Don't ask for context on this. I don't know. Maybe he is basking in the moonlight while he can.

#remus lupin #remus lupin fanart #marauders era #the marauders fanart #the marauders #marauders era fanart #marauders fanart #why is his hair different everytime i draw him lmfao #also im an actual idiot #it took me 3 hours to realize that he cannot in fact be a human at the same time as a full moon #so anyways i added the little black part to the moon #now its somewhat more lore accurate #but then i have more questions #hes not even allowed out! and why would he visit the tree when he doesnt need to #its okay it at least looks nice #just pretend this was all intentional

Behold, my latest and most enamouring new obsession:

Malina, Lady of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. As if Red Lotus child OCs weren’t niche enough

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #lok malina #still feel like that’s too vague of a tag but I can’t come up with anything better for now #and yeah. she has completely stolen by heart and I don’t know how to feel about that #don’t think I ever was this attracted to my own art before #to be fair the design isn’t mine. it’s very heavily based on something nina drew back in 2021 #because I did not have the energy or creativity to come up with my own thing #but the art is all mine and I genuinely adore it. super proud of myself which is a rare occurrence #anyways. kat and I spent three days digging this niche lower and lower and now have a he #*hell of a lot of lore about this basically nonexistent character #for lore about a lady from the North Pole a lot of it is rather hot… to the point my cheeks are burning non stop #I would say I’d let her do anything she wants to me but in my very specific aroace-adjacent case it’s more like #I’d let her tell me to do anything she wants to her #if that makes any sense and I have not completely lost my goddamn mind yet #okay. enough yapping. back to the art itself #lazy background because I suck at those and am not currently attempting to learn them. I’ll probably do that over the summer #about time anyway. my characters have been placed against an off-white background for far. far too long #this is the first piece in just over a year that isn’t tagged with sotrl. which is kinda weird tbh #I’ve been drawing my OCs almost exclusively for nearly 5 years so it is genuinely surprise I’m branching out #*surprising #less branching out and more diving from one hole into another but y’know #anyway. in my personal and very correct opinion she turned out absolutely gorgeous #her servants are way too lucky and unalaq is way too much of an idiot. no offence to vaatu but he could never beat out this #and I also have Kat’s personal and very correct opinion to back up my own. two against the void. once again we’re winning #I wanna draw her a lot more bc she has completely possessed my brain. I just wish character interactions were easier to draw 😭 #I’ll figure it out. just need to fight my visualisation issues for a proper idea. brb #okay I’m almost at the tag limit so. in summary: #she 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

"Today I will finish the concept art for this character and digitallize these 3 background sketches and the UI and if I have time left the start screen and my presentation" girl you spent the entire day fighting for your life trying to finish the base for the character. Sit down.

#AAAAAAAGGGGGGG IM SO BEHIND #im gonna make the backgrounds sketchy for now but i guess i will do them the next few days... #im concentrating on finishing this character sheet and the start screen today since its very simple #and hopefully i WILL do all the presentation and UI tomorrow... #my head hurts and im so tired but if i touch a bed again im never getting up. im tired all the time anyways #and if i stop working then i will just start thinking about the fact i have to do a presentation in front of +40 people and die #i really need to practice :( #also because im an idiot i want to draw ALL the slides instead of using google images. because i hate life #someone give me coffeeeeee and a energy drink whatever i need to wake the fuck up and concentrate #haunted.txt #at least Helena looks good but i cant help but second guess #also at least she doesnt have as many textures as Magali. i can rest a little #<- idiot that draws all textures by hand instead of using a template or smth #what bothers me more about the presentation is i want someone to practice with but :) i dont want anyone to laugh at me :) #im like this close to snapping

hiiii really enjoyed your chenglingposting i was thinking about how sometimes the kids in adult stories function as a sort of barometer for optimism about the future in their views and options in life... obviously the alliance wants to continue the cycle of antagonizing and vengeance and conflict with the veneer of "honor" but. zcl gets to choose not to. its been a while since I either read or watched, do you know if zcl was ever onboard with actually wanting vengeance or if that was just being pushed on him? Obv its not super in line w his personality but grief could be a factor. i just thought it'd make a lot of sense if he changed his mind on that due to the influence of wenzhou and how they prioritize enjoying life w your people and following your own path over expectations. priest really took one more chance to emphasize breaking cycles/"if it sucks hit the bricks"

