#i dont really feel like drawing but i should do it...

[transgenderer]

i feel like when we talk about "third genders" we kind of have to be careful about the emic/etic distinction. like for example with the hijra or the feminielli i think etically they at least WERE pretty unambiguously a third gender category, in the sense that they filled a distinct gendered social role. and you might draw this in contrast to various groups throughout history who did NOT fill a third gender category but do problematize a simple two gender two sexes equivalence (like, people born with penises who filled a female social role, or people born with vaginas who filled a male a social role). like bugis society fits this better imo than the description of them as "five gender society".

but to be clear, i think arguably trans women in various times in the US have occupied an (etic) third gender! but theres an entirely separate question about what the EMIC genders in a society are. like, american culture doesnt really have an emic third gender. but societies with emic third genders have existed (like, i think eunuchs are often essentially this).

whats actually interesting to me is that modernity seems to have dissolved a lot of etic gender distinctions without dissolving emic gender distinctions. like...labor is SO much less gender-separated in modern american society than it was in mosy societies throughout history. i mean, thats not to say its totally unstratified, look at these graphs, but also look at how many things like in the middle. and in particular modern anglo society is generally vocally against this kind of stratification in a way i think is unique to modernity? like, there have been lots of egalitarian societies, but socieities that said "men and women should do the same kinds of work" not so much (i think! if you have counter examples, let me know!)

to be cler we definitely DO still have etic gender but i think the economic aspects have shifted faster than the cultural perception in an interesting way, like, the conception of the ways gender is important in some ways overshadows the extent to which gender is actually important, except of course that percieving gender as important MAKES it important because we live in a society. what was my point. oh. yeah. i dont know enough about indian society to know if hijras form an emic third gender or if they still form an etic third gender (i think the social role for them has mostly atrophied? in large part because of english colonial rule?) BUT i think you can meaningfully say "(some) hijras are women (in the sense that trans women, in the western conception, are women)" AND "hijras form(ed) a third gender".

i genuinely genuinely feel like such an uncreative and uninspired artist. i feel like im not really capable of creating anything. or at least not anything new or interesting. i worry all i make is a regurgitation of other things ive seen other people do better. i keep chasing some kind of Spark thats always missing and makes me always frustrated even if you could point out good drawings that ive made. i want to make something that's truly me i want to make something out of my ideas i want to make something meaningful. i want my art to be able to reasonate with others like others' art were able to reasonate with me. im always making piece after piece hoping to get somewhere but im always left unsatisfied. i dont really know what is it i want or what i should do

#🧃 #ironic to post like 20 minutes after i made a post about a design idea but then i tried to figure something out and immediately started #doubting myself #its hard to articulate or express these worried. people are supportive but it doesnt help #someone can say they like my art or think its beautiful or find it inspiring but i still Dont Like it #its not so much a problem with other people its a problem with Me. I Am never satisfied with my own art #stuff keeps left being thrown to gather dust on my gallery unposted because i hate all of it. #not because of how it looks but how it feels. it never feels Enough

more phoenix wright situations

#ace attorney tag #maybe i should tag this narumitsu or something. but i dont really care. #gearing up to rereading/illustrating bits of my fic i suppose...i think nick really is too dense to realise he's in love with edgeworth #without some scheming fop trying to intrude. i love villains like kristoph..villains can be fun..witnessing their pathetic folly.. #or more like edgeworth would never have mentioned his feelings ever in his life if he wasn't sure phoenix reciprocates. #i want to see it this way because Falling in love during childhood with the person you're going to end up with. is not relatable #there have to be Situations that make you Realise. #as with orufrey i adore the idea of people not working out their romance with that person until their 30s+ #but... i mean. even with orufrey i often think how alaira could be qifrey's ex. and oru having been pursued by noble fops through his work #there is that delicate sliver of time before orufrey start living together that such believable situations could have happened. #Then the relief of politely and amicably extricating themselves from those untenable situations #the idea of falling in love age 7 and saving your first kiss for age 35 or something is all very well but more relatable is #people realising how they really feel whilst trying something that ends up feeling wrong. #The comfort and joy of living with your dearest one as if it's platonic - much preferable to trying anything more with anyone else. #But i doubt i will ever portray that or mention it further. it is indeed very delicate to me. #and i really am an OTP FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kind of person who can barely bear to consider this anyway...NOT a polyshipper i'm afraid ! #so i wouldn't mind either if they do have their first kiss in their lives age 35 with each other either. I would not mind that at all. #i love bi/gay couples apparently... bi father figures & their grumpy gay men waiting for them to work it all out... #not used to using colour in comic-style drawings..or at all..so this is messy and awkward looking..but colour is refreshing #i imagine i will go back to witch hat art soon btw. my destiny in life. #i still remember writing my nrmt fic expecting to write their first kiss & then partway through twas like Umm No. They have kissed prior. #does that really line up with this comic though... i think i had their early dinner dates/first kiss BEFORE disbarment. #so i guess this comic doesn't line up with my ficverse.... No..... U___U Oh well. sorry kris! <3

