#I can draw for the sake of drawing

I think the more I try and focus on having “perfect anatomy” the more I end up resenting what I create.
I get so hung up on whether or not things look “right” or “correct” and yeah, don’t get me wrong, it’s good to understand anatomy and how the body works. But it’s not everything.
When I just draw for the sake of drawing, focusing more on broad shapes and the flow of the drawing rather than whether or not that arm looks just right, or that torso lines up perfectly with the hips, I end up liking what I create a lot more.
Again, don’t get me wrong, practicing anatomy, understanding anatomy, and knowing the way muscles/bones twist and contort is good, in general it does make things better.
But if you’re drawing for the sake of being “perfect” or “correct”, it strips all the fun out of it. At least for me
#orange posts#this is literally me just trying to rationalize and walk myself through art block#or at the very least give myself a pat on the back#I think it’s really important to remember that you don’t have to perfect everything you do#especially when it comes to art#it’s subjective! it’s supposed to be fun! it’s what you make out of it!#drawing that little freak (sona) last night really helped me realize I don’t have to be ‘perfect’#I can draw for the sake of drawing#not do all the fancy line art#or tiny little details#I can just#draw a shadow freak in oversized clothes and that’s okay!#n e way#a reminder to all my fellow artists#have fun and love what you do#even if it’s not ‘perfect’

All FNAF protagonists are artists.. and traumatized..
#myart#chloesimagination#comic#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#fnaf fanart#michael afton#fnaf oswald#into the pit#fnaf 3#fnaf 4#nightmare fredbear#pit Bonnie#I love all of Oswald’s little drawings throughout ITP#they are so endearing and honestly well done#THE theme of FNAF protagonists being artists is my favourite#Michael Abby Gregory and now Oswald#wanted to draw a lil something of Michael and Oswald sharing doodles#cause Oswald’s stuff reminds me of the survival logbook#Oswald actually does draw the nightmares along with pit Bonnie#so it’s obvious Michael and Oswald are having similar nightmares#I like to think Michael try and look on the bright side#for Oswald’s sake#seeing he knows how scary this can be#its better to know you aren’t alone during it

Antinous sketches
I will redesign him a bit for Wisdom saga because his old design looked too much like Kaeya from genshin impact. Still keeping the eyepatch though, that's my favorite part of his design.
For his design I was mostly aiming for this intimidating, vain, kind of brute hunter aesthetic. I'm not really used to drawing manly men so he'll be quite the challenge to animate.
#I HATE DRAWING MUSCLES SO MUCH#my comfort zone in art is literally the complete opposite of manly big strong guys#but if I made him a twink just for my own sake I would never forgive myself#whatever if I managed to animate that design of Scylla I can do anything#epic the musical#digital art#art#epic: the musical#greek myths#epic the musical fanart

The 2D vs 3D contrast of the sonic and shadow generation hubworlds cracks me up the more I think about it
Bonus:
#behold a 2am shitpost we're so back#sxsg#sonic x shadow generations#sxsg spoilers#sonic x shadow generations spoilers#which I'll tag just to be safe lol#this comic comes purely from the fact I was trying to play both games at the same time#swapping between them after each boss#and that really does highlight the difference pretty starkly lol#shadow the hedgehog#omega e123#my art#doodles#comic#still haven't quite figured out how to draw these guys but we're gettin there#to my knowledge shadow doesn't have a holographic map on him but let's pretend for the sake of giving him something to look at#he's a weird pseudo sci-fi guy he can have one as a treat#edit: you saw this before I came back and added in omega's symbol no you didn't

