#I'm too much of a perfectionist

[basil-sketches]

I sing to the god with the three-pronged rod

And the whiskers wild and free

That I've got a man with a beard and a tan

And a passion for the sea 🎶

But it was just a kiss. How is that your darkest secret?

It’s what the kiss exposed.

PapyrACE 💚💜 Happy Valentine's Day!

#DDoodles #UT #Papyrus #AroAce Papyrus Supremacy #Lol #I'm actually really delighted to see how much aroace positivity there is around the skelebros :D #I was a little on the worried side since y'know - Sans especially. I've been in the fandom for a while lol I'm Aware #But genuinely there's so much lovely energy towards the bros being aroace which I - unsurprisingly - am very inclined towards lol #Me constantly: And you're ace! And you're ace! And you're ace! Ace for everybody! #I'm tongue-in-cheek about my Projecting Constantly lol but I do try to base my headcanons on The Actual Text haha #I think Papyrus is kind of a no-brainer lol he literally turns you down if you go on a date with him that's pretty textual #And you have the option to completely avoid going on a date with him and he still clarifies platonic affection! #I like him very much haha <3 #As for Sans I know some of it stems from my Handplates filter lol - their codependency points to an interesting interplay with romance #I'll start thinking about the Vargas Dating Sim again if I keep on that train of thought tho lol #But to me it feels more than just ''He's too busy'' or w/e - Feels Different #It's all speculation anyway haha - I'm glad you like how I draw Papyrus! :D He's the sweetest boy and I love him!! #Wanted to try something a bit Extra hehe ♪ I keep wanting to make animatics and the like! #Storyboards - animations if I can swing them lol - but I'm very impatient :P And perfectionistic >.> #So have something a bit more sloppy and silly :) It's good practice for me! #All told it wasn't too bad! :D I had fun making it and I'm fairly pleased ♪ #Hope you enjoy hehe <3 Happy Valen's! :D

new york city crocodile :)

me and @devilsrecreation were talking about how there's no tamka art! i took matters into my own hands even though i'm not really a drawer lol. if this is the first art of tamka on the internet, i am very proud to be of service, he deserves it!

💫 sketches + references under the cut!

#if you couldn't tell the snout was really hard #whatever i tried looked goofy so i went for something flatter #especially considering this was my first time drawing a crocodile EVER #i'm too much of a perfectionist to say he's perfect but i like how he turned out! #the grin was hard too #i think his expression looks like pua #which was unintentional but i love the Pua Is Tamka's Dad hc so i didn't try to change it in the end #the lion guard #tlg #tlg crocodiles #tlg outlanders #crocodile #crocodiles #crocodile art #tlg art #fanart #tamka #the lion guard tamka #tlg tamka #first art post! :) #my art #spinnysocks

not even gonna tag this properly bc i don't wanna get Involved but i do have some Thoughts i need to get out into the void so here we go

(aaa quick edit: CW for mention/discussion of Boothill leaks)

