#thank you artists

[errantobsessions]

Big big fan of when artists draw Armand as this black shadowy lurking figure where you can only see his silhouette. Except!! They add his very wide glowy orange eyes staring at you. Very very good and scratches the right part of my brain, thank you

I know elves' ears don't move based on emotions like dog ears, but whenever someone draws Astarion with droopy ears to show how wet and miserable he is an angel gets its wings

@callimara and @therentyoupay: collaborate

the jelsa fandom:

[cambridge-nps]

I understand there is no need to announce my departure, especially since I have few followers and no reach but I wanted to say thank you first.

THANK YOU to the hard working, immensely skilled people who have made beautiful gif sets, art, and fics for bucktommy. I'm in awe of your creative abilities. Your talents are greatly underappreciated.

I will always be a fan of Lou and look forward to following his work, but I realize with so many people on my dash looking forward to the next episode of 911 while I am still in a state of confusion and sadness that I need to step away.

I'll never regret being a fan of bucktommy I just never thought it would hurt this much. I guess I hoped for too much.

When new art of Cassian pops up

[letothethird]

GRAAAAAA THERE'S SO MUCH LOCKED TOMB FANART ON TUMBLR AND I WANT TO GIVE EVERY SINGLE ARTIST HERE A MILLIONBAJILLION DOLLARS BUT I AM POOR AND I CANNOT AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE TIME TO FOLLOW EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I CANNOT SHOW MY SUPPORT TO EVERY SINGLE ONE. THIS IS SO FUCKED AND UNJUST. TERRIBLY SO.

[i-got-the-feels]

Bad Buddy

@taeminie 1

This quote and them and the rooftop scene for "you will never be friends"!!! Big fucking brained Ali!!

@dengswei 1

Pat's face of love and adoration accompanying as to how he loves pran with his every atom and prans face of heartbreak because he looks at him with despair. Perfect lines for them.

@daymork 1

25-21 x Bad Buddy = me shaking screaming and crying. That too a fucking baek yijin quote. The day this doesn't make me insane (it will never happen)

@snimeat 1

Something about how pat pran balance each other no matter where they go, be it whether they are happy or sad. I think the essence of that is beautifully captured with the quote and pictures you chose gei

@pranpat 1 2 3

1 I don't even need to elaborate. The set fucking begins with "we lead two different lives, just like two lines that never cross"

2 Jay, I hope you know you chose violence by combining richard siken and rooftop scene together. I hope you know what you did.

3 "who will come into the kitchen and be hungry for me?" with that expression of pat. Followed by pran saying "I always wanted to cook for someone I like" I am so so so okay

@sunsetandthemoon 1

You beautifully summarized their whole journey and that is why this is here. It's one of the sets that will always make me emotional

Only Friends

@celestial-sapphicss 1

This song describes the soul of the show. This set captures it.

@alienwlw 1 2 3

1) The words!!! With the shots you chose!! Childhood ray in first set!! And happy smiling ray daring to hope for a future with sand!!

2) this set beautifully captures how ray let's himself be used by mew. Because he thinks that's the kind of love he deserves. That's how much love he deserves. Even though he knows he can have more with sand, that is why he selfishly tried stopping sand to move on.

3) delving deeper into Boston's motivations? Yesssss. His sexual escapades as a way to feel human connection? Give me more

@spicyvampire 1

"You're coming down with me hand in unlovable hand" pleaseee Boston does not know how to define love. And the definitions he has are in conflict with the society he lives in. That's why he is alone. That's why he is hurt. Even if he owned up to his mistakes.

@gunsatthaphan 1

The shot of gifs with the words?? Hues of healing with them holding hands in bathtub? Shadows of patience and hours accompanying sands heartbreak of "ray *was* my 25th hour scene? I have said enough

@smileytharn 1

This. Them holding hands. After the initial hesitation. After ray went to sand to apologise and show how much he means to him. Sand acknowledging that and opening up more to him about music - the thing that means most to him. Amazing zey!

@raypakorn 1

A set capturing Ray's Self-destructive nature perfectly not being on the list? Not today, buddy. Not today. Today, we cry at tanies amazing brain and talent in making this set

@sollucets 1

This song and them? Especially the time ray was "confused" over his feelings for sand. Heartbreak. Never thought a bop pop song can cause this much emotional damage. Amazing job love

@icouldhyperfixatehim 1

What I love about this edit is that captures Boston's journey so well. As a friend. Their friendships fallout and reconciliation, or no reconciliation with mew. As a lover, and being left behind because you both no longer have denial as an option and have to escape the fact that you guys are too different in defining love and hence cannot be together.

