It's so funny that sometimes as an artist i see an artwork and i go "I absolutely fucking hate this thing" even if everyone absolutely loves it
which in turn means that the artist sucseeded
because art is about expression and reaction
so me feeling nothing but rage for a piece of art is like a good thing
If people hate your artwork - you made it as an artist (congrats) - you got a reaction out of them. And my message to you - make them hate if even more. like i don't want to only make them dislike your work, make them loathe it
If someone says some detail sucks? Embrace it, make a whole series featuring it, rub it like salt on a wound - make it painful to look at. and fall in love with doing that
#and don't be a people pleaser and change your art to suit everyone#that's not what art is about#haters gonna hate#like the one artist that reminded me of this - there's nothing they can do for me to start liking their work#i hate it and that's is - no changing my mind#also if you got a strong negative reaction about your art#believe me there are people who love and adore your work#and think it's the pinnacle of art#honestly become unbearable for haters#of course#death threats and shit are bad and they should know better than to do that#negativity like that should be kept to yourself mostly#the point is#people are not gonna like you and it's okay#just block and move on with your day#keep making art#art#art ramble#art rambles#reaction#what is art

Expertise can't help you here.
#dungeon meshi#kabru#laios touden#falin touden#Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have!#I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play.#I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks.#Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere.#Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios.#The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*.#This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those.#Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human.#Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her.#She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist.#The damsel was the dragon all along!#...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

I love how Gerald was trying to keep Shadow from spoiling anything about the future meanwhile literally everything Shadow says and does around Maria is the biggest death flag ever
#in fairness i’m sure both past robotniks just assumed her illness would be what killed her h a#sxsg#sxsg spoilers#sonic x shadow generations#shadow the hedgehog#maria robotnik#ark siblings#sonic#comic#my art#doodles#so this was pretty much entirely done 24 hours ago#but ironically was distracted from posting earlier by playing sxsg#and then watching snapcube play it cause her delight is addicting#i’m missing 2 chests and 2 bolts and I wanna see if I can pull it off without a guide haha#anyways now I’m thinking about the fact that maria and gerald probably went back to their time assuming maria would die of her sickness#and how that would change their respective behaviors#i bet gerald would be holding out that maria would still live a bit longer#just cause shadow inadvertently revealed he’s from at least 50 years in the future due to having met black doom before#(which rewatching cutscenes to remember this quote he Did try to play off a little bit with some sort of#‘oh what do you think the alien squid meant by ’this time i’ll beat you’ that’s so crazy’ comment)#so hey maybe it wasn’t a perfect cure but she managed to live another 10-20 years at least?#all the more reason to press harder surely!#meanwhile maria is coming to terms with her mortality at age 14 or whatever she is#frankly I bet she came to terms with it long ago the way she seems to be written#okay back to snapcube

In my heart, Ford once went to an ice dimension and got Really Good at ice skating, and now he's absolutely insufferable about it.
#I think Ford has a bunch of random skills & everytime one comes up he has the most ridiculous yet completely true story to go along with it#in this case it involves picking a lock with his skates while scaled half way up a glacier. (he needed something for the gun dw about it)#I also think Stan would also be good re the 'Stan's Roller Skating in short shorts' lines from Dreamscapers#The difference being that Stan isn't willing to risk breaking his back for it. Unlike Ford who is already mid backflip#I know what ice skates actually look like btw. I know the blade is inaccurate. I promise. I know 🙏#Gravity Falls#Stanford Pines#Ford Pines#Grunkle#Grunkle Ford#Fan art#fanart#artists on tumblr#my art

everyone sh. shutd up im cooking smthn
#genshin impact#venti#what am i cooking?? no idea#oh this isnt canon? dont care leave me alone#i remember thinking years ago how badass it would be to have to fight all the archons in reverse order once u get to celestia#like. not that they want to. but celestia or the heavenly principles control them not thru the gnosis but thru their thrones#dont. dont think about it too much i do NOT have enough brains to keep up with accurate lore details#i just want to see venti having lied about being the 'weakest' archon. that bitch has a fucking church theres no way. also gap moe is hhh#fitting to have your first major ally end up being a final-ish boss fight#zilly art
