Omg they’re hereeeeeee! My SlumpSnail prints have arrived and they’re perfect.

This is the link to their shop.

Ps- the little one is for my desk, to keep a framed photo of my imaginary husband right next to the framed photo of my real husband. 😂

I finally managed to grab a plushie from @thylacereal (aka Thylacine’s Toyshop, not sure how best to tag them here on tumblr) before they all sold out, and look how cute it is!!!! It’s so soft, so well made, and that tail is absolutely adorable! Even the tag is adorable!

#other people’s art #plushie #mini rainbow sinosauropteryx #I have to admit I am not really a dinosaur person. like. I think they are cool! but in the same way I think pretty much all animals are #but also idk if sinosauropteryx is a dinosaur? or one of the things that weren’t dinosaurs that lived at the same time #that is my level of dino knowledge #I love it!!!! it’s so adorable #I think it’s French knots for the little beak nostril things?#I’ve never done that!! it’s such a good way to do it!#I do still want to buy a thylacine plushie from them eventually but I am glad I wasn't able to do that #because initially I just wanted a thylacine plushie but this sinosauropteryx is so darn cute

my new near’s resolution in 2022 was to fill an entire sketchbook by the end of the year and I only managed to get about halfway through it but last night I took that same sketchbook to a figure drawing session and filled all the remaining pages by the end of the night. and it makes sense because with the nature of the session, you’re allowed (expected even) to make shitty art. the whole point is that it’s not supposed to be a perfect finished piece, it’s practice. especially the quick 1-2 minute gesture drawings. and with the longer poses, you don’t have to spend the whole time working on one drawing, you can start over and do multiple iterations using different techniques! and that’s something I struggle with so much when I’m drawing on my own in an unstructured environment. anyway I think it’s really cool that I got more practice and experience out of a single night than I did in an entire year because I allowed myself to not be perfect at it and I encourage you all to do the same

#feels really good to get back into traditional art/life drawing #especially in an environment where I’m not being graded? I’m learning and practicing for me and that’s cool #and there were so many people with different skills/backgrounds/techniques #but I didn’t see them as competitors but rather people I can learn from and share the experience with #fuck I love healing my relationship to art and academia #anyway all this to say I had fun and I think I’m gonna go again #but first I gotta buy a new sketchbook lol #just katie things

finally finished all of one character's entire quests/optional dialogue/questions/etc.... 100,000 words... .... aughhh

#Given some of it IS lines of code and stuff but like.. minus all that it's still probably at least 85 - 95k words hhhhhh #AND I have to do this for another 3 characters. Then a few partial quests for 3 others. THEN the other random misc stuff in the game #(like there are public areas in the city like a park and a forest that you can go and do a few things at. and chat with a few random #townsfolk that aren't actually full characters or anything. And there's a community board where you can #browse some of the random job advertisments or silly things that happen to be posted around #and also pick up a few odd jobs of your own to help earn coin to buy gifts for the npcs. etc. etc.)#Originally I was thinking like 'ah I'll make a short little game just to try it out! :3 It'll take maybe a few months!''#haha........................hee hee........................................hoho #Also evil that it would have been done already if I didn't totally drop itand stop working on it for like 5 years randomly #i could have made 5 years of steady slow progress gradually. instead of like 'one initial idea dump + about a month of art and writing'#...... 5 year break..... 'sudden mad dash to try to get probably 400.000 words written in a year or less' lol #I just really want to be done and have something out there already so it can lead to doing other things in my world..!!!!!! T o T #Like this can be an introduction and then maybe from that I can make other games. or short story anthologies. or other such things #But there needs to be some initially not very complex easy to interact with starting point first I guess... if that makes sense #That's part of why I stopped posting worldbuilding lore dump stuff as often because its' like.. massive walls of novella length #text are much more inacessible to engage with than like.. ooh a game! and there's characters! so its more approachable! and theres #visuals! oo! and the text is broken up in small bits line by line with other things in betwen! oo! etc. etc. lol #Not that THIS is even very accessible. I think dialogue heavy interactive fiction/visual novel type stuff is pretty niche and considered #boring or tedious compared to something with more ''gamplay'' like where you can actually move around in a world #and shoot things or whatever lol. But its an inbetween point. something SLIGHTLY #more accesible for now. Since i just dont have the budget or means or ability to make some skyrim type thing obviously LOL #Though maybe if theres any interest in the visual novel that could lead to making other things too. or at least I hope. I have a VERY cool #idea for a more ''gamey'' type of game that is a super fun concept and etc. but I would need to hire at least 2 people to make it.. ough..#I could do all the writing and probably half of the art. But I think I'd inevitably need a 3d artist and someone who can Code For Real hbjh #the system for ren'py (the thing I'm making a visual novel in) is not that complicated if you stick to just simple dialogue and stuff.#Making a whole moderately sized 3d game with minigames in it and a bunch of quest features and etc. would be out of my simplistic scope #''just learn it yourself!!' ... i barely manage to eat and sleep reliably every day lol... i do not function well enough to spend months #learning that many new skills. I already have a lot of of things I'm good at (not in a braggy way but just factually like.. i already have #a wide variety of different things under my belt).. at some point I have to just be happy with what i CAN already do and focus on that #and admit I need to get outside help sometimes ghjbh... NO more new skills/hobbies!!! ... ANYWAY

