#bit of a rare piece

If it is ok to ask, how much time does your art take in total, more specifically the rendering?
This is gonna sound like a very generic answer lol, but it tends to vary piece to piece!
If it helps though, I try to always show the total time that each individual part of the drawing process (sketch, ink, color) took in real-time in all of my speedpaints, so if you want to know exactly how long the rendering (/colouring) took for any piece on my channel, you should see it written in the bottom-right-corner of the video! (^^)/
#daily dork#i do always try to outpace myself when im able and get faster at parts of the process like rendering#but inevitably i will always get lost in the sauce and end up taking very random amounts of time for fully-rendered pieces#especially because they sometimes require a lot of redrawing midway through when stuff looks wonky#so rendering isnt always the final uninterrupted step#which makes it a bit hard to figure out an average for haha#disclaimer i am sometimes not as precise with measuring my timings for sketchbook session pieces#but those are rarely fully rendered anyhow lol 😅

since i've seen others talking about this, as someone who writes predominately lengthy fics (5k+ words), what annoys me the most is that i've seen so many people on tumblr & tiktok specifically say "i hate when writers have too much build-up and don't get straight to the smut, i just skip to it." ???? writers spend HOURS on pieces like that, and to find out you don't really care is very disheartening & is quite literally going to kill not only writing on these platforms but literature as a whole
#ppl on booktok getting upset when there's no smut in a book or it doesn't compare to the fics they've read ://#personally i don't like smut unless i care DEEPLY about the characters and to see that those are the most widely recommended books rn#pains me a little bit#and i write long pieces bc i enjoy them but#to know that people might just skip straight to the smut is upsetting#fics longer than 2k words rarely get many notes on this platform which is so sad bc that is where people get the most opportunity#to showcase their skills

wasn’t able to doodle as much as I'd like to lately from projects (and totally bc I didn’t get absorbed into a rarepair which i may or may not post later) but here’s my take on a hypothetical ancestor for lance on his appreciation week! a grandpa who has a lot of gyarados theming around him 🐉🌊
#kagoodles#ChampionLanceWeek2023#champion lance#lance pokemon#a bit of clair (blue hair + ponytail) a bit of lance (the spikes + the eye color and gsc shoulder pad things) its their peepaw!!!#honestly. stumped on a name for hypothetical peepaw#my first thought was Sloe based on the blackthorn berry (and it’s gin is even a red color) but I’m still workshopping it#also kudos to the hc of lance being the shiny gyarados of the family that’s just canon to me now#peepaw got a prosthetic hand bc training ain’t easy but kindness is not without effort#but he’s chill and gets along with a lot of village kids#he's a guy who would have a bunch of stories to tell people and draws a lot of crowds for it#in a game setting he'd be like. funny mentor who's also one of the big late game opponents to overcome as a test of strength#otherwise he'd probably give the player a funny item of importance or just something out of the blue like a rare candy or a star piece#“you like candy kiddo? so do pokemon! why not spread the fun around? :D”

LISTEN TO M#I’m actually curious to see what is even CONSIDERED a rare pair in the first place#Like.

How do you plan out your stories? Do you come up with what will happen ahead of time or do you just go with whatever your sims are doing?
uhmmm.. i don't 😆
i've recently fully planned and written a short story ahead of time and it's reminded me why i don't do it.. like the outline is fun to do and i know the end result will be too, but the in between stuff seems to take foreverrrr and i kinda get bored and hate it lmao i prefer short bursts of planning and executing so like rn i have this lil camping trip then i think Robin will go back to school (i only have basic notes on this tho) then it'll be my Halloween special then a surprise! (again not even basic notes on this one skdjskj) then who knows 🤷♀️
i usually have a rough idea where i'm going and how character growth will go over time but how we're gonna get there i've no idea! i don't plan ahead very far at all and even when i do it's basic notes or brain rot ideas/scenes.. most of what i come up with is just me playing dolls in my head 🤸♀️
#ranswers#it's nice to know i CAN plan smth now i guess#but i kinda hate how restrictive it is#like u gotta sit there n map it all out with no wiggle room for random things that pop into ur head n shit like uuuugh#i rarely plan and that's what works for me ig#i don't rlly go off what sims are doing much either other than the odd bits n pieces like trait stuff or whatever#cos if u leave em to it tooooo much it reminds u how little personality sims 4 sims have#🙈#tldr; not much planning here.. we're mostly just coasting on vibes and brain rot

