Do you think you would ever sell copies (digital or physical) of Redirect? Your art is just so beautiful and I am so invested in Mari's story <3 <3

As much as I'd like to do physical copies of Redirect sometime- that's flirting with danger knowing how lawsuit happy Nintendo can be. :'D And being able to read it digitally is already how it's freely distributed! Unless you mean in like- a PDF? I could put that together sometime if I could figure out a decent place to host download links? Still free of course.

#I'm really flattered! #but honestly I'm worried they'd hit me with a Cease and Desist (or worse) if i try to monetize it too much! #chapter 2 wouldn't print well anyway #those very purple pages would get washed out and desaturated in the CMYK printing process :'D

Me, casually browsing Pinterest: oh cute dog, seems familiar *continues browsing before coming to an absolute halt* WAIT FUCKIN MACHETE-??

(I see the beloved gay Catholic hounds everywhere (/pos), though I’m not sure if you’re like,, cool with those folks reuploading your art ^^; )

As a side note, I needed a topic for a research project and your art has sent me on the wild trail of the historical prevalence and spread of different hound species in Medieval Europe and the Mediterranean. Your lads are officially peer reviewed XD

#jumpscared by misplaced Machete #hah #no I can't say I love it when my art is reposted on pinterest especially without sources or credit #but there isn't a lot I can do to stop that from happening and trying to get them reported and removed would take all of my time #so it isn't worth it #choose your fights wisely and so on #also that's really cool I'm really flattered my art inspired you to pick that topic! hounds and history and the Mediterranean #I hope you have/had good time! #answered #hircine-scholar

Hi there!! I just saw your tags on the Vash marksman appreciation post and I really REALLY gotta know your thoughts on the fight choreography bc while I did martial arts as a kid I don’t remember everything and just extremely curious!! Wanna appreciate the thoughts put behind making this boyo!!

👀👀!!! Yes, hello! (Note: I'm also about 10yrs rusty out of practice in hapkido--a Korean defensive art that combines many styles from judo/aikido/etc, so while I may not remember all the formal terms and stuff, I can still SEE the very real and very sexy close combat choreography + randori/grapples/ground work they're smoothly throwing in there!) I've briefly tag-ranted on some former gifs I've reblogged here & here but OK, I can indulge into a little more detail! :D

Let's start with this gif, which is such a nice introductory tease!

The point-blank bullet dodging is some of that sick looking 'rule of cool' inhuman spice, but oh what's this?? 👀 The other dude is dumbly holding his arm out (non-defensively, since if that guy were smart about close fighting, he'd have his other hand up at the ready too) right in Vash's personal space, ripe for the taking - to which OH YES he easily blocks with the prosthetic arm and transitions right into a throw for the takedown. Where he shoves the fool over his shoulder with a lot more power (which is hard to do, esp from a standing position without a solid grip on any lapels either; woo he just goes right in for it), rather than using the dude's own momentum against him, since the guy's literally just standing there (as a stationary weight) rather than trying to punch him in a brawl. But LOOK what else Vash does!!! His block with the prosthetic becomes a grip that both holds/pulls onto the guy's arm during the throw and disarms the guy - by tossing his gun away, in one swift movement! :O Not only that, but there!! We see the first quick tease of him reverse-griping his own heavy brick of a gun into a tonfa position to strike the guy at the back of the neck for a non-lethal stun!!! That is SO cool!!! ;o; Some galaxy-brained application of his no-killing fighting style (using both arms + his revolver in his repertoire...oh wait, that already makes up the title's literal 3 guns *gets shot*) where it looks so fresh and seamlessly smooth af. Great stuff.

Then the Livio fight, despite him being double-armed with long-range weapons, is full of close-range gold from the way Vash tackles him, straddles him, and pins him to the floor with a (forceful!) choke to the throat (like whoa excuse me hello), but ALSO from the self-aware way Vash always has his guard up to keep both of Livio's guns out of the way at all times. D: Whether parrying bullets with his prosthetic, blocking/holding the guns away with that arm too (as shown), or even using his own gun defensively as a tonfa-shield to reinforce his blocks as well.

So then we get to THIS GIF, the same sequence that drove you insane for his smooth marksmanship tracking, drives ME insane for his immediate close-quarters holywhattheflyingshit did he just DO!?!?!?! 👀👀

LOOK AT HIM!!! Honestly it's kinda hard to see everything from how fast he goes, but I love the way he zips in there to grapple Livio off-balance, and ahh!! Look at the way Vash ducks and defensively keeps both arms up (this is SO important, because once you've trained you'll notice how in so many movies/comics' 'rule of cool' martial arts moves, they'll often have a character wildly swing their arms out to the sides to counter-balance kicks and stuff, but no--that's bad/unsafe form; bc if you're in a real fight you need to keep both arms up and ready at all times if you want to protect your core/face from getting blown off! Which just as you've noted, is something that needs to be practiced! The fact Vash has kept his unblemished pretty face for 150yrs is testament to that~) Vash knows how to simultaneously use his prosthetic AND his gun as needed--cause look at that, he swiftly holds it reversed as a tonfa again to block Livio's gun swing, which is a really cool way to use a gun as a shield to protect his own flesh arm from the incoming blows.

