Progress Shots below cut:

I started this piece shortly after I got home from LBX where one of the pieces of feedback I got was to take more time planning my piece and to not get attached to one composition before you've had the chance to try a few iterations of the idea.

So I really, really took my time working out a few drafts before I settled on the one that eventually became this piece and dear god that took so long. I spent nearly 2 weeks on JUST drafts. I normally only spend 2 days max planning a piece and that usually just involves moving things around and resizing things to try and get a good composition. This time I completely nuked my sketches (not actually, just hid them so I had a blank canvas) and tried completely different compositions. I also (for once) did some color tests before starting my final piece (my color composition can still use some work fkdslkfs). But also, this concept was just very difficult to execute because I really, really wanted to include music in the piece because it was my favorite part of the game, but it's also really, really difficult to work it into the piece in a way that looks good.

All in all, a good exercise and I'm pretty happy with how the piece came out! With time I will eventually make a habit of spending more time on the planning stage of my illustrations rather than just plowing through the first idea I have hehe

#outer wilds #this piece took way too long oh my god #will be made into a print wahoo #big fan of the music mechanic of the game #considering revisiting the other composition i had for this idea as well but not now

got to see the @narcissistcookbook in dallas, thoroughly enjoyed it

#i draw #the narcissist cookbook #really fun show Overall!!#like the ideal narcissist cookbook setlist. a bunch of my favs. so cool #i really wanted to figure out how to get a lyric quote to look alright with this composition and i COULDNT do it #it woulve been 'as the heavens beneath us convulse and contract to be near us' if i couldve made it work. fav lyric #side note on the piece: i didnt MEAN to make it the pansexual flag. i do this a lot. pink yellow and blue just look so good together whoops #i am not pan just a real big fan of their flag Apparently #inspired by 2 album covers! eden disorder and conditional love #i wouldve made a physical piece or doodle to give @ the merch table but i only knew i was GOING to the show about 24 hours before it #i was the guy who got to come because my friend broke up with his gf lol. got slid into the schedule very last minute #this is the first concert ive actually gotten to say hi to the band(s) at! really glad i got to come! not glad about WHY but yknow #silver linings

proper reupload in the high quality this fantastic segment so deserves; eagle pig and duck bias notwithstanding, this will forever be my favorite variant of the fabled switcheroo (and a reminder that Daffy was first at his own game!) the committal on behalf of both characters--especially the sincerity of Daffy's feigned sincerity--really sets it apart

#that delivery of “don't you believe i'm a fish?” sounds so hurt and it's perfect #likewise i think there are few one-liners/toppers that make me laugh as much as 'i told ya i was a pig'#and that all knowing glance at the audience from Daffy doesn't feel obnoxiously smarmy or self aware #there's a friendly nonchalance to it. a very clear amusement and not in a way that undermines anything this segment is setting out to achie #again. my favorite buzzword: that sincerity! a sincere investment and amusement in watching Porky obliviously and endearingly make an ass #out of himself #and of course the cross dissolve and setup of the composition implying a story/sequence of events taking place within that time...#this short isn't my favorite P+D short--i still LOVE IT A TON but there are so many i revere--but i think it's one of the most definitive #if someone was looking to get a good understanding on their character dynamic this would be one of my immediate recommendations #i haven't had the bandwidth to spread my pig and duck gospel but please #watch Porky and Daffy cartoons #tangential but i've always loved the sound effect Treg Brown uses for Porky dropping the gun #good exaggeration/whimsy while also connoting Porky's stubbornness and that this stupid petty argument is enough for him to lose sight of #his motives and discard his murder weapon. all because of this joyously stupid argument. so i like the self awareness there with how obtuse #the sound effects are #because anyone who is not Porky Pig would have just shot him point blank #and that is everything i love about their dynamic and how Daffy's intoxicating charisma and ability to get people invested even affects the #very characters on screen #gee d'you think i ought to have said more about this scene #lt #duck soup to nuts #freleng #vid

I need a physical calendar to help me keep track of scheduling, but I moved recently and couldn’t find mine

So my extra ass decided to just make myself a calendar

#I really like how it turned out #I’m still working on composition theory #I’m not very good at it #I think I should have had the lower cat’s eyes looking at the lower left and make a kind of eye circle #or something #i’m working on it #traditional art #calendar

