I made a new dragon guys!!! This is Jotaro as an Icewing, and I don't think I did too bad considering this took so long; this thing was 4 hours I have the non-sped up footage to prove it.
In this video I feature a new brush for the lineart (and logo), and a very depressed sounding voiceover, since I have been feeling burnt out on the dragons. Still though, if I can get people--- such as you fine tumblr patrons ---to pay me for these, then it will be worth it. Since I need some time to cool the dragon jets, I've started making a fake book cover for book series i'd really like to publish one day. It's not really called that, but it is very much my "vitae opus", or "life's work" for the folks who didn't want to copy paste that into a translator. it may not turn out to be my best work, but it's something i've been working on for so many years, I just simply refuse to let it die. Anyway, here's what that looks like right now:
Pretty sick if I do say so myself. I think it needs more background noise in order to make the falling objects not look weird (or maybe they just need different colors; color theory has never been my strong suit since most of the time i doodle traditionally with a mechanical pencil) But yeah, the cover is having the vibe I'm going for, so currently tracks.
Okay, that's it for me right now, I'll be scampering into the void until I come back with either a new video release or a fixed commissions rate. And now I have put in an audio URL and I don't know how to get rid of it, so here's this thing I found on Soundcloud because I'm too cheap for Spotify.
Alright, byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

WE SURE ARE IN FOR A SHOW TONIGHT!
[ID: a digital drawing of dio from virtues last reward. he is drawn like in canon, but missing the hat. he looks down at the viewer while pushing his hair back with his left hand (the one with the bracelet). he is smiling. the background is fairly minimal, using the dark blues from his shirt to create floor A and red to create the graffiti. end ID.]
[ID: the same drawing with a white background and minimal rendering. this time it is more obviously using a limited color palette from coolors. it consists of red, used for dio's jacket, sandy tan used for his skin, a golden yellow for his jacket and hair, bronze orange for some accents, and dark cyan for his shirt. end ID.]

that i ever loved patd more than mcr or even fall out boy (this would've been circa 2011-2013) was a severe misjudgement made by my teenage brain. i dont blame her, they're good but they just don't have the same emotional oomf (save for a few fever songs). or at least they didn't have the chance to reach their potential before breaking up (by "they" do i just mean GRRIII? maybe). obviously talking about pre death of a bachelor panic - anything after is not even in the same league (looking at you urie 👀)
#panic at the disco#i say this like i dont go absolutely feral for i constantly thank god for esteban#or listen to pretty odd at least biweekly#also i acknowledge gerard way and pete wentz had basically a decade in ryan so there is something to say about maturity and experience here#guess i'll tag#ryan ross#too#i weep for the poeticism that could have been

genuinely still part of me that thinks i can figure out what song this is. to be clear these are the lyrics not just the sounds. like i can hear it in my head a guy singing ba ba ba ba (or bom bom bom bom? bop bop bop bop?) la da dee da (ba da dee da?) doesANY BODY KNOWN WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT
3 am note trying to make sure i remember the song that was stuck in my head when i woke up
#i want to say it’s an emo pop punk spooky alt rock type song….#and it’s not i constantly thank god for esteban but it does have that vibe#i don’t THINK it’s a panic song but i guess it could be?#i want to say it’s definitely not panic or mcr or fob#could be like anyone else

Nooooo I forgot about Ryan saying his favorite song on Pretty. Odd. is Northern Downpour!!!!!! 😭😭
I'm rewatching the interview Ryan Ross did with crankthatfrank, and it's so funny to me each time Frank refers to him by both names. Like calling him Ryan is too casual. He's Ryan Ross. Also I totally forgot about Ryan countering and calling Frank "Crank That". I'm laughing way too hard at this.
#taste for I Constantly Thank God for Esteban being his fave at that point though. such a good song. it's one of my most replayed lately#ryan ross#ashley rambles

"SWEAR TO SHAKE IT UP."
