#my art #undertale au #swapfell papyrus #fellswap papyrus #caycantdoodle #My headcannons to come teehee #I love these two vm i swear it #they make me facepalm and giggle #kicking my feet #wanna hang out with them #argue over stupid shit #video games maaaan #they would so be fun playing games together #imagine lethal company with these two #you'd never meet quota #honestly these were just fun warmups of them to try and draw them. #i hope to like #explore designs for them both in the future to give them some character #love giving them fashion statements

The Magnus Protocol 5 - Personal Screening

#the magnus protocol #tmagp #magnuspod #josh art tag #this one was hard to draw for... so eventually i settled on more of a “Vibe” piece if that makes sense #like some ideas had the guy sitting in a theater with popcorn n stuff but i didnt wanna actually draw him so i scrapped those ideas #ive been purposefully avoiding drawing the people in tmagp that are just from the statements (not statements but u know what i mean) #cuz i usually draw nothing but people #so its been a fun challenge to Not Do That #plus i dont wanna have to come up with designs for people we will probably only know for the 1 ep

#bakuspecial #happy pride! I am at all time full of rage #I draw my shit year round but this month. I get one pass. to do something more graphic-design-ish #this pride I am holding ur fucking hands okay. where I am is looking at a chance for significant changes #I'm just. looking forward to it. my body is my own. I look forward to making it home #Trans Fuckin Rights. that is my statement. thank you

Anyone else think short form social media based on algorithms designed to promote topics that create more engagement instead of more joy, the idea of fast fashion but conveyed through social media, and the fact you can monetize suffering and outrage better than ever has largely resulted in the death spiral of media literacy and the mass emergence of bad faith readings?

#I may be venting a lil but god it blows my mind #fyp is a blessing and a curse because i don't think ppl were ever meant to be subjected to this many ppl at once #god i took a bird site hiatus for weeks and now BARELY check it and it already feels like a hit #oughhhhh #even fandom spaces have hugely incorporated marketing and networking into them bc of cmms and sponsorship and building portfolio #which would be fine tbh if it weren't for the way socmed is designed #now it's like you can't support too many ppl or else you're shadow banned or you have to make yourself palatable and marketable #and websites with threads in which people will only read the first post before qrting because ratios are seen as five minutes of fame #features that permit beating an algorithm are locked behind a paywall that promises you money if you go viral #and what goes viral is usually incendiary content meant for those ratios or trends. whether for or against OP #even in hobbyist spaces the climate has changed so much due to the monetization and marketing and just. ugh #not to mention side accounts dedicated to gossip in this new priv account culture like...idk #if you have to make another account so you can make fun of a friend on main with selected priv friends it just doesn't sit well with me #and not every priv account does this but enough do and it makes me tired #unsolicited hate comments are still as bad as they used to be on ff dot net except now people openly are proud of it more #why do most socmed feel like passive aggressive sticky notes on high school lockers #there is so much more I could say about everything that has left me weary about the internet but I don't know the time or place #and I don't want anyone to think this is about them because it's a general statement. though if you are doing the more inflammatory things. #maybe rethink that. it's not good for anyone else and it's not good for you either #I keep coming back online to check on ppl and see art and I *know* it's draining for my health every time #but I feel a lot better now that i use socmed less overall. and that I try to focus on what makes me happy #it just sucks seeing so many people i care about endure absolutely wild struggles bc people online do not care. #I like rambling in my tags because this is the only place I ramble except my personal journal and to my wife

ok folks this lives and dies between us but i swear to god with every passing moment and every new fact i learn i am more and more convinced that had i spoken portuguese at age 11 when i got into minecraft youtube the first time i would BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT have had a tiny little baby 11 year old celebrity crush on pactw

#qsmp #pactw #qsmp pac #cute? check. funny? check. smart? check. #did a roleplay series; does funny minigames; MAKES funny minigames #like shit dude if i hadn't worked extremely hard to draw extremely thick lines separating myself mentally from content creators i might now #but i've beat myself over the head with the 'being parasocial only ends up with your favs going to jail' stick #i'm cured. no more unnecessary mental turmoil for me #anyway this is secret shhhhh #shut up vic #block game brainrot #like i don't know how he did during the legendary rp serieses he did back then but holy MOTHER OF PEARL he's an amazing rp'er now #this is not a controversial statement and if you think it is meet me behind the chili's and prepare to forfeit your teeth #question; in brazil what restaurant/food joint/location is the designated brawl zone #like usa tends to be waffle house or chili's or denny's or like. a cracker barrel if you're feeling wild #if you're a brazilian inviting somebody to fight you irl as a meme what do you tell them #(if you are not brazilian but read these tags and want to answer with your unique location go for it i love learning) #long tags #i should be asleep tbh but my brain is like 'heeheehee 2012 never left us <3' #gnight friends like this post if you too would have had a celebrity crush on pactw at age 11 or would theoretically have one at age Now lmao

nearly every digital jon & martin ive drawn so far. insane what a tenacious brainworm will do to you

