#self projecting on that one

you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life
#psa: don't degrade your own work just because you're dissatisfied with it or worried other people will see the mistakes#project the confidence and the skill you're longing for will come i promise#not art#it's another one of my pet peeves online and something i had to learn myself#self-degradation is not the key to being a good artist online#it'll do more harm than good in fact

Question!
What's your headcanons for the coolest skeleton?
Your whole blog is mostly papyrus stuff
So I'd like to think you have some headcanons for the bonehead
Have a nice day! (I don't know how to end this blog)

I usually try to stick more to canon so none of my headcanons are really that interesting, but I did get to draw more papyrus, so that’s something!
Thank you for your curiosity!

I have this very self-indulgent headcanon that, despite all Jason's genius cooking, there is one recipe he can't recreate, no matter how hard hard he tries, and it frustrates him. It is not even a hard one. In fact, it is the simplest dish in the world... and still, he fails to find the right way to bring it back to life.
You see, back in the time, before Willis got arrested, Catherine was more or less functional kind of mother. Yes, they didn't have any kind of luxury — they lived in the same street, in the same dishevelled house, with their clothes old, sewed back countless amount of times — but they survived. Willis brought money back home, and more often than not, Jason had a full stomach. And Catherine cooked to him.
Every dinner, she brought him the same yellow scrapped plate with warm, salty pasta. She always smiled shyly, as if trying not to burst with apologises for the repetitive meal they could afford, but Jason didn't mind. He loved it. It was warm, it was tasty. It was everything he wanted.
And then, Willis got in prison, Catherine fell a victim of addiction, and Jason... and Jason didn't eat anything like that for a long time. And when he finally did, thanks to Bruce and Alfred, it tasted differently. Not bad, not at all... just differently.
For years, he tried to recreate his mother's recipe (Catherine didn't even do anything special — she boiled a water, she added a salt, nothing special) and all fruitless. He died, got back — and still! Still no success.
What is it that his attempts are lacking? Why can't he cook it?
He lost so many memories along his way, but this one — this exact taste on the tip of his tongue — he could never throw away, even if he tried.
So, he tries, tries, tries-
And never succeeds.
#Jason and his eternal chase of Something he can't put in words sometimes#jason todd#red hood#dcu comics#batman#dcu#dc universe#batfamily#catherine todd#alfred pennyworth#i am going to be honest with you all this one is very self-indulegent hoho#projecting my issues on him. but if the crown fits—

look at yourself… you’re the true puppet.
#persona 5#goro akechi#akira kurusu#oof my art i guess#shuake#this was for a palace au zine that went on indefinite hiatus#and I like this piece far too much to let it sit in my drafts forever#so behold!#akechi palace au art be upon you!#the hand up top could be shido or maruki or yaldi whatever you want#I just think Akechi’s palace would be about control or lack thereof#and the masks he puts on that hide his true self from the world#but maybe that’s just the p4 enjoyer in me talking#hand could also be the true shadow akechi and the one on stage truly is a puppet#idk it’s whatever u want it to be like I said#I just thought this concept was Neat lmao#I’m also forever a huge fan of his line abt his final enemy being a puppet version of himself#and how that ties into third semester and the choice on 2/2#man I just love goro akechi#anyways that’s it ty for listening to me ramble#expect more persona art from me soonish I’m about to be released from zine secrecy jail for a couple projects lmao

Stan and Kyle with Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian's makeup from System Of A Down :3 (Version without makeup here ↓)

I drew this in November 2024 but I never posted it because I was so embarrassed (?) But well, I like it right now :) Them as SOAD fans at 16-17yo <33
(Makeup references and headcanons here ↓)


I really liked adding some of my headcanons, like them as Nirvana fans/listeners (Stan's t-shirt [which is also my first Nirvana t-shirt, me projecting myself onto Stan as always 🫡] and Kyle's In Utero poster). Also, I've added a poster of The Cure and the Toxicity album from SOAD too :3
And my favourite one, Kyle's pendant with the C of Crimson Dawn <33 Stan gave it to him when they were 14 and it is secretly his favourite possession (although he has never admitted it, he always wears it).
And well that's all, it's my first time drawing Stan with bleached hair like Trey's, I don't know if I'll keep it for other drawings but for now I like it :]
#i forgot to mention that I also did Stan's makeup (Serj's) on Halloween so it's double self-projecting woohoo#triple if we count his face#actually this drawing made me very happy and I have a lot of affection for it#although it took me 1 hour and 48 minutes to show it to my best friends because I was VERY embarrassed of it#this is probably one of the drawings I made during my study time on november#things that never change 🎀#south park#south park fanart#south park headcanons#south park crimson dawn#south park style#sp fanart#sp headcanons#sp crimson dawn#sp style#sp stan#sp kyle#kyle broflovski#stan marsh#style#art#drawing#artists on tumblr#digital drawing#nirvana#system of a down#the cure#serj tankian#daron malakian#my art :3 !!

