bruises on my neck / just a doll of flesh / you'll find my smoking body hung in wires overhead

sometimes you really do just get a bit too lost in the sauce of an idea, then you check the clock and it's almost 02:30. um. whoops. anyways, here's a catbox link in case tumblr fucks up the quality horrifically. my fault for doing this on a 4500x4500 canvas

#my art #maxine/maxwell #eyestrain #still need to sort out tags for this blog. weeps.#shhhhhshshshhh. lighting and fabric wrinkles and proportions and physics aren't real. don't worry about it.#i put so much effort into that lighting. i dont even care if its accurate. it looks good to me #i say this every time i post art but. i should post more art.

tango doodles

first you make up a guy and then you struggle to draw him correctly

#i need to stop drawing all the faces in 3/4 this is just silly.#gahh #anyways yes! im still on my quest to make tango look at least a little older #because every time i hear his voice the image in my head doesn't fit the sound at all.#dude has a raspy voice that doesn't exactly fit a little guy. if i could id draw him with more realistic proportions but i cant.#because um. reasons.#i can't just give up on my creachur cmon now...#ive noticed recently i tweaked a lot of my designs to be less cartoony. not sure if i like that actually. hm.#man i keep saying stuff like 'oh i gotta make weirder designs' but then i do the exact opposite??? huh?#i should stop trying to be normal. it's really hurting my image #GOD anyways. tags under the post yes.#tangotek #my art #sketch

day before a 5 day holiday weekend. office empty. got me thinking thoughts.

#thinking about raupi kaur hollie mcnish and the movment of populist poetry #how all media is populist right now and it’s no surprise its happening in a time of economic uncertainty AND a devaluation of art in society #not to mention a rise in anti intellectualism #thinking about how fanfiction is no longer a practice for writing but more an opportunity to get likes and reblogs #every day I see posts about how authors feel pressured to write for a specific character because all others are ignored #to you I say the mass market appeal is NOT worth you writing something you don’t care about #your audience of 20 will be more endeared to you BECAUSE you are feeding their niche #thinking about the inherent dichotomy between art and money because once you create for the common denominator you lose something #look at marvel movies - hell the state of movies in general: ZERO intellectual curiosity #everything is made to be consumed by the most amount of people #and it SUCKS ITS FUCKING GARBAGE #art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable #if everyone finds your work palatable then it’s not art it’s content to consume #RANT OVER #… or for the next 20 minutes until I get another thing to Think About

i really want to ramble more about yuusha and yuuna (+ other ocs) but l just feel embarrassed just saying random crap about them without art attached jsbsjs

im literally going to be sharing a piece of my rotted brain i'll feel exposed

#[—✦ rambling #and that’s probably why they feel so random every time i do art of them 😭😭😭#i literally just do whatever i feel like i want them doing at the moment #consistency? dont know her #if i just do random lore drops i feel like that'll be more fun and consumable than long rambly posts that make sense to no one but me LMAO #and if anything is contradictory it's probably not on purpose #(the way i’m also figuring out my own oc lore as i go 😔)#anyways i say all this and then proceed to never do what i say i should do

Day 3 - favorite character

guess.

#kingdom hearts #zexion #KHTober 2023 #KHTober2023 #i do actually like the zexion era of ienzo the best out of the three distinct phases of his life #because. to be honest. i love amoral bastard characters with something extremely wrong with them.#almost every time i end up liking a character who gets a redemption arc i get nostalgic for how they were before that redemption arc #that isnt to say i dont love ienzo (baby) or ienzo (adult) though! zexion is just the most fun to me #also the answer to how many days can i stay ahead was apparently 2. yesterday was busy #here we get into a question of quantity vs quality #should I skip more days and spend more time on making the ones I do look good?#or should I try to get in as many as possible?#I think I might stick with the second because my problem is that I can't get myself to draw At All usually #and i didnt feel like doing any more with this #me art #me post

I remain fascinated by their pathetic nature.

