‼For the next few months I will not be taking commissions due to schoolwork‼

Commissions

If you lovely people of Tumblr want to commission me, you can!

For now, unless I edit this post to say otherwise, all of my commissions are FREE!!!!

Because I'm only 16 and don't have a bank account TvT

I used a base for the pose but other than that i really like how the colours came out :3

If I put a little more time into it I probably could have figured out how to add light from the glow onto the skin... but I'm lazy.

[cecilix-art]

It's been a while, but I did some art :3

I kinda feel like my skill has gotten worse, sadly

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

[cursed-and-haunted]

In case you're curious here's what I mean.

Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):

Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):

Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):

Do you see the difference?

this post has re-wired my brain in the best way

[olsonshroom]

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️

Mundane Avengers headcanons:

Peter's phone screen is perpetually broken. He doesn't even try to fix it at this point and just reads between the cracks (his friends consider it another superpower)

Tony uses hand lotion and lip balm obsessively. He may forget to eat but his sensory issues won't let him forget his chapped lips

Steve doesn't trust dishwashers, even when Tony explains the science and why they're actually cleaner

Natasha stretches constantly. Whenever she's bored, tired, standing around. The conversation gets dull and the next thing you know she's touching her toes

Bucky is actually very funny but he always has a dry, straight-faced delivery so nobody knows he's joking. He gets sad when no one laughs

Bruce apologizes to inanimate objects when he bumps into them. He bumps into them a lot.

Clint needs reading glasses but he simply refuses this fact and instead squints at everything

Thor loves reality TV but doesn't really understand the concept. Either thinks it's the news or a soap opera. His favourite is Dance Moms

Steve has a piggy bank filled with just pennies and is really proud of it. Tony once gave him a penny from 1918 for his birthday and it is still his favourite present

Peter has a ton of commercials memorized and always repeats them when they come on. Including around others when he can hear them but most people aren't even aware the TV has any volume ("it tastes awful and it works", he says out of nowhere, while the Avengers all stare at him eat another forkful of spaghetti)

Bucky hates being perceived and once almost choked to death in public because he just let himself suffocate for a bit. Silently coughing and panicking

Tony hates Bob Ross. It freaks him out how nice and effortlessly talented he is

Natasha adds hot sauce to everything

Clint usually eats kids cereal for breakfast. Especially the chocolate kinds

Steve makes his bed every morning and silently judges those who don't (Tony)

why i love marvel

what actually makes marvel so interesting is that beneath the costumes and superpowers, it's shockingly grounded in reality. instead of inventing random villains and conflicts, marvel often mirrors the real world-power struggles, government control, and the consequences of unchecked authority.

i find it especially ironic that my favorite marvel film is the first example when I research this. The Winter Soldier plays out like a political thriller, exposing how corruption can fester even within institutions trusted to protect us. or Civil War, which questions the balance between personal freedom and government oversight — a debate that feels uncomfortably real. Also true within the X-Men's struggles reflecting social issues like discrimination and activism.

even Captain America — who I'd call the face of marvel — was born as pure propaganda. he wasn’t just a hero; he was a morale boost in a world on edge, telling readers that America’s fight was righteous and promoting patriotism. he asked you to stand by him, defend the country, and join the war effort. but Captain America evolved, as we all do, and began questioning if he believed in what he symbolized. that internal conflict hit a breaking point when he abandoned the Captain America identity altogether and became Nomad — a man without a country. this wasn’t just a costume change; it was a rejection of blind patriotism. Steve realized that the ideals he once represented had been twisted, and instead of being loyal to a system, he became loyal to what’s right. he proved that strength isn’t about serving power — it’s about challenging it. as he once said, “The price of freedom is high, but its a price I’m willing to pay.”

this theme runs deep throughout marvel’s stories. behind the explosions and epic battles are characters grappling with systems bigger than themselves — governments with too much power, institutions corrupted by greed, and the eternal question of who gets to decide what's right. Spider-man’s lasting message, “With great power comes great responsibility,” reminds us that power must be wielded carefully, for it can easily corrupt when placed in the wrong hands.

marvel's greatest strength isn't just its heroes — it's the reminder that power should always be questioned, and that fighting for truth, even when it's complicated, is the greatest act of heroism. as Captain America put it, “The world’s on a lot of people’s shoulders. But right now, we need to put our trust in the right hands. The right hands.”

it’s also worth remembering that, for younger audiences or fans who watch these movies or read the comics for pure surface level entertainment might not even recodnize or resonate with these messages until they’re older or choose to explore them. while the themes are deeply relevent to real world issues, most viewers may not even realize how much the stories reflect their own struggles in society. it’s understandable that movies like these with their flashy action scenes and superhero battles appeal to a broad audience, but the underlying themes may only be seen by viewers with a different perspective.

So about the Stucky DnD!AU I've finished sketching the recurrent (?) characters, and I'm pretty satisfied! (Especially Nat, she's the hottest)

Basically reimagining the plot of the winter soldier in a fantasy key with some changes bc: yes

Still have to do Pierce, Zola, Fury and Maria!

I have written a sort of plot and there will be Tony and Wanda as well!

I should totally do a master post with all the infos, but I'm chaotic and messy as hell, I'll try my best
