Hi! I really adore your art. I think you’re super talented 👉👈 how did you develop your style? I’d love to improve my own art, so I’m curious to learn more

It's been like, my whole life doing it almost lol, so I'm not sure if it's a thing you can summarize...?

But basically, I think I just started out like, looking at art I liked and studying it and trying to incorporate it? Like, this looks good to me but it it's stylized, so why does it appeal to me, what is it that makes it look so good? And then you try to do your own version of it.

Learning realistic proportions and colours and whatnot is a part of it too, like, even if you do stylized anime shadow dot noses it helps when you know why and how its supposed to look.

I honestly don't know. I've just kind of been always taking note of the stuff I like forever, I consume media that inspires it and I experiment a lot. If I like something, I study it, and then incorporate it, in my own way; I'm not an original at all.

Its not sth you can guideline, you just do it. But you can I guess question yourself like:

Why does something look good?

What is it that makes it look convincing but stylized?

What are they trying to convey through style?

How does it look in real life as opposed to the style?

What do I like to draw most?

If I dont like drawing something that's important, how can I imply it anyway?

how can I make it fun?

This seems like a quiz, but like, it can be so fun! You can really dig into yourself when you examine what it is that you like visually, why it works etc. Art should not be a chore but a relief or a fulfillment or expression or something! Do what makes you feel good and makes sense, TONS of artists I admire have no realistic anatomy or colours but its beautiful, and it's so THEM.

Go with it, enjoy it, art is anything that you make of it. You wanna get a style, collect your resources and Get A Style! Just kinda go with it! Itll be there or it'll find you.

#Best I can do rn sry chief #Not an art #Just fucking copy parts of people and understand yourself and realize what you wanna show #That's the end of it #Also to this day I feel like a fraud. I think it's an artist thing I just feel like I'm a sham BC it's all based on earlier artists #That's just what it is #Artvice

Suroor: exhilaration, intoxication, delight, especially due to drinking. Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng have an unexpected encounter at a conference. Neither of them escapes unscathed.

OMG ANOTHER EARLY SEASONS TRUTHER thats exactly why i love them the show felt so fun and young and not old and tired

i still love seasons 4-8 but 1-3 are my favorites (i barely watch anything afterwards. late 2000s-modern south park just tends to bore me or feels depressing most of the time but there are definitely exceptions) i still watch the new stuff but i dont really rewatch it usually

i thought this season STARTED great but kinda fell off after like episode 2 (i did like the last 2 more though) the ai episode was astronomically boring to me fsr

anyway apologies for this little rant but i am just happy to finally find someone with similar thoughts as me

Never be sorry for your rants!! I love when people agree with me cuz it makes me feel like I'm right (which I am♡)

I'm such an earlier seasons type of guy. The second chef stopped having an important role in the series everything went dark. 1 to 3 is really just the golden era of SP episodes and yet so many people skip them (just like they skip rpdr season 1 to 3 even tho season 3 is the most iconic in the franchise,,,really makes you think 💔💔). The newer seasons are literally just Trey's projection diary where every character is Trey Jr. Honestly I'm guessing that's why PC doesn't get a lot of screen time anymore, cuz he's an actual good dad and partner and God forbid a male character not hate and despise his wife and kids.

I need more people to discuss SP with like in a socratic circle.

#the sucubus episode is genuinely one of my fave sp episodes ever like chefs parents and the loch ness monster thing was so funny to me #the fact that the lochness monster has been following these mfs around since chef was a toddler.....thats gold to me chief #can you tell i miss chef a lot ? i miss chef a lot..... #also garrison refusing to admit he was gay was his best era #real talk tho ive rewatched seasons 1 to 3 sm ive started unironically saying poontang idk what to do about it #Also this was the season where we got crabtree </3 i miss her everyday #Also also these were the seasons where liane was as morally bad as cartman!!!! #worst thing ab the seasons is when oppressed ppl are like actually oppression is ok cuz free speech ♡ #im personally a seaspn 4 hater apart from SOME good episodes cuz i fucking despise the episodes that end in 2000 and chef goes nanners #tho helen keller the musical makes up for it like its such a rpdr episode... #rpdr season 16 needs to make a helen keller the rusical with guest star Timmy

anyone else living in that constant state of “i just want to create something good” while also feeling “anything i create is inherently bad because i’m the one who made it”

the wallpaper in my bedroom went shit so i took the opportunity to draw on the wall whatever i want. today, my father said that we should get rid of the moss and repaint the wall white. pretty sure i still will draw in the sake of drawing until that, but ive also decided to post what i have already. and also close ups of drawings i like the most!

