Golden Fleece

#my art #cotl #cotl lamb #blood #it was really fun to ponder this one #cause in the game sprite the body on the fleece has the scale-like texture but the hem is sharp like the standard fleece #i felt a 2 tiered piece would work nicely to show both of these contrasting elements #the sprite always makes me think of gold scale mail but i wanted to avoid it looking explicitly like armor #since the fleece gives you stacking atk damage in exchange of taking 2x damage when hit #although tbqh gold armor would be fucking pointless anyways. gold is a very soft metal. which may have been the point but w/e #instead i wanted the shapes to be more reminiscent of wool since like. yknow. the golden fleece #and i wanted it to speak of luxury and power but be rather impractical for movement or protection #i just wanted to do an axe for funsies and by wonderful coincidence remembered the godly axe was gold :] #anyways this pose is brought to you by my stupid ass who spun too hard with my upper body when swinging a bat and felt cool for 1 second #before totally unbalancing myself and falling #the instant after this image lambo eats shit. rest in peace

real quick vox redesign, not rlly a "fix" thing but just for funsies :7

#my art #aesterart #hazbin hotel #hh #vox #redesign #character design #tv head #hazbin hotel critical #< not rlly but tagging this cuz ik some ppl blacklist th tag for redesigns #made this in like 2 hours n prob could whip up a better design w/ more effort if i wanted #but i just wanted 2 get some basic ideas down ......... #i like the idea of vox having a tv show host kind of persona! would contrast nicely w/ alastor i think #and also wanted to give him a more boxy body shape #+ the warmer primary colors cuz thats what i associate w/ tv imagery in my head #idk

Rearranged my wall!! All the precious art that I’m proud of all ends up hidden away in a sketchbook or folder so the art on my wall ends up being my more mediocre pieces lol so I categorized some more stuff as ‘mediocre’ and cut them out to display 😅 second pic is my ‘speed test grading’ method lmao in which I check 10 tests at the same time so I’m not biased when checking specific students tests 😌

#studyblr #studyspo #notes #lol I’m so behind on posts #last week I was suuuuper busy #and this week the winter got me and I didn’t feel like posting #btw if u see any art w/ good contrast then it’s not mine lol it’s probably a print I hung on my wall #contrast is smth i struggle with #1k

7x10 // How Mac Got Fat

↳ Charlie & Dennis + getting high together

#iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #dennis reynolds #charlie kelly #charden #dennis looks....... positively lovestruck #ada's gifs #ada speaks #the continuity errors between shots in these scenes is so funny to me but i only noticed bc ive spent two hours on this gifset #anyway. in my expert opinion #this is far from the first time den's come to charlie like this #i can see this happening frequently in high school especially considering their drug of choice here is inhalants #x2 when know how charlie's relationship with them was in hs #the fact that dennis leaves his room to 'be alone' and then goes to paddy's to get high with charlie #to me indicates he doesn't *want* to be alone with his thoughts like this #when he's already overthinking and self conscious #i think contrasting this scene w mac & dee barging into his room earlier is interesting #because while mac & dee reacted with immediate disgust and asked what the fuck happened to his face #charlie's just like why is your face shiny. then repeatedly makes it clear he doesnt care about anything beyond the basics #ok cool. chemical peel caused it. no i don't want to hear why you decided to get one. #and honestly i think dennis was counting on that reaction. charlie doesn't give a shit. he's down to hang out and he doesn't ask questions. #they both want an immediate out from the pressure they both feel and most definitely do Not want to talk about it <3 #stuff it down with some.......... turpentine

There's something at the tip of my tongue about the parallels between Jackie and Wilson and Who We Are

How the narrator of Jackie and Wilson wants to run away with a woman that he's carved out of his imagination based on a brief interaction. How they would try the world, but good god it wasn't for them. So they run away from it into a fantasy world where they live by their own rules.

