30 day no fanart challenge

this is the meat of the challenge: no fanart for 30 days (oh wow lol) 1. drawing categories/prompts instead of IP: it can be *anything*, it can be food, hobbies/professions, folklore/mythology. eg: actual taiko drums instead of taiko no tatsujin characters, cute dinosaurs instead of yoshi, cool hedgehogs instead sonic (lol) 2. IF i happen to wanna draw fanart, it's gotta be at least 100 years old (anything before 1924) eg: drawing fanart of John Tenniel's Alice (1865) and not disney Alice (1951), Albert Lynch's Joan of Arc (1903) and not Clone High Joan (2002). ps: im not sure about famous people yet, but i think ill go with the same idea that theyd have to have been dead before 1924.

here's some stuff ive drawn with that in mind, even though i hadnt stablished the challenge yet lol

why a no fanart challenge? well well well, if this isnt another post artist alley eulogy lol

here's some background feelings: after having helped promote 2 japanese food festivals and tabled on both its artist alley's, and knowing myself, and having grown up in the age of comic/book to film adaptations and the rebootprequelsequelmagaddon, it's really hard for me not to fanart, even though i trashtalk hollywood all the time for not taking risks and doing original stuff, lo and behold, i do the same. who am i to judge _anything_ when i watched all three star wars sequels in theaters and crushed on kylux for years, i was kneedeep into hannigram, i gave money to the barbenheimer industrial complex. how can i blame RGG for not letting kiryu go when i _cried legit tears of joy_ when pirate majima was announced? (granted, it's not as bad as the kiryu situation lol but this is about ma$cots, not me lol)

i love a lot of characters, a lot of stories, im always jumping from show to show, game to game, and coming back to them. but i wanna go beyond my love for other people's art and be in love with my own, now that im at a better skill and mental state. it might not resonate as much, specially at the japanese festivals im a part of, but i wanna try. and im gonna start slow, i *am* going to draw japanese food, japanese animals, and create my tiny little scenes and see what comes up. i love stickers with every fiber of my being lol so ill always have in mind that ill draw stuff that i would wanna stick on my own sketchbooks and journals. but i need to do this, at least for 30 days. who knows what will happen later, you know? a friend of mine once said that colored pencils are like sugar, and graphite pencils are like veggies. and i feel like fanart and not-fanart is the same. we love fanart, but it's not healthy to only draw fanart... also i love people who delve into IP OCs and stuff, it always seems a lot of fun. i could try that, but i think ill cut my fanart ties cold turkey and then i can figure something out, i dont know lol i could go back to d&d character sheets lol another side note: i went to film school bc i loved watching movies. i wanted to tell stories, but i had no idea how, and i didnt think i had the talent for drawing. i started studying japanese and bullet journaling, bc i had the urge to draw, and those were the mediums that were close enough to drawing i felt i could try. and then hannibal happened, i had a roommate who was learning to watercolor, and i was like, screw it, let me draw hannigram bc i love them lol ive had the opportunity to make some movies, but logistically and creatively, they never felt as good as having the spark of inspiration, sketching, linearting, painting, printing and selling these tiny ass stickers. there is some control freakness in that, sure lol but there's also a need to build confidence in my own abilities, which sadly i didnt have a space for in movie sets... anyway, ill always mourn not having spent my teens drawing, but im making my kid self proud now <3 also i might post my new stickers at some point, i still havent made a pinned post lol but someday, you know so yeah, if anyone's reading this, ty lol TLDR: if you draw, write, sculpt, whatever, anything, and you tend to do fanart, ask yourself if you're fanarting a bit too much, if there's a way of turning your love for these characters/worlds into something different and more you.

