#maybe i won't be an artist

[mymp3]

not gonna do one of those "year in review" art things. but i will say this, even though this was a tough year, im really happy and the things i did end up drawing. lots of little things and comics. just doodles and the occasional piece. just things that made me happy. next year i want to continue that, i just wish and hope i'll continue to draw and that i'll make things i genuinely enjoy. i wanna go into 2024 with a smile. :)

#mikutimetalk #happy almost new years everyone! #i have some other things i could probably say regarding what i want for my art #like to learn perspective again #rundowns on anatomy #brushups and whatnot #coloring and experimentation #and to continue drawing things with backgrounds #but other than that i just want to draw #theres been a couple of times this year where ive just sat and considered the fact maybe i'll never make something ever again #maybe i won't be an artist #and i dont think i could live with myself if that were the case #i dont want anything standing in my way #i dont want any hardship or tough time hindering my relationship with self expression #i want art to be with me for the long haul #not just to talk about it but to actually show off what ive done #i want to be an artist in 2024. my goal is to not quit. #i'm gonna make another new years post that isnt about goals when the clock strikes 12 #but for now. its just about art

#artists on tumblr #back on my bs #overly detailed rooms is what i keep going back to #my weird comfort zone #kinda nervous about the state of twitter #thanks to the view count can see that people don't even see my posts right now as much as they used to #if people don't like my art that's fine #but if my followers don't get to even see my art #that sucks #what is the follow button even for if it won't show you posts from that person #maybe i really need to try to venture into... shudder... instagram again

Thinking about Sam asking Steve, "What makes you happy?" And when he doesn't have an answer, Sam starts paying attention to try and parse out little pieces of happiness from him. Once, he sees Steve doodling with a pen on the back of some extra receipt paper when they go out to lunch, Sam leading the charge to get him used to non-boiled future food 😉 They're waiting for Steve's card to be returned to him and, okay, damn, the history books left out that Steve's a pretty decent drawer. Sam can work with that... watching the quirk of Steve's mouth as he doodles.

So, Sam gets him some nice art supplies. No dollar-store pens or regular #2 pencils. Some expensive, apparently high-quality (according to the Internet, it really is helpful sometimes, ha) graphite pencils, a set of micron pens, and the appropriate watercolor paper, brushes, and pigment. The final cost is eye-popping to Sam in spite of his understanding of modern pricing. It's worth it, though. Because Steve uses them. He starts carrying a sketchbook along with his list book. And, eventually, he shyly shows Sam some of what he's worked on.

The sprawl of Central Park...

A broken section of sidewalk, grass creeping through the space made by the roots of an elder tree...

The skyline view from Steve's apartment...

A dog...

A potted plant sitting on Steve's balcony with a label that reads "my sadness buddy" (a gift from Natasha)...

An empty folding chair from the VA...

A steaming cardboard coffee cup.

Sam is blown away by the beauty of what Steve can create. He wonders, but he doesn't ask if Steve's ever had nice, vivid art supplies before. There's something impressive about the colors and way he experiments, pulling beauty out of nothing, with his new art supplies. But, also, there's something especially impressive about what he can do with any old pen or pencil lying about. Sam finds himself smiling, thinking about that old saying he's heard, a poor craftsman blames his tools. Steve is bluntly a master craftsman--in everything he does, he puts his entire heart into it. It's strange he hasn't drawn any faces or people, though. (There's definitely something there. Sam's gonna have to see what that's about, too.)

#read this as samsteve or as sam being the deeply caring and loyal friend he is #idk either way #i just couldn't stop thinking about it #maybe steve isn't showing sam the faces he's drawing because he's drawing sam (samsteve vibe) or he isn't showing sam the faces he's drawin #because all the faces are bucky #and its every moment from before the fall that steve remembers in perfect clarity but steve won't show him because it hurts #and he doesn't want to remind sam of riley in such a visceral way #idk #it's up to you #steve rogers #sam wilson #fandomfluffandfuck #samsteve #stucky #artist steve

Okay guys, hear me out:

Sea Serpent Hobie!!!

Sea Serpent Hobie who sinks any superyachts he comes across!

Sea Serpent Hobie who uses harpoon spears meant to kill him as piercings! And old anchor chains as jewelry!