@sandrayy 1

Listen this quote goes well with sandrayy. Because if anyone understands the value of Ray's tears and will die rather than see ray cry is sand.

Kinnporsche

@dingyuxi 1

This poem is for them okay? "you are too good at violence and he is too good at forgiving" with scenes you chose will always devastate me

@kinnporsche 1

A big hug and chefs kiss to you because the scenes you chose? Episode 4, Episode 5 angst and Episode 7 ending? Yesssss. They burned for each other. Only when did they give in they found solace because they burned brighter together.

@kinnsporsche 1

The scenes you chose!! Kinn giving into his attraction to Porsche and calling him his sun. Him letting go Porsche as moon when he lets him go. And the scene where he tells Porsche how special he is as stars!!!

@alienwlw 1 2 3 4

1) "I let darkness eat the light" + Vegas standing in tears after kan left after inflicting his violence!!!!!

2) holy water scene with pete telling Vegas he is very hungry and needs to be taken care of?????? The big brained energy never ending with you my friend

3) Vegas being vulnerable openly!! The way you beautifully showed his journey to this point where he confesses his insecurities to pete!!! Insane!! Talented!!

4) pete coming to terms with this side of his? The side that craves violence. The side that craves to be dominated. Amazing

@magicaldreamfox1 1

The gif of pete leaving his job to show his support to Vegas. Even when he didn't know if Vegas would survive or not!!! Brilliant BRILLIANT.

@spicyvampire 1

I AM NOT ON MAIN FAMILY'S SIDE. I AM NOT ON MINOR FAMILY'S SIDE. I AM ON YOUR SIDE = TO TO HELL WITH YOU. galaxy brained. No notes. No words. No thoughts. Just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

@khaotunqs 1

The coloring in the set made me loose it. Black and white with hints of pink? The talent?! Also the quote you chose? Attack on every direction my friend. Mercy please.

@guzhu-furen 1 2

1) a set that highlights a relationship between all the brothers? Ofc i cried. Next question.

2) the fact that even pete didn't know why he went. Until he forced to acknowledge it ofc. The quote is perfect perfect for the scene you have choosen

Between Us

@smittenskitten 1

A parallels of the "be brave for me" scene is made for me. I cry.

Last Twilight

@sandrayy 1 2

1) I have rambled about how the quote goes so well with them in tags and will do again. They both help each other find their purpose. Something they lost along the way by the course their life took. And this existential shit makes me emotional.

2) I love how simple the quote is yet because of the scenes chosen shows the initial flurry of nervousness and excitement when new to liking someone so well

@morkofday 1 2

1) The way they both met each other just days ago but already cherish each other. As individuals. Not as roles they play in each other's life. I cannot.

2) this!! you cannot tell me that when Mork held on to days chin and dismissed the job opportunity they both didn't have horny visions. You cannot. I think you showed their journey beautifully here.

Also love the oranges in both - i d k if its intentional but love that it goes with the shows name so well.

Love In The Air

@bird-inacage 1

The words just hit me whenever I see this set. Love, your writing is beautiful. The font you have used in the set amazing. The scenes you have chosen are perfect. Thank you for this.

@prapais 1

The softness and protectiveness prapai has towards sky. And how even if he isn't a violentan for nature, he wouldn't hesitate for sky. Uff.

Midnight Museum

@daymork 1

I love the composition of the images. Especially the second one. Showing his fate across universes before showing their conversation in third image? The sense of hope that I got after the feeling of futility?? Totally brings across the feelings i have towards the damn articraft.

@alexshenry 1

The coloring of purple and yellow is so fucking dreamy. And something about Kathadome and moon - a universal symbol of hope, of light in darkness??? Amazing my love Nuria

@hoppipolla 1

I am so sorry love. I adore your set because it brings out the universal truth. Time doesn't erase the pain. It's just that we learn to manage it better. Thanks to people around us. The same happened with Katha. I am so glad I found this set

My School President

@pharawee 1

Their friendship!! They will always be there for each other. Gun can be vulnerable with them without worry. Something he doesn't easily do probably cause he doesn't want to worry his mum. But all his friends encourage him to be open and vulnerable. They tell him he is okay and how just because he is strong he doesn't always have to be strong.

