I PEEKED IN MY DRAFTS AND REALIZED I HADN'T pOSTED THIS-

A bunch of Sayus for the soul! i don't do fanart very often, but there's something about it that makes you notice and appreciate small details in the character design

#bread art #nsr #no straight roads #nsr fanart #nsr sayu #for example her primary colors are cyan magenta yellow #which is the color wheel of traditional print media (purely digital colors are RGB)- an interesting choice of palette

A Tissaia portrait to go with the Yennefer portrait from the other day

#sometimes i draw things #tissaia de vries #the witcher #digital art #i thought hmm yen looks lonely #you can tell a lot about a woman just by looking at her hand #for example if she's gathering a lightning ball the size of a football. you are about to be rotisserie. run #honestly cannot wait until i can print the portrait pair

not to talk about Star Wars on main and I'd fight Dave Filoni in a Waffle House parking lot as much as the next burned out former Star Wars fan, but also it is so funny to me when people blame Dave for stuff in TCW that comes directly from George Lucas. Ahsoka being Anakin's padawan was George Lucas's decision, not Dave Filoni's.

from The Art of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which I realize has been out of print for a good long while now.

text: A teenage Togruta Padawan, Ahsoka Tano was a completely new character. "Ahsoka came out of an earlier idea for the series when I didn't think we were going to have Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in it," says Filoni. "Henry [Gilroy] and I came up with a concept about two Jedi, a Master and a Padawan, assigned to the black market."

Though they jettisoned the concept once Lucas made it clear that the series would feature Skywalker and Kenobi, Gilroy and Filoni stuck with the idea of a girl Padawan. "Dave and I figured that Anakin was a Jedi Knight very early in the war, so we thought it would be interesting if we gave Obi-Wan a replacement Padawan," recalls Gilroy. "But George wanted her to be Anakin's Padawan."

"We added the idea of a Padawan so that we wouldn't be stuck in the same relationship dynamic between Anakin and Obi-Wan," says Lucas. "This is a way of explaining Anakin's rise to being a full-fledged Jedi, and at the same time the growing relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan as friends, as equals. In order to do that, we needed someone to take on the role of the younger person who is being taught in these stories."

"We were as surprised as anyone that Anakin had a Padawan," laughs Filoni, who got the task of figuring out how to work a major new character into the Star Wars saga. Filoni and Gilroy developed her character as a mix between Anakin's brashness and Obi-Wan's measured judgment, reflecting the shift between the Republic and the oncoming Empire.

"Anakin is in favor of a stricter type of government. Obi-Wan represents the Old Republic," explains Filoni. "Ahsoka's in between them, looking back at what was, looking forward to what might be."

#also I have the special edition of this book which is apparently worth OVER TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS????? #I've got the regular edition back home which is still worth several hundred because it's out of print #I think it's always good to look back at original intentions #for example I got the avengers art book recently and hoo boy they did not know the tesseract was an infinity stone back then #but honestly they did a great job retconning that in #bedlam watches star wars

The Motion Picture Production Code (colloquially known as the Hays Code) circa 1956 vs Tumblr Fandom Police circa 2023

Spot the difference!

#proship #anti censorship #hays code #i wanted to add more examples of antis basically saying thought crimes are real #but tbh my folder of screenshots is soooo looonnggg and i have better things to do #feel free to add more examples in the reblogs tho :) #history is a straight line etc etc #also i know the hays code is from the 30s but this specific screenshot is of a printed copy of it from 1956

Some people do kinda suck but I find a lot of joy in giving people really specifics compliments at my job and it makes their whole day sometimes c: 💛

#I had a very enthusiastic conversation about a lady’s hair and the way it was cut #she cut it herself! #I often like to tell some women that their purse is very nice and they’re usually very proud of their purses I’ve found #I will tell some people sometimes that the color of their shirt is so fitting for their skin tone and was a great choice that day #I expressed once to a customer that I loved the prints of his shirts and he came by one day in this one particular shirt #hoping I’d be there apparently because he wanted me to see the shirt because I love his style! #it’s so nice #I had a lady blushing once from head to toe because I said she looks like the perfect example of a woman #that face every artist draws for that reference #she was so beautiful #haha I like compliments on men’s facial hair too! #they’re proud of their facial hair a lot of the time #even soemthing as simple as they look amazing for their age which I’ve said many many times #like I said some people suck and I have yet to truly meet the bad eggs but man I just really like seeing them light up #when you compliment the littlest things they put hardly any effort into and think maybe nobody will even notice #I like pointing out those things

i feel it's so fucking stupid and ungrateful but it still hurts a little when someone gifts me something i just don't like. i don't know. i know it's dumb and inaccurate to astrain that much meaning to a simple gift, but it feels kinda like they don't know me. i guess it feels like people don't see me, like a reminder that the person i reflect and the person i feel like are incredibly different.