#i think my jons always been jon but martin nee- fuck i forgot a martin #srry statement remains teaser martin drawing but im not editing you in #anyway as i was saying; martins design needed to stew for some time #tma #tma s5 #the magnus archives #jonmartin #Jonathan Sims #martin blackwood #magnuspod #id in alt #almost in chronological order but not quite #due to having a few files in subfolders #gammijart #if you don't check alt: thats 88 Jons. And i only included 1 from any comics or series of drawings #same for Martin but he had a few less. and to make it a nice rectangle i cut out some. but hes got 80 right there #anyways just counting jons and only finished and posted digital stuff and not counting comics as extra - #that's almost 2.5 jons per month every month for the past 3 years 😳

GREEN?? IS THE GREEN ANYTHING???

#im not v good w color #its okay btw this is a neutral statement im not fishin for compliments #BUT IT MAKES. OUTFIT DESIGN. HARD AF #it makes me want 2 BLATANTLY RIP VIDEO GAME OUTFITS TBHH #im open to other suggestions btw 👍

[coconut530]

OK OK ALRIGHT FINE I’ll make doodles for this podcast too

#The Magnus Protocol #6 #malevolent and this podcast get doodles #Except this one the doodles are just so detailed when they really don’t need to be #For the comedy #But yeah here’s an overview of my designs for the gang and then doodles for 1 and 2 #The canary line stayed in my head so I had to make a teensy piece for it #I really love that panel and the Ink5oul one that one’s funny #Sorry I didn’t get to the Norris statement the canary one got to me #BUT ANYWAY YEAH COOL PODCASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[eyep0calypse]

i heard chester and norris and immediately imagined them arguing im not sorry

(1 of 2? maybe??)

#the magnus protocol #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #tmagp vague #chester tmagp #norris tmagp #i wanted them to look like a combo of their s4 an s5 designs #mainly bc i want an excuse to make ‘chester’ look creepy #esp if they stop JUST reading statements and start directly talking to sam or smth

[lively-run-away]

and here is the white piece set! this set was the first i finished so i spent a bit longer on the details of these characters even though they'd be the size of an eraser. surprisingly the tweedles were the hardest for me to design. the characters from right to left: white queen, white king AND unicorn, the tweedles, white knight, the sheep, alice AND the gnat, haigha and the hatta.

#alice in wonderland #alice through the looking glass #my art #uh yes the unicorn is a statement about the british government with the 50 problems it is ignoring #rip to the fawn for not making it on here #also now that i looked at my notes the aged man is on the white side??? jeez the red side only have the red knight #also if my hatter design looks weird it's because i designed the hatta version first and now i have to go backwards in design

[liquidstar]

Ok I need to know for sure when you say 'uncomfortable designs' in arc 5 you mean liliana right because... oh god liliana.... my beloathed

GOD YEEAH i didnt want to go into details bc anon asked for no specific spoilers. i really really really fucking despise liliana's design its just disgusting to look at. like the whole "looks 12 at 23" thing is already sketch but did they have to dress her like... That. its why i said before i was skeptical of if id watch season 3 but, since i already know what happens i can just skip some scenes for the sake of my own sanity. reading it was different because i wasnt forced to Look At It. i dont even dislike liliana as a character its just her design literally can we just give her some solid clothes?

THE THING IS THOUGH i was also talking abt capella (no relation). but the whole deal w her is a little different because its sort of part of the Point w her design?

like she also has the scantily clad "legal loli" shit going on except... the text actually describes it as being disgusting and perverse. its literally intentionally meant to be gross. shes the sin archbishop of LUST and shes supposed to depict the worse aspects of it. like everything about her is meant to be off-putting and uncomfortable. in isolation i actually think this is a really interesting concept, especially for a story whose whole PURPOSE is to deconstruct these typical isekai/harem anime tropes. making a character like her a perversion meant to illicit disgust, especially as a representation of the worst of lust, like.. it makes sense. its interesting.

