ONE DAY I'll learn how to properly draw clothing folds. This is Camila,,, one of Mavi's (many) siblings and uhhh splatband oc. I faced the same problem I did when orignally designing Mavi which was how do I want to draw the dorsal fin?? It was a bit easier this time though since I actually had a reference with Mavi, so there's that!!

Anywayyss these ARE just doodles but I'm hoping to use the first sketch for her ref sheet in the future

Several weeks ago one of my coworkers called me over into her cubicle and gave me a very unexpected gift. Her mother passed away recently, and she'd been packing stuff up at her condo to give to relatives and sell, so the home could be sold. The mother was an avid knitter and crocheter, and when my coworker came upon her stash of equipment, she told me, she "immediately thought of me as someone who might get some use out of it."

So, I have inherited a varied collection of knitting needles and crochet hooks, cable needles, sewing needles, and, best of all, now-out-of-print pattern books, mostly for blankets, because that was what this lady loved to make most. Plus, I also have a bunch of gauge swatches she made, pinned to little bits of card covered in perfect schoolteacher handwriting setting out the patterns they were made to test.

And also...

My coworker brought another bag, full of yarn and...knitted blanket squares. Her mother's last started project, before she got too sick to continue. And she asked if there was anything I could do with it.

It turned out, there are twelve completed squares, and I quickly located the pattern book they are from amid those given to me. It's a book of 60 patterns, meant to be put together however the maker wishes into blankets of 20 squares. I figured out which of the numbered patterns were already made, and selected eight more that I thought might go well with them.

So now! I am working on completing! My coworker's mother's last knitting project!

And I really am feeling very good about doing it.

I like thrifting and antiquing videos because y’know, I’m an antique collector. I just watched a video of a woman cover a black glass art deco vase with MATTE WHITE SPRAY PAINT. I’m tearing my hair out. Even though she didn’t show us the makers mark or anything I’m fairly sure it was authentic, if it was a replica then it was a beautiful piece on its own. I hate DIYers so much like I get needing to repair or refurbish pieces that are in poor condition but in what world is it more economical, practical or satisfying to spray paint an 80 year old glass vase than to buy the stupid $12 Home Goods ceramic porcelain vase you wanted in the first place. Black glass is so fucking beautiful. This generation’s obsession with beiges and earth tones and matte textures has me biting and writhing and foaming at the mouth.

i imagine felix explained to kagami that he was transmasc and she was like "you can do that? really?!" and then felix lent them his old binder and well, you get it.

A timeline of Bisig!! Since I've decided her birthday was in July, I felt it was time for a little retrospective :>

Thought it'd be fun to see how the way I've drawn her has evolved over the years!

I love, love, love you fanfic writers that expand on Aemma as an individual character and her relationships with Rhaenyra and Daemon <3

Margo likes to sit on the stoop gazing out into the yard when she’s ready to come in, but then she heard me trying to take a pic of her.

not to be THAT one piece fan but i will point out that in the earlier one piece seasons the fanservice isn't nearly as bad. like, this is what the main two female leads looked like at the beginning.

don't get me wrong, they definitely both had boobs but the fanservice was ignorable if you didn't want to focus on it and the majority of their outfits were actually pretty conservative as far as female anime characters go. tbh, you cou'd argue that the anime sexualized zoro a little bit too. i think the girls only got sexualized in later seasons bc of pressure from shonen jump to appeal more towards a young male audience and the fact that they got older (i don't think the mangaka knows how to realistically draw a female getting older)

but as someone whos seen fairy tail and one piece (and enjoyed both for the record) i have to give one piece it's flowers for it's writing of female characters. these two women (and many others in the series) are so fucking cool and developed and strong in a way thats really rare for a series from it's time. oda really DOES know how to write a female character, even if he's a bit shameless with how he draws them.

i miss these designs so much. nico robin (the lady in purple) is so mommy. i bet you'd like her.

(feel free not to answer btw i just had to yap bc being a one piece fan is my toxic trait)

ahhh i completely understand what you're saying but T-T T-T for some reason the anime double g cups and four inch waist rendered specifically in this style just hits me straight in the body dysphoria. i can't speak on the fan-service or how they're written, but unfortunately i simply Cannot View these beautiful ribcage-less women.

i don't think it's even a sexualization issue, tbh. i'm a pretty die-hard studio trigger fan so artists drawing a specific character with a pencil in one hand and their dick in the other generally doesn't bother me, but i think the one piece girls are just a little south of my 'unrealistic anime proportions' limit. uta of one piece red fame also doesn't bother me (as tested by the half million times i've watched the backlight clip), so i really think i am just deeply put-off by the absolute lack of space for internal organs in nami and robin's torsos in specific. i didn't realize the existence of anime women's small intestines was so important to me, but apparently it is.
