#thing is i enjoyed it but i felt like i kind of finished with rhat style as soon as i used it and then was kind of bored so i moved on idk#but the concepts were super cool so id like to finish them idk and i liked the unifying nature of the style that could be easily adapted#and also those mycyrequests from like 2 weeks ago are dead in the water now lol#i kind of want to spend some time on something cute tho like an infomercial or guide on (fun) methods for language learning#since im not drawinf so much and im instead spending so long on languages#FUCK MY DUOLINGO STREAK#i also want to use more complex styles#ive realised that rendering just isnt really my thing atm and that maybe id like to develop a more graphic style#i really liked usinf textures in that 1 b dubs post#idk these are just my current thoughts#im really getting on on nom-internet physical work and so this stuff is taking a backseat until like next year#im hoping to get better training in digital painting in abour a years time or so that will really give me a kick up the ass if i want to#paint but now isn't the time for that#now its time for ACRYLIC

chat imma be honest that project diva PC release has had lasting consequences ,
#vocaloid#hatsune miku#art#doodles#dat me#comic#ms paint#life is paint#i should get in on that animation meme. for my obligatory july animation that i always get possessed to do.#i sourced these sonas from my actual old art on my deviantart and here on tumblr. weeps#this blog is too ooooooold#10 years old ..................#technically the ipod isn't dead but the battery is shot so it only holds charge for maybe a half hour if you use it#i still have it. it lives in my desk. i just charged it for the first time in 7 years a few months ago so i could rebuilt my#authentic middle school vocaloid playlist as a youtube playlist. AND add to it#268 songs and counting! there could be even more on here but i had to delete some in middle school cuz my ipod could only hold 8 gb#My ipod was literally filled to the brim with vocaloid. I had to delete some 50 songs over time so if i didn't i would be over 300 now#do you guys remember the chunky rubber wrist bands of the late 2000s and early 2010s. miss those

Stubbornness.
#oc#haven#i worked genuinely hard as fuck on this one#tfw you follow someone to their home to demand they speak with you face to face because you want to commit extreme violence on them#over a business dispute. and because they do not want you to do this they simply do not come outside. and you eventually make it clear you#will not be leaving until they come outside so you can discuss (read: harm them over) said business dispute. so they turn on their#sprinkler system and go to sleep. and you decide on the spot that this isn't that big a deal and if you leave now you'll lose ALL#credibility FOR EVER. so you decide to stand around and wait until they come out and . by the time the morning arrives you have#contracted Hypothermia and The Beginnings Of Pneumonia and also Did Not Maul That Guy#started this as a proof of concept test of doing an overpainting on super vivid red#expecting to spend like#maybe forty minutes on it#and then about uh.... like... at least seven hours later i was like okaayyyyy now im done#stay tuned i have two variants that didnt make the cut also#also the picture is big as fuck so i recommend straight up opening it into a different tab to look at details#not that there are that many#i painted it 80% at zoom-out scale

this man invaded our house, ate from the fridge and stole my heart. Maybe this yiling laozu dude isn't so bad after all. Anyway, big thanks to @revanchxst for dragging me into this hole. It's been two weeks and I haven't know peace ever since.
#the plague from prince of egypt is playing on the bg#lee i made this for you#lemme try to tag this monster now#mdzs#the untamed#wei wuxian#yiling laozu#the amount of shrimp emotions i have for this godforsaken man is illegal#it's the first time i paint something that isn't kotor/da related and it feels weird#also i'm feeling a bit lost with my art in general so that didn't help#but the process for this was very nice#cw blood

thought it'd be weird not to post a drawing, but i wanna get sentimental too my 20s were spent working. some school but mostly work. and living with my parents still which sucked. only in the last few months did all these big changes happen (quit my job, moved out, changed fursona lmao)
i dunno what's in store in the future, but i feel like my 30s are gonna be way better than my 20s. posting this to manifest that i suppose
#self portrait#ms paint#if you're having a shit time in your 20s right now#this isn't the last time in your life to have a good time

