gay bugs! as promised!

touch starved vessel gets to be impatient and politely request affection when they crave it. i don't think quirrel would mind much.

#hollow knight #quirrel #the hollow knight #quirrelhollow #thk #pure vessel #lorne art #i promised gay bugs. hollow's cloak is so much fun to mess with #quirrel tests me because it's so easy to make him look extremely silly and strange. i need more practice #which means More Gay Bugs on the horizon #i also need to Improve. like the other art from a week or so ago there are parts i like and parts i don't. #i should also try to do quicker/less in depth stuff and post more sketches and the like #i just get so concerned over 'oh its not finished enough' meanwhile i go wild over others' sketches so like. #@ me. give yourself some grace.

finally finished some full body art of vesper and her three main outfit variations

#and by outfits I mean 3 nearly identical variations of mostly the same items #fhr #sidestep #fallen hero #mayhaps I should have finished this BEFORE I sent off for a comm #OC vesper #digital art #I need to draw her in more outfits as I practice more but this is what I picture as core rn #I do wanna do one of a skinsuit peeled down and worn as just pants with the top tied around the waist like a boiler suit #with a sweater or something on top #like I'd picture it's something she may wear at her base working on armor stuff or plans #that's a bit of my own fashion taste creeping in #tho to be fair her whole fashion is pretty adjacent to what I like to wear just like a bit of a dif focus #since it's what I'm familiar with #like I lean a lot into streetwear/techwear + more put together stuff but for her I wanted to pull it more to athletic adjacent streetwear #anyway fashion is fun

“white mourning.”

#‘‘A white mourning. A modern death. Divorce or something similar. All you can do is put more distance between you & him. make him smaller.’’ #jean is a very easy character to hate if you know nothing about him. & you know what they say. easy target doesn’t make for a good practice #judit literally compares harry to intellectually disabled man yet you don’t see ppl hating her because she is outwardly nice. #she’s polite yes but she doesn’t care as much as jean cares for harry #he is not perfect. he is mean. but loyal. if he truly didn't care he wouldn't hab come back to martinaise & coulda just reported harry’s as #he put up with du bois’ bullshit for years and built a toxic (totally straight) relationship with him yet always comes back. #he says he will leave you in the village to die but please understand harry isn't exactly a great person. especially pre-bender hdb. #planned a make up joke & put on a wig for hdb even tho he wasn’t the who started the whole fiasco #you can hate him all you want for leaving harry before & during tribunal but how could he have foreseen all this bullshit would have happen #his second leaving is kinda bullshit writing but #jv is dealing with his own demons too. clinical depression. partner almost died. job is shit. case spiraling out control #i do not blame the DE staff either. sometimes shit just happens. not everything needs a grand explanation. #but it definitely coulda been handled better. but i understand. resources were sparse. #i relate to ​jv. as someone with temper issues & attention problems i have to remove myself from the scene or i'll say shit i'd regret late #my man is having the worst week of his life. leave him alone. #kim is great but have u heard of a man who thinks he's old when he is only 30 & luvs horses & his commie boyfriend that he's divorcin' soon #disco elysium #de fanart #jean vicquemare #disco elysium fanart #jean heron vicquemare #jean posting #illustration #de #artists on tumblr #my art #I WANTED TO DRAW THIS FOR MONTHSSS YOU COULDN'T IMAGINE.

If I wanna learn to make sweaters, is it better to learn to knit or to crochet? What about blankets?

#tabby talks #i kinda hope it’s crochet #i tried learning to knit once and i was not great at it #which i mean nobody is great starting out #but i apparently knitted weird #i went to knitting club at school and they were just kinda….. why/how are you holding the needles like that? #and i was like it’s the only way that i can 🥺 #it was holding one between my knees btw #maybe i just needed more practice…. #knitting #crocheting #fiber craft

I love that Phoenix is so father figure coded in the main trilogy with Pearl. Like the official art where she's napping on his thigh or being held up by him to put up Christmas tree ornaments, and the whole vibe of him bringing her along to crime scenes, and in the stage play where she gets scared and freezes in place so he just picks her up like a stack of firewood. Even from the second game when he's only like 25 he's been irrefutably dad-shaped. It should've been the least surprising thing to happen when AJ first came out that Phoenix had become a dad. That's been an important part of his personality, he probably was born to be a girldad more than an attorney.

anyway it's also really funny to think about him lowkey adopting the half-sister of the woman who tried to kill him and her twin sister who tricked him into thinking that she was his girlfriend.

