Flowers!
#eriarts#flowers#working on a commission#and have to draw different flowers#the lower right dahlia. the one closest to the side. not the bottom one#is one i roughly traced over the reference picture#but other than that these were all freehand#i was just struggling with the dahlias so much#they look so pretty#but i think they NEED shading to come out right#otherwise they look weird

panda panda circus circus
#Panda Circus#Daniel Mullins Games#Pony Island#<- Does that tag apply??? No idea.#Found a slightly quicker way to do this. Emphasis on slightly though it... doesn't work 100% of the way </3#The process was blocking out the sections with the lasso tool and then using the dithering brushes I have instead of just.#Doing it pixel-by-pixel. Then I added random black and white pixels everywhere for weirdness because it looked too uniform otherwise.#Anyway pro tip don't do this when you have a migraine. You will regret it. Quickly.#Hrokkall Art

Hello! Honoring the call for a global strike, from now (24/01/2024) until the end of this week (6AM Monday 29/01/2024, Hanoi/Jakarta time (GMT+7)) I am offering one full-body sketch of any character you want for every e-sim you donate.
All you need to do is:
go to gazaesims.com
follow the instruction there and donate an e-sim of any plan
screenshot the confirmation of your purchase and donation
send the screenshots to me via either email ([email protected]) or Tumblr DM, along with the character you want a sketch of and any references you have on hand.
Standard commission/request guideline applied. I'll run streams in the next four days (and perhaps after as well) on Youtube doing these sketches live - those will be announced on this blog as they happen.
I'm not currently affiliated with the Cartoonist Cooperative or any other artists doing the same drive, but if my art's not what you're looking for, definitely give the Coop's site as well as the e-sim tag on Tumblr a look! And if you're not looking for sketch commissions from me or art commission in general at the moment, I encourage you to donate an e-sim anyway if possible.
Thank you for your work and support - I can't wait to draw your character!
#bakuspecial#gaza esims#e sims#commission info#I've been wanting to buy an e-sim myself but. my current credit card is Extremely weird#it does not register as either an ATM card or a VISA card when I do online purchases. and I need a VISA card for this from where I am#so hey! if you're looking to commission me for something like this anyway#then for this week we can put the money towards an urgent cause#I am sadly otherwise extremely low on energy nowadays. so my comm bouts are few and far inbetween#but while I have the energy I very much want to do this#I'll need to set up some admin stuff for the streams and for checking the donations. but I can do it#have a good day guys! you know where I stand on the matter as an inhabitant of a country deeply wounded by colonialism & imperialism#I'm glad to be able to add my effort. from the river to the sea!

tbh my latest biggest theory for why HoO and onwards is such a dramatic drop in quality and consistency is just. Rick stopped making teaching guides.
Like, the Lightning Thief teacher's guide is SUPER in-depth with even stuff like sources about middle grade child psychology and exact specifications of where he's applying that, explaining what different character's goals/motivations are, their dynamics with each other and their environments, etc etc. Even specifying which specific myths certain plot elements are supposed to reference or be about.
That stuff just doesn't exist for later books. There's activity guides and smaller, significantly more simple teacher guides for later books but they don't go into anywhere NEAR the same level of depth. The TLT one is a full lesson plan that breaks down the book at every level and explains what's going on and more or less why Rick did that. The others are all basically just glossaries of terminology and some simple question guides.
And they didn't even use the TLT teacher's guide for the Disney+ show because they clearly aren't adhering to any of what's discussed in that breakdown of the book.
By creating a teaching guide alongside writing the actual book, that's forcing you to document what you're doing, why, your sources, and information about your characters and the story they're in. It's like an even more in-depth version of a series bible. But that's lacking for later books (and etc) and it shows because that level of thought and depth and attention just isn't there anymore.
#pjo#riordanverse#rick riordan#rr crit#< i suppose#imo one of the most damning parts of the drop of quality in the later books is you can tell exactly what parts of what books#Rick had planned in advance and which are just filler to get from point a to point b#because characters will jump in and out of consistent behaviors - particularly in HoO - and those lapses where they act weird#are almost always super disconnected from the rest of the plot or storyline or whatever arc that character is on#or are just so clearly sped through because they aren't important#Leo is a great character imo to look at to figure out if it's a filler scene or not lmao#if he's clearly masking being somber by putting on a silly act but dropping it quickly or otherwise largely acting serious/somber#then it's probably a more considered scene and actually paying attention to his overall character arc#or just remembering how the characters are supposed to act (in Leo's case - quiet/thoughtful/somber but masking it with humor/etc)#if he's 100% silly goofy depression arc nowhere in sight then its probably mostly a filler scene or at least his part in it is filler#anyways i highly recommend reading the tlt teaching guide its really interesting actually