(I'm going to dump some points in this post that I can link to elsewhere)
Ryan might have gone through a lot of phases and changed as a person over the years, but that didn’t alter the very basic ideas of what he wanted out of a band and how he approached things. (So his end goals didn’t change much… but the means to accomplish them absolutely did). Ryan wanted to push boundaries, do something different, shake things up, challenge listeners, create something real that was authentic to who he was at that moment in time, and keep experimenting instead of settling into a rut of what was comfortable/familiar. He had zero interest in following a crowd, catering to listeners, or trying to be likable. Ryan talked a lot about these views & goals in the early Fever era in a way that was almost defiant.
Here are some posts with more comments about AFYCSO & Pretty. Odd... I’ll leave a few of Ryan’s quotes here:
to AbsolutePunk.net in fall 2005: “If I could do anything to change the scene it would be to wake everyone up.”
to Big Cheese in early 2006: “Years back, bands were a lot better. Nowadays, I don’t know what happened. There’s this lack of effort to be different. We just want to open people’s eyes a little bit, and if we fail? What are you gonna do. Fuck it.” (obviously he romanticized the olden days even more as time went on).
in early 2006: “It’s always been our intention to write songs that haven’t already been written a thousand times by hundreds of other bands and to really push ourselves. Maybe we can wake kids up and get them listening to more sincere music.”
Nylon asked Ryan in spring 2006 how he would sum up his band in one line and Ryan said “it was our goal to open people’s eyes and change what’s going on.”
to MTV in September 2006: ”I feel like everything on the radio is kind of safe right now.”
in a Danish interview in October 2006: “But if you don’t gamble, you end up being boring or nothing at all. And we do not want to be a safe band, neither with our songs nor our shows.”
to the Miami Herald in late 2006: “We’re trying to do things to make a difference in what rock music is seen as right now.”
what Ryan said here in December 2006 is a good example of what he talked a lot about for both albums.
in this June 2007 interview Ryan was asked where he wants to end up and he said “It’s hard to say at this point. I never thought we’d get this far. I think the biggest challenge for [us as] artists these days is making great music that’s challenging for us and for people to hear.”
this piece that Ryan wrote for NME in summer 2008.
Neither Spencer nor Ryan were very subtle in early Fever era about their disdain for the modern music scene and the people who they thought were faking it (the kind of stuff that I Constantly Thank God for Esteban addressed). They both had incredibly strong opinions. My favorite description of the guys was an article in The Boston Phoenix that said “Panic are incredibly ambitious, surprisingly cynical, and mildly ruthless.”
I thought that their arrogance and defiant attitudes helped them succeed in 2006 when they had the chance. So many people were criticizing them, but Ryan, Brendon, & Spencer (and eventually Jon) were able to stand their ground together and work incredibly hard so they could actually perform at the levels where their rapidly accelerating popularity brought them. Ryan also talked a lot about how he didn’t want to write songs that were catchy or would sell… he wanted to write what he liked. Ryan had the ability to just keep moving forward & doing whatever he liked, regardless of what other people were saying about it. And that approach worked really well in 2005-2006 when the guys were on the same page for what they wanted to do.
THEY GO ALL IN
I thought one of P!ATD’s biggest strengths right from the start was their incredibly strong creative vision and how they were willing to take major risks in order to do whatever felt the most authentic to them at the time (which was true for both albums). They didn’t have some rigid plan for their whole look or sound… they said they just wanted to do whatever felt honest at that point. Even if that meant trying to trash the first part of AFYCSO in the studio when they decided they didn't want to follow that sound anymore lol (bless Matt Squire for stepping in).
Spencer told the Hartford Courant in spring 2008 that “We just know what we like and what we don’t like. We do exactly what we like, so we feel like it’s our band.” I thought all four guys had a noticeable need to feel a sense of ownership in the band & do something that they completely believed in.
I agreed with what their booking agent told Pollstar in summer 2006: “What amazes me about them is that they have such a strong opinion of how they want to be presented – visually, musically, everything. I don’t find that with a lot of bands.” They cared about how they were presented on every single level… their videos, live shows, website, etc. They picked a direction and then completely went for it in every aspect.
