hello, carolus of the gouden variety! it's me, your southern hemisphere summer santa, crowdsourcing in advance. do you have any favorite color combos or elements you'd like to see in visual art? how do you feel about aus in fanfiction? is there anything extra i should know? see you on the flip side!

Hi, my southern anonymous friend!

I suppose it won't come to a shock to anyone if I say that I like golden/warm colours. I like them on their own, but I also like them paired with cooler colours. So any colour combination inspired by a picture taken with the sun low on the horizon is going to be a hit for me. I also like bright saturated kitsch colour palettes. And ocean blues…

As for more general elements I'm not sure? I like it when people add touches of symbolism to their visual art, I guess.

AUs are cool with me. I don't love High School stuff or the Omegaverse, but stuff like Sports AUs (we've got the summer Olympics this year, just saying), lycantrophy/magical realism or different time periods is fun!

#i'll probably like anything just saying #askbox

#generation kill #brad #hbo war #my art #also this looks fine on my 9 year old laptop screen and horribly oversaturated on my phone #so since i can't win i've elected not to care

GENERATION KILL Rewatch 1x01 "Get Some" How's it feel, motherfucker? How's it feel to be fucking dead? Bro, it feels sad. I feel very alone.

#can't remember where I read it but somewhere there was something about Susanna White wanting a whole lot more explosions #and the real marines working as advisors putting their foot down about it because it would be unrealistic and overblown #which is cool and ultimately i bet it made for a better show #still #when i see that explosion in the first gif i always think it's very very cool looking haha #generation kill

#i was trying to come up with something clever to say but honestly i just love their chemistry #bradray #generation kill

Rose-tinted glasses

#canon divergence where everything is the same except Ray has these glasses instead #generation kill #ray #hbo war #my art #“why all the pink caro?” well you see pink is a spring colour and I am DESPERATE for spring to come #you know we were supposed to get 18c yesterday and then the weather service broke an entire nation's heart by saying the forecast's wrong #so you could say this is me trying to cope

Dead Man Walking

#generation kill #hbo war #nate fick #my art #the flowers were supposed to be asphodels because of the whole death symbolism thing #but i uhh forgot to double check their colours before i started rendering #so now they're very very pink asphodels

#the seas that mourn by patrick d. smith #which i picked up solely because i had an all consuming idea for an au that needed some digging into #but i'm enjoying it a lot more than i thought i would

#beautiful!!! #i love the tasteful layered texture from the colour pencil! #the blue colour scheme also really adds to the melancholy #when you realize that you can't single handedly fix a broken system </3 #nate fick #other's art

(what the fuck is going on here?)

#if someone told me this was a real scene that i'd just forgotten about i'd believe them #if i was a normal person and not someone who's lost count of the number of times i've seen this show that is #generation kill #bradnate

A Burning Dog - Generation Kill (insp.)

#have said it before but it repeats #but all the colours you manage to pull from this brown/grey slurry of a canon blows my mind #as always i am SO weak for the sunset palettes #(once on a job interview they asked me about my favourite weather and i got nervous and said sunsets) #but the second one is also really eyecatching in a very cinematic way #generation kill

[gouden-carolus]

you are such a soft and messy thing. nobody knows how to take care of you.

for @a-beautiful-struggle-of-life <3
