#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi thistle #he’d have perfection within the first two years and spend the rest of his time decorating his farm and waiting for delgal to come back #these r fun for me to draw esp when i dont want to think too hard #i think i just like putting him in cute outfits #thistle dungeon meshi #stardew valley #dungeon meshi spoilers #mine

Doing master studies the only way I know how: Stealing them and making them my guys.

(Barberini Faun)

(The Fallen Angel - Alexandre Cabanel)

(Covent Garden - William Bruce Ellis Rankin)

#obviously. not actually theft...#i was gonna say these are public domain but covent garden actually isnt yet #it will be. in two years.#thats the most different one though like i added a whole new guy..#maybe not the most different. barberini faun is pretty different i just took the post #pose #its barely even a study. thats not true #but. what was i saying.#oh its not theft it's study... the purpose is to learn!!! but also. if im gonna spend like 2 days on something...#its GONNA be my guys #otherwise. idk. i only want to spend 30 or so minutes per study #just to get the notes down and the practice for the skill im working on #i dont get all that much more out of completely rendering a master study. PERSONALLY.#at least definitely not enough to be worth taking 100x longer #but making them my characters makes it worth going all the way!!!#plus it's good practice w like. not just going 1:1 but actually genuinely interpreting whats there so i can manipulate it...#again. personally. this is just how i worm #WORK #youd better worm bitch #uhm... anyways yeah. ive done lots of study but why TF share it LMAO i dont even save it #its just to learn. ive got 1 million other drawings to save and look at later.#once the learning is done it's done its job and i have no need anymore #this is why the only studies i have are from school. i had to save and upload them #well. ok also i dont study as much now BUT in my defense im a full time artist #an hour or so a week is different ok im learning while working too.. i learned how to learn and i do it all the time now #master studies #digital art #my art #illustration #my ocs

Look, there's so much that I love about certain otome but I really don't finish every route every time ?? But 7'scarlet, Steam Prison, and Norn9 all got completed! So they get the rec spots!

Honorable mentions: Nightshade (ninja otome, same artist as Norn9 thus I love it even if I haven't completed every route - Switch) Period Cube (I also fully complete it and the art is very nice imo and I enjoyed it a lot but it has really bad reviews from like. everywhere I see. but here's my shill of appreciation anyway - PS Vita) Sweet Fuse (it's just really fun to yell at men for being sexist - PSP)

But genuinely, there's a lot out there! Do the research on the game before you buy them! Not all otome are for everyone.

#moe talks a lot #why the hell am i spending so much time on these answers for otome just wondering #im asking myself this constantly while drawing them #also i am a hino defender and i want to throw hands with every single reviewer for the game (that ive read)#he deserves so much more appreciation IMO but i also dont wanna fight with people about it #everyones gonna like different dudes its fine just dont call him boring ill cry #im currently playing 9 RIP that someone bought for me and its also enjoyable but i havent done AS MUCH as id like to properly rec it #but well see because oh baby those character designs #ive already adopted like .... three characters #one isnt even an LI i just have adopted her as my daughter #wait whats that me adopting a side character while calling myself a freak for side characters? no way!#you have to understand first and foremost..... i am a huge fan of supporting casts #if i told you that the local cop has a beef with a 12 year old in 7scarlet is that anything?#i actually JUST googled bc I have been talking about the kid a lot tonight and i kept saying hes 12 #and im like i actually dunno how old he is #oh my god hes actually 12 how do i do it gang

got to see the total eclipse in person!!! heres some art commemorating that! cuz getting to watch 2 celestial bodies make out sloppy style was inspiring what can i say, also it was just rlly beautiful and cool and amazing to get to see ghg- but also! its like?? basically the moon finally getting the suns undivided attention... and thats got some vibes to it,, some energies... that i could not ignore lol.

#original art #eclipse #solar eclipse 2024 #total eclipse #doodles #original #artists on tumblr #ok sorry these r probably kinda sloppy looking. 1 paintings very difficult.#and 2. my brain wouldnt let me work on other shit before finishing these but i have other shit i NEED TO DO #so im deciding they r now finished i dont wanna spend any more time on them lol #i think they turned out ok tho #i recorded the process of me drawing them too so #there might..be a speedpaint. possibly #last time i said a picture would get a speedpaint was like 2 years ago and it didnt get one cuz my computer hated me lol #but! i have a new computer now...#if i find the time / energy to make that speedpaint.. then there might be a speedpaint #we shall see lol #i kno the height difference i gave them isnt acurate at all to actual sizes. the sun is bigger #but... this is what i wanted to draw gghgh-#if it makes u feel any better i did come up w a headcanon while drawing that they can just shapeshift freely n be whatever heights they wan #right now the moons just taller #cuz i said so #also sorry they kinda resemble my tak and gaz a bit… that wasn’t intentional… I just wanted the moon to be gothy and the sun be spiky #but #they kinda do look a bit like them ghg-

in honor of the new spider-verse movie i did a quick study of one of my favorite shots from the original !! <33

