#i dont draw him enough OR talk about him enough

[puppyeared]

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

#i dont normally write long posts like this but i think ive been trying to put this into words for a long time and it finally happened #my cloth mother spirit tracks zelda and my wire mother lttp zelda #ACTUALLY ANOTHER THING when i was a kid i always felt guilty when i had to catch the legendary at the end of the game #because to me it was like 'i know none of this is real but if i capture you and have you under my thumb am i robbing the world of something #normal thoughts for a 10 year old to have #when i talked to my brother abt this he was like 'i mean yeah the point is to dunk on the NPCs what were you expecting' and i mean i think #i get that its supposed to feel rewarding because the legendary is THE reward. but it doesnt feel right and i dislike he feeling of pushing #others down to get ahead. i guess u can argue sun/moon does smth similar where you have nebby with lillie #but lillie still ends up handing nebby over to the player and i STILL feel bad because im like shit man you raised that little guy #and koraidon/miraidon feels less like a reward but more like overpowered motorcycle lizard that is just so oupydog. and i love him #and in spirit tracks i went out of my way doing some of the side quests bc zelda asked nicely and honestly that was enough for me #i think all of this boils down to.. i feel very protective abt things i care abt so stories that give me a reason to care hits harder #this can also go the other way bc i CRIED when i finished links awakening because i KNEW every person and im responsible for #literally the end of their world. like. there was a family with 5 kids. marin loved singing and cared about me. she was my FRIEND #i just. ugh. i have too many feelings rn. i kinda wanna draw more spirit tracks link and zelda i think that wld make me feel better #yapping #diary #loz #pokemon

When you draw Dave it looks so much like the comic but manages to avoid any uncanniness 👍

well, i can certainly do whatever the hell this is:

but obviously i wanted to put some of my own ingredients into the design like people do, however thats more specifically for william, i made a "reference sheet" for him how i wanted to draw him initially

but when it comes to Dave, i like to mix it up and go for something in the middle i guess? like taking my Will design and Dave and put them in a blender and whatever comes out of it is what you see

but obviously im taking full inspo from pinky, and all controversies aside, i do like her artstyle and i think the comic has just been drawn in more rush? no idea, but her personal work seems more polished atm. and yeah the comic panels do look quite uncanny but i think the design is a great one, and somehow it just stuck in my brain as The William design, not even the movie one took the spot (even reading parts of the novelization, i just see Dave in that Williams spot)

also gotta add, i prefer my Will at least a little bit "ugly" unstead just conventionally hot. (well he is hot to me like this lol) so i will still try to implement the goofy comic style as i go aaand i do love drawing in a cartoony style, it just looks weird if i do shading and painting so. yippee inconsistency!!

ALSO have to mention gorillaz. i wonder if it shows but Jamie's artstyle is a huge inspo to me so, my Will is like, Dave if he was gorillaz or something. uncanny Murdoc 🤝 uncanny William. and i make them more pleasant looking. i think

#answered #i wanted to send a quick reply yesterday but then i realized im the guy that loves to talk about himself so i thought up a long answer #i wanted to draw more examples but i dont have enough time so i only spat out that dave but imagine there was like a whole cooking going on #a full on cauldron where i was listing the ingredients i put into drawing him and whatever #my art #long post #uhhh shhhhhhhh #thanks for asking! #fnaf #five nights at freddys #william afton #dave miller #five nights at freddy's #crunchchute art

:D (I ramble in my tags about this)

#shuichi iguchi #shigaraki tomura #mha spinner #bnha spinner #spinaraki #spinneraki #ok now that the tags are out of the way LETS TALK #i was reading a webtoon when female lead did that whole laugh and cover it with your hand thing and i do it sometimes too #and i got to thinking about WHY and why its usually girls depicted as such and i know some people dont like their teeth/smile #and im like well shut the fuck up! im thinking fem spinner!!! like being self conscious about how she looks and developing it on accident #and shigaraki never really noticing until one day she DOES and wow spinner looks really pretty when she laughs and why does she hide it #like damn!!! i have a lot of thoughts about what spinner but female and the changes that would have on the character and why and agdjfkflg #ANYWAYS someone stop me from regressing to the old way i used to do hair bc its too damn time intensive but its so easy to zone out during #fem shigaraki #fem spinner #was going to properly do the background but i got done after forgetting the texture for spinner for the 4th time + went eeeh good enough #also!!!!!! the last “”panel“” made me realize how weird that angle is to draw spinner with his major proportions and also keep the soft 1/2 #2/2 smile reading as a smile and agdhfkfl am i adding “looks like a resting bitch face” to my spinner headcanons? maybe. #but imagine spinner trying so hard to look approachable and give a little smile but his face just????? doesnt do that very well (at least #not as easily as more human looking humans) and how that might play into his ostracization and then him leaning into that #as a defense mechanism (like if they think im an ass then I'll look like an ass on purpose) ahdndn he was so grumpy in the bar in the bg #mha jbee

