#the sense of style

[wordshaveteeth]

[I] mentioned two ways to improve your prose—showing a draft to someone else, and revisiting it after some time has passed—and both can allow you to catch labyrinthine syntax before inflicting it on your readers. There’s a third time-honoured trick: read the sentence aloud… Reading a draft, even in a mumble, also forces you to anticipate what your readers will be doing as they understand your prose.

Sometimes being an artist is feeling like a baker seeing a chemist making the deadliest liquid in the world and wishing you could make the deadliest liquid as well but you're a baker, not a chemist, and then you feel like your bread is worthless

#my stupid thoughts #this doesn't make any sense and that's the whole point #sometimes you see cool art and you love it and wish you could do something as cools as that #but it's simply *not* your style at all #and you end up thinking what you make is bad though it's not #it's literally just different #anyway that's me I'm the baker

Gideon Nav terrible fashion sense is so important to me babygirl has never been free to dress herself in her LIFE and i firmly believe that if she did have that freedom she would wear just. the most dogshit outfits. socks with slides. neon colors. shirts that say TITS with an arrow pointing down. outfits so bad every woman she meets is begging to take her on a department store makeover episode. outfits so bad you wonder if she got dressed in the dark upside down picking her clothing items by chaos potential. outfits so bad they wrap around to being sick as hell before winding back and punching you straight in the face

#gideon nav #the locked tomb #thinking about how her whole life she's just been. stuck in roles dictated to her. and trying to break free so bad #but babygirl is in QUICKSAND the more she reaches for freedom the more violently it is ripped away from her. #anyway. gideon goofy oitfit truthers rise up #like if she had the freedom to dress herself eventually i think she would grow to have a really nice sense of style #but she needs that freedom first. to be goofy. #to ME #trb.txt #tlt thoughts

#Okay so i think the idea is that Lautski is on a date and the terror duo were ABSOLUTELY stalking them #because of course they would #but (if they weren't already being the most obvious stalkers) they get caught #because then the seagulls descended #but listen okay #Why they attack (and how on earth they carried that weeb away) is up to you guys #because i dunno #i’m just here to make nonsense comics that give me a good chuckle #NPMD #nerdy prudes must die #for some reason i gave them different clothes sorta?is it obvi i dont have a sense of style at all #Pete Spankoffski #Stephanie Lauter #Richie Lipschitz #Ruth Fleming #Also i don’t know why but when it comes to drawing comics #i forget who anatomy is #i seriously don’t know her #esp when it comes to arms? Lord do i hate arms #Art #fanart #Also this whole comic stems from a story about seagulls stealing sausage links? #that's all i got for you #also im so sorry steph my beloved #i can not draw you at all and this is a curse i carry like a ball and chain #starkid #hatchetfield #//Komic

#my last piece kinda disappointed me just bc i feel like i can do better #idk i think my style is taking a turn and im not sure how to work w it yet. i like messy art that looks kind of childish?- #-if that makes sense #but that kind of clashes w my way of drawing and i also have like no energy or creativity left bc of school </3 so its hard to draw #at least stuff that i really like that are like fully rendered and not just doodles or character standing w white background lol #so i took inspo from an old piece of mine to make this and sort of update it and i really like it!! i think my colours are way better #in the original they were kinda washed out i think and this is a lot more striking #me when primary colours #my art #digital art #artists on tumblr #the walten files #twf #bunnyfarm #sophie walten #jack walten #felix kranken #twf spoilers #tw eyestrain

#yall im so sorry the hair makes NO sense at all #i just combined a few different braided hairstyled i liked #and still keep his mohawk style? somehow? #the last sketch is when he returns home from his adventure 🥹 #gow ragnarok #gowr #atreus #kratos #art #my art #fanart #digital art #sketches

Fire Keepers --- Since this is the third one I've made for this cross-campaign theme, I guess it's officially a series. Commence the links! Blue Healers | Wind Walkers

#critical role #critical role fanart #keyleth of the air ashari #caleb widogast #cross campaign series #i have 2 more ideas for the next one in the series but if anyone feels like a x-campaign combo makes sense feel free to shout at me #btw everybody paired up together are leveled up or down to be at the same level #and i try to match the designing style so they might look even more different #but i try to stick to the official sources i.e campaign art comic origins etc as much as possible #anyway keyleth's clothes seem to change colors like the leaves over the seasons the older she gets? #which is so cool <3 #art du chat

To a literate reader, a crisp sentence, an arresting metaphor, a witty aside, an elegant turn of phrase are among life’s greatest pleasures.

anyway the wedding was sooooo pretty it was like a casual farm kinda theme? really cute. at the little historic park in our hometown. my cousin looked like a gd princess she was so pretty!!!! and I didn't have to hide in the bathroom lol I just sat with mom for most of the night while dad kidnapped various grand-nephews and nieces and brought them over to meet us.

we left early bc mom was getting worn out and also all of us city slickers forgot that in a park under the trees with wind and shit it's way colder than indoors in a well insulated home and didn't bring coats WHOOPS

but yeah, it was fun, everything was great, also my OTHER cousin apparently married his gf in a small private ceremony last weekend and goddamn!! everyone getting married!!! I swore I wouldn't feel like I missed the relationship train but!!!!!! I do!!!!! Pls just manifest my perfect platonic partner who I can marry For Tax Purposes and live on a farm with for the rest of eternity OTL

#anyway im just thinking of this bc im reading gtn but my cousin is totally the coronabeth to my ianthe LMAO #she got the body. the hair. the personality. the charm #the sense of style #and im like. rectangular. thin hair a shade lighter #vaguely bitter about everything
