Y’all don’t understand what’s got me so emotional since I saw the ED of TYE like—
First, just seeing all the spirits that choose to stay with Fushi since the beginning and those he met after; but also foreshadowing, what will likely happen near the end of the season, all of them waiting for Fushi to wake up from their sleep. Just all them vibing in wait and I cry,,,
Okay but just this little tiny snip moment near the end of the song and as Bon comes in to join the rest, is just seeing March holding Tonari’s hand like pls,,, im so soft and crying — I just love how the whole Immortal Army group is just a family and I will scream about it forever. The thought that they both may see, in a sense, Parona and Oppa in one another makes me cry,,,
Anyways the strong urge to draw March, Tonari, and Ekko/Iddy just having a girls time cause yes 😌
Just wanted to say that youre an amazing artist! You're really inspiring ❤️
Maybe you have some tips for an artist (who draws a lot of oc content) about how to develop his account or such?
Omg howdy there! I admit I was taken aback when I saw this this weekend (°ヮ°) I was admittedly very busy as family and friends were over to see me graduate with my masters! Still so,,, much in befuddlement but am extremely happy and proud of myself for making it! (◕‿◕✿) 🎓 I've gone and done it y'all! ✨
I went off on a ramble just based off information that came to mind, I hope this helps. My advice is always so scattered and everywhere, I do apologize if I have missed anything! Everyone does these things differently and this is just based off my own experiences and what I've seen over the years!
As for your question my friend, first of all! Amazing to know a fellow artist, I hope I have a chance to see your artwork and oc content some of these days ahead! ^^
Second of all, I had to think a lot about this because I've essentially had random bursts and moments when it comes to trying to focus on my personal stories and oc content. I have many Oc's and self inserts in different fandoms that kind of boost me in some relevance within those areas of interest and followers too.
However, for my own personal stories Ocs, I love posting and putting my content out there and I have been doing it for a fair amount of time since I started using tumblr; posting most, if not a lot of it, on this main blog of mine. I later started a side blog specifically made for that content to post and to look through aesthetics and inspiration for my characters and world building -> @wewillbelegendary. I will say it has been hard to keep up with posting directly there as it is like starting a blog from scratch and love using my main blog. Honestly, I tend to alternate a lot it just depends, I reblog it on there at as I have more traction on my main.
But I do highly recommend you at least considering having a separate oc blog, if you are still growing a blog in general, I highly recommend it as it will be a nice concentrated area for all of your art on oc content. That can grow into world building, character inspirations, art development, so on and so forth! Also using appropriate tagging system to help guide others to your content and so people can see it in those specific tags! There are plenty out there especially those like #digital art #artist on tumblr #original content #original characters, etc. I am sure there are many more that I have used or others have and it just depends on the subject of the content entailed.
You may have to reblog several times through your main blog to gain traction from your followers or audience, engage with other posts and other people content to gain some relevancy with them too! Follow other content creators like them too!
If you have been drawing them for a long time, post artist development of your characters over the years to show their initial concept to where they are at now! Post your sketches in all their bare bones (I fail at this sometimes~ but I highly encourage you!), you can be direct with your wording or give a hand full of sentences to explain the post to give others insight. Post about what inspired you to make that specific content for your ocs like song or quote inspiration.
Overall, a lot of it relies you posting consistently, if you really want to gain attention to your work! It won't all happen in a day or a week, even months. I don’t think there is a set time people post on here, I tend to do so in the mornings during the week to Saturday and tend to spread my posting after two days when I have a handful of art to post! Also double or triple reblogs in the afternoon or following day depending on interation!
You have to motivate yourself to post about your work and gain others attention to notice you! I have since calmed myself down from such a mindset though (sometimes I get anxious because I haven’t posted or done art and that’s okay, don’t stress or push yourself over if you haven’t!). I post my oc content because I am proud of it, if it gets noticed then I am happy, even by a few or handful of people. I am giddy when people reblog, more so when small tags are added in 🤍 sometimes my content isn't always liked or reblog and that is okay! There is no shame or worry about deleting and reposting again another time too. Hell, I know some people often tweet or repost on instagram their works again so others don't have to search all the way down to the initial post!
I also recommend posting on other socials as well! Instagram is such a good place for that! With similar tagging systems! Maybe on twitter too, but it just depends and you are also limited on the tags and characters you use. Everything kind of cumulates when you have more at hand!
Honestly, it has been a while since I have posted oc content in general, I had some burst inspirations earlier in July and recall rambling about it to my fellow mutual on here about it 🥺 she is such a dear friend and love rambling about each other's ocs, self inserts, and f/os. Make friends who will indulge in your creations and in theirs!
