#tarot cards are actually great inspo

[1angeleveryday-ish]

I hope you feel better soon! For your consideration, when you feel like drawing again—Major Arcana angels?

Sweating* heh hey its another super old ask i never answered

*slides this under your door*

[callmegaith]

what inspires your art? I mean art style and ideas. I noticed a lot of your art looks like tarot cards, is there a reason behind it? And do you have any recommendations for someone trying to make more stylized art?

Thank you

A real art related ask??? On my blog???? You're in the wrong place, my dude. We only shitpost gayly here.

/j

Inspo:

Fr tho music is a huuuuge inspiration to me. I have a David playlist I listen to when I'm drawing that just fills my head with 700 ideas per second. I'm thinking of actually doing something where people anonymously send me a number from 1 to 84 (# of songs I have on the playlist currently) and whatever number is chosen, I have to draw something based on the song that correlates with the number.

Biggest inspo has been this song lately:

Probably my fav song to make Jackalope art to.

Aside from that, what inspired my art style was "I like how rusty lake draws noses" mixed in with other cartoony styles that I like. I like shapes, so my style is very shape focused. I assign general traits to the shapes like circle is friendly, square is tough, etc.

So when I design a character or stylize a character, it's mostly about personality. Their shapes reflect who they are. Does that make sense?

I also really like religious imagery and metaphors/symbolism/imagery and would prefer to make my art vague over just outright saying what the drawing is meant to be. Ya know?

Tarot cards:

if I had a cent for every time someone told me that I'd buy myself dinner. I know next to nothing about tarot cards 😭 the reason my art looks the way it does is again, shapes. I like having shape centered backgrounds (ex: sharp triangle mountains. Circles like halos around character heads, etc...)

Here's a recent good example I did for a commission

Symmetrical shapes and lines fit with what I do for my art style. It just looks nice to me. But I'm glad it gives my art that sorta "tarot" aesthetic.

Recommendations:

YES! Highly HIGHLY recommend 3Dtotal publishing "creating stylized characters" books. They helped me so much and they're wonderful, easy to follow, with varied examples

3Dtotal publishing in general have a great selection of art books that I think anyone looking to get better at art should check out. Especially stylized art!

Hi!!!!

If it is not too much to ask, could I perhaps participate in your mood board game >< ?

My question is what will be my future profession or more specifically, what is it centered around?

Also! Here are the pictures of what I think your future home will be like! (Hope you like it!!) :)

I completely understand if you got too many asks or if you are busy! If that is the case, feel free to ignore my request!

Have a good day! 🌞✨

Hii~, of course you can participate! <3

Oh wow, you’re actually the one who got the closest to my dream apartment!! There are a bunch of pictures you selected that are in my “apartment inspo” board on Pinterest haha. Great job!

Your moodboard:

Are you very young? (As in, a teenager). Because I felt like there’s years left of school before you’ll land a permanent job. I got this student vibe from you for some reason. Right away, I saw computers, and then I started seeing books and papers all over the place haha. I got a lot of very opposite jobs when trying to figure out what you’ll do. Some of the careers I heard were: engineer, IT specialist, HR, secretary, coder, accountant/working in finance, designer, musician, dietitian, lawyer, architect, judge, writer, script writer, director, doctor, vet. Yeah…it’s really a lot and all over the place. I’m really sorry that I can’t point you specifically towards one job. I would very likely need to use my tarot cards to slim down the choices.

I hope you had fun doing the reading nonetheless, and I wish you the best at whatever you’ll choose to pursue. It felt like you’ll do really great at your job, so go after what you want fearlessly!

Your vibe is so cute. Thank you for participating, and for being so sweet <333. Have a great day!

