#Art critique I guess?

[the-ratronaut]

So I watched this one horror... film? Would you call a feature length twitch vod reupload on youtube a film? Whatever, I think it should count. I watched this horror film last night and it's been sticking with me, giving me feelings and all that. "the gmod stream" it's called. Warning if anyone wants to watch it, the video contains sudden flashing lights and loud noises. Honestly it could probably have done without the loud audio.

It's basically a vod of a stream where three people streaming one by one become corrupted by something. There's some creepypasta to go with it and some creepy glitchy visuals. It's not the most incredible work, I've seen better small indie horror art pieces on twitch and youtube before but I think it's very good. It gave me a specific vibe I enjoy seeing in horror, speficially that feeling of discomfort you get at watching a situation that you know is only going to get worse and the people who could stop it don't know to stop it.

Now it's weird because while watching it I didn't really care much about the paranormal elements (they were still neat but not what I focused on). What grabbed me was the shifting dynamics between the people acting on stream. The way that, when their friends gradually become more off, more out of character or weirdly cruel with no explanation, the others' reactions were, just, very genuine. They empathized with the odd behavior, wrote it off as a bit, played along, tried to ask if everything was going okay, opened up to them more and just genuinely seemed very distressed that they couldn't reach them. They never got angry, frustrated yeah, but never vocally angry.

literally up to the last moment the last "normal" one of the three is still trying to reach out and ask why their friends are acting so cruel towards them. It's distressing and heartbreaking and it just hit me in a really specific way.

So yeah, just felt like I needed to get these feelings down on digital paper. It's a decent watch of you have the hour and a half to spare. Just know going in that a lot of it is watching and listening to a mundane stream... also, the aforementioned warning about loud noises and flashing lights. I legit had to turn down my headset a couple times.

The video:

#Art critique I guess? #I think the themes of long distance friends and longing to be with the people you care about and physical isolation also kinda got to me #Most of my friends are purely online so I definitely felt that #The gmod stream

NOTE:I don’t ship them!!!

I find that the way @courtney-deserved-better writes this friendship is absolutely fucking glorious. Idk why I like them hanging out and caring for each other so much. But I do. In Slippery Slopes they were everything to me and I love them so fucking much. When the family rejects are better than half of the family.

#nector art! #total drama #td alejandro #td courtney #AGHHH #THEMMMM #HMM #ok ok look at thrmmmm #love them I’m so endeared #need them in my house #with a fuzzy blanket #only critique I have for the drawing #is that Alejandro’s face looks stupid #I guess he’s just like that now #:/

An attempt to make angel dust's face look better in this scene

They should've gave him a snout instead of a weird oblong head shape imo

I tried my best, original under the cut

Likes are cool but reblogs are cooler

I'm not doing the rest of his body, and ignore the fact that his spots went away lol. This is my first time editing a drawing btw, so criticism is welcome

#My art #???? I guess #hazbin critical #hazbin critique #hazbin hotel critical #hazbin hotel criticism #hazbin hotel critique #Just to cover all my bases #Also sorry if the lineart doesnt blend in well #I am not spending that much time dedicated to a show im not even going to pirate #My edits

[sizzleissues]

criticism of your art does not reflect on your morals or abilities in their entirety but rather the merits of a piece and the critics subjective opinion

in other words

feel free to tear off your art teachers head she’s wrong you are the next Van Gogh

#sizzle rambles #So guess who just got back from art critique #I don’t want to swan dive into a lake - totally #WOMEN I MADE THE CHANGES YOU SUGGESTED AND YOU HAD THE GALL TO THINK IT LOOKS #WORSE NOW #ITS YOUR FAULT #’your technique and skill is quite good but *the idea she had* really brings if down’ #‘There’s just something missing - something wrong that I can’t place’ #WELL THEN MAYBE THERE ISN’T #MAYBE MY ORIGINAL IDEA WAS TO IT TO FEEL LIKE THE EMPTY SPACE WAS JARRING #LIKE A DISCONNECTION #AND YOU JUST DIDNT GET IT!! #I’m fine actually it’s just frustrating #Should have trusted my gut

Funniest thing in the world is when someone like dissects the symbolism they perceive in something you made and you're like "Wow yeag I really did that. My twisted web of genius metaphors and subtleties" [INTERNAL] What teh fuck are they talking about!!!!!!

#ESPECIALLY with art because I'm usually operating more on a loose collection of concepts than any coherent message but writing too #For example I have one friend who's loosely like beta reading 'The White Calf' and keep having moments where she's like #'wow the symbolism in this bit is interesting' or 'OHHHH I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING THERE' and I'm like #Wait what. Oh yeah I guess that is kind of there huh. Weird #Especially funny when it's a compliment like thank you I'm glad if the loose slop I'm throwing down has assembled itself into coherency #It's not like I DON'T do anything intentionally but so much really is accidental #Art critiques were always wild for me especially ones where I was challenged about what I was trying to say because it's like. #Fuck if I know beyond a loose smattering of vibes and concepts

