also turns out koco are way bigger than I drew them here but I didn’t realize until way too late so ehh whatevs. they’re cute in pocket size ..

#sonic frontiers #sonic fanart #sonic frontiers fanart #sonic the hedgehog #miles tails prower #knuckles the echidna #amy rose #sonic koco #i love the massive extended sonic cast but also the decision to have frontiers focus just on sonic's closest friends was sooo sweet .... #added to the kind of lonely atmosphere a lot + just a lot of rly cute moments w sonic and his besties .. my lil heart #artbytheherd #also hey i've been trying out a new art style! it's made it much easier for me to finish stuff recently i really like it #turns out it's easier for me to do quick messy lineart when it's ms-paint-ish looking pixels! #can't wait to do more stuff like this it's so fun to loosen up a bit and do quick cute lil drawings like this for once #been making animated gifs in this style too .. wanna make so many more

Yellowjackets Week -- Day 4 -- Favorite Quote

There are so so so many quotes from this show that I absolutely love, but, to me, this quote is the main anti-thesis of the show. None of them are ever shown the compassion they need to heal (until Lisa, until the compound, until they can be free) but in the end, it doesn't matter, because, as Natalie says, "Forgiveness...it's a nice idea." But that's all it is to them, an idea. They can never be forgiven nor forgive each other. If only, if only...

quite truthfully my very personal highly self indulgent interpretation of the life series & it as a timeloop specifically is like. entirely 10000% shaped by orvs metanarrative so if you want access to this specific interpretation that like maybe 2 or 3 total people globally hold you will unfortunately have to read 551 chapters of a korean webnovel that only exists in full via awkward fan translation. but it sounds tempting does it not

#sorry whenever i try to bridge the gap of explaining even a modicum of my interpretation of the life series timeloop #i just turn into a shameless shill for orv LOL #im just.. very very attached to the concept of the watchers and how they are a direct analogy for us as fans of the series #& the idea of us (me! & you reading this!) being responsible for all the events that transpire..death as entertainment! tragedy as beauty! #and just. the horrible wonderful messy thing that is the act of storytelling as a preservation of life #we live on through story......... can a watcher continue to exist even if they have nothing to watch...... #though they try to paint themselves as villainous as story gluttons as puppeteers and masterminds and bloodthirsty monsters #though they try to run away to drown themselves in the story to watch and watch and watch to become something else for just a little while #its just... #its all only ever because they loved the story.... they loved the story so much they brought it to life... #who else will be there to record their victories? their deaths? every little mundane thing? #who else will ascribe meaning to the minutiae-- to the things that were never supposed to hold meaning in the first place? #hand in hand together we make a tiny world #we watch it die over and over again #and we watch it slowly come back to life....... #maybe we can feel alive this way too....

provocative puritan posing (inspired by this painting)

[id: a digital painting of thomas fairfax sitting at a small table in an interior. he is wearing seventeenth-century military garb, and is resting one hand on the table and holding a glove with the other. his legs are crossed in a manner which looks slightly (though unintentionally) suggestive. end id.]

#fairfax #artwork #if you saw me reblog this the other day you were witness to the exact moment i knew i had to draw this #mostly just because the bloke is wearing a cuirass in the original painting but also because i am gay. we know this #this is very messy i was going to paint over it properly but i actually quite like the effect when it is very sloppy like this so here it is #dont look too closely or you will see just how messy it is. i didnt stay within the lines at all my bad #i am quite happy with it though! partly because i think i captured the way he looks (in my head) and partly because i drew a background for #once. i never ever draw backgrounds and i wasnt even intending to for this one but i started it and then kept going for no reason #obviously not an impressive background by any means. but a background nonetheless :-) #anyway i hope you are all well my friends! i am home for christmas so i am hoping to get lots of drawing done if i get my act together #i love you all very much. look at the puritan. look at him. you want to look at him

I know Sonya's feelings for Nikolai are much more complicated and complex and messy than "pure unyielding love UwU" and everyone's entitled to their interpretations and headcanons but the "Sonya realized she actually never loved Nikolai" attitude does give me the "True Love must be Always Pure, Stable and Healthy UwU" vibes

#I don't even insist that her feelings for Nikolai were True Love (although I do believe she was in love with him for many years #and saw their relationship as something very precious to her; imo that's why she clings to it so desperately #when natalya demands her to write the letter because as an orphan she doesn't have much and now the only dear thing is also taken away #from her (im goingg mental)) but it's just let the characters be messy in their feelings!! let them be delusional!! #it honestly feels so much more resonating and interesting #and I've recently come across a hc that went like that ''sonya was actually disgusted with nikolai's attention #but convinced herself she was in love with him because it meant a stable and secure place in the rostovs household'' #and while i have nothing personal against this person's hc their entitled to interpret the text however they want #it's just so astounding to me that by removing sonya's feelings for nikolai this person (perhaps inadvertently) painted their relationship #the way countess saw it (while being a sonya's fan)

ok as an artist i personally find traditional painting to be. really really annoying. like. i do not have the patience for it and i just find it to be really frustrating to set up and actually do and i end up not liking the results. i find that there's little room for mistakes and trying to fix them usually ends up with me making 50 other ones, paints can be so inconsistent and having to rely on availability and certain brands to continue making the paint is really inconvenient, not to mention expensive. spending a bunch of time trying to mix the right shade of paint, only for it to go down a completely different shade of colour and not being able to do anything about it is so frustrating as someone who likes consistency and having things just, y'know, not change colour as soon as it dries. plus, they all use different chemicals and can go off really easily or change textures and i am just not ok with having all my materials having an expiration date like food. lead and graphite pencils just don't do that and they can last for years, they're more reliable. every paint is drastically different and trying to find the right one is not only time consuming but, again, expensive, and i don't even see the point in experimenting when most of my materials end up not even getting used if i don't like using them. plus, i'm just.... really impatient. waiting for paint to dry sucks and is why i much prefer digital or just drawing something because i don't need to wait for anything, it just works. and then when i do want to take my time and work slowly for a better result, it dries too fast. it's kinda hellish trying to balance that time, especially considering how inconsistent paints are.

