if someone is inspired by how you draw eyes or face shapes, or fabric folds, and they incorporate that into their style practice is that stealing from you and makes you uncomfortable? i know different artists have different boundaries and id like to stay within yours! so sorry that people have been copying you so much

no this is fine, especially since I myself draw eyes and faces and such in a variety of ways ^_^ and even then it wouldn't look exactly like "mine".

I wish there was a way to beam what I'm trying to get across into everyone's minds... I am not going to come after you for drawing mushroom eyes or wide headed funny snouted beasts or whatever...

Being super inspired by others is a Good Thing, I "steal" from others to get a better understanding of art all the time, I sift through the little things and details I like and feed them to my own work, where it's swallowed up and absorbed into its body and output, because you have to try really hard to do complete and direct emulation of somebody else's work, and most of the time that's not what people do or even want to do, at least not long term. Which is also kind of my point!

(In fact I've also seen lots of ppl heavily inspired by me (<- this is fine, we're mutuals or they literally told me about it) who have art better than mine like DAMN wtf did you need me for 😭 good for them good for them.

I've also had people apologize for stealing my style and then I look at their art and I don't see it at all bc everyone draws different and has their own brain that sees the world differently...its literally ok. This is how art is Made. If "cheye's" eyes and face shapes and folds, cobbled together from many before him, get you further into your own art and joy of it then make it so)

Off Leash

I'm going FERAL over all the new My Chem content that's been coming out lately. I love that we got to see some of the characters that we've already seen and I love the fan theories even more. Forgive me for forgetting the name of the OP, but someone said that the red suit look Gerard wore on tour once might be The Dictator and that really stuck with me and inspired this piece. This might be a prediction, maybe a manifestation, but mostly just a reminder of what fate any and all dictators deserve.

Also halfway thought working on this drawing I realized how much it resembles Humbug's Demolition Lovers piece - one of my favorite MCR pieces everrrr

“But this is not that king, nor is this his song.”

Aegon, inspired by this portrait of Stephen of Blois. Drawing by my friend. They also wrote some meta about it, under the cut. The quote is from The Green Knight (2021).

“His name should be “the Unfortunate.” Or, perhaps, “the Unready.”

In his behaviours, crimes and heroics, he feels like a quintessential local king. I have too little care for the ethics of feudalism to pretend that one bleached flea is more moral than another, I am not going to justify this fictional fool or any of his fellow ticks on the bodies of kingdoms.

I like his story though. The way he viciously rejects his heritage and embraces it at the same time, more Andal than Valyrian who still holds the strongest bond with the physical manifestation of Valyrian ideas, something that both upholds and discredits their predatory traditions. A king doomed by others to become a king, the one who doesn’t want to rule but grows into it to the point of giving his all. He’s ready to fight and burn among his people when they show him loyalty but turns cruel and unstable when they defy him. His future is bleak, his past is disgusting. Remember those lines in The Green Knight film? “Is this all there is?” - “What else ought there to be?” He’s not Gawain, of course. Please give me Plato’s number, I’m going to telephone him to hear his hot take on this shit.

But I find a pleasant fatalism in that he’s not only chosen by his family to play a role of a contender, those who then wash their hands of it, but also in how his story comes from a faux chronicle of events long gone, done and decided, a story that might be tweaked here and there, but will not be rewritten. It’s almost like he is aware in a fun way that he is long doomed—and tries to flee unsuccessfully, cowardly, violently even, only to be brought back into the cycle that must continue like the chains on his neck. They imply Rhaenyra is one of the prophecies, but him fleeing his destiny and fitting it so well resembles one of the many doomed kings from the old tales, the crowned blaze in the shape of a man doomed to face his grim fate no matter how far he has gone to escape it. But he is not that king. His song seems of a different breed. The unwilling and unworthy man cursed with the scourge of greatness. I think he should die in a public mass cannibalism incident.”

#this is lovely 🥰#I raise you 13/mels or fugitive Doctor/mels tho 👀 (tags via @jennyandvastraflint )

Mels says she’s a weapon, trained and conditioned for one purpose. She ditched a place called Leadworth when her tech detected Artron energy, because she couldn't miss a chance to kill the Doctor.

The Doctor doesn’t intend to die, but Mels seems sad, so she listens.

To stories of crushing loneliness, of escaping terrible places, of parents who mustn't know they’re her parents…

Of memory-tampering from her handlers, leaving her more frightened each time.

That one hits home.

The Doctor wishes she could trade her own stories, but Mels is a tank filled with secrets; bursting open in the presence of a perceived stranger. Anyone could see she has drowned alone for too long.

The last thing she needs is someone to kill.

He knows her as soon as he sees her.

Time Lords always do — when they’re looking. And by Rassilon, he has been looking. Afraid of what he’ll find. Afraid he can’t both save Pond’s baby and the naughty friend he loves.

He didn't recognize the child, but then, he hadn’t yet felt how time courses through River's veins. But now — now he can see.

Mels. Melody. The only water in the forest. His bespoke psychopath. His convicted murderer lover, intact. He failed to save the child.

A smile floods his face, and he runs towards her with open arms.
