Art Fight 2023 baby!!!!

I started this one first, had fun feeling good the first 30 minutes and then struggled for 3 hours and took a break to do something simpler. Came back, cropped and changed stuff and played around until dang... I don't even need the text to hide the areas I didn't really like anymore! But also I really worked hard on that text so here's both versions!

The character is Anonbeadraws Novel Sang!

They have such a cool design! And Anonbea just has amazing art in general!

That's right another year of attempting artfight!

time to HALT!

(i learned this in a caregiving class but it's useful in most situations i've been in, like not to be neurodivergent on main but sometimes you feel Bad and can't work out why)

Hungry? eat something*.

Angry? count to ten, take a deep breath, and walk away from it if you can.

Lonely? interact with another person that you aren't responsible for.

Tired? take five minutes to sit with your eyes closed.

also i bet your drink is going cold.

Maybe pick you fav and tell me what mood/atmosphere they show to you? A few colour and lighting experiments i’m doing while i work on a tutorial for simple shading, knowing what you think might help me improve it! These are all using the same base colours and the same technique but in different ways, i’ll cover that in the tutorial.

I am sorry for the delay! I hope this will be helpful!

I’ve been getting some requests to make a tutorial on how to draw fabric. It’s really not that complicated when you break it down, but it’s still something people get stuck on and over complicate. Here’s my “bare bones” simple explanation as to how to draw fabric!

[soundwall]

have fun w/ this

[myrthena]

It took me forever to respond to the asks, and I didn’t know what to make a tutorial of other than this girl here! Made this for the people who were curious of my drawing process and to celebrate 20k follows on ig. Hope this helps!

Legend says only a few mortals have drawn all 12 dancing princesses together. Today I became one of them. Lol but seriously, after this, drawing single characters will be a breeze :D Hope you like the royal sisters!

They really should teach people how to cook in school.

that is honestly one of the best-timed and best-edited videos as if the music were made for the text or the text were made to the music and perfectly

People in the BDSM and kink communities are the only people who are normal about sex, actually, and we should all learn from them.

I think everyone should familiarise themselves with the theory for such key concepts as consent, rejecting a sexual practice for yourself without judging it morally for others, sub drop and how it can happen even in the most vanilla sexual encounters, and aftercare and how it’s often needed in even the most vanilla sexual encounters (but often treated as a joke and something to ridicule).

[futureevilscientist]

Summary for those who haven’t read the links:

Sub drop is basically getting the endrophin high from sex and then crashing hard from it. You just had an amazing, intense experience, so why do you want to cry??? Why do you feel weird and empty and alone? Even if you don’t get the outright crash, when the horniness fades, it catches up to you just how vulnerable you’ve been, and it’s natural and common to feel a little lost and alone after that. Contrary to what the term implies, you don’t need to be the submissive party to experience this. Note how much vanilla sex culture ridicules this (”crying after sex” jokes, etc.).

Aftercare is the antidote to sub drop, it’s the post-sex affirmation that things are good and you are safe and appreciated. Common forms include cuddling, ice cream, taking a warm shower together, wrapping yourself in your fuzziest softest bathrobe available and general relaxation together. Comfort and reassurance. Note how much vanilla sex culture condemns people as “needy” for wanting this kind of treatment, or for being upset that their partner just walks out on them after sex. (The people being condemned as “needy” are usually women, but I don’t even want to think about how much men certainly need this comfort too but feel like they can’t ask for it without being seen as un-masculine.)

This is what I mean when I say BDSMers and kinksters are the only ones who have this shit figured out. None of these things are actually exclusive to BDSM and kinky sex, vanilla sex for everyone would be SO MUCH BETTER if these things were part of universal sex ed.
