gently slides you two silly scar headcanons..

1) he has vex wings, same as cub, but thinks they're scary-looking so he keeps them folded up. they're pretty thin and only semi-corporeal so he can pull this off with minimal discomfort most of the time

2) he is a very subtle shapeshifter but just. has never noticed ghfsjf. (so things like hair color, body type, face shape, and the appearance of nonhuman traits like his ears + tail change gradually over time. scar is and has always been completely unaware of this) (this is partially an explanation for why i draw him looking completely differently depending on the series but also to account for his many characters + skins. plus it's hilarious)

#goodtimeswithscar #hermitcraft #hermitcraft fanart #desert duo #grian #trafficblr #gtwscar #doodles #i have the skins next to the drawings just because it's funny. like look at what i drew and then look at the canonical guy. epic #also i think this might be my favorite way to draw tbh :] doodle a bunch of one character on a canvas with a square brush without sketching #-and then color it + add a bunch of text around it. there's just something to the composition of it that brings me such joy #anyways this is my current favorite thing i've ever drawn <3 i hope you like it too #i added so many little details fjkshf

I love miraculous ladybug. Not ironically, not spitefully. I legitimately just think it’s a good show. I think it’s hilarious and genuinely fun and I always have a good time watching it. It brings a smile to my face and gets my synapses firing like not many other things can. I love seeing the characters go on wacky little episode-long adventures. I think the characters are extremely consistently written, where every episode I see them do something and think “oh my god, they so would do that”. I think their motivations and personalities make sense. I think the chemistry and dynamics between the characters are absolutely impeccable. I like watching them develop over time. I believe they have developed over time. I like the episodic format. I actually enjoy the slow, gradual plot, where characters can kind of just exist and have a bunch of different little mini-adventures where we get to see how the characters would react to all different kinds of situations without it all needing to be huge earth-shattering, plot-changing stuff. Sometimes that’s nice. It’s not for everyone, but I still think it’s good. I love it. I enjoy it. It’s my comfort show.

#and im not gonna add the obligatory ''yeah i know it has flaws BUT--'' ''it's not perfect BUT--'' because everything has flaws #and nothing is perfect. so it feels moot #and i kind of hate the expectation that in order to say anything positive about something you have to put a bunch of qualifiers on it #also this should go without saying but this post is not an invitation to complain about the show to me or in the notes #also perhaps this is a gentle reminder that my comic is absolutely not meant to be a dig at the show or an attempt to ''fix'' it #and more of a love letter than anything because i thin kthe characters made by the show are wonderful and i love them so so so much

Fanart of Aaron from Fox’s Tounge and Kirin’s Bone, an incredible book by @muffinlance

I worked hard on this an am incredibly proud of how it turned out. If you wanna hear about the process, feel free to check out me rambling in the tags.

#fox’s tongue and kirin’s bone #fanart #i really wasn’t sure how this would work out because i rarely ever draw book characters? But I drew this guy Once and that was it #I went ‘yeah that’s my boy. that works’ #i mostly went with what i envisioned though i did check the first chapter again to see if it said anything contradicting my design #and it did say Aaron had short hair but you know what? I really want him to have a little ponytail #I think he deserves a little ponytail #so i kept the ponytail #i was originally going to draw him with his silly little coat and add a heck ton of details #but the pose didn’t work out #There’s always next time! #with his current clothes his sash i guess is the most important part? #in the first chapter it talks about Aaron’s knife had been clad in black&gold previously #I assume in reference to the Man #Though I might be wrong #i binge-read the book in like three days #the details have escaped me #but yeah I did the sash with those colors because I thought it’d be cool #anyways i believe that’s most of it #i also have a bunch of doodles i made for warmup before this #that i’m also going to share at some point #i hope you like it!

I love your Diana so much but Please🥺 give her body hair 🥺

The lack of body hair had been a conscious choice originally because I wanted her skin to seem more like clay than animal (thus all the texture too). However the moment you sent this I went 😳 omg hairy Diana 😳. I am a firm believer in Diana having a lot of body hair in other interpretations, and I’m going to experiment over the next while to see how I can a) better render her skin to be clay-like, and b) see if body hair works.

But in the meantime, have some hairy Diana! ❤️

Version without clothes:

#I am VERY pro-body hair and think that on Diana it adds to the earthy vibes rather than subtracts from them #an added difficulty is that for the most part I’m trying to colour & ink like #the original comic style #which doesn’t lend itself to a bunch of details & complicated rendering #I have been adding some gradients though #also I do like the anatomy on this in terms of head:body proportions better than the previous but since the reference I use was so skinny #I struggled making her as muscular as I would have like #hmm #my art #dc comics #wonder woman #diana of themyscira #diana prince

day 99

i have NEARLY finished the skirt for my ren faire fit i just gotta get a few finishing details added and also get the undershirt bleached (bc i got a bunch of makeup on it at last years fair and shit Stained) but THEN i can show yall the final fit!!

