I think life is fundamentally difficult. Hectic and brutal—it doesn’t spare an inch, and yet what always gets me to calm is the notion that there is and always will be art. The act of creation in a time of destruction is an act of defiance and an act of hope. Many people can put it better than I can, but art is constant, tiny little explosions in the sky. No matter the grievances you face, art is always waiting for you. A couch to sink into until the next morning.

#a starry sky up above etc.#art makes us romantic about living and that is enough #this is me saying I love you #this is me saying please create please absorb #my one personal post for the year LOL #thank you for following and sticking around in my little digital scrapbook #my personal is bravecitizen #which is almost as infrequent as this space #but life is hectic lol #Take care of yourselves #whatever that may look like

You think Raph ever like grabs one of his bros by the shoulders and shakes them like a wet rag or clamps a hand over the crown of their head and slowly squeeeeezes or just Stares at them with the most intense gritted teeth expression and they assume he's having another bad day but he's actually just trying to cope with the crazy levels of cuteness aggression they give him? Cause I do

#inspired by the cuteness aggression i get around my dog #it's so hard not to just. rarghhhh #whatever that may look like #seriously though this guy loves his bros so very much #it's intense #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt raphael #cuteness aggression

i hope hajun gets worse. morally and emotionally.

#i need her broken to pieces under the weight of all her repressed emotions #i want her desperate scrambling to reassemble the torn facade of perfection while her loved ones watch in alarm #i want her to wither under the self-loathing of being seen like that #and i want her shattered irreversibly from another humiliating public breakdown #and i want her to discover and make peace with the natural state of herself #whatever that may look like #idk i just want her to suffer a little more. i enjoy it. ☺️ i want to see it #also i’m getting bored of them running the same lines / character descriptions for her #we know she’s two-faced and sadistic. if i have to see THIS MUCH of her can i get something new at least #the party ended 3 years ago and they’re still here. like come on bruh #the only thing that will satiate my bloodlust. is VISTY lore. so i hope the writers are cooking something good #ro talks

i wanted to try drawing older Mabel and Dipper !

#gravity falls #mabel pines #dipper pines #artists on tumblr #tbob #not gonna lie im not too sold on these designs so i may change things later if i ever wanna draw them again #i was looking at their old character designs and concept art for inspiration #mabel lowkey looks like a fashion mess but! i think its in character so whatevvsss #also firm believer that they both have glasses. mabel doesnt wear contacts bc she likes fun frames + contacts are too uncomfortable for her #dipper doesnt wear contacts because hes too busy for contacts and he can never put them in right #also took some insp from kristen schaal. alex hirsch. ariel hirsch. jason ritter for them too #also. i know dipper is shown to be a STEM-y kid but i firmly am a believer hes a STEM enjoyer in the service of art. like the fanfiction #writer thats studies physics or chemistry to get a certain detail right or something. or the entire futurama writers room lol #like i do think he wants to make documentaries or shows abt the supernatural or whatever #and mabel helps out with the adventuring :)#kind of like buzzfeed unsolved in the golden era of youtube #turtlearts

Ghouls night out

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Scopophobia #Don't be mean Lan Wangji - the dead girl aesthetic is a curated one. Support women's rights to look dead!#I have been waiting for this scene for ages...the ghost girl entourage is such a good look for WWX.#And by gods does the audio drama actually do something interesting with one of them.#Namely that we actually get to see WWX talk with them and learn about who they were and what they left behind.#I love necromancer characters but it's way too common for them to be like “Go! Ghost no.145!” like they're a pokemon #and not...you know...someone who had a whole life that they left behind.#I love me a necromancer who has an awareness to whose soul/body they are using. It adds a lot of flavour!#MDZS is a little hit or miss with this. I think the fans do a lot of the work with making Mo Xuanyu a bigger character.#Yi City has this in spades. Even though we don't individually get character backstories #We get many painful reminders about how these 'corpses' were people.#We also get a few lines about how WWX used whatever corpses he could get his hands on (including grandparents - Woof!)#MDZS often (but not always) likes to remind us that every sacrifice and every ghost was a person.#It is so close to nailing the landing regarding the deconstruction of the necromancer character.#Anyhow. You may have noticed the uptick in quality in the last two comics. Rule of three means next one is going to be a treat B*)#See you all very soon!

a different sort of hopping mammal than usual (for variety). and this one even comes with pockets, neato!

(expert aussie consultants have kindly informed me her posture is not NEARLY weird enough to facilitate proper kangaroo balance, so she's liable to tip onto her face at any moment and explode into one million pieces instantly. SAD. well, there are other critters)

#taffy art #furry art #my sona #soleil #kangaroo #drawpile #i'm still looking at this and the ferret and the rabbitaurs as more of an 'alternate universe' type thing #rather than the usual regular bunny version actually changing into different forms or whatever #as much as that might seem like an irrelevant distinction lol #but i do want the record to show that if bunny soleil DID turn into a kangaroo it'd be 20% for the cool tail and 80% for the handy pouch #her exact thought process may have literally been 'soon i won't even need a backpack for all my applesauce. this is genius'#it feels in-character i think

Couldn’t stop thinking about Dust being able to pass as Classic. So I had an idea where Dust replaces Classic in a timeline and steals(?) his partner.

