#I learned something too though

Some photos from my sailing trip from last weekend. The weather was alright at the sea, although the winds were not in our favor (but there were thunderstorms on land at the time, so I can't complain when it was otherwise so nice).
Since we had no passengers on this trip, I spent most of the time teaching newer crew mates various skills from navigation and steering to packing the sails on the bowsprit. Things that a deckhand won't have the time to learn on a busy passenger trip.
I still feel like I JUST started in the crew, but being asked for advice and getting to teach these skills to others reminds me that I've been sailing this ship for 8 years and actually know some stuff by now. xD
Makes me happy when I can be helpful. ^^
#the new crew mates were thanking me after the trip and saying they've never learned this much#so I must have done something right#one of them gave me a hug when I left the ship#it was a nice trip even if we didn't get to actually sail much#sailing#ship#life at the sea#JeMiChi sailing#there is so much to learn that I find it hard to consider myself experienced#but this made me feel like I was#I learned something too though#asked the captain to show me how to check the engine room#he was happy to teach me as well#and asked me if there was anything else I wanted to learn#but I couldn't think of anything at the time#at least anything we could do without making huge changes in our plans#like if we'd practice emergency anchoring

couldnt draw my thang for mid-autumn so treated myself to a calne redesign instead
#calne ca#hatsune miku#VOCALOID#cw: body horror#<- And I Fucking Mean That We Are Not Fucking Around Today#well we are. as in I drew this as a fuckaround treat for myself#but the body horror tag is the most warranted its ever been on this blog#ask to tag#I am as ever on my journey to make calne ca Worse. her OG version is too cool. even the crab ver is too cool#I need her to be worse to look at. I am also getting myself into to mood to test my hand at boarding a pmv for my friend's cover#I think my thought for this was ''I should try and give her a more insectoid bodyplan''#which in this mostly means gently three-part body and six limbs (my favourite amount of limbs to draw rn)#actually almost gave her eight but didnt like how that silhouette came out so I mermaided her uh. abdomen I guess#though maybe next time I do this I should push that idea more. the head and torso are still very distinct for one unified part#I feel like one of my old attempts was onto something with like. a more horizontal body plan... well! live and learn etc#happy late mid autumn I guess. I should play with touys about it... I miss model kits. mayhaps...

Ghouls night out
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Scopophobia#Don't be mean Lan Wangji - the dead girl aesthetic is a curated one. Support women's rights to look dead!#I have been waiting for this scene for ages...the ghost girl entourage is such a good look for WWX.#And by gods does the audio drama actually do something interesting with one of them.#Namely that we actually get to see WWX talk with them and learn about who they were and what they left behind.#I love necromancer characters but it's way too common for them to be like “Go! Ghost no.145!” like they're a pokemon#and not...you know...someone who had a whole life that they left behind.#I love me a necromancer who has an awareness to whose soul/body they are using. It adds a lot of flavour!#MDZS is a little hit or miss with this. I think the fans do a lot of the work with making Mo Xuanyu a bigger character.#Yi City has this in spades. Even though we don't individually get character backstories#We get many painful reminders about how these 'corpses' were people.#We also get a few lines about how WWX used whatever corpses he could get his hands on (including grandparents - Woof!)#MDZS often (but not always) likes to remind us that every sacrifice and every ghost was a person.#It is so close to nailing the landing regarding the deconstruction of the necromancer character.#Anyhow. You may have noticed the uptick in quality in the last two comics. Rule of three means next one is going to be a treat B*)#See you all very soon!

Doing master studies the only way I know how: Stealing them and making them my guys.
(Barberini Faun)
(The Fallen Angel - Alexandre Cabanel)
(Covent Garden - William Bruce Ellis Rankin)
#obviously. not actually theft...#i was gonna say these are public domain but covent garden actually isnt yet#it will be. in two years.#thats the most different one though like i added a whole new guy..#maybe not the most different. barberini faun is pretty different i just took the post#pose#its barely even a study. thats not true#but. what was i saying.#oh its not theft it's study... the purpose is to learn!!! but also. if im gonna spend like 2 days on something...#its GONNA be my guys#otherwise. idk. i only want to spend 30 or so minutes per study#just to get the notes down and the practice for the skill im working on#i dont get all that much more out of completely rendering a master study. PERSONALLY.#at least definitely not enough to be worth taking 100x longer#but making them my characters makes it worth going all the way!!!#plus it's good practice w like. not just going 1:1 but actually genuinely interpreting whats there so i can manipulate it...#again. personally. this is just how i worm#WORK#youd better worm bitch#uhm... anyways yeah. ive done lots of study but why TF share it LMAO i dont even save it#its just to learn. ive got 1 million other drawings to save and look at later.#once the learning is done it's done its job and i have no need anymore#this is why the only studies i have are from school. i had to save and upload them#well. ok also i dont study as much now BUT in my defense im a full time artist#an hour or so a week is different ok im learning while working too.. i learned how to learn and i do it all the time now#master studies#digital art#my art#illustration#my ocs

