#you have no idea for how long ive been thinking about drawing anything related to red vox and how it always turned out cringe to me LOL#now i would like to think this is better than some past versions i drew in my middle school notebooks#it was more about the individual songs back then. i still have some cutouts in a bundle somewhere#do i tag this even#artstump#red vox#they are all 400x400 files weighting around 1 megabyte. in memory of 1x1 centimetre squares i did in school#its more of a coincidence actually lol i always drew small

I'll admit it! I never was on the whole "Slade coulda been Jason the whole time" bandwagon! I could never see it, they're just so different!
But, like...


Or:


And even:



I. Kind of get it. I mean, Jason's (second) introduction came nearly seven years after New Teen Titans #2 (and his first intro came three years after), but like. These two are peas in a pod. Imagine calling someone a turkey. Jason would so fucking do that-
#the inane ramblings of a madman#dc#batman#teen titans#new teen titans#jason todd#slade wilson#deathstroke#red hood#i'm tagging red hood because red hood literally just#fuckin is early deathstroke#read new teen titans issue 2 and tell me jason red hood would not have the same motivations#you can't!#they really are just#so#similar syntaxually#they read like almost the same person#or like they had the same writer#also i just really like jay's second intro it's so much better than the first one#little tiny jason squaring up against Batman? adorable#i'd adopt him too bruce i can't even fault you on picking up jason#how'd he get up to the skylight?#i don't care he's a baby i love him

I gotta get back into my new Age of Calamity file (been knitting and playing our second Tears file all the time), 'cause I am still soooo far away from unlocking Kohga and I need to get himmmm again. I mean I could just go in my old file and have him kill some vicious lynels to get my fix or something but. No I want to rebuild My Best Guy and see if I can possibly make him even more Best.
But. I mean.


That would be pretty hard.
(I accept the challenge but I gotta be patient and get through the 'let's destroy the Yiga Clan woohoo!' parts first astfglaslkfjsldfkj. I mean not that I hate those missions, I love fighting Sooga and Kohga as I have said before, and I adore the cutscenes involving them. But I wanna play as them even more, they're just so fun. Also I got sosososo lucky with Kohga's weapon drops last time so hopefully I will again this time too so I can make him an even better Demon Carver. If that's even. Possible. I will do my best! Glory to Master Kohga etcetc!)
#legend of zelda#age of calamity#yiga clan#master kohga#me: *playing as Urbosa blowing up the clan and all the valley's entry gates with Vah Naboris* i'm sorry i'm sorry I'M SORRY#me: *still plays the other parts of the mission more times to have fun fighting my banana boys* hi kohga hi sooga HI THAT POV CUTSCENE#((obv i can't get him to be better than lvl 100 but it MIGHT be possible to make a better weapon? idk the one i made is pretty fuckin good)#((my man will just do strong attack after strong attack opening weak points etc and building that stress gauge))#((so he can go big glowy blast real efficiently. plus that sp atk charge rate + sp atk up combo is soooo handy))#((truly serving up a whole lotta hurt))#((super convenient that the charge rate and the shockwave hidden seal are the same shape too for bonuseeeesssss))#((but idk would it be even better to ditch the squares and go all stars this time? hmm but the shockwave is thematically appropriate HMM))#((like maybe the all star seals build would end up with technically higher attack bonus BUT gameplay-wise the squares do help/are fun. HM!)#anyway he's genuinely my favorite and i gotta get back to it so i can BE HIM ONCE MORE