And then comes the narrator of Who We Are, who dreamt his whole life of finding someone who would hold him like water or like a knife, only to find that running away from the world will only get them so far, since "the hardest part is who we are". And only to find out that the "phantom life" he's fantasized about is actually just that: a phantom. And its absence sharpens like a knife

#hozier #sahar stfu about hozier #I'm aware that on the surface these songs are not really about the same thing #but there's something about the way that j&w narrator craves the fantasy he speaks of #that reminds me so much of the voice of Who We Are who thinks he realizes the fantasy only to watch it become a nightmare #and the contrast between the dream-fuelled lyrics of J&W that evoke daring adventures on the wide opened desert #and the sharp concise biting lyrics of who we are sung in tired resignation #and followed by near-wailing at the end #that just sticks out to me so much #it's like the whole of Unreal Unearth is just a sequence of the various voices of the self-titled album coming back #sometimes disillusioned #sometimes exhausted #sometimes resigned #sometimes wise #sometimes at peeace #sometime enraged #to sing about their most bitter disappointments and the harshest lessons they've learned over the years #and I can't stop thinking about it

Looking at @growingroses ' art isn't enough, I need to absorb every pixel. The closest thing to doing that is coloring their piece of the @zutaracoloringbook (which btw y'all should defo check it out, lots of talented people worked hard on this project 💋 )

#teehee #i colored their art before I did my own 🤩 #i just fell in LOB w their art I just couldn't help it #zutara #zutara coloring book #zk contrast 2023 #my friggin art #? #kinda #more like #half my friggin art

katara will see an elder, any elder, and be like “is anyone gonna respect them” and not wait for an answer. sokka could be like “katara they are literally stealing candy from babies right now,” but if they are above a certain age she does not care, in fact she is like “sokka how could you even say that!! the audacity!! that is a respected member of the community!!!!” like the closest she comes to realizing someone old sucks actually is with pakku, and even then she is inexplicably happy to find out that he’s gonna be her step-grandpa. meanwhile zuko sees literally any old person and is immediately like “ew i didn’t know raisins could talk”

#compare & contrast katara and zukos homophobia ableism and ageism stats 5 page essay double spaced due on friday #katara #zuko #sokka #pakku #no but it rly is so funny #how she likes and respects iroh for NO good reason #like toph likes iroh bc theyre genuinely buddies #aang likes iroh bc hes nice and charismatic and aang was asleep the whole time he was out there destroying the world. he doesnt know! #sokka is reasonably wary of iroh #but katara likes iroh even though she KNOWS who he is and what hes done #bc shes insane i guess. sad #probably bc kanna lectured her abt respecting her elders her entire childhood and it worked too well #sokka was already an obedient child so he didnt hear any of the lectures and just formed his own opinions #meanwhile katara is like 'oh man if i dont treat this war criminal w warmth and respect gran grans gonna beat my ass'

heres the original pic i took an hour to edit btw i hope it’s convincing at a glance

#loz #in photoshop i took a transparent pic of a blunt from google #posterize → filter gallery (cutout) → adding rimlight w/ stroke -> #duplicate layer turn off stroke above and erase top layer in certain places for lighting → #for jpeg artifacts add noise > uniform → noise > median just a little bit #and played with darks and lights #and then added the shadow under it #if you want to try something like this for yourself #i also auto normalized the base picture in all three things #tone contrast and color i think?

England headcanons (pt. 1):

Chain-smokes like a motherfucker. Alfred, who doesn't smoke and pretends very hard to think smoking is disgusting, hasn't yet realised where his secret smoking kink comes from.

Currently works for British Intelligence/has infiltrated his own government.

Carries around either a cane or umbrella that hides a sword even though he has never ONCE had to use it. He just feels more comfortable having a sword. (He does also carry around a gun, which, in contrast, has been used often.)

Also carries around his own pen, and absolutely loathes the thought of using someone else's. The pen is a first edition Michel Perchin Serpent in Champagne LE Fountain Pen given to him by Alfred - only ten were ever made and it cost a cool 8k. While Arthur has more valuable things - especially from his time as a pirate and back when he personally knew his royal family - the pen is still one of his most prized possessions.

His favourite tea is actually French Earl Grey - which is Earl Grey with rose petals. Not actually French? But Arthur's still pretty annoyed about it.

As mentioned in a few of my other posts - Arthur is incredibly physical and has kept up with sword fighting and various martial arts over the years, and regularly goes to the gym. He's very disciplined about it.

Tends to eat only for fuel as opposed to enjoyment whenever he's left to his own devices.

If pressed, Arthur will admit his best friend is Francis. Francis would say the same about Arthur.

(Despite their individual body counts, Francis and Arthur have never slept with each other.)

