#artists lose out first

[arielluva]

so back in april i had the idea to draw ace attorney characters as if they were in fantasy life (so essentially combining two of my favorite games) but only finished phoenix then. tonight i finished up the page with some more, and since we know what the new lives in fantasy life i will be, i got the excuse to include vera as an artist :))

id under cut

[image ID: 5 digital drawings of some ace attorney characters drawn in the fantasy life art style, which is a very expressive, stylized chibi style. they are drawn in the outfits for different lives as if they were in fantasy life. in the top left, phoenix wright is drawn as a paladin, with text next to his head that says "Phoenix Paladin". he is wearing silver armor with gold trim, the trim forming a 'P' on his chest. the 'P' has a red gemstone in the center of it. his shoulder guards also have red gems on them. he has a long blue cape fluttering behind him, as he stands confidently, holding a sword in his left hand and holding up a shield with his right. the sword and shield are also silver with gold and red accents like his armor. next to phoenix, in the top middle, apollo justice is drawn as a blacksmith. he has text next to his head that reads "Apollo Blacksmith". he is wearing a teal apron on top of a white shirt and pants. his sleeves are rolled up, and he has a red piece of fabric tied around his waist. he is wiping sweat off his forehead with his right hand, and holding a hammer in his left. next to apollo on the top right, is vera misham. she is drawn as an artist, with text next to her head that reads "Vera Artist" she is wearing a pink beret that resembles her bandana, and has a paint brush with pink paint on the very top. she is holding her sketchbook in her right hand, and a paint brush in her left. she is wearing brown gloves that are stained with various colors of paint. she is wearing a pink dress with a darker pink collar and bow, and the skirt of the dress has a darker pink line going horizontally across it. she has a white apron tied around her waist that is also stained with various colors of paint. she is wearing brown sandals. on the bottom left of the drawing is trucy wright drawn as a wizard, with text next to her head that reads "Trucy Wizard". she is in an excited pose, running while holding her staff, a tall wand with a glittering green gem on top. she is wearing a light blue pointy witch hat with a white ribbon wrapped around it. the inside of her hat is pink. she is wearing a medium length black dress with a white belt, and she is wearing pointy white shoes. she is wearing a light blue cloak, with the hood on her shoulders, that has her green diamond brooch hanging where the ends of her hood meet. her cloak is fluttering behind her and trimmed with white and gold, the insides if her sleeves being pink. on the bottom right of the image, ema skye is drawn as an alchemist, with text next to her head that reads "Ema Alchemist". she is wearing gold goggles with pink lenses, and her hair is drawn more poofy than usual. she is wearing a white coat over a light green dress. she has a pink tie loosely around her neck, and she is wearing a darker green corset with gold buttons. her shoes are plain black. she is holding a potion bottle filled with a yellow liquid in her right hand, and is looking at it calmly, with the left hand in her white coat's pocket. end ID].

#my art #ace attorney #fantasy life #fantasy life 3ds #phoenix wright #apollo justice #trucy wright #ema skye #vera misham #i tried my best to replicate the fl art style so hopefully that comes across to the like. 2 people that recognize it VBDBDND #i think phoenix and vera turned out the best but i also like ema too.. shes very shaped :3 #kinda glad it took me so long to finish this bc otherwise i probably wouldve drawn vera as a tailor but. theres an artist life now #also accidentally discarded this post the first time i typed it up but thankfully i had the image id copied so i didnt lose all of that text #i think i wouldve lost it if i had to type all that again but alls well that ends well i supposr #also gave me the opportunity to go back and color in apollos hammer bc i forgot the first time and. since the post was gone #i might as well fix it #anyways i had a bit of autism moment while drawing vera but im normal now. maybe #2023

#hermitshipping #trafficshipping #ddvau #desert duo vigilante au #ddvau fanart #scarian #sjkfhkdjfs hope you lovely artists dont mind me @ing you im losing my mind over here /pos #ANYWHO HI OMG #so while i was drawing i thought about like #the aftermath of the... mother spore situation?? #like.... hOW much trouble is grian going to be in for not being catalogued as a witch?? #will this affect his powers long-term??????? #will he be fired???? #what if he's fired??? #hotguy will probably be the one to reach out to him when all is over because he'll lose sO much #BUT WHAT IF HOTGUY HAS TO ARREST HIM AFTERWARDS?? #HOW WOULD SCAR LIVE WITH HIMSELF IN THAT SITUATION #UGH. THE TURMOIL. IM HURTING IN THE BEST WAY. #at any rate seeing one of your friends being taken over by some fungus THING cannOT be good for your longterm mental health and safety #first pic is really a study in expressions #second i had fun with poses #third i like seeing cuteguy saving people in the mundane :)))) like the peoples superheroooo

[bytebun]

hey don’t cry. 10 million blorbos from your shows, okay?

