Day 23

Pris redesign/my take on her design. My favorite redesign so far, I love how detailed it ended up as! I was first scared of doing the semitransparent parts but I love this piece! You you like it as well <3

(masterpost)

So this was one of my favorites to make despite actually loving the og design and not having any problems with it.

I just loved trying out different dresses moving between more princess or more practical. I went all in on mermaid theming and given her more of ocean witch vibe. I was inspired by mermaid and princess dresses but took a huge inspiration (even though it didn't make it into the final design) from Empires season 1 Lizzie! I was actually watching Pris when she just used to make theory videos about empires and there she occasionally spoke about her oc's backstory and about her oc's race being closely connected to Esmp1 Lizzie, so because of that I tried out a lot of variations with clothes inspired by Lizzie's but found them not fitting Water witch Pris's vibe.

I went through a ton of dresses because other than "pretty maxi dress" I didn't really have a clear goal in mind, I known I wanted mermaidy feel to it and I was very set on the sleeves being very flowy.

I couldn't really decide on her shoes being heel or not, from one point heels look amazing and her og design had them but on the other hand girl you ain't going swimming in heels but on the other other hand you ain't swimming in a dress either so yeah, I still ended up on a flat design just for practicality.

I cycled trough a bit of different very similar hair styles before finding the perfect wavy to straight ratio and front, I also went through some different ways to incorporate the bows but ended up with just adding them on like on the og design.

You know what I found out when looking for reference pictures for this dress? That I really need the word to move on from these basic boring simplistic maxi dresses that are just straight up boring like live a little pls add at least a fun pattern or something I don't want to see the same dress copy pasted unless you use a different font at least! Like girl respect yourself '-'

When I think of mermaid I think of pearls so I might have went overboard with pearls oops well that's gonna be fun to draw over and over again! ••

One of my favorite details is the bag, I tried drawing it to look like a seashell and was very proud afterwards!

I wanted to give her an abundance of jewelry so she got a lot of necklaces and bracelets!

I also might have made her into a fish... Took me a bit deciding what type °°

I gave her a weil and a semitransparent layer of skirts what was one of my first time drawing something like this in color so hope you guys love it as much as I do! I feel like the weil just really adds to her design and the skirt is only so we could her shoes. I'm not making very throughout decisions okay? I will forget what shoe I picked otherwise anyway. Now that I think about, oh my I should have gave her fish nets, nahh how did I not think of that earlier??? Okay next time I draw her I'm going to draw her with fish nets! This is a promise I probably going to forget to keep but I still can't believe I never thought about this before...

I tried making the dress resemble still her og dress with the corset element but ended up drawing her in a very different dress. I was debating if it's okay to have her design so different but ultimately decided that, there's only like a total of 5 ppl maybe if we being generous who actually could possibly care about the post and from that maybe 2 know what Witchcraft smp even is and from that there's only possible like 1 who actually cares even a bit about accuracy so yeah I'm sticking to some dress that I like and the vibe fits the most!

Drawing this made me think about the fact that I might be covering up characters more than I should. I like modesty but I also a big fan of sl-tty fashion cause you know style is style and that's more than what the straights have. What I figured out is that because I also hyper aware of sexualization of characters I more often than not, I cover them up and make them more modest, realistically I know it's not a bad thing, but it made me think because the creator was okay with og design showing off chest area but I covered it up still, why? Am I uncomfortable by drawing cleveg? Idk? I don't draw my main oc's like that but that's because they're underage and just wouldn't make sense to do so but that doesn't apply to these characters that are of age, and besides, I do draw characters with more skin showing just not regularly. Maybe it's the association with the creators? Or maybe it's simply that I always cover up? I have sensory issues and constantly need something covering me (I have specifically problem with the sun touching my skin) so maybe that's why. But yet again I love fashion where that isn't the case I just can't wear that so why do I still cover characters up that are of age, already have an approved by creators design with exposed skin and overall don't even have a sexual design? Well anyway I was just wondering because I needed constantly keep in mind to let myself draw a exposed shoulder cause damn it it looks good why am I against fun TT. I also did cover up chest for both Pris and El from og card designs so yeah...

