#i am dealing tho

[astranite]

Anyone got any fic recs for fluffy and hurt/comfort Tracies?

Especially with John or everyone or earth sky? But anything really. Especially if there be hugs.

Having a not great time of it with some not great medical news. Pretty much what I expected and its not like im not already dealing with it all, and things will get better when i can manage it better, and even though its long term everything will be okay. But its still shitty and it still sucks.

And i am tired and hurty and feeling mleh and want some fic to read.

#thunder fam sos #astrastuff #more tired and hurty that usual given ive really overdone it this week #got diagnosed with loosey goosey disorder (joint hypermobility) #and free bonus chronic pain and fatigue #gotta laugh till you cry i guess #probably going to pick some tracies to project the feels onto soon #i am dealing tho

rough art tips to learn and then break at your leisure.

the distance between your eyes is roughly one eye. the corners of your mouth dont extend past the middle of each eye. ears are roughly in the middle of the tip of the nose and the eyebrow. the eyes are in the very centre of the head. the neck is just a Little slimmer than the width of the head (varies with fat distribution, but fat tends to build up under the chin). hair is easier to draw when you plot out the hairline and then where it parts. leaving appropriate distance on the side of the face (cheekbone area and back to ear) contributes to making characters look more realistic/hot as hell. i dont know specific tips for that so use reference. an amazing reference/study site is lineofaction.com . if you think of the face in planes it makes it easier to construct (look up tutorials). if you draw a spiral like a tornado it can help you figure out awkward perspective for extended limbs (look up foreshortening coil technique). tangent lines are when two lines intersect and cause visual confusion (when it looks like a line that defines an arm is part of the line that defines a building, for example) and avoiding them makes your art way easier to comprehend. quick trick to good composition: choose a focal point (where you want your viewer to focus), detail that area the most, and make sure various elements of the piece are pointing to that focal point. you can use colours to contrast hue, saturation, and brightness and make certain elements of your drawing stand out. drawing in greyscale can help you figure out values. using black in a piece isn't illegal but you should know what you're doing when you do use it- it desaturates a piece and if used as a shading colour can desaturate and dull whatever youre shading too. if you use almost-black lineart and then add black to darken the very darkest areas it will do a lot to add some nice depth. the tip of your thumb ends just above the start of your index finger- your thumb also has two knuckles and all your other fingers have three. if you see an artist doing something you like (the way they draw noses or eyes or hair or anything else) you can try to copy that and see if you want to incorporate it in your style <- this is ENCOURAGED and how a lot of us learned and developed our styles. there are ways to add wrinkles to faces and bodies without making the character look a million years old, you just have to keep experimenting with it. The smile wrinkles around your muzzle dont connect to your mouth or to your nose; there should be a small space in between smile or nose and the wrinkle line. eyes when viewed in profile are like < aka a little triangle shape. think of the pupil like a disk and apply foreshortening to it (it looks like a line when seen from the side instead of a full round dot). subtle gradients can add a LOT to a piece. texture can also add a LOT. look up Tommy Arnold's work (his murderbot pieces are some of my FAVOURITE) and zoom in. find those random little circles he added and try to figure out why he added them there. light bounces. there's lots of way light bounces. sometimes it even spreads through the skin. i do not know these light tricks yet but i want you to know that they exist. draw a circle to indicate hand placement, draw a straight line between that circle and the shoulder, and then (normally at a right angle) draw a straight line on top of that line to find the placement of the elbow. elbows are normally placed Just above the hip when standing and your arm is at rest. there are no bad colour combos if you're brave enough about it, just fuck with the saturation and brightness until it works. keep playing. try new things. add your own tips to this post if you want or even expand on some ive mentioned here. good luck go ham etc

#look at this post #the sum of almost all of my art knowledge #all that i can remember rn anyway lmaooo #shit i didn't mention the tips for backgrounds that i know #eh that's environment most of this deals with character work anyway #i learned most of this from tutorials and kind artists who like to talk about their work #i would not know NEARLY as much about creative shit as i do if it weren't for the people who were willing to talk about their skills #and their tricks and their observations. id be nothing without them i dont remember most of them but i am so so grateful for that kindness #so ig here ill spread that a little further #if you have any questions go ahead and ask i am a NERD about art okay i do not know everything but i am always willing to talk about what i #do know #art tips #one of the most important things for you to do as an experienced or beginner artist tho #is to PLAY #experiment #figure out what's fun and what looks nice and what looks nice faster and just. whatever the fuck you want to learn #it is SUCH a joy

Look at my self indulgent dishelved sewer rat-looking fursona for Jinx boy (they look better on most days but y'know)

Cutting this off now cuz I'm fairly sure I'll be adding more to this in a reblog later

They/them for this creation of mine for epik and deep lore purposes that I will not write out rn because if I commit to the bit it would end up being 4am with me having to go to school by 6

All the context you get for now is that since the reference image is from the last episode, my guy(gn) here is after one severe beating from Knux(Ekko)(<-reason why the tails look so beaten and you can't see it but one is missing, see; angst reasons) an arm length explosion from their own bomb(realized way too late that the bomb actually blew up on Jinx's right hand side, way too late as in, half of coloring finished already. well in my AU it happened on Nine's left hand side!!!) and a bunch of Dark Gaia juices(Shimmer)(<-will think about the technicalities of thisnkater) injected into them as an effort to keep them from dying

personally think fob should just exclusively do posth songs at wwwy fest especially mania songs. they should hire me to make their setlist <3

#ultimately i am unsurprised theyre doing this and also dont think its that big of a deal like #<- the culture of the festival is culture theyre deeply embedded in they were bound to eventually #its gonna be a at max 1 hour set on one day in 11 months the festival is lame but whatever man JFKDNDK #mostly tho. i think this would be so funny. i think they have the opportunity to continue being the funniest band ever #txt #p: 100

so... apparently I've been writing Sammelweis' name wrong the entire time. It's Semmelweis, just like the doctor Ignaz Semmelweis.

