Lava’s Art Masterpost

Hey, all! Welcome to my art masterpost! I have no idea if this is a thing that is done typically for art, but oh well, I like organizing things, so here we are! What you’ll find here is mostly Dragon Age, with a few non-DA pieces in there, and there’s a range of styles I like to use, depending on my mood. But a lot of what you’ll see will most likely combine lineart with some other form of coloring/shading.

Feel free to browse at your leisure, and I hope anyone who stumbles upon this enjoys what they find! :D And thank you to anyone who sees this and likes, or reblogs, or even just stops by to peruse a bit!

All that said, away we go!

Digital Portraits:

1. Portrait of Nameless Woman, 2020 - This one is just an experiment with a watercolor brush that I did. It’s not anatomically perfect, but I enjoyed playing around with shading.

2. Sketch of Aja Amell, 2020 - This one is basically sketch practice with my Amell~ Not really the most expressive pictures, but it’s a start toward drawing her more expressively. Full disclosure: Aja is one of those OCs of mine that I have had trouble with deciding on a definitive appearance for several pictures, and I really want to work on upping my level of consistency when drawing her.

3. Long-Haired Fenris, 2020 - Exactly what it sounds like; this was for practice drawing Fenris’s features (I love how distinct they are), but with long hair because I am weak for it. This one was a fun piece to shade, and mixing the stylized lineart that I normally use with a greyscale shading spectrum was really enjoyable.

4. Portrait of Ilorin Lavellan, 2016 - This is an oldie. Basically practicing expressions, and it is technically a WIP, but I’m still very happy with how the shading turned out, especially because this is actually (aside from the unfinished hair) one of the more minimal pieces I’ve done in terms of lineart It’s still there, and it still shapes the flow of the picture in some ways, but it also ends up flowing with the shading instead of standing out next to it, which I like. (Both styles are good, though, and I love seeing other artists try both too.)

5. Old Portrait of Aja Amell, 2016 - Much older picture I did of Aja; she... honestly looks very little like the newer one, I think, and that consistency is something I’m still working on, but this one was the first picture of Aja with that particular hairstyle I drew. What I like about this picture is how young she looks; it fits with her image as a fresh and sheltered Circle mage who’s only about 20 years old at the time of DAO.

6. Old Portrait of Trilyn, 2016 - They very first piece of art I posted to tumblr~ It’s not exactly how I envision Trilyn anymore, but it was still very fun to draw, and helped me get a feel for drawing him in the future.

Dynamic Movement Pictures/”Moment’s in Time”:

1. Tabris in Arl’s Estate, 2020 - TW: blood. I am super proud of this one. My ultimate goal is to draw all of my Warden DAO OCs, and I could not believe I’ve never drawn my Tabris, and so here she is. This was, in large part, practicing expressions because I absolutely love art that depicts characters in motion, or capturing some kind of expression.

2. Velyn in the Rain, 2017 - This one was actually based on some art that I saw in a Teen Wolf fic! It was an experiment with a more expressive style (and one of the first pieces I did without lineart left in the finished version) and it was a huge step out of my comfort zone. But overall, I am extremely happy with how it turned out.

3. Jem Nocking an Arrow, 2016 - And here is the lineart version. This was entirely an excuse to draw my DAI baby, Jem, and to do a cool archer pose because archers are my fav, and I love characters in motion.

4. Solas Teaching Trilyn Fade Magic, 2016 - This one was a painterly picture that was also (like the Velyn picture) something which I tried to keep lineart out of. Overall, I am proud of a lot of parts of the pic, but I think I would definitely go back over it and change a few things now if I had the patience.

5. Trilyn Closeup WIP, 2016 - TW: injury, blood, mention of abuse in the author’s note. A lot of early pictures I have are of my OC, Trilyn, and this is one of my absolute favorites. His entire upper body is technically in the picture, but I hadn’t finished rendering it yet, so this was what I posted. And it was an experiment with a cross-hatching style with the pencil tool for some texture, with air brush shading and a blurring tool. It’s a style I had fun playing around with!

6. Trilyn Blood Ritual, 2016 - TW: blood, injury (the slight cut used to supply the ritual with blood). This one was definitely a sort of “captured moment” from a backstory I gave Trilyn, and I think what I was really going for was an atmospheric piece that could fit with any potential fic I wanted to write for Trilyn. And then it ended up being practice for extreme lighting/shading techniques, and drawing the blood and the gross mass of demon ichor (or whatever the heck that is) turned out to be highlights of making the piece for me.

Art + Text:

1. Freedom and Control, 2020 - TW: scars, but very difficult to see. This one was ambitious for me! It started originally just as Solas and my Tal-Vashoth OC, Saara, facing each other, because I love the dynamic I’ve built for them in my head, but then it turned into an attempt at a tarot-esque background, and just sorta grew from there... Overall, I’m happy with how it turned out, especially with how Solas and Saara themselves turned out. The version you can actually see a larger view is here.

2. Marianna and Delia Codex and Art, Pt. 1, 2020 - I love writing my own codex entries, first off, and I love combining art with text to create a (hopefully) seamless work. This work was an attempt to flesh out these OCs of mine with both art (because unique facial structures are hard for me to get down, but so important regardless) and text (because writing~). I think it turned out well overall, but there are elements of the portraits that I might at some point touch up a bit.

3. Marianna and Delia Codex and Art, Pt. 2, 2020 - Part 2, with what I refer to as a “DAI Outfit Change” because I have always loved seeing fans show their own OCs as they look in DAO, DA2, and then finally DAI. So I absolutely wanted to jump on that bandwagon myself. The skin tones are a little off (and I’m sorry about that!) because I was playing with the watercolor brush at that point, and it dilutes the colors I use. Still working to figure that out, but I was very happy with the overall lineart and structures of the faces.

4. Alistair/Aja Amell Picture with a Blurb, 2017 - Ooooold, old, old, old, OLD! I still love the art, and I’m soooo happy with how the interaction between Alistair and Aja turned out (drawing kisses is extremely difficult for me; I always end up creating a distorted weird lip-creature, instead of realistically puckered lips...). I’m not as happy with the blurb that went with it? At that point, I was still very much figuring out my own DAO worldstate, and the characterization for everyone, so, eh. Take it with a grain of salt!

