#HAVE I FORGOTTEN HOW TO DRAW PEOPLE

[kelocitta]

Tangentially related to some of the discussion i posted earlier but quiet literally the first RW Art Month i participated I did it completely on whim like, one day before it started. And I mostly did it because I hadn't drawn a ton of rain world and wanted to draw more. Fandom presence was a lot smaller than and I was one of a handful of artists who did the entire thing. Fast forward and I still do Art Month and I've gotten to work with VC directly. But it was quite literally something I decided to do completely on whim that set the ball rolling, and for something a lil more niche and certainly with a lot more dev/fandom art involvement than most. It's really random how and why you might get noticed more than usual, especially with the "toss it into the search and hope it pays out' mechanism of Socmed

#t.extpost #and im hardly the fanciest art month artist out there so it wasnt even about being a jaw droppingly talented artist or whatever #and while artmonth for rw is still given a huge focus its also a much much bigger thing now with a much bigger number of participants #which is cool! its awesome how many people i saw do most if not all of last art month! and VC is really good about not just repping the #most popular artists or fanciest pieces #but theres So Much More there now and while its great for finding artists its also impossible to get Everyone in there you know? #Although they absolutely try #And this is like. one of the most fanartist involved devs ive ever seen in terms of both celebrating the art their fans make and actively #bringing those fans in to contribute #and its /still/ hard to get going just because thats how Posting is #i used to be more of a hk artist which is both a huge fandom and riddled with stunning artists but theres So Many #and niche fandoms are niche so youre more likely to connect with people but less likely to see a ton of engagement regularly - #probably best example i have for that was being briefly fixated on patapon. #Its just messy to try and find the hack that sets you up #just have fun and jump around and make what you like #get a sense of feeling for your style and some people will stick around for that vs. strictly the subject matter #others will look up the thing you switched too and some wont engage #you cant really control it #so have fun and draw that thing you randomly thought about at 2 am that doesnt match your blog #draw for that forgotten rpg you liked when you were 15 or draw for the 70 player max steam game you played for this week #you never really know what will happen #but its not really worth worrying about what will happen either

Ough as the end draws near I’m seeing more and more comments that are making me nervous that the ending won’t live up to all the hype & expectations aaaa aa

#ask #for example #there’s a few notes I’ve forgotten about that we’re gonna be important but now make no sense in the story #so I’ve gotta figure out how to work them in #without it feeling forced #and at the same time #continuing with the idea I’ve been married to for a few weeks about what the ending is gonna be #but now I’m so nervous that people won’t like the ending #and I’ll have ruined this fic #sobs #ik most of you will hopefully enjoy it!! but even seeing a few be like ‘aw :( I hoped something else would happen’ is gonna be ROUGH #but honestly #thank you all for the amazing experience you’ve given me writing this #I never realized just how much I enjoy writing until I started writing this fic #and all the love has been so sos o life changing #so thank you all <3 #one person specifically said I was ‘stalling’ but like :( I’m drawing out the tension. if I do things too quickly it won’t have any umph. #I just haven’t been able to stop thinking abt that comment sigh #personal

2023 art journey wooo

(I don't know where the hell I was on May + Sept I just don't have any art from there sorry)

#i wasn't originally gonna do this which is why it looks rushed lol #neon's nonsense #alan becker #chonny jash #jzboy #I love how you can see where my interests were at the time (like at the start I did a lot of oc art THEN avm THEN jzboy THEN chonny jash in #I don't believe I have shown people most of my oc art (I've forgotten they've existed admittedly #Would anyone want to see me draw more oc art??

Do you have any recommendations for other artists that draw robots in a similar fashion? I mean more mechanically focused robots, if that makes sense. Just struggling to find robot art that isn't simply humans made of metal, but I love how you draw them

Hi! Thanks ^^ Hopefully I bring something new to you, not all of these are robot artists only though so I can't be 100% sure it's the only or most predominant thing in their galleries.