#my art #spiderverse #spider-verse #into the spider-verse #miles morales #i know everyone in the world has studied this shot! now i have too!#id like to spend more time on it next time i stopped after about 30 minutes so i mostly just carved shapes in #i think id also like to ! get some more different painting brushes bc i couldnt get a lot of the shapes i wanted #but it was fun trying to study this without color picking or directly drawing over the composition and everything #so i was just eyeballing it . ive been trying to figure out color relativity by Feeling it out so i wanted to do it this way #comparing them has been interesting ! i can see where i compressed some spaces of the composition #anyway it HAS been almost a year since i posted art here HAHA but well i just post for fun so it doesnt matter #if i posted ocs id have more art here but i prefer not to so you just get stuff whenever i make fanart #i would LOVE to do studies from the new movie but i dont have access to high quality screenshots yet #i actually did this as an exercise with one of my friends from college hehe we exchanged spiderverse screenshots to study #i also added some chromatic abberation you know just for fun . i made a version with it over the full piece but i thought well #i preferred it like this #anyway ! bye !

#bleh. i need half the country to pls stop being on fire. id like to go out and run pls. but its so smokey i can barely see the mountain #i live near :-/ also im just tired and frustrated. its incredible how quickly i vasilate between #things r going well. i should stay in my program and work with cyanos forever. to no no no im not cut out for this. i gotta leave. to yay #let me throw myself head first into consuming every second of my life with working. but only on the things that dont require me to think #which is y im not cut out for this and should be bannished to a world of only doing lab work and following instructions #also i have an screening interview monday for an R0DBT group. so i might b going to control freak classes #assuming i cant convince the lady that im not fit for thr class. which obviously i am bc im my therapist listed the ppl who r #usually put into r0dbt and i was like hm im a lot of those things. but also its 2hrs every week and thats a lot of time. and i feel like im #already on the path away from violently structuring my life specifically bc ive done so much damage #ugh. also i have ridiculously high self standards but i only do anything halfway bc i cant fail if i never try 100%.#so im like a fake control freak. or rather i cant even fully commit to being controlling. im lazy and i dont have the drive.#which almost makes it worse bc im stading at this threshold of control where it destroys me but never actually succeeds in being a perfect #thing. which is def a distorted way to think about it but there u go. ugh. im just tired and my arm hurts too much to draw bc #im older and older everyday. and i dont wanna read papers. i dont wanna grade or work on my presentation. i didn't want to spend 3.5 hrs #doing transfers this morning. and my mom's been dead for 6months and 3 days now. and i still dont kno where ill be a year from now #unrelated

Blocking that artfig//ht confessions blog as a form of self care

#someone said they got this beautiful piece as an attack but went to the artists toyhouse and --#-- found they were into kinks they didnt agree with so they felt weird with the art after that #like why not just. say thanks and move on.#another person was like #''well i got hit by a hurricaine so i wont be doing artfight because id rather spend my energy drawing things i /actually/ want to draw''#like what the fuck if you dont want to draw other peoples ocs to begin with like. if its such a difficult painful chore for you then-#-why did you join artfight to begin with???#and also if u arent going to do artfight why not just. put that on your profile #i think a lot of ppl just want free art of their ocs and have an ego about recieving/giving art and it makes it really not fun #i think if ur gonna do artfight um. just draw what you want and attack what you want #besides complaints abt the site itself and complaints abt like whitewashing or otherwise changing characters w/o permission all the rest --#-- are just kind of mean spirited. imo #ive seen people be like yeah well i dont like the artstyle of someone who attacked me so is it mean to not say thank you #like yeah that is fucking rude. you dont have to attack people back if you dont want but ignoring their attack is unnecessary #idk people really have their heads up their own asses abt artfight this year why are you even doing it -#- if you have 100 rules about who can attack you like why not just do art trades or st #lucipurrs

Look at these stickers my brain is literally so huge. God. I love them so much.

I hadn't tried to do a sticker sheet at home before because I knew it would be difficult, and I was right! Getting the cut lines to line up with the print was super hard and there were many failed attempts, but it was so worth it I'm so happy with them!!!

