(commentary + process under the cut, reblogs appreciated!!)
about the piece: was anyone else obsessed with the line “accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie” ???? genuinely, “build god and then we’ll talk” was my FAVORITE song almost entirely because of that line, it’s SOO GOOD. maybe it’s because I’ve kinda made it my thing to illustrate songs, but I really appreciate when songs have really descriptive lyrics/ideas that translate really well into visual art.
also, more about my process: I’ve realized two things about myself and my art w/ this piece:
1. i don’t really like working with color at all!! it’s just not very fun for me, I’d much rather work in shades of black and white and use my beloved screen tones instead :)
2. i like a lot of angular shapes— curved lines make me mad and i would prefer not to mess w them (read: loser who won’t put in the effort to draw anything resembling a circle)
I really enjoyed almost “carving” out this figure—i usually start with a black canvas and add a blob of white that vaguely resembles the form and then slowly using black to carve out the figure. adding the screen tones and creating the back-lit effect was also super cool (the lighting probably isn’t that accurate, but i never said i was GOOD at it)
also, if you’ve been following me for a while, you probably recognize this concept from my earlier dance dance piece:
they are very similar concept wise, but around a year apart!! i think I definitely like the execution of the more recent one better, but it’s cool to see the evolution of my art despite me not making art that often anymore. I can’t say much to whether or not the anatomy in either of the pieces is accurate, but I would probably assume that the recent one is more accurate
usually I would end these types of posts with some commentary about the song, but I really don’t have much to say analysis-wise! build god and then we’ll talk is still one of my fav songs off afycso, and sonically it’s definitely one of the most interesting songs panic! has ever put out—very happy to have finally made a piece to show my appreciation for the song :)
I haven’t been active AT ALL!! Been super busy with school but thought that the FOB side of tumblr would appreciate this promposal for my girlfriend <3

I went to the Seattle show with my best friend and hearing that speech really meant so much to me. As someone who had struggled with self harm for a long time fall out boys music and Pete speaking up about his mental health gave me the courage to save my life. Thank you Pete for being the soundtrack to my life and the courage to take back my own life
if dcd was founded today instead of in the 2000s those bitches wouldnt even be making music theyd just live in a big influencer content-house in la and make STD PRANK ON MY GIRLFRIEND (SHE CRIED?!) vlogs and do molly and rack up sexual assault allegations