#Sighs wistfully. Remember when I mostly posted ShrimpShipping fanart on this account? We should go back…#Except this time my art will be way better and I won’t have the personality of a middle schooler #I think this is the first digital art I’ve posted here actually. Jesus.#I used to make posts about wanting to get into digital art like every year on here lol. Well it finally happened!#All it took was getting freakishly obsessed with a different guy and all of a sudden the art was overflowing. But Rex is still my roots.#I’ve been feeling nostalgic for them recently what can I say? Maybe I’ll even get crazy and post MORE art of them #But of course I always say that so. We’ll see where my heart takes me…#BrownieSnivy.art #ShrimpShipping #rex raptor #weevil underwood #dinosaur ryuzaki #insector haga #yugioh duel monsters

brooo these fucking TIME DIFFERENCES are PISSING ME OFF 😭😭😭 i took a nap here and checked the clock app to see what time it was in America and i saw 12 and i was like oh alright sure i can post because im past my usual time anyways. and then i wake up from anothe nap and check the time in america and it turns it was actually 12 AM when i checked. AM. not PM. because im not there and my usual schedule is messed up!!!!!! i hate leaving the country it ruins me. and also i dont have universal service so everywhere sucks just keep me in my state ill be satisified

#whoops i say as i desperately scramble to find a way to unpost a post #ugh...... whats done js done. im not goig through all that effort to repost a post #the killer art is gonna get like no attention but its ok its ok i dont do it for the attention (for the most part)#anyways it looks good anyways and i completed 2/3 of the jk trio so mentally im satisfied #satisfied enough not to chase that high of attention ‼️‼️ me when i have basic restraint #yeah i'll admit i like seeing the attention. im not prideful enough to LIE about that #but im also not prideful enough to go after it too much. only post at specific time because then itll get likely to be seen #and then thats IT!!!! no mlre...#i may be a person who's never experienced any sort of internet attention before tumblr #but im also a lazy uncreative fuck who cannot be bothered to do anything until its really late #it'll get my minimum proudness of a post note count of 20 in like a month anyways so its ok #god i cant believe im actually posting my srt. i would NEVER last year at all #i do not have a lot of pride in my art i should probably fix that. im trying. boom there fixed!#im simply not good enough i MUST improve more ‼️‼️ i MUST be better i MUST be more flexible i must be A BETTER ARTIST!!!!!!!!#im a not good enough artist in my eye until i can draw a good everything in every style. i must be a jack of all trades #an admirable goal i know i know im very focuses on that. i say as i make no effort to improve aside from baby steps #i think this is more real tricule than tricule rant. this has naught to do with mtt #real tricule

I SHOULD HAVE GONE INTO RADIOOOOOOOO

#the only benefit of art school is MY FRIENDS!!! maybe i would be better at art now if i hadnt gone bc i could have kept it as a hobby...#but i do love everything i have learned. i really do. unfortunately i think more than anything i am just bad at existing and doing things #i used to be able to do things. in high school. existing i still wasnt good at doing that there either. but at least i did things on my own #and at the time felt i was good at them. now im just bad at existing and doing things and do nothing worthwhile that i love anymore #oh it sucks to have this realization every other day. to just know you are very bad at what you wanted to do so badly. and just feel like #all you can do is give up on it. i know i shouldnt. but it's very hard not to want to. when you see everyone else around you getting better #and still doing art on their own time. and you see your own stuff and realize you have gotten worse. dont progress. and cant even do it as #hobby anymore. when you see how far behind you are from everyone else and see how your work has lost confidence it just sucks badly. yknow #i wish my brain worked better desperately bc i do think that is part of it. but im just lazy. and bad at this. and have no drive for anythi #im not very good at any of this overall. and it makes me sad. im the only thing in my way of what i want but i dont know how to move forwar #oh well. one day something better will come my way if im lucky. if i do better. one day i'll do better. i hope. i really really hope.#static.soundz #vent.txt #SORRY i got whiney and self pitying in my tags even though i said i wouldnt well unfortunately I Am Not Strong and need to make posts #bc this is my diary where i say everything ever good and bad beneficial and detrimental bc what else should i be doing with this blog huh

sometimes i think that i should be putting him in more complex compositions and dynamic poses and cool outfits and color palettes and pretty rendering and detailed backgrounds and more characters and story-driven comics and personal meaning

and then im like. that's the fucking devil talking. dailyeca is and always was supposed to be a low maintenance blog where i draw an eca a day and this eca can be the most scribbled motherfucker in da world but as long as there's a daily eca then i've succeeded. when i have time to add cool shit i can absolutely do that but even if he's just a sketched up bust shot at 11:59, i'm doing enough because that's just dailyeca babey.

