#like I just wanted the pretty artwork

[rhapsodyinprogress]

Goddamn, I only started looking at BG3 posts for the pretty art and headcanons, I was unprepared for the number of people a) completely unable to respect the boundaries of the voice actors - like, please don't trauma dump on them or tell them about your sex fantasies, the actors are real people and that's gross, c'mon b) completely unable to understand that, in a choice-based video game, your choices matter, and so treating the characters like shit will get you treated like shit? Like???? Every bg3 character has the capacity to be a great person or a terrible person based on your choices? Because it's fun to see what happens? Because it's a fucking game?!? It's not that deep? And c) holy shit if you don't like a particular character and someone is posting about why they DO you can just SCROLL PAST?!?. Just keep going, find the posts that speak you you and ignore the ones that don't, my God I am too old for this shit, lmfao.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #every time I think I want to participate in fandom I remember why I don't #(except the West Wing fandom you all are cool) #like I just wanted the pretty artwork #and to share my love of the broken and beautiful companions #is that so much to ask?!

and you may say to yourself: "my god! what have i done?" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful wife!" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful house!" and you may ask yourself: "well, how did i get here?"

Ive only got sv in the brain right now

#There honestly isnt a single character in sv i dont love to death oh my goooood theyre so good #Spoilers but the build up of each member of the e4 being revealed throughout the game and leaving one member as a complete mystery makes #The final reveal like 1000x funnier i lose my mind #art tag #pokemon #Iono and grusha never interact i think she would use him for clout #Theyre personalities are so different i would kill to see them interact tho #Geeta gives off such evil champion vibes sometimes she just says weird things. Im so glad she isnt actually hiding smth shes just like that #She said she wanted to visit my house. Dont do that maam #Gym leader iono #gym leader grusha #champion geeta #elite four rika #gym leader katy #nothing to say abt rika that hasnt been said. Hello #And katy???? Hi. So cute pretty. Her w a teddiursa is rly cute but her w an ursaring so so so cool #The rivals. Team star. The faculty. I want to talk abt every single character #Read over the tags grammar is very wonky today! Oops. Im not rewriting all of that tho #All these artworks couldve been independent posts but i drew them all in the same day so it feels right #I havent drawn for so long i just had like. A sudden boom and kept drawing #Ok thats all!!! Fav part of posting art is screaming in the tags #sv spoilers #chairwoman geeta #i forgot shes actually a chairwoman oops

about your last post: I totally understand where you’re coming from. I’m a Coast Salish artist and have published some art for my tribe but I’m terrified of posting it online for these reasons. I’ve considered a side blog but I’m not sure if it’s worth it :(

I wish I could give some sort of reassurance or advice or hypothetical way of handling it that i'm trying out that might help, but the truth is that I'm just as torn as you are on the subject of sharing traditional art and culture to a broad audience who might or might not respect and appreciate my culture ;o; I don't *want* to have to not share my artwork, but the way the internet is sometimes, it feels like it's better to only share my art amongst close friends/family members because there are so many non-native ppl out there who will do and say hurtful things because they cannot comprehend boundaries and respect for a protected culture that the government and churches and general public wanted to pick apart like carrion while hoping that the people that belonged to it would vanish and meld into society quietly.

#thinking and organizing my thoughts on this is so depressing for me. #bc unlike what a lot of racists think I want to share my art!! I enjoy telling ppl about my culture and about how I do formline art and- #-how I want to combine formline art with modern media so the two can mesh!! #but at the same time the amount of people who are willing to see my artwork as an aesthetic or commodity for them to just consume and then- #-treat me and other Indigenous artists like me as shit (all while consuming our culture or what they think is our culture) #it just makes me feel miserable. #it's very ironic how many ppl will use the excuse “I'm honoring your culture so it doesn't disappear\you're just being sensitive and greedy #all while consuming culture and stereotypes alike without forethought and refuse to listen to Indigenous ppl they are supposedly honoring. #ask box #this is a pretty heavy answer but if it's any consolation I guess I'm relieved that I'm not the only one struggling with this dilemma #cw racism #cw cultural appropriation

The fact that there's still people that think it's okay to repost artwork and say it's their art blows my mind.