Maaan I love the optimistic advice "keep practicing and you'll get better at art" as much as the next artist, but it always rubs me the wrong way when that evolves into "just keep practicing and you WILL 100% succeed and CAN get into the industry."
It changes from good general advice to implying you're just doing something wrong if still haven't "made it" yet. Not in the industry? Well, you just haven't worked hard enough, obviously, as if there aren't plenty of other factors that play into "succeeding” in a highly competitive industry like art.
Don’t let advice that’s supposed to be encouraging turn into something discouraging 😭
#there’s a lot more to worming your way into the art industry than just. studying art real hard and working your bones off#hard work only gets you so far.#a lot of ‘success’ also starts at childhood and that goes for any industry#having supportive family and even better if they’re financially supportive#good early education. good physical and mental health. the ability to focus and do the same task over and over for hours#good social skills- because networking gets you a lot further than pure talent alone.#growing up in a convienaint location to even network at all. or the power to travel to such a location.#natural talent puts you ahead. brains work differently so it’s ignorant to pretend natural talent isn’t a thing#some take to a skill faster than others because their brain comes out more wired for it. so their skills develop easier and faster#music never came to me. I can’t hear the tone of my own voice most of the time. I DID study music and take mystic classes as a teen#it’s insulting to be banged over the head with ‘if you study music you’ll start to get it.’ I’m 28#I know myself and have tried during an age which music is easier to learn and yet I did not. I don’t have talent for it- my brain doesn’t-#-grasp it. the same with any art. some will struggle more to learn visual art ‘good enough’ for the industry#and implying that they just don’t get it yet becasue they haven’t tried hard enough is insulting#you can always get better. always always!! but sometimes grinding is just… grinding. fruitless and painful#I failed algebra twice as a teen. I couldn’t understand punnet squares till my 20s.#saying work harder and you’ll become a math professor would be insulting. implying I never tried to learn at all.#implying that even tho I took tutoring multiple times that maybe. if I just took one more. poor id suddenly be more able.#people work hard and it just clicks and 10 years later you’re in a great art industry job… you’re not the rule. you’re the exception#ugggh sorry :p just frustrated. sometimes people just don’t realize the kind of luck they’ve had in life and it irritates me

missed a call from my neurologist's office ten minutes before they closed for an appointment i really need. and my left caster fork is like, perma fucked. i am so upset.
#my left caster keeps going out of square and it can't be easily fixed#it is the old school tilite speed loader style#and the second screw (which had a replacement/poorly fitted screw already when I got it secondhand)#has completely stripped the inner threads#so it can't be tightened#so i am relying fully on the first (center) screw being over-torqued to try and keep it from coming out of square#which has to be tightened every day or so#i am. unhappy with it.#idk how to fix it without like. idk getting someone to weld it in place#which i would like to avoid if possible#the whole speed loader situation is already fucked#this is an old ass chair#idk how old but like. old enough. and it was fucking expensive even secondhand#and i cannot afford a new one and my backup/travel/folding chair is not supportive or light enough to be good as my everyday chair again#like maybe maybe if i found a better backrest but even then. it is heavier than my tilite#augh#i guess i will be trying to get one covered by insurance but even then!!!!!!!! it will take a fucking while#AND I STILL DON'T HAVE THIS NEURO APPOINTMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's so funny when I rewatch a show but with a new/different/additional crush. like I'm rewatching the librarians with my partner right now and it just feels soo different lol
#anyway. Jenkins 😍#on a completely unrelated note...#I need to learn more about pocket squares and ties.#because it's already driving me insane when they don't go together on night court but it's much worse on the librarians where I can actually#like. see stuff lol#I don't mean 'oh no the colour isn't an exact match'. more like 'these patterns and/or colours look fucking bad together'#but maybe there's like. reasons for that. rules that my silly little brain isn't smart enough to figure out#because all I'm basing that on is. my eyes and my opinion lol#anyway he's so baby. 🥰 and I definitely like him better now. very very huggable.#he takes that suit jacket off and I'm like 🥵#man I feel so weird about this :') but I must talk about it anyway or I will never get over that :)#like it just feels like. ohh this is weird I'm not supposed to think he's hot because he's old 😬 but he just. is 🤷#anyway touching his ears would fix me man it totally would#*with my mouth also. but whatever it's cool I'm not thinking about that#no haha why would I be thinking about it that :)#or when he sits on that table sometimes and I totally don't think about how I absolutely need to sit in his lap :)#haha noo I'm not thinking about fucking him at all who even brought that up#anyway i am very tired & have already taken my sleep meds so I am extra stupid rn :) and the dumb thoughts just keep coming out