#I am actually so upset that there isn't more Pearl & Phoenix content #shes like his first kid #au where phoenix gets partial guardianship bc Maya had only just turned 18 and having to take care of an 8yo at that age sounds like hell #i can totally see him just carrying her around bc she's so tiny and he likes flaunting how strong he is #i can kinda get on the side of feenris if that means he gets custody of pearls #i mean phoenix is practically a fey at this point #i hc him as having no family or being cut off from them so Maya trying to find any way to make him her brother is really funny to me #would she channel her mom to sign adoption forms for a grown man? #i mean at the end of aa3 he did the spiritual ceremony thing with Maya and pearls which was something he really didn't have to do #the found family is just so strong in this guy #Mia saw him sobbing in the courtroom with no other family and decided that he was free real estate #needed to ramble again hii #phoenix wright #ace attorney #pearl fey

Sooo~ Here's a little practice I did for S/atoSugu voices~

It's definitely a first try, and I'm honestly more anxious than normal about sharing/posting it since I haven't seen any (!?) G/ojo or G/eto wavs on here, soooo my own internal bar is their actual voices, whiiich is difficult (impossible) to meet.

But as long as I clarify this is practice for getting their tones/speech patterns better, (and figuring out what pitch to set my voice at ToT) then I think it'll be okay that I posted something not up to my own standard..? maaaybe?~

Either way, I scripted, recorded, and edited this today, so I'm throwing it out into the void and whatever happens happens! (big thank you to @veersnz for basically 'shut up and allow yourself to be imperfect'ing me, I needed it <333)

#waterfallwav #still a wav even though it's just practice~ #I have ~ideas~ for them but to do so I need to get their tones/inflections down better #I think... part of the reason it feels so hard is that I adore G/ojo's tones/way of speaking so much? #Also just he has this sort of playful freedom that I find a biiit hard to copy #taunting/teasing which I do too naturally #so it's harder for me to do it the way HE would and not the way I would i think?? #also just... not having seen anyone else attempt them leaves it feeling more vulnerable~ #like I have to match the ACTUAL voices- not just do a good mimic in my own voice #either way I'm throwing this and scurrying away and hoping the fact it's practice means it'll be alright ToT #snzaudio #snzwav

Granite in my chest--

#bloodborne #gareth #trying to embrace whatever this render style is a bit more bc it's very freeing #no cleaning. no lines. #as soon as my instinct is to 'do a new sketch layer' I start colouring instead #it might mean some parts are ??? but it's about telling myself the shapes and stuff are still there to sell whatever it is #ie the clasp on his robe lmao #2 versions because I like the clean one lots but what's a bloodborne picture without slapping some blood all over #GARTEH MY SON blows dust off him hi hello #why him? idk he was in my head #and all the sleep token I'm listening to... the album art makes me think about bloodborne #and additionally I know I need to practice more and not just draw Nini again... (takes physic damage) #me before 2024 has even started: I'm gonna try hard to do better with art in 2024 #I will probably fail this idea but hey another year another promise to try and improve maybe this time I will #art: mine #tw: blood

i think my art was so much better like two years ago when i was into tw and spn and all that stuff what do i doooo ToT

#idk i just enjoy that stuff so much moarrr what to doooo :^| #i still struggle drawing sonic characters i just need to learn i guess 🙄🙄🙄 #ououououughhh #i do also miss the more serious themes sometimes i do want to draw something but im like #sonic is so silly it just doesnt feel right most of the time DSFBVFG #ofc there's place for serious stuff in the sonic franchise but you knowwww what i mean i can't write a fic that i would write for spn or #tw for this fandom it would be hilarious to even imagine those characters in these situations #anyway i need to practice drawing little critters

ok but the fact that "aziraphale is softening. they haven't spoken in a hundred years: he's realizing they're still friends" and "there's no need to thank me that's what...friends...are for" was in the same night is making me go INSANE

