For the last day of requestober, can you please draw something spooky/scary with Negative RGB? With all the cool lighting stuff you've been doing recently, I think it could be very dramatic, and I'd love to see him in your style!

Day 31 -Pl̷̼͙̯̼̟̈́͒̃̓͆e̵̢͔̞̤̯͗as̴̨͆̒̏e dö̸̧̢̝̳́͝ not̸̨̞͔̗͆̔͝ͅ ̶̦̋͒a̵̪͋̉̈́̒djus̶̪͔͎̘͈̍��̂̅̚t yö̶̙̺͎́͘u̷͚̙̿̓͆r sc̸̙͍͒rę̸̰̺̣̿̓͌̔̎en̴̏̈́͊ͅ

#My art #Requestober #The Property of Hate #TPoH #Negative #Flashing gif #I wanted to go out with a bang :)#I had a lot of fun with the textures on this one haha ♪#I have actually drawn Negative before but I've only posted him once as a vent :0 #He didn't make it over to my taglist 'cause TPoH was the Thing while I was making that sideblog lol - a few things fell through the cracks #Plus I mean vent is just like that sometimes :P #But! He is not vent here! He is just funsies! :D #And those textures were definitely funsies >:3c It was very cool to chip away at them and let them interplay and overlay hehe #I did really want the lighting to be the highlight - no pun intended - since you mentioned it specifically lol #Backlighting again! >:3c I will continue to do it until it stops looking cool! Haha ♪#The rest is just Negative being spooky all on his lonesome haha he's just like that!#Doing his screen glow was very rewarding ahhh ♥ I've always really loved that hard/soft glow look #I'm still figuring it out but I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out! :D #Also would you like a secret/hint on textures? Hehehe - those static frames? :3c #They're just zoomed-in carpet swatches on the Binary layer type - turn them up and down and rotate to make them unique!#Anyhow hehe ♪ Happy Halloween! :D Happy spooky season! Thank you all for a fun month!! <3 <3

I made a similar post before a long ass time ago for the other three da protags but now it's time for rook, this time in poll format <3

as always feel free to ramble about your ocs in the tags!! 👀

#💾#dragon age #mostly threw this together bc i think it's a fun dragon age character development question #and i wanted to bring some oc community engagement to the dash today #community? comradery? positivity? idk #← rare moment of me not minding if one of my posts breaks containment #ive had this sitting in my drafts forever and kept forgetting about it so whatever. go my scarab #also i want to make a spirit version but i cant have 2 polls in the same post. L #anyway. for lleyth it's actually hard for me to figure out for once bc like i could see pride for obvious reasons including solas #but at the same time i think lleyth is... actually quite humble and does not believe themself to be any better or more qualified than anyon #like they dont want the position they're in at all and they doubt their own leadership skills constantly #and they do what they must bc they have to. not bc 'they're the only one who can (do it right)' like solas wants to believe ab himself #and i think people who make good targets for pride are people who would do anything for power. lleyth does not want that #which leads me to think they would probably be targeted by despair.#i think they are someone who is used to being forced to lock away their sadness and either turn it into useful rage or compartmentalize it #but there is just. a deep and profound sense of not belonging anywhere and doubting their place in the world/others' lives #and if they weren't the type of person whose instincts kick in like a failsafe and make them keep fighting no matter what #i feel like they really would be stopped in their tracks by an overwhelming feeling of futility and misery #and there are a Lot of miserable moments in lleyth's life a demon could use to manipulate that within them 😔#plus despair seems to be the polar opposite of determination. which considering spite really likes/is drawn to lleyth... yeah. yeah #and the fact that despair demons constantly single out rook in combat is like. haha whats going on there bud........#and i personally think the inverse of this question (what spirit would be drawn to them) answer would be determination #bc damn kid you don't know how to quit. you will punch up at the cost of even your own fists and it's admirable #constantly swinging at something bigger than you that you cant take down etc etc #*take me to war by the crane wives starts playing as i lean out over the balcony smoking a cigarette*#take me to war honey i dare you. i'll be the sweetest thing to ever scare you <3 etc etc #plus its also tasty to me to think about lucanis having to break them out of the Despair Mind Prison #by chipping away at all of the awful things they believe about themself. as payback #🫵 get loved and adored idiot

yippee a wippeee 🌟

#wip #my fics #project E #update time: I’m still laying face down in the parking lot BUT I’m slowly untangling myself out of the mess I’ve made #been chipping away at different scenes and it’s just a matter of tying things together properly #that being said I think I’ve rewritten one of my chapters like 4 times now and I’m still not happy with it 😭#plot is hard but DAMMIT I’m gonna figure this out #(the best I can at least. UwU)#on a different note I’ve started working on some character designs which has been really fun to do again

