I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

#personal #delete later #no patrick. “black washing” is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together #seeing people in my reblogs talk about “reverse racism” and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy #say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices #in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony #redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation #(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite #if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc #if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same #if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same #while i agree that “black washing” can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level #a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you #i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics #and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with #if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter #i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures #(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years #i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing #classic bixels “i'm not talking about this chat. i'm not” (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

Like a deer caught in headlights

#deltarune #utdr #noelle holiday #fanart #my art #This drawing is so different in vibe to the others I make lmao #but it was fun to make!#Tho it did make me slightly uncomfy for a bit while I was making it #because of the lighting and background I think #probably creeped me out a little so that's funny #also please tell me if i need to put a tw or cw on this one because dunno man im not sure #im not implying her getting run over just being frozen out of fear lmao

"You remember too much, my mother said to me recently. Why hold onto all that? And I said, Where can I put it down?"

– Karen Quan, "Write like no one is reading"

Cozy Saturday Some days I just don't have the energy to put a lot of effort into art so I'll trace a pose to draw comfort babes. Today is one of those days ✌️

#bg3 #durgetash #gortash #tiefling #this was a very low effort thing tbh and I'm a bit sad I didn't put more effort into it but I think I just needed a lil break #there was a need to draw soft babes and it was urgent #i also wanted to have fun with different lighting and colours so there's that

Sharing is Caring!

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #jiang cheng #While listening to the Lotus Seed extra I was like 'aw this art is so cute.'#Post The Fanfic Fiasco (re: last comic's tags) I am haunted by the green orbs. WWX has a bag of edible green orbs and I am in hell.#First draft of this comic's script has JC saying 'dude you wouldn't even share with me!' and I love his little sibling indignation.#Middle child power is knowing that you don't have to share with your siblings. The little wet eyes and weak hand slaps do NOTHING.#JC probably already ate all of his lotus seeds. That's on you dude!#Part of me wants to get deeper with the metaphor of the lotus seeds here. It is a gesture of a certain kind of affection.#JYL gives something to WWX she does not quite share with JC. And WWX in turn gives something to LWJ he does not share with JC.#Really puts JC's line 'You're always eating...eating eating' into a very different light.#There are other kinds of starving besides hunger. There are other ways to be a glutton than just food and drink.#WWX's character pre-burial mounds is heavily focused on 'Indulgence'. Be it wine or flirting or hunting or eating-#-or receiving admiration; He is always indulging in ways we never see JC do.#I think the intentional contrast was with the Lan's 'Live simple and without indulgence' lifestyle. LWJ is the abstainer to wwx's gluttony.#But it does expand to JC as well! Both are locked into the role model position to have friction against WWX's apparent freedom.#I think LWJ and JC (at this point) see WWX as something they both want (in different capacities) and someone they want to be.#Yet despite the history between them it is not JC who WWX reaches out to. It's LWJ.#The boy already has an inferiority complex! Stop making it accidently worse!

Requested by anonymous: my three favorite Vulcan characters.

(maybe it's cheating since they're also the three Vulcan main characters but I do love them all!)

#i want to put them in a jar and shake them #star trek #voyager #tuvok #enterprise #t'pol #tos #spock #the voyage home #vulcans #my posts #gifs #my gifs #(regretting taking scenes with the most different lighting possible...)

Oh to be a digital Siffrin keychain spinning endlessly in space for my amusement

#notes on this one: changed the lighting and reflectiveness of the actual cut out images #Also the plastic/epoxy material for the edges was not true glass/I have no fucking idea how to change it to be see through #yes I set the roughness to 0 #so I just shrugged my shoulders turned down the alpha #now there's a new appearance of a mysterious black ball in the reflection #which is weird because there should be no objects in the way of the light(?)#it's a mystery #what would've been cool if I put a loop silhouette #but alas I have work and do not have time(tm)#also had a similar idea for like the stars blinking out #but that means I'd have to change it to an object not world and fiddle with like 5 sets of stars so they go out at different times #it was 2 am and I said fuck it put void sphere and turn the black alpha up and back down #after a certain point you just have to make peace with what you have and hit render so you can sleep #thanks for reading my ramblingsss #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers

#souyo #yu narukami #souji seta #yosuke hanamura #p4 #persona 4 #cat’s art #persona #i did like. ten different lighting drafts for this one aough #internal monologue for this one was like ‘i HAVE to push myself harder i HAVE TO PUT MYSELF OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE’#always in fear of falling back on what’s easy for me and never learning because of that #every so often i’m like… have i even improved at all? have i even been trying #very cool thoughts to have. not #yearly cat struggle of ‘wow my art hasnt changed at all and everyone can tell and i look like a joke’#enough moping. ENJOY THE SOUYO THEY MAKE ME CRAZY