[child-of-the-nights]

Hello! I've had this idea stuck in my head forever, but I can't like put it to words, so maybe you could help me out for ✨day dreaming inspo✨ but a Catra x Witch reader? I low-key just imagine her making little protection charms for Catra, and being a super supportive girlfriend, but that's all I got. Lol So, yeah! Whether you feel like doing this request or not, I hope you have a great day wherever you are! <3

Alright! I love this idea! I’ll see what I can do! ^^

A/N: I thought about making this into a modern au but decided against it since you didn’t specify if that’s what you wanted. This takes place after the whole thing with Horde Prime, so like Catra is redeemed. 

As we all know, Catra’s experience with magic wasn’t so pleasant so far. Magic was used against her in her childhood and the Horde raised kids to fight against magic. So she mostly thinks that magic isn’t really good. Or well, it’s just a waste of time. 

When she first found out about your interest, she wasn’t fond of it. Not because she didn’t like you but mostly because of her previous experiences. 

She leaves you alone when you do your “magic things, or whatever” and always tries to not be around your tools. But she knows it’s too obvious she doesn’t like it, so she makes it up to you by buying (or “borrowing”) stuff for your practice. She even goes as far as asking Glimmer for help with buying. 

So overall she supports you from afar. 

If you like kitchen witchery, she’s kind of excited to help you (because she can eat most of it afterwards). Of course, only after you explain that no, you won’t poison the food, you’re just baking/cooking with good intentions (and some magical herbs). 

Catra doesn’t believe in divination, until your tarot cards call her out on something. Next thing you know, she starts arguing with your deck. Afterwards she angrily looks at you and advises you not to tell anyone what just happened. 

When she truly starts believing all this stuff is when she has a nightmare and you give her a charm that scares them off. Ever since that was under her pillow, she hasn't had a single nightmare. So she really started to question whether or not this magic you believe in works or not. 

Then one day you just come up to her and put a necklace in her hands. She looks at you questioningly and you explain that it’s a protection charm that you made for her. She starts wearing it and when someone asks what it is, she proudly tells them you made it for her. 

After the charms actually help her, she’s a little more willing to be close to you while you do your “magic stuff”. 

She even asks you questions about it. Like what does that powder do? Why are you lighting so many candles? Do you want to burn the house down? Why does this incense smell like someone just farted? 

Okay, she does ask more serious questions though. Mostly when you’re doing a ritual. 

When she feels like doing so, she sits down to meditate with you. Since she needs to work on herself, this is a good way to calm herself down when she gets angry. This is Catra we’re talking about, but she does get a little more relaxed after meditating and drinking tea with you. 

When you’re learning from a book, she’s usually either in your lap trying to sleep or somewhere near you so she can bother you. Yeah sure, she’s very complex and all, but she’s still a cat. And she loves bothering people. It’s her hobby. 

She’s very confused when you come home and start taking out crystals or little stones from your pockets. Catra doesn’t understand why you like them so much but when she takes walks in the forest and goes by a river, she often finds crystals, so she brings them home to you. It’s her way of saying “I care about you and your interests”.

If you’re stuck with a spell or simply just don’t understand what you did wrong, she brings you to Glimmer and Micah so they can help you. It might be overwhelming at first but they’re really kind and help you without question. 

If you don’t go to Mystacor to learn magic, she asks if you want to because she can talk to some people to let you in. 

If you go to Mystacor, then she’ll visit you often since she has pretty bad abandonment issues and wants to be close to you most of the time.

Melog often stays by your side when you’re doing magic though. It likes seeing how different your planet’s magic is from it’s. Since it’s planet was destroyed because the planet had magic, Melog finds comfort in watching you do magic. If it can help you somehow it tries it’s best. 

Even though Catra hates water, she really appreciates when you make her a bath full of herbs that help with all sorts of things. It really calms her down. 

I hope this is what you wanted! ^^

My Pokemon TCG Divination Deck w/expl.

Bored as shit and wanted to stretch my symbology muscles. Here’s what I’ve got, with explanations.

Feel free to take inspo.

It’s listed alphabetically. I used my intuition, mixed with the canonical facts of the certain Pokemon, as well as the card art & gameplay mechanic. Cards meanings can be dependent on other cards in the same reading.

Subject to change and alteration.

