sorry these kinds of comments have been really pissing me off recently lol

#it's been kinda hard for me to pinpoint WHY exactly these sort of comments feel insulting #but i think it's mostly because it implies my original work is purposefully and inherently derivative of things i have no connection to #while i think being derivative in art is. kinda unavoidable in a sense (and something i'm aware i do consciously and unconsciously)#it feels like a slap in the face when people imply that my work cannot hold its own merit and need to be compared to #something in the popular conscious #and like sometimes people don't know it's original art which is fine #but it also doesn't hurt to ask if it's original instead of just. immediately assuming or comparing it to something else #i know this will only get more difficult as i continue to drift away from fanart and fan works #but i really want to be able to be proud of my original work and i want to share more! because it's a part of me!!#but its really hard when it feels like i'm always going to be compared to things people care about more!!!! AAAUGH #god. ok sorry i need to get that off my chest. if anyone compares computer angel to TMA again im gonna start eating drywall #fern's sketchbook

[ID: a digital drawing of riz gukgak from fantasy high. in the front is a relatively small drawing of riz juggling books that are falling out of his hand and a phonecall, and he has a huge backpack on. he looks a bit overwhelmed, hair flying in all directions, and has a nervous smile on. in the background is a large shadow of riz, only one glowing eye and a shining gun visible. the background is red, giving an eerie feel.

Initial drawings of that old man… I literally, I haven’t finished reading the book of bill yet!!! I had to stop and take a break for a week to feverishly draw fanart of myself petting fords floofy hair and giving him attention and shit…!!!! The urge was too great….!! I’ve literally. I had a crush on this guy the instant he was first REVEALED in the show, but I did not have the artistic prowess to draw good looking old men back then… but I do now… thank god… thank fucking god

#gravity falls #ford pines #stanford pines #self ship #self insert #si x canon #it me #doodles #I got a haircut! so my hair looks different now.. as haircuts tend to do lol #anyway… yeah… I LOVE HIM… GRAHHFJH #the confirmation that he rlly is just sad and lonely and insecure and craving attention and validation #OHH FORD BBY.. WE R THE SAME #like… ghghg i loved him already just w his prickly nerdy outer shell but knowing more about the vulnerable center is GREAT. ITS AWESOME #also hes a smart nerdy guy who can do science and expirements and shit which is ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS FOR A CHARACTER TO DO #u kno im all about scientists….#I couldn’t draw ship art back then 1 cuz I didn’t kno how to draw old men and 2 cuz I was like 13 lol… which would have been wierd #but I’m an ADULT NOW. GET OVER HERE FORD #also it didn’t even rlly cross my mind TO draw that stuff cuz even tho I did love ford #self ship and x reader sorta stuff was not NEARLY as popular back then.. like I specifically remember it like. booming in popularity #at some point. but being pretty rare before that. anyway. thank u passage of time and trends and new gravity falls book for introducing #me back to fictional man I love. so I can now draw myself smooching him and shit #hell yeah.#13 is probably not actually correct I do not remember exactly which year fords reveal was in…#but I was probably older then 13.. but still #the point remains lol.#also omg. the bit in the book w the goth moth. ‘ur probably into this sorta thing right?’#I AM INTO THAT SORTA THING FORD. thank u book of bill for being written specifically @ me. the immersion it’s great.#like ur so right ford I AM edgy and goth how’d u guess that tee hee. eyelash flutter #aLSO PLS IGNORE MY FINGER BEING IN FRAME IN THE LAST PIC. I was drawing in a tiny bound sketchbook #so I had to hold the paper down to keep it flat. and. I didn’t feel like censoring my fucking. pinkie finger out of the image

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

#sketchbook #scrapbook #Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at #but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open #image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best #medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a #limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont #know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and #excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines #and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch #pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color #or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being #'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my #outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one #more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page #before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then #was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down #stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and #having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's #a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the #scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol #Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube #face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to #work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time #be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm #(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a #pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

In Time and Stars

#in stars and time #isat #siffrin #josh art tag #been wanting to practice less “literal” drawings....#like people doing a certain thing or being in a certain place or even just standing there #and instead do more like conceptual stuff?? idk how to word it #but i love doing stuff like this #and i feel like i havent done it in a while #i think last time i did was early in the year when i was still really into the Magnus Protocol #and was illustrating lines from each episode #some of which are my best performing art ever lol #i still remember my sibling telling me they had come across my art on their dash and later on their insta explore page #they had apologized since me and my sibs have an agreement to not search for or interact with each other online just for privacys sake #but i found it both funny and kinda insane #was not expecting my art to get big enough to find its way to that sib lol #uuuhhhhh anyway back on topic #ive had this idea of a siffrin illustration where either have their face or the back part of their head being a clock #and i tried a couple drafts in my sketchbook #and ended up liking this one! it had the addition of the shooting star and from then i toyed with the idea of adding the title text #i have another less literal piece for zelda that i wanna do #but i also wanna work on my isat animatic #....and i also wanna play stardew....#i need more hours in the day 😔

Not That #as for the other comic...#aaaaaaaaaargh i do hope i give off a positive vibe despite the everything else #i wanna refresh my wardrobe at some point but no money and also no real direction for where i want to go with my look #the ever terrible challenge of caring about your appearance but not being able to dress how you really want #ah but anyway these have been sitting in my sketchbook and i keep thinking i need to post them and then i forget #so here they are!

blood dripped from Poseidon's mouth, red.

red.

the day they overthrew Kronos, child-eater (stomach acid crawling around them, after maw of teeth grazing his small, child body), his golden ichor bled red.

god blood, degraded into a mortal's.

the day Typhon, father of monsters (as big as their father was, as big as the Titans with sharp claws and teeth) ripped out Zeus' tendons, his blood was red.