Sea Serpent Hobie who attacks big commercial fishing boats that are destroying the ecosystem by overfishing

But also benign Sea Serpent Hobie, who aids those lost at sea!

Who helps smaller local fishing buisnesses with sustainable fishing

Who looks out for this small fishing community and in return they warn him whenever hunters show up in the area!

Sea Serpent Hobie who is huge but still manages to hide perfectly in the kelp forests!

Who has bioluminescence and uses it both to terrify enemies and as a way to calm down people in distress, as a way for him to signal goodwill - and to show off when he feels like it!

Who can change his pigmentation similarly to octopi to communicate his mood and feelings! Or just to blend in with his surroundings (also as a nod to the way he changes filters in the movie!)

Sea Serpent Hobie who's frequently seen swimming with whale pods- Orcas being his favourites to hang out with (they sometimes go on yacht sinking trips together)

Sea Serpent Hobie who likes to give people a show and will show off by breaching right next to unsuspecting boats

DO YOU SEE MY VISION?!??

SEA SERPENT HOBIE!!!!!!💙💙💙

#god I really wanna draw him now! #alas my artistic skills are not great to say the least lol #the idea just won't leave my mind! #idk in my mind he kinda looks like a mermaid crossed with a serpent a whale and an eel #he still has a mostly humanoid face and upper body but with features of the creatures I mentioned above #and also I imagine he's pretty big lol #like meduim to large whale sized big #at least that's how I pictue him but I'd love to hear you guys's interpretation of him! <3 #I love this au so much already it's such a fun concept for him! #I'm sure you could expand on it and fit other spider people into this au as well! #like maybe Gwen is the daughter of a fisherman and Hobie saves her after their boat capsizes or something #but lemme know if you guys have any ideas for this au as well! #this is a brand new au that I literally just came up with so it's not that well developed yet #so any input is very welcome! <3 #there are so many cool possibilities! #I'm unironically so hyped about this ngl! #I keep comming up with more ideas as I write this but I'm gonna try and limit myself for now lol #sea serpent hobie #hobie brown #spider punk #spiderverse #across the spider verse #atsv #across the spiderverse #across the spider verse au #spiderman across the spider verse #my post #my au

There are literally only four/five people writing Ezra Bridger x reader right now in the fandom, and you can bet your ass I'll hype every one of them every time they post something about it because they deserve it

#am I cringe? maybe #but that won't stop me from being your n°1 fan #If I can't help in the effort to feed Ezra fans the least I can do is support the artists #ezra bridger x reader #mor

there's an animorphs book (28, idk why i'm acting like i don't still have that shit memorized) where the animorphs hear the yeerks are developing like a pill or ray or other scifi whatsit that removes people's free will and the animorphs are like "holy shit if they crack this it's game over" and the entire time cassie is like "lol you idiots. free will is inherent to sentient creatures and cannot be removed while an individual still lives" and then at the end it turns out she's right and the yeerk scientists were faking their data because they were scared of their boss (a running theme in animorphs and one of my favorite bits because like yeah actually the idea that one of the stumbling blocks of a ruthless galactic empire would be internal dysfunction stemming from the megalomania of one of their highly ranked officers... absolutely tracks with actual reality). that's how i feel when people are like "can AI write a brilliant novel?"

#no it can't and in ten years it will seem stupid that people entertained this question seriously #maybe - MAYBE - AI can get to a point where it can put together a coherent longform narrative that people with low standards accept as a boo #*book #and certainly i do think that people will come up with ways to integrate AI into their own processes that might result in good shit #and ofc penny-pinching employers in all kinds of jobs will attempt to use AI to replace the labor of creative workers which sucks #but just on the question of 'will AI all by itself achieve artistic greatness?' no #it won't and the question is not worth expending five seconds of thought on

bruh the creep i had to romantically reject three times (four if you count her "lovesick ramblings" [direct quote]) in the span of not even a year and who called me a "jerk" and "insecure" for not wanting to long-distance e-date her unwarranted-evadaniil-porn-sending ass followed me after a year of no contact on the instagram i don't update, haven't posted on in a year, don't share any followers/following with her on, & that i only mentioned on this blog Once over 2 years ago. on Valentine's Day Eve out of all days. what in the maidenless behavior is this.