Unfinished Costume Designs:

1. Ancient Elvhen Armor with Dwarven Influence, 2018 - People who do costume design work are amazing and mystical beings, and I wish I could do what they do. This was an attempt at merging the Keeper robes from DAI with a more dwarven armor aesthetic, solely because I created an ancient elvhen character, Ceda, who was taken in by the Cad’halash dwarves mentioned in the Witch Hunt dlc, and I wanted this character to have a mix of the elven style of armor and the dwarven style. I’m overall decently happy with it, but there’s still that persistent level of self-criticism present.

2. Herald of Andraste Outfit WIP, 2016 - This was a very old picture, not one I showed around a lot, but the idea for this was entirely born of my intense interest in how fashion and outfit designs could be used to create a symbolic image for the Herald of Andraste. In general, I love the combination of ceremonial armor with long and flowing cloth, so that was what I went for here. I’m still actually very proud of how this came out, and headcanon something similar for my Herald in my canon DAI worldstate.

Pencil Sketches:

1. Quick Saara Sketch, 2019 - TW: saarebas mouth scars. Exactly what it says; very quick sketch of Saara I did in a small notebook I carry around with me. This was basically a test for myself to see if I could manage to draw Saara with the features and facial structure I envisioned for her without needing to use a lot of references.

2. Mass Effect Character Sketch; Jesse, 2018 - Similar reason for drawing this one as the above Saara sketch! With these characters, I love sometimes the way they can turn out with the specific character creator used for them, and when I draw them, I enjoy trying to create a definitive look for them using what I get from the CC, and my own knowledge of Hooman Faces.

3. Saara Sketch, 2017 - TW: saarebas mouth scars. A more detailed sketch of Saara than the one above, and one I definitely put more time into overall. It’s currently the profile picture I’m using for ao3, and is the definitive go-to reference picture I use whenever imagining Saara in a fic, or for other Saara pics I make. I am extremely proud of this picture, and feel like I should work in graphite more often. It’s such fun, and the texture is so nice to look at.

4. Sketch of Nameless Alamarri Woman, 2017 - This was a sketch I did of what I envisioned some Alamarri tribes to look like; I used artistic depictions of Gaul tribes and hairstyles for inspiration, and have used this as a go-to reference for my version of Alamarri tribes. Nothing super notable about this one, but I really liked the way the shape of her face turned out.

Events and Gifts:

1. Another Scar, 2020 - TW: blood, injuries, gore. The most recent piece of art on the list, and a gift for @cartadwarfwithaheartofgold; featuring sisterly love between Rica and fem!Brosca, which was her requested prompt. This was a tough piece for me because of the difficulty with the lighting I dealt with. For some reason, that one particular element of it gave me so much trouble. Overall, I’m very happy with how it turned out, though, especially the skin tones of the sisters; Brosca I always sort of like as having this greyish, more gaunt look to her, while Rica I like seeing with a darker, richer, and warmer tone to her.

2. A Very Cousland Christmas!, 2019 - This was for a holiday exchange for a server, and I drew a friend’s Cousland (Elissa, the girl on the left) with my Cousland (Gazza, the girl on the right). I love kid-fic, and I love kid-art, and so I decided... baby Cousland art! Drawing kid proportions was the toughest part, I recall, and I thiiiink it turned out well, and I’m still quite proud of it overall. Elissa’s design came entirely from my friend, but I added the holly~

3. Exchange Gift with Dis Brosca and Mabari, 2018 - This was an exchange gift for @fanfoolishness, using her lovely Dis Brosca, and was my first real attempt at backgrounds... I struggled with the coherence of the foreground and background a bit, but I’m still very proud of how it turned out, especially with the colors I had to work with. What I also really enjoyed working with was the lighting and the expression on Dis’s face. Backlit subjects are always fun to play around with!

4. Inktober Picture, “Deep”, 2017 - TW: scars, injury, mentions of abuse in the author’s note/attached dialogue snippets. This was for an Inktober prompt (the only one I’ve ever done, sadly... because I am bad with deadlines...), and again features Trilyn. Trilyn’s backstory has him a former slave in Tevinter, and a lot of the early works I do for him are sort of deep-dives into his life there. It’s all meant to be an exploration of the things he endures, and then those moments when he overcomes it all and takes back his own autonomy and self. This art is definitely provocative, and I can understand if not everyone likes it, but to me, I just wanted to show just what he faces (without glorifying it) before showing the moment of his own triumph.

5. Christmas Holiday Picture with my Brosca and a Friend’s Amell, 2017 - This was a piece of art drawn first by a friend of mine, @nanahuatli~ She drew the Amell, the background, the mistletoe, etc. All I did was add my Brosca to the mix to finish the image. It was a lot of fun to do, 1) because it was fun trying to match her style so that the picture looked cohesive, 2) because I love doing collabs with friends, and 3) because it was just such a fun thing to imagine my surly short Brosca, looking at this weird plant/fungus/thing dangling over some puckering human! It was an absolute joy to do this collab with her!

6. OC Kiss Week Pic of Jem and Saara, 2017 - TW: saarebas mouth scars. A spur-of-the-moment thing meant to demonstrate just what kind of dynamic my OC, Jem, has with my other OC, Saara (both of whom are members of Leliana’s network in DAI). This was a very quick picture (deadlines...) and was mostly just to have fun drawing these two characters interacting, and to see if I could make them look like themselves. I think I did a decent job with it overall, especially with Jem’s kissy-face! (Again... drawing kisses are the bane of my existence, although hands and feet take a close second.)

NASA's new Mars rover just took one of the sweetest extraterrestrial selfies ever

https://sciencespies.com/space/nasas-new-mars-rover-just-took-one-of-the-sweetest-extraterrestrial-selfies-ever/

NASA's new Mars rover just took one of the sweetest extraterrestrial selfies ever

Perseverance hasn’t even been on Mars for two months, and already the latest in red planet rovers is picking up some of Curiosity’s excellent habits.

No, not science; well, at least not just science. Percy is proving just as adept as her predecessor at snapping brilliant selfies, as the most recently sent images show.

