#practice is important

[riotgoblinworkshop]

This is a reminder to all the artists out there that if you want to get better hmyou have to actually make art. Ive spent the last yr dedicated to developing my own recognizable style of art. I don't think Im necessarily there yet, but im definitely getting there.

Here's my yr in art (well 10 photos over the span of the yr because Tumblr only lets you upload 10)

It's important to just make stuff for yourself sometimes. Experiment, make stuff that looks bad and weird. Learning color theory and composition is important, but nothing is as important as just DOING THE THING. It doesnt have to be a professional study every time you pick up the brush or pen, sometimes you can just scribble and play around.

Its okay to make art just to make art. No one HAS to see it but you if you dont want them to. Art doesn't have to he pretty. That's not the point of art, I promise.

splatoon twt just dropped this what the fuck?!?!!?!!!!!

#zeno's art #is what i would say if i was not a liar! #splatoon #splatoon 2 #splatoon 3 #agent 3 #agent 4 #agent 8 #neo agent 3 #this was just stylisation practice. inspos were the powerpuff girls clone high + psychonauts #i wont go into much detail about anything but the most important part for me was the head shapes #and just pushing stylisation up to 11. all in all im pretty proud #anyway if splatoon cartoon was real i think they should have a season for each agent where theyre juggling story mode business and inksports #and maybe have some episodes on idols and splatbands. guys omg wait what if i made a splatoon cartoon on my own? all i need is $500000 ish

Episode 7: Beignets!

I rewatched S2E2 of Helluva Boss ("Seeing Stars") and got hit with that BANGER of a line from Loona about dads having issues and messing up all the time but still caring. VIVZIE, I am sensing a THEMEEEEEEE.

And thank you for all the lovely comments thus far! I'm so tickled to see how many folks connect with this, whether you're from the American South or not. Food is such a core love language for so many people.

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Radioapple comic

PANEL 1: (Lucifer sits atop a barstool-like chair on his balcony at the hotel. He's curled up in on himself, quietly crying with his head in his arms as he slumps over the marble balustrade and his tail curled around his ankles.)

PANEL 2: (Alastor gently sets a large platter of fresh beignets next to Lucifer's arm, and Lucifer glances up, looking miserable.) Alastor: (offscreen) You're not a bad father, you know.

PANEL 3: (Alastor strikes a jazz-hands pose as a canned laugh track emanates from his cane.) Alastor: Granted, YES you did fail spectacularly! You fail A LOT. But...

PANEL 4: (Closeup of the lower half of Lucifer's face as more tears fall down his cheeks.) Alastor: (offscreen) ...you're consistently, SINCERELY trying. And that is incredibly important.

PANEL 5: (closeup of Alastor's right eye in profile) Alastor: It's certainly more than my father ever did.

PANEL 6: (Alastor reaches over and places a hand on Lucifer's, which is still clutching at his upper arm. Though we can't see Lucifer's face, he's sitting a little straighter, looking up at Alastor.) Alastor: (offscreen) Or yours, for that matter.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #tulu xuanwu #Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me. #The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.” #don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things. #We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play. #There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'. #The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice. #The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing) #A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard. #And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX - #LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together. #And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped) #But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone. #Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ. #It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing. #Finally. Sex scenes that are important to the plot and characters

if I asked very nicely would you all be willing to take a one minute anonymous survey for my linguistics class. if the answer is yes, please click here. thanks :)

(sharing for a better response size would also be very appreciated)

#linguistics #quil's unholy underworld #i have no clue how to tag this #it is quite literally 2 multiple choice questions #keeping it real simple #it's a required project in an intro class #we didn't even get to choose the topic #anyway #it's less important the results #it's intended to teach us the scientific method in practice #which I have done. like 5 times now in different classes it feels #i literally studied the demographic of the library by age an entire summer once #anyway. here's hoping this is worded and structured well enough to do what I need it to #take my survey boy #please

the implication that donna just became part of his life so quickly and so easily that he forgot to give her a tardis key because he believed he’d already done it makes me so ill