Just in general when you read something ESPECIALLY smth about a political issue and it makes you feel something keep track of

1. WHAT am I feeling 2. WHY and HOW does this thing I just read evoke this feeling in me 3. WHOM and WHAT does this benefit

And that’s critical thinking

Modern Billy would be exactly the same as canon Billy. He'd be a "I was born in the wrong generation", "Music now sucks, I only listen to real music" type of guy. Definitely an Instagram hoe, has the same hair but wears old classic rock t-shirts and secretly listens to Taylor Swift when he's driving alone.

I literally had a legit anxiety attack when I saw news about the new bleah chapter. I'm gonna vomit if I even saw a glimpse of ichihihi or their incest kid, this no joke.

Every one is excited and I'm sitting here literally terrified 😐. Kubo will destroy the rest of us

Omg I'm so sorry you felt this way, hope you feel better now. I understand, I too felt way weird the whole day after the news, I was out of it, I found myself doing something when I was supposed to do something else lol unfortunately we can't control how our heart and mind reacts. I think what my mind is actually "scared" about is going through that pain all over again. Which I hope and think will not happen again. I hope you feel better, usually after the initial impact I just get back to "whatever" mood like who cares, after all I left ble*ach back in 2016. As I always said whatever we would get next I would just simply ignore and not care about it.

You should do the same too, I mean of course we aren't going to like the ships or the hell spawns ever, so if there will ever be content of them of course we aren't going to like it, so just Ignore it, it's lit not for us. At this point I don't get ichirukis that expect Ku*bo to NOT make content for the canon ships? It's kinda ridicolous imo? He can do it if he wants? Of course we ain't going to like it? But that's how it goes. We just have to deal with it. Honestly I said on twitter I hope he goes for it, it's been 5 years that everytime there is some news, we go throught this mess of "will he do this, will he do that" and feel like shit because we keep wondering when he is actually going to adress his canon ships and ugly kids. Wouldn't it better if we just get it out of the way? Once it happens we can finally stop going "omg is it gonna happen this time" all the freaking time, it's a shitty feeling eiter way.

I was ready for it since after the ending, it's beeh 5 YEARS and we're still in this limbo, I wish for it to end. Are we ever going to like the ships? NOPE but that doesn't mean we have to cosume the content at all. We will be disgusted seeing it? YES, but you can try to just ingore it, I mean there is still people up to this point that still haven't read the last chapter, if they can do that, we can ignore the upcoming one. I mean I also never read anything at all after the ending, no novels, now BTW manga, no interviews because really? Me still reading Ku*bo's shit after everything he did? I am not going to do that mistake ever again. The things I've seen and read are just things that ended up on my tumblr and twitter but even then, I choose to read it, I could've ignored it too.

Aaaaah what a mess 20 years and we're still wondering if the canon ship is going to get content, it's ridicolous almost in a funny way how they got nothing up till now. Even when we "lose" I see them as losers tbh. Either way Ku*bo could easily just keep destroying all the canon we got in the past like he did in the last chapter and that's even worse than getting the canon ships content if you think about it oh well but after that ending what's there to destroy anymore? Didn't he basically shit on everything already? Can he do worse? Yes he can lol we'll just have to throw it in the trash like we did with the last part of the canon manga.

I am having such an epically terrible time managing my anxiety right now. I’ve had two full out panic attacks in the last couple weeks and three that came pretty close. I fight insomnia in the middle of the night, I wake up breathing hard with my heart beating way too fast, I constantly have to remind myself to breathe deeply, and I get angry and irritated so much faster than I should, even with the people I love most.

I fucking hate it, all of it.

But what I want to say is this. If this is relatable content to you, please give yourself credit for the stuff you manage to accomplish, even when you’re genuinely struggling. I’m still somehow managing to make it to the gym and that feels great. I talked to my gf last night and that made me smile. I had an excellent conversation with S over dinner that made me feel as if I had some better insight into what’s making him so stressed this school year. I’ve been doing a much better job about calling my dad quite frequently, which is important because his memory is getting way worse.

Not everything has to be a total victory. If you washed the dishes or took a shower or remembered to pay the electric bill or took a walk or went through the car wash or folded the laundry for ten minutes, THAT’S AWESOME. Stop comparing yourself to people who don’t have anxiety or executive dysfunction. You’re not them.

Idk, I just have a lot of feelings about this. I’m totally working on moving away from this deep dive into endless anxiety, but as long as I’m at the bottom of the canyon, I’m also trying to relish tiny victories.