So they showed from the beginning that if they were going to head in a certain direction, they weren’t going to do it halfway. They didn’t seem like they’d ever be happy with anything less than their full effort. The guys also cared about what the band did to the point where they actually invested the majority of their own incomes from the 2006 summer tour right back into the shows. On a similar note – when Kerrang asked teenage Brendon how he would spend a million pounds if he couldn’t give any away, Brendon replied that he’d put it all into the production value of a huge, dramatic show. So not only did he love doing that kind of performance, but he was really personally invested.
We could see by 2008 that all four guys needed to be fully & personally invested in what the band was doing in order to be happy. They needed to go all in. Music meant so much to each band member that it seemed like it was a personal part of them. It's understandable why any rejection of each other’s ideas would’ve struck so deep.
Brent was the only member who could have passively drifted along with whatever the other guys decided to do. Ryan, Spencer, Brendon, and Jon all had strong opinions, lots of big ideas, and were heavily invested in their careers. Music meant a lot to them. This setup was a huge asset when they were all working towards the same goal in the Fever era, but it also looked like a recipe for conflict because obviously all four guys wouldn’t always have the same interests & goals as they grew. Ryan told MTV right after the split that “it got to the point where there might have been too many cooks in the kitchen.”
RYAN WANTED TO KEEP REINVENTING THE BAND
Ryan seemed to be one of those people who will create something awesome but then tear it down & rebuild it an entirely different way in order to challenge himself and keep things interesting. The whole band made a lot of comments over the years about how they wanted to try new things so they didn’t get bored, but the way Ryan talked about it was a bit different… as though continually pushing the boundaries was at the foundation of what he needed from a band. In 2008 Ryan told Rock Sound a story about his childhood that revealed the same restless creativity & curiosity that a lot of fans were noticing (in a good way):
“When I got a new guitar I decided to take the old one apart to see what was inside and never figured out how put it back together again. I used to take a lot of stuff apart when I was younger and stopped once I realized that when I took something apart it was broken and couldn’t be fixed.”
I’m not referencing much post-split stuff since I’m just trying to describe what we were seeing at the time. However, I really like this quote from Rob Mathes to Alt Press in 2011 because he knew Ryan well, and both guys seemed to understand & respect each other:
“Ryan Ross is a tremendous artist but a very restless soul. He wants to continually push himself. It’s very John Lennon-esque – burn the house you just lived in only to build a new one and then burn that one. Certain artists are that way: They want to set up shop and leave town. I think [Urie and Smith] missed what they had.”
In spring 2008 Ryan said that “Panic at the Disco is not defined yet. We’re barely started… who knows where we’re gonna go.” Ryan and Jon focused more in interviews that year on how Panic at the Disco didn’t have an established concept of their specific sound, as though they really didn’t want to be trapped with expectations or limits.
Experimenting and reinventing the band(s) worked really well in the early years when the guys didn’t have enough experience to know the specifics of what they wanted from a band beyond doing “something new” (I’m including The Summer League in this since Brendon was part of that for a bit before they totally switched gears to create P!ATD together). But obviously the guys would eventually be able to identify what made them happiest after a couple years of playing different types of shows & music.
THEY WERE AN INEXPERIENCED BAND WHO HAD TO FIGURE OUT THEIR SOUND/IMAGE AS THEY WENT
The band wasn’t sure what they wanted to sound like at first, which is why AFYCSO was split into two halves. Their sound was continuously evolving as they grew up. By summer 2005 Ryan was more into movie soundtracks, and that theatrical orchestration worked really well with the kinds of music that Spencer & Brendon were into. In the early days I think it was actually super helpful that they had somewhat different taste in music because they could build off each other as they figured out wtf they wanted to try next. This interview quote from Brendon to Hearts & Sleeves in early 2006 sums up a lot of what the band said on that topic:
“The way it comes out I guess is just a product of everybody in the band having huge similarities in music but we also listen to a lot of different stuff. For example Spencer listens to Fleetwood Mac and then will jump over and listen to Arcade Fire. I listen to the same stuff but then Iʼll listen to Journey more or some pop stuff. Or Ryan listens to movie scores or theatrical stuff. A lot of that was Ryan would pop up and be like ‘I think it could do this’ and Iʼd be like ‘whoah’ and Iʼd add some pop to it. Itʼs just a mix of different combinations of where we come from. Having only written maybe two songs together we didn’t know what direction we wanted to go with the band or how we wanted to sound.”
