Cringetober day 16- something you were bullied for. (In this case it's the story I've been writing since I was 10/11)

My "friends" at my first school were such dicks about all my interests. In hindsight, after being diagnosed as autistic, a lot of their treatment of me was just making fun of me being neurodivergent. But hey, those friendships are in the past now, and I'm still working on The Journey. I'm still me.

(This character is a self-insert of mine btw)

(Also yes this is late I just really wanted to do this prompt in particular asjjfnfjgnsss)

Early spring snow.

Started this on the 13th of December and just finished it last night. Drawing all the plants was a literal nightmare tbh lol- it didn't help that I was having mouse troubles which are gone now (had to switch mouses temporarily until my brother fixed my normal one) but my pen pressure isn't working properly now :/ at least I know how to mimic the affect of having pen pressure but it's still annoying.

Overall I do like this piece, I put quite a lot of effort into it. There are a couple things I would've done differently but I like it.

Amongst the birch trees.

This was originally an entry for artfight's arctic fight art challenge but I finished it too late to submit it to the form. But hey, at least it gave me an excuse to draw Storm here lol (I love them so much).

Anyway on another note I would like to draw your attention to the particular trees in this piece. They're birches, which are culturally significant for Storm's home country/city-state/whatever I'll call it. This is because birch trees have always dominated the forest landscape of their islands, but also birch bark was used for writing purposes in many places across the island until disease killed off most of the birch trees. However, Storm's culture lives on a collection of smaller offshore islands away from the mainland (sort of like the Chatham islands in terms of their relation to the main one), so their birch trees were left unaffected by the plague. This left them as the main supplier of birch bark so they quickly became quite wealthy and gaining them several important allies. It also meant they were able to write a lot more things down compared to other cultures since they had better access to writing material.

Did some concepts for Thistle, the main villain of The Journey (my WIP book series). I haven't drawn her in ages so I'm still trying to work out a proper reference sheet for her (luckily her design has existed in my brain for ages). I'm probably gonna have the colouration be closer to the second one because it's closer to what my brain has been imagining her as. Anyway I have such a love-hate relationship with this woman lmao.

[fishsfailureson]

ngl I should probably do some more reblogging of my own art lmao

[fishsfailureson]

highly recommend keeping a small portrait of a historical figure who met a grisly end on your work desk. for perspective.

intro post redone yippee

[fishsfailureson]

Alright time for a new introduction post

Hello, I'm Fish, or Storm. This is my tumblr blog. I mostly post art here.

Note: If you do follow me PLEASE make sure your blog is not blank- you look like a bot if it is! I don't want to accidentally block a real person!

Asks/Dms:

Ask box status: open

DM status: restricted to people I'm following

If my ask box is closed and you do have anything you want to ask me about feel free to ask it here (or if it's in relation to a specific post that I am the original poster of, in the replies of that post).

Please do not ask me about real world issues/sensitive topics/anything personal.

General information about me:

I use they/it/thon pronouns. I prefer that people use them interchangeably.

I am a paleontology nerd. Mostly about dinosaurs, especially ones that are either birds or closely related to birds.

I write original fiction. I am quite slow about it though.

I draw using firealpaca.

I also have artfight (fishfailureson), toyhou.se and cara (both fishsfailureson).

The "S" in my username does not stand for anything.

Other information I think you should know:

Please ask me for permission before using my art. If I have made it for you it is fine to do this without asking (please give credit though). Although if it's just your phone/computer wallpaper you don't need to ask since you're not uploading it anywhere else.

If you think a post I have made/reblogged needs a certain tw please tell me (you can do it in my asks when they're open, the replies on this post, or the replies on the actual post if it's mine).

I may word things weirdly since I'm not the most articulate person out there.

Tags I think you should look at:

#my art - exactly what it sounds like- things I have drawn :3

#not my art - art reblogged from other people

#art - both of the above

#the journey book series - my main work in progress that I started when I was either 10 or 11

#0 notes flop post - shitpost tag

@artist-quests

Ok jeez I really need to replace my intro post asap

[fishsfailureson]

Being a writer is so funny because I can explain how a die-off of birch trees that happened a long time ago shaped the economies, cultures and historical records in my world but I keep on forgetting to give major characters names and shit.

[fishsfailureson]

I think being Ukranian I grew up seeing all those beautiful foxes from Soviet Cartoons and for that reason I just never really got the hype about Nick Wilde. He's like nothing to me. That, and his stance on abortion.

[fishsfailureson]

Tumblr why are you giving me ads for oak wood lmao????
