#creative project of the day

[sharkylad]

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.

Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?

Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.

The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.

Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.

It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.

I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.

He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.

It’s been fun to try this art style on Tide and Bone, time to wrap it up with one of the most incredible storytellers I’ve ever seen

realized i painted half the environments on the first pages of chapter two in the wrong color and it kinda deflated the determination i had to push myself to get the first comic update out asap :/

I have a few prompts I havent finished to keep me occupied this week, as long as work doesn’t drown me in overtime again, which it totally might:

WIP: clone staring Rex + Wolffe, NSFW Rex x Goldie, NSFW rebuttal ( @lonewolflupe watch out)

-BUT I’m ready to let my ADHD derail cause there’s a few peoples OC’s I wanna try drawing cause they’re so cool; I mostly want to draw Juno first, cause JunTech is adorable <3 @wrenkenstein I hope you’re okay with that!

I’m just anxious about drawing others’ OC’s cause my art style is still in limbo, I’d gladly mess up my own OC, but I really want to represent others in the best way (my hands are always shaking so I gotta just find the right time to ink).

(Ya’ll are seeing the raw art progression + you’re still here?!?)

-so if I semi disappear this week, I’m just fighting demons, doing overtime, + probably drawing Fox in the dark at midnight *shrugs*

Sooooo uncanny rotoscope animation where Puzzles head blips outta existence and it’s just an outline of a vaguely human shaped figure dancing huh? Average Puzzle behavior this is completely normal (I’m coping so hard right now and sobbing into a pillow)

I think the reason I gave up on this one is because tracing my own dance footage was so repetitive and felt like I wasn’t getting the creative reward I wanted from the work. Would’ve saved my time if I just made a Puzzle cosplay and did the dance because WOW animating dancing takes so much patience which I am completely drained of!!

Also another reason for abandoning it was because erm first time ever doing rotoscope and I immediately realized just how off/inaccurate all the body proportions would be. I started thinking I’d need to retrace it all over again in order to properly adjust each frame to match Puzzles outline accurately aaand pushing that reset button/doing everything all over again scared me lol. I should’ve just referenced the dance poses rather then copying everything the exact same. Plus I’m too short to act as Puzzles. Thus it was doomed from the start <<

Discipline is not a lack of freedom, it is a harmonious relationship with time. Managing your schedule and daily habits well is a necessary component to free up the practical and creative capacity to make great art.

I feel like there’s a part in every project where the joy turns to pure “Inwanna be done i wanna be done I wanna be done I wanna” and I think I’ve hit it

[wildegeist]

Excited that I can finally share the finalized cover for Sableheart, my upcoming webcomic.

It's about an alien knight who sold his soul to interdimensional demons ending up in the spacefaring future, and fighting for survival in the unfamiliar realm of space as he tries to escape their grasp. He eventually finds it to be a fight for his lost happiness and those he loves as well, as he forges strong bonds with others along the way.

Contains: violence/blood, heavy themes, occasional strong language.

I've made a lot of progress with this project lately and I'm excited to share/launch it when I've got a backlog of pages ready to go. There's drama. There's funny alien demons. There's ace rep. There's existential terror. And a few other things maybe.

Prisoner @justzosiahere, back again for trial 2!

Status: Named unforgiven in the first trial, admitting to her own guilt during her vote. As a later prisoner in the lineup, she was able to encourage attacks both on and by the guilty prisoners (flamethrowers were mentioned more than once...) This timing also allowed her to temporarily avoid getting attacked herself.

Additional Crimes Revealed: Plotting and extending her angsty Milgram the Conspiracy au -- character development details, art, and peeks at the physical/emotional pain they going through teased in the chat. Is the crime the angst? Or the suspense? Maybe it's both!

Goblin brain: let’s look on ravelry for new patterns to knit.

Rational brain: but, we have so many things we’re currently knitting on? Couldn’t we use Craft Time™️ to work on those instead of looking at more patterns that we’ll start and then put aside in the sad corner of indefinite WIPs, thus continuing the vicious cycle of constantly creating but never actually finishing?

Goblin brain: hey Google, open ravelry.
