Castlevania: Nocturne is out, and I want to thank everyone for giving the show a chance! It's been an absolute blast working on Nocturne and seeing all the hard work and passion that went into it. Everyone worked their butts off!! Ahahaha I had more to say but I'm too full of emotions to process words well ;;^ w ^

Anywho here's a bonus doodle of these dorks <3

#castlevania #castlevania nocturne #netflix #powerhouse animation #work stuff #fanart #richter belmont #annette #maria renard #edouard #for real tho #thank you for watching the show #i couldn't have asked for a better team to work with #this is legit the first job i've ever liked in my life #it's been so much fun despite being a lot of work #and i'm always learning something new

ugh I reallllyyyyy didn’t want to get in on this but like

The assumption that all atheists are people who’ve “never touched a religious text in their life” basically says to me you have a specific view of atheists and have probably not known many.

Most of them grew up IN the system and DO know the text and THAT’S why they walk away. 

If you’re gonna make a whole post on ppl not using nuance with CR stuff right now the least you can do is use nuance yourself and not paint an entire group of people with a brush that TV taught you, or a bunch of white men into power *cough* Dawkins *cough* coopted a movement in a society where to not believe in god is synonymous with being immoral.

So just keep in mind, the representation of people without faith that you see on TV or twitter isn’t the majority and 9 times out of 10 isn’t correct at all.

thanks ^_^

#I learned a new word the other day #apatheism or something #b/c there isn't a word for what I am #but like I know that people who don't know what I am will paint me with the nuance-less brush of #oh you're atheist or whatever #but yeah #maybe also pick up on the nuance that Matt's putting down #that not all the Prime deities are the saammmme #can't paint them all with a brush too #just funny that so many people saying I want to be free to not worship anything rn brings so much ridicule #I'm sad ppl are taking a really fascinating complicated take on gods and such is being turned into this stupid fight #just BREATHE please #yes I'm sub-blogging a little b/c I don't want to get into it #I just want ppl to keep in mind that some people out there are ppl too #sorry I don't mean to go off but it's a sensitive point for me #something I never talk about b/c of opinions like that out there #can't wait to see my follower count drop b/c this sorta thing always does T_T #I just wanna be me and make the world a better place isn't that enough #Tria rants

One of my favorite things about being in my early 20s is that I'm starting to understand that I can use things not for their intended purpose. When you're growing up, you get told what an object is and what its intended purpose is, and as a kid/teen, I just accepted all of it at face value. As a young adult it's finally clicking that I can simply do things a different way if it makes me happier. Sure, I was taught that you stand to take a shower, but there's nothing stopping me from just sitting if I don't feel like it, ya know? I might have always had my medication in the kitchen, but if I'm no longer remembering to take it, I can just move it somewhere where I can remember. You don't have to specifically store all food in the kitchen, you can have a little snack cart or snack station in another room.

The downside to finding out the various ways you can use objects is that you develop habits that would probably go on an r/relationships post where everyone says you're a little freak.

#simon says #i just developed a new habit (it's too tmi to put here) and I just know that it's some weird shit #it works and it makes me feel better so I'm gonna keep doing it #but it's some shit that would end up viral where everyone would go 'yo op you should break up with them thats weird' 😔 #i was just thinking about this though because every week or so I learn that I can just do what I want #because there's no fucking object use police I can do what I want #i HIGHLY suggest getting into this habit. if you find something annoying or frustrating you can just do it differently #'I hate washing the dishes because my legs hurt from standing for so long' you can bring a chair and sit or you can break it up into chunks #like on the one hand I'm learning this because I have autism and a plethora of other mental disorders #and it's FINALLY clicking that I can self accommodate whenever and however I so please #I'm just sorta learning that if doing something makes me feel better/happy/gets the job done to do that thing #even if it requires using an object in an odd way #hell there's even some little things I've been playing with #for example: my whole life we sorta just lifted blinds only about halfway up #just sorta how we did it ya know #well recently I decided I wanted more natural light in the sunroom/my office so I wouldn't have to turn on the lamp #and I lifted the blinds all the way up to the very top #and honestly?? it fucking rules. the room looks nicer; i get natural light; i can see the forest out back and it's quite calming and nice #like for ages I just never thought about doing that because it just never occurred to me that I could #i just always put blinds about halfway up because that's about how high blinds do in my household #another little one I learned is that I can just... wash my hair #sometimes when I get too depressed or if my body doesn't need a shower but my hair is greasy #I just shove my head under the bathtub facet and wash my hair #it's just a small thing but for years if my hair needed to be washed I would just take a full shower #now I just fix my greasy hair. bc greasy hair is a huge ick for me but sometimes my body is still clean or im too tired to fully shower #like there's nothing stopping me from doing that and it doesn't hurt anyone. it's just a way of bathing that I wasn't taught #but yeah those are some recent examples of me learning I can just... do stuff differently #the free will is kicking in babes and it has decided I love finding ways to use things differently #it's why im doing a bg3 run where I just press loot all no matter what and use whatever I can in odd ways #anyways I might delete this later might not who knows

