I get it.
I actually get it.
I went to an art museum today and I got it. For the first time, I actually understood, at least a little.
I left feeling enriched and inspired.
I could see where the rattlecan's spray leaked under the tape.
I could see spatter where the paintbrush touched down a bit too hard.
Lines where the artist's hand trembled.
Almost-perfectly-lined-up woodblock prints.
I could almost hear the waves lapping at the foreshore in the resultant printed work.
I got it. I got the art. I understood.
Usually, I go to an art gallery, I stare at the pieces, and I understand nothing and feel stupid.
This time I got it. This time I could feel the artist shaking my hand.
This time was different.
I get it now.
#magnetar rambles#I don't know if I was really going anywhere with this#but if there's a free art exhibition near you#you should go!#and take a close look at the art#see the mistakes where the artist goofed a little#see the human imperfections#and feel a connection to the other person#the flaws making the work shine all the brighter#IDK

Posting a sneak-peak of this now because I'm about to be In The Shit school workload-wise, so this'll take me a while to finish.
Doing some character design exploration/expression sheets for Celestia and Luna. Figuring out Celestia's weird ass anatomy while I'm at it.
#mlp#celestia#fanart#my art#wip#the grand galloping 20s#delete later#look at me fucking smart guy signed up for 4 art classes in one quarter#so now i have 4 concurrent art/film/creative writing projects going on at the same fucking time#taking bets on how fast i burn out#anyways the idea behind the faces is the front face is the surface. it displays whatever emotions celestia intends when she's in control.#the two side faces––sadness and anger––are sides of her she has less control over. i drew all 3 faces active for the exploration#but in reality only 1 is active at a time. the others will either close their eyes or go catatonic like a puppet or doll#the final face on the back of the head is the deep subconscious. every ugly and violent and hateful thought and emotion#that lies buried under the surface. celestia has no control over that side of her. if she ever wakes

The Floyd JD and Branch sitcom in your head is the funniest show I’ve never seen
can the third movie's spin-off series just be this please?
#someone put branch out of his misery#he can't take much more#(lying. he's actually enjoying it (sometimes))#trolls#dreamworks trolls#trolls band together#trolls 3#trolls branch#trolls john dory#trolls poppy#trolls floyd#my art#answered#i just realized i called branch single#sorry king. broppy for life#but poppy is also his life coach on how to be a normal troll sooo#also kjfdjhf i made him so small lol. short king. i guess he's slouching#oh and#would anyone want to buy a print of this? because the original file is pretty big and i think it looks nice even from up close#there's textures and stuff#and everything is handwritten which you can't really tell in this smaller image

ten minutes into the trip and already Leona's elaborate get-out-of-work-free plan has gone wildly off the rails. off to a great start!
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#tamashina mina#long post#sorry for this#if you look closely you can pinpoint the exact moment i went 'well i'm too committed to stop now'#someday i'm actually gonna listen to that little voice in my head that tells me i can just. not post things.#anyway HEY welcome to midriffs in the afterglow!#i was hoping our New Character might be leona's sister-in-law#i don't remember if it's canon that she's super buff and could break him in half or if i just want it to be canon#(it's canon in my heart)#but you know i'll take kifaji#i'm happy with a smarmy oldster with impeccable eyeshadow and brows i could get lost in#my ultimate hope out of this event is a rhythmic with cheka. fingers crossed. 🤞