@chinzillas 1

Anna!! This edit is one of those forever emotional damage causing arts. It perfectly gets the slice of life, I am growing up. I aam happy but scared to grow up. I am leaving behind the me i currently know. Will I like how I grow to be? How much of it can I control? The anxiety, the home, the excitement, the dreams, the optimism, the hope and the fears we all have as young adults is so fucking beautifully felt in this edit.

Not me

@dimpledpran 1

I cannot believe I discovered this edit so late. The quote is so fucking accurate. And the scenes chosen? Especially for the second gif with tawi??? Big brained energy

@taeminie 1

The scenes you chose for how the kingdom lights shined and one day we will be remembered are PERFECT

@magicaldreamfox1 1

A black and white journey edit in interaction with their parents? Those parents who are people in power and that maintain the very system their kids are revolting against? Delicious

@morkofday 1

I am so glad I requested this set because your badassself delivered. The differences in their ideologies is shown so beautifully here. I cry.

Vice Versa

@ardentlytess 1

Whenever I see this edit, it makes me nostalgic. This is the edit I shall use when persuading my friends to watch vice versa. It captures their journey so beautifully.

@daymork 1

They fell in love with each other without knowing each other's faces. Survived travelling across universe. And had "thank you for being born so that I can love you" so no they aren't ever ending

Never Let Me Go

@shuyis 1

This quote and Palm??? Perfection. He didn't hate his mother for leaving him. Sure he was hurt ans confused but he gave her the benefit of doubt. And when he met her and heard her reason? He accepted her. He loved her. He grieved her loss. He didn't hate his father who left him when he was a boy to go a protect a boy his age. He was concerned for his father's safety and well being. Hell he didn't even hate the boy or boys family. Palm was kind in true sense of the word.

@jyuubin 1

Not tooting my horn but in one of my sets I made for nlmg I wrote a line. It was "if the choice between me and you, it's not a difficult choice at all. I'd always choose you" and I love how this set captured that. Palm didn't give up on him and Nueng even when Nueng became scared and did. He fought for them.

Moonlight Chicken

@maggiecheungs 1

This set inspired me to make my basic-ass set. Need I say more as to how much I adore this?

@jimmysea 1

Heart and li ming don't just see each other. They welcome each other. And the thing about welcoming someone is you understand everyone has their own time of coming to you. They gave each other the time required without rushing the other and the quote you chose just gets this across so well

@raypakorn 1

The damn quote. With Alan. And the scene you chose. "I am on business of loosing your interest". Yeah so okay I am.

@pharawee 1

The neon font just fits so well with the vibe of the show. Light in between darkness. Feeding people at night when people are most tired.

@taeminie 1

The quote goes so so so fucking well with heart and li ming. For heart, li ming is the first person to make accommodations for his need without showing him pity. His gratitude, amazement and love for li ming just come across so well.

The Eclipse

@youdontloveme-yet 1 2 3

The day I am not wrecked over by these 3 sets you made for eclipse is the day you can consider sun has risen from west. What were you thinking while making these? "chasing after echoes" for akk???? "there are only remnants left of you" for Ayan??????

@morkofday 1

The sense of home they give for each other. Akk can keep his fears of inadequacy at rest when with Ayan because Ayan accepts and cherishes him as he is. Ayan can take off his mask of strength off and show his grief and sadness because akk will be there to support him.

To Sir, With Love

@shyishsarawat 1

Listen for a low-heat soap opera? These dudes fucked a lot through their eyes. And when they touched? Yeah that was hotter than any kiss. And i think the quote perfectly captures the tension, devotion, adoration and love they share for each other

@tinnchan 1

Take me to church?????? With to sir with love??? Nads I wish I could say more but my brain just goes AHHHH THIS SONG IS THEM THEY ARE READY TO DIE FOR EACH OTHER THEY ARE EACH OTHER'S RELIGION THEY WORSHIP THEIR LOVE. THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS THEIR SHRINE.

Things to note

These include edits that I found in 2023.

These include edits that gave me the feels.

Thank you for your art. They make the experience of watching the show all the more fun. It helps in appreciating the characters. It helps me see them in new light.

Looking forward to see more of art from amazing artists on here.

To people I didn't tag - tumblr tagging limit sucks. Your art is beautiful simply because it's made. You made it with a feeling and that in itself is beautiful.

