hong kong miku,,,
#hopping on the trend jumpscare i’m from hong kong surprise#i haven’t seen that many hk mikus around#lowkey chat i think i kinda ate with this one#however i will say i am coloring in the dark so if any colors look off that’s why#and also i haven’t opened this program in literal months i jumped straight into this no warmup no nothing#miku is what pulls me out of art block apparently i was locked in for 5 hours STRAIGHT#someone needs to teach me how to paint properly holy#not sure how i feel about the bottom left one but that was a quick one anyways#i am from hk originally but i haven’t been back in years so i have no idea about the culture other than food and mirror#OKAY let me explain the context#street food is a big thing in hk and quick and easy things like fish balls egg waffles and like siu mai and wonton noodles are popular#back then people really would just squat down on the side of the road or right in front of the shop to eat it and go#but i don’t think anyone does that anymore city life and all that#ohh i should have done instant noodles breakfasts god i loved those#if anyones from hk if you go to the causeway bay mtr station exit that leads up to the big road near sogo. do they still sell siu mai there#that shit was BANGER i remember asking for them all the time#a good majority of parents in hk would get their daughters ears pierced as a baby something about them not feeling as much pain idk#that’s just what i was told#i used the neon for her friendly standard greeting cause i wanted to incorporate the neon signs somehow without actually drawing a whole bg#lots of neon signs in hk. i heard they had to take them down cause of light pollution which is sad but understandable#everyone got their shoes from dr kong. at least when i was younger they did#boy band is self explanatory. i heard they’re really popular my mom listens to them#oh i had her messing with her shoes cause hk people move FAST. you stop for one second and you get shoved#so like a fun little allusion#gave her black roots just for fun. she is violating every school uniform code possible#this is all based off of my memory by the way so like. anyone who knows this better than i do hit me up#hatsune miku#miku from my culture#jellos scribbles#i haven’t tag yapped in so long welcome back my love i missed you

Class got canceled so I drew while zoning out to music with the extra free time
#ralsei#deltarune#ms paint#doodles#when my art block hits hard enough sometimes i just need to put the fancy programs away#forget about large projects#and just scribble#i draw the same ralsei over and over and i realize that#but its something i can draw while my brain is being stretched thin in other areas right now#that being said i do try to do something new every time i draw him so i dont get tired of him#i took what i learned from doing maomaos eyes the other day and applied it here#turns out all that you need to fix uncanny anatomical issues is a little perspective... literally#and then the glasses highlights covered all of that fun linework up lmao#haha you'll just have to trust that its under there

front/back of a bookmark i made for my program's bookmark design competition
#top 3 get 25 bucks and i need all the money i can get in this expensiveass city tbh lol#if nothing else tho it hopefully(???) got me out of my art block funk#if you Really tried ig you could guesstimate what school this is for. but that'd be weird. don't be weird#my art#grad school#artists on tumblr#mlis#the theme i was going for was sorta like 'information getting passed down through different eras of technology' something like that#last person is a semi-self portrait of my 'working in the rare books archives vault' days. good times.#also my drawing tablet literally died when i was 80 percent done with this. most of the coloring was like me doing finger painting JESUS

an encounter between two newly anthro’d wc ocs
+ just my emo girl
#kiwifae draws#my ocs#goshawk#snowcap#technically#warrior cats#this is the first piece i’ve drawn in actual months#i needed something new and apparently anthros was the key to actually have fun drawing for the first time in a long time#furry art#cat furry#hey if you see this and like this i’d really appreciate a like/reblog#a compliment would literally make my day#not to beg for attention but lately i’ve been posting and getting literally zero response and while i ultimately do art for my own joy#it’s also. really fucking discouraging to put something out and have absolutely no one even interact when i know how many ppl it goes out t#even a like makes me smile. and even one reblog helps spread my art#just knowing ppl are at least seeing the work i put a lot of effort into is really nice and support definitely helps with my art block#luv y’all 💕

#. having some struggles with art lately#like I'm struggling with Making The Art y'know??#it's not art block because i HAVE the ideas and the desire to draw but i just. can't#i don't know if it's stress or my bones shifting weird or just being tired or what but Something is keeping me from drawing what i want#when i do draw something it doesn't turn out looking good and other times i can't force myself to draw at all#which really sucks because I'm on a time limit for a lot of art!#I've been trying to work on Artfight for ages‚ a zine I've been waiting MONTHS for applications to open‚ making stickers for my DnD group!#all of those have very specific time limits and i just! can't! get! myself! to! draw!!!!!!#i might delete this later i just needed. some way to vent it out#this didn't turn out how i wanted either but that's sorta the point lol#idk. just feeling really stressed out about it i guess#vent#vent art#three eyed cats in my living room