As the rover settles into its new home in the Jezero Crater, it’s been sending back images of its surroundings, including parts of itself. We’re still waiting for a full-body pic, but on April 6, using the SHERLOC WATSON camera attached to its robotic arm, Perseverance took images of its ‘head‘ and ‘face‘.

“Oh hey… didn’t see you there…” (NASA/JPL-Caltech)

In official terms, this is the mast, on top of which is mounted cameras the rover uses to image Mars.

The large round one is the SuperCam, equipped with a laser and a spectrometer for analyzing rock samples; below it, the two rectangular lenses are the Mastcam-Z, which takes high-definition color, 3D and panoramic images and video of Percy’s surroundings.

At the very bottom of the images, jutting out of Percy’s ‘neck’, is the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer, which is equipped with sensors to monitor Mars’ weather – including the quantity and particle size of the planet’s ubiquitous red dust.

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Bot

WATSON digital image Jezero Crater, Mars, 2021 pic.twitter.com/Gtw81npIJB

— NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover (@NASAPersevere) April 6, 2021

The first weather report from MEDA has only just come in from the day after Percy touched down on Mars, showing that the temperature in the crater was minus 20 degrees Celsius, dropping to minus 25.6 degrees Celsius within 30 minutes. The atmosphere was also cleaner than the atmosphere in the Gale Crater, home to Curiosity, at the same time.

(NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

Curiosity, meanwhile, is still beavering away, and sending selfies of its own. On 26 March, it took a panoramic image of itself and the landscape around it, including a rocky outcrop called Mont Mercou.

You can see, from the image, just how dusty a rover can get after eight and a half years on Mars: Curiosity is coated in a layer of the stuff, and it has collected on her chassis.

We have no fear of Curiosity – or Perseverance, for that matter – going the way of Opportunity, which lost power after dust obscured its solar panels. Both Curiosity and Perseverance are powered by the radioactive decay of plutonium, which can keep them going even when raging dust storms circle the entire planet.

Sisters! Curiosity (left) and Percy (right). (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

The next step for the Perseverance mission is the flight of Mars helicopter Ingenuity. Ingenuity detached from Percy on 3 April, and has survived its first step – a freezing night on Mars, which can damage delicate components.

The first flight is scheduled to take place sometime on or after 11 April, after which – beginning at around around 3:30 am EDT Monday 12 April – NASA will host a livestream confirming the attempt. You can find details on where to watch on the NASA website.

Photo for Online Dating

Experts claim that it takes barely a tenth of a second for a person to make an impression after looking at another person’s face. It doesn’t seem to matter how long a person looks at the face – the first impression is the one that’s likely to stick.

That makes the photo(s) you place on an online dating site very important – maybe even more important than what you make up as your profile. There are a few dos and don’ts you’ll want to consider before you make a decision on which photo(s) to use.

First, you’ll want to consider the amount of photos you place on the site. You’ll need more than one, but fewer than a dozen to make the most impact. If you only post one photo, you’ll seem uninteresting. Too many makes you seem over-eager.

You’ll want to mix the photos between full body, action and portrait style so the person viewing them can make a more accurate assessment of what you’re all about. A variety of photos where you’re dressed in varied outfits and poses is good for dating sites.

Make sure the photos are recent. Photos that portray you five or more years ago might be considered lying – especially if you’ve changed quite a bit. Your potential date won’t be too happy if you portray yourself as someone younger, thinner or shapely.

Red is the color in photos that works best for women. Men fare well wearing black or dark blue colors. Always avoid loud patterns such as Hawaiian shirts and include photos where you’re dressed up as well as casual.

If you have a pet(s) that you’re particularly attached to, include them in the photo. Statistics show that including photos of yourself with a pet can actually attract people and make them feel more comfortable to approach you.

Don’t worry if you don’t have an animal photo. It’s not a make or break issue, but it is another positive way that photos can make a difference in your dating profile. Including at least one photo of yourself with family or friends can also make a positive impact.

Photoshop can be fun to use in profile pics, especially if you tend to take photos that make you appear standoffish or downcast. If you do edit your photos, keep it to a minimum.

When choosing photos for your dating profile, choose only ones that are focused and clear rather than blurry or far away shots. Select photos for your dating site as carefully as you write your profile.

Really serious users of dating sites should engage the services of a professional photographer. It can take your dating profile to the next level and render many more responses than sloppily made photos that might present you in a bad light.

Consider your online dating photos like you would an audition. They will play a vital role in finding a person who truly connects with you. They can mean the difference in a potential partner skipping your profile or delving into it.

Photo for Online Dating

Photoshop can be fun to use in profile pics, especially if you tend to take photos that make you appear standoffish or downcast. If you do edit your photos, keep it to a minimum.

✨Star Atlas Zine✨

I received my Star Atlas package this week!! I was a little late uploading this since my internet is so bad and I’m trying to figure out how tumblr works.

Edit: Our internet speed was just recently upgraded (thank you mom!!!), so this post was much later than I expected to have posted it. But at least it’s finally posted? I guess? (this is so late, omg)

First off, sorry for the bad image quality. My phone is not that great. igh.

Anyway, the Star Atlas Zine has a few bundles that they offer, and the bundle I purchased was the Voyager Bundle. It Includes 1 physical zine, 3 A5 prints, 2 sticker sheets, and 1 keychain! The pic below is all of them:

Also! The bubble wrap!! It is so pretty! I have a pic of it right here:

(I’ll be saving this beautiful bubble wrap for future scrapbooking purposes)

This zine itself was really pretty! The gold foil on the cover is beautiful, and the art is just precious. Space lovers wearing their pretty, sparkling engagement rings.

I don’t know how much I can show you on this post, but I have a lot of favorites in this zine! Especially Astra Inclinant by @okwtr <3. And the accompanying art by mikkapi is awesome as well! Otabek in a desolate planet, meeting fallen star Yuri is a jam I totally never knew I had. It’s like Treasure Planet meets Star Wars the Force Awakens and Stardust. (I love all these movies so Astra Inclinant was perfect!)