#tried looking at a tag for a character and the first latest post is a pretty easily found artwork yet they're saying they drew it 💀 #did you draw it years ago and post it everywhere but here until literally today?...💀 #god...the urge to call everyone out that does this shit #i wish i wasn't so petrified of confrontation or i definitely would #just practice if you want to draw holyhell stop stealing others hard work #the same goes for writing jfc #if you don't feel you're good enough then practice idk anything but posting someone else's work #and those that post the art don't claim it's theirs but don't post a source? like? you clearly found it somewhere #okay i think i feel better now lolol #hf.rambles

I see a lot of people have made covers of the snippet of Everybody's Waiting (the new JO track)

I may do it too but at the same time I am hesitant given that I am 90% sure they won't see it (since everything else I'd ever made have never been noticed by them - Bojan's big share yesterday included) and if by chance it is getting seen I am not sure how I'd feel having the first thing noticed by them be just another cover

I am probably overthinking things again

#so here's the t in the tags (aka me ranting) #I have not felt great about my art or my contribution to the joker out and k��ärijä fandom recently #I have honestly felt like an art block is coming #the few things I have been able to create just doesn't feel good to me #and I don't get the same satisfaction of sharing it either #Ik I should be grateful for whatever faves and views it gets but I cannot help but feel underappreciated #which in turn doesn't make me feel motivated to make more #the last few days I have actually been more drawn to playing my guitar and writing songs than creating artwork #so that is what I've been doing #in that regard creating a little cover would maybe be fun #and yet I fear I'd fall into the same trap as with the art #that now I might make something to share with the fandom it has stakes #and in the end the stakes will be too high since I cannot help but compare what I make #and so I will lose interest in making music as well #honestly I feel kind of lost #I have had days I just stop working for half an hour to several hours #falling down an unproductive rabbit hole where I just stare out into the blue or at a youtube video #I don't want to be here #I want to love what I do and love sharing it with you again #but after a pretty productive and somewhat decent january #I now feel meh about it all #thank you for reading my tag novel #I will go now #micahs thoughts #micahs foolery

[teethgnashing]

i need to stop talking abt body image issues with people who don’t have a double chin

#it always just fills me with anger and jealousy and then with guilt and even more self hatred #about to say some truly selfish hateful shit i am aware is wrong and cruel which is why i’m saying it here —> #like oh my godddd im soooo sorry your family told you you needed to be a bit skinnier #you are extremely conventionally attractive and skinny with pretty hair and good clothes #people like you at a glance. people give you the fucking time of day #you have dated multiple people. multiple people have wanted to DATE you #i’m always the fucking outsider in these conversations because they’re always so… personal? #in that like. “oh i know im okay looking but my brain won’t let me think it” #like damn that sucks. i’m actually ugly and nobody will let me fucking forget it #but do tell me more about your pretty partner you love who fell in love with you instantly #i’ll be over here walking behind you realizing i’m twice your width #and wondering if there’s a way to put out a lifetime’s worth of artwork and creation so that i can get this stupid hopeless life over with #i will die unloved. i don’t even fucking care anymore #i just want to make some decent art people might like and be done with it all #chatter #sorry i need to get this off my chest Now so i can push my mood back up and not be snapping at people. im so good im so fine #i hate myself but thats a me issue. time to go have fun

[glitch-pep]

I tried to get out of my comfort zone for this one-

Skatepark chilling hours!

Even thief's need a break every once in a while.

The sky is under the cut, without any overlays.

