Apr 11, Xi'an, China
I made a mistake with the dates on the prev two posts, I went to Beilin Museum on the 11th, not the 10th......I think it's because my phone was still stuck in NA time, which would explain why my phone thought those pictures were taken on the 10th.
Anyway, a random doorway in an alley in Xi'an that looks very traditional:
Traditional embroidery painting sold on the street. There were artisans, painters, calligraphers, and seal-crafters selling commissions in stalls. I couldn't think of a cool phrase for a commission, so I didn't spend any money there. This was one of my biggest regrets from this trip lol
Stuff from a souvenir shop, I thought these little monk figurines were cute
Xi'an city scenery, taken right in front of the Xi'an Museum/西安博物院
#2024 china#xi'an#china#just in case: none of these photos have had filters applied#i have like 900 picstures from xi'an alone so there's no way i can get to all of them#PLUS they look nice enough as is#blue skies and all#just in case if anyone's wondering if I fudged with the pics to make them look nicer#the only exception is the food#because the lighting in the restaurants might not always be the best

Kiss Kiss Fallen Tree!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Sorry to everyone who was looking forwards to this comic only to find out I put WWX in the ugliest outfit.#Continuity came first. Plus let's be honest; he did *not* show up in anything fancy. Or in all black as seen in most fanart.#We are at the middle of WWX depression arc. His self-care was 100% because Jin Yanli would be sad if he didn't try to look nice.#Okay okay. Fine I've delayed talking about the kiss long enough.#It is absolutely a core LWJ scene over a WWX scene. Which is made even more fascinating because we don't get his POV.#But we get so many insights! His loss of control and his firmness all contrasted against how he trembles.#And all of that wrapped up in a wonderful self-loathing bow! You go Lan Zhan! You hated yourself so much for this!#WWX is a hilarious narrator for this because he is truly just...baffled by what's going on.#He would push the person away but he doesn't want to hurt their feelings or pride (putting other people first again are we?)#I do understand why this one is divisive for people though. I choose to look at it through a character/humourous lens.#I've seen people defend and admonish this scene as a particularly shitty thing LWJ did and let's be very clear here: It was.#That's why I like it. LWJ did a shitty thing and struggles with it. It's part of what makes him so robust as a character.#It's also fine if you enjoy this scene for it's eroticism. You're not a bad person for that. You are just A Person.#People will have their own experiences with this topic. Be kind to each other alright?

Well, Ivy seems to be adjusting to her new arm/flesh whip/companion well enough (she's named it Henry).
The Jones Boys were naturally a bit shocked and confused when they got back to find a pool of blood by the twisted obelisk and a writhing tendril where their kid's arm used to be, but we all have to put up with strange stuff on the rim.
After ensuring Ivy and Alistair were okay, the Jones Boys returned to work until a transport pod fell from the sky! They begrudgingly rescued the hapless occupant, as it was a person from Wasbum, which is the faction we need to become allies with to get the first piece of the Archonexus map.
Mechi seems to be enjoying his new private bathroom (being an Acolyte has its perks) to get some well-earned relaxation time. Surely nothing else could happen to stress him out today, right?
Who's spreading rumours that Mechi is charming?? The man has the approachable personality of a moose with a toothache.
No, Purple, he's not marrying you. Don't be silly.
With that nonsense taken care of, it's time to curl up in bed with Security Chief Ratchet keeping a dutiful watch so no aspiring fiancees make it past.
Goodnight, Mechi. Enjoy your beauty sleep.

#rimworld#gracie plays#A Mechanitor's Message#art#my art#traditional art#rimworld art#unpolished art#slightly more polished art than usual#Ivy is still cute even with the addition of Henry#Perhaps we should try to get her melee-trained so Henry can be put to good use?#No that would feel too much like creating a child soldier#and this colony ain't about that life#these reclusive assholes can't even be asshole enough to leave someone to die in the desert#so we have a temporary guest#Wasbum better appreciate this#I still feel sad that Mechi and Kwahu don't share a room anymore#but Mechi looks like he's enjoying life with his own private space#so that's nice#plus I mean#I get to draw self-indulgent art#and his cool tattoo#which I'm not gonna complain about#R.I.P.

