#which is like. damn. as an artist

[toss-a-coin-to-your-stan-account]

saw a tiktok that was about how the OP doesn't like when villains are evil and do evil things like murder just for fun bc it's "boring" and no offense but when did you guys collectively forget/refuse to learn how to make villains sexy and cool and fun

WOW this has been ROUGH in the Life Events category of things, but. slowly crawling out of that. hopefully

this was the opening scene for a something I started writing after watching the Manben inverview with Nishi Keiko and thinking back to all the classic shoujo manga I stayed up reading back in the day, like damn that's so true Urasawa Naoki

it's partially a love letter to all the greats of the genre that I read, and also to the late night teleseryses that captivated me over the years lmao. it'd be nice to find the time to tackle it properly as a comic, but I'm having fun working on it recreationally :)

✨but since it's recreational, some character info✨

the first character seen is lawrence 'law' valenciano (late 30s), the one with the glasses is cris volante (mid-later 20s). law works at a karinderya, cris is an extremely broke university student.

he has a certain “oh golly good gracious” air about him that is absent in the later installations of the franchise

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

I need to shoutout the Chance player who shot his flintlock at me (Telamon) because I walked up behind him and scared him apparently

[wraith-caller]

It costs 0 dollars to not go on art of a pairing you don't like and tell the artist "they don't belong together, actually"

I think Guzzlord was made specifically to spite me. It's got all the things.

Mostly black yarn.

LARGE.

Many distinct parts (more than 12) (at least 22) (tail, body, maw, tusks, tongue, teeth, arms (mouth), arms (head), eyebrows (winged), wings, mini head, legs).

Many spikes Everywhere (on the end of the tail, along the top of the tail, along the top of the body, on the crab mouth arms, on the tongue, inside the maw (separate from tongue spikes), on chin, on mini head).

Teeth (separate from spikes) (four sets (upper/lower yellow/black) (another set if you count the crab arm mouths) (another set if you put tusks in this category because, they are teeth yeah)

Did I mention the mouth spikes? Which ones? The ones on the tongue? The ones IN the mouth on the palate? The tusks? The ones on the arms that are in the mouth?

Last picture I posted I had forgotten to attach the tusks so technically that was a WIP post and this is the real finished crochet post. Gonna round up the time it all took and say 16 hours. An absurd amount of time was spent on the many, many, ..many details. You can't even see them all very well in the pictures, but I promise you they are there. Spikes everywhere. In the mouth. On the tongue. On the mouth. On the body which is basically a mouth. On the arms (both sets if you count the "fingers" on the head arms as spikes). The ball at the end of the tail is covered in spikes. There's tiny wings on the sides. One set is gilded. There's another set if you count the way the eyebrows look. There's a tiny little head on top of the giant mouth head that has 4 tiny little spikes.

Well here's an Art vs artist meme with some art from this year!

I don't think I've ever done one of these before, but I really like this jacket. It's a marlboro jacket but I don't smoke and I already feel bad telling people I don't have a light and that will be bad x100 when I'm literally wearing a cigarette jacket so I tried to cover the patch up with one I made. cause I really like this jacket

really not loving the way intellectually and physically disabled people keep being used as shields against criticism of the way in which companies implement incomplete and dishonest ai

[freakartack]

bit sad that your distaste for rhythm heaven means that spitz' weird badminton cousin or cricket's rival he forgot can never be real here but I respect having beef with random video game series you've never played for no reason (in spite or because of your fondness for similar series). i have that with crash bandicoot when i see that fuck it's on sight

Oh all of that is absolutely real to me i just can't bring myself to actually play it. Despite my beef I do think it is hilarious that young cricket & master mantis emigrated from Rhythm Heaven World and i welcome that with open arms. (It's also kind of hard to ignore Cicada at this point LOL.) Similarly, while I don't think that Forthington is related to spitz like some others do, unlike dribblenspitz I do think that dog and that cat are gay married & filthy rich

(what can i say; I can forgive anything if it has enough teeth)

I see your (fucking adorable btw) pawn Checkmates fankids and raise you monarch butterfly Checkmates fankid.

Her name is Viceroy and she's Kinger and Queenie's gay ass hacker daughter that they had before The Horrors. She misses her parents, Tails. She misses them a lot.

AUTH - All that I ask is, keep those empty frames.

AUTH - If nobody’s in them, then no one is to blame.

PANSY - For your self-portraits, sign another name...

PANSY - Well, who should I be then, if I’ll never be the same?

Yeah, we have two Authority fictives. Yeah, they're dating each other btw. Cringe is dead :) Anyways,
