Atlas

The internet's favorite engima that ocassionally posts art when he feels like making it He/Him

[reinapepiada]

they can lean on him a little bit, as a treat

their looks are a much more simplified version of these outfits i drew them in from this fanfic i wrote bc i still can't let it go

[cactuspunk]

So I might've liked this so much that I cross-stitched...

A list of incidents that have occurred which has lead me to conclude our new work building is 100% haunted:

-Found a random chair behind the building pointed at our backdoor

-In the same backwoods found a half buried mannequin

-Cameras keep detecting random "human motion" in empty room

-Same cameras keep getting random floating orbs but only in night vision mode

-Also same cameras have weird static over them when in normal day mode

-Light switch in bathroom changes the shade (yellow->white, and vice versa) for no apparent reason

-Multiple incidents of strange scurrying and/or bangs coming from the air ducts

Oh and all of this is occurring in an old warehouse which gets incredibly dark and I have to open alone in the morning... I love this building so much.

I will finally finish one of my ever-growing pile unfinished multi-chapter fics I tell myself. I will work on one of the many existing drafts. I will not start planning another fic.

I am lying to myself. I will continue to plan more fics that may or may not ever have their future chapters see the light of day.

I have birthed my son

[cactuspunk]

I fully read this tag as #the saphic orbs and was fully ready to accept that Zane just has those lesbian eyes

Officially dropping the Zane cross-stitch pattern! He's 19x15 stitches per side (I'm doing 38x30 on 11-count for my Zane)

The colors here are not super accurate to the actual design. There's a lot of exaggerations between the gray shades to make it easier to tell what's what

[cactuspunk]

I designed a back for him... maybe I'll drop a proper cross-stitch pattern guide when he's done

I could study for my psych final on Saturday... or I could write more fanfic...

Anyways whose ready for a new DP fic and a Chasing Daylight fic update?

[cactuspunk]

I love when I'm trying to write a paper on fictional suicide in fanfiction and somehow end up reading about an academic paper about the prevalence of Kirk/Spock smut??

Me when I crawl outta of my uni hell woodworks to drop my 15 min D&D character doodle before running back to my midterm studying hole

That moment the fic's so good you end up breaking your multi-month art block for it

Link to the fic chapter this is based on. It's really good and highly recommend to give it a read if you have the time!

Continuing on that AP Portfolio reveal high: Confront

I made this piece using a acrylic paint and sewn buttons before editing it digitally. I definitely like the final digital version more than the physical copy.

Check under the cut if you wanna see my design process/ideas!

Next part of my AP art portfolio: "Contact"

I can never quite tell if I like this piece or not. It was first time actually doing colored shading in a piece so it was a big improvement in my art but there's definitely some things I think I could do better. Maybe I'll end up redoing it in the future?

[cactuspunk]

Keeping up with the next part of my AP art portfolio: "Connect"

If you want to read my sustained investigation and see my process composite for this piece, check under the cut!

Many, including myself, can develop an intrusive paranoia that warps once familiar environments into places filled with fear and dread. Using a monster I designed to represent this paranoia and my character's emotions and conflicts with it, how can I portray these fears? How can I reveal how they can warp one's thoughts to cause anxiety using visual environments and evolving character depictions? And how can I demonstrate a growing influence of these fears using juxtaposition between 2D and 3D elements with different materials?
