I cannot express enough that if your reaction, as a hobby artist, to not getting that many notes on your art is to say "maybe I should just stop doing art altogether" you need to stop posting art to tumblr
not necessarily forever, not even for long, but just stop putting your art on here and start doing it for you again, remember why you enjoyed doing art in the first place and stop relying on the attention of faceless people on the internet for your enjoyment of your hard work
believe me, I get it, nothing crushes the artistic soul quite like labouring for hours on a piece only for it to get like 10 notes, so you need to find your own source of joy in the act of creation and a lot of the time that means making art and not showing it to anybody

I get that calling white lotus lbh a sticky little 'sheep' is a canon translation and stuck in the fandom now anyway, but I do feel the intended spirit of the original word wasn't the sheeple/dumb herd animal that's more common in the western world, but instead something actually conveying sweetness, innocence, purity and youth - lamb.
Famous for being utterly adorable and following around their mothers, gambolling in sunny meadows, curly white wool shining.
And NOW we can talk about black sheep/wolf in sheep's clothing metaphors.

hong kong miku,,,
#hopping on the trend jumpscare i’m from hong kong surprise#i haven’t seen that many hk mikus around#lowkey chat i think i kinda ate with this one#however i will say i am coloring in the dark so if any colors look off that’s why#and also i haven’t opened this program in literal months i jumped straight into this no warmup no nothing#miku is what pulls me out of art block apparently i was locked in for 5 hours STRAIGHT#someone needs to teach me how to paint properly holy#not sure how i feel about the bottom left one but that was a quick one anyways#i am from hk originally but i haven’t been back in years so i have no idea about the culture other than food and mirror#OKAY let me explain the context#street food is a big thing in hk and quick and easy things like fish balls egg waffles and like siu mai and wonton noodles are popular#back then people really would just squat down on the side of the road or right in front of the shop to eat it and go#but i don’t think anyone does that anymore city life and all that#ohh i should have done instant noodles breakfasts god i loved those#if anyones from hk if you go to the causeway bay mtr station exit that leads up to the big road near sogo. do they still sell siu mai there#that shit was BANGER i remember asking for them all the time#a good majority of parents in hk would get their daughters ears pierced as a baby something about them not feeling as much pain idk#that’s just what i was told#i used the neon for her friendly standard greeting cause i wanted to incorporate the neon signs somehow without actually drawing a whole bg#lots of neon signs in hk. i heard they had to take them down cause of light pollution which is sad but understandable#everyone got their shoes from dr kong. at least when i was younger they did#boy band is self explanatory. i heard they’re really popular my mom listens to them#oh i had her messing with her shoes cause hk people move FAST. you stop for one second and you get shoved#so like a fun little allusion#gave her black roots just for fun. she is violating every school uniform code possible#this is all based off of my memory by the way so like. anyone who knows this better than i do hit me up#hatsune miku#miku from my culture#jellos scribbles#i haven’t tag yapped in so long welcome back my love i missed you

so about that regressing saintess trope—
Cedric was sure he was making a fool out of himself in front of all of his Knights, but he couldn’t give up after coming so far.
“Your Grace,” his Knight Commander finally addressed him. “Is there a particular reason we are in this city?”
The Knight Commander had already served Cedric’s father. When his parents had died, the Knight Commander had cared for him as though Cedric were his own child. The Ashvain duchy’s reputation hit rock bottom when Cedric inherited it, and many of the servants could’ve left, but instead they stayed to support the child they now had to call their lord.
The least Cedric could do was insure they’d survive this time.
When he’d woken from his seizure, nearly ripped apart by his magic, he’d been granted the memories of a future undone, the continent ripped apart by monsters, their only saving Grace too weak to stand up against them as she was caught up in intrigues of the palace and her training stifled.
“There’s a woman here,” Cedric said. “Brown hair, brown eyes, plain looking. She sells cabbages.”
For half the price if my customer looked really poor, Your Grace! Ah, don’t tell His Highness I said that…
“A woman,” the Knight Commander repeated. “Your Grace, have you—“
“I do not have a lover,” Cedric cut him off. “I wish for you to make her your apprentice.”
The Knight Commander stared at him in disbelief. “Why?”
Because a year from now, they will proclaim her Saintess and the Temple and the Crown Prince will dress her in silk instead of armor.
But Cedric couldn’t say that without raising suspicion or seeming like mad man.
“Just trust me on this,” Cedric asked and took a look around the marketplace. All eyes were focused on them, and there, right in front of the temple, stood an unassuming woman with a stall full of vegetables, wearing a farmer’s garb and an apron.
If she would refuse to come with them, Cedric would damn well strip her himself and put her in armor. God’s most beloved daughter belonged in the battlefield and he’d drag her there himself if he had to.