People here on tumblr:

/databuffer has cool very mech-leaning robot designs ^^

/bucketofrobots has an OC story with robots, some of the designs are less humanoid than others from what I recall

/mothcpu has a really cool way of drawing the V units from Ultrakill (and robots in general) that I'm fond of

/seaquestions has some lovely stuff, not all is robots but there's robots and transformers fanart in the mix

/ryvenarts has some really nice robot/mech OCs

/wtfforged I love his style! not all robots but there's some neat robots :3

/rachelh1017 has a cute manga/comic robot x human thing? maybe not what you're looking for but worth mentioning

/technoghoul (/cognitohazard) has drawn mech-leaning robot designs

There's some people who are likely active on twitter only that I know of, for example, /iluvkillerobots has neat sci fi mech artwork and /fayren has lovely designs in their gallery. Also while it's not all artwork, you can probably find more people on my robots tag since I tend to reblog stuff that inspires me and I personally like.

#anon #ask #reply #not tagging anyone bc i dont want to bother sorry........... #i might have forgotten artists bc i follow like 400+ blogs here kjdg #thanks again btw ^^ im glad people like how i draw robots <3

Work in progress :)

#may have forgotten slightly how to draw people but it’s ok bc I can still color ✨ #kazuha my beloved #I’ll be pulling for heizou but I wouldn’t mind getting kazuha cons #in other news I don’t like heizou’s palette that much but the hair and eyes?? *chefs kiss* #look I don’t ship characters out of principle but. have to admit kazuha and heizou eyes and hair complement perfectly #outfits less so but the faces visually just look good together #waiting on voice lines for their character dynamic tho lmao #I think it’d be fun if ayato foiled heizou’s attempts to arrest kazuha #I actually love the ayato kazuha voiceline #kazuha has a hidden protector…. 🥺

[missholoska]

been meaning to do this for a little while, I've changed this blog's desktop theme ✨ I noticed the old one was always slightly cutting off images and I don't know enough about coding to figure out how to fix that, so I just got a whole new one instead ahah

it's got pretty much all the same stuff on it, but if there's any problems with it please let me know :>

#holoskart rambles #idk how many people are strictly mobile users who won't even see blog themes these days but. I just think having a cool theme is fun :] #this one has some neat features too like fancy info boxes for my two projects #(although the image for UTPF's box is temporary. I wanna draw something better to go there at some point) #and my 'currently working on' box now lists when I last edited it so you can tell when I've just forgotten to update it for weeks ahah

[Image description: a digital drawing of Thomas from Transatlantic holding Varian's hand and kissing his fingers while crying. We only see Thomas's face and their two hands covered in dripping blood. Behind them are black shards with designery red eyes on them. The pieces is coloured in desaturated blues with red accents. End description.]

We all have blood on our hands.

#transatlantic #lovefry #varian fry #thomas lovegrove #so uhhhh yeah if anyone remembers me saying i was sketching some ideas to do w how they met this is one of them #i started getting too many ideas in the middle of it so i kind of lost the original vision but thats ok bcs experimentation baby #basically the first idea was to have knives in the bg but then i was like glass shards bcs of the beer glass that was probably shattered #and bcs its less complex than a knife while still signifying violence (wanted simpler elements in this bad boy) #and then the eyes are all the people who just watched and the red signifies the underlying violence of being a silent observer #in these kinds of situations #and then i got distracted w thomas's suit lol bcs i accidentally did stripes and i was like omg criminal symbolism #and then i was like ok what if they werent normal stripes (bcs that strict angularity is more a part of varian's symbolism) #but instead were more scale-like bcs thomas is resilient but his throat is open bcs a part of his resilience is a lack of fear #of vulnerability #see what i mean by got distracted lol #it doesnt belong in this piece bcs it almost creates a second accent colour when red is meant to be the only one #but id love to do something w it in a different piece #thanks for coming to my ted talk it has to be in here bcs ill see this in 6 months having forgotten everything #and i hope u enjoy the drawing bcs if i cant be completely happy w it (artist disease) at least someone else might enjoy it #artist brain insists i shouldnt share it but i must face the horrors in order to grow /hj

#i have. forgotten how to draw people /joke mostly

still so frustrated that it's because it took so long doing the video production part of my kai analysis that a lot of my revelations were rendered redundant but it's fine. it's okay. i was right. it's just that now everyone else has had it handed to them on a silver platter instead of reading between the lines like i did incessantly for the months before the miniepisode.

