So I was gonna make an effort to come do some writing this week... But Blunderville is back in town in FFXIV and anyone who knows me will know that I am utterly OBSESSED with this event. Like I'm not even exaggerating here...

I have to try get the title for my alt... I'm so sorry... Blame the bean people 😭

#{mako stripped - ooc}#just...#I used to suck at it #now I'm actually pretty good #wonder how many vets I've proper pissed off with me still being a lowly lancer?#HAHAHAHAHA

buckle up lads we're going BACK INTO THE BOOK

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with nightmare before christmas #hajimari no halloween #(the origin of halloween huh) (oooh)#why yes i did wake up way too early to watch the stream and will have no memory of drawing this later #anyway THE MAGIC BOOK IS BACK TO EAT US ONCE AGAIN!!!!#this does make things make a lot more sense if it doesn't have to. y'know. actually take place in the established world #like how jack and sally are apparently just gonna be THERE as themselves WHY NOT #i'm certainly not complaining mind you #scully looks like he's gonna be super adorable and i love him already #spooky scary skeleman who just goes :O a lot and is excited for halloween #he seems like he might actually be more of a fusion of jack and sally? or maybe i'm just reading too much into it #still getting jazzy vibes off of him though. is not scully j graves an incredible jazz musician name.#does this open up the possibility that the last time we went into the book there was a sexy anime boy stitch just offscreen the whole time #...maybe some things are best left uncontemplated #god everyone in this event looks fantastic i'm so glad i saved up some keys after all #a little sad that there's no lilia but you know what the fact that a halloweentown malleus exists is still pretty dang good #and sebek's hat is SO tall #the biggest hat for the loudest boy #i hope oogie is here too i need him and jamil to meet #i need jamil to be faced with a guy who's just a bunch of bugs standing on each other's shoulders in a trenchcoat #i am not coherent right now i just needed to get this out before i go pass out again

Bought the most expensive Pencil™ of my life to test out drawing on an iPad whilst I was on hols

#art #doodle #battle priest #so i won an ipad at a conference earlier this year and had no idea what to do with it lol #it's now my “temporary tablet” when i'm away #and want to do art but im not away long enough to bring my actual wacom #speaking of which drawing directly on a screen is so weird im still an Intuos5 type of person XD #and the lack of keyboard shortcuts got some taking used to #sketchbook is a pretty neat free app tho #i was gonna try and use Fresco but i immediately uninstalled it once i realised you could ONLY save things to the cloud in it #side note the slight tilt to the yellow bar in Rire's pic irks me but i literally did that on purpose to make ppl uncomfortable/aggravated #SO GOOD TO KNOW IT'S WORKING I GUESS XD #sz

I was trying to eat noodles neatly and for some reason I got sad midway. So I drew them messy eating a biscuit and a strawberry to combat sad noodle blues.

#Ugh I could've made it messier though.#I tried looking at how the strawberry juice look as it's getting bitten. But looking at a closeup of a mouth eating is kinda uncomfortable #I would need to be paid to look at that again. I dropped it and just winged it. Lol #Hm. I should've at least looked up how goopy it should look. But eh. Drawings finished.#I heard wild strawberries are sour? But these ARE giant strawberries. So this might be a special special kind of strawberry.#I'm not like other strawberries. 😤🍓 Lol #I can't remember what an actual strawberry taste. People made it look pretty good though.#Then again people also made dragon fruit look tasty and it turned out it just tastes like a very very desaturated pear. Lol #Hmmmm but also then again. They also make cherries look good and I LOVE cherries. 🤷‍♀️#That ain't the giant Crumbl cookie if anyone's wondering. Connie would probably never spend money on a Crumbl. That's a home made biscuit.#Bruh I can't spell biscuit #I watched someone biting on what I think is a Crumbl and they spit it out. And the pieces sounded like concrete as it hit the table 😆😆😆#connverse #connie maheswaran #steven quartz universe #Lion SU #su #steven universe #skedoobles #Ah. Also scribbling this because I needed a break after burning out 3 hours of a commission's allotted time just figuring out what pose #to settle on. So like I only have five hours left to work on their piece. 😬#my shiz #Waitaminuteee in case I unintentionally relayed it wrong. I'm not going to actually just make that allotted commission time just 5 hours no #I recognize not being able to settle a pose for THAT long in a commission is skill issue on my part so I'm not going to carve out 3 hours #Plus at least now I have poses that I *could* make a YCH out of. The body measures are going to be limited however 🤔

FirstKhaotung having an enemies to friends to soulmates relationship is one of my favorite things about them.

