Noo don’t delete your art blog! Art is fun when you draw for yourself and just sharing your creativity
Yeaaaa but it hasn't felt like drawing for myself for a while now, y'know? And what's the point of sharing something if no one wants it. Might as well keep everything to myself then. It's why it's primarily niche videogames and oc stuff too, that way I can at least tell myself it makes sense why no one looks at it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#another anon ask#my art is very obviously Not Good#so it'd make sense to ^go on a retreat^#and come back later when it's actually worth anything#but it needs criticism for that#and my art was never good enough to spark interest in help#but never bad enough for others to feel pity/give art baby encouragement/etc#and I genuinely don't KNOW what's wrong with it#just that is IS#like tasting food and not knowing which ingredient made it taste bad

reminiscing about childhood books after that ask - all due respect to cool sleek movie toothless....but to me, he will always be a mean little gremlin
#my art#dragon#illustration#how to train your dragon#httyd#httyd books#i love you small toothless. i love you and your beautiful eyelashes. you are not overshadowed to me#also fireworm (top right) and monstrous nightmares as a whole were SO influential on my art and also my ocs#i never thought about it until very recently but my god. my god. so obviously a heavy influence on florawell especially#i drew her a lot as a kid she was my fav. cause she was mean and snooty. nowadays i do appreciate the ugliness of seaslug though#i wanna read the end of that series eventually....get some childhood closure#cressida cowell's drawing style is so charming and good...like drawing intentionally ''bad'' (10000 quotation marks) is so hard to pull off

Lackadaisy Enrichment
#in our enclosures!!#video linked as source; which i'm glad to see already has a million views and is trending. That's Right#lackadaisy#WHICH i have been reading since at least '07 when i was thirteen my god b/c this animation is based on the ongoing webcomic#like does its influence show up Directly in some Discrete way i can point to in my art? not very easily probably. And Yet.#the inspiration....i wasn't able to be Regularly Only for at least another year / art done Nonprofessionally Online was novel to me#like wow ppl can make & post fanart of w/e they love huh....didn't know webcomics were a thing & i never really read that many since but.#good god the quality of Lackadaisy at its onset is like this is superb?? this person putting in all their talent and effort???#and Then you get years & years more art and i don't even know what superlatives to throw out abt its quality as it evolves. obsessed w/it..#if i see a new lackadaisy comic page i Will be acting out. obviously this animation is a delight & also stunning. and fascinating to also#juxtapose as a Translation / Interpretation of the comic in a different medium & standalone snippet of Story#and that we're not even quite there in the comic timeline; Taking Notes abt character info we get distilledly here....genuinely love like#take it back to '07 i'm like oh boy can't wait for the dream team to assemble. then a decade later when it did? Oh Boy. that is payoff lol#namely hooray for stitches and mudbug at the field office for every passing gangster. killing one marigold associate but not the other#which seems like a promising start to shootouts w/the other dream team triumvirate. i adore that in canon so far mordecai freckle & rocky#have met but only over a nice brunch. re: all intentions anyways. anyways i'm like Gifs Must Be Made while i'm also so riled afresh abt the#comic that i've been sooo hype for for over fifteen yrs now babeyyy Deservedly. i've done a couple of rereads & ought to do another....#For Interest it'd probably take a few sittings to catch up from the start but there is much to be engaged over....this ongoing story that's#historical fiction prohibition bootlegging cats with plenty of focus on characters & several Mysteries. which i'm better at parsing now lol#like one of the more recent rereads like Oh Of Course x (probably) accidentally killed his y & z took the fall & that's a binding secret...#Not [oh of course] abt the circumstances surrounding a's death & how b & c were involved. nor the ''what's marigold's damage'' mystery#which is great. love to not know things. love that we can readily follow all the emergent drama everyone's wading in nowadays. hell yeah#anyways admire my organized approach to gifs here. four shots each Expressions Atmosphere Action Groupshots#sure might've muddled through gifmaking for this anyways but fr being a huge lackadaisy comic enjoyer for now most of my life helps#and its very Overall Inspiration like. just really getting the [you can really just draw stuff out here] going. fr the art's detail & skill#and that enrichment like i'm gonna have a great time following this. And I Have#you don't expect a crowdfunded indie animation in the mix back then but hell yeah fellas#SIGH ok removing a 4th gif that's broken / not displayed despite reuploading then entirely remaking it. if it's a bug i'll try again later