for real tho? especially if you consider tachibana kiryu’s equivalent to makoto in majima’s side of the story, i really believe something in kiryu snapped when tachibana died just as much as something did in majima later on when makoto got shot– if not more. the mad dog persona was a conscious choice that didn’t come about the second majima snapped and fought everyone tojo hq, but kiryu was straight up ready to kill a man by the time he was fighting shibusawa, no persona or anything to blame it on. arguably he went off the rails way sooner and held it together for way less time than majima managed to.
#and I mean. say what you will about majima’s spontaneity and all that but kiryu’s just as violent as him and THEN some#and it’s not subtle. from square one he solves all his problems with violence cause that’s sorta what he’s been conditioned to do#but I think when tachibana dies it goes from just doing what he’s programmed to do to genuinely channeling anger and resent and emotions in#general into beating the living shit out of people and not thinki by twice about the consequences#which is a trait he maintains throughout his entire life- with better and worse periods of course but#overall. yeah. look at his heat actions in y5. he’s miserable and it shows through how fucking unnecessarily Violent his moves are#smashing someone���s face into the pavement and rubbing it back and forth on asphalt? yeah I think even majima would be like#woah. take it back like. fifteen steps. breathe for a second#kiryu#majima#rambling#y0#yakuza 0 spoilers#majima’s self control is actually sort of fucking incredible if you think about it#cause look at what kiryu went through in 0 and before 0 compared to majima- yet majima still didn’t go apeshit after all the#literal torture and god knows what else in his background

haiii as a frequent con-goer my observations are: ppl tend to get posters or pins/keychains more than stickers, since sticker boards r more rare than like ita bags or drcorating ur room.
bnha hasnt rly been present in cons recently, so dont feel like you Have To BUT. if you do genuinely want to sell that stuff, it wld probs fill a niche that the people who DO want to see it will be excited for since theres probs not alot of other booths with it
depending on how far away the con is, dunmeshi will probs be rly popular since its the biggest new thing. sometimes theres a gap of if smthn big comes out too close to a con no one has time to make merch yet, but if you think you have time and want to itll probs be rly popular.
all of this is as u said based on my personal experiences and ive only been to the cons in my state, and NOT as an artist so idk if boothers have other advice or inputs but! :) i hope it helps
YESS THIS IS SO HELPFUL TY TYY🫶 ive been out of the loop for some time now, so this is great @ filling in the gaps. i appreciate you taking the time to lmk your thoughts :”)
like you make such a good point ab the sticker boardsHAHAHA sweeet. i’ll probably be better off focusing on the big3 anyways (pins, posters and charms) and add variety later on once i feel more established
and wooo!! ok thats what i was thinking wrt to dunmesh :3 it might be fun to draw a thing or two once i finish the season then hehe THANK YOUU !! 🤭 ill keep all of this in mind
#in trying to research all of this i often hear from the boothers themselves#so hearing your perspective is so valuable TYSMM!!🫶#asktag#anonymous#there was more i wanted to say but it slipped my mind😭 RGAAAAomg what was it#i think like . just your general experience and if theres anything ab booths that you feel could be done better from a congoers experience#but i dont even know what that would be like .. i read that most people have moved to digital transactions right#like square or some other form of card reader w ofc cash on hand if anyone prefers that#<thinking out loud at this point#do you think the print backdrops are sufficient or do you also like to flip through books @ the table w the prints etc#HAJAHAH sry

I spent all day figuring out how to do this (modded playermodel) (very fancy) but to be honest I don't even intend to use this skin at all so I don't know what was the point of the effort. Also I saw a spider
#I had to turn off my shaders because the colors on her face are too pale so she became a flashbang.#But now the color i made her face is slightly too pink so she looks kind of sunburnt. She can't win.#mypost#oc#idk if this gets art tag. I dont know if I count this.#I still find this character's design stupid in a way i dont know how to resolve so I've only posted her in semi-unrecognizable forms.#(very small before and now squared.)#Luckily she's not for anything important at all I only picked her for this because she has so much sticking out of her design#that it would justify the effort of using her to test making custom models...#like i would HATE doing the wings and tail on a normal model. Just one is bad enough but she has both.#I actually do remember why I did all this. It was because I miss doing minecraft skins for money. But I'm not as good at it now...#even with the hurdle of modeling aside I kind of forgot to shade this. There's no distinction between her legs when she's standing still.#That's a rookie's mistake...I should be better than this...

