Me, rambling to my wife about this crackpot theory I came up with in the shower about how Les Miserables may have been an answer to The Count of Monte Cristo, or at least could be read as such: ... But then Valjean didn't personally screw Javert over like Dantes' enemies did-

My wife: Are you sure Valjean didn't screw Javert? I thought I read that on AO3 once.

#the train of thought leading up to my statement was whether it was Valjean one could read as a foil to Dantes or Javert #'cause of Javert's whole obsession with bringing Valjean to justice #bookblr #les miserables #the count of monte cristo #anyway nothing's gonna come of this crackpot theory of mine 'cause I am no longer in school and have no more essays to write #but by golly this would be a delicious topic to write a big ol' thesis style paper on #still an English major nearly 10 years out of cool leg apparently #well both these books are French but still #OKAY BUT LISTEN the two authors were contemporaries #and maybe arguably friends? according to the bio sketch of dumas in the intro of my CoMC copy?#I would have to do more research on their relationship and also whenabouts each was writing their respective thing #cause iirc aren't both books set around the same time period as well (mid-19th century) with a lot of the action being in Paris?#anyway right #ignore me and my nerdy nerdy book thoughts #these have been rambling tags with usagi

I woke up feeling like I was crying to sleep when I wasn't??? And my dream was about Mei from Turning Red riding a snow sleigh. Um There's nothing sad about that??? Lol

Anyway, the warm up sketches. The colors were added in Medibang. It was pretty fun, might do that technique some other time. My body still refused to recover from being bummed out throughout the day so I did house chores instead of commissions. 😅 Will try again tomorrow.

#The heat man. No wonder I was dreaming about snow. Lol. But I bet I'll just die the moment I'm put in that much cold environment. Haha #There is already a way I draw Connie's side view angle in the regular style. But I'm hoping to do better.#KatietheSlayer's Connie side angle is so good and I admit I attempted copying how it was drawn to apply on my own style. 😅 But it looked #so weird when I do it. 😬 So maybe it's a sign from the Universe or something. Lol #So I'm now approaching practicing that side view differently.#Ugh. Something about Connie's eyes looked off in that one. 😕 I think I don't like it.#Steven and Connie were suppose to be looking at Lion looking up at them but I didn't draw Lion.#There are perks and cons in sketching traditionally. Like how it feels so much better scratching the paper with the pencils. I believe I #sketch better on paper than digitally. The downside is of course there's no undo and transform tool. 😔#sketches #Messy messy sketches. My sketchbook is filled with messy sketches like a chicken was looking for bugs in the grass.#my shiz #connverse #Steven Quartz Universe #Connie Maheswaran #Lion SU #SU #skedoobles #Me basically rambling #I'm posting this so there's a higher chance I remember I was suppose to improve how I draw sideview angles.#Hm. You know. It mostly is really really easier to spot any mistake once you actually post something publicly. 🤔

I inked some of my sketchbook and the world didn't explode so yeah 👍 art dump art dump

is it obvious I just reached skypia arc? 😭

also, if you want to get a scale of the amount of improvement i've had in drawing abs, i've enclosed some old art from a few years ago under the read more 😌i think its pretty impressive

what a looker 😍 jawline that could cut diamonds

#my art #one piece #enel #enel one piece #dracule mihawk #nico robin #black leg sanji #one piece fanart #artists on tumblr #traditional art #art dump #i really thought i was going to put the pen to the sketches and the paper was going to disintegrate in front of me #so i took backup pictures of the sketches i liked in case they were ruined beyond comprehension 🙂can you tell i dont ink sketches often #also that old art was undated because i used to not date my art. very annoying for present me #i'm just going to peg it at somewhere at or before 2022?#come on past me just date your art 😭#let me know if theres a tag i should add to this because of all the shirtlessness happening in case some people don't want to see that?#i'm not great with tumblr tags

I don't draw all that regularly anymore, but since it is Spocktober, please accept a handful of Spocks (and one Kirk).

#disclaimer: not all of these were drawn during spocktober #don't look too closely at the one on the red paper. he's a little dubious. kinda looks romulan. at least he's also the hardest to see...#also jim is more realistic than the others exclusively because every time i tried to draw him more stylized i'd be like 'who is that man'#he was NOT recognizable. i guess you could tell him by his hair swoop. but. idk. he looked bad to me.#so i was like ok. fine. i'll just stare intently at a picture of william shatner the whole time. and this is what i got in return.#and y'know? i'll take it. i'm pleased with him. it all worked out in the end.#bones isn't here entirely because he intimidates me. besides i doubt anyone can draw him as well as forecast0ctopus can #also the colors are random. i just have a pack of colored paper that i have no other use for so it's become fodder for my rare sketching #star trek #tos #spock #james t kirk #star trek the original series #spocktober #i suppose #don't expect art often btw. if i try to become an art blog i will hate myself. it is guaranteed. not that anyone's watching me that closely