#it's killed a lot of my motivation to make such videos. i must admit. #jestersvaguely #i could still try to make it but augh. it's like nankidai didn't even put kai in the limelight he put him under a stadium light #too much. too much! where's the subtlety where's the tact. i loved it so much more before it was just explicitly written. sorry. #what else are people meant to dig into or engage with characters with if you're just completely clearing ANY curiosity #i don't know. i should still make it. it'd require so much rewriting though because i was specifically drawing from ranger's existence #and now there's a whole miniepisode detailing the complications of the satous dynamic and it's like well now i have to analyze that #but it doesn't even add much more than what was already implied & extrapolated from. #which i already had. i already had all of this speculation written down and dug into and now i have to rid the entire section of speculatio #it's so much less. impressive i guess. it just feels so plain and basic and it's like 'well yes we all saw that play out in the miniepisode #and it's like NO IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE MINIEPISODE HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD'VE JUST REDUCED HIM TO ABUSIVE OLD MAN #AND COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN THE FACT HE LOVED RANGER. RANGER - INCAPABLE OF AFFECTION - SAID GASHU 'S AFFECTIONS WERE HIS #AND FROM RANGER. COMPARABLE TO A SON. KAI'S EXISTENCE & GASHU'S REACTION THEREAFTER ... AHHHHHHH #i don't know. more than anything i'm just upset at my own inaction because now it's like. this is the one thing that we didn't need to wait #on for analysis. now i need to wait for asunaro to be explained before i can do proper kai analysis and it's so frustrating and saddening #i don't know. i just hate that i can't do any actual kai analysis now because he's my favorite #there's the whole 'what do the satous mean for sara & the narrative' but that was meant to be part of the larger thing #not the focus of the video. the focus of the video was discussing everything with kai #and now it's like. well the entire cover's been blown off unceremoniously and it's #ah. it's frustrating. it's so frustrating. nankidai's storytelling is so sloppy i really don't know what draws me to it at all

#I want to quit drawing #it's useless... last time I checked it only reached people who don't give a flying heck to my drawing #if you said why are you trying to get more like? Genuinely because I want more people to reach it #So perhaps I can open commission or something #maybe it's my drawing that sucks as hell and not the algorithm #I'm a garbage for real! Useless piece of shiyt I guess #why do I bother drawing at all... no matter how hard I try it'll never reach more people #even my friends ignored it #so I guess yeah it's alright #I hope I don't need to draw again because now I hate it soo much #I hate how people near me made drawing is good only if it is famous or something #I'm tired #can't I... can't they stop? #I wish I have someone who remember what I like... just one person is enough for me #I'm tired being the one who always have to do the best for people #but they'd... they scarcely remember #I'm happy with that drawing but I feel reaaly stupid for hoping that it'll reach more people #I thought I can get new friends... I guess no #it's alright I'm the forgotten one. It's not their fault.

How do U feel about the fact that pop and cub were present in the first amongus eye spotting?

When I found out I was utterly flabbergasted and I don't use that word lightly

#text #htf #its just. with how small the community is now #you kinda forget that it was an international sensation #i mean it was a web cartoon that was SO BIG it got a TV SHOW #IN LIKE. 2006. #but nowadays its sorta. forgotten? #other than a dedicated group of Mentally Ill people like me #the only people who talk about it are either 'LOL remember that show? it traumatised me when i was 5' or 'why is this cute kids cartoon #in the horror section' #SO JUST. SEEING THE SOURCE OF A MASSIVE MEME HAVE FUCKING HTF IN IT. #i felt like i was going CRAZY #like no that cant be cub..... hes not even a very popular character.......... #if they REQLLY wanted to reference theyd draw flip or flake or maybe giggles and cuddles if theyre feelin frisky #but no it is qctually cub and pop. #we truly do live in a society

