#strive hard

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

At the start of this project all I wanted was to 'learn how to draw' using comics as a medium and the MDZS audio drama as inspiration.

I've come *very* far from making simple, 3 panel black and white comics, and I truly do intend to go even further. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on throughout 2023, it has been an incredible year in so many ways I never could have imagined. I look forwards to drawing throughout 2024 B*)

#poorly drawn mdzs #art summary #It's so interesting looking back at how my style and technique changed throughout the year! #I used PD-wwx as the consistent factor (October is an exception) and you can see so many processes going on. #My little petri dish amoeba (with a little red bow to tell him apart from the other amoeba) <3 #Whether it's getting new markers or trying out a new shading style - it's cool seeing a snapshot of my journey like this B*) #There's certainly been a slower curve to my overt improvement *but* I have become so much faster! #My life outside of drawing has been hectic and at several points extremely stressful this year. For all the work this blog has been- #-It has truly been a life saving anchor when the darkest of times have hit. #Love is hard work. Change is even harder work. Sticking to a goal I set out for myself and striving to keep going was worth it. #And I love drawing. I think there has always been something in me that longed for this. And it is finally tangible! I can draw!!! #I wanted to make a more elaborate year reflection where I looked back at my favourite comics and jokes. #but I'll leave that to the one year anniversary. #I have also been collecting a ton of statistics throughout the year and I am desperate to share them. I'm that kind of nerd B*) #I can never say it enough: Thank you all for the kindness and support. I wish everyone a lovely 2024!!!

Unrelated I get where people are coming from but the whole “it’s not that hard to be a decent person” tjing is just straight up not true. How can u actually believe that…. It’s so much easier to be an awful selfish asshole especially in the moment. Actively choosing and trying to be nice and thoughtful and sweet is so difficult and it feels weird for people to just not acknowledge that

#maidsmess #especially with autism. I have a hard time determining the weight of interactions if that makes sense #but I do want to be good and genuine #sorry this probably sounds whiny . I think everyone should strive to be good #and I think everyone wants to be good. I think it’s in our nature to want to be kind and good #it’s just hard

friendly reminder that Neteyam is a well-adjusted kid who has a good relationship with his parents, that he tries his darnedest to be a good warrior because he genuinely looks up to his dad and wants to be like him, and that the idea that Jake and Neytiri are "forcing" him to be perfect, that they "stole his childhood" or that he's "not allowed" to be a kid, etc. are all pure fanfiction with little to no evidence in canon thanks bye

#avatar #avatar 2 #neteyam #given how hesitant Jake is to let Neteyam fight I can absolutely GUARANTEE you that there was almost certainly NEVER an interaction... #...in which Neteyam said ''hey Mom and Dad I'm gonna go hang out with Lo'ak and Kiri now'' #and Jake and Neytiri reply ''no son you're too old for such childish things you must come do Adult Tasks that you secretly hate instead #so you can be the Perfect Future Olo'eyktan™" #THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN #AND IT'S NOT “IMPLIED” TO HAVE HAPPENED EITHER #Y'ALL MADE THAT UP IN YOUR HEADS #along with the idea that Neteyam secretly hates his lot in life and is internally yearning to be A Normal Kid™ #guys Neteyam WANTS to be a warrior he WANTS follow in Jake's footsteps he strives so hard because HE *WANTS* TO OF HIS OWN ACCORD #there is absolutely d i d d l y s q u a t that suggests this path is being “forced” on him #or that he is being secretly ~crushed under the pressure~ and Just Wants to Be Free or w/e #you. made. that. up. #it's not a canon aspect of his character #and. look. if you wanna explore the idea of him being ''crushed under pressure'' in a fanfic #because you find it interesting or it helps you work through your own stuff then hey be my guest #but once you start saying stuff like #''oh i feel so bad for [canon] Neteyam because he died before he could break free of his parents' toxic influence'' #Shut Up™ #neteyam's parents were not a toxic influence; he was never forced into being something he didn't want to be; his childhood was not “stolen” #he did not have anything to “break free” of. you are injecting extra layers of tragedy that aren't actually there #you are giving yourself extra grief for things that were never canon #stahp #feel free to write whatever you want in fanfiction but please i am begging you #to be aware of which ideas are actually present in the movie vs. which ones are just fanfiction

