listened to most of The Art of War while hanging clothes at my job earlier and I'm going to just distill down the real advice for y'all without the twenty thousand similes and metaphors and such
Wars are expensive have them really fast
Don't kill your soldiers they need food and stuff
But sometimes put your soldiers into inescapable life or death situations because that's how you really get them to be workin' hard instead of hardly workin', y'know
Have more guys than the enemy and be smarter. The best way to win a war is to have every single favorable condition for winning a war. Hope that helps
DO NOT fight in a salt marsh
If your boss gives you a stupid order, don't follow that order
Be 15 min early to the battlefield
Attack the enemy's weak points. But also they might be faking weaknesses so don't attack if they seem weak. But attack their weak points. But also-
For the love of god don't let anyone read omens
#vic talks#if you limited sun tzu to 1-2 metaphors only per concept#and gave him the use of the words 'vice versa'#the art of war would be a pamphlet#sun tzu: so there's only direct and indirect warfare. this might not seem like a lot#me: it's fine#st: but there are only five primary colors but by combining them you get... a lot of colors#me: ok#sun tzu: and there's only five types of flavor but you can get... MANY flavors#me: OKAY#sun tzu: and there's five-#also. the urge to rewrite the first section of the book in the tone of someone trying to sell their online course is strong#st: ever wondered why YOU keep losing BATTLES? well I have a FOOLPROOF guide to becoming a SUCCESSFUL GENERAL!!#with just SIX SIMPLE TIPS you will RE-VITALIZE YOUR ARMY#CUT YOUR EXPENSES and...#IMPRESS YOUR SOVEREIGN!#and for the next 24 hours my private consultation rate is discounted

an attempt to use a different kind of color pallete than im use to
#the art of a lemon wedge#the urge to vibrate those colors is SO strong you dont even KNOW#i used rubens as a refrence cause i thought a nice 1500s pallete might suit them#and it is very interesting using a very limited color set#even MORe greys#and its very cool to see how they go together#idk how this will look like in the end#do i want to attempt baroque rendering#or stick to my usual#too easy it would be to tighten up and im not particularly interested in that#hmmm

sleights van
#im gonna do the interior tmrw but im pretty happy with how these turned out#i used the volvo laplander as reference for the front and the rest is based on a honda mini pickup truck#the bars around the chassis was an afterthought.. partly bc i thought it would look cool and partly because i thought#it would be good to add something to keep the trailer attachment in place.. i think theyre used more for offroad vehicles though idk#the folding screen is also partly to block out the view of sleights room and its painted with stars to act as a backdrop#idk if the stage is strong enough to support her weight with just thick wires keeping it suspended so.. maybe smth like#a table or chair gets wedged underneath to support it from the bottom too. i just couldnt fit it on there#myart#my art#my oc#oc#sleight#concept art#doodles#vehicles#sketches#wip#idk if im gonna color this i think ill just leave it like this

hi *throws this at you and runs headfirst into a lamppost*
#dandys world#dandy's world#dandys world shelly#dandy's world shelly#dandy's world sprout#dandys world sprout#my art#YIPEEEE#been wanting to give my shelly design a mild update since looking at it more ive been a bit dissatisfied with it#shes got tentacle tails now!!! they have a mind of their own and sorta just move around idly/used for expressing emotions#also for the face itself i gave her rounder eyes to emulate her weird soulless expression in-game bc i love that sm#i never elaborated on it in my og design but i like shelly being super active and outdoorsy since shes a paleontologist#so the bandages on her arms are mostly from cuts or injuries she's gotten while searching for fossils#unrelated detail but i think it'd be funny if she was like. comically strong aswell#anyways sprout!!! he is also here.#no but I love drawing sprout hes such a fun guy to draw. i love his fuckass hot yaoi base looking skull he so triangular#ofc i gave him freckles bc look at him. he deserves those.#struggled a bit with the colors and decided to just lean into the striped pink + green fit he had going and thought it worked out fine#naturally had to give him the charm i mean come onnn ppl!! he usually keeps it tucked in underneath his sleeve so its not damaged#also its sorta unclear in canon but i thought it'd be cute if sprout had the sweet charm and cosmo had the savory charm stead of vice versa#they just keep a little bit of eachother wherever they go <3#damn been a bit since ive rambled in my tags#watch out chat the yappers back at it again 😈

Here comes the boyyyyyyy
#kirby marx#kirby gijinka#marx gijinka#god his design is always so hard for me to figure out#because how do you work with light purple and bright blue and red?? the only thing you can use with such strong colors is white and black#and maybe some gold accents because the red and blue have to take the center stage and putting them with the light purple doesn’t look great#hierarchically I guess though his main color is purple which is why he’s so difficult to work with#I think I did alright but ehhhh it’s not my favorite

