#sometimes I wish I was doing digital art instead but then I remembered that I'd probably spend insane amounts of time to fix little mistake

Augustus: *throwing a tantrum* "DAD WHY AM I LIKE THIS"

Octavius: "Well, I didn't sculpt you but it seems they ran out of marble."

Augustus: "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT STINKS HAVING NO HANDS"

Jed: "Or legs."

Octavius: "That's not helping."

Omg you can't just say that Jed!

I swore I'd never wade into this cesspool of constant hatred again, but forgive me—sometimes the SMH is just too overwhelming. The last few hours have been a marathon of eye rolls. So here I am, unable to stand idly by, and compelled to comment.

It's like watching a train wreck you can't look away from. 🙄🚂💥

To all you niche fandom warriors out there—let's take a deep breath and reevaluate, shall we? What cosmic force gave you the right to become digital gladiators, slashing and burning through the lives of characters and actors you barely knew existed a year ago? It’s a TV show, people! You do get that actors and their characters aren’t the same entity, right? They follow a script directed by showrunners to bring someone's vision to life.

But here you are, raining a storm of petty outrage every time this poor soul even dares to post online. Didn’t even have a clue about their existence last year, huh? Oh, but how you cheered when they first burst onto the scene! Until...drumroll, please...things didn’t go exactly as you wanted. You didn't even try to get off your high horse, to keep the drama on screen where it belongs!

Instead, you became self-appointed judges of humanity. Really? What makes you so "superior" to the ones you attack? Are you, like, divine beings or something? Or are you just freeloading off your parents, nestled comfortably in the cozy confines of their basement? Got to say, it’s intriguing how you afford all that tech—cell phones, tablets, laptops—while claiming you’re in some dire straits. Ever heard of irony?

So, do you have any idea what it's like to be part of a “minority”? And nope, I'm not here for the usual skin color, religion, gender shindig. Ever had a stalker? No, I didn't think so. If you did, you wouldn’t be wielding your keyboard as a weapon of mass destruction.

Let me guess, you’re too young to know what the world was like ten or fifteen years ago—heard about the beginnings of AIDS? Nah, too busy spreading your smear campaigns.

Honestly, it seems like hating in a group gives you a weird sense of camaraderie. It’s like hate is your version of a club membership. You don't even know why you’re mad half the time, do you? Ever stared at yourself in the mirror and questioned what you’re doing? No, that’s what I thought.

Listen up, people can dislike TV characters and the actors who play them—that’s fair game. But what you’re doing? It’s like trying to win the gold medal in the Hate Olympics. You’re so lost in your anger and hatred that you’ve forgotten rationality even exists.

Do you spend your nights alone in bed, with no partner, just stewing in your hate? Must be fun, huh? Hate to break it to you, but that doesn’t make for a great bedtime story.

What grinds my gears the most is how you wish people dead. Do you even know what a real loss feels like? Not just Grandma passing away peacefully at 98. I’m talking about watching someone full of life being taken away. You don’t know squat.

And let’s not forget those celebs you put on a pedestal. They aren’t as well known as you think. Outside of your little bubble, nobody gives a crap about what you haters want. You’re just noise compared to the average 10 million viewers of General Audience.

So, what’s the deal? Are your lives so empty that your greatest joy is harassing others online? Is that really the peak of your existence?

To summarize: You know nothing, Jon Snow. You're wasting your life away, hating people you don't even know personally. Congratulations on mastering the art of pointless rage. Remember, hate won’t pay your bills or bring you true satisfaction.

So, keep up the good work at the Nitwit Noise Parade. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be here, still having a laugh while you simmer in your self-righteous rage. You’re not worth the pixels on my screen.

Heeeello Anna! :3 I'm back to pester you in the inbox!

You may not have seen this, but this artist ask game... I've got questions for you!

1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 14, 15, 21, 34, 35

(ahahaha... That's a lot.... Ahaha.... Welp ....?)