its so hard to watch time pass when things like careers and assignments exist. what do you mean im supposed to take that seriously

#I have an assignment that was due a week ago and I really really dont want to do it. I have to but i dont want to #im probably making it worse because my brain has built a wall around it so now i can’t do literally anything else until thats done. but #because I don’t want to do it I’m just kinda stuck. turns out this is what they meant when they said emotional regulation is part of #exec dysfunction.. I’ll have a thought like if I get a little bit of it done now i can get it over with. I can just submit something #and then not even 5 minutes later itll be like ugh but I have to draw all the assets out. I have to write things and make spreads ugh #and its just flopping between those two things. i hate it when ppl are like well how much time do you need to work on one thing #because BOY id love to know too. I’d love to know exactly when my brain wants to cooperate with me and work around that but I cant #even my period can’t decide when it wants to punch me in the stomach. which is kinda funny in the grand scheme of things but still #its so weird im just lying on my bed thinking abt all this like damn.. the time will pass anyways no matter what I decide to do.. damn…. #if I submit that assignment now and take the L I literally won’t die. it’ll just be a deduction on an assignment nobody will ask me about #I know this but I’m still stressing myself about it so my thoughts aren’t really connecting to my body. weird #maybe its because Im having a hard time looking forward to things. theres definitely a lot I should be living for but I don’t really feel #a strong attachment to it I guess? it’s been like this for a while with holidays and meeting with friends so I just don’t #I kinda figured its because im pretty passionless and its more like passing interest. but it’s not very fun when it feels like I’m going to #be living distraction to distraction for the next 70 years or so lol #idk it kind of feels like slowly bleeding out. which is funny because I actually did experience blood loss this week #had a 30 minute nosebleed and literally could not stand. also it felt like someone was pinching the back of my brain which was interesting #yapping #does this count as vent #vent #Ive just been making an oc carrd and contemplate changing my blog header for the past 3 days honestly

tumblr said draw something bad so I did but I'm mad I still didn't feel anything

#man i started tagging this and i cant even bring myself to do it. hashtag art hashtag illustration hashtag capitalism. #sorry to be sadposting... tumblr is the only place i can admit ive actually been really really struggling with my love for art... #i should be grateful. i should be thankful for the fact that i can do art as my job. i shouldnt be whining about it like this. #but theres a hole in my soul where my joy for creating used to be and i dont know how to fix it. i want to love to draw again. #its been like this for probably over a year now and i dont know what to do. i cant abandon everything ive been working on for 7 years. #im also unemployable. so its not like i would dare to quit moonlume...but i just want to find joy in it again... #but capitalism has dug its wretched claws into my skull so badly that everything has been feeling incredibly soulless. i hate it. #anyway. might delete this later. its unprofessional but this is the one website where i can let go of professionalism for 5min and be human. #i dont hate what i do and i really am thankful..i just i wish i wasnt so stressed about making everything look good and perfect and sellable #but at this point its subconsciously connected to my survival that every time i think about drawing i stress myself out before i even start #ugh idk. neither here nor there. cant quit but dont feel connected to my work but cant change what i do or i will alienate my audience 👍

[marcmorrigan]

finally delivering on the princess tutu headshots i promised... love these dysfunctional teens 🩰💖💕