Also, special mention for @tosquinha ‘s art, because you’re the main reason why I purchased this zine. Your art has so much detail that you’re going to be pleasantly surprised by every new thing that you’ll see each time you take a good look. (I loved every bit about the zine in the end, so getting this bundle was a really good call. I’m following every contributor in this zine now, because of this project)

B-612 by badkisser is also a fic that I love and hate at the same time. It is heartbreakingly beautiful, thank you! The short comics paired with it made by @shelliihe was so adorable and charming as well!!

All in all, this is an amazingly cosmic project! and I am over the moon happy with how it turned out!!! For a first zine, that was soo not bad at all. Despite the delays from the crew, the end product was really, extremely good. Thank you to the crew and contributors for all your hard work!

I’ll be adding the crew and moderators below to give thanks and my additional thoughts about their works! :D (and also spoilers maybe? for those who haven’t gotten theirs yet.

@aaaliyaamj Yuuri and Victor on a stargazing date! The sky full of stars and a peek of the Aurora Borealis made your art look so whimsical and calm.

@tybirb This is a movie. This should be turned into a movie. Victor doing whatever it takes to get his Yuuri back, and Yuuri being all smart and resourceful and dramatic doing anything to survive and communicate back to Victor. With love giving them the power and hope to go against all odds and finding each other in the end!!

@babypears Russian Space Scientists Team!! Your art style is so unique and your use of colors and lines are awesome.

@awanqi THE SKY. OMG THE SKY. The use of colors and how you layered them is fantastic! I can almost feel how the wind blows through the image, and the way you drew Victor is beautiful. Is he looking for something? or maybe someone??

@helllodeer This is such an exciting fic!!! This should be a novel!! I’m not so knowledgeable about deep space conspiracies, but your story is so interesting. I searched about the detail that you featured in this story and it’s so appropriate for Victor and so funny for me. I partly believe in aliens, hahaha, because the universe is soooo vast that it is impossible that we are the only intelligent beings occupying it. It may be humans like us, or another versions of us. It maybe exact replicas of us, doing the same things we do, experiencing the same events as us, y’know?? Or maybe beings sooo different from us! There’s just no telling because there’s no evidence against it. So anything is possible!

@gehirnkaefer Why’s Yurio alooone? He looks so lonely! His image of listening to music while staring into space is so solemn. Or maybe he’s just having alone time away from his annoying crewmates? Yurio would totally do that. Your art shows so much emotion and feels so cold, but wonderful nonetheless!

@berrycrisps I’m not very sure if your Victor and Yuuri are aliens or human representations of heavenly bodies, but it’s still soooo good! The golden detailes on their faces are freaking fantastic! God, I hope someone cosplays your art, its is wonderful!

@butleronice Mischievous comet Yurio is *shakes fist* i love it!! Don’t worry Beka, someday you’ll catch that bright star for your own! (Also, Otabek’s glow-in-the-dark undercut is seriously awesome. a fashion icon Otabek.)

@_xarem You made a whole new world with just one page of art!! Fashion icon Otabek makes an appearance once again with a bomber jacket with a Scorpio design. The sky is colorful and whimsical and full of wonderful things!! Yurio in a a dark hoodie is so Yurio, haha, but the colorful background makes him look so soft, along with Beka.

@rollround Bunny Moon King Victor met Astronaut Yuuri and wants to keep him for forever! I guess this is inspired by Japanese Mythology? The colors are so bright and soft, I hope they get their happy ending ;v;

@eimqo Sara and Mila YAAAAAAS Your art style is soft and so adorable!! They’re like models of astronomy-inspired clothing and I AM LIVING FOR IT. Their headdresses are the bomb! I kinda want them for myself :D

@trinketier Chubby Astronaut Yuuri!!!!!! He looks so precious in your art 100000/10 And heavenly body Phichit looks so happy and playful here trying to tour Yuuri around Saturn(?). I kinda wanna join them on the tour!

@princebunbuns your art is so very golden!! Yuuri and Victor dripping gold is fantastic!!

@peggyshrooms’ Yuuri and Otabek portrait is beautiful. The soft colors and the shooting star, I love it. Can I ask from what constellation this is inspired from? If it has one? Thank you!! Despite space being such a dark place, your art has so much light in it that it looks heavenly!!

@winchilsea’s fic “A Long Conversation in Space” features Yuuri and Phichit as heavenly bodies talking about what they are, what they do, what they’re supposed to be, and their past experiences. Most of the phrasing is really deep, I’m not a native English speaker, so this was a little hard for me to read and understand. The use of words is wonderful, nonetheless. But I’ll be honest, this is a fic that I might need to read repeatedly before I see and understand its flow. Which is a great excuse to visit this wonderful zine again and again!

@chronovale Made an art piece where Yuuri and Victor are embracing each other literally wearing the universe! I think they’re both separate galaxies ‘cause they both have stars, planets, and moons in their clothing. But maybe they’re in the same galaxy living within each other’s space! I love it!!

@villainsbynecessity Hikoboshi and Orihime feels!!!! Your Yuuri and Victor, literal star-crossed lovers depiction is so nice!! They’re both really happy in your art, and I’m really happy with this one too :D

@zuoji I’m not very good at astronomy and I barely know any constellation, but I suppose your depiction of Yuuri and Victor are inspired by real constellations? I’m so sorry I know so little ;_; But the art is awesome!! Gladiator Yuuri kneeling before God victor is 👌👌👌

@hatepotion Are these reminiscent of Tarot cards? I also have very limited knowledge about astrology, but if they are, then Yuuri and Victor representing The Sun and The Moon are very accurate! Yuuri the solitary being that seems cold, but in truth, he’s just shy but still the brightest thing in the sky at night. Victor is the sun because people just can’t help it but want to get close to him, but he never lets them too close. But somehow, against all odds and science, these two just can’t keep their hands off each other <3 <3 <3

@maydraws_ Made the art to accompany “A Long Conversation in Space”. The mix of mythic astronomy (is that even real? I don’t know) and traditional Japanese(?) art is wonderful! It’s simple, but the earthy tones and visuals are breathtaking. It really shows Yuuri’s solemnity in the fic and Phichit’s role as his companion.

