Okay I'm back on grinding out money pins in NEO (as you do) and I'm sorry was anyone going to tell me that the overpowered Gatto Nero pins are each named after a season and the flavor text says they're engraved with the words "seasons greetings"
Implying they were released as seasonal promotions, And, someone in the UG, who had access to pins, would be able to collect them, and be able to tell what time of year it was, perhaps important because their grasp of the passage of time is shaky, wherever they are. And perhaps they could read the pin, and be protected, not just by the power of the psychs, but by knowing that, somewhere, somewhere in the real world, the person who made the pin is trying to say hello?
Or was I supposed to notice on my own and come up with this elaborate headcanon on my own?
#I've heard the hc that the gatto nero pins are shiki trying to reach out. but I had never really THOUGHT about it#oh my god. she tried. she tried with everything she had#thinking about her making this set year after year. her having twelve of these collected in a box somewhere. Four for every year he missed#about how of COURSE its by season. gatto nero is a FASHION BRAND. its one for every season of hers he missed the shows and the lines#and the design process and her artblocks and her breakthroughs and her runway weeks and the tears and the smiles and their dream#coming together bit by bit. and he doesnt get to be there.#but she can do something. she can try to keep him aware. she can tell him that somewhere the spring flowers are blooming.#she can reach out and say 'hey. its summer. and I'm thinking about you.'#'its autumn. the leaves are starting to turn and fall. I'm still thinking about you.'#'hey. it's been a couple of months. the snows just started to fall. I dont know if it's falling where you are. But I'm thinking about you.'#SCREAMING#ON MY HANDS AND KNEES DRY HEAVING#the world ends with you#twewy#neo the world ends with you#neo: the world ends with you#neo: twewy#neo twewy#ntwewy#twewy spoilers#ntwewy spoilers#shiki misaki#neku sakuraba

I illustrated 100 ASoIaF Characters
" A Song of Ice and Fire" is a series that has become rather (in)famous for its depictions of violence, and abundance of s3x scenes .and while criticism can definitely be made for these, it's important that we dont end up overlooking the important life lessons, nor end up with wrong takeaways from the story.
you see, at its very heart , i believe ASOIAF is a story of the human experience, as well as a commentary about the twisted ways of this world ( set within a fantasy backdrop). being caught in the middle of loyalties, ambition, Reputation, vengeance, culture, faith, and familial acceptance . its themes like this along with complex and relatable characters that youll pity and root for in one scene, only for you to be appalled by and flinch at in the next scene, is what i find so appealing in this series.
Spectacle, Political Intrigue and Character Drama (all present in the story too btw) aside , its a story that really makes you think ,reflect , and learn upon. and i love it for that!
so today , i just wanna show my appreciation to arguably the best aspect of this series: The Characters . for over a year now, i have made fanart for 100 characters from the series. some are major pov characters. some iterally appear for only 1 chapter. but all help bring so much depth and color to this story!
special thanks to:
@nobodysuspectsthebutterfly . your blog has been such a HUGE in help giving me inspiration and references for design and clothing . i also appreciate you reblogging art from fellow asoiaf artist to help give them a boost
@amuelia , i really love your design for Areo, and it was actually the basis for art for him! its only fitting that i give you credit
@whoknowsnugget . i was having a haaaard time coming up a pose for Asha when i first designed her, it wasnt until i saw your own fanart for her ( the one with her arms crossed while holding axes) that i finally found a fitting pose for her. because it was such a huge help, i figured i should give you credit as well!
@buildoblivionthenwewilltalk for being with the journey since last year!
and @squidprinceofwinterfell too, who is my other fellow asoiaf pal from tumblr!
..............................................................................................................................
i really hope yall like this one! i know this may really come off as unexpected, but ive actually liked asoiaf since 2018! ( with a massive revival of interest starting late 2022). as for THAT show, i have yet to watch an actual full episode yet hehe.
as for my account, let this be considered my proper comeback after months of inactivity. this project of mine played a large chunk for my absence, because i frequently get artblock coming up with a new post for every new character i make.