Jack Marsh (2005), Friendship Otherwise - Toward a Levinasian Description of Personal Friendship

#saw carnation lily lily rose by john singer seargent irl today. it was basically at my doorstep all along idk why i never went to see it #it was placed at a corner in the gallery. me and my friend sat down and sketched the paintings of beautiful naked people quite badly. paper #provided by tate britain. she told me about how she couldnt look her boyfriend in the face after a harrowing film about war. when i say the #interview was informal i mean the person who was supposed to be my boss told me let me get you a cider and then he said after #50 years of life he knows people are inherently good and it only takes a little bit of kindness to save this world. he said he tricked #his wife into keeping the baby and then he said he quit his job at a US bank to help people find meaning and in it #he would have liked to find meaning. instead he started climbing with his friends. he said he chews his cigarettes because its a habit from #when he had to hide things from people. the entire time i felt uncomfortable and incredibly enlightened. this is my friends mentor. she has #his pattern of pauses and expletive and penchant for ends-justify-means attitude. i do think im not very clever #but maybe one day i will love you enough to make up for it. i wrote code i dont understand staring at the final error i thought about how #we both thought of how when we're too old to remember the voices of our friends we would like to stand in the pathway of the LHC beam pipe #cut it open and eat light in the freezing cold vacuum (kills you long before radiation will) the invisible puncture wound unfolding dna #back to the start larger than you ever were. you go to heaven once youve been to hell. my friend is in my bed #practicing calculations of eigenvectors by hand and she is uninterested in a visual proof you are uninterested in incompetence #we catch a train this is your kind of burden you tragic hero wincing at that word you only do this because you have to. im the only one #who can. i am a coward in this for the fucking poetry. the visual proofs. the pretty numbers. an architect who was horrible at maths wanted #to be a philosopher and accidentally ended up neck in deep in 70th Error On Visual Studio Code i want to kiss your eyes before we say #goodbye we both know there is no love in the way there should be. I still have your dress in my wardrobe. i hope you make art.#you think im alright head-wise i think you fucking hate me i think ill never be so clever you want me to tell you my idea?#if you wanted more of this world i would have liked to kiss you harder. we cant both be like this. im sorry i cant be with you the whole wa #the love is gone if you have to ask it. his breath catches his eyes feel stiff it is -1.9 kelvin he is near the beam pipe i miss holding #his hand i miss her singing voice i miss his hair and i found the antonym of pain thank you for carrying me home.

I found this in my drafts, and was like oh this is nice I wonder who did this?

it's my backyard I did this

#a real thing that happened #back in the paper and ink days #anyway it is rare that one looks at old art and goes OH? (complimentary)#so now you all get to look at my backyard from a couple of years ago #sketches #sketchbook #traditional #there were a lot of blackberry bushes #canes everywhere

i am in some sort of bug hell

#hi. wasp iterators now #they don’t have names quite yet and they probably have schrodinger’s pronouns as well #funny to me how the bees were more pastel/neutral colored and these guys are just Fucking Neon #btw this time i was too lazy to line my sketches from whiteboardfox. so it looks different from my bee paper sketches #i so brave for scrolling through ten billion wasp species just to find ones that were funky and inspiring. all worth it for these guys tho #i think the ruby tailed wasp is actually harmless so maybe i would hold it. i would be sobbing but it would be my friend #either way there u go. the wasp sisters. siblings? the wasp things #myart #bugs #rain world #look at my waspterators boy #hive in mind #almost forgor

" just...come here. just sit here with me" (...that one scene from princess momonoke, click for better resolution)

