#doing this with just my finger is pain

[caliburn-not-calculator]

Thought I’d share the progress photos from my recentish Maxim and VR-LA art!

You can see the point where I stopped taking screenshots lol cause there is a big jump from end to finish

The final art is Here!

Plus some different potential colours for Maxim’s robes, the green is cool but also MR-SN colour so I decided against it

Then the final flats and basic shading before I ended up going in with highlights and glow brushes to spice it up, and proceeded to not take any more pictures rip

#rolling with difficulty #rwd #vr-la rwd #maxim rwd #dnd art #professionals rwd #progress pics #thought it would be fun to show the behind the scenes for my more recent method #I do the line art tradition them bring it onto digital #touch it up and colour! #I used to do everything but backgrounds and special magic effects traditional #I still do with some things but I’m trying to learn more about digital art #even with my shitty phone set up rip #doing this with just my finger is pain

In playing a game, we bring its artificial borders weight. In creating something, we inhabit that world to bring it life.

I started Handplates during a really difficult time in my life... no matter what happened, no matter how much things felt like they were falling apart around me or I was going to lose my mind or it all was just too much to bear, there’d always be another Handplates comic to do. Like clockwork that alarm in my head would go off and I’d get to work on the next one, no matter what was happening. It was always, always there. It’s hard to believe it’s been over seven years... a few more months to eight.

By my estimates, the next comic will be the last one. It doesn’t seem real, and when it does, it just makes me sad to think about... but I guess Undertale itself was about that too. How hard it is to let go, and when it’s time to say goodbye...

(I made some long long phone calls to my friends at home And I told them where I’ve been and the places I’m going And they said, “Wow, that’s incredible, but we already know, Because of that long long song you wrote.” - [x] )

The only one in your family with long curly hair

Funniest thing is no one says anything just keeps talking

#just don’t run your finger through the hair please it’s only pain #like what do you expect #bullying my brother to bush my hair>>>> #getting your hair played with is the best feeling in the world it feels so good

#they really made me do a full render after the universe knows how long huh #I couldn’t help it. I saw those outfits and went crazy because my first thought was OH ITS THEM #Because I can no longer look at anything with any remote resemblance OR ANY AT ALL without me relating it to them #this took me. so fucking long. #both my wrist and fingers are dying but look at how pretty they look #it was very worth the all nighter and the pain #also graphic design is my passion or whatever #but that doesn’t matter. just look at them. oh how I love these two SO MUCH UEEEGHHH #trigun in where everything is the same but the fights are like in Zoolander #just thinking #trigun #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun stampede #trigun fanart #wolfwood #vash #nicholas trigun #vashwood #trigun 2023 #I think it’s important for you guys to know that I never decide on one color sample for them ever so that’s why they may look different #on each drawing I do. #also wolfwood in my mind is all of his iterations made into a soup. and so is Vash but WW is my most notorious victim #because this is supposed to be 23 WW. supposed to be. #lenssi draws #eyestrain

I'm so normal about Him

#Trigun #Trigun Stampede #vash the stampede #hand farts #this took me 3 goddamn hours and made my chronic arm pain so much worse but I HAD TO I LOVE HIM!! #I literally haven't been able to hold a pen for more than 5-10min w/o significant pain for like... 5+ years now. I can't draw anymore reall #this is the first full drawing I've done in well over a year at least #but I've had this picture in my head for weeks and finally had to get it out!! shitty arms be damned!! #sorry for the inaccuracies for his prosthetic arm and bracelet thing. i simply couldn't handle adding more details if I wanted to finish it #all of the hearts are freehanded btw! i just like doing space fillers #this has been a post #i couldn't figure out how to do his crossed fingers in this simpler style either so feel free to stone me or w/e #tristamp

squeezy

#the amount of fucking stimming he does in this ep is insane #iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #dennis reynolds #autistic dennis reynolds #ada speaks #ada's videos #dennisisms #literally like. just watch him at any point he's on screen #permanently in a state of Uncomfortable and needing to self soothe #guy who hides in small enclosed spaces when he's upset #and when he can't do that he grabs at and massages his fingers #this is a glannerism because he does it as jack too but i wonder. why. for den. #whether it's meant to be grounding via light pain or soothing via massage #when i get anxious my left palm and the base of my fingers start aching so i see this and i go. hmm. #it could just be glenn subconsciously reaching for his wedding band to play with but he did this as den before he was married #or at least the fingertip squeezing.

it's 1 AM and I have a very specific bone to pick with a very specific thing I consume, enjoy and endorse wholeheartedly

here's the thing about vampire bites. they are depicted as this little unhinged and nasty but mostly sexy thing right. our guy (gender neutral) gets bitten and it's like ah! it hurts but also it hurts good ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). and here im talking about like. proper vampire teeth, non of that twilight bullshit just two to four proper fangs nothing more nothing less

well clearly the person writing the sexy biting smut scene has never been bitten by a cat. I dont mean like 'ah no Scruffy bit me a little' i don't even mean 'oh no Sceuffy bit me a lot' i mean like a fully grown ass feral cat that has never been touched by human in its life and craves the taste of flesh biting thru skin muscle cartilage -even sometimes bone- whatever the fuck you got in your meat sack that tiny needle thin tooth is piercing right through it

and here's the thing. it doesn't hurt at first oh no. okay well it hurts but if doesn't hurt too much ya know what i mean. and it leaves a cute little mark nothing serious at all

but in a day that wound is gonna swell. and it's gunna. hurt like all fuck because it just directly injected about five gazillion bacteria directly into a neat little incubation pouch and then closed it right up. its gona swell its gonna ooze and throb and hurt and if that shits in your neck ur pretty much done for i mean an infection right next to the jugular is just easy mode for the bacteria

so unless your vampire boyfriend gargles with antiseptic beforehand you aint gotta worry about turning or bleeding out or developing a biting kink cus youre gonna be delirious from meningitis with a football sized phlegmone in your neck beggjng for the sweet sweet release of death thank you for coming to my ted talk please ensure your vampire boyfriend employs proper dental hygiene