LOTS of notes about headcanons/design choices under the cut! like. a lot. dont say i didnt warn you

starting with my specialest guy fakir:

i had a suuuper clear vision for fakir, and i couldnt be happier with how he turned out, he looks exactly how i imagine him! trying to translate his Bird-Shaped Hair into my style gave me SERIOUS homestuck flashbacks. my affinity for knights with Problems knows no bounds...

adding the hyperpigmentation around his eyes and his acne scars is what really solidified this for me-- i put those in and was like oh!!! there you are!!! my boy!!! and you can tell because i gave him acne scars + thick eyebrows that he IS my boy... there are very clear trends among my headcanons for my faves lol. big noses, thick eyebrows, skin imperfections, heavy eyebags, long dark hair... and fakir truly has it all 😤 he is so Ideal Character Design to me

i think fakir is actually pretty self-conscious about his appearance tho! we see characters like pike and lilie say hes handsome to ahiru, but i dont know how often he actually hears that? and im sure its hard not to compare himself to mytho, who is straight out of a fairy tale; being a regular teenager dealing with regular teen body stuff is hard enough without your roommate being a magically beautiful eternally youthful storybook hero. i think he probably internalises more that people see him as scary and angry, and that the girls who do have crushes on him always frame it in contrast to mytho, who is Good and Kind and Handsome, implying (or sometimes outright stating!) that fakir is Bad and Mean and... Well...

fakir is very sensitive but quiet about it, so i think its a very private point of self-consciousness. i think he puts a lot of semi-secret effort into his appearance; canonically he has a lot of very funny and clearly customised clothing, and he chooses to keep his hair long and in a very particular style (i have a whole breakdown in my mind of how he achieves that style and it involves a surprising amount of pins and an unsurprising fuckton of teasing. i think his hair is a little fried from heat damage!), and i think that probably extends to other things, too, like manicuring his eyebrows and doing a lot of very Teenage Skincare that doesnt actually help his acne much lol. i think he probably has a lot of self-injurious habits and BFRBs like skin picking and chewing, mostly at his acne and around his nails (both of which he hates, because he knows he shouldnt but does it anyway). i think if he does it enough that theres noticeable evidence it feels, like, world-ending for him, ESPECIALLY if anyone asks what happened lol. do not perceive him except in the very specific ways and contexts he approves of THANKS

on to the narratives favorite princess, mytho:

again, i had a pretty clear idea of the vibe i wanted mytho to have going into this-- i want him to have, like, extreme prince charming vibes, very Classically Handsome without necessarily being 'conventional.' i thought a lot about 'the happy prince' story while i was working on this, and really wanted him to look like a cross between how the prince statue looks in my head and a porcelain doll. and also a cross between jonny brown and brigitte bardot? lots of very direct influences for him lol. so! lots of gold tones, gemmy eye color, cute little tooth gap, quivering wide-eyed thousand-yard-stare doe eyes and big ol dolly anime lashes, which were the very last thing i added because i was NERVOUS about pulling those off lol. they turned out cute tho! ive only done a handful of pieces for this series and i can already tell princess tutu is gonna make me up my lash drawing game considerably, these kids all look like they blink and cause a hurricane from the gale force wind of their falsies

also wait i lied the very last thing i did was add his freckles/beauty marks because he needed that little extra oomph and those were It. i think he probably has some on his hands/wrists too 💕

i was a little unsure if my idea for his hair would translate with this flat-color approach but im pretty happy with it! its supposed to be afrotextured hair (somewhere between 3b and 4c i think? wide range of potential i knowww but im still kind of hammering out my headcanons okay, this is exploratory lol) thats been rolled and finger-styled into his little feather shapes. i think loose, chunky twists would be another fun way to interpret his hair and twists are one of my fave styles to draw do i might draw him like that at some point too...