Poseidon, god of the tides, son of Kronos, looked up at the dark shape stood above him, his own golden trident in his hand, the teeth like prongs drenched in red.

Odysseus is a mortal. was a human.

sharp webbed ears spread out on the side of their head, scales grew around their neck and arms, shining like a coral reef, illuminated by their growing red eyes, that were shrunken to slits.

Odysseus' teeth glinted in the lightning, showing their unnaturally sharp point.

monster.

#small snippet that i can't develop any further.#this is uh #Ithacan Naga AU #didn't mean to talk about Poseidon's probable trauma with Kronos but here we are. do you think particularly salty or poisoned water reminds #poseidon of stomach acid? do you think the original five olympians are closer knit with each other #from being eaten alive as a child and then growing up in a stomach?#do you think hestia is the goddess of family cause she was the oldest sister and had to care for the others the most? that hades find an un #ealthy comfort in the darkness of the underworld? How do you think stomach acid was for Poseidon; as god of the sea? if that was the closes #he could get to his domain in a /stomach/? The same with demeter? only chewed up food as the closest to agriculture?#do you think hera understood - somehow - that this hurt their mother?#sigh #and all and all Zeus was really only able to lead them so easily afterwards is cause they didn't /know/ what to do after they were freed?#/AND/ Zeus really isn't privy to any of it; cause of course he isn't (nor does he care to know).#didn't mean to rant with that but. yup. anyway #tbh i want to draw a part of this to show the webbed ears w/ head-wings so. yeah. maybe. i'm still getting used to my new drawing tablet an #my sketchbook fell in water a while ago and i've been frozen on how to deal with it. so. yeah.#anyway #600 strike #vengence saga #epic the musical #the vengeance saga #epic the vengeance saga #why do we have so many tags for the same thing ;.)#six hundred strike #odysseus epic #epic odysseus #odysseus #writing #poseidon epic #epic poseidon

I wrote the sentence "All Scott can think of is that skinny kid with the scraped knees arriving home from summer spacecamp, his noodle arms full of freebies and one baby tooth missing from his megawatt grin." in a fic this morning anD

Jeff has this in his wallet

#John Tracy #Thunderbirds Are Go #Thundebirds 2015 #the baBY BOY #lenleg's thunderbirds tag #as a side note the fic i'm writing is John getting his ass kidnapped #we shall see if it ever sees the light of day #I should file this under: things that have been in my drafts folder for 8757528329395 years #do i remember how to draw? barely #yes thats alans face shape i figure john looked more him when he was younger and then ended up a pointy chin lad #lenleg's sketchbook

Some bois (from a show I haven't seen in years) (Also please click for better quality, Tumblr keeps scrunching my pics >_>)

First page:

lil Greg! lil guy

rare portrait of Wirt looking neither worried or exasperated (his face just settles into those expressions so nicely okay)

Greg sees something (what do he see?), and frankly Wirt would rather not investigate (places to be, please)

shading didn't come out quite right, but it was only a matter of time before I tried drawing Wirt looking truly wide-eyed and terrified at something, let's be honest

Second page:

little brother is not quite little enough to be comfortably held by his brother's antlers Dialogue transcription: Wirt: AAAAOWOWOWOWOWOWOW Greg: oops (small arrow pointing to Greg: a little too heavy)

Flower crowns! So many flower crowns!!!

Third page: technically the second page I did, but I wanted to finish the post with it, so here you go; he's a perfectly nice young man, really, just. just a little off. just a bit. he don't bite (probably)

#eggin creatin'#otgw #over the garden wall #otgw fanart #otgw wirt #otgw greg #beast wirt #so first I found an angsty fic #hey that's how I wound up on gravity falls too funny thing that is #anyway of course I grabbed onto the angsty au with both hands #I mean it lets me draw ducked-up characters it's perfect for me #also greg yeah greg I freaking love greg #cutest little bean #also I havn't watched this show since it came out please let me know if there's a place I could watch it #coughcoughpreferablyforfreecoughcough #man I'm feeling rusty ough #haven't been doing. basically anything lately #anyway #I have no idea what happened to the first page? it's all smudged #well I know why it's smudged it's smudged because I was trying to wipe of mystery speckles that I still don't know the origin of #why is that colored beast wirt the first color drawing in my sketchbook #speaking of I do not have yellow ink so. green it was #anyway yeah hope y'all have a good day ^^ thanks for looking!

Inktober Day 26 - Discarded

Once again I've started rereading @post-it-notes7's fic Heart and Soul and am as always having a Wonderful time with it unlike the protagonists

(will probably go back in and add the shading later but for now it's 2am so it's gettin posted!)

#I still plan to do the shading but idk if i'll be able to have it done before october ends since i'm about to fly out for a conference lol #i Might be able to take my sketchbook but i might also just wait to do it some other time when things are less hectic #def do plan to finish it up at some point though #inktober #inktober2023 #meta knight #galacta knight #heart and soul #h&s #do i still need to tag spoilers the relevant chapter has been out for quite a while by this point haha #despite reading the relevant chapter like 2 days ago i couldn't recall if the moon phase was mentioned so feel free to ignore it if I'm off #my art #doodles #drops gk like a sack of flour #he's fine

hiii where are youu:((

Hii @cricricorner :((

I'm so sorry for just disappearing as long as I did! Schools started again for me, which means I'm back to working, and I used the 2 week long school holiday to have some me time and get back into the things I enjoy (Gravity falls, playing COD, baking, drawing non cod things and sleep ins lol). My motivation for drawing has also just plummeted to the floor and I'm trying to get that back and into my life fully again!

Sorry again for disappearing, my drawing posts may come in big waves or very here and there rn :(💕
