Here’s just a few of my personal favorite shots from my Greed animatic!

I meant to put this together right after the animation released and then of course I completely forgot, but hey managed it in the end :P

I also added short little commentaries to each of em if you click through but good luck reading em with tumblr’s UI lol

#i didn't realize how well the car and impalement shots paralleled each other until just now #those are two of my favorite shots too it's great haha #click for added random commentary if you want it! #my art #doodles #fma #fmab #fullmetal alchemist #fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #greed #greedling #wrath #father #martel #roa #dolcetto #artist's commentary

"Where are you going?": B-Side

This was my original concept for my "Where are you going?" drawing.

I was having a blast working on this, but then I decided to give it a do-over because I felt like it was too busy and zoomy. It seemed hard to make out the objects on the boat.

Here's my two sketches of the concept:

I came up with the one on the bottom first. I thought the idea of Kit-Kit being worried was cute. I wanted to make them look like an absolute creature, standing on the horizontal board of the boat. However the overall concept of sinking, or the boat being so lopsided due to the weight of their belongings just made the concept have a stressful and negative tone, and I wanted to make something more uplifting. I wanted to draw Kit facing fear rather than panicking. The top sketch was fun, but I just wasn't a fan of the flat side perspective. I didn't end up liking how I made Kit in a rampant motor boat and not entirely in-control of the situation.

Here's a sketch of the boat Kit-Kit is operating. It has two motors and you turn them by moving the handle out in the front.

Another reason I gave "Where are you going?" a do-over because I finished 13" x 10.5" 600 ppi canvas. I didn't realize I made it too big until it was finished, and I didn't want compression to give the artwork an ugly blur. I figured it was an opportunity to try something different with the concept.

there is a sense of loss i can't quite shake. an ache i don't think i'll ever be rid of. it started when i was very young and has grown alongside me ever since. it's not to say i haven't had good moments ever in this life. i've plenty a palette to draw my brush from, but still i choose to paint sorrowful creatures. that feeling is what is most familiar to me, and in an odd paradox, has brought me the most comfort with my work.

The way scum villain has so many themes about writing/the literary arts and mdzs has so many themes about music and tgcf has so many themes about visual art and how each character that represents each of those respectively has their own struggle with their craft (passion burnout, loss of control over their ip/creation, obsession and dissociation) that gets turned on its head as their stories continue and their art comes to represent satisfaction and connection and devotion and love

#i know ive talked about svsss being a love letter to art and creators but i also think mdzs and tgcf have similar meta commentaries on #the nature of being an artist #perhaps a little dramatic to phrase it this way and i hope people dont get on my ass but i think wwxs downfall is somewhat reminiscent of #the artist being subsumed by their own creation and their legacy (like wwx's inventions) being bastardized and #perpetuated even by those who spit on the original creators reputation #and then tgcf obviously has major themes of art as a coping mechanism roped into that religious devotion element #whatever i just like art i think #tgcf #mdzs #svsss

I tried to draw this fully on model and in line with how an actual scene from the show would look, but then I drew the background and I couldn’t help but give it some dumber lighting effects.

more doodles of my favorite fictional family that consists of 1 (one) actual canon character dioryth is too fun to draw sorry

#bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #astarion #appindex #tav #dioryth #no extra commentary from i just love fictional families. #i see that being a bg3 artist is either just drawing the characters or drawing more ocs than canon characters. #AND ITS SO FUN lets all do it and hold hands peace on earth llalalala

d***** can get fucked for refusing to advertise this movie. it really is so good and the many artists and creatives who put their jobs on the line to bring this story to us deserve all our appreciation and love. 

#strange world #ethan clade #SUCH a cute and well-paced movie! #shout out to jaboukie lmao I've been following him on twitter for years and I never realized he was an actor until now #great commentary on harmful farming practices #and kind of investigates the common assumption that humans hold dominion over the rest of the world #this movie promotes the idea that we are just another bunch of organisms on this planet and we are acting as parasites #the gay boy plot really delivered it was actually so heartwarming to see.... #sigh #turns out representation does matter #/s #went home and watched encanto and moana and now I'm watching lilo and stitch...... sigh #ok bye #animation #fan art #art #supporting artists #photoshop #digital art

not to wade into discourse about shows online which I swore to stop doing but I think some of you need to recognize that not every piece of media is about you, and that focusing only on the themes that you personally identify with while erasing the ones you don't is Not Great

#some of you only know how to analyze things through a VERY specific queer lens that matches your own personal experiences and it shows #and I just think there is a lot more to enjoying narratives about having a complex relationship to gender in a very specific historical era #than arguing about what specific pronouns and labels they would use in 2023 #and that white queer people reducing stories that are about a character's struggle with being multiracial #to *only* the queer elements that we identify with is. not great??? #you can't separate these things you can't just ignore them #I'm obviously not equipped to do in-depth *commentary* on that aspect of mizu's character because I am in fact a white queer #that is for other people to speak about and I'm enjoying reading their takes on it #but like. you need to engage with media that is not about you. you need to assign artistic merit beyond what you personally identify with. #you can find things that resonate with you in them but you should not make the whole thing about you

saw a video of a performance art piece on instagram the other day where a woman was sewing clothes using white fabric and her hands were covered in black paint so it stained the fabric and the machine. i can't find it anywhere but i've been thinking about it all week

#text #ive googled so many variations of 'sewing black paint fingerprints fabric' #and nothing #guessing it was a commentary on fast fashion & how much work goes into one garment #do any of u know what its called/have a link/know who the artist is/anything/please