#i also find the image of the morning after hilarious #no walk of shame but ambulance ride of shame to get the wound disinfected #and yea ive been bitten by a caf recently and reevaluated my stance on this issue #its been more than a week and my finger just stopped hurting #it legitimately looks like ive put it into a saw trap #i mean the cat had a right to bite me but man dod you have tk bite THROUGH the joint #i legitimately cried from pain four nights in a row there was no medication strong enough to stop the the trobbing #my finger was FULL of puss I mean f u l l #and I must add I got it properly cleaned right away antibiotics anti inflammatory drugs tbe whole package #i know what im doing alright but man i never want to experience thag again #one of the worst pains in my life and I've broken five bones and dislocated multiple joints #ive had thick ass meedles inserted directly into my knee no anaesthetic whatsoever and it don even come CLOSE #I HOPE THAT LITTLE SHIT IS HAPPY #roachrambles #vampires #tw biting

fixing our leaky shower diverter now (the toggle that switches the bathtub faucet to shower)

#personal #keeping it fun and funky fresh #our house in the middle of our street #i am learning so many skills. my hands hurt. #my left palm is deeply bruised from i think pressing the outlet into its socket? i caught my finger with the box cutter Just a Tiny Bit #and i tried to unscrew the faucet with my hands which should've theoretically been possible but ended up putting like. dents. in me. #ended up using my pipe wrench with a washcloth as padding #also the omnipresent wrist pain Naturally #the tension between 1) i'm spending a lot of money on supplies to do this stuff #2) i still don't have a job #3) i'd be spending More money on hiring someone to do this (which i'd have to do if i were working; wouldn't have energy)

ah i see what the archery prof meant when he said learning it’s a curse (seeing incorrect archery forms everywhere in media)

#GIRL NO THAT ARROWS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. AND IF IT DID IT’D TAKE OFF HER FINGER #my conviction not to be mean to fanartists vs WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS WHAT YOU THINK ARCHERY GRIPS LOOK LIKE #if it was a split grip that’d be fine this is just. painful #she was holding onto the arrow. y’all if you draw by holding onto the arrow *it ain’t going anywhere* AND you’re going to damage your finger

i think most people need to expand their idea of art so dipshits can stop saying ai art is actually good for physically disabled people who cant do art. what do you mean when you say art? can we ask that question? if you say that word and all you mean is a pretty portrait or an oil painting, then you need to open yourself up.

art at a base level is just something you made with some kind of strong emotion – some kind of passion – behind it. yes a hyper rendered portrait can still be art. a sketchy pen drawing is art. a mess of colors making shapes on a canvas is art. painting a huge canvas in paintstakingly light layers of a single color so that the end result is perfectly smooth is art.

a song on the speakers in a store is art. an underground indie song you love is art. singing a single sentence song with small children is art. voice acting is art. beading is art. jewlery is art. decorating your home is art. making a house or a person in the sims is art. making dumb ass tiktoks can be art. stuffed animals are art. resin crafting is art. sculpting is art. making little dioramas is art. collecting and cleaning dolls and figures is art. meticulously organizing your desktop and phone layouts is art. getting bored and spraypainting a shelf a new color is art. writing about your favorite show, whether theories or as a fanfiction, is art.

technology is art. engineering is art. architecture is art. science is art. sewing, modding, dress up games, hoke renovations, dancing, singing, fingerpainting, cooking, cross stitching, baking, making a blog or an essay about something you love, or hate, cmor care about, dearly, rearranging store shelves, crochet, making people laugh, icing a box mix cake, the way scientists talk about their field, literary analysis, printing shirts, personalizing your car, sex work, editing a picture to print, scrapbooking, getting really into planners, putting stickers on your things. its all art

when i say ai art isnt art, and it isnt a good tool for disabled people to make art. im not saying you have to be like me, who is physically disabled, and fingerpaint or that you have to learn to paint and draw with your mouth or toes or whatever. i mean art is something you are passionate about, and you need to find the kind of art that speaks to you and lets you express yourself. if that means you push your disabled (or abled) body to draw portraits of people like yours truly, then thats wonderful. if that just is not your art, thats wonderful too. theres so much out there to try.

you dont have to limit yourself to the first kind of art that pops in your head when you hear the word. and always remember. it doesnt have to be good or marketable. it just has to be yours

#idk im just thinking about some notes i saw on an ai post #about another disabled person saying something like..m well i shouldnt have to learn how to paint with my teeth to make art #and i agree. but thats not an excuse to take advantage of a skeevy ai program dubiously using art posted online. #it just means you need to find your outlet. if you arent willing to find your workaround to paint then dont paint. find other art #its okay to be dissappointed about that. its not okay to choose to let that hurt other people #its okay to yearn for something you cant do. im shit at any kind of fiber art and it hurts my physically and i wish it wasnt like that #but i do just have to accept its not the avenue for me and that is okay #conversely it does cause my pain to sit up and paint and i cant always hold a brush without pain and using needles bends back my fingers #but its what i need to do to express myself. so i keep working witg it and finding ways to make it accessible to me #im just not willing to do that with crochet or knitting #if you arent willing to find ways to do it. then it is worth thinking about if its something you need and really want to do. or if its just #a nice idea and something that would be cool.