I feel so near to the howling of the wind / Feel so near to the crashing of the waves / Feel so near to the flowers in the field...
[moth and compass is a collaboration with @natdrinkstea!]
#em draws stuff#oc time again hehe#moth and compass#the light keeper: luna maitland#LONG TIME NO MOTH AND COMPASS!! HERE SHE IS :3#it feels like forever since I've just let myself paint around instead of fast scribble or big limited-palette colorblocks#and coming back to my usual brushes just felt so much easier in comparison - relaxing even though I didn't realize I was stressed!#well. I did know I was stressed but not About This.#feel like I've got a better idea of how to quick-render an effective background now!#genuinely I'm pleased enough with this that it's going in the portfolio#<- he says as if the portfolio is getting used for anything and isn't just a folder on his phone with his favorite art pieces of his own#caption lyrics from 'feel so near' by dougie maclean which I have had on a cd for over a decade and is very precious to me

I may have lost this painting when I quit my drawing programme, but I can offer a small writing snippet to accompany the WIP screenshot, so it's not all gone to waste:
“What are you painting?”
Tamara hadn’t heard Ockham come in, but the way the corners of her vision shift around her, harsh lines of light softening to a dreamy blur, she should’ve realised it much sooner.
“It’s the view from my bedroom balcony. In Varchas,” she says, choosing her words carefully in a tongue that still feels foreign and clunky.
Ockham squints, studying the painting with a furrowed brow, and the expression suddenly reminds her of her auntie. Tamara shakes her head, dismissing the illogical comparison. They clearly look nothing alike. They shouldn’t, at least.
Ockham’s hand traces along the line of a wall of mirrors, where it intersects with a planter containing long dead greenery, careful not to touch the still wet paint. She’s suddenly aware that the perspective on the planter is off, and makes a mental note to fix it as soon as she’s able.
“It is not a very nice view,” Ockham finally says.
Although it’s a somewhat rude thing to say, it’s not entirely wrong. There was nothing special or aesthetically pleasing about the view. She’d barely paid it any mind herself, in all of the years she’d lived and slept in that room. The part of her brain that had been slowly developing since she’d picked up this new hobby urged her to move some elements, give the piece stronger tones than the monotonous muddy yellow characteristic of Varchaasi evenings. But that would go against the aim of painting it in the first place.
“It is not a very nice view, no. But it’s the one I had, and if I don’t paint it how it was, I fear one day I won’t remember how it really looked like anymore.”
Ockham’s studying her now, and she wishes, not for the first time, that she had any insight into her flatmate and companion’s mind, whether it even worked the same way as a real person’s would. If Ockham would find her thought offensive.
“Ok.”
“Ok?” she repeats, confused.
“Ok,” Ockham nods, then moves away from the painting towards the door, “I go now on the market. Is there something not on the list that we need?”
She nods no, then catches herself and changes the motion.
“No, nothing.”
“Ok.”
Ockham is gone again. This time she hears the door click closed. With a sigh, she draws her brush across the canvas, determined to fix that planter before it cements itself as warped in her memories.
#tamara#ockham#my art#and they were roommates#oh my god they were roommates#this is set in early days after tamara's arrival in london#when she is still picking up english (though honestly speaks it much better than ockham by this point)#and has just picked up drawing/painting in her free time#and ockham is still recovering from an identity crisis after learning heshethey is a parabolan reflection#ockham isn't in the flat very often and they only recently overcame a language barrier#so they haven't really gotten to know each other all that well#but it will come#especially when tamara starts to learn flemish because she feels it would make ockham more comfortable than using english#but for now a bit of 'what is wrong with my bizarre flatmate' slice of life#how i approach ockham's pronouns in non-meta settings is a whole other writing piece#and i couldn't introduce it here without derailing from a short piece#so that's for the future#my writing

"bad decisions, that's alright; look, i'm still alive"
#&juliet#if you saw the old version of this... no you didn't#anyway. &j posting now... made this into what i like to call a public transport wip#in which painting on phone with fingers commences! usually it happens to doodles that get coloured and i want to clean up#idk about the colours here though... that said it's a livable error#smth smth reminders to not feel so scared... many many paths.#be less afraid of messing up? just live life? many many paths#one of my key takeaways from this show was along those lines#sobs.. if that isn't the premise of the musical huh? juliet is so young and has her whole life ahead to live...#still so much ahead of her- so what if she Didn't kill herself?#<holds tightly> many routes. many routes. i am young and have my life yet to be lived.#also this comes from the joint bit near the end where angelique sings to juliet#!! also just realised that the nurse and juliet's hairstyles parallel each other... such a cute detail..#// sometimes the stuff i make is really just because the themes resonate at this specific point in life..#i think it's getting more self-specific! tbh every time i catch myself creating for Myself specifically i go <333

