The mob au just hits different. You've got such a unique art style and they're all so detailed. (I personally just love the way you draw Wally's hair for the mob au, so Curly.)

Taking an eye to be part of The Family has such implications. Like these are people who can be immediately identified by anyone who knows of The Boss. Specifically that they are part of the inner circle, direct access to Wally. This on its own is awful for a mob but it also means that they are powerful enough that the lack of a second eye would inspire fear instead of it being an exploitable weakness.

Also Wally is so Smol that he breaks the big and intimidating stereotype. This is a master of the mind rather than someone who got lucky by being muscle. He has something to offer everyone, something that is worth losing an eye through violent means.

That's what's so intriguing about this au. Everyone (or at least me) wants to know how this came to be, what does The Boss have that is worth it?

His family.

i would LOVE to hear more about your interpretations of Rumble and Savage

I AM SO UNORIGINAL AND SO SILLY GOOFY THAT I HAVE AN ENTIRE PLOT POINT AS TO WHY THESE TWO MONKEYS EXIST IN MY AUS AND GENERAL HEADCANONS, YIPPEE!

So... ever since I learned Sun Wukong could, in a way, revive people by gripping their souls and shoving them back into their bodies I started thinking about Flower Fruit Mountain and how Erlang burned it down and it killed hundreds upon thousands of monkeys and other yao that resided there..

And then Rumble and Savage were revealed and my dumb little monkey brain went, HA! I can't believe Sun Wukong revived two of the mountain monkeys!

Sun Wukong is typically volcanic-stone-fire-air-nature themed so when I saw their reds and blacks my brain went to just.... volcanic rock monkeys that Sun Wukong revived. And they are vessels, not really clones—he didn't make them either. They're revived souls that were shaped and trained by SWK before the LMK timeline. They don't have much interactions with the gang since they don't really do anything other than standing guard during Wukong's absence at the temple and stuff

(I will be renaming them btw)

Rumble is the one who speaks for the two of them the most. Very blunt and straight to the point. Essentially the "youngest" of the two even if they seem as though they're in charge. Yin and Jin send Rumble to report to Sun Wukong of anything important (such as SQ's death, city attacks, Xiaotian getting into trouble with certain yao, etc.)

Savage is the quiet one. Also the one who hits hardest. They seem soft-spoken and usually stand in the back, often with their arms crossed and eyes closed. However they're the first to strike. They're fast and a tank, very much a hard hitter when it comes to fighting. They're sent to help the twins if they ever get in trouble and to help yao that reside in the temple living grounds.

Hello I stumbled across your profile and I just say I love your art style! I've gotta ask, how'd your develop it? And do you have any advice for someone who can't decide what they want their art to look like?

Thank you so much!

To be entirely honest, I don't feel like I truly "developed" my style. I feel a lot more like I finally let myself draw it! But I am incredibly deliberate with my work, and I do have clear tendencies and preferences... So I'll do my best to explain how I got to where I am now as an artist.

It's important to remember that "style" is something of a nebulous concept. It changes with you as you grow as a person, and most artists can work in and emulate many art styles! Art really is a form of communication with yourself, and your "style" is a reflection of the tendencies and preferences you have. My art does not look how it looked 5 years ago, and my art will look different 5 years from now too. I've changed, and my art reflects that!

(2012, 2018, 2023; two pieces I remember being incredibly proud of and considered my best work up til that point, and then my most recent piece)

What you need to do, as everyone will tell you, is study the fundamentals (anatomy, perspective, form and structure, lighting and shadow, color, and composition) so you have the proper tools to make the most informed decisions possible about your art, and so you can deliberately break or follow rules as you please for your desired effect. I know it sounds silly to learn rules if you're not gonna be following them anyways, but they help you be much more consistent and intentional! More knowledge is NEVER a bad thing to have!

However, I know it's a bit demoralizing to just be told to study fundamentals. Everyone knows you're supposed to do that, but it takes YEARS to learn, and people want their art to feel how they want it to now (which is very very very normal to want!)

So on that front, I have 2 follow up suggestions that I personally find helpful (of course, everyone is different, so it's not like this is the only way to learn! But, if it resonates with you, it might mean it will work for you too.)

1: Separate study from application

I believe this is beneficial for a few reasons:

If the goal of every piece is learning, it can become frustrating, overwhelming, and boring

It's harder to self critique when there are multiple variables to investigate. I like to study one fundamental at a time

Study (usually) works best with a large quantity of output, whereas application of knowledge (finished pieces) is often more satisfying and effective when you get to take your time

Deliberate practical application of what you've learned in a finished piece helps cement the learning in your mind, and also lets you get satisfying finished pieces with noticeable improvement after a good study session!

I've found that keeping these things separate helps me improve faster and more deliberately, and it takes a lot of the pressure off of both aspects! I'm not worried about my studies looking beautiful, they're just to learn! And I don't feel pressured to critique my finished pieces, cause they're just for fun and to make something pretty. I personally find this helps me have a much healthier relationship with my art.

When studying, copy! Copy things as best as you can, all the time. It gives you something to compare to for self critique (and of course, if you're copying someone else's work and you share the study, ALWAYS give credit, share the original, and say it was for study.) In application, don't copy: reference. Make it yours!

2: Let yourself do the things that feel "easy" or like "cheating"

This one is simpler: nothing in art is easy.

If something feels easy to you, most of the time it's not because it's actually any easier... It's because it's part of your natural tendencies and preferences! This took me forever to realize, but as long as you're actually doing some study, then you're learning. You don't need to learn All The Time. When you're doing the "application" portion, you should let yourself do whatever is actually the most fun and feels easiest! This is where your style will start to come through, and where you get to learn about yourself. Take the pressure off, and have fun!!!

