One of my first digital pieces (2010) versus one of my recent ones (2024)
We all start somewhere!
#picked these cause they're in a similar pose lol. i mean not at all. but sort of... more than my other art at least...#oh fuck im so tired im saving this to drafts and coming back later#my anxiety meds wipe me the fuck out so im trying not to take them in the day#and they're like legit borderline a sleeping med for me. i take one and in 30 mins im OUT.#so I'm. i mean i was already only taking 1-2 in the day and then 2-3 at night#anyways it makes me sad when people say they dont have an artistic bone in their body#and especially when they say they could never draw like me :(#dont put yourself down to lift me up! i don't want my art to be used for you to be mean to yourself!!!#lots of experiences of people comparing themselves to me and being mean to themself...#feels bad. it's okay if you're slow it's okay to be learning it's okay!!!#I'm me and you're you and we're here to learn from each other. i just wanna hang out..#y'know what I'm just gonna post without saying anything i WILL forget I made a draft#i have so many things i intend to post and then forget#it's a wonder I post anything#i only do it when i get bored. and run out of stuff to scroll through#like whelp. guess if i want a post I have to make one myself.#also the second one is really good idc that it's a study i still drew it#art growth#this was in 2010 btw#i started highschool in 2011#I've grown a lot and you can too.#also I've never really been one to dislike my old art. like idk I was trying... if it's bad I just won't look at it whatever#like i wouldn't be mean to someone else who made that so i don't get a free pass to be mean just cause it's to me#man my thoughts are bungled. okay sleep time#if my phone made typos you didn't see it

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

MORE HAPRER PLEATHE HES SO FINE
youve asked this at such a good time because i had just had a harper design explanation idea and i wasnt sure if i should make it or not:
#im sorry i didnt do something more serious i tried to thats what ive been doing for the past since you sent this ask but. i couldnt#im sorry but feel free to send another ask and itll take me longer to get to it but ill draw something serious next time promise#my art#asks#harper the doctor#dol#anonymouse#sorry its not my usual style for this blog#just couldnt get it right with the other things#i also had to make like 4 new brushes because my old ones didnt feel right anymore#sigh. such is the life i lead#because i do think the side bun is cute but i do Not think harper would settle for that if there wasnt a good reason#my reasoning is that. harper cant tie their hair#please clap#im trying to find what this looks like though but i cant#but i swear one of these panels looks exactly like something ive drawn before#i just cant put my finger on it#maybe it was a sketch i deleted or something i have no idea#EDIT: found it it was a sketch on whiteboard my friend took a screenshot of#i dont feel right putting this in the dol tags because this is literally nothing. something that only applies to my design of harper#but i do want to keep my blog sorted :(

got asked to draw two of my old wc rp ocs :-) left is cicadahop, right is scallopstar
#my art#wc oc#squints. its been a dogs age since ive posted anything wc oc related#oc#BUT YA!!!! these guys are old. i think i made cicadahop 2018-2019 but i could be wrong/i have no way of checking haha#and scallopstar was made 2020.? i think? both are vaaastly different#if i were to play them today i think id keep a lot of things the same for cicada. shes just a silly girl who wants to make friends and#and be kind. as for scallopstar. i think id change a lot#one reason: ive gotten a lot better (I HOPE) with storytelling now that ive been playing dnd for a well over a year#and since i also run two different campaigns. two: i have more experience writing a character with an arc that turns them into a villain#three: i was really going through it at the time so. erm. LMFAO plus i was like 16 so ANDKJFGNJDFHBGJH#but yeah!!! kinda crazy looking at my old art and seeing how much ive improved#also a weird feeling to draw them again but not a Bad weird feeling. been doing a lot of reminiscing#thank god we can copy/paste tags bc if i had to rewrite this all id be so sad HAHA#the crop was weird so i wanted to fix it before it was too late lol#since these 2 are ocs im not gonna indicate this was a request the same way i will with the other requests lol

literally the mere thought of having to draw his old design was enough for me to finish 9 other drawings ive been avoiding for 2 years... and i ended up completely overhauling his design cause i just did not want to draw him that badly lol
#t talks#my art#my ocs#character design#original character#see if you dont want to draw your own character. that bad!#and you should change them. so you want to draw them 1 billion times :)#also sidenote. if i look at my old art for even 3 seconds. i will die#also sorry for posting the same drawing over n over again today#i was just so unhappy with his design for so long now. n even more unhappy cause i couldnt avoid drawing him anymore#and redesigns usually take like 100 tries before i become even slightly happy#so the fact i decided to redesign him today And got a design i loved on the first try??? im big happy bruh#but also if i have to look at that old drawing one more time im going to throw up