#commander cody #obi-wan kenobi #uh. i guess implied #codywan #star wars #bytebun draws #ok on twitter sometimes japanese artists i follow will caption their au posts with 'delusion for those who can accept anything' #(and then explain the au) (or at least that's what google translate tells me) #that's how i feel about this one. #can't imagine a universe where this guy would sit down to play mario cart w his bf's family after an obvious crying jag #but like maybe he watched legally blond or something & got rlly moved #abt the main character finding her own path with an identity separate from her partner without losing the core elements of her personality #and self-expression. and also winning at the law. you know? #au cody can have elle woods as his blorbo. #in my au where he's doing law things re: clone citizenship #but also fuck stylizing crying genuinely hard. idk if i can get stylistically simpler than the first pic & still convey the precise emotion #that i want. i'm cheating there with like some actual shading instead of hard lines... more studying required #it's like difficult to draw people crying bc/ it's one of those emotions that changes the whole shape of your face... the invert of a #beaming smile. the tears aren't the important part... that's why the 'stoic guy sheds single tear trope' is so funny #they're out there w their plastic immobile faces and a fake tear when the important part is all those scrunched up microexpressions #someone trying rlly hard not to cry has the deeper mouth corners & tense brow-eyelid combo & that wrinkle near the nostril #unfortunately all of these lines are also the only indication of old age in most anime lmao so its so so hard to figure out how to draw em #shld do some ch*insawman or g*lden kmy studies probably. those guys r pretty good at funny looking faces

my heart might give out from stress

i don't want my drafts to remain in purgatory if that happens

here's a snippet from the blowjob brothers

happy vday or whatever

hlwi snippet: timkorv ceo and pa roleplay

tldr what you get when you have two overthinking maskers that are dating

(mature, allusions to exhibitionism)

Korvin is supposed to shadow Tim today as his PA. At the same time, he can stealthily join in discussions on some Wayne Enterprises & Subsidiaries’ projects for the next fiscal year. It’s dubious as hell, managerially incestuous, and not at all billable to any of the workbooks. Technically, Korvin is “Out of Office.”

Tam gives them a Look, Lucius gives them a bigger Look, and they both separately say, “Keep it out of Meeting Room 5B.”

“Pardon?” Korvin plays the wide-eyed mangénue well—first PA job fresh out of his management degree, definitely-of-course-not hired for his credentials nor family connections.

“Director Kwan-Wayne.” Lucius removes his glasses to polish them and says in a mild tone, “That 3 AM with M-Systems could have your name on it for the rest of your tenure. Clear?”

Korvin drops character for a brief moment of honesty. “Crystal, Chief Fox; keeping it contained.”

They get left alone late morning in Tim's office. Tam pointedly does not look in their direction and pushes the controls to shut the blinds.

That’s not Tim’s concern right now.

Right now, his only concern is coaxing the young and nervous PA to come play with him. Cute face, DSL, firm ass, and positively stacked—Tim has to have him under his hands as soon as possible. “I don’t have super hearing, Mr. Kwan. You’re going to have to come closer to my desk.”

His PA walks to the front of the desk, posture stiff and straight like he’s about to crumple with nerves given any leeway. He doesn’t look Tim in the eye; instead, he leans over the desk and clumsily holds the tablet out to show the agenda for the day.

“Mr. Drake, I have the brief for 11 AM printed—if I could go retrieve—”

“Mr. Kwan, no need for that; just brief me like this.”

“L-Like this?” Poor thing is flustered and baffled. Tim supposes he needs a bit of clear direction to help him along.

“Oral report,” he clarifies. And Tim can’t help it when the back of his pen traces against the younger man’s jaw. The metal tip goes up to the corner of his lips, tapping that tempting beauty mark right at the edge. All of it would look amazing wrapped around his cock. The heat would fog up those cute glasses, and if Tim gets careless with his aim? A little mess on those unruly curls wouldn’t be out of place. “Nervous when you speak, Mr. Kwan?”

“I-I,” his PA swallows, the motion framed by the turtleneck under his suit. The suit itself is nicely fitted, if a little juvenile in the fabric weight and cut; obviously a gift from someone with more means. The turtleneck pairing is tasteful, but a choice—hiding love bites? With the gift suit and his looks, maybe this type of “PA work” isn’t outside of the younger man’s experience. “I’m trying to work on. Uh. That, M-Mr. Drake.”