hi!! omg!!! thank you and im glad you enjoyed it! honestly this is a question i have been thinking about since at least two rereads ago. the show and the novel are handling this issue of zcl picking up his legacy / giving in to external expectations / finding out what he really wants in life a little differently, i think, as befitting of what they both focus on. ive said in my chenglingpost that the show is about legacy and inheritance in my eyes, while the novel is about martial arts and freedom of choice. obvs freedom of choice is a high priority in word of honor as well, but word of honor seems to have an overarching look, kind of focusing on the big picture and what a generation / a community needs rather than a few individuals, while the novel focuses exclusively on wenzhou and their little group and seems to handle the rest of the themes in priest's usual style. the show is about something "grand", the novel is about the mundane, almost boring human experience. martial arts play a bigger role in the latter too because they are a stand-in for many things that are hard to grasp, like autonomy. in chengling's context, martial arts are irrevocably linked with seeking revenge. i think that is specifically in the novel the case, not so much in the show. in the show seeking revenge is pushed onto him by others as well as inheriting his sect's legacy and becoming worthy of being his father's son. in the novel, the idea of seeking revenge is first presented to him by gu xiang, and it is actually this huge contrast to how others treat him because others "generously" offer to take revenge for him, while gu xiang tells him he can do that himself. we see with wen kexing that getting revenge does not make u happy. it gives u closure but it does not make u happy. i think that is something chengling learns during the novel. he gets closure in the end but it does not look the way he had imagined it would. i think he imagined himself to get super strong and then single-handedly slay his foes. yknow, as u often see in wuxia and as wen kexing literally does. then he starts learning martial arts and realizes getting super strong is actually not that easy, and this chasm between what he expects of himself and what he is able to achieve gets wider and wider and he falls into depression spirals, because to chengling, seeking revenge was taking ownership of his life and his trauma, and what use does he have when he cant even do that? that is the path wen kexing walks and it hollowed him out and it would have him kill himself if he hadnt met zhou zishu; wen kexing viewed himself as an instrument for a very long time rather than as someone deserving of having his own life. so obvs, that path is rubbish by itself (wkx gets his revenge and his closure and his life, good for him!) and its far too much for a kid. and i think, that is what chengling learns here: he only needs to do as much as he can, only bite off what he can chew, and the rest should not be his concern. and there really turns out to be a way to get everything he needs without walking the same path as wen kexing, as the novel proves, because wen kexing had nobody when he was in the same situation while trying to survive the valley, while chengling has wenzhou who guide him and shield him and love him. (crying myself into a huddle over wen kexing and chengling and them being foils of each other.) so in that sense youre already putting it into words. chengling seems to have changed his mind over the course of the novel, he doesnt have that same outlook on vengeance as he as in the start. i think thats different for the show. in the show, there is this weighing of the concept of revenge against the concept of getting justice, and what both these things do and require of a person and what they can offer u as an individual, but also u as a collective, in the long run. they are seen as two different things and are explored and qestioned individually. i think that can be seen in the conflict with chengling and all these expectations everyone has of him and how he handles that.

#i cant say much more regarding the show rn. but i think it does something very similar to the novel #re: wen kexing and chengling getting their closure parallel to each other and being foils of each other #one walking a path the other doesnt have to or doesnt get to #chengling is kinda symbolically getting the kind of justice wkx would have deserved to and gets now through chengling #but for the show #their closure is not just holding the big bad accountable. its also the community effort of forging a better future together #aa this went off track. but i cant get into more detail re: chengling and vengeance for the show. still in my rewatch! #i hope this answers your question anyway!!!! #thank you for sending it to me i had a lot of fun! #i have a lot more to say but tumblr seems to impose a word limit on answering asks! >:( #something something martial arts are zzs's way of communication and he uses that rather than his words to give chengling what he needs #something something practising martial arts helps chengling discover the boundaries of his own body and reverts him back into a child #rather than the orphaned failure of a son who needs revenge to give himself meaning. like a tool. #something something martial arts is both chengling's cause of suffering and his tool of freeing himself #something something zzs knows for pretty much most of the novel that zcl has this grand potential inside him and simply ignores it #something something chengling's shifu (he has a shifu in the novel before zzs!) is an idiot who doesnt even see his disciple's potential #who blames chengling instead of reflecting upon himself (and how thats kinda like schools blaming neurodivergent and other kids for failing #and how zzs notices chengling's inert dormant potential / difficulty practically immediately and is probs uniquely qualified to teach him #drawing from his own experience with harsh teaching methods and surviving impossible tasks and breaking through body limits and difficultie #paired with being bamf at martial arts and probs having this vast pool of knowledge #something something zzs acting nasty but doing good (and nobody knows) and chengling turning out happier and more stable in the end #inbox #geneticcatalyst #tian ya ke #faraway wanderers #word of honor #meta #zhang chengling #zhou zishu #wen kexing