This is one of my first embroidery projects that was completely designed by me! Going forward, I’ll be making mostly all my own designs and then stitching them once the sketch is complete.
I had a lot of fun with this one! It’s got a great blend of colors, stitches, lengths, and words to consider. Inspiration really did just hit me out of no where and I basically sketched this out on the fabric (I know, not ideal, but I now have a whole sketch book dedicated to becoming embroidery patterns).
This item is for sale, DM me if you are interested. The item is a completed embroidered piece. This is not a pattern.
This is an original design. Do not repost. Do not sell any finished embroidery piece(s) from this design.

btw etsy is doing this incredibly annoying thing that, unless i add tracking to my orders - Which I Do Not Have The Resources To Offer And It Would Increase Shipping Prices Considerably - they're gonna hold on to a third of the money i make from sales for an additional 45 days after :') just because i haven't been using my etsy shop for a while, so it's "suspicious" - even though i HAVE used it in the past and never received complaints about my orders. haha!! what a user friendly platform!!!!!
not to mention all the recommendations like "you know, if you offer free shipping you'll sell better :)" "1-3 days processing time is worse for sales than 1-2 days processing time, you should REALLY CONSIDER going for that one instead :)" "you should add videos of your wares, it'll sell better :)" when i just. i just wanna sell my little pieces of paper i have been drawing on. i just want a convenient and accessible storefront and sell things in a way that is convenient and accesible to me. is it really So Much to ask for
anyway does anyone know if ko-fi store is any better to use? switching to a different storefront may be a hassle but i'm not sure how long my tolerance for etsy's bullshit will last

me at my bookstore job to the 27th young adult straight edgy fantasy romance to come in this month
#full disclosure in case this blows up somehow because of booktok or something - IT'S NOT JUST BOOKTOK CRITICISM OR HET ROMANCE CRITICISM#this is me getting annoyed about the fact that the genre itself is oversaturated with too many of the same cookie cutter plot#girl in magic land meets guy and they hate each other but they don't really!!! but their love grows over the tides of the kingdom's war.....#<- THIS PLOT RIGHT HERE. I'VE SEEN FIVE SEPARATE AUTHORS DO THIS#and again - to clarify - it is NOT just booktok with this oversaturation issue#regular fiction is oversaturated with WW2/victorian era romance dramas - where the plot is good! but then A GUY SHOWS UP#AND THE WOMAN MUST MAKE A CHOICE..... TO SUPPORT HER CHILD OR LEAVE BEHIND HER OLD LIFE etc etc WE GET IT. FUCK.#and it's not just fiction too!!! the charts are oversaturated with crime novels in general right now#granted - most of them are good and try to be original - however there's just too many in the main chart#i won't list all of them to prevent drama - but in two past 'six new chart topper' deals - four were crime#and they haven't sold well. even bringing in popular authors didn't help them sell well#there needs to be a shake up. i don't want to be elitish or snobbish - PEOPLE CAN 100% WRITE WHAT THEY WANT#everyone's art is unique and beautiful because they did it#and they have the freedom to do so#but writers nowadays are falling too much into keeping with trends that it's actively tiring out consistent readers#write your fantasy novel - but lean into the worldbuilding. write your world war novel - but elaborate outside the characters.#write your fiction or crime - but try to vary up the beats of the plot to surprise readers more#stop trying to cater to what you l they want and what works - try and surprise them with something new and unexpected.#anyways rant over. i can talk about this for ages but i won't. but i could#spark talks about nothing of relevance#clip from the shadow the hedgehog rtfd 👍 thank you devil. from bible.