I’ve been sitting on this long enough; just been so busy and I wanted to write up my general thoughts on the finale with it but it’s just not a good time rn alas

the amity doodle is a true story, when they started the episode off with this nightmare amity confrontation I was literally laughing to myself because her lines were just so obviously wrong it was laughable. like I’m sorry show I know you were trying to be SeriousTM but it was NOT working LMAO

#i want to get all my thoughts down sometime!!!! #but that time is not today #toh #the owl house #toh spoilers #the owl house spoilers #luz noceda #amity blight #toh the collector #collector toh #prob not worth tagging the Titan or the ghosts #um idk if you guys can tell but writing wise I thought this finale was kinda not good to say the least #it had lovely animation and imagery and some moments but OOF #i guess since all the art is critiques I should add #toh criticism #toh critical #art #doodles #drawing

So! I've been working on the My Home(TM) kitchen in Design Home, and I've got it juuuuust about perfect (or as much as it can be within the limited options of design home), but I keep going back and forth on which rug I want. And then I thought, why not ask tumblr? So, behold:

Option 1:

I've always wanted a yellow kitchen, but there was no option to make the walls yellow in design home, so a nice bright yellow rug seems like a good compromise. However, my yellow/multicolor floral accent chair doesn't shine as well against this background.

Option 2:

The blue complements the rest of the kitchen well and gives my table and chairs a solid background to pop against. However, I worry it makes the room too dark and the color palette too cool for my goal of a bright, sunshiney kitchen.

Option 3:

Purple is my favorite color (quelle surprise if you know me at all, lol) and it's a good inbetween tone-wise I think. However, I worry the pattern of this rug is a touch busy.

If you pick the fourth one, you're legally obligated to tell me what rug you're thinking of. Also legal disclaimer that I am not bound by the results of this poll and I'll probably make up my mind on my own eventually, but I'm curious to see how things shake out, and also I lowkey wanted to show off my home designing.

Yeah I'm a gamer (*spends hours playing a home design game on my phone*)

#Design Home #my home kitchen #specifically it's the #main home kitchen #polls #vote now! #you can critique other elements of my design if you want I guess but at this point I'm not changing it most likely #I'm really pretty happy with this but none of the rugs feel quite perfect #mobile gaming #interior design #I could almost call this art or something but I don't want to spam too many tags ;) #I do think I've got a certain composition going though #but yeah opinions welcome! (be nice) (or the laser cats will get you) (I am not legally responsible for the actions of the laser cats) #lol #color theory #hehe #but I do have kind of a purple/blue/yellow palette going‚ which isn't a proper triadic palette technically but I dig it #I do love design home... I might be a little too into it but it's fun #the hgtv kid to wish I owned a house pipeline. oof lol #anyways look at my pretty kitchen. love my pretty kitchen with me #even in the tags i ramble

[draagu]

goober alert

#monk #wip #gave them little burn? accident scars from crafting oops moments #and also general survival scars maybe #my art #also if you have color critiques I'm all ears #just be actually critiquing i guess

[antirepurp]

oh gamebanana is going to hate my knuckles design when i get around to modeling him lmao

#soda offers you a can #some guy's having beef with all my redesigns and it's making me laugh so hard im - #bro told me that the colors should've been closer to the original art. babe i EYEDROPPED THEM FROM THE ART #i guess it's all constructive but im still just ??? if you don't like the designs you could. idk. make your own? #bc the critique im looking for is related to shit like performance and whether the model behaves in game or not #idk but at least i got a chuckle out of it

[ernaux]

surely this word document is more scared of me than I am of it

#insane how what i gotta write now are these essays analizing (meta) art criticism and still I decide to sabotage once more #love that for me #being so annoying about art critique & then can't even write anything valuable. ok. #maybe I need to find new ways to approach this things instead of beating myself up cause it isnt working #guess I'm using tags to think now #these things* ninguna tag sin su errata

[weaselishmcdiesel]

my next animation project is going to focus on backgrounds, whiiiich i have a lot of trouble with, and it doesnt help that the computers in school absolutely botch my colors when i open the file on my laptop ^^;

#(this is. a shameless request for anyone to give me critiques. or point me in the direction of bg tutorials and tips and tricks) #(im going to be drawing only natural landscapes if that makes a difference) #this is just a rough- im aiming for a really fleshed out crisp illustration by the end #i hope you guys will like it when it's done :) #my art #art #no tags since it's just a wip</3 #i havent made an animatic yet but im guessing there may be? around 10...? backgrounds #thats probably a lot so it's more likely therell be like 5 #has to be 15-30 seconds long? but my pacing is going to be really slow so i may go beyond that just to get my point across

I had a dream that I got fucked by Aether while Dew watched and praised both of us and then ate me out... never waking up again that was amazing

#dew also drew us fucking and then asked for art critique while aether was still pounding away but that's how dreams are i guess #nameless ghouls #wham rambles

Having a nibbling is great because when you're looking for gifts you get to see all the incredible art used to illustrate the boxes.

From "best" to "have we considered burning the store to get rid of the evil?"

Absolutely lovely, adorable and expressive. Great use of shapes and values. I wanna be their friends.

