I’m so late to this but i started watching ofmd and jim has stolen my whole heart 🍊

(no reposts; reblogs appreciated)

#my art #artists on tumblr #art #fanart #digital art #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd jim #jim jimenez #vico ortiz #jim can stab me actually #i know the jim/oranges art has been done a billion times but that's because it's a lovely take so here's mine #this was overall a super fun piece to work on #especially during finals week... #im actually insane for starting a painting during exams #but we don't talk about that #what we do talk about: this entire show oh my god #currently on s2 and the part where jim says life used to mean something??? and later when archie tells them it's just life?? #tore my bleeding heart out!!! peeled it like an orange! #there's also just so much unapologetic queer joy in this show and i love it

the imagery of no health regen…… wounded skin that doesn’t heal…. torn clothes….. burns…. scorch marks….. bite marks….. blood everywhere…… unraveling bandages…… oh…….

#secret life #secret life smp #if i ever write a slsmp fic. everyone is going to be wounded as FUCK #like. i love it when fan artists draw the characters punctured with arrows #or burned after dying to lava/fire #and now with no health regen. how the injuries don’t go away #a worn and ragged green life almost desperate to turn yellow #if not for the full set of health again #stab wounds that don’t close. a heart bleeds until you die. the scratch marks itch under the armour #ohhhhhh it’s so sexy #teammates changing each others bandages bc the blood never stops #infected wounds? that only ease when more hearts are earned from the secret keeper? #i’m so obsessed with this already #like yessssss the player gets weaker and weaker as they lose more hearts #they are so damaged and injured they can barely raise their shield #their whole body aching. scathing with every hit and blow #and then when they gain hearts. and the RELIEF #of scorch marks fading. wounds closing. blood drying. pains easing. broken bones set themselves #so much cruelty in the world. everyone takes that extra little care with each other #no more friendly slaps on the shoulder or even high fives #everyone is just very still. too fatigued to do anything but survive

Mike's og character design having a birthmark is really cool i think but also related gripe i have with the show is them not giving him a scar post s3 which would have been in the exact location the birthmark would have been in originally. perfect set up and then they fumbled the prime opportunity to make a homage to their original idea

the show always picks and chooses when to be medically accurate. like how Steve never needing immediate medical attention after the multiple blunt hits he got over the head is an actual miracle. but it's easy enough to suspend disbelief on that since people get knocked out and get back up again in movies all the time. everyone's used to that

but actual bleeding wounds are a lot weirder to just magic away especially when Jonathan and Nancy both got lasting scars from something as clean as a knife cut in the same show

face skin already scars incredibly easy to begin with and on top of that the cut Mike gets is the opposite of the clean knife cut J/ancy made. that's from getting his face forcefully smashed into a metal pipe and giving it's bleeding like that (unlike Max who only got bruises, no broken skin from hitting the wall) he seems to have either hit a valve/edge or the blunt force was That much. that wound lining is going to be jagged as fuck either way, no way that heals cleanly irl (only upside here is the mall being built as a cover for a new military base so the pipe's at least not rusty, small wins. low tetanus risk who cheered)

i get why they'd ignore it from a technical perspective. giving a character facial scars is always tricky since you need to make sure it's in the exact right place every day with how obvious even small placement errors would be. i get they avoided the hassle. still, fumble imo, would have been really cool. kind of more surprised i've not seen more fans go with medical accuracy on this, that's things fandom usually jumps on. i've seen no art and like one fic go with that scar now that i think about it

anyway that's the closest canon got us to the birthmark territory but then they didn't L

#mike wheeler #i get why they wouldn't want to give him a scar from this for practical purposes #but then them making the wound that bad was the real fumble #you can have Tiny cuts on your face and that shit's immediately scaring #giving your character a 5cm bleeding cut on their face and then showing them 2 months later with no trace of it biggest medical lie yet #if they didn't want to give him a scar they should have given him and Max the same level of injury #which is Max's bruised and red but no skin broken type of injury #THAT healing with no scars is believable #not whatever they did to Mike here because that looks like you'd need to get it glued at the very least #but since we didn't get that in canon #seeing byler artists draw Mike with a brithmark occasionally is so sweet

the new video was greatly needed if watcher had any hopes of staying afloat. unfortunately, this backpedaling does not change the fact that

1) high production "television quality" content is what they want to make

2) this content is evidently not what people want to watch (even post-apology i'm seeing a lot of people saying they liked bfu better than anything watcher has produced)

again, if they have a clear vision of what they want to make, that's great. but unless there's a market for that content, then it's not going to turn a profit, or break even for that matter. yes, artists deserve to be paid for their work, but art is always bought by people who want and have an interest in said art.