But that's not all, because ahaaa~ Fighting defensively is not all he's got up his sleeve! The little boxing jab he throws to Livio's face with his prosthetic arm makes me giggle, because OH YEAH that's a real thing! A type of distraction strike you pull - the same as stomping on a foot or kicking someone in the balls, to disorient your opponent off-guard first before you serve your real (offensive) move. Which in Vash's case leads up to a....O___O;;!?!? TF is THAT.

Here's where they're teasing in more of that inhuman spice again, because Vash holds Livio's guns out of the way (as usual) and revs up for a....fucking one-punch to the solar plexus at point-blank?!? D8 Whatwhatwhatwhat!!! Because that wasn't his gun's doing at all; he was still holding it defensively in that arm as a tonfa! That was his real arm's natural brute strength bitch!!! aaaahaha!!! wow I love it. The guy modestly says he's not much of a fighter but that's not trueeee at all, is it~ ;) I can SEE real proof of that otherwise and I can't wait for what else studio orange will show us to blow our minds.

*Ahem* So anyway did I ever mention how much I like the way he reverses the grip on his gun to use as a tonfa? (both defensively as a shield to protect himself and offensively to stun/strike his opponents with) For thematically how much it seamlessly works for his fighting style to never kill, for how the improvised (but practiced!) close-range practicality and versatility of it looks crazy awesome, and because damn, that shit's hot.

#trigun #gif #commentary #totallynotsilversora #replies #hoho so happy to oblige to share more nerding out insanity for him #studio orange really did their homework that's both recognizable and flattering to those who know our shit! #(just don't ask about the footwork as that's where i'm too rusty to comment on the physics without jumping back in the rec room to try)

i was chatting with two gamedev friends of mine a few weeks ago and mentioned wanting to make a videogame myself one day. and they talked about when they were younger and did game jams crammed in dingy cheap hotel rooms in milan for 3 days straight and how hysterical and fun it was and what a fast way to start making friends "in the industry" while sharpening your skills in a short amount of time and like. man... that does sound kinda fun

#one of them is an hobbyist artist as well and we were showing each other our art and she was like. you know it's a very weird dynamic at GJ #because everyone is looking for artists or coders or composers and you don't really know anyone there and you take what you can get #but also everyone wants a teammate that is really good at their shtick. so the social dynamic is very weird #but if you went there with this art in your cartoony style you'd have people physically fighting over you #which is the most flattering compliment i have ever received about my art and I'm still reeling about it right now

Random western leftists with no connection to the Middle East really do believe that they are single-handedly ‘freeing Palestine’ by completely refusing to work with Israeli leftists, even non Jewish ones, their most valuable asset because Israelis actually can make much more of an impact than they can (you know, from actually living in the area). They truly think that not eating from McDonald’s and harassing Muslim Starbucks employees by screaming that they’re traitors (a real thing that’s happened, ugh) is… helping? If they really wanted to boycott anyway, they would stop using and buying any technology, seeing as Israel is fucking huge in that area and that laptop they’re using to call for the slaughter of half of the Jewish population has a lot of parts made there. But no, that disrupts their day to day comfort, and obviously activism is supposed to be a side thing that never effects your real life. Meanwhile, harassing random leftist Israelis who are very vocal about wanting a Palestinian state but also don’t want their country to be completely destroyed is easy work, no bother!

#terrakion #this really is not a very flattering angle. to be quite honest #i don't think the orange eyes look very good on this one. on this design. they're certainly an accent but they're a bit too bright #they stand out too much. on the rest of this gray-ass guy. they're too Noticeable #especially when they're looking in two different directions from this angle. maybe that's why #it just is not a very good look for you‚ least relevant sword of justice‚ i'm sorry to say

Hello! I was wondering if you’d be willing to take commissions someday 👀. No pressure tho! I just love your art so much

The short answer: "not at the moment, but it is very possible in the future'!

The slightly longer answer: I would have to figure out a good pricing and payment system! PD-MDZS is also where most of my free time goes, so until my life settles down a bit, I would be on the slow side to complete them.