i guess fakir is the one who styles his hair for him before mytho gets his heart back? i imagine fakir is pretty meticulous about maintaining mythos health and appearance, even at the worst stages of their relationship. i think itd be hard for fakir to frame the way he treats mytho as For Mythos Sake if he wasnt doing some level of actually beneficial care for him, so being really fastidious about things like mythos diet and sleep hygiene and hair care and such gives fakir an outlet for his 'you just have to do what i tell you' thing that helps him convince himself it really is helping, no really, hes doing this for mythos benefit and he just has to be strict with him because mytho doesnt UNDERSTAND he needs PROTECTING and fakir is the ONLY ONE who can do it so mytho HAS to let him because if he doesnt then why does fakir even EXIST, if he cant manage this then what is he good for, and--

yknow. the usual complexes. and their relationship is so complex!!! but also so simple, but like. in a good way. fakirs behavior is complicated but his motivation regarding mytho is SO straightforward which makes that downward spiral into harm really easy to map out... i wont go much into that in this post since this is about visual/appearance-related headcanons but just. augh. i love this show and i love these characters!!! and i hope its apparent in my work that i do love them so <3

im hoping to do a set of these for the girls next!!! i have some other stuff to finish first but hopefully... Soon... Some Birds...

#princess tutu #fakir #mytho #prince siegfried #my art #i had sooo much fun playing around with style in these... the super strong white highlights + underpainting combo looks SO lovely #i should take this approach more often i almost never do!!! it rules and is fun to do #i was listening to my fakir playlist nonstop for DAYS while working on this and still intermittently since... #it feels like ive been sitting on these for a month but its only been 5 days omg. crazy... good to know tho #anyway i love themmm theyre everything. SO fun to draw i really hope i can do more art of them. i Want To... i have Ideas >:o) #btw is putting notes on my thoughts under a cut like this interesting for yall? its fun for me but idk if yall wanna read all that #i will probably continue regardless bc i love to hear myself talk esp abt my design choices but #im curious if my notes on my thought process are interesting to anyone else #if not oh well! thats what the cut is for 😤 nobodys gotta read it if they dont wanna im doing this for Me #full color

[creaturefeaster]

is the character you drew just recently a new character for colorquest?? or not?? and what's their name??

I don't know what she's for if anything yet, she was just a design that crossed my mind. Unlike most doodle designs I do though, she might stick around because I have already named her: Mia!

#mia lovehart was the name specifically that went through my head while drawing her #too sweet of a name maybe all together? idk. i dont know if i care SBDBFBFBSBS #ive been wanting to draw her out digitally but ive been busy since the day i got home >_< #to anyone reading these tags. i dunno!!! should i do anything with her. #does she feel like she could be anything. because i really can't decide if i should use her in something #or if i should just shelf her

yknow what . i like you . shows you my exe ocs and also gives you little summaries of them underneath the read more cut and in the tags :3 ( desc in alt text 4 the 1st img ! ) - Nicky 🌊

in order: Rawr.EX3/EXD (any) imagine sonic.exe + 2010s sparkledog raver culture . that's Rawr. she likes waffles and is a virus exe who lives in a bootleg rom pack of the first 3 sonic games & a sonic crackers prototype Itazura, Guardian of Mischief (she/they/it/plush) first ever pc port oc!!! what it says on the tin. secret 8th guardian who loves nothing more than causing problems and playing life-threatening pranks on people. you can tell they're after you if you hear what sounds like jingling bells and giggling around your house in the dead of night. oh and plush's kyofu's kid 👍

Sew (any, no she/her) amorphous dimension travelling critter that uses sewing / crafting to make it's "skin" , typically based off of pre-existing people in the dimension. saw sonic and his super form and thought he was the COOLEST thing alive, so it chooses to resemble him :] Sink/Waterhog/Nicky (we use he/it but it doesn't rlly care /ref) literally just me lol , but from a 3rd person perspective he's a personal take on Mr. DJ's "Sink Sonic" concept . he's like 12-13ish and has way too much lore for me to summarise but fun fact : worldbuilding wise, he's a mish-mosh of the games, the Shogakukan sonic manga and a little bit of sonic x sprinkled in. :3