#today's gone Badly and i'm upset but instead of venting abt it i'm gonna channel that energy into doing a bit of tag rambling abt Boothill #well. less abt Him and more abt uh. self-analyzing my anxiety surrounding contributing to fandoms. he's just today's catalyst #like. i know it's mostly a me thing. i'm hypersensitive to criticism and very conflict avoidant + socially anxious + perfectionistic etc. #so I'm the one that keeps myself from posting more stuff out of fear of being criticized or called-out for what i've made #bc inevitably Someone's gonna see it and think its OOC or a problematic take or they'll misread my intent. etc etc what have you #but like. that's inevitable. there's no way to communicate every single thing with all of the nuance required to avoid misunderstandings #and other times it's not a misunderstanding it's just a difference of opinions and that's Fine!! there's no accounting for personal taste #there's no accounting for several things actually. taste‚ bias‚ lore-knowledge‚ differing levels of chronic-online-ness‚ etc #so this isn't me complaining abt the state of fandom culture (although i do think. sometimes. ppl take shit a bit too seriously) #but anyways all of this is mostly just anxiety-fueled. it's not like i very often actually even receive negative feedback or anything #if anything ppl tend to tell me that i'm overthinking it and killing my own fun and worried that my stuff is more OOC than it is #which like. yeah. Yeah u right :) but that's just the way that i am! always losing the idgaf war i suppose #anyways what's Boothill got to do w this ur wondering. well. i've been thinking abt the quickly emerging concept that he's illiterate. #and it just. has me feeling a lot of ways. and watching ppl disagree over it has me feeling some Bad ways. bc it's def a loaded topic! #if you'll pardon the pun there. and i don't rlly have anything new to add other than that i'm conflicted abt it. #like yeah i saw the leaks days ago. of him mentioning 'not hitting the books' much as a child when we ask him why he sends voice messages #or voice Transcriptions ig. ykwim. and like. *braces for impact* ...i liked it? like. it doesn't feel right to call it endearing #i'm not trying to infantilize him. ok that's not the right word either but ugh. you know? what i mean?? who am i kidding even i don't know #it's not quite right to say that it feels like Representation either. but it's something close i guess #as a southern person myself who didn't receive a 'complete' education due to factors that weren't to do with my intelligence #the concept of seeing him as a capable force to be reckoned with and respected who also happens to have not received much formal education #i like that. i do. but there's so many issues w it at the same time. like. as i said‚ being southern myself has me Wary of the way Hoyo is- #writing him. as well as of the way that the fandom is taking the bits of his lore and running away w them. and i'm Very aware of how ppl- #will see a southern character and be All Too Eager to agree that they're lacking intelligence based on our Redneck™ stereotype #sigh. and before we even go too far with this. it's not even confirmed that hes completely illiterate. which is a valid criticism i've seen #there's Multiple reasons that could make him prefer voice to text. but regardless. i'm just worried that ppl will misconstrue my intentions #like. example: that edit i made the other day of him saying 'no thanks i can't read'. wasn't me playing into the stereotype of- #'haha dumb country boy can't read!' it was. in my eyes. something he'd say as a joke to make light of a potential insecurity #like. i think there's far more depth to Boothill's character if ppl could look past the surface. and i dont wanna contribute to the problem #but sometimes ppl Will have stereotypical traits and i wish the same could apply to characters as long as it's done Thoughtfully.

[imtrashraccoon]

Help! I want to draw more characters but I've already drawn the two skeletons I simp over!

Please, I am desperate for help... My brain needs serotonin that only cute skellies giving positive affirmations can provide!

#raccoons rambles #lol what even is this? #i'd draw only nightmare but his tentacles give me trouble sometimes #edge is fun but i physically can't picture him in my blob style #he's a tall boi #i suppose i could try my hand at draw some of the bad sans'? #or maybe another oc? #no...i'm not procrastinating finishing another siren drawing at all. #bones are hard to draw! #or maybe i'm too much of a perfectionist...

[askdannysroleswapau]

Hey Gumball! What's your relationship with Rob? Like, are you two nemesis (nemesi? Nemesies?) Friends?

not fully satisfied with the word bubble placement on the second one but its late and i'm tired so i'm just gonna leave it lol

#i should really get back to writing... #i'm far too much of a perfectionist when it comes to my art so it always takes me FOREVER to get anything done lol #meanwhile witting comes so naturally to me that even when i feel like i'm totally bullshitting everything it turns out pretty decent #ANYWAY #im goig to bed naow. ill post some more stuff tomorrow but for now....... i slep. #the amazing world of gumball #tawog #danny's roleswap au #drsau #voidball #voidball drsau #ask box

[meya-lily]

Here have some shitty drawings I did.