the boy-but-not-that-way-ism of riz gukgak send tweet

#not art #have been chipping away at a more... proper? so to say. piece of the kids for keepsake. and since its of them at the beach Im rotating #gender stuff in brain again. riz and gorgug ping a lot of the like funny gender stuff in my brain #very specifically adjacent to cultural understanding of it all... like I did say I do think riz has a gender and it can be #translated to ''man'' in solesian understanding but also that boy has close to no self awareness nor does he want to #he grew up as ''goblin'' before ''boy'' and it's kinda how he perceives himself. got a gender but doesn't wanna do much with it #kinda imagining him seeing his grandparents again and realizing that there's a gap there between himself and his grandpa too #and sitting with that for a bit. not for long that kid doesnt do that but for just a little bit #man I truly really do love that riz is aroace. my boy of the unquantifiable unimportant margins....#gorgug though is 100% trans lmao. there's a kinda distance to his own body in how he acts #that's kinda common in ''mad scientist'' characters? (or maybe my perspective's just skewed due to willow jenkins lmao)#kid spent the first two seasons fitting himself in places he Should be able to fit. and s3 is pretty much all about him Making New Spaces #thing is despite looking ardently for like. the reason Why he can't fit in in the first season I think gorgug really does #love his gnome parents and love being their child. and its confusing and tough to have to learn why something you love still hurts you #he wants it to not. he wants to make sense. and then it does and it changes nothing really #until he actively makes choices based on what he's learned. like. damn idk how to word it but #just like the ability to say ''actually this Is my life what are u gonna do? stop me from living it?'' is a powerful force #its rly fun to look at these two guys in these contexts thats like #they will never win the gender game just by virtue of being who they are. it's not designed for folks like them to win #but riz would simply not play and gorgug would design his Own game he's the champion of. and I think that rules

okay, i know im really bad at answering asks (shame on me! shame on me!)

but .....since its what im currently able to focus on; are there any questions about my OCs you'd like to ask? (the more precise the better, the vaguer the more i would just ramble out their entire history out of context or not know how to answer) i know i havent drawn alot of them, maybe it could get me to (re)design some even ... but i still wanted to put this out there o-o

#ganondoodles talks #personal #i suppose #i have NOT abandoned destiny btw #still chipping away at it trying depserately to stop spending hours on every single panel lmao #anyway- im always so nervous about anythign of my original work bc im so afraid of being made fun of #im so easily spooked everything gets to me #like that whole “the authors barely disguised fetish” meme thing has made me overthink every single design and story/lore decision #bc i keep wondering OMG what if that is something weird and i just dont know but everyone else is gonna pick up on it immediately #of course im trying to fight that and have done so .. somewhat successfully given those big lore ramble posts are still up #...anyway im tired up too late and sleep deprived #always the best time to post ramblings lol

I literally don't have time to do it but hearing christmas music makes me think of ideas for a Hallmark au. I think that'd be fun! I don't know how to write believable romance and I haven't consumed enough Hallmark movies to really do the genre justice-

But Reader is a seasonal party planner employee from the Big City who gets transferred to assist in organizing the 'Plex for Christmas week. They do not expect their co-workers to be mostly robots, that's a new one but they are Serious about making sure this upcoming event will go off without any blips, hiccups or errors.

I picture a post-ruin/fixed 'Plex because. Eclipse running the Daycare is a fun idea!

#writings #i also picture wholesome/silly vibes. maybe I'll chip away and try to write something small next year!#or I'll go crazy . and do it anyway. someday #adding this to the laundry list of things asfhdjs #I cannot stress enough romance is hard for me to write but Hallmark movies are goofy in a fun way.#is this just a way to wedge the desire to write Eclipse? HM?? i can't hear you the music is too loud and my thoughts are full of cotton

wheres that one post thats like do u ever find a character that feels so specifically tailored to ur interests that it almost pisses u off. that is siffrin to me rn

#hes like. the funniest mix of therion and junpei u could ever imagine #what if u took a silly little guy and threw their ass in a time loop. and they used the time loop to be a silly little guy (advanced)#theyre litally the best possible candidate for this job bc they LOVE fucking w people to see what happens. but not in the bad way #its so fun to watch them get used to the idea so fast like 'well if i fail at this kinor thing and look like a fool ill just go back lol'#and the fact that they use time loops to take advantage of a bit. now THAT is how u do it #wonderful incredible no notes. cant wait to see the hundreds of time loops chip away at them until theres nothing #isat #oh i uh. bought the full game btw. it possessed me #gonna bounce between isat and yumi nikki until im done with either or both of em :]

