I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me

This is not a fandom exclusive thing but it is relevant.
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother trying to make decent work where I either really nail the anatomy or movement or even try and finish a piece. Because it will never be held in high regard like a cheap, scribbled copy of a meme 🥴 At this point I’m convinced I’m delusional about my skill level and people are only liking the funny stuff just to be nice. Probably why people irl think I don’t draw anymore.
Ugh. I need to go take a life drawing class again.
First, your style is amazing and I, at least, adore both your finished and draft works.
Second, anatomy is great if hyper-realism is what you're going for, but your works are balanced, with the proportions correct and your characters well balanced (I wish my people came out as well balanced as yours). Yes, your sketches are amusing (fucking granny panties gremlin was incredible), but your Gritty works wouldn't have been nearly as impressive if you hadn't finished them.
Some pieces need finishing and some can work either way, but as for your skill level? Your art is incredible. You have a style, and that's half the battle right there. Anatomy classes can teach realism, but mostly it's about teaching proportions and techniques. If you want to take a class, go for it. Add to your repertoire. But don't doubt the skills you already have. Skill is about techniques, but what techniques you need really comes down to what you want to draw. No artist knows every technique, they only remember what they use. And every artist is always learning, growing, and experimenting. Your skill level is about whether or not you can draw the things you want to do. The way those things turn out, what you draw, and what the final piece looks like? That's all your style. And that's something uniquely yours and people may or may not like, but it's how your works are. And as long as you love the works you create, that's all that matters at the end of the day.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been despairing as it is so hard now to find references and photos of succulents and other things for my designs!! T_T

hey real quick can anybody help me find this image that I’ve seen before here on tumblr. it looks like this
the button doesn’t necessarily say “Elucidate the Rapture” but it does say something that’s kind of lengthy and has religious connotations. the woman pushing the button has an expression of indescribable smugness. there might be other buttons on the machine (?) she is pressing.
FOUND IT
Oh this is only the first image in the Eschatron 9000 Series
and the finale, because of the Tumblr image limit
thanks this is part of an even grander incomprehensibleness than I could have expected
I cannot believe that this is a website where you can ask “hey i think i saw a weird image once” and put a bad stick figure drawing of it and someone will be like “oh yeah that’s the first installment of a 12-part post-ironic apocalypse fever dream photoshop series” and just hand you a dozen of the most unhinged images you’ve ever seen in your life, that still have a better three act structure than most modern cinema
I dont think thats the whole photoset…. I found one more
But from what i can gather thats Crystal Thierry, also known as page73girl. Who seems to have been a model for the now defunct biggestletdown.com…
But i have no idea when the eschatron 9000 pictures were made or for that matter the original photos that were used to make it
this is far more than “random person in 2005ish creates surreal visual narrative” - let’s go deeper down the rabbit hole, shall we?
to Immanentize the Eschaton means to bring about utopian conditions and create heaven on Earth
the phrase is first cited in the Discordian religious text, Principia Discordia (1963), for whom Discord (aka Eris) is goddess:
the first line of Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s 1975 The Illuminatus! trilogy: “It was the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton.”
in Frederik Pohl’s The Eschaton Sequence (1997 - 1999), the human race is caught up in a galactic war between two alien races attempting to immanentize the eschaton
in Ken Macleod's The Stone Canal (1997), one of the chapters is “Another crack at Immanentising the Eschaton”
Crystal Thierry’s (aka the modern Discordia / Eris) narrative lives in esteemed company
here’s what the warning in the image says btw because i wanted to read it but it was too blurry so i had to spend several minutes hunting for a version with better resolution, so I’m posting it here so nobody else has to make that same journey
“DO NOT OPERATE THE ESCHATRON 9000 UNLESS YOU’RE REALLY, REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT DESTROYING THE WORLD”
also just noticed the labels on the dials on the left side of the device’s control panel:
“MAYHEM” and “DESTRUCTION” are both turned all the way up
As they should be. Can’t make paradise without scrambling a few universes.

This is one of my favorite posts because that cat’s fucking name is fucking meatloaf
Let us just appreciate that this person’s dad didn’t know when they would be home and so he couldn’t plan for them to be able to join the family for dinner, but he knew with no doubts that dear sweet Meatloaf staying in that exact position for hours was an absolute in this scenario. Truly, that cat was named well.
one of my favorite posts on tumblr over the course of 5 fucking years.. clearly i need a life
Meatloaf is a reliable cat and did not steal the money for selfish reasons. A rare friend.
I love Meatloaf. :)
Bless Meatloaf