I was studying one of my fav paintings; Sisyphus by Franz Von Stuck and ended up finishing it in ~10 hours!! Its purposely more saturated and more like an oil painting, and drew Miguel in the place of Sisyhus :3
I was thinking of maybe making this a print? If anything then just for myself since that was kinda the intent anyways + idk if ppl would actually buy it
Anyways, I'm super proud of this, its been the only non-doodle I've drawn in months, thanks artblock lmaooo (I would obviously make it a print w/out the doodles and shit)
I tried my best to make it as accurate in placement/colour matching as I could while also adding my own artistic touch to it :3
#kitdraws#kit draws#fanart#artists on tumblr#miguel tag#miguel atsv#miguel spiderverse#atsv miguel#miguel o'hara#miguel o'hara fanart#spiderman 2099 fanart#miguel spiderman#spiderman 2099#are his finger claws noticeable? if you noticed it i love you#i might post the timelapse on za clock app but idk#i was gonna post it here but i dont think ppl do that nor would wana see it here :(

Hello there! (I know you like star wars, let's test your knowledge lol)
Richard here again. I just wanted to say that I'm terribly sorry for the flood of questions I asked previously, and instead go for a little more sober approach regarding the techniques of an artist/writer.
1) where do you find the time to write/draw? Personally I cannot ever get myself the time to draw something really detailed, or write some actually long part of my (already almost finished in my head) Hazbin Hotel au, as well as its Sinners Symphony adaptation.
2) where do you find motivation to create art? I cannot convince myself it's a good time to make something, ever, and I hate myself for that. When I see how fast you're capable of producing art (almost like a factory lmao) I cannot stop thinking about what I might be doing wrong.
3) where do you gain inspiration to make these original? Do you just start thinking and say: "hey this merged with that would be kinda funny/cool/interesting, let's do that" and just go, sit down and make it, or is there a "secret formula" to get original ideas?
I hope I didn't disturbed you during something important, have a nice day/night and see you next time, hopefully with the wheels of my AU already moving!
Once again, love your art, cherish your writing and most importantly, keep having fun making it!
Richard
OBİ-WAN KENOBİ!!! ohm I mean hi!
1-I want to study animation, so I can find time since both the drawings I make and the things I write are things I need to do anyway.
2- I don't know how to answer this exactly, but before HazbinHotel came out, I had not drawn a at for almost 4 months (this was my first artblock and I hated that) when the trailer was published. I got a great desire to draw.And when I posted my drawings on Twitter and saw that people liked my arts and wanted more, this became my motivation.I still have motivation and inspiration right now, I hope it continues.
And I'm so glad to hear you're writing AU, I'm sure you'll do a great job!
3-The thıng you mentioned happens to me from time to time.But, for example, an idea comes to my mind about what would happen if Alastor adopts a child, and I do it.Then, if I like this idea, I sit down and start planning it in detail.To give an example, Serenity emerged at the end of this process.
And when it comes to inspiration, my inspiration comes from the books I read, the TV series and movies I watch, and the games I play.If I give an example
Constantine:
Books: The Prince, The 48 laws of power ,Sherlock
Serenity:
Games: Last of us 1/2.
Books: Sherlock (Watson)
Series: Adventure time story of Marceline and Simon/ice king
So consume plenty of content and you will find inspiration.
No, it was a pleasure for me to answer your question. I wish you a good day too.And I'm so glad you like my work!❤️❤️

I have been thinking for a while that I'm not made to do commissions. Or work as an artist in general.
I said at the start of the year that "I'll open commissions soon" and then never did. I had the sheets of prices and examples ready since then but never dared to post them. One of the reasons being that I have poor time management and deadlines kill me. I also have trouble with communication (you already know this) and if the other person doesn't do the bare minimum to specify me what they want I can't do anything. I'm supposed to draw something for you, it has to be to your liking, I can't do the job if you don't explain to me what you want.
This is still a hobby anyways, I only draw whatever I feel like drawing and if there is something I don't want to draw I don't do it.
