Longing for the forbidden Zora plush
There’s probably a reason why the glow-in-the-dark Molly and Trixie were made and not her, idk I don’t have Twitter, I just found this on a link. But still I yearn…
#because of marketing I assume#since Molly is the protag#and they probably wanted Trixie to get more hype for when the audiobook came out#also Zora has a lot of stuff happening in her design#lots of layers and patterns#so that prolly contributed to it as well#zora salazar#epithet erased#hoping we’ll get her one day tho

In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.
#my art#gravity falls#Stanford pines#ford pines#bill cipher#comic#eye strain#TIME TO DUMP EVERY ONE OF THE 27483949 THOUGHTS IVE HAD INTO THE TAGS BABY#OK!! SO!!!!#I feel like Ford would wonder why he and Stan (being identical twins) aren’t. yk. identical. shouldn’t Stan have polydactyly too?#as a kid he would dream about secretly being nonhuman and being whisked away to a fantastical world full of people like him#finally free of new jersey‚ finally somewhere he belongs#a lot of this disconnect from humanity came from utterly failing at social interactions while others (including stan) navigated them easily#the feeling waned after Stan was kicked out and he didn't have that direct comparison but it never left#then out in the wilderness of gravity falls‚ his isolation and immersion in Weirdness dragged it back up to the forefront#he deserves to have a breakdown over questioning his own nature. as a treat <3#color symbolism time bc I have a problem and use it at every available moment!!! blue and yellow get more vivid#the further from humanity the subject is#bill is entirely made w pure rgb blue and yellow (+ approximately 2674835 textures/layers/blending modes. I reached 150+ layers. help)#I like the idea that he would appear to ford like pure math considering hes a geometrical motherfucker and how the rest of the mindscape wa#I tried to mostly use trigonometry and related stuff for the Math Greebling. as well as fractals i love you forever fractals#MORE SYMBOLISM:#the grid-ish diamond pattern in all of the mindscape bgs (and elsewhere) is a penrose diagram of spacetime#which shows other universes on the other sides of black holes#SOMEONE ASK ME ABOUT MY EUCLYDIA HEADCANON LATER. IVE DUMPED ENOUGH DUMB HCS IN THESE TAGS ALREADY#BUT I THINK ITS VERY FUN#anyways. fuckt up guys n their egos influencing how they view humanity. bill tells ford hes as human as they come bc he was so easily foole#ford cant reconcile with his humanity bc of a failure to perform in one area#and then the immense guilt and shame over what hes done <3#I have So many ford characterization thoughts. no man nor god can stop me

horizontober 2023 | 18: tarot
#horizontober2023#horizon forbidden west#hfw#hfwbs#aloy#pls don't come at me if this isn't a good interpretation of this tarot card bc i've never studied tarot T_T#but i looked it up and this is the one that spoke to me (that i thought i'd be able to do in photomode lol)#i actually got pretty into designing the border but it needs a lot more work and then i realized i saved my wip as a flattened image >.<#so....... all my layers are gone. fuck me.#still! i can recreate it without too much trouble (the pattern is an svg in inkscape)#and my quest to make svgs of the whole alphabet imitating the logo 'brushstrokes' on the horizon font continues#i think i've done most letters by now? just missing like q x y z and a few others#i also have a few variants (esp r/h/n) with different ascenders/descenders and some with the gaps in the vertical strokes#if anyone wants a word/title you're welcome to ask me and i'll see what i can do if i have time!

Sorry we're late this week
Ibushi got lost looking for his Queen again
but anyway, here's the latest installment of my weekly(ish) Monster Hunter Drawing Challenge with @artgoes-here
#monster hunter#monhun#myart#my art#wind serpent ibushi#yeah this one just took me forever#I had an idea that was too ambitious for the timeframe and had to downsize a lot#also you wouldn't believe how impossible it is to make a grid in CSP that doesn't base itself on squares#by which I mean it is actually impossible#I ended up putting a hex pattern up as a sketch layer and traced it with the multiline ruler#if anyone knows a better please I'd love to learn it#also I tried messing with a gradient map#no idea what it did exactly#if anything