i like to use guidelines when doing art and i find painting straight onto a canvas to be really tricky because there's a lack of direction for me to actually paint. i'm at a complete loss at what to do when i pick up a brush because i can't map it out first without risking screwing up the paint. there's just so many things to keep track of and so much wet paint to avoid and i just do not have the mind for it. putting colours on a canvas and praying that it works just isn't it for me and requires a discipline that i just don't wanna involve myself with. painting is also just like... really exhausting and kinda painful. i got some pretty bad back issues and my arms tire and get sore easily and quickly when i'm standing in front of a canvas. it's a really physical activity for me and i just don't find something to be very fun to do at all when it's physically hurting me. i know drawing on a canvas has this issue too, which is why i prefer sketchbooks. sitting down and drawing something that doesn't break my entire spine every time i do it is much more preferrable than questioning if i should go to the doctor every time i make a brushstroke, lol

that's not to say that there's nothing i like about painting though! i can paint simple little things, and i like doing that. i like mixing colours with a palette knife and i find it fun and even a little relaxing. i painted some cute little chibi cardboard cutouts of the mario brothers one time and i found that to be really fun and i think i'd like to do that again! but apart from that, i just do not have the patience for it. i love the look of traditional paintings and i find many to be really beautiful, but i could never get into actually doing it myself because i hate the process. i'm content with just sketching and doing digital stuff because that's more fun to me and less stressful of a process to do. it's fun, it allows for more mistakes, it's easier to build up layers of shading and lines, not to mention using building up a figure with guidelines is super helpful with visualising what i want it to look like, and i can just erase something if i don't want it there or want to change something. it just makes sense to me.

tl;dr i dont like painting because it's inconsistent, expensive, time-consuming, directionless, frustrating and it makes my back hurt really bad. i'll just stick to drawing stuff :)

#vent #artist vent #i hate painting #i hate it so much and i just cannot understand it nor do i have the patience for it #i seriously had a crack at it and i just find it to be so annoying #there's so much preparation and i'd much prefer just whipping out a pencil and eraser and scribbling something down #to be fair though i do enjoy other art mediums that require more preparation #i find crafts to be fun and i really like working with air dry clay #using clay is just creating a little creature and i really quite like it a lot #making little cardboard guys is fun if not a bit tricky sometimes because my hands are so big compared to the tiny bits of carboard im usin #but it's very fun and cardboard is easy to get #clay is not so easy to get but you can get a lot of it and make many things with it #the only things i really dont like about clay is fingerprints and the fear of having your art literally explode when you fire it up #but other than that? fun! #painting? not fun! #paint is so messy and i don't like having goopy stuff getting stuck on me and all over my fingers all the time funnily enough #if i bump into something (which is very likely for me because i am clumsy) then oouuguh there goes all the paint its everywhere now #oh my god you know what i hate the most. i hate oil paints. i hate them so much. #the smell gives me bad headaches and makes me feel faint and it's hard to clean and dispose of and it's just more chemicals to deal with #it's just acrylic but more annoying #i don't think it's edible either which is. frustrating #it's also harder to clean out if you get stained with it (which is very likely because paint is messy) #i just dislike oil materials in general. they smell weird and they do not wash off. i still have oil pastel stains on one of my favourite- #-shirts despite the fact that it has been washed multiple times. and it took several days and so much fucking scrubbing to get- #-it out of my nails and off my hands completely. actual hellscape. #i know graphite and lead pencils would never betray me like this #pencils are so reliable and i love them <3 #pencils and drawing equipment in general are just more reliable and don't expire or develop inconsistent textures (except erasers for some- #-reason) and they don't! hurt! my! back! #like i'm over here needing to do the riker maneuver to sit down after i paint my back hurts so bad

working at an art store is like. the best and worst thing i’ve ever done. every weekend i am tested. people come in buying so much paint and canvases and i ask what are you going to paint and they almost always show me pictures of their stuff OR if i’m really lucky, they want their stuff framed and i can see the real deal! i’m so locked in to oil, it’s really fun to talk to other painters about their mediums of choice. like, i havent tried acrylics in probably two years? and i’ve certainly only gotten better at painting since then, i should revisit it! or folks buying beads and jewellery making stuff. i’d like to try that :)

#i used to make bracelets and earrings and shit with my mama when i was a kid #we have soooo many beads etc at work it’s insane. hundreds #i’m also thinking about things like: Posca pens and gold foil appliqué #i’d like to get back into collaging and multi-media paintings #which are a bit harder w oil because it’s so finicky and takes so long to fully 100% dry #even if you can touch it and no paint comes off that doesn’t mean the oils are bound and set #so if you add other stuff the pigments can bleed or run #i just love oil so much……expensive and messy though #nice acrylics would be fun to mess around w again. something thick