“Luckily for you, I have plenty of advice to offer,” Tim offers with a smile. “We have half an hour—why don’t you come around and I do that while we discuss the brief?”

His PA gives a bashful glance at the wall clock, though still frozen in his vulnerable pose and in Tim's hand.

“Don’t be shy,” Tim whispers, letting the back of his fingernails graze along the younger man’s cheek. Dark eyes follow the path his hand takes, trace it back to Tim himself. When it’s obvious that the other is fighting back a timid but interested bite on his bottom lip, Tim lets his gaze fall to “bedroom eyes” and cocks his head to beckon his new playmate over.

Their roleplay quickly falls apart after that, though because neither Tim nor Korvin can stand being Not Correct. The derailment happens at the intended coy exchange of, “‘Oh, what if we get caught?’ ‘Guess you’ll have to be quiet, sweetheart,’” and then—

“What? No, now I’m actually concerned. You’re the loud one,” is refuted with, “no, that’s you with the actual anechoic sex room.”

“It’s not a—whatever! I literally had to install a trained bypass filter on the hall cams because of you!”

Never mind the unhinged meticulousness in finding the right sounds to train said filter on— “And you got caught, so fine, we’re both loud but I’m stealthier! ...and you’re louder.”

“We have the technology to be, y’know, objective. You just don’t want to be wrong.”

“I don’t want to dignify this argument with actual data.”

“Yeah, that’s how I know you’re actually louder,” Korvin rolls his eyes, even as he continues to contort himself under Tim’s desk. “This front drawer’s in the way.”

Tim pushes his chair back and bends to look at the bottom of the drawer. “I think if you kneel further back, but then—”

“—yeah, I'd have to lean forward.”

“Oh…but that's a better angle for your throat, though.”

Korvin nods thoughtfully. “You'd have to keep me from falling too forward or chance someone seeing my hands stick out,” he muses.

“I'll keep my ankles crossed back in. Brace against that,” Tim suggests, and at Korvin's nonchalant thumbs up, he rolls back in front of his desk.

[marclef]

the marclef has drawn another clef. i kinda like both clefairy and clefable equally so they were both on this list, they're both good pink friends.

i love the idea that these little pink blobs are based on the whole moon rabbit thing. so i kinda went full Rabbit Chonk with this boy.

#i already draw my clefs kinda chonky so that's pretty normal i guess. #my art #october 2023 #artists on tumblr #pokemon #clefable #i have a clefable from my very first game transferred over onto my scarlet copy. he turns 10 years old next year...... #want a fun story though? no lie i was playing legends arceus and. there was a clefairy outbreak so i was like ok ill go check it out. #i beat up all the clefs. the outbreak transitions into an Alpha Clefable outbreak. #THE FIRST 3 THAT SPAWN ARE ALL SHINY #I FUCKING SCREAMED #the only proof i have is. the clefs in question i guess and a really shoddy hastily taken phone picture. i was losing it. #lotta rambling here but. man i just really like these little pink things.

[sualne]

in a different time.

#artists on tumblr #my art #my ocs #lidkaer #my comic #first one is present day in the story. second one is a 5 years ish flashback when they barely knew each other and last one is ethan hanging #out with a 27 years old imri. idk how canon that is for now but ethan can see/hang out in others folks memories sometimes. also i dont thin #ive ever explained their card game but its a mix of poker+drinking game and whoever lose has to talk about themselves so they both cheats #because neither of them wants to. ethan started it.

[jibunwo]

kinda impressive rotbb passes the bechdel test considering there are only two women

#like i really wish there were more women. but also i really like the ones that there are #and god i mean imagine being tang soso. your family doesnt allow its women to learn martial arts or hold important positions so you #desperately try to marry yourself off to the first man you think might give you just a bit more freedom only for a fucking HOT WOMAN WITH A #SWORD TO SHOW UP AND TELL YOU SHED CREATE A THIRD PATH FOR YOU AND THEN SHE KICKS THE SHIT OUT OF THEIR (MALE) PRIDE AND JOY SO THAT NO ONE #CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU LEAVING WITH HER TO BECOME A MARTIAL ARTIST. I WOULD LOSE IT I WOULD FUCKING DIE ARE YOU KIDDING ME #god. women…. #mine #rotbb

How have I been in fandom for - going on 8 years (?) and not gotten into fanvids before?? All the association I could have been making.... All the memories.... All the composition and clever editing....

