cw// implied character death, double life nonsense

because you are love itself.

#my art #trafficblr #double life #divorce quartet #<-- insane about how scott killed pearl in limlife. #this comic has been sitting unfinished in my files for a good month its def not finished to my usual quality but god it needed to be done #so uh scott... yeah. i like villain scott but not pure evil scott. i like a scott whos scared of being loved and manipulates others to spar #himself the pain. i like a scott who ditched pearl because their friendship was actually becoming real and when the server gods confirmed i #with DL he freaked out a bit and ran off. #ofc u can interpret this comic however u want but i was just thinking way too hard abt smajhor #i feel like often ppl get divided into scott did nothing wrong vs scott is pure evil alot of the time #which is understandable cus like i said with fanart/fic u only have so much space to show someones personality #but idk i like him all angsty. like i know im a bad person but to keep myself safe i need to keep being like this. #hes so blorbo *puts him in a blender* #i hate him *wraps him up in a blanket and takes him home* #cw implied death #cw implied violence #scott #pearl

Over the weekend I spent some time doing cyanotype sun impressions with my pal @sharkfish. Mostly it was an excuse to play, but I also learned a lot about dos and donts of working with contoured and 3-dimensionsl objects!

This is probably my fave print that came out, and I have tentatively titled it "Memories of Chicxulub"

I think back on my own “talent” as an artist & it’s like. never seen such a complete lack of design sense or visual aesthetic in a kid so good at capturing forms

#the complete lack of ability to do fashion or interior design or etc etc any sort of visual aesthetic is really WEIRD vs. the rest of my #artist friends who tend to care much more about these things. I have an academic understanding of aesthetics #Skill at art is a trained thing for sure but usually ppl will have lopsided abilities when they begin and that is what I’d call ‘talent’ #even when it’s often transferable skills from previous interests #what I drew reflected heavily what I was interested in which is true for most artists I think but it was such an #overwhelming quantity of work for someone who didn’t end up going into art. So much life drawing for no real reason except that I #loved drawing people and cartoons and the objects around me. #and so much joy and love for colour… #my work improved at a breakneck pace as soon as I got the ability to lay down colour very quickly (got a tablet) #[blue period voice] I loved art because it was made by people for people #bytebun rambles #if I drew cars or buildings instead they might’ve given me the autism label real fast huh

Art vs Artist 2023!! 💥 I didn't expect the year to be so colourful... but there is a Severe lack of purples. Anyway, it was a literal struggle trying not to add Pavitr art because he keeps infiltrating every month T-T

Happy to say I'm proud of the art evolution! Thank you Spider-Verse for pushing me outside the box and really embracing the fun and whimsical style of Mumbattan. Who knew mimicking old timey comics would be so much fun?

high quality versions of the above images under the cut!!

i fuckin love this clip i want it tattooed on my soul

#i'm so very grateful for spiderverse giving me such a boost in terms of art style #atsv came along and i tried to cement myself as “you're that guy who draws pavitr all the time” and like. mission accomplished? #been up to my eyeballs with so many things in my real life and feeling pretty low all the time. but im glad i still had the energy- #-to pump things out every now and then. the art and its evolution is more or less a sign im still doing stuff #in fact i think a big reason for the departure from my old style was simply because the new one encouraged me to have fun #like “it don't need to be perfect. messy lines are a part of the charm. bleeding colours and imperfect inks are what makes art cool” #so in a way i think changing art styles made ME feel a lot a better about myself and what i do to some extent #but yeah. other than that... if you told me to name anything interesting that happened to me this year i couldn't tell you #it's just not that kind of year for me #i got chalice of the gods for my birthday tho! so that was a real blast to the past #might post some doodles i've made of some scenes pretty soon #happy 2023 yall!! manifesting that next year is a good one #art vs artist #artoftheagni #art vs artists 2023

I love Willow as a character because of what she represents and teaches about the human condition and because she shows what humans result to on a bad day or when in desperation to do something but if I knew somebody like her in real life I really could not stand being around her. Just the severe lack of emotional maturity and intelligence she has and her insistence to Will things her way all the time and completely ignore or disregard people’s consent and not take into consideration their views or feelings as if she’s the only one in the room that even matters.

I couldn’t be friends with somebody like that. I really couldn’t. I couldn’t tolerate the blatant disrespect. I’d be constantly fighting with her. Telling her that how she’s behaving is selfish or arrogant or childish and could potentially risk or endanger hers or other’s well-being or both. That it’s not worth what it does for her.

She’s a fascinating character in a fictional sense.

But knowing a character like that in reality…

Different story for me. Absolutely.

And it’s a good thing she is fictional because I wouldn’t have the authority to tell anybody any of this. But I know for fact it would slip out when I’m moody and because I’m just a take-no-shit kind of person. I might be quiet and stoic in real life but I’m not carefree and lenient like Oz and Tara are. The reason why I can say Willow is my favourite character in the Buffyverse is because I primarily look at her objectively. She’s an object. A vehicle for learning. And that’s what matters most to me in art/entertainment.

