sometimes i assume that amazing writers just Know that they’re amazing and they don’t need to hear it. like that fic was brilliant, they have to know that it was brilliant and rivals fucking jane austen, there’s no way they don’t know this shit is pure art. but i don’t think i’m ever convinced my work is any good, even when i reread stuff and i’m like damn that was kind of neat. so i think even if a writer knows they write something great, they probably need to hear it from someone else anyway.

#artists need to hear it too #that’s something else i forget #which is why i’m going through all of my likes and reblogging old stuff #just to make sure these brilliant minds know how incredible they are #idk i’m feeling sappy thoughts about the beauty in people who create things #୨⎯ sol habla ☼

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

oh btw. my goal is to make every single tmp character midsized or larger. im fighting the twink agenda. now that the canon diversity is on par with last series' fan designs, i've got to escalate. they r all big now

#colin is a bear #sam is a cub but dw he's on the journey to beardom #uh um alice is rlly tall and broad <3 #im working on the others i'll get to it i swear #tmp #tmagp #'but cael dont thin people need representation too?'#shut up /nm #they have so many other artists doing thinner designs #im hear for the bears and the butches #also the fat femmes and anything in between ofc #also the twink agenda thing was a joke

Time for more eternal gales isat au, this time featuring Sier as Isabeau, creating a sprite I can never use next to Aris’ because despite my best efforts it would make them look tall

#keese draws #eternal gales #oc #oc art #isat #in stars and time #this one didn’t take nearly as long as the aris one but I think I suffered for it more from the clothes alone #siffrin made me forget I suck at drawing clothes rip #this was also harder because of how much trickier it was to try and adapt siers design to feel fitting enough for my standards #they have a very stylized design compared to most of the others #I kind of took the lazy route out by keeping most of their original shapes in tact but it’s fine #sier in this au would serve the needed role of emotionally intelligent bestie who is also too scared to cross boundaries to do much #but despite this I do think they’d actually get the suspicion quest in this au #mostly because mase is a furry artist not a nerd and sier would be more likely to look at aris and go bro. are you in a fucking timeloop.#it also differs in that aris doesn’t yell at sier abt it instead looping before they can finish because she can’t handle hearing them be #right on the money about this thing that she thought she was handling perfectly #she doesn’t want to fail them she doesn’t want them to realize she’s failed them she doesn’t want to be a burden she doesn’t want them to #‘realize’ they’re better off without her #aris is Incredibly resistant to accepting help on most serious issues because shes convinced that it’s her responsibility to deal with it #by herself and that if she can’t then she’s a failure and worse than useless #I mean in canon eternal gales she literally loses her eye and arm because of that #in this au she just lost them how sif lost his eye but she still has. complexes abt all that.#but yeah sier also differs wildly from isa in many Many other ways as does the rest of the cast from their assigned characters #for sier they rly aren’t the jock of the group at all instead being more of the guy who keeps the mood lighthearted at all times lest they #die of stress because the others haven’t said anything in a whole 30 seconds #aka they’re the self assigned peacekeeper who doesn’t actually need to constantly keep the peace because no one’s fighting but they still #feel like they need to so they dance and dance and dance for their friends until they collapse from exhaustion #metaphorically ofc #this is why they’re both terrified to confront aris when she starts acting a bit fucked up but also why they still do sometimes anyways #they talk abt this a lil bit in their friend quest as they talk abt how they want to change but are scared to

little addendum to my last post.. since i'm in a pokemon phase atm I felt like checking in on my old dead deviantart page and uh

2015 vs 2024

9 years of art improvement wheee

#very convenient for me that i've drawn fennekin twice across a decade. the little fox baby just keeps coming back to me #i am so embarrassed of the older one and that's all that needs to be said #but also hey. beginner artists if any follow me. if you hear something telling u to do the black airbrush shading that's the devil speaking #you'll learn faster and get sm better results by looking at refs and challenging urself to block it in with a bit of trial and error #or you know just ignore me and have fun! but that's my unsolicited art advice for the day #i mean i got the shading wrong on the 2024 one too. the tail is Behind her it shouldn't have that much light on it compared to on her body #but it still looks nicer right :')

Wine stains on porcelain

(Alternatively: @katkastrofa and I have created 5 OCs in 3 days and I suffer from chronic “I wanna draw the little guysssssss” disease)