Programming is so fun whaatt the hell

I even enjoy the rabbit holes I fall down trying to learn something new/solve a problem; there's so much vocabulary I don't know so I end up looking for a solution and then needing to search "what does [funky coding word] mean" every few mins LOL

And the flow is just so nice once I understand what Im doing! You get into a groove n you're just typing code for hours while listening to music or a podcast or whatever aaaahhh

#I'm entirely new to everything so its all super exciting!! #ive started learning c-sharp for game development.. but I love how many languages there are to learn #feels like there's always something new I can do/learn with programming #will I ever run out of fun?? #Im almost certain any programmer reading this is thinking 'enjoy this excitement while it lasts..' LMAO but I am and I WILL #feli thoughts #codeblr #programming #csharp #game development #game dev

I really like your comic. Out of curiosity, what are your art inspirations?

that's a really good question with a slightly difficult answer because i tend to absorb bits and pieces of any media i like into my art style lol

(this got a little long, so answer under the cut)

if i go far back enough, i think my first real taste of comics as a medium was Cassandra Jean's graphic novel adaptations of Miss Peregrine

(images copied from her announcement of the second book)

looking back on it now, the overall style is loose and sketchy, but still readable (which are not necessarily words i'd use for my own style lmao) but there's the use of value and solid black that i still strive for. the style is also very manga-esque, but i definitely picked up a few things on drawing faces and action from these books

(her more recent style is a lot cleaner and a lot more graphically complex, but there's still an emphasis on interesting, readable shapes)

there's also Peter Nevins, who did the original cover for the Hadestown concept album (and the cover for the NYTW recording? correct me if i'm wrong). he also did a few covers for Anaïs Mitchell's other works

(i actually drew a piece based on that second cover a few years ago)

he primarily works in linocut prints, which is a medium that kinda forces you to think in terms of value. while i mostly use the stuff he's done for Anaïs Mitchell as an example, i'm also fond of the original work on his shop

over the years though, Drawfee has probably been the most consistent source of inspiration? it feels a little weird to call them that, especially considering the fact most people know them as a comedy show, but i've been using their speed draw videos as background noise for ages now

i'm really fond of the atmosphere that they've created with their channel, and it's been so fun watching and growing in art skill alongside them (and sometimes having my vocab for the week be utterly destroyed by one of their bits)

there's definitely way more people i could name (CanisAlbus and asmeesh here on tumblr) and a huge pile of webcomic artists (Tracy Butler, Meg Syverud, Sarah Webb, Petra Nordlund—there's so many) but this post is already unreadable so i'll stop there lol

thank you for the ask, and thanks for reading Outsiders :D!!

#piano sounds #searching my mind palace for a good answer to this question lmao #i've taken little bits and pieces from the styles of a lot of artists over the years #(not even mentioning my friends. which. hi. i'm eating your art always <3) #but i always think it's good to learn from artists you look up to #see how their process works and what parts of their style you think work for you #even just to test yourself a little bit and try something new

My darling Niece wants to be Dolores for her school’s Book week! (I’m not sure they do this outside Australia), It’s a themed event to encourage reading, and on the last day all the kids dress up in costumes as various characters from books (characters from comics, TV, and movies all count too because 1. most popular medias generally have book tie in’s for kids and 2. They’re kids, the point is to have fun!) and walk in a small parade for all the parents and teachers to coo and awe over~

It was a particular favourite of mine growing up, I've made a Minecraft Steve head, a Harry Potter wand and styled an Elsa wig for their previous years, but this year I’m going hard! I really enjoyed Encanto myself and I couldn’t be more delighted by her choice in character this year, so Unkie Kens pulling out all the stops and I'm teaching myself how to make the whole thing from scratch! and yah’ll get to watch me fumble and stumble my way through it ╰(*°▽°*)╯

#encanto dolores #encanto #dolores #dolores madrigal #sewing #wip #okkennymay #dolores cosplay #'ken #'kens #I'm still quite inexperienced with sewing but I really love it #I learn something new with everything I make #I love making things for my nieces and nephews because I get to be the Unkie I always wanted to have <3 #One day we shall cosplay together me and my little minions #Book week is a great way to practise costume making~ #My nephew wants a Venom mask bless him #You got it lil man

