VARGASTOBER - day 11 : yarn

" do you remember . . . when i took one of those skeins of yarn that gran keeps lying around , and i decided to make our entire room a huge spider web ? so i looped all this yarn everywhere , all over the chairs and beds and tables and doorknobs until you couldn't go anywhere unless you were crawling ? " a smile and edgar wondered for a moment that if scriabin did have a creative streak in him , how could that be expressed ? how else could he express it when he had no body of his own ? work to create a past , a life that he never and would never have , maybe even this whole time . . .

Quick re-do of a 4 year old piece

#to test my abilities... no jk #I mean kind of lol #I WANTED To test my abilities but then I couldnt think of anything #so then I just redid an older piece #I remembered the old one started black and white and then I did effects over it so I did that again #cause I just wanted to play around with lighting #and I think its pretty obvious how much I've improved #I also only spent like an hour on the second one #wasnt trying to make anything amazing here #just trying t make something that reminds myself how growth can look and feel #important stuff to do as an artist #I'm still sick btw lol #I love how when youre losing your voice everyone goes 'wow you sound terrible'#I get why. I sound terrible. but its so fucking funny like. culturally #like holy shit what the fuck is wrong with you !#but its polite and empathetic #I havent been getting work done on account of is sick #actually not entirely true #I did a good bit of work for we were legion and some for TTA too #but it was just no drawing work #all writing work #which theres just a lot more of to for wwl than for tta #anyways #we were legion #zagan #art redo #art improvement #spent easily twice as long on the original thats a skill upgrade roight there

day 2 - energy / life / green

#alek art #lego ninjago #ninjago #ninjago inktober 2024 #morro wu #sensei wu #tw blood #cw blood #(ask to tag)#2024 #was very unsure how to tag this piece... i definitely won't be able to do as many of these as i'd like (joints)#but its still something to look forward to. gonna do which ones speak to me 🔥#yes this is based of jesus and the virgin mary. why? not entirely sure. not meant to be any religious connections here #just the loss of a child and destinies. maybe there is a religious connection here #ft my very inconsistent young wu design. also morro is around 15 here ? i refuse to draw a child (its hard) and hes not himself in s5 #thinking about how thats wu's son... i think of wu and get very sad. so many losses so soon after each other. mostly preventable.#the ribbon here is a hc of mine. after losing garm he started wearing purple to honor him. timeline strangeness i know #not meant to be any set period of time. just overall loss #originally was going to draw IIoyd for this one but i had this idea and went swinging #typed out most of these tags before acfually finishing the drawing oops #the colors are a little strange (blue light filter when i catch you) uhm .. also wu's hat kicked my ass #THIS TOOK SEVEN HOURS !!! which is longer than usual oops

My number one tip for new Tumblr artists, or for artists in general:

‼️POST THAT WIP‼️

People fucking love sketches, people love loose and messy art, people love getting to see your lines before colour!!

WIPs often do just as well, if not better than an intricately rendered piece. You have nothing to lose by sharing that WIP!

#art tips #artists on tumblr #i used to worry that if i shared a WIP people would be less likely to interact with the finished piece #but that hasn't been the case at all #the only thing you lose out on by not sharing WIPs is the engagement sharing that WIP would get you #if you're still worried just leave a day between posting the WIP and the finished thing #so that you're not posting them back to back #just make sure that when you do share a WIP you do so at a point where the piece looks attractive #and then either post it as is or crop it in a tasteful way that makes people excited to see the rest!#and yeah sometimes a sketch won't do well but the same can be said for finished pieces #that's just how it goes sometimes <3

#my art #furry art #blood cw #i guess. just in case. i dont rrrrreally know how to tag this art haha its just personal emotions #i'm REALLY pleased with it as a digital collage piece. one of my fav mediums to work in #textures as always from unsplash as is my usual gameplan for sourcing them #if you want the meaning behind this piece its fairly simple #just a commentary on feelings of how a fight for freedom and self governance always hurts and is hard but you have to do it anyway #you will bite your leg and bleed to sever the string binding you but you will heal free rather than living this half life #this is about my own inner turmoil of struggling between the want to transition and the knowlege of how much of my current network i will #lose and how much my life will change in ways that will hurt.#it is also about some other personal feelings along these lines of conflicts of staying unhurt but not free or hurting but gaining freedom #but i dont really feel like getting into much more. i hope u enjoy the art tho #and please like. dont be a dick? about it? its the first piece ive been physically well enough to do in a while #so if you dont like it or you think its embarrasing or you want to make jokes just like. maybe dont? thank youuuuuu

sometimes i think about daigo interacting with the mundane and thinking about mine and i throw up a little bit ngl

