#hopefully realistic bits

What a nerd

#my art #epithet erased #sylvester ashling #sylvie ashling #I had no idea how to translate his hair into a semi-realistic style... This doesn't really look like it but hopefully it still looks fine #Also tried to capture some teenaged grease-itude #( I really like rendering in this style but I might stick to making it cartoonier in the future... I worry it looks a bit creepy like this)

Zoro 🐯 Process:

Commentary below:

Notes:

One of the first attempts at sculpting the boy; the head was later altered quite a bit and the legs entirely scrapped, and the torso bulked up shaking my shoulders feverishly: we need to properly represent his 110 cm bust and what we have isn't cutting it. Scabbards were made (which survived till the end!) and the original clay swords were made by this point.

New torso and legs give (hallelujah), as well as the loops and holes for the ears (such finicky small work, fuck me) were made. Holes were first made with straight wire and dried before the hoops were gently (and with swearing) inserted through.

Clothes added, also with swearing as the clay dried and stiffened faster then I wanted to and made it hard to get nice folds. Scarf was re-made and smoothed later.

Scabbards added! Immediately drops it and breaks a piece of it off. I've glued multiple bits of the scabbards back on the flimsy bastards. He remained armless for a good while. A Venus on the shelf by my desk...

Because the clay sword (after a good hour of tender focused work) would IMMEDIATELY would break upon the lightest touch, annoying me to no end, one evening was like God I wish I had actual metal to use instead wouldn't that be cool, and then was like OH! I COULD DO THAT! So the metal is actually cut from the tin of a cat food can, straightened and sanded., as seen in photo!

The blades hilted, before placed in capable hands

ARMS! and the sculpting is finished. Onto painting!

First layers of paint on various parts; I generally paint via colours I'm using at the moment (ie, greens in this instance)

More layers laid down. I generally go for shading in rules of three (main colour, lighter, and darker hues) and apply them at different opacity of acrylic. Adjusted the green since I found it too pungent. Once the fur tones were finished I gave him his stripes (cue me searching up loads of photos of tigers and tiger fursonas to see how people have done the stripes. Did you know depending on the area they are from they have different face shapes and stripe patterns? Fascinating stuff)

Finished project! Last layers, and highlights where added, adjusted the eye and fuck-ups re-adjusted. Dropped and had to reglue things. The gold is actual gold leaf I applied using a glue you paint on but that was a bit of a whole mess and took a long time, and doesn't go on very flat on very not-flat surfaces... (Who would have thought...) In the future may instead use gold paints for metallics.

Here's also the link to the post of more photos of him finished!

BEHOLD MY PROCESS #i have like zero knowledge on actual sculpting of figures. i just do it and go well. sure that works #should watch some doll making vids or something to pick up better techniques. hm #theres something so clean and nice about the non+painted versions. pure #god when i firsy put down the green i was like. oh this looks SO much like someones unrealistic lime green tiger fursona #muting the tones a bit helped with that. and the stripes #was a bit annoyed with the stripes at first cause i was like oh no thats too realistic but i think it looks good that way #not pictured is me swearing while working on his fucking earrings #theyre brass wire with the caly and holy shit the clay is so finicky when its that small. the length of time it took to do them. #did them like three times separately and then also LOST ONE and then had to also apply the adhesive for the gold foil and the gold foil #never again for something that small. #but at the same time oooo fuck yeah onto the next project. that hopefully WONT take me like 8 fucking months

While I didn’t have time to make them before Mid-Autumn festival, I made mooncakes for the first time this weekend and they’re so damn pretty I could literally just sit and stare at them.

#they bring me immense joy #now hopefully they also taste good😅 won’t know until Wednesday since they need to sit for two days #I’ll try to take pictures when they’re ready for munching #the won’t be the normal golden brown color since I did some substitutions #but they’re still very pretty #little nervous for how my baking of them went though #I kinda fucked up the wrapper I think?? I was having a hard time getting it to the right consistency #and also baking here at high elevation is always weird because sometimes things bake in the time they should #and sometimes they don’t #or I can’t tell #so hopefully I didn’t overtake them either😅😅😅 #I bought the lotus seed paste although I really wanted to hand make it #but I knew realistically I didn’t really have the time so I made myself just buy it lmao #it was also a bit of an adventure trying to find the salted egg yolks but we got them #anyways basically they’re very pretty and looking at them makes me so happy #by yours truly the omelette of cheese #mid autumn festival #mooncakes