What's gabriel in this au?
Some loser, probably.
#Gabriel Ultrakill#Rain World Ancients#Ultrakill#Rain World#I CAN POST THIS NOW THAT THE FULL ATTACK IS DONE. NICE pose referenced from Act 1's ending cutscene if that wasn't blatant already#He's as of yet unnamed but I'm working on it. And also somehow not dead. Debatably. It's a crossover AU it's not adhering to RW canon#Anyway very cool style rain world has for its murals! Tried to match it to the best of my ability but my own style definitely bleeds throug#-in places. It happens#ANYWAY the reason why he's an Ancient is just because there seem to be a lot of parallels between Angels in UTKL and Ancients in RW#Both are societies obsessed with remaining free from earthly desire and keeping order; one wishes to ascend and one has already ascended-#-and has to keep it that way lest they feel the wrath of a long-absent god#Looking at the karma murals that represented the deadly sins (ish) kind of solidified that#Plus it means I don't have to take off his helmet which is always a bonus; I don't like unmasking helmeted characters#As a bonus ancients sort of seem birdlike to me? They're meant to look vague but at least two had bird feet so hell yeah. Bird time.#Enough tag talking. Here's the actual sorting tags:#Re: Inbox#Re: Anon#RW UTKL#Hrokkall Art

get you a girl who can give you everything
this started a long long time ago when I made a joke about how sega should put ringo in more dresses, and then my friend reminded me that oh yeah!! I can do that instead!!! and then one thing led to another and we joked about punk ringo and I drew that too. using ringo like a dressup doll is so cathartic it's kinda crazy
some bonuses (original designs, timelapse) under the cut bc I like these designs!! I might do some more with them!! please disregard the band poster in the first second of the timelapse that's something else!!!
#everyone look at my girl isnt she so pretty#puyo puyo#ringo ando#my stuff#please look at the timelapse it nicely packages a week of suffering into a minute :)#you cant tell at all from the recording. but all those teeny tiny scallops on ringo's dress? i drew all of those by hand#because the scallop brush i downloaded didnt look right. it never does why do i have that#plus the lace cutouts on the bottom i also drew by hand because i wanted them to look kinda like bunches of apple seeds#but thats not really a thing you can search for- 'lace brush that looks like apple seeds' is wildly specific#there's probably an identical brush to what i painstakingly drew by hand but dont tell me about it i want to think i did that for a reason#punk ringo on top was a lot less work on the lineart bit except for that godforsaken guitar#i had to make sure it looked right and it took forever#but what punk ringo gave me the most trouble with was posing#i knew i wanted an arm out to mirror lolita ringo but thw initial draft was meant to be her holding the guitar the opposite way she is now#(as in her hand was gonna be backwards)#and do you know how hard it is to balance a guitar like that. i had to grab my guitar and do a photoshoot to see what was most natural#while still having leg up arm out#this was fun to do even if i had about three crises in the middle of it#i tried doing my old rendering style again after a while and it was fun too#lolita ringo gave me a bit of trouble in the fact that my brain couldnt handle the dress being shaded but the apples being flat#but we got it lmao. i dont know if ill ever do this again it took too long#but maybe half of the time was because suddenly halfway through everybody needed my help for something or other that required me to leave#anyway wow thats enough rambling. i should go to bed now

okay, I don't want this guy to just entirely vanish into the aether so I'm posting ONE photo at the most flattering angle I can find, but.... man 😭 I worked on this for so long and struggled so much and every change and tweak I made hoping to improve the shape just made me less satisfied. There are individual things I'm happy with, like figuring out how to "squint" the eyes and the overall weight and flop of the body, but I feel like I need to revisit the pattern and make some pretty dramatic changes. I may have to accept that I need to break it up into more than like... ten major pieces 😮💨
#idk if this sounds insane but i feel like this one never quite ''came alive'' the whole time i was working on it#holding it doesn't make me Feel anything except frustration skdhsj#so I'm probably gonna take it apart to reclaim the pellets and face pieces for the next attempt :|#artbyrom#the little creature coterie#on the plus side i DID go ahead and order thr Good Fur#i got 1'' and 1/2'' pile in a nice ~ivory~ white so it's got a warm creamy tint to it#and i got a whole yard of each so i will have enough for experiments and I'm looking forward to it :3

Working on an iterator design for GLaDOS <3
#ooc#my art#.☣️#☣️ verse | rain world au#((i'm thinking her name could be ''Aperture to Innovation'' or something along those lines?))#((it'd be *nice* to keep her name as glados))#((but i don't know if i could come up with a different meaning for the acronym that makes sense for rw but also glados as a character))#((plus i think that'd make her full name too long for rain world's standards from the canon names i've looked at))#((so i'm happy to have her name reference aperture science instead! and it means i can include the logo in her design and it makes sense))#((her creation opened the way to new innovations! or at least she was Supposed to lmao))#((and it also means i can still have the whole area she controls named the aperture labs/enrichment center. just that it's named after her!)#((since i know there's the guy five pebbles but i think i also read that there's also a *place* called five pebbles?))#((which i assume is just his territory area. so glados would have a similar thing!))#((her darkened eye is broken by the way! but it doesn't bother her))#((and i know i'll probably need to redesign the cores to make them more rain world-like but.))#((that will come once i actually play the game dgshsfsf. for now they're just simplified versions of their canon designs))#((and i wanted the sash thing they're on to look kinda. constricting but not immediately concerning?))#((it's wrapped around her entire body but it's loose enough that it doesn't look like it's actually causing her any harm))#((even though it Kind Of Is. or is at *least* a massive source of annoyance for her))#((though i'll have to see later if i can actually fit the whole personality core thing into the au))

