its still crazy to me years later how artists and writers have been complaining about how hard it is sometimes to draw and write since the dawn of time and we all talk about how we'd love to be able to just make art without actually having to make art but when ai started producing images that were passable as human made art and companies started marketing it as Exactly That, Making Art Without Having To Make Art, we all collectively went "no wtf" and beat the shit out of it with hammers without hesitation
when i say “aros can still date” i mean that as in “aros can do whatever the fuck they want and it doesn’t have to make sense to you”
but some of y’all say “aros can still date” to mean “aros are still able to fit your standards of an acceptable person despite their abnormality” and i do not fuck with that
I was with my step-dad and (nonbio) uncle, and the topic of christian borle came up because i was talking about him. My uncle searched him up and was like 'yeah who the fuck is that' while my step-dad was IMMEDIATLY going "OH MY GOD OMG THATS THE GUY FROM THE EBAY AD"
Reflecting on my past schooling, I probably wouldn’t have hated Romeo and Juliet as much as I do if my 9th grade English class voted on watching the 1996 version of it instead of the historical reenactment.
I guess my definition of taking a break is doing housework for half a day and then doing a late night sketch before finishing it the next day. Since school will be picking up, for the next two days at least, I won’t have enough time to churn out art as frequently, so I’m gonna try and take it slower for the time being. Anyway, here’s Malevola in all her demonic glory.
Also, sappy (mostly fluffy) personal stuff under the cut.
I recently had a talk with my mom about self-worth and how I determine when and why I’m worthy to other people. I enjoy drawing and creating art about the fandom spaces I’m in, and for the most part, I do it for myself to see the progress I’ve been making these past few days, but I also know that there are people who share very similar likes to me, and I want them (you, if you choose to read this) to share the fruits of my labor.
Sometimes, I feel really self conscious about my work because it doesn’t look as good as the reference picture I used, or how I had it in my head, but I’m also learning about drawing, mostly, humans. As long as the characters I’m drawing resemble the reference, I know I did a decent job. When I post my art and I see that it doesn’t gain as much traction as I thought it would, I get kind of discouraged, but I have to remember that if I’m in a room with 17 people who want to talk about dispatch and Coupé, I would get really overwhelmed really quickly.
Long story short, thank you to everyone who interacts with my art, no matter how shit I think it is at times, because it is so nice to see all of the positive people on who reblog it and get excited over their favorite characters. I’ll still do Dispatch characters, mostly Z-team, but when I finish I’ll migrate to Date Everything characters instead. Once again thank you all so much for being supportive of my art these past few days. I am so grateful that I found a positive community to share my art with. Enjoy your many cakes!
I’m churning this shit out like butter, so I don’t feel like I’m doing Coupé the absolute justice she deserves. Out of everyone in the game, she’s my all time favorite, so watching myself over the course of near 3 hours butcher her face kinda hurt. Anyway, I might take a break and rest a bit before drawing the rest of the girls.