#made a blanket fort #watched treasure planet #making do while Brandon’s away for work #also made hot chocolate and chai chocolate chip cookies #the cookies are excellent btw 10/10 recommend making them #last night some friends and I played an MCU oneshot #we all played iterations of spider-man (or venom/carnage) and it was awesome #totally chaotic and all over the place #but so so fun to be joking and laughing and goofing off #idk I just feel kinda mellow right now so I’m holding on to things that make me happy #my life #also the lights reflected off the armoire mirror #and created a nice little starry effect and I love it

you know im generally very pleased when creative projects feature the same kind of ideas i had for my unfinished works because then i can sort of see it realized even if i couldnt do it myself, however theres always the immediate follow up of daaammmnnnnnn now im gonna have to change this in my story lest i shall be forever hunted by the armada of Guy Who Has Only Ever Seen [currently popular piece of media]

#part of the many reasons i just dont share too much about my projects #though i keep trying to change that bc even the process can be fun to witness and at my rate its like #better to have at least something like the concept/ideas in case i never get around to finishing the whole thing #working on it !#i have decade long working processes slowly chipping away at stuff as i find some time for it #in the meantime 30 eerily similar big studio releases grace the world and i have the choice of keeping the themes or overhauling everything #venspeaks

Basically what my past two weeks have amounted to

#these are all wips btw none are done. the cabinet just needs a paint touchup and new knobs #im going to be applying concrete to the chips in the steps as soon as we get a couple consecutive dry days #and the water stain on the wall/ceiling needs several more applications of joint compound and then paint 👍#forgot to take a pic after i cut away the old paint that sagged but that was very fun and satisfying #please please pleaseee someone tell me im sooooo masc. my mom called me butch and ive been a little devastated #butch would be a beautiful thing to be if i were a woman. alas. there is nothing butch about me #in spite of the transmasculine swag

I've been working so hard on Sinkur's lore bible >:3! I'm hoping to have it publically ready sometime next month but for now I've just been slowly chipping away at it

#I don't think it'll ever truly be 'finished' since I'll always add more things onto it #but it's been so so fun to just slowly chip away at writing his lore #It's been a very hectic and busy month but I'm really hoping to start being able to share my art and writing more publically

there's one thing to be said about AC Valhalla and that is that it's just so. unnecessarily. ridiculously. huge.

#every time i think that i'm chipping away at it #the game just goes 'oh by the way here's ANOTHER THING--'#like???#i appreciate it!#i'm having fun!#but i'm also extremely low on time and want to get somewhere in this game #what do you mean you added another tab filled with activities to the menu #what do you mean entirely new area with entirely new questline INSIDE another quest #just. please. calm down and let me build my houses in peace #and then make some progress that isn't negated immediately by the game just telling me that WAIT THERE'S MORE--#it pains me to say that i will never even get close to partaking in everything this game has to offer #because it's simply too overwhelming #and it's also kinda weird because it's not like i haven't played enormous games and basically 100% them before #but they just? felt less all over the place when it came to activities and stuff?#more focused. this just seems to be doing everything at once #rambling away

WAIT i want to complain one last time before i go to bed 💙 smth smth letting the demons out so u can have sweet dreams or whatever after, u kno. ahem. anyway.

girls when their dash is dying and they don't particularly enjoy the direction fandom is headed in bc unfortunately this fandom does move and act like a hegemony / hivemind a majority of the time and the canon compliant content that they do enjoy n look forward to is scarce but it's not like they can even go back to their personal blog for the time being because succession is literally ending forever in three days and hotd is currently filming yes but the tag for 2/3 of their fave characters is literally all either a ship they hate and/or character x reader smut fics and also it's depressing as fuck and the other media content that they enjoy is equally as fucked up which means they'd have no lighthearted Love Conquers All content in their rotation which isn't exactly good and and and—

#god.#i don't want to engage with fanon i don't want to engage with aggression i don't want to engage with headcanons and interpretations #that are essentially role reversals because i actually enjoy the characters and their story as it is and want to find people that also #enjoy it and make content for it i don't want to have to go back to my personal blog because you can only consume so much #[REDACTED] things before it starts to chip away at you even if you do have a healthy social life + other hobbies i don't want to leave #because i love stranger things and i love will and i love mike and i love how they fit each other so perfectly and become the perfect team #BECAUSE of their complementary natures but i just do not see content that reflects that and i don't want to make it all myself bc #i'm not an artist and i don't share my writing publicly and i don't want to scream into the void anymore :/#i miss when s4 was fresh in people's minds and logging in and engaging with others was fun i just .#plops down on the ground n sighs like tht picture of tht one baby raccoon sitting on the road #and when i say canon compliant content i don't mean compliant in every way i jus mean characterization rly bc lord knows literally all i #think abt and read are AUs for byIer LMAO. i just mean i like it when will is like will and mike is like mike and fandom hasn't done that #''it's homophobic to consider will as he is'' and ''mike is a weak useless femboy'' stuff tht it loves to partake in n peddle #and there are people that do want to just talk about byIer and come up with AUs and headcanons but unfortunately those ppl do not want to #do tht with me so . i love that for me 😁👍#ok NOW i sleep 🫡
