Artistic Dilemma

I have not necessarily had the best life; Already 30, and I've made no progress toward a brighter future. I know little about myself, but it is clear that I want to create, draw, write, and imagine. So here I am, poorly scraping out ideas one after another with large breaks between. Generally, my moniker is TempestxTapestry; you can find me on Pinterest, Twitter (X), Tumblr, Pixiv, and more

Is this what Agoraphobia feels like?

I feel like screaming this is so tough, I don't even understand why my brain insists on telling me this is going to be so rough. To fucking stand at the side of a cliff because my brain insists that everything here is going to end in a tiff. While I know my life is grand, I soar through the skies with the support of my family, the soup in my skull would brand me an abomination to strand upon the seas of my thoughts nothing more than a calamity.

Beauty and the Beast Girl

Recently I have been immersing myself in various writing materials lately, predominantly Manga and Manwha. I began to maintain a spreadsheet to rate what I read, and I have observed that a significant number of Yuri works receive a higher rating. My preference for confirmed WLW romance, LGBTQ+ representation, and captivating stories that I can't put down is evident in my ratings. However, one Manga, in particular, stands out. It may not be the most distinguished or well-written, but towards the end, the story had me in tears. I wholeheartedly recommend The Beauty and the Beast Girl, even though it has been completed for a while and is old news. The Manga deserves more recognition than it gets. While some parts of the story may feel like filler, and the author may have lost track of the plot for a period (originally intending to finish it after eight chapters), they eventually get back on track. Once they do, every negative criticism about the Manga becomes irrelevant. It is worth the wait, and there are many reasons to love it. If you appreciate yuri/girl's love/shoujo-ai, then I highly recommend giving it a read.

The gift I gave my mother for Mother's Day was my own impression of Sunrise by Monet. I realize it was someone else's work first, and I'm no were near good enough to be painting it myself, but it's what she asked for this Mother's Day, and I chose not to say no

Far from my best work, I’m testing out a bunch of different brushes today

[tempestxtapestry]

Took me 7 hours, I realize my line work is far from perfect, proportions are off, and shading/coloring still need a lot, but compared to a year ago I feel proud of my improvements.

Sadly Failing

It’s been nearly a month since I’ve posted anything. Why? Because My computer is dead. I’m phone bound for the foreseable future. Right as I picked up and decided to change my life and stop mopping about life punched me in the gut. I’ll be back, but I don’t know when. I’m back to waiting and sketching when I have paper to do so, and I’m eternally sad because of it.

Well someone displeased the sky gods didn’t they

[augustdementhe]

My first thought was someone pleased the sky gods, because this is a SHOW.

That’s the problem with gods; their pleasure and their wrath often look the same.

My Sibling’s birthday came with the request for a Venusaur merged with a hibiscus flower. I went a bit crazy  x.x  The actual hibiscus turned out way more realistic than I thought I would ever be capable of doing...  so I guess I am improving

Conceptually understanding shadows is not hard for me, but actively figuring out how best to utilize the brushes within the program is. Color theory and depth of field are the real challenges though. It’s a lot of practice, but it is almost just as much study

[tempestxtapestry]

I am in desperate need of improvement in the expressions department, and the clothing department...   and well, the everything department, but I’m not giving up yet!

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

I don’t know what is going on with me. I got a lot closer to my old way of drawing with these eyes; yes eyes were the first thing I ever drew well on paper. With that I have basically closed the pencil/paper to graphics tablet gap in one month. Now I just have to actually get good
