A gift horse for @piosplayhouse
#better drawn mdzs#I worked very hard on that horse I think it's worth being sorted into the better drawn gallery.#I've been wanting to draw Verdandi for months now! They have such a cute design!!! Pio's designs in general are so good!#I did look up a bunch of horse references and sadly while I had high ambitions I could not replicate the bug eyes of the front facing horse#I instead encourage you all to take a moment and go look up front facing horse. One day I'll have more horse skill points to do it justice.#Regardless of all that; I want to give a huge shout out to Pio!#Thank you so much for being a voice of fun and absurdism in a fandom space that sometimes takes itself far too seriously.#You're unbelievable passionate and creative and one never knows what they'll get when you make a new text post.#And by the gods are you resilient. It is honestly aspirational to watch how you continue to persevere through the toughest of times.#I am sincerely wishing you all the best for this next year. May it be kind and bring your wonderful bounties.

[ Reflection ] About yourself.
Was listening to Shunkan Sentimental by SCANDAL at like 10 p.m. and stayed up until 4 a.m. to work on this. I didn't finish it right away tho, I still had to sleep.
Two extras below read more!
#Asa draws#my art#fan art#kirby#Meta Knight#Dark Meta Knight#I don't talk often of my thoughts on Meta and Darmeta and how the mirror functions#I like to believe the Amazing Mirror was once a tool for people to achieve dreams. wishes#slightly like Nova but not quite. the mirror could not bring these wishes to reality. you could only walk into the mirror#and face the outcomes of what you wished for#and maybe it was like this for some time until the mirror got corrupted#and maybe Meta looked once into the mirror. but never walked in#thinking of an easier time#In a way#Darmeta is the outcome of what would have happened if Meta had taken another path#if he had never gone to Popstar#They don't really like eachother. Meta because of what Darmeta represents to him and Darmeta because one of the outcomes of being-#-someone's reflection is holding some of their memories and feelings#and Darmeta. well... he doesn't really like that#I like of think of them having gone past the point of being just enemies and hating each other for things they cannot control and instead-#instead they work well together#they still just *tolerate* each other#but the advantage of knowing so much of another person is that you know how they work#so they actually make a pretty good team on a good day

I LOVE YOUR ART TOO!!!! My favorites are Rhys gives Tam a dagger and Tam gives him a kiss in return, and the Memento Mori one. Thank you for being awesome and bringing so much joy and great art to this community!
You are too kind! Thank you so much! I love that you enjoyed the Memento Mori comic! I am also pleased with how it turned out.
It might also make you happy to hear that I have 2 more Rhys and Tamlin comics sketched out! Have a small sketchy excerpt of one of them (it's where they meet for the first time):
#I was supposed to finish up a Rhysand as The Emperor tarot card for Rhysand Week#but for various reasons I am not feeling that right now so I will work on silly comics instead!#and some fanfic art for a fic I really enjoy#and then there's Eris week and villain week and Lucien week coming up holy smokes#plus me and copy and some others are working on a big surprise for tamlin week#so it wont get boring at all#wish i could draw faster honestly#i feel with every art level up i get slower lol#thrum replies#acotar

Going to have a BAD TAKE(tm) and say that, "why don't you go and make your own work, then!" should be a valid response to criticism
Like some of you are going, "this [piece of media] would be FIXED if they did [wildly different, niche interpretation of that piece of media that aligns specifically with what I think would be cool]" and... no it wouldn't!!! That's just fanfiction at that point!!! Go write your own thing!
#shut up smoral#i feel like i need to elaborate#when doing Media CriticismTM I feel like the primary goal should be to consider a) what the creator wanted to do#and b) how well they did it#so saying “the creator aimed for [this outcome] and did that by using 1 2 and 3” are all valid#and in terms of representation for a specifc character the same thing applies#so like if you have a female character that was written to be masculine#you could say stuff like “why did the author choose to make her more masculine?”#“is she the butt of the joke? is her masculine presentation respected in story? how is she treated compared to feminine female characters?”#you could even say “I wonder why the author chose to make the only female black character masculine”#which is a valid critique of potentially harmful stereotypes#but saying “WHY COULDN'T THEY MAKE HER MORE FEMININE” “SHE SHOULD BE MORE FEMININE”#you're no longer engaging with the work and instead projecting what you want to see onto the work#which is a FANTASTIC starting off point for creativity and I highly encourage you to write/draw your own story#but it isn't media criticism#and this same principle applies to other stuff I just used masc vs. feminine characters as a starting off point#because that was what got me thinking about it#also this was basically the entire culture of critique for the disney film Wish so be shamed okay bye