#eca orichird #daily eca #we do what we can. i am doing enough.#for a lot of other things i always feel the need to make masterpieces; art larger than myself and my scope; something with heart and soul.#dailyeca is truly like. not everything has to be perfect. this is my grimy grumpy little asshat and i can do whatever the fuck i want.#(including cursing because goddamnit i am no one's pure little angel baby anymore. i am not here for your judgement anymore.)#im not trying to impress anyone here. dailyeca has always been art for me first. i never truly announced this blog in the beginning.#if no one looked i'd still do it. i draw this angry lonely boy for me. if other people want to see i appreciate it but that's secondary.#that one tumblr poem post. ''you say 'it’s my villain era''' by ridinkskinned. sometimes i feel like making eca was my villain era.#what i mean is that sometimes people hate things when they hit too close to home. what i mean is when i first made eca i felt repulsed.#i can be angry and rude and imperfect and alone. i don't need to facade or fawn or listen at all times and be the perfect little nobody.#i can be flawed and i can still be important and i can still have a happy ending and have people love me without need to change me.#i wrote that i wanted to draw ecas with more personal meaning but every eca posted is a personal meaning in of itself.#you get it. (you probably don't. but that's fine. that's secondary.) i should work on creator and creation again.

I learned what a bullet journal was by watching a few YouTube artists set theirs up and my algorithm spiraled out of control from there so I guess I have all the bujo influencers to thank for getting into it because it has been a godsend so far on my third attempt, but damn if the over emphasis on aesthetic over the actual practical organizational aspect of it doesn't rankle me a bit

[thirty rambling tags later] huh. I didn't know there was a thirty tag limit in all the years I've been on tumblr. Whatevs I can't copy paste the tags onto the main body because I'm on mobile and I don't want to write it out again so I'll just summarize the last bit here:

If you are browsing the bujo tag because you feel bullet journaling will help you but you feel intimated because you don't think you can make it look pretty, or that the bullet journal method could never help you because it looks exhausting or the inspo you see doesn't cover what you need, I am pleading with you to ignore all the pretty inspiration, take the most common and even original Ryder Carroll formats and spreads with a grain of salt and eliminate or change them as needed, and talk to people who have similar needs than you even if they don't bujo and suss out what's important to keep track of. My bujo is eighty percent important medical bullshit, because that's what I need more than a book tracker. You prolly have your own unique needs. And hell, if you want a book tracker then add a booktracker. It's your bujo to format and plan out.

So like if you want to start bullet journaling, go to Michaels and get a seven dollar Artist's Loft dot grid journal. Or a binder you have left over from school years past and print out your own dot grid paper if you have enough ink and paper and printer that can do double sided (Kevin McLeod's site I forget the name of has free adjustable dot and other grids I've used), or buy a pack of 8.5x11 dot grid paper, and grab a crappy hole punch that just barely does the job. Get yourself a nice pen you think looks and feels nice in your hand and on the paper–or if that doesn't matter to you go get pack of Bics or even pencil if that's what you prefer (I use a pencil for things I can't have be permanent, like temporary meds or the dates of yearly vaccines). If you're twitchy about messing up then get the cheapest wite out they have (but don't worry about messing up especially if you're not even showing it off to anybody). A cheap yellow highlighter if you think it'll help. And a ruler if straight lines are important to you. I lost mine so I just wobble my lines now I don't care (and it's marginally easier to get a line adjacent to straight with a dot grid)

Anyway. If you want to bullet journal but don't know where to start or how to make it pretty or how to make it work for your needs, just try it in the cheapest way possible and rearrange the guts of the bujo as you see fit. And don't worry about the optics as long as you can make sense of your methods and writing.

(and for the love of God if you're bipolar don't make an hourly mood tracker yes our moods can and will fluctuate throughout the day but goddamn was that a bitch to log and abandoned a few weeks after inking it out)