There may be more faceclaims in Gaiden than you expect!
All prominent members of the Watase Family shown so far co-star with Motomiya and Yamaguchi in the Nihon Touitsu (Unification of Japan) franchise as members of Yamazaki Ichimon.
Nihon Touitsu is produced and written by Motomiya and was hugely influential in the making of Gaiden according to Yokoyama (notably, Shishido and Tsuruno were written as role- and personality-swaps of Motomiya and Yamaguchi's Nihon Touitsu characters), so check it out if you can!
#rgg#yakuza#like a dragon#like a dragon gaiden#nihon touitsu#unification of japan#kosei shishido#shishido kosei#yuki tsuruno#tsuruno yuki#original#by which i mean check it out when i sub it LMAO#i can in theory do up to ep 46. so. fingers crossed everything works out and i'm able to#dude i fucking love nihon touitsu (<- i have bad taste) PLEASE.#it's a tough sell because it's a series of (so far) 58 movies + it's horribly produced on every level at the start#(though tbf you only really “need to” watch up to ep 7. it was supposed to end there)#and the MUCH more accessible drama version is ironically impossible to find#i don't even care though if i had to sit and explain The Charm of the series for me i'd be here for ages#but for one. motomiya and yamaguchi have a beautiful friendship which the show mirrors 1:1 and that makes it such a great watch#them bitches are about to make me believe in soulmates i'm SO serious + every other shot is “redraw this with your otp” material#especialllyyyyyyy for superior-subordinate relationships like GIRL#and i mean it's. literally been queerbait since motomiya took the helm last year because before then they weren't Knowingly Like That#but the relationships are so much more sincere than you see in western media that it just hits different. these men love each other#in one way or another. and it doesn't truly matter which. in that sense it's very rgg#i just adore the entire cast and crew you can tell they're always giving it all they've got even if it turns out “bad” or “lame”#ok all of that aside everyone here is a v-cinema (jp direct-to-video action) regular#and with motomiya and yamaguchi being cast the original and neo four kings of v-cine have all appeared in rgg#i literally just need them to cast my king katsuya (the actor not naoki katsuya of yakuza 5 fame) and i can die happy honestly

i saw the umpteenth post on twitter about how fanfiction isn't literature and i am SO MAD, like, it's not hard to judge a story by its quality
but no, god forbid, it's only literature if you sell it for money.

Having stumbled into like. Mild success with a few fics that were waaay canon divergent and get them praised for the worldbuilding I did makes it all the more bleh that anything else I do outside of that fandom is still just. Crickets.
I wish I was one of those artists/writers who can grab people with their style or creative ideas so people will give their wild ideas a try even if its not something that's their usual pairing/fandom...

Hi guys! I have some stuff to sell.
If you've been here for a while, you might remember that I had announced that I was going to start doing adopts, hosted an auction for one character design, and then didn't do anything else. It turns out that adopts are not for me.
However, I have three paintings (watercolors) of character designs that I now have no idea what to do with! So this is the 'closing sale' version of what I was trying to do earlier in the year - I cannot be bothered trying to move these the way I wanted nor make the kind of money I wanted off of them. I am not interested in keeping them forever just because I can't do what I want, though, so I'm selling them off again.
Here's how that will work:
You pay $30 for the painting plus postage, which should not end up being more than $15 at the absolute most, "or best offer" if multiple people want the same one (truth be told I find this unlikely)
I mail you your painting, so you get the original. you get to keep the character if you want but you're not obligated to do anything with it
i then post a nice picture of it on my art accounts, where people can say nice things about it or w/e
These are the three pieces up on offer: The first two are watercolor and ink, the last is just ink, and all three are on watercolor paper but the first had torn and while it's patched very neatly, I glued a second piece of paper to the back to support it and now it is very stiff. They're all about 8in x 11.5in.
Sorry there aren't any robots . But if you particularly like my fursona there's an unfinished anthro sketch of the dragon on the back of the painting that bears a resemblance to mine.

Email me at [email protected] or send me a DM here if you're interested in any of these!
Edit: all have sold! Thank you all :D