@elleshivers Are Yurio and Beka supposed to be wearing Filipino pre-colonial inspired clothing?? If so then you did a really good job!! Your art has a mythological feel to it that I just had to think that. The details on their clothing and background are fantastic!

@suppuuri Your art is pure beauty. Yuuri and Victor lovingly gazing at each other before a kiss IS. THE. JAM. Their haloes are great accessories to their pure, true love. I’m tearing up, your art is magnificent ;v;

@insecticidesoap Your short but heartwarming comics is wonderful and brought tears to my eyes! Mama Katsuki is so supportive of her baby Yuuri as an astronaut and it just filled me with warmth and so much love!!

@sparklyfawn *whispers aggresively* Alien Yuuri rescuing lost astronaut Victor!!!!!! Your depiction of alien Yuuri is so creative! And Victor’s pink astronaut suit (and the most beautiful tears in the world) is so awesome.

@agenderemryspaperart Is this your paper art??? It’s so intricate and detailed and so unique! Do you have a story behind it? I’m guessing your art featured Yuuri and Phichit’s dorm room? Do they have figure skating in your world?? I have so many questions, but your art is still so beautiful! Yuuri in a half-man bun is also 10/10

@roselph Your short comics for “A Minor Victory” captured the fic perfectly! It was such a fun story and your art really fits the characters! Alien Victor is so funny!!

@aluhnim Long-distance relationships are hard. And you showed how strong Yuuri and Victor’s bond is, even though they live countries apart! How they show their support for each other, and promising that things between them will never change no matter how long or how much they are apart. *crying intensifies*

@aurigaearts It’s so dark!! It’s so realistic though!! How did you do this? This is magnificent! For such a short piece, you did an amazing job delivering so many emotions with Yuuri and Victor. You gave us loneliness and hope and love with just two pages, and that takes talent! Thank you!

@laurenbaldoart The gang exploring an alient planet with evidence of intelligent life! A movie, I say! Give this art a freaking movie! Phichit with a selfie is a must of course! Haha! Yuuri and Victor is especially sweet outside of Earth <3 <3 <3

@giftwrappingpaper Your fic was so much fun!! One of my favorites, definitely! Alien Victor falling in love at first sight at Yuuri’s true form is awesome. He definitely wasn’t disappointed. Yuuri also lowkey saving the planet earth from alien invasion possible doom is soooo him, hahaha!

@fatimajpeg I hope I got your new tumblr right! Your piece for this zine is incredible! I can feel Yuuri’s loneliness and depression. Bearing the whole of his country on his shoulders is such a huge burden, and you can really see him suffering from it. Your piece was beautiful, thank you.

@banacotta Yuuri, Victor, and Makkachin riding a boat through space! Or during an evening boat date while the starry sky is reflected on the water. This is so idyllic, I want to experience this! Your piece is so calming and such a beautiful scene of just relaxing in each other’s arms while the beautiful night sky frames their peaceful visage.

@haedraulics Astronaut x Astrophysicist/Engineer AU! And they’re engaged! Public displays of affection!! Outerspace wedding proposals!!! First meetings!!!! Everything in your comics is beautiful!!!! I LOVE IT.

@yuuris-piano your compositions are b e a u t i f u l, thank you, so very much

@miupoke The cover you did for this zine is magnificent! The stardust that surrounded the two, emphasized by the glittering gold foil and the loving gazes made it perfect!

@nuupu The gang in outerspace wearing such fashionable astronaut clothing!! Even in outerspace, these fashion icons never disappoint! Your art is dark, but the details and their facial expressions are clear.

I assume that @roarsharktest @roadhouss @krayonela made some of the prints and/or sticker sheets? Oh gosh, I hope I did not forget anyone. If I made any mistakes, please tell me!

Thank you so, so much for this project! It has given me so much joy and happiness, and was a great early Christmas present for myself. The crew of @yoispacezine are all wonderful and amazing! Thank you for all your hard work!!! I enjoyed it so much!

