WHATEVER itll look completely different printed out anyway#ANYWAY !! FIRST PROPER ART OF THE YEAR HELLO#this year i would like to get better AT#COMPOSITION. SHAPE LANGUAGE. 3D FORMS AND SIMPLIFICATION#i like realism and its what im used to but last year i was thinking a lot abt art i admire and its always very Shapes#obv u need to understand realism to be able to do that which is why i go to life drawing#but yea. u have to practise BOTH at the same time theyre 2 diff skill sets which can feed into each other#anyways that was my big realisation last year#the last few pieces have not been turning out Exactly how i want them to but i have to remind myself its what i can achieve#at my current skill level and i have to keep studying and looking and learning if i wanna improve#anyways.

playing around w slightly different hair renders
#my art#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#jjk fanart#jujutsu kaisen fanart#jjk art#yuji itadori#megumi fushiguro#itafushi#fushiita#yuuji#megumi#cries megumi fought tooth n nail..... i refused 2 flip the canvas tho >:(#i vastly prefer drawing him facing right bc fr some reason it makes his hair look better silhouette-wise#so having him face left is alr a Challenge#but also having him slightly look down (difficult angle + changes the silhouette) had me bashing my head in2 th TABLE#same thing happened earlier this month w gardening megu middle pose . i did not learn my lesson#but even worse w this one yuuji's head is blocking th main pointy part tht basically carries the entirety of the shape language#u can imagine my distress i am sure#anyway th render made me a lot happier with it thank god. colours hard carry bless <3333#i didn't plan on making it a full sheet but i needed 2 remind myself that im good at drawing megumi#so i threw in solos of each of them n tried slightly different render flavours#idk how Different all of them look visually but th process fr each ws Very different so i am satisfied#fight aside this ws useful i think! got 2 break out some Clunkier chalks n dust off a few of my smoother blended brushes#think i picked up some things i can keep also !! which ws. u kno. the Goal#tbh every time i do art studies i feel like i am kirby#one time i got called an art ditto by one of my fav artist mutuals when i did a style challenge#SUCH high praise from her it lives in my mind i take it out on days when i feel like trash#it doesnt Sound good when u say u r good at copying but real talk it is such a good skill i am very happy 2 have it in my arsenal

Trying to figure out how to make squid boy emote because every time I've drawn him so far he looks very stern and it just didn't sit right with me. Also the more I played the more I noticed how his expressions change.
Anyway this is what I got so far. I plan to do more because hoo boy is it tricky to pull certain emotions out of him.
#BG3#Baldur's Gate 3#The Emperor#Ilithid#Squidposting#Digital art#artists on tumblr#I need a better art tag#I was gonna place these on the post next to each other but I disliked how much they shrunk when I do that#so long post it is#sorry about your dash#I know some of these are borderline OOC but I am drawing them to LEARN#Don't come for me#No glaze today we die like men#You can tell I was more confident with the first ones because my lines are darker and more confident#whereas the last 2 I wasn't pressing as hard because I was uncertain how to do these expressions