Usually I tap out on shark art for a little while after Sharktember, but there is a different shark themed art event in October called Sharktober that sometimes tempts me with really enticing prompts.
Day 1's prompt was fairytale, which (a) how do I not participate in this very specific overlap of interests and (b) inspired this Cindershark.
Some day her prince will come!
#sharktober#fairytale shark#watercolor#I am so sorry to anyone following me who isn't into sharks right now#I promise I am also painting other things ahaha#I contain multitudes and sometimes that multitude is sharks and sometimes it is anime lesbians and I like to give all of them air time

well. apparently I did something bad yesterday because I woke up with very very very bad pain in my shoulder/arm/upper back. I guess it's sore muscles but I don't know from what. 🙃
#didn't do anything unusual yesterday. mostly sat around. also drove 30 minutes but that was fine. painted a while. stuff like that#I just wish sore muscles (or whatever it is) didn't feel so absolutely fucking horrible#it feels like my arm is being ripped off. it feels like it's on fire. it's genuinely like an 8 or more on the pain scale#it's SO BAD.#and I remember that it did not used to feel like that. the first time it happened I was like 20.#that was... awful.#and since then it keeps happening#anyway idk I just feel like that isn't normal???#it's not something I've heard other (healthy) people describe?#like it's not. oh yeah I exercised too much and now my arm is sore. I remember what that felt like. no it's like being tortured#or maybe I am just a big baby. it's probably that.#I'm trying to distract myself by watching stuff but the pain is so bad that I can't focus on anything#I've taken painkillers. hopefully they'll work soon. it hurts so bad.#personal

Day 27 and 28 of @amphibianaday's Amphibuary! I redrew my day 10, for the prompts of 'self' and 're-do', once again under the cut for very mild rainworld spoilers
And my mom also redid her day 10! We didn't plan that, it just worked out that way
#i'm really happy with how this one came out!#the line art isn't as good because i just traced it from the first one instead of carefully measuring things out and using a straight-edge#but the coloring is much better because i put so much time into it#the big black blocks were much easier due to my remembrance of my dear friend paint#the shading for the pillars and statue at the top of the page are also courtesy of my dear friend paint#also! internet amphibian person! you keep saying how cool it is that so many people did it#but i would like to say that it's really cool that you made it in the first place#for several years now i've been meaning to begin drawing and amphibuary struck me with a lightning bolt of inspiration#and you always add commentary to every piece!#even if it's just a simple ''very cute'' or pointing out a detail you like that's still really cool of you!#all through february one of the highlights of my morning has been checking my notifications and seeing what kind words you had about my art#i thank you as i'm sure many others do as well