Also, the tag is #becauseigtf in case yall wanna tag me in future :)

[daisymaycries]

*sighs* What a year it's been, Jellybeans. It has actually been one of the hardest years of my life, full of emotionally taxing family crises, and the stresses of being a full-time college student after a nearly three year hiatus from school on top of pre-existing struggles with anxiety.

And yet it has also been one of the best years ever, as I am closer to my friends than I've ever been and their love is actually so life-giving. I have met multiple long-distance friends in person for the first time this year. One of them introduced me to Lackadaisy during one of the most stressful periods of this year, and it has given me hours of joy and distraction. I have reconnected with old friends and made new ones, and I have been feeling more artistically inspired than I have in years.

And so thank you to my wonderful friends, to the Jellybeans who I do so enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for this webcomic with, and to all artists, writers, and creators who have helped to make this year not only bearable but also a good time, both for myself and for everyone who takes comfort in art and story.

May all your winter holidays be filled with peace, light, and joy this season! 🎄

Artist Appreciation for my favorite artists because you deserve to hear it.

I’ll probably write another artist appreciation post some other time for my other favorite artists that I didn’t get to mention here but this took along time and my food is getting cold 😭😭

@yuan-ajian - Yuan, I deeply adore your art. Ever since my eyes laid upon it, I’ve really fallen in love with it. Your way of constructing different emotions, symbolism, and over all just aesthetics/lay out is absolutely stunning. I adore your art style and much more. The way you manage to mix colors so perfectly into your pieces absolutely amazing me every time. I don’t only mean your French Revolution art. Your ballet art is absolutely captivating and breath taking. Your art always makes me loose my breath with how absolutely beautiful it is. Absolute pure ambrosia. I admire the talent you have for making art so absolutely beautiful. I really have no other words to describe it but it’s really amazing. I hope your art ends up in a museum because it truly is absolutely stunning.

For some reason, your art reminds me of yogurt. I don’t know why, but it does. I think it’s because your art is so satisfying on the eyes and the colors aren’t harsh, they’re mixed well and really bring out the beauty of your drawings. I love your art style, it’s so expressive and smooth. Yuan, I really cannot pick a single piece of yours as my favorite because they all are and your newest piece always consistently becomes my new favorite.

I wrote about my love and appreciation for your art in a journal for my English class, I’m so actually so in love with it. Tear jerking with how absolutely beautiful and stunning your art is. I have my notifications on for when you post so I don’t miss a single piece of art.

@plrle - Plrle, the first time I saw your art I was shocked and amazed. Your art style is so unique and I love it so much. It reminds me of Tim Burton. I like the dynamic poses you do that remind me of those abstract, simple, and thought-provoking paintings/drawings you see in art museums. So simplistic and yet so telling and expressive at the same time. Your art is so balanced, from the lines to the hatch shading (it’s been a while since I’ve been in an art class, sorry if that’s not what the shading is called) and just the overall use of lines. It’s such an amazing and unique way of using something so simple to use it for advantage and create something so absolutely amazing and intriguing to look at. I’m absolutely blown away every time. I love the way you draw. I never, in my many years of being on the internet, seen such an AMAZING and unique, absolutely breath taking style. I’m actually so in love with it.

One of my favorite drawings of yours is your BonBonaparte summer vacation work because it’s so captivating and just so beautiful. I love the use of lines and the polkadot background which just brings out your style even more. The way you draw Robespierre really scratches my brain, satisfyingly. Especially here.

When I think of your art, I immediately, almost immediately, picture these works of yours. Especially that Saint-Just one. Oh my god, it lives in my mind 24/7 I’m absolutely smitten with it. It’s so beautiful I want it imprinted into my eyeballs permanently. I’m so glad you’re my mutual.

@porridgeart - PORRIDGE! I love, I absolutely love your art style. I want to slurp it up with a straw. It reminds me that coffee jelly dessert. You’re so expressive in your art and I love the use to softer colors to really counter the characteristics of people you draw. I love how your art can have minimal detail in some pieces but be so captivating on the eyes, and when you have many details (such as your Jennifer’s Body: Robespierre & Desmoulins piece) it brings out and accompanies the rest of the drawing/details really well.

I love how your fully colored art always seems to have some sort of texture to it (example of what I mean) and even your sketches, which are so clean cut and just really jump out of the canvass at you. I love how round your art is. Not many artists can successfully achieve such success at a round art style that manages to cut through the paper and make you only see the art, not the paper around it too; almost as if the art is indented into the canvas, giving it that pop.