Finally revealing one of my other blorbos, Niccolo Sonata! A mixed genre troll who poses as a Pop Idol up until world tour
He's a complicated bag, he's half rock half classical, his mother kind of low-key hates him, and his dad does care but is kind of paralyzed with various anxieties that comes with the fact that Niccolo is half classical (worried about his constitution and his wings) and things related to his mother (she doesn't want Niccolo to become like his dad and puts a lot of restrictions on him)
Both of his parents don't really know what to do with him, and he doesn't know what to do with himself.
He has a lot of internalized hatred towards himself and the two sides of his musical families, plus he is a secret third genre (symphonic rock) which he doesn't fully understand. He got picked on a bit in Volcano Rock City, they're a lot rougher than he's used to so he just kind of took it, which is why he looks so roughed up in one pic and the other he says they hate him in VRC
Again he's really complicated even tho he doesn't look it, if you have questions about him lmk
#dreamworks trolls#trolls#trolls 3#trolls oc#trolls world tour#twt#trolls oc Niccolo#his father calls him Nicky#his dad did try to be a good dad and just ended up dropping the ball because he was worried about what niccolos mom would do#shes not a nice person#idk if you can tell#she does care for her son she just cant get over the other half of him#if that makes sense#she believes that even if he isnt full classical she can just make him#which causes him to run away from home at 18#he lived between houses for about 10 yr#and then the rest with his mother due to an incident#which will appear in a different comic#ill share more about his parents later#niccolo is kind of stuck up#and rude to people when hes off stage he doesnt mean to be#it just happens which he does eventually grow out of#his story is one of learning to be better not just for himself but for the people hes around#i think he probably doesnt have many friends until after his growth#tho he does have some its like 3 people who see his potential for growth and or tolerate his bad behavior#i have a few comics of him BUT i need to fix them before i post#cuz i got his wing shape wrong in ALL OF THEM#legit got them wrong in the two comics i have here and they were made 2 sec after i made his design#i had to fix them to post them#idk how i did that but i did smh smh

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

A-Qing, the little fox.
#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#a-qing#I needed to draw her happy one last time#i also really wanted to try my hand at drawing Hanfu. Clothing is still hard for me but I learned a lot!#the process was 1) get idea from the fox hairpin extra 2) thumbnail 3) look up references 4) accept that this is nearly an impossible task#5) do it anyways. For A-Qing#It has also been a while since the last better drawn mdzs. I've been getting better! B*)#I chickened out of having this be a ‘draw this in your style’ prompt….Perhaps in the future!#I want to improve a little more first I think. Psychically beaming my beloved mutuals to re-kick off DTIYS in my stead#I adore how A-Qing is associated with foxes! She is cleaver and quick to adapt! A trickster in many regards!#There is absolutely more to analyze here but I'm not well versed about Chinese mythology

JULIE AND THE PHANTOMS (2020) // JULIE E OS FANTASMAS (2011) 1.01 - Wake Up // 1.01 - Enfrentando Fantasmas -> Julie meets the Band.
#julie and the phantoms#julie e os fantasmas#jatp#mine#mine:gif#storytime: when i was in middle school i found myself to be obsessed with julie e os fantasmas (jeof)#and by watching it i have learned some words in portoguese which - later in my life - i have always wanted to learn better#besides that - in middle school i used to wear julie's iconic side ponytail !! i was THE biggest jeof fan like EVER#i used to watch it with my little sister and i would pretend i had some ghosts friends as well - popping out of my stereo (lol)#so... flash forward to 2020. i can't recall HOW i found out about jatp... it's just that i have heard of it and i was like hold on...#does this have to do anything with jeof? so i was super intrigued and watched the pilot and YES!! a brand new up-to-date remake#of my favorite tv show as a kid LIKE WOW. and idk i thought it was somehow underground as the og one ... saw NO ONE talking about it online#until up recently when i got back on tumblr (actually 2 years ago) and i saw there was this LIVELY community of people appreaciating this#show AS MUCH as i was appreciating the og as a youngster.#goes without saying that it was so surprising to me and it healed parts of me that i didn't think needed to be healed. wow. just wow.#i have never posted content for these two bad boys#mostly bcs i was salty that jatp was canceled (ugh) until now!! i hope you enjoyyyyy#ALSO i remember as a kid i was watching jeof on tv right? but i had missed some episodes so i remember LMAO going online and there was this#website (like a random person's own website) that was hosting all of the episodes. my very first experience with streaming series online

and i was thinking about it, i guess the reason my fine arts professors etc get a little frustrated with me sometimes is because to them I literally look like this at critiques:
#im not lying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im just like this#the truth is my deeper looking and more 'high art' looking stuff is just me fucking around#i have fun and im proud of that work. but its not predictable or sustainable for me as an artist#no matter how hard i try i get burnt out of that stuff if i try to do it on purpose#drawing mildly esoteric cartoons in incongruent mediums though? now thats something i never run out of LOL#in the end i just need to learn to 1) explain myself and communicate my ideas better while speaking (im more eloquent writing lol)#and 2) keep on just doing both. there will always be a place for my fucking around art. and im sure theres a place for the rest too#fine art degrees are crazy man. although maybe its just cause i live in ontario and our art institution expectations are. odd sometimes