Ok so these designs are cute as hell, the Internet is just mean

I have too many thoughts about a game I still need to watch

#goodbye volcano high #i dont have the money to buy it but god i need to watch a playthrough when i have time it's so interesting to me #like; the theme of 'yeah we're going die but that doesn't mean we can enjoy what time we have left' sounds amazing to me love that #its so funny i was actually watching a review of it that was basically 'this game sucks and here's why'#and then it just started listing off shit like- 'the characters designs are pastel they're nonbinary you die no matter what'#and then my neurons just went off and went '👁️👁️ oh! sounds amazing i want to see more'#fuck yeah pastel nonbinary dinosaurs lets go #well i think its just fang thats nonbinary and then two other trans characters #i saw a cutscene! and it was about the experiences of being an apart of a family as sec-gen immigrant and trans-#and i thought that was cool as hell dont recall ever seeing that in any of thr arts ive seen before (but there's lots of art out there!)#heard it got some glitches tho (havent looked in depth of what those glitches are) hopefully it got patched out #also im so fucking pissed i saw the gator game before i saw this 😮‍💨 (context; apparently made by people who made a fangame where they #the mc of this game a datable side character and they only have a happy ending if they detransition? which fucking yikes😬)#i saw people say 'oh but they did it empathetically' like how the fuck is taking a canon nb character and making them only happy through #detransitioning empathetic that sounds super fucking shitty and gross #i think a character that detransitions can be done and would be interesting to see- but this just reeks of people being transphobic for real #oh also purple dino has a slug or worm or something apparently! seems cute! just a lil thing #apparently its a rhythm game; listened to some of the songs and it sounded good! sadly i suck at rhythm games #but apparently failing doesn't affect the story? kinda wish it would but honestly better for me lol-#pink one and fang end up dating i believe- from what i saw pink is like- soft spoken artist? dunno if accurate but she's cute #all the characters are cute just look at them!!! awesome #also they have to just continue school like normal before they die and honestly thats so real #also saw people dislike the fact you dont see the characters actual die or the meteor #which is ??? dunno i just think some things are better left implied than shown-#anyways man i keep trying to find neat stuff about the game and all i see is people bitchin about it or praising the shit fan on instead 😔#man if i had two nickles for a time i grew to become obsessed with a media only for loads of people to hate id have two nickles #first nickle is kat elliot she's such a cool character Internet wasn't ready for her #also yes i saw obsessed i can just tell this is something ill go bonkers for #i mean god look how much text is in my tags for this already! and i still need to see the game in it's fullness!#im sure there's other cool shit

it is Extremely funny that the whole watcher thing just ended after one weekend of people being like hey this was poorly thought out and a terrible idea. lmao. cringe fail financial decision.

#i think where they ended up makes plenty of sense! it's just an alternative to patreon tho #like i like their content i'll probably still watch ghost files and mystery files and if they bring back their scary stories one #the one with the cool art not the one where they get drunk I don't like that one as much #but i don't care enough to pay 6 bucks a month #they would have just lost me as a viewer entirely lol #also tbf i have adblock and sponsor block on my youtube so I don't see ads or even sponsored sections of videos #so i'm still not really helping them earn money lol #i just feel like they were aiming for something like dropout which works bc a) the number of projects dropout makes #b) the huge cast across all of their shows #and c) a much more established brand even at the time of their shift to streaming #also the fact that dropout puts out multiple episodes of different shows a week lol #and they needed to go more like mythical society from rhett and link #which is pretty much just patreon with enough extra perks that people are extra inclined to buy into it #like with mythical society people who pay more get physical perks like exclusive merch and free items every few months #plus a ton of extra content like bts stuff and extra episodes of certain things #that's what they should do. imo.#anyway. ive been giggling at this all weekend

I gotta say, really glad that the main criticisms for my "artists have more options" post has been that it is very USA centric and doesn't work for people in low populated areas without an art community. This has led to people giving more perspectives and options, which is always appreciated, and also because it's a completely correct criticism. Like yeah it is in fact made from the perspective of a USAmerican who lives in a highly populated state with a thriving art community especially in rural areas, you got me there, can't argue with that, gimme some fresh perspectives I love to hear that. Thank you for not making my notifications hell, and thank you for giving me more perspectives im going to give you a little kissy on the forehead

