Scholarly peak is catching up on recent literature
#bingqiu#shen qingqiu#luo binghe#svsss#sqq#lbh#my art#which is honestly just to say that i've finished the other two print books i was reading#and am now prepared to leap feet first into svsss bk4#i succeeded in holding off for an entire two weeks. i have the conviction of a wet paper towel.#lets see bk4 was described as - what? - an ''angst and smut pile''??#i am very much looking forward to this#i was promised a story with my snake boy#because i am very much not over zhuzhi-lang's fate so this had better be A REALLY NICE HAPPY ONE FOLKS#anyway have sqq and lbh cuddling and reading as i project on them#i like to assume that as time goes on sqq is able to relax his persona a bit more around lbh#i think he should get to cuddle and bitch about shitty novels#but man sqh is really the ONLY source of any books that have an even slightly modern cadence/style i have a feeling sqq would be very keen#though if i'm being honest i really wonder if sqh could ever bring himself to write fiction again#if you're A Writer it tends to be hard to RESIST you just get an itch to tell a story#but also like... the fear that all of this could happen again... or that the characters you're creating might be REAL and SUFFERING...#yeah... i honestly suspect he can't write anymore and that it honestly probably sucks a lot... but for the sake of this joke he is :P

WHATEVER itll look completely different printed out anyway#ANYWAY !! FIRST PROPER ART OF THE YEAR HELLO#this year i would like to get better AT#COMPOSITION. SHAPE LANGUAGE. 3D FORMS AND SIMPLIFICATION#i like realism and its what im used to but last year i was thinking a lot abt art i admire and its always very Shapes#obv u need to understand realism to be able to do that which is why i go to life drawing#but yea. u have to practise BOTH at the same time theyre 2 diff skill sets which can feed into each other#anyways that was my big realisation last year#the last few pieces have not been turning out Exactly how i want them to but i have to remind myself its what i can achieve#at my current skill level and i have to keep studying and looking and learning if i wanna improve#anyways. ART!!!!#took several pics of myself with a kitchen knife to use as ref for this lmao

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon
#there is actually nothing morally wrong with running an account that just reuploads ppl's artwork or their jokes or their cosplays#if you just put a VISIBLE LINK in the description of your post with proper credit then it would be beneficial for everyone#because you can get your little clout or whatever it is you want by putting a bunch of same-category content on a page#but nobody's getting fucked over because if your post blows up then people just get FUNNELED to the source#because it's placed so plainly where everyone can see it#and yeah it's better to retweet or reblog but#on the rare occasion that I see my shit reuploaded on tumblr WHICH IS WEIRD BC I MAKE MY OWN POSTS HERE but anyway#someone making their own post where they upload my stuff. and it's always the floral self portraits so let's say it's a post with all those#if I scroll to the bottom and it says like. Artwork by Serglesinner on Twitter <-- clickable link [Sergle's Prints] <-- clickable link#to my etsy#I'm like oh okay and all the anger leaves my body and I'm like ah I see. and I toss the rock aside#like oh okay so you actually care that a person made these pieces. Instead of posting the caption ''women <3'' or smth#like you've GOTTA die if you do that. but if you just link back#or if you go to the effort of writing like a description with a BLURB? like it's a damn museum. like a light paragraph of info#about what the art is and who made it and their links#I am literally sucking you in a strange and peculiar manner. that is extremely helpful#and maybe other artists don't want this AT ALL and they'd rather people not reupload even if it is credited#but I feeeeeeeeel. like 99% of the time this would solve the issue#reposters could genuinely be helping ppl. sometimes the repost gets more traction than the real thing#as long as it credits the creator then that's an okay thing to happen!#that can land somebody a sale! a commission order! a new fan! A JOB#A JOB!!!!!!!!!!#sergle.txt#I didn't write this eloquently AT ALL what the fuck ever barkbarkbarkbark