I saw a post about this and now I’m curious…
It can sometimes take a lot of searching to find a specific dress listing that’s not missing the sleeves or neckties… but it can also be hard to keep track of those parts in your closet!
Detachable parts such as waist ties, sleeves, neck ties, pin-on bows, brooches, ribbon ties, collars, overskirts, etc. If you bought something as a special set (ex: JSK and hair bow that were only sold as a set, not separately) and then lost part of the set, feel free to also mark yourself as ‘yes’. If you bought it with the pieces already missing, that does not count unless you yourself then also lost more pieces.
I’m also curious what people’s thoughts/practices are on storage of detachable pieces- I have a friend who stores all waist ties separately in a special drawer, whereas I keep them attached to the dresses, but often end up storing detachable bows in their own box. What do you guys do?
#lolita fashion#egl fashion#lolita community#egl community#sweet lolita#classic lolita#gothic lolita#mine#poll#also please leave in the replies/tags how long you’ve been in lolita!#since obviously people who have been around longer have had more chances to lose things…#I’ve never lost parts myself but have bought a few items now that were missing parts :(#it always makes me a bit sad and I try to replace them if I can. if it’s just like… plain colored waist ties or white sleeves that’s doable#but unique parts I just won’t buy the item unless it’s massively rare or a dream piece#I spent so long looking for the IW strawberry field OP because every listing I found was missing the neck ties!!#which are a main feature of the dress for me >:(

« to the stray dogs »
#and to the second stray dogs anniversary of yours truly 🥃#bsdrewatch2023#bsd#dark era#technically 2 years and 10 days of having dived headfirst into bsd. but who's counting. aight story time#dark era is so special. somehow it always reminds me of the first time i watched bsd#5 eps in i thought to myself... huh. dad (huge animation & big-brained stuff fan) would love to watch this too#and he did. so every saturday i'd go over to his place and binge as many eps as we could until we finished it a month or so later#and the part i felt he liked most was dark era bc he was HOOKED- and i was overjoyed.#(i.e. he's a Lot of fun to be around when he's interested in something. the wonder is palpable)#not even the 'woah dostoyevsky!?!? bit got him quite like dark era did and it's such a fond memory to me#maybe bc it was the longest of our rare watch parties and the weekly anticipation was real. maybe bc i found my favorite piece of media-#-and the circumstances certainly played a part... yeah. unforgettable#<- when you need an actual post for the ramble so you whip up a phone gif and it looks reasonably crisp?? huh#tldr how was YOUR first time watching bsd?#*edits#*gifs

Some 80s Hatter Sistes moments/headcanons from my fanfiction WIP
"When Martha was even younger (although in Sophie's eyes that meant being the most of a baby), her favourite thing to do was to sit right next to Lettie, in front of the window, asking Sophie to hold her on her lap and list the things she had seen that day. These undoubtedly long lists included dozens of crows, a hundred friendly smiles, and at least one cake from Caesari, a bakery chain known throughout the city and several coastal villages. Her voice sounded so iridescent and inspiring that Sophie thought that if she looked out the window, she would see hundreds of bars of pure gold, and not a bakery. Lettie, on the other hand, was always gazing out at the river at the edge of the pier — wiser in those years, she always asked her older sister when she would be able to see the sea up close. She knew that it was mostly Sophie's dream, and that made her sigh even heavier."
"In order to stay together and look after their father's condition, each of the three sisters went to the same small school on the outskirts of the city, where an old, tired middle school teacher kept repeatedly highlighting Martha's talent for the sciences. At that time, Lettie would indiscriminately raise her hand to answer every question, while Sophie would sit quietly at the back of the class, deep in a book or darning another handkerchief."
"Martha had brought at least a dozen dresses, recipes and books with every possible inscription, struggling to fit them into the two small suitcases she had chose for herself. Sophie tried to help her by pushing down on the lid of the suitcase from above, causing it to slam shut with a dull protesting sound. Lettie sorted out her own belongings quite quickly, and it seemed that all her clothes could easily fit into one small, narrow square. Sophie walked over to her thoughtfully, looking around her, as she had brought only a single sewing book and two grey dresses."
"...Lettie and Martha instantly started a battle over who would sit by the window, nudging and jostling like kids. This problem was quickly resolved by Sophie's hand, which took the seat herself, instantly silencing the sisters."
"Just around the corner were bicycle racks, which Sophie had never been able to ride anyway: Martha had been trying to persuade Fanny to buy her a bike or skates from the colourful brochures for a long time, but their mother had always mumbled something about how they didn't sell them in their town."

