#would do anything for a print of this

[moonsun2010]

our uni held an art jam, so i got to try my hand at painting! quite fun even if half the time was spent panicking over the values

#dracula #dracula daily #my art #note to self: dd2023 #cw eye contact #cw scopophobia #for my 1st time doing trad painting since childhood id say not bad #had to use that 3/4 bust lmao i cant handle anything more complex for this #yknow i never really understood why ppl would want prints until i spent like 15 mins straight staring at this in my hands. like ''oh.'' #this watercolour paper is crazy good it didnt even leak even with all the water and paint i heaved on it #re: dracula

literally burst out into elated laughter to find this is what this outfit has got going on under the coat (the details the costume designers put into this tho!!! the fucking -- rainbow lining that could very well never have been shown off on screen??? hello for god's sake hello who made you go this hard????)

#star trek #star trek ds9 #ds9 #quark #please understand that I love this ensemble of quark's more than almost anything in the world #for a while I thought he was doing a top buttons of his shirt undone thing under the necklace... thingamabob #(in some lighting the colour kind of matches his skin to me) #but then I realized that they would never have done that to the makeup department who suffer enough day to day already #we do know rom gets his clothes from garak I wonder if quark sometimes does too #I've always thought that the pattern of this was some sort of leopard print but no! #on close inspection it's something even weirder. delightful

Bittersweet fish 🌏💫

#fish #koi fish #yin and yang #sun and moon #ldr #long distance #long distance relationship #but also it can mean anything you think it means #friendships.. identity.. world dimensions #also um. sorry if theybdont look like koi fish irl #i went off of my soul (vibes and feelings) not a reference pixture #theyre some kind of fish thats for sure … #ebonytailsart #going to turn this into a fish #may even turn the fish into acrylic charms or stickers in the future because i love them #sadly the print will not be as intense as this #but thats bevause neon cyan is impossible to print so far. well. not impossible. but its Very Hard to capture with inks #so the final product IRL would be different #but until i have a physical store you get the pretty intense version #i love you. digital art. but the average printing world is not ready for you as much as we want it to be #this print will be A5..? 5.83 inches squared #god i hope it comes back looking alright #doing test prints rn #the fish. they are in love

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,

Anime:

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

Manga:

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

#silly hours #I do not understand this writing it's so bad aklsdlkasjd #Toei wants Goku to be Clark Kent SO bad and he SO isn't lmao #they're so good and dumb and rounded and complex in the manga what is the anime so afraid of #Toriyama said 'no no this man is a detached faux-immortal who has a dear pure heart but he's childlike and selfish even though he's kind' #and toei went 'got it goku's never done anything wrong ever in his life' #toriyama said 'Vegeta's gone through a lot and he's finally settling into his more mature leadership role with the confidence he's earned' #and toei said 'got it vegeta has the confidence of a high school bully except now he can interact with his family as a comedy bit' #girl hWHAT #Toei trying to group Goku and Vegeta as two people who would rather train than be with their families and Toriyama said NO Vegeta wants #to be HOME this is the first time in years that he's HAD ONE and it makes him HAPPY to be with his wife and children!! #Vegeta trains so that he can protect the things he doesn't want to lose again and Goku trains because it's the thing that makes him happies #They are NOT the same lmao And yeah Vegeta still wants to beat Goku but he also knows that Gohan could dogwalk both of them if he wanted #He also knows Trunks and Goten are going to surpass them it's not about being the best anymore he's past that he just wants to Not Need Gok #He just doesn't want to have to rely on Goku to save the day he wants to be Enough on his own he just wants to know he can be #because every time it's mattered he WASN'T and people he loved were lost to his inability to protect them and he carries that #Like Whis diagnosed him with anxiety and cptsd out in the open and Beerus said he was self-centered for feeling guilt #+ he lowkey enjoys the rivalry it keeps him goal-oriented so he can't get complacent and lazy which is what triggered his Buu Saga breakdow #realized how Fucked Up it was that having a home and loving family made him feel like he was failing and went 'wait no I won actually??' #now he's chill as fuck in the manga. cool confident leader. #and sometimes he is childish and dumb with Goku as a treat #you know what rocks about his rivalry with Goku in Super though is that it's Playful. Vegeta is learning how to Play. #You ever seen a shelter dog get introduced to a really playful dog and it takes a minute for the shelter dog to understand it's safe here #And then they're both running around the backyard playing hot potato with one braincell?? That's Goku and Vegeta's relationship #and the way the anime sleeps on that dynamic is so fucking criminal especially when it's literally canon it's in print it's out there #you had the playbook how'd you fumble it this bad #anyway that's my 25+ year blorbo thoughts I love Geets a lot okay #And I love Goku in the manga a lot I'd forgotten that he's actually a great character when Toei's not fucking up his whole vibe