Thinking about Yusuf and Nicolò as young men again
#the old guard#kaysanova#yusuf al kaysani#nicolo di genova#siggy draws#it ain't much but it's more than i've drawn in months. i miss this sort of cartoony style. like a dreamworks movie almost lol#my brain conjured an anime ending apparently and i can't explain why#maybe they're too girly looking but i didn't feel like using reference pictures so i guess they're bishounen sdfghfds#ahh i usually have director's commentary in the tags#yusuf is probably around 23-25 and nico is 19-22? though i can't say confidently that yusuf would be able to grow a full beard at 23#but maybe he can maybe he's just that powerful#they're either very sad and lonely or very pensive. or both. maybe they're longing for something more... maybe a true love#i also dk what these clothes are. yusuf has some good clothes on. is probably flourishing as a merchant but still longs for More#nicolo is wearing... a tunic? but it could be a thin gambeson instead. maybe he's learning how to use a sword#i try to capture their best assets in this doodly style: yusuf's eyelashes and cute ears and weirdly shaped eyebrows#and nicolo's nose and heavy brow and the fact that he has almost no lips from the side lol

I know for a fact I've talked about the golden records, but I don't care because here is a sample of some of my favourite greetings on those discs
There is something so vulnerable, precious, and human about sending up pieces of our hearts into space. Even when we know that there may not be anybody out there to hear us, we are still whispering to whomever might listen how much we love them, how much we want to connect. No matter how small the chance is, we're taking it to say that love is real, that we are real.
How is that not something to be in awe over?
#positivity#golden record#though it's been forty-seven years since launch both voyagers have just barely left our solar system#they are between 12-15 BILLION miles away from us#that's 20-24 BILLION kilometers away#i cant go to the club i need to cry uncontrollably about this#love is real#this is why i can never seriously consider apathy to be a poignant commentary about human nature#we never HAD to include this stuff - evidence of our love to completely inconceivable peoples#in fact if we learned anything from scifi maybe it would have been better for us not to say anything at all - to lead other life RIGHT TO US#but we couldn't shut up for five minutes to not say how much we love them and our planet and how enthusiastic we were that we MIGHT be found#we couldn't stop our hand from putting in *so much* effort for the 0.000000001% chance there's Something out there...#...for the chance that that 'something' will even be ABLE to retrieve AND understand our message of love#we absolutely need more golden records <3#to love something without even knowing anything about it .... there's nothing like that in the world#because i love whatever's out there. i think about them so often. i'll unironically pray for their health and safety#do they eat enough? do they look at the stars with wonder too? what's it like to breathe their air? do they know they're loved?

Actually, I hope Jiaoqiu stays blind (at least for a couple years in our time) and just bullies the Xianzhou alliance into inventing disability aids and treating disabled people better
#hsr#honkai star rail#hsr spoilers#jiaoqiu#i want to make it very clear that this is not a Jiaoqiu hate post#i am simply a disabled gal (chronic pain + shit eyesight + neurodivergent) who wants more disabled characters in the game#and with blindness in particular- that rant from the sanctus medicus lady really stuck with me#as did the treatment of the kid#and curing blindness irl is absolutely something that would be great and i think its fine to explore in game too#but its frustrating to watch the game act like thats the only way blind people can live their lives without constant suffering#especially in such a futuristic setting#like if you got space travel i think you can also make cains and railings and audio messages and braille#and I'm just hoping thats an intentional flaw of the xianzhou and not just writers ableism leaking through#with hsr's recent track record of disabled characters though i am learning towards believing its probably the former#I'm just saying that if mail delivering robots are a regular thing i dont see why other forms of robot assistants couldn't

*squeaky sound effects*
bro, please don't treat your pet fish like a stress ball (っ °Д °;)っ
#this scene really deserves more than my meagre attempt at animation but the visual was too funny not to attempt#dtppf#dtbpf#li yu#mu tianchi#listen him being like ''...actually yeah okay i can see why you're Upset right now so i WILL return so that you can squeeze me#like a stress ball but like? maybe a bit more gentle???'' and through sheer repetition something succeeds in being communicated#i'm not sure ''don't squish the fish'' should be something you HAVE to communicate but we're getting somewhere#i have officially started the fish isekai book wish me luck so far it's pretty cute... though if i'm gonna have to learn how to draw fish..#my art

i cannot believe...
..it took me almost THIRTEEN YEARS to google what he had actually said in 2012 (and then again and again, later) (edited video source)
"Je suis allée au cinéma avec mon copain *points at Louis* et ma famille."
"I went to the cinema with my boyfriend *points at Louis* and my family."
and it's the only phrase in french he kept repeating over the years:
youtube
i am DONE with today. like, i've been hearing him say this phrase for over a decade and never realized what he actually said?!?! *stares into the mirror* who am i? i feel like that “was i supposed to know XY or was i supposed to find out through a random quick google search 12 years later?”-meme hahaha fuck
and like, i know the word can also mean friend, but afaik you usually say "ami" then. but he didn't. he said boyfriend. and pointed at Louis. and then he said "He's caring. He treats me really well." after Louis said he hopes he's a nice boyfriend.
i'm laughing at my own slowness so hard rn, because i'm probably the last elder Larrie on this planet to get clued in on this lmfaoooo
these two, i swear! 🥹💙💚
#i need to lie down for an hour this epiphany was too much#larry stylinson#i learn something new every day and i love it#my ADHD makes me voiced-words-blind though especially with repeated phrases i am sure i have missed a lot more back then#Je suis allée au cinéma avec mon copain et ma famille#Boyfriend...

