#I thought this frame looked so cool

[sskk-manifesto]

Btw friendly reminder that the anime cut the scene where after jumping off the sinking ship Mitchell and Hawthorne encountered James L. - the Guild's top-level's secretary that the pm killed at the end of season 1 -... Only to find out it was actually his corpse standing tall, eviscerated and filled with lemon bombs, complete with graphic depiction of his face splitting open and lemon bombs rolling off it

#Not posting the pages because it's pretty graphic but still thought it was worth mentioning #Because I feel like we all really forgot about it?? #But it was a pretty cool moment!! #It's also pretty important for Mitchell and Hawthorne's relationship since it frames Hawthorne protecting her first– #and Mitchell looking visibly impressed because of it #margaret mitchell #nathaniel hawthorne #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd s2 #bsdrewatch2023 #tw gore #tw body horror #I found that scene so disturbing when I read the manga for the first time! No wonder the anime decided to fully skip it #Even though they had already shown the pm killing James T. in the last scene of season 1...

Pizza Tower features a wide variety of foes for Peppino to plow his way through, though if I had to chose my ultimate favorite enemy in the entire game, I'd have to go with the Bad Rat. I love literally everything about their animations and I always get super excited whenever I come across one!

It was when I first attempted to draw a Bad Rat that I realized the potential of taking one and making it into my very own Pizza Tower OC... enter Brat the Rat, the punkish and portly rival to Gustavo's right-hand rodent, Brick the Rat!

(Check under the cut for some insight on Brat's character as well as concept art!)

We all know that Peppino Spaghetti has his fair share of rivals, and while it's unanimously agreed upon that his ultimate foe is the villainous Pizzaface, I've always thought that the Noise made for a better fit as the Italian's evil double. I mean, they do hate each other with a passion.

But how cool would it be if Brick the Rat had his own rival (Gustavo doesn't need a rival, he's too precious to have one)? There's a distinct difference between Brick and the Bad Rats (I.E. tail color, ear length, messier whiskers, etc.), and I thought it would serve as a neat basis for a Pizza Tower OC!

Brat the Rat is the commander of the Bat Rat brigade in the Pizza Tower, and sent Brick out to dispose of the intruders of their domain. However, after Gustavo and Brick's eventual friendship, Brat takes it upon himself to disregard the incompetence of his inferiors and go after the true threat to the tower, Peppino, personally.

He is best described as a conniving though lazy figure of authority, and spends most of his time snooping about The Pig City or at home in the fittingly named sewer level. In spite of his mean demeanor and meaner intentions, Brat also has a seldom-seen (At least to anyone besides the Bad Rats) gentler side, and can be a complete and total cuddle bug if he trusts you enough.

I find that Pizza Tower sprites are easiest to draw if you sketch them out beforehand, and that's just what I did with Brat! I wanted Brat to be larger than the standard Bad Rat by a longshot, and that he'd tower over Peppino when sitting upright, so I made conceptual sketches of the such before going into spriting.

Honestly, it took me a little while to figure out Brat's body shape when he isn't laying on his front, but I've since perfected it and can safely say he is easily one of the easiest and most fun of my OCS to draw! Seeing how big of a hit he was to some of my mutuals outside of tumblr, I figured I'd show him off to y'all on tumblr as well! 🍕✨

#Star's Art #Star's OCs #Brat the Rat #Peppino Spaghetti #Pizza Tower #Pizza Tower OC #Sprite Art #Coolness #HE'S THE GIANT RAT THAT MAKES ALL OF DA RULES. #I've only had Brat the Rat for about two days and he is unironically one of my most beloved OCs #He started out as a sketch of a much larger Bad Rat though I grew attached to the concept more than I thought I would #Shrimp suggested I give him a hat so I gave him a beanie... and thus Brat the Rat was born! #One thing I wanted to save for the tags was the sprite I drew of Peppino #Let me say that again... #The sprite I— StarDestroyer81— drew of Peppino #That's right; the sprite of Peppino featured in this post isn't a frame of one of his animations... #... but instead one I drew specifically for this post from the ground up! #IT'S LITERALLY THE BEST PEPPINO I'VE DRAWN BY A W I D E MARGIN. #I think it's 'cause I'm finally getting a feel for drawing his face and body but IT FLAT-OUT LOOKS OFFICIAL #With that aside I do intend on drawing Brat some more very soon #I wanna see if I can do a piece where I'm hugging him because like #The man's hug shaped. That is a rat made for hugging. #Plus I really like him so I think it'd be a cute piece!