[littlechibs]

i fell down the trauma center fic rabbit hole and ive got nobody to talk to about it bc nobody i know has played trauma center

#[screams into my hands] #how do i convince my friends and oomfs to play a surgery game that has a fanbase that's barely hanging on #and hasnt gotten a new game in nearly 13 years #and might have been forgotten about by atlus #genuinely i would pay people money to give these games a chance but sadly im too broke to do that #i'd offer to draw something in exchange but im also currently in real bad burnout so thats not an option either #AUGH I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO PLAY IT. #THAT WAY I CAN TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND MAYBE THERE'D BE MORE FAN CONTENT #[sounds of distress] #catgirl musings

truly the event of mc being picked up

featuring: 1) the expectations half of an expectations vs reality that i never finished. 2) the mortifying ordeal of being carried on the shoulders of government officials while already on top of a float ( + the sudden realization that she’s afraid of heights). 3) when he says “i’ll lift you up, strike a pose!” and then doesnt wait for a response (also you just recently realized you’re afraid of heights)

#wwaffles bein' an idiot #wwaffles' art #actually the second one was also one half of a thing like #if you got lifted on the shoulders of seven people at once would it look like this or this but i genuinely. #could not figure out how all seven of them were carrying one person #(the second one was gonna be them carrying a casket because i have exactly one joke) #i had forgotten to draw beel in demon form so i added the horns later and i was like. oh thats a good expression to have #for being that close to a demon's horns huh

I've had a hard time articulating to people just how fundamental spinning used to be in people's lives, and how eerie it is that it's vanished so entirely. It occurred to me today that it's a bit like if in the future all food was made by machine, and people forgot what farming and cooking were. Not just that they forgot how to do it; they had never heard of it.

When they use phrases like "spinning yarns" for telling stories or "heckling a performer" without understanding where they come from, I imagine a scene in the future where someone uses the phrase "stir the pot" to mean "cause a disagreement" and I say, did you know a pot used to be a container for heating food, and stirring was a way of combining different components of food together? "Wow, you're full of weird facts! How do you even know that?"

When I say I spin and people say "What, like you do exercise bikes? Is that a kind of dancing? What's drafting? What's a hackle?" it's like if I started talking about my cooking hobby and my friend asked "What's salt? Also, what's cooking?" Well, you see, there are a lot of stages to food preparation, starting with planting crops, and cooking is one of the later stages. Salt is a chemical used in cooking which mostly alters the flavor of the food but can also be used for other things, like drawing out moisture...

"Wow, that sounds so complicated. You must have done a lot of research. You're so good at cooking!" I'm really not. In the past, children started learning about cooking as early as age five ("Isn't that child labor?"), and many people cooked every day their whole lives ("Man, people worked so hard back then."). And that's just an average person, not to mention people called "chefs" who did it professionally. I go to the historic preservation center to use their stove once or twice a week, and I started learning a couple years ago. So what I know is less sophisticated than what some children could do back in the day.

"Can you make me a snickers bar?" No, that would be pretty hard. I just make sandwiches mostly. Sometimes I do scrambled eggs. "Oh, I would've thought a snickers bar would be way more basic than eggs. They seem so simple!"

Haven't you ever wondered where food comes from? I ask them. When you were a kid, did you ever pick apart the different colored bits in your food and wonder what it was made of? "No, I never really thought about it." Did you know rice balls are called that because they're made from part of a plant called rice? "Oh haha, that's so weird. I thought 'rice' was just an adjective for anything that was soft and white."

People always ask me why I took up spinning. Isn't it weird that there are things we take so much for granted that we don't even notice when they're gone? Isn't it strange that something which has been part of humanity all across the planet since the Neanderthals is being forgotten in our generation? Isn't it funny that when knowledge dies, it leaves behind a ghost, just like a person? Don't you want to commune with it?