#snap chats #yk what i mean. By Design the first thought that should come to mind with mine is money and expensive things #but instead of seeing expensive watches or flashy cars and thinking of mine i hope daigo thinks about how he liked his coffee #maybe daigo sees an interesting piece of art and wonders what mine wouldve thought of it #maybe daigo tries to read a little more on his downtime- what if mine always had a book on his desk when he'd visit #does daigo listen to classical music more nowadays ? maybe he stares at pianos a little too long now when he spots them #just. remembering the human aspects of mine instead of him being just a piggy bank #it's easy to do when he was/is also in a position where he was only valued for his money or authority/relation to authority #he's haunted! allegedly. in my opinion. haunted by anything and everything that reminds him of him #theres a time and place to be haunted but work hours is not it. until a mfer come into your room and be like #'lol remember that clan.that went under after its patriarch killed himself' and then you have fight the demons not to kill someone #anyway. im gonna sit on a fic of this for nine years while i work good bye everyone #i love it when daigos haunted its so rude #i try not to imagine daigo as solely a grieving widow for until the end of time. however he can have his moments #i think he's allowed to be melancholy about losing his ''''''''best friend''''''' sometimes

Thinking about art pieces of mothers holding their dead/dying children.

In order from left-top: Woman with Dead Child and Pietà(Mother with her Dead Son) — Käthe Kollwitz // Pietà-Michelangelo // The Family of Street Acrobats; The Injured Child(1874)- Gustave Doré

#what do you call a parent who loses their child?#what word could possibly encapsulate that immensurate grief?#i love how art communicates the inexplicable. and justly compensates for where language falls short.#there is no word for parents grieving their children. because no word could ever grapple #the incalculable devestation of that grief. but I think these pieces capture that profound sadness without leaving any of it #käthe kollwitz #gustave doré #art

#i think it's a little fucked up but a little funny that my mental state is currently at such a bad point where it's like.#any stress sends me into emotionally constipated panic. where it doesn't really show through for the most part. for the most part i seem ok.#and then if you crack me just even a little bit it's like that one modern art piece can't help myself #where im trying my best to juggle and maintain the facade of being fine but you can tell im tired and one deviation away from crumbling down #but can i cry? haha no. instead i just panic. everything sends me into silent panic. and i just think about really dramatic responses.#i hold my breath and worry that if i do anything wrong everything I've worked so so hard for will just come toppling down #because it has before. something you've poured your heart into. something you've cared so much about. can just be. so. out of your control #and you lose your voice and you lose your agency and you lose your will to fight and you lose a little bit of yourself #I don't know if i will ever get it back. it's been a while. I don't know if i can ever regain my confidence back. i miss who i was sometimes #i used to be warm. i used to be sure of myself. i used to carry hope around like a small star. i miss her. the person i was.#someone who could light up a room without trying so hard. someone who could make others smile without giving it too much thought.#someone who could make others feel good about being there and being alive. i barely feel good about myself these days sometimes. somehow.#I don't know how to be that girl anymore. everything feels a little forced. it shouldn't have to feel this hard. it used to feel natural.#i have moments where i feel like myself again. happy. confident. and then im brought back to reality almost immediately.#i feel guilty for feeling good. i feel guilty for being confident. and then i go hating myself again. it does weigh on me. what she said.#im sorry that i used to like myself. im sorry it made you feel bad about yourself. see. i hate myself now. do you forgive me now? hehe #I'll get over it one day. I'll get over it soon. i hate feeling like this. the overwhelming ego death. it makes me feel really shitty.#i hate this hehe i want to run away so badly but i know running away never solves anything you come back and the problem is still there #so i will go through it and i will fail and i will fall and i will stumble and hurt myself and feel humiliated and terrible throughout #but it will be fine. but I'll get through it and realize it wasn't that bad. I'll get through it and try again and again until i get there.#i need to stop seeking validation from people who won't give it. stop seeking comfort from people who won't give it.#stop hanging with people who make me feel worse. and stuff like that. it's like quitting an addiction hhhh i don't get it #i have friends who treat me really well. i have friends who i love and love me a lot.#i just can't quit certain people. part of it is bc im scared of change and part of it is bc i don't want to be more reliant on others #especially the people i do really care about and love and who love me bc. i think. if i have one more abandonment. i will actually. mm.#i think i would fully lose my ability to love new people haha like. romantically and platonically. haha.#but anyway that's the trauma speaking i will overcome it I won't let it control how i live haha #i will be ok i will be ok spring will be here eventually it's just the seasonal stuff #tw health #delete later

wish i could stop losing stuff irretrievably. some hardware error emptied out my recycle bin a couple days earlier. just to shit on a day i'd spent being genuinely happy about the art i create. i guess. i'm tired of compromises, sick of lying that "it wasn't that important anyway", and throwing up at "oh well, can't be helped".

and yet. and yet. despite every pain, both major and minor, the love is there. the love is still there. guess i've just somehow miraculously hit that point (or gone past it a long time ago) where every grievance beyond a certain amount hurts an unspeakable amount more than it should. and it stacks. probably went overboard a while back. don't know when.

still, i adore my project. still got someone in whose arms i feel safe. hope i'll get out someday. hope i'll get a win.

