sorry if youve been asked this before but your drawings have a nice texture to them and i was wondering if it was a brush or an overlay?

Hello! Thanks for asking, most of the texture in my work comes from brushes. I use the TrueGrit Super Smooth Inker for lineart and the default Procreate Bonobo Chalk brush for coloring and creating gradients.

I do use clipping masks to create texture for things like skin. I paint a solid base layer and then add color over top with the Bonobo Chalk brush, fiddling with the opacity until I get my desired look.

Hope this helps!

My lack of ability to advocate for myself is killing me, actually.

Eclipse, recently reformed and on thin ice: I found the most cursed breakfast combination.

Sun: God, what did you create?

Eclipse: Ya know those blueberry pancake battered sausages on sticks?

Sun: Yes? The daycare kids like them.

Eclipse: So I want to make one with chocolate chip and bacon flavored pancake batter with spicy sausages and dip them into sausage gravy.

Sun: …

Sun: Listen, I don’t want to disown you again, please don’t.

Remember, kids! If you need a break and you don’t take one, eventually your body will take one for you!

Me: What if I wrote a fic where Yue lived at the end of the the first season of avatar?

Also me: A short fic?

I credit it to a healthy diet and exercise. HAHAHAHA no it’s because I consume hypnosis content nonstop and have since I was like 10 years old.

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?