The reason why I designed Valantinez with those blood tendrils/ribbons in the first place is because I love vash the stampede billowing coattails images so much that I wanted to make up a guy who I can draw so I can do that stuff All The Time

#‘but if you drew 98/manga vash more you’d be able to do so many billowing coattails images though’ #you’re right! #I have no defense for this strawman I just made up btw! #I may have played myself just now! #but yeah I need to draw vash more #thing is I’m like. feeling like I’m kinda stagnating a tad? #if that’s the correct word? #like. everyone’s coming up with Cool Shit for him and I’m just like. #Oh God How Are People Doing That They’re All Coming Up With Sick Ass Shit And I Cannot Because All My Ideas Are Kinda Boring #because who gives a shit at all if I’m literally just drawing the guy literally just standing there for the zillionth time. #that’s Boring! #think of something cooler you idiot! #gah. sorry about that detour lmao

[baby-dollinkz]

yeah i don't think i'll be getting the computer i wanted lol.

#i don't want to constantly make a post emphasizing that i need money to keep drawing but i feel like it might be needed #nobody wants my art. at all. point blank. #i've been losing the motivation to draw because of this so like thats nice. thanks brain now i'll feel even more manipulative- #-than i already am for asking for money #why did i choose to open commissions so fucking late like the actual idiot i am #idc if i shouldn't do art just for attention or just for money but guess what. thats kind of something i need to be around #not letting this be able to be reblogged bc i realized this became a huge fucking vent #vent #because i realized thats what this entire shit was

The first thing I'll do when I get to have the time to draw again is redo the reference sheets...

(with potentially slight design changes)

#they bother me #I can do better than that #especially because the heads are mirrored because I'm a fucking idiot; occasionally #and there's also other things that bother me #I can do better now... man #also Ranaer and Ugtuna need a reference finally too #I can never decide which eye is supposed to be affected by the shadow; instinctively it's always the one that's not really. in focus? #which is bad #also I wanna give the old bastard a slight; slight redesign too #there's... a multitude of art that's reference sheet-ish about Ekito #I kinda didn't plan a lot and it's more like a big collection of drawings that showcase different things about them #which... I guess is still ok #they went through some changes as well already. not big ones #but I think the changes I did make are neat #these aren't finished #yet #eventually. eventually #what also bothers me; not only do I know how to make these references better; the current ones... well I kinda feel bad for anyone that #wants to make me fanart #I already had to clarify a dew things when one of my best friends tried to make me giftart because the sheets gave confusing information #and I died inside a little #back to studies...

Been reading a bunch of thrillers recently and what if cm fic with Penny as the main character just experiencing as much of that as my angst adverse heart can take? More on this when my brain allows it

#I'm thinking we get heck flirty Derek and Penelope #friends with feelings penemily #spencer/penelope besties #awkward Derek Spencer dynamic as they realise feelings because Derek flirts so heavily with Penelope and doesn't know how to flirt w/Spencer #and Penelope is watching this all happen like 'aw my sweet little idiots' #but at the same time she's becoming more and more unsettled by Events #and she's trying so hard to be cool about it #and they're working on a case (have been for a while bc it's slow and on the backburner) that starts to feel a little too #uncanny #a little too relatable #and now she feels like an idiot because she hasn't told the team and she should know better that's ao stupid of her #but when she goes to bring it up with anyone she feels like she's being silly and drawing their scary work into her daily life #and maybe she just needs to Chill Out #but also maybe she tells Emily and asks her to keep her fear secret bc she feels stupid and it's all probably fine #and Emily earns her trust by doing so #but at what cost? #god I want to read it and it's devastating I have to write it first