#day 99 #year 5 #aradia megido #homestuck #its gonna be cute #i was so fucking stressed abt this one because like. #i bought my fabric and i was like oh yeah dude this is toooootally more than enough for a circle skirt #went to finally cut things #realized i only had enough for a half-circle skirt and it would end up with a bunch of weirdly-shaped scrap at the end #(ie i would have to do a bunch of weird piecing to make the waistband and pockets and such) #and like honestly a half-circle skirt was NOT enough volume for me i need my skirts swooshy #so i was like well. okay. i think i can optimize my fabric usage more if i draft a paneled skirt #but this of course required..... Math. #and unfortunately. i was an art major. so. there was a lot of struggling #BUT I DID IT. THERE WAS STILL A LIIIIITTLE BIT OF PIECING THAT HAD TO BE DONE BUT IT IS MINIMAL AND CAMOUFLAGED PRETTY WELL #and also this is for a ren faire primarily bc i dont wear a lot of skirts in day-to-day #SO. economical fabric usage is absolutely period accurate. even though none of the rest of my outfit or techniques are. #basically all thats left for me to do is add pockets and the closure at the back #i meant to add the pockets as i was doing the main construction but i got too excited and forgor #so theres gonna be some seam ripping but nothing too bad

uhhhhhhhhhh lifestealers from last weekend’s costesting

#lifesteal smp #mapicc #spokeishere #lifesteal smp cosplay #I need to add more color to spoke’s but in my defense I have NOT gone fabric/ribbon shopping yet for the roshambo cape and I refuse to make #a special trip just for one specific cos. there’s gotta be multiple things I need #I deffo do wanna lean more into technological stuff too im thinkin an elytra design with a bunch of the scrap wire and computer pieces from #part of my line of work bc I can get quite a bit for free #the Mapicc fits solid tho I know this bc honestly the base fit is one of my repeated outfits #i speak #me when i dress up in costumes for my own entertainment

show don't tell (and how to apply it)

I know I write about this a lot, and maybe I should elaborate a little. "show, don't tell"—use description in your writing, rather than saying it outright. and I think the difference is, really, for the reader: whether they are in the story, or outside of it.

you know what we read for: to escape, to find a new world. but would you rather truly live the adventure, or skim through texts about it?

here it is, simply.

showing - describing, telling things to the reader without saying them outright.

telling - showing something to the reader without any fancy words.

and doing this, it makes the characters more real. tangible, not a fantasy.

but they don't need to be all the time. so when do you use it? an easy way could be to write it all out, the way you intend it to be. do you see the world felt, or a variation of it, scattered throughout the writing? try swapping out how they feel with description that shows the reader it. do you use adjectives such as "pretty", or "big"? they're variable in different situations. use metaphors, similes, to show us that's its' pretty.

and then send your writing to someone. to a friend, to a relative, for anyone but yourself to read it. you want them to think "oh, that's pretty", rather than you tell them, because how would they know? if they understand you intention, and if they feel something, you know you must be doing something right.

*though with all writing advice, I should say this doesn't apply to everyone! writing advice is advice, and that's all it is. excellent writers get by without applying this, and they get by with using this.

#this is a bunch of words glued together #and on all my posts with show don't tell there are always some people who can't relate #or they need different cues than just description! #I can't speak for them though but if you do have something to add #please go ahead this was very brief and I don't think it touched it enough #I can't for my life write enough though #lyralit #writerblr #creative writing #writers #writing #writblr #writers block #writing prompts #writing ideas #show don't tell #writing tips

Oh no Sci! Are you okay?

i have a thingy in my peepee hole (and not in the fun way)

i've been through a lot this year.

#sci speaks #i had a lot of bad experiences this year. really bad. like a slew of really bad luck. #family issues. health issues. career issues. #but i'll be okay. i'll be okay next year. i hope. #i think i feel a lot braver now. at least about surgery. #doctors arent so scary. #maybe i can make steps towards top surgery now that i've had this experience. i'm less scared. #gonna have a bunch of surgeries coming might as well just add one more to the list.

i think i wouldn’t hate disco elysium’s collage mode nearly as much if it weren’t for 1) the way that it was marketed in such a tasteless, soulless manner, let alone the fact that it was a last ditch distraction from a dead on its feet studio piloted by dumbass thieving execs and released on the day of the court declaration, and 2) those dumbass fucking stickers

like if it had been included with the base game from the start and had been titled something a bit more tasteful and in-line with how i would have liked the feature to be marketed as— something like “exploration mode”, something that perhaps could only be unlocked after completing the game for the first time, AND didn’t have those stupid as hell visually and tonally incongruent with the artstyle stickers, i would have applauded it as a nice little bonus for being able to study and appreciate the 3d models and environments for reference.

#it is just so bleak man. #i have no words left to say for the latest development at zaum studios so instead i will just remember how fucked up this was lol #those stickers are the same energy as that dumbass fucking christmas card they put on steam. #cutesy fanart is awesome and all but don’t muddy the tone of the actual source with it. why is that necessary. #for gods sake what happened to boundaries #again i probably would take a different tone to even the stickers if #it had been done under the original creators (which i don’t think it would have‚ which is my point‚ but say hypothetically it happened) #but with the circumstances the way they are it is impossible to not view it all as tainted with a veneer of absolute tastelessness #and a disrespect to the source material and a sorry attempt to appeal to the shallowest parts of ‘fandom’ #like you can add cartoony emoji faces and a sticker with harry and kim as cats. or their hands with the caption ‘best friends!!!’ (wtf lol) #and a frame with a bunch of pride flags being waved around (hard to articulate why i feel doubly annoyed of this one. #your corporate pride parade aesthetic is showing again. also it feels… lazy) #but you can never‚ ever erase the fact that you are parading around a stolen IP that you are entirely out of touch with #and one that you clearly have *no idea what to do with* #(something that we’ve all known for months with these hints but today has finally been basically confirmed as the sequel seems to be #officially cancelled with the last of the original writers’ crew being laid off) #how could you have known what to do with Elysium? how could you ever have? #hope you have fun with your stickers. rot #disco elysium #me talking