#have the moss affected my health considering it was here for at least a year and i sleeped here almsot every single night?Im Not Sure #you can feel free to give me ideas on what else to draw here bc my head is empty LMFAOO #and with how fucking slow things are happening in this house i think its gonna be at least a month before we do something to that wall #A MONTH AT BEST. #im still waiting when father will fix the doorknob sigh #hilichurls #v2 ultrakill #master chief #halo

i really fucking hate that at 21 i still have strict rules abt shit i can and can't do but more than that i hate that i don't do anything about i

#my friends are all sleeping over at one of our houses tonight so i asked to go #i am still not fucking allowed to go to sleepovers apparently. and i still dont know why #i spent all week worrying abt when and how it would be best to ask and arguments i could make to convince my mom #and when i finally asked her she immediately shut me down and instead i just fucking. rolled with it and said nothing #so i guess somehow at 21 fucking years old were still doing the 'you can go until midnight then come home' thing that 8yr olds do #levi.txt #vent tw #and theres NEVER going to be a better time than this to let me do it. its my friend of 5+yrs mom knows her parents and trusts them #hell her dad was a police chief. were not going to do Anything that were not allowed to do in his house #but no i still just get 'you know i dont like sleepovers' and 'youre not taking the car overnight'. no explanation no debate #and i didnt say ANYTHING to defend myself bc i let my family say fucking anything and get away w it every time #at this rate ill be 30 w no backbone still living in this fucking house istg #and its not even like ive ever once given her a reason to put restrictions like this on me! ive been well behaved my entire life #i have never once broken a major rule or disobeyed her in any meaningful way ive Always done what she wanted. no matter what #ive literally been almost perfectly behaved other than normal kid stuff i have tried so fucking hard to make them happy #my parents are just insanely fucking overprotective and always have been #not being allowed to do these kinds of things is exactly why i never had friends growing up #bc how are you gonna be friends with someone who never shows up outside of school and cant watch anything with cursing in it

if I had a nickel for every time I got a dancer in HoH that doesn’t know what standard step is I would have like five nickels. I am numb to the sound of nickels

#loading into the area and immediately hearing the sound of step finishing like #Alrighty There Chief #I am numb at this point like you do you #yes dance partner me the tank i hope this is fun for you #im stuck between not caring and wondering if some people don’t know the job #and not wanting to look like an ass saying anything so I just sit there and do my thing #I shooty me arrows or fire me spells #or be amazed at doing a thing w dragoon correctly sjdjdjd #my friend and I have hit the part in stormblood of getting past doma #and realizing that was our favorite part of the expansion #and we’re back to hey let’s skirt the rules of this cultural tradition to rally these people #to go to war for a country they have no stake in #and not at all question the morality of that course of action #i figured out another part of my disappointment with how the game treats Lyse #and it’s at least in the azim steppe she treated lesser for the sake of explaining something to the player #she’s like wow there sure are a lot of xaela here! #so the game can explain what is going on in the steppe #rather than explaining things differently #yes strangers in a new land don’t know what is going on but there’s better ways #they do it with other characters too I just think it’s not the best way of giving exposition #owen plays ffxiv

Okay played a bit of Ensemble Stars and though I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just not for me I find the fact that the twin’s group name is “2wink” VERY amusing have a nice day

#Look look I couldn't get into Bandori because it has one linear story that follows the group i literally do not care about #and Ensemble Stars is the same way?? #but like. it's that on top of the fact that there are just SO SO many characters that I was really hoping it'd be like prosekai dhgjndg #because Prosekai is like ''Hey bestie if you don't want to play More More Jump's story you don't have to qwq'' #''just play the stories you care about we won't hold it against you qwq'' and that's GREAT dhjgknfg #because I can just sit and play everything but more more jump and i'm happy with my life and I don't even hate those characters just #their story doesn't interest me at all lmao dshjndg BUT ANYWAYS ensemble stars- #dude leveling up characters is way too complicated #there are just TOO many characters sdhgjdfg #All the songs are original to my understanding which is coll but not really for me i wanna play songs i know dhsjgkfhg #*cool #and like i knew getting into it that like all the characters are pretty boys so you KNOW the target audience is like straight teen girls #which is fine! but within the first 5 seconds of me having freedom to do what i want after the tutorial #i experienced SO much fanservice dshgjknfh #also the twins do that big/little bro thing which is SUCH a big pet peeve of mine you are the same age ehgjnfsb #anyways i'm sure it's a good game and if you enjoy it i'm very happy you have something that you can enjoy in your life! #and if this ends up int he main tags I apologize I was trying to ramble so it wouldn't lmao dgjdh live your best life #this one just aint for me chief. i'm gonna play prosekai then go to bed sgdhjnk

#best friends if not lovers #yes i do kinda ship them #nnt #to be clear I'm talking about legend of zelda link but like any zelda game #though i think twilight princess link and botw link would be the best fit for meliodas #things they have in common: blonde; swordfighters; old enough to drink alcohol (with link it's a probably tbh) #and if you look into the booklet you got with every new wii game you can read in there that link wanted to be the chief of Ordan #so they also both want a domestic life #i do kinda wonder if TP Link ever went back to pursue this dream of his after the events of TP bc that really isn't clear #bc yeah he's the hero and everything and saved princess Zelda but also he went through all of that to first save the kids #then to save Ilia #and then i think to help midna #like it's not like he just went into the dungeons like 'lol dungeon haha treasure' #ya know?

