Rasai-Lei ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

The mother-hen of the group & also their leader. He has space/time powers (so pretty OP, but they are single-use). He doesn't like exposing skin; so modesty is his middle-name!

I've always had a soft-spot for Lei. I might post older pics to show how he's changed over the years but old artwork is cringey... >.>;

Tried colouring in greyscale before painting over with colours - unsure if it helped...?

Speedpaint - goes to show it started off so amazingly ugly... lolol Glad I didn't give up. Almost did when I finished the draft because I suddenly hated it?? Went ahead with lineart anyway and luckily stopped hating it ^^;

Fanart of Hotaru for Erikorii! I know the pose isn't very original... But hey I finished quicker than I expected because I've been off work recovering from some random viral thing! 😅

Was inspired because of how much Ren obviously cares about their character - and just their style in general. :3 -Really motivated me to draw Hotaru. I hope I did him justice 🥰

Fixed the ears, but they still seem wrong somehow...? I'll post the speedpaint next! Uhh unsure how much detail is obvious here, but I went waaaay overboard with the button detailing and realised no one would see it HAHAHA >.>;

(NB New signature /pen name - Æ "Ashe" - a defunct letter of the alphabet seems very on-brand for me LOL / aka 'ArtfullyEccentric')

Used CSP pro 5 & Wacom Cintiq - time taken: a mystery...

The Tiger-like Fox - Kitora

To say this picture took me a while to finish would be understatement of the year =_=; First sketch was the 2016 version, then 2018 version, 2019, & finally - 2026! Still not happy with the foxes but at this point I have lost the motivation to fix what I don't like >.>; Interesting how much his face/expression changed since 2016. So pleased I pulled off a background!! =]

Used Clip Studio Paint 5 & my Wacom Cintiq.

having to use your own art as reference cause you forgot how to draw

psydragon

having to go back to reread previous chapters of your own story as a reference because you forgot how to write

sugarpoultry

Both incredibly accurate.

I really empathise with Dohu so I really wanted to draw him! <3 (Also helps me through how frustrating Season 3 has been so far =_=;) I just need my bby to be happy - c'mon Hodot, we don't want to see him sad anymore...! As an aside, it's literally been 10 years since I last drew any art - so go me I guess. haha (Or is it going to be another 10 years...?) :P

The 2012 sketch VS the re-draw/completed 2026 version! I'm going back and re-drawing old sketches & pictures of mine from 10+ years ago. Really not sure why I didn't finish some of these...! But considering it's been an 8-year hiatus I'm pretty rusty. The amount of times I re-drew lines & used 'free transform' tool is just woeful >.>

Kura & Rena from an old story I wrote. He's a Death God of sorts, and she's kinda the tag-along for 'reasons'. :P Yes he has blue blood (lol I almost forgot that while I was colouring!)

Drawn with an Wacom Cintiq & CSP. Unsure how long it took...? But hoping to be bothered enough to upload speedpaints ^^;

I’m really fucking happy

So 3 years ago I drew this

I stumbled onto a person’s YouTube channel

https://www.youtube.com/user/ShotsOfLoL

I saw my art being used for an Icon, I was little iffy on not being told so I sent them a message on Twitter

I never expected this but then

He sent me $100!

This man is my hero.

I hate when men smirk and gloat and say shit like “Women are attracted to powerful men,” like that negates any feminist impulse, like they think that at the heart of all women is this little, mincing girl that wants to be dominated.

I just roll my eyes because, dude. If you ever read the second half of any fucking harlequin novel ever, and saw how the hero always ends up blubbering on his knees and saying shit like “I can’t live without you! You unman me!” you’d realize that being attracted to powerful men is just the first part of a two-step plan.

The second step is to completely fucking annihilate him.

halfhardtorock

Apparently this is the most important thing I’ll ever say.

*clears throat* Allow me to quote Jayne Ann Krentz: “In the romance novels … the woman always wins. With courage, intelligence, and gentleness she brings the most dangerous creature on earth, the human male, to his knees. More than that, she forces him to acknowledge her power as a woman.” (“Introduction” from Dangerous Men and Adventurous Women: Romance Writers on the Appeal of Romance.) The romance hero may start as a total alphahole, but by the end of the novel, as stated above, HE HAS TO CHANGE. He needs to become respectful and treat the heroine as an equal partner, otherwise it won’t work. This is why Elizabeth Bennet refuses Mr Darcy the first time but accepts him later. This is what so many people miss. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this post.

Utterly gorgeous - your art and process never fail to inspire <3 <3 xoxoxo *Mwaa*

So I had the best idea for a date. A SWEATER SHOPPING DATE.

First you get coffee. Then you go to thrift shops and buy sweaters. Then you bring the sweaters home and wash them. While they are in the washer/dryer, you make out and stuff. Then, you take the sweaters out of the dryer and you put them on and you get all cozy and eat snacks and watch movies in your cozy clean sweaters! And you kiss a lot. The end.