BILLDUMP TIME (with transparency, because I can). Don't mind me, I'm just yeeting my goofy art at some way more talented individuals out of nowhere and then hauling ass back to the security of being a weird silent lurker ahaha
@tesscourtes and @beccadrawsstuff, respectively! These two Bills make a little prism of sorts together because of their recent crossovers on Patreon~ :3c Speaking of which, I highly recommend supporting both these artists! They do fantastic work! (TessCourtes and Beccup)
@qoolk on the left, and @monobmp on the right! I am such a sucker for these outfits~ OuO Go and check these two out, their art is phenomenal!!! >u<
@1spooky2me The most difficult Bill of the lot for me to draw, ahaha... Their art is so incredibly consistent and dynamic, I am, a little envious <:,) A little envious, but mostly impressed, so go look at their amazing art, what are you waiting for
And finally, @ckret2, whose writing is sublimely in-character and just a delight to read - they're a great artist, as well! I simply Could Not resist drawing their Bill in this ridiculous incredible and very fashionable pink feather dress, even though he only briefly wears it in their fic, so I also did a little bonus doodle of him in his standard hoodie to make up for it. XD (Also, as far as I'm concerned, Bill and Mabel were both correct in that lime green accessories make the dress Much Better.)
This is just a small selection of the human Bill designs I enjoy. I may draw and post more later on, who knows! Feel free to reblog with some neat Bill designs, either your own or by other folks - if any of the designs particularly call to me, I'll add them to the little list I've got going~ :D (Alternatively, if you really like my stuff and want me to draw something specific, you could...mmm...perhaps, commission me...? OuO)
Also I'm tagging Billford because uhhhh yeah, sorry not sorry, every single one of these Bills is getting shipped with Ford by the artists in some way or another, lmao
#fanart#gravity falls#bill cipher#human bill cipher#human bill design#billford#bill is just so Gender#regardless of whether or not he's a triangle. just. such Gender. wow#honestly tempted to draw the OG twink!bill and the mangopablo save-the-town!bill just for funzies#i may also attempt to draw alex hirsch's “canon” human!bill but uhhhh who knows LOL#i kinda feel like he made the design extra ugly just to poke fun at the fandom#so the “canon” aspect of it is kinda up in the air for me personally LMAO#not sure if i drew goldilocks!bill thicc enough tbh#just. look. it's hard to draw a person who is as close to triangular as a human can possibly get. ok??? ok#I TRIED AND THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT OnO#in other news why did these turn out so much better than the drawings of my own design??? wtf that's so rude#get it together ME this is fukken embarrassing#btw if i draw something for you and you respond to thank me only to have me say nothing back it's because i am very awkward and anxious lol#there is also the adhd which makes me forget that i failed to respond like a normal person would have ahahahaha o-o#but mostly it's the horrors of being perceived for more than the two seconds it takes to yeet an art at a person O-O#why am i like this? good question! maybe i'll have an answer someday when i can actually afford therapy XD#I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASLEEP FIVE HOURS AGO

you mustn't blame yourself
#FF7#FFVII#final fantasy 7#final fantasy vii#advent children#aerith gainsborough#tifa lockhart#aerti#my art#<- i am moonlight elegy on twt#driving myself insane walking in circles thinking about how much guilt tifa must feel#i've already rambled about the weight of grief and other things that threatened to crush tifa so i wont do it again but man. MAN#girls who carry the world on their shoulders#also if anything in this looks fucky just close your eyes. take ur issues up with god. i dont wanna hear it LMAO#i had to cling to the phrase “trust the process” the entire time and buddy my trust was constantly wavering#but this is the best i can do with the idea#i went with tifa's AC fit specifically so that aerith would be holding the ribbon heehehehehe (crying sobbing throwing up)

A friend of mine sent me your latest post and I couldn't stop thinking about how perfectly Vasco would fit into the role of a coat of arms supporter. It got to the point that I just sat down and made a mock-up of the idea; turns out actually, both of them do a great job at it, together. Literally made this account to share the discovery (Extra funny points for them fitting the original colour scheme)
.
#I was having a late night snack and almost inhaled my pizza when I received this#glorious#Vasco is excited to be there he's taking his new coat of arms supporter role very seriously#hey stop fiddling with the mantle Machete leave it be#I had to look this up but this is apparently the royal coat of arms of united kingdom#and in the original the characters are a lion and an unicorn#which fits these two oddly well#I love the fig leaf censorship very classy very tasteful#thank you for going through the trouble of making an account just to send me this it's priceless#gift art#peaceofbreadcake#Vasco#Machete#own characters#teamwork ✨#the weird thing is how it almost works#if you didn't look closely enough you might not notice that the heraldic beasts are naked dog men
