When i first read this amazing fic on ao3 “over the treshold” by @fushiglow i immediately knew i wanted to at least draw this scene and one other scene that i will do later on

I hold this fic dear to my heart now and can’t wait to read the next chapters. Fushiglow, i hope you like my interpretation of this scene.

Went for greyscale in this cause I feel it fits the vibe well.

Here is briefly what the fic is about if you are interested in modern AU slowburn satosugu fics

“larger than life K-pop idol, Satoru, approaches introverted record producer, Getō Suguru, to collaborate on his debut Japanese-language studio album. They both get more out of the experience than expected — for better and for worse.”

Cultural Practice: Movie Aang’s Tattoos

Judging by some of the fanart I’ve seen, Aang’s elaborate Air Nomad tattoos are probably the only aspect of The Last Airbender movie that was positively received by the fandom.

The design of these tattoos were inspired by yantra tattoos from Southeast Asia. Yantra (यन्त्र) are sacred geometric designs utilized in many Indian religions. In Southeast Asia, yantra designs are paired with lines of Buddhist psalms, as the markings are believed to grant protection and good fortune to the recipient. These tattoos are traditionally done by monks with metal needles.

As a design concept, I think the decision to give Aang yantra-like tattoos was a clever touch. It’s a subtle way of telling the audience that the Air Nomads are similar to Buddhist monks. However, I must say that I’m not a big fan of the back tattoo. The design at the center of it looks more like a European alchemical sigil than a yantra and the cross imagery feels very out of place. But I will admit that the overall design still looks pretty cool.

If you’re interested in learning more about Yantra tattoos, known as Sak Yant (สักยันต์) in Thai, click here. If you ever wanted to write a scene or draw a comic detailing the process and cultural beliefs behind Air Nomad tattooing, Sak Yant tradition would be a good source of inspiration.

Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^

Tangentially related to some of the discussion i posted earlier but quiet literally the first RW Art Month i participated I did it completely on whim like, one day before it started. And I mostly did it because I hadn't drawn a ton of rain world and wanted to draw more. Fandom presence was a lot smaller than and I was one of a handful of artists who did the entire thing. Fast forward and I still do Art Month and I've gotten to work with VC directly. But it was quite literally something I decided to do completely on whim that set the ball rolling, and for something a lil more niche and certainly with a lot more dev/fandom art involvement than most. It's really random how and why you might get noticed more than usual, especially with the "toss it into the search and hope it pays out' mechanism of Socmed

#t.extpost #and im hardly the fanciest art month artist out there so it wasnt even about being a jaw droppingly talented artist or whatever #and while artmonth for rw is still given a huge focus its also a much much bigger thing now with a much bigger number of participants #which is cool! its awesome how many people i saw do most if not all of last art month! and VC is really good about not just repping the #most popular artists or fanciest pieces #but theres So Much More there now and while its great for finding artists its also impossible to get Everyone in there you know? #Although they absolutely try #And this is like. one of the most fanartist involved devs ive ever seen in terms of both celebrating the art their fans make and actively #bringing those fans in to contribute #and its /still/ hard to get going just because thats how Posting is #i used to be more of a hk artist which is both a huge fandom and riddled with stunning artists but theres So Many #and niche fandoms are niche so youre more likely to connect with people but less likely to see a ton of engagement regularly - #probably best example i have for that was being briefly fixated on patapon. #Its just messy to try and find the hack that sets you up #just have fun and jump around and make what you like #get a sense of feeling for your style and some people will stick around for that vs. strictly the subject matter #others will look up the thing you switched too and some wont engage #you cant really control it #so have fun and draw that thing you randomly thought about at 2 am that doesnt match your blog #draw for that forgotten rpg you liked when you were 15 or draw for the 70 player max steam game you played for this week #you never really know what will happen #but its not really worth worrying about what will happen either

DID SOMEBODY SAY PROJECT VOLTAGE TIER LIST...I just had to participate and make my own!!

