More about me:
I love getting inspiration from other artists, and make pieces that invoke nostalgia and comfort. (At least that’s what I believe lol) Storytelling is one of my main passions.
I’ve been meaning to focus on more storyboards, backgrounds, and original stories this year, but hyperfixation usually gets to me before I finish anything. Be patient with me; I’m only human!
(Speaking of boards, here’s one of my favorites…)
I often find it quite hard to focus on topics that aren’t art related or to the fandoms I’m in, but I’ll usually circle back in due time. (Possible ADHD haver here!)
I‘m also naturally a shy and introverted person, so don’t be worried if I miss a post or an ask. Anxiety be damned.
You’re still here? You’re AWESOME!! Uh, have a little gallery of my work :)
Thank you Elena and Emerson for being the little things in my heart that tell me it’s okay to be old n gay and all that- anyway here’s more doodles (it was their anniversary and all that)
seeking a campaign manager for my friend fadwa's chuffed!
(Paliliberation and Fadwa's account are both on Instagram, not here)
my friend kaye used to help me transfer the funds, but they are unable to now due to bank issues. if you can help or know someone who can, please dm me here or email [email protected]! also feel free to reach out for more details!
The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!
The amount of people talking about Long Story Short is not big enough. It’s a genuinely great show, but fan discussion so far is as dry as the Sahara Desert. At least from what I’ve seen. To be fair, I don’t think Bojack really took off in popularity until its second season, but I’d hope it being from the same creator would give it a boost. At least it seems like most people who watch it acknowledge its quality.
Omg this is so cuuuute! I love how realistic the Schwooper siblings look in the first image. Also, I never knew I needed to see Yoshi with a fishbowl helmet until now lol
Awww thanks for the lovely comment!! I also want to make something fully colored and lined for the show someday, but haven’t had the time to do so yet. I know in my heart these are half baked lmao-
I think it’s obvious enough, but I put Yoshi in that helmet because of his fascination with the huge fish tank in ep 2! His distraction/adhd (add) fits really well with the organized visual chaos of fish swimming.
I want to make keychains (fandom designs), but I know that the multiple fandoms I want to sell them to aren’t going to find them, and that others will not know wtf particular characters are from.
Like catch me buying common side effects or like, idk, invincible fight girl keychain designs (never seen the show, my apologies!), and never selling the whole batch. What would I do with the stock then??
I mean I’ve thought about making keychain designs, but haven’t caught up with the pop culture zeitgeist that it feels like I’m trying to fit myself into a box rather than actually enjoying the material and craft. I like incorporating symbolism and storytelling even if it’s simplistic (and outright dumb sometimes). I like characterization in my illustrations, and just think it’s a waste of material and time to design something based on something I’m not passionate about. (Which doesn’t align with other people’s current fandoms 60% of the time lol)
Anyyywhooo if y’all are following me because of a certain fandom I’m in or because you like my art-style, I really appreciate it! My art is truly an amalgamation of whatever shows I like/watch :)
I do not condone smoking, nor think it’s cool to condone every type of it, so don’t think I’m trying to glorify it dear tumblr folks! This a just a funny ol’ thought experiment. Is it accurate? Probably not! It’s FICTION!
I procrastinated on note taking and took too long to research how smoking and fish gills work so here this is… @pancaketron
They wouldn’t smoke 🤧
BUT- For the thought process, I would personally say the first option. The smoke passes in through the mouth, and out through capillaries in the gills. It basically passes through the same opening anyway.
Since gills essentially function like lungs, the second one would probably be like putting a cigarette directly on your trachea or in the lungs or something. That hurts dude.
Third, but also more cursed option- At least 1% of nicotine (thought the blunt was a cigarette at first glance) is passed through second hand smoke, you could technically blow or waft that smoke into the gills?? Which is… gross… and won’t give you a nicotine high.
Artie would probably put whatever up his gills though (no double entendres here lmao- that man is something)
Screw it... 90fies your desktop 🖥️⌨️🖱️(Alts, notes, and reference images below… it’s a long yap session I swear)
I am in no way, shape of form a person who grew up in the 90s. Nor am I a computer savant (so everything might be in the wrong time period), but I thought it would be interesting to doodle Mac if their design was inspired by an older desktop vs a recent “gaming” one. I then spent an absurd amount of time designing and rendering it (bonus points because I didn't thumbnail first lmao) 😭
Instead of going into this without any extra notes like in my usual posts, I'm going to dive a little deeper into their design. This is my blog anyway, and I love reading about artists' design processes!!! So here’s my full brain on displayyy!!!
Original Mac design by the lovely art team behind Date Everything! 90s Mac by meeee!
I'm absolutely in love with the idea that there are multiple versions of the same characters we meet in the game, but with altered designs and personalities. For example; if we had a 90s Nokia, this would still be the same humanization as Phoenicia as the game, but with "analog buttons" on her dress rather than a colorful screen pattern. She probably wouldn’t have the same personality or social media fixation however.
For Mac, I figured their design would be inspired by the internals of early 90s desktops (or generally the other boxy, white computers of the time). Reference images below.
There was a bit more color and "texture" variance in the internal wiring, and I wanted something that fit the y2k aesthetic. Switch from the Matrix (and the movie in general) was also a pretty good jumping-off point, especially for the non-backlit screen (black/green vibe from the movie).
Add in a couple more display themes from the 90s/early 2000s Microsoft for more color inspiration, a large puffy sleeve for asymmetry, and there you have this Mac design!
Additionally, I completely forgot about the iMac G3 in color when designing. These things would have fit the y2k vibe so much better, but left the 90s time period!
For their wheelchair, I felt it wouldn’t make sense to put them in the same chair as the game (as much as the cooling fan would still work in my version, and how much I love the redesign 😔). Instead, I looked at circular pieces that could work as newer wheels, and that's when I stumbled across the floppy disk reader for Apple computers.
And the coils (?) of… a cooling fan- as the arm rests.
Anyway, I hope someone other than me is at least a bit intrigued by my process. It was fun rendering and drawing something else than my usual work for a change. Cringe is freeing, so do whatever the hell you want lol- thanks for reading of you did!
Also also... do y'all think Lady Memoria would even chat with this version of Mac???? 👀
I'm so done with this piece!!?!? Happy fridayyyyy!!!
