Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

#sketchbook #scrapbook #Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at #but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open #image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best #medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a #limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont #know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and #excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines #and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch #pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color #or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being #'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my #outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one #more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page #before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then #was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down #stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and #having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's #a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the #scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol #Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube #face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to #work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time #be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm #(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a #pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

(character from ddvau by the amazing phenomenal incredible @xmaruu11 and @kitsuneisi )

#grian #mother spore #desert duo vigilante au #my art #im really just. not a fan of this #somehow both a lot better and much worse than my last painting #still! it was a nice challenge #especially all the darker tones i had to use it wasnt easy #and i had fun! so its okay im still learning #it probably looks better if you squint though

I really love seeing your dogs and sometimes I think about how amazing your art style would be in animation ♥ Not that this is intended to ask or prod you to do so, just that I can imagine your lovely dogs in motion and theyre such amazing characters I could see them in a movie format. Thank you for sharing them with us ♥

.

#auh thank you!#I think most people who draw and/or have their own characters dream of seeing them in animated form #I visualize them that way in my head #and it's really nice to hear you can imagine them in motion as well! I hope that means I've managed to make them convincingly expressive #I know animating as an individual artist and for fun is getting more accessible #but it's still a very challenging and time consuming art form #knowing how to draw doesn't necessarily translate to being able to animate well #I'd love to give it a try though #answered #anonymous

idk why some ppl think otherwise but its like. normal to not be 100% comfortable with everything in an adult game that doesnt make you less "worthy" or w/e of being there its not like some edgy prove that you can handle reading about xyz fringe kink competition. however you do have to be respectful in both directions. if thats what you want to read, fine but everyone doesn't have to and everyones preferences and their comfort zones are very different. can it be annoying reading the same takes over and over? sure but if its something that like. a majority of normal ass people would be uncomfortable with then it makes sense! the main thing is getting used to saying this is not for me, lets put it down for now and maybe we can come back when theres something i enjoy.

#cliffnotes/.txt #like yes we are playing an adult game but it would be nice for some more specific content warnings #people look for those for a reason #if there arent any no one is really sure whats going to happen #like i still play whb bc i like a lot of the characters and wanna see where the story is going #that doesnt mean that i have to be comfortable the whole time though #no one does! im not a fan of the general setup for either last years angel cards or the torture cards rn #but thats alright its not for me #the point of the game is theres such a wide range of stuff to appeal to different people. everyone will not like the same thing #thats like. the basics.#if it comes to the point where anyones getting on ur nerves either u need to just log off or mute or block its so simple #i think the real challenge to be in a space for an adult game is just having understanding

Eh idk man just mulling over the thought that it’s super awesome to think of Vash as this little silly guy who is always so fucking pissed at Wolfwood ;or just people generally but I’m using Wolfwood for this one because it’s funny to me personally.

Wolfwood is the most vocal of the two in that regard, about being pissed off at Vash a lot of the time, nobody wonders about it. But think about this, one day Wolfwood says something or does something (not about killing) that Vash so heavily disagrees with and he looks so done.

Not done as in augh this conversation again, but pissed as in repressed anger, as in you should be thankful I don’t vouch for violence as my first option.

And it feels so oppressing, Wolfwood genuinely wonders if someone is out there wanting to kill them, but it’s just Vash doing a poor attempt of regulating his emotions while looking at WWs back with immense murderous intent

#he’s just like me fr I’m totally not projecting though #sometimes people disagree with me and I have to actively decide not to resort to some sort of violence. usually verbal.#i just straight up don’t talk to that person for a good GOOD while until I know I won’t explode in the next disagreement #and i just thought oh wow this dude totally seems like he would do this too. takes one to recognize another or something like that #but yeah Vash is filled with so much ancient anger I don’t think he reacts to stuff well #SPECIALLY with WW. since his whole point is being the one that challenges Vash’s beliefs the most and stands up against him #which is why they work out and are so fucking dysfunctional-ly functional. I hope I will never have what they do it’d be concerning <3 #anyways then I guess aLWNENW #trigun #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #vashwood #lenssi rambles #uuh no spoilers for the manga also pls if you’re so nice I’m still at it in case I somehow landed a hit with any of this

pookie what do you think of parappa the rapper

/falling back in love with film.