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol
#wax seal#crafts#wax stamp#stationery#Window one is kind of stinky.. I was imagining like a swirly night sky sort of looking thing so it would be a surreal contrast of a night#sky with a window in the middle that shows a daytime sky - but the silver and purple wax kind of mixed too much together#with the black and it just looks very plain black and not all that starry or anything hjbhj.. Of course the eye is probably my favorite#since all I ever do is draw eyes and still like eye imagery for some reason. The four leaf clover is very lumpy and skrunkty but also it wa#the smallest in size out of all of them so was easier to do multiple stamps of just to try it out.#The heart with eyes wax is actually more swirly in person. I wanted it to be a mix of light pink and red and white. and the wax#did kind of all blend together but in person you can definitely see MORE of the intentional swirlyness. in this it just looks plain pink.#I was going to do one eye in the heart but it looked weird. but now two seems too plain. i could have done 3?? in a pattern.. hmm#alas. I wish I could make actual metal ones. With the clay i have to paint them in a thin layer of olive oil before stamping because#otherwise the wax just kind of gets stuck in the grooves of the clay and then you can't pull it up. Very wacky ''unprofessional'' looking#set up where I'm hot gluing circles of sculpey clay to short stumps of a wooden dowel that I sawed apart with a serrated bread knife#and then using an old paintbrush to put olive oil on them whilst holding a spoon over a yankee candle flame hjbjh#ANYWAY.. I think if I were middle class/rich/etc. this would be one of the main things in my crafting room is like.. SO many colors#of wax. and all different custom made stamps designed by me. which could be much more elaborate in actual metal.. muahaha.... >:)c#RHGghhh... I actually don't want to talk much about it since (this is probably just my Obsessed With My Own World Artist Delusions) I#think I have a really cool idea for a game that could genuinely be successful if i ever get to make it and I don't want to give#everything away and spoil the whole plot/concept in hopes that one day I can actually do it - BUT - a game that I'd like to make after the#visual novel I'm making now has partially to do with the main character working as a sort of writer/scribe/artist assistant in an elven#city (set in my world/with my worldbuilding species and versions of elves and etc) and I was thinking of maybe incorporating#somehow being able to collect little writing type items like these like.. you can get different wax seal patterns or pens or etc. when I do#stuff like this in Real Life it always makes me think of that like.. ouh... this is good research.. what it shall be like to be a littol#elf collecting wax seals and such.. indeed... GRR i need to be finished with my current game NOWWW... i MUST work on other#thingss... aughh... ANYWAY.. yay. accomplishment to do One Single Thing other than Sit In The Summer Heat And Rot#though also hilarious as this was the first cool-ish day that was below 80F in a while hgvh#waking up like 'wow.. i actually feel okay today?? like I could do things?? how mysterious.. I wonder why..?? :0'' Its The Weather You Fool#Tis Always The Weather

i think Euclydians should be portrayed like humans in hieroglyphs, with them always facing sideways to us
-
the world carved into wall. he wanted to show them stars with a chisel
#they had to have some kind of eye/s because otherwise they wouldnt know what it is#and it would explain why Bills eye directly facing us ie. looking at third dimension was seen as so weird#euclydia#the book of bill#tbob#bill cipher#gravity falls#thisisnotawebsitedotcom#this is not a website dot com#alex hirsch#the book of bill spoilers#tbob spoilers#haiku by me#id draw it if i was able to do anything more than editing images in paint 3d

Chandelure goes to Hisui with Ingo content? Curious to see what the Pearl Clan would make of this.
You better get your act together if you want Ingo's assistance in the training grounds, Kamado. Irida is not in the mood.
I distinctly remember Irida mentioning that clan pokemon were considered family, like her Eevees. After the initial everything of Ingo becoming a pearl clan member and, therefore, Chandelure as well, none of that distrusting stuff. They're part of the clan
#art requests#pla#pokemon legends arceus#pla era#submas#subway boss ingo#warden ingo#ingo#pla irida#clan leader irida#irida#chandelure#my art#doodles#Ingo be like: I may remember nothing. nothing but my dear partner and my own name#Irida: okay then. the weird lamp stays#palina: but irida#irida: I said it stays. Look at them. Look at them in the face and tell them otherwise#ingo: ... :<

i made this really quick for a friend but im posting it in case anyone else might find this useful. Basically i got this "technique" from a single image of concept art for the eagle from that "Rescuers down under" movie 😭 but imagining the head as a 3d object instead of starting with the basic flat circle REALLY helped me a lot
#art#tutorial#<- what im tagging these i think#art tutorial#it takes a while to get the hang of it but TRUST ME it's worth it. i left that dusty circle behind so long ago#Also the pie shape only works for narrow faces that taper at the end#If you wanna go broader you'll need to make like. Actual polygon/cube#ALSO ALSO. features of the face like teeth eyes horns etc will also need to be angled diagonally#Otherwise it will look weird