Transandrophobia truthers are so damn racist and white oh my fucking god y'all actually piss me the fuck off every time you tokenize Black and brown men for your stupid as fuck "mra but make it trans-inclusive" ideology created by a creepy guy with a corrective rape fetish(something I'll never let up on for as long as I live, btw). If I ever see another one of y'all say "Black and brown men face discrimination because they're seen as overly masculine and that's why masculinity in men is oppressed in this society" I will literally kill myself. Stop using Black and brown men as brownie points for your bullshit arguments about misandry being real when you don't have the slightest idea how racialized oppression works. White boys are so annoying and dumb istfg.
@punkeropercyjackson @punknicodiangelo @pinkpinkstarlet
#like none of the dumbasses i've seen say this shit have been poc and HEY IT'S ALMOST LIKE THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT#because actual black and brown men know that their oppression is not based around masculinity but around RACISM#because if it was about masculinity then feminine men of color wouldn't face the same oppression and would be privileged over them which#is not true#it's also worth mentioning that black and brown WOMEN also face these same issues of being seen as more aggressive/strong/violent and thus#more dangerous even more so than our male counterparts so it's not an 'anti-masculinity' issue it's a fucking racism issue#plus once again feminine women of color also face these stereotypes#when we are masculinized even while presenting as feminine that isn't anti-masculinity you dumb fucks that's just racialized misogyny#and misogynoir#it is incredibly telling that white transmascs who use this argument never even mention women of color and that's because if they did then#their entire headass argument would fall apart because it's not about MASCULINITY being oppressed it's about RACISM(which newsflash women#experience too) and masculinity being assumed of black and brown people(women included) is just another facet of the white supremacist#gender binary not any form of masculinity being 'oppressed' in this society lol#don't even get me started on how these men misuse butch lesbians in their arguments as well and act like they are man-lite ugh#sorry but as a black woman i am officially pissed off rbn#like y'all love to spout 'intersectionality' and shit maybe *throws book at them* ACTUALLY READ UP AND LEARN WHAT THE FUCK IT MEANS#stop misusing words created by black women to prove that men are an oppressed group on god you mfers are annoying#anyway the lesson learned here is that white trans men are just as insipid and racist as their cis counterparts#pos the lot of you#racism#transandrophobia is not real#op

Another short fan comic I made for @uncontrol-freak’s dh fic, Abyssal. This one’s for chapter 16! I was given a few chapters to choose from when I said I wanted to draw more for the fic, and I couldn’t pass up a dramatic Void scene :)
If you like corvosider, dark themes, and fics with regular updates that keep you on your toes, then I highly recommend checking this story out (and leaving nice comments while you’re at it)
#yeah once again I have completely changed my art style#what’s new lmao#not me using color for the first time though!!#really into showing strong emotions on character’s faces#that’s my shit#so being able to draw corvo yelling#and the outsider scared#I was so excited to draw this scene#had a ton of fun with this#thank you uncontrol-freak#for once again trusting me to illustrate another part of your story#I love when we draw for each other#my comics#my art#comic#dishonored#dishonored fanart#corvo attano#the outsider#corvosider#abyssal fic#(also yes I’m aware I still need to post my fugue feast thing I WILL I’ve just been traveling all week and I return home tomorrow)#(this one I already had ready to post before I left bc it’s been done for weeks)

bleeding dawn petals, march into the haze..
#floyd cyprus#draco almond#also the flower color reverse? totally on purpose hehe#there is meaning behind it btw- anyone can understand it in their own way#but to me tho..#red flowers is the strongest emotion which is passion. and the reason why draco is holding it is because-#-even after his vague childhood and how he got heartbroken in the past and his cold grumpy/annoyed appearance#he still has this strong flame inside of him searching for the real clue of a true bond#grey flowers is that numb feeling. or a negative emotion that are hardly changeable#and the reason why floyd is holding it is because of how he understands/help/care for everyone deeply#but in return; they don’t.#so floyd feels numb. he is used to that feeling#hardly enough he actually embraced it.#and he still keep caring to everyone spreading joy while having that pierced smile on his face…#simblr#sims 4#ts4#lets ignore that the aesthetic is SO NOT THEIRS… its spring thats my excuse.