movie sonic hcs bc why not

hes 12-14

sometimes makes snort noises when looking for something

purrs when relaxed

can speak the language of just normal ass animals, mainly owls

his owl mom tried to teach him how to swim once when he was younger. he got a little too carried away by trying to swim further into the lake, which led to him almost drowning. hes had a fear of deep water since then and refuses to go anywhere near it

used to living in nests, trees, and eating weird stuff

tended to stress his mom out due to being rlly active during the day, and she did not want him getting into possible trouble

initially he was really scared of humans due to his mother telling him that they were dangerous, especially since they werent used to his kind. tom and nan help him get out of this mindset tho

speaking of said tree? it was harvested, and while he managed to get out of there safely, his mom didnt make it (i hc her as a spotted owl since they have a subspecies in california, and the species in general’s main threat is timber harvesting)

his fear of humans worsen after that and he occasionally has nightmares of both the swimming incident and his mother’s death. he refuses to talk about both to anyone since its too much for him

he really wishes he could’ve done better to save his mom. its why he always tries to save parents so no one has to go through what he went through, and to make up for what he did “wrong” (there wasnt really much he could do since he wasnt there when the trees fell)

generally more emotionally sensitive than modern and classic sonic, since he isnt a well known hero yet and he doesnt have much of a reason to hide things, and plus hes like. in his early teens

half of this is so angsty already jfc me

car rides bore the shit out of him. he wants to Run

anthros in his planet have primarily elemental powers, but also secondary powers that connect to primary! hes basically electric/speed

his first attempt at spindashing led to him bumping into a wall

he loves carnivals bc he is keen towards places with lots of movement

doesnt know that swears are bad until he randomly said “fuck” once

whenever hes anxious, his quills tend to fall out (but since he has ~powers~ they quickly grow back in)

whenever hes in water thats not too deep, he floats on his back

most of his noises are rlly cute squeaks

chilidogs are so DELICIOUS to him that he feels like hes on another planet whenever he eats them

saw the sonic restaurant once and couldnt stop cracking jokes about it

walked on all fours often when he was younger and he still occasionally does it (usually whenever hes sitting somewhere and it transitions into just walking/running on two legs)

secretly likes ear scratches

tom buys him a phone and he plays mobile games everyday. sends memes to tom and nan every five minutes, overuses XD and keysmashes a lot, and fuckin eats up old ass memes

then he got fortnite and took note of all the dance emotes

also ofc he has a tiktok account. his first one was him running around and lipsyncing blue by effiel 65

sometimes wishes that other anthros like him lived on earth. even though hes under tom and nan’s care now, theres still slight loneliness lingering

he pays more attention to the beat of music, so when hes asked why he listens to gangster’s paradise hes like “because it’s catchy???”, then hes told about the meaning and hes just like “o_o”

he has fangs and hes not afraid to bite idc about what the currently known model tells me

AH ChitChat Notes 3 22 21

Chitchat 32221 with Jeremy , michael and matt ft disembodied voices of lindsay and maybe kaden , gus in chat and joins