#simon says #i was worried that since it hit 10k notes #I was gonna deal with a lot of people with low confidence getting mad at me bc 'they are too much of a failure to do this how dare you'#but im so glad because it hasn't been that #it has been people bringing up good counterpoints and perspectives I appreciate hearing!#like yeah I knew it was gonna end up being US (and probably Canada) centric because I'm American and never left the country before #so my perspective on career artistry outside the country is very VERY limited to say the least #but I didn't even consider that my perspective is also skewed by where in the US I live #I live in Florida which I mentioned before and feel safe mentioning because it's a very populated state #and a majority of the economy is tourism based #so there's a pretty huge thriving art community here because there's LOTS of people visiting who want cool art for whatever reason #and LOTS of retirees with money to spend and a new florida house to decorate #and LOTS of college age kids without money but an apartment they wanna furnish so they'll buy art anyways #shows and shops and gallery work are huge here for a reason #5 percent of the entire population are snowbirds. people from the north who live here during the winter #so needless to say it's far easier to start making art selling prints and handmade magnets at a booth for a weekend event here in Florida #compared to say... rural Nebraska #so I didn't even consider that because my journey as an artist started in a state with a small but passionate and growing art community #and my journey as a PROFESSIONAL artist started in another state that has a large and thriving art community even in rural areas #that it would absolutely have an effect on my perspective #i still believe there's always more options out there than you would believe and it's always good to explore and look #and if you're able to start building an art scene in a place that doesn't have one you should #but I definitely understand some folks better when they say that it's not always accessible to do so #art careers are not about fame or social media following but rather networking I still believe that because it's true #but yeah if you're in an area where your only option IS to sell online there's no shame in that #anyways hopefully that was coherent I just woke up from a nap and now im gonna play Frog Detective for the first time #smooching you all on the foreheads gently and lovingly thank you for opening my mind and not making my inbox hell

theOrEticalLy . if I opened commissions at some point. would there be. a smackerel of interest . ??

#i have never opened them bc it’s intimidating and I don’t know how to price things!!#but mostly bc i work full time w a good salary so I don’t really need side things to make money #like it feels selfish to suggest that people should pay me to make fanart?? When #a) I already do that for free bc i enjoy it lol #and b) there are so many creators out there who are struggling to make ends meet #and I am privileged enough to generally not have to worry about that #this would be just like extra spending money to fund my scented candle habit DHDJDN #and the clothes I just bought while trying to Discover My Vibe and Finally Be Myself (at age 28 lol)#also tbh it would likely be reinvested in other commissions bc I buy commissions fairly often lol #anyway. idk the idea of commissions always sounded cool but also guilt inducing and scary #it feels weird and silly bc it would make me have to take my art seriously if that makes sense??#like me saying ‘I think I’m good enough at art that people would buy it from me.’ that feels so bold and like. arrogant or something dhjsjd #coming from me I mean. just a silly little guy who still struggles to draw human limbs properly #ok I’m thinking about how I’d have to make a commission sheet and put a dollar sign on my art and I’m aaaaaaa #and I’d have to execute exactly what people want and what if I can’t!!!#omg ok maybe noT help lol #well im not committing to anything rn im simply. asking a question while the dash is asleep and then running off to bed seeya #i think part of me always wanted to try commissions to see if I could be a Real Artist about it ??#and potentially end up with like. Portfolio pieces ??#why I would need an art portfolio I don’t know. I am an editor. What do I think I will be doing here #ppl left comments on my animatic that have been giving me crazy what if thoughts. sit down #don’t look at me #ohhh swirly brain thoughts I need to sleep

#This is where I draw from #When I’m not stealing other peoples devices #Which is where I usually draw from #I need to buy another art app #Preferably one with a blend tool #Oh well cool laptop now

not saying i'd do this cuz im very very hesitant but . people have patreons for like,, wips n stuff right?? like people pay to see ur work early or whatever? would any of y'all be at all interested

#qktalks #my take on this sorta stuff is very hypocritical of myself #idk if that's the right word i'm tired #but like . i'm all for artists making a living wage like yeah that's awesome. support artists #but also i'm like ''well other artists can make people pay for their work. me tho ? no what is wrong w u''#why would anybody ever pay me for my work i find the concept so incredibly hard to wrap my head around #like i'm not even saying that as a ''oh boo hoo i suck'' kinda way im literally just #i guess im not the type of person to buy art. like buying art seems like a kinda ? crazy concept to me?? idk i just don't do it #even if i rly rly like a piece i prolly won't buy physical versions of it. i never have #but i know other people Do. they buy shit all the time #i see an artist go ''hey pay me $5 a month and u can see my wips and my first drafts n stuff''#and i go ''hey they're makin money from it that's cool''#but the idea of me forcing people to pay if they wanna see smth i can give them for free ?#it seems .................................................... Evil #LIKE . I KNOW IT'S NOT #idk . anyway rant over patreon or no

Hisuian Zoroark is one of the sickest designs in pokemon, but the model on that bloke is FUCKED. It's really bad. If they bother to port her over to other games, you know they ain't changing that model, either, 'cept to make the textures paler & duller.

I continue to despise pokemon, despite being a pokemon fan, I fucken guess. At this point, I gotta go all in on summat else, like Cassette beasts.