A lot of these come from similar packs, because my offline friend bought me a “Build & Battle” Celestial Storm set, which I liked a lot of the art from. He also got me one of those random resell packs, with the various cards.

This has been in the works since August 19th, 2022. The most recent update was September 13th, 2022.

Added sleeves August 21st, 2022. Easier to shuffle. Better readings. Cards are protected.

-

Bill’s Maintenance - Trainer - Supporter Celestial Storm, 126/128, Uncommon

This card represents work that needs to be done.

Cinccino Crimson Invasion, 86/111, Uncommon

This card represents luxury, rest, and peace.

Clamperl Celestial Storm, 41/168, Common

This card represents something inside of the person or situation. Much like Clamperl makes pearls that are hidden behind it’s tough shell, whatever or whoever is being discussed has something good hidden inside.

Dusclops Burning Shadows, 52/147, Uncommon

This is one of my favorite cards in the entire TCG ever.

It’s the equivalent of the Fool from Tarot. New beginnings, curiosity, the start of a journey, searching for purpose.

Luvdisc Great Encounters, 77/106, Common, Added Aug 30 2022

This card represents love, typically romantic.

Machop Guardians Rising, 63/145, Common

This card represents strength, not unlike it’s Tarot counterpart. Machop is the basic stage, not as strong as Machoke or Machamp, but he’s just as determined as his future evolutions.

The art depicts him chopping away from an explosion. I think this represents victory despite adversity, or defeat / triumph over a problem in one’s life.

The card’s only move is “Dynamic Chop”, which I think represents a strategic but still headstrong way forward.

Mawile Celestial Storm, 91/168, Uncommon

Based on the yokai futakuchi-onna, Mawile represents a person or situation that appears one way, but in actuality is completely opposite. It represents someone who is two-faced, or a bad deal or situation.

Metapod Burning Shadows, 2/147, Uncommon

This card is similar to the Hermit from Tarot. It symbolizes a need for patience, introspection, and thought.

Misdreavus Legendary Treasures, 57/113, Common

I love the card art on this one. Multiple Misdreavus singing a cursed song.

I took this card to mean anxieties and fears that seem worse than they are. All bark and no (or not as bad) bite.

Nosepass Guardians Rising, 69/145, Common

This card represents the way forward. Nosepass always point north, without fail. This card means that the way forward is known, direct, or expected.

Plusle Celestial Storm, 53/268, Uncommon

The card’s art has both Plusle and it’s counterpart Minun, which I interpret as a card of balance.

Ralts BREAKthrough, 68/162, Common

This card represents children or the inner child.

Seedot Flashfire, 5/106, Common, Added Aug 21 2022

Seedot represents potential, growth, the beginning of something.

Skiddo BREAKthrough, 16/162, Common, Added Aug 30 2022

Represents travel, movement.

Sneasel Ultra Prism, 73/156, Common

This card can be read two ways:

You need to be sneaky and cunning

Someone is being sneaky and cunning towards you

The text at the bottom talks about how “breeders consider it a scourge and will drive it away or eradicate it”, which I think plays into the second reading.

Spiritomb Ultra Prism, 53/156, Uncommon

This is the equivalent of the Tower from Tarot. It represents something bad or meddlesome.

It could also represent a struggle to move on from the past, especially trauma or guilt. Spiritomb are evil spirits that have been bound to an odd keystone, so your trauma, guilt, or pain might be bound to you.

Underground Expedition - Trainer - Supporter Celestial Storm, 150/168, Uncommon

This card represents something unseen, something deep inside, or something under the surface. It tells you to look closer, or reevaluate things.

Zubat Generations, 30/83, Common

Zubat has the (not quite warranted) reputation of being an “annoying” Pokemon, and that’s what I took inspiration from here.

This card represents a constant annoyance, a frequent issue that keeps rearing it’s ugly head.

-

Wanted: Smeargle (creativity), Meowth/etc (finances), Shedinja (change), Yamask (Identity)

Thanks for reading. Lemme know what you think.