*throws I.N.T at Joe*
They shall be star crossed lovers/Large Joke (sorry if it’s unfunny, I just think he is cool as well as Marble!)
My dude, I would be DELIGHTED!!!! For one thing I'm really flexible with my OCS and don't mind AT ALL if people want to tie their stories together, or use them for their own OCs backstories or whatever, I just want Vykkers Labs to feel alive. I just wanna play in the space and have fun!!! And for another, your Intern is fucking cute, I would support them SO hard. I think Joe would be awkward and shy though lol

There are a few posts floating around with lots of love and encouragement for artists and writers, but can we take a moment to say thank you to all the beta readers and editors out there? Y'all are incredible. Your services are invaluable and I love you so very much. 💙
#i'm working with a beta reader for the first time in over a decade and I'd forgotten just how big a difference another pair of eyes makes#I've stared at certain parts of my work for hours knowing it was rough but drawing a blank on how to improve it#they're not even finished with the current chapter I've just been seeing some of the google docs notifs come in and it's like#oh shit you're right!!#got me all excited to keep working instead of getting frustrated#soy i know we don't follow each other but if you see this know that i would die and/or kill for you /j /silly#i wish i could buy you a cup of coffee or other drink of your choice at the very least you are amazing#file: storm has thoughts

it's really a shame I have to sell 40+ of my life hours every week for poverty wages instead of spending all my time and energy on dozens of creative and technical pursuits with unlimited resources
#nerd alert#lets see if i can list all the hobbies i wish i could be doing instead of working#drawing. both traditional and digital. painting mostly acrylic but id like to get good at watercolors. drawing/writing comics#writing in general. fiction nonfiction poetry lyrics whatever. composing music. music production. singing. practicing piano and guitar#performing someday maybe!#sculpting too. i always forget bc i never do it bc i am never in a place to justify buying clay. i should just get some#i think im fairly good at it tbh. anyway.#knitting. sewing. mending and modding clothes in general. embroidery. id like to learn to crochet at some point#photography and scrapbooking sound appealing. photo editing.#web design. game design. 3d modeling. these are all things i dont really know how to do much of but id like to#animation. voice acting. regular acting. honestly a lot of stuff in the filmmaking process sounds fascinating id like to try some of it#tarot reading. is that a hobby? im gonna say yes. jewelry making.#lots of these ive only dabbled in and some i havent even done that but would like to. but i have no time and or money to get into them.#i would hardly call myself a master at any of these. jack of all trades as it were. and thats fine im fine w that#but given the time and resources i think i could make so many different diverse perfectly average to good things#that people could enjoy in passing or say 'oh how neat :)' about

@vilemint I’ve been infected, you’ve infected me. I’m starting to draw this bastard while at work…AT WORK BABE.
Still figuring out how to draw her hair and a couple other features so sorry if she looks slightly different between doodles. 😅 PLEASE don’t hesitate to tell me if something needs to be changed, I want to draw her as accurate as possible.
Hope you like!
-Taro
#vileart >:)#oc art#drawing#doodle#drawing practice#sketch#mavis is my new hyperfixation#oh no she's hot#I drew this instead of working#bet you’ve never seen that tag before#kuroshitsuji oc#I wish I could shrink her down and put her in my pocket

i want to draw riza i dont want to be at work. but my problem is that i am Constantly sketching my beautiful princess on lined paper and sticky notes at work (i have so many things to do but i dont want to do them, iw ant to doodle) and they are not worth sharing outside of sending to my friends in dms because theyre not 'good enough' to show to the public. which i know is silly and i shouldnt care, but WAH i do ;<;
and i would sketch MORE on my fuckass tablet so i could have more complete drawings to share but its GIANT and CUMBERSOME and has like a 2 and a half hour BATTERY because wacom is fucking STUPID. and also when i draw on my tablet i enter a flow state and end up spending like 4 hours on one sketch anyway, having to wrestle with the charger and Interrupting my flow state, and by the time i have to turn the tablet off i dont even like the sketch anymore >:(
#mine#i wish i could ever be Satisfied with my art#i need to start doing studies. and just turning Them into riza#BUT THEN I GET HOME FROM WORK AND I DONT WANT TO DRAW ANYMORE!!!!! RAUUGHHHH#AND I NEVER DRAW ON MY DAYS OFF EITHER FJKUAHRHHGHHHHH#i was home from work yesterday and i couldve drawn All Day but i spent the entire day watching atla instead#which was still great obviously i love atla but RUAHGHHHRHHGHHH