holy shit I did NOT realize how popular my "I will remove my teeth, for I want to remain kind despite my anger" quote is. I just googled it for fun to see what would come up, a bunch of people are quoting it not knowing who its from, an artist called Kuma made an album titled that, so bizzare
#also people are misatributing the quote to kuma and the first google result for the quote attributes it to them#which is kind of upsetting but not a huge deal whatever#its cool it seems to have entered culture like that#i get very mixed feelings about those instances where something I made got WAY more popular than i expected and#people are reposting it or using it without attributing it to me#i both feel bad when stuff isnt credited to me but also good that my art has expanded beyond my reach#its out of my control kind of and other people have it now#which IS what i want for my art and how i generally think art should be#but it is also obviously causes some anxiety to lose control and really full ownership of something that is yours#i think also there is anxiety about something of mine being taken by someone bigger than me#since they can just claim it as their own and most people will know them as the origin#not talking specifically about this quote btw just any of my work#ive definetly been thinking about that hbomberguy vid lol#i hope any of this made sense im a little high rn

Weird folks: Vent art of any form is good and all but it should ONLY be between you and your therapist. Don’t share that stuff online or publish it!!!
Me, an artist/writer: *goes to therapy, talks about my trauma and mental health and how sometimes it’s hard to talk about it with others*
Therapist: Have you thought about using your art and writing to help you work through these things and share them with others?
#writing#I don’t know what to tell you man#when you go to therapy—at least in my experience—your therapist will tell you to share your art with others#obviously tagging and whatnot is important#but sharing vent works is healthy#you don’t have to always share it but it can be a very good thing#my therapist regularly asks me about my art/writing#I even brought this up to her—the fact that I see people claiming you should never post vent works#and she was BAFFLED#also like… man if I didn’t post vent fics#most of my fics would not exist

Black Butler Amino, Black Arts Magazine - Holiday Party
it doesn't quite look like a holiday party from here, but what I imagined as a humble little piece is~~ Ciel and Lizzy sneak away from the big bustling midford Christmas party and raid the kitchen desserts, like they did when they were kids(it was Lizzy's idea, Ciel clearly hasn't been himself since he returned, and she wanted to bring him back).
#okay it's been a really long while so hi! I hope everyone has had a cool holiday season so far and will soon have a very great years end!!#and merry christmas to those who celebrate#I've been busy with work and art and unfortunately but obviously fortunately meeting and talking with a lot of people. it's very new to me#and I'm very happy with it. even if I haven’t had any chance to open my digital art folders#but yea that's to say that I'm good. i know no one's worried lol but school's been good and not a killer#I'm back in merica but when i go back i hope that ill be able to get back into the swing of drawing and stuff#I've had plenty of time to get settled and would hate to leave all of my big projects for this summer#I'll see!#kuroshitsuji#black butler#kuroshitsuji fanart#fanart#ciel phantomhive#digital art#elizabeth midford#lizzy midford

things alfie daydreams wistfully about when it's been too long since he was last almost-killed by tommy
#alone in margate on a lot of drugs and missing the homoerotic death threats etc#tommy x alfie#periodic drawing of Them required for my sanity#just endlessly obsessed with alfie's#“look i've been a (not very) good dog thomas and i think we should get to play the game where we go to hell together now please. as a treat#and then obviously tommy's “oh no i was just dealing with this at home how have i ended up with two of you”#all very compelling to me#tommy shelby#alfie solomons#peaky blinders#my art

do you consider your self made?
#my art#self portrait of sorts#been musing a lot on disability recently and how being relatively freshly unable to do Most Things has changed my perspective on things#for a long time growing up i was fixated on the idea of being An Impact On The World yknow? mainly the next Big Writer#(and that it would be sooo impressive that everyone would make my books bestsellers when i was only 12 because it was That Good)#and i mean. obviously that didnt work out as originally planned because i was 12 and learning. but I've felt a lot like#I've kind of built my sense of self on those big achievements. even if they were only big to me. and a lot of them#are now out of reach or very difficult to reach. and it's been a lot to. recontextualize#to take what ive been told my whole life and ignore it in favor of just being being enough.#things will happen as they happen. i havent earned anything by suffering but it hasnt ended the world either#im here doing what i Can do for as long as I'm able to do it. and thats all i need to be for now#just making sure that i Do do the things i can do rather than assume i can do them later#anyways. love you#cw:#top nudity#artistic nudity#the dreaded ambiguously presenting nipple#if you put any pro weight loss eating disorder shit on here ill kill you btw#my body is sexy because im in it and im still alive. not because its struggling to stay that way#lindwormposting

