i really would not change a single thing about the malec plotline (breakup and all) but sometimes i really do wish we got to see alec date at least one other person yk? and i dont mean that in a pre-cog focing himself to date a woman to hide his sexuality way, i mean in a post-breakup rebound/fling kinda way like i just know the drama would be legendary

i don’t know how to write men well due to i am the man hating lesbian your father warned you about. thus i am trying to wlw!devil’s minion.

and the thing is, when you take this show and these characters whose stories are so rooted in the permissions of patriarchy, it brings up way too many questions that i don’t know how to answer. for example, is danny still bi? is she a lesbian who, if 70s dm happened, is thrown back into comphet after armande wipes her memories? if she is the one who carried her daughters, how might that change her relationship with them? especially if she resents the trauma of their pregnancies? how does that change how the world receives the book? does her published steamroll her and publish it under a fiction genre because danny’s an old woman after all—of course she’s turned to writing gothic romantasy? never mind the fact that she had never previously shown any interest in or knack for writing fiction.

it begs the question of who should be genderbent too. sure, daniel, armand, louis, and lestat. but what about claudia? and, of course, whether claudia is or isn’t genderbent, it changes the unholy family dynamics, how they were able to move about the world.

and yeah, i probably don’t need to Think too hard about loustat and claudia if i’m writing silly dm toxic old woman yuri, but the domino effect of louis’s story into everyone’s lives is the grounding part of the original, and to me, it bears considering.

Your art is super cool and inspiring to me be an art person. Can you show how to draw a cat please? If that is okay?

Thank you oh so much <3 it’s honestly shocking! It’s kind of nice to know im repeating the lineage of giving people cat brainworms. It’s more than okay!!!

I don’t know if this is entirely what you mean, but!!! I’m gonna be honest, a lot of it is making basic shapes and silhouettes. Usually I do more semi realistic cats. And a lot of it is your sense of shape language!!!!! But, I’ll take you through the steps. (Keep in mind that a lot of this is better said than done, as this is from years of being a self taught artist.) this may end up being a thread? There’s also plenty of artists who do cat tutorials WAY better than me. None of this is really defined!

1) CIRCLES AND SQUARES.

Twilight ended up with a circle shape, but as you’ll notice she actually ended up with a more triangle shape! Circles and squares are a best friend.

2) Basic shaping

Anytime you draw, you probably already have a pose in mind. I usually like to shape it out and mold it kind of like clay!!! But the real refinery comes later. Again, keep it basic. You iron out the details later and if you get stressed too fast due to detailing it’ll put you off from the drawing in general.

3) Minor detailing

Since Twilight was sitting, this is just kind of outlining a placement and shape for the limbs and chest I liked. This also includes tail placement!

4) Rough Flats!!!

This is the moment where you of course do the flat base color! As you can see this is usually pretty rough. Again, clay! You’re doing a basic cookie cut shape and smoothing it into the shapes you want come later. As you’ll notice I leave the tail for later since it’s usually BEHIND them and it’s less headache.

5) Put the sketch layer on top and lower the opacity !

This is where more detailing comes in. Like placement of the eyes and patterns. As you’ll notice I’ve ironed out the shaping!!!

6) Mapping

This is pelt mapping!!! Of course, it’s mapping out the patterns and shapes of a cats fur to a place im content with. Again, this kind of plays into your understanding of shapes.

7) Color!!!!

I’ll end it here, but this is for playing around on a clipping layer once you figure out a placement and color you like!!!! Airbrushing, stippling, the pattern and detail is up to play with!!!

8) And you have yourself a pretty decent cat!

Remember, shapes and exaggeration of features are your best friend!

a repeat but a more standard show of anatomy: my snow leopard study! But as you can see even in the character design I give them poof and exaggeration to make expression. Even in the final product I think I will mess around with the shapes to give off whatever vibe I want! Even as you can see for the full body I referenced I blocked out the character instead of really following the shapes.

i know you've probably gotten this kind of message before, but i wanted to thank you for all the work you do preserving these photos. flickr is an already obscure website getting more and more forgotten by the day and it would be such a shame if its contents weren't saved in some way. you do such a loving job curating the photos on here and even if they seem mundane on the surface, going through your page always elicits such a strong emotional reaction out of me and probably many others. you're capturing fragments of people's lives and giving them a second lease on life, to be viewed, appreciated, seen. lived all over again, in a way. thank you. sorry if this is incoherent it is very early in the morning and i almost cried looking at a few of the old animal crossing wild world pictures

[batfossil-fr]

I’ve been really thinking of reopening my art shop soon… I’ve been taking some practice doodles (hence all the posting lately) while I shake off my rust and I’m finding things I enjoy working on again. I miss trying my hand at more dragons/OCs and colors. my shop’s so broken rn lmao but that’s a problem for a later date it’s just nice getting back into art

[uhohdad]

damn y’all want more octo!konig? fucking bet you and him are about to paint the town red baaaaaby

[ravenfiire]

I always have a silly urge to make like. A descendants confessions account but then I see every other confession account for every fandom ever become a toxic cesspool and crash and burn so that would be a bad idea

maybe a headcanons one though…That would be fun I think

if fnaf had a real plot to its early games michael would be a dbd survivor i know this in my heart and soul

Thinking about this tawog artist who disappeared off the face of the planet a few years ago

^ they drew this

[macbethz]

Once I realized I’d rather be interesting than amicable I become so much less socially anxious

[shima-draws]

Mhmm. Got new OC ideas on the brain. It’s basically the trope of “I thought I lost you when we were kids but you’ve actually been by my side now that we’re adults yet I was too fucking STUPID to realize it was you all along” which is like. MWAH chef’s kiss 😩👌