Closeups and process video under the cut!
[Video: Timelapse of the piece, starting with a rough sketch, then a m more detailed one. Clothes are added on in a third layer, and then the piece is lined and colored in. End description.]
#FIRST POST OF THE NEW YEAR STARTING OFF STRONG#fun facts: the sketch took 8 hours / lining 3 hours and 45 minutes / coloring 6 hours and 30 minutes#this is definitely the longest I’ve ever spent on a piece in this style and the first time I've done an ensemble piece... ever?#just the sheer number of people I had to draw is part of why it took soooo long#that and my lining brush is uneven so I have to manually color everything in rather than using the paint bucket#people who draw ensemble pieces: I salute you#wash’s hair is lighter blonde because he fries it / donut's hair is slightly darker because he doesn't want to damage it#i have never drawn so many clothes in my life!!! good practice though#my caboose design is once again based off of amviall’s because it’s my favorite#I am getting mildly better at drawing an approximation of armor. I don't have the patience for accuracy#i did not use any refs besides my own FC sheet. probably should’ve lol#i forgot a few details and had to go back two separate times to fix them: 1 was simmons arm being skin color and 2 was forgetting donut's#hearing aid (which i also realized i left off my FC sheet 😩)#multifariousmediums#procreate#digital art#rvb#red vs blue#rvb art#carolina rvb#caboose rvb#grif rvb#simmons rvb#epsilon rvb#church rvb#sarge rvb#sister rvb#kaikaina rvb#tucker rvb#wash rvb

AVPJSK UNITS - Leo/need ; Part 2
"A band formed by close friends with old wishes and new hopes."
They did eventually get into contact with Blue again, who felt overjoyed that their friendgroup had started to reconnect, but they were still held back by the feelings of why they fell out in the first place. Red and Yellow suspected this, and wanted to reassure Blue that even without Green, they could still be a friendgroup and grow stronger as a band and wanted to prove it if Blue were to join them. Blue still felt reluctant. It's not like they weren't as enthusiastic as the other two were in reuniting the band. But starting over without Green? It still felt so odd, it felt like it was still so.. incomplete... but they knew they couldn't do anything about it now, and anyway, the thought of playing music with Red and Yellow again was nice, so Blue accepted. Weeks had passed. They started to familiarize themselves with their instruments again, they started to remember how fun it was to be in a band with the ones they loved. Though ever since they started to play music again, it felt as though someone was always watching them perform, hearing what felt like static applause on certain occasions whenever they finished performing. They wanted to get to the bottom of this, and soon they did. Turns out their solo audience had seemed to be a stickfigure formed from an old corrupted video they threw out featuring their old times as a band, with their body glitching from said corruption. They were a bit confused at first, but it seemed like the stick had no ill intentions, they were purely just a fan of their music. They wanted to also play with them, to which they decided to take them in, eventually their new band member. They helped the stick find out the instrument they were most comfortable with and then practiced songs with them. Often times they would enter the SEKAI for additional help from TSC and Alan. They seemed to get the hang of performing quite easily, and they enjoyed the feeling of casually playing music with the other three, as well as the feeling of expressing emotions through their melodies.. that feeling in particular growing stronger by the second. However, Blue still had conflicting thoughts. About the band starting again without Green, this new stick that they just took in as member of the band so quickly, it almost felt like they were trying to forget about Green and replacing him with this new stick. Eventually the others caught notice of this. They wanted to reassure him once more. They never wanted to replace Green, in fact the thought never slipped their mind. They only let them in as they saw how they overall just wanted to play music with them and have fun. Yes, it still hurt that Green drifted away from them all, but they can't change the past now. They can only move forward, and with the help of their friends, they could help Blue do the same, even if it were just a small step at a time. Blue decided to finally give it a shot. At this, their shared feelings started to grow strong once more. So strong, in fact, that it started to form a song.
yeah. are you surprised greenscreen is there? yeah yeah yeahyhe
anyway, here are the remaining three
next up is mmj. you'll be surprised by what we cooked for them
----------------------- UNITS
VIRTUAL SINGERS Leo/need ; 1 , 2 MORE MORE JUMP! ; tba Vivid BAD SQUAD ; tba Wonderlands x Showtime ; tba Nightcord at 25:00 ; tba
#alan becker#animator vs animation#ava#pjsk#project sekai#ava au#avpjsk au#ava tsc#ava the second coming#ava blue#ava greenscreen#fun fact! gs's color here came from a mix of rgby's colors (At least... thats what i was trying to achieve when i used the mix tool)#so theyre an embodiment of not just green but all four of them when they were a band! fun right#think of it as their fond memories gone sentient#its funny because they also helped to create a song that consisted of the unit's true feelings#the memories helped create a song out of strong feelings. how poetic#couldve drawn the guitar and bass better but eh#lilacsart