#forgot how fun it is to wait for it too #the whole process is something digital could never touch #I think when you start out with film early on it leaves a special mark that’s not comparable #no editing idk it's nice it takes a burden off my obsessive nature #it just is what it is #no five shots of the same thing if it sucks it sucks and even if it does it still has some charm #one of my rolls from Dec got kinda messed up and it still looks cool to me #film is the poetry of photography¿ it makes sense #a book of writing and film pics would be cool #anyways #if l get better maybe I'll add a film portion to my website #that poor website I've had it since last spring and rly need to work on it but it's so challenging to my brain and I never have free time #will work on making it more of a priority and slow down a bit #my brains always going I gotta destress and declutter that thing #but also there shouldn't be a rush or stress when it comes to things like this #but overall I need to refocus and slow down #life is so stressful though man #anyways also love how film is all different days it's special #still want to do that one childhood project l'm thinking of #got one #mine

So the funny thing about my veilguard game is that I'm almost definitely overleveled. I just went and fought the blighted dragons in the wetlands, and... eh. Before this id already fought and killed the revenant dragon in the crossroads, which was a bit of a challenge. I even needed to use 2 potions for it. But I still killed it no problem. The wetlands blighted dragons were pretty easy in comparison.... though I Will say, fighting *two* dragons at once was a fun, unexpected surprise. Kept me on my toes a bit!! I still didn't need to use any of my potions, though

#speculation nation #fanny plays dav #datv spoilers/#i have 5 potion slots but ive got a fuckin freakishly high defense #for a rogue especially. like 435 or smth?? i forget exactly what it is but definitely over 400 #i already killed the demon-possessed dragon in the crypts. so i got the 200 defense armor #plus a +30 defense enchantment. plus a really good helmet. plus a +10% defense enchantment.#PLUS that one defense ring fully maxed out so it's giving me another +30 defense and i think another +10%??#plus protecting me from taking more than a quarter of my health in a single hit.#so i may be a melee rogue with questionable dodging skills who never fuckin parries. but im a fuckin Tank of a rogue.#and ive got that pilfer skill still that i tend to default to before using potions. or have a mage heal me.#so i rarely need to use potions. still like keeping the extra slots there tho. just in case.#im also still using the toothpick dagger. a bleeding build. got that ring thing that adds to it too.#and my other sword is the super beefed up necrotic sword. bc i love it. and im a necrotic build too.#so im just throwing around necrosis and bleeding like it's nobody's business.#my ability damage isnt the best since that's the downside of that armor. but i ALSO have that talisman from mythal #that does extra damage for low health enemies (counting any average enemy as low health) so like. im still wrecking shop.#i also suck ass a little bit so i'll be out there getting knocked on my ass in really embarrassing ways.#but it's ok i have a wonderfully high defense. i can survive Anything.#very effective build. i jab them with my swords a few times. make sure i dont die. and then enemies just have a habit of dying on their own #(since both necrosis and bleeding are damage over time. and i can do up to like. 11 bleeding slots i think. they bleed a LOT)#though it might even be TOO effective... nice to have a surety in my abilities but im also like #things have a habit of dying so quickly when i fight them... :( no i wont lessen the effectiveness of my build tho fuck that #im just looking forward to my next game where i play a mage. probably still gonna be pretty melee. but we'll see how that goes.#i also maybe wanna play a grey warden too. and romance davrin. for the funsies...#but for now. the most badass short little elf taking heavy fucking hits as they jab enemies with this tiny lil dagger #and then suddenly the enemies are dead! imagine that lol #tho it does create a bit of a challenge if things are resistant to necrotic or immune to bleeding.#like i fought that Zara lady today and realized it was taking a lot longer than normal bc my bleeding wasnt Working on her #which makes sense. given the blood mage thing. oh well i still got her >:]

almost nothing is worth losing sleep over, I decided this after being 22. academic failure is better than losing a single night's sleep over something so silly. but at the same time, this proposal was due a, week and a half ago,