As odd as it may seem to say, - I feel like I could get along with somebody like Xander more than Willow and I know the whole fanbase would take me to task for that and be completely confused by it because the majority of the fanbase think of Xander as the worst.

But nah, not for me. Xander uses his worst traits to become his best self. It’s always opposite for Willow. She uses what she does best to be the fucking worst and it’s not until she’s actually at her worst does she come to realize this and does a 180. But even then…

Nah, knowing a “Willow Rosenberg” in real life would not be a long relationship for me. I just know it.

But I think it’s very interesting how we can love characters that we don’t particularly think much of as a person in art/entertainment but can love as a character. Or maybe it’s just me that’s like that.

I mean fiction is fiction and reality is reality.

I analyze the fuck out of this character. Mostly negatively. But nevertheless - enough to realize that she most definitely is my favourite character. There are characters I don’t ever talk about at all and that’s because I don’t think much of them as a character but probably would like them a lot as a person in real life.

#Alen #Conquest of Gotham #me battling for my life vs this man to get his design to a point I'm happy with #I'm getting closer... his hair has been the hard part... #I'm so rusty pensive wobble #Hi this is my pathfinder character and he's a cringe fail dude #despite how long it took me to get in his head I'm finally making progress and i'm latching onto him with my teeth #so far he's: broken his lock picks #been SWIFTLY stabbed to death (and lay unconscious for almost all of that nights encounter) #And has proceeded to fail most of his more important skill checks #his one real success so far has been drinking nasty trash booze and not getting drunk or throwing up #disaster child #art: mine

I hate risking restarting any kind of discourse but this is massively misleading and kind of. IDK uncomfortable how quickly ppl just resort to making their own callouts in the wake of all this shit. Like people were pissy abt dtwof yeah but The Thing That Ended up getting the poll taken down and actually prompted a lot of the racism posts was homestuck going up against Paris is Burning.

Like idk. From my pov, the two users were having their own separate reactions to these events, and Anonymous Users from both’s followings went to the others askbox to start shit. It Really Really Doesnt Seem to me like the kind of targeted harassment that ppl are painting it as and more of an issue of the site’s culture. Bc until dms or whatever come out between people confirming that either user meant to stir up drama Genuinely Why Would I believe otherwise. Theres a lot of racism on tumblr and theres a lot of transmisogyny too, and we’ve seen how these things affect events that a lot of users see and participate in

#ITS JUST UNCOMFORTABLE #like idk i Feel like The way these things are worded leads to people not actually engaging with what happened #it makes a specific narrative and even when there’s transmisogyny it’s uncomfortable to just ignore the racism #like idgaf abt either user and im not naming them so theyre not in the tag but like #the racism was homestuck fans’ where just The Idea Of it winning bc ‘ppl would be so mad’ IS a bit racist when the criteria is #best queer media: Paris is Burning vs Homestuck like its just not comparable #to take a work about peoples real lives a historic documentary about queer social structures and #a webcomic about Life on the Internet in the 2010s its just. idk not the kind of thing that we as queer ppl should be mocking yknow? #and i say that rlly broadly bc drag and ballroom IS something that we risk losing in cultural/generational shifts and im sorry hs but i dont #think it commands the same level of respect as an art piece when it comes to the question of queer media #even if it was a tumblr poll the willingness ppl had to just overlook the question even when confronted with what PiB was #it rlly is just uncomfortable #and To Ignore That in order to make your point abt how one user Totally Organised a campaign against hussie (who i have not seen Actually #confirm that they received death threats) when all thats on their blog is a reaction to This

How it started:

Vs. How it's going:

#or alternatively #planning stage vs real idea practical stage #vs one more stage the rough draft and then final #but rough will be final #or it'll be under/WILL be the final and won't be 2 separate pieces of paper #iii #want to do watercolors #but I ALSO #want to do aceylic for clean lines #sigh too many art mediums #words #art #real life #real whole life events that I'm doing!

Khada “I have a compulsion to commit atrocities as a way of coping with feelings of inadequacy and nihilism because there is no beauty in the world so I must create my own twisted version of it the only way I know how” Jhin

vs

Lukai “I see beauty in all things no matter how ugly or dark they might be, and I want to see the best in everyone and help them reach their fullest potential like I never had the chance to even if they don’t deserve it” Hwei

#ria.txt #jhin is like fake deep he’s like a Reddit atheist #but most of his motivation does come from a very deep potent low self image so he overembelishes #jhin sees himself as deformed and broken and completely incapable of living a normal life #he has a compulsion for committing atrocities and sees no reason to resist because there is nothing for him but death and his ‘art’ #vs hwei who grows up with a very contained idea of what is ‘acceptable’ and ‘unacceptable’ #Hwei hasn’t had the opportunity to do any real introspection before jhin comes along because he’s not given the freedom to do so #so hwei isn’t really sure who he is outside of his art so he defines himself by it #there is darkness in them both but the main difference is that hwei ultimately resists his because he sees purpose in living life #‘no one can take the part of me that just wants to live’ #is one of my favourite hwei lines because Jesus you just fucking nailed it #I’m rambling now I’m stuck at work and very tired #league of legends
