#💥 — Narry’s Rambles

[sixmonths0sleep]

One of the “I am Jack’s” lines I wish more people spoke about is the “I am Jack’s Inflamed Sense of Rejection” one.. that line always stood out to me compared to the others.

I do think the line has some sort of meaning that really suits his character based on what we’re told about him and really gives him a more sympathetic light.

Like, forgive me if it’s bare bones, but when I first heard it, I thought it was very interesting because it shows how TRULY alone Narrator is. His whole life, from what we know, has had him always been rejected from the places he’s supposed to feel comfort.

First, his dad left him. Then Marla showed up at his support groups. Then she started showing up at the Paper Street house. Then, after all of the time Tyler and Narrator spent together, he ditches him and leaves him feeling as if the only secure attachment he’s ever had was potentially all a fake. (Which is further suggested by “My father dumped me. Tyler dumped me.”).

Also, the fact that it’s “inflamed” suggests that that feeling of disconnection from everyone else around him has always been there, but has gotten worse and more noticeable as the story has progressed.

My poor Narrator just wants to be comforted! Someone, please!!!!!

Hey Bear remember the detailed art where it’s a place and there’s a just filled with different bears, I think it will be a great excuse to practice but idk how to approach it. Any tips?? Or just things you learn when you started drawing those

Hellow 👋

I have a feeling you asked this a while ago, but I only saw it now

If it's the case, sorry must be a tumblr glitch💥

👏a wall of text warning👏/silly

Planning

First thing I usually do is - I plan a lot beforehand

Especially if it’s a drawing with existing characters

Ironically TSP/STP drawings were easier to do for me

Even though bear megadrawings look simpler (I think?)

Basically when you already have a list of character you want to include - you just need to think where to locate them

When you just draw a lot of random characters - you need to design every single one

Which is kinda a nightmare on your brain 💥

The second type is a lot more flexible tho (you can add or remove characters at will, no count needed)

Project stages

I will use TSP + Undertale reblog chain drawing as an example

1) Collecting references - if you plan to draw existing characters, it’s better to gather all the references

Making an additional list of all characters helps too (this way you can track which character you already drawn)

2) Planning the area

Photobashing or finding a good location reference really helps here

Sadly don’t have a photobash I did for this, I deleted everything 💥

This is just an example to demonstrate things 👆

I usually just do a rough sketch on a small piece of paper

You don’t have to have it 100% planned, if characters don’t fit, you can just extend/edit the area

3) Character planning

You have to determine where your characters will be located

The common mistake I see when ppl draw detailed drawings: they draw a singular character and move on to add others

If you’re doing it digitally, this may not be a problem for you (ya know just make a character smaller or move them, problem solved)

But what I recommend doing:

Is drawing shapes where you plan to put characters in

This will help you plan out the composition more and regulate the character amount in different parts of the drawing

Also keep in mind the size of you character

I struggle with it to this day tbh

Usually the characters on the foreground are bigger then the ones on the background (this is one of the art principles used to showcase distance)

But an interesting thing you may notice when looking at illustrations like “Where’s Waldo” series

This principle often may be ignored

It’s still kinda present, but you can pretty much say many characters are -+ the same size

My theory is that it’s done to make every character equal, so the purpose to find Waldo is still challenging

+ I think to keep the whole picture harmonious

I may not know certain principles (the nitty-gritty of detailed art like this)

So keep in mind this is just my experience, do your research too >:D

4) Key characters

This one is a bit vague, but I will try to explain it the best I can

When you have a specific character, who, for example, is way bigger or has brighter colours then the rest

Special bois 🌸

You need to give them more attention

Let’s see an example

- Big creatures on da background - they were drafted first, bc they required a lot place

- Spider Barry - a special area for spider characters

- Thierry - active action, running, led to a chain of characters interacting

- Narry Grilby’s, Bearline, Pixel Alphys - themed areas for certain characters

(my apologies if I made a mistake in any character name here, let me know, I will fix it)

+ Advice for colour: try to keep them the similar saturation, so the image looks harmonious

You don’t really have to have key characters, it’s just my method that makes the process easier to plan out

5) Art part let’s gooo

This part is up to you obviously, different ppl draw differently

For me it’s usually > small draft > sketch > line art > scan > colour

Advice for my traditional artist - ya’ll need a big paper sheet

I usually work on A3 format, bc it’s easier to scan

But the bigger the paper the more detailed characters you can draw

This one as an example

Bc rookie mistake

Too many characters, not enough paper

I used A3, but looking back A2 would work way better here

I used a really thin line pen (005) and didn’t realise the consequences of that 💥

As a result scan turned out not the best quality (+ if you zoom in on the faces 🐻‍❄️🔫)