sudden realisation that the thing holding my art back is that I never had an anime phase
#going to find a time machine and get my younger self into death note or smth#I have been driving myself insane for the past few years bc I wanna draw characters but all I know how to do is portraits#I’m trying to figure out how I could recreate smth similar now and tragically I think it does just come down to draw more :/#however! I am also going to try using brushes which will be bad for sketchiness and better for lineart bc I might need to force myself here#I just gotta simplify things down to basic shapes how hard can it be#[has been thinking this exact thing for years and it’s not worked]#I am getting better every time I do stuff I’m just not satisfied bc art is frustrating when you know what you want but can’t get there#god it’s 2am I should not be awake rn but I could draw again tonight so I was taking advantage#endlessly frustrated by hair. why is it so awkward. I need to understand hair better how do I do this#i have a feeling it’s bc I’ve not figured out how to apply the shit I figured out abt volume yet#I’m also getting impatient bc I’ve been trying to do a study thing for some art styles but I decided I wanted to draw ocs instead of that#when I hadn’t gotten to the actually important bit which was. making smth new. but I can still do that#and I ended up doing a different style anyway (someone pls stop me rounding everything make me use high opacity square brush for my health)#the Other problem is I never wanna switch brushes. like I want to use one brush for whole drawing bc the extra clicks annoy me#I wonder if there’s a shortcut to swap brushes#anyway I’m gonna stop complaining bc drawing is fun but god I wish I’d drawn some more pokey mans when I was a teenager yknow#ideally younger. would rlly like to not have to actually think to figure this out rn#I’m probably overthinking stuff anyway honestly and I KNOW I’ll get it if I practice enough but goddamn it is hard to practice#especially when my me insists on making the bad things look better by making it more realistic#instead of figuring out why the shapes aren’t working#OKAY IM DONE WITH THIS NOW. GONNA TRY NEW ART THINGS LATER STOP TALKING <3#luke.txt

#monster noises#might delete this later#but for now#I am a man severely troubled and apparently can't Not publicly express an emotion#it's a problem#but also I don't want to go to fucking work#I wanna stay home and draw and eat a cozy lunch and not be Super Anxious like All the Time#and perhaps more so I wish I worked in a place where there were more people like me#sometimes you go somewhere and even though the trip is short it changes your perspective#and you realize even if things are better than they were you're still kinda of treading water and gasping for air#but I don't have any clear idea of where I could even go#what I wouldn't give for a job where I am just given a task to do and then go home#and what I wouldn't give even more to not have to have a day job at all#to be able to have the time and energy to meet and engage with other artists and actually be a part of the things I want to be#instead of looking in from the outside#feeling like I can't#ugh idk I didn't mean to go on like this#but whatever#we'll see how i feel after my work day#if this post stays up or not#I can't access tumblr on my works wifi and I"m out of data for a bit longer so it's got at least 9-10 hours#and seeing that 9-10 hours written down is making me feel Insane :)

ALSO ..... BTW ... that door across from me is STILL peeped open. i may attempt to go in tomorrow if its still open
#its been open for at least a week now. its weird how they dont care to close it at least#although it makes me feel safer in these apartments if that makes sense. like. im always worried i didnt lock my door#but if the door across from me is creeped open for weeks and untouched then im fine even if my door was unlocked#its funny though. i have neighbors who i've seen leave their garages just wide open for hours and hours and are seemingly away#my one neighbor one time told me she just leaves her house unlocked always because this neighborhood feels so safe to her#even when she goes to bed and goes to work.#i wish i could feel that safe anywhere#the only reason im saying tomorrow instead of tonight is because with the stunt im pulling now (dumping clean litter outside on top of soap#i dont wanna draw attention to myself LOL. one thing at a time