Jeremy: Kaden spoke up because of donuts earlier… Michael: Jacks time is over now… but he will be on stream later. Jeremy: oh yeah schedule. Slight last minute changes doing Fall Guys first cuz S4 came out… me michael  lindsay and matt did a letsplay in it earlier today … gus will be doing fall guys this stream (eyyy)... oh yeah and i wanna impersonate what jack does. Matt: do it. Jeremy: and if you're watching on the site we can see your chat like FatHippoHippo wrote BET in all capitals … yeah i just wanted to get into the spirit and be like “what would jack do, what would he think is funny” and that was it. Lindsay: alsoone of those WWJD bracelets from the 90s What Would Jack Do… (matt: ive repurposed them) Jeremy: so how are you doing? Lindsay: good weekend i guess , just telling Matt we watched Big Hero 6 yesterday (Jeremy: aw hell yell) still an awesome movie , kids loved it. Jeremy: where they scared of - idk if he has a name the kabuki villain… *looking it up* apparently its Yokai… guess they never really say it cuz that's generic. Lindsay: that's VERY generic. Michael: IVE GOT TO TAKE THIS CALL *facecam becomes void* Jeremy: ok spoiler alert for Big Hero 6 but just looking at the wiki… it makes an audacious claim. It says “professor robert calahan OR ALSO BETTER KNOW as his villain name Yokai”... is it? Lindsay: well its based on a comic right so i guess canonically he has a name…. But to answer your question No they werent scared … anyway something we noticed upon rewatching is that 2 characters before a MAJOR event happens to the fistbump… but DON'T do the explosion… like oooohhh foreshadowing. Michael: not really foreshadowing if they keep doing it throughout the movie , if anything its foreshadowing that like… hell… whats the robots name - baymax learning it… not really foreshadowing the building explodes (gen notes MAJOR EVENT) … what blew my mind was that movie has a post credits scene. Jeremy: oh yeah was it like with the dudes father. Michael: Fred yeah! Remember remarking upon them entering the house theres a portrait of the dad and i just went “his dads just Stan Lee… just a portrait of him” Post credits scene and guys talking to painting and - wasn't paying attention but he like hits his head on it and the wall opens up to show a superhero room with paraphernalia everywhere and Stan Lee walks in like “son we got a lot to talk about” Jeremy: Chat asking about if i watched the wrestling PayPerView… remember how i updated you last that the guy died in the ring after being set on fire (Michael: lemme guess hes a zombie now) - yep exactly last night a hand reached up and grabbed someones leg , he came out of the smoke with a melted messed up mask so yeah…. Hes a furry (i think?) zombie clown Michael: hey wait a minute let me read the chat , someone named Gus said “whoa no idea there was a post credit scene”  “what is a fastfood restaurant combo wish would open” Lindsay: Miss my KenTaco Hutt… Michael: idk im usually just in the mood for SOMETHING , not looking to combine , only time is when i want a certain food and they don't have the same sides i want other places have . like Sonic is amazing for sides , apps and drinks… don't care for entrees , but if i could get Sonic sides at McDonalds or Taco bell or something.. Jeremy: guess in the same vein id combine Dairy Queen with a lot of places (Matt: i was about to say) to get a BLIZZARD with whatever. Matt: that's how it usually goes anyway , you get the food , you drive by the Dairy Queen and get a desert - you don't get the food at Dairy Queen cuz why - just why Lindsay: i mean theres icecream but there isnt really fastfood places for other deserts… like theres not really a Cake or Cupcake place (Matt: not yet *tilts head at camera like “you know what i want”* ) there IS the cupcake ATM Matt: alright checking the google… Michael: Matts checking the driving distance. Jeremy: another questions whil matts looking up cakes (Matt: oh i already have it) nevermind then. Conware asks “what is your fave controller for console and whats fave controller you own” Jeremy: Idk really… i know for a while everyones was the Elite 2 Michael: yeah just most comfortable. Matt: well that's like a specialty type… if its a stock one then the switch pro controller is pretty good. Michael: i mean i also have this 8Bit do SNES bluetooth controller thing , love it Lindsay: i love the nintendo switch controller grip… makes it feel like it curves comfy around your palms Jeremy: the XBOX sea of thieves one is great (Matt: i was about to say…) got a glow in the dark skull in the middle , RT is like a gold tooth , is partly see through Matt: and it comes with some exclusive stuff for Sea of Thieves Lindsay: yeah like Motion Sickness. Matt: i got one that's just a donut. Lindsay: gave me an idea… you know how theres Pez Dispensers (matt: heard of them) yeah and how you don't really even use them right you just eat the candy and play with the thing  ( *matt nods approvingly* yeah about right) what if we invent a controller where every once in a while it opens up to give a snack. (Matt: yeah like everytime you get an achievement, Jeremy: yeah i did good! Just go up to the controller and eat it) “You Are Good Boy” Matt: be funnier if it just throws at you “everyone have a fave seasons and followup do you like seasons where you grew up or where you are now?” Jeremy: i mean springs probably my fave its easy to be outside , not boiling hot nor snow everywhere… great time to camp and fish , falls cool with changing colors… texas is like “do you want REALLY hot or hot?”  Michael: i do really like Fall on the East Coast but its like - yeah i miss it and its nice to be there when it happens where its light jacket weather. I used to wear sweatshirts all the time - i don't bother with long sleeves in texas cuz i know im taking it off within 30 min…  never knew about the Water Cup thing until i lived in texas where restaurants just HAVE water cups… blew my mind its free  - because people will drop dead . noticed they just have this seperate stack of clear cups which is i guess like “i BETTER not see any soda in that cup THAT'S  A WATER CUP!”. I don't like it when its 105 degrees but i do like being able to just wear Tshirts most of the year and not dealing with snow Lindsay: i like Fall the most cuz like its blend of i guess i embrace the basic bitch stereo types of fall , want my pumpkin spice latee but ALSO i know halloween is coming and ive said before how THAT'S like my religious holiday so like… i come alive. Matt: probably fall , maybe winter. I don't go out much but fall is like the right amount of cool but not TOO cool. Jeremy: over the weekend me and kat went to a town called rockfort (i think?) which is like right on the ocean , the weather was a little cold for it , like 50 maybe and the sea breeze made it chillier… im not really a beach person just more water. You say beach and you think  like Boogie Boarding Bros (Michael: whoooaah boogie. Lindsay: beach volleyball) yeah .. id reather be on a rocky shore than a sandy beach. Michael: youd rather be like a mermaid sitting on the rocks *jeremy laughs loud* is that what you're saying Jeremy: yeah Matt: attracting sailors to their DOOM Lindsay: i gotta send you a link but theres this one TikTokker i guess that i watch that talks about that an eastern european beach she went to and was like “i cant wait to go on my beach outting yeah!” and she gets there its rocky , really windy , noones there and goes “ooh its really cold” Matt: depends the kind of beach to me… for me East Coast beaches SUCK *jeremy nods yep* its water you cant see anything in its terrible Lindsay: that's also texas beaches , all brown. Matt: its just one of those things where you get in the water and your like “ok… at anymoment i could be attacked by everything around me”  Michael: well that can happen on land too matt (Gen Notes WELCOHME TA JOISEY!!!) (paraphrasing jeremy here) Jeremy: theres this guy who flys a drone out over beaches into the ocean , and he released the footage… apparently due to there being a lot less people now theres just Great White Sharks that go relatively close to beaches now… there are times where hes filming people playing and like 10 ft away is a fucking shark ya know just swimming. And cuz they're really far away hed be like “id see it , film it , then go to a lifeguard and show it like “oh btw…” “ Michael: so you know 2 hours ago someone may have been eaten. MattL he should put a speaker on the drone to like announce the sharks like HEY! DEATH OUT THERE!. Lindsay: “whats that Dronie? Theres a shark in the water?!?” Jeremy: and it was funny seeing that behavior where everyonce and a while a shark would be swimming then someone would do something near it not seeing the shark and the shark just goes “fuck dat” and swims away MattL god dude…. So close to death *gus joins* Lindsay: oh you're the guy who was like Texas beaches have Tar Gus: oh yeah i grew up in texas and i thought all beaches were like that just “oh you don't sit on the tar”