#going a little bit insane frankly #it's been about a month of absolute and utter mcu frenzy in my brain and i'm. vibrating #truly feels like some kind of intense fever at times #i've rewatched talitha78's set fire to the rain vid so many times it entrances me #it's to the point where every time i see that shot of loki grabbing mjolnir i hear 'you rose to claim it' #btw hello 13 years late to the party but like. 20 seconds in and i felt like that vid unlocked something in my artist brain #no because the lyrics are 'i let it fall / my heart / and as it fell / you rose to claim it' right #and so she puts clips of thor being banished and losing mjolnir and then loki trying to grab it #which. the interaction between the song and the video making mjolnir thor's heart.... not even 20 seconds!! #it's so clean to me #it's like when i actually took a good look at bill cipher's design and realised he had such expressive potential #and i had to do like a page of doodles about it #in 20 seconds that fanvid from 2011 made me want to make animatics so so bad #which btw i watched it partly because a fic i liked cited it as an inspiration #and partly because i looked at the dates #and realised that the creator put it out like not even two weeks after the movie came out?? #absolutely insane. i love this so much #this is like having a family heirloom in your hands #grandma lending me the necklace she wore to her first date with grandpa for my anniversary dinner or something #i have just entered a new fandom and the fans who were here before are showing me what it was like when they'd just arrived too #the sacred texts and such also #anyway. man i love fandom. #wow i have a ramble tag now

genuine question. right now i’m like 115.8 lbs, and the sm4ll3st pit-to-pit i can take is 16”. (and then 15" is too t1ght on me.) If i get down to 110, would it be possible to ever fit into something that’s 14” pit-to-pit? at what point during w31ght l0ss, or how often do you need to 3x3rc1se for your bust measurement to go down?

#it’s a shirt for an artist who put out a record that was my very first vinyl record when i was 16 #his music def still means a lot to me idc if it’s 70s teen pop #fitting into 24” w41st pants has CHANGED me #skinnyspø #4n4t1ps #skiny girl #ed not sheeren #4n4blr #pro for me not for thee #i need to lose this weight #i wanna be perfect #i wanna be pretty #an4r3xia #starv1ng #skinnni #tw ed diet #ana tricks #ana trigger #@na motivation #4n4rexia #4n0rexic #@na trigger #i wanna be skinnier #🦋tw #🦋goals #ed no sheeran

Ben Whishaw and Andrew Scott are both nominated at the Indie Spirit Awards this year! Hope they both win!

yesss i saw!!!! but i'm pretty sure they won't win, haha. i feel like charles melton is getting supporting, and greta lee will prob be best lead (don't quote me on this)

also ira (director) and franz (lead) were nominated, and passages for best picture. poor adele, the only one snubbed 😔😔😔😔

#also have i mentioned how much i DESPISE this gender neutral category shit? #used to be guaranteed 2 female winners now there are ZERO guaranteed female winners (p much all the other categories always go to men) #you cannot have gender neutrality in a patriarchy #same way you can't be 'colourblind' in a white supremacy etc #look at the oscars - best director is gender neutral and THREE women have won it EVER #best cinematography is gender neutral and EVERY WINNER has been male #etc etc etc #the brits tried a gender neutral 'best artist' instead of 'best male' + 'best female' and no women got nominated at all! #making awards gender neutral without first changing society's misogyny just means women inevitably lose out #it's lazy ugly misogynistic slacktivism #*gets off soapbox*

[ria-starstruck]

more earrings!

i didn’t finish adding the middle starsthing so they r just currently lacking a dangly. they’re sorta supposed to be stylized eyes but maybe let’s pretend they’re eggs or mutant avocados or something

#they're also sooo light this was when i just started my first couple sets of polymer clay earrings and i was NOT expecting them to turn out #light #so i'm afraid to wear them even in normal circumstances bc i could easily lose one #bc theyre SO light #i might make the last star dangly a bit bigger + heavier and maybe that'd help weigh them down #also please ignore those excuses for jumprings...i have literally no proper jewelry supplies atm lmaooo #art #craft #crafts #earring #earrings #abstract earrings #star earrings #eye earrings #jewelry #artists on tumblr