#tw death mentioned for the tag rambles!! (sorry)#meme redraw gone wrong (high effort). don't ask me how i did this- i don't know either. consider this perhaps an AU of the pyre scene?#or more accurately just my internal wonderings visualised. sometimes the vibes from the implications don't pan out the same way #i also lost the original sketch somewhere in my papers. alas. i vaguely recall thinking this would be haha funny and then somewhere down #the line it turned to angst. other quotes that inspired this from the show were 'ily. i'm sorry' and 'i will always be so proud of you'.#smth smth they met on the roof!! vincent stops quincy from jumping off and then. vincent tries to die + eventually quincy kills him on the #very same roof. anyway the quincent death scene was spinning around for a bit in my head and out of the miscellaneous sketches this won out #wanted to play w the strong blue lighting + bg + silhouette things that you get w stage lighting // replaced the knife w vincent's scalpel #quincy is kneeling bc poses + idk why it's fun staging for him ;-; // also the proximity + intimacy.. // the pyre is also in the bg #but it's silhouetted behind quincy. i think the last quincy post made me associate symbolism (help??) bc as i was painting i was thinking o #angel wings ksdjfh // not to mention the halos. halos are always fun to paint.. shiny stuff...#and from the last vincent art. i guess the star and eye imagery carried over. hm. tried to get the quincy halo to match so its like a #rounder less spiky star? which hehe aligns w the sun vibes (that i??can't explain??) but more importantly here i was thinking about #binary stars for the glowy parts. two in orbit in pull to one another.. tension.. ue. also the glow for vincent goes to stabby eye so like #behind the face shown to viewer. meanwhile for quincy it goes in front of the face #and of course u have the downward linking implied line from quincy's tears +scalpel + glowy eye.#this is supposed to be rotatable.. in landscape form u can have either quincy or vincent upright (pov) + it should work both ways #//bonus stuff is vincent holding the skask w bloody hands + shadow looks like blood spatters. like it would if quincy did the stabby.#hhhh this is the most. confused i have been making a piece lately.. just toss in a lot of fun visual stuff and mix..#if the rambling analysis here seems pointless and confused i think that's why. this is why u should plan out your essays o.O..#oh. stuff i just remembered: the whole impetus for vincent planning his own death was so quincy would be happy / it's already #mentioned before quincy kills vincent that he's severely injured- vincent says it's fine- ig u could intepret it as a finishing blow?#hastened over the phaethon announcement- when they make the second announcement quincy looks up smiling until the admin gives it to #beatrix-he didn't know.. // <- so for this it's possible to infer that vincent wasn't very attached to living anymore.. hence why they look #more accepting above. while quincy is looking very angsty and conflicted. yeah.. // tldr! don't look into it too deeply it's a meme redraw #adamandi #quincy cynthius martin #vincent aurelius lin #tw knife

"You are beautiful."

#this is the first time i draw Brunim and without a single reference expect changes for sure if I draw him more #also do you guys like these sketch posts of just whatever i doddle during work hours?#qsmp #forever #q!forever #qsmp forever #brunim #brunimneets #sketch #paper #the vague idea behind this one is that i started wondering about the possibility of Brunim being added - and THE MESS that would be #because those 2 are Complicated TM #and also i've built hella angst lore for their falling off #and then felt inspired to draw them BEFORE any of that went down. early days when they were still sweet #xuh art

story by me (craig)

I are literature

In the quiet town of Doodleville, there lived a peculiar doodle named Craig. Craig was no ordinary sketch; he was a cat with a mission. Despite his simple appearance, Craig harbored ambitions far grander than his humble origins suggested.

From a young age, Craig possessed an insatiable curiosity and a keen intellect. While his peers contented themselves with idle doodling, Craig spent his days studying the world around him, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. He learned about history, politics, and the intricacies of human behavior, all from the confines of his paper realm.

As Craig grew older, his ambitions expanded. He yearned for something more than the confines of Doodleville. He dreamed of venturing beyond the borders of his sketchbook and making his mark on the wider world.

One fateful day, Craig's opportunity arrived in the form of a stray pencil left unattended on the edge of his page. With a mixture of determination and excitement, Craig seized the pencil and began to draw. He sketched a doorway leading out of Doodleville, and with a final flourish, he stepped through into the unknown.

The world outside was vast and full of wonders, but it was also fraught with danger. Undeterred, Craig embarked on a quest to carve out his own destiny. Along the way, he encountered a colorful cast of characters, from mischievous doodles to formidable adversaries.

Despite the challenges he faced, Craig never lost sight of his ultimate goal: to leave his mark on the world and reshape it according to his vision. With each obstacle overcome and each victory achieved, Craig grew stronger and more determined than ever before.

In the end, Craig's journey was not just about conquering the world, but about discovering his true self and realizing his full potential. As he stood atop the highest peak, surveying the realm he had conquered, Craig knew that his adventures were only just beginning. For Craig was not just a doodle; he was a legend in the making, destined for greatness beyond the confines of his paper kingdom.

Couldn't get the thing I was doing for Springo day 3 to turn out how I wanted, so I scrapped it.

BUT. I do like this wet little creature that came from it, so it wasn't a total loss

#girumidraws #the idea was that Ingo has taken to sketching #sometimes noting things he observes and sometimes as a way of putting returning memories to paper #in hopes of them solidifying once he sees a physical representation #this was inspired by a fic idea that I had #where people who knew what Chandelures look like were trying to draw it for him #because he couldn't remember. unfortunately they all sucked real bad and he was getting nothing from the experience #eventually laventon saves the day with some photos he took during his travels #and the epilogue had him sketching what he remembered of his mons (and emmet's too)#and turning out to be WAY better at drawing than everyone else #unfortunately. my reach exceeded my grasp on that one #one of the memories unlocked was that his brother's starter used to be a big crybaby
