Prince of Dragonflies

On OC one-off character design that I had a lot of fun with! I wanted to use colors I don’t reach for often, and play with some clothing designs I’ve been toying with. Enjoy!

Can’t believe this was from 2024 and it is now … 2026. That’s how long this outfit has been haunting me. On a medieval kick rn!

Still one of the best animations I've ever done. Took just under a week and was equal parts fun and challenging. So here are some process passes! The full version had too many colors so I had to do some compression T0T

As always, no ai.

genuinely love the phrase "lock in" however I think its done incalculable severe damage to at least one person with unmedicated major depressive disorder who keep repeating "I just need to lock in" when they physically can't and that person is me but I think if I just lock tf in for real this time I can actually do it

as per my last straw,

[adancerofsymphonia]

In the time I have spent consuming media that involves popular bad™ male characters and/or M/F ships where the male character is morally gray or outright evil or conflicted or basically anyone who isn't completely safe and defanged, I have often comes across this statement and its countless other variations.

"Stuff like this is made to brainwash young girls into thinking that they can 'fix' dangerous men. Such girls usually end up in abusive relationships and their parents are right to worry."

It is rather strange to come across such a gross generalization, operating on an assumption that girls are blank slates whom anyone can manipulate and who can't distinguish between real and make believe on top of it.

In my entire "career"(if you can call it that) of engaging with fiction , the girls and women that I have run into in fandoms happened to be some of the most intelligent, talented, cool, witty and insightful people I have ever met. I've devoured the fics they have written. I have delighted in the arts and edits they've made. Their perspectives and interpretations about the characters and their relationships are genuinely fascinating to read about regardless of whether I agree with it or not. They are the ones who are most often at the receiving end of the antis' ire for no valid reason but they just keep deriving joy and inspiration from their favourite characters and ships and keep sharing it with others through stories, art and thoughts. They are not just smart but incredibly resilient, sensitive and aware not just about the media they consume but about the world around them and its issues.

I look up to their brilliance. I marvel at their passion. I admire them. I adore them.