Some doodles because the concept art for this mediocre corporate mess has been haunting me

#we could have had it all #starboy #asha x star #wish 2023 #wish rewrite #wish concept art #pls don't bother trying to defend the movie to me cos i really really really don't care #these two have been rotating in my brain like a rotisserie chicken and thats why im here #disney used to be known for exactly three things: insane musical numbers + traumatising parent death scenes and LOVE STORIES #h0w do u manage to leave each of those out of ur big celebration homage flick????.. #i have my own full rewrite with replacement song concepts that will never see the light of day but thats what these come from #the gist is its gender-swapped Stardust where the moral is 'dont strive so hard for an ideal that u miss the good things u already have' #the fanart and animatics and analyses are the best things to come out of this movie by far!

Post-FP2 interview with F1TV | Abu Dhabi GP, 2023

Int: We saw you quite keen at one point to get out of the pit lane and try to squeeze through Max: They have to move. I mean, they're all driving slow and I want to go out because we're all limited on time. They just keep on driving in the middle and when I try to pass they try to squeeze me in the wall, so. Yeah, bit silly.

#max verstappen #red bull racing #abu dhabi gp #myf1gifs #the annyoing thing about knowing how to gif #is that if nobody else has giffed the thing you want to see and reblog #then you gotta do it yourself before you can rest 😮‍💨 #(also never underestimate max verstappen knowing the rule book by heart and making it to work in his favor) #(also also. wHy iS hE soMad it's Fp2 aNd He'S aLreaDy woN?? #winners strive for perfection at all times #this shouldn't be such a hard concept to understand 😐) #anyway 3 sets in one day i'm going to bed now #until tmrw lads!!

BOUNPREM + FILMOGRAPHY (2019- ).

“Everyday for the past three years, I always knew that tomorrow, there would be Between Us. When the camera turned off (after filming the last scene for Between Us), I felt my heart linger in that moment. I don’t know what the goal will be now tomorrow. More than having to wait, is the fear that there’s nothing now to wait for. So, what am I waiting for? My ultimate goal for the last three years has always been Between Us.”

#bounprem #boun noppanut #prem warut #asianlgbtqdramas #asiandramasource #* #faiza gifs #i just really wanted to make this bc .... like. between us is a passion project ... yeah. but thats LITERALLY what these have been striving #towards ever since their debut. and im SO happy it could come to life! #and in between that they got to grow SO much with the different roles they played that weren't team and win #BUT. team and win is HOME for them. #and if THEY BOTH found it THIS HARD to say bye to them I .. NO lets not even GO THERE. #but also! THEY'RE GOING TO GET SO MANY MORE CHANCES TO BE SO MANY OTHER CHARACTERS! #it can be so anxiety inducing not knowing 'what not?' BUT! THEY'LL BE OKAY! #anyway! like i say! they're truly SOULMATES in EVERY SENSE of the word and i cant WAIT to see whats next for them!!!!!!! #as individual projects AND couple projects!

If I may ask, do you have a favorite illustration that you've made (and why is it your fav)?

i hope you forgive me but i have a few favourites!! i can’t choose just one I’M SORRY it’s not that i think i’m the greatest artist to ever love (i’m definitely not haha) but i like these for different reasons :)!

i really like this one when it comes to composition! i just feel like this piece idk flows very nicely and everything fits well to create a cohesive whole!

this one’s so so simple but i like how i included small details (con’s suit being too tight, ken’s being too big, the stars around logan’s “golden children” and tears by the “weak dogs”) to convey the intricacies of the roy family!

i’m just SO proud of how alys turned it this piece — character design is one of my interests and i’m definitely not the best at it but i enjoy it SO MUCH! i just love the outfit i created for her and idk i think she looks pretty cool :)

i used not to work in black and white at all and i just think this piece is SO strong when it comes to the contrast between the whites and the blacks! :)

#vic.txt #vic answers #idk if this makes sense #i just strive to be better with every artwork i do so it’s hard for me to choose favourites because i always find faults in my work! #but i try my best and i think that’s enough