I have been super close to a robust number of artists over the years and it is hugely funny how much I absolutely just fucking hate the process of creating digital art
#I've picked up nothing#desperately trying to make some new channel assets and I would rather tweeze my nose hairs#just shit some shapes on a couple of canvases hoping I'll open them again in the future and poke them again#and rinse and repeat until I have something#it's not even that self depreciating “I hate my own art” thing#frankly I LOVE my own art especially when I have An Idea That I Manage To Implement#what I fucking hate is digital art programs#it feels like drawing with reacher grabbers instead of arms#I know I don't want to learn the motor skills required to freehand draw (because I am not excited by it)#so here we are in aseprite vacillating between yelling at my monitor and arranging squares#by the time I even get a workable file and upload it to stream elements then I have negative patience for stream elements#which I also LOATHE#sidebar there are so many programs that grid has no problems with that I Cannot Comprehend#which would be super funny if it wasn't all the programs I need to use in order to make the ONE HOBBY I HAVE any better

I would really love it if maybe we could have a break from the horrors for five fucking minutes
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#vent post#this year has been one fucking thing after another and I'm burnt out and exhausted#actually it's not even one after another. they keep piling up and overlapping#like hi would you like to spend the whole year having your abandonment issues triggered and made worse constantly#would you like to go through medical trauma that leaves you with issues that cause you severe pain on a daily basis#while also making it so you literally can't go to get any of it fixed#because seeing any of the tools that would have to be used is enough of a trigger to cause issues regardless of the context you see them in#would you like to take a medication for a month that makes you constantly terrified that something's trying to kill you#and then when you stop taking it that goes away so you think it's gonna be fine but a month later you still have other side effects#and you're trying to navigate all these new symptoms and triggers while more and more stuff just piles up#so then every time it feels like you've made progress something else fucks you up and it feels like you're back to square one#and it's starting to feel like maybe you're the problem because why else would everything keep going this badly#even though so much of it is completely out of anyone's control and you're trying so hard to cope with it and get better#I'm so fucking exhausted and it feels like every attempt to fix any part of our situation goes to shit in some new unforeseen way#and every time I vent about any of it I feel like a burden for making anyone else deal with our problems even if they've said it's fine

soulmate-ism ❤️
#am i joking? am i serious? who could say...#my qualm is not so much the style of acting or even the actors changed but seemingly the groundwork of this character#being disregarded and set aside#im fully a hater so believing this scene is cute means more coming from me.#i liked both that they depicted her as odd and her oddness chiming with his own oddness#bcus then by s3 she is just...serene and genteel. nothing else#i think it was interesting that she doesn't mention coa in s2 either and couldn't help wondering if this was an intentional choice?#catherine was#for one something that seemed to bond the group she became part of#(which is something they seem to omit it is just...the seymour faction. of seymours. and charles brandon. no one else)#but for another technically would have been an obstacle to her advancement. so if the omission was purposeful that (could) have been#masterful... they of course ruin that by s3 again lol#im assuming what they were going for was jane modeling her queenship upon catherine's in s1 by having her suddenly#express such admiration for her but this presents its own host of ...not plot holes persay but character gaps? i suppose?#(this has been theorized and that she succeeded is doubtful. it's not like henry's response to the may day riots intercession was similar)#namely: how does this square with jane's seeming devotion and idealization of henry in s3? she thinks the world of him and constantly#seems to be let down by him and expect better of him...but were she such a devotee of his first wife. whom he banished. then why?#another thorny issue they refused to grapple with by just eliding s3: she might have thought the world of him because*#of what was done to anne. in the vein of reginald pole#ridding himself of the 'heretical evil'. they sort of try to do this by a transference case; suddenly jane hates cromwell even tho he was#instrumental in her rise...?#they didn't have the confidence to explore that ; however. even though it would've been better continuity#bcus in s2 jane seems happiest in diminishing her rival.#and they didn't really give any of the complexity they did to AB...this sort of brash confidence and steady and public reviling of her riva#followed by these scenes of anxiety and fear ; like with her sister overlooking coronation sketches#instead she just becomes...serenely sad. somehow. surprised that henry has a mistress.#(i mean. cute being a relative term. jane is cute. henry is baring his teeth and doesn't seem to display much in the way of ...warmth?#could have actually been something really interesting done here...idk how accurate. but interesting#'as lancelot worshipped guinevere' is a fantasy...and not one that ends in marriage between the two#just as 'maitresse en titre' (i mean...it was a title for a reason...but) was a fantasy outside marriage