Elegant stylization, poetic imagery, gentle color palette. What secrets are they keeping?

An orange feline without a single braincell between its ears. Factually correct.

Still cute but on thin fucking ice

Feels like they were talking shit about you and you just walked in

DO YOU HAVE GAMES ON YOUR PHONE

Mom come get me I'm scared

No

i am SO fucking exhausted by mainstream media opinions lately and i don't understand why they're frequently SO different from my own? like i genuinely don't think i am approaching anything from that unique of a perspective as a viewer? maybe it's just that i'm too easy to please when it comes to stories or something but like. how is the mainstream, widely accepted consensus on yellowjackets season 2 is that it's "bad" and "doesn't work as a season" and is "riddled with problems." literally what the fuck are you talking about. this is the most fun i have had watching television uhhhhh literally Ever? you're telling me people hated Burial? how? why? like i don't...i just don't GET it. and i'm not playing dumb for kicks here im like genuinely honest to god confused. that was the single best episode of television I've ever watched in my life. like i get that people have different opinions about things and that's fine but HOW am i in the minority here what am i missing

#most of the critiques I've seen are that it 'focused on the adults too much' and was 'too weird' re: mistys sequence #like??? that was clearly supposed to be funny and campy and silly and artistic and a twin peaks homage? #and the 'focusing on the adults' i... i mean i guess some people are just here for the '96 mystery #and are completely uninterested in the psychological effects it had on all the characters? #i guess some people don't?? care??? about watching them wrestle with that trauma and go on to try to have lives #after something like that? #but like. that's the entire point of the show though. if you hate that why are you watching it every week #with enough investment to like. blog about it and put energy into writing whole ass thinkpieces #so much of media criticism these days boil down into 'i wish this show was Not the show that it is' #'i wish it was this other show that im writing with my twitter mutuals' #and like that's fine and fun and cool and valid and that's what fic is for! but a show isnt BAD for committing to itself and its own vision #like. there is something sooo sexy abt a piece of media that is so wholly itself that you have to meet it where it is #and judge it by its own metric #it creates a whole new unique lens for each and every thing you love! quit comparing apples and oranges! #it's SO fucking fun analyzing different pieces of media through the lens of their own little world and conventions #and guiding principles and plot pacing and what they choose to emphasize and their genre conventions and etc etc #it's FUN! and not to sound like a pretentious film bro dipshit but like why does it seem like this is a dying art these days #'s2 is boring' THEY. THEY ATE A PERSON. ARE WE WATCHING THE SAME THING

So, it’s not like they deleted the whole scene of Taylor on the scale. All they deleted was the actual shot of the word “fat.” The scene where she steps onto the scale and Taylor #2 shakes her head in disapproval is still very much there. My point being, the meaning of this imagery remains exactly the same!! The scene is still “Taylor steps on the scale and feels, yes, ‘fat’ and therefore not good enough because of her insecurities” (in this case an actual eating disorder which she has openly discussed in the past). What do people think those with eating disorders see when they step on the scale? Because it’s pretty dang easy for me to fill in the blank. If you think the original video was offensive because you think it suggested Fat=Ugly etc., does this edited scene not read in exactly same way to you? But I guess it’s only using the actual word “fat” (notably, again, in the context of her OWN personal body dysmorphia and not as a commentary on anyone else) that’s offensive and problematic, while implying it is perfectly okay!

#the whole thing doesn’t make sense to me I guess #words mean so little without the contexts around them. the context Taylor used ‘fat’ in MATTERS. it’s not just the word itself. #but the fact that it came to down to policing the use of one word in a piece of art reflecting on her personal experiences is crazy #and the fact that this appeased the critics makes their critique to me seem even more like virtue signaling #in the first place #we can’t start censoring someone’s art because something in it made someone somewhere uncomfortable. #god the rabbit holes this puts us down #anyway last thing I’m going to say on this. I had new thoughts now that it’s off YouTube. #Taylor swift #midnights #ts #anti-hero

dama de noche (night-blooming jasmine, literally lady of the night)

a horror comic i did for a school project a little while back! something something, the real monster was man.

warnings: domestic abuse, murder, some blood

it's kind of Long so the rest is going down here ⤵️

if you made it all the way down here, thank you for reading!

#november draws #oc art #i guess??? #tw abuse #tw domestic abuse #and now if you're reading the tags. hello. #you get to read my complaints about when i was writing this bc i am still so mad about it lmao #tldr part of my critiques were that it's Too Subtle that the husband sucks #as if him throwing a glass at her and being overall controlling isn't already a red flag???? bro #like yes murder is an overreaction but it's horror babe ofc not everyone reacts sensibly #and i got another critique that was like 'damn the wife is crazy i feel bad for the husband' #ESCUSEME???? HELLO??? #i think that if u read a story abt an abused wife with a controlling husband and she's always scared of him #and he always thinks she's lying for literally no reason even tho she's not. and u see him throw things at her AND U COME AWAY LIKE #'DAMN SHE CRAZY' then idt that's really a failing on my part as a storyteller you're just stupid #sorry that's enough in the tags i also complained on twitter thank u for reading this too if u did