would it be okay if u told me why u like aoki😭/gen😭😭😭😭BEEN TRYNA LIKE HIM FOR SO LONG I JUST CANTT but i love ur art so much so i still consume it otherwise lol

i liked tohru adachi in high school and tbh i think that alone is enough of an explanation for why i ended up liking aoki

#snap chats #haha see i told you last post's tags were relevant #anyway vLKVJEVLKAEJVLKJ IM CRYING ANON youre so funny. this is the funniest ask i coulda got thank you so much #i dont know why i like him either <- yes i do #fine lets get Real Talk about it #well first off all i thought he looked hot rolling out the elevator and i was playing the eng dub and i think his voice sounds hot there #and thats like. not athing that happens to me ever <- literally thought sawashiro was hot two frames into the game but anyway #i like politician characters. or characters that are in a position of power ESPECIALLY if they have to act like they dont suck balls #like i very much love the idea of the power of charisma and that type of thing not to mention the 'strategizing' as aoki puts it #that comes with politics. LIKE HE SUCKS DONT GET IT TWISTED HE SUCKS BUT //shrug emoji// #like its why i love the mine rggo stories i like seeing mine's thought process and how he uses his intelligence #smart's sexy to me idk what to tell you but moving on #its fun watching him lose his cool too ESP IN HIS FIGHT LMAO HE STOMPIN HIS FOOT LIKE A TODDLER SHUT UP #i also really love the arakawa family in general and thinking of aoki's relationship with each of them makes my brain explode #especially him and sawashiro that shit is painful to watch and i love it so much #i also thought him going from goth to republican was the funniest shit in the world like i howled at that AND i was distraught #aokis so interesting to me from the notion that he IS loved by his family but he has so much hatred for himself it eats him up #and as a result he cant be happy no matter what he does- how hes constantly seeking validation even if it's nothing meaningful #his lil. Dog-Eat-Dog world world belief to ichi also appealed to my edgy depressed high schooler brain. sorry. #his speech at the lockers also got to me. unfortunately. sorry everyone i empathized too hard it got too real it wasnt funny anymore #like as much as i complain bout the very end the ending is what solidified me liking aoki if not also cause of ichi's impact in those scene #plus... analyzing him and the environment around him is so much fun too.... #idk reasons for why i like aoki also boil down to personal reasons. he still sucks tho so i cant be upset when people hate him LOL #i probably have more reasons or could elaborate more i love rambling but i mean. who really wants to read all that 💀💀 #maybe for a character that WASNT the worst but. aoki is so LMAO #thank you for loving my art regardless :) im sorry i have to be attached to the worst guys ever

Trans Book of the Day #1

Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure by Lewis Hancox

Lewis has a few things to say to his younger teen self. He knows she hates her body. He knows she's confused about who to snog. He knows she's really a he and will ultimately realize this... but she's going to go through a whole lot of mess (some of it funny, some of it not funny at all) to get to that point. Lewis is trying to tell her this... but she's refusing to listen.

In WELCOME TO ST. HELL, author-illustrator Lewis Hancox takes readers on the hilarious, heartbreaking, and healing path he took to make it past trauma, confusion, hurt, and dubious fashion choices in order to become the man he was meant to be. It's a remarkable, groundbreaking graphic memoir from an unmistakably bold new voice in comics.

Really dug this one, especially for its frank discussion of trying to find an identity that fits when you have limited language and resources to do so! I thought the strongest and most distinctive parts of the graphic novel were:

The asides where Hancox invites commentary from his friends and family about their actions and reactions during his childhood, teenage years, and early transition. He has huge empathy for the ways that misinformation create obstacles to social and medical transition, even within a well-intentioned support network. The segments where he and his mother talk about lack of information on youth transition and HRT making them both anxious about actively addressing his early childhood dysphoria are particularly strong.

Discussion of eating disorders as a response to dysphoria during puberty. This is something that I've rarely seen addressed in literature even though it's such a common experience for a lot of trans people.

