Clint's done! The black bits were a NIGHTMARE but I think it came out okay??

Avengers paper cutout 5/?

#avengers paper cutout project #art #mcu fanart #fun fact I had like 2 other versions of this that I scrapped lol #art is hard!#I like the straight edges I did for this and bruce I'll probably keep doing that #you'd think natasha would be up next but uh my niece specifically requested I do spider-man next so she could have it in her room #and I'm not about to say no to my biggest fan #... and if it means I get to put off doing a gun in this style I'm all for it #though I still have to suffer with the black in both of those lol go me for not planning this better!#first though I'm doing another watercolor thing 👀#you should see that in the next few days I hope

Note to my brain- YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOVE ALL YOUR ART!! NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE A COMPLETE, SHADED, DETAILED PIECE!! JUST DRAWING IS ENOUGH!!

#bug shitpost #art is hard!#and so is self worth #but we will pull through

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#i used to be pretty intimidated by the idea of having to describe my art but. it isnt as hard as it sounds #i just treat it like im describing an image i dont have at the time really #plus ive been told that even a simple id is better than no id #lev.txt

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be

#not to mention ripping off and plagirazing real artists hard work of course #which is a whole other conversation #i cant feel the same love and adoration for whatever the slop machine produces #it will never be the same #im just really tired #anti ai #anti ai art

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously

#don’t mind me just chewing on drywall #some of the absolute best comics don’t look remotely impressive until you try to make one yourself #and some absolutely beautiful panel layouts and art combine to make a stunning visual that barely manages to get any meaning across #you have to emulate cinematography by cultural necessity at this point #but if you lean too hard in that direction your comics just become Worse Movies #there’s barely any standard practices for anything because people are just barely starting to look at comics seriously #mumbling