Translation credits: ✦✦

#firstkhaotung #firstkhao #first kanaphan #khaotung thanawat #thai actor #gmmtv boys #this is from the our skyy 2 interview and i highly recommend it bc it's actually pretty fun #i'm of the opinion that the best relationships start with one or both parts disliking the other to some degree #and judging by the bond they have now i'm glad first's cold shoulder melted khaotung's heart #tho they did mention something about something else happening before they got in good terms too #bibi gifs

#lines that live rent free in my head tbh. although i'm not sure i communicated it as well/clearly as i'd like #he should def look a little more scary but i'm not the best at dogs aksdjfhjdsk #thoughts #my art #les mis #jean valjean #javert #<- i mean. sort of. lol #also Two footnotes here:#firstly i'm pretty sure in the original french it just stops short at 'to lick' & what is being licked is just implied by the context #so the 'intruder's hand' is all hapgood afaik. that said it's fun so i'm keeping it. fan art of hapgood translation specifically now ig #second footnote is just that i don't think he'd actually have any scars around his wrist bc the manacles are only for actually being #arrested afaik. when he was actually in toulon he'd only have the chain on his leg. but it's good symbolism so.#also the chain thing i had a whole thought process abt symbolism we being willingly/unwillingly chained willingly/unwillingly set loose #parallels & contrasts etc etc but i don't think it really ended up being very clear. but oh well. we're clearing out wips here #also was contemplating something about that thing about medieval art of saints having an open palm to represent #openness/sincerity/righteousness to the person they're facing but again not very evident

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.

#I'm not calling the characters ugly btw #i don't believe any one can be ugly #i do not care for beauty standards and thus i don't rank people based on how “ugly” or “pretty” they are #but the characters in DE do not meet the conventional beauty standards and look like actual people with unique faces #and thus would be considered “ugly”#and that is so important to me. i go feral whenever media represents how people look like in real life and not how they look like in the #fictional parallel universe where everyone is a model and where a majority of the movies take place #because irl you don't have to be a model to be desirable #the most attractive man in any video game I've ever played has a receding hairline and a big nose and thick glasses and a small chin #and not only is representing realistic people. just good. in general. but it makes the character of Dolores Dei stand out so much more which #works for the game so well. she's barely human. she's a deity- a myth- a legend. the only version that exists of her now is the one with #glowing lungs. she's perfectly beautiful because she's inhuman. the fact that everybody else looks so human only highlights how inhuman she #has become yk?#if everyone was as conventionally attractive as her then she wouldn't stand out. we wouldn't get why she's so special.#disco elysium #disco elysium analysis #media analysis #beauty standards #this is only one aspect of how this game portrays real people btw. as someone interested in character design this just immediately stood out #to me #the first time i noticed it was when i first met garte and the second time was when i met ruby because neither are conventionally desirable #oh my fucking god the nerds who complain about a woman with a model face having body hair in a video game would perish if they played this #mainstream game/movie studios catering to western masses could never

Happy to report I have finally started listening to Malevolent and to no one's surprise I am already obsessed (I'm almost done with s2 atm please don't send me spoilers yet sdlkfj)

I'll skip over my usual formality of having one normal art post before diving into shitposts let's not waste anyone's time here

#to no one's surprise the body-sharing eldrich horror buddy comedy is right up my alley #this one's been on my 'to listen' list for a long while but the stars finally aligned to make it happen #okay time to figure out how to tag this uhhh #malevolent #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #john doe #i will probably change how i draw arthur a Lot as this goes on lol but enjoy these early drafts #unlike him I had a good idea how I wanted to draw john from the get-go #though the scrawling chaotic scribbles are actually a bit tedious to do in cleaner art #the pencil comic at the end is about the easiest way to do it he's just a bit more formless there #which is only really confusing when I also want to draw the hand like in the first shitpost #if i draw anything for s2 i'll update him a wee bit though probably pretty easy to guess what #i'll be playin with it i'm sure #idfk what tags people use for these i'm not allowed to search the tag till i'm caught up #so for now these'll work!#shorthand i'll probs just use #mp #pretty sure i haven't used that before #probably #my art #doodles #comic

and you rip my ribcage open and devour what's truly yours

well! this is probably about as finished as it's going to get. I am. so normal about that unwanted animal. I tend towards platonic jarthur myself but I was physically incapable of NOT drawing them to that line in the song. id and closeups under the cut <3

image id: a digital drawing of John doe and Arthur lester from malevolent. Arthur stands facing towards the viewer, his face is tilted up and to his right, towards John. the hand that John inhabits claws at his chest and his right hand rests by his side. John is behind Arthur and slightly to his right, his white mask is turned towards Arthur's face. his left shoulder and arm are hidden from view by arthurs body, his right arm reaches down towards Arthur's hand. Arthur is a slim white man with greying brown hair, wearing a white shirt and brown pants with a belt. his eyes are closed with a tired or longing expression on his face. his left pinky finger is solid black with brown roots coming from it across his hand. the scar on his neck is highlighted gold, as well as his eyes and some of the folds of his clothes and the edges of his silhouette. John is a taller figure, all black shadows with a blank white mask with black eye holes. darker shadows show the shape of his arm and body and he has long hair the same color as him that morphs into the shadows overtaking the bottom half of the drawing. a few scribbles of gold highlight his hair and the shape of his arm, neck, and body. the background is a dark blueish gray with gold scribbles forming aurora-like formations in the sky. end image id.

also a second version I think I like better, it reminds me of da Vinci's sketches a bit

image id: a sketchier version of the same drawing. Arthur looks the same, but the background is off-white with the same gold scribbles. John is translucent gray against the background and the lighter color makes visible some geometric scribbles in johns hair towards the corners of the drawing. end image id.
