Hello! this blog is an attempt to categorize all* the art I've ever done! (more details on that below the bullet points)

It's still a bit of a work in progress with uploading previous work; once I'm done with that I'll start linking this tumblr on my various other social media probably maybe lol

#Tagging system:

(all art is also tagged with their title+year of creation. you could use tumblr's archive view to sort by year, but at the start of this blog I was uploading a bunch of old art a lil out of order so that won't really work for most work made before 2024 lol)

animation

More blog context:

"but Joanna, you already have another art blog and an instagram and a portfolio website where you post art!" Yes I know I have also been agonizing over this lmao. I've been just kinda thinking that man I make art for SUCH different audiences sometimes and I've finally relented to the necessity of dividing that art up into different accounts and places in order to give my work more clarity to those different audiences. BUT for ME I'd love to have one place where I can kinda just see everything and talk about all my work existing together... So this is what that blog is! It's All* My Art. I do love archiving and organizing things haha

This blog will also be the place I share my thoughts and process about a piece! Really going into the more traditional idea of "blogging" with this one boys

(*all is not quite accurate because for work made before 2018/19ish I'm just choosing what I think was significant to me/interesting in my journey. also *all except for I'll probably only put digital art that i feel is significant on this blog. see my peppermint-moss blog for a comprehensive look at all my digital art/animation and wips)

OTHER ART ACCOUNTS:

@peppermint-moss (tumblr + youtube) 🌸 digital art, animation videos, fanart 🌸 also see: digital art commission website (which are attached to the peppermint-moss name!)

@ joannaliang.art (instagram) 🎨 zines, artist books, some comics..... 🎨 more "visual art world" kind of things because most people who follow me there are from my university/similar spaces. a more 'polished' surface level look at my practice. (the place where I'd say things like 'my artistic practice...' and 'conceptually speaking my intentions for the piece were...' and whatever else lol)

portfolio website 🌱 the thing I'd send for applications/fancy people asking to see more of my work

this blog 💐 an attempt at a holistic catalogue of all of those things! + sharing my process/thoughts on my art

assorted warframe thoughts

i got asked about some in-universe hcs and scraps and ideas i had abt WF by @abyssopelagicsystem, so i'll put a few of them here on this sideblog with an illustration or two under the cut! there are warframe spoilers from the Second Dream onward ahead! also this got uh. long

1. TRAIT BLEED-OVER: It's already clear that emotional and mnemonic transfer is a two-way street - in The Sacrifice, that's made very clear! I like to think that this still happens in a mundane way, like, all the time.

i.e. when a Tenno leaves transference, the physical tics and strongest traits of the Warframe they were wielding still rub off on them in shades for some time afterwards. it's sort of like the more time you spend with a friend, the more you'll mimic their mood and learn their turns of phrase and gestures and subtly mirror them - except that Transference is a way more direct and undiluted bond, so it's that much more potent.

A Tenno stepping out of Limbo might, depending on how strong their bond is, find themselves moving their hands a little more grandly and fluidly than usual; they might be a little better equipped for guestimating complex mathematical scenarios for a while. An Excalibur user could present themselves as calmer in stance and idly more attuned to their surroundings.

2. TENNO BRAIN PLASTICITY: when the Zariman Ten-Zero accident happened, everyone was lost except the children. it's been alluded to before and i'm Absolutely about to flex that rusty psych muscle i've got in terrible ways but! it's been my understanding that it was precisely because the children were children that they could withstand the mind-bending effects of the void.

brain development of the frontal lobe/prefrontal cortex/etc finishes up around 25, or thereabouts. between this time and childhood, a human's brain shows amazing plasticity and adaptability when it comes to learning, processing, and creating new neural pathways. it would make sense that an adult would stare into the void and go mad, because they're just not equipped with that flexible processing power that a kid has; at that point, their brain plasticity has plateaued into the normal mature rates, so it would be much harder for them to tank a psychic hit the way the Tenno did.

that said, given their unusual shift in brain composition And their long nap, i kind of wonder just how capable the Tenno are of adapting now? do their brain functions decrease in efficiency anymore?

3. PLEASE SHOW ME ALL YOUR MOVES SURAH THANK YOU: Tenno are very keen on learning new and effective ways of slice-n-dicing their way through missions. Since the Ostrons are very much aware of fishing/hunting/handling zaws, I imagine that the more experienced members - who maybe have a neat little trick for catching a target unaware, or blade upkeep - operators would likely seek these dwellers out to learn from them in exchange for errands run or aid around their respective stalls*. these little trades are from everything to catching creatures to pulling off that very cool polearm flourish an Ember once saw an Ostron perform.

On the flip side, Zaw users love to spar with Tenno as well, and there's no shortage of willing participants there.

(*this applies to the Solaris too)

4. TENNO AS THE PERFECT CHARACTER CONCEPT:

this one is absolutely not well thought out at all i am just Adamant abt the fact that the Tenno are such a universally unique and yet fundamentally relatable faction that you can literally slap them anywhere. like, they have it all. they are Young, they are Ageless, they are Powerful, yet Fragile, they are Capable of Mass Destruction, yet they Care So Much. tenno are beings of brutal empathy and the cost of the hubris of others and if i had the spoons like i want i would write So much crossover content alright can you imagine a Tenno in Destiny. In Star Wars. in Fallout. they are liminal beings both in universe and out i love the tenno so much i love their warframes i love this game