I'd probably have to read the printed version and web version back to back at some point to note all the differences but... ough
#sorry i'm going to be excited about this comic for the next month#nofna#okay having finished this now--#and sorry if this doesn't make sense to anyone who's completely unfamiliar with this comic in advance-#the 'popcorn ending' (printed version) is nice to see but i think the web version hits harder. if that makes sense#so i'm kinda tied on which ending i 'prefer'- i think both are good though#also considering i've read the web version a good 4-5 times and the printed version only once- i probably can't make that judgement yet#easy answer- i do like Nutsedge :] so it's nice to see the ending where nothing bad happens to her#but also- NT suddenly becoming a greenie-esque villain out of nowhere felt a little jarring#as well as SV suddenly turning a corner and becoming a 'good guy' (arguable)- considering the first three books are about#/him being too stubborn to change or accept any outside worldviews . Him suddenly coming to his senses felt out of place#<- probably biased because i like characters being bitter to the end and ultimately destroyed by their own hubris#the web version is probably‚ objectively‚ a bit better#but -#(spoilers- if you're planning to drop ~70 bucks on getting these books)#the conceit of SV actually perfecting his style‚ using it once‚ and then immediately getting tooth-brained- was pretty cool#assuming it's meant to parallel him spending months tormented by trying to perfect it while something's still missing-#and then dying before he can narrate it to the audience‚ so that we never know what he figured out.#hard to articulate these thoughts but tl;dr- popcorn ending also had a lot to think about

Hey wise people of tumblr, in the interest of having resource materials PHYSICALLY available for people to find
what are some actual books on or covering reproductive health that are as current/accurate as possible and that might help a person make thoughtful, informed choices about contraception, pregnancy, etc. and dealing with complications (miscarriage, pregnancy-onset conditions)?
there have got to be some clinic staff or advocates with sources that aren't just websites or similar
#reproductive health#abortion#resources#like there has to be something better than what to expect when you're expecting#(which we are selling out of. along with the handmaid's tale so thst tells you something)#but like google in not reliable website traffic can be tracked and who knows what kind of internet stuff may be attacked next#a print book bought with cash and passed around is still about the closest to untraceable other than#like printed handouts or zines which sre great but don't hold tons of info and you have to consider if you trust the source

Reading classic cyberpunk literature to my pet nanobug 😁 when I read Neuromancer to it it screamed every time Case got high so I promised there won't be any drugs in this one lol (I was lying out of cruelty)
#also the mass market paperbacks for this series have cooler covers#i only realized this after grtting the first two as trade paperbacks. which have better print quality and text size but#the older covers of sci fi series are p much guaranteed to b cooler#like i was looking up the older covers for this trilogy and there was some like. corny 90s cyber grunge shit going on that was so camp#edit: yknow im actually not sure if theres drugs in this one yet id just be really really surprised if there werent any

I think once you’re done with better halves id like to take advantage of ao3s download function and keep it forever ☺️
ofc :) also feel free to print and bind it, just so long as you don't sell it. you know. because of the laws
#aster spreekt#better halves (and other such falsehoods)#answered#anonymous#I've had several people tell me they plan on that which is so fun#but yeah i hear things about fanfic on good reads or getting printed/sold on amazon#and that's not cool#not that better halves is Quite that big? Like it's pretty popular but not insanely huge yk?#anyways I don't ever plan on deleting it but all things stand to change

Just a reminder, I have a patreon!!!
I've been working on actually making stuff to post more often for the lower tiers, and have been consistently doing so!
I post at least a few sketches and drawings every month for the $1 and up patrons
and I've been working on episodes and sharing some updates with my $5 and up patrons
And I have a merch club for $15 a month, but there's still some $10 slots left! I design and send usually a postcard and some stickers to my patrons every month, but sometimes I'll do some experimental stuff; last month I did foil prints, for instance, and a few months before I made magnets!
It also gets you access to private channels in my discord server, where I ask for patron input on things like the merch or drawings, and where I sometimes stream while working :)
Buuuut also, even if you don't want any of this stuff, it's a great way to support me directly if you like my work! I'm still on hiatus so I'm not making any money from work at the moment, but I'm working hard and my patreon enables me at least to buy my groceries!
Here's the link one more time, no pressure of course but I need to promote my patreon more so people actually know it exists haha
#I never promote my patreon#which is probably why I only have like 30 patrons (grimacing emoji)#it's a little embarassing tbh hahahahahahahha when my coworkers are talking about making thousands a month on patreon#and I'm like DONT LOOK AT MINE PLEASE#it's okay obviously#I never like. talk about it#cause the fun for me is making the stuff#so I'm like I made the stuff yay I'm doing it I'm doing a good job :D!#but then uh#no one knows I'm doing that#like I'm making art and posting it and I'm making merch and selling it#like did you know I also have a store?#no one knows I have a store either#I'm out here selling books and making custom prints and then I just forget to tell people#I also have open commissions..#god I'm so bad at marketing myself#but I have to get better at it#or else I'm straight up not gonna be able to keep doing this...#my goal is to be making 1k a month on patreon before time and time again is over...#cause then I'll be able to like. at least mostly support myself on my comics moving forward......#I need uhm. 2k a month minimum... to barely scrape by living...#the ideal is 3k and up lol cause of like. taxes and stuff..?#but#2k is. minimum...#gah#I'm making 10% what I have to right now HAHAHAHAH#so I guess I'm giving myself a year to actually promote myself better to see if I can't get it up to a livable amount#so that I can keep making comics#without needing webtoon#cause they only pay me like 3k a month