#ok finally making a post about meds#I've not ever tried taking medication before. I was sorta raised with that classic 'dont rely on meds you have to learn to manage without'#I mean I was also raised with the idea that therapy is stupid unless you have 'real' trauma. and also like idk.#can't stay home from school unless your temp is over 100 or you're throwing up. etc. very suck it up mindset#so I was just really nervous to start. also of course worried about losing myself or whatever I know that's a silly fear but#it's also a common fear for a reason!!! anyways#so I finally was like 'I need to do something' when I realized I was so anxious I couldnt even get myself to go outside alone#like I just don't want to do ANYTHING alone to a detrimental effect. and it was butting into my ability to do my work...#for various reasons. but then ALSO adhd has been a constant issue with my work as well!#it is SO hard to write and draw on a weekly pace like I am without being able to focus#my whole life I've had these terrible nightmares constantly and I've always woken up constantly in the night#sleep has always been terrible so I've always dreaded going to bed.. ESPECIALLy because it didnt even make me less tired#it was more something that I just did because I had to.#but going to bed was always terrible. there have been times I was too scared to go to sleep for weeks on end...#I've been mitigating this for years of course. and recently I've been taking melatonin which has been helping too.#but I've also always struggled to get up. because I've always been EXTREMELY exhausted#but also anxious of what the day might bring... idk.#anyways it has all hit a point that I was like okay. I am doing as many coping mechanisms as I can. the psych said they were good too#but... it just has never been enough. it's never been enough to make me not tired it's never been enough to make me not scared#so I finally talked to the doc about it. and she was like youve def got smth wrong basically. which yah I know.. but yknow#anyways so I started taking wellbutrin. and I am so frustrated now. because it's WORKING#that constant looming sense of dread is gone. I'm excited to get up. I'm excited to go to bed BECAUSE I'm excited to get up#I feel like for years I've been holding on to the idea that I have to get up because I have to put something good out into the world#and I've been clinging to knowing that if nothing else. I am able to help other people feel better.#but now for the first time in my life I'm like. free of it. I didnt even know it was possible... and I'm so sad how much I've lost out on#and so frustrated how my whole life I've been told to put up with it and push through it. and treated like a failure for it being too much.#and just. It has only been 2 weeks. but the lack of anxiety is SO noticeable I'm so...#I'll never miss it. the adhd is still pretty present but like whatever. I can manage that better.#and I'm just crying because of all this combined.#I just. I hope I get to finally be the best I can be now. for myself but also for you guys!

i miss horses
#horseback riding is insanely expensive in big cities though#idk if ive talked about it here but i did do horseback riding for i think six? or seven years? something like that#i was super lucky i got to do that bc i was able to get my equipment 2nd hand and#and my mom had 2 jobs and she thinks every kid should have at least one sports hobby and#she knew how much being able to do riding would mean to me so she made it happen and#it did so good for me so i'm very thankful#*did so much good#man i was in such a good shape when i still did riding. by good shape i mean great ass.#anyways i was even pretty good at it. the coach always wabted me to compete but i was like#''hmm no ♡'' bc i didnt want to have to learn and remember what to do at which point#i do sometimes think about what if i started competing#probably not much bc idk if it works with someone elses horse but hey i could have gotten ribbons#anyways i miss it#i dont think i could even get on a horse anymore. i need to start stretching regularly#also im probably too heavy to ride a lot of horses#but i want to brush a horse so bad rn#pretty recently after i stopped riding someone asked me if i did ride bc they could see it on the way i carry myself#which was interesting but i get what they meant#sigh my posture was so much better too#also im kinda scare i wouldnt bounce back from falling like i did when i was younger#it's a miracle i never broke anything or worse#leevi talks