But I see people saying stuff like "if people are interested in my art I should sell it (as in making prints, stickers and such)". Once I read people saying that they get mad when they see a talented artist with no print shop nor Patreon, or ko-fi, or whatever platform they could be making a profit of, because of that same reason: they could be gaining money from something they like that they are good at, and people could donate to them to support them, but they don't have anything set for that.
Most teachers and counselors I had, one of the first things they told me when they saw my art was that "I should work from this" "I should get a job that involves art" to "use my talent" "I can't just do nothing with the talent I have" "I have to use it for something", and while I know all of this comes from a good place, it only makes me feel pressured, like I have to do it, as if me being talented at art meant that I must use it for profit.
(I perfectly know the quality of my art, I know it would be perfect for selling, especially if it's fanart. I don't brag often about it because, no, like ????? Maybe if I'm especially proud of something specific but I'm more proud of my neat signature tbh. I don't complain much about my art either because honestly, most people won't notice the mistakes if I don't say what is wrong with my art, and it would become a toxic habit that'd send me into a bad mental state)
People have shown interest in my art before, I know there are people who would like to buy a print from me, but the thought of selling stress me out. Being the one who's in charge of making the merch, searching for a way of sending it to the person, setting prices, solving any problem that may come with- the whole thing that involves selling your stuff. I don't see myself managing any of that.
Making a Patreon comes with having something every month to post there for the people that are paying to see exclusive art that I won't be posting publicly until some time later. Ko-fi would be more suitable since it seems to be made for donations and you can set up a shop there, which is cool but I feel like I'd have it closed all the time. Idk. If I get artblock and I don't draw for a while I wouldn't feel good having any way of donation open.
If I end up selling my art it would be more to the fact that I know there will be people excited to have a print of my art in their hands rather than because of the money I'll make of it. But there is another problem that comes to it that I already talked about in the past: I don't want to sell one (1) sticker for 30 fucking EUR/USD. If you are in Europe there wouldn't be (much of) a problem, but to ship to America it would cost 30€ of fee.
I want to design stickers sometime, or pins. And if I end up making merch of my art I want to make money from it I guess, but idk...
I think I'd be better off working from something that doesn't require too much mental and/or physical strength from me so I can leave art as just a hobby. But that's another problem of its own.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ^^ ✨
I really wanted to draw something special for this but I'm in artblock and I don't really know what I can draw. But I wanted to say a few things that really made this year worth it.
First I wanted to show an Oc that I've had for a long time, it's literally me but as a wizard, I really like magic XDD Just so you can see a little of what I'm like
This year was VERY difficult for me... Because of problems at school and problems with my family. But a little story I wanted to tell you. Why I created this Tumblr and started making stories about my favorite game THSC.
This happened in May of this year... I had lost my best friend after 5 years of friendship. He said he didn't want to be my friend anymore because he wanted to focus more on his life, he had found better people than me... I was happy for him, but I didn't expect it to end so suddenly, I spent the whole year thinking about him and how I missed him, This friend of mine definitely wouldn't leave my head, I had a toxic relationship with him but I missed it, I don't know why... And to make everything worse, in the middle of May I got sick and had to go to the hospital and I had to have surgery because of internal bleeding (I won't go into details of why this happened) I felt lost and alone... My parents always blamed me, saying that it was my fault for being sad, they said I was being ungrateful... After I left the hospital I didn't go to school for 2 months and my grades dropped drastically... And that made my parents even more angry, they said "I wasn't being enough" (I have learning problems but they don't care) I was in so much pain after the surgery that I couldn't walk for weeks.