Day 13 - The Friendship Brothers
#My art#Requestober#UT#Handplates#Papyrus#Sans#Pokemon#So how matching are we talking here - are we talking Bear and Lion onesies or are we talking Identical#Obviously I have already chosen but lol#This isn't just me being Pokemon-brained! Mostly! Lol#This is me once again pulling from something smol and I have/do/be haha#It's been established that I am the Sans of our duo for a long long while now#And I have had an Umbreon kigurimi for a similarly long while! It's very comfy and silly and has been a Halloween costume for a few years#Well smol finally got one to match me <3 Espeon is her all-time favourite Pokemon as well not just of the Eevees but generally#So now we match And she gets a thing of her fave! Best of all worlds! :D#This is just a realistic image of the two of us lol we're just like them they're just like us haha#Fun funny tho - my kigurumi is just like - abstractly an Umbreon y'know? Like I Am The Umbreon my face is creature#All the Espeon kigurumi seem to have a face on them for some reason?? There are matching Umbreon faces too but like#There's no option Not to be Wearing An Espeon lol why#I do not know but I Will subject the Skelebros to it and make a pun about it lol#I had to brainstorm for it! And I got the groan-sign-off of my Papyrus hehe <3#Kigurumi have such goofy proportions haha#No one will ever guess how short my legs actually are under here! Lol#Very partial to how Sans' legs droop considerably more than Papyrus' hehe <3 <3#Had a lot of fun with his tiny hands here as well haha ♪ Good old babyhands Sans ♥

juvie buddies
#alek art#td duncan#td mal#total drama#total drama all stars#(if i want to get technical)#2024#duncan is around 15 here... mal is around 16#ive thought really hard about them these past few days . in my brain they actually knew each other and canon is different#duncan and mike got along really well. in juvie mal refused to speak to anyone about anything and would fight as many people as he could .#he wanted to stay in there and far away from home . they get roomed together and duncan is the first person who mal can talk to . he isnt#scared of him . he relates to him a lot . like -> wow we both act out for attention and people think we are terrible because of it#duncan being a mentally ill teenager seeing mal an also very mentally ill teenager thought 'i can fix him' . mike and duncan speak too here#i cant really see anyone else fronting besides those two . their brain was on lockdown and mike wanted out so bad . i see manitoba as a#gatekeeper so hed handle some sessions with their psych. i want to say they (duncan and mike) get moved to a psyche ward just because#i have more knowledge on being in one and how it goes ... but yeah i like duncan mal a lot . this art isnt ship whatsoever though 🙏 i dont#see them as a couple their dynamic is just better as friends imo#but anyways in all stars they obviously recognize each other but have an unspoken agreement not to say anything abt it#duncan is a known criminal but mike isnt like that . mike hadnt even told zoey about that part of his life . so duncan wanted to respect his#privacy -> then mal starts hurting people and he has to step in . mal isnt a good person by any means but i dont think he was that bad in#juvie . so duncan had to come to terms that his friend wasnt the same person he was years ago (in all stars duncan is ~18 and i think mike#is almost 20... so it had been a while since they last talked)#them getting each other like no other and being in pain because they couldnt really speak . i see them having a conversation still in moon#madness abt their past and history . god i just think abt them and their wasted potential wdym mike and duncan were in juvie together#duncan was in for trespassing or destruction of private property or something really dumb . mal fought his parent(s) and got in for assault#mal was already in when duncan was placed . and duncan was let out early on good behavior + his parents (dad) mostly did it to teach him a#lesson . wrong of them or otherwise . so mal was just kinda stuck there until they realized he was actually not right in the head . think he#knew abt their DID but was only diagnosed in juvie and had to go from there . tbh he shouldve been tried as an adult but td logic . doesnt#matter dw guys . mike gets the 'was put on random meds that made him go braindead' treatment bc that was me . post mental hospital abilify#had me messed up

so somehow it’s the first time I’ve seen your Dogs illustration from May. it’s very very cool and strongly reminds me of AI-generated art — did you use AI to inspire the shapes? or otherwise influence the piece somehow? interested in your process! very cool.
yes! some more directly reference ai images id generated than others lol
#these were made in artbreeder (formerly called ganbreeder)#theyre obviously shifting their focus to ai art if u couldnt tell by the name change#which is unfortunate but they still have available the original ai image generator i used years ago#these pics are just the ones i remember referencing#i referenced a ton of different images to get a good idea of how to make the dogs sufficiently fucked up#i have a bunch of older horror art on here that was very inspired by ai images but most of the time i didnt use references#just tried to emulate the effect of ai#i want to start using references more often so i can get a better feel for this stuff and get better at emulating that effect without them#its def challanging trying to draw something that just barely registers as a thing without drawing the thing itself#and that emulates the uncannyness of ai images#i also dont want to just draw the ai images one to one exactly as they are i more so want to create the same feeling that they create#while still having it be my own thing#its honestly kinda hard to explain the process of drawing this stuff just bc of the nature of ai images lol

