#my art was always meant to be shared

[syb-la-tortue]

Hi there! Ik you're not into homestuck anymore, but I was wondering if all your old piratestuck art is posted anywhere else, since your original blog got deleted? I used to spend so long just going through that tag, cause I love your art so much. It rly sucks that Tumblr is so hellbent on censoring everything to the point of just trashing a decade or more of someone's hard work :(

sadly at the moment no, tumblr was the only place where the great majority of my Homestuck art was (along with some One Piece art and a good chunk of my early bnha art) and even though I don't think much about Homestuck and Piratestuck these days, I wanted to share these art back then and the sentiment is still true today, I really want all my old arts to still be accessible for everyone to find, even if looking at them today myself might make me cringe due to it being old and seeing all the flaws in them lmao

anon asked: Hope you’ll be able to reupload your art! Everything you make is gorgeous!

I know I won't reupload them on tumblr (wouldn't be able to post the sexy here anyway and I refuse to skip it), or twitter or wherever, one by one like they were posted in the past, because we're talking about hundreds, possibly close to a thousand pieces of art and doodles

what I intend to do is to sort them into a few .PDFs (by fandom? by year?) and make those available for download

it's just that. the task right now is a bit daunting, that's a lot of art to sort through! and I would also like to write some level of commentary, you know like captions to give some context, maybe some of the lore and headcanons for Piratestuck, that kinda thing! but yeah, lot of work that I'm currently a bit afraid to start on so that might be a while...

what are your thoughts on bruno, the guy who says “nothing compares” and also appears in fakey’s post escape area? i’m also curious to see how he looks in your style, he’s super underrated and deserves more appreciation

Bruno... a very curious case indeed.

i always like seeing other people's interpretations of him! is he Fake Peppino, was Fake Peppino HIM, is he even related, or is he simply just a stranger, the true original owner of "Bruno's Pizza"...

for me, Bruno is just another one of the vicious mockeries against Peppino. meant to be a caricature, but in a more perfect sense: a more "normal", perfected version of Peppino. maybe what Pizzahead was wanting from Fake Peppino, or, maybe, just another thing to make Fake Peppino suffer, from the truth that he's not really who he thought he was.

Fake Peppino surely thinks so, another painful memory, something from his time back at the tower that he'd rather forget. maybe at one time he thought he was "Bruno"... but that's in the past now.

and something, he'd rather much not think about again.

Their office reeked of sulfur and salt. Under the floorboards, I could hear dozens of tiny legs skittering about intermittently. Dried leaves and dead twigs were scattered under the furniture, ink stains covered the book that laid on the table, and I imagine that the scented candles that had been left burning were some futile attempt to make the room feel more pleasant.

"You must forgive me, Inspector, had I known you were coming sooner, I would've..." She looked around, her eyes landed on the dried leaves on the floor and then back to me "...prepared tea".

She led me to the center of the room as she sat at the side of her desk at the other end. Beetles and cockroaches started to pop up from under the floorboards at this point. She paid no heed to them. I could've sworn those pests were forming a perimeter around her and were ready to swarm me by the snap of a finger.

"I don't suppose you came here to ask for my expertise". A scan around the room revealed walls lined with bookshelves, filled with monographs on insects, fishes, and mythical creatures. There were even a few books with her name on, Salome Barko, listed as the author.

"For the yearly census. Have you recently travelled outside the city within the past month?"

"Oh yes, recently I had just returned from my trip in the desert city of..."

Listening to her recount her travels, I started to realize what I was surrounded by. These insects infesting the place weren’t normal.

"...then a small bite killed the camel I had in no less than a minute!"

These insects are not from here. A cockroach suddenly flew and landed on my arm, I saw its mandibles slowly widening. Instinctively, I frantically shook my arm and slapped it, knocking it to the ground. I then heard hundreds of wings furiously buzzing from under the floorboards so I ran. I tripped over a dead twig in my haste, hitting the ground with a hard thud. As I scrambled to my feet, I glanced back. She was still sitting at her desk, looking at me with a blank stare.

Only after the door slammed shut behind me was I was finally able to breathe. I paused to fill my lungs with fresh air, then pulled out a checklist from inside my coat and crossed off a name.

I will be writing my resignation letter next month...

The Witch in the Glass

I don’t know how to phrase this right but it really does suck to know your art will never be loved like other peoples art. Like, you post something, say a book scene between characters, and someone posts something similar awhile later and the feedback and love they get compared to what you did is ten times more, it just stings. And it’s that dawning that you will never make an impact like they do, and you may never be as good as them no matter how hard you try. Just deflates your self worth a bit, and makes it hard to want to continue on with your art journey

Had a work meeting yesterday for an indie shoot and the subject of AI came up and it felt like they were very dismissive of the WGA strike and AI art. And it boggles the mind— that as creatives, writers and artists yourselves that you don’t see how it won’t impact you.