I do wonder if she's going to have a heavy-handed reference to the real-life Semmelweis. Look him up, his story and role in the founding of antisepsis practices is incredibly interesting if you're into medical history like me.

Got my first display tab! And the first thing I tested it with is an anime Connie sketch lol.

HUGE thank you to my supporters at Ko-fi, as that's where I got the funds. 😊😊🤗💕

Seems needed time to get used to, and I use more shortcut keys than the number of shortcut buttons on the tab; but I am already loving the it so far! My laptop, on the other hand, is not handling it too well. 😅

#I did kind of expect the laptop to act like it is right now. Which was another reason for buying a cheaper display tab to save up more on #a new laptop. #I got an Xp Pen 13 by the way! #It's looking great so far #The screen is much more closer to my face now tho. Lol #The colors come out different than both my laptop screen and cellphone. 🤔 #But I think the xp pen has too much red tint? #Anyway. I have to tuck the XP pen for the moment. Not just because I needed a better laptop. I'm in the middle of doing commissions and #can't do those while still getting used to the laptop ...while also dealing with the lag. #The laptop's power drains even faster with the display tab and it lags even quicker the more layers I add. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ #Laptop can't handle it very well. #Connie Maheswaran #SU #my shiz #Xp Pen #Thank you to my ko-fi supporters!!!!!!!💕💕💕 #This was a screenshot redraw by the way. Or at least a screenshot redraw of a scene by memory. #You know the scene. #I wish I was able to make Connie look more pissed off tho. Lol #I also used the tab for a some of the sketches of my current commissions and I am so sad that I can't use it throughout the process. #It's so much easier doing the sketches with it than on the screenless tab! But it also lags. Orz

Mushy May will heal ghumblr. I know it will. I believe in it. I’m manifesting it.

#raindrop month was so… disappointing #and it’s maybe a little my fault #but not entirely #I get it everyone is busy #I’m a little sad about it though #I am just so confused as to how fandoms for shows that were done like a decade ago are going strong #but we all fall apart while waiting for the next album #I would like to say I’ll just hop skip jump to something more active #but I simply do not want to #how the fuck would I deal with all that canon lore anyway #making it all up is what’s fun #some of you are keeping ghumblr alive daily with chest compressions and epi #using the defibrillator and doing mouth to mouth #no body call it tho it’s not dead yet or something

You know when you think about it, like, yes, Crocodile was theoretically weak as shit when he got his ass handed to him by Baby Luffy in Alabasta. His sudden power-up in Marineford and current bounty feel kind of out of place for him, right. Like if he lost to Baby Luffy, then surely this man can't be that stronk, right

But of course, to be fair, by the time the two fought Crocodile had been sitting on his ass for over a decade in the middle of Paradise, never having to lift as much as a finger to completely overpower the weak haki-less pirates that would pass by Alabasta every now and then. It is an entirely fair argument that Crocodile was just straight up rusty and Luffy just gave him the first workout he's had in a decade (which he was not prepared for, at all) (Also Crocodile was overconfident, it's entirely possible had wasted a lot of energy toying with Luffy, and by the time he started to take things seriously he was already starting to get worn down. So like, he lost to hubris, his own overconfidence)

But also, considder this

The only person we know Crocodile's ever lost to (besides Luffy) was Whitebeard. And more specifically, Whitebeard, when he was young and spry and not dying of Old Man Disease. Crocodile lost to Whitebeard when he was arguably at his strongest.

So theoretically speaking, Crocodile's power level doesn't have to be tied down to his defeat to Pre-Gear Luffy, rather, we know his power level just doesn't reach Primebeard Levels. It's a scale

Regardless of wherever Croc might actually land on that scale specifically, Primebeard is just beyond Crocodile's max. Or at least was, when Croc was in his early 20s. He did spend over a decade lazing around, but he's also had a full timeskip to workout and get swole again, so who the fuck knows, maybe current Croc COULD sweep not just WB but also Primebeard

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #I am not SERIOUSLY suggesting current Croc would be strong enough to take down Primebeard #Like sure until Oda proves otherwise then theoretically but I HIGHLY FUCKEN DOUBT IT #I *AM* suggesting that Croc could turn out to be actually far stronger than anybody expected tho. Potentially. #Like he gets treated as ''the weakest Shichibukai'' but... yeah he could be just underestimated #God knows the story wouldn't have made such a Big Fucking Deal about Crocodile losing to Luffy if he had been TRULY that weak #Not to get all Power Scale-y #I am unironically wondering this more on a ''how the fuck does this man fit into the narrative'' kinda way #I just. I don't know how to put those thoughts I have into words without it sounding power scale-y