photographer peter lik

fotograf "That's an excellent photo, you need to have an exceptionally good camera!" Such will be the thought of most who don't truly know everything about a taking photos. It's approximately the same logic as expressing "which was an awesome dish, you will need a nice cooker!" After you have been a digital photographer for years (as well as trying to sell picture taking products for a long time) I've heard this affirmation very often. When I was trying to sell, clients would constantly appear to me and say comparable claims. The main one I probably read by far the most was "My buddy Tom includes a [place video camera brand right here] high-end camera and then he will get excellent pics so I would like to purchase the same 1. Nearly without having are unsuccessful the same explained purchaser would come lower back several weeks afterwards whining because "some thing need to be improper together with the digital camera you distributed me because the images aren't as great as Tom's." I would generally answer with "may possibly I see your digicam?" and would then inquire if they minded when i required several pictures. I might put the digital camera either in aperture top priority method or manual, adapt the options according to the take pictures of which i needed to develop, touch the shutter button, then display the customer the photo. They would generally followup with something like "Seriously, that looks good, the reason my images don't look that very good?" Which I would personally commence the lengthy conversation on how I take advantage of a digital camera to be a instrument to make the looks I want instead of simply being determined by a camera to carry out every one of the considering personally. Due to people, typically erroneous, thinking about digital photography I've made a decision to create a listing of 101 reasons that many of us need to work with a specialist digital photographer instead of according to their "good friend having a pleasant high-end camera." This collection - in no specific get - is principally focused on wedding photography but may include almost any taking pictures. A Professional Professional photographer 1. produces images, he doesn't obtain a photograph and "hope it comes out." 2. has put in yrs researching every facet of creating a images. 3. is aware of which camera lens to make use of in which condition. 4. understands how to set up your camera for any steady appear no matter position (wedding service, reception, outdoors, and so on.) 5. understands how to effectively make use of a flash for gentle, even lights. 6. is aware of when you use many flashes to make a wonderful arena. 7. is able to generate a scenario appear "normal" rather than like he was using a display whatsoever. 8. understands what aperture to set his camera lens to for that search that will make you look the ideal. 9. understands what shutter speed to create to record the ambient lighting, produce the a sense of movement, or freeze an object set up. 10. will sometimes shell out several hours retouching just one picture to make sure it is ideal. 11. is aware when you should use out digicam lighting effects (strobes) to make a selected seem or smoothly light a small grouping of people today or even a area. 12. has specialist equipment. 13. has spent about the same sum or more for *each individual* zoom lens that he operates than he have for his digital camera entire body. 14. manages multiple high-end camera systems if there is products disappointment. 15. is familiar with to validate his photos to multiple spots to protect yourself from laptop or computer collision problems. 16. has invested much more on add-ons Backdrops , Light-weight Holds , Controllers for Display , Storing Cases , Umbrellas , Tripods , Tripod Heads , and so forth.) than he performed on his digital camera(s). 17. spends significant amounts of cash and time setting up a web site, advertising, and advertising. 18. will be glad to spend several time reaching with you, addressing queries, emailing, going through every piece of information with the wedding day, scouting the place(s), and many others. to make certain that all things are accomplished how you will need it. 19. will talk about a "photo record" to you in order that practically nothing, or no one gets overlooked. (You already know that you've got an granddad Joe, however your wedding photographer doesn't if you do not inform him.) 20. are going to be expert about consuming pictures with the precious bride and bridesmaids since they are getting ready. 21. knows how to immediate groups of customers to be photographed in order that everyone seems good (no shut down sight, yawns, people today concealed at the rear of other individuals, etc.) 22. won't be ingesting in the wedding party like granddad Joe. 23. is able to record the minute. (not when you're pulling beyond the very first kiss but appropriate as your mouth contact) 24. is able to come up with a marriage record so that it not just reveals great photos, but tells an incredible storyline. 25. is able to fit the hue of his display lighting effects towards the shade of the background mild (tungsten, phosphorescent, in the open air from the color, and so on.) 26. keeps on top of the most recent tendencies in picture taking designs to make sure that he will be able to offer you anything that a person could possibly want. (imagine reddish colored wine cups by using a grayscale backdrop ) 27. maintains track of the most recent electronic digital editing equipment to make distinctive and unique artwork for you to appreciate. 28. can snap video. 29. did this before. He's not at the wedding ceremony to "process his photography" 30. will allow your guests be a guest. Uncle Joe will in fact manage to experience the wedding as opposed to being anxious about being sure that he becomes each of the photos he believes you must have. 31. will typically spend around 5 time Ahead of the wedding day when preparing, and among 40 and 60 hours AFTER the wedding croping and editing pics, helping to make designs, framing, making slideshows, generating wedding day albums, confirming instructions, speaking to the clinical, and many others. Do you think you were having to pay many thousand bucks simply for 8 hours on the wedding day? 32. understands that the average price of a large wedding ceremony is around $20,000 knowning that the only thing that you just will keep (other than the gown) is the digital photography. 33. knows that the average price tag allocated to catered food items service is around $3000. 34. knows that the standard selling price devoted to blooms(that may end up in the trash is focused on $2000 35. will gladly permit visitors get photographs throughout the wedding ceremony. 36. will conform to all principles concerning flash photography in your ceremony. Most places of worship will never permit flash photography during the wedding. How will you get good photographs in a dim church with no flash...? Employ a professional! 37. is able to make great pictures while becoming unobtrusive and unobtrusive. 38. knows that it is significantly smarter to save money by skimping for the roses, foodstuff, music and songs, spot, and so forth. as an alternative to to skimp on the only thing that you may have to keep from a wedding day (your pictures). 39. is aware what it's like to have a woman (who didn't hire him simply because her uncle Joe possessed a great digicam)contact him in tears inquiring should there be in any manner he could "resolve" grandfather Joe's pictures. 40. has learned the value of not retaining his clients holding out on their own photographs for a few months at the same time. 41. will focus on capturing wonderful thoughts instead of conversing with his close friends within the wedding ceremony (eh hmm...grandfather Joe...) 42. knows how to pose the bride and groom (along with bridesmaids, groomsmen, household, and so on.) so that you will look your absolute best. 43. is familiar with what perspectives to take so that your photos would be the most flattering. 44. understands that the buying price of your camera has absolutely nothing regarding the creative expertise of the digital photographer. 45. will "see the photo" long before he raises the video camera to his eyes. 46. will prepare for the second ahead of time to ensure he is completely ready when it comes about (the kiss, the wedding cake receiving smeared with your new hubby's encounter, etcetera.) 47. has seen the marriage course of action many times and definitely will happily work together with you (or perhaps your coordinator) to make sure that all the things moves as sleek as possible. 48. are going to be full of great ideas to help out together with your wedding far above just taking the photographs. 49. can shoot objectively and won't be as emotional as a relative or buddy. 50. can catch the sentiments of everyone different within the wedding. 51. is able to put together and deal with other professionals at the celebration (ring, DJ, wedding day coordinator, minister, and so on.) 52. has a vested curiosity about causing you to appearance your best. Not alone have you paid out him for his providers but also, he sees that if you appreciate what he does you will then be advising him to your entire pals. There's a classic indicating among photography addicts that goes "should you mess up a portrait you should apologize, should you ruin a marriage you should abandon area" 53. is aware that you can expect to hardly ever be sorry for experiencing employed an expert and getting skilled effects, however you will feel dissapointed about, from now on, looking to "save money" and having your pal function as the shooter. 54. doesn't use the "vehicle" setting around the digicam. Ever. 55. sees that word of mouth is the perfect promoting and definately will just be sure you are taken care of so that you can propagate an excellent phrase. 56. can placed individuals comfortable who aren't use to becoming while watching camera. 57. features a "bag of techniques" up his sleeves to create the most awesome practical experience feasible for you and your wedding ceremony. 58. causes it to become enjoyable. This isn't a career for him, it's a interest! 59. won't just provide you with a Compact disk or Digital video disc of images right from the digicam, and may painstakingly go through just about every impression to by professionals boost them while using the most current electronic software program. 60. knows about personal time management and definitely will capture so as to maintain your big day flowing properly.

