i made a really cute salad

this is it after i stirred it.

this is how much of the tofu ended up as scraps. don't worry i won't throw them away. very vaguely inspired by a salad i had at a vietnamese restaurant a while back. the dressing was peanut butter, soy sauce, huy fong chili garlic sauce, water and maple syrup. (didn't measure it. tbh the dressing was only ok... if i make this again i'll follow an actual recipe. edit: added some fresh lime juice. that's what was missing.) there are rice noodles, fried firm tofu tossed in soy sauce and chili garlic sauce, lettuce, cucumber, carrots, cilantro and peanuts. i'd never tried cutting tofu with a cookie cutter and it worked well! i was worried they'd be too fragile. they'd be really cute in a spring roll.

tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

“just, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.”

YEAH SO CHAPTER 5 OF IUTMTM IS OUT AND IT'S GOT Q POLE DANCING IN IT AND I HAVE DECIDED THAT THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH THAT IS TO GIVE YOU SOME SUPPLEMENTARY CONTENT IN THE FORM OF A FUCKING ANIMATION BECAUSE WHY THE FUCK NOT

HAVE I EVER ANIMATED ANYTHING IN MY ENTIRE LIFE EVER? NO.

DID I STAY UP UNTIL 5:30 AM (not a hyperbole) TRYING TO FINISH IT TODAY? YES.

BUT IT'S DONE (more or less). IT IS DONE AND I AM DONE WITH IT SO HOLY SHIT ENJOY BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

anyway hope you enjoy both the animation as well as chapter 5 of IUTMTM please i put so much effort into both

I’m a character artist. I’m used to painting skin and hair and clothes... soft textures, basically. I found out the hard way that this approach does not work for rocks. Unless you want them to look like weirdly shiny flesh blobs instead 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s why I try to practice rendering other surfaces from time to time. These were drawn for last month’s challenge on painting gems and colorful rocks!

If you like drawing challenges, join us! We’re studying underwater lighting, which is perfect for those of you who are also doing MerMay. Check it out here!