day 26

someday if i can figure out how the hell people get these things made i would like to do some little destiny & malice acrylic charms. i think those are so fun. and while i mostly want them for Myself i figure that if i DID figure out the process, i should maybe open up the option to anyone else that might want them, soooo...

informal poll: if i figure out how all that works, would any of y'all be into that, and approximately how many of you?

#day 26 #year 5 #my ocs #destiny chainsaw #malice winterfang #i know i've said i don't really like the idea of commissions and this isnt like a PROMISE or anything #i still have a lot of research to do before i commit to a shop of any kind #BUT. i think like a redbubble or something in that vein might be a manageable project #i mention stickers specifically because that seems like a very manageable thing to produce and ship even if i didnt go through like #a service to do so #particularly because i dont think id get a TON of orders for my niche OCs lol #but if i got some practice with something small like this it MIIIIGHT help me build up to making things for a larger market like... #say... well you know what i'm about over here lmao #we've basically all but gotten the official blessings of the powers that be to make homestuck merch without fear of reprisal at this point #ANYWAY that would be a ways off and be a much MUCH bigger project both artistically and in terms of like #me learning how Online Commerce works from the seller end. #BUT I HAVE BEEN CONSIDERING IT. and it seems to me that it would at least be relatively simple to sell like. prints of old art maybe #i dunno! like i said i'll see how the poll shakes out while i do a bit more research

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

[brown-little-robin]

AUGH

#Robin processes emotions on main #so for my honors project I HAVE to print out copies of my poetry chapbook. and I HAVE to do it with the Official Campus Print System. #and the Official Campus Print System only prints things that are made using PROPRIETARY DESIGN SOFTWARE #that not ONLY would I have to pay multiple tens of dollars a month for #it isn't even compatible with my computer apparently. #WHAT IF I JUST DROPPED OUT OF THE HONORS PROGRAM RIGHT NOW. WHAT THEN. WHAT WOULD THEY DO ABOUT IT #SIIIIIIIIGH #I hate not knowing what I'm doing!!! #I don't usually get angry at anything but this is making me angry because it's so POINTLESS #just let me print my stupid poetry book in PEACE 😭 I'd even bind it myself if I had to!!! #I would actually be seriously considering dropping out of honors right now except for 3 things #1) I do want to finish writing this chapbook. I do want to physically produce it (though I'm frustrated with the requirements for that). #2) I'm working with my favorite professor on this project and I don't want to give up that experience #and 3) if I lost these 2 credits it would mean I'd have to take a whole nother semester of a summer class. and pay for it. yikes.