The hardest thing about being a former vegetarian is that most meat still grosses me out, so there are only certain kinds that I can eat.
But my dad does all the cooking, so there are several nights where he makes meat that makes me physically ill to eat, but I feel horrible saying anything because I don’t want to hurt this feelings, so I keep quiet
#bit into a piece of med-rare steak and it was a little stringy and almost threw up#steak is my nemesis I just can’t#I am no longer hungry tho so I guess a slay for me getting skinny

GQ Magazine is really good so long as you don't read it.
#I enjoyed Ricky Martin's interview#but everything they write regarding fashion rubs me wrong#''Find a rare piece of name brand clothing in a resale shop that doesn't fit? Take it to a tailor!''#''The blue-collar icon of American spirit is hitting new fashion heights! Also... buy these 545$ gold-toned jeans!''#:/ oh this magazine was NOT made for me#but I do like the pictures#and let's be honest... I mostly bought it for the pictures#and it has encouraged me to be a bit more adventurous with my fashion so there's that at least#Edit: 200$ bedazzled crocs?????

So over a year ago, I had the pleasure of finding the TARDIS Tin that was made to promote the TV Movie back in 1996. Some of the contents weren't the original versions- the screening tickets are replicas, as well as the jelly babies.
(Plus a Fox promotion card, seen on the far left of the bottom photo.)
The set of photos (first seen in 2022) were extras to go with the listing. However, the two other photos (on the right) are legit, actually from the original kit.
The press notes are also the og copy as well. I do believe the VHS is the real version, but the case was remade.
Ah, love little, rare treasures from the TV Movie. Little bits of Who history that make my heart squeal.
If you want closer photos of any of the items, feel free to ask!
#it was a bit of an investment as the TARDIS tin is extremely rare#not alot were made to promote the film#and i think they were given to certain companies? I'm not sure#the first few pieces of eight related merch#a wonder to behold#I'm in too deep#haha!!!#doctor who#eighth doctor#grace holloway#roberts!master#doctor who the tv movie#collecting

literally I have not written this much in the span of a couple weeks since like. mid high school. so around 7-8 years ago. what has this show done to me
#it’s not like I haven’t been super into other stuff over the course of that time yet nothing spurred me to write like This#I used to in late middle school / early high school for a fandom I will not mention except. way way more. like I had an unfinished fic over#100k words. and that was just one fic#but. anyway SINCE then nothing’s motivated me to write this much except. well. you know#I think part of it has something to do with the fanbase being so new and active#I rarely get into things that are new enough or popular enough to have much of a fanbase to encourage me to write more / post more#so this is nice#anywayyyy yeah I just finished the second chapter of don’t you want me and both chapters combined are 10k. I am not even halfway done#I’m worried I’m dragging it out way too much and people are gonna get bored#cause the Fun Stuff will really start to go down in chapter 4#I guess we’ll see. it’s not as popular as my first (oneshot) fic which is a bit disappointing but I suppose inevitable#I’m not feeling that confident about my writing/plot on this piece honestly but. we keep truckin#rambling#oh yeah and for reference. I’ve probably written like 30Kish words worth of stuff in the past two weeks or so

I fuckin.. I need I need my art to be better man..
I need it to be looser, i need more Life, more Energy, more Colour!!!!! more Stylization!!!!!!! more SHAPES!!!!!! Mood Mood and Tone and Feeling!!!!!!!!!!
and less whatever weird archaic constraints I am holding from Highschool that I can't seem to shake off
I need to Break It a little bit, I need to Bend it until it Sings again..
#Monster noises#unlike my usual Art Gripe posts this one isn't about me looking at my art and seeing something Mediocre#it's me looking at the Objectively Technically Successful thing I'm working on/recently posted and Feeling Nothing From It#and I mean sure we'll chalk a little bit of that up to the depression#cause whether or not I'm feeling Things about the stylization of my work I Should be more giddy than I am#about the husbands finally getting Nasty#outside of just my brain space#but putting that aside the point remains#I'm disappointed by the pieces (and many of my recent pieces and many pieces going back years) lack of Dynamism#I want to capture what the Feeling in image is more than an actual Depiction of the Thing if that makes sense?#Poses should be Pushed#Anatomy eskewed for Shape and expression#but I always always Always Shrink Back#I get to a point and I start thinking 'this looks wrong' and I pull back#I pull back to try and make it look 'right'#and end up reducing it to something...#not Stiff#but limp?#metaphysically Limp#Lacking in the evocative expression I wanted it to have#can you /feel/ the arch of his back like a melody in the back of your head?#or is he just like.. clearly arching his back like a human person would#there's a tacit difference and I am disappointment how rarely I hit the mark on the former#and this is an Old thing and Old old thing#that started in highschool#a long-term bad chain of experiences with a friend and trying to learn to be better artists together#not understanding my needs and how my brain works and trying to fit in a very specific hole i didn't want to fit in#and being chastised for it (though the slight was probably more Received than Intended)#what broke me out of that last time#and kept me from giving up drawing basically