#we NEED to talk more abt the 1941 ep im so serious im not normal about it like i had such high expectations and it suppressed them all. #am i disappointed there wasn't a rejection scene like i predicted?? yes ofc but also aziraphale said he did the apology dance that year so #i wonder what else could've fucking happened #but anyway. let's focus on what DID happen: aziraphale literally GLOWING with love in the car. crowley telling him to shut up cause of a #compliment. aziraphale helping crowley out and crowley looking at him like 'you'd do that for me?'. crowley not only letting aziraphale #practice magic with him but ACTIVELY playing a character to help him and i mean that scene was literally just crowley flirting with him #crowley indulging aziraphale by going to the magic shop with him and agreeing to participate in his show despite the fact that he NEVER EVEN #SHOT A GUN BEFORE. him just leafing thru the guidebook till he realizes there's a miracle blocker than starting to frantically flip thru it #her hands SHAKING on the gun and them being so afraid of hurting az. 'no paperwork :))' sure my guy that's what u r so happy about ofc #'but do u really think it went well' 'absolutely' with such sincerity. the book description saying smth abt ifa demon were to happen across #aziraphale they should report it immediately to the demon crowley. 'you could've just walked away' 'well you said 'trust me'' 'and you did' #its just. its one of my favorite eps it's so nice #good omens #azicrow #good omens s2 #aziracrow #go s2 spoilers #go s2 #good omens script book #good omens s2 spoilers #aziraphale x crowley

Sometimes self care is having a very stern talking to with the wounded scared parts of yourself that don't want to do the hard and difficult things and reminding them that nothing will get better if the hard and difficult things aren't even attempted

And then as a reward you promise to buy those wounded parts of yourself an entirely hot pink/pastel pink practice set if they agree to do the work required, as a little treat

#my doctor hasnt cleared me for the pitch yet so I haven't been practicing or playing yet this season and it sucks #i went to nola to support the team and did so! but i still felt out of place and forgotten about because i wasnt playing #i was rooming with players and the majority of them were very self involved (semi derogatory) which i wouldn't fault them for #if it hadnt been so deeply exhausting and so constant even after the tourney. but it is what it is i was there for them #im just tired of always feeling like the forgotten 'oh right and the other james' and feeling unwanted which isnt true #i have a place with the ferals even with my illness its my wounded ego causing issue. just cause the rfc coach was passively a dick #doesnt mean i need to pass up a wonderful opportunity for play time and friendship. ill have a chance to play with the guys #in time and ill have time to socialize with them as well in time #but i shouldn't squander an opportunity just because im wounded and bitter because of old traumas #besides more time to get fundamentals ironed out #so im ignoring my doctor somewhat and km gonna start practicing this week #lightly. just light stuff you know. cardio and working with the ball maybe since i shouldn't be on the heavy bag yet #and then next week ill buy my practice set and customize it as a Bribe to myself

I’ve had a lot of success trying to replace “sorry” with “thank you” where appropriate, but I think I’m also going to try replacing “sorry if I” with just “hey, did I” if I’m genuinely worried I’ve done something wrong

#timemachine wuz here #I just think it’s both the attitude I need to practice and more what I mean to communicate

[sealbatross]

SO, there are these crows, with different weapons.... and there's gonna be a birthday party. NOTHING can go wrong

#character design #nah i just needed quick designs for a storyboard assignment lol #but i'm kinda invested ngl #gotta fix fix fix these boards they are way too illegible #i mean #the assignment was to practice moving 6 characters around in space #so i thought #the more movement the bigger the challenge the better the learning experience #right????? #right??????? #this is gonna drive me insane

I have 3d printed some very special dice

It's a D1. It only has one possibility.

For when things are certain.

Although, thinking about it, usually 1 is the number people don't want to get, what they want is a 20.

So I also made this

(Also here are a bunch of earlier prototypes)

#joke dice #3d printing #3d printing adventures #dice #this was based on the one advertised on curiosity box which are all out of stock and i didn't want to wait #hand painted and a bit rough but they work #my machine is an fdm printer which is less suitable for the smaller end of things and i wanded these to be small #so they could blend in with other dice #i carefully adjusted the number size and position for balance and clarity #but imperfections in my printing means a little cleaning up was still needed #i kinda want to try more weird dice shapes #this was part of a present for a friend so this has been scheduled for after the party in the odd chance that she visits Tumblr before then #the only practical use i think is for expressing certainty (with perhaps just a bit of sarcasm). #'for that i need you to roll a D1' #'I'm going to roll D1 to see if they attack you' #etc