#doctor who #donna noble #tenth doctor #10th doctor #i’ve been binging doctor who confidential while at work it’s so great #doctor who confidential #also the way donna plays it off as do not important bc the world is choking while the doctor is trying to get all sentimental #practical queen i love her

I've been meaning to draw this for over a year

#it was my first thought after finding out duncan trussell voices ron james #which was right after watching midnight gospel and finding out pendleton ward worked on it #ron james is actually so important to me but im not gonna lie its 90% because duncan's voice calms me down #thats what you get when you listen to the dtfh podcast to fall asleep every night. i guess #mispelled draws #misp draws #i have been drawing a lot #and maybe normal people would use a queu or whatever but im not a normal people so we're posting as soon as im done drawing it lolll #also background practice with adventure time screenshots is so good #adventure time #adventure time fanart #the midnight gospel #the midnight gospel clancy #clancy gilroy #adventure time ron james #adventure time wizard cops #the midnight gospel fanart #crossover #duncan trussell

I think having a writing playlist is so important, if only because it trains your brain to get into the right headspace for your wip.

#daily writing prompts #fiction #writing #writing prompts #writing practice #writing inspiration #words #creative writing #character development #playlist #writblr #writebrl #writers on tumblr #there’s so many other reasons it’s important too #but this is the one speaking to me right now

luvcompass highlights: Surrender

･ ｡ﾟ☆: *. ♡ .* :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: *. ♡ .* :☆ﾟ.･･ ｡ﾟ☆: *. ♡ .* :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.♡ .* :☆ﾟ

We think that we are our mind/body (identity) and we try desperately to get away from "it" - that leads to questions like "How do I change my awareness?". By society, we're taught to make effort, try harder, do this, do that. But the funny thing is, what's required is "no" effort - the watercourse way - no effort from the side of the mind. Because "trying to change" is the equivalent of trying to fight a shadow. The identity is a shadow, it is not us. Analyze your mind briefly, and you will find that it is nothing but a byproduct of societal conditioning, peer opinions, books, movies, whatever content you've most willingly consumed. The mind is incessantly thinking 24/7, it never stops. It drags you into its each and every thought. It's not really you thinking, you are being thought. "I want to change my awareness" - who does? The mind? It is not even you. You merely believe it to be yourself, and let yourself get dragged away by the thought. How do we stop this? There's only one way: surrender. Stop fighting. You cannot fight a shadow, you will only look like a fool. When you surrender, you go beyond and you re-realize yourself. Surrender. Surrender to however you are, whatever state you are in. Surrender to whatever is going on, whether you believe it to be good or bad, it does not matter, because it is the mind putting these labels on it. Stop chasing, because there is nothing that you need to achieve. Not even awareness, because you already are. There is no need to "go beyond the mind" because you already are beyond it. Do not try to intellectually understand this, just accept it, because it is truth. Your blood is flowing now, but your mind is not controlling that. What is? Awareness. You are already aware. So leave it. You are perfect as you are, perfection, godliness, divine.

MDZS x Warrior Cats AU (part 1): That boy can meow!

Names and a huge inspiration credits to @clintbeefwoods!

(part 2)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #mdzs au #mdzs warrior cats au #wei wuxian #mo xuanyu #little apple #lan wangji #lan wunian #If you thought for a second I wouldn't find a way to keep littlewang in this au #then you have severely underestimated my horse yuri powers. #The start of the Warrior cats AU begins! Yes the clans are somewhat the same but the lore *has* shifted to better suit mdzs canon. #For one: Cross clan apprentice training is an option. Gusu school arc is still a school arc. #wwx would have a blast pouncing on lwj's Too Long Tail He Has Yet To Grow Into. #(Its very important to me that lwj/bluepaw has those kittenish big ears). #I will probably circle back to drawing teenxian apprentice antics after I get through the cast. #I had to put myself into a cat drawing boot camp for this AU (despite my sona being a cat I...actually don't really know how to draw one). #and I feel like I learned a lot + need a lot more practice...however this *is* the practice! It's for fun! #I'll be alternating comics and AU stuff this month! happy chatember! #Clintbeefwoods has put a ton of work into this AU and I am so excited to show it off!
