who is your favorite AA character? 👁️👁️

ziska… I hope capcom brings her back someday

#shes cool as fuck to me bc when I first played jfa I found her really frustrating to deal with #not just as Phoenix but I mean like on a personal level she is challenging because she’s so thorough #and yet I also find it fascinating that she breaks the character she’s built for herself once in a while #i 100% believe that I don’t think she would have caught on to what Phoenix was trying to do while stalling for time with engardes trial #so it’s probably a good thing edgeworth subbed in but she literally busts her ass to bring evidence to court #almost right after having a bullet extracted from her WHICH SHE ALSO PRESENTS AS EVIDENCE. thats metal as fuck ok #especially since she would technically have nothing to do with the case after edgeworth fills in and she still decided to do that anyway #maybe it was blind faith to use that evidence to win since she wasn’t there for most of the trial but still #and even if canon doesn’t give it to me I still firmly believe there’s be at least some chemistry between her and Maya #like especially if you hold it next to wrightworth that works bc there’s already a history there and majority of Phoenix and miles trying #to relearn their relationship is Phoenix coaxing out that side of Miles that he remembers from fourth grade #but with Franmaya it’s something new and they’re basically strangers to each other and one of them almost got the other convicted #and I still think that’s fascinating and it’s a damn shame thay half of the fics I find for them on ao3 is background in wrightworth fic #i did find a good one that touched on Franziska trying to win pearls approval because Pearl does hold a grudge against her #and seeing that trying to live up to perfecting even her personal relationships without getting to know Pearl to even know #why it wasn’t working feels believable when I think abt her as a character yk #myart #my art #doodles #aa #ace attorney #franziska von karma

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"

like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.

"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."

... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.

and i'd still keep writing.

i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.

i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley

"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"

and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.

it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.

you create because you're greedy.

#every time someones like ''AI will replace u" im like. u will have to fucking KILL ME #there is no replacement here bc i am not filling a position. i am just writing #and the writing is what i need to be doing #writeblr #this probably doesn't make sense bc its sooo frustrating i rarely speak it the way i want to #edited for the typo wrote it and then was late to a meeting lol #i love u people who mention my typos genuinely bc i don't always catch them!!!! :) it is doing me a genuine favor!!!#my friend says i should tell you ''thank you beta editors'' but i don't know what that means #i made her promise it isn't a wolf fanfiction thing. so if it IS a wolf thing she is DEAD to me (just kidding i love her)#hey PS PS PS ??? if ur reading this thinking what it's saying is ''i am financially capable of losing this'' ur reading it wrong #i write for free. i always have. i have worked 5-7 jobs at once to make ends meet.#i did not grow up with access or money. i did not grow up with connections or like some kind of excuse #i grew up and worked my fucking ASS OFF. and i STILL!!! wrote!!! on the side!!! because i didn't know how not to!!!#i do not write for money!!!! i write because i fuckken NEED TO #i could be in the fucking desert i could be in the fuckken tundra i could be in total darkness #and i would still be writing pretentious angsty poetry about it #im not in any way saying it's a good thing. i'm not in any way implying that they're NOT tryna kill us #i'm saying. you could take away our jobs and we could go hungry and we could suffer #and from that suffering (if i know us) we'd still fuckin make art.#i would LOVE to be able to make money doing this! i never have been able to. but i don't NEED to. i will find a way to make my life work #even if it means being miserable #but i will not give up this thing. for the whole world.

Cultivating a Fulfilling Career: Unleashing Your Potential and Finding Professional Happiness

In the pursuit of a fulfilling career, the journey is often as important as the destination. Each step you take, every choice you make, contributes to shaping your professional path. Cultivating a fulfilling career is not just about climbing the corporate ladder; it's about understanding yourself, recognizing your potential, and finding happiness in your professional journey. In this blog, we'll explore the key principles to unleash your potential and find lasting professional happiness.

1. Self-Discovery: Understand Your Passions and Strengths

Before embarking on any career journey, take the time to truly understand yourself. Identify your passions, interests, and strengths. Reflect on what activities bring you joy and make you lose track of time. This self-discovery process forms the foundation for building a career that aligns with your authentic self.

2. Set Clear Goals: Define Your Vision

Setting goals is crucial for steering your career in the right direction. Define both short-term and long-term goals that resonate with your passions and strengths. A clear vision acts as a roadmap, guiding your decisions and actions toward the career path that brings you happiness.

3. Embrace Continuous Learning: Evolve and Adapt

The modern professional landscape is dynamic and ever-evolving. Embrace a growth mindset and commit to lifelong learning. Acquiring new skills and knowledge not only enhances your employability but also keeps your enthusiasm alive. Continuous learning enables you to adapt to changing trends and seize emerging opportunities.

4. Seek Challenges: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

Challenges are stepping stones to growth and development. Don't shy away from stepping out of your comfort zone. Taking on new and unfamiliar tasks fosters personal and professional growth. Embracing challenges enhances your confidence and equips you with valuable skills that set you apart.