In the meantime I was at home trying to recover... I went researching THSC again (I'm a fan of the game since 2020 but I stopped after a while) and after I saw some videos I remembered why I really like the game and its characters... It made me happy again. And I opened Tumblr to see more things, and I saw that there were still people who were fans of the game here, and I thought a little... And I decided to make a story of my own about this game that made me so happy and made me forget my real situation... I'm so happy that the fandom received me very well. I saw that people really liked my drawings and stories about the toppat leaders that I've been hyperfixated on since 2020. I can literally spend hours just talking about THSC and saying how cool and interesting this game is XD. Showing my drawings and stories here has really changed me a lot and I always have a lot of fun with my mutuals @capturecharlesau @smoresthehalloweenqueen @bluetorchsky @strangedreams02 and a few more that I don't talk to much about but are still very important to me!!! Thank you so much for being with me this year and making me feel better, I really hope to tell more stories with you guys!! I love you!!! ^^❤️🌹

Hello Ren! Just wanted to pop by and say that the octoberon pieces have been beautiful! I was wondering if you could give some art tips on your process? I’m just amazed by how polished your pieces look considering how quickly you’ve been doing them! I’m sure you’ve been asked this before as well, but what art program do you use? Thanks again for sharing! :D
Hi anon,
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying what's basically my month-long "what doodle should I speedrun today" that no one except me cares about lmao. For the software I use, I'm a filthy SAI user since school and I've never liked the other softwares, I only had CSP for school but I've barely used it. I used to do oil paintings and SAI just evokes the closest feel to that for me.
As for art process... I do plan on creating a patreon one of these days to help with financials after some irl stuff, and I plan of adding my painting process/step by steps for one of the tier rewards there, because honestly, I don't really know how to describe my painting process, my hand just likes to move on its own lmao and I often just use a single layer for everything.
But if I had to give some tips... I do feel understanding some basic fundamentals goes a mile, as boring as it may sound. I'm not some art expert since I'm still learning myself, but color theory has been helping a lot with picking colors. If you think about it, League is also pretty simple in terms of gameplay idea, but you build your skill off simple fundamentals. Although visualizing it in your head is one thing, but...
I'm sorry it's long but I guess at the end of the day, you have to love what you do. Sure I get artblocks sometimes, my hand hurts a lot especially now, but I still love drawing. It's cheesy but I feel it's important to have that kind of mindset, because if you don't enjoy it, then why do it? In the end, I wish you luck on your art journey!

THIS SHOW IS AMAZING. THE BEST. THE MOST MAGNIFICENT OF ALL.
YES I KNOW ALL OF THE DRAWINGS ARE ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH BUT IDC!! I HAVE HORRIFIC ARTBLOCK SO THATS WHY. I DID THEM IN LIKE 2 MINUTES ITS NOT MEANT TO HAVE EFFORT PUT INTO IT!
I made that terrible clay cup replica about 6 months ago do not question its terrible paint job.
It's so annoying at how so much Robert content is just lost media. Cbeebies stargazing episodes? GONE. Continuity links containing Robert/other JH characters? GONE. Some recordings of live shows? GONE!! Like sure, having limited clips of live shows is fair enough, you had to be there to experience it. But to delete SO MANY episodes of stargazing, an actually good educational show for kids?! ITS NOT EVEN OLD!! (2014 is when it started I think. That isn't even that long ago tbf), WHAT REASON DID THEY HAVE TO DELETE ALL THE EPISODES?! THEY HAVE THE MOST ABHORRENT CGI STUFF EVER ON THE IPLAYER, LIKE COCOMELON (which is literally proven to have bad effects on small children), AND A BUNCH OF OTHER USELESS SHOWS. It's not like they don't have room on the iplayer for it. Oh well, can't do anything about it.
Also series 6 annoys me so muchh like there was actually so much potential for it. The first 7 episodes are probably my favourite out of the whole show, and if Steve stayed for the whole series, it would definitely be the best one. The scrips were so great (apart from party animals, that one can rot in hell), but Chris let it down SO MUCH. He did some of the poorest acting EVER. He didn't even try half the time! He used his normal voice, not even attempting to sound remotely like how Robert should. He also kept on moving his arms in the most odd generic robot-like way, like constantly holding them at 90° to his body, which is NOT what Robert does. I mean Steve does do that sometimes, but it just seems much more natural than when Chris does. And obviously Chris and Justin don't have the greatest chemistry between them, so it seems more odd and awkward when the script makes them do friendship sort of stuff, like hug or hold hands or whatever. It is extremely difficult to get through an episode containing Chris, it just makes me cringe so much aaargh!! And sure, Chris had about 2 days to prepare for taking Steve's role, so I understand why at first his acting is a bit rubbish, since he didn't have time to fully examine how Steve plays the role. But the series was done throughout a few months, so he had time to prepare!!!! Which he didn't. Hopefully there'll be a series next year which will make up for it.