I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea /

Maybe we'll be there when you want

#bella #fc!bella #lc ocs #art #this is from reinhardt's (branch-wdk53) pov! you cant escape him in my art. i cant escape him #link leads to stranded lullaby - the lyrics are also from there :3 #this is around rein's fears about bella being like ryn but is also about the extraction interaction (still love that name)#honestly every piece of this has. so many meanings like. god #let me just redo all this and go through them one by one lmao #the sea: this one's about them being in the same situation. also their issues (the sea will slowly rise; obscuring and drowning them)#it's also about guilt - it can be a blood ocean! the blood of those they let die...#OOOH I JUST NOTICED THIS: bloodbath! since it's a blood sea :3 #the halos: the inner one is halfway just for composition half bc rein sees bella as a good person. the outer (hard to see but) tear-shaped #halo is both a drop in the sea (me when the blood sea! when we've let so many die it no longer matters.) and a noose's opening -#like foos's but metaphorically(? lmao) bella's own suicide by distancing herself from her friends and therefore her help/support system #the black spots: represents rein losing her in a way. he knows what's happening but has no idea how to help. also tied in with his #amnesia/memory loss (totally covered; lost info; yknow). could even be from pain or drowning in the sea! who knows! :3c #...........yeah im normal about these two. you can trust me.#i need to make a bella/ritz piece istg... ive been sleeping on them!!!!!!!!#but. i love these two so much. total of 2 interactions and i made the MOST out of them <3 #also since im naming all these now since i gotta save them to post em: this one is called lost

dude the master cup has no right to be so infuriating

i love that boss enemies in cyber sleuth will randomly decide:

no actually, you aren't allowed to lower my stats. i am allowed to use cheats to raise mine though. speed to the max!!! defense! evasion! who cares, we're just throwing numbers at the wall!

fuck your status moves. oh but i am allowed to spam them all day (i'm punting crescemon into orbit). idle bubble, lunatic dance, good luck getting an action in buddy!!

i'm going to heal for an eternity and it sucks to be you since you can't just hit flee to retire from the cup. i will waste your time for the next hour, even once you've given up and decided to just hit a until you lose

#sky talks #digimon #digimon story cyber sleuth #digimon story hacker's memory #i love these games but anything they want to actually be a challenge #really is just constructed like the world's worst self-torture device #i hope to god they realize just how anti-fun this idea of a boss fight is #you can't just throw all the difficult mechanics together and expect it to be a reasonable challenge #it's no longer reasonable by 40 minutes in when i am struggling to spam support end #but they almost always seem to hit their statuses #i'd joke and say i'm going to eat my switch cartridge but i have CE digitally on my switch so #i'm sure that theoretically there is a team composition that breezes through this stupid fucking challenge but like #making it an affront to god of a puzzle doesn't work when half your options don't work #texture blow would be a great way of dealing with these battles but NAH you can't status shit #what's even the point of letting our digimon LEARN status moves then?#i know i had some similar frustrations with the DS games but good god this game came out in 2016 #you can be better than this

Just taking a stroll on the cliffside with poppies around, not a care in the world.

#hermitcraft #desert duo #grian #gtws #gtwscar #goodtimeswithscar #hermitcraft fanart #mcyt #yes the first piece of art i post here in ages and it's hermitcraft. thought it'd be good omens but i always forget how to draw A&C lmao #this started out as a doodle. then i added dramatic lighting and had to figure out a background. so that happened #was always bad at painting backgrounds with grass and sky so UH figured it out as i went i guess #could i fix this up? yeah probably. but if i keep putting off posting this i never will. been a couple days already so. have at it #cut it into 3 versions with different compositions. because i'm extra like that (and bo made me realize it looked good horizontally too)#carime rambles #ALSO. I love these new brushes so much. SO much fun. and my painting one makes clouds INCREDIBLY easy. can't say 'expect more art' but also #this isn't meant to be anywhere specific btw. i just painted whatever fit the scene.#my art #grian is SO grumpy here. fills me with joy

M. It was impossible to make their name look good 😔

Notes:

- Main outfit based off the orginal skin for them (minus capelet). I might do a better design at a later point but I am out of outfit brain power atm

- They like nicer clothes (like sweaters and button ups) but are often annoyed by the lack of mobility

- Mask only comes off when alone or with people they trust. Their headscarf, on the other hand, is used to protect their hair, so they might take it off in public, but usually only briefly, to adjust it.

- The Moofia was important to them. Even after its effective dissolution, cows were very dear to them. Also cow axe :]

- Prone to annoyance and nervousness in equal measure. An asshole on bad days and tricky bastard on good ones.

Thats mostly it. I am going to be thinking about them for weeks to come <3

Diamond (the fox!) belongs to @twodragonsinatrenchcoat

I genuinely don't remember who the child was- feel free to tell me if you know :]

#crazy coconuts #my art #hbsmp #hbsmp!m #m #hb #unhappy with the composition but quite happy with how each drawing turned out #which is definitely the better of the two options #uhhhh.#yeah adding them to the list of characters that need a better outfit (calliope im sorry)#still. it fits them for now #also the delicate art of trying to make them compelling while also balancing hb (and not remembering half of it)#they are silly and animated. works good for the style and i like thinking of them as a bit of a trickster #i still want to draw them as a furry #uhh what else #idk honestly. in going through a bunch of recent stuff while making this i cannot believe how much of hb i missed #just in being so stuck in my head about everything. sorry guys. yall are all really cool #mostly ;)#but still. very happy to see a bit more love on hb. was always kinda sad to me that it got exploded immediately afterwards #i also really like how the main one came out. kinda want to post it by itself just because. again. hate the composition #idk idk. cheers. have fun. do whatever you want forever. i have tomatoes to go roast. o7