The only cheating in art is theft. If you're not stealing, then it's allowed!

My whole life (and yes, still!) I'd get regular criticism about both my style and my subject matter. You will too. You'll see a thousand different styles, and a hundred different things to admire in each. Your heart will ache that you don't draw like others do.

But art is a form of communication with yourself. It's like your voice, or your accent; just something that's a part of you! It can be fun to mimic others', but when you sit to have a conversation you speak naturally. (I know some people want to and do change their voice, but this is a metaphor and metaphors aren't perfect)

Don't stress so much about what you want your art to look like, especially if you're not sure. There's a lot of value to be had in constant experimentation, I think it'd be rather boring to only draw one style the rest of my life. What I draw is what I want to see, right now, for who I am now! It's a part of me and comes naturally, if I let it!

I hope this helps!

so uh, tssm band au i guess

might eventually do the rest of the designs but i doubt im gonna do anything with this au aside from some art and daydreaming

thank you @voltrixz for the continued fueling of my brain rot

ramblings abt the au under the cut

ok so sandmans lead guitar, shocker is rhythm guitar and also electric banjo when the vibe fits and vocals (baritone/tenor range), electro plays bass (can play guitar but mains bass) and vocals (baritone with particularly good low growly notes), vulture gets the keys and can sing but doesn't do much aside from some backup here and there for the whole group (baritone/tenor but like, softer, good falsetto), rhinos drums and vocals (bass), and ock gets the mother fucking theremin he does also swap out for keys tho (but he's mostly a classical piano type)

their style is very all over the place but stick mostly to rock and similar feeling genres. each song tends to feel a bit more like one persons style in particular. they swap around vocals depending on the vibe with the more growly, heavy metal, screaming type vocals going to electro and rhino while shocker and vulture are more traditional ig with their singing. ock does most the composing and vulture majority of the lyric writing. they're in a constant state of breaking up, getting back together, and rearranging members

spider-band! ok so peter of guitar and vocals (tenor, he's the front man), gwen on drums and vocals (mezzo-soprano), and harry plays keys (cause cmon no way he wasn't required to take piano lessons or smth) and will do some backup vocals but like he's not a singer and he knows it. mj joins later on and plays bass, she joins in on the backup vocals (alto) when with the band but does have an insane voice, she does do plenty of solo work tho.

mysterio plays like, everything. but is most known for playing the electric violin cause cmon its a fuckin electric violin that shits cool. high baritone tenor (just like, imagine the phantom ok that was my only thought process with this decision). he did try to go into acting but for as great as he is with everyone on tech he's a little shit to work with if he's onstage and too cheesy for most directors. fucking ate as carlos in a production of legally blonde once tho. he works a lot with chameleon (somehow manages to do great hair, makeup, and costuming) and tinkerers some sorta techie but my tech experience is all theater and i know jack about instruments and shit

black cat imma say is an alto (listen i was an alto for a long while before i became a tenor) and like, i think poppy is a good point of reference for some of the vibes im getting for her. and in general a mix of like, sultry seductive type songs and straight up heavy metal.

ok sandman and rhino were/are obviously a duo, shocker does his own solo stuff and is a part of the enforcers (its straight up country),

literally no fucking clue for kraven. ok i think this is everything i thought of. if you read all of this thank you lmao

ok its 1am and i got shit to do tmrrw love yall talk to me abt this show at any time pls

#max's art #max rambles #tssm #spectacular spider man #tssm band au #im proud of some of these and happy with the rest #sandman was surprisingly rlly fun #and i gotta give him tattoos which i always like #i was thinking abt those blackout tattoos with him and also played off of his name and the folklore of the sandman with the poppy tattoo #cause yknow #poppies are associated with sleep and all that #i dont think this is technically my first time drawing instruments but it basically was cause i cant remember the other time i did #i just know it prob happened #it was surprisingly fun

I know Odysseus and phil are different but the infant and the horse would totally fit phil in an au. Like phil goes to war with the nether and finds a baby techno. The only difference would be that phil would cuss out the gods anyway and just chose to adopt him lol

I might have already sent a ask like this to you but I was kinda drunk so I can’t remember if I actually sent it or not. Sorry if I sent this ask twice

These songs make good au fodder yeah! Personally don't want to use them for au stuff cause I do have like storyboards in mind, and the odyssey as a story is very special to me lmao but I'm pretty sure I've read at least 2 fics with this premise

#wolfy tedtalks #anon #you did i just wasnt sure how to respond #cause yknow #fun idea right but i also want to talk about the musical as it is on its own? #idk how to word it

Posts screenshotted are from the same blog, screenshot on someone else's page because I'm too lazy to go to op's page because honestly fuck them, this shit is so vile. "Love yourself! Your f/os love you so much, you deserve so much love!!! Unless you think harassing real people over fake people is wrong, than this isn't for you, go fuck yourself I guess" Like cool, good job asshole. I respect you even less than other antis. It's fucking disgusting how you dress yourself up to be a beacon of positivity while shitting on people over respecting real people more than fictional characters. You're a fucking fraud and I hope everyone realizes and it fucking hurts when everyone leaves you for being a toxic piece of shit. 🐜s dni obviously

Okay but I love it when Sun is the flirtatious one and Moon is just awkwardly affectionate. Such good vibes

#let sun be the confident flirt and Moon is the anxious introvert with no experience dealing with adults that aren't trying to hurt someone #cause yknow #he's a security bot #like obviuosly he'd have a little experience with parents and checking their kids in and out but he's quiet anyway so I don't think he'd #have a lot of social confidence #this went from 'haha flirty sun' to 'moon is such a deep character I want to study him' wayy to quick butwhatever #//kasshutup