#i know for a fact you're not ~organically~ finding & following ~random~ french artists who post horses under 70 followers sister. #wanted to keep your eye on me on the account you thought i'd be the least likely to notice you on? #too much of an insecure jerk [for rejecting you] that you won't follow me on the myriad of accounts you know i'm active on & pretend like #nothing's happened; but nicey enough that you'll follow one where you think i'd be least likely to see you? #i know you combed my blog for multiple-years-old pictures of my face before; did you do it for this account's @ as well? #well if you're still on that creepy creeper grind maybe you'll see this message as well! learn to lurk better & maybe you won't get blocked #ps: maybe don't have your discord name + pfp be the same as your instagram's if you don't want me to immediately know who you are. #& if you wanted to rekindle; well; grow a pair & don't creep on the one acc i never mention. you won't find pictures of my face on it btw #neigh (blabbers) #stay_away_from_[ME]_get_a_job.png #incel & coquette Pick A Struggle girl. do not hmu ever again you creep.

Finally made a proper character page for my Lackadaisy OC! Maura Venza, please love and favor. :3

The art is based on Girl on a Ball by Pablo Picasso. When I tried to imagine a perfect allegory of the character dynamics between Mau and her father, that was the first thing that came to my mind. So here it is. Picasso, but with cats.

#id in alt text #lackadaisy #lackadaisy cats #lackadaisycats #lackadaisy oc #lackadaisyoc #lackadaisy ocs #maura venza oc #augusto venza oc #heldig arts #picasso #pablo picasso #art #drawing #yay i permanently got myself a graphic tablet :D #though that doesn't mean for 100% that i will draw more #i'm much more of a writer than an artist #but hmmmmm maybe maybe >:3 #p.s.: i hope my inner Repin won't wake up after a while

help, now that i have stopped tearing up at every mention of the series, the young royals forever documentary and the bts videos have brought my past obsession with film-making back-

#beware: rambling ahead!!! #so when i was in high school a secret dream of mine was to go to film school #because i was mesmerised by the whole process of writing and directing and everything the crew typically does during filming #and i was reading so much stuff about all the different angles and symbolism and the like #but of course my mother wouldn't let me #(very neil perry of me lmao) #and i mean i was trying to be realistic too #because i don't come from money and greece is not exactly a great place to be an artist #(since i wouldn't be able to go abroad and chase my dreams or something like that i am not the main character in a disney movie) #so like i threw this dream into the bin along with being an astronaut (i was bad at physics because no one ever explained anything to me- #-before last year of high school i still don't know how i technically aced my uni entering physics exam lol ANYWAY) #and don't get me wrong #i like the path i have chosen now (which was at the beginning at least also against my mother's wishes but she thinks it 'has money' so- #-she 'allowed it' as if- i won't say anything worse i'll regret later i'll just leave it be) #i like it very much because i can help people and maybe contribute to making this world a better place #i just... #i watched the documentary some days ago and it's all i can think about (along with the show of course) #like i LOVE the cast #but the crew is magnificent as well #what they create is like magic #anyway #young royals #filmmaking

he does look good on his knees 👀

#me thinking about which young x rush au should i imagine before i fall asleep #also thinking about buying another external hdd #but then i think about is it worth it?? #nobody cares about gifmakers and use our work however they like #even other artists #like fic writers who use my gifs to make their work more appealing when posting #like my fav artist who draws my fav couple posting my gifs on their twitter without credit and getting more attention than me here #then i could ever had here posting the rare couple. not posting them much lately. not my fav artist anymore unfollowed bye #one of my fav actors liking repost of my gifs on twitter :) and the thief was over the moon by that fact #ooooh the actor noticed them #cool #and i am not even talking about caos and star trek fandoms #so yeah... maybe i should not buy hdd #maybe i should not be spending so much money on something that is treated like that #might get back to drawing #have not done that for a long time #and then i won't have time for giffing at all and maybe that's for best #you can guess i am pissed off right #cos yet another day when my gifs are reposted somewhere #whatever im going to sleep and i will be thinking about young fucking this lil guy in exact that outfit cos... i can lmao bye