5. Build Meaningful Relationships: Network and Connect

Cultivating a fulfilling career isn't a solitary endeavor. Building a strong professional network can open doors to collaborations, mentorships, and opportunities. Connect with colleagues, attend industry events, and engage in online communities to expand your circle. Meaningful relationships enrich your career journey and provide different perspectives.

6. Embrace Resilience: Navigate Setbacks

No career journey is without setbacks. Embrace resilience as a key trait. Setbacks are opportunities to learn, pivot, and grow stronger. View challenges as learning experiences and use them to refine your skills and strategies. Resilience keeps you focused on your goals even during tough times.

7. Find Purpose in Your Work: Make a Meaningful Impact

A fulfilling career is often driven by a sense of purpose. Connect your work to a larger mission or cause. Understand how your contributions make a meaningful impact on your organization, community, or even the world. Finding purpose in your work adds depth and fulfillment to your professional life.

8. Balance and Well-being: Nurture Yourself

A fulfilling career isn't sustainable without personal well-being. Strive for work-life balance and prioritize self-care. Regular exercise, mindfulness practices, and spending quality time with loved ones rejuvenate your energy and maintain your enthusiasm for your career.

9. Embrace Change: Be Open to New Opportunities

As you progress in your career, your goals and priorities might evolve. Be open to reevaluating your path and exploring new opportunities. Sometimes, the most fulfilling career moves come from unexpected places. Embracing change with a positive attitude opens doors to uncharted territories.

10. Celebrate Milestones: Acknowledge Your Achievements

Amidst the pursuit of growth, take the time to celebrate your achievements. Whether they are big or small, each milestone signifies progress and effort. Acknowledging your accomplishments boosts your confidence and reminds you of how far you've come.

Conclusion

Cultivating a fulfilling career is a journey that demands self-awareness, dedication, and a willingness to adapt. By understanding your passions, setting clear goals, embracing challenges, and nurturing your well-being, you can unleash your potential and find professional happiness. Remember, a fulfilling career isn't just a destination; it's a continuous voyage of self-discovery and growth that brings you lasting joy and satisfaction.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

Autism W!

#columbo #knight rider #art #michael knight #kitt #comic #highlight reel #crossover #telebeast #there are two small easter eggs here. can you find them. they were somehow not Entirely lost when i resized these for the public #this is what i mean when i say I Draw And It's Everyone Else's Problem. look at my INCREDIBLY niche crossover comic boy #if the knight rider fandom has like 12 people in it. how many of y'all have seen columbo #this comic is for like 4 people and me and phoenix are already two of them #niche is my specialty lets be real. weird niche obscure shit and ships nobody's paid attention to yet #not to suggest this is ship art. columbo has his wife and michael has his car lmfao #stylizing real people is EXTREMELY hard btw sorry for when they get off model. its partly a 'better imperfect than never finished' situatio #cant tell you how much i redrew some of these panels. weeps #this took me 2 weeks but i think i thumbnailed it all in may and the ideas been rollin around in my head since march #is anybody good at editing. please edit michael and columbo into an image together like its a screenshot. NOT generated. edited.#it would be so cool #ive drawn columbo a lot but i haven't drawn a lot of michaels. i was learning things about his outfit AS I WAS DOING THE DAMN #COLORS ON THIS. all the lines done. it was too late to change anything. i did all the lines and colored page by page #i realized my mistakes on like page 3. 1 and 2 were already done. it was Too Late.#imagine it though. them working a case together. switching between the more serious tone of columbo vs the goofier #action antics of michael and kitt. columbo being so impressed by Modern Technology. there's more i could say but phoenix may write #more of this crossover and i don't want to spoil it :'3 #there's opportunity here though i swear. there's gold to be dug.#i like how kitt gets shading but columbo's junker peugeot doesn't. kitt looked wrong without any. columbo's car is matte and dirty #i also applied effects to this to make it look a little film-grainy and VHS like. some CRT TV vibes #the only question left is. did they put knight rider into columbo; or columbo into knight rider 🤔

All illustrations for The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Russian Edition Exclusives, Volume 5

Finally got my hands on the russian истари/Istari publication volume 5 for Mo Dao Zu Shi, so here are high resolution scans of the art exclusive to this particular edition. The art here portrays events that occur in the post-storyline extras.