If ur waiting on a reply from me (and i know a couple of folks are rn) thank u for ur patience in waiting. I'm working on typing things up but today is just. idk how to put it but i keep winding up grumpy and my replies i feel are suffering for it. Pls know i do wanna chat and exchange ideas, I'm just trying to make sure the Grumpasaurus Rex side of my brain that's v loud today isn't mucking them up before i send them 🫂🫂❤️❤️

#text post #like it's genuinely nothing just bad takes online some shitty messages in my inbox on here and reddit and not sleeping well at all #attempted a nap i woke up from like tenish minutes ago and it was all a realistic nightmare #in which ct house was somehow connected to nd condo & i kept getting caught on one side or the other at a time #unable to touch or talk to anyone until i was fully on either 'side' for a good while #made the flow of time feel fucked up and i fully expected this to have been a longer nap considering how time felt in there lol #but yeah. I'm trying and im v grateful to y'all waiting for being patient with me. thank u & i promise ill have my shit together soon #(aka might take an edible and just. idek. bake maybe? my brain isn't happy doing anything rn but cookies are always good) #have a potential call with mum later i need to prep for #...worst case scenario i try to nap a bit more and hope i don't wind up stuck in that weird hallway from my dream again #worst bit was the nd cats and my mum and ct cats and Housemate on each side both trying to get me out but couldn't #really don't wanna feel as stuck as i did in this dream but hey!! maybe it's trying to tell me something lmao #not entirely sure what but that's nothing new for me lmao #normally wouldn't post like this for replies but everyone waiting follows me so i figure this reaches everyone easily enough #& hopefully is better/more useful than me going radio silent bc my brain is being a baby abt shit that means nothing lmao

honestly i dont even think i care about putting any specific name to any particular diagnosis for myself at this time. brains disorder is brain disorders man. i just cant see how it would matter what specific ~name~ someone assigns to Your Problems, when targeting the symptoms is pretty much always gonna be the best course of action for all of them anyway.? like why not just skip the middleman and address the symptoms directly . wouldnt that be a better approach over "well you could have 'brainsdisorder', but you could also have elusive ''looks like brainsdisorder' disorder', so watch out! but thankfully, the treatments are similar" like huh whuh. why does that distinction even matter in the first place then. truly WHO give a shit

#to the devils advocate: i know that realistically diagnoses are crucially important in securing accommodations and assistance. #not what im talking about. #im talking at the educational standard's level like Why would two virtually the same disorders be considered distinct #on a fundamental level like Why Does It Matter to even Categorize mental health issues like this in the first place #why say many words 'oh you have problems disorder + heres how to fix your symptoms' when few word 'heres how to fix your symptoms' do trick #like just imagine its a perfect world where 'insurance doesnt try to get out of doing as much assistance as they can' #instead of the 'lol. good fucking luck bro' we get today #sorry i feel like im way overexplaining my angle here im just scared of posting takes on the internet since tumblr ~2015 #anyway. still havent reallyy gotten into the swing of being online again #im getting a little bit better with discord though so hopefully tumblr will follow soon. lol

reading kaveh’s story leaks and What

#genshin leaks #genshin spoilers #anyways . good lord we don't have time to unpack all that /j #all i can say rn is he truly contains Multitudes #idk man the hai.tham story part??? the thing abt his parents?? the thing abt studying arts in a society that increasingly values only pract #practicality over other side effects of '''''design''''' that can easily be written off to discourage or encourage certain accompanying beh #behaviors? his akademiya years his r/ship with emotions his idealism etc i love it. hes officially a blorbo #idk i think his stories seem a bit all over the place (first impression) but it makes him complex. more than a babygirl or pathetic wet cat #a secret third thing (well developed character (?)) #ka.veh i am sorry you and like ni.lou are carrying the entirety of sumeru's arts culture on ur backs. mvps fr pls hijack the akademiya into #investing in humanities more #bonus thoughts he's giving a lot of kunikida and atsushi from bsd (<- guy who's only thought abt bsd and genshin in the last month) #'an idealist who lives in reality a realist who pursues ideals' (from bsd) tell me this doesnt at least half fit him. live laugh ka.veh #i havent read bai.zhu's stories saving those for later. hopefully theyre good though and he's either funny or nuanced; preferably both #ppl have been waiting too long for him to get written badly!! and if he's actually really flat i will be pretending i do not see #ramblings!

how it started vs how its going (~6 hours later)