[dha1drated]

thinking about charles again god i love him i love him so much. did you guys know i love him? because i do. i love him. wow

#i dont talk about him enough #i dont draw him enough either #i'm feeling so ILL about him recently. wow. love that guy

[kirumiri]

some kazuki appreciation + my hc for his body type

STRONG

#buddy daddies #kazuki kurusu #my art #i was seeing a bit of talk about how strong he is and i agree #he has to be jacked and solid enough to carry both rei and miri but i dont see him as like.... full tank if u get #idk i have a very specific image in my head and im working on drawing it #im so used to my other fandom where all my faves are a ton of muscle i have to control myself w kazuki #anyway he's a precious golden retriever that can and probably will throw you straight to the moon

[homoeroticvillain]

oogh not really happy with this, but i finally drew rey, who is teddy's betrothed [lore dump in tags]

#i usually don't find a character's sexuality notable enough to be written down #but super important for rey #cause hes the crown prince and he kinda just accepted that he would marry a woman he'd hate and has been planning how he'd cheat on her all #his life #but turns out his betrothed is actually a guy so good for him #obviously doesnt know this for a while and is very confused about why he seems to be attracted to a woman #anyways he obsessively reads romance novels and dreamily sighs over like 50 shades ass books #he has three sisters a fact you can kinda tell from his vibes #he has like one friend and thats niccolo [nick] who has to listen to his confused sexuality crisis due to ''mia'' #he's also just kinda a weird mess who is trying his best to live up to his title and its sorta working?? #anyways i do love these ocs i should talk about them more #but i dont love drawing then #people should just ask me questions instead :]]] #klepto talks to himself #klepto rants about ocs #prince rey [oc] #teddy [oc] #klepto's art tag

[maskyartist]

For the lil oz doodle prompts. Him being upset and comforted by Qrow, maybe?

[I know, I'm a massively convincing anon...]

you can make it whatever scenario you'd like i just know i wanted more self indulgent beacon days content :)

#masky gets the mail #cloqwork #ozqrow #professor ozpin #qrow branwen #doodles #personally i like to think this is the aftermath of oz's breakdown over gretchen's death :) #we dont talk about what he did to hazel enough nor the aftermath of it #must've gotten a lot of attention as the youngest headmaster to let a student die under their watch #that alongside the vytal festival? lord knows he's been at this point for awhile #also *points at ozpin frantically ripping his shoes off before running into the emerald forest* autism spotted. #socks... i just didnt wanna draw his shoes but like socks #him comfy

[marcmorrigan]

i have decided this year is His Year so i guess i have to learn to draw water and also finalise his outfit designs. smh. the things i do for love.

OC: shaide (he/him)

#my art #my ocs #KatH #dailies #shaide #hes sooo fun to draw ngl... i never draw his arms big enough in these tho. gotta work on that #he is TOO DAMN TALL btw. not the tallest KatH character by a long shot (thats isaya) but shaide is Up There #i think hes thirrrd tallest in the main cast? isa and letei definitely beat him but i think everyone else is 5'10 or shorter #idk if he or letei wears taller shoes tho lmao. but even in their platforms neither of them is as tall as isaya #anyway the year of shaide is off to a good start bc i connected SEVERAL dots about him today... for instance #relevant to the shoe talk #he got the idea for his boots from looking at rauel! and rauel doesnt know that. which is so Chefs Kiss to me considering rauels complexes #and! i had an idea for how to narrow down shaides ending... ive known where his arc leaves him at the end of the story for a while but #i think ive come up with a way to make it even better AND tie it in more to other plot stuff >:o) #and it maintains the kind of bittersweet vibe i wanted + gives him a little more content With Rauel which i think is Needed tbh #anyway yayyy i said i was gonna draw my daily and i did!!! now my mutuals dont have to beat me to death with sticks <3

[flamboyant-king]

That sure sounds like something bad is going to happen to these teens just doing their homework.