*Breaks into your house to stare wistfully out the window* Do you ever think that CTHenry is, at least by some perceptions, a corpse being kept alive by gold dust and the whimsy of a goddess whose motives are unknown? I do. *Puffs on bubble pipe* Anyway. I'm still holding out hope for a happy ending for our Miserable Train Gays. Iram gentlemen. Have a good day 💗

My page for @kairizine. It was such a huge honor to be part of this wonderful book with everyone, I had so much fun!
[id in alt!]
#kingdom hearts#kh#kh kairi#kh xion#kh namine#i don't really feel proud of my own stuff usually but#i really think this is the drawing i'm most proud of from this past year!! it made me think 'oh maybe i can draw' haha#i'm still kinda bad with colors but something clicked with this one. and i feel like i got the sentimental feeling i wanted!#ooh but this project's about flower symbolism so ramble incoming:#protea symbolizes resilience transformation and diversity; hollyhock means 'please remember me.'#so my general theme was finding a sense of self.#these 3 have struggled with finding their own identity; they tend to get left behind both in-universe and in general plotwise#and naminé and xion both resemble kairi and were overshadowed by her memory. but i feel like all 3 have transformed into their own people#xion and naminé have their faces covered partially by hollyhock to show their wish to be remembered for who they are-#instead of the parts that they share with someone else#and the protea bouquets show how they each held on and resiliently grew into their own person despite it all#i put a little swervy path on the hill behind kairi to give that hopeful sense of growth and moving forward. it's a little hard to see#hopefully that makes sense! i really love symbolism but i think in visuals so i'm really bad with words#but gosh working with everyone on this project was so fun. it was like impossible not to get swept up by the team's hype for this zine#i need to hunt down everybody's work and rb it#ohh and everybody's flowers are so crisply drawn it's insane!! i think if i lined all these flowers and leaves i'd die haha#fan art#my art#project stuff

My @isat-secretsanta-2024 gift for @pillowspace!! They said they’re fascinated by secret research lab AUs, and, in a case of incredible serendipity, that’s been my favorite trope since I was like 8 years old. So I may have gotten possessed and spent three weeks straight worldbuilding a whole entire thing.
So! This comic is my gift for Pillow, but I’m planning to write a fic set in the same AU eventually, titled Desperate Measures. It will take place in a modern day Vaugarde and focus on Odile, Loop, and Siffrin, alongside other more-or-less-familiar faces. And by “eventually” I mean this is now my highest priority project, but it’s big enough that it may be a couple months till I have anything else to show!
Journal transcript under the cut:
wavelength of 690nm, which means it would activate L cones nearly exclusively. If we're correct in our mapping of wavelength combinations to color terms in historical documents, then this would be considered a shade of "red".
I still don't know if I believe it. It seems fantastical, like I've become a character in a children's story, chosen to leave behind the world of the mundane and enter a realm of magic. Or like this is all a dream, and as soon as I'm about to see the shade my brain will realize it doesn't actually know how to show me something I've never seen before, so it'll put me in front of a full auditorium instead; and then I'll forget how to speak Vaugardian, or realize I'm not wearing any pants, or both, and then I'll wake with a start back in Ka Bue.
But however strange it seems, I can't think of any reason they'd have to lie about it. Why else all the NDAs? Why else contact me? So I must assume that it's true. That after years of trying to solve humanity's loss of color vision — a project that began long before I joined it, and that I expected to continue long past my time — I am about to simply be shown a perceivable color. That's the strangest part, really; that this breakthrough isn't related to the mechanisms of sight, but rather, the thing seen.
14/1/29
I thought perhaps they'd synthesized it somehow. Stumbled upon the correct combination of chemicals by accident. Maybe even invented a new sort of craft.
I didn't expect their source of red to be alive.
#FINALLY I CAN TALK ABOUT IT! THE PROJECT!! YAY YIPPEE#in stars and time#isat odile#isat loop#isat#odile#loop#odile & loop#desperate measures AU#pillowspace#silverstarsart#for how much i love secret lab aus it’s wild i’ve never done one before#it just feels sooo self indulgent lol#also. requires a lot of worldbuilding#if you want to really get into the research you gotta do your fucking research#i know SO MUCH about the biochemical mechanisms of sight now y’all#did you know that capturing a light photon of the correct wavelength turns retinals trans?#we disseminate only the most vital of scientific information here on beneathsilverstars dot tumblr dot com