Ok actually
Solarpunks/embroiderers of Tumblr
Howmst does one Start
Like I have a little kit but I have no idea how one would do a project after I finish with this Kit nor do I know what’s considered good for a Beginner to start on
#out of queue#ani rambles#anis embroidery journey#im looking at the diagram for loop stitch and I have NO CLUE what the FUCK how the FUCK it works HELLO????#like the other 2 ok thsts simple enough but loop stitch??? HUH????#i have another kit I bought for cheap back at the house but I’ll finish this little one first#one of my problems with learning crafts is I always wanna do a Big Cool Project but know I don’t have the skills for it#but also know I absolutely don’t wanna futz around with Boring Other Smaller Projects I Wouldn’t Want#but I need those projects to build up to what I wanna do#but I wanna get better at not immediately going big and psyching mtself out of the craft altogether#like I know I’m not ready to embroider directly on beloved shirts or make fun long lasting patches but#what do I do. in the interim. to get there#is there like a lil tutorial i should do or smth

there's a point at which someone's fear of being a dick wraps back around to them just being a dick anyways
#im side-eyeing those who reblogged my post on ethnocentrism and missed the point#but im also thinking about the tags i saw on being too scared to comment on fic#the first is being ~too scared~ to write cultures other than their own#(1. my point was people should be learning *as they watch the show* not just when they write#2. i just. jfC. stop saying youre too scared to *try* to write from another culture/POV different from your own as tho its a *good* thing)#the second is just annoying/frustrating because being too scared to participate in community is how community's die#i dont want to be dismissive of cancel culture because i do know the stories and there is always indv cases of a person ready to be a dick#but like. its just *not* a thing most people have to be worried about. very likely you're just not big enough to have that concern.#anxiety's no joke but like. u dont just accept the anxiety as the excuse. you have to challenge it. i've been there but u cant feed it.#and i dont want to sound dismissive of that anxiety but im really frustrated with seeing people throw that excuse around#without considering how their fear-based attitudes/actions come off in turn#such as not showing fandom creatives any appreciation for fear of saying the ~wrong~ thing#which comes off as creatives' stuff seeming to be ignored completely or otherwise very discouraging silence#when the only rule for tags/comments is to treat others the way you wish to be treated and apologize if you accidentally tread a toe#and being more worried about accidentally stepping on a theoretical persons toe than interested in showing actual people gratitude#like? pretty sure im not the only one side-eyeing that like ''have u really considered this feeling/logic????''#again: its not saying that anxiety isnt a dick or easy to dismiss but i am saying maybe challenge it or at least reflect on it#i just#blahh#the commenting thing is way more mild than the other but tags arent for that conversation and i need a much better brain space for that one

(guy who never finishes her 80% done vocal synth projects voice) i need to practice with asterian 2... do my dearest asterheads have any hashtag song suggestions
#preferably jp or eng because those are the languages im most familiar with the phonemes of LOL#i do need to learn other phoneme systems though..... someday#i have a couple wips but i wanna play more with 2 before i decided which engine i want to use hee hee#asterian II is crazy btw i feel like someone saw that i was good at riding a bicycle and immediately put me in charge of a shipping truck#every vocal mode is into the stratosphere now its NUTS#like hold on. hold on. how do i steer this thing. hold on. very fun tho <3#tbh every sv2 native vocal has been lowkey unreal that ive heard#one pr problem this software has might be the fact that sv1 voices are so hit or miss on it. its slowly getting better!#but the ver1 support is. messy. and crashy <3 but as it gets improved and more popular voices get ver2 updates things will be fun i think#im still not over some of the expressiveness i was able to pull out of mo xu's trial...... these ver2 voices are Something Else!!!