photographer rochester ny

fotograf "That's a fantastic photo, you need to have an exceptionally great digital camera!" Such is the thought of most who don't truly know something with regards to a taking pictures. It's about the same reasoning as stating "which had been an excellent supper, you need to have a great stove!" After you have been a shooter for years (and also promoting digital photography gear for some time) I've read this assertion many times. As I was promoting, shoppers would constantly arise if you ask me and say very similar assertions. Usually the one I likely listened to essentially the most was "My friend Tom has a [place digicam brand on this page] camera and the man receives wonderful pics so I wish to choose the very same one. Pretty much with no be unsuccessful a similar explained customer would come again a few weeks later on moaning due to the fact "some thing must be completely wrong along with the digital camera you sold me because the pictures aren't as effective as Tom's." I might constantly answer with "could I view your high-end camera?" and would then ask if they minded should i got a few photos. I might placed the digital camera in either aperture goal setting or guide book, alter the options according to the take pictures of i always planned to develop, touch the shutter switch, then show the consumer the image. They would usually follow-up with something similar to "Amazing, seems good, the reason my photographs don't appear that fantastic?" To which I might start off the very long talk about how precisely I take advantage of a high-end camera to be a instrument to build the style I want rather than getting influenced by a video camera to carry out every one of the contemplating for me. On account of people, usually erroneous, views about digital photography I've made the decision to generate a listing of 101 causes that many of us should use a specialist photographer instead of depending on their "close friend by using a wonderful video camera." This listing - in no unique order - is mainly aimed at wedding photography but can include things like any type of taking photos. An Expert Wedding photographer 1. generates images, he doesn't require a picture and "wish it appears out." 2. has expended yrs understanding every aspect of generating a photos. 3. is aware of which lenses to make use of by which predicament. 4. knows how to establish your camera for the regular appearance no matter place (wedding, party, in the open air, and so forth.) 5. is able to effectively utilize a display for very soft, even lighting effects. 6. understands when to use multiple flashes to generate a lovely landscape. 7. understands how to make a picture search "normal" and not like he was using a display in any respect. 8. is aware what aperture to create his zoom lens to for your appearance that will make you gaze the very best. 9. understands what shutter quickness setting to capture the ambient mild, create the a feeling of movement, or hold a physical object into position. 10. will occasionally spend a few hours retouching just one photograph to make sure it is ideal. 11. understands when you use out digital camera lights (strobes) to create a a number of look or equally mild a small group of people or possibly a space. 12. manages specialist gear. 13. has put in about the same amount or higher for *every single* zoom lens that he or she is the owner of than he do for his digital camera entire body. 14. has numerous high-end camera systems if there is products failing. 15. is familiar with to validate his photographs to numerous areas to prevent personal computer crash issues. 16. has invested a lot more on extras Backdrops , Gentle Holds , Remote Controls for Display , Safe-keeping Situations , Umbrellas , Tripods , Tripod Heads , and so forth.) than he did on his digicam(s). 17. spends quite a lot of cash and time making a web site, promoting, and marketing. 18. will be glad to commit multiple time reaching along with you, addressing concerns, emailing, dealing with everything in the wedding ceremony, scouting away place(s), and so forth. to guarantee that everything is completed how you will want it. 19. will discuss a "taken checklist" together with you to ensure practically nothing, or no-one obtains left out. (You realize that you've obtained an granddad Joe, but your digital photographer doesn't except if you notify him.) 20. will be specialized about having images of your woman and bridesmaids while they are getting completely ready. 21. is able to straight multiple customers to be photographed to ensure that everyone appears fantastic (no closed eye, yawns, people invisible behind other individuals, etc.) 22. won't be having at the wedding reception like grandfather Joe. 23. is able to record the moment. (not when you're drawing out of the first kiss but appropriate for your mouth area touch) 24. knows how to assembled a wedding event recording in order that it not only shows wonderful pictures, but shows a great tale. 25. is able to fit the shade of his display lighting on the shade of the ambient mild (tungsten, luminescent, in the open air in the shade, and many others.) 26. retains on top of the most recent trends in taking photos models to ensure he will be able to supply something that a person could possibly want. (believe reddish colored vino eyeglasses using a grayscale history ) 27. retains on top of the most up-to-date electronic digital croping and editing tools in order to make exceptional and customized artwork for you to get pleasure from. 28. can take motion picture. 29. is doing this ahead of. He's not for your wedding to "process his taking photos" 30. will just let your invitee be a guests. Uncle Joe will actually have the ability to experience the wedding day as opposed to staying burned out about making certain that he obtains the many photographs which he feels you must have. 31. will usually spend close to 5 time Until the wedding day when preparing, and in between 40 and 60 hours Once the wedding party editing and enhancing photographs, producing printing, framing, producing slideshows, creating wedding albums, affirming orders, discussing with the lab, and so forth. Do you think that you were spending several 1000 bucks mainly for 8 time for the special day? 32. knows that the standard worth of a full wedding event is approximately $20,000 which the only thing which you will keep (in addition to the dress) would be the photography. 33. understands that the average price devoted to catered food items services are about $3000. 34. sees that the average price allocated to blooms(that may result in the garbage is approximately $2000

Hyperallergic: The Woman Behind Critique My Dick Pic Sizes Up Art Photos of Male Nudes

Anonymous, “First time” (2017) (image courtesy Critique My Dick Pic)

The unsolicited penis photo is a much-maligned feature of modern dating, but Critique My Dick Pic isn’t about shaming the men who send them. The tagline of this Tumblr, running since 2013, is “critiquing your dick pics with love.” The aim is to offer witty reviews of the composition of these photos, from the lighting to the angle, from the colors to the use of props. Each critique ends with a letter grade.

The photo above is a recent example of an A grade.

The review ran:

this is a subtle dick pic — or, rather, dick print — with a strong impact, sender.

you’ve completely flipped the usual angle and pose – a log, basically – and the over-the-shoulder, full body shot is refreshing and effective. the inclusion of the lower portion of your face adds humanity and intrigue to your picture, and the lighting, framing and drape of the covers are all well-considered.

overall, it’s a very good shot, sender.

thank you for submitting to critique my dick pic. your dick pic gets an A.

The one-woman band behind the site is Madeleine Holden, a New Zealand lawyer and journalist now living in Berlin. Every day, Holden receives at least 30 dick pics from around the world and evaluates them with her careful eye.

