#not that old anyway

[echidna-enquiries]

Iris: I’m curious, do you all have any good stories or memories of your partners? My Guardians tend to keep their relationships close guarded… but sometimes I catch a glimpse of family photos and can’t help but smile at the sweetness of it. 

Hadar: (The spotted echidna soon approached, a framed picture in his hand as he kept it close to himself) I think I'd like to share a bit about mine... Here she is. (He turns the framed picture around to Iris, showing a very old photo in the frame. Still black and white. It had tall, beautiful woman with her arms wrapped around a much more youthful looking Hadar)

Hadar: Her name was Dona. She came from a massive family that initially was off island, they moved to Angel Island just a few years before she was born. We met as children-very young. Ever since I could remember she was fearless and-and very vocal. I still remember one of the first things she said to me 'You're small and weird. I like you. We're friends' she said, not really knowing how to speak full English at that point. (he giggles softly)

Hadar: She was always bigger than me. She was tall, and it didn't help I've always been... sm-small. And I guess in her mind, I was tiny and needed to be protected. Quite a few times I recall when jerks would try to pick on me. She'd be screaming and-and kicking at them the minute she saw I was in distress. (He chuckles at the memory) I think as I got older I kinda realised I-...I really liked her but I-I-I didn't think I was her type or... at all in her league. I just thought she was so beautiful and confident and she deserved someone a-amazing. I didn't think I anywh-at-... Ugh (he stops in the midst of hi stuttering) I didn't think I was good for her! But... apparentl, long ago she decided liked me... Wished she would've told me sooner... (he makes a face, probably a very awkward confession scene replaying in his mind) Hadar: Her family was thrilled to have me be apart of it, they always liked me and wer-were very friendly with my Dad. Even her brothers, who were kinda as-... jerks to me but according to them, they were just 'hazing' me... (He rolls his eyes at the memory. Huffing a little.) Dona was not happy about that but the rest of the family were lovely. They loved having huge celebrations, full of singing and dancing an-and all that. By the end of the wedding night, my legs were so sore trying to keep with up with Dona and her family. Dona loved to dance of course, she instructed dancing actually. That was her job.

Hadar: Umm. What else? Um... Well. O-One thing I'd never forget is the little nickname she had for me, when we started dating. She started calling me her uh 'pequeño rey' and for the longest time, nor her or her whole family would tell me what it meant. Just made faces at eachother or la-giggled at me... Only when I started to learn her language did I find out it meant. 'Little King'. (he smiled at the picture)

Hadar: Something else she loved to do was she loooooved to tease me. I know I'm a little uh... easily flustered. E-Excuse me if this is a bit inappropriate to say but it's humorous. Sometimes if she really wanted attention from me. She'd just walk into whatever room I was in... (he stops, already giggling and trying to compose himself to answer) com-completely topless or at some points, naked, acting like nothing was unusual. (he snickers) And of course, I would shriek in response to suddenly seeing her body. Screaming at her what on earth she was doing. She'd always get a laugh out of my reactions. Dona would always do things like that. She'd shove my face in her chest, she'd straddle me when I'm trying to do anything sitting down, and when i started to learn her language she would whisper to most LEWD things to me! (he chuckles again, and sighs lovingly)... I never was angry at her for her teasing. It was in good fun, besides, I had my moments to tease her... n-not often but- occasionally.

(Hadar sighs deeply, taking a moment to look at the photo again, stroking a hand over Dona's face)

Hadar: I do miss her... a lot. I do sometimes I wish I had a chance to... (his smile fades suddenly as he looks down) Uh... sorry. I shouldn't get into that. I-I-I've spoken enough. Sorry about. (he chuckles nervously)

Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.

This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...

Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!

Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!

okay is she being actually immature or is it just a woman over 30 expressing a human experience you find to be immature.

like yeah. at certain ages... let shit go. im not defending the real immature shit. im not defending the karen you're picturing. i worked in retail i hate those people too. (once somebody got mad at me because she didn't like how our winter window decor was a snowman smoking a pipe. i wish i was joking).

but men at 57 will write books about how 17 year old girls are soooo sexy. they will invent worlds where women have to be naked for "armor reasons." they will write songs that treat women as objects. people rush to defend them. meanwhile a woman at 35 will be like "heartbreak is hard, actually" or "i feel betrayed by a friend" or "i am struggling with something emotionally." immediately people will say stuff like this woman is 35 by the way. by the way this woman is SO OLD to be experiencing this. BY THE WAY.

im 31, almost 32. the other day a poet was blasted online because at her "big age", she had written a poem about feeling unloved. top comment was "this woman is 29 by the way." this woman is too old to still be useful, by the way. she has to behave better . maybe if she was a good wife and mother she could stop existing loudly, and the story could continue on without her. this woman has served her purpose, by the way. she's so cringe, by the way. at 29 - so old! - she still hasn't figured out that her existence should be one of shame.

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intent to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

why should I make my own website?