He gets conflicted when he starts actually caring about you… But denial is an easy road to take when there’s seemingly no consequences to your actions.

The reveal i guess. Most normal reaction to learning your partners been replaced for god knows how long and you have no clue where he is.

Now that I think about it I might’ve gotten some inspiration from that one chapter of IJAG by @htsan (iykyk) only a lil bit tho

(Full rambling of the idea + extra sketch cuz i liked the expression) ↓↓

I originally wanted y/n to notice the differences instantly but i think it would be angstier if they didn’t and only noticed like months later >:3

#hoodies are hard #i need to practice more #hrmmm #also i guess the new sona is staying #lol #theres much more to this but basically dust gets attached #he was not prepared to get attached (dumbass lmao)#you may ask ‘oh he can just kill them why does he look so scared?’#hes scared of losing them #hes selfish #theres so much angst potential here hehehoo #the idea of sans just being trapped in a basement unable to teleport out for whatever reason… help him…#dust trying to get information out of him about y/n while taunting him about how easy he is to replace #but theres also a funny side to it cuz like. ‘hey whats your favorite movie again?’ ‘Very funny sans #You know what my favorite movie is…’#Dust who has no fucking clue: ‘ehehe yeah i know im just joking’ *hes actually freaking out a bit on the inside*#sans #dust sans #my beloved #my beloathed #sans x self insert #sans x reader #sans x you #undertale au #fic idea #prolly a oneshot #leafs art #replaced au

bonus The Flats Only Version

#xmen #erik lehnsherr #magneto #xmen comics #snap sketches #why did half of my beginning tags just get neutralized. tf. now i have to retype them and this tag'll make no sense #anyway 'have you done literally anything but think about 309 since you read it' no . apparently vJARLKAJKL #BUT YEAH I JUST WANTED A COLOR REF IF IM GONNA DRAW THIS LOOK MORE OR WHATEVER #i dont know if i like the yellow dress shirt + pink tie combo ... that's inspo'd from his new mutants headmaster suit + tie..#why does he have to wear a suit under the coat huh .. the thing is i have no idea if he's supposed to be wearing a dr's coat or a trench #i mean he briefly wears his magneto suit when scolding charles so maybe it is a doctor's coat....#doctor makes the most sense to me considering the context so thats why i went all white but... now im not so sure ...#UGH stupid beautiful comic had to be in monochrome. or limited colors whatever #anyway i did start some doodles cause i wanted to post a few 309 doodles but. hm.#i think i might make a separate post for it ... it may be a lil inapropro !!!!#i wanted a color ref in the first place because i was thinking about making a 309 comic but like #now that i think of it if i do that i might jsut do the blue/black thing they did in the actual comic..#idk the thing im doodling now i might do in full color. just for fun #tbh maybe i wont do that comic after i doodle this.. no im lying i still will i still have visions i wanna put in front of my eyes #i can only fall asleep thinking about it so much i need it tangible #if i do draw it i prob just wont post it or ill just share it with select friends. aka like. one vjAELKVJEAKJ #but that's like months from now lbr ok ill still share crumbs with you all !!!!! gimme like. five hours vJALKJAKL #ok bye !!!!!!!!! please enjoy therapist magneto in the meantime #you will not get better as an individual you will get worse

What's going to happen to me now?

#devil may cry #beanie art #vergil devil may cry #vergil dmc #nelo angelo #urizen dmc #v devil may cry #v dmc #dmc fanart #devil may cry fanart #i mean do i have to tag the nightmares too #anyways let me elaborate on the piece here in the tags #its based on Triple Self Portrait by Norman Rockwell #planned to do a thing where each reflection is holding in its left hand whatever vergil's 'heart' is at each point in his life #while the right hand would hold his 'weapon'#like the symbolism at the end of VoV where the young vergil is holding the book and the yamato #for nelo angelo it's the amulet as his heart and mundus's sword as his weapon #for urizen he has nothing in his hand as his heart and the qliphoth fruit as his weapon #v was meant to have his book in his hand as his heart and the familiars as his weapon #and ofc young vergil has the amulet and the yamato (hes looking at nelo angelo in the leftmost mirror whats he thinking HMMM)#but regardless the way the piece worked out you cant see everybodys hands!!!#it be like that sometimes i hope someone reads these tags and sees the intent lol

Hey, I’m new to Tumblr, but I’ve seen your characters around the internet and I love them so much!! Everyone has so much love for Machete and Vasco and your art is so cool to see! Do you have any tips for an aspiring artist and creative writer?

