I love homestuck. Homestuck raised me. I will never suggest someone read it. I cant even tell you the whole plot. I know the whole plot by heart. Homestuck is vile. Homestuck is perfect. Homestuck is so bad. Homestuck was revolutionary for me. Homestuck changed the course of my life. I will never talk about it unless under extreme circumstances. Its funny. It influenced my grammer. I dont think about homestuck. I Always think about homestuck. Please talk to me about homestuck. Never talk to me about homestuck. I spent a year of my life terrified that I was going to be struck down for saying Jegus. I never got struck down. I am powerful with this knowledge. I am weakened by this knowledge. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I would not choose it again if the situation were different. It would have chosen me anyway. Read homestuck. Don't think about homestuck.

Post Your Bad Unfinished Art #4: PPG

A while ago I mentioned that I had gotten back into my middle/high school otp of aged-up Blossom PPG and Dexter Laboratory, and this is part of that. I like how Blossom turned out, and Buttercup’s variation is kind of a no-brainer (biker jacket instead of double-breasted, plain skirt instead of pleated, chunky boots), but Bubbles is the one I’m still stuck on. Kinda hard to mix together a frilly cute aesthetic with a superhero uniform, though I’ve certainly seen it done before.

I drew Dexter I thiiiink maybe once? Then immediately regretted it bc it just looked wrong… he’s that kind of character in my head, where if I draw him and he doesn’t look Just Right then the whole image becomes a Level 5 Cognitohazard for me and I can never bear to look at it. In my mind he’s got a similar vibe as young Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. (With like…. the TINIEST HINT of some kind of alt fashion. Just the TEENIEST thing, barely noticeable. Maybe a helix piercing covered by his hair. I notice that kids who were socially outcast tend to get into alt stuff later on.)

“Post Your Bad Art” #3 - Two Bronze Aquatic ‘Sonas

“unfinished art” is more like it, but i’ve said that already :P

on the left is a Zora-sona for BotW/TotK, since Sidon was my awakening into the beautiful world of monsterfuckers & i love the idea of a cephalopod Zora. since I have brown hair I imagine her scales (and whatever is on the squishy parts… skin, i guess?) are a shiny metallic bronze

on the right is a princess-sona for Mermaid Melody, a magical girl anime I was fixated on in middle school — which was still way older than the target demographic lol — in which the girls are mermaid princesses of each of the “7 seas” (actually oceans) and they fight by turning into magical girls with legs and singing J-Pop until their enemies run away. VERY shitty anime, but I love the music to this day and i think the designs are very appealing

i like to imagine a sort of sequel series in which there are minor princesses of smaller bodies of water all over the world, this one being Princess of the Mediterranean Sea. again, bronze/brown is her color scheme, though i think “Chocolate Pearl Voice” sounds cuter as a transformation call-out :3c

“Post Your Bad Art” #2 - W.I.T.C.H.

you can see the dates on these, i remembered this nostalgia for like… a few days maybe??? i really loved the designs growing up, i think they’re a good intro on how to make a bunch of costumes look unique but still like theyre part of a team

and a random ‘sona. guardiansona??? if we’re going by classical east asian elements then im either wood or metal 🤔

In the west:

meanwhile in Japan:

Sadly it’s still (or possibly becoming more of) a thing in the west that hyperrealism is seen as superior, that stylised animation is somehow lesser (tbh it’s evocative of the “It’S jUsT a CaRtOoN” argument), and that mimicking real life as closely as possible is the pinnacle of animation.

Animation as an art form is so very devalued in the west. Imo the fact that the biggest animation studio in the world is churning out endless “”””live action”””” remakes (they’re not fully live action, and calling them so dismisses the work of hundreds of CGI artists and animators who work on those films) kinda cements this