Full resolution available for download here (tumblr compresses images a little)

Illustration Artist: Marina Privalova (Baoshan Karo)

[Vol. 1] - [Vol. 2] - [Vol. 3] - [Vol. 4] - [Vol. 5] (part 1)

#mdzs #mo dao zu shi #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #the founder of diabolism #mxtx mdzs #wei wuxian #illustrations #wangxian #mdzs novel #official art #I'm working on making some upscaled scans of the art from the other novels as well #tbh these aren't actually “scans”#I actually just took pics of the pages with my phone and then have to edit it and redraw some parts of the original image or add space #because pages aren't flat and I don't own a scanner unfortunately #and sometimes the words on the other side bled through the page #these are 100% faithful though #the only things I ever had to extend are environmental #I looked for an epub or pdf of this book for so long but couldn't find it anywhere #and I mean literally anywhere 😭 scoured Russian social media sites for hours and nothing #did find an interesting weird mdzs Russian translation though #weird as in the translation was not accurate at all #but it had its own little art interspersed #I think it was a fan thing rather than an official translation

they licensed his ass

my finished piece of the FWMS (official name definitely 100%) thing we started a few days ago! I had fun I hope folks had and/or continue to have fun with the sketch as well.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhsy #riz gukgak #Fuck With My Sketch #I mean it I'm gonna use that. gotta stop me if u dont wanna #doing things like this is bittersweet bc this slaps and I look at this and Im like well. I will never be able to nail this look again #I guess that's the plight of self taught art. but also it means you have to learn to let go and go look for different delights #you can't get too attached to one way of doing things. you will find many new things on ur way to make more funny bictures n such #this slaps tho Im so happy with how this came out lol. its be a long while since I last drew something in this vein #appropriate that its for riz lol he deserves it. he deserves the photoshoot pieces #funny enough this also kind of was prompted by drawfee? in one of the episodes I was binging (I thiiiink the one bg a day ep)#jacob brought up one of the artists I follow on twitter (havent been there in a decent while lol) who uses a pretty distinct #blue-on-red palette that got me to think abt teal-on-red and then this happened #funny enough I did start the piece with teal-on-red but then I shifted to blue after and was like wait I love this suddenly #and then committed lol. I should work with teal-on-red properly more but for now! we have fun! we enjoy #thats my journey thank u for listening. thank u for drawing with me if u have and come hang next time if u havent

Novice sewing pattern: Cut out shapes. Line up the little triangles on the edges. Stitch edges together. We've also included step-by-step assembly instructions with illustrations.

Novice knitting pattern: yOU MUSt uNDerstANd thE SECret cOdE CO67 (73, 87, 93) BO44 (63, 76, 90) 28 (32, 34) slip first pw repeat 7x K to end *kl (pl) 42 * until 13" (13, 13, 15) join new at 30 pl for 17 rows ssk 27 k2tog mattress lengthwise BO and sacrifice a goat to the knitting gods. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT "INSTRUCTIONS," I JUST GAVE THEM TO YOU

#knitting #no it's not a real pattern but I can't write one that makes sense because I have no freaking clue what any of that means #How do you make things that aren't basic rectangles #Why has every knitter I've asked for help just said 'patterns are easy; you just have to know how to read them' & then refused to teach me #Where do I even find a goat to sacrifice #How do I join the pattern cult #I am so confused #I've been knitting for almost a decade but I can only make scarves and potholders #I learned one (1) stitch by watching a YouTube video and none of my friends or family knit so I have no IRL resources #And nobody I meet seems to want to take the time to explain the rest to me #I taught myself to sew through trial and error but that doesn't really work with knitting because error is pretty much just... Unraveling?#Anyway sorry for the tag rant I'm just frustrated that I see pretty things I want to make but the instructions are in an alien language #And the gap between 'absolute novice' and 'intermediate' seems to be about 20 years of experience and formal instruction

Your art is so, so, so, so cute. If you ever were so inclined, I would love to see your take on Charles finally getting to eat a plate of spaghetti

Edwin wasn't too sure he liked it, but I think he's convinced now!

ko-fi

#ask ask ask #dead boy detectives #dbda #payneland #edwin x charles #lady and the tramp scene be upon ye #well i can't be original all the time!#I think Edwin made the spaghetti using magic ingredients #he worked very hard to make it taste similar to the real thing #even though none of the ingredients are something you would usually find in pasta #(charles asked what they were and edwin said he didn't want to know)#so i guess new magic item: pasta ghosts can eat lol #at first i was going to draw charles laughing because i like to think he is the type to laugh when he's nervous #but it looked kinda mean so quiet wonder it is #For this is the night #and the heavens are right #On this lovely bella notte #maybe charles put the song on trying to be funny idk

HYRULE

YOU

STOP BEING AS FAST AS EVERYONE AROUND YOU HYRULE

IT DOESNT END WELL

HYRULE

...Ya know of all the people to suddenly be forced into teamwork, I wasn't expecting it to manifest into 'Hyrule repeatedly having and carrying out the exact same thoughts as the person next to him in a destructive way'

Art by Jojo @linkeduniverse I love it I love it I love it

:)

#I hope I made sense I know that was a wierd sentence #linkeduniverse #linked universe #Lu hyrule #BUDDY #I mean I knew he didn't get along with Sky but I wasn't expecting him and legend to clash in terms of working together #also random guess but he and legend will split for the dungeon to go find their different boomerangs #<<edit: well that was wrong
