I blog about art from my love for Waterboy Iāve been into self-shiping for many years and Herman is my strongest crush of all š«§
ukr/rus/eng: I'm using a translator for the text, so there may be errors or misunderstandings
I also have a Self-Insert Dispatch OC. You can learn more about them here: š
I draw a lot about my personal insecurities, silly comics, Waterboy illustrations, and Dispatch-related content. The topics on my blog can sometimes touch on erotic or traumatic themes that I process through my art. So please consider whether youād like to see this kind of content or if youād rather move on
I really love anonymous questions and always try to draw something in response! So if youāve sent me a message and I havenāt replied yet, I might just be working on a picture for you!
I've been working on this drawing for a long time because I can't decide on the composition But now I need to get back to working on my thesis, and I'm about to explode āļøš¤
A copy of Gustav Klimt's painting "The Kiss" with my selfship
Also inspired by (my favourite) song:
I'm ukrainian btw ā
I had a TON of fun drawing this. Seriously. Oh, I'm so glad I drew this. It's funny because at first I didn't like the painting "The Kiss" at all. I didn't understand its popularity at all, but when I started working on it, I got more and more immersed in the colors, the figures, the pose, so I thought it all through, and seriously. Anyway, I'm really happy rn š„
Ah! Project Hail Mary! I havenāt read the book yet but I liked the movie!
What are your thoughts on the movie?
YES YES YES PHM FANS
spoilers(?)
Plus Art+
As soon as I found out the movie was based on a book, I immediately rushed to read the original. I watched the movie after reading, and I was, of course, surprised by some of the differences.
Speaking for myself, Iām not a big fan of cinema, it just doesnāt resonate with me that much. I donāt know why. So itās very hard to get me interested. But with PHM, I was really hooked
To me, two hours feels like too short a time for a story like this. It sounds obvious, of course, but for me, the time flew by in a second, and I didnāt even realize how it happened. Like yeaaah, when youāre reading something for a whole week, the plot seems slow, and in the movie, they cut some parts and replaced them with others.
It seems to me they made Stratt softer and took away that particularly sharp-tongued personality I adore so much in the book. She has quite a few scenes where she lets herself do whatever she wants, since thereās literally no one in the world more important than her, but she doesnāt get cocky, instead, she shows her seriousness and confidence in what sheās doing. Even if itās cruel, she knows the consequences of her actions. In the movie, she never raised her voice at Grace, but when he was being restrained, she was banging on the table so hard she was screaming that heād fly into space. That scene gives me chills.
And Rocky is way more of a goofball in the book compared to the original. Itās funny to watch how he often teases Grace, calling him stupid and annoying. I love their relationship in any form. And yes, Grace is actually much dumber and more inattentive, which makes him more relatable to the audience. In the book, he was much more self-assured and decisive
I should also mention that I watched the movie in Ukrainian and read the book in Russian, so some details might have been lost in translation
I'M SAD that they really cut down on the scene with the couch while the whole team was still alive. Itās literally discussed in Graceās monologue that the couch at their research base belongs only to the astronauts about to embark on their journey, to āat least give them some comfort before they die,ā and in the end, because of the crowd, Grace accidentally falls next to them onto the cushions. That subtle hint made me giggle really loudly
Your question also inspired me to draw Herman and myself as Eridians. I really love how they turned out š„š„š„šš„š„š„
I'm sorry it took me so long to answer this question. I hope I made my thoughts clear. I highly recommend giving the book a try! I don't really understand a lot of the chemistry, physics, biology, and math topics... But it's really interesting!
His name is "Drop." I made a mistake in the text, lol
Take care of your health. Itās so sad that I got so sick right after my exams. No rest at all in the end, just pure suffering. As soon as Iām back to my normal state, Iāll be drawing Waterboy nonstop š
A yapping about the differences between the book "Project Hail Mary" and the movie. Somehow, a two-hour movie turned into five hours way too easily....
I finished my last art exam with good results! Yay, I did it..I'm exhausted
Throughout the week of classes, I drew pictures of myself with Herman just to keep my mood up. It helped me relax after a hard day
For the first time in four years, I got straight 5s in every subject. My imposter syndrome keeps me from fully enjoying this, but the one thing that makes me happy is that itās finally over, and now I can work on my final thesis with a clearer mind. I also have one art history exam left, and thatās it. Iāll definitely get back to blogging as often as I did before š¤
I try not to think about what awaits me after I finish my degree. And what my life will be like after 11 years of school and 4 years of university š§āāļø
A fucking arts degree in the age of AI-generated slop. God help me š
I have my final art exam tomorrow. I've already finished preparing for the exhibition and I feel terrible
Iāve been suffering from nervous tics for years, but over the past couple of weeks theyāve gotten so bad that Iām a nervous wreck from morning till night. Sometimes I even stutter and get tongue-tied. I need a break. A good break.
I'll definitely post some photos from the exhibition tomorrow, I hope everything goes well. I'm not worried anymore about the grades I'll get for my paintings. I just want a week off
Plus, itās incredibly hot out, and my body canāt stand the heat, itās justā¦ wellā¦ Anyway. Iāll be back to drawing Waterboy soon. Sending hugs to everyone whoās also taking exams
I have an art exhibition on Friday the 21st to showcase my work from this semester
Itās my last one in all four years of studying at the academy. I still have to work on my thesis, and honestly, itās hard to believe how quickly time has flown and that this is it, itās all over. Stay tuned for a couple of photos from the event, even though I run a blog about my yumeship, I also want to share just my daily life š
Here's last year as an example. This is a collection of all my classmates' paintings (mine aren't shown here)
I had to blur out some of the paintings, because I'm worried Tumblr might decide that female nudity is "too erotic"
I love drawing Herman looking wetter when he's feeling emotional
I have an exhibition coming up at the academy, and I got sick just a week before it starts. This is the second time this has happened, I was sick last semester too. Itās just so annoying š„š„š„
Unfortunately, Herman didn't fall for my pleas this time š
"It's fine. Next time I'll just bring the plastic bags"
"Maybe Iā"
"You're not going to sleep on the floor, so calm down."
When will Waterboy stop being a awkward wet dog all the time?
If you invite Herman over, youāll either have to wrap everything in multiple layers of plastic bags or bring a powerful hair dryer and set aside plenty of time. But at least weāll get to spend more time together.
Why not post an old meme here for the archives? Vi and I are annoying Robert during our breaks at work
This is a post in appreciation of Vi, because it was thanks to her that I learned more about Dispatch and actually started drawing as much fan art as I do rn š¤š„š„š„
I'm having a really stressful day and I feel terrible, so here's Metalhead Waterboy
"Ouch! You s-staāpoked me in the eye!"
"If you hadn't been fidgeting, everything would have been fine. Don't move"
"Are you abs.. s-sure you don't want to come? with me"
"No, thanks. I feel awful in really noisy places... Basically anywhere that's noisy and too crowded"
"How do I look?"
"hot"
"Oh."
I know absolutely nothing about the subcultures of punks, rockers, metalheads, and the like, so I hope I don't look too stupid, lol. I support my partner's hobby. Unfortunately, his makeup will start to smudge in about three minutes š