#my art #my ocs #my oc's #my oc #digital art #digital drawing #digital artwork #digital illustration #charlie #I had NO IDEA where this drawing was going #Like I knew I wanted to do 3 things #1. Charlie in a skatepark #2. from a different perspective (it's nothing crazy but it still took me ages) #3. with an actual background #because I'm currently in my ✨forcing myself to draw backgrounds✨ era #At some point I just didn't like it but I couldn't pinpoint why #And then I added the leaves and the two black stripes #And I ended up really liking it because it looks like a dramatic movie scene- #So yeah I think it looks pretty good!

it is friday my dudes (little hearts added by @tazmiilly)

#sorryyyyyy for not posting ... please accept these as compensation #gravity falls #fiddleford mcgucket #artwork of the damned #tales of the wild zeep #ummmm ok context for the first one should be mostly self-explanatory #i purposefully left the person he's calling open to interpretation #however for the record i will say i am a 'fiddleford was divorced before he came to gravity falls' truther #but that does not mean he would never call back to cali to check in on his son or anything #so take that as you will #uhhhh everything else is pretty silly and doesnt require much explanation i dont think?? #i dont draw pre-college fidds a lot even though i literally have a whole backstory written for him LOLLLL #also i have a whole complex where when i draw a character pre-transition i feel embarrassed #sort of like i've walked in on them in the bathroom or something. like 'whoops sorry' and i politely look away #want to make it VERY CLEAR i dont think theres anything wrong or bad about drawing someone pre-transition!! #it's just a weird thing ive noticed about myself that i'm trying to deal with #and it literally only happens when i'm drawing. not when i'm writing

FOOL BUNNY

I just remembered I have an OC themed around this day... but is a loser jokester, absolutely innocent who can't land a single trick... no, I'm not projecting at all pfff.

Old art, in order from 2022, 2020, and 2019.

#april fool's day #windy ocs fool bunny #that's his whole character nothing else #like him i got many ocs that just exist because one day i decided to draw them and ta-daaa #i know i could put some to be adopted but even if blank and just taking space #i cant get rid of any of my creations orz #these arts i made during my first years switching from Paint Tool SAI to Krita #and the jump from art style to art style was pretty strong #thats why they look like three different people drew him x'D #but believe me all are mine #gosh he deserves a new artwork anyways but right now #i just want to lie down in the floor #windydrawallday ocs #my art as old as time

[twilightarcade]

some (4 of them) mildly old art with MILDLY (really) bright colors and a bunch of reds n blacks. In order of how much I want them to die with the death wish getting more severe as you go down

#semidailymaybeificanposting #what's ur problem girl (referring to myself) #most of these are like... not accurate #to nearly anything ever #I wanted to use a bunch of red in art for a bit and use a bunch of red I did #I was going to draw something today actually but I COULDNT. sad. #I think the top one is pretty ok. #like if I didn't have a few really particular grievances about it I think I would like it #'it would be good if it was good'. Basically #these all had little titles btw #in order: choking [] regulation [] RAGHH!!! [] please do not touch the artwork. #ok maybe not all of them had descriptive titles. Whatever. Your problem. #I dislike that last one a considerable amount btw #I could have done better what were you thinking me from the past. Amateur. #trying to schedule these maybe. Just so I don't go insane and blow up

I really wanted to do Thoma's hangout event to get all endings since it's anniversary day but... I also really want to continue exploring the underground mines of the chasm :`)

#;phia plays games #Hnffgggg I wanna see all that pretty artwork of him with the traveler #I mean Thoma is also with me because he's always on my team but ehhh #Nerina: Hey I know it's our anniversary buuuut.... we could also further explore the underground mines what do you think #Thoma: ..... wait what #(he'd agree after that like 'anything you want my love' #while still a bit sad because he probably prepared a romantic dinner or something xD) #I just... I just want to get to the next archon quest and there are still so many world quests I need to do ;w;