Also, wayy off topic, but I got a haircut yesterday so now I have short hair. AND IT IS THE BEST THING EVER. Long hair is the most overstimulating thing ever for me, and it was sooo annoying to constantly put up with it for years on end. I AM FREE NOW WOOHOO!!! Also I look kinda awesome now aswell. Double whammy.
I love typing useless paragraphs it's so fun because I doubt that over 3 people will ever read it. I could literally write all of my deepest darkest secrets here practically noone would ever know! Not that I would. That's dumb. It's actually so fun typing for ages though. I don't talk that much irl because..idk why actually. So it's like I can talk here instead!! Awesome.

i apologize for the text wall you are about to recieve i'm facing my fears of being an annoyance in the inbox
hey what do i do when i have several fixations happening all at once
my madcom keeps coming into the house because its cold but then goes back out because yay snow
the funkin won't leave the pantry because i keep coming back to the Tall Modded Men
deltarune deltarune deltarune deltarune
undertale is returning with a baseball bat because it refuses to be left behind in my elementary days (i promise you my AU content won't be based on fanon i've been tracking little details in the game i'm not cring pleas e don't sentence me to the swamp of sin)
im not sure if i'm going back to my fnaf phase i'm just very fond of the sundrop models i find on VRChat
MINECRAFT!!1!1!1!!!
and it doesn't help that i want (personally i have to i live off making silly little worlds with different stories and flavors) to make AU content the neurodivergent courses through my veins it will never end
this is a really good question that I don't see a lot of people asking so it's hard to find good advice for this
best advice I can give as a neurospicy individual is to not fight your attention span when it comes to hobbies. with school and work you don't have much of a choice but remember there are no deadlines or consequences in fandom
like I feel kinda bad for not having updated my two big fics in 2-3 months but y'know the juice just isn't there. I like quality and if I'm not interested it won't be quality. I try to keep my blog madcom focused because that's what people followed me for but trust me right now I'm all about my gta dude, sonic, batfam, mw2, and others I can't remember on top of madness combat
I can't give advice for artblock because I don't draw unless I absolutely want to, but for writing at least I find that outlining costs way less mental energy so even if I'm not putting together a new fic/chapter, I can still plan to with relative ease
but yeah neurodivergence doesn't always mean there's something wrong, sometimes it just means your brain works different and I don't think it's productive to try and force it to work another way. do what sparks joy. if your ideas are cringe, kill the cop in your brain because the entire premise of madcom would sound cringe if a 12 year old described it as their superhero backstory. what makes or breaks a story is the presentation of it, not the idea itself
also feel free to combine things you're fixating on. I was on a horror kick, decided to incorporate it with fandom (have not finished it because oh my god horror is so hard to write)
having people to bounce ideas off of is really helpful too because it can help you focus more on that one thing, as I'm sure you saw with the AU I'm working on right now. feel free to yell about stuff in my inbox if you'd like, don't know all those fandoms but I'm happy to listen
music also helps with focus, find a song that fits the vibe of what you want out of your work and set it to repeat. normal behavior I know but it worked for me
ultimately, don't stress. the mojo comes and goes, it's more cooperative if you are. fandom isn't a job or any sort of obligation and you can write, draw, headcanon whatever you want. sometimes multitasking is helpful because you can step back from something and then come back refreshed after working on another thing
hope this makes sense because it feels all over the place but yeah that's basically what I've learned to do
#don't obligate yourself and don't let others obligate you#fandom is for funsies. no other reasons unless you want there to be#asks#writing advice