#this is for my 3d art class #our prof assigned us a realistic human bust. as the first project. this is my first ever sculpt in zbrush #im insanely proud of myself #like guys CMON look at this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS A PERSON!!!!!!! A REALISTIC PERSON #granted its heavily heavily referenced like practically traced but still. #when i started this and was struggling to get a decent head shape i was like ''how the hell am i going to do this'' #all i needed was a turn-my-brain-off-go-into-autopilot 10-4 am fixation stint #hopefully i have a bit more of that energy in me bc uhh..... this is due in a week and i still need to finish sculpting and the hair #and on top of that i need to texture this............. pray for me #my art

my gallbladder surgery is in like 6 hours (that's when I need to be at the hospital anyway, it might take a long time until it's actually my turn) and I'm pretty anxious now 😔 I know it's very likely that everything will go well and I'm trying not to think about everything that could go wrong.

at least I can stop myself from thinking about that kind of thing now - before the anxiety meds I'd probably have been unable to sleep for the last week, and I'd have thought about it all day every day, and I'd have been legitimately panicking for days. now the unpleasant thoughts happen, I tell myself 'it's going to be fine and if it isn't we can't change it anyway' and move on.

#is that how normal people's brains work? #it's still so fascinating to me that this is possible #but anyway I've got everything packed that I could possibly need (though I've probably forgotten something really obvious lol) #I suspect it'll be much less awful being in hospital like this - when it's scheduled and I know it's going to happen & can prepare #the other times were genuinely horrible. but I was terrified and didn't know what was wrong (turns out it was probably my #fucking gallbladder the entire time lol) and I never knew when someone would take me somewhere to do yet another test #this time should be pretty different #and I've got my Switch Lite and my iPad and many ebooks and audiobooks so I definitely won't be bored #though realistically I'll probably sleep at least most of tomorrow anyway. I loooove sleeping after general anesthesia. it's so nice #anyway gotta go to bed if I want to get any sleep at all #oh and! the most important thing is that I now have noise cancelling headphones. I think that'll make the nights bearable. it's so #difficult for me to sleep when there's that much noise. and nurses checking on you constantly #I woke up every time they came in before. hopefully that'll be a bit better now 🤷 #personal #I

athel’min, coming back to bell’s hells after the mighty nein oneshots to find laudna alive, pate as a familiar and esteross dead:

#OC: Athel'min #story: soldier poet king #okay realistically shes still there for all this #however i thought it would be funny #meanwhile shriva is having a crisis about orc dad #like athel mentally checked out after otohan and everyone assumed 'oh she's just traumatised!' nope #she went back to the mighty nein which is also a bit messed up lol #literally they open the oneshot waking up from a nightmare screaming laudna's name :') #(i know elves cant sleep but they can dream so her eyes just snapping open as they scream 'laudna!' is horrifying to me lol) #anyway rip esteross ill hopefully get to bake cookies in your honor its what you wouldve wanted #(also i love the nickname athel for athel'min) #(its incredibly cute)

idk if it's genuine excitement or the energy drink i had earlier that's actually letting me focus and work but dude. i am CRUSHING this essay. this is Fun To Write. i think i'm actually doing a really good job here. wtf. i love my major man

#i am a LITTLE bit sad i cant do grad school bc like. im going to miss writing essays and researching and all once i graduate #i do genuinely like doing it. call me a nerd or whatever but i love it esp when its on smth fun and interesting like this #now im not sad enough to actually DO grad school lmao #unless i got offered a scholarship or smth idk. wont happen but. hm. if it did. #seriously tho. i would think more seriously abt it if it werent for my adhd. i just dont think its realistic for me #as much as i like my field i dont think i have the ability to focus well enough to complete the work id need to complete #i went to the meeting abt grad school i learned abt what it requires/why people do it and all. i just dont think i can do that #and bc i ultimately cant get diagnosed -> cannot get help/medication thats not going to improve any time soon #after years of learning how to adapt and work with my brain this is probably the best i can do without medical/institutional intervention #its not worth paying a shitload of money and possibly setting my career back by years only to fail out yk? #im not too torn up abt it. ill give it more thought if it becomes relevant but rn its not really on my radar #ive done an excellent job in school! im getting an honours degree (hopefully)! most people dont even get that far #a lot of people with my condition dont even get into university let alone graduate. im incredibly lucky to be able to do what i can #levi.txt #this is all over the place but takeaway is im having a good time! things are coming together i feel confident in my work #im gathering theorists and sources for the section on night of the living dead and having a blast #ive got my examples all lined up my arguments make sense in my head i know where to look for applicable theories etc etc #i just need supporting quotes and im working on that rn!! it hasnt even been that hard #ok. back to work. i need to harness the power of caffeine once more (made my brain quiet) (no longer full of bees) (im in charge)
