reaching a point where someone follows me and I see they’re 15 or so and get Stressed™️), but that’s still a human person. Grown ass adults will have some weird hatred of kids online for the crime of being children. Something they can’t change.
I had made a sketch based on the MC meeting Adisorn in Online Obsession by @sourmiiiilk and had the ill-advised idea of painting it straight up. I decided to use some water soluble crayons for the underpinning and I feel like maybe that was a bit too dark to start off on.
Even if I'm not entirely happy with it, I decided it would be a waste not to post it. It's my first piece of fanart of Adi, even if I did make some mistakes on it when painting and trying to re-ink some spots. Besides, it's an example that experience is always good. I feel like I've learned more from it.
It's going to be so much fun to see other people play it in the future, since I'm one of the beta testers (I actually had the sketch itself around some time before the announcement, though now we're free to post non-spoiler fanworks; granted, I just inked and painted over it today).