#i truly do believe that if i get the rest of my work back‚ the important bits #then everything else is gonna be all fine. negligible losses. one more pain on the road to victory.#i learned what digital corpses look like yesterday. zeroes where bs and 4s and Hs should be. it sits badly in my gut. it is difficult to #have hope.#and yet #and yet i will never lose mine until it's all truly over #i'm hoping for a win. it'll be the biggest win of my life at this point. everything else can go to hell at that point.#just give me the news‚ doc. give me the tiebreaker. tell me to live or to despair.#got things to live for beyond that one piece of art i've made. got a few of them‚ in fact.#yet a life without my art seems as bleak as they come. don't know what to look for beyond that. just let me win this one time.#seven years of constant pain is more than enough no matter how you slice it. if i'm not given closure here‚ for this one thing‚ then i'll #give it to myself. will be cruel. will be tough. think it holds less pain still.#but i don't want it. don't wanna think about it. crying as i write this. don't wanna face the music. hate how it hinges on that. are all #artists like this‚ or is it just me who is insane?#i've moved on with the help of my art. without my art‚ i can't move on. can't move on from the lack of moving on‚ either. just loss after #loss after loss. but maybe. maybe not. if i win‚ i'll just cuss out this pain i'm going through right now for the rest of my days and #eventually laugh about it. losses will become scars on living tissue. emphasize on l i v i n g tissue. living‚ as in can create‚ can #continue to love‚ can continue to adore and to help and to play and to smile and all sorts of things. can do all that good stuff that makes #a life worth livin'.#so. dunno if i'm transmitting. dunno if anyone's listening. but i'm hoping for contact.#logs #black blank blah-blah-blah

my fav freak girl

i was going to put the other alts under the cut but instead you get a link because i am NOT figuring this out again

#haunted ecosystem #apparition sketchbook #oc: lavius elyria #project: terralith #flags used: gnc. lavenian. queerfeminine.#<- basically all placeholders because i did NOT feel like digging and its difficult ok :( he does not fit in boxes well #TECHNICALLY mortis is also here. and jacie too. but im not tagging them #DO YOU GUYS SEE WHY I WANTED TO DISTINGUISH HER NOW...#she loses her main resemblance to regular lavius after the void incident.#also i swear i sWEAR she has two arms. pleading on my knees #there are so many moving parts in swapping the ref pieces around. you have to understand. it was hell #next i need to make a pfp for her (and zenith) and then im. good. imgonna do a ref for mortis probably then call it good enough.#i just wanted to participate in art fight not spend several weeks figuring out how to make a character ref #i think i may also do a ref for jacie but thats mostly because theyre. important to me.#ALSO TECHNICALLY the inspiration text should be different for pre-void but im done. i am DONE. i am not touching this anymore

i started drawing to pass the time on the train and i blacked out and when i came to days later there was some kind of dorky klapollo nonsenseon my screen??

is he, you know,

#ace attorney #klapollo #klavier gavin #apollo justice #aa4 #sorry about quality btw you know tumblr #my art #this is by far my favorite klapollo piece i’ve done :) it’s crazy how once you draw the same thing many times you get better at it #amazing #this started as posing/figure practice with dancing poses and i decided to klapolloize it but now i’m thinking about an au….#like what if they’re super competitive rival dancers who are just a little bit obsessed with each other #and they lose their original partners for some reason and are forced to team up but they’ve spent so long watching each other #they actually really understand and flow with the others movements and soon they’re perfect partners #and of course they’re better off working together than as opponents #and. you know. they fall in love. ofc.#brb gonna think about this for a million years #also these are not ballroom poses 😭😭 just a disclaimer #these poses are silly losers dancing like idiots (which is what i was thinking when i was drawing tbf)#maybe i’ll come back and do some real ballroom art another time #also do you like their outfits 🥺 i love the outfits

Do you ever look over the drawing you've been working on and notice small details you forgot about but immediately fall in love with or is that just me?..

#I'm going on a cruise tomorrow and I'm sad because that means 4 days without tumblr #meaning 4 days before i can upload this piece assuming i finish it on the cruise...#I'm also extremely worried I'll lose my Duolingo streak... don't judge me I've kept that thing for over a year!#i fucking hate drawing heads too #do you know how many times I've wanted to say fuck it #you have a triangle for a head now? way to many #art #art thoughts #art tumblr #yalcy talks