Help, I got a silly idea

#i dont even remember what i was doing #i was just suddenly hit with the epiphany of viktuuri calling their kids little victories #and then i couldnt not draw it #they are so silly i love them #poor yurio has to deal with their crap #im so glad i dont have to finish this because that leopard print would end me #why do you have such tedious taste yurio #im sorry i cant stop staring at viktor #is there anything as precious as a pure unhindered vitya smile? #the answer is no #arom antix art #art #comic #sketch #yuri on ice #yoi #yuri on ice fanart #yoi fanart #viktor nikiforov #yuri plisetsky #otabek altin #fanart #wait no i just realised i drew viktors hair mirrored #uuuuuuuuh just unflip in in your head i believe in you #sorry to those with aphantasia #arom antix

I made a collection of some of my favorite comics to print & sold them at a zine fest I did this weekend :) Here are the front and back covers

#i definitely want to make more of these and do more zine fests in the future and hopefully a con one day too when i make more prints n comic #im not sure if people would be interested in buying a collection in print because these are available online but. if you would be maybe #drop a comment or something? i dont have a store or anything yet but. idk if there was interest i could do this #i sold physical copies of lightbringer too and fingers crossed i will make enough new comic to do another collection soon! #i also want to make a little zine of daily comics. and finish my starship comic too. much to do #comic #comics #art #adhd comics

[lemongogo]

haiii as a frequent con-goer my observations are: ppl tend to get posters or pins/keychains more than stickers, since sticker boards r more rare than like ita bags or drcorating ur room.

bnha hasnt rly been present in cons recently, so dont feel like you Have To BUT. if you do genuinely want to sell that stuff, it wld probs fill a niche that the people who DO want to see it will be excited for since theres probs not alot of other booths with it

depending on how far away the con is, dunmeshi will probs be rly popular since its the biggest new thing. sometimes theres a gap of if smthn big comes out too close to a con no one has time to make merch yet, but if you think you have time and want to itll probs be rly popular.

all of this is as u said based on my personal experiences and ive only been to the cons in my state, and NOT as an artist so idk if boothers have other advice or inputs but! :) i hope it helps

YESS THIS IS SO HELPFUL TY TYY🫶 ive been out of the loop for some time now, so this is great @ filling in the gaps. i appreciate you taking the time to lmk your thoughts :”)

like you make such a good point ab the sticker boardsHAHAHA sweeet. i’ll probably be better off focusing on the big3 anyways (pins, posters and charms) and add variety later on once i feel more established

and wooo!! ok thats what i was thinking wrt to dunmesh :3 it might be fun to draw a thing or two once i finish the season then hehe THANK YOUU !! 🤭 ill keep all of this in mind

#in trying to research all of this i often hear from the boothers themselves #so hearing your perspective is so valuable TYSMM!!🫶 #asktag #anonymous #there was more i wanted to say but it slipped my mind😭 RGAAAAomg what was it #i think like . just your general experience and if theres anything ab booths that you feel could be done better from a congoers experience #but i dont even know what that would be like .. i read that most people have moved to digital transactions right #like square or some other form of card reader w ofc cash on hand if anyone prefers that #<thinking out loud at this point #do you think the print backdrops are sufficient or do you also like to flip through books @ the table w the prints etc #HAJAHAH sry

[frodo-of-the-nine-fingers]

the good thing about writing fic you know you won't post is that you can 1) exercise the demons 2) spell bad 3) grammar bad 4) that is not a fucking sentence 5) be weird about it 6) no pressure to finish it. the bad thing about writing fic that you know you won't post is that no one is gonna tell you they liked it

#it's also like sunk-cost fallacy vs retaining my sanity #idk i think ive also achieved most of what i wanted to achieve w fic writing?? #like.the only 2 things left are have something hit.over 5k kudos but.that would also stress me out so.much so probably not a good idea lmao #and then also write something long enough to be printed and bound so like ahhhh #but i also #have so many other hobbies and things to do and it's not like im not writing anything at all this way idk

[plushie-lovey]

If there was an abundance of plushies and memorabilia surrounding one of your favorite underrated animals/pokemon/creatures/whatever, what would you be collecting?

#stuffed animals #plushies #plushblr #for me it would be the pokemon Stufful! #I've talked about it before but there's just not enough stuff out related to Stufful #I want anything and everything to do with it #plushies. hats. slippers. socks. bags. pjs. figures. keychains. buttons. pins. cards. art prints. literally everything #sadly bewear has more merch than stufful which is a shame #anyways what is your favorite underrated creature?