How would Zhaoxi be with animals? IK seems to like pretty much all of them no matter how big or terrifying (apart from raccoons apparently.) Would he be similar?

in this case father is very unlike daughter, because zhaoxi's scared of most animals - either because he's afraid they'll hurt him or he's afraid he'll hurt them. unfortunately animals still tend to like him - he's the friend that'll be desperately trying to ignore your cat, but then your cat specifically wants attention from that friend exactly

dogs will run up to him while he's out and enthusiastically nose at his leg while zhaoxi stands there and acts as if he's playing musical statues. a seagull flies a little bit too close to his head at the beach and he immediately surrenders his food to the entire flock.

#similarly (despite being a parent) zhaoxi will usually shy away from holding anyone else's baby or babysitting someone else's child #he is terrified of children because so much can go wrong around them #with HIS child it's different because he knows his daughter best and all that #(and also because children can be very good at bullying adults and zhaoxi would not be able to cope) #answering asks #anon asks #dad in the devildom #also!! ik does like raccoons!! she only slanders them out of love!!! #there is no animal or creature in existence that ik would not like #it could be the ugliest goddamn thing in the world and ik would delight in it #'it's so funky looking!!!!!' #zhaoxi is similar in that he enjoys LEARNING about their behaviours and stuff #but put him in front of an actual specimen and he's cowering in the corner #i think one of ik's chief laments in this area is that not all animals enjoy being pet #snakes do not enjoy being booped on the head and it makes her so very upset

the new part about Prihine rlly makes me ship her w Eos fdgdfgddfgdf like........... not really 'pair' them but..... F to Blade i will need to canonizeTM their little affair as long as it doesnt cause antyhing drastic in the long run

honestly its mostly bc she s been in her place (the arranged marriage vs) and didnt find it in herself to deny her and it kind of turns into attraction?

also toying w the idea of Eos having short hair now when they meet again a reversal on their original styles

#but i cant give up on her super long haiirrrrrr..best i can do i waist length chief #shepherds of haven #xx #shoh #oc: eos #prihine #im rlly getting inspired to draw them together

The more I think about it, the more Laios and Falin's different perceptions of their parents are a case of "same parents, different childhood".

Whenever someone asks Laios about his and Falin's family, he comments on how they treated Falin but never comments about how how their childhood affected him - in fact, he kind of glosses over it. It's Falin that everyone is rallying to save, it's Falin that's Marcille's friend, it's Falin that everyone has a positive opinion of - he's just the weirdo brother that gets to share some of her light sometimes. He's the one who's only tolerated when he's useful in a dungeon. Falin's treatment is a large part of the reason that he left, but it's the symptom of a larger issue.

When we see Laios' thoughts of his parents in his nightmares, it's all about the expectations that he's supposed to live up to: the expectation to stop being "childish", the expectation to get married (to who his parents picked) and have children, the expectation to take over from his father as the village chief, the expectation to adapt to something that he isn't able to be in the way that people want him to. And these are all things that he has had to be told in some way: he had to be told that Shuro didn't like him, he had to be told that told that the gold-peelers were taking advantage of him - these aren't thoughts that just appeared on their own, these are all failures that someone has explicitly pointed out to him and they haunt him. Some of the things he considers his biggest failures are his failure to provide for and protect Falin and those have very tangible examples he can point to.

We get a glimpse of what happens when he fails to live up to his father's expectations when Falin is born. He expects a certain reaction from Laios and when he fails to give that reaction he physically puts him down, dismisses him, and underestimates how much he understands.

And that's something that's shown to be a bit of a sore point for him - people thinking that he doesn't understand something because he doesn't express himself like people expect. The few times we see him snap at people are because people think he isn't understanding something because he isn't reacting "normally".

On Falin's side, the expectations seem to be a lot different - she's the younger one, for one, she's a girl, and she was so young when the fallout from her having magic happened. She too had an arranged engagement, but that was broken off when she was sent away to magic school and since then, their parents only seem to be passively involved in her life. She's mostly been freed of the expectations that their parents had for her in her village - she won't be coming back after all. She understands why they sent her away, she wasn't completely oblivious to the villagers treatment of her and it was, arguably, for the best so she is at peace with what their relationship is for now. But she still wants to go to her hometown and see for herself with adult eyes because she has never really had the space to do that.

I don't think their parents are inherently evil people - the truth is probably somewhere between Laios and Falin's version of the story, Laios' side tinged by too much cynicism and Falin's by too much naivete.

It just strikes me that when he tried to provide the "normal" way he failed, but given the space to do something similar to what people expected of him, but in his own way, he succeeded. He isn't perfect but his efforts are ultimately fruitful and he is able to carve out a place for himself, Falin, and others who had been ostracized like them to call home.