love that you dont have to essentially buy heroes now but 1.) that shouldve been the case in the first place 2.) i feel bad for everyone i play against as i now realize i can play ramattra as much as i want and i will proceed with my rampages
#overwatch#overwatch 2#i almost have enough for his kabuki skin ...... if i level up a few more then i can get the gold needed for it ....#as of rn he doesnt really have any other skins i like but i also cant imagine improving upon the perfection of his design#uuGHHH BUT ZEN'S TAKO SKIN .... albeit i wont have enough for that until at least two more battle passes i think but ....#is that not more reason to save .... ouughghhh...#at least i have the fastball skin for zen but with ramattra i just have that owl skin and i need to look. a LIL nice-r 💀💀#plus i love kabuki...... and i have the kabuki wallpaper for my name tag so it only makes sense i actually get the skin too right jALKVJELK#in any case. its been fun being able to play ramattra finally :) <- he's been free for weeks#i showed up to a game while it was ongoing and i killed everyone on the enemy team 💀#NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT MY SUPPORTS .... i love support so much ....#i did have a game where my mercy was. Interesting though#she kept tryna glock everyone like bestie ily but please focus on healing </3 OR AT LEAST DON'T CHARGE THE ENEMY RAMATTRA#MAYBE IF HE WAS AT LIKE 1/8 OF HEALTH BUT NOW WHEN HE FULL HEALTH VLKAEJVJLKAE

what is it with bigger sims 4 creators and being shady c*nts like 😭 the cash grabbiness of it all is so disheartening
#im looking at you f*lix and h*rrie#like their creations are nice but are perpetually broken#and rarely get fixed#plus theyre rude and earn so much just from patreon#also as if Patreon wasn't enough they still have their cf links up despite knowing cf is owned by zios#anyways#rant over#I don't feel bad getting their shit off the vault#plasma yaps#ts4#simblr#text post

Just some screenshots of my character I made via NVIDIA Ansel
#soul calibur#soul calibur vi#soul calibur 6#the conduit#a small test post to see if it'll show up in the tag#plus these were in my folder for about two weeks waiting to be shared#since i discovered that ansel actually works on my computer i've spent hours taking nice looking screenshots#(at least i think they look nice)#ugh i wannna ramble about my character and how she interacts with the story and characters. but alas i'm not confident enough#so screenshots will do for now#(and if you noticed different gloves and staff in one of the images - no you didn't /jk)#(i simply made some screenshots before i changed gloves and staff. and that one just coudn't be done again. lighting was way off)

i am not immune to marketing gimmicks (<- just bought limited edition cocoa flavor online)
#sasha speaks#they're having a big sale rn to clear out their overstock and leftover limited edition flavors from the past year#nearly everything is sold out already especially most of their flavored blends#but they had a medium roast from an origin i haven't tried before#and the unflavored single origin medium roasts are my favorite! so i ordered a bag for 35% off#plus a bag of my usual favorite...in fairness i also meant to bring some back home with me from my apartment and forgot completely#the other day when i was packing#so having a couple bags of cocoa arriving at home for me in a few days will be a nice treat#it's just roasted and ground cacao beans but you brew it just like coffee#the end product really is a lot like black coffee (bitter and strong lol) but it's quite lovely with a bit of sweetener#i used to take it with some cream but actually now my favorite preparation#is cocoa grounds + big pinch of salt + a few green cardamom pods + just enough maple syrup to make it *barely* sweet#makes a wonderful hot beverage. it's so cozy...#anyway looking forward to that. i hope the new flavor is good. the last limited edition medium roast i tried was fine#but i didn't like it more than their regular ones#unfortunately most of their varieties these days are either dark/french/ultradark (spanish) roasts or they're flavored light roasts#and i don't much go for those. i mean occasionally a flavored light roast#but i find them disappointing more often than not. light roast isn't chocolatey enough for me and the flavors are usually weak or stale#(the strawberry one is good but it's a summer limited ed and it was out of stock already by the time i saw the overstock sale)#and the dark roasts are just too dark for me. i want to taste the cacao bean and origin not just the roast#so the medium roasts are the sweet spot for me. roasted enough to taste really chocolatey and strong#but not so much that they're overwhelming and lose their character#actually weirdly i've noticed recently that on some of their limited ed and flavored blends they aren't listing the roast level.#it's very strange#for the flavoreds i just assume light roast but it's weird when they don't tell you on the package or the online shop page
