this is their dynamic. to me.

forever thinking about how marcille and laios have such a richly weird and funny friendship dynamic that people I see tend to write off as "god she hates his ass" but in reality it's the frustration of one neurodivergent weirdgirl to another neurodivergent weirdboy who has no concept of masking, has never had to mask, and simply doesn't know how to mask making their entire group come across as "the weirdo freaks" despite her best efforts to not be labelled as "weird" probably her entire life

#dungeon meshi #do not spoil me I havent read the manga yet I just. I care so much #I care so much about the friendship bonds of their entire group and them especially #marcille #laios #she adopted him as a sibling and doesnt even know it. thats her dumbass brother now and she doesnt realize she chose this #but thats literally how she treats him. the aggression is out of self preservation and a specific kind of distress #when he's not being quote unquote weird she respects him a lot. ugh. ugh. ugh. taking damage

I'd really appreciate it if you could share some of my commission posts, things are pretty tight this month and I can use the work to help pay bills. Thank you!

[elllteo]

crops of last lineart commission batch! for @fiyrball6063 @god-mouths @/'z' @bakedbeanz

slots are VERY OPEN right now and i still need to make money until i get a new job

I AM ALSO DOING COLOR COMMISSIONS i am adding the option in my Kofi today

[elllteo]

btw it wont be the first or last time i say it but sheezy.art is cool.

if youre an artist and youve been looking for somewhere to actually make friends/form an art community rather than just sadly refreshing your feed for likes/rbs i would recommend sheezy.art!

it's in beta rn and theres a timer that lets 10 people register every few hours, but theres also a kofi you can support thatll just let you register right away

the website's staff and multiple friends were the ones who brought the site to my attention (thank you lemmy), and every who ive met/talked to there has been super active and sweet ^_^ ik social media can be kind of daunting if you do art for fun so now its my turn to push you guys towards the site

#thank you for the kind words!!!! #I'm one of a handful of the admins for sheezy and this surprised me to run into FGLSJKD #this was really nice to see :D #we're all really glad people are enjoying it. especially our dev / head admin! #we're not perfect but we're trying to give people wiggle room while also maintaining some level of accessibility #hence the drop down tone indicators for comments and the custom theme switches for individual profiles #there's a lot of little things and the site is still definitely in beta #but we're really eager to work on it more and its so nice seeing people like you enjoy it and tell people about it #so thank you!!! #ok ramble over. hehe

To every single artist feeling a little lost or confused and looking towards art tutorials online to help you Improve, I offer you this one vital nugget of advice:

Art Tutorials are not Law. They are not even Rules. In fact, they are at best suggestions on how one MIGHT tackle a visual problem. Do not let the language tutorials use fool you into thinking there is only one universally acceptable way to make art!!!!

#art #teo talks #art tutorials #art advice #i mean no shade to people who make tutorials this is moreso how the language can sometimes come across as absolute! #for people who are young and impressionable (or Neurodiverse like me) it can be hard to recognize that it isnt so severe lmao #this was an issue I had a lot early on and it stressed me out! i p4omise its okay if the tutorials people make dont work for you. #theres so many different ways to make things. its okay to be slow or figure out alternatives #your art is your own and i hope you find tun ways to make it

make bad art or you will always feel bad about your art. Make bad art until you find joy in the crooked lines and the off colours. Make bad art because art is about expression and artwork is never ugly because it was made by someone who has lived a life no one else will ever live. Make bad art and find love through ugly. Make bad art so you make art at all. Make bad art.

would you have dinner with your ocs. woild you eat them. which of your ocs do you think would taste best

Yes I would have dinner with them no I wouldn't eat them BUT okay breaking it down. I think probably Vance and Ellis would taste like shit. On account of their diets. Which are lacking and also extremely bad. LMAO

Matteo would probably taste good the same way an overfed chicken would taste good, also his kind was sort of hunted to endangered status for their pelts and it's more than likely that back when that happened, people were eating them too. So I wouldn't be surprised if a monster hunter granny somewhere had a Noctmare Roast recipe somewhere HFMDVBS

Emmett would taste best on account of being a harpy (bird) and also a Baker (so he got croissants at the ready...) <3

All that being said I AM still stuffing Matteo and Ellis in my mouth like a toddler with barbie dolls :)

#answers #ocs #obsessed actually. i dont think you COULD eat vance #hes not exactly corporeal

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

[elllteo]

today i learned twitter artists are posting their own art but captioning it as if they're reposting someone else's work, bc it gives them waaay more engagement. and its worked every time. the state of social media is truly so over 😭

[elllteo]

This, exactly!!!!

Creators (artists, writers, etc) have been begging for that level of active engagement for years. We miss doing ask blogs, we miss interaction, we want to engage with you wherever possible.

I'll turn on anon, I'll make posts introducing my guys, but at the end of the day if the energy wanes or isn't met, it's hard to want to keep posting! And that's a sentiment SOOOO many artists I know echo - especially original character/story artists.

We all crave connection, but the problem is that to make the connection, we all have to be willing to extend our little paws and boop.

Even when the boop button isn't there!

i genuinely hope that boop day inspires everyone to interact more with other tumblr users. because it’s clearly way more fun this way!! even once the boop button is gone, there’s still asks, tag and ask games, comments, dms, fuck it let’s bring back blog rates i don’t care. part of the reason that tumblr is dying is that its way less social than it used to be. let’s fix that!!

#please im begging gg g #i wish tumblr worked better for my oc art. i really do #i want to post here and gush about them but i am often met with crickets! #teo talks

The secret wish is to write a fanfic that someone loves so much they make fan art of it, or to create a drawing that someone creates an entire fic based off of it.

#LITERALLY PLEASE

Someone get this guy a shock collar or something, I s2g...

Redraw of an icon I drew for him back in 2022! Old version below the cut :3

Had fun playing with a different inking style, ultimately it's not easy to replicate - but it is fun