Hi! Welcome to tumblr! I'm glad to hear you like my dogs :]

I'm not really a writer, and I also completely lose my confidence when I'm trying to explain my art processes. So this is probably an obvious, unhelpful platitude at best, but one thing I've realized is that you should allow yourself to be self-indulgent. If you're the primary target audience of your own work, it generates passion and keeps you inspired and motivated. I like to believe that people who see your creations are more likely to respond to them positively if they can sense that you're putting your heart and soul to them.

#if you have any special interests that you're really knowledgeable about you can try including them in your art/writing somehow #even if it seems kind of an odd match they may merge into an interesting and potentially unique combination #like this Vaschete era I'm going through is a product of lifelong interest in animals history art and religion #just jamming all of my favorite topics and themes in there #be forgiving to yourself when things fon't work out as smoothly as you had hoped #and try to cultivate a positive relationship with the creative process and end results #meaning if you have a habit of putting yourself down and saying your art/writing sucks #try not to do that #it can lead you to resent the whole hobby and stifle your potential #I dunno this probably comes across so vague and nebulous #answered #sagepuca #tldr: be excited about whatever you create #make art/stories that you yourself would look at and think 'this is the coolest thing it's like it was tailored just for me'#also like I'm just some guy you don't have to take my advice these are just some things that have helped me personally #your experience and approach might be different

Drowning myself a bit in the concept of a yandere who prides himself on being the boogeyman of underground circles but as soon as he is face-to-face with his darling, dissolves into a bumbling mess of graceless stammering and cumbersome limbs. A tripping-over-air, tongue-tied loser who has lost all sense of cool.

In the witching hours, he is a deadly force with unyielding claws and nimble words. The daylight finds him kneeling at the alter of your every spoken phrase.

What a blessing that darling is gracious to this poor helpless sap. Such a "harmless", if occasionally clumsy fellow. And -- oh! You dropped all of your papers! Here, let me help! No, really, it's no problem. (Did he just sniff my hair? No, I must have imagined that... right?)

To the other monsters that roam the shadows, he is a heartless, shapeless void of terror. To speak the dread name is to summon him and whatever fate the wheel so spins that day.

To you, he is a perfect gentleman. A, perhaps slightly, awkward acquaintance who could never hurt a fly. Literally. You think he might be a little afraid of bugs?

You cannot help but notice things have been changing since your new friend has shown up, though. New movements in the neighborhood. Not bad necessarily, but different.

That asshole next door has definitely been treating you nicer. Suspiciously nicer. And these numbers on your bills... have they gone down? You will have to call the bank to ask about it. You are pretty sure you owe more than this.

As soon as you figure out what happened to your favorite sweater...

#yandere #male yandere #getting really into the concept of yanderes that shouldn't be but are losers lately #imagine it how you will but to me the joke is that he isn't actually as bad as he thinks he is around darling but because #he has this image of himself and he can't be that and also in love or whatever at the same time #it falls apart around darling and turns him into an absolute fool #old fashion gentlemanly so it looks cute to outsiders but he's dying inside #darlings who can control their yanderes with the right leash my beloved #it's like being forcefully gifted a particularly difficult pet. i guess. if you want to think of it that way #when life gives you lemons you gotta get a leash on it and #i suspect myself of writing top!darling and sub!yan but i refuse to look at myself too closely lest i learn things about myself #trying to stay motivated on the current story i am writing which may or may not be about this fool who needs a name #i had a fun direction to take this fool we'll see if it stick by the time i make it to that scene #Cricket Writes 🦗🖋

#we trade pain for wisdom #whatever the case may be if it’s you or if it’s me growth and change and learning from the mistakes are all that we can do #to add to it didn’t deserve to know me like that* or appreciate my time etc #but throughout all the hardship I’ve been through with people that I didn’t work out well with (familyfriends romantic relationships)#ive learned a lot throughout my life from people and myself included #I’m grateful and appreciative of the wisdom I’ve gained and how I’ve overcame it but sad & angry at the thought of remembrance #I know what I’m saying is vague and this post isn’t about a specific person but just looking at it as a whole #people who genuinely like you and care about you want the best for you and will want to make things work no matter what #people who value you don’t treat you like shit people who value you show appreciation for you #people who love you let you know just like people who don’t they all let you know #but there’s been some instances where I’ve been the one who made mistakes and caused issues and things of that nature #I’ve taken those mistakes and learn from them and have grown from them since they happened #that’s the point of life learning experiencing understanding and growing #with or without you I will be fine :) I’m happy whether you’re in or out of my life #that statement alone if I had been told that before I would’ve cried my eyes out but now I’m like I’m fine with or without I don’t need #anyone or anything but if you want to tag along that’s fine if you don’t want to that’s also fine the freedom is there #it’s freeing in my heart to say that tbh #I know my worth and what I deserve I’m not going to settle for less