i have a counter argument to the 'only one person can boop bill' thing, mabel. she's the type of person to slap stickers on people, she would definitely be the type to also boop others occasionally and bill would be no exception. she probably doesn't do it to annoy bill like dipper would, but maybe as a form of a friendly gesture, kind of like those people who will lightly punch friends in the arm when they hang out.
You know what? Good point. Mabel would get away with more than most, as a fun-loving lady! Bill understands those impulses, and being a touchy person! He indulges in similar ones himself.
Though when Bill's not in the mood to be playful and gets booped anyway? The 'sister-in-law' status grants her considerable grace.
#answers#Though in addition to that - Mabel's general chaos and level of Fun Times is something Bill genuinely likes#Catch these two having one too many margaritas and slinging arms over each other's shoulders while singing too loud and off key#She'd have some leeway even without the brother situation#But Mabel gets a pass on things she normally wouldn't purely on the merit of 'this would piss off the spouse'#The thing about Bill is he's genuinely fun to party with - right up until he decides you're the pinata#Even now there are times when she thinks she's doing something 'cute' and Bill was NOT in the mood but just has to grin and bear it#Instead of breaking fingers one by one#Dipper is singular in his ability to get away with Pretty Much Everything#It's love yest but it's also communication and personality I'm afraid#If Bill DID call Dipper out on doing something Too Far he'd get an embarrassed and apologetic husband. With kisses of sorry.#Though in minor circumstances: he starts arguing with him#Turns out that bickering is a better way to deescalate with Bill than most other tactics and Dipper's a pro#Now Bill's gotta think semi-rationally to Win The Argument instead of acting on impulse.#And in the process of debate he not only: learns where his husband's coming from but has time to cool off#Congratulations Dipper! Your Nerdy Logic brain and ability to Rise to a Challenge prevent Bill from going immediately nuclear#Plus showing off that big sexy intellect of yours doesn't hurt#Whereas I see Mabel pushing one of Bill's few boundaries and then deflecting. She ain't great at conflict#Brushing it off and laughing; Jeez it was just for fun!! Lighten up already!#Exactly what Bill says when HE'S being a dick to someone!#Which is why he'd react Very Badly to that excuse#Ha ha! Fun! Of course Bill loves fun! You know what HE thinks is FUN#Barbecue. Flash-fried pork ribs. Where's that stupid pig#Dipper has to disarm that particular bomb and I highly doubt it's a pleasant process

thinking abt old men kl… literally always…. bc what if they were old…and married…and if they didnt have to wear those fuckass belts…
my kl fic 🫣
#old man lance having to button his old man husband's jacket because he's too busy talking about the kraggle#i forgot about rendering the tablet so you get a cameraless ipad#i feel dangerously old and being older than all my fav characters when i used to be younger than them is?#really though i also feel incredibly young#but also unaccomplished#but then what are you supposed to have done at 22. living should be enough#klance#vld#vld lance#vld keith#kl#klance fanart#keith#mine art#lance#vld klance#kind of a lazy render but also it somehow took me 8hrs#i’m very unhappy with my art rn#but i do like some parts of this a lot and i’ve been doing so anatomy stuff in my sketchbook#so hopefully i learn something#and start liking my art again#all i see rn though are mistakes#but legend ibyms did like my last drawing on instagram so maybe im being hard on myself#that was lowkey my magnum opus though#going wild in tags because im convinced that my followers who voluntarily followed me hate me and dont want to hear me speak (dies)

We were watching pride and prejudice and my hand slipped....
The scenario: Damian has invited his mysterious friend-from-out-of-town to a ball hosted by the Wayne family. Jon is a dashing young man, but he's not sure how to interact with all the fancy people - lucky for him, Damian isn't all that interested in entertaining guests (he has Dick and Tim for that) and so they're doing fun activities together such as Standing Around and Playing Piano, to avoid anyone else thinking either of them is idle and waiting for a chat.
Below is just a version with more colour on it 👉👈
#i don't know how old timey clothes look I just wanted to draw while watching a movie#they're older bc of high society conventions (you have to be old enough to attend a ball and enter society)#anyway I don't really care how you read this art idm what happens in your mind during or after this scene! have fun!#but for me oh.. they are pining#also don't look too close at the piano I drew that with my heart and didn't look at a single reference#don't look too close at anything ngl HAHAHAHAHAHA#screentone#art#digital art#fanart#jondami#damijon#damian wayne#damian al ghul#jon kent#jonathan kent#superboy#robin dc#also obligatory: I'm still new here! if you want to tell me a fun fact or teach me something about the lads go ahead!#and actually if you want to give me a history fact go crazy#I'm learning on the job friends!#it's fun to draw and have fun but I am interested in learning more things to rotate in the microwave!#also still figuring out screentones and just#how to draw nice HAHAHAHAHA I'm improving a lot though!#illustration#manga style