The musical episode.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangyao#nie mingjue#Remember jin guangyao: If you do any treachery you will face the wrath of five horses.#When are the horses going to come into play? You'll see.#s2.ep8 had beautiful music... I listened to it on loop while drawing!#Good music to chill out to before you fly into a rage.#This episode really cements how JGY's mind works - It is a matter of long-term outcomes at the sake of nearly everything else.#Morals do not matter to him if the outcome is more favourable.#and at the center of it all - he has learned that the only person he can truly trust is himself.#In turn - the only person his actions benefit are himself.#He will do anything and everything it takes to reach a position of power - not just for the power. But because it means safety.#Because it was something he was denied and the idea of not having control in his life again is unforgivable.#'Happiness' isn't a goal. We are looking at someone still stuck at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.#Everything and everyone is a piece in a game. Bonds and friendships are assets. People are dispensable.#He wants to climb for the sake of climbing. He wants praise and recognition because he feels it is deserved. It's all so hollow.#We could go deeper into his psyche on this.#But these are also tags under a comic in which 'evil penis music' is the punchline.

#hlvrai#half live vr but the ai is self aware#gordon freeman#gordon feetman#so idk if theres any like ‘metastory’ to there being a player or if its literally just supposed to be wayne#but i thought it would be kinda interesting for the player to be his own guy#cause like to me#a big part of it that makes it fun is that gordon has like#no actual stakes#dude is getting pissed for the sake of it#he knows its a game and is just freaking out at the ai being so alive u know#now since i cant remember if theres some kind of canon or metastory to the player you can completely decide for yourself why hes playing#or how he got the game#is he just some guy? is it an experiment? is it for his job? who knows!#hes The Player#also if ur wondering why his design is so similar to gordons#its cause i didnt wanna stray into the unrecognizable lmao#also. i really really really didnt wanna draw the fucking suit#and yes thats benrey on the tamagotchi#i think it would be very funny if he could cart them all around in tamagotchis#sorry for long tags

#tadc#the amazing digital circus#tadc jax#jax#tadc ragatha#ragatha#bunnydoll#I need to pathetically explain myself here and say this was just one of those go to bed thoughts I've had for a while.#It was an idea for the sake of daydreaming and I never intended to ever draw it but then it happened and I got carried away.#I'd honestly call this a bit of a un-headcanon lmao#None of us know at this point so any one of them could be close or not close to losing it.#Saying that I feel Jax seems like one of the more stable of the group and out of the both of them Ragatha is closer to abstraction if at al#But it's interesting to think if he actually isn't to some degree and there's more behind that grin I can't lie#And I wouldn't portray abstraction like this either I'd go about it differently. again just one of those fleeting throw-away thoughts#It ends ambiguously but you can decide what you want. I know how it ends.#I just got really into portraying the mood or cinematics without any dialogue.

merry Christmas klancers 🎅
#I did the whole happy holidays art and I was like yayyyy I’m done I did my Xmas art#but um everyone looked like they were having so much fun w Xmas klance doodles I had to get in#klance#Voltron#vld#art#my art#Keith kogane#Lance McClain#I scheduled this at 2am but now it’s out im no longer abt to pass out I can dissertate in the tags#anyway I think they’d both be pretty awful cooks#like realistically a klance cookie making situation would be like#both of them oversold their cookie making skills and ended up in a contest (hunks the judge) for who could make them best#but they’d both suck. burnt salty raw awful etc etc#and they’d be beefing so hard like they’d take it so seriously#but for the sake of me wanting to draw cute Xmas art#let’s just say Lance is the slightly less horrendous cook and can make some cookies#there is no world I can reconcile Keith with the kitchen#I just know that boy feeds off instant noodles and unseasoned jerky

keep thinking about Hal being truly convinced that Bruce is a vampire.
like he's somehow always gone before dawn, he disappears with inhuman swiftness, along with his quick reflexes, what appears to be super strength, and the overall dark and broodiness, surely there's no other explanation.
so at some point Bruce is compromised by some unknown ailment on a mission with Hal, it leaves him weak, sweaty and shaky. And Hal is wracking his brain trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with him and how to help, and then it clicks.
Bats is hungry.
They've been on this mission for a while and not once has Hal seen him eat or drink anything, (in fact he's never seen Bruce do either of those things at all, further feeding into the vampire theory of course...). Hal figures being the stoic altruistic asshat that he is, he won't suck it up and admit he's starving and subject Hal to his blood-sucking needs.
mind made up, Hal tugs at the neckline of his suit so it's more accessible for Bruce,
H: look Bruce, I know this is probably the last thing you want to do, but from the looks of it your body really needs it, so would you drop the selfless act and take it already?
B, enraged: ...Hal, are you seriously propositioning me right now?
H: ?????????
(B: why was your first thought to offer your neck, you realize your arms would've worked just as well, and more importantly they're easier to access-
H: interesting how you know the most convenient way to bite someone...)
#i plan to draw this but just incase i dont#idk if the ring can detect humans but if it can just ignore it for my sake#batlantern#hal jordan#bruce wayne