Hi :) I discovered one of your gif sets a few minutes ago - the one with the greek goddesses for the awae ladies - and now I‘m curious about why you used these three characteristics for them & where you found them (the Internet isn’t very helpful). Not to mention these sets are great inspo for character studies 🥰 (love the one with the tarot cards)

Hi!

One of my close friends ( @parkersedith) is a major mythology nerd, so she actually provided me with the characteristics for the Greek Goddesses set!

These Healing Crystal Jewelry Retailers Wish to Help You Rock Crystals Each Day

Healing crystals aren’t just decor in your home highlights (e.g. agate coasters) or Instagram nail artwork #inspo. Somewhat, to truly enlist their abilities wherever, every time, consider actually using some metaphysical minerals or gemstones by means of some super-pretty expensive jewelry. (If you’re in need of crystal 101, read this information which matches gemstones for your astrological signal.) Besides this eases the requirement to bring the unique rocks around along within a pouch (or perhaps your bra), additionally, it offers your thing a numinous feel for an effortlessly amazing but totally higher-vibe seem.

Furthermore, wearing healing crystals against or near to the chakra it may initialize can improve their energies, leading them to be a lot more highly effective, based on some woo-woo specialists. By way of example, an increased quartz necklace that is placed against your breastbone can help strengthen and mend the center chakra.

But, obviously, you can use your chosen rocks anyplace. Like at the moment, I have got an arm party loaded with jade, citrine, clear quartz, amethyst, moonstone, and rose quartz—because every one of these is my, go-to healing crystals. Skim through these extraordinary creative designers for sections that line up with your finances and your chakras, way too.

 Under, 7 expensive healing crystal jewelry retailers to find your chosen high-vibe pieces.

1. Jemma Sands

Structured out of La, designer brand Jemma Sands stocks and shares her namesake precious jewelry shop with many different beaded bracelets and evil-eye talismans, in addition to beads and stones that array in substance from wooden to diamond with pieces both fragile or full-on statement. Sands also mixes her own natural oils and candles in their “Alchemy” e-tail area and helps to create curated bins (not unlike these membership ones). Everyone features a sizeable slice of universally healing clear quartz, white-colored howlite mala beads to aid in meditating, a crystal bracelet of choice (right now, Sands has increased quartz, amazonite, and moonstone iterations offered), along with a supporting, traveling-size candlestick that’s fragrant with aligning natural oils.

 2. Alex and Ani

Made with the underlying concept of power, anything from jewelers Alex and Ani aim to talk about intelligence and beneficial electricity, plus numerous purchases have another feel-good level in the form of charity contributions, as well. What’s particularly great concerning the brand name, even though, is the fact that meaning each item is carefully revealed with the covered explanatory put that happens to appearance pretty great pinned on to your eyesight table.

 3. Power Muse

Consider this retail outlet the unofficial Costco of online healing crystal jewelry merchants. The website exhibits countless parts for individuals, along with a selection of frequent and exceptional stones (unprocessed and tumbled), in addition, a selection of shiny gemstones handpicked through the owners from your recognized and current Tucson Gem Show. The knowledgable duo behind the e-tailer, Heather Askinoise, and Timmi Jandro, also recently penned a magazine, Crystal Muse, loaded with rituals, explanations, smudging tricks, and bath recipes—that transpires with look fantastic as design in a great-vibe house, way too.

 4. Anna Michielan

An avid meditator and healing crystal collector, Michielan gives a number of pieces—including more uncommon discoveries like anklets and belts—along with meditation malas, wedding rings, beaded bracelets, pendants, and the like. It is possible to store by one or all the seven chakras (which can be particularly valuable if you’re pondering any are blocked), and even though charges are somewhat steep, everything’s palm-privileged and crafted by Michielan herself, which means you know there’s been some significant TLC behind the curtain.