OH WAIT I FORGOT TO POST THIS!
I title this: Smoking is cool and all 7 year olds should try it.
My DND OC Violet (shadow monk/rogue) in a baseball pinup sort of vibe, I'm obsessed with her. Heavily inspired by my time in the TF2 fandom and a certain type of scout art.
Violet hits things with a stick until they die too, so it kinda fits lmao. I may do more inspired by other TF2 classes? We will see.
ID in alt text
#dnd#dungeons and dragons#ocs#tf2#illustration#feel free to reblog :)#listen. we dont need to talk about how i never considered baseball sexy poses until i indulged in scout art.#i am a product of my hyperfixations there is no denying that#also you can tell by how i draw Violet that i am an ass man. its hard to have your art tell you that#VERY proud of how the smoke came out; ive never rendered smoke before but it look great IMO#also if it wasn't extremely clear; the phalic imagery was very intentional. she got that metaphorical big dick#i think this is the first time ive drawn her in 'modern' clothes. very funny#ALSO i tried a new trick to make the color more harmonious and i like it. everything is tinged a little blue and it makes everything meld#also; what is she sitting on? fuck you; a nondescript cube#one last thing: ive given up posting to my old art blog; im just gonna post stuff hefe since i draw so infrequently#and reblog to my OC blog when applicable#kay bye like and reblog pls *kisses*

:D (I ramble in my tags about this)
#shuichi iguchi#shigaraki tomura#mha spinner#bnha spinner#spinaraki#spinneraki#ok now that the tags are out of the way LETS TALK#i was reading a webtoon when female lead did that whole laugh and cover it with your hand thing and i do it sometimes too#and i got to thinking about WHY and why its usually girls depicted as such and i know some people dont like their teeth/smile#and im like well shut the fuck up! im thinking fem spinner!!! like being self conscious about how she looks and developing it on accident#and shigaraki never really noticing until one day she DOES and wow spinner looks really pretty when she laughs and why does she hide it#like damn!!! i have a lot of thoughts about what spinner but female and the changes that would have on the character and why and agdjfkflg#ANYWAYS someone stop me from regressing to the old way i used to do hair bc its too damn time intensive but its so easy to zone out during#fem shigaraki#fem spinner#was going to properly do the background but i got done after forgetting the texture for spinner for the 4th time + went eeeh good enough#also!!!!!! the last “”panel“” made me realize how weird that angle is to draw spinner with his major proportions and also keep the soft 1/2#2/2 smile reading as a smile and agdhfkfl am i adding “looks like a resting bitch face” to my spinner headcanons? maybe.#but imagine spinner trying so hard to look approachable and give a little smile but his face just????? doesnt do that very well (at least#not as easily as more human looking humans) and how that might play into his ostracization and then him leaning into that#as a defense mechanism (like if they think im an ass then I'll look like an ass on purpose) ahdndn he was so grumpy in the bar in the bg#mha jbee

@soccerpunching you're genuinely one of the best people I've met here bc you like almost every media I like
Apropos fighting. Remember when Adora jumps on Catra at Prom. Just them rolling on the floor. I wanted to draw that but didn't get round to it. The scene had such an energy
#im so so glad you like those hah#but anyways catradora and feisaru are two v personal and important ships 2 me#would you believe me if I told you I've sorta felt like drawing them in suits again#a few weeks ago#both manspreading#the problem is my head is so full of ideas and i actually suck at drawing and am slow and so my brains fastness overwhelms me sometimes#oh also im sick AGAIN so efficiency goes put the window#i also have a song that i associate w the prom redraws in particular#if i do the manspreads ill bring it up#im a bit conflicted abt the prom redraws. i used to really like them#but theyre over a year old now and its showing#how my drawings looked back then doesn't really resonate w me but the dip stays iconic#BECAUSE#i didn't think about saru's n fei's bodies any different back then. but my brain has this thing#where it distorts my drawings and makes them look broader than they really are in my head? and#then i look at the drawings again after a month and it goes holy shit last time i looked you werent looking like stickmen#but im better than this now#my drawings cause me less eye cancer now#i wanna get that violet suit finally. have wanted it for years#also that one thing where saru gets manhandled. it originally had more blush#man im not rereading im going to sleep

HAPPY 4 YEARS OF MAIGETHEPLATYPUS57!!!!!!
Four years ago, on May 7, 2020, I made this blog! To celebrate, I found my journal from middle school and compiled all of the drawings I did of my persona over the years, including my most recent one from this year!
Seeing my improvement over the years is amazing, and I hope that 11-13 yo me would be thrilled at how much both my art and general life has improved over the years.
Happy 4 years, and here's to many years more on this hellsite (affectionate)!
#maige's posts#maige's art#a lil late but its still may 7 somewhere lmao#i didnt do anything for last year so i really wanted to post something this time around#blocked out parts have irl information and my persona's old name lol#also love how i eventually just like. embraced my brown eyes and stopped drawing my character with gray ones LMAO#hair also reflects how its currently dyed lmao. the other ones are a lil more wish fulfillment vs the newest one looking more like me irl#which im super happy abt