(Arthur doesn't have a lot of friends and has a strained relationship with his siblings, and has always felt that people don't like spending time with him. Even when he was on top of the world, working with his government to become an Empire, he still felt like an underdog.)

On that note, Arthur worked with his government longer than the other Nations, and was a huge part of establishing the British Empire. It made his already fraught relationship with his siblings even worse, and he regrets a lot of it.

Nations get scars very rarely, because very few things have the ability to give them scars - magical weapons is one of those things. Out of all the Nations, England has the most scars.

England is amazing at knitting and crochet, and he gifts Francis crocheted figurines from French cartoons for his birthday every year, which Francis adores. He also knits Canada scarves and gloves and beanies whenever he remembers him.

One of Arthur's most embarrassing memories is getting gonorrhea during his pirate days. He didn't have sex for a month after his healing kicked in - a record back then - and he became a lot more diligent in procuring and using the linen sheaths they used as condoms at the time.

Three of Arthur's back molars are implants made of real gold.

Alfred is the first (and last) person Arthur will say he's ever fallen in love with BUT the closest he's come is with another American - a nurse that took care of him during World War I. She was blonde and blue eyed and once shouted Arthur down when he insisted on continuing to fight even with a bullet lodged in his shoulder. She completely disappeared in April 1917, just before the Americans officially joined the war. He sometimes wonders what happened to her.

my beautiful wonderful morty oc who dies horribly for the plot <3

- angel gets her nickname from her dimension code … and bc shes oh so lovely ^_^ oh and bc she dies.

- hes super good at knowing what appeals to ricks and so tries to help the other citadel mortys (and notably emorty) to… act right. and hopefully keep their ricks. and not get hurt

- she gets lucky with her first rick being nicer than most… but his next rick is ur standard abusive rick. he ends up getting angel killed through carelessness or smth similar

- emortys closeness w angel is part of what endears him somewhat to morty prime later on. if anyone cares.

#more notes under the cutttt :] #rick and morty #morty smith #… can i use that tag for this or will i get attacked by wolves #morty oc #morty a-831 #artsbotz #YAYYYY MY BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL SON …… #ok ummm some more stuff i didnt wanna type up properly #designnn wise. ok this is a silly specific thing i decided on where mortys have their hair parted on the right. but emorty is on the left #like hes mirrorrrrred. and also silly right = good / left = evil symbolism #i loveee eye colour symbolism too w mortys (and ricks) … #i think most mortys are like an even mix of blue and brown eyes #but angel has blue specificallyyy to match morty prime. yahhhooooo #oh and emorty has brown to contrast them both … and to parallel c137… etc #the long hair is just for fun and gender reasons BUT the hair over the eye is supposed to symbolise like. emortys eyepatch #(and also the fact that she dies from getting shot in the head.) #the hairclip does smth similar. #oh speaking of. im not totally decided on how emorty gets the hairclip back #but current idea is he manages to bust into where they keep all the dead mortys #he seems to have a pretty extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the citadel even early on sooo. its just a matter of When and How #he learns different things #btw he keeps the hairclip forverr. takes it w him out of the curve and all #anyways ig the main concept behind angels relationship w emoty is like. she does everything perfectly. acts exactly how she needs to #and its still not enough. shes still victim to the vicious system of the citadel and is thrown away like garbage either way #i imagine emorty to be kinda disillusioned stright out the test tube lol .. but this is part of what solidifies his hatred for the system #AND. for Sellout Mortys. #ok i can barely think n read rn .

JUNE 2023 VS JUNE 2013

Decided to redraw a piece from ten years ago that was very important to me back then. Many things changed from that time, and it's always nice to have a look above your shoulder to see how far you've come ♥

The original:

Details under the cut

#ocs #the reaper #my art #it was strange drawing him again - it had been a while. I used to mostly draw him when I felt terrible as a way of venting #he was the expression and the personification and the relief from pain all at once #a bit funny for the anniversary to have been now when i've been a bit down in the dumps again. it was fitting hgbhb #anyway. it was nice to draw this old frienemy again #and revisit the old brain world #if you must get anything from this it's that you should always stay to one day be able to look back #and realize that it was worth sticking around #anyway. i don't like this piece as much as i wish i did - i'm not happy w the composition and contrast. but it shall do for this decade #can't wait to see how it will look in ten years #it's a nice goal i think