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #original characters #I have not figured out a tag system yet so for now this is all they’re getting #their names are liba and abyan and I’m very much obsessed :)#they’re the children of two of our other newest OCs. Himman and Summiya #the latter of whom just happens to be Zaheer’s older sister #but he ran away from home years before these two were born so he most likely isn’t even aware of their existence #I mean. I’m sure he suspects his sisters had children. but that’s the extent of what he knows #anyway #quite a few headcanons came to mind as I was drawing so I’m gonna type them out while I can still function #(haven’t slept for two nights in a row. I’m starting to doubt whether I’m actually alive or not)#Liba is older by about a year but once they grow up a little it’s barely noticeable and people assume they’re twins #over time they stop bothering to correct them because really. they’re so close they might as well be #they were both burn with port wine stain birthmarks on their faces. much to their mother’s dismay #she has a whole perfectionism complex and needed her children to reflect that to maintain the family image #thus they were taught how to hide the marks early on. but the powder makes them constantly sneeze #liba is very self conscious about it bc of what her mother put in her head. Abyan less so bc while he’s expected to be perfect #his future doesn’t depend on his looks. he always tries to comfort his sister whenever she spirals too deep. no matter that she’s older #when no one is around to hear he calls her Lili <3 it annoyed her at first so she dubbed him Yanyan in retaliation #but over time they both grew to love the nicknames and now use them unironically #they’re the ultimate partners in crime. their goal? gaining as much freedom from their mother as possible #and sooner or later they will manage to do so permanently. which will make Summiya fall apart. but that is currently Kat’s domain #speaking of. hi Kat. I know you’ve already seen this in pencil but look! I coloured them!!#the birthmarks were both kinda annoying and rather fun to do. maybe I’ll change them later. I was too tired to look at refs so I improvised #and there’s no detail in clothing since again. 0 energy whatsoever. but once I refine their full body designs I shall go all out #that reminds me I need to go collect my new sketchbook. might do it on the way home from the store #okay I’m getting distracted. is this my very unsubtle way of trying to influence Kat to write that Summiya fic?#maybe. maybe not. you can’t prove anything 😁

I need 8 tattoos IMMEDIATELY

#I miss getting tattooed every 4 months!! I haven’t been able to afford it in a year now 😔#hear me out I wanna get:#-forearm piece from my fav artist. probably a bat (would have to travel this one)#-additions to the bat leg sleeve including a cute little floral piece and maybe a big woodcut style piece coming up to my hip #-a piece or two filling out the space on my left arm. maybe a critter skull? maybe some creepy flowers or plants?#-something on my torso. anything at all #-strawberries… somewhere…#and after I’ve had top surgery I’m gonna get a bat on my chest and something on my stomach #I need neck tats eventually too #might hold off on shoulders until my collar is done #space and all #anyways. my skin is supposed to be a work of art I fucking crave it so bad #maybe this is why I’ve been so set on burning the stars and dots into myself lmao #craving the permanent pretty markings #let me Be Art #batty posts

After that quest I have SO many thoughts about Sethos omggg

#◜✧ . ❪ muse. sethos. ❫#I'll need to actually form them into coherent sentences before posting them all on here though #Might take a day or two to allow more people the chance to play Cyno's 2nd story quest... and then I'll post My Thoughts #What I CAN say right now is that I LOVE Sethos and to an equal extent I love his and Cyno's dynamic... it leaves so much room to wiggle!!#In true Chris fashion I am also going to take some artistic license for my Sethos on some minor matters... man #I can't wait for him to be released so I can hear his voicelines and go batshit rabid over those too!!!

annoying people love telling you it's your fault if a book is confusing and boring

#this dude goes 'i dont like books where physical actions are unclear' and everyone in his comments is calling him a little bitch 😭#im not gonna take it too personally but i also am having a bad time with this book #the autistic/asexual combo is kicking my ass. what do you MEAN you were describing rape. none of those words you wrote meant that!!#why the fuck can a single character not go 6 minutes without thinking about sex. stop raping cows! i want to hear about the ghost!!#im gonna read something else for a bit then try to come back because it's not the book's fault #that i thought it was a ghost story where the ghost was actually the way america traumatizes but also is a real ghost #and instead is a book about how sex is the universal motivation for every person to ever live (<- what)#ughhhhhhhhhh i should also stop trying to get into my professors' favorite artists #every single author actor director a professor has gushed about Sucked To Me so bad #and thats fine everyone likes different things #says kenna #this is about beloved by toni morrison btw #ive read another of her books that was also fucking confusing as hell but i liked it well enough but it was about topics that didnt need #to be handled as vaguely and delicately as in this book #maybe also i should turn and run if i see a book described as a classic bc ive liked exactly two of the hundreds of classics ive read lol