But! No hurries, and I'm sorry if this eats at your precious time but I'd be happy to hear you talk more about your art! (Can never get enough tbh :3)

Hope you're doing a bit better now, Anna, please take care and you're loved!

Oh, Moon T^T

Hello, and you're right, I didn't even see this artist ask game (maybe, some time ago, so I don't even remember...), and thank you so much for thinking about me and for asking all this stuff T_T I have a lot of fun answering it, and it really distracted me from everything else going on in life since last weeks are quite difficult. But I'll be fine, and thank you for all of these questions, I appreciate you and your attention so much!

1 what medium do you use most (if applicable, what software)?

As I'm drawing now digitally, so I draw in Adobe Photoshop. I'm familiar with this software since my early teens, so it's very comfortable for me :D

When I was drawing traditionally, I primarily worked with pencils. I tried watercolour a few times, too. I have a very soft spot for oil - and I hope to develop this one day, too.

3 your favorite piece(s)?

Oh, what a question... I guess, for now, these ones:

4 piece you wish got more love?

All of them :D

I guess, these ones:

5 how would you describe your art style?

(I really want to joke and just refer to 21 question but well, let's take it seriously :D)

I guess, I can call it "cinematic poetry" - there's a very long way to go to really match the title, but this is what I aim for.

6 favorite thing to draw?

Oh, good question, Moon! As for the sketch stage, I really love to draw clothes, and when it comes to the stage of rendering - faces (primarily, eyes and hair, but I love the whole process and always try to improve my face renders skills...) and backgrounds!

8 thing you struggle to draw?

I think, when it comes to the rendering - HANDS. I think, my sketches of hands are not bad, but when I render them, oh boi, here comes the struggle. As a result, it seems fine, I suppose, but it's always a product of a lot of swearing and redrawing :D

14 whats your favorite thing about drawing?

Telling stories though different dimension. I like to combine in drawing both cinematography and literature, and it sounds a bit funny, because it's two different art directions, but still, I want to tell stories though a lot of things which combine these arts: details, emotions, lighting, and as if when you look at the art - you can hear all the vivid noises around the characters of life going one around and of characters themselves speaking, but then, as if they were caught in a moment, and then, I try to show this moment in my drawings. Or, when it's more of conceptual art, it also can tell a story, but differently - not like a frozen mundane life moment, but rather like a whole story behind it, and instead of these frozen ordinary life moments where the story is also told, here, the story told through not so evident details, starting from the pose to the colour palette itself.

I know I have a long way to go with it, but this is what I'm trying to improve and this is what I always aimed for.

15 least favorite thing about drawing?

Hm, very good question, to be honest. I thought about it for a while, since I can't really grasp if I can name such thing, but I think that it's both good and bad thing - that it's a lifetime commitment, that you should accept that you will study the whole life. From one side, it's wonderful and it's the whole fascinating journey, on the other hand - it can be really frustrating and draining not to be able to transfer your ideas from your head into the actual image, and while a lot of artists realize it, it doesn't make it easier to get disappointed sometimes. So, I would say, it's both good and bad thing, and how we look at it - depends on us :D

21 what do you think your artstyle would taste like?

I won't lie, this question sent me into a great reflection, and then I ended up questioning my art style in general, ha-ha-ha... But alright, hm, I think, croissant with orange jam? Don't ask. Just... Croissant. That's it.

34 whats something you still like from your old art?

Oh... Hm, I think from the beginning, they had great composition. I try to improve it now, of course, but I guess it was from the beginning a very great composition and "camera" shot. So this, this for sure!

35 if you had one piece of advice to give your younger artist self, what would it be?

Come, and do it, you're much stronger and braver than you think you are. It counts for many things, to be honest, and not only art, but yes, I would just hug my past self and tell myself that you're much more than you think you are.

Thank you so much, Moon, for all of it - for these questions, for your thoughts to ask me this in the first place and for your interest and support T_T It's priceless, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

P.s. I learned with this post that the post has a limited amount of images you can add... I didn't know we could add only 10 images... Woah...