The band had no established image, sound, or fanbase when they were signed, so they were able to figure out the first album as they went. Their situation was drastically different while they were writing the second album, but it sounded like they still weren’t sure what they wanted to do by summer 2007 (after the cabin album wasn’t working out). All four guys talked about not knowing which direction to go in, but here’s a quote from Spencer to the Hartford Courant in 2008: "We didn’t really know what we were trying to do… I think we really went to some of these bands that I had listened to growing up.” Just because they went with a certain direction in July 2007 doesn’t mean that there’s anything strange about the fact that they weren’t on the same page a year later for what they wanted to do with the third album. Look at how the first It’s Time to Dance demo in fall 2004 was so different from what the band wanted to do by the time they got to the studio in summer 2005. I’d argue that Build God had more in common with the cabin album than the demos from fall 2004.
Basically, they didn’t stick with one specific style for either AFYCSO or Pretty. Odd. because they wanted to be free to experiment and try whatever seemed interesting at the time. They were constantly evolving. Letting the sound of the band be that fluid was a strength in the early years, but it seemed like it could also evolve into a source of conflict as the guys gradually got a stronger sense of what they each liked & wanted.
side note: in 2008 Brendon, Jon, and Spencer still had some of the same main interests that they had when they joined the band. Jon still loved the Beatles and Bob Dylan. Spencer still talked about liking the Beatles, Queen, & the Killers. Brendon still loved Queen, Journey, the Beatles, and show tunes (here’s something Ryan had to say about that). Ryan was the one whose tastes changed the most as he discovered more & more.
THE BAND CHANGED A LOT EACH SEASON
They seriously felt like a new band every few months… and that’s not even considering them as people. Just look at where the band was at the end of each year:
end of 2003: The Summer League was preparing to record some demos. They hadn’t met Brendon yet.
end of 2004: Panic! at the Disco was unofficially signed by Pete Wentz and needed to write an album now. They had still never played a live show as that band.
end of 2005: AFYCSO was out and P!ATD had already finished two national tours supporting other bands + a string of headlining shows. They were finally out of their van, were preparing for their first national tv performance and first international tour (supporting The Academy Is…), and were dreaming of what they could possibly do with their own headlining tours.
end of 2006: The Fever era was done. P!ATD ended the year by headlining NBC’s New Year’s Eve show in Times Square. The entire Moulin Rouge / circus whirlwind was over (along with the peak of the pre-split fame & hype). 2006 was intense.
end of 2007: they were almost done recording Pretty. Odd. and we were getting glimpses of what the next era might look like. (2007 felt like its own long era btw).
end of 2008: the Pretty. Odd. era had already ended. It went for less than a year, but seems like it should be broken up into 2-3 phases since the band changed so much in 2008.
Pre-split P!ATD only performed together for less than 4 years and they changed a lot even on a monthly basis. A performance from spring 2006 only reflects that one season (and honestly, the guys grew/changed a lot just between late March & mid-April alone). January 2006 was incredibly different from fall 2005... so summer 2005 when they recorded AFYCSO was like a whole other era by comparison.
I remember feeling like P!ATD had been 5 different bands during just the Fever era alone because of how much the band changed as they grew. They evolved a lot during the other years as well, which is why you can’t look at interviews from the Pretty. Odd. era as though those are some kind of context for the season when the band split. That’s like looking at interviews from late 2006 where the band was gearing up for the NRWC tour and then saying that something seems fishy because their statements about wanting to put on a dramatic show don’t line up with what you’re seeing from the band half a year later when they kept things really low-key, ditched the makeup, and actually wore jeans. The band members are complex real-life people who were constantly growing & changing... especially Ryan.