#two fairly recent examples jump to mind #last year my class did a secret santa #the guy who got my name barely knew me so instead he asked our litterature teacher for tips #i was doing an effort to participate a lot in her classes and discuss stuff and i felt like she was an adult i could really trust #and adult who Gets It #and she picked just. the wrong gift. a classical philosophy essay. #stuff i hate reading. stuff i hate thinking about. #i said thank you to both of them and tried to read it during christmas break still. but i was right. i hated it. #and this year's christmas #recently i tried patching things up with my parents and we are a lot more communicative now #so they've opened up that my demand not to receive any gifts was painful to them #so we had an agreement: we write open-hearted letters to each other on christmas. #and they can gift me something if they'd like but no pressure if they don't find anything they feel would be a good gift #bc i myself opened up about the whole ''inaccurate gift'' thing being one of the reasons i dislike receiving stuff #and guess what. christmas comes. they got me a printed card from an artist whose work we saw at a local art thing earlier that year. #that artist does mainly either plants or nice architecture. stuff i love. #they picked the ONE work of hers that doesn't look like that. some reinterpretation of the great wave of kanagawa #a piece which i dislike with a passion for aesthetic reasons #i had promised i'd be honest if their gift missed the mark but tbh i couldn't. it's just an aesthetic thing it's completely begnin. #it's not like they spent lots or tried to pick something that was USEFUL #so i smiled and the picture is hanging with other stuff in my room #and i thanked them and i can't express how genuinely glad i am we have a better relationship #but man i felt my heart break a little under the tree in that moment #idk #i know it's silly but it makes me feel weird. and cold. #broadcasting my misery #vent

do you sell prints?? I'm so so sorry if you already answered this

Nope, at least not so far. First I had contractual obligations that blocked me from doing so, and then after I got laid off I was restricted from side incomes as I was on unemployment. Now however I'm a week in at a new workplace (yay! No longer unemployed) and I actually negotiated so now I am in fact able to sell prints etc. So it's a possibility! All the things regarding taxes etc is a pain however, so I'm just gonna settle into my new position first and then look it over for real.

#replies #I'm quite interested in making prints specifically #Though since I want to stay on the legal side of things I would probably not be able to sell the classic “fan art” type of prints #So no Richard Armitage Thorin prints for example #anyways we'll see #anon ask

[skunkes]

finallyyyy found a phrase i want to make a relief print out of but im bad at composition and symbolism and creation in general

#talkys #the Symbols is usually why i struggle ig #or like association #for example id LOVE to make talon and al prints but like #well i dont associate talon with anything yet #i do associate al with some things? but nothing cohesive enough to cobble into a full unified piece #this is why i always talk about not being a real artist like theres really no Heart or Soul its all just #technical. very reflective of the creator i guess #hard to make art when you have no experiences to draw from.

people who extoll the values of media piracy always and Only talk about things that are out of print legally and streaming-only shows that are liable to be removed at any moment, and acting like this is why piracy is Good and Important. This is true! This is always valuable!

And then they act like this is the exact same situation as pirating from book authors and indie game creators who are actively offering their work for sale in a way that benefits a small-time creator.

and then they act like you’re stupid for saying the second kind is not the same thing at all as the first, actually.

#Hot tip: it is not the same thing at all #And pirating from a book author because you. for example. don’t feel like pledging to her Patreon. #Is Bad #and I stand by this #I do not consider obtaining copies of out-of-print things piracy at all! #That’s just archiving #However there is a big huge difference in stealing from Disney #And stealing from an indie author because you don’t want to pay $2.99 for their ebook #But think you deserve to read their thing anyway because they don’t deserve to keep it from you for so petty a reason as #‘deserve to be able to pay their bills with their work’

i think there's probably something to be said about like. how a concerning amount of your own rights and life are locked behind red tape and prerequisite knowing how to do something "official" and how legal situations work and everything. as well as how technology is being integrated into it all. bc fundamentally a lot of people just will not be able to do these things without help and they don't know how to get that help and the members of ur community that are vulnerable to this like i don't know the disabled the elderly people whose first languages aren't english even just quote unquote "the uneducated" or those who struggled to get an education for any reason are all just CONSTANTLY being fucked bc the formula is locked away and those who put it in place just go "well you should have known". like how could you know what you DON'T KNOW. and these aren't a small percentage of people like i'd say it's literally just. laymen. people you know.