I sincerely hope that this information helps you some! Again, I have always been more of a self insert and shipping fandom artist with a healthy handful of oc content posted over the last,,, 12 years overall,,, oof (；・∀・) and more or less 4 years for self shipping content.. I, personally, have always just safeguarded my ocs because I wasn't the best at talking about it/them? I suppose? Gradually, overtime, got out of that mindset and became more confident about showing my characters and bits of information about them, at least in main story. Especially, with the encouragement of others I consider good friends here on Tumblr 😌
I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day and that you steadily grow your content overtime! I hope to see some of your oc content one day! 🤍✨
Kinda wild that I'm suddenly obsessed with To Your Eternity again,,, look I am excited and feeling soft, especially as my heart has grown warm and giddy over Hairo Rich, a character that will soon come to screen in a few weeks ;;w;; but also cause he's adorable in the recent finished arc in the manga. He got certified to be a baker and I FECKING sob 🤍😭
Also i've just declared Fushi and Tonari my silly kids cause heck,,, i love them and need more of them. Platonic, romantic, devoted comrades, I just need more of them darn it, they are adorable and hilarious together 🦉🐺
but as I have doodled them before, here I am drawing them again >:3 and im soft with the doodles I have made so I hope to share those soon~
atsushi put his big heart into his legs, that's why they're so long.
HIS HEART IS SO BIG AND HEALTHY FROM BEINF IN THE AGENCY AND GROWINg SO MUCH INTO THE BESR MC HE IS!! 😭😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧🤧🤩🤩🤩🤩 @frigatea
Plus! All that growth and strength from being confident in his ability has given him a growth spurt 😌 he told me himself, he’s all legs for fast running ✨
Also a silly doodle because I had a funny in my head but kind of failed anyway (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) I wanted to do a classic tol and smol meme with AtsuDany but ended with this 🤧
Anyways a big good luck blessing with Atsushi’s return! 😤 truly a good sign to this year of the tiger! 🐯
It’s been s hot minute, I’ve just been obsessed with Encanto and crying over the song “Dos Oruguitas”.
Also Atsushi and Jason sweetly and lovingly saying “Mi Vida” and “Mi Amor” to me has been brainrotting my head for days because I’m a fecking sap and I’m embracing the idea of them swooning me with them loving names to me heck 💙🐯🐺⚡️
The same vise versa and they just melt into a puddle as they feel the love in my voice 🤍😌 I’m not hecking CRYIGN (I am )
They also do it a little off which only makes me cry and love them more that they try to speak bonitas palabras de amor en español nomas para mi 🥺🤍
Welp, I’m emotional again, I don’t know how to feel totally about the present/modern arc ~ there was many things learned of course I just feel some points were taken and not fully acknowledged all the way through which is fine but ah my heart aches anyway~
As per use I usually preferred the moments with Fushi and their “immortal” friends along with the Aoki family. I liked some of the battle/action near the end at the school and the sewers with the Nokkers. Also the Black Hood/Satoru parts too, it was interesting to learn more about him and just reach his end into his new life as a human. Also just seeing the OG squad growing up made my heart warm 🥺 but yee; I hope to draw more of Hairo, March, Tonari, and Ekko too 🤍 along with more FuTo, I have a lot of feelings with them and want to bite them 🤍
I’m a scatter brain about some of it, but it was nice to read all of To Your Eternity all the way through now, I have comprehension for what is upcoming in season 2 and I’m ready to be hyped and cry ໒( ” •̀ ᗜ •́ ” )७ am also just curious to see what the next arc will be like, Future Arc I believe it will be 🤔
I did not just ruin my eyes more rereading TYE Manga on my phone. Like I’m ashamed of that but also at how much I skimmed over the first time reading it last year when I got into the show—
I admit when I’m originally excited over something I just skim over parts and narrow my focus on characters that I grew attached too so story? Out the window for me during that point in time (and I expect myself to just remember things that are repeated later on? And be offended when I don’t understand??!) ฅ(*°ω°*ฅ) at least some of it, I clearly forgot a lot of key things that happen in the Renrel Arc that actually reading thoroughly in the last “few” hours has awakened my third eye 👁️
And also left me in anguish 🥲 but I digress Fushi can resurrect his friends that chose to stay with them that is what matters most to me🥹 into the modern arc next for tomorrow, maybe I might be slow with it but ah I need to process a lot of what happen and also like — how this season going to touch on all of it 🤔🤔 I can’t wait tho ✨ I am also inspired I hope to draw more To Your Eternity peeps 🤍