I got a gift card to Hero Forge so I made Loki and Mobius standees!
They're so cute 🥰🥰
Some shots of the 3d models!
#loki#mobius#lokius#mcu#marvel#loki series#hero forge is so fun i highly recommend it!#we had a team event where we got 3d printed miniatures from hero forge and painted them#afterwards I realized they also print standees which are way cheaper and look better than anything I could’ve painted

enthusiastic about many 'ologies!
#this was a bonus print for terror camp orders and is now in my redbubble#text is (slightly misquoted) from one of Fitzjames' letters -- speaking about goodsir#i had made note of it ages ago in my ideas doc and didn't bother to double-check the source before drawing this#the actual quote is ''all 'ologies'' which does sound better but. shrug emoji what can you#animals are arctic tern + ringed seal + polar bear + lion's mane jellyfish + (loosely) atlantic salmon and cod + nonspecific lil guys#aurora borealis and ursa minor in the sky#items are telescope + dip circle + surgical saw + net + sounding line#a little messy and disjointed but i was trying to get all those ologies in there yknow

Instructor at the oil painting class who was vaguely familiar with Star Trek kept referring to him as Mr. Stock, so I’m titling my first ever oil painting in his honor.
“Mr. Stock”, oil on canvas, 2023
#my art#star trek#star trek the original series#spock#star trek fanart#artists on tumblr#oil painting#the reference for this was originally a lot more saturated and had better contrast but then the instructor was like#ok now we will print it :)#which went about as well as you’d imagine but he made me use the printed one. lame#which is why it looks so washed out

if yall like the blood version more i’ll clean it up a bit! it’s pretty rough right now LOL
alternatively— double sided keychain? if there’s any interest!
#a sticker of this would have a black background so if i went with the blood version i’d have to mess with the dagger for the sake of contra#i spent way too much time fidgeting with this and i still am not quite happy raaaagh but whatever i’m forbidding myself from fixing anythin#except making the blood look better#because rn there’s a big difference between the blood in the first one and the lazily done blood in the second one lol#my other concern with the blood version is that the blood might look more muddied when printed on a smaller sticker#but i can also convert to cmyk and fuck around with the colors before sending it off to print#which i’ll do no matter what#anyways the frame was super fun i’m really sad i made the background black bc it covers up how nice the lines look#but black is the nicest background color#my art#astarion#astarion ancunin#bg3#baldur’s gate 3#bg3 fanart

aauAUAUUGHHHH I keep wanting to make stickers of the floral portrait series:
but I Keep Avoiding It whenever the thought comes up again, bc stocking all 12 pieces in any meaningful quantity would be like... ~1k all at once
#or buying more to get a better price per unit would be like ~1300 or 1400#At Once#if I get a VERY small amount then I could stock the full series for like a little over 400 but THEN#the cost for printing each sticker would be SUCH A BAD DEAL. and I'd have to price them higher.#which would guarantee them not selling very well#sergle.txt#wah wah complain complain#eating the cost of manufacturing is of Course par for the course but it never quite seems to be a good time for it...#because it's such a huge series. 12 types of stickers is a lot of types#normally when I print a new run of stickers it's a Single or a small set. like 3 to 6 stickers