im an artist pursuing my dreams too, but i don't expect people to buy my niche paintings just on the principle that i am an artist creating what i want. if i wanted to make money from this and turn it into a business, i would take commissions and specifically create what other people want. that is what having any kind of artistic job is about, unfortunately.

it's great if what you want to create and what people want to see overlap, but that's not always the case. and i really fear this is the case with watcher and they won't pivot enough to fix any of their problems

#here's an example #i know gmm is a way bigger company but #rhett and link do gmm stuff #but occasionally produce something a lot more involved and creative that is inspired solely by their wants #those videos dont do nearly as good as gmm does #but its an outlet for them to still have some creative control #and the people who like those videos love them (im one of them!) #so it is possible to both produce content that is profitable and to make content that pleases you as an artist #you just have to find a balance with it and unfortunately watcher has no balance at all #like even watcher's 'lower quality' work uses so many resources like. guys theres a reason youre bleeding money #and people giving you $6 isnt going to fix it #they need an overhaul #cut back to basics to find their footing before trying these super ambitious projects that they're not sure will pay off #watcher #im talking again

I posted this to tumblr about a month ago, but now it's cleaned up, twice as long, and has some header art. Read it over here!

hawktrap x dropping whatever they were doing to comfort them .

the way they both squeeze sanchez / margaret closer to them . GOD .

#god to be held like that by hawkeye #the way he saw sanchez coming and was ready to catch her i will NEVER recover #the parallels they did between sanchez and margaret too bc margaret didn’t know how to handle sanchez when she was scared #and didn’t know how to handle herself when she was scared just like sanchez was #i love it when we see hawkeye and trapper’s soft sides bleed through #or like okay being sweet when they don’t HAVE to be . like when they go out of their way to comfort #because sometimes it’s like okay they’re being kind to this soldier because they’re kind but also like . that’s their job #i just like the tender moments where you see that their just so loving and compassionate #WAILS #ESPECIALLY in the early seasons because they’re always joking so there’s not a TON of moments like this #god . GOD . #they care so much #song / artist : better / sign crushes motorist #episode : bombed ; 3 x 15 #m*a*s*h #mashposting #mash #mash 4077 #mashblr #hawkeye pierce #hawkeye #trapper john mcintyre #trapper john #margaret houlihan

you draw like the official tf2 comics... i am EATING it

thank you! that was a fun excercise - it's always interesting to analyse why styles look Like That! some of it is technical (chunky thick black outlines w/ no broken lineart for easy point-and-click colour filling for a 70 page comic) others are more subtle (everything has 3 shadow tones more or less and you can have shadows WITHIN shadows which is crazy to me...i never do that in my personal art haha) I was learning how to draw people for the first time by looking at tf2 comics 12+ years ago so its makes sense that there's a bit of influence hanging around as the bedrock of my style even now

#asks #i think that picture is the one you're talking about! if not sorry for the tangent but thank you so much for the compliment : D #i aspire to be as solid as the tf2 comic artist/s. the casual sense of structure and solidity of form is really inspiring. #not to mention the excellent hand construction and lowkey BUT expressive faces and the holy grail - can actually draw shoes #i try not to look at them much/at all these days though as it'd be too easy for stuff to bleed in and im interested in other things #like line weight n tone and trying to improve my anatomy skills organically

one way for a music performer to earn my full respect is if they carry out acts of self mutilation on stage

#that is how you know they are ♯Real about it truly dedicated to their craft & passionate #none of that gay spitting or whatever. start cutting yourself up BOY. or rather #as long as you do the latter the former you can do too without it being just Whatever #this is obviously specific to shock making-mamma-maaaaddd genres of bands/artists in general that i am into #not expecting like IDK france gall to start smashing things on her head to make it bleed. RIP miss gall i really love her music #my all time favorite female artists ( one eastern one western ) are known to just act as ragdolls & Bleeding on stage #& i think that is very based & adds to the experience/atmosphere of everyone involved there #this is sadistic of me ♯SORRY like obviously no one should kill themselves but... >_> ... #i just cannot help but think of the ones not doing it as posing Arse cowards SORRY about it #that one image of the stick figure shoving a gorey image to its stick figure friends Yeah that would be me. #when will i grow out of being an edgelord Probably Never

Week Two (Demonic) of @feefal's Funguary challenge: Destroying Angel

Look at this. This is the shape of a mushroom that will, if consumed, make you feel awful, then make you feel like you're recovering, then absolutely tank your kidneys and liver and kill you.

Don't Eat Her.
