a flying human disasterpiece

Hello, I'm Dottie! This is my personal blog where I do things sometimes. I’m an art historian, a grounded aerialist, and Fandom trash. I draw and paint things sometimes too.

[randomgooberness]

Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable

[randomgooberness]

Ok So I’m getting more notes than I thought quicker than I expected! So I’m gonna elaborate bc I want to. 

I get it, when you’re someone who writes a lot and talks a lot, it’s hard to keep things readable, but it’s not as much about cutting out the fat(that can be a problem) so much as a formatting issue. 

You are also actively NERFING yourself by not formatting it correctly, it can make impactful scenes feel so, so much better. Compare this, 

To THIS. 

Easier to read, and hits harder. 

No more over-saturated paragraphs. Space things out.

AI disturbance overlays for those who don't have Ibis paint premium. found them on tiktok

[quitetheweirdegg]

how do you use these?

[arson-jellyfish]

Put these on the top layer above everything, set layer to 'overlay' then adjust opacity. You can put it on whatever opacity you want but usually 30%+ is most effective.

The point is to obstruct the picture so AI can't read your image because AI counts every single pixel in your art

By this post alone, in less than 5 hours.

I need you all to calm the fuck down

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

[dragonswithjetpacks]

MY DASH NEEDS TO HEAR THIS.

[the-faultofdaedalus]

I had a dream that the king and the queen of a small country had a daughter. They needed a son, a first-born son, so in secret, without telling anyone of their child’s gender, they travelled to the nearby woods that were rumoured to house a witch.

They made a deal with that witch. They wanted a son, and they got one. A son, one made out of clay and wood, flexible enough to grow but sturdy enough to withstand its destined path, enchanted to look like a human child. The witch asked for only one thing, and that was for their daughter.

They left the girl readily.

The witch raised her as her own, and called her Thyme. The princess grew up unknowing of her heritage, grew up calling the witch Mama, and the witch did her very best to earn that title.

She was taught magic, and how to forage in the woods, how to build sturdy wooden structures and how to make the most delicious stews. The girl had a good life, and the witch was pleased.

The girl grew into a woman, and learned more and more powerful magics, grew stronger from hauling wood and stones and animals to cook, grew smarter as the witch taught her more.

She learned to deal with the people in the villages nearby, learned how to brew remedies and medicines and how to treat illness and injury, and learned how to tell when someone was lying. 

Every time the pair went into town, the people would remark at just how similar Thyme was to her mother. 

(Thyme does not know who and what she is. She does not know that she was born a princess, that she was sold. She only knows that one night after her mother read her a story about princesses and dragons, her mother had asked her if she ever wanted to be a princess.)

((Thyme only knows that she very quickly answered no. She likes being a witch, thank you very much, she likes the power that comes with it and the way that she can look at things and know their true nature.))

The witch starts preparing the ritual early, starts collecting the necessities in the winter so they can be ready by the fall equinox. Her daughter helps, and does not ask what this is for, just knows that it is important.

The witch looks at Thyme, both their hands raised into the air over a complicated array of plants, tended carefully to grow into a circle, and says, sorry.

I’ve started doing quick digital colour studies of my vacation photos from Ireland. It’s oddly freeing to work in a medium that isn’t directly paying your bills and I believe that what you learn in any medium or art form adds to your overall skill set. ⠀ (Are you interested in seeing these? They’re just daily 30 min studies and quite different from what you’re probably following me for.)⠀ ⠀ #landscape #ireland #digital #sketch #study #painting⠀

Today’s sketch. 48 min. I always carve out 30 min a day to practice, but when I have the time I work longer on them to achieve some sort of satisfying ‘finish’. AND these are the ones from this month. I’ve done landscape master studies this ways for a few months now! Also, the aim is to get a better feel for colours and the general shapes and textures of landscapes, not to create perfect digital paintings. The point is not to create quick masterpieces or be fast, but to add up little bits of daily practice over a longer time frame!

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.