#Ask #Even longer answer: I technically do - but it's been people I know irl asking and handing me physical money/bank transfers. #I'm working on one right now but the tricky part with pricing is that they want the physical copy of it - which is different to online comm #Fun fact: I have gotten a fair amount of commissions from a local hobbiest quilting club. #They show me their pintrest inspiration board and tell me size specifications and I draw out patterns on parchment paper. #I am probably being undervalued by a group of 50-60 year old women but they call me handsome and say I'm doing a good job so... #There was also someone a while back who asked about a tattoo design and I was *so* enthusiastic but I just got too busy to commit. #I truly do appreciate people asking - It is *extremely* flattering that you like my art enough to want to commission something! #I will re-examine my situation in a few months! Someday really is the keyword here; I think I'd have a lot of fun with it! #(All the money would go back into buying more artbooks and supplies too! What a dream!) #Through this blog I've gotten to know a few people who do commissions for a living who I will probably pester for pricing advice #Time really is the only barrier for me right now B*(

The plot of The Martian is just some dude writes in his diary, farms potatoes, and goes on roadtrips.

these are my warmup sketches for the day, off to work on my main projects now!

We have talked about every combo of shadowpeach realizing/not realizing they are gay for the other, both past and present.

Now I give you, present macaque knowing wukong is gay for him and being smug/willing to manipulate wukong to mess with him, especially since macaque got over his feelings ages ago. Present wukong knowing macaque is gay for him and feelings slight pity for macaque still not getting over him, will still use it to mock him; especially since wukong has never felt the same. Both aware of the other's feelings but completely oblivious to their own feelings.

"dam, sucks to be that guy," both say after being around each both neither are aware they are "that guy"

#swk to his monkeys: can you believe? he's still not over me? even dying didn't stop it. i'm flattered really but- #asks #lmk #shadowpeach

Hi hello, I was struggling with my Spooktober challenge, but wanted to draw something today, so I ended up with this:

He is Very Shape, so I had to lmao (I don't draw animals much, so it was a bit tricky, but hope it came out okay!)

Also, terkkuja toiselta suomalaiselta, meikäläisiin törmää niin harvoin :D

#oh no the boy #he looks like his soul is about to leave his body #what goes on behind those saucer eyes I wonder #the horrors it's gotta be the horrors #the shading and lighting are absolutely delicious! #so many good hues and shades #the orange purple and magenta #I use cool colors so rarely (practically never) so it's straight up ~weird~ seeing Machete with a blue color palette #but it works it makes him look even more out of sorts than average #I'm liking all the sharp angles on his ears #oh and the lone strand of fur between them! I draw that too! #I find it terribly flattering when I get gift art from people who say they don't draw furries/animals very often #because if they're willing to venture outside their comfort zone like that it must mean they really truly like the character #I only draw human characters under extreme and unusual circumstances I know how daunting it can be #to switch from a familiar subject to a more foreign one like that #so I see the effort you put into the piece and I appreciate it! #gift art #lumilasi #own characters #Machete #kanssasuomalainen! virtuaalinen yläfemma o/

So what's your opinion on people who leave likes on EEEEVERY single post? Does it bother you or are you indifferent? I've seen some people on here that do not like it at all, so I wondered what your opinion is.

eh! i have my activity feed set so it doesn't show me likes, just reblogs with tags and mentions and whatnot, so it doesn't bother me none! like away!

#sci speaks #i'm flattered... #even when i did see everyone's likes it's always a heartwarming thing. #sally field voice: you like me. you really really like me...

hi saints!!!

so i started a foursaints page in my picture journal and i wondered if you had a favourite quote i could add to it??

ricky my jaw dropped? oh my word??? 😭 I'm really blown away! but i can absolutely give you a quote as well ♡♡

Saints have no moderation, nor do poets, just exuberance. — Anne Sexton

^ if i had to pick a short/snappy quote it would be this one. a long-time favorite & she says my name & she's from boston like meee. i begin to feel parasocial if i think about Anne sexton too long

#a #RICKY WHAT THE HELL..... T_T... this is so so crazy. #i'm self conscious and flattered. but i think it came out looking really charming #THANK YOU??? LOVE???

Thumbing back through your hyden tag over breakfast (love doing tag spelunking and piecing together story bits)- and noticed the ‘x-ray’ post, catalyst stone lobotomy confirmed 👀? (Admittedly. I do not know how the brains of rabbits are shaped)

"Lobotomy" is a bit much, but there may have been a few pesky side effects here and there. Maybe some minor difficulty sleeping, occasional clumsiness. He only really started to notice it in his 30s.

Who knows if it's even the stone, though? He was always sickly. His health declining could just be inevitable.

SHERLOCK HOLMES -- his limits

decided to try my hand at an art nouveau style for holmes -- belladonna and poppies

#sherlock holmes #a study in scarlet #acd holmes #canon holmes #letters from watson #my art #didn't quite stick the landing with the style but given it's my first go at it i'm really rather pleased #flowers are hard #was torn between this shaded version and a flatter stained glass look