i have not painted in... ~3 years. anyway here's a ferryman holding one of his many idols
#my art#ultrakill#ferryman ultrakill#note: the big image is actually an unfinished version of it because i could NOT get a good picture of the final one -_-#i definitely had NO idea what i was doing. but it was still fun! and now i can look over my shoulder and see my dear ferryman on the wall.#obviously it's just very charming to have a painting of a character who's the subject of like. 3 different in-game paintings. heeheehoo#presumably ferrymen would be responsible for MOST of the art in-universe? like all the gabriel murals and statues surely. that's cute to me#they have nothing to do with all their obol so the ferryman economy consists of them repeatedly commissioning each other back and forth#to paint portraits of either them or gabriel. or of them being sensually caressed by gabriel.#after the death of mankind a ferryman's merit is judged entirely by how lovingly they can render gabriel's midriff#... i think i had a point i wanted to make but it's just entirely lost now. sorry

i am being so so normal about these guys right now
#my art#mystery skulls animated#lewis pepper#vivi yukino#arthur kingsmen#msa lewis#msa vivi#msa arthur#made these to try and figure out how to draw them all consistently!! and also flesh out my own lil drawing quirks#three of those doodles in the first image are based on a oneshot i'm; like. Trying to write#btw the thing arthur's wearing in the second image are pizza glasses#someone asked for arthur w/ silly glasses; and these felt like they'd fit him;; kdjdkdjd;;;#[looks at the six (6) arthur doodles] mm. yeah i think i'm being subtle 'bout who my fav is#also i saw someone's art of arthur with his hair down and i absolutely adored it.#so obviously i had to steal i mean borrow it for myself#robozombii!! that's the artist!! their art is verrrrry very good!!!!!!!#fun fact! the lil ahoge in arthur's hair is shaped a bit like a lightning bolt!#another fact! originally lewis' sweater had the caption 'no prob-llama' bc i'm a fake fan who forgot that his favorite animal was alpacas#so now it's an alpacapella sweater

— And do you or do you not have difficulty remembering such simple instructions? — Only during thunderstorms, sir.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) / DARK SHADOWS (1966)
#don't mind me just absolutely insane about the possibility (probability!) that vicki saw tsom the year before coming to collinwood.#the boom mic in the stairs shot is always cracking me up.#finally me and you and you and me just us and your friend steve (the boom mic operator)#➤ roger collins & victoria winters. ┊ pain sometimes precedes pleasure,miss winters.#gifs.#➤ edits & art. ┊ the evans cottage art gallery.#➤ roger collins. ┊ I and my ghosts want a drink.#➤ victoria winters. ┊ because she’s lost and lonely. because she looks in shadows.#there's obviously far; far less of a christian overtone in ds — but i wonder if you couldn't make the argument that it isn't also#on some level about belief?#belief; namely; in the ghosts that roger resists and vicki with both arms embraces;#faith in the not-so-minor deity liz stoddard; choosing to follow her doctrine even in the face of conflicting truth.#one might consider collinsport a faithful congregation taking sermons from the mount — from the mouth of the reclusive ascetic;#conveyed by loyal (devastatingly; sacrificially loyal) disciples.#and vicki; searching for belonging; for a home; for a family; falls very lamb-like into the flock.#all old gods of course demand their sacrifices in blood: burke; namely; but also matthew; bill; roger (so-attempted)#if i were pushing it (which I always am) you could go so far as to say collinwood's son rises from the tomb.#''but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night'' etc etc. demanding; first; sacrificial livestock; then virgin blood.#anyway! I digress.#''they say confession is good for the soul. well; my soul needs purifying.''#vicki as the prototypical virgin — the clean slate without history; clear water with neither dirt nor blood —#in which roger cleanses himself (somewhat forcefully!); to wash away guilt and suspicion;#the force of virtue that prevents the intrusion of sin; either through the wood of the confessional or very literally at her bedroom door.#''an innate sense of goodness'' etc; besides being something of a conduit between this world and the next:#re. the seances; the appearances of josette and bill; the various and varied encounters with supernatural; the time travel;#as one might expect of an angel ... or a saint. and one could argue that she goes on to restore roger's faith —#if not in the goodness of the world at large; then the existence of goodness; or in the worth of belief itself.#anyway. long way of saying i love man x his governess whether it's catholic or satanic. sign me up.