#this is old but i never posted it #the context is we were playing with that character ai thing in april and i was trying to see if the thing could properly answer math #it could not because not even the equation for a parabola was correct #(so at the end of the story we had was eli crying about not know what a parabola is) #but what happened in the story is theyre parallel studying in liam&charlie's apartment when they hear screaming and police sirens #they look out the window and then look up and they see a man on the opposite apartment complex standing on the edge of the roof #drama ensues and charlie and joey have an extended interaction that makes me want them to be friends rather than acquainances thru eli #but that whole ordeal was not canon but it does open the door to my mind. so that ai shenanigans wasnt all negative #i dont touch the thing anymore tho. but i did find this pic again and remembered...i need to draw these kids more #and they are my kids now. i made them in high school so they were my peers but now they are my children #oc stuff #find eli #joey #charles #eli #also char and joey were able to talk the man down or at least distract him enough until EMTs were able to bring him down

[skunkes]

General oc talkkkk

I feel like i have to Do something with al once i take him off the shelf again (when my brain lets go of talon for another few months), ive been motivated to draw talon because he sits in my brain and i imagine interactions but it's much harder with al since al has been around for 10 years or more...and Al has like. Less conflict? In the sense of him just being a nice kind guy with regular human issues in a normal human world (or cow with regular individual issues in a normal furry world lol) ykwim?

Like. Talon is exaggerated he's a caricature of feelings to play with he's got lots of internal contradictions... and outside of that the whole Setting is easy to play with too, like, he's a vampire and those elements are more fun to think about and incorporate and build up in a way that requires a bit more brainpower of the fun variety (can make shit up) than Just a Regular Guy (has to be nore realistic, less fun to research), but less brainpower than, say, my abandoned Space Ocs where it was way harder for me to just make shit up, and way more to make shit up about (not as fun for me)

Idk! Its easy to imagine Talon in interactions, including ones with Al, or just self exploring dialogue....

Other than cute interactions between al and smunker its a lot harder to find stuff with him...he's a guy living in our regular world... his life has been fairly normal and he's good and nice. And i wouldnt change any of those things just to change em but there's less conflict other than the usual internal stuff all humans experience. I think if he wasnt my imaginary bf I would have shelved him more permanently like the oc group he came with...

There's something about how i very rarely make ocs, he's technically my oldest oc and talon is my newest oc, talon is what i Feel making ocs should feel like. And he's only over a year old. And he's still not even what I would call a well written character in any capacity. And yet i dont think i could very easily replicate this again ykwim. Im so bad at writing, and ..... creating....! Idk how people do any of it....i just wanna extend my ocs lives and my interest in them forever...

#talkys #long post #thinking also about how my friend said maybe id fare better if i didnt wait for my ocs to sort of fester in my brain to write them #bc thats how i do it...ive only been getting talon ideas because i talk to him all day in different scenarios i havent been able to exhaust #bc he's brand new #al's like. set in stone theres not much to draw because i just replay scenarios now. stagnated #i fear talon will get to a point like that too #like my brain will Fix Him and Therapize him and it wont be able to go back to the conflict he had Before that #so i wont play with him anymore...ykwim? #but i dont KNOW how to just make a character without having them show themself around in my brain #i barely even know how to make one in the way i do it now #bc i dont make ocs...bc i dont understand how to do Good Concept‚ Conflict‚ AND flesh em out #cause i got concepts for my space ocs. not complete ones but they have blurbs #ive never been able to get them to interact with me or each other in my brain though so idk anything about them #nor have i cared enough to draw them more #nor would i be able to think of scenarios #ykwim...? #its weird #ugh. maybe i am meant to just be a commission artist‚ im no good at any other niche #i got the worst Roll.... #wish i had a brain...okay well im going to sleep neow goodnite