Depiction of coming into new identities and how that both does and does not change your relationships. I can see this being a great read for teens who are anxious about theirs or their friends' evolving identities altering the dynamic between them.

This is a super charming, very frank and funny memoir that I think will resonate with both teenagers and adults. Hancox doesn't shy away from critiquing barriers to transition in the UK, but the main focus of the book is his warm, empathetic depiction of his younger self and his loved ones.

#i think it's super cool to see a trans author write so warmly about his child self #i understand that not everyone feels that way or feels comfortable depicting that #but i think especially in the context he's writing in as a trans guy from the UK who grew up pretty online #it feels like a very deliberate choice to be like 'my struggles growing up weren't because i hated myself they were because #i didn't have the information or resources to grow up in a way that didn't involve some level of struggle and self-loathing' #like when looking at how he frames the memoir he's pretty mindful about responding to that kind of transphobic narrative #without agreeing to approach it as a debate where he has to humor that line of thought #also there's a scene where he gets very femmed up for a school dance and talks about the feeling of being in gender costume #and being received as a spectacle by his peers for attempting to perform girlhood but not quite getting the details right #and i read that and was like oh no........ #it just brought back SUCH vivid memories of the times i tried hard to perform Girl growing up #and my classmates would always act like i was a dog that had started walking everywhere on just its hind legs #like okay kin i guess....... :( #personal nonsense #char reads trans lit #i will try to do one of these a day for pride month bc i keep getting questions about trans books!

College homework. It's a vanitas still life contribution to my grandfather. I have little painting experience so forgive it's watery botched look.

#I forgot to write the symbolism page thats supposed to go with it #Because it was 3 am and I forgot so I'll just write it all here. I spent way too long arranging this just to not talk about the symbolism #Everything in this photo was something of his. Except for the glass apple #The dark parchment paper in the back is a sort of family crest made for his family all the way back in 1920 #The reflection makes it hard to see but there is a design there #Next to it is a photograph of my grandfather as a baby #Right in front of it is a small urn filled with his ashes #This symbolizes life and death. As was the requirement for the project #Bellow that is a cracked double-picture frame of him and my grandma and their kids back in the 80s #The blue cloth behind it is his Yamaka. #On top of the Yamaka was one of his menorahs #Now my grandfather wasn't Jewish #But he was made an honorable jew by the Jewish community #Because of his dedication to ww2 education and Jewish culture #The Bible with the pride flag on top is meant to depict his personal struggle with his sexuality and his family's faith #The sailors glass pyramid on top doesn't mean anything I just thought it would look cool in a painting #The book in the middle was his Catholic choir book #Meant to symbolize both his passion for traditional music and sound #Because sound was another requirement for the project #On top of the book is his last pair of glasses he had before he died #The cloth everything sits on is actually a velvety Buddhist cloth #The actual blanket is a lot more detailed and intricate #But I was running out of time so I just simplified it #In case you couldn't tell my grandpa had his involvement in a myriad of religions #And finally the glass apple represents my grandmother. It was hers #I felt bad making a tribute just for him. #I wanted to put her in there somewhere #I also feel as though it reflects her role in his life #They were both teachers #And even though she was his wife. I feel like she didn't mean as much to him as she wanted to

#sent my mom those bts x harry photos this morning thinking she’d find it cool #since she likes harry #but she literally just. didn’t care and it kind of hurt bc it’s such a huge deal for me #to see him and the boys in the same frame #i thought i’d get some kind of reaction and i just didn’t #so i felt kinda shitty about it #but then my younger sister came over and she came in my room to look around #and started asking me questions about bts while looking at my pc collection #and then she let me pretty much give her a two hour crash course on bts #while asking questions and letting me show her music videos while she tried to study their names/faces better #and it made me feel good bc i never have anyone around to talk to them about out loud in detail #or rave about them with or anything bc my parents don’t careeee so i suppress it all #and i literally said to her ‘i never get to talk about them’ so she just. let me #mind you my sister and i butted heads so much when we were younger bc we’re so close in age #we have very different music tastes #she will likely never stan bts and that’s FINEEE lol #but it’s nice that she respects my love for them and has even gifted me things/merch and keeps her eyes open for things #knowing how much they mean to me #she’s the only one in my family who really supports it without any weird resistance or fakeness like my parents do #even if they do sometimes try to show interest i know it’s not that genuine #anyway long post just feeling nice that my sister cared about the most important thing in my life even just for a little bit

Y'all wanna watch Star TV?