#they were supposed to be shittier but I'm too much of a perfectionist #elim garak #star trek ds9 #cardassians #also i don't have a tablet to draw on #so you get to look at hand drawn

[theslowesthnery]

the forbidden christmas bauble

er i mean i saw this comment on youtube in response to this remix

and i couldn’t resist

#elden ring for blacklist #hnery's art #miquella #miquella the unalloyed #i have literally no idea how to render most things actually #and i didn't want to spend too much time on this so it's pretty messy #but i'm trying to learn to not be a perfectionist

[lyril]

i feel like not enough people use writing fanfiction as a way to like... study and learn? outside of it being more practice and things. like sure, this is for entertainment first and foremost, but for me keeping the writing tone and characterization as accurate as i can to then transform it more into a writing style to create something good just ends up in me like, intensely studying the source material. i don't ever go off of memory i fucking break that shit down, study dialogue patterns and write down literally everything the characters i'm writing for say, observe the structure and themes and tone of whatever i'm looking at, watch and analyze things until i'm sick of them and come out a better writer because of that hands-on observation and because i simply fucking hate when other people go off of memory while writing characters i like ❤️

#talk #like what better way to study something you like than to work within it's bounds for the most part? #i can't enjoy something if the vibes are too off... if it doesn't have the same level of cartoonishness... #same reason why a lot of fan characters are uninteresting to me #if i can't make things look straight out of the show i don't see a point #i've become such a stickler for canon EXCEPT for when i think i can do better (often) #sometimes i definitely need to make vibe adjustments but i can't imagine straying too far from things unless i'm being artsy on purpose #definitely a lot of reslly great more transformative stuff don't get me wrong. lots of ways to do that right #cus i think something being really cool can easily outweigh accuracy #just as everyone has their own style #but for the most part i like to color within the lines #it's weird though because i'm always a lot looser when looking at other people's drawings and things #like i love a good shitpost but for some reason writing just isn't made for that to me #i just feel like for a lot of people it's more just playing with dolls than creating art #which is fine! but i'm too much of a perfectionist for it

[rotbtd-edits]

Things about me: I actually have several sets of edits in my drafts here already, but because the sets don't look aesthetically Right™ to me I have to edit more pics to balance out, and then it takes more time 😅

#random ramblings #explains why it takes me so long to post stuff #I'M VERY PERFECTIONIST OKAY :D #“is there too much of this one character? do the set match in colors?” #“this looks boring i need more balance in this set”

[talentforlying]

i have so truly given up on lighting-correcting nbc constantine caps at this stage in icon-making. lo, blue and yellow be upon ye.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #this is a lie of course i am too much of a perfectionist to stop fussing over lighting now. but god i can dream #making comic icons? sososososo satisfying. the art is beautiful. the colors are divine #making live action icons? i'm biting the cinematographer square on the ear and not letting go until they put down the BLUE #WHY IS THE MILLHOUSE TABLE BLUE BITCH #i have a system and all but like. Why Must I have a system #edit: lighting correcting? color correcting. i have not slept

[zlobonessa]

actually i need to become ghost in tappeis house and start to bang in his walls at nights because if i have to frantically dig up reddit in attempt to find re zero names of vegetables for fic one more time again i will lose the last shreds of humanity left in me

#re zero #I'm way too much of perfectionist to conveniently forget about it but GOD i fucking hate it I'm sorry. #NAMES FOR TIME TOO ACTUALLY. GREEN-SUN? FUCK OFF. #absolutely hate when people decide to establish new names for things in their fantasy settings and come up with boring ass shit

[pixelatedraindrops]

And now I feel like my art isn't good enough...

I should've went with something more simple for his birthday...

ORZ

#pixel txt. #vent #literally feel like crying right now #why am i like this #the more I look at it the more it look like a giant mess... #I didn't know what I was doing at all ORZ .... #maybe the yakou art tired me too much... #at least that one looks good... #I should stay in my lane and do soft things and not ever bother with “cool” stuff again... #what hurts is that I KNOW I could've done better... #but I went the route I wasn't used to and now its too late to make another one... #when you know you could've done better and its too late....that feeling is awful... #I feel like I didn't do my best and that hurts me so much as an artist AND a perfectionist... #I just wanna crawl in a hole and perish #I feel like I let Yuma down...it was his birthday and I made that. #at least I made something...but I'm not happy with it...
