i've had this thing for a little while where i'm like. fuck! a lot of the artists i look up to have really thin, precise lineart. i need to start using thinner lines so i can get the accuracy and detail and realistic, correct anatomy, and it makes you have to get better at colors because the color has to carry the piece more when the lines give them more space between, and it's made me a lot more critical with my work because i instinctively go for big thick linework, and my usual strokes look sloppy and disconnected when i use thin lines.

and then i realized it was also making me miserable and not want to work on anything, which was really getting in the way of doing art in the first place. so i cranked that brush size back up and it just feels good and easy and flowing again, and like. yknow. there's working towards improvement and then there's stalling yourself out because you're too focused on arbitrary measures. i think i'm gonna be happy with my thick lines for a bit.

I actually find gender swapping characters really interesting (what part of their expression is dictated by gender norms vs certain events in their life vs their personal preferences that wouldn't change either way, etc.) so now I wanna draw what that would look like in my ocs except I am in pain rn so I'm forced to just lie there and be plagued by visions

considering how much you love archie sonic, i've always wondered about your thoughts on the elephant in the room that is ken penders' contributions? this is a good faith question, i genuinely like lien-da (am biased because gay) and some of the other details, but i specifically like that stuff because of what the ian flynn era did with them. what are your thoughts on his contributions to archie? seriously i wanna know, give me an essay if you feel like it

i do think ken penders gets a lot of hate. definitely isnt a great writer and has written a lot of weird things into archie. and his character writing frankly is not that good. but i still think he gets more hate than he deserves, since every sonic fan on the planet feels an obligation to shit on him. i dont know im not a big fan of some of his work but it feels a little spiteful at times! obviously ken has introduced many characters to the comic, the vast majority of which i really like. obviously bollers and flynn down the line use penders characters really well, but even in his own stories penders fleshes them out and makes them interesting. he does seem to be a genuinely good writer, but only when he cares about what hes writing and not constantly derailing to talk about some original lore or history. reading the knuckles series (and subsequent sonic backups) makes it clear he really does like writing knuckles, and a pretty good one too. its just that he also used it as a vehicle to push every concept hes ever had, even if it doesnt logically or thematically make sense or if its just in poor taste. penders's biggest writing flaw is trying to make everything really mature and emotional on a grand scale, but he doesn't seem to have the writing experience to do that. he basically wants to be the jack kirby of sonic comics (and i think has referred to himself as something similar) but he really isnt nearly as talented as kirby was. his best moments were undoubtedly on the knuckles book though. he did write knuckles and the chaotix well, but other stories on sonic just seemed like he didn't quite care. the backups he did during world tour are notable, but arent particularly good. i never really liked them. helped flesh out the world while sonic was gone which i appreciate, but they're pretty boring and the royal secret service plot is just leading up to a climax in knuckles anyways. keep bollers on sonic and penders on knuckles and things will sail smoothly, but after knuckles got cancelled i think thats when the two writers started butting heads more

I'm glad the era of comparing any guy with mildly dark hair (sometimes they even scratched that) and a white shirt to Eric is finally over 💀

[eyepatchdate]

also im soooo mad that belle, standing across from polendina, is like. 'im going to live to honor his death'. they are polar opposites and im sad about it

I feel like the purity culture fandom people need to read some Tanith Lee Night's Master deranged fucking and relationships and either calm down or go insane from the giant spider fucking scene and stay away from discussing smut forever

I feel like once you've read beautifully told smutty mythology where all the sex is ethically dubious at absolute best but richly narratively/thematically significant, you'll either Get It or you'll find people having fun with basic ass fanfic tropes beneath your concern

Well! I started remodeling the house sooo long ago (original post of it back in 2018), then got distracted and forgot it in the closet for a long time, ignored it on and off, etc... Then, finally finished the house in 2022. THEN, I forgot about the pictures I took of it in 2022, and am now posting them in 2024.. A good example of how the timeline of my side craft projects usually go lol

But, at least I do have the photos now, so... finally sharing them ! 

I just used a blue sheet as a 'sky' and a green sweater with some fake flowers on it to try to look like it was on grass lol...

(more images under the readmore)

The bedroom-

The library/potion room -

The living room area-

Then the little kitchen

The pictures are not very good, but these are the best I could find? I filmed a video of me working on the whole thing (who knows when that will be out..if it took me TWO years just to post the photos lol), so I think while I was taking the pictures, I was thinking “eh, they don’t have to be great, since I’ll show it in more detail in the video :3″, but now I kind of regret not having more actual detail shots or anything.

(sidenote: I'm pretty sure I've posted better pictures of some of the individual rooms before though too? sometime before I had added the finishing touches but when they were basically done and looked almost the same as these. so maybe it's okay that these are kind of bad lol)

I think progress on it also stalled a bit due to the pandemic starting, since like 90% of the stuff in here is random things I found at the bins (giant goodwill donation center where you dig through tubs of various items all thrown together), so once I couldn’t go out to the bins anymore, I lost my method of hunting for new items, and just had to work with whatever scraps I already had or could make myself with very few materials/tools.  The bins is a really large and always crowded place, so it's still not safe for me to go with current community transmission levels lol... who knows when I shall be able to use it to get dirt cheap crafting supplies ever again.. T o T

ANYWAY! It was a fun little project, even though of course it's a little rough around the edges and not exactly as I'd envisioned lol. As usual, I always enjoy the MAKING of things the most, yet then have no idea what to do with the finished project, since the process is what's enjoyable to me.

I think I'm going to take all the glued down furniture out of it and then repaint it, then maybe donate the base house back to the same thrift store I found it at. Like completing some sort of crafting circle of life or something lol

slowly making some progress on the doll house I’m trying to remodel!