 5. Jacquie Aiche

Great crystal jewelry hobbyists and celebs are becoming obsessed with Jacquie Aiche’s spiritually motivated parts, using a devoted “JA Tribe” segment onsite showcasing the loves of Blake Vibrant, Selena Gomez, and yes, even Kylie Jenner, using her styles. The expensive parts are edgy but amazing. Think precious stone abdomen chains, sapphire-encrusted Hamsa hand or wicked vision single stud earrings, and faith-transcending amulets (a tiny trinket meant to offer the beholder defense) in the BlessLev series, which will come including an appreciation checklist to the proprietor to help keep accessible.

 6. Crystal Cactus

Although wellness “it girl” Audrey Kitching’s online-only retailer carries a litany of metaphysical products, together with a number of smudge sticks, tarot credit card decks, and blossom essences, her handcrafted crystal jewelry is arguably one of the most irresistible of these all. All her pieces are one of a kind, as no two stones are identical, and each and everyone has an unmistakable, property-manufactured top quality that’ll abandon every person asking the place you obtained that pink agate Aphrodite diamond necklace or this bad-vibes-banishing design, created from much less-commonly-seen rainbow tourmaline.

 7. Gorjana

Even though this design jewelry line is predominantly noted for its skinny, delicate stacks and tiers of pendants, bands, and charms, its Energy Gemstone collection is perfect for channeling your inside goddess. Based on the manufacturer, “each gemstone item symbolizes that greater that means, that further component of on your own, whether it is a struggle you’re going through or possibly a target you have, it’s the additional boost of potential you need to allow you to get by your day time.” Prices are cost-effective, with personal things generally priced at under $100.

 Never realize how to start with healing crystals? Try one of those woo-woo membership boxes or learn to detox the electricity at your residence using them.

(Gonna update this post with more stuff in between writing sprints and work sprints)

(Starting in the easiest place first)

3 expanded - fanart and fangraphics: I used to make fannish graphics and edits and some fanart a zillion years ago (heheh, 2007-2013). Those old pieces bring back such peaceful memories of lazy late afternoon tea and photoshop. Joy. I keep promising to make more fannish visuals, especially fanart and then ... *shrug* ... I never get around to it. And then I’ll say “well, this time I really mean it” or “dammit, I gotta do it because it is a great way to boost my digital graphics and digital painting skills” Note: I actual Art(tm) in the sense that I have had works in art shows and competitions, so it’s not like I lack the basic skills needed to get going with fannish prompts. But, all of my “actual” Art(tm) used traditional materials. I am currently in a massive art-style transition and I also really do need to buckle down and go digital.......... and fanart + fangraphics are a GREAT PLACE to just randomly flail and iteratively try out new things that repeatedly fail their way towards greater success. Upward failure is how learning occurs, and this is me talking myself into doing this as not just a worthwhile, relaxing (omg so relaxing!) hobby but also as actual-for-real art-muscle-building so it makes the time spent a partial investment, all because my clock mocks me and there isn’t enough time for everything I want to do. Assuming I actually finally do this, I’ll create a sideblog entirely for art but will rebagel here. I’ll probably start off with a couple of challenges like “paint 20 portraits” and/or “make 20 graphics sets for these 20 prompts” or something like that.

The nice motivating thing is that all of my fandoms (including fandoms that might not be obvious from the contents of this blog) provide OCEANS of material for graphic/visual design fun via edits, graphics, moodboards, etc.; for drawing and painting character portraits and scenes; for recostuming-AU challenges; for tarot card themed illustrations, etc etc etc. I also have a harddrive worth of screencaps from various games (mostly bioware, but not entirely). In other words: NO LACK OF INSPO and tons of material to fannishly repurpose, and that solves a lot of problems because all of the material is right there, waiting for me to do something with it.

Also: long winter months setting in. Gotta keep myself busy with things that just make time fly in a good way. For some reason, photoshop has a magical effect on me. I can photoshop for hours in a blissful state of flow. Would also like to learn how to make simple animations. I know the general manner of how to make them. Just need to DO THE WORK and turn far too much theoretical head-knowledge into hours of hand-cramping practice.