Every now and then I replay the first episode of VLD and I wonder why I thought it be a good show lol
#mostly just the part where Allura is assigning pilots to lions#why lol. the first five people who show up are just perfect fits?? hate it lol#i have no au plot ideas but itd have made more sense to draw out the forming of voltron. like for a longer time. like its the s1 finale#and to be traveling looking for appropriate pilots#or the s2 finale? like what if the original gang somehow stayed in contact despite not being Voltron paladins and they proved being the best#team despite not piloting immediately. i feel like a stronger plot of their forming teamwork outside of being Voltron would have also made#their friendships seem more real too lmao#like what if Lance IS Blue's pilot bit hes the only one for a long time. the other lions couldn't actually *just be* located#*but. not bit. and what if Pidge runs off in a stolen vessel to find her dad and brother. what if Shiro isnt.. so flat as a character and is#desperate to find his old team and runs off with them to help out and free others#Keith could somehow get involved with The Blades a lot sooner#and Hunk finds his footing as a leader in rebellion organization. i hate that he was just the funny guy allll the way thru#also (still not a plot bc my brain is unorganized lol) Allura doesnt die. Shiro actually gets to be gay with a husband. and we either need#to not make Lotor a villain or just go all out on making him the worst. i personally dont want him to be a villain bc it was stupid lol#also PULEEEAASE Lance is bi. Lance “I'm just getting a feel for the stick” *obsessed with his rival who doesnt even know he exists* McClain#i want to see him get over his crush on Allura within like 6 episodes and then see him making out with the mermaids then Keith when everyone#starts reuniting lol. my bicon Lance deserves to kiss mermaids like we all do and then get on when the otp lol#now im nostalgic for s1 VLD vibes. ya know. before hell lol#it really just gets worse after ... s3? everyone feels different. i usually tolerate up to about the end of s3 before i feel like its donezo#aunt posting#vld#voltron: legendary defender

Fanfics are doing Shimazaki dirty so I guess I'm gonna have to start making decent content for him myself
#hes my emotional support aloof bastard he deserves better#havent seen him being characterized beyond the token blind guy and/or being shipped with FUCKING TEENAGERS when hes 30#so looks like i have to do shit myself#there was one. ONE good fic i read that had a headcanon of him being gnc which fucking rules#BUT THEY HAD TO RUIN IT BY SHIPPING HIM WITH A 19 YR OLD THAT HE MET AT 16 IM SO FUCKING MAD#he deserves more hes an intriguing morally grey bitch who lives for kicks you cant go wrong with that#time to draw him gnc its what he wouldve wanted#i also think he teleports into peoples houses to steal their food when he doesnt feel like going gorcery shopping

oh no guys, I miss blurrbee,
#its scary bc i will look at my old drawings ive wanted to render of them and go. i could do that right now#(i cannot. i have other things to finish before i can even consider doing smth like that)#and also a part of me wants to go make the tag more active again#bc thats what happened the first time years ago when i got into blurrbee#and like. not gonna brag. kinda revived that scene and was like one of the only ppl posting it for a bit#and still only like rlly few other ppl that also posted it (but i also think i inspired several of them bc i was doing it)#and also..... i have my specific vision of blurrbee that i do not see other ppl capture and it makes me a bit crazy thinking#“WAIT. THERES PPL DONT KNOW ABT WOOLY BRANDED BLURRBEE WTF”#its a bit embarassing bc im probably coming off as possessive of a fictional ship with a blue car and a yellow car#but u gotta understand they are my special guys forever.... also i am the ceo of blurrbee sooooooooo#rando thoughtz

why am i like oh no maybe i post maria too much when i literally spent 2021-2022 posting nothing but ocie. well i will unlearn my misogyny and post even more maria
#in 2023 i posted no art except for maybe one banger and a handful of bad sketches#rn im like oh god i want a JOB but also kind of enjoying the extra time for art that unemployment affords me. such is life#i really need to get back into writing though i haven't been reading enough:/ i have ideas but sitting down k to write is so much scarier#than drawing#also wait it's literally like less than 2 months til summer holidays so i will literally have time to play m/gsv oh god#if my laptop can cope then i guess summer 2024 will be my m/etal gear resurgence. my rising revengeance resurgence 🔥#i was looking back at some old art the other week bc i was sorting thru my old computer files and all my art scans are on there and i was#like good god the proportions the cringe etc. which is good because it means i improved. but also there's some old stuff thats kind of#“better” or more fun or something than some of the recent stuff despite the technical ugliness and im like .yearns for that sparkle etc#also i miss the where's ocie era it was fun.i need to do it again in some form it would probably b quite rejuvenating to get sillay again
