Screenshotted from BlueSky

Needed this one on tumblr, even if it's just to show my friends bc it made me laugh

(Red is also on Tumblr as @comicaurora, so I hope that this is okay with her! If not I'll take it down ofc)

I whittled again! Mostly small things to get back into it. I cut a few 1x1x2 inch blocks following the Linker series. Only to then notice that my knife is big enough to make it a bit of a hassle, but we lived through it (　＾▽＾)

In chronological order:

The Linker bear. Needed something relatively simple to get back into whittling and if anyone asks, he was meant to be an amputee. I was kind of frustrated at the time due to the aforementioned problems, but he's really grown on me.

Tiny Nijntje/Miffy, whom I whittled for a friend I met for the first time this year! The photo is from my friend, as I forgot to take one before gifting it xD

A bit more complex here, the Conductor from A Hat In Time. Technically not fully finished, as I still want to add the gold trim to the hat, but I'd need a fine gold pen and so that'll probably be a next year thing. Whittled for another friend, gotta see when I meet them to gift it ( *・ω・)ノ

Don't recognize this guy? Then you obviously haven't seen @comicaurora 's latest Journey to the West. This is Sun Wukong, disguised as a messenger demon, delighted at his plan working. That drawing and the one of Jupiter's Rival being surprised that Sun Wukong has the same artifact absolutely sent me! I had to stop the video both times because I was laughing so hard xD

This was probably the most technically challenging whittle of all of them. My knife is curved, so v-cuts are weird and because it's also quite wide, the space between the horns needed some creative solutions. Painting was also kinda weird, since it's really hard to give a 3D object outlines that look decent from more than exactly one angle. I'm still quite happy with him though ( ´^ω^)

I still have quite a few small blocks to get through, we'll see what I'll do with those. These were all basswood, which is nice to carve. I also have bigger blocks of cherry and that is still quite a challenge for my noodly wrists xD

@comicaurora

Over-all great video on many levels, thanks for sharing such a cool adventure. However. All I can really think to comment on was Red's oh so lovely assistant.

Thank you for not re-shooting that footage. What a gift to the viewers. (Also, she kept going like a champ XD)

@comicaurora my knife space crab came today and I love it!

(I was gonna wait for one with my sun sign, but,

I just watched a video with the single best take on the whole "Should Batman kill the Joker debate"

No, of course not. Cause that's not his job or responsibility, it's Gotham City's job to make sure the bastard doesn't keep getting out and murdering people.

Props to OSP, that's a brilliant and simple answer to a really annoying debate (It's the video on Heroic Sacrifices)

[altrockingchair]

He just like me fr

[tabsters]

you know what time of year it is!!!

osp released their annual journey to the west video, and so here is every single frame with the "wukong breaks down a wall and makes someone spit out their tea" gag

@mythicalmagical-monkeyman @hyperfixation-tangentopia @professionalwaterbender

interestingly enough, the latest frame has the format switched

also take a picture of a river of ao lie piss (which is my new laptop wallpaper)

I think i found the reason why i like channels like OSP and SFTH so much. The dynamics feel more authentic and trustworthy.

There's this cute wlw couple on insta who reel i occasionally watch, but i dont want to follow them, put comments or participate in their polls because them like other family and couple bloggers on the internet have a sheen of displaying their dynamics for views. I feel love and affection should be more subtle that it influence the way we, the audience view the performers. These bloggers may be genuine but I don't trust entirely what goes bts because they eventually are basically saying, 'this is us. look how cool we are and how in love we are. what dress should i wear for my date?'

It's fine if blogging is a fun thing you like to do that's integral to your life but at some point, if its solely about your life, it gets weird.

Overly Sarcastic Productions and Shoot from the Hip both started in the early 2010s when a couple of highschoolers and drunk collegemates respectively decided to produce something they loved.

OSP started off as a Shakespearean highschool project meant to spite their english teacher. But Red got so good at narrating and animating her production that it became a significant channel now. It wouldn't be the same hadn't her bestie Blue try to freebie on channel to infodump his special interests. You can feel the affection and love between the two as you watch a single video of theirs together.

SFTH is probably the healthiest masculine media I've ever come across in my life. It's so amazing to see a small improv group to grow to this size within a span of 2 yres after struggling for another 10. The craft wouldn't have the same magic hadn't they all been comfortable with each other and been friends for over a decade.

THeir genuine affection and love spills over into the content they are actually supposed to be making that it makes their craft sweeter and even more special than any friend or couple blogs on the internet ever could

Old art again. Aaaagh

[witch-of-the-world]

Thank you to OSP for the fact that whenever I hear or read the word "flayed/flaying" my brain now immediately goes "HOUSEHOLD chores? The man has no SKIN!"

Some more :) @comicaurora