A while back I was hitting like a low. I went to work early and got home late, and it was like this for like some weeks that probably sum up to a few months. Drawing one very simple like a half body or bust up, took days and the result also wasn't as satisfying as it. Usually would be. It was just hard and frustrating and discouraging to sit in front of a blank page of any medium, all these ideas in your mind but. Just being unable to do anything, even though you really want to bring to life what is currently living in your mind. At the end you see it's 11 pm, you know you have work tomorrow. You close the sketchbook, switch off the tablet or pc. Get ready to bed, feeling guilty for having wasted time. Grieving for a happiness that seems lost. When we speak of art block, often it gets simplified into having exhausted your creativity. Described like the river ran dry, and now you have to find a new water source. Seldom it's considered that you could be perfectly willing and able to draw, but your own environment is subtly stressing you out. Blocking you and your art. idk what could block you right now. But I remember that you went through a car crash this year, that can be a lot! You are also still studying and maybe there are exams to do, work picking up. The days are shorter now in Europe, how much time do you take for you to just lie in the sun and enjoy its warmth? When everything in you is yelling to push forward to the point it physically hurts, it helped me to stop everything I was doing instantly. I took one day off. Reorganized my desk my wardrobe, my pantry. For the day. Met with friends. Did a tiny craft as decoration for my home. When I went back to work for the following week, I arrived and left on time. Not spending more time than necessary. It wasn't a huge dilemma to make costumers wait a bit in my case. I resented my rhythm to a pacing I was able to keep up with, and now drawing works again. I am not sure if this can help you in any form. But at least maybe it shows you that you are not alone. It happens in many different ways to creatives, it's part of our process and growth. And if it does happen, and it hurts, it's not forever! It's likely just a subconscious sign for us to take a moment to collect ourselves before we can let our thoughts bloom on a blank page again. take care you got this!
--- Anon, you are the kindest soul for sending me this message. I think you may have misinterpreted the post where I said 'Hey why am i in physical pain from not creating art???' as being about artblock, when REALLY it was about the opposite: Having a ton of creative energy including a veritable mountain of ideas while being unable to make time to create. For me, in this case, it was me really really wanting to draw but having to be an adult with adult responsibilities and therefore making myself go to bed on time instead.
I do fully recognize what you're describing though. After I quit art school in 2016 I didn't really touch a pen or anything artsy for almost two years, being completely bled dry of creative gusto, even when I sat down and tried, nothing would come of it and it would be incredibly painful and frustrating. There is a lot that can go on in your life that makes creating hard, even if you'd want to create, but lately I've been having the opposite problem, actually !
Right now, creating is easy for me, but life gets in the way, and not being able to make time to get the creativity out is causing genuine, physical pain sometimes (somewhere between my chest and my stomach, it's weird). so that was what I was lamenting about!
You obviously poured a lot of care and kindness in this message and thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to send it. I'm okay though, so don't worry ! <3

Hello hellooo question and also sort of a request/idea for any future tktober prompt list makers (They don't have to feel obligated to do this ofc!!)
But if possible, could they make like a weekly version of the list? Basically a prompt for each week of october, instead of one everyday! This is mainly for those who wish to join tktober but aren't able to finish it or do all of the daily prompts due to reasons like artblock, not enough time, burnout, being busy with other stuff, etc (I am one of them :'D)
So there's the usual tickletober list with all 31 prompts, and then the weekly version of said list
Sorry if it sound complicated, but again, its just a little idea and no one's obligated to do it! :>
it's up to each individual list maker, but i will post this so it is seen!
(once again, as i am running this alone i currently only have the capacity to put out/focus attention on my own list, though i will reblog others -- i am still debating every day if i should change the blog name so people don't think i am the end-all, be-all tickletober person lol)
i totally get you on that too, i have never once completed a full 31 day tickletober run, even when i've run my own list. i am not sure if i have the time or energy to put together a weekly one, but we'll see what happens in the next (what, like a month or so now, based on the vote?) before i post the list!
but also -- it's not a requirement to do the whole list!!! just choose the prompts that speak to you and post those, there's no rules about how many or how few you do! you can choose your favorite from every week and do it like that, even -- that way you have more options than if i just picked them for you.