#sry I need to vent more abt my tattoo pain bc I physically cannot do anything productive rn im completely and totally incapacitated #can’t read anything beyond short posts or texts. can’t eat or move at all #tried to sleep through it so it would at least Be Tomorrow so I can get medical help. but the jolts of pain make me like Jump #hence me being sent home from work early today like it’s not even that I was complaining I was just flinching involuntarily so much #and was unable to work or function at all. thank god I don’t work retail rn I remember the pain of tattoo infections in that context #it’s so Abrupt it feels like I’m being stabbed or repeatedly bitten #literally trying not to scream bc I have a roommate. but he almost certainly hears me crying and saying ouch #which sucks bc I barely know the guy lol he has no context. At least on my drive home I could scream as much as I needed #literally would go to the ER if I could afford it and that sounds so dramatic bc it is #it doesn’t feel like it can wait. genuinely don’t know how I’m gonna get through the night #I haven’t slept in like 60 hours and I doubt I will tonight. but it hurts too much to even tell if I’m tired #and I don’t have time for this!! I have so much I need to be doing. I hate that the only way I can have Time is to be Extra Disabled #in a way that leaves me completely unable to do the things I normally can fight through despite burnout #and I was just at health services yesterday asking them to do insurance paperwork that they couldn’t do #it’s embarrassing having to be like hey I was just there but can I come back #I have Another tattoo infection but I pinky promise I take such good care of them #and my artist is like the best of the best too. it’s like it doesn’t matter what either of us does to keep me safe #and I know if anyone responds to this it will be to tell me to stop getting tattoos #but that’s literally like telling me not to get top surgery if I’m immunocompromised n might have recovery complications #both are equally important gender affirming medical procedures to me I’m not joking #and I hate always having to justify this whilst in agonizing pain. I hate answering the same things every time bc still no one believes me #I say this as someone who lives every moment in baseline pain that would have your average person writhing on the floor and I ignore it #this is truly unbearable if I hadn’t been through it a million times I would think it was life threatening #just needed to get it out ig. bc it’s all I can physically do. until health services opens in 12 hours #PLEASE let them have availability tomorrow bc i have literally no option on weekends #this is just. so upsetting and embarrassing. I don’t have time or emotional capacity for this #personal #mine #vent post

#every time every freakin time I decide to trust the secondary artist to do clean up on my layouts i am punished #i tell them every time 'my work is a guideline for you. you need to go in and fix it for your final art'#and then they send me back a file where the shading layer is the blocks and imprecise lines based on my sketch #so I have to go and clean it myself and redo a bunch of stuff #and then I just get to hear “oh wow their art is sooo good they've gotten so much better!”#staring into the camera like in the fucking office you guys know how much visual information i have to give them im drawing the entire sket #and when they go off my sketch and draw their own stuff it doesnt look right but When I say im going to ask for a revision they are like #'oh youre focusing too much on it'#HUH whAT am I NOT BEING PAID TO MAKE SURE THE ART LOOKS GOOD #i swear #okay deep breaths im fine im normal time do go shade a background i guess #wild ramblings

dca unseelie fae...au??

been seeing really neat aus with the daycare attendant as cryptid creatures and i love all of them, they have been put in my pocket but hear me out..... the daycare attendant as a fae creature. not a fairy, exactly, but more nature-y silly guys who trap unknowing humans into deals. they could have the classic fae properties of being inhumanly beautiful and also be unable to tell a lie. sun and moon (and eclipse) could be unseelie court fae and just hear me out hear me out they could look a little something like this

#artist: kipineart on tumblr #HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT PLEASEEEEEEEEE #i need my boys to be a little creepy and very whimsical #brainrot could not be contained in the server #daycare attendant #fnaf the daycare attendant #sun fnaf #fnaf moon #unseelie fae au #?? i have too many aus man i need to stop #<------ is not stopping #yn? yn will show up later i swear #i have a basic plot outline and everything