@kindercelery - Oh my god. Your art is so satisfying on the eyes. It’s so round and curvy which makes your sketches so gummy-like. (Weird description I know but I felt like if I squished or bounced your art it would pop back up.)

Not only that, but your ability to show intimidation (I.e. your Robespierre portrait and Ennard at the glass window) is so amazing. I love it so much. And your oc Dottie, I love them so much. I want to squeeze them. Your art has this ability to catch one’s attention and look at every detail on the canvas. Your use of color, amazing. Absolutely amazing. I love how your art is colored. Especially that colored sketch of Ennard oh my god, it scratches my eyeballs an brain perfectly.

@potatosonnet / @earthly-apples - I really have no words. Your colors, your style, your details, your symbolism, your poses, the texture within/on your art, just your overall ability. I’m blown away. I’m shocked. Every time, you leave me speechless.

Just, absolutely, Jesus. Your use of colors is so beautiful, amazing, breath taking. And your art style? It’s so beautiful. The ability to be so accurate in such an artistic style is actually so insane. I’m unable to find the words to properly express how absolutely stunning it is. I cannot find the words. I really wish I could write more, tell you how amazing your art style is but genuinely, I am unable to describe it in words.

Almost immediately when I think of your account, I think of these works and their absolute insane beauty and creativity. A. B. C. D.

I love you all (/p) and I genuinely, genuinely cannot get enough of all of your guys art. Please don’t ever even think for a second to give up on your work because you all have some crazy talent and abilities. Don’t stop drawing. Don’t give up. I’m so glad you all decided to let your talent be shared with the world because you all are absolutely amazing, breath taking.

If I have a nickel for everytime there's a fanart about Sozin carrying Roku in a bridal style, I would have four nickels.

There's so many amazing Royai art here lately, and even though I don't know what made all these artists decide to give love to them, I'm so, so grateful about it!

Thank you people for loving Roy and Riza and making art of them!

[tapetum-lucidumb]

Question for writers/artists...

...which I guess is most of you since this is Tumblr: Has anyone else encountered a piece of media that just...completely, utterly, and permanently transformed your relationship to creativity?

I QUIT writing. It was EASY to quit writing. I felt such a sense of release at being able to redefine who I am and who I want to be in life. The only thing approaching a negative emotion–to say nothing of actual regret–was faint surprise at how easy it was to abandon a 20+ year identity marker. I EVEN FOUND A SECOND CALLING THAT I LOVED–AND STILL LOVE!!!!–EVEN MORE THAN I EVER LOVED WRITING.

But then. But then! There's this fun horny video game everyone's talking about. Me being me, I can't hear about a hot vampire twink without googling him. Eh, he's doesn't seem that hot, not really my type. But I am curious about the hype, so maybe I'll watch one more YouTube video...okay maybe another...

Well shit, this is actually extremely well-written.

Well shit, this game is pushing the boundaries of narrative in a way no other medium can.

WELL SHIT, TURNS OUT HYPERFIXATIONS CAN LAST FOR MORE THAN THREE WEEKS

WELL SHIT, I AM LYING NEXT TO MY HUSBAND TRYING TO HIDE THE TEARS I AM SHEDDING OVER A GAME I HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED YET

WELL SHIT, THIS LITERALLY, ACTUALLY MADE ME HAVE AN EPIPHANY AND REALIZE THE MEANING OF ART

ALSO THERE IS A CAT-OWNING NERDY BOY IN ADDITION TO THE EMO BOY, WHICH IS AGAINST THE RULES BECAUSE NOTHING SHOULD EVER BE THIS POWERFUL

Like. Just.

Friends, I was so convinced I'd quit. I got deep into it too! Former professional editor here. Because of my privilege, I had more knowledge and experience of the publishing world than 99% of people my age, and I still turned my back. And even though I'm never going back to tradpub because obviously, even though I still think I'm an athlete instead of an artist at my core, even though I'm not even trying to be *good* at it...

Jesus fuck, I'm writing again.

There's plenty of media I've loved. I was a writer–how could there not be? The Last of Us, Midnight Burger, and Our Flag Means Death brought me so much comfort and joy. And that is more than enough. But never before has a piece of fiction made a concrete, tangible impact in what I do every day and how I live my life. That's never been what I wanted or expected art to do. Art is meaningless. It can comfort you, but it doesn't have to "make a difference" to have value.

And yet.

Larian Studios, how dare you create something so impossibly beautiful. You will never know I exist. But for this one internet stranger, you've changed everything.