EVERY FUCKING TIME#also bruh not THIS about to be the thing that forces me to actually properly draw ears. like i can technically but i dont like doing it#cus they look weird. but some of these character designs look really weird/wrong imo if i try removing/hiding the ears so GRAHH#its like how sonic forced me to reexamine anatomy in my feeble attempts to draw sonic styled charas. aughhh#granted i still think i suck ass at drawing sonic charas and my regular humanoid anatomy thangs aint that good either#but its considerablyyyy better i'd say comparing to my art from like 5-7 years ago for example. so thats a good thing ig?#anyways back on topic. upscaled this bc i accidentally made it tiny and honestly i still dont know if this looks that good#feel like smthns missing or the lighting looks weird but i think im just gonna stop looking at it otherwise ill go insane

the vision of gojo actually being really scary and unsettling in theory and he laughs about it as if he's not and like ":>" about it is what makes me want to fuck him so bad lol. that's the only appeal if i'm being honest
#its not abt the lewks for me#gojo is carried by his personality and actions if we r being real#hes just some guy with blue eyes and white hair otherwise#THEY KINDA JUST COPIED DAZAI WITH HIM IF IM REAL LMAO i miss that dude a lot...#idk perhaps im weird but love when hes scary oughgghg#and when hes all bloody and looking insane#esp when he treats u good but it's in an unsettling manner lmao albeit for u to know. and he laughs about it like dkfgjhjf IDK#sora.txt#hes just perf for yandere hes so weirdddd lollll#yandere cw#<- jic

hey no wait. hang on, wait. wenjing is like, explicitly the secret sword, right, the one basically no one knew about, it's part of the reason the court is like 'mmk seems legit' when fang doubing is like ~I am totally for real his disciple~ because he knows about the sword at all
but li xiangyi/lianhua is clearly like. practiced at using the sword, which does not move like basically...any other weapon. that man has spent a fuck lot of time training to and straight up developing how to use a sword that is basically the most unswordlike sword to ever sword. that sword is like a slap bracelet with bladed edges that can also cut through....anything? nearly anything?? it does not move or react like your standard mostly rigid bar of folded metal sword, is the gist here.
which brings me to two, semi-related, points:
when saintess rocks up to steal di feisheng from the zombie cave and also is like 'I'm going to kill you uh actually lol nope fuck that I'm outtie peace bitches', is that literally the first time she's even got a hint that li xiangyi/lianhua has a sword that is basically nigh impossible to block because it can straight up bend around obstacles? (obstacles such as, say, anyone else's sword) if yes, no fucking wonder she's like mmmm I see no thank you I need to go wash my di feisheng's hair, so busy, catch you later because like. how the fuck do you even deal with that. a guy who should have been horribly and messily dead literally a decade ago rocks up and is like 'I lived bitch! also surprise, I have a sword made of glowing Go-Fuck-Yourself metal', like, I too would fucking split! you would only be able to find me by the cartoon dust cloud left in my wake. RIP to everyone else in the jianghu but saintess is making the objectively correct choice here, which is wild because, like. saintess.
how many people's last fucking moment was seeing throat cutter, probably glowing and covered in their blood? because like. Li xiangyi clearly used it! enough to be good at using it. enough to know that it glows blue when there's blood on it, even if he apparently was just like sometimes swords just glow for reasons I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. so. if no one outside of sigu sect high command knows that wenjing exists*, that means everyone else who ever saw that sword -- which there has to have been people, given that li xiangyi was out there uhhh using it -- those people who saw it presumably also uh. died. in a pretty confirmed kinda way. likely via....that sword. throat cutter** indeed
*and not even all of the inner sigu sect command folks knew about li xiangyi having it! they're pretty explicit that five people total know about the sword, which is the four court heads, and then presumably either qiao wanmian or xiao zijin, but not both of them (which, lmao, what the hell were sigu sect internal politics for real), and even that's if we assume shan gudao is not being included in the count because he's "dead"
**yes I know it's a reference to a friendship/relationship you'd cut your throat for per @murderedbyhomework's recent great meta, but also, like. it's still a cut throat, y'know? words can have multiple meanings, and also this is mostly a pun on the name. the rest of the post stands as is tho.
#mysterious lotus casebook#li xiangyi#look I know it's a staple of the genre and etc#but also. li xiangyi is a straight up ruthless little fucker and I just feel like sometimes that gets a little glossed over#man has a secret second sword. absolutely insane.#(also sidebar I feel like there's somehting about how di feisheng's dao is Notably Fucking Weird#and li xiangyi's sword is. Also Notably Fucking Weird.#but everyone knows that di feisheng's sword is Fucking Weird#or at least. you do if you're looking. he's not hiding that.#he's built his whole fighting style around how Fucking Weird his sword is#and only a few people know that li xiangyi also has a Weird Sword and that sword is otherwise explicitly secret#like idk. the parallels or whatever.)#(also haha di feisheng literally the only person in the world for like. a decade.#who's faced wenjing and lived to talk about it afterwards)#waters words