[biblically-accurate-dca]

Your headcanon about Moon being in charge of the animatronics' "nap time" is biblically accurate!! (to the unused content that is but still!👍)

i pride myself on my canon compliance B)

it's also such an interesting tidbit tho?? there seems to be a lot of conflict for what moon's backstory and purpose actually is in the games vs the books..

cause the books say moon being it's own entity was a "glitch" that they couldn't remove and that they were actively preventing it from coming out even before the virus infected everything... but then the games have all these small things like the daycare's nighttime mode, moon's overwhelming presence in parts & service, and whatever vanny is using it for that imply that moon is intentional and possibly even more important that sun is???

it's all so confusinggg... especially now with eclipse officially added to the mix @ _ @

#ask #i love sb's unused content it's my favorite thing ever and somehow i'm always learning something new about it #it's genuinely my favorite game of the series at this point.... there's just so much to learn and explore #despite the very large amount of problems it has it's still very special to me simply due to how much potential it has #it was overly ambitious and that's why it failed.. but that's also why i love it so much

[gideonisms]

I always feel like my viewpoints are so vague because there's so much information to hold in my brain at once. I really admire people who can pick one theoretical lense with which to analyze books much less live their lives. idk there is just so much to know but the more you know the more there is it's a real problem

#also like. some of this is the fact that #well not to get into my personal life but i trusted one viewpoint absolutely for the first like 18 years of my life then spent the next #decade discovering new ways i was wrong and new information i wasn't taught and like it just makes it hard to trust myself #it's not always a bad thing it's not like all of it was traumatic or something it's just like there's a lot to learn! #i always read people's political theory like hm that sounds pretty good but idk #unless it's something that's just obviously cruel or that i can google and find a simple answer like #we can agree dinosaurs existed and rocks are very old and life should be somewhat better for the majority of people #well i mean clearly we can't all agree on those things i'm just saying certain concepts are a bit more obvious than others

[loverboybrightsideghost]

i really do love practicing 🎻

#i'm in music school so now it's a much more significant source of my already very significant fears #but practicing only feels stressful when i don't do it enough and i'm trying to 'catch up' #some weeks fly past me like hurricanes and i get to my lesson and i can't say i've made any progress and that fucks me up #and i don't think that's ever going away- like i'll always have weeks like that cuz everyone has bad days and bad weeks #from time to time #but when i plan correctly (which is becoming more and more the norm for me) my practicing is something im really proud of :) #i have a System. i didn't do very well before i had it and i would die without it now. #i get excited about learning! i get excited having realizations abt things to change or work on when i practice! #it feels experimenty a lot of the time and i like it!!! #i have a lot of catching up to do in terms of comparing myself to others but i'm not here for them i'm here for me #i will do my best and i will learn from others of course but my goals are to make my Me better first and worry abt other people later #i won't lose sight of that #<- and when it doesn't feel experimenty it can be calming to just be like okay ik what i need to do now just. Practice. Repeat. #i mean music is a fucking rollercoaster and sometimes you are at the bottom and i hate that but it comes w the territory #sometimes you're just Stuck but you do get past it and in those moments i just try to think back to previous times ive felt like that #ive felt horribly shitty before and gotten through it and come out the other side slightly better! #life is like that i think #anyways. hashtag iris loves music and being a musician 🙄 nothing new over here hehe

[lisbonsteresa]