✨🐝🍯💒🌈

* this post is only partially finished, ill add the last one i didnt answer yet in a reblog bc i already typed so much *

✨- which fictional character (book, show, or movie) do you relate to most?

oh, ok, asking me for my kins, eh????? ok. ummmmmmmmmmmm, ralsei and lancer from deltarune, peridot from su, dendy from ok ko, gandalf from the hobbit (no not the lotr ones yet, i havent read those), nd i guess any other fictional character who is a dumbass lesbian like me.

🍯- describe your favorite smell

well, let me think abt this. bc idk what this could be. like, i guess the smell of freshly cooked chocolate chip cookies, or like the smell of smt sweet in an old house that gives me vibes of toriels house from undertale. like, an almost wholesome, homey vibe.

💒- which show would you want to live in?

well, its a bit of a weird mix. but id say smt like adventure time, the 90s sonic games (ik it doesnt count as a show but let me live!!!!!!), ok ko, we bare bears, maybe even smt like homestar runner or battle for bfdi.

🌈- things I find attractive in girls/guys

ok, so thisll mostly be me lesbianing out, but like in girls; i find girls attractive no matter what, but generally im more of a butch loving lesbian myself. like, the whole short haircut aesthetic, or little to no/buzzcut hair, i would die for you. so like, i basically look for butches or bois in girls. also i guess a bit of nerdy shit and goth shit, im a nerdy edgelord, so ykno. but really, a big thing i always find attractive in anyone is personality. like, if you are an open, understanding person who loves hanging out with me, nd loves to talk abt anything, im already urs. idk what i find attractive in dudes mostly bc im a lesbian, but i guess like a dude who isnt jus transphobic or does those “triggered” jokes????? idk, thats like a lot of people that follow me on here. so yea, you guys are cool.