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE KNIGHT OF DAWN SPIRIT IS STUCK IN A RING
Please where does it say that I must know!!!!!!!
calling him "stuck" was mostly a joke (and I don't think he's really a floating little ghostie or anything, more like...just some kind of remnant?) but when he showed up at the end of chapter 5, I read it as his spirit being in/attached somehow to the ring, and I think the implication was meant to be that he (or what was left of him) was the one guiding Silver through Lilia's memories. that may be leaning a little too hard into my personal interpretation, but that's what I thought we were supposed to get out of it! 🤷
(now watch as they turn directly to the camera in the next update to explain that I've misunderstood everything and the ring is really a tiny little robot that we all must shrink down into to pilot) (which would actually be amazing, can we have that please)
#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#joseimuke games are serious business#this is also how i have reconciled with myself why lilia's dream was like#'this world is based off of his memories and only exists around him so we must stay close to him at all times'#(smash cut to the knight on the other side of the country having conversations that lilia couldn't possibly know about)#i know the real answer is cheating for the sake of the narrative#(plus lilia's dream was kinda special and un-malleusified until malleus found him at the end)#and they've since established that dreams can extend really far if your imagination is good enough#but i think it also works to say that we got some of the knight's memories in there too since his spirit was there#and. y'know. ~*magic*~#thank you for coming to my ted talk about the intricate headcanon i have constructed around a minor plot point#for my next topic i (trips and spills note cards everywhere)#(the note cards are just drawings of hearts with meleanor's name written in them)

hello fanartist. in front of you is a character who is canonically fat, and mentioned to be fat in the media. you have 30 seconds to explain to me why you've drawn them skinny and box shaped without saying "its my style," "i don't know how to draw fat people," or "i didn't know they were fat" before i push you onto the landmine behind you. the timer starts now.
#SORRY DIALTOWN ARTISTS MAKR ME WANNA RIP MY HAIR OUT#okay you dont draw the fanonly character fat. thats fine i dont care#okay you dont draw the fandom-applied fat character who isnt fat in canon as skinny. thats also okay.#WHY WONT YOU DRAW THE FAT CHARACTER FT#WHY ARE THEY SOSKINY#ITS RIGHT NEXT TO THE SORITE!!!!! YOU CAN SEE IT!!!!! FOR FUVKS SAKE!!!!#THEY'RE LITERALLY CALLED FAT#THEY'RE LITERALLY FST!!!!!!!#FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.#YOU PEOPLE#sorry i heart dialtown but this fanart makes me wanna pull my eyeballs out and use them s martini olives.#loser_txt.png

Toothless's little face fell incredulously. "What do you mean, you don't know who I am?
“I’m T-t-toothless."
#httyd books#how to train your dragon#hiccup the third#toothless#hiccup horrendous haddock the third#book!hiccup#book!toothless#how to fight a dragon’s fury#my art#still not entirely satisfied with how this one turned out#Hiccup seems a bit too young? Though he was only 14 then#and not battle-worned enough (like the way he was during book 12)#but charcoal pencils can be SO hard to control. I didn’t want to risk messing up the drawing#and I still cannot draw freckles for Thor’s sake.#anyways I’m rather satisfied with Toothless here#btw I sort of experimented with his wings here(?)#drawing them like the books did#and headcanoning them as rib-derived wings(?)