Honestly I really like all the designs, I just feel that some of them are more well-executed than others? All the ones in the meh tier are good too they just feel too plain to me. You know me I like outfit designs with a LOT of detail and the colors/style are BORING

Also I've gotten too spoiled by fanmade Project Voltage designs that some of the canon ones pale in comparison to the fanmade ones,,

#Ground Miku is probably my favorite FAVORITE tho. #Idk why my brain just goes 'IT'S SAND PLANET MIKU' even tho they look nothing alike lol #Anyway yeah one of my favorite Pokemon artists did a Steel Miku with Bronzong that is SO SO SO FUCKING COOL #They also did a grass one with Ogerpon. And it's SO goddamn cute. #Fanartists are so talented. People who can perfectly replicate the Pokemon art style are so talented. #I'm actually VERY tempted to do a Project Voltage Miku with one of my fave mons #Piplup probably. Bc she's my trademark Pokemon. #Pokemon #Project Voltage #Shima speaks #Hatsune Miku #Vocaloid #Tier list

The fact that young people ACTUALLY still get jobs in places like the animation or film industry is astounding to me. I cannot imagine how a young person can get a job like that any other way aside from sheer luck.

#it is not about talent I know that for damn sure. If it was about talent every amazing fanartist I see on this site would be making bank

[hardly-an-escape]

having recently hurled myself headfirst into the Sandman/Dreamling side of tumblr, so far my favorite thing is when someone drops an amazing new fanart and I immediately see it sixteen times in a row because all my new fandom follows also all follow each other and the whole lot of us share about three braincells and one singular attention span

#in related news I am absolutely in awe of the Sandman fanartists out there #y’all are seriously so talented and you are doing god’s work #the sandman #dreamling #I can’t believe it’s 2022 and I am having this much fun in online fandom on tumblr dot com

THIS IS A SUBJECTIVE OPINION, MY SUBJECTIVE OPINION AS AN ARTIST AND CHARACTER DESIGNER. IT IS FINE IF WE DO NOT AGREE.

Ok you can continue

I'm sorry I need to be a hater for a second though it goes against my nature but hh has some of the absolute worst character and scenery design I have ever seen in my entire life and you have been tricked into thinking it is cool because it uses bright colours and bombastic shapes to cover the fact it's actually boring.

It's not bland, but it is boring.

Every single screenshot or gif I have seen makes me go crosseye'd, the characters blur into the background because there is no fucking proper saturation difference. I thought the new white and red cheeked character was literally just the first character but with a haircut and style change. Every single character has a copy-pasted shape there is no actual variation in body type or face shape outside of superficial changes. You have Triangle or Triangle with Tits.

You would have to tie me down clockwork orange style to get me to actually watch it. Maybe the story is good and the characters are cool or whatever! I don't know! I haven't watched it and you can't make me!

The characters apparently have aesthetics and theming but I honestly couldn't tell you what it was because there is so much going on in the designs that it's impossible to tell. One of the first rules of character design is that you should be able to get a feel for a character from the silhouette alone! But you can't do that here because their silhouette's are all so similar! The shape language for everyone is the fucking same! It's infuriating!!

I understand stylisation and personal choice but if you cannot draw diverse designs because it doesn't fit "your style" it is your failing as an artist and you are putting a limitation on yourself, it's like shooting your own foot!

I honestly think V would benefit from going back to basics and re-learning figure drawing and colour theory but from everything I've heard she can't handle any form of constructive criticism, which is once again like shooting yourself in the foot. Artists need to be able to take criticism and advice from other artists in order to grow, an artist that believes themselves above criticism is incapable of growth and will stagnate.

If you are an artist and have gotten this far I am begging you, remember to practice your silhouettes and don't blow off colour theory. Please... please learn about values [colour edition] if you don't your art will become a muddy messy and unless that is what you're going for you really don't want it to be like that

THIS IS MY SUBJECTIVE OPINION AS A TRAINED ARTIST, I HAVE A DEGREE, I AM ALLOWED TO CRITICIZE OTHER ARTISTS IT IS WHAT ARTISTS DO. BY PUBLISHING HER WORK V HAS PUT HERSELF IN THE PUBLIC FORUM AND THEREFORE IT IS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO EXPRESS MY OPINION. IF YOU DISAGREE THAT IS FINE, BUT THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR DEBATE.

#bird chatter #long post #i ain't tagging shit i already summoned enough snakes just writing this #Some of the fanartists for it are really good though like extremely talented #which is part of what boggles my mind because some of them are fucking better than the creator #hell MOST of them in my subjective opinion