Best Song Intros

Intros much like chapter 1 of a novel can (and in my opinion SHOULD) give you an idea and a feeling for the rest of the song to remain relevant as well as entice you to hear the song or book out. Kamelot does this perfectly with Forever. Forever as a song kicks off the album in the same fashion. It gives you a great taste of what Karma as an album has to offer and sets the tone.

Forever isnt a slow build. Full powermetal blast at its finest with a very exciting and emotionally driven lead riff carrying you through thunderous drums. The lead tears away to reveal a powerful riff like something you'd find in a climax of a fantasy film score. As the riff resolves it fades into a calm and Roy Khan's vocals take the reigns of the sonic narrative.

Another unique yet oh so satisfying way to kick it off is with a little teaser followed by a full industrial kick in the face. KMFDM delivers with WWIII.

You might think you are about to hear a twangy southern tune "bout that girl got away"... Till suddenly a sound like laser bullets comes out of left field followed by a shredding loud chuggy riff and drums blasts you off your rocking chair and scares Linda Lou away. Industrial on a level you inly get from the top dogs. "I declare war on the world! War in outer space!" Nothing says it better.

During a live show I love the imagery of the song starting with a simple, but energetic guitar riff with a basic drumbeat that just adds a little each time the riff repeats. Just a long and slow seductive build. You can even visualize the banner slowly rolling down behind the band as the intro gets closer to full power. Suddenly when you reach full power a flash of lights hits right with the drums and the guitarists do Flying Eddie's and while the singer does a jump kick. And bam everything comes together. Nobody does this buildup better than Avenged Sevenfold and Hail to the Harlot.

With a toll of a bell the guitar begins while the drums roll out a simple beat with a few drumrolls. Real slow kinda gothic riff from Synister hits us first and then he starts up that cool higher pitched version o the main riff that shreds like a mofo . A progressive intro on a level that metalheads who can't tell you who half the members of Voodoocult are, can even enjoy. The higher pitch drops off with a mini solo that introduces a nasty dirty sounding Thrash riff rips out as we get closer to liftoff. This shredy riff takes us in where the vocals take over.

Imagine your adrenaline kicking off like the sound of guitar playing right before you do something baddass. Like theres a douchebag who wont take a hint from your girlfriend across the room while you were grabbing drinks. As you walk up you feel it get more epic as your fingers dig into your palms in those tight clenched fists. You hear the taste of that metal riff coursing through you and getting louder as you get closer to the hot juicy meat of his face meating Mjolnir's wrath, via you fist. An excellent example would be one of Minneapolis, Minnesota's finest. Boys from my hometown, Black Flood Diesel - This is How We Roll.

Its as simple and powerful as it needs to be. Overdriven guitar with a nice simple riff as though stepping up to bat. Simple tempo drums at first, then then the cymbals, a small moment with only guitar, a drumroll and Bam, your going to the playoffs and hes going face first into the punch bowl. Second guitarist and bassist come in and join the riff, solidifying its power. Everything in this song puts Black Flood Diesels best foot forward. Greg Moog's unique and diverse array of styles really come out in full color to maximize this songs versatility. This could even be used in a Fast and Furious movie during a street race.

Now its time to announce the mighty number 5. In my humble opinion the greatest of all intros. Whether you deem it Metal or hard rock (drumroll please) Welcome Home - Coheed and Cambria.

First its a mysterious accoustic guitar riffthen a wailing wall of sound hits as an electric guitar squeals out the same riff in all its glory. The epic dramatic rise to power featured on the album, "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV: Part I", is shown here. This overly captivating intro ensures your interest in this chapter of Coheed and Cambria.

Walking to the gas station to buy eggs feels like a holy mission from god on par with marching into hell to rend the devils head off with your bare hands. This intro is parallel to Darth Vader walking music.