we have an especially bad migraine where I noticed us getting aura (mostly being pissed off and upset in a specific way) for several hours before it started and we've taken pain meds but I'm not sure they've actually helped. they have definitely given us side effects though and I feel very spaced out and nauseous and generally shit.
we've also had way worse ADHD symptoms for the last few days to the point of being pretty much unable to focus on anything besides like 2 things we've hyperfixated on. we've had so much trouble starting tasks and keep struggling to hold a train of thought or focus long enough to even figure out what we need to do each day despite having all our Habitica dailies to tell us.
our brain is all over the place and I'm not really sure what to do with it or what would help but it's just occurred to me that sometimes our ADHD gets really bad in the buildup to some of our worst migraines and now I'm just hoping that both the migraine and other shit ease off soon because I'd like to be able to function
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#vent post#posts made on pain meds#I've spent like 6 hours drawing today because we fixated on one piece of art that I originally started as a joke#but I probably had other tasks to do and I don't know what any of them were and I tried very hard to at least make a list or something#but just could not hold a coherent train of thought and got really overwhelmed every time I tried to think of stuff I needed to do#so I gave up after a while because I realised my options were to keep trying and failing and just get upset and start dissociating#and end up doing absolutely nothing while feeling really bad#or just go ahead and draw for as long as I can handle because our brain's fixated on it and at least I'd be doing something#and it's also nice to actually be able to work on art for any length of time after having such bad art block so far this year#oh I did also shower shortly after we woke up which was our main big task of the day I think so that's something to be proud of#our tourette's has been bad and that made it surprisingly difficult and it was kind of stressful and exhausting but we did it#it's also just occurred to me that our tourette's and ADHD and a few other issues have all flared up together#followed by a particularly bad migraine which is a pattern we keep noticing and first noticed back in December#and all these issues are known to involve dopamine but I can't figure out what exactly is going on#when it happens we also start getting sensory overload way more easily

#venting in this blog as it has less than 100 followers but#it makes me so sad to see some corners of the tolkien fandom feel like#they have to resort to AI “art” to depict their characters#ive observed some used to pay for loads of commissions and now its all AI#i get that its free and that people would rather not draw if they feel they dont have the talent for it#its a chore for me too sometimes i get it!!#and then they post it on various art and fic sites and im like#shaking them by their shoulders pleading for them to stop#if you need to use it for help with character design when your hand isnt skilled enough to like#siiighhh i get that ok fine#but then just use it as a reference and try your hand at it#i complain sometimes when im doing art but it really is a thing of beauty and inner peace when you can make something with#your own hand#even if its bad to some peoples eyes! but then you gain the valuable skill of blocking out the haters

you can probably easily tie my mental state at any given moment to how much ive drawn in that same period
#in this case. not at all since the year started and god it feels awful#i miss drawing........ no matter how much i really want to nothing rly comes out its getting dire#i cant tell if its art block or burnout or a bit of both but its really doing a number on me#even that animatic i made an effort to start i didnt get past one section im in agony#and i need to start prepping my portfolio for college apps also..........#its really been a new kind of downright terrible lately im really getting tired of crying myself to sleep every other night#grasping at straws and constantly distracting myself with manga or sudoku and thats been going absolutely swell#ngapain gw masih hidup juga ya#gk mau mati tapi dari kemarin juga udah ngerasa kayak zombi aja hidup begini#sighhhhhhhhhhh#duck rants about something

Gods I'm so glad I have the power to draw stupid ridiculous things. I've had two ideas in the last week for art pieces that made me cackle like a little gremlin for 30 minutes. And already, my decision to follow through on these ideas has been a great success!
It is very important to feed the silliness gremlin!!! Ze offers gifts of happiness and naturally occurring self-improvement! Should ze wither from lack of food, so shall artistic motivation and the joy I find in my craft!
So you see, it is absolutely vital that the gremlin be allowed to thrive and grow on a steady supply of shitposts and profoundly ridiculous pornography.
This will, in turn, help with my depression - making this fake isekai cover as well as this very dumb video game porn I just made into Medical Necessities, Actually. 😌😤🤡
#original#honestly I don't know if anyone else is going to find these things funny but I am going to share them when I finish#because it doesn't really matter if people have a different sense of humor than me. as long as I'm not hurting people with my jokes then#I'm really at peace with the fact that some of my jokes just aren't going to land#how did I come to peace with that fact? I hung out with people who didn't need me to bat 1000 when it came to social interactions#i love you fellow autistics. i hope you (and anyone reading this) give yourself permission to make something absurd and just for you#it was such a game changer when i realized that in order to be able to take joy in art again i basically had to follow every silly whim#i remember how exciting it was when after years of art only for profit and exposure i just made something just for me. it was incredible#and I know that if I ever want to finish my graphic novel with all its Big Important Meaningful Ideas then i have to make sure it's#not blocking me from feeding the silliness gremlin. I have to get distracted and draw dumb shit. and I have to do it without feeling guilty#because as soon as I feel guilty for doing something fun with my art then the graphic novel has become more of a chore than a work of love#and I refuse to let this be taken from me like that. not again. not with this.#art helps keep me alive and silliness helps keep my art alive! anything threatening my ability to make art poses a threat to my very self#I am deadass serious when I say that silly little things are necessary for living.#and i am very much serious at all when i say i am a GENIUS WHO HAS THE FUNNIEST ISEKAI IDEA EVER#I mean I was well and truly cackling I don't know if you've ever heard someone genuinely cackle in person but I CACKLED#*very much not serious at all

#thoughts aloud#i don't really feel like this anymore i just need to get this meme out of my system#and write some thoughts i guess#i have 50 something followers on my artblog if you're curious#i actually don't mind this!#i'm not like those youtubers who are like *noticed you guys watch my vids but don't subscribe...don't do this*#i enjoy my art a lot and my friends like it too!#and i would keep it this way <3 it's sort of cozy#my unbreakable 5 notes swag B-)#also most of the people who follow me over there: are from the askblog days (they've been inactive since 2020 in the best case)#bots who are 20% better than the pornbots at pretending being human people (couldn't block them out of pity)#and people who probably forgot that they follow me. i do draw rarely haha#uuuuh....#what i wanted to say is#thank you for liking me for who i am and enjoying my art no matter whatever i drew mariya if you're reading this#<3333#have a nice day! :)