#🐾 #like for example my dad got served a small claims amount for like i think 3k #which he can't afford obviously and there's this whole like personal situation aspect to it #but he missed the hearing because they told him they'd call but really they meant they'd send a fucking #google meeting invite to his gmail account (that he doesn't use) which he'd then have to know how to set up #and now after the fact he's trying to submit different forms to reopen the case and he said like #how are they going to hold it against me that i'm not brainy enough to understand the steps to take #and he's RIGHT it's LITERALLY not fair like yeah if i'd known i would've helped him but if it's not fair that he'd have to rely on someone #else. these people should be taking the fucking initiative and doing what they're meant to do and TELLING PEOPLE how to do things #not telling a 64 year old man who doesn't have good english to find and print pdfs and shit #which sounds really simple sure but it's just like. the entire process is ridiculous. AND IRS FRUSTRATING #like there's hundreds of thousands of ppl just being taken advantage of bc they don't know processes to follow it's ridiculous

If I see this:

called a drawing of the Ainu folklore creature at kor kamuy/akkorokamui/アッコロカムイ one more time I'm going to go insane

This is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige III and it's titled "The giant octopus of Namekawa in Etchū Province" （越中滑川大章魚之図） as part of the series "Products of Greater Japan" （大日本物産図会）which features the production processes of regional specialities (at least according to the Chiba Prefectural Central Museum, who possesses 32 of them!)

Etchū is the old name for Toyama Prefecture, which is located here

As you can see, this is nowhere near Hokkaido.

And I get it, giant octopus folklore is cool! It's part of why I was looking into it too. But it feels disingenuous to act like this print that is very distinctly and intentionally set in the central region of Japan is supposed to be a representation of Ainu folklore.

#tbf its not only foreigners doing this as I came across an example in japanese too #it just irks me #if theres an actual ainu folklore connection to this print i have yet to find it #but hey if anyone knows of anything please tell me i would love to be wrong #japanese art

i think the best genre of image is "creatures trapped in starbucks cups with receipts reading [cup of water (no water, no ice, creature)]"

#bugs #the stupid wasp cup isnt really an example of the same thing but it's also a good image #starbucks employees are you like. required to print a receipt for every single cup you use #are your managers hovering over your receipts and remaining cups and going 'somebody got a free cup! someone should be fired for this' #because that sounds realistic under capitalism

I organised my sketch-books and art books I am so happy.

One for sketching whatever all of them ugly.

One for studying with only pencil

One for studying only for ink

One for studying with colour pencils and markers

And all other books are for finished art not for sketching and I am tearing them after I am finished and putting them into different folders or wherever. Easy to categorise that way because I can always change it. And if the sketch is so good it also gets torn and goes to near other art pieces.

#digital art organising is easier obviously they are all in files #and i scan when i want my physical art in digital for example when its about my worldbuilding projects #but i dont print digital art #anyways i think i figured it out i was going crazy almost #rantart

Next to the titanic struggles of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, which saw a revolution in the scale and intensity of warfare, the War of 1812 has largely been forgotten in the United Kingdom, and even in the United States. What remains of popular memory, and indeed some of the historiography of the conflict, focuses on what each side wanted to remember.

— Nicholas James Kaizer, Revenge in the Name of Honour: The Royal Navy's Quest for Vengeance in the Single Ship Actions of the War of 1812

#War of 1812 Wednesday #war of 1812 #military history #historical memory #historiography #revenge in the name of honour #i have a lot of thoughts about this #nowadays it's mostly canadians who care about the war of 1812 #but there is this huge amount of usamerican mythology built around it #and 19th century paintings and prints are overwhelmingly from the american perspective #making national heroes and creating an embellished narrative #i stuggle to find for example naval battle paintings #that aren't endlessly 'uss constitution wins again'