oh it's horrible; i love it

#tm #this is SO #because from lisbon's point of view this is....let's say strange i guess #nothing's really changed for her? yes she has (they have but he's not thinking like that right now) this dangerous risky job #but she always has; there's always been 'a new train every day' and they've dealt with them all; they'll deal with this one too #so yes of course she wants to try and reassure him but it's not as major to her as it is to him #*and also she's been very patient and understanding and hasn't put any expectations or pressure on their future #(i'm sure she HAS thoughts on it obviously but she's been the one reminding him to take things as they come #'right here it's good. it's very very good.') #meanwhile jane is.....for so long jane wasn't sure if he'd HAVE a future; he wasn't sure if he'd deserve one #and then blue bird and everything that came after it and it's been wonderful and he's been trying to take it one day at a time #but it's like once he let himself imagine a future for them; for himself he was immediately hit by the full reality of how tenuous it is #he's always known they have dangerous jobs but knowing that in a pre and post blue bird world are two very different things #now he has this; he has them; and he also knows that every time they get a phone call from abbott #there's a chance he might lose the most important person in the world to him just after learning he's the most important person to her #just after they finally started something together and then what he does later this ep it's just #once you get what you wanted most what would you do to protect it (because what kind of future would he have without her) #(and then failing that (in a few episodes) what would you do to grant yourself some semblance of peace of mind?) #but this kills me because he delivers the line in a kind of teasing way? he does not let on how nervous he really is #(or what he might be starting to plan) 'i made the decision not to tell you because i was worried that it would come between us' LIKE #he tried broaching the subject before (albeit not in a way that she could very easily understand) and it went nowhere #'are we really gonna work for the fbi for the rest of our lives?' 'it's who i am jane' 'i know' #he's terrified of what might happen but he's also terrified to bring it up because what if that drives a wedge in their relationship #what if he ruins it himself without any outside issue being to blame is that a self fulfilling prophecy back to the fear that kept him from #telling her how he felt during s6 #so instead he holds back just how much he's spiraling until....and then he just CAN'T anymore and he has to get away #(and then lisbon's almost blindsided because yes she knew he was worried but THIS worried? to the point he won't even hear her arguments?) #GOD it's so so good it's the wooooorst i'm eating it up

[raveartts]

I still don't know what i'm doing with her stupid design T_T

#raveartts #oc #i post my ocs so rarely i can't even remember if i had a specific tag for it #ughjdkfgjks okay but like. it's a pretty design kind of? it varies drawing to drawing tbh #i always wanted something princess-y and lolita when i first drafted the design #but there's an entirely different character in my head here and idk if that aesthetic works with it #and now i want to lean more magical girl. which is....even worse #i still don't know if i should change the hair or perhaps the dress??? #the shoes definitely but i have to learn to like. draw/design shoes first O_o #i think a large issue is just that i'm trying to make a design that shows little skin and a loose silhouette #like cutthroat but not nearly as bad #i initially wanted to have a long jacket over the dress but that just was NOT working #perhaps i need to narrow down her character more before trying to redesign #i'm still attached to my initial aesthetic preferences for it even if they don't fit thoughhhhh #AHSDGFGHJASHGFJS I WAS GONNA START MY NEW SCHOOL I'M PROCRASTINATING AGAINSNNBNSDFBAKSJDHGFDHJ #and i wanted to reread Secret Alliance and finally draw fanart for it too 😔 #i guess i should just do ONE lesson first. i could probably speedrun english bc like. english is easy lmao i don't need to learn anything #rave.characters

[sophia-codes]

random project no.1

Ok, maybe I have "finished" my project for this week. OK, maybe it isn't super finished but, I already have a basic functionality, and I liked it.

It's just a simple website where you can consult your elo on league of legends, leaguecheck.sophias.codes, maybe in the future I'll add the feature to view the match history idk.

Although it's simple I like it :)

Idk, I think that I spent too much time to do too little, Idk why but I have this feeling.

I used nextjs, react and tailwindcss, I learned a lot from this project.

The responsivity isn't bad, but could be better.

Also learned how to do a night mode switch, a feature that all my next websites will have.

That's It O_o

This album is soooo dawn good, I love lofi hip-hop sooo much omg. My fav tracks are "Infomercials & Heavy Eyelids", "Wii" and "Goomba", in this order. I'm thinking in making a post for my main blog about this tmrw, nothing too extravagant.

#Its always fun to see how we always start slow and confuse when learning something new; but a few days into It we get a lot better #I'm trying to stop playing league(at least a little (I'm too addicted)); but; making an app for league doesn't count #codeblr #league of legends #Spotify

Literaly me today

#shoutout to Marc Brunet for somehow making a tutorial that actually helped me #I watched so many of them from different artists and none actually helped me #so I'm doing the 1 year drawing challenge thingy #and just so happened that today I went on to the “draw a manequin” step #so I follow the link to this tutorial and watched it #and it's just the same thing everyone is teaching that never helps me #after it's done (I was drawing alongside him) I thought that #“yeah of course I can follow along” #“I can always follow along but if I want to draw something by myself later it looks terrible again” #so I didn't think much of it and just assumed it won't help me #so then I went to draw a new thing #and of course I try to use the “new” technique I just learned #and it works???? #like none of the tutorials which a lot of them is very similar worked #but this one that somehow worked #and he even said in the video “if you do it this way it'll click” #and I remember thinking that it won't #that it never does #but it actually clicked somehow #I'm still in shock #man anatomy is easy now #also the drawings I added are litteraly latest manequin before I watched the tutorial #and the first one I did by myself after watching it #it's like day and night #don't mind the pose it just so happen to fit the meme #marc brunet #anatomy #meme #my text post #my post