To change things up, I sent her a batch of artists’ photographs of male nudes, ranging from the late 19th century to today, and asked her if she could assign them a Critique My Dick Pic-style review and grade. Her answers provide a tongue-in-cheek look at what has (and hasn’t changed) over the decades in the way that nude male bodies have been photographed. Here are the takeaways from our conversation:

1. Dick pics are a broader category than popularly imagined. According to Holden, they don’t have to be straight, zoomed-in shots of penises, taken selfie-style. In fact, the only rules of a dick pic, in our critic’s mind, are that they’re “penis-oriented” and taken of a single individual. This means that a dick pic (or a classic male nude) doesn’t even have to be erotic in intent. It can be reflective, as in Thomas Eakins’s 1885 portrait of a man (popularly believed to be Walt Whitman).

Thomas Eakins, “Portrait of an old man in the nude” (ca. 1885) (image via Wikimedia Commons)

Although I normally prefer a single shot, sender, you’ve created an interesting portrait with a contemplative tone. The shots are a little on the blurry side and the poses feel somewhat staged, but, nevertheless, it engages the eye. Your dick pic gets a B.

Dick pics can also be political. Consider Dash Snow’s 2007 image, “Untitled (Saddam dick).” This is a good representation of Snow’s defiantly un-pretty, deliberately unpolished style. A seemingly random collection of objects, including a picture of Saddam Hussein, sits next to a harshly lit set of genitals. The photograph almost dares its viewers to excavate a meaning out of this assemblage.

This is essentially a log with a few additional flourishes, sender. The human skull and photograph of Saddam Hussein are intriguing, but ultimately your dick pic falls flat due to the lackluster angle and framing. Your dick pic gets a C-.

2. Subtlety and context matter. Holden tells me that, broadly speaking, “women are looking for more subtlety than men think we are. Zoom out a little bit and show some of the rest of your body. We’re not interested in logs and extreme close-ups of just your genitals. We tend to prefer a bit of the rest of you in the shot for context and some narrative and some indication that you’re actually thinking of us, you’re not just bragging about your size.”

In keeping with such advice, Eadweard Muybridge‘s famous photographic experiments of the 1870s and 1880s, which captured different states of movement, create a kind of conversation between the viewer and subject. Each photo captures a fleeting anatomical moment before the body changes shape, making us wonder what preceded and what will follow each image.

Your dick pic contains movement and narrative, sender, which is a plus; and your pose is active and engaging. It’s a grainy, low-res shot, but the framing, angle and lighting have been well considered. Your dick pic gets a B+.

Holden also approves of the narrative effect created by Robert Mapplethorpe’s “Dennis Speight” (1983). This is a spare, black-and-white photo of a young, muscular man gripping a set of branches. The penis is less confrontational than it is in other Mapplethorpe photos. Here, both literally and figuratively, it isn’t the center of the image.

This is a simple and effective dick pic, sender. The lighting is expertly considered and the prop is an interesting narrative feature. The tone is stark and subdued, and while it’s not an overtly sexual shot, it is striking. Your dick pic gets an A.

3. It’s hard to get away from the male gaze, even with photos of naked men. So many of the well-recognized photographers of male nudes are men — often men attracted to other men. Just one of these is fitness photographer Bob Mizer, whose 1972 work “Rick Gordon, rooftop studio, Los Angeles” is artfully puzzling. (Much of the gay photography after World War II developed through fitness magazines because the homoerotic content could be somewhat disguised.) It centers on a slight, young man who appears to be on a “great outdoors” movie set: leaves, grass, and boulders abound, all of them clearly fake. The subject is touching a dog and pointing to something outside the scope of the photo. It takes the eye a while to decipher all of these details.

This is a bold and impactful dick pic, sender, containing a lovely burst of color and plenty of movement. It’s a busy image, but every component has been carefully considered, from the pose and setting through to the lighting and tone. There’s very little I would change. Your dick pic gets an A+.

The creation of Critique My Dick Pic was partly a reaction to the male gaze and how it still dominates the way we look at bodies. Holden explains, “Whether it’s heterosexual or bi or queer men, it’s still a male gaze, by and large. And … since the site launched, I’ve been trying to encourage a female gaze. The site is inclusive. It’s for everybody. It’s for every type of body, in terms of who can submit.” Submitters include plenty of women and trans folks.

4. Most of the dick pics circulating online — whether contemporary selfies or decades-old art photographs — aren’t terribly diverse. With Critique My Dick Pic, Holden realized early on that she was awash in submissions from straight, white, cis men in their 20s, and she needed to call specifically for a broader set of photos.

In noticing this homogeneity, Holden assumed the dick pic takers were self-selecting. But the history of male nude photography in the West has generally involved photographers (typically male, white, and bisexual or gay) selectively photographing certain kinds of bodies (generally young, well-proportioned, and black or white).

One example of a white photographer who often photographed black men is Carl Van Vechten, who was an active photographer in the Harlem Renaissance. His “Male nude” shows a variety of fabric patterns, both worn by the subject and in the photographic backdrop. The abundant shadows leave the penis, like much of the image, a bit mysterious.

This is a luxurious dick pic, sender, featuring decadent costuming and props. It’s visually very busy, but the pose is commanding and the shot expertly staged. Well done! Your dick pic gets an A-.

Vechten’s work may have been considered to have shown a racially diverse outlook for the period, but today, people of color have a bit more leeway to take the representation of their bodies into their own hands. While Holden’s project shows that racial anxieties and tropes continue to show up in dick pics, over the years, for instance, she’s received her fair share of submissions from Asian men who tell her that they want to dispel the stereotype that Asian men have small penises.

5. The line between art photography and dick pic may not be that thick. Although, Holden acknowledges, “It feels almost a little bit obnoxious to critique legitimate works of art in the vein of my Tumblr, but I think that’s kind of the joke.”

At the same time, dick pic takers would benefit from treating their photos with a bit more gravitas. Holden muses, “If you think ‘I’m actually trying to create art here,’ as absurd as that might sound in the context of dick pics, you’re probably going to make a much better picture.”