This sticker sheet is for my patrons this month ^^

#like seriously I wasted like 10 entire sheets #normally when I do stickers I get to arrange them on a 'print and cut' sheet #which basically has these black marks in the corners that the machine can scan so it can cut based off of where those marks were #so it gets to line up muuuch easier #but with this I didnt want to have just like 2 sticker sheets a page... I wanted to have 4 for an 8.5x11 piece of paper?#cause of obvious reasons I feel #cause the print and cut takes an inch all around #I'm not sure it would be replicable either tbh? like if I were to design another sheet I would have to waste a bunch of papers again #cause for some reason the individual cut lines werent like... it wasnt like it was just entirely offset or entirely scaled 1:1 #it was like some parts had to scoot up some spots had to scoot over some down whatever #so I think I would have to print cut and test again #but. also I did all that and realized. I could have been testing this on normal pieces of paper... I didnt have to use sticker paper #its fine! just makes me feel less bad about trying to do this again in the future #the sticker paper isnt that expensive this wasnt terrible #anyways. might do more in the future! I only have one other idea right now for a sticker sheet bt I wanna do it eventually #not like I wont ever have other ideas. obviously.#I just generally try to only make stuff that i'd actually wanna have so i'm not trying to make a ton of designs or whatever #this is actually also why i'm often sort of... late? on the patreon designs #not late like i send them out as soon as payments get processed for that month the design was for #but ideally id be making them ahead of time enough that people could sign up or sign off if theyre interested or not...#but I just dont wanna make a design that feels procedural... I CAN but I wanna make things that are creative and worth paying for!#so. I often will spend multiple days mulling over ideas for that months designs. so I'm not very ahead at all haha #anyways. yeah these are for october and then I've also gotta draw a halloween themed drawing for this year in general that will be the prin #i lov halloween #anyways.#patreon #merch #my bf didnt get it the gravestone box. its like a nerds box shaped like a gravestone...#and the nerds are. ghosts... its good. its good okay you agree

more bullshit

#this is such a good way to spend my time Im so fucking busyyyy #this also actually made me realise that its the second time ive drawn denmark as patrick/christian bale and its like. well its true but im #insane also #ive been wanting to do the fernanfloo meme for 50 years though because that most litearlly is already his outfit #but well anyways i got to give him a spiffy alternative fancy outfit that im kind of obsessed with #it may be that he doesnt have his stupid headband for 5 minutes or the bullet wound swagger but well i like him #litearlly no body is going to understand the context of the first meme until like. 6 volumes of my comic come out im crazy #well whatever. its for me ok.#i should have been working on my berserk drawing but instead.#my ranting #do you guys understand how long it took me to find the christian bale image without the goth bugs bunny i wanted to kill myself #then all i had to do was google ''christian bale so cunty'' and the second image on google was the fucking post...like goddd #''why is denmark in heaven'' well because the inbetween is all clouds so the backgrounds always are white please pleaspelaplseplease #i know i backed myself into a cornerrr thereee but pleaseee #Pleaseee #with that logic he should also be wearing completely white clothes unless theyre his normal outfit but i figured that would look Really Wei #Weird so i didnt do it #im aware no one cares and im inflicting these rules upon myself ok well the illness #...which is why i also tried to fit kyles binder beneath the dress which he would never wear bc of the dysphoria but i figured ok well. idk #the binder was built into the dress or something idk idk dont think about it too hard #''dont think about it too hard'' is the hardest thing 4 me. well i will think about it soo hard unfrotuantely #its 5 am #my art #kyle batillo #denmark newman #kar #it feels really weird to draw the 2 of them without ilya there. its like going to a hotel without the cuck chair.#like wheres my beautiful third wheel scowling in the background #cady will you tell him his hair looks sexy pushed back OK SORRY i should rewatch meangirls. for the millionth time #sad you cant see his giant gauges bc hair is covering but just remmeber theyre there k drew them.....

One thing ive been thinking about lately is that like

Its okay to only ever make bad art. Its okay to only paint "boring" things or only draw the same thing a million times or only be "okay" at sewing or crochet. Sometimes i think theres this idea that its okay to make bad art because its part of the process of making good art, but i think its fine to make art that is bad or just okay and not keep looking at it thinking about ways it is flawed or ways to make it better. If you want to improve and grow, thats great and you will through the process of just doing something over and over or looking for advice or other ways of learning.

But its also totally okay to only ever want to make bad art

#art #delete later #idk ive been thinking a lot about how like #for the last few years the vast majority of my art has been drawing d&d characters largely by tracing over refs #and just drawing the same things over and over #because it makes me happy!#and sometimes i just see this come off as like. a way to moralize taste/lack of satisfaction with how your work turned out #because that peice doesnt matter its just one step on the way to making better ones #but if you only ever make lumpy pottery thats fine! you made a lumpy pottery!#like my great aunts house is covered in paintings shes made #and theyre not to my taste they feel kinda generic and bland to me #but she is showing more of her art in her house than i am in mine and im like. which of us is happier as an artist #value your art where it is #especially if its a fucking hobby! jesus christ!#if its a hobby do you want to spend so much time and energy hating it you dont enjoy it anymore? fuck!#like i just finished a sweater and now a part of me wants to break fom knitting/crochet for a bit bc ive been working hard at it for a whil #and it turned out fine but with some fit issues i know to fix in future projects #but idk #i need to allow myself the freedom to let bad art be completed art #anyway this got weirdly sentimental #i should go paint some weird fish now #also from my own experience. it helps me appreciate other artists more #because it helps me stop going oh i could do that/could never do that #and i can just go. wow look at the cool art and technical skill on display

Art block is so fun and awesome (i am in hell)

#shut up me #I open my wip. I spend 2 hours on a small detail. i close my wip #this is gonna take 10 million years #I dont even really want to draw right now but doing literally any other hobby will completely absorb me #and i do have to study for finals still #so drawing painfully slowly it is