More matador!Fernando! Ferrari this time :D (I can't help myself.....)
- facial hair
+ closeups
I really wanted the vibe of this Nando pic, I think I did pretty well??
#GUYS THE BULL DO YOU NOTICE WHAT BULL DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE SUBTEXT DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY IMPLICATION#lmao tho i mostly put it there cause i saw this rly cool pic w the shadow of a bull on a matador's cape#i dont understand how i ended up making this one more intensive and detailed than the other#but im not mad cause i really like it aaahhhhhh#but i think this one took more than 6 hours and the other one was 5½?#and both i ended up working until an absolutely horrible time. dont ask me what time i wrote this post#okay btw i didnt draw that embroidery. thank you medibang pattern brush now beloved 🙏#i think it suits him!!!! i was thinking of doing stars anyways so I'm glad it worked out#two people id like to blame:#thank you 005 for accidentally reminding me of the sword!! im glad his other hand is not just idle :)#and thank you suzuki-ecstar for asking me at some point if id ever draw facial hair on nando#^ particularly the 3 Musketeers look. so thanks. i suddenly remembered and i had to draw it 😭#it kept shocking me how baby faced i drew him every time i took that layer off#also every time i worked on the suit red genuinely ceased being an actual color to me#its bright red right?? like very fluorescent?? but my brain kept going: is this too orange?? this isnt red right????#anyways happy with this!!!!! there were a lot more roadblocks than the other but it all worked out#but wow wish i had this level of diligence for yknow. schoolwork.#i can spend 6+ hours on a drawing straight but school? nah i give up every 20 mins or less fjfkkfl#also not abandoning my other aus or anything but i have a lot more ideas for this honestly#i think the ref pics are a lot easier and more interesting to find than for my other AUs#<- cause its so much more modern lmao. so i have a lot more inspo than trying to find ultra specific 18th century paintings#i wanna draw 3 things rn:#nando w the ceremonial cape. seb in a matador suit. and of course some silly vett//onso in this AU#f1#formula 1#fernando alonso#catie.art.#fa14#matador au

I just . Repeating "characters are tools" you end up erasing so much about arashi's character and motivations and interactions with other characters if you avoid using her pronouns aka avoid showing she's transgender. It's on the same level of frustration with the translators i had when i saw they had Mika speaking standard English, there's a LOT that gets lost if you don't show those little things.
#and sure maybe some things wouldn't matter bc - i don't read many knights stories so beyond what's mentioned ab arashi in stories i've read#like those featuring mika and such#so i can't say for her but i can say for mika - because a lot of it is touched upon in ! which isn't getting translated#mika talks about his accent and dialect and such the most in ! HOWEVER#you still have idol story 3 where he talks with Tsumugi about how people perceive him because of his accent and#about how he feels like he's letting people down by not conforming to the positive stereotypes associated with his speech#and if you make him speak the standard language you completely lose that layer#if you erase the fact that Arashi is transgender you completely lose that layer of her characterisation and motivations#she literally has a story in !! where she talks about how much it hurts her to always be cast as the male character#in princess-knight themed shoots when all she wants to be is the princess#but how are you gonna get the full context of that if the story refuses to give you the context you had in the original#ie. that Arashi uses the (hyper)feminine ''atashi'' pronoun and that her speech pattern is one associated with young women#in ! she has a line where she asks i believe koga to not use the slur used for effeminate/gay men for her#because her name is arashi narukami and if anything she wants to be called arashi-chan or naruko#which is also additional context lost if you don't translate it right - the -ko suffix in a name is traditionally feminine#i'm no expert either but i'm a writer and i plan on working as a translator#and these are things that - if lost in translation - will impact your understanding of the entire story and/or character#whether it will have you completely misunderstanding it or just being confused is irrelevant but it's like#in my opinion as a translator it's your duty to translate even the subtext#if you need to show that arashi is transgender you don't need to say it (even tho#she did once say ''i will never be the woman i want to be'' iirc and#i do have recollection of mika telling her ''i don't really get it but you're a girl right?'')#but you should give us the same chance to come to the same conclusions which is to say. translate naruko to the best of your abilities.#idfk Nary maybe ? i feel like the -y ending is usually diminutive rather than feminine but.#something to that tune. and give her a girly speech pattern. it exists in english too.#slang can be associated with gender too#like you guys get it right.

Origami 2b I didn't post sooner despite finishing. One sheet of black and white double tissue paper, around 50-60 cm.
Honestly struggled with the shaping but friends liked it so I will post her!
Have not played this game myself but got to watch a friend play part of it and talk about it.
#origami#paper folding#not certain of more info about the designer?#kind of a mystery crease pattern in my folders#I couldn't find much info about it#I enjoy the layered sleeves of this design#and the skirt was fun#really wished I could have shaped her better!#maybe in the future#the arms on this model were a little short#nier 2b#lots of character origami lately!