Man as a kid, I took modding for granted. Now I feel like I gotta step up and continue the passion.
I remember using the trainer for GTAIV, at the time, it was The Trainer since there seldom if any were alternatives. It has literally, every conceivable option you'd want, literally think of it, it has it.
Then GTAV came out and...wow. None of these trainers are remotely feature complete. It occurred to me then that, such expected things and standards, aren't guarantees in modding. That someone took their free time to make something for free with no payment, it's incredible.
Then I see that same mentality applied to Paid Products and I'm out of patience to explain the free market a 50th time and how we're the sole and only regulators, the literal half of the free market, yet we just give companies all the power regardless.
Anyways next time you're mad about some mod that's non-inherently bad, just remember, some people pay for that quality or worse, expect it. The modder wasn't trying to garner anything but adding onto people's experiences. The dev much the same, but the publisher, the CEO, considerthat they've effectively ensured you never own a single piece of media without piracy, ever again. We Lost That War because we Believed The Rich Would Be Decent. For 2 decades.
There's a reason Not to have the same mentality with modders, with purchased products. You're no longer 2 buddies playin' games and making stuff for it. You're a consumer enabling, normalizing, and supporting an industry/company who's entire goal and state of being is to lower our standards so much they can get away with worse later.
It's rich people. Not people like you and me. The employee is closer to you than the CEO, understand that, and learn to respect yourself enough not to allow them to swindle you, it is, quite literally, their main skillset and they never shut it off, you're larping to pretend anything otherwise and are doing so thinking you're protecting either friend or ego, but the fact is, you gave them that, and are scared what they'll do with it. Stop giving them trust and power over you, you're literally able to bankrupt them by not buying from them. We've seen it, time, and time, and time, and time again, when the community strikes back, We Win.
We just don't because too many people are unwilling to raise their standards, and instead, take time to defend the undefendable. Sorry but there's no way to defend a company with a streak of SA issues. Maybe consider where your money is going and how that's impacting everyone's jobs and purchases. Comes down to self-respect and demanding better.
Whilst your entire generation became Noticeably Very Poorer, the rich have amassed an absolutely unfeasible level of insane wealth, taking half our dwindling money during Covid. Why the fuck is the only thing improving the graphics? Why are we Crawling our way towards 5% of the 6th generation's standards? Why are we celebrating that? Games went down in price since cartridges, but did not change what so ever for online distribution. We are literally, paying, for the Manufacturing of Physical Copies, for Digital Copies, we Don't Even Own, that's how bad it's gotten, they literally got a free 10-20$ by moving to online.
So again, please, Please, understand I am closer to you politically than you are to any CEO or corporate logo. You are closer to your dog than you will ever be to 100k. You do not, and will never, be in this industry as the CEO's friend or company mascot, you are not that. You are a consumer, start acting like the other half of the free market and not a Pay Piggy Useful Idiot.
They even raised the prices. Good. God. We Are Losing.
#Gaming#games#gaming industry#pay piggy useful idiots#pleas make that spread it's absolutely perfect#your average “library spreader” yes that's real#Doesn't want to be that#doesn't want to be called that#but will only recognize that's them when explained that such mentality makes them lose respect in the eyes of god#At some point I just gotta ask people. The fuck happened.#“budgets” no we've been through this a million times. They set the budgets. But primarily that's not the issue. See half the budget is alwa#Marketing. And. Well Graphics are Marketing. They are! Artistry is not and it's what people combine with graphics in an effort to make#any argument for continually making products meant for 10 years from now when everyone's on better hardware. But otherwise most players#won't get to experience. Is there a remote reason why I need 2k in hardware to play a game at a reasonable framerate and visual quality?#Why are graphics settings solely to make the game look worse and run better instead of the game just running right#I have a fucking 3090 and 12700kf both OC you're really gonna tell me that's not enough for fucking Silent Hill 2 Remake? Really?#Tell me why such an important piece of gaming history can only run on expensive hardware#Minecraft can run on anything. Just saying#like gaming isn't meant to be this unoptimized and graphical heavy#then the gameplay is always so poor in these games. The direction for the player is yellow paint like guys. These products got worse#solely to the detriment of themselves and only to benefit the graphics. Because my god#My god why do we need raytracing?????#Who's this for? Oh yeah like 5% of the human population that can afford the hardware to enjoy it. Let alone the GPU to support it#Anyways the primary point is this. Games used to be Complete and came out when Done and Confident in their product.#“Nu uh here's a bargain bin gam-” Okay? We're talking triple a and have been for decades what the hell- Oh yeah okay how about indie games#back then huh? Oh no indie games? Wow! What a fruitful talking point you have made and I responded in kind with the exact same#Regardless games have gone down in features and quality while graphics spiked and not one soul has a single argument for it#not a one argument exists for why the hell GAMING needs such ridiculous investment#it's no wonder Mobile took over. Triple A basically gave Nothing for the average consumer#Graphics don't matter and legitimately never have. Your game should run on just about anything unless there's a legitimate purpose.

I thought this one part in a Doom comic from 1996 felt extremely fitting for Hank, so here :)
Original below cut:
I also based Torture's design from how Krinkels drew him here!! :D
#My art#Madness Combat#MadCom#Mag Agent Torture#Mag Agent#Hank J Wimbleton#Hank#DOOM#FIRST TIME DRAWING MAG AGENT WOOOO#I can't draw blood to save my fuckin life lmao#Blood cw#Comic#Really loving Clip Studio Paint like it has preset action lines#so you don't have to draw them by hand :D#and the line tool which is great for speech bubbles n stuff#If it isn't obvious already I'm exclusively using this program for making art from now on