what is the truth. schrodinger's normal abnormal boy

#i was going to write a meta but i deleted it all bc i got embarrassed and can't put woRDS TOGETHER IN A SMART/CLEAR WAY #RHGHHH #its in my brain though i swear #its just abt daisuke's juvenile sense of confusion #hes young. hes a lil lost! he goes along with his family's phantom thievery but he doesn't necessarily completely enjoy it #it's complicated. he truly genuinely from the bottom of his heart loves art. but he doesn't necessarily like the stealing aspect #and he'd never ever steal anything deeply precious to anyone. he refuses to hurt anyone's feelings #but also- he's a little out of touch with things too sometimes. he keeps convincing himself he's 'mostly' or 'sorta' or 'pretty much' norma #when hes NEARLY DIED PLENTY OF TIMES thanks to his training #nobody normal comes home to electric doorknobs pitfalls alligators rabid dogs and lasers #his whole family is literally a family of criminals! he has live artworks w bonkers powers in his basement! #his own weird pet rabbit can FLY AND TALK #ud think turning into dark he'd be like 'well this might as well just happen' but in a way dark rlly was the last straw for daisuke #and like. there's nothing normal about any of this oagbdkgfk ESP IN A MODERN AGE!!! #but daisuke a) is a little willfully ignorant of it and b) genuinely ignorant of anything outside of it. bc again. hes a kid! #he doesn't have a lot of friends! he's a loser! #satoshi bringing up the tamers' cycles too. dark and daiki both agreeing that even if things seem fine now #that in the future the niwa and hikari would fight again. the niwa would cause the hikari pain #over and over. daisuke can't stand it. everyone keeps trying to tell him that his life and future is fixed #but if it's not one he agrees with or wants for himself then he's going to reject it #and that goes double for people like satoshi who have to reject krad. their sorrow and pain #bc it doesn't actually produce any beneficial outcome. its just senseless #*･ﾟ⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT.

they r all friends :] (psd used) (inspired by these templates done by @trashwarden 4ever ago!!)

#i could've done a lot w this but idk it's probably best this simple ?? #sorry for the mass effect archives artwork i wanted uniformity 😩 #if anyone is interested i could turn this into a psd or transparent template !! #mass effect #edit* #ch: dana shepard #it's difficult using just gradient to describe some of these but some are really funny #like for garrus it goes from dislike to respect then jumps over friends to become best friends #but i also find it rlly interesting who she gravitates to more #u can see this need for something familial with liara and grunt and samara #i wish i had something in between friends and close friends for some of these but then there would be too many colors #like she spent a lot of time with mordin maybe not always listening but the chatter was a comfort #there's a deep bond she has with both jack and wrex but it wouldn't be correct to call them besties #and then kaidan liara and miranda are definitely her most complex relationships #couldn't rlly fit kaidan's distrust n all that on there without it looking like shit #but the other two feel mostly accurate. miranda's feelings for her were a bit frankensteinian in a way #and with liara.. dana pretty much cuts her off after the shadow broker dlc and it breaks liara and me3 is very tense for a while #i have paragraphs abt that in my notes app hdhjdsdfnjhnds #i could ramble abt each of these tbh #ANYWAYSSSS #also as u could tell dana was very confused romantically after horizon

Me: *Grabs a paint brush and whatever random paints are lying around the house* IT’S TIME FOR SELF CARE, MOTHEREFFERS!!!

#Personal #vent post #DO NOT REBLOG! #we had some gardeners come by recently #and they in my opinion ruined one portion of our yard #to the point i didn't even want to walk out the front door because that meant i had to see it #just a great big knock to my already precarious mental health #So! This morning i grabbed some paintbrushes and some paint #and started painting the boldest freaking madala-like artwork on those dang ugly concrete steps #and that exposed pipe? I'M GONNA PAINT IT TO LOOK LIKE A CANDY CANE! #Just watch me! #If my family's home insurance in gonna force us to rip out all the pretty vines #I'm gonna reclaim my space with COLOR and PATTERNS and they can just go burn in hell for all i care!