#scary / weird sonic tag 🩸🌭 #sonic.exe #creepypasta #exe community #exe oc #sonic pc port #sink fnf #below the depths #chaos nightmare #scene kid #scenecore #scene oc #fun fact . that sweater i drew sink wearing is NOT the only one he has and every time i draw him he's wearing a different one. always #he never really has the same one on twice in my drawings unless im feeling a vibe and if you ever want to draw him you can also #make up a sweater for him to wear!!! just know he always has on long sleeves so youre free to give him a tshirt layered over a long sleeved #shirt too . you dont gotta limit yourselves like i do i just default to sweaters lmao #you can also do this with rawr but with like. ALL of her parts except the teeth (theyre consistently neon yellow or neon green) #so feel free to go nuts if you draw rawr. like actually. give them cool hoodies or clothes or new bang patterns idc go OFF that's the point #ita and sew are meant to be consistent as possible but tbh you could draw sew with different patch patterns and ita with a different bow #tl;dr I Love Customising My Little Guys and therefore everyone who wants to draw them should also give themselves that joy #also also. please tell me if the alt text is good. im not very good at IDs and i am chronically low on spoons so i never write them #this is to say that if you have the spoons and better descriptive vocab PLEASE write img ids for my art if you feel the need to #i want my art to be as accessible as possible and that includes allowing those with low visibility to be able to visualize my work

Image ID: A detailed digital illustration of a bedroom for Ralsei from Deltarune in a watercolor style. A chandelier lights the scene from above in blue, including a covered 4-poster bed + chair with plenty of books next to it (right / center), a closet filled with clothes (left / center), a bookshelf with a ladder filled with books and crafting supplies (center), a stack of unpacked boxes (left), and a desk cluttered with craft supplies and drawn-on papers (front right). The brick walls are covered with drawings and glow in the dark stars, hearts, and moons, and paper doll garlands line the perimeter. Two tapestries on the rightmost wall frame a large stained glass window. Just middle of left, Ralsei's hat hangs on the back wall. End ID.

Image ID: A page titled "Environment Intensive Packeting: Ralsei's Bedroom. There are 6 called out items from the previous illustration (shown at the top left), which include: 1. Window design, which features the Delta Rune motif / symbol. The bottom part of the window is colorful. 2. Banners (tapestries). They depict two different scenes from Ralsei's prophecies, one shows 3 heroes emerging from the world's edge, and the second depicts a Titan at the world's end. 3. Unused Manual pages, one contains a drawing of Ralsei with the text "Thank you! I'm looking forward to meeting you!" with a heart at the bottom. The second has text that says "Dedicated to the unending pillar of darkness that gives my body form." 4. Desk clutter: pink strings of yarn, dry macaronis, and a green crayon. 5. A string of paper dolls with varying shapes: a darkner, a lightner, a save point, and a heart. 6. Wall decor, including glow in the dark stars and drawings of other characters. End ID.

[linthehero]

ok im sorry to come in here with a ranty preachy sort of “woke” ig post (even though it should just be common sense) but i feel the need to say this again,

the colors in the first row are colors i picked directly from pictures of brandon, specifically from his skin and even more specifically pictures of him as bryce, i tried to pick images that had very little filter or funky lighting or anything like that, theyre arranged lightest to darkest

the colors in the bottom row are colors i picked from certain fanart of bryce that i found online, not from any specific artist or website, i just picked any i found that i felt belonged here, theyre arranged darkest to lightest

so hey! uhh sorry for being a sensitive snowflake or whatever but why are we doing this? i know lighting is different and anyone can look different in any sort of lighting or filter but if that person generally appears to have a darker complexion in most of their pictures maybe you should draw them with one, and some of these cant even be justified like cmon that last one is paper white. there’s no logical reason for this and it just feels gross? dare i say kind of colorist? idk just a thought, maybe we shouldn’t, i feel like it’s pretty easy to not do this

#this isnt everyone obviously but it is a handful of people #i dont get what you get out of doing this i really don’t #like it can be an honest mistake but #really dawg? #this happens with a lot of the characters but i see it the most with her #bryce tankthrust #and yeah i draw his characters sort of far from accurate #especially bobby #but i feel like theres a line between headcanons and changes for fun to a character and just flat out whitewashing? #and sure yeah maybe it’s a little ridiculous for me to preach about something like this over brandon rogers #yk with all his history #but i dont really care this is weird as fuck to me #and it should be weird as fuck to you
