If you follow me...

...please keep in mind that this is my personal blog. I post my opinions, observations, frustrations, and interests here.

🎇If you consistently find my posts upsetting, frustrating, or exhausting, it may simply be that we're not a great fit for each other's dashboards, and that's okay, please just unfollow or block me.

🎇I assume if you're following me, you're over 18. You are responsible for your own curation, not me.

🎇MDNI. I will repeat that so that it is perfectly clear - minors DO NOT interact with me or my posts. I am not interested in having conversations or exchanges with literal children on the internet. I'd really prefer no one under 20 interact with me.

🎇If you're looking for my art, it might should all show up under #nick draws and writing under #nick writes

🎇If you tell people to kill themselves over fictional characters or ships, do not follow me, you are not welcome here.

🎇I am anti-censorship and pro-AO3.

🎇I am a dude, and I enjoy drawing and writing characters with masculine traits more often than not. If you are in any way anti-masculinity, dni, you are not welcome here.

🎇I block liberally. Even if I agree with you, there's a good chance I will block you if you're a dick when you argue with people. I also block over fandom opinions I disagree with. I'm not here to argue, I don't care if you are.

🎇 Speaking of blocking, I also block if you excessively post characters who do not canonically have children, as parents. No hard feelings, just not my thing. I don't want to be a parent and I don't want my comfort characters to either.

🎇If you can't separate real life from fiction, you will not enjoy it here and I will not cater to you if you're bothered by that.

🎇If any of my posts make you want to buy me a coffee, you can do so HERE.

Hey, I just noticed you have a follower tax, so here's mine. I loved this song before OFMD, but it really reminds me of Stede/Mary and Edward/Izzy's dynamic. It's "Out of Time" by Philip Labes.

Hope you like it. :)

(couldnt find a youtube link for this one :()

[Verse 1] In 40 seconds, we both know that it's over I look back, I see you close the door We both saw this day From a hundred miles away But we're beautiful for half a minute more

[Verse 2] In 30 seconds, all our sniffles turn to silence So my footsteps echo on your floor 'Cause you only need to cry When it hurts too much to try We've decided we aren't trying anymore [Chorus] Tick, tick, tick goes any good thing Forever is a diamond lie We can't stop the clock, so let's just talk Until out heartbeats rhyme Until we're out of time

[Verse 3] In 18 months, both of us are laughin' In thе loving arms of somebody new And you stumble 'cross my namе But it doesn't sound the same Just a person you once knew

ABSOLUTE AGONY THANK YOU

☕ digital vs traditional art, go off.

oh fuck, where to start? 

I love traditional bc i have more control of my hand and just overall i know what im doing, sksksksk. 

But also if u fuck up? you FUCK up. Without mentioning some materials can go wrong with others and they cost a TON of money. I love traditional but she is very high maintenance. 

And then we have digital that u have layers effects which are a LIFE saver and honestly love how they look, I can make little shortcuts easier as: i make a logo and then added on the character and same with tattoos. Ctrl+z my beloved. 

But my two main issues: tablets, especially this funky fella:

  my wrists, HURTS. My learning curve had a LOT to do personally with the way I hold the pen, bc sometimes the cursor would go to the moon and back if I didn't the other thing is art programs or well, memory usage, pencils all the works. 

I doodle a LOT and I have like 620 layes on a program if not more (I know, tf is wrong with me) but I know when a program is good when they have the automatic save system that allows me to reload what i was doing before my PC crashed on me. Also, There's more programs whose interface is so ‘hostile’: ‘what does this do?’ ‘what is that?’ ‘what's going on????’ or PSD or CSP in my case. I get they saturate the place so that u know what its offering but it also its so complicated when ur trying to know wtf are u doing. 

Anyways, I live both.

LAST SONG: Black Smoke by Blues Pills. Im back into my stoner rock mood I guess

CURRENTLY READING:  Ok, I’ve picked up Anathem by Neal Stephenson last month but i had to pull a stop in the middle of it because its a very difficult book even for his standards ( even though its pretty good). So I switched to something i’ve been meaning to pick up for some time, The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin .  Also the Black Sun  by R. Roanhorse has piqued my interest, might give it a shot after? 

CURRENTLY WATCHING: Castlevania’s last season on Netflix, finished yesterday- I liked how they managed to wrap it up , but  I’ll miss it.  Wish they had planned more seasons.

LAST MOVIE: You are gonna laugh at this, the Monster Hunter movie. Well, its campy as fuck , but Mila is kicking ass and Ron Perlman’s sideburns could have a spin off series of their own I guess? :P Also I LOVED the dragons .

CRAVINGS: Hmm.  Ben and jerry's blondie brownie core. I would sell my soul  for ice creams , yeah.

Hey, I LOVE your work! Do you ever do any streams of you drawing, or do you have in-progress vids posted anywhere? I'm always curious to see people's art process.

Hi! Firstly THANK YOU! Secondly, I do have some process videos I made (quite a few more since CSP had its update) I just haven’t posted them because there doesn’t seem to be much interest for that.

I have a few posted on twitter and tumblr

Some are on youtube or in my google drive but the rest are private for now.

Literally every time I see your url I think to myself "I should ask her what her url means" and yet I never have 😅

LMAO OKAY SO URL BREAK DOWN

it’s a couple words! the first chunk was my username on wattpad, on there I was just “shellib”

shell- name of a character from a comic I liked forever ago, I don’t remember the name

ib- “inspired by”

and then the rest is just “is she”! because I’m pretty sure shellib was taken

[shellibisshe]

I follow because I love your art style and your OCs. You're also a wonderful person and I like being reminded of that whenever I see your posts on my dash 🥰