It was impressive at the time, but rrrr I wish I just bought a bigger piece of paper back then 💥

Just to illustrate the issue

On the top are pens I usually use for comics lineart, the bottom one is 005

And my finger as an obscure reference lmao 💥

As you can see the lines are REALLY DAMN THIN and everything is smol, tiny even

So just keep that in mind 👍

And for my digital fellas

🫵 Big canvas 🫵 big 🫵 the pixels will eat u 🫵

How much time it takes

Practicing concentration and patience is important 💥

This may sound silly, but it does help with finishing stuff

Projects like those require a ton of patience and focus

So just mentally prepare yourself for sitting on your desk for hours™️

From my experience I would recommend to start with small drawings with a small amount of characters

And then gradually build up to bigger amounts and more details

My first ever megadrawing was this piece

Line art took 2 weeks, colouring -+ a week I believe

This was exhausting the first time 💥

After practicing the process became faster and less tiring

The TSP x Undertale took about 4 days (but like full 4 days)

Remember doing lineart in 1 day, taking breaks just to like eat

🫵Ok don’t worry about me🫵

I have a tendency to concentrate on things for a really long periods of time, so it’s not a “🔥I WILL BURN MYSELF OUT WITH THIS PROJECT LET’S GO🔥” type of deal, this is pretty much how I am

If I enjoy a specific process I can spend an entire day doing just that, without getting tired (the only problem could be not enough movement and eye pain, my eternal enemy 👿)

But 🫵 don’t expect yourself to do the same 🫵

Start small, practice, don’t push your limits right away

Take breaks and care about yourself fellas 👏

Good luck with your projects🫡

Alright

Hope it was helpful, thank u for you question ❤️

oh and @peripalz 's narry is lightly silhouetted in the first panel's gala poster; very small cameo but i felt it was important to mention!!

im gonna ramble in the tags again!

[sixmonths0sleep]

taking notes of the fight club commentary, and apparently Brad was entertaining the idea of Tyler doing the narration for the mediation leader ?? I think???

AND HAVING THE NARRATOR PARTIALLY LIP SYNCING THE RULES ?? WHATT???

I absolutely adore those ideas I feel robbed…

[sixmonths0sleep]

on my knees rn, postal fanartists.. PLEASE draw one of the dudes with Tyler.. 🙏🙏

they would be FRIENDS!!

like.. paradise lost literally is “dude has a different version of himself in his head that becomes real”… THATS LITERALLY FIGHT CLUB CORE..

if you do I’ll love you forever thank you

[sixmonths0sleep]

thinking about the time I took a quiz for some uni thing and remembered that I got whiplash from this question

told my friends and they just went:

i love yapping about my special interests

[sixmonths0sleep]

Friendly reminder that we technically have a canon date that Aaron’s trial took place on..

Because I believe, for the Hard Evidence edition of the DVD, it’s designed to be something officially signed by Ms Venable (which, her signature? Kinda cool that they made one for her) and in the top corner, you can see an official date.

4/3/96.

And knowing that it’s an American film, it places Aaron’s trial as the 3rd of April, 1996.

Which yes, is the official US release date for the movie. Very nice touch.

[sixmonths0sleep]

yk what? no balls..

incase you don’t actually read my pinned post, i am a narrator fickin.. y’all know that right??

is that chill?? do people like that??

i post more about fickin stuff on @narrobotor i just need to be more open about it.. otherwise i just get NERVOUS!!

[sixmonths0sleep]

Sometimes, Tyler spoke for me.

I love matching profiles RAHHHH!!

[sixmonths0sleep]

discussing profiles on discord last night..

needed a new display name and one of them was low-key good af so I stole it for this blog’s user LMAO

rip just-lost-cabin-pressure.. you were good but a pain in the ass to write out

[sixmonths0sleep]

finished fight club’s novel today… it was good,,

now I can keep it on my shelf next to the dvd in pride

[sixmonths0sleep]

awe yeah

(my fight club novel AND primal fear dvd showed up on the same day)

((the dvd is region locked tho))

[sixmonths0sleep]

when it comes to exclusively posting one fandom on a tumblr page, i sometimes wonder if people see me reblog or interact and think “oh my god it’s that guy!” or not..

i do that so much with the fight club community it’s such a trippy experience to me

[sixmonths0sleep]

the favourite thing about me is that TWO of my family members have told me that “i wouldn’t look like the type of person to like fight club” like???

they always think i like light stuff because i like a lot of PG video games (eg: Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Rayman) but.. no, I LOVE Fight Club.

Same with the POSTAL games.. if they knew I liked POSTAL they’d implode..
