another little line for my collection @littlelinescomp - Tumblr Blog

Updated 2023-01-23

OVERVIEW: I'm still getting everything set up, but welcome to the blog! I'm Chesca and my main is @fvriva. I also post art on @cinalilli. If you have anything you'd like to see in this archive, feel free to shoot me a DM or an ask and I can take a look at it! I came to realize that I could really use a nicer way to organize the collection of online artists I reblog, but the level of care it would take to organize that is more of a side-blog venture than a main-blog venture.

TAGGING SYSTEM: Tags will primarily be by artist/relevant fandom and characters, then by medium, and then by whatever aesthetic features I think stand out about the piece + my commentary. I will also try to provide an image ID if there is not already one provided. I'll have a list of the tags under the cut, partially for my own organizational use. the only place where i'll use capitalization is for artist handles and media that requires it as a stylization choice. character names are always given name preceding surname. characters will be tagged by the most culturally relevant name. symbols come before letters. i do not know how to put the the non-latin-alphabet artist handles in alphabetical order.

so like. snakes don't actually have long tails- their tails are infact pretty short- and basically all of their length comes from just having a very long torso.

so as far as "accurate" anthro snakes go.

i remember seeing a post here a while ago about the phrase "how are you?" when asked in situations where an accurate response is not expected (this is called 'phatic' speech), and how many people (esp autistic people) view that as unintuitive or frustrating. if I remember correctly the original post implied that "fine" is the only typical response, but I don't think that's true! i would judge all of these as acceptable responses to a "how are you", arranged roughly in order of positive to negative. note that this is based solely on my own experience as a speaker of "standard American English" and may not translate to other languages or cultural contexts.

great!/awesome!

pretty good

doing good

alright/same old, same old

eh.

been better

hanging in there

i don't want to talk about it (important: needs a humorous/self-effacing tone)

i think the overarching principles here are that

on an emotional range of 1-10, you should be between like a 4-6. expressing excess positive emotion is less of a violation than excess negative emotion, though.

avoid going into detail; don't reference specific events, and try to avoid responses that would invite prompting

responding with "you?" or "how are you?" is polite, and the other person will be expected to follow the same rules. afterwards, conversation continues. if one person expressed a negative sentiment, a short vague "hope things get better" or similar at the close of the conversation is generally acceptable.

the closer you are with the other person, the more detail is acceptable; if there's time pressure (you're talking with a cashier), you generally want to elide details.

i'm not a linguist so i can't go into theory, and I might be wrong, but I hope this helps!

autogeneity

hmm, I think perhaps as a corollary to

the closer you are with the other person, the more detail is acceptable;

the more information there is in your response — this being both actual details and "the fact that the response is something other than the default fine/good" — the more it shifts the interaction towards an actual conversation that you want the person to engage in with some level of intentionality rather than purely reciting the script and moving on.

like if I'm on a call with a coworker and they reply with the most generic "goodthanksnyou" the interaction is probably going to look like me going "good thanks" and going straight to the order of business. but if they're like "just glad it's Friday lol" we might chit-chat a bit and it's more casual.

sort of setting the tone and perhaps an invitation to a variant of closeness I suppose.

[image id: a drawing by Will J Hadley of a girl crying and turning around in fear. the background has a traditional media quality to it. the sky is red and framing the girl's head like a halo is a gigantic eye with a red iris and catlike pupil. black rays stream from it like sunbeams and collect at the bottom of the image into an inky mass with white gleaming eyes peering through it at the girl. she is wearing a tattered grey dress and is mostly in greyscale except for the reddened portions of her upper arm, hand, and forearm where eyes have opened up. her left eye is in shadow and has a glowing red eye. the bottom of the image reads "CURSED" in white, handwritten letters. /end id]

[image id: a digital drawing by Robin Yao of a boy with messy blonde hair and sunglasses playing guitar on the stairs. it's nighttime, and he's surrounded by crows. he's wearing black skinny jeans, white hi-top converse, and a loose grey long sleeve shirt, exposing his forearms. the stairs lead into an alley and are covered in trash, graffiti, and torn paper signs. the colors are primarily blues, purples, oranges, and greys. two neon signs in the background read "FLESH" in all caps and "ABSOLUTE GARBAGE" in all caps. /end id]

Honey Milk Fox 02.

littlelinescomp

[image id: two drawings by Nadia Kim of tiny foxes on a breakfast table. both images use lots of golds, browns, whites, yellows, and oranges and are rendered in a painterly style. the foxes have little markings on their tails and backs to evoke latte art and honey.

image 1 id: a fox sitting inside of a biscuit on a plate with another fox curled up on the table. the scene is surrounded by leaves and a jar labelled "HONEY" in all caps with a latte heart on it and a honey wand inside sits in the background. behind it is another jar labelled "HONEY" and a glass.

image 2 id: a container of milk and a glass of milk, a jar of honey with a honey wand, a slice of honey toast, a kettle, and a small fox with its paws on the plate. the fox is inspecting the toast curiously. the container of milk is labelled in korean and english, with the english reading "Delicious" and "Honey Milk". /end id]

The amazing digital art of Spencer_sais

Sketching from the Imagination: Fantasy

littlelinescomp

[image id: a series of nine images by Spencer_sais. all of them are digital paintings in an anime style.

image 1 id: a scene featuring the vocaloids rin and len, dressed like characters from alice in wonderland. they are tiny in scale and their environment is lush and green. rin is sitting on a mushroom and looking at len.

image 2 id: a girl sitting in front of a window strumming a guitar. she is shown with the viewer looking down from above and surrounded by papers. the shadows of the blinds create bars on the messy sheet music pages that surround her. the lighting is bright and the mood is calm. she is wearing a white dress with blue piano keys along the hem.

image 3 id: a girl with brown hair in two long pigtails sleeping on the ground. underneath her there are a series of drawings and polaroids of plants, a camera, an elevation map, and a small drawing of a girl with black hair in twintails. light filters in through the blinds to crate bars of light and shadow over her sleeping form.

image 4 id: a portrait of arima kosei from your lie in april listening to music underwater. his eyes are closed and he clutches flowers to his chest, framing his face. he is resting on a bed of fluttering sheet music and a few corded items including a rotary phone and a set of headphones.

image 5 id: a portrait of the vocaloid miku in casual clothing, holding a camera. the background is a glowing white and she fades into it. there are two blue bars at the top and bottom of the image, creating a window effect. she is surrounded by fish and her eyes are closed, expression content.

image 6 id: an image of a girl with brown twin tails in a school uniform, falling into an endless sky. she is turning in space, and has thrown a paper airplane.

image 7 id: an image of a girl playing the accordion in an abandoned building. the color palette is muted and the girl is far away. the windows have broken panes of glass and cobwebs hang from the ceiling and from the metallic stairs leading to an upper floor. papers fly through the broken entry way that the girl enters the building through.

image 8 id: an image of miku floating over a city in the evening. she is holding her headphones and looks to be jumping. birds surround her.

image 9 id: an image of a girl with dark hair in twintails playing the piano. she is floating in a void with nothing but clouds and sky. /end id]