image id: a digital drawing of murderbot from the murderbot diaries, standing against a grey background and visualized as older than in canon. it has long hair pulled back into a ponytail and shaved at the sides, and is wearing an outfit with a light blue jacket, a patterned button up worn open, a light purple shirt, and a yellow floral skirt with a belt and a fanny pack, as well as heavy black boots. it's standing with one hand in it's pocket and is smiling slightly. around it's neck is a green lanyard with an id card on it. end id.
murderbot +20ish years. its currently a docent at the preservation ship musuem..............
#murderbot#the murderbot diaries#i was thinking of that bit in exit strategy where it was picking out clothes and said that just layering a ton sounded appealing#which . tbf. was partially bc it was on the run and nervous about concealing it's identity. so like.#but still. lots of layers and patterns. uhm just for fun#also i was gonna have its hair be dyed blue but i forgot. sorry#the image of it as a museum docent leading around little field trips of middle schoolers is nearly enough to make me cry tbh.#ok i need to go to lift BYE

im really mehhh on sundays new outfit which sucks because i was really pumped with the idea of him getting a new one. i understand they wanted the theme of him being between the harmony and the order but it turned out a little sauceless (Which Fits Him,)
#i think its just too much information#like compare the early belobog designs and some of the penacony designs#theres still a lot of patterns and layers but.. yknow.. mostly cohesive...#ill have to look at the full turnaround again and see how to better simplify#yaptime#hsr sunday

attack of V for RainyTuesday !
#artfight 23#art#traditional art#watercolour#art for others#had a lot of fun wit layering here#sometimes i forget i can do that for interesting effects instead of just simple shading and colouring#i can do weird lighting and transparency things with the power.....of layering#actually i think watercolour professionals call it 'glazing' or something? i still call it layering sowwy#very proud of this one. ive also been interesting in experimenting with different kinds of bgs like with random ass patterns and symbols#i think its kinda fun!!

Thank you so much to @risingsh0t for tagging me to use this meiker and this uquiz "what poisonous flowering plant are you?"
I'm tagging @narrativefoiltrope @lavampira @sysba @telumendill @heroofpenamstan and @dumortains ♥
I'm doing Mia Lennox from Infamous because they have been in my brain 24/7 lately, plus i liked checking different styles for her ♡
Doll's Eyes
This is the poison of unchecked vices. You slip into hallucinations. You are wracked with convulsions. The delirium threatens to overwhelm you. What are you running from? You look in every direction, wild-eyed at every turn, seeking some reprieve from what torments you. Each vice brings new consequences, and the price of escape seems too great, and yet you cannot seem to face things head on. If you aren't running from yourself, I hope you find a true way to freedom soon. And if you are running from yourself, perhaps you would do well to realize your pain is not something you can simply escape by avoidance. You deserve healing just as much as the ones you love. Someday, soon I hope, you will know this and feel it and reach inward to grant yourself all the kindnesses you offer others. That is the only true way to peace for ones like us. Oh, and if the pain of it seems too great? I hope that you realize you don't have to do it alone.
#thank you so much alyssa!! this was actually very cool!!!#obsessed because there is no character maker that can recreate how MESSY mia hair is#mia truly said 'i'm gonna use so many layers you will think i'm an onion' AND THEN DO A CHEEKY GRIN TOWARDS ONION<3#they also said 'combat boots stay on during ***' asjaks#she mainly dresses in a lot of layers or literally nothing there is no between#and almost always very dark colors or missmatched patterns#she has a horrible huge bright purple tshirt that they were with a bright green long sleeves tshirt#trully horrendous#and OUCH THAT QUIZ HURT#That plant is not pretty and omg hate how accurate it kind of was for them#it's okay bby we MIGHT get you help <3#anyways#infamous: mia lennox

writing about how aziraphale did the 1941 apology dance. here’s a sneak peek
#good omens#good omens fanfiction#good omens fanfic#good omens season 2#good omens 1941#aziraphale#crowley#ineffable lovers#anthony j crowley#writing these two just yearning for each other#i’m also trying to get a hang of their dialogue#and the layers underneath their words#while writing i just wanted them to talk about their feelings so bad#but i wanted it to align to the patterns of miscommunication they had throughout the show#miscommunication on a cosmic level#oh god i’m tagging a lot

I wish I saved more steps of the process for this or actually turned on the time-lapse for once but, process :) cause I think it's fun to look back on
#lmfao believe me there was a lot more in btwn steps than these#i changed the pattern on the leg several times bcs i just had zero clue 😭#i always work on the face and hair first and forget i have everything else left....#the paper sketch is just to get a feel for what i wanna do#sometimes i can trace from a pic of the paper but my sense for proper proportions on paper is just nonexistent#paper sketching is a lot better for chibis#these steps arent really the full order#i just went back and took off different layers to try and represent it#cause i tend to just work in patches all over the drawing so i dont get too frustrated with it 😭#catie.rambling.txt#catie.art.