Perhaps one of my favorite aspects of Pizza Tower is the TV HUD element, which shows our portly paisano's reactions to pretty much everything that happens to him in-game (For better or for worse), and given that I've drawn myself in the game's style, I wanted to attempt making a HUD TV for myself on top of practicing Pizza Tower's trademark wiggly lineart animation! 💙🍕✨

#Star's Art #Pizza Tower #Sprite Art #Sprite Animation #Coolness #I've always wanted to be on TV... BUT NOT LIKE THIS!!! /j #Now THIS was a work of mine that I was excited to post! #I intended on posting it yesterday but opted to post something more in-line with MAR10 Day instead since I had something for it #This started out as a conceptual sketch but I thought it'd be neat to turn it into its own sprite piece! #As a bit of trivia... the TV was going to look the exact same starting out... #... but then I gave it stars... and a bow... and a CES... #Nothing is safe from me spicing it up with the Star Touch! #Something I also wanted to give the TV was its own little watermark like some channels have #This too was a placeholder but I liked the concept (And name of 'Star TV') so much that I kept it! #Lastly... it should come as a big surprise that this is even animated #I don't do a lot of sprite animations as they can be time consuming but I made an exception for this piece for one reason #The wiggly lineart style can easily be replicated by loosely redrawing a frame of something three or more times #This was the process I went about when animating myself and I think it looks quite great! 💙

DEKITAAAAAAAAAAA khj kiss me

#khj probably uses a camera that unrolls the film on its own but still i wouldnt mind a kiss as a reward for how cool n smart i am #<-- is not. at all #shrimp thoughts #i once read? heard? it was probably a video on yt yeah -- that a film photographer remembers all their photos. because every photo is a #One Chance Only so the photographer enters the state of Deep Focus. this is charming to me because it is Absolutely not this way w/ me #i do have a memory of some of the shots i've planned for a longer time (ie. the yellow car which now i realize i framed badly because #there Was A Guy Nearby and i was embarrassed and wanted to Leave Quickly; or the slightly 90s-looking store that i snapped in #the full sun and if it comes out Not The Way I Wanted i'm going to Eat The Photo) #or the pic of a building that i thought looked charmingly Everyday #but that aside? yeah it's a box of chocolates for me #this time i'll have 10 more of them because the camera did Not malfunction even once! but yeah #i'm also wondering if the weird colors on my previous (only.) fujicolor roll were because i was bad at setting the aperture OR because #that's the way it it with them fujicolors. would switching over to kodak gold be a cop-out

here she is!!! i will say that i’m very happy with how cool the weapon turned out, and also i’m now being reminded that i was going to add some patterns to her jacket thingy, but i can’t be bothered to go back and do that so just imagine them

the scythe design is based on polar star and ik also has an earring that matches childe’s, since i enjoy the bond that the original anon proposed!! her mask has that bird-ish design because anon mentioned her being columbina, the ‘little dove’

#if she was a playable she'd use a polearm but i thought she'd be cool with a scythe #the scar on her face is from that initial encounter with the adepti (she's partially blind in that eye which is why it's sorta greyed out) #the scar goes all the way down her body but obviously you can't see it #her cryo vision is in a liyue frame since that's her home nation and is also where she was when she got it #the harbingers probably offered her a regular snezhnayan vision frame to transfer it to but i think ik does still miss liyue a little #so she keeps her cryo vision in the liyue frame #she hasn't been back to liyue since running away but one of the harbingers brought her back the tassel when they visited #when ik puts her mask and hood on at the same time she looks like an abyss mage #or a cicin mage too actually #harbinger ik #art #genshin impact #jtta ik #i reckon ik can do the genshin thing where she makes her weapon disappear and reappear as and when she needs it #imagine mammon's surprise when he makes a jokey threat in the early days and she busts out that massive blade on him #it's both super sharp and super heavy but given all her training ik wields it well #she lets levi hold it because he thinks it's cool and he immediately almost cuts his own foot off