#what do i say when i turn it in. sorry but over the past few years i've seen the ultimate futility of trying to have a fulfilling career #when i hate interacting with other people in person to the extent that i do #and it's made every assignment feel meaningless in a system that i know is mostly #a way that you pay for a job where you get a consistent schedule and a living wage #and aside from all that i'm so burned out from everything i've done since i was 18 that eating 3 meals a day is a real challenge #and even if i was successful at this and got to a stable job & did middle class activities it still wouldn't be enough i wouldn't fit in #my family still wouldn't be happy i still wouldn't be capable of having real connections irl without mimicking my way into it like a robot #i did try to do the assignment 4 times though #have a nice day?#i can't say all that i run out of good excuses so i just simply don't say anything :)

too little gfx in the tags lately this is so unfortunate

#pros of tumblr: backwater hell. cons of tumblr: backwater hell #actually add another con: hostile to all image makers now ig #nothing but gifs..................... please..... graphics where r u #tho tbh idk where the graphics makers live because i literally have never seen any on twitter either #a discord for transparent renders that i lurk in opened a channel to share your edits and like #some of them are a bit cluttered but they're still very nice and nothing like tumblr's usual edit style #they're very . digital ig? full of textures text stickers and random bits and bobs everywhere its interesting #some of them also have the magazine mockup thing going on so its got block font bold as hell style usually main focus is drippy splash art #which like . WHERE DO YOU ALL POST YOUR WORK?? SHOW PLEASE ive never seen any style like it in my life #all are like really cool as hell though im impressed and inspired #esp these are all single image focused whereas tumblr's full of like photosets that make up 1 coherent thing #so it's a different kind of challenge... sooooooooo cool though #lowkey wanna try it zzzzz theyre all so neat... scratches a good itch..#ramblings!

I thought that these inner sections of a pomelo peel thing kind of looked like flower petals with their coloring, so I left them out to dry for a few days, and then glued some of them together to make little "flowers" to hang in my window.

#crafts #I like the see-through ness of them and the color gradient. And pomelos are one of the foods to me that are very fun to disassemble #(like how I enjoy peeling carrots. or cutting cabbage. etc.) I don't actually eat citrus that much but some of the people I know #and live with do. so I'll always volunteer to cut stuff up or peel fruits if I'm over at someone's house or etc #I am.. the Food Prepper .. lol.. I could never be a chef due to the stress and the Hot of a kitchen and me being so heat sensitive #but in a broader sense I love doing little menial tasks like that. especially if there's some element of like 'try and get the sections all #cut as evenly and neatly as possible'.. sitting there like ..ouuu.. a challenge.. i will cut this onion into the thinnest slices known to #man.. this is now my quest and my destiny... etc. gjhbhj #ANYWAY... though I originally wanted to kind of sew them together with string so there wasn't glue visible or anything #I ended up having to glue them for them to hold their positions properly #So it looks weird because they're so trasnparent that you can kind of see the glue lines at some angles... but alas #still nice when the light shines through them

I've spent much of the past week feeling sad, angry, powerless, useless. I wondered how people could justify the treatment of Palestinians, but of course it makes sense for coloniser and settler colonial countries to support one another. You can't criticise the actions of one settler colony because then you're effectively also questioning the history and legitimacy of your own state.

#ireland recognise palestine NOW challenge #leo et al actually speaking against the majority of european leaders on this was a nice surprise #like reading about this made me so depressed and lowkey insane because i wondered how the world could not only stand by and watch #ethnic cleansing but actively cheer it on??? and then i spoke to other irish people about it and we're all feeling this way apparently #we as a country are actually normal about something for once. 'the world' is not cheering this on but the most powerful countries are #still feel so fucking ashamed of the world though. like fuck.#especially ashamed of europe as per. if europeans had more fucking shame and humility the world would be a better place

Think I’m gonna set myself a word limit for writing this month, instead of a set number of works. I’d like to improve on writing short-form stuff (especially angst and whump cause it’s fun) but between assignments, applications and the urge to draw I don’t want to burn out…

#I’ll set it high so it’s still a challenge… maybe like… 30k? 35k? i feel bad that I’m not sticking to the challenge but I struggle with jus #- barreling into scenes without setting up context and all of these keep turning into two-parters. I’m still having a blast though!!#it’s nice to finally just dump old ideas down onto paper (Google Docs app) it’s just hard to maintain a constant around assignments with #- midterms coming up lol. writing does take a lotta mental energy alas. and I need to scribble to replenish that energy.#but eh- I was never doing the ‘official’ challenge anyways just challenging myself. so! that’s the update!#I’ll still try to write like… 2-3 things every week though I don’t wanna lose momentum.