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

#wax seal #crafts #wax stamp #stationery #Window one is kind of stinky.. I was imagining like a swirly night sky sort of looking thing so it would be a surreal contrast of a night #sky with a window in the middle that shows a daytime sky - but the silver and purple wax kind of mixed too much together #with the black and it just looks very plain black and not all that starry or anything hjbhj.. Of course the eye is probably my favorite #since all I ever do is draw eyes and still like eye imagery for some reason. The four leaf clover is very lumpy and skrunkty but also it wa #the smallest in size out of all of them so was easier to do multiple stamps of just to try it out.#The heart with eyes wax is actually more swirly in person. I wanted it to be a mix of light pink and red and white. and the wax #did kind of all blend together but in person you can definitely see MORE of the intentional swirlyness. in this it just looks plain pink.#I was going to do one eye in the heart but it looked weird. but now two seems too plain. i could have done 3?? in a pattern.. hmm #alas. I wish I could make actual metal ones. With the clay i have to paint them in a thin layer of olive oil before stamping because #otherwise the wax just kind of gets stuck in the grooves of the clay and then you can't pull it up. Very wacky ''unprofessional'' looking #set up where I'm hot gluing circles of sculpey clay to short stumps of a wooden dowel that I sawed apart with a serrated bread knife #and then using an old paintbrush to put olive oil on them whilst holding a spoon over a yankee candle flame hjbjh #ANYWAY.. I think if I were middle class/rich/etc. this would be one of the main things in my crafting room is like.. SO many colors #of wax. and all different custom made stamps designed by me. which could be much more elaborate in actual metal.. muahaha.... >:)c #RHGghhh... I actually don't want to talk much about it since (this is probably just my Obsessed With My Own World Artist Delusions) I #think I have a really cool idea for a game that could genuinely be successful if i ever get to make it and I don't want to give #everything away and spoil the whole plot/concept in hopes that one day I can actually do it - BUT - a game that I'd like to make after the #visual novel I'm making now has partially to do with the main character working as a sort of writer/scribe/artist assistant in an elven #city (set in my world/with my worldbuilding species and versions of elves and etc) and I was thinking of maybe incorporating #somehow being able to collect little writing type items like these like.. you can get different wax seal patterns or pens or etc. when I do #stuff like this in Real Life it always makes me think of that like.. ouh... this is good research.. what it shall be like to be a littol #elf collecting wax seals and such.. indeed... GRR i need to be finished with my current game NOWWW... i MUST work on other #thingss... aughh... ANYWAY.. yay. accomplishment to do One Single Thing other than Sit In The Summer Heat And Rot #though also hilarious as this was the first cool-ish day that was below 80F in a while hgvh #waking up like 'wow.. i actually feel okay today?? like I could do things?? how mysterious.. I wonder why..?? :0'' Its The Weather You Fool #Tis Always The Weather

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again

#i just dont know how else to tell you everything !!! santoor from a different room the large family gathering the black tea with saffron #drank out of delicate glass and gold vessels cold marble on hot nights big stars big rivers big mountains #visible from busy tehran roads the ease of conversation tension eased by sarcasm tall tall cliffsides you drive by #rushing to put on headscarves before the head teacher comes in a rave by the base of damavand massive sun pastel purple skies #disjunct architecture trucks on road sides with fresh fruits pomegranates watermelons oranges everywhere #the smell of golpar on tangerines beautiful girls in tehran holding hands bautiful boys in kermanshah speaking kurdish the janky #cars on the verge of breakdown held together by love caspian sea lighting up in spring staying up into the morning on noruz #my friends uncle sang and played setar his son played the violin a little fear a lot of love remnants of something #grand carved into the cliffside everything feels bigger taller the landscape swallows you it smells like #illegally imported wine and orange blossoms and auntie's tahchin soaking your eyes in warm tea when youre sick #tomatoes and salt concrete and stone something mandmade and something raw new flag old resilience #the anger getting to us bruised eyes big grin all i know is the north i feel sorry my mother asks if id be okay #if they got a place in tajikistan we love each other enough dont we? when we look in the mirror we see each other. theres a love letter #across the border and it says I MISS YOU IM GLAD YOURE DOING BETTER itll never be the same im not okay with it at all there are no more #stars i miss jumping over big fires i miss our fireworks im sorry we cant be happy anymore everyone #leaves the mint and rosewater and sunlight for a reason.#it's not pride it's just generational regret

Redraw of a VERY old Strelitzia piece. Crazy what... four whole years...... of drawing can do.

+ the old one(s)

#it almost looks like its drawn by a completely different person omg #also i just noticed that her heart got progressively more solid with each version lol #the og 2020 one is just a blurred put heart light #and the 2021 one is more defined but very transparent #whereas the most recent one has a just slightly see-through crystal heart #lolol #four years of development is crazy #strelitzia #kingdom hearts #kingdom hearts union x #kh #khux #i think i drew this sometime after the first time i actually watched the khux cutscenes?#art #my art #xanders art #digital art #fan art

this hasnt happened i was just so stupidly amused by the concept of them having to appear anywhere as a couple while they are technically engaged that i had to imagine it. samuel just white-knuckling edwards arm like SAM YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CATCH FEELINGS FOR THIS WEIRDO. DO NOT.

also Boo pointed out to me that Poor Edward gazing lovingly at the very prominent scar Samuel got from having to bash his head in after SOMEONE buried him alive is actually just perfect...... a nice memory of a great time with his fiancé......

anyway this is as good a time as any for a reminder to block the tag "light fingers" or "light fingers spoilers" if you follow me but want to NOT see me yelling/drawing about the rest of the ambition THERE WILL PROBABLY BE, A FAIR AMOUNT,

bonus:

sam is HOPING TO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE TO MARRY THIS GUY but since edward gave me this, uh, thoughtful(??) mask to wear i had to draw the hypothetical wedding fit lmao

Sam glaring thru smiling mask while Edward grins through a frowning mask.... cmon sam its meant to be!!!! you match perfectly

#IM ACTUALLY FURTHER ALONG this was drawn a bit ago but i need to put more of my light fingers scribbles up on tumblr THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW #im so mad i joined a new fandom and IMMEDIATELY became obsessed with A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MASKED LOSER how does this keep happening #anyway #fallen london #fallen london oc #poor edward #ambition: light fingers #light fingers #light fingers spoilers #art #shazz art #fanart #fl: the bloodstained deacon