Potential fandoms for art and graphics inspo: every final fantasy ever plus some older squaresoft PS1 games, every ghibli movie ever, dragon age, the persona series, good omens, lucifer [*snerk* my awesome guiltly pleasure, oh how I <3 it so much], endeavor, the witcher, pacific rim, various (arty) movies from the 90s-00s, various anime/manga (mostly from the 90s-00s, some potentially more recent).

And: to anyone who has ever left me a fanart prompt over the past 5 years, yes, I still have your prompt tucked away in a safe place. haven’t forgotten any of them. Someday belated surprises may occur?!

Have been:

1. Slowly going through some of my old fanfic WIPs to see what was there and what I might want to do with them.

2. (Too slowly) making a plan to tackle my primary fanfic WIP - FF7 disaster!Vincent with Lucrecia and Yuffie and Hojo and Grimoire and Veld and more (Even the littlest monsters cast shadows long and tall)

3. Thinking about fanart and fan graphics projects across multiple fandoms.

4. Poking a stick at the thedas termite mound (and my various universes in there and a hard drive full of screen caps.)

5. Potentially streamlining the thematic nature of my tumblr blog and side blogs- keeping content more topic/theme specific, separated into sideblogs, with my main blog (this one) limited to fandom reblogs (my stuff, other ppl’s stuff). Right now my main blog is very much a public bookmark tool for myself.

Curious what is of interest to those who follow along here? Or things that you were waiting to me to finish from long ago (no promises- but I am curious).

Blog Ideas

Hey guys!

So I’m finally done with the bulk of my undergrad, with only one semester left that should be relatively easy academically (financially is another matter entirely). I absolutely LOVE working on this blog and I have some great ideas for its future. I would really, really appreciate if you guys could read through this and let me know what you think! My goals going forward are to be more consistent with my content timing, provide more original content, and do more for the geology/paleo side of this blog.

1. Regarding Daily Tarot Readings -These are so much fun and I can’t wait to get my new deck in June/July. I’ll likely be studying and working on it through July, so expect posts from that in August or late July at the earliest. The way I’ve done these so far is to actually draw the card every day and write the analysis of it that same day. Unfortunately, this tends to result in some random timing. I’m considering drawing cards in advance and having them all scheduled for a more consistent time (like 8am EST). I’m not sure how I feel about this though, so I’m going to give it some thought before deciding.

2. Daily Poetry -will continue as it has. The timing of this will likely continue to be random, because the goal is to actually write a new poem every day and not just post one.

3. Fossil of the week? I have a really cool fossil playing card deck and it would be awesome to experiment more with it. I’m thinking of doing a random fossil every week and posting whatever I can find with that fossil throughout the following days.

4. Regarding Misc. blog content -I consider this blog as having two main facets: OC and reblogged content. Reblogged content will always outnumber OC, and it’s a little random now. I want to streamline this, but that is difficult because this also acts as my personal blog. Most likely I will continue with the forest/mountains/flowers/nature themes, as well as cryptid and folklore information, and important political posts (particularly regarding racism and privilege, as I feel it’s something we white environmentalists tend to overlook and shit is fucked). I’m going to try to post more geology and paleo content, but there just isn’t as much as the other stuff! The new tags will likely be as follows: (;nature, ;politics, ;folklore, ;geo, ;paleo, ;inspo (for writing) ) as well as whatever other nonsense I tag them as.

5. Readings and Crafts -as I alluded to above, I will be needing money very desperately next semester. Please consider purchasing readings from me, or supporting me at ko-fi. I also make earrings and clay critters, which I’ll be posting pictures of from time to time, and I’m totally up for earring purchases and critter commissions.

6. More writing -this is more of a stretch goal because time, but I’d love to write more OC content, particularly creepy flash fiction. It should fit in nicely with the overall themes of folklore and history I have going on here, but whether I can actually write OC stories in addition to my lovely @shift-shaping blog remains to be seen lol.

THANK YOU FOR READING I LOVE YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!