EXCEPT IT ALL GETS RUINED BY THE FACT THAT LILIANA EXISTS????

you literally cannot have your cake and eat it too here like are you trying to deconstruct the trope or are you just playing it straight? are you trying to say something or are you not really taking it that seriously? every potentially interesting idea going on w capella sort of gets destroyed because liliana is introduced in the same arc. maybe it was somesort of intentional foil being set up, but whats even the difference? just that liliana is a good guy? that shes innocent on the inside too or something? i dont know. i think its botched if so and i dont really stand by that as a strong theme.

like. i love a lot of the stuff in rezero i think its a really well written story with complex characters and a lot of incredible themes but also like i literally cant overlook shit like liliana's design. and i honestly completely understand why people would want to avoid the series when it comes to shit like that, like, i get it. i dislike seeing it too LOL.

well, at least they redesigned felt. no more censer bar crop top in s3 thank god. i will miss her red scarf tho. brought out her eyes

#all that being said the designs are made by a different person than the writer so maybe its an oversight #i dont really remember if she was described as scantily clad in the ln. young looking yes but i dont think that her outfit was really #delved into #probably to leave room /for/ the design to be made later on #but i dont know enough about the process behind the scenes to make statements on that so thats why this is all tagtalk

[caracello]

for the record i have been watching the all sound‌wave clips in prime season 3 video on loop. llike for multiple days.

#i kind of was so wrong when i said her prime design makes me sad. actually. i retract my statement. i've been a fool. #crushposting #idek why s3 specifically ....like i've watched the other ones this season just makes me kindof crazy. #the smiley fsce )))))))+.

And another (already sold) mystery baby adopt! Thank you to the buyer!

I'm planning to make a bigger batch of em over the next few days which hopefully you all will be able to get a chance at before they sell... But if you'd like a guaranteed mystery troll I have gacha trolls open!

everyone is going for gege’s pale and vulnerable throat. go speedread akira as a twelve year old in the shadowed corner of a tiny library and maybe you will calm down!

#one cannot look for illegal spoilers anymore without the same refrain #you’re telling me he’s killing everyone? absolutely unprecedented #a fucked up shonen has never done this in an effort to warp genre conventions #and make a statement about the ultimate futility of life before #I DO wish it was executed more gracefully #with uhh some more narrative symphonics #and there were more women for me to kiss #where is kirara is miss her #but ultimately the problem is that this man wants to destroy Tokyo not design 20-years-later babies #I’ll never stop a beset overworked artist from proxy raging through a major metropolis that represents the height of consumerism #why? because I believe in the working class

[sonknuxadow]

toyhouse is so scary why are there people on here making public lists of everyone who's ever blocked them aren't we just here to post our little guys .....

#im not active on th at all i just kinda sometimes lurk on there and click random profiles and some of the stuff ive seen is so weird #and im not making fun of anyones art or ocs with that statement im more talking about peoples behavior #like if youre actually selling or trading characters i guess it makes sense to have a blacklist #of people who your designs cant be given to #but why do people on th just get. SO mad about being blocked. or people not liking something they like #or people having too many characters in their opinion. who cares #i guess art focused websites are just doomed to always spawn the weirdest communities and drama ever

NGL Daze has existed for a hot second, but I only actually got round to drawing this refset at the start of summer. Felt nice to do, feels good to flex that I can get out some bangers in mspaint of all things.

But yeah! This is Daze, he's a senior exorcist who's part of Oren and Lucero's group (the Shibuya squad) and sometimes he's an eel. Or all the time, really. He just doesn't look like it on the outside.

#monster oc #monster boy #original character #creature design #organs #laid out in lavender #my ocs #recall draws #ask if i need more tags for the eel sitch that guys a little body horror-ish #but yeah daze :) #i rlly like him and find him to be a very interesting character with emotionally valuable contributions to the narrative #but i always feel so fcking cringe introducing him to other people #cause his whole thing is like. he doesnt want ppl to be interested in his life to keep him and his roommate's curses a secret #so to push people away as effortlessly as possible he just makes an ass of himself #he acts rlly annoying and over dramatic and lazy and prideful and rlly just like that guy at work everyone hates #bc hes counting on u not wanting to work with him or associate with him #unfortunately this makes it rlly embarrassing for me when he acts annoying and everyones like >:( ur annoying #but yeah. #no official loil tag despite the fact this IS an official refset for him bc he isnt in main line loil #he gets a statement abt how he ended up cursed and thats it for his main story appearances #the shibuya squad is their own spin-off that i prolly wont make tho if i DID make any spin-off for loil its the most likely one id make #primrose path would be the easiest to do i could just like Write It with illustrations mixed in #anyway no more talking hi i love tag infodumps pls feel free to ask me abt things always #dazai kubo #forgor the character tag