In another world, fate was just a little bit kinder

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #original characters #sotrl midori #sotrl haya #seeds of the red lotus #look I was feeling extremely emotional recently. and thought about how different life would be for my OCs if Haya was good #and I'm a sucker for AUs like that. it's spiritually healing. so of course I had to draw something for it #I originally wanted to draw a companion piece for suiren too but then thought it was just rehashing the idea #and I draw Suiren a lot already anyways so decided to just take the excuse to draw adorable little Midori and run with it #I have quite a few thoughts about an AU like this too. it starts out like sotrl does. haya gives them the cold shoulder and is kinda mean #but then the news of the rl's imprisonment reach gaoling. haya is shellshocked at first. distances herself and sends the girls to their room #pretends she can't hear the crying. but really she wants to cry too because as estranged as they are. ghazan is still her little brother #she indulges late that night after she think the girls are asleep. deep buried trauma from losing her parents resurfaces #but then she hears footsteps behind her. Midori is awake. haya wants to be angry at first but finds she has no energy to #they talk a little. the warm glow of candlelight catches midori's eyes and their grey shade turns gold. she looks so much like him #haya realises Midori is even younger than ghazan was when they lost their parents. suiren is half the age haya herself was #no one cared for her and ghazan back then. she won't let history repeat itself #so she reaches for midori. heart skipping a beat when she lights up slightly. and takes her into her arms #holds her close as midori hugs her back. if she closes her eyes it almost feels like she’s 14 again. holding her brother #she swears then that she’ll be as good of a guardian to these girls as she can so they don’t end up like their parents did. like haya did #it’s a long road to unlearn her bitterness but she tries her best. it’s easier with midori who soaks in affection like a sponge #Midori’s happiness is infectious. with suiren it’s much more difficult bc the prejudice Haya holds against the swamp are still there #as is the hatred for their mother. it isn’t until the townspeople start calling Suiren a swamp rat does haya snap #she no longer cares about getting alienated from the community that barely welcomed her anyway. she will defend her niece from them all #it’s the first time she calls suiren her niece. they talk too and Haya apologises for favouring Midori and starts working on fixing it #their life together isn’t perfect. the townspeople side eye them. they can’t afford bending teachers. Haya still has to bite her tongue #but it’s so much better than what could have been had Haya let her pain consume her and started to take it out on the girls. they’re happy #I have so much more to say and theorise about when it comes to this au but alas. tag limits are a thing. so I’m leaving this here

in dh vs bb, when ichiro used his hypnosis ability, he had jiro supporting him the way jiro and saburo are supporting him here so i wonder how dependent his ability is on his bros lol

#this is vee speaking #the answer to that is fascinating imo lol given the evidence that ichiro has never used his ability until the 2nd drb #and the reason given is that he’d been too worried about his bros to use it in the first lol #so i like to imagine that he can use it without them TECHNICALLY but if both baby bros are out then he mentally just can’t cope to use it #he’s not like doppo who explodes when he loses hifumi in battle lol #tho ichiro genuinely might need support to stay standing using it 🤔 #btw doppo loses hifumi in this battle in the one of the most gut wrenching scenes for how it’s portrayed lol #10/10 art direction sasuga kiiko jyo god amongst artists🙏 #also!!!!!! peep the nmcd nod!!!!!!! i love crumbs lmao!!!!

[fitia]

Outro: Tear is really such an insane song. You read the lyrics and you're like oh okay, this is about a particularly bad breakup. And then you watch the Break the Silence documentary and learn BTS wrote it about each other.

#fitiaposting #the way my jaw dropped when I learned that bc I spent so much time going over the lyrics for this particular song and like #I was like ''wow they are really in their feelings who hurt them'' whole time it was then #the context of this song just makes me so sad though like it was in their first album made after their official international breakthrough #(well... into the US market actually) and there was a lot of their feelings on their fear of the insane amount of fame they were getting #this was the era before they renewed their contracts and seriously considered disbandment too #There's a lot of worthy criticism on artists losing their touch after a certain amount of fame and especially later on I don't think it was #very unfounded for them especially after the admittance in this year's FESTA by Namjoon and other subsequent interviews that he felt he #was losing his touch on music #So Outro: Tear was like... a masterpiece to come out all of that in the earlier stages of it. Though it spoke mostly on their relationship #as a band rather than on their love for music itself. and two years later you got Black Swan out of it and just... damn. Damn. #When BTS get real they get Real and it often makes me sad

So they used AI to make the credits for Secret Invasion

And it looks like ass

#i could understand if it was used as a tool for a first pass for quick turnarounds #have ai make the rough then have an artist WHO KNOWS WHAT THEYRE DOING go in and polish it #but that is not what these are being used for #they are using them for final work on the belief that it doesnt matter #seriously it looks like ass #the proportions are wonky the colors swirl in weird ways #and not in a 'its meant to be unsettling juxtaposition' kinda way #in a 'the computer is extrapolating what it thinks should be next but it has no critical thinking skills so it doesnt find the best way' #'just the mathematical easy way' #to say nothing of the artist(s) the model was trained on losing a possible big name piece of work #how many animators missed out on am opportunity on this? #all b/c animated credit sequences arent viewed as having artistic merit so lets just get the computer to do it #who cares? #i care #anyway when yall start ripping on marvel rip on that