#i see this with in regular journaling/diary circles too #people saying 'i want to start a bujo/diary but I'm not good enough at art ☹️'#like more power to you if you can make it pretty but it shouldn't be the primary emphasis especially with how useful it is #(it's especially depressing with just regular diaries and journals because like. you're under no obligation to share that shit with anybody)#I'm on my third bujo attempt because i got overwhelmed with my first two because i didn't know how to customize it with me and my needs #the most i got about symptom tracking was like a weekly layout checking off if the criteria was hit #and mood tracking was like daily smiley or frowny face in the corner #like my siblings in planning that is not enough for my chronically ill bipolar ass lol #i went way overboard my first attempt with just mood tracking. i planned it out HOURLY. every week #and that got overwhelmingly tedious and i use overwhelmingly deliberately. so i just stopped mood tracking #and then the whole thing got overwhelming so i stopped it entirely #gave it another shot because my method of scheduling things and symptom tracking was to write appointments and symptoms on post its #and pray they didn't fall off and i could remember where i even put them #and i see a lot of doctors so that was a LOT post its to keep track of #so i did another bujo but had the same problem as lack of resources and inspo and how to make it work for my needs #plus future logs were hard to parse AND i often felt too tired to lay out a new month or two every time #so like there were just whole months and the symptoms and appointments within just missing and i might as well not even have a bujo #so i stopped that one too #FINALLY after a little bit more watching Ryder Carroll and looking at prefab medical planners that were still woefully inadequate #AND MORE IMPORTANTLY talking to my fellow chronically ill. mentally ill. disabled. or all three. friends on what i should jot down #i finally got a system that worked for me thus far #i got rid of even staples like future logs and just laid out a monthly calendar format because that was easier FOR ME #and i laid out the year in advance so i could still have the scheduling part of i was too tired to do entire layouts at the beginning of the #month #my mood tracker was merged with my symptom tracker and turned into a symptoms *list*#with a section for every specialist i see. mood stuff just went under psych/therapist #also i switched to a binder format instead of a bound book for even more flexibility #i can easily remove things i no longer need. i can rearrange what goes in what section. i can easily add more to a section before the next #bujo #bullet journal

Idea first came to me after I said something like "a thousand needles sewing you to a canvas of pain" and so I decided to make it real as best I could.

#does this count as #sculpture #my art #color says shit #Ford's Art #<- figured I needed an actual art tag since I'm actually doing more stuff so that's it I guess.#now I have to go back and edit the tags on all my old art stuff #gonna tag this as #body horror #just in case. some of those threads are actually going through my skin so it's worth tagging.#anyway. I'm finally finished with it! ngl I finished and was like 'what if I don't post it I just keep it privately?'#but I'm continuing my exposure therapy by posting art publicly so here.#anyway. it's no dismembered hand stitched to a canvas but it's the best I could do without going full Hannibal and committing medical crime #I used glue at the start to sew through before giving up and just figuring out how much skin I could get the needle through #I'm gonna feel it tomorrow for sure #do you have any idea how hard this was with just one hand. I had to use my toes as extra fingers to thread the needle every time I ran out #I wanted more tension on the threads but with only one hand and anchors that threatened to rip out I couldn't really #plus the left side was easier to sew because I was using my left hand. the right side was significantly more difficult #as evidenced by the significantly worse stitching on that side #I think I should have stuck with the glue though because it makes the pull marks like I wanted #it makes the thread have more of a meat-hook feel and weight rather than just light thread pulled through stiff skin #I like the left side better than the right. and the upper right is the least convincing

do you mind if i ramble in the tags about my weird relationship with making art in fandom for a second

#as someone who is studying art as a career one thing i have realized and also been explicitly told by various teachers #is the fact that having a 'consistent' art style is so overvalued sometimes that it ends up limiting you as an artist #literally i'd say 99 percent of the stuff we do in uni doesn't require consistency. it's actually valued when there isn't one #after all it is about learning and honing skills isn't it #so it has kind of put my personal conflicts in a different perspective #because before i started this degree i used to struggle so much with creation in non-academic spaces (which is pretty ironic. i know)#because the ppl and art i admired was mostly composed of art in fandom spaces #and the most appreciated artists in these spaces tend to be the ones who have a nice defined unique style #which isn't bad. i actually do still wish i could reach something like that #but it made me not want to create as much as i desired because i felt 'inconsistent' and i took that as a negative quality in my art #and it was so frustrating because nothing i tried seemed to 'stick'#which was also due to the fact that none of the varyingly different styles of drawings i posted seemed to reach many people #and yes i have heard time and again the whole schpiel of 'creating for yourself is better and quantity of likes/notes shouldn't mean as muc #to you as long as you're satisfied with your art blah blah blah'– c'mon. we all want our creations to be admired i'm tired of pretending #like i don't. i put it out there for a reason and it is for people to at least acknowledge it. it's the point of fandom. it's community #it's interaction. or at least it should be. that's another conversation though #so anyways since i started uni some time ago this frustration has been receding but it's very much still present #even more so when i get excited about doing/drawing something and then halfway through i get that pull in my chest of like. i'm actually #starting to hate it bc i can't reach what i want to #and so there's this disconnect that happens because i have many ideas and desires to create but i feel (even if it might not be true)#that i don't have the skillset to meet those ideas #which literally happens to almost if not everyone i know i'm not alone in this. it still sucks though #so i end up with about a dozen unfinished works monthly bc i start it/i reach halfway and hate it/i look at art and get inspired bc artists #in fandom are SO talented/i go back to it/i still can't reach the skill level i desperately want/i abandon it indefinitely #it's a horrible cycle that i really haven't been able to escape lately #it's also worse when you're at a time in your life when you don't actually have the opportunity or the time to try to achieve consistency #because you really just physically don't have the time to practice. which is the number one advice every good artist will give you #i am running out of tags but the point is. i hope we stop subconsciously putting consistent art styles in a higher pedestal bc it can be #very stressful for artists who struggle to find that in their creation #art related