Amazing

Reblog if you are 100% okay with a transgender person correcting you if you accidentally misgender them or use their dead name.

First of all, saying that there’s no way is ignorant because there IS a way to fix it, if only people knew about it publicly and breed clubs embraced it.

These are called Retro Mops (website here), and they’re pugs bred specifically to be longer-legged, leaner, with smaller eyes, longer muzzles, and more open nostrils. And while the project is still a work in progress, it’s heading in the right direction.

This new breed type started in Germany, and developed from the selective breeding of purebred pugs with longer muzzles and a longer legged frame.

From the website:

“We want to prove that a pug does not have to be short of breath and phlegmatic, but a very sporty and docile family and companion dog”

And there’s also the Old English Bulldog, which is a muscular and athletic bulldog that can actually clean itself, mate, and give birth on its own (something that mainstream Bulldogs cannot do)

This should be the goal of EVERY pug breeder and owner, to have a healthy dog that doesn’t struggle to breathe and walk.

I’m sure you’re a pug or bulldog lover, which is why you’re so eager to defend them, but you’re not helping these dogs out by ignoring the problems in the breed. This is not a “little problem”, it’s a HUGE issue that’s killing dogs, and it’s prefectly preventable if pugs were outcrossed to have longer muzzles and wider nostrils.

Just look at the difference and tell me you’re not horrified:

As long as people stay blind to these issues, nothing will change. Which is why I’m saying this here so at least some people will see that there IS an alternative, and that wheezing pugs and bulldogs are not cute. When the public realizes the difference, the demand for these mutants will stop and more healthy, longer-lived alternatives will replace them.

But it starts with someone talking about them, and not just thinking there’s nothing to be done. Although if there were a time machine at my disposal you bet I’d use to pinch the nostrils of the original Victorian breeders and see how they like it.

Help the pugs yall

kinoscribbles

Finally a post that summarizes why pugs make me so uneasy… They really are lovely dogs with great personalities, but these health issues can’t be ignored.

artfullyeccentric

I believe this should be the future of breeding SO MUCH. I have friends who love Pugs and friends who love Bulldogs - both love them to death - but I can’t help feeling like things should be different. They look so much better with more snoot to boop!

Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.

bemusedlybespectacled

Why can’t we have a movie about him?

He was often called “Sempo”, an alternative reading of the characters of his first name, as that was easier for Westerners to pronounce.

His wife, Yukiko, was also a part of this; she is often credited with suggesting the plan. The Sugihara family was held in a Soviet POW camp for 18 months until the end of the war; within a year of returning home, Sugihara was asked to resign - officially due to downsizing, but most likely because the government disagreed with his actions.

He didn’t simply grant visas - he granted visas against direct orders, after attempting three times to receive permission from the Japanese Foreign Ministry and being turned down each time. He did not “misread” orders; he was in direct violation of them, with the encouragement and support of his wife.

He was honoured as Righteous Among the Nations in 1985, a year before he died in Kamakura; he and his descendants have also been granted permanent Israeli citizenship. He was also posthumously awarded the Life Saving Cross of Lithuania (1993); Commander’s Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1996); and the Commander’s Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2007). Though not canonized, some Eastern Orthodox Christians recognize him as a saint.

Sugihara was born in Gifu on the first day of 1900, January 1. He achieved top marks in his schooling; his father wanted him to become a physician, but Sugihara wished to pursue learning English. He deliberately failed the exam by writing only his name and then entered Waseda, where he majored in English. He joined the Foreign Ministry after graduation and worked in the Manchurian Foreign Office in Harbin (where he learned Russian and German; he also converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church during this time). He resigned his post in protest over how the Japanese government treated the local Chinese citizens. He eventually married Yukiko Kikuchi, who would suggest and encourage his acts in Lithuania; they had four sons together. Chiune Sugihara passed away July 31, 1986, at the age of 86. Until her own passing in 2008, Yukiko continued as an ambassador of his legacy.

It is estimated that the Sugiharas saved between 6,000-10,000 Lithuanian and Polish Jewish people.

returnofthejudai

It’s a tragedy that the Sugiharas aren’t household names. They are among the greatest heroes of WWII. Is it because they were from an Axis Power? Is it because they aren’t European? I don’t know. But I’ve decided to always reblog them when they come across my dash. If I had the money, I would finance a movie about them.

He told an interviewer:

You want to know about my motivation, don’t you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He just cannot help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes, Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent.

People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many people’s lives….The spirit of humanity, philanthropy…neighborly friendship…with this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situation—and because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage.

He died in nearly complete obscurity in Japan. His neighbors were shocked when people from all over, including Israeli diplomatic personnel, showed up at quiet little Mr. Sugihara’s funeral.