Introducing: The Life Series Comment-a-thon

In light of several of the content creators involved mentioning negative comments on Wild Life, Secret Life, and Life Series videos in general, I want to suggest an event that encourages people to leave positive comments on life series videos as well!

The life series has some of the kindest and most supportive people I have ever encountered in fandom, and I think the creative minds behind the series deserve to get some of that love too. There is no starting or finishing day to this event, as the intention is for fans to leave kind comments highlighting what they love about Wild Life and the Life Series in general, over the course of the current season. I have devised a total of eight weekly comment prompts, making an educated guess as to how long the season will be based off previous season, intended to encourage you to leave a comment on at least one video per week.

There is no time limit or minimum word count for comments. Just be kind, be honest, and don’t tear other creators down in the process of trying to build others up (“[X creator] is so overrated, people should be watching you instead”, “you deserved to win so much more than [Y creator]”, etc.). Without further ado, The Life Series Comment-a-thon:

Week 1: comment on at least one video telling the creator that you liked the video!

Week 2: pick a team/alliance, then tell at least one person in that alliance that you are really enjoying the dynamic of their team/them collaborating with the other member(s) of the team.

Week 3: tell a new member or one who skipped one or more seasons (Gem who joined last season, Ren, Mumbo, Lizzie, Skizz, and Bdubs who all either missed or did not originally post their POVs of a season) that you are happy they are on the life series.

Week 4: Most of the creators involved in the life series are male, but we know that those who are not get a larger share of the negative comments. This week pick one of them (Lizzie, Pearl, Gem, and Cleo) and tell them that you enjoy their video/their content/etc!

Week 5: leave a comment on someone’s video mentioning at least one specific thing you enjoyed about their episode/their season.

Week 6: pick a person whose videos you have not yet commented on in this event and leave them a comment saying you look forward to their episodes every week/season.

Week 7: write a short, positive comment (e.g “I loved this episode” , “this was great” , “keep up the good work”) and leave it on every POV you watch this week.

Week 8: leave a comment on someone’s video mentioning at least three specific thing you enjoyed about their episode/their season. Alternatively pick three videos to leave one specific compliment on.

Week 9+: repeat one of the previous week prompts, or better yet combine two or more! You can pick yourself, use an eight-sided die, or a random number generator to decide for you.

I know commenting can be scary and that it can be hard to find the words. At the end of the post, beneath the the read-more cut, I have a list of suggestions for what you can bring up in a comment. Just below this you will also find a list of things you can do to let the content creators know that you love their art that are not commenting!

Other things you can do:

Like ten comments on a lifer’s video

Like every video you watch

Watch a video from one of the less popular content creators (subscriber wise, or within the fandom) on the day it comes out

And most importantly:

Reblog this post and/or repost it to other social media platforms to spread the word of the comment-a-thon!

A list of questions to spark comment ideas:

Did a joke make you laugh?

Did you catch them making a reference to another season, SMP, or piece of media?

Did the creator interact with someone in a way you enjoyed?

What made the interaction stand out?

Did they build something you thought was pretty?

What part did you like best: the shape, the blocks they chose to use, how it ties into their season, or how it ties into the terrain around it?

If they have a new skin, what is your favourite part of it?

Did they use background music in a way you thought was especially fitting? In what way?

Did a change from one scene to the next feel very well-timed, smooth, or narratively fitting?

If you did not notice any scene changes or cuts, can you think of something the creator did to make you feel immersed in the story of the video instead of the video making itself?

What do you hope happens next? (be sure to tell them that whether it happens or not you still look forward to watching the rest of their season)

Did something surprise you?

Did the content creator say or do something that made you have a new idea?

Did you learn something new about minecraft?
